King Zhenbei has a favorite

Chapter 46

It was getting late, and logically this time is not suitable to visit the Empress Dowager, but Gu Ting couldn't care less.

Lin was not picky, when she heard that Gu Ting was here, she immediately announced: "Why are you here at this time, you are tired all day and don't know how to rest first?"

Gu Ting took the tea cup handed over by Nanny Gui, and drank it up in one gulp. Nanny Gui was so distressed that she poured another cup for him.

After drinking three cups in a row, Gu Ting let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said no more, and bowed to the princess: "There is something that may be a little cruel, but this junior must tell you."

His expression was too serious, Lin put down the teacup in his hand and nodded, "Say it."

"Jiuyuan City is currently experiencing a disaster..." Gu Ting told her carefully about the infection from the corpse poison.

Lin's face changed drastically: "An epidemic? It turned out to be an epidemic?"

Gu Ting shook his head: "It's not an epidemic, but it's almost the same as an epidemic. Now Meng Zhen and the old doctors are developing a solution. When it will have a good result, I don't know yet, but poisoning is difficult without an antidote. As long as there is an antidote, it will disappear immediately, which is actually easier to cure than the epidemic.”

Lin was very surprised. It was obvious that the development of the incident was beyond her expectation, and she was caught off guard, but she didn't panic or make a fuss. She just closed her eyes and let out a long sigh: "It's a very sad year."

The hall was very quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a little sad.

Gu paused, and then said again: "I don't know if Jiuyuan City has similar experiences in previous years, but no matter what, you must know more about this kind of thing than the younger generation. After all, the younger generation lacks experience and doesn't think so comprehensively, and the younger generation is worried. Huo Yan..."

Lin was startled: "Are you going to find him?"

Gu Ting nodded slowly.

Lin looked straight at him, and said with a serious tone: "Do you know that if Beidi attacks with this poison, Brother Yan will be the first to attack? Jiuyuan is dangerous. The situation there must be worse than in the city. Even he himself There may be no escape, are you really going?"

Gu Ting looked firmly: "Yes. If he didn't come back, there must have been an accident. The two sides have not communicated for the past two days. He also cut off the middle route. Jiuyuan City should follow the example of the city and close the city immediately. People, don't go outside to spread the infection. Don’t be infected by people outside, but there must always be someone in the middle to contact, and it’s not a good thing to have no news.”

"This junior is willing to bring the news to the lord. If he already knows it, it's the best. If he doesn't know, this junior can tell him about the source of the corpse poison and how to avoid it..." As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face. , looking from Nanny Gui to Princess Taiwang, "You can't stop me."

Lin waved her hand and told Nanny Gui, who had already picked up the soft exercise, to step back, with a helpless expression: "You are obviously not old, why are you so thoughtful?"

Gu Ting watched as Nanny Gui stopped moving, and his eyes lowered slightly: "This junior thought that he was not strong enough, and his wits were mediocre, so he couldn't do much for the prince. If he could take good care of the palace for him, take good care of you and your younger siblings." , is excellent, but right now, this can only be the ambition of this junior, this junior... can't do it at all. After this junior leaves, please pay attention to safety and protection, and seal off the palace, no one can do it at will In and out, your orders and information are assigned to different people, and you yourself should not step out of the house, as well as Huo Yue and Huo Jie, stay in your own yard from now on, don’t come out, and don’t meet people easily ..."

Lin's hands were lightly placed on the back of the chair, and she closed her eyes: "Okay, I know everything, don't worry, since I know what happened, I will be cautious and careful, and in the next time, as long as the antidote is gone for a day After researching it, even I myself will never see Sister Yue and Brother Hsu again."

"In this way, the younger generation can rest assured."

After talking for a while and reminding each other for a long time, Gu Ting left the palace and returned to his small courtyard.

The winter in Jiuyuan is too cold, even worse at night. Besides, he was tired all day today, so he really didn't dare to drive at night for fear that he would fall asleep halfway to death.

After a dark and sweet night, Gu Ting woke up early the next day, left a letter to Meng Zhen and left, taking Wu Feng with him.

In fact, he didn't even want to bring Wu Feng with him. After all, corpse poison is too scary. Anyone's life is life. Don't throw it away if you can, but he knows best about his long-term follower, and it is impossible to get rid of it no matter what. It's not that I haven't tried it in my previous life, and I haven't succeeded once... I had to take it with me.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the road well, and it doesn't matter if you haven't been to the border. In short, just go north all the way.

