King Zhenbei has a favorite

Chapter 39 The real crisis

Gu Ting didn't know what Gan Siniang had gone through, and he couldn't interpret her mental journey. With her eagerness to speak, and her cunning and ruthless character, Gu Ting knew that if he had to trust her, he couldn't trust her too much.

Her words must be true or false, and there must be traps in ambush.But which sentence is true, which sentence is false, and where is the unknown trap?

Gu Ting thought about it seriously.

Qing Falcon is Gan Siniang's lover, it is true, the love in a person's eyes cannot be hidden, mentioning Qing Falcon's name, Gan Siniang's all reactions are too unusual.It's a pity that Qing Falcon committed suicide, and his death was too unexpected and too simple, leaving no useful information. For him, the mission should be a success, but he didn't know that Huo Yan had been following him quietly, and it was very difficult for him to die. His conjecture didn't go in the direction he wanted, but he had other reflections... Gan Siniang probably didn't know about this.

The most painful place for Huo Yan six years ago... Gu Ting felt that after going through that kind of thing, every bit was painful, but Gan Siniang said that there is something, as long as others use it to attract, Huo Yan will definitely follow , is it true?If yes, what is such a thing?If not, what is hidden behind this incident?

Gu Ting walked out of the dark room, and the snow started to fall again.

Xiaoxue fluttered in the air, swept obliquely with the cold north wind, and then swayed heavily. The not-so-big snowflakes, just following the biting wind, flew out with their teeth and claws, the aura of dominance, and the eyes of the sweepers were disturbed. Heart flustered.

Gu Ting let out a long breath, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked slowly through the bluestone corridor, through the long corridors, and through one school after another in the huge palace.

The shouting was getting closer.

The wind was strong, the snow was blowing, and the practice on the school grounds did not stop. Boxers punched, spear danced with spears, and guns played with guns. What's the matter, even this palace, this Jiuyuan city can't hold them anymore, they are just so powerful!

Ever since he entered this palace, Gu Ting felt very strange. The people here... no, everyone under Huo Yan, including his previous life, seemed to always be like this. They could radiate energy anytime and anywhere. It can be twisted into one rope anytime and anywhere, with the same goal and the same behavior, just like... There are always people in front of you who can look up to and follow, and there is always a backbone.

Gu Ting suddenly realized.

Since it is a group, we can give each other their backs, and rely on life and death, why hesitate, ask if you don't understand, what is there to hide?

Finding the direction of Coach Lin, Gu Ting walked over.

Huo Jie was the first to see him, with tears in his eyes: "Stop brother, save me!"

The cub who is only seven years old is as dirty as a little tabby cat, his forehead is covered with sweat, his clothes can't see the original color, his short legs are shaking like a sieve, and he has to be forced to stand still. It's really miserable point.

On the other side, Wei Lie imitated the pattern of panting and panting: "Stop brother, save me!"

He is being chased and beaten by Instructor Lin. What Instructor Lin uses is neither a sword nor a halberd. The shape of the weapon is peculiar, like a thorn or a dagger, more like a hidden weapon. It is very thin and sharp. Scratch, with the sharpness of this weapon, a touch will cause serious injury.

Well, Coach Lin also threw hidden weapons, sharp needles, thin knives, poisonous powder and smoke pills. He seemed to have a mobile arsenal on his body, and he threw whatever he caught at Wei Lie.

Wei Lie jumped up and down, hiding in a mess, he was fast enough, and it wasn't that he couldn't react, but he had a straight temper and a straight style of play, he couldn't stand so many thoughts, and would always miss these messy things.

When he asked Gu Ting for help, he had just rolled and crawled, which was not elegant at all, and he avoided a dangerous but dangerous knife, which was also very pitiful.

Gu Ting: ...

It seems that the opportunity is not suitable, or I will ask later.

He turned away.

Huo Jie:! !

Wei Lie:! !

Don't stop bro!Brother stop, don't you care about us!

