Chapter 61 Those who are afraid of their daughter-in-law are not bad people
Coincidentally, King Zhenbei and his party also encountered bandits.
Gu Ting did not choose to travel through the mountains and forests, because he was too tired, he would faint if he just looked at it!
Huo Yan may not have thought about it, Meng Ce's beautiful thing of hugging and hugging is also a prince, why can't he think about it?It's a pity that the same person doesn't have the same fate, Gu Ting can't give him this chance.
So how do we solve this matter?
The situation is very strange, there is no one in the wilderness, remote and narrow roads, and the strong bandits are carrying knives. They look scary, but they can't stand a closer look. Where did you pick it up in the old year, and you are so poor, you dare to shout: I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave it to buy road money!
I don't know how the kung fu is, but if you do enough stance, you can either give money or save your life!
Gu Ting glanced at Huo Yan, his eyes twitched slightly—these people don't seem to be very powerful?
Huo Yan nodded, his pupils darkened slightly.
Gu Ting couldn't tell, he fought all the year round, and he had a very vicious eye in this area, not to mention not very powerful, with just this few people, Fan Dachuan could handle it all by himself.
Fan Dachuan really couldn't hold back his anger, thinking that their Zhenbei army had been at the border for several years, how could they not beat the Beidi soldiers so much that they cried father and mother?Just a few young men, dare to block their way?Courting death!
But just as he stood up from the team, spat into his palm, and just took out his thick and long weapon, before he could build enough momentum, the bandit leader actually took the lead and lay down!
"Come on! Kill us quickly! Then the name of King Zhenbei can be spread! My family members can get more pensions!"
Huo Yan: ...
Gu Ting: ...
Fan Dachuan: ...
No, what about your integrity as bandits?Is it appropriate to lie flat without fighting?
Gu Ting and Huo Yan glanced at each other quickly, feeling that this scene was extremely wrong.
It's not that you can't kill, but if you kill, it's unavoidable to win.This group of people seem to be habitual offenders, not like gangsters who have done all kinds of bad things, otherwise they would not be so poor that they can't even afford a piece of clothing. In comparison, they seem to have some difficulties to force them to go up the mountain, and they don't want to be hobs Poor man who deserves meat too.Don't care about them, it's not that they are short of money, it's just that King Zhenbei was robbed by bandits in Beijing, does it sound good to hear it?
Moreover, this group of people knew their identities, and they seemed to have received the news long ago, and deliberately blocked them here.
Encountering this kind of thing, they will be very embarrassed when they come from other places. It should be very simple for the local people. , these bandits have to withdraw, no matter how small an official is.
"such a pity……"
Gu Ting sighed, for them, the connections in the capital are a bit scary.
Huo Yan nodded: "Yes."
Zhenbei Wangyuan is in Jiuyuan, so he shouldn't have connections in the capital, and if he does, he shouldn't be exposed for such a trivial matter.But in the face of such a poor hob meat, you can either lose face or expose your relationship, there is no third way to go.
Fan Dachuan scratched his head violently, the bandits in the capital don't even enjoy fighting, it's so fucking useless!
Gu Ting's brain turned quickly, and he gave Huo Yan a wink: "Let me go!"
Huo Yan curled his lips to make way for him.
Gu Ting held the stove in his hands, and took a few steps forward: "I see that your words are rude, but your behavior is very well-behaved, your clothes are not plump but your eyebrows are straight, your eyes are clear, you are by no means a wicked person, and if you are not desperate, you will definitely not do this kind of business. I dare to ask." In a word, I don't know what trouble you have encountered?"
The strong and thick eyebrows roared back: "What does it have to do with you! Tell you, don't talk nonsense, brothers don't want anything else today, give me money! Otherwise, we will have too many people, and none of you can get through!"
Gu Ting raised his head slightly, ignoring this threat: "I can die, but my family can't forget it. I admire you for your strength of character."
You can get specific information, know when and who will come, get a generous pension if you are killed, and know which direction to go when you make trouble. Bandits are so poor, it seems that there is no industrial chain behind them, and they are probably being used by others. up.
