Loyal heart travels a long way

Mobei Express:

A few days ago, when the Tatars were caught trying to set fire to the north of the Da Zhou military camp, Tunnel sent a family of officials to sneak into the opponent's camp pretending to be Tatars.

Now that the grass is everywhere, it is not easy to start a fire, but the other party has tung oil in his hand. Tung oil has always been unique to the Great Zhou, and it is absolutely impossible for the Tatars to produce it themselves. Please also ask the Holy One to find out whether there are people from the Great Zhou who have close contacts with the Tatars.

The ministers and others were ineffective, fell into the trap of the Tatars, and lost nearly [-] troops. The old general Chu and his wife had been ambushed and sacrificed. I implore the court to send [-] more troops to Mobei to increase the number of troops.

All the losses in this battle will be returned to the court in the future, and I wish Chengdong to bear them all.

The secret letter is not long, only more than [-] words, but it can be seen that Zhu Chengdong is crying blood almost every word, and many words are wet on the rice paper because the ink is too heavy.

Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao looked at the secret letter, their hands trembling a little, no matter what, they never thought that General Chu would encounter such a thing in Mobei.

Before they set off, Gu Zhiyao specially asked the old general to take Yun Shi with him, thinking that if something happened, Yun Shi was a tiger after all, and he understood human nature, so he would not let his family members die.

But even so, something happened, and it is unknown what kind of dangerous thing happened there.

Gu Zhiyao didn't have the energy to think about what happened to them there. General Chu and his wife treated him so well that they almost regarded him as their own grandson, even though the relationship between him and Chu Dancheng became In this way, he didn't blame himself too much, but comforted Gu Zhiyao according to the ceremony of marrying a bride.

They really regarded Gu Zhiyao as their own family.

Thinking of the first time I saw the two old ones, it was still in Qizhou at that time, the old general was afraid that Gu Zhiyao would be uncomfortable in Chu's mansion, so he pulled Zhu Chengdong to make fun of him, and relieved Gu Zhiyao, the old lady even made crispy cheese To Gu Zhiyao, the two used such actions to tell Gu Zhiyao: When you come to our house, you will be a child of the family, so you don't need to see outsiders.

Later, the three of them broke up with the Qin Mansion and separated their families. Gu Zhiyao was watching over the completion of the new mansion. Grandparents and grandparents came to the capital with their family. The first thing the old general did was to ask Gu Zhiyao to change his mind. Don't call grandpa again, you should call grandpa.The longevity golden lock ring and the words on the three golden beads below were all carved by the old general himself.

Peace and prosperity, wealth and prosperity, and longevity.

Why didn't Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao hope that the old general and his wife could live a long life, but... they ended up in the hands of the Tatars!

Chu Dancheng stared at the secret letter with his red eyes, Gu Zhiyao shook it a few times, his throat filled with fishy sweetness.

Seeing these two people like this, An Zimu couldn't bear it.

But there is no way around this, war is like this, some people will win, some people have to sacrifice, if the enemy dies today, tomorrow it may be your own people who lost their lives.

"I summoned the two of you when I received the secret letter. The death of the old general is still a secret in the court. Now I suspect that someone colluded with the Tatars and killed the old general. The two of you became enemies." An Zimu asked someone to give Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao seats, "The situation is very bad now, there is one less general in Mobei, and it is the fiefdom of King Yan, I am worried that King Yan will take advantage of it This opportunity is not good for General Zhu."

Chu Dancheng raised his head, his expression extremely cold, "Chen..."

"Uncle, let me go to Mobei!" Before Chu Dancheng could say anything, Gu Zhiyao had stood up and interrupted.

He walked up to An Zimu, lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down and kowtowed, "I have been brought up by my elder brother since I was nine years old, and I can learn whatever I want. I don't like reading poor books. If I prefer to read military books or something, he will let me."

Gu Zhiyao paused for a moment, he could feel Chu Dancheng staring at his back, not daring to turn his head back, he just raised his head and looked at An Zimu with a pair of bright eyes: "I originally wanted to be a General. Now that my grandfather has encountered such a thing, I don’t want to see it. I’m afraid I’ll have to sleep and eat for the rest of my life. Taking a step back, what kind of character is the old general? I don’t believe my grandfather really left. What if I can still be rescued?"

"Why are you crazy? Are you joking around on the battlefield?" Chu Dancheng stood up with a huff, and went forward to grab Gu Zhiyao's arm, "How old are you, you have never entered a military camp, and you still want to lead troops? If it's really auspicious, it will take seven days for you to go, so what's the use..."

Chu Dancheng was a little choked up, and the words that followed were not pleasant, so he couldn't continue.

More than anyone else, he hoped that the old General Chu and his wife were still alive, but Zhu Chengdong was in Mobei, and he was the most anxious about the accident between the two of them.

At the beginning, the old lady went to the Qin mansion with a whip to ask the three of them for an explanation. Although she was not there, Gu Zhiyao talked to herself several times.

The elders of the Qin family can't be counted on, but those of the Chu family are very good to him. Chu Dancheng still thought about waiting for the war in Mobei to end, and when Gu Zhiyao's affairs were settled, he took Gu Zhiyao to Qizhou To accompany the two old people, the family is together.

Chu Dancheng closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "It's not that there is no one in Dazhou, you are anxious and I am also anxious, even if you go to Mobei, it shouldn't be you, treat me as a dead person?"

Gu Zhiyao shook his head, "Brother, you can't go, you have to stay in the capital and work with your uncle to find out who colluded with Tatar."

He kowtowed his head twice again, his forehead was flushed, "When my two elder brothers and Mr. Feng are together, it's better to check these things one by one. No matter where the emperor thinks, he should let the three of them We will thoroughly investigate this matter together in Beijing. Let me go, so that you can see that what my grandfather and cousin taught me is not in vain."

An Zimu looked at the two people below, but remained silent for a while.

The Chu family has several generations of generals, and the family is full of blood from top to bottom. Even Chu Dancheng and Chu Qingfeng are now civil servants in the court, and they are also extremely bloody.

Rationally, of course An Zimu hoped that Chu Dancheng, Chu Qingfeng, and Feng Jinian would stay in the capital together to find out the troublemaker behind him, but logically, he couldn't bear to ignore it.

Gu Zhiyao could see that An Zimu's heart was shaking, and chuckled, "What are you doing, don't you believe me? Didn't I also kill the shadow guard who killed An Rumeng when I entered the palace alone? Have you come out yet? When I get to Mobei, I will definitely put myself first."

In Chu Dan's heart, heaven and man have been at war for a long time, and he knows Gu Zhiyao's ability, but he just doesn't want Gu Zhiyao to go to the battlefield to suffer and suffer. ambush.

My heart aches when I get hurt, what if...

He suddenly opened his eyes again, for a person like Gu Zhiyao, sometimes he can't match his level of thoughtfulness, can he still keep him by his side for the rest of his life?

Although if possible, he really wants to tie people by his side for the rest of his life.

"Forget it, my minister Chu Dan sincerely pleads for the life of my righteous brother Gu Zhiyao, and implores the emperor to send [-] elite soldiers to Mobei to protect our great Zhou country and avenge the good men of the Great Zhou who lost their lives in the war!" After speaking, Chu Dancheng also knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then turned his head to look at Gu Zhiyao: "Go ahead, do what you want, brother's life is also entrusted to you, please take care of it."