"Young Master Gu, wait a moment, it's just educating the two brats, and it will be over soon." Coach Lin saw that Gu Ting was looking for him, and raised his voice to keep people away.

With just this one sentence, he had already beaten Wei Lie to the ground: "Think that soldiers are straight-minded and don't know how to use hidden weapons? Since you are a forward general and the first to confront the enemy directly, you should know In order to open up a good situation and boost morale, what cheap tricks won’t be used? Poisonous smoke, poisonous needles and hidden weapons, you are not proficient now, why don’t you turn around and die?” He also raised his hand and called a soldier, “Let’s play again Arrow, row, let him hide!"

He looked at Huo Jie again: "Stand up straight! It's the time when your bones are burning, and you have to stand up even if it hurts! Crying——OK, you can stand up and cry, don't move, and if you don't have enough time to stand, the penalty will be doubled." !"

Huo Jie was shaking his legs, tears were in his pockets, and his face was full of lovelessness. Wei Lie was afraid that he would double his hidden weapon by saying one more word, so he turned his face listlessly, not to mention asking for help from Gu Ting, he didn't even dare to look at him.

Instructor Lin came over and wiped his face with a square handkerchief: "In my school field, those who are too soft-hearted are usually not allowed to come."

Gu Ting immediately understood, so Princess Lin and Miss Huo Yue were basically not around...

Looking at the people on the school field with pity and apology, he followed Coach Lin to lead him to a small pavilion.Seeing that the surroundings were safe, he said directly: "I just met Gan Siniang, and she said something."

"Said?" Coach Lin seemed not surprised, nodded, "It's about time."

So it's not that there is no punishment, but the method of punishment is special?

Gu Ting thought about Gan Siniang's appearance at that time, realized something in his heart, and slowly told the experience before and after, and everything Gan Siniang said, to Coach Lin. Coach Lin touched his chin, and raised his eyebrows immediately: " thing?"

Gu Ting nodded: "Uncle Wang, did you leave anything from back then, which is more important and has a special meaning?"

Instructor Lin: "Yes. We warriors have nothing more than two things for our lives. The first is a horse, and the second is a weapon. Compared with a horse, Uncle Wang prefers his weapon. It is a long knife. It was specially found by the old prince back then. A famous craftsman customized it for him to fit his height and arm length. It is longer and heavier than ordinary knives. Uncle Wang likes it very much. After wiping the knife outside all night, the bride Xu almost thought that he had a flower job outside, and almost left before returning home."

"The first time the couple quarreled was also about whether to put the knife on the bedside. This knife is longer than normal, harder, and it doesn't fit well with a scabbard. It always breaks if it is matched. Uncle Wang is lazy to wrap it. I have always kept it by the bedside, and it is convenient to pick it up in case of danger. The knife is too sharp, and I will scratch myself if I am not careful. Uncle Wang is used to it. It's okay to be cut, but he can bear it, but the bride can't bear it..."

Teacher Lin smiled when he remembered the past: "Let's not talk about us, even the prince, who was still the prince at that time, couldn't touch it casually. The old prince was busy, and the prince spent a lot of time with Uncle Wang. The relationship between the two is the best, but compared to that With a knife, the prince has to lean back, he has to perform very well, make great progress, or make some great achievements to be allowed to touch it. Not to mention Xu, the prince had a big grudge against this knife when he was young."

"... But many years later, Mrs. Xu cherishes the knife the most. If she wants to take good care of the knife, her husband will also be well. The one who values ​​the knife the most is the prince. As long as the knife is here, Uncle Wang is here, never far away."

In just a few words, Gu Ting seemed to be able to outline the image of Uncle Wang in his mind, he must be a brave and free-spirited person, informal, and occasionally a little straightforward.He and his wife must be very happy.It's a pity that in the battle six years ago, the husband and wife were killed together, and even the child was lost.

"So this knife..."

"Lost it six years ago."

Instructor Lin turned his face away and looked at the vast snow outside the pavilion: "The battle was too miserable at that time. We were caught in a trap. There were too many troops in Beidi. Uncle Wang led his own soldiers to fight to the last moment. The corpses were not complete. The prince caught up and personally Collect it for him, but the knife can never be found again."