Being made a knife without knowing it, it's pitiful to think about it. Gu Ting didn't give all the reminders. Of course, even if he reminded, others might not believe it. He just smiled and put forward his own suggestion: "If you can't live, Have you ever thought about changing your way of life? For example, the Zhenbei Army is an existence that frightens Beidi, fighting all the year round just to protect his homeland and the people of Daxia. Have you ever thought of joining the army?"
The thick eyebrows were stunned: "Join the army?"
Gu Ting curled his lips into a smile: "Yes, join the army. To tell you the truth, we are all strong men. How can we admit that we are cowardly when we encounter a robbery? It's a matter of face. You don't have to lose your life, but you can't lose your hard bones. But If you all travel far to join the army and have no money, you will have no choice but to ask for help in this way, as the people of Great Xia, we and the men in the Zhenbei Army have blood in our hearts, so how can we not help?"
The thick-browed leader seemed to hear such words for the first time, subconsciously thinking and repeating: "Jiu Yuan..."
Gu Ting continued: "I found the way for you, I don't know if you dare to try it? You block the way to do this kind of business, how can you be an upright person, earn military merits to support your family, and fight for yourself? You should know the name of King Zhenbei Now, keep a pure land, protect the common people, give rewards and punishments, and look up to the heavens and the earth!"
The thick-browed leader snorted: "Heh, who doesn't know how to be obedient? It's not easy to be a good person! You say such hype, who knows that King Zhenbei is a bad-looking person!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The bandits set up roadblocks and made simple traps, with icy arrows stretched on the ropes. Everything was under control, but someone sneezed and lost his hand, and an arrow shot out Come out, not for others, but for their boss!
The bushy brow collar couldn't dodge in time, and when he was in a daze, Huo Yan frowned, lifted a stone on the tip of his toe, and knocked down the arrow.
Before the leader had time to be afraid, the crisis had disappeared, and there were mixed feelings in his heart.
He was obviously robbing someone, but he was rescued by him?So what to do next?Do you still want to grab it?I can't live without robbing, the family has no rice to cook, so grab it, I'm really guilty.
Before he could figure out why, he suddenly saw that the unreliable arrow was not the only one, but the other one had already been shot. This time, it was not aimed at him, but at the very handsome man who talked to him. My little son!
"Be careful--"
He immediately stepped forward and pushed Gu Ting.
Gu Ting always reacted very slowly to such things. When he fell to the ground, his eyes were dazed. What's wrong?
The bandit with thick eyebrows was shot by an arrow in his arm, the injury was not serious, the pain must have been very painful, he covered the wound with his teeth grinning, while glaring at Gu Ting: "I didn't save you just now, you are a meat ticket and need to be exchanged for money, Although what we are doing is not a personnel matter, we have to show loyalty, and before we get the money, we have to keep the meat ticket safe and sound!"
Gu Ting: ...
These bandits are quite special.
"you……"
Before he could say a word, his eyes darkened, and Huo Yan had already picked him up and put him on the clean boulder aside.
"Huh?" Gu Ting didn't understand at all, what was Huo Yan doing?
Huo Yan's face was dark, and his tone was a little dark: "You don't even know you're injured?"
"Injuried?"
Gu Ting frowned and lowered his head.
Of course he saw the arrow now, and he also knew why the bandit leader pushed him. He didn't think anything was wrong with him being able to walk and move, but after being told by Huo Yan, he seemed to feel the pain belatedly.
Huo Yan squatted at his feet, took off his shoes with big hands, pulled down his socks, and pulled up his trousers, revealing his smooth and fair skin, as well as red and red scratches.It's near the ankle, it's not big, but it's green and red, bloodshot, and looks scary.
Gu Ting sensed that Huo Yan might not be in a good mood: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt much."
"To shut up."
Huo Yan pursed his lips tightly, took out a small medicine bottle from his body and rubbed it on him.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
"I made a slip of the tongue again." Huo Yan held Gu Ting's calf, looked at the dazzling red, and said in a hoarse voice, "I said I won't hurt you again, but you got hurt before you even got to the capital."
His palms were too hot, Gu Ting's ears were slightly red, and he hid silently: "I've said it's fine, so I just rubbed the oily skin, it's not worth making a fuss about..."
He really felt fine.