Pushing the horse all the way, I don't know how long it has passed, Gu Ting can't count the time, and he can't count, he only knows that his hands and feet have no feeling, and he doesn't even feel pain anymore.

Finally, when the sky was dark in the afternoon, Wubao was seen from afar.But I saw it, I saw it, the high gate wall was erected, he couldn't get in at all, the guards were extremely indifferent, asked a few words and found that there was no token and no order, he just refused to let him go according to the rules, Gu Ting said nothing was useless .

Gu Ting was inevitably paranoid and refused to let him in. Could it be that the poison of the corpse had already spread?He was uneasy, and when he was wondering what to do, he saw You Dachun from afar.

Maybe...he can think of a way to get this person to help?

Gu Ting narrowed his eyes slowly, thinking how to use You Dachun to get in, when You Dachun himself came over.

"Okay, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to cure you, so you dare to place an order and run in front of me?"

The hatred on the expression and the sternness in the eyes are fully revealed.

Gu Ting didn't understand: "Master You is this?"

"Pretend, you still pretend!" You Dachun slammed the whip fiercely in the air, "Dare you lie to me like that, and you never thought of dying at my hands?"

It was only then that Gu Ting remembered the matter of defending the city before, and realized later that he had overturned the car.

But when he got into You Dachun's carriage, he didn't think about how stable it would be. He could be tricked a lot, but now he can't. The loss is nothing more than not being able to use it cunningly in the future. What does it matter?I didn't want to be friends.

It just so happened that I didn't have to worry about acting.

Gu Ting straightened his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then come and kill me."

"Hey, don't play tricks and delay time? Don't expect your prince to save you?" You Dachun laughed, "It's true, Huo is now shrinking in the room like a turtle grandson, there must be someone Other little lovers messing around, have already forgotten about you!"

Gu Ting felt a pain in his heart, avoiding the house was the problem, Huo Yan might really have had an accident!

Seeing the change in his face, You Dachun felt even more proud, the old god was holding his arms, and raised his chin: "Go, kill him for me."

His subordinates rushed over immediately.

But it is impossible for the guard to open the door. His task is to guard the door. Without a military order, he cannot open it at any time. He will not open it for Gu Ting, and he will not open it for You Dachun either.You Dachun didn't know the rules like Gu Ting, squinted his eyes and made a gesture, and his subordinates opened the door. The young guard was very angry, and immediately set off a signal flare.

Liu Dachun's men surrounded Gu Ting, and Wu Feng stood in front of Gu Ting, facing everyone.

The bleak north wind blows, blowing people's hearts from the inside out. In this cold wind, people are like little ants, and nothing works. It's like Gu Ting's master and servant facing You Dachun. All the subordinates are like a car with the arms of a mantis, and others can completely crush them just by the number of people.

You Dachun was even happier: "Hahaha——I said the surname is Gu, you are getting worse and worse, pointing at a little long follower to defeat my elite guard? Forget it, I am not afraid of tiredness, your master and servant Today I will accept my little life together!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and chilling.

Gu Ting felt a chill in his heart.You Dachun is not very smart, as long as there is a chance, he can coax him, but now You Dachun has no trust in him, it is useless to say anything, now that the door is open, he can go in, but You Dachun had to be tough, Wu Feng might not be able to resist alone.

Wu Feng has already started fighting with the opponent. Unfortunately, the opponent has too many people and can bully the whole team at any time. However, he is concerned about his master and cannot rush forward. He can only stick to the bottom line. Hurriedly returning to help, the fight was overwhelmed, and it was very embarrassing.

At the most difficult time, there was a sound of arrows passing through the air suddenly, and a sharp arrow shot over, and it was directly nailed to the scimitar of the opponent who was approaching Gu Ting. Partial.

Gu Ting watched all this happen, watching the scimitar coming straight at him, and suddenly turned hard because of the arrow shot from the oblique stab, turning in circles, and heading straight for You Dachun, brushing It brushed against his neck—the blood spurted out, and the bundle of hair was torn apart, swaying heavily in the wind!

You Dachun is not dead, the bleeding on the neck is bleeding, it is not fatal, but the visual effect at this moment is as if he died once!

Not to mention Gu Ting, everyone stopped and held their breath.

