King Zhenbei has a favorite

Chapter 38 He's My Man

In the distance outside the city, a cavalry team was riding against the wind, and slowly approached, even closer, carrying a big Huo flag——

It's the Zhenbei Army!

"Reinforcements are coming! It's reinforcements!"

The defenders of the city tower cheered for joy, immediately changed their tactics, opened the city gate, and flanked back and forth with the reinforcements.

Zhang Gui panicked immediately, what else could he do?The current situation is only - "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

However, he didn't know that there was more than that to the tragedy that awaited him.

Wei Lie is not far outside the city now. The first scout found out the news and found that the situation was not urgent, so he didn't show up immediately, and he didn't send all the soldiers there.He is a striker, he likes to charge in front of the formation, but he is not without brains, he will charge at any time.After gesturing, the soldiers lined up according to their position, killed them, and slowly outflanked the enemy, leaving only one opening... He quietly sneaked to this opening ahead of time and waited.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Gui led the team over, and was caught by Wei Lie, and then the whole team was almost wiped out, and Zhang Gui was captured alive.

"It's not interesting, it's not difficult at all."

Wei Lie came forward whistling, pulled Zhang Gui's beard for disguise, his eyes lit up: "Yo, so it's you."

Their lords just feel that something is wrong. The Fourth Prince of Beidi is so capable of tossing around, there must be something wrong. It is expected that the other party may sneak attack, but I don't know from which direction and in what way. Looking at it now... it turned out to be the Zhang family.

Wei Lie stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, telling the scouts to report the news quickly, patted Zhang Gui's face, and smiled: "Okay, it's time later, let's talk slowly."

Zhang Gui wanted to cry but had no tears. How could he have imagined that an action that was basically a certainty and was under control would turn over like this!

He was cheated by Zhenbei King's favorite, and was let go by Dao Anran. If he hadn't been smart, talkative and able to smooth things over, the Beidi people would have killed him at that time. He has worked so hard, but still After being pressed and rubbed on the ground, Wei Lie actually came!Why did it come so fast?It's impossible in terms of time!

Wei Lie escorted the man, whistled and walked towards the city gate, he didn't care how shocked the other party was, their lords are very powerful, they can predict the enemy's opportunity and plan ahead, come and bite me if you have the ability!But the weather here is not bad, I don't know how the prince is doing.

Huo Yan's side is not doing well, there is still wind and snow.Heavy wind and heavy snow are not conducive to hiding and tracking, which is fair.But he beat too hard and chased too closely, and the fourth prince of Beidi, Chi Hao, was bleeding from his wound and almost fainted.

He thought very well, now that Jiuyuan City is in dire straits, Huo Yan must be very uncomfortable if he can't get back in time, You Dachun is still waiting for a knife in the back at any time, you really——do you want to continue chasing me?

If you catch up, you won't be able to save Jiuyuan City. If you don't chase, if you go back, you may not be able to save Jiuyuan City, and you will be torn apart by my Beidi army!The border is the last line of defense. Once morale collapses and Huo Yan no longer defends, Beidi will be like a broken bamboo, and they will enter a thousand miles!

Huo Yan knew exactly what Chi Hao was thinking, and Wei Lie hadn't sent a reply yet, so he didn't know what was going on in Jiuyuan City, but he wasn't afraid at all.Beidi's main army is still here, there are defenders in Jiuyuan City, the palace has guards, plus Wei Lie's soldiers, if he can't even defend Jiuyuan, he, the prince, will not do it.

It's all expected, so what's there to be afraid of?

Xia Sanmu came over and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Wei Lie must have arrived outside Jiuyuan City at this time. No matter how Ren Beidi dies, the city should be fine."

Huo Yan shook his head: "Call for a battle in a while, yell louder and lighten your posture, don't let them find out that Wei Lie is gone."

"Yes!"

Xia Sanmu narrowed his smiling eyes, like a cunning fox.In today's battle, I don't know who plotted whom?