Gu Ting: "I didn't find it later?"

Teacher Lin shook his head: "No."

"Is it possible...to be taken away by people from Beidi?" Gu Ting couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he thought of this possibility.

Coach Lin looked at him and frowned: "I don't want to lie, it is indeed possible."

Gu Ting: "If Beidi used this saber as a lure in front of the battle—"

Coach Lin narrowed his eyes: "I'll send someone to send news to the prince immediately!"

He snapped his fingers to invite someone to come over, gave instructions like this, and went immediately when he saw someone, then Coach Lin turned around and cupped his hands at Gu Ting: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, this is really important."

Gu Ting hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't expect that Qing Falcon would have an affair with Gan Siniang, it's just luck that they just ran into each other, but with such luck, God will surely bless King Zhenbei, and this battle will definitely be won!"

Coach Lin also firmly believed in this: "My king, I will not lose!"

Gu Ting prayed in his heart that he must catch up with this little soldier!

Too bad it's still a step too late.

The little soldier ran fast, and followed the marks all the way to find a new battlefield camp. His legs were running thin, but he still couldn't find anyone. The battalion who caught a wounded soldier asked, "What's going on? Where's the prince?"

"Chasing the enemy."

"But this is already the fifth wounded barracks I've found. According to the rules, shouldn't they stop and rest?"

"The fourth prince of Beidi seemed to show the prince something, and the prince didn't stop."

"what?"

"It's too far away to see clearly, it seems to be a weapon?"

The soldier was in a hurry and asked which direction he was going, but he didn't bother to drink water, so he got on his horse and continued to chase.

Five miles away from him, at the height of Banpo, Beidi Fourth Prince Chi Hao was playing with a black long knife: "Following up?"

The confidant guard smiled: "You have already taken out this treasure, how dare Huo Yan not follow? Huo Guang died so badly back then, his body was not complete, and it is uncertain whose arms and legs were buried together, only this knife , but it has been practical for decades..."

Chi Hao lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up obliquely: "Since we are so destined, why don't we just die here!"

General Fan Dachuan of the Chinese Army followed Huo Yan at the bottom of the slope, his eyes were loyal and firm: "Don't worry, my lord, I will try my best to get back Uncle Wang's things!"

Compared with Fan Dachuan's firmness, Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around casually: "Yeah."

At the same time, You Dachun received bad news one after another. The siege failed, the Zhenbei Wang family was not caught, and Zhang Guihui was captured!Although Zhang Guizhong is loyal to Zhang Duo and will definitely take matters into his own hands without implicating others, how can the Zhenbei Army be so easy to fool?What if he finds out that one thing on the surface is one thing behind the other!It's fine if you, Zhang Gui, didn't do your job well, but my people were also implicated!Dao Anran is sick, everyone in the room is sick, what will happen in the future!

And Gu Ting...

What a man!He is obviously Huo Yan's person, yet he dares to make up nonsense to play me?

Zheng Yin looked around the room trying to find a solution, when suddenly someone came to report that Huo Yan had run away after the fourth prince of Beidi, and ignored the soldiers behind him, all for a knife!

coming!

You Dachun's eyes lit up immediately, yes!Aren't you crazy?Isn't it never defeated in a war?Also robbed me of food, let's see how you die this time!

His eyes rolled quickly, and he thought one idea after another. The king of Zhenbei has fallen into the urn, and he will die sooner or later. I can't find him to take revenge, and I can't cure you little boy?

The expected best time has come, so what are you waiting for?You Dachun immediately issued an order to implement the final plan!The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion in Jiuyuan City is going to be established, Gu Ting is going to be killed, and the credit here is also to be taken!Huo Yan is dead, and everyone related to him doesn't have to live. If he didn't die, it's none of my business. It was all done by Beidi people. You are useless yourself. Who is to blame?I also worked hard to kill the enemy to save you, and I still have great achievements.

