King Zhenbei has a favorite

Chapter 36 What kind of monster is this!

Facing the gate of Zhenbei Palace, Gu Ting felt a little guilty.

The wind stopped, the snow stopped, and the sky seemed to be slightly sunny, but his mood was not sunny at all.The enemy's siege is temporarily over, and it is said that he must receive the Zhenbei Wang family within two hours, and he does not have much time.

He is not afraid of flirting with Huo Yan, at worst, it will break up, anyway, he doesn't owe him anything, all his previous actions were just to help repay the favor, and he has no regrets or regrets in his heart.But it's different when the door is opened. There are children and elders inside.

Children are easy to coax, but they are also the most difficult to coax. It is the time when they are sensitive and stand on the sidelines. If they do not cope well, they may hit the weak point and become a growing scar. He really does not have much experience in dealing with children.The elders have clear eyes and clear hearts, and they have insight into the world and human feelings. How can the princess not be transparent at this age and support the palace alone for so many years?He is that shallow plate in front of others, and after seeing it to the end, he can't even make up nonsense.

How to do it?To go in or not to go in?Gu Ting was a little worried.

Seeing him not moving for a long time, Huo Yue thought he was nervous, smiled, and took a step sideways to lead: "Come in."

The little girl is generous, smart, and able to take care of things, but she is also shy at this age. She is willing to show trust in front of a stranger like him, probably because of her protection just now...

Gu Ting's heart is a little soft, what a cute little girl.

Looking at the little girl's side, the old housekeeper also greeted her, and saluted with a smile. Behind him, the gate of the palace opened with a "squeak".

"Well, let's go."

Gu Ting regained his composure and followed the two inside.

The screen wall carved with dragons, the light blue stone paved corridor, the light and shadow in front of the porch intertwined, Gu Ting's eyebrows and eyes became more and more firm.I don't know how to make up nonsense to deal with it, just show the truest self, no matter good or bad, sincerity is the most touching thing.

The mansion is so quiet, there must not be many people...not many?

Gu Ting looked at the crowd of people in the yard, his jaw almost dropped.

Turning around the screen wall, he saw a group of servants in different poses, smiling with teacups and handkerchiefs, ready to shoot with bows and arrows, and a kind-looking old lady with a round face standing in the front , was smiling at him, and on the wall there was a middle-aged man with a flagon in his left hand drinking and throwing darts in his right. He was quite uninhibited.

Gu Ting twitched the corner of his mouth, and he said, how could it be possible to close the door so reassuringly, with so many people watching together, the little girl would not be easily bullied.

As soon as they saw him, everyone seemed to be shut down suddenly. The servants with bows and arrows put away their weapons and retreated as if nothing had happened. Jumping down, turning a corner, the dirty, angry child was carried away with his mouth covered...

Hey, is there a child here?

The very kind, round-faced old nanny came forward: "My lord, you are polite. I am Nanny Gui, and the princess is welcome."

Gu Ting froze slightly, Grand Concubine... Did you know so soon?Also ask him to come over?But since I came this trip, some things are unavoidable, and I have to face them sooner or later.He straightened his sleeves and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Madam, for letting me know."

Nanny Gui led the way, Huo Yue did not leave, and the three of them walked to the main courtyard together.

The Zhenbei Palace is very large and spacious. The windows are bright and clean along the way, the atmosphere is solemn, everything is well-organized, but there is no glitz, there is not much gold and silver, and there are no gem bonsai. Compared with decorations, there are more weapons here. Martial arts school field, with the unique solemnity and firmness of soldiers, here... is the place where Huo Yan grew up.

"That's my brother's yard." Huo Yue pointed in the direction Gu Ting was looking at.

Gu Ting didn't know why, but for no reason, his eyes stopped on this courtyard for a long time, so... it was Huo Yan's residence?Red wall tiles, rotten plum branches, and if you read the tree right outside the wall, there are peaches, pears and apricots. When the flowers bloom and bear fruit, the courtyard will be full of floral and fruity fragrances, sweet and lingering. Huo Yan likes this tune?

Only at this time did the huge palace reveal a slight softness.