But Huo Yan also really thinks something is wrong, the little thing looks so good, he should be pampered well, and there shouldn't be any injuries anywhere.
The ankles in front of him are still so delicate, the toes are still so round, and the line of the calf looks more beautiful than last time. Huo Yan used his body to block the view of others so that no one could see it. The wound was healed and the medicine was wiped off. He still couldn't put it down. I don't want to let go.
By coincidence, he lowered his head and gently kissed Gu Ting's calf.
Gu Ting:! ! ! !
His whole face turned red with embarrassment, what is Huo Yan doing!
Huo Yan will not regret it, he wanted to do this last time, and the palm holding Gu Ting's calf became even hotter: "Don't move, I will put socks on for you."
Crowd: ...
Are they blind?What did you see in broad daylight?Someone is doing that kind of thing here!
Gu Ting really never thought that such a thing would happen, and it was still under the watchful eyes of everyone!No matter how much you cultivate your relationship and pretend to be intimate, you can't do this!If so, you should at least avoid doing it when you are alone!
No, you can't do it when you're alone!
Is Huo Yan crazy?This kind of thing is not within the scope of the agreement at all!
Huo Yan, however, was an old god, and put on Gu Ting's shoes and socks with his own hands, put down his trousers, and said back, "This prince kisses his wife, why not? Don't you all have wives, why are you making such a fuss?"
It was very shameless for him to say an ordinary sentence with a taste of showing off and mocking.
Someone in the bandit group almost scolded, it's great to have a daughter-in-law!You are a majestic prince, what kind of trick is not good enough to use this kind of trick to mock others?
Gu Ting... Gu Ting covered his face with his sleeves and didn't want to talk anymore.
Really, you can do it yourself, I can't afford to lose this person!
But Huo Yan grabbed him with a big hand and refused to let him go at all.
Gu Ting: ...
Are you sick, my lord!
"You are...you are that Mr. Gu!"
The thick-browed leader suddenly punched his palm, bringing back the memory!
The news of the victory of the Jiuyuan War continued to circulate. What the court cared about was the result of the war and the military exploits. The people knew that they had won a big victory. ...He has a beautiful heart and is unparalleled in beauty, but he can be firm or soft, he can scold people and defend the city, but he is very delicate and exquisite, and he speaks casually like Xiao Jinzhu and Xiao Nanzhu. Could it be this one in front of him?
Didn't it mean that it's just a favorite, the prince's baby is no good, and now the wife has called it?Is this a good thing?
Being stared at by a pair of hot eyes, Gu Ting was embarrassed, he had never felt so ashamed, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break away from Huo Yan's hand, so he kicked Huo Yan's calf angrily: "Let go of me! "
"Don't move, be careful of the wound." Huo Yan was unmoved, and even threatened with words, "If you don't obey, I will hug you in front of so many people."
Gu Ting: ...
Being able to do anything like kissing the calf in front of others, these words are obviously not just a threat.
Gu Ting stopped talking and pinched him angrily.
Huo Yan was calm and composed from the beginning to the end, without raising his brows, as if he was being beaten and scolded by his daughter-in-law, and he didn't mind at all, and was even very happy and honored.
The thick brow collar looked brighter the more he looked, and even began to stroke his not very long beard: "The prince is really kind, his heroism is unmatched in the world, he is a good prince!"
Standing behind him, the second leader reminded in a low voice: "Boss, you can't think that just because he is afraid of his wife, he is a good person like you..."
The thick-browed collar turned his head in an instant, covered the roughly bandaged wound, and gave the second child a shudder with difficulty: "What do you know, kid! There are no bad people in the world who are afraid of their wives! What are you still doing? Get up and put it away, and put away the broken arrow, don't let it go off!"
On the one hand, I feel that I have seen the unknown side of King Zhenbei, which is a little kind, and on the other hand, I also have my own little thoughts.Thick eyebrows lead the brothers to do this job for so long, but they are still not rich, probably because they have persistence in their hearts and have a bottom line. Some things just cannot be done, and others will not do them. Arrived today.What Gu Ting said was right, if they hadn't been desperate, they wouldn't be in this business.
But today, the other party offered a way out, which is quite tempting.