You Dachun acted immediately, seemingly to help defend against the enemy, but in fact he made every effort to make the enemy attack more fiercely, and also helped him eliminate dissidents. If the enemy's offensive was too fierce and the momentum was not good, he immediately Withdraw, save your life!

Being able to mess around in the battlefield like this is already credited, and the final defeat... none of his business?It was Huo Yan, the general who was not strong enough, and he was punished as well!

……

The Zhenbei Palace has never received a reply from Huo Yan. Coach Lin is rarely a little nervous, and so is Gu Ting.But the more nervous you are, the more you have to pretend to be calm and calm as usual, so as not to cause panic in the area.

Meng Zhen was greedy and pestered Gu Ting to make soup.Not only did Gu Ting wash his hands with a smile on his face as usual, but he also cooked a big pot for everyone, such as Dong Zhongcheng's wife, Liu Shi, the princess who is still ill, and Huo Yue and Huo Jie, who are growing up.He knows how to match the properties of the medicine to be the most warming and tonic, and how to reconcile the taste to be the most delicious. Thinking about it is also a fate, but the effects that everyone needs are similar, and the first thing is to promote blood and nourish Qi.

Only the cub, Huo Jie, didn't like it very much. He said it was too bland and he didn't like it. There must be meat, a lot of meat, otherwise he won't be full!Not only did he dare to make demands, but he also dared to hug Gu Ting's thigh and play tricks, and he would even cry when he was wronged, and refused to let him go if he didn't agree.

Teacher Lin smacked his head and said, "He actually kissed you."

Gu Ting looked at the child who was punching vigorously: "He is very lively."

"That's in front of you, try another person," Coach Lin squinted over, and clicked his tongue, "Little wolf cub, he's wild, just like his brother."

Gu Ting's eyes were a little dazed: "Is that so..."

Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere was brewing with all kinds of unease. On this day, the military drum at the city gate suddenly sounded—enemy attack!

The soup that Gu Ting brought over just now was hot and fell to the ground before it was served.

Wei Lie was the first to jump out: "Where is my knife!"

He put on the armor while trotting, and saw Gu Ting grinning his white teeth lively and cheerfully: "Fortunately, it's morning, I just warmed up and my body is full of energy! You are busy, don't wait for me to have lunch !"

The giggling striker walked out of the gate of the palace, and immediately squinted his eyes, with a serious and serious expression: "While the prince is not here to sneak around, think I'm dead!"

With the sound of war drums, the atmosphere in the palace tensed instantly, even the face of the little cub Huo Jie became tense.

Not long after, someone from the gate of the city sent a reply, saying that the enemy is different this time, the number of visitors is much more than last time, and the charge is more fierce than last time, no discussion, no words, no response to anything, come Fight as soon as you hit, without stopping, it seems that the goal is very clear, that is, to attack the city!

The messenger spoke quickly: "General Wei said that he can withstand it, no problem! But there is a sharp archer in the enemy camp who is very capable, and he hits every shot. We have no suppressors on our side, so we won't be able to gain the upper hand for a while..."

Gu Ting looked at Coach Lin.

Coach Lin stood up slowly and rubbed his wrists: "I'm going to play with them!"

As he walked out, he looked at Gu Ting.

Gu Ting knew what he was worried about, and nodded at him: "I am in the palace."

Every war is cruel, life is lost, blood stains the ground, Gu Ting never takes any chances, but this time the danger is heavier than ever.

Because the siege enemy army finally spoke, and they kept saying nothing surprising. They said that Huo Yan was dead, at the hands of Chi Hao, the fourth prince of Beidi!Just because he wanted to recover Uncle Wang Huo Guang's knife, he was ambushed by Chi Hao, hacked to death with random knives, and there was no bones left!

Angrily, Wei Lie snatched the bow of the guard beside him and swiped a few arrows: "Fart your mother! You didn't poop this morning, your stomach is full of feces, and your mouth can't hold it!"