"There is a pomegranate plant in my elder brother's yard, and the fruit it produces is sweet and sweet. My elder brother is not at home, and my younger brother always picks it secretly and eats it. At that time, I was young and naive. Every time I gnawed even the skin, and finally made myself cry. ..."

Huo Yue whispered small trifles, a pair of pear dimples appeared on her lips, which was very cute.

"Then there are so many sweet trees in your brother's yard, do you like sweets?"

"Did you guess it? My brother really likes sweets. Every time I'm in the house, Nanny Gui doesn't make enough dim sum. Remember to prepare more sugar when buying at home. The cook also remembers to make sweet and sour fish the next day!"

Gu Ting couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud with the little girl.

Just talking casually like this, the panic in his eyes and the tension in his heart slowly subsided. When he walked to the main courtyard, he was able to calm down completely.

With a smile on the corner of Gui Nanny's lips, she cooperated with the two of them all the way, and opened the curtain by herself: "By the way, Mrs. Gu is here!"

Gu Ting's back trembled slightly, and he stepped towards the threshold, obediently seeing you on Sunday——

"Junior Gu Ting, I have seen the Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess looks to be in her 60s, her silver hair is neatly combed, the corners of her eyes are wrinkled, but her eyes are not cloudy. She looks hale and hearty, with long eyebrows and plump cheeks, a straight nose and thin lips. She must have been a beauty when she was young.

Gu Ting took a second look, seeing that the Grand Concubine did not look like a person with a short lifespan, her complexion was not good, and she was still a little tired after light makeup... After smelling the smell of medicine in the room, she already knew in her heart that the Grand Concubine It must be sick.

When he was watching carefully, Lin Shi was also looking at him.Unlike young people, who are not yet at their prime, this child is a bit thin, and his face still has the thin and soft flesh that is unique to the growing period. It is the best age for a person, full of vigor, radiance, and rare cleanliness Clear, with a special aura and transparency, it is very different from young people of this age, no wonder the grandson will take a fancy to it.

"Get up, get up!" Lin's voice was loving and enthusiastic, "Thank you for protecting Sister Yue! I know that the girl I raised has a strong temper and is not afraid of trouble when she is idle, but after all, her mind is not yet developed, and she is not ready to deal with others. Practice again—”

While talking, Lin looked at her granddaughter: "Did you thank her?"

Then Huo Yue blushed slightly, and bowed to Gu Ting upright: "Thank you Mr. Gu for helping me."

Mrs. Lin clicked her tongue softly: "Brother Ting and your brother have a good relationship, the relationship is extraordinary, there is no need for such a relationship, you can call him Brother Ting."

The little girl was quite obedient, and immediately changed her words: "Thank you Brother Ting."

Gu Ting's ears immediately turned red: "No, no, it's nothing..."

Stop buddy?Can you call me stop brother?

At this moment, he was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know how to persuade the princess not to accept the fact so quickly. What about the incense in the manly family when the grandson is well?Or immediately explain sternly that we are not, we really don't!

But he couldn't say anything to the loving eyes of Shangtai Wangfei.The old man is still sick, so it is better to disturb him less.

As if seeing his embarrassment, Lin sighed lightly: "Jiuyuan City is used to this way. There are all kinds of wars and turmoil, and they come in different ways. This time, you will be implicated." She braced herself and snorted coldly, "You Don't worry, it's nothing more than a trivial matter, isn't it just to attack the city, let them attack! My Zhenbei Palace can stop it! Is it true that Brother Yan is a vegetarian?"

Gu Ting also saw that the Grand Concubine was obviously lacking in mental strength, she was so tired and difficult, she had to force herself to stand up, to protect the juniors...

He felt a little distressed, his expression softened, and his voice became gentle: "If the princess can be trusted, how about leaving this matter to the younger generation to mediate?"

Lin was a little surprised: "You..."

Gu Ting put his hand in his sleeve, raised his eyebrows and smiled, like the sun was shining after the snow: "Stop, there is a plan."

Seeing that the princess was stunned, he added: "Although Zing is not good at force, he can't defeat the enemy in person, but he can delay the time, so that my city guards have time to recuperate, boost morale, and rest until the prince's reinforcements." Come!"