In the extreme silence, the sound of Huo Yan's military boots stomping on the ground was particularly refreshing: "Sorry, I haven't fought for a few days, so I can't hold back for a while."

With a nonchalant apology, he walked forward slowly, slashed in front of Gu Ting, and faced You Dachun: "If Lord You lacks a good guard, you can send someone to ask me to teach you."

The implication is that I can stop it, but your guards are too bad.

Gu Ting didn't have the time to analyze how much Ming Dynasty's insinuation was hidden in these calm words, he was stunned when he heard Huo Yan's voice.Counting it, it wasn't long before we parted, less than a month, but everything seemed strange, the backs were strange, and the voice was also strange.

You Dachun clutched his neck and hissed, the Huo did it on purpose!It must be on purpose!How could I be a fool to carefully select my confidants to train you, and it turned out to be your man to spy on me?Think beautiful!

He is used to being domineering in the capital, and he has restrained himself by coming here. He doesn't feel that he is going too far. He smiled and said, "My lord is really not good at handling things. I kindly helped you clean up the waste. You didn't even say thank you. Why are you still covering up? Isn’t the Zhenbei Army’s iron law like a mountain, no one is allowed to violate it?”

Huo Yan thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that Master You is going to kill himself." He backed away, and solemnly stretched out his hand, "Please——"

You Dachun jumped: "I didn't intend to commit suicide!"

Thinking about it wrong: "I am not a waste!"

Huo Yan glanced at him, looking at the guards behind him, his eyes were full of pity: "Reincarnate well in the next life, if you join the martial arts, you can join the Zhenbei Army."

You Dachun was furious: "I didn't intend to kill them either!"

This scene can be said to be quite funny, but Gu Ting looked very calm and didn't react. Wu Feng almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Now he finally understands why the prince and the master always have an inexplicable tacit understanding. In the direction of the person, the two are not even close to each other!

But when did the master get on good terms with the prince?Wu Feng looked at his young master and then King Zhenbei. Until now, he still couldn't find the beginning, but he obviously followed his master all the time and never left!

You Dachun couldn't take it anymore, pointed his finger at Gu Ting's nose: "I want to kill him! Do you know now, are you clear?"

Huo Yan narrowed his eyes, no longer casually and slowly, and turned out the long sword in his palm, and his whole posture changed immediately: "This king thinks that everyone understands a truth."

You Dachun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he subconsciously asked, "What's the point?"

Huo Yan looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person: "My Huo Yan's people, who dare to face the sword, die!"

He didn't say hello at all, he jumped forward, left and right twice, the sword light flashed past, and all the guards beside You Dachun fell to the ground, and with another change of move, the sword light went straight to You Dachun's throat!

You Dachun was terrified, he called people to come forward, and fled backwards while rolling and crawling.

This is the second time Gu Ting has watched Huo Yan fight, it is very fierce, very fierce, much more ruthless than the time he fought with Meng Ce.The moves are wide open and close, straight forward and straight, every movement is a fatal move, without any meaning of four or two, it is hard, it is strong, one force will drop ten times!

Gu Ting was a little surprised, but felt right, this is Huo Yan.From this fight, he seems to be able to see how Huo Yan usually trains and fights against the enemy. He is extremely brave and goes straight forward with all the momentum and strength in his body. throw in the towel!

Unlike when he was playing tricks, Huo Yan at this time is not calm and calm. His pupils reflect the enemy's position, and his eyes are precisely locked on the opponent's vital points. His eyes are fierce and serious. But the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are handsome and good-looking.This man is exuding masculinity unconsciously, that kind of masculinity and masculinity that only men have, it is very charming and terrible.

But apart from these charms, Gu Ting noticed that Huo Yan accidentally exposed his wrist, which was wrapped with a thick bandage.

His beating movements were not affected at all, so it wasn't an injury, and it didn't hurt too much. It was obvious what was covered under the bandage.

Gu Ting's heart was a little sour.

So the reason why I didn't come back, it really is this.

Liu Dachun was terrified, and tremblingly put down the knife in his hand: "I put it down, put it down, my mother really put it down, don't hit me anymore!"

Huo Yan still accidentally rubbed him with the tip of his sword, and also apologized morally without sincerity: "Sorry, I haven't fought for a few days, so I can't hold back."