"Don't believe me? Did your messenger come back with good news? Did any of you see him? Why did we dare to attack the city blatantly? Just because your prince is dead! Hahahaha—we don't want Huo's family to be guests, but we I want all the people in Zhenbei Palace to die, one by one! Come on, brothers, avenge the humiliation that I, Qiang Di, have suffered!"

The enemy's momentum was huge, one after another, this time there was no need for messengers at all, Gu Ting heard it himself.

Huo Yan... is dead?How can it be?In his previous life, he didn't die, and he survived such hardships tenaciously, and this time it must be the same, it must be a trick, the enemy must be scaring them!

But if he told himself not to be nervous, the strings in his heart would not stop vibrating. Reliving a new life is a variable, and coming to Jiuyuan City is the same. Many things are different from the previous life. Maybe what he firmly believes will not be as expected?

He will be nervous, and the others in the palace will be the same, and the uncomfortable atmosphere gradually spreads...it can't go on like this!

Gu Ting told himself not to think too much, at least not to think about it right now, let's talk about it after getting over the difficulties in front of us!Huo Yan is too far away, he can't reach him, but the people around him have to be protected, the princess Huo Yue and Huo Jie, one counts as the other, nothing can happen!

Carrying the hem of his robe and running towards the main courtyard, Gu Ting remembered that the crisis in his previous life was a little later than this. It was almost half a month before Jiuyuan City ushered in a big battle. Most of the casualties were caused by the shortage of medicinal materials. Being able to carry it through, Huo Yan's four generals also died, and Huo Yan became a lonely family overnight, and he never smiled again.He doesn't know how this war was fought, and he doesn't know if Huo Yan was "died in battle" in his previous life, but he hopes that Huo Yan can win, at least the same as in his previous life!

We all work hard, you work hard to survive the battlefield, come back to Jiuyuan City to meet me, I will try my best to keep your family, so that you will not be lonely in the future, okay?

Gu Ting gritted his teeth and told himself that if he could pass, he would definitely!

At the same time, a black-clothed and masked squad jumped out of the city and rushed towards the Zhenbei Palace.

More than half of You Dachun's people did not live with the bastards in the mansion. They said they were officers and soldiers, but in fact they only listened to You Dachun's orders. Usually they would not dare to do such things, but today is different, Huo Yan has already If you are dead, don't those who know practical things hurry up and make some merits, and wait for others to make merits to run on themselves!

A small half of them were from the Hongya Tower, they had entered Jiuyuan City long in advance, they had been dormant, no matter what danger happened, they didn't show up, they just waited for this moment.Because the number of people is too small, they usually do not communicate with suspicious people, but appear to be safe and have escaped many investigations.

The group of people moved in unison, and the leader was still shouting loudly: "Kill the family of the king of Zhenbei, and the enemy will not slaughter the city!"

"The king of Zhenbei is dead, we must protect our own lives!"

"Hand over the Zhenbei king's family and protect the lives of the people in my city!"

The crowd is passionate, the more they say it, the more it seems true, and the more they say it, the more inciting.

Compared with the hatchback, the defense of the city a few days ago seems to be just a rehearsal, nothing has changed, and everything has changed!This time is the real crisis!

Gu Ting felt like he was going crazy, but he couldn't be crazy, the palace didn't have much help right now, and he was still pointing at him!

The concubine Tai Wang is still ill, and she is drowsy and unable to bear it. After asking Nanny Gui, Gu Ting decided not to disturb, and looked at the little girl Huo Yue: "I know that what happened six years ago was very difficult for you, but we have to Be brave, and you can go step by step in the future. At that time, your grandmother took you to a place, which was dark and small, and no one could find it, remember?"

Huo Yue nodded lightly: "I remember."

Gu Ting: "Very well, remember that place, don't tell anyone, take your younger brother and grandma with you, and hide there, okay?"

The little girl cried: "No... no... and you..."

"Good boy," Gu Ting rubbed the little girl's head, with a smile on his face, "I'll be fine. Back then, when your brother wasn't there, you all persevered. Now there's one more me, although I'm not as good as you Brother is brave, it’s okay to support him a little bit, trust me, okay?”