Huo Yan asked again: "You Dachun still want to follow us?"

Xia Sanmu: "Weng Min sent news that this lord has been around, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up, and he was chasing him very closely."

Huo Yan squinted his eyes: "I'm sorry for being so active in helping him. I'm sorry for not being kind... You send a small team, put on Beidi soldiers' clothes, and cut off his rations!"

"Yes!"

Quickly arranged the next battle strategy, Huo Yan continued to bite Chi Hao and fight.If I can hurt you once, I can hurt you twice. If you want my king's life, you are 800 years too early!

It's just that every time the wind becomes a little gentle and snowflakes fall on his face, he can't help but think of Gu Ting who is now in Jiuyuan.I don't know what he is doing at the moment?That day when he hit him with a snowball, Xiaoxue was so light that it didn't feel cold at all when it fell on his face.

They said they had known each other for a long time, but in fact they hadn't been together for a long time, less than three days in total, but for some reason, he was just worried about him.Such eyebrows, such mischievousness, such petty temper... Don't be bullied when he's not here.

The knife was stained with blood, the battlefield was killing, for a moment, this person was the most important thing he could think of.

Little thing, don't mess around, just wait for me to go back.

……

Wei Lie escorted the captives into the city with great fanfare, just as Gu Ting came down from the tower.

"Huh!"

Wei Lie's eyes were wide open, and the knife on his shoulder almost fell and hit his foot, what kind of fairy beauty is this!Black hair in red clothes, snow-skinned skin, a waist full of grip, and even the fingers are slender just right, this wife of the master is so beautiful!It's not that he hasn't seen Gu Ting secretly, he always knew that Gu Ting is not bad, but he didn't know that he looks so good after cleaning!

"Quick—you!" Wei Lie quickly pointed to the tall and thin man in the middle of the line, "Yes, it's you, didn't you learn to draw? Now, immediately, remember the appearance of this young man, and send the picture to our prince! "

The thin and tall man looked confused: "To... who will send it?" If he heard correctly, the boss is talking about the prince?

Wei Lie knocked over: "Can't I understand what I'm saying? Give it to the lord! Our lord!" Tsk tsk, it's a pity that the lord can't see such a beautiful scenery!

Seeing that Gu Ting was about to approach, Wei Lie hurriedly pushed away the tall and thin subordinate, pretending that nothing happened just now: "Are you the one who scolded and fought on the tower before? I saw it all. You are so smart. You are so smart. Wood can play!"

wood?who?

Gu Ting had never met the other party before, his eyes were a little confused: "You are—"

Wei Lie immediately stood up straight and introduced himself: "Wei Lie! The prince's soldier!"

Oh, it turned out to be him.Gu Ting nodded: "The vanguard general of the Zhenbei Army?" One of the top four generals in Huo Yan's account, died young in his previous life, and did not survive this Shangyuan Festival.

Wei Lie was very excited: "My lord mentioned me to you?"

"No." Gu Ting looked at him, a little surprised, "Didn't you follow Huo Yan to kill the enemy at the border, why weren't you in the army?"

Speaking of this, Wei Lie felt sad: "That's right, Mr. Gu! Brother Gu! Can you write a letter to the prince and ask him to transfer me back to the army? I am a forward, and I am used to rushing at the forefront of the army. Bald-headed Fan is more familiar than me, he is the most stable in the middle army, it would be great to let him come!"

Gu Ting's ears were slightly red, and he turned around expressionlessly: "Why do you ask me about your lord, you can ask him yourself."

Wei Lie was aggrieved: "Isn't this what I dare to ask, it's just a slap in the face..."

Just as he was about to catch up with Gu Ting, someone grabbed him by the back of his neck. He squinted his eyes and slashed at him with a knife. When he saw the man's face, he immediately panicked: "Ah, the instructor is you!"

Coach Lin smiled very 'friendly': "You don't want to see me, huh?"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Wei Lie shook his head like a rattle.

Coach Lin: "You don't want to clean up the mess with me?"

