The Rebirth of the Bamboo Horse Emperor

After the two of them had a tooth-sweet meal, their mouths and hearts were as sweet as glutinous rice candy, and even the air was full of sweetness.

After Xiaoer tidied up the back room, the two sat facing each other. Jiang Mu suggested, "Want to go out for a stroll?"

"Okay." Gu Jue rolled his eyes.

He has never had much emotional ups and downs, and it is unknown whether he is indifferent by nature or caused by the environment in which he grew up.It's just that when he was in front of Jiang Mu, besides the initial encounter, he could always arouse more emotions.

As Gu Jue said, he got up, picked up the sword and hung it on his waist, only to realize that Jiang Mu didn't bring out the sword.

"Why don't you have a sword?" Gu Jue asked. People like them practice martial arts and fight all the year round, so they usually don't leave their swords.

"You don't need to fight, and you have to carry something heavy." Jiang Mu smiled, "Besides, you are by my side to protect me, so I won't be in danger."

In fact, the most important reason was that he didn't want his grandfather to disturb his time alone, but it's better not to say anything, otherwise Dongxi in Huaixi's hands would listen to him.

Just now when Gu Jue was staying with everyone in the camp, he wanted to ask his great-grandfather Huai Xi what he usually said to him, but after calling for a long time, no matter whether it was in the sea of ​​consciousness or uttering his own voice, no one answered. bother.

Reminiscent of the fact that he had held the sword in the previous year but had never heard any sound, Jiang Mu realized that it is likely that the two swords need to be within a certain distance range so that the great grandfather can unite his soul and communicate with others.

So Jiang Mu secretly put half of his grandfather's soul in the barracks.

When Gu Jue heard that his sweetheart needed his protection, an indescribable warmth rushed to his heart.So he didn't care whether he wore a sword or not.

The two walked out of the room hand in hand, and a white figure in the corner quickly retracted.

As Jiang Mu said, the street was full of small stalls of various colors.

When the border war first broke out, the people in the nearest Lingzhou were so frightened that they stayed at home, living in fear, fearing that the rebels would suddenly attack.

However, after half a year, it was discovered that the rebels seemed unable to break in no matter what.So I slowly let go of my heart, and gradually restored the prosperity of the past.The news of the victory of the army today has been spread back to the capital, and naturally it has reached the ears of the people without any accidents, so the city is more lively than before.

The two walked on the brightly lit street, and the warmth of each other came from the touching palms, which was soft and warm.

There was endless shouting and hawking, and occasionally some people got red-faced because of bargaining with the stall owner, and the sweet aroma of glutinous rice crisps wafted in the air, making people's index fingers twitch.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Gu Jue didn't notice the noise at all.

This is the big Yu that he and his father, uncle, master and others have been guarding all the time.Seeing the stable and harmonious life of the people makes everything worthwhile.

There was a deep smile in the corner of Gu Jue's eyes, under the bright and frosty quiet moonlight, he looked even more handsome and elegant.

A childish voice came into the ears of the two of them crisply, exclaiming, "Brother, you look so good-looking!"

He saw a young girl sitting on the side of the road with big black eyes, staring straight at Gu Jue.

His Highness the Third Highness was about to praise her for having as good eyesight as his own, but first saw a few strings of red strings in front of her, so he squatted down and picked them up to have a look.

The little girl's mother was also sitting on the side. Originally, she only yelled when young men and women walked over in pairs.But at this moment, the handsome young master seemed very interested, so he explained it.

"This is the marriage line obtained from the Yuelao Temple. After the lovers wear it, Yuelao will know the love between the two in the sky, and will bless them for a lifetime and never separate." The woman looked at it. His expression continued to ask, "Would you like to buy a pair?"

Jiang Mu turned around and looked up at Gu Jue, as if asking him if he wanted it.

Gu Jue couldn't help laughing at his slightly childish behavior, "You can make this kind of thing, but if you like it, you can buy it."

There are not a few people selling this kind of thing on the street, and Jiang Mu certainly knows that it is not credible.But being with Huaixi forever is the deepest obsession in my heart, and I can't help but want to try it after hearing it. Even if it doesn't work, it sounds like a good sign.

Jiang Mu was about to buy a pair with silver, when he heard the little girl who had been staring at Gu Jue say to Gu Jue with a little dissatisfaction, "My mother and I went to the Yuelao Temple to ask for this marriage line. Say it can't be done?"

Before the two could speak, she turned her head and said to Jiang Mu, "Brother, do you believe it? The marriage line I asked for will surely bless you and this brother to be together forever!"

Looking at her determined and slightly angry face, Jiang Mu felt that this was really the cutest child he had ever seen.Of course, Huaixi's childhood is not counted.

The little girl's mother listened to her daughter's nonsense, and was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth to apologize to Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu smiled more kindly than before, and nodded seriously, "Well, of course I believe it. , and this good-looking brother also believes it, if you don’t believe me, ask him?”