Mrs. Lin smiled: "Before the big battle, the top and bottom of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion should really work together and work together, well, I will leave this matter to you!" She also immediately turned her head and told Nanny Gui, "Where is Teacher Lin? Tell him, you don't need to watch my old lady in the mansion anymore, and support Gu Ting with all your strength!"

Gu Ting didn't know who this coach Lin was, but he must have helped, so he responded immediately: "This junior will definitely live up to his trust!"

Lin closed her eyes and sighed: "Young people are full of vigor, dare to think and fight, they are better than my half-destroyed old woman...Don't worry, no matter what the result is, if you dare to stand out, I will take care of you." The blessing of the Northern Palace."

Nanny Gui looked at the princess who was about to be unable to sit still, her eyes were a little red: "Look, master, the family members are very capable, so don't carry it on your shoulders, go and rest for a while."

Lin looked at Gu Ting.

Gu Ting smiled: "You just rest assured, if the junior really can't bear it, he will come to invite you out of the mountain. It's just a few troublesome monkeys, how can they escape your palm?"

Lin was happy: "Okay, let you toss around, my wife will rest for a while." She helped Nanny Gui's hand to stand up, and did not forget to tell, "This child is good-looking, I like it, ah Gui, let's fight!" In the front, nervousness is nervous, and everyone has to eat, right, you can't hide your skills with your skills."

Nanny Gui smiled: "Don't worry, this servant will go to the kitchen to make something later for Mr. Gu to taste."

Seeing that Lin didn't insist anymore and really went to rest, Nanny Gui quietly wiped away her tears.Others don't know, but she knows best as a personal servant, the Grand Concubine can't stand it anymore.If it is normal, the princess is always in good health, but she has been caught in the wind and cold for the past few days... No one knows better than her how tired the master is and how he is struggling.

She walked up to Gu Ting and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

She performed this ceremony solidly, with infinite gratitude and infinite respect.

Huo Yue also quietly shed tears, followed by the same salute: "If you have any needs, please mention them all."

Most of the time, she hated that she was not a man and had no talent for martial arts, otherwise at this age, she would have been able to help.

Huo Jie rushed in like a small cannonball, and without stopping, he hit Gu Ting's thigh directly. He simply hugged him tightly and raised his head: "Yes! If you need me to go to the battlefield, you must take it with you!"

Gu Ting took a look, it was the little boy who was dragged down by the door just now, compared to the dirty look just now, he should have cleaned his face and changed his clothes: "This is?"

Huo Yue was a little embarrassed, and stared at his younger brother to warn him to understand the rules: "This is my younger brother, Huo Jie."

It turned out to be Huo Yan's younger brother...

Gu Ting looked down at the child who was hugging his thigh. The child had round eyes, a straight nose, and a firm face. There was a shadow of Huo Yan between his brows. The two brothers really looked alike.

"Okay," he patted the child's round head, "I'll let you listen to this trick."

In the bright light, there are footsteps.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a wild and unrestrained temperament came over from sitting on the wall just now, with a hidden weapon in one hand and a flagon in the other: "You can tell me your plan as much as you want."

Nanny Gui introduced Gu Ting: "This is the coach of the mansion, Lin Fang, the prince and the four great generals have the skills of coach Lin."

It turned out that he was the instructor that the princess had just mentioned.Gu Ting didn't have any qualms, and said so and so of his plan.

Coach Lin's eyes lit up: "Not bad, good plan!" He looked Gu Ting up and down, "Do you want to learn from me for two years?"

Gu Ting: ...

ah?Are you talking about war?How did you become a student?

Teacher Lin was amused, and laughed twice: "Haha, I'm still a child! Wait, I'll do it for you in a while!"

……

Time passed little by little.

At two hours, when the enemy generals were about to beat drums and clamor again, a message was released, saying that the Zhenbei Palace had agreed to be a guest.

The cavalry team outside the city gate was overjoyed, good!The plan will come true, let's see how Huo Yan dies this time!

