Prince Bo is a royal family, and although he can be regarded as a strong martial artist, he is no match for a famous general like Rong Yao. In the end, Prince Bo was seriously injured in Rong Yao's hands and died.
"This minister is reckless, and I planned to arrest the victim, but this person is really difficult to deal with. I accidentally killed him by mistake, and I also ask the Sixth Highness to punish him."
This is what Rong Yao said when he walked down the tower and came to Yuan Tang to apologize.
Yuan Tang was still by Gu Changqing's side at the moment, riding a tall horse and looking down at his uncle Rong Yao.
He smiled coldly in his heart.
His uncle didn't believe it when he said this kind of nonsense
That's right, if you don't kill Prince Bo, what should you do when Prince Bo returns to the palace and shakes out words that are unfavorable to Rong Yao
This uncle is really far-sighted and ruthless.
However, did he really think that he would be infallible without Prince Bo
Yuan Tang looked at Rong Yao with a half-smile but not a smile: "Uncle has worked hard. Uncle has done a good job in killing the traitor. When he returns to the capital, the royal father will definitely reward uncle for his merits and deeds."
Rong Yao knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said with sincerity and fear: "I don't dare to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, I just want to make up for my deeds. This minister was also bewitched by Prince Bo, and really thought that everything was the will of His Majesty, but who would have expected it to be this way? Someone falsely passed on the imperial edict, causing us to go on an expedition with him... Please, His Royal Highness, be careful."
Gu Changqing on the side opened her thin lips lightly: "Heh."
Rong Yao's face became ugly.
Rong Yao's youngest son, Rong Fu, died in the hands of Gu Changqing. Rong Yao harbored great resentment towards Gu Changqing in his heart, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.
Yuan Tang looked at Gu Changqing, then looked at Rong Yao, and said with a light smile: "Uncle is serious, how the truth will be returned to the capital, the father will verify it, as long as uncle has a clear conscience, I believe that one day the truth will be revealed. White."
Rong Yao's forehead seeped a layer of cold sweat.
He didn't dare to look up into Yuan Tang's eyes, he had already felt the threat from Yuan Tang.
"Sixth Highness, can you take a step to speak?" Rong Yao said to Yuan Tang.
Yuan Tang rode a horse and returned to the army of Chen Guo with him.
Zhang Cang looked at the backs of the two and said to Gu Changqing, "General, the one named Rong is probably going to fight."
Chen Guo's 80,000 reinforcements, coupled with Yecheng's 60,000 troops, overwhelmed the Gu family's army in numbers, and it must be a bloody battle.
Gu Changqing's face did not show the slightest anxiety, he said lightly: "Yuan Tang will not agree."
If Yuan Tang really wanted to go to war, he wouldn't come alone, and he wouldn't call himself Gu Jiao's friend when introducing himself.
I don't know what Yuan Tang and Rong Yao said over there, Rong Yao almost ran away, but Yuan Tang ignored him at all, and directly let the army of 60,000 Chen Guo withdraw from Yecheng.
Of course, this matter is not over. It was Chen Guoxian's war in violation of the peace treaty. All the losses in the war will be borne by Chen Guo. This is tantamount to worsening the situation for the Chen Guo court, which has already experienced a war loss.
But this time, Yuan Tang really saw the cruelty of war and the terrible price it brought.
If Yuan Tang was still thinking of going to war with Zhao Kingdom one day when Zhao Kingdom was hostage, then he no longer has this idea now.
War is the power struggle of the superior, and it is innocent soldiers and common people who can sacrifice their lives for it.
Yuan Tang once again rode his horse to the camp of the Gu family's army, and said to Gu Changqing sternly: "If you can trust me, I want to take Rong Yao back to King Chen's capital first, and then I will personally go to Zhaodu to apologize to His Majesty the emperor of your country. peace talks."
Yuan Tang's identity so far is still the proton of Chen Guo, and it stands to reason that he is going to return to Beijing with Gu Changqing, and letting him go is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Without waiting for Gu Changqing's answer, Yuan Tang said again: "But before that, I hope I can go to the ancient city of Yue with you, and meet the Marshal and the old marquis."
"Okay." Gu Changqing said.
Yuan Tang followed Gu Changqing to Yue Ancient City alone. This magnanimity and courage were impressive.
However, when he really arrived at Yuegucheng, Gu Changqing realized that he had been fooled!