Huo Yue shook his head and refused, tears streaming down his face.

Gu Ting sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to put on a straight face: "Don't let me be distracted, I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to kill myself."

"Stop brother, don't say that, I'm obedient..." Huo Yue cried and held her brother to leave.

Huo Jie hugged Gu Ting's leg tightly, exerted all his strength, and was very stubborn: "I won't go! I'm a man from the Huo family, and I'm the younger brother of King Zhenbei. If my brother is not here, I should take care of everything. Brother Ting will also take care of it." I should take care of it, how can I hide and survive, I will not leave! My brother taught me that my surname is Huo, I am a man, and I was born to protect others!"

Huo Yue hit him on the back angrily: "Do you think I don't want you to fight for me! But you are too young!"

"My sister just looks down on me!" Huo Jie had a sullen face, maybe he didn't know that tears were already streaming down his face.

Gu Ting held his tightly clenched fist: "Do you want to hurt sister?"

Huo Jie looked at and pulled his fingertips to turn white, and his nails hurt his sister a little, so he immediately turned pale and stopped struggling.

Gu Ting touched his younger brother's round head: "Grandmother is old and still sick, sister is a girl, it is inconvenient to be outside when the enemy is attacking, we are all outside and have no time and can't take care of it, Brother Xun is a man, take good care of him Are they okay? If someone dares to kill them, you are the last line of defense to protect them, you know?"

Huo Jie's eyes changed immediately, and he obediently held his sister's hand: "Well, I'll go! Hurry up, sister, we still have to pick up grandma!"

Be very proactive.

Huo Yue's heart was sore, her eyes were sore, she gritted her teeth, and looked at Gu Ting: "Don't worry, I will persuade my grandmother, and I will take good care of my younger brother, so no one will find out."

Gu Ting shook his head: "You tell the princess, rest in peace of mind and recuperate, everything is up to me, unless you step over my body, Gu Ting, no one can get close to you!"

After sending the little girl and siblings away, Gu Ting didn't say anything to the worried eyes of his friend Meng Zhen, and directly raised his hand to knock him unconscious, and handed him over to the guard Zheng Shishi.

"Sorry, if I try to reason with him, it definitely won't make sense. The matter here has nothing to do with King Guzang. It's better not to put him in danger, and you take him away immediately. The outside is too chaotic at this time, so it's not appropriate to leave the city. You first Take him to hide, once the chaos ends, no matter who wins or loses, you will take him out of the city immediately, you know?"

He looked at Meng Zhen's face, his voice was a bit bitter, but more firm.

Zheng Shishi's eyes were a bit complicated. He was Meng Ce's personal guard, and he had been used to seeing others take advantage of and curry favor with Meng Zhen for many years. There was never a single person who had nothing to ask for at such a time, only thinking about Meng Zhen's safety.

"Thank you. Mr. Gu, please take care, the young master loves your soup."

Gu Ting was stunned, and smiled: "Of course, if he succeeded, I knew that I might not be able to escape for the rest of my life."

After sending everyone away, Gu Ting looked at the long follower beside him: "You...I'm afraid you will have to follow me."

Wu Feng knelt in front of him on one knee: "Will you die for my Lord!"

Gu Ting helped him up, without saying anything, and there was no need to say anything between their master and servant. Turning around, he called the guards in the mansion: "Map of the palace!"

Soon, the table was set, the map was laid out, and the topography of each place was clearly drawn and marked clearly.

Gu Ting slid his fingers over every corner of the palace, comprehending and remembering these different characteristics, the approaching shouts of killing seemed to be inaudible, and did not affect his thoughts at all.

The enemy attacked the city, and with Wei Lie around, he couldn't help, and it was too late, but those words were not just casually, anyone who wants to pass here, just step over his corpse!

To live for so long is to earn money, and to start life again is not just to live in mediocrity, but also to have some meaning—to die here is also worth it!