Wei Lie continued to shake his head: "No, no, I didn't!"

Coach Lin: "Don't want to listen to the prince?"

Wei Lie took a deep breath and almost cried: "I was just teasing Mr. Gu, and I didn't mean to disobey the military order at all..."

"Then come on, tease me too, I'm quite bored now."

The child has just been tired for a long time, and even blushes shyly and wants to tease, tease me!

Instructor Lin took Wei Lie away involuntarily: "Since you're back, practice with me."

Wei Lie: ...

hum.

There is no way to be a soldier!

Gu Ting returned the luxurious and fragrant car and other things to the palace. The princess hadn't woken up yet, and the danger of defending the city was over, so he didn't stay any longer. Under the eyes of sister Huo Yue's reluctance, brother Huo Jie burst into tears, and left the palace.

Back in his small courtyard, he brought Baozilian Meng Zhen over and taught, "You came to see me, did you talk to your brother properly?"

Meng Zhen sat down obediently: "I left a letter for my brother."

"Only one letter?" Gu Ting was suspicious, "Your brother didn't come after him?"

Meng Zhen proudly raised his chest: "My brother is a good brother, the most powerful brother in the world, so he is not so clingy! He absolutely supports any decision I make, and he will not be angry! Don't worry, stop!"

Stop what the hell?

Gu Ting didn't bother to correct Meng Zhen's address, and frowned: "Are you sure? You really won't get spanked when you go back?"

Meng Zhen pointed at her fingers and smirked: "This, this... My family has always spanked hands, not buttocks."

Gu Ting: ...

Gu Ting had no choice but to take care of the unscrupulous little friend, Gu Ting said seriously: "I don't blame you, I am very happy that you came to me, you came because you cared about me, but Meng Zhen, I also care about you. I know that I What are you doing, how do you do the best, but I'm not as powerful as your brother, if you come, I may not be able to ensure your safety."

Meng Zhen waved his hand indifferently: "No need, I will take care of myself!"

Gu Ting sighed for a long time, stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I said something wrong before, if you have something to do, I'm not afraid of your brother killing me, because I may be trapped by this matter myself, and I don't need others to do it. , the heart will die."

Meng Zhen became a little scared: "Don't, I really didn't mean that, I didn't want to bring you a burden—"

Gu Ting held down his hand, and looked into his eyes seriously again: "I just want you to know that you are very important, and you must always remember to protect yourself, and don't take risks lightly, your safety is not only important to you Brother is very important, and it is also very important to me, you know?"

Meng Zhen was stunned for a while, and the circles of his eyes turned red: "Well...you are so kind, you are the best and best person in the world except for your brother."

Gu Ting patted his little friend's dog's head: "Of course."

Meng Zhen licked his lips, and looked at him with round eyes flickering: "Can you make me a pot of soup?"

Gu Ting: "Huh?"

Meng Zhen: "You made the soup with your own hands! It's the most delicious. It has no medicinal taste even though it has been put in medicine. It's delicious, and it's warm after drinking. It won't be cold when you sleep, and you won't wake up in the middle of the night! This road you walked I was thinking, what would I do without this bowl of soup in the days to come, without stopping you?"

Gu Ting: ...

So this worry-free baby ran back because of greed!Does his brother know that he lost to a mouthful of soup!

Ding Ding looked at the little friend in front of him, with a delicate face, cute baby fat, clear and clean eyes like the night sky, when he smiled, his brows and eyes were particularly bright, as if the sky was lit up by him...

The mouth is still so sweet.

Forget it, what else can I do with the friends I made?Only pampered.

"Wait."

Meng Zhen sat down and corrected to be more obedient, with a serious face and a voice: "Yeah!"

When I was in the city tower, I was very tired and panicked. After the matter was over, there was nothing to do, but my mind was still a little messy. I just had a soup and calmed down my thoughts slowly and quietly.Gu Ting tied up his apron, picked up the ingredients, washed them, sliced ​​them into pieces, and put them into the casserole in order...