As a result, after waiting for a long time, more than half an hour passed, and there was still no one. Someone couldn't hold back, and asked the guards on the tower loudly: "What's the matter? Didn't the Zhenbei Palace agree? Don't say nothing, and lie to us Bar!"

The defenders of the city tower got the news early, and they replied in a calm manner: "What's the hurry? When you go to someone's house as a guest, you should always follow the etiquette, not to mention bathing, changing clothes and burning incense. How about you?"

The enemy soldier was so overwhelmed that he had nothing to say, and shook his sleeves: "Okay, grandpas just wait! Even if you want to take a flower bath and put on makeup, how long can it last? You can't be slower than a bride who is about to get on a sedan chair." Do you want me to write a reminder poem for you!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The enemy cavalry laughed together.

This kind of ridicule and insult to the women of the Zhenbei Palace, the city defenders should have been angry and embarrassed, but they laughed so loudly, and the others still didn't speak, it was a bit weird...

The laughing cavalrymen were a little embarrassed, and snorted coldly in their hearts: "What are you doing, I will kill you when you turn around, let's see if you pretend again!"

Another half hour passed.

The middle-aged man in charge of calling the battle in the enemy team looked at the sky, was a little impatient, and signaled with a wink, and immediately a small soldier went up to call the battle: "What's the matter? Are you coming or not! If we don't come, we will attack the city!"

The old god of the city defenders is here: "Why is it so urgent? I'm coming here in a car right away. With this little patience, do you still want to invite others as guests? That's fine. Since we can't wait, let's fight."

The old soldier who spoke was a jerk. He got the words from Instructor Fang, and his words were steady, slow and a little low-key, and his bow posture was lazy, which was very irritating.

He wanted to fight, but the enemy didn't want to fight anymore, so he held back angrily: "We'll wait!"

The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense and chilling. After going through many hardships and dangers here, Meng Zhen, who finally slipped in quietly, was in a hurry. Was it too late again?Is the Zhenbei Palace ready to compromise?No, I have to find Gu Ting for help quickly!

He tugged his personal guard Zheng Shishi, and pointed firmly in one direction: "Over there!"

I don't know why, but he just trusts Gu Ting, Gu Ting is very smart, he will definitely find a way to get over him!

Originally, he ran towards Gu Ting's small courtyard without stopping, but when he walked halfway, when he passed the palace, Meng Zhen suddenly saw a fragrant car and the people sitting in it.

Xiangche is very flamboyant, as luxurious as you want, as blinding as you want, gold, silver, jade, pearls, no matter what you put on it, it just looks expensive, and the golden bell sachet is the same At least, even the horses driving the carriages are decorated, and the clothes are also rich in gold, silver and jade, and the hair of ordinary girls is not as precious as it.The four pillars of the carriage have furry sides, either ermine or fox fur. Hollow!Whether the person sitting in the car is cold or hot, do they just want to show off!

The key is that the people inside look familiar no matter how they look, isn't that the one he was looking for...

Meng Zhen looked a little dazed: "Gu, Gu Ting?"

Gu Ting was also surprised to see him, didn't he leave long ago?Why is it here?

"Your brother is willing to let you back?" Still at this time?

Mention of elder brother, Meng Zhen's big eyes became foggy.

Gu Ting immediately frowned: "You came here behind your back."

Meng Zhen pursed her lips: "I'm worried about you..."

Gu Ting frowned even tighter: "Then you don't worry about your death, your brother killed me?"

Meng Zhen waved his hand immediately: "No, no, my brother won't be so unreasonable!"

That's because I didn't know enough about your brother, only talking about it that night, seeing Meng Ce's expression when he mentioned Meng Zhen, Gu Ting knew that this younger brother was Meng Ce's life, and if something happened, Meng Ce would go crazy.

Gu Ting was really a little angry, angry that Meng Zhen didn't take care of himself, but he didn't dare to blame too much, this porcelain doll was in poor health, and would vomit blood every now and then, what could he do with the friends he made?Don't get used to going down.

"Be good, don't do this next time, you know? I will deal with any difficulties carefully, and nothing will happen."