The little girl looked at Gu Jue expectantly after hearing the words, "Really?"

Gu Jue was helpless, and couldn't bear to hurt the little girl's young heart, so he also knelt down with Jiang Mu, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, "Well, I believe it too."

It doesn't matter if there is a red line or not, as long as I am alive, I will be by his side.

The little girl was rubbed on the head by the good-looking brother, and she was affirmed again. She was so happy that she laughed with two deep dimples.

After Jiang Mu took out a piece of silver and handed it to the woman, he took a pair of red strings and was about to leave.

The woman took the money, and immediately forgot what happened just now, and hurriedly said, "Young master, this is too much, you can buy all of these!"

Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Buy the rest for her to eat." After speaking, he pulled Gu Jue and left without looking back.

The woman was a little worried with the heavy money, how much sugar would I have to buy, and my daughter's teeth.

Jiang Mu carefully wrapped the red rope around Gu Jue's wrist twice, and then tied it tightly, obviously not wanting him to take it off.

"Here, tie it on for me." Jiang Mu took out another one and put it in his hand.

After Gu Jue imitated his appearance and finished it, he couldn't help asking, "Why do you have to wrap it around twice?"

"Of course it means to make a pair, it's unlucky to be alone!" Jiang Mu said naturally.

Gu Jue laughed, the Third Highness didn't seem to have grown up.

Then, the Third Highness, who hadn't grown up, really looked like a child, raised the hands tied with the red string that the two intertwined to the top of his head, and watched carefully against the moonlight.

The two red lines are simple without any decoration, and the workmanship can't be called fine. While Jiang Mu sighed in his heart, he couldn't help sighing that he had never seen such an elegant and beautiful thing.

Just because it is worn on the hand of the sweetheart.

Gu Jue stretched out his hand to let him hold it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of paper on the ground, so he had to interrupt the intoxicated Third Highness.

Jiang Mu put down his hand and picked it up, with embarrassment on his face.

I don't even know what was written in the letter from Brother Erhuang, but I almost lost it!

Gu Jue probably guessed what it was, but he didn't pay much attention to the expression on his face, but said, "The Second Prince wrote a letter at this time, is there something urgent?"

Jiang Mu didn't know what to do, because he just wanted to make Huaixi feel better, but later he expressed his intentions and completely forgot about the letter from the emperor's brother.

Jiang Mu opened the envelope and looked at it on the street.Gu Jue stood by his side and waited for him to finish reading.

The more he looked back, the more impatient he became. Jiang Mu hurriedly read the letter with a serious expression on his face.

"What happened in the palace?" Gu Jue asked tentatively.

Jiang Mu nodded, "Father is seriously ill, and has not been able to go to court for many days."

Gu Jue was about to ask again, but Jiang Mu said again, "Go back and talk about it."

There are so many people on the street, it is really not the place to discuss this matter.Gu Jue didn't want to go shopping anymore, so he went back.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Mu told him everything that the second brother said in the letter.

After Emperor Hong'an became seriously ill, he actually asked Jiang Qing to act as an agent in court affairs during a waking moment.

His expression seemed extremely rational, even if Concubine Chen knew there was something tricky in her heart, she couldn't stop her, so she could only watch him lift the ban and act as an agent of the government.

However, Jiang Qing seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and took all the power into his own hands, as if the emperor would never wake up again.And put Concubine Chen under house arrest in disguise, but she didn't dare to do anything excessive.

The emperor's situation might not last for a few days. Looking at the situation, once he closes his eyes forever, Jiang Qing will probably sit on the throne naturally.

Jiang Su felt that the matter was serious, and he had always had a good relationship with his third brother, plus he felt that his elder brother had always been an idiot and had no ability to be an emperor at all, so he wrote this letter carefully.

Listening to his description of the emperor's illness, Gu Jue said uncertainly, "The emperor's illness is related to Master..."

After what he said, Jiang Mu also realized the seriousness of the problem.

His father died suddenly in his previous life, and he always felt that he had something to do with Jiang Qing.

If this is the case, then there are rebels in the palace, and Jiang Qing may have colluded with the rebels.

"We must leave for Beijing immediately." Jiang Mu said solemnly.

"Now?" Gu Jue asked, as if he was about to leave immediately.

Jiang Mu rubbed the top of his hair, "As soon as possible, but there is no need to leave now. The soldiers are still drinking, and you are exhausted these two days. We will leave tomorrow."

"Besides, I have to go and talk to General Liu."

Liu Jia's support or not is largely related to the success or failure of this time.

"I'll go with you." Gu Jue said.

At the beginning, I took over the Emperor's Dongxi Sword, purely for the purpose of helping him one day, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon, so I naturally wanted to do more for him and face more with him.

If General Liu is unwilling to lend a helping hand, he must be forced...

"Okay." Jiang Mu responded softly, "It's getting late, sleep here tonight, and return to the barracks tomorrow morning."