Where did this kid come to visit Tang Yueshan and his grandfather, he clearly came to see his sister!
As soon as Yuan Tang entered the city, he went straight to the wounded barracks: "Doctor Gu, I'm here!"
Looking at Yuan Tang, who didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, Gu Changqing narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Gu Jiao's disease has long since recovered, and she has passed the quarantine period. At this time, she is instructing several soldiers in the wounded barracks to rehabilitate.
He wears the armor of General Chen Guo.
Suddenly breaking in like this, the soldiers of the wounded barracks were shocked and immediately pulled out the swords beside the bed.
Yuan Tang clicked his tongue, took off the saber from his waist, and threw it to a wounded soldier closest to him: "Take it."
Wounded Soldier: "..."
Gu Jiao's expression was calm, she only glanced at Yuan Tang, and then said to the wounded soldier beside her who was recovering: "You continue."
The rehabilitated wounded continued to walk forward with crutches.
Yuan Tang stood beside Gu Jiao uninvited, and exaggeratedly said, "I'm not excited at all when I see His Highness, I wouldn't have come to see you if I knew it earlier."
"Is something wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.
Yuan Tang opened his mouth and seemed to be fine.
He clicked his tongue and said, "Why don't you ask me why I came to the frontier?"
Gu Jiao snorted and said, "To kill Prince Bo or to kill Rong Yao?"
Yuan Tang: "..."
"Hey, here it is." Yuan Tang handed her a small bag he was carrying with him.
"What?" Gu Jiao asked.
Yuan Tang stuffed the burden into her arms and said, "The Begonia Flower Box is for you, and the Bamboo Leaf Box is for my cousin. I have to go back to the capital first to deal with my uncle. Maybe I won't be able to go to Zhaozhou for a while. All, you bring my cousin for me."
"Yeah." Gu Jiao responded.
Yuan Tang raised his eyebrows: "Don't think too much, I gave you a gift just to thank you for helping my cousin bring something. Besides... I was able to escape thanks to your husband in Zhaodu at that time."
Originally, Yuan Tang thought that he hid well and didn't tell Xiao Liulang to know about it, but he recalled it carefully afterwards. Xiao Liulang was supposed to go to the office to be on duty, but he suddenly diverted out of the north gate of the capital and stopped at the inn. for a while.
I'm afraid Xiao Liulang found him early and deliberately sent him away.
Gu Jiao didn't know there was such a thing.
Thanks to Xiao Heng for letting Yuan Tang go, otherwise the battle would not have ended so quickly, and both sides would have had to increase casualties.
Yuan Tang said: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say, and I should go too. Remember to make my cousin miss me."
Hearing this, Gu Changqing finally inserted the drawn sword back.
Yuan Tang rode his horse to leave Yue Ancient City.
Looking at his retreating back, General Zhang asked, "General, are you really just letting him go? Chen Guo has 140,000 troops. If he goes to war with us at this time..."
"He won't." Gu Changqing said.
Jiaojiao believes in him, then he also believes in him.
Gu Jiao came out of the wounded barracks and saw Gu Changqing waiting at the door.
"Is it here to change the medicine?" Gu Jiao asked.
Gu Changqing said solemnly, "... um."
Gu Jiao took him to the camp next door, and used scissors to cut the gauze on his hands. This was not the injury he received while holding the red spear in order to protect Gu Jiao who was out of control when he first came to Yue Ancient City. The wound that fell while looking for Gu Jiao in the old nest.
Gu Changqing revealed the events of that day lightly, but the process was actually far more difficult and complicated than he imagined.
He learned from his staff that the map of the former army's nest and the secret road was not fake, but the map was broken, and the wooden bridge leading to the nest was destroyed by Huangfu Zheng.
Gu Changqing stood on the cliff for a long time, and was sure that unless he grew wings, he would never be able to swipe over with light effort.
So he planned to go down the mountain first, go around the foot of the mountain, and then climb to the top of the opposite.
The hardships involved are self-evident.
Fortunately, although the map was broken, the general orientation was correct. He climbed hard and dangerously on the cliff and almost fell into the abyss several times.
There was only one thought in his mind at that time, he wanted to live and find his sister alive.
The wound on his hand was left when he climbed the cliff, and it has not healed up to now.
In Gu Changqing's opinion, this kind of injury is nothing, if it wasn't for Gu Jiao here, he didn't bother to change the medicine.
"I can't get hurt anymore, or my hands will be useless." Gu Jiao said solemnly while changing her dressing.