You Dachun hated it, and pointed at Gu Ting: "Do you know what he did just now? You still protect him! Do you know that you will be unlucky in the future because of his rudeness? Who gave him the guts!"

When he said the last sentence, he stared at Gu Ting fiercely.

Huo Yan stood up again, blocking his sight, and pressed his fingers back one by one, with cruel strength and cruel voice: "I gave it to you, do you have an opinion?"

You Dachun's hand hurts so much that it doesn't look like his own, but no matter how he dares to do it, he doesn't dare to do it in front of Huo Yan, Huo Yan really dares to kill.

"You, you wait for me!"

He said a harsh word to Gu Ting, and then led the people away.

Finally there were no outsiders at the scene, Gu Ting looked at Huo Yan, Huo Yan looked at him, fell silent for a moment, and then said in unison: "You..."

Gu Ting pursed his lips slightly, and took a step forward: "You—"

Seeing a cat, Huo Yan quickly backed away, even farther away: "Don't come here!"

Gu Ting: ...

After a short reaction, he knew what Huo Yan was worried about, and couldn't help laughing: "Corpse poison can only be transmitted from the dead to the living, and it is not contagious when carried by the living."

Huo Yan's eyes paused slightly: "Is it not contagious?"

Gu Ting nodded: "Meng Zhen and a group of old doctors researched it, saying..."

He didn't finish his sentence, because Huo Yan had already strode forward and hugged him fiercely.

"I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue." Huo Yan's voice was a little low and a little shy.

This hug was too powerful, and the voice buried too much sadness, which made Gu Ting's eyes a little hot.He rested his chin on Huo Yan's shoulder, and looked up to see the sky at the border, which was as vast as Jiuyuan City, but higher and thicker, just like this man's embrace.

"I didn't wait for you."

I'm here to see you.

Huo Yan hugged her even tighter: "My fault."

But it seems to be an illusion, because in an instant, the man loosened his tight hands: "Thank you for protecting the palace and Jiuyuan City for me."

The other party backed away too fast, and the distance was a bit subtle, Gu Ting didn't have time to think about it, he just thought it was a hug between brothers without any personal feelings, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Then you just say Thank you is not enough."

The sky is vast and the north wind is bitter, and the people in front of them smile.

Huo Yan suddenly remembered a solitary plum tree in Wubao.The frontier army misses home. I always feel that the station is not very warm, and there is no bright color. I don’t know who came back from vacation and brought a branch of fine plum to insert in the yard. For a year or two, it only grew up and never bloomed. Last year, a branch bloomed. , the soldiers frantically watched, and he also went to see it. The flower is crimson and weak, and it looks vulnerable, but it is extremely stubborn. It blooms against the wind, blooms against the cold, and is even more beautiful against the snow. The beautiful world is overshadowed by it. .

His feelings now are the same as those at that time.

Beidi used Dao Yunzhong's Zhang family to attack Jiuyuan. He already knew the details of the battle and the details of the battle. He could almost memorize the military report. The beauty is unparalleled, but he has never seen it.

But he saw the smile just now.

With just one glance, it seems that this person's flair and chic can be tasted.

In this world, there are such beautiful plums and such good people.

"Then what should I do, how can I thank you?"

Huo Yan didn't realize that he was stuttering, and his voice was too hoarse.

Gu Ting thought for a while, then tilted his head and looked at him with a smile: "Well... I'll tell you when I think about it." He took a step forward, "You—"

Huo Yan stepped back instantly.

Gu Ting narrowed his eyes: "What kind of scourge am I? I didn't tell you that this poison will not infect each other."

He took another step forward, without any special purpose, but the distance between the two of them is too far, it is inconvenient to talk, and the wind here is too strong and too strong, does it feel good to be choked by the wind?

Huo Yan backed away again.

Gu Ting: ...

Didn't you have a lot of guts just now?Dare to reach out to hug, what's the matter now, King Zhenbei is so shy?

Gu Ting felt that the atmosphere was very strange, obviously he was the one who had traveled a long distance and suffered all kinds of grievances, but now the other party was acting like a pissed off daughter-in-law, twitching and awkward...

"I'll take you to my yard."

Huo Yan suddenly turned around and led the way.The posture can't be said to be in a state of embarrassment, it seems to be a little bit of fleeing.