Meng Zhen is not stupid, seeing this situation, he knows what's going on: "It is said that the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion agreed to be a guest...you are the one who agreed?" Thinking of this, he became even more anxious, "Can't go! They are from Beidi, from the cloud. The Zhang family garrison at Ai Kou borrowed the way, why invite guests, they are wolf ambitions, if you go, you will definitely die!"

"People from Beidi? The Zhang family's resident?"

Gu Ting was worried that he didn't know where the other party came from, so his little friend gave him the information. That's great, he turned around and asked Lin Fang: "This family...is the teacher familiar?"

Don't be too familiar with Lin Fang.Not to mention him, anyone who comes out of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion will know what the grievances and grievances between the two families are all about, where they started, including past details and various battle cases, and it's easy to popularize science: "It's like this..."

Gu Ting Gu Ting's eyes became brighter the more he listened, so it turned out that... today's matter went more smoothly!

"You just watch from the side obediently, don't move forward and don't be impulsive, you know?" He told Meng Zhen, "I'll come back when I'm done. There will never be any danger."

Meng Zhen nodded obediently, with bright eyes: "Yes!"

As long as Gu Ting is fine, he can rest assured!

At this point, the people outside are anxious, and the people inside are stupid.

Without it, just because the fragrant car moves, the fragrant wind floats and hides, and the street is a wonderful scene.I saw the golden bell swaying, the fragrant wind blowing, everywhere felt like a spring breeze, Qian's voice was beautiful, even the sound of horseshoes was particularly crisp, and could be heard from far away.

The enemy troops outside the city are all excited, they are coming!finally come!

When the surrounding area is particularly quiet, even the slightest sound is obvious.

The clacking of horseshoes approached slowly, getting closer, getting closer...it stopped.There was the sound of something wooden falling to the ground. It was the servant getting off the horse and putting down the footstool, and then someone got out of the cart.

The boots should be leather, with thick soles, and the sound of landing is a bit heavy, which is very special.Du-du-du is a bit like the sound of knocking on the door. It is the sound of climbing a tower, a little slow, but no one dares to rush.

Finally, under the twilight of the sky, the enemy cavalry saw someone appearing on the tower.

This man is tall and tall, with a thin waist, and he is holding a gold-plated filigree butterfly pattern Haidian hand stove in his left hand. His fingers are slender and white, moist and shiny. He is wearing a big red cloak. The collar looks like the best Firefox fur, which is soft and bright. A face is even more beautiful, with sculpted eyebrows and bright eyes, high nose and red lips, handsome and evil, chic and romantic.

Seeing people looking over, he took out a fan out of nowhere and opened it with a swipe.The fan is a feather fan, white, fluffy and beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is still a fan, and it still looks cold in this weather.

The enemy army under the city watched for a while and was stunned.

This man... is a bit good-looking, but no matter how good-looking, no matter how outrageous his temperament, isn't he still a man?It's a man!

Gu Ting was very satisfied with his appearance, he covered his face with a furry fan, and raised the corners of his eyes: "Sorry, the preparation time is a little longer, I kept everyone waiting."

Enemy under the city: ...

Why is this a little longer?Slow down, don't we have to wait until the end of time!

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Where are you, which green onion, what I want is the family of Zhenbei Palace!"

This sounded very fierce, but unfortunately because of the stuttering in the middle, the momentum was greatly reduced, and it was much weaker. There was no way, the opponent's operation was too aggressive, and they were really blinded by the flash.

Gu Ting slowly waved his fan, arrogant and picky: "Speaking of this, I'm going to be unhappy. You invited the family members of the Zhenbei Palace to be guests with a lot of fanfare, invited the Queen Mother, invited the brothers and sisters in the mansion, and only missed me. What do you mean? Now that I took the initiative to come, you still have the face to ask me who I am?"

He randomly ordered a soldier, and raised his chin: "You, tell them who I am."

This little soldier has never left his post at the top of the city. He doesn't know what Gu Ting's plan is, but he knows that Gu Ting has been stirring up wind and rain in Jiuyuan City recently, so he subconsciously replied: "My lord, my lord." favorite?"

Gu Ting's expression was even more arrogant, and his gaze towards the city was even more domineering: "Have you heard everything?"