Gu Changqing smiled lightly: "Well, no, the battle is over."
"The thread here can be removed." Gu Jiao looked at the wound on the back of his left hand and said.
Gu Changqing obediently stretched out his hand.
Gu Jiao took out the sterilized scissors: "It will hurt a little."
Gu Changqing said, "It won't hurt. Your stitches won't hurt."
No anesthesia, no pain.
Mentioning this, Gu Jiao's hand paused.
After escaping from the mountains, she sutured Gu Changqing's wound. At that time, there happened to be a wounded soldier in urgent need of sutures.
However, there was only one anaesthetic in the small medicine cabinet.
Gu Changqing gave the anesthetic to the wounded soldier because he didn't need it. He is a martial artist, and he is inevitably injured. Occasionally, if he is seriously injured, he needs to drink a little Maboi soup, but no matter what kind of Maboi soup is ineffective for him.
Gu Jiao couldn't help but remember when she first came to the capital, when she sutured Gu Changqing's wound for the first time, there was no anesthetic in the small medicine box.
She didn't take it too seriously at that time, but thinking about it now, maybe the small medicine cabinet had already determined that the patient was intolerant of anesthesia.
So his injuries, big and small, were all sutured without anesthesia
Gu Changqing stared at Gu Jiao and smiled gently: "It doesn't hurt, really."
"Yeah." Gu Jiao responded very seriously, but the movements of her hands were much lighter.
After the battle was over and the plague patients recovered, it was time for Gu Jiao and her group to return to the capital.
Tang Yueshan left some of the defenders, and Gu Changqing also left behind 20,000 Gu family troops to coordinate the post-disaster reconstruction of the three cities.
The prefects of Beiyang City and Yecheng were killed, and the imperial court issued an edict overnight and appointed two new prefects.
After the new prefects arrived at their respective official residences, the Gu family army and the imperial guards were also ready to go.
Princess Ning'an was going to return to Beijing with them.
It was the old man's task to save Princess Ning'an back to Beijing. Now the old man was still in bed to recover from his injuries, so Gu Changqing came forward and asked Princess Ning'an to show him.
In the wing of the Prefect's Mansion, Gu Changqing met Princess Ning An in the study.
Since Princess Ning'an came down from the mountain, she has been staying in her room, never going out or talking to anyone.
Gu Changqing understood that the remnants of the previous dynasty had hit her hard, and never mentioned the war and the consort in front of her.
Gu Changqing bowed her hands and said solemnly, "Tomorrow morning, we will leave for Beijing. I wonder if the princess has any other orders?"
Princess Ning'an stared blankly at the snowy scene outside the window. After a while, she murmured, "Can I go to Jicheng on the way back to Beijing... pick up someone?"
As she said that, as if afraid to trouble Gu Changqing, she added, "You don't need too many people, just a few people will do, he won't be difficult to pick up."
Gu Changqing was about to understand who the person to pick up was, and he said, "Wei Chen will go there in person."
"I also need to go!"
In another wing of the prefect's mansion, Gu Chengfeng, who had removed the splint on his arm and resumed his liveliness, said furiously.
He managed to recover from his injuries and planned to go to the battlefield to fight heartily, but he was told that Chen Guo had surrendered!
He has just become the Gu family army, and he has been named in vain!
The main reason is to let the big brother witness his strength.
"Okay." Gu Changqing replied.
Gu Chengfeng was excited for a whole night, and finally waited until he could go on a mission with his eldest brother. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the military camp fully armed, he saw that there was another Gu Jiao beside his eldest brother.
Gu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned dark: "Is she going too?"
Am I not the only one
Why should there be an extra girl for the honor of fighting side by side with the big brother!
"Get on the horse." Gu Changqing patted his mount and said.
Hmm, that's about the same.
Gu Chengfeng pouted and walked towards the eldest brother's mount. He had been coveting the eldest brother's mount for a long time. Apart from his grandfather's horse, the eldest brother's horse was the best in their family.
Better than a horse snatched from a concubine.
"It's not you." Gu Changqing ruthlessly blocked him, picked up Gu Jiao by the waist, placed it gently on the horse's back, and said softly, "Sit firmly."
Gu Jiao nodded.
Gu Changqing turned over and sat on Gu Jiao's horse.
Then the two of them went away!
Gu Chengfeng was left with a confused look: "..."
Hello!
Did you forget something!