Gu Ting couldn't help raising his eyebrows, what's wrong with this person?For once, he couldn't understand Huo Yan's behavior.

Wu Feng quietly tugged at the clothes of the soldiers accompanying him from behind, rubbing his hands and asking: "Did the prince get injured during the battle? Why do you walk so fast?"

The little soldier glared at him: "You're only lame, and your whole family is lame! Our lord is very well. Killing General Beidi among millions of troops is like picking something out of a pocket, how could he be injured? The lord is fine everywhere, so you don't need to worry about it! "

Wu Feng quietly wiped the saliva off his face. Didn't he just call his brothers and make an appointment to eat meat and drink at night?Why did you change your name when you mentioned the prince?He didn't mean to curse...

On the next road, Wu Feng stared at Huo Yan, and found that he had only been out for a short while, and he would be fine after a while. His posture was very straight, his legs were long and straight, full of strength, and he looked masculine and decent. , cool and handsome.

That was just...why?

Chang Sui took a look at his young master, who seemed to... also didn't know at all.

Gu Ting really didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things, he felt a little strange, he and Huo Yan seemed to have known each other for a long time, but the time they spent together was no more than three days, and it was a little awkward to meet just now, but I don't know why, just a few words , that little embarrassment went with the wind, and the distance became much closer without knowing it.

And Huo Yan, a high-ranking prince, seemed a little cowardly in front of him, as if no matter how much he played around, he would not get angry... He was inexplicably very useful.

He knows that now is a special period, and his mentality should not be smug, and he should not be too happy, but he just can't suppress his mood.

He peeked at Huo Yan.

He found that Huo Yan was looking at him.

got caught?

Gu Teng stopped consciously and wanted to hide, but he found that Huo Yan was so cowardly just now, but now he looks at him openly, and he doesn't hide when he finds out, it's very shameless, if he actively avoids, won't he lose his previous momentum?

Gu Ting didn't hide, and looked back generously, with a half-smile, as if he was judging the other person's appearance.

Not to be outdone, the two of them refused to admit defeat, and the result was... Qi Qi turned his head away.

Turning around, Gu Ting laughed, but I really didn't expect that a person like Huo Yan would have an embarrassing day?

He laughed out loud and didn't hide it. Huo Yan seemed annoyed by the laughter, or just wanted to do it. He reached out, grabbed Gu Ting's, and walked forward while holding it tightly: "Watch the road carefully."

The soldiers and commanders behind him dropped their eyeballs all over the ground, King Zhenbei acted as if nothing had happened, very calmly: "My yard is still in front."

Gu Ting was startled, his laughter dried up, and he struggled slightly to shake off Huo Yan's hand, but the result was conceivable, how could he be able to break away from the strength that other people started to exert when they were five or six years old?

I had no choice but to pretend nothing happened, and while continuing to earn money, I calmly said: "This place is simple and elegant, but it is also comfortable."

Gu Ting couldn't break away from Huo Yan's hand.The other party's palms were slightly hot, and the knuckles were rough. They were not well-maintained hands that were comfortable to touch, but they still made him blush slowly.

Finally couldn't help it, he whispered: "You...let me go."

Huo Yan didn't speak, and didn't listen to Gu Ting, anyway, he just didn't let go.

Gu Ting glared at him: "Let go of me!"

Because of the scruples of people behind him hearing it, even if he wanted to yell, he couldn't yell. He really didn't have the confidence to say a word, and it was more like acting like a baby than an order.

Of course Huo Yan would not let go, not only did not let go, but also pulled even tighter, his face was still calm, expressionless: "You are cold."

Gu Ting: ...

I'm very cold, but I don't want you to hold me like this!He didn't need to look around at all, he could imagine what other people's expressions are like now... a prince, what does he look like in front of people!

Huo Yan seemed careless, but in fact he had been paying attention to his expression, guessing what he was thinking, his face became calmer: "Don't worry, they dare not say anything."

Others dare not say but dare to think!Don't dare to say it now, it doesn't mean you will never dare to say it in the future!

Gu Ting glared at Huo Yan: "Let go!"

Huo Yan still didn't let go, still insisted on three words: "You will be cold."

Gu Ting: ...

A little subtle.

Think about it not long ago, he was occupying the commanding heights, Huo Yan was going to be cowardly, why did the scene turn around in an instant?When was it reversed?

Is this king of Zhenbei wanting face or shameless? !