After more than an hour, the soup was ready and he and his fellow foodies were fed. Gu Ting forced Meng Zhen to write a letter to Meng Ce.Asking the elder brother how to arrange next time, Meng Zhen is not at ease here, when will pick him up, forcing Meng Zhen to make countless promises to be obedient and not mess around, and then let the tired and broken child go to take a bath and rest.

……

Wei Lie brought his troops back to help, and the crisis in Jiuyuan City was resolved immediately. He couldn't help later, so Gu Ting was relieved, always feeling that something was wrong.Huo Yan is wise and transparent, knowing the overall situation to predict the enemy's opportunities first, and it is normal to win a battle, but it goes so smoothly... I feel a little uneasy no matter what.

Gu Ting lamented that he was a worrying life, like that blue falcon, he was a frightened bird, unable to enjoy the quiet.But at this special time, you can't be too careful. It's good to check one by one and find nothing. If there is a problem... it should be solved!

After thinking and thinking, when there was no one around, Gu Ting quietly approached Coach Lin and asked him, "My magistrate is imprisoning Gan Siniang, can I ask questions?"

He could tell that both Huo Yan and the Crown Princess valued this person very much, so it was definitely right to ask him.

Sure enough, there was no surprise on Teacher Lin's face, he just nodded slightly: "Your Highness has something to say, you can do whatever you want in the mansion."

Gu Ting: ...

So direct!He made up so many reasons in advance, but he couldn't use any of them?

"Follow me." Instructor Lin turned around gracefully.

Gu Ting followed him through the corridors in the mansion, through the big and small competition venues, and heard the sound of someone wailing. The crying voice was probably the child Huo Jie, howling like a wolf... Is it Wei Lie?

I don't know how long I walked, I arrived at a room, went into the hall, turned on the mechanism, and there was a long passage down.

Instructor Lin rang the bell on the wall to remind the guards below, and said to Gu Ting: "The people are right below, tied up firmly, safe, you can do what you want."

Gu Ting cupped his hands: "If Coach Lin doesn't worry about me, just go and get busy."

Instructor Lin was really a little busy, he waved his hand and left, and the agency didn't care about it, thinking about the safety of the palace.

Gu Ting went down the steps step by step, and soon came to a small room.From the steps to the small room, there are nodding lamps on the walls on both sides. Two guards are watching here. Seeing him coming, they pushed open the door to the inside.

Going further inside, Gu Ting was alone. When he reached the end, he saw a closed prison door and Gan Siniang who was locked inside.

The room was underground, and the smell was not very pleasant, and it was a bit damp, and there was no smell of blood. Gan Siniang didn't seem to have any injuries on her body, and her clothes didn't look particularly messy. She had never been abused or severely tortured.

But she doesn't seem to match her physical health. Her eyes are squinted, she doesn't know whether she is injured or sensitive, her eyes are empty, and she is still very decadent. She looks like she is sitting against the wall... as if she will be in the next moment. collapse.

how so?Wu Xing Wu Huan obviously didn't suffer much torture, how could he be so loveless?Gu Ting thought for a while, and it can only be attributed to the means of the Zhenbei Palace's confession, which is too powerful.

"It's finally here..."

Gan Siniang's voice was rough and slightly hoarse, and there was no more Yingyuyan's voice from the top card of the red silk building.

Gu Ting was a little puzzled: "Did no one ask you?"

Gan Siniang smiled, grim and weird, yes, I asked her at first, and when she didn't cooperate, I left her alone. No one came to see her, so I locked her in a dark room with no lights on. If you don't order one for her, God knows she will go crazy!

But she wouldn't tell Gu Ting this, she just licked her lips which were no longer red and soft: "Guess"

Before Gu Ting could answer, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I recognize you, you were in the room upstairs at that time, you are——no, you are not from You Dachun!"

Seeing that the other party was interested and seemed to have a desire to chat, Gu Ting squinted his eyes and shut up.

Gan Siniang was a little anxious, her eyes were even a little crazy: "What's your name?"