He cupped his hands towards Huo Yan: "If we really want to ask for a safe place, I don't know if Jiuyuan will accept it?"
Huo Yan: "As long as you don't commit crimes and obey the rules, I will never treat anyone harshly in Jiuyuan City."
It is done!
Gu Ting finally felt relieved, and signaled Fan Dachuan to hurry over to work.
Fan Dachuan is not as thoughtful as Xia Sanmu, not as smart as Weng Min, and not as impulsive as Wei Lie, but he is very down-to-earth, and he is the most upright of the four generals. Since he is not an enemy, he needs to settle down here, and his attitude is of course Immediately switch, add sincerity, know everything without saying anything, and quickly break the sense of distance.
The bandits gradually lost their estrangement, but the decision was made on impulse, and there were still many follow-up preparations. Fan Dachuan didn't mind, and even ordered a small team of soldiers to go to the bandits' residence in person.
The dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat has been solved in this way!
"Don't worry now?" Huo Yan turned to look at Gu Ting.
Gu Ting nodded: "I'm lucky this time."
Huo Yan wrapped his arms around his shoulders and wrapped his hands around his knees, and hugged Gu Tingheng: "It's not luck, it's because this king has a good wife."
Gu Ting turned pale with shock: "What are you doing—"
What kind of dog talk are you talking about!
"Hush—" Huo Yan curled her lips to remind, "Keep your voice down, so many people are watching."
Gu Ting covered his face in pain.
You also know how many people are watching!I only have a little scratch and it's not that I can't walk, why do I want you to hug me like this!
There is no way, since the play has started, it must continue to act, since it has shown intimacy, of course it must continue to be intimacy, so that others cannot find out that it is a lie...
Gu Ting looked at the blue sky through the gap between his fingers, feeling a little depressed, why did he feel like he dug a hole for himself to jump in, and you moved a rock and hit your foot?
If he hadn't touched Ci Xinjian's favor at the beginning, if he hadn't volunteered to help out a few days ago to perform "Zhenbei Wang's Family", wouldn't he have encountered such embarrassment now?
It's retribution!
Finally got to a place where no one was around, Gu Ting immediately reminded: "Okay, there's no one here, let me down quickly!"
Huo Yan: "There are also hidden guards, let's go further."
Gu Ting: "It's okay here! There's no one here, let me down quickly!"
Huo Yan no longer had any reason to refuse, and slowly put Gu Ting down: "Okay."
His eyes slid across Gu Ting's waist, and he clenched his fists with Kongmang's palms, as if he felt a little regretful.
……
After crossing this mountain and going further along the official road, you can reach the capital in less than a day, and you only need to stay in the midway inn for one night in the middle.
Once here, there should be no more trouble.
Gu Ting asked Huo Yan: "Shall we wait for Meng Zhen here?"
Huo Yan glanced around and said, "They should be here soon."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the sky was dark, Meng Zhen came, and jumped out of the car as soon as he saw Gu Ting holding the hem of his robe. He didn't want any brothers or guards: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh! stop stop!"
He hugged Gu Ting and rubbed against him: "I miss you so much! Do you miss me? How is the new year? You haven't even written to me yet! I still want to take you to our aunt Hidden play, I never expected to receive an imperial decree that we will meet in the capital! Hey, let me see, have you lost weight?"
He also leaned forward, sniffed and sniffed: "It smells like medicine, are you injured?"
"No, I'm fine."
Gu Ting was a little embarrassed, and by the way, he gave Huo Yan a fierce look, and just scratched his oily skin. If it wasn't for the medicine, he might have recovered by now!Huo Yan had to make a fuss and apply medicine and bandages. It was so scary, how could he have the nerve to show it to others?
Fortunately, Meng Zhen is simple-minded and easy to deceive, so he immediately changed the subject: "It's you, how is your journey going? Did it go well, did you encounter any trouble?"
"It's troublesome, the big brother I told you in the letter is nothing at all, and later I encountered a wave of assassinations and murders of bandits, if it wasn't for my guard—"
Meng Zhen suddenly remembered something, and pushed the cold-faced guard beside him to Gu Ting: "Teng Ting, look quickly, who is this!"
