The first male queen [crossing]

Gu Junci looked straight at the young man in front of him, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Going to the border to rescue the emperor this time, he faced not a few assassins, but Rongdi's thousands of troops. To stabilize the situation on the border and rescue the trapped emperor before the reinforcements arrived, the road ahead was extremely dangerous.

It was clearly an uncertain battle situation, even Xiao Yan never expressed his opinion, but Xiao Yuan planned to go with them.

Xiao Yuan nodded firmly and said: "This time, I represent the Lanling Xiao Clan, and I must go with you."

Hearing what Xiao Yuan said, Gu Junci naturally had no reason to stop it. Besides, there are elders from the Langya Wang family in the main hall, so naturally Xiao Yuan would not be allowed to mess around. Presumably they didn't stop him. What is your position?

It's not too late to rescue the driver now, so Wang Funian also went to prepare horses and dry food earlier.

In front of the gate of Wang's mansion, Lu Qingxuan followed Gu Junci, looking worried: "Brother Gu, is it really okay if I don't go?"

Holding the long sword in his hand, Gu Junci stretched out his hand to straighten his collar: "You don't know kung fu, it's still troublesome to go there, you just stay here with the princess, and I'll pick you up when it's over."

Lu Qingxuan nodded obediently, took off the money bag at his waist and handed it to Gu Junci: "You take it for the road, I don't know how many days it takes to go to Hanyang Pass, so don't starve yourself on the road .”

Gu Junci weighed the money bag in his hand and hung it on his waist: "Keep it for yourself, and I have two young men from aristocratic families by my side, do you think I will still be short of money?"

Lu Qingxuan looked around, and then he smiled, and happened to meet Xie Suiyun who was looking back, he immediately pursed his lips without smiling, and whispered in Gu Junci's ear:

"Brother Gu, this rescue is a good opportunity. Try to win the first prize in front of His Majesty. In this way, you will not be just a Jinwu guard when you are rewarded for your merit."

Gu Junci looked at Lu Qingxuan's serious eyes, and then nodded vigorously in response. Hearing the sound of horseshoes on the street, three horse-backed servants walked over, leading all the items needed on the road. .

After the group of three got on their horses, they turned the horse's head and headed towards the gate of the city.

The crisp and loud sound of horseshoes echoed in the empty street, gradually, gradually disappearing into the night.

Walking on the official road at night in summer is also extremely lively. The birds in the forest are accompanied by the insects in the grass, and the little fireflies are flying on the tip of the grass, shining a faint light for them when they pass by.

Even though they were traveling overnight, the three of them stayed in the woods for the night in the middle of the night. They didn't plan to straighten their horses and continue their journey until it was dawn.

But as soon as he got on his horse, he heard the sound of hoofbeats behind him, as if he was calling Gu Junci's name.

Gu Junci turned his horse's head, looked back at the young man riding the horse on the official road, and couldn't help frowning at Xiao Yuan and Xie Suiyun: "Who is following again?"

Xiao Yuan stared earnestly for a long while, and seeing the people coming closer, he said: "It seems to be Brother Xu."

"Brother Xu?" Gu Junci murmured.

Xie Suiyun said: "Xu Yanqing, his father is the Marquis of Jingbian, and it is only a day's journey from Hanyang Pass in Yunzhong. Presumably the Marquis of Jingbian should get the news and go to rescue him."

It was only then that Gu Junci suddenly realized, and Xu Yanqing had already arrived in front of them at this moment, reined in the horse's reins, breathed calmly before saying:

"Last night, after Brother Lu came back to Beiyuan, he said that you were going to Hanyang Pass, so I rushed over overnight, and I managed to catch up."

Gu Junci smiled and said: "I think Brother Xu, as the son of Marquis Jingbian, wants to do his part in saving him."

Xu Yanqing nodded and smiled: "Hanyang Pass is not far from Yunzhong, so my father must have gotten the news to go to Hanyang Pass at this moment, so I should indeed go to Hanyang Pass to help my father."

Xiao Yuan responded from the side: "The Marquis of Jingbian is dedicated to serving the country and guarding the border, so he will definitely be the first to rush to Hanyang Pass this time."

Xu Yanqing nodded, but she didn't want Xie Suiyun, who had been indifferent all this time, to sneer slightly: "If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the woods again tonight."

Gu Junci turned his head and met his eyes, but then he thought that Prime Minister Xie was trapped in Hanyang Pass with the emperor at the moment, and Xie Suiyun's anxiety is natural, so Gu Junci did not waste any more time, and the four of them were in front After breakfast in the small town, I continued on my way.

However, Xie Suiyun's words came true, and they really missed their place, and they could only end up in a ruined temple.

The four of them led the horses and looked at the dilapidated ruined temple with ruined walls and tiles covering their heads. Compared with Gu Junci who often slept in the open air, the other three sons of aristocratic families seldom experienced this kind of experience.

Gu Junci turned around and looked at them: "Do you want to go in?"

Xie Suiyun snorted coldly: "If I hadn't delayed the time earlier, how could I live in such a dilapidated place now?"