Gu Sui imitated her appearance just now, and said with a smile, "Guess?"

Gan Siniang was encouraged, her eyes trembled even more, and she was even more excited: "This is Jiuyuan City, and You Dachun is an outsider. He came here with precautions. It is impossible to trust others casually. If you trust you, it must be you." Gave him benefits... what benefits? What benefits are so powerful that you can make You Dachun believe in you, and drive others away, leaving you in the room?"

Gu Ting folded his sleeves and didn't speak.

Gan Siniang squinted her eyes: "I see, you sold him the Red Silk Mansion! Right? The corners of your mouth moved, so that's the answer! But how did you know? We act secretly, and we only moved quietly recently. Even Huo Yan didn’t know about coming to the Red Silk Building, so how could you know? Who told you?”

She really wanted to talk.

Gu Ting had an estimate in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Qing Falcon is dead."

"How is it possible?" Gan Siniang was stunned, and then rushed to the door, her eyes widened, bloodshot inside, "You lied to me, didn't you? How could he die? He won't die, you guys Can't kill him!"

Gu Ting was a little surprised. He originally planned to use this as a breakthrough to see if he could get the news from Gan Siniang's mouth. After all, he only knew about Qing Falcon for the detailed work related to Hongxiao Tower, but right now, Gan Siniang The performance was a bit too intense, and the intense one had to have a kind of comprehension...

"Is he your lover?"

Gan Siniang was stunned, the expression in her eyes was extremely complicated, from remorse to presumptuousness to madness: "Hahaha——I still missed a move!"

Gu paused and understood: "He is your lover."

"The best way to be suspicious is to make a fake look like the real one, and the real one look like a fake one, but since he's dead, there's nothing worth keeping secret. That's right, he's my man..."

Gan Siniang was weeping, and while speaking, she removed the hairpin from her head, took off her large outer robe, and put it on backwards.

She was mourning the blue falcon, the only way she could.

"But you killed him... damn you, all of you!"

Gu Ting originally wanted to cheat some news, but he didn't want to mention Qing Falcon inadvertently, and everything went smoothly unexpectedly: "That's really a pity, he died so badly, and no one can avenge him, and you can't either, you come out Not coming."

"Crash-"

It was the iron shackles on Gan Siniang's wrists that slammed into the prison door: "Kill me, kill me now, or you will be in bad luck right away! Bad luck!"

There is something interesting about this sentence.

Gu Ting thought about it, squinted his eyes and said, "It's you who's locked inside now, not me, aren't you a little too confident?"

"Heh..." Gan Siniang smiled strangely, "You think I can't do anything if I can't get out? Everything is arranged in advance, Huo Yan can't hide, and you and him can't hide, of course."

Gu Ting's heart skipped a beat, sure enough, Beidi had a plan against Huo Yan!

His heart was tight, his face was not leaking, and he was even very serious: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"I can give you a sweet treat."

Gan Siniang approached slightly, her eyes throbbing wildly: "Do you know what hurt Huo Yan the most six years ago?"

Of course Gu Ting knew: "The battle in Flame Valley."

He lost too many family members and brothers who fought together in that battle.

"Also," Gan Siniang's voice was low and cold, like a snake spitting out a letter, "There is one more thing, his uncle's belongings, lost there, an object that Huo Yan once regarded as his life, Huo Yan has always wanted to get it back , if Chihao uses this object to lure him, do you think Huo Yan will chase him?"

Gu Ting suddenly shouted: "What is it? What is this object!"

Gan Siniang laughed softly: "You're so smart, guess it yourself."

She no longer talks to Gu Ting, no matter how lonely, lonely, or uncomfortable, she doesn't want to talk anymore.She went back to where she had been sitting, and sat against the wall, looking at the candlelight on the wall.A candlelight, obviously so dark, but now it is so yearning.

This is not a place for people to stay, and this is not what people should do.

If there is a next life, I hope I will never be a woman again, and I will not work carefully.