Meng Ce, who only made a simple disguise, can be seen through by acquaintances at a glance: ...
Gu Ting: ...
But Meng Zhen looked expectant, was he surprised? Gu Ting could only clap his hands with a very surprised expression: "Ah, so it's you!"
Meng Zhen dimpled from laughter, and Baozi's face was full of joy: "Hahaha, you're scared, my brother—"
Gu Ting suddenly covered his mouth.
Meng Zhen blinked, looked left and right, and breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear on his face: "You are still clever... This is a secret, very dangerous, and you can't just say it casually."
"Meow-"
The little lynx remembered Meng Zhen's taste, and jumped over in twos and jumped onto Meng Zhen's shoulder, coquettishly: "Meow——"
Meng Zhen was even happier: "Hey little leopard! Come and give me a hug! Did you miss me these days? Did you eat well? Well, Xiaodudu is so fat, he must have eaten a lot!"
Two little ones with one little one, the atmosphere is indescribably cheerful.
Meng Ce and Huo Yan just nodded at each other and looked at his little one with a helpless expression.
Sometimes, it's really empathetic.
When good friends get together, of course the top priority is to have a good meal!
Four cold, four hot, eight small dishes, and then a hot pot, warm wine, one person at the Eight Immortals table, while eating happily, can also talk about the experience of these days by the way.
While chatting, Gu Ting suddenly stopped: "Do you feel... that our experiences are actually very similar?"
Huo Yan and Meng Ce also thought about it, and they were not surprised to hear this, but Meng Zhen was confused and didn't know: "What's the similarity?"
Gu Ting nodded and counted for him: "Look, we met Yu Xinglan, and you met a very gentle and considerate big brother; we met assassination, and you also had it; the bandits blocking the way are even more obvious, even if Not in the same wave, but doing the same thing!"
Meng Zhen said "ah", a little scared: "Then, what does this mean..."
Meng Ce squeezed his younger brother's neck to make him relax: "It's a temptation."
Meng Zhen looked up: "All of them?"
Meng Ce nodded: "Yes."
Huo Yan put down the wine cup: "The first one is to pick out the weak point, the second one is to test the ability, and the third one is to explore the contacts."
The corner of Gu Ting's lips curled up into a mocking smile: "The weakness of King Zhenbei is his pet. Don't you like such a young man? Then I will give you another one, and see how you choose. Guzang's little prince loves to cling to his elder brother the most. If you like to be taken care of by others, then give me one too and see if you want it."
Every choice is a differentiation, a separation, the beginning and opening of a crack.
Meng Ce: "Assassination reaction, insinuating one's own strength, how much danger can be resisted; in response to the bandit reaction, not to be ashamed, you must show your contacts in the capital."
But others probably didn't expect that he would take a slanted sword and cross the mountains, and they didn't expect that Gu Ting would not take the usual path and directly fooled people into the Zhenbei Army.
Meng Zhen slapped the table: "This is too bad! Who came up with this trick!"
The other three have no answer to this question.
I knew that this trip couldn't go smoothly everywhere, and there must be a lot of pitfalls. I didn't expect it to be so urgent, so many, and now it's like this. What troubles are waiting for them in the capital?
There are emperors, imperial concubines, crown princes, second princes, various families, and various interest systems. Regarding their arrival, some want to revenge, some want to test, some want to win over, and some want to kill... Too much.
Gu Ting patted Meng Zhen's hand lightly: "Then do what you do vigorously, and it won't hurt you? Anyway, we will be together in the future, there is nothing we can't solve, so don't be afraid."
Meng Zhen's eyes brightened: "Yes!"
Under the night, there are many dark colors, but the world of mortals is thousands of miles away, and there are candlelights everywhere.
……
Not only themselves, but people far away in Jiuyuan were also worried about this road to Beijing. Early the next morning, Gu Ting received a letter from Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
There are those from the Crown Princess, all kinds of loving advice from the elders, and those from Huo Yue and Huo Jie. Huo Jie is still young, and he writes lively words and letters lively. At the same time, the little girl Huo Yue is one year older during the Chinese New Year, and she is worrying more.
In the letter, she reminded Gu Ting to be careful when alone.
A woman whom the eldest brother knew.