Xu Yanqing said: "It's okay, it's just for one night, and I can probably reach Hanyang Pass tomorrow night."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly: "They are all members of the military, there is nothing that cannot be tolerated."

Gu Junci nodded and led the horse into the ruined temple first.

Few people come here in such barren mountains and wild mountains, but for them now, only horses can get to Hanyang Pass as soon as possible, so this horse must never be lost, and they must be optimistic.

The main hall of the dilapidated temple is full of weeds, and the scattered pillars are really inconvenient, especially the statue in the main hall, which has been damaged by wind and rain, and only the part below the waist is left. generals.

The part that has not collapsed is still covered with tiles, which can avoid a little dew.

The four people entered the main hall and sat down one after another. Looking at such a dilapidated place, Gu Junci couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at the rest of the stone statue, I think the people who used to be here believed in him very much, otherwise they wouldn't It's such a big sculpture."

Xiao Yuan also looked over, stared at it for a moment, and then said: "It is said that in ancient times, there were no countries, only tribes, and the chiefs were respected, and the current Zhuozhou was the border of China at that time. A battle was fought here. There was a very famous person named Huanfeng, because his mother saw the phoenix bird landed in front of his house on the day he was born, so he got this name."

Xie Suiyun couldn't help laughing: "It's often heard that the second son of Xiao has read a lot of books, but he didn't know that he would even dabble in such strange rumors. I really admire it."

Xu Yanqing hurriedly said: "Second Young Master Xiao, what about Feng's successor?"

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at Gu Junci, who was listening with gusto, then looked at Xu Yanqing, and continued: "Later, Feng grew up, and he was accompanied by tribes fighting with each other. Today this tribe is annexed, and tomorrow that tribe The tribe was included in its own territory, Feng grew up in such a time of ups and downs, and also practiced good martial arts..."

According to the legend, Feng was later highly regarded by the chief for his martial arts skills, and he was made the leader of the army. At that time, when the people of the Yi tribe attacked the Huaxia tribe, Feng naturally wanted to lead the army, and it was here in Zhuozhou. , Several battles and several victories, the leader of the Huaxia tribe suggested that he should fight against it.

However, at that time, water conservancy was inconvenient, coupled with continuous heavy rains, marching was inconvenient, and even the nearby villages would suffer catastrophe. Feng disobeyed the chief's order and ordered the soldiers to help the people move to Gaogao. Of course, he also helped the Yi tribe. However, because of this, some villainous villains spoke to the leader of the Huaxia tribe, saying that Feng had surrendered to Muyi.

The chief of the Huaxia tribe originally wanted to find out the truth of the matter, but the treacherous evil provoked it. Feng was a staunch character, and he listened to the treacherous and instigated words, mistakenly thinking that the chief didn't believe him, and even tied up his family, so in order to protect his family and show his loyalty , Then he killed himself with a horizontal knife.

The chief of the Huaxia tribe who heard about this incident was naturally very sad, and when the chief of the Muyi tribe heard about this incident, he was also saddened by the fact that Feng was framed for helping his own people and committed suicide. When the people of the tribe proposed to erect a monument for Fengxiu's tomb in Zhuozhou, the chiefs of the two tribes met, and even because of Feng's actions, the two tribes were at peace for more than ten years.

At that time, the people of the two tribes also repaired statues and built temples for Feng. The name of the temple was the God of War Temple.

It is strange to say that after the completion of Feng's God of War Temple in Zhuozhou, there has been no flood for almost 50 years, and later some people kindly called him the God of Water.

It has been passed down from ancient times to the present for almost 2000 years. No one will believe in an ancient god until eternity. After the last believer disappears, the Temple of War God is doomed to collapse.

After listening to Xiao Yuan finished telling the story, Gu Junci couldn't help but sighed, listening to the bursts of insects coming from outside the ruined temple, and then said:

"This general named Feng is too stubborn. He should choose to trust the people he follows. Since he is doing good deeds, he is not afraid of treachery and instigation. The chiefs of China are not so easy to listen to other people's slander. If I , I will kill that traitor, and then go back to see the chief.”

Xu Yanqing also nodded in agreement: "However, he chose to sacrifice his own death in exchange for the safety of his family in order to prevent his family from being persecuted. It is considered helpless."

Xie Suiyun pretended to be relaxed and said: "It is clear that Feng himself is stupid. He is the leader of the Huaxia tribe. He went to save the people in the enemy camp. This is to hand a knife to those who want to harm him. The world thinks this is benevolence and righteousness. Renyi who lost his life, don't mind it."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said nothing, but then he heard noises coming from the side hall of the ruined temple, Xiao Yuan immediately became alert, unconsciously grasped the sword in his hand, looked at Gu Junci, and immediately Knowing this, he stood up carefully and headed towards the side hall.

However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the side hall, after kicking open the door panel blocking the way, he saw the two women with disheveled hair hiding behind the bricks.

Gu Junci immediately drew his sword and pointed it at them, warning: "Who are you? If you don't go home, what are you doing here?"
