Rebel

Gu Qian kowtowed three times to Gu Ao, and said with his face up, "King of Han, my brother is sorry for my elder brother for doing something."

Gu Ao looked into Gu Qian's eyes and asked, "...Is the city defense okay?"

Gu Qian shook his head: "The city defense is fine, it's my brother's private business."

Gu Ao nodded slightly, relieved.

He knew that Gu Qian usually called himself 'the last general' when others were present, but this time he called himself 'brother' and also called himself 'elder brother', so intimate and intimate, Gu Ao couldn't help but become suspicious: " What is it, you get up and say."

Gu Qian didn't answer, but his gaze passed over Gu Ao, and met Tian Bai who was standing behind Gu Ao.Gu Qian stood up, walked in front of Tian Bai, also knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said: "Brother Tian, ​​forgive me."

Tian Bai frowned: "What's the matter with you, you barged in in the middle of the night, and I was talking serious business with the King of Han."

Gu Qian replied: "What I want to say is also a serious matter." After saying that, Gu Qian walked up to Mrs. Xin, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Second Madam, I am now serving as a general in the Anti-Rong Rebel Army. His subordinates account for [-] people in the Yuyang City Defense Force."

Mrs. Xin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You are promising, I am also happy to see you like this."

"I have made countless military exploits and have been rewarded by the King of Han many times."

When Madam Xin heard this, she felt that Gu Qian gave her a face, and she smiled even more, and said: "Oh, good, good!"

Gu Qian continued: "Now in the army, thanks to the unyielding support of my brothers, I will win every battle and win every attack, and I will have a bright future..." As he spoke, Gu Qian glanced at Gu Ao again, gritted his teeth and said: " The future is bright!"

Ordinarily, if Gu Qian boasted so much as usual, Gu Ao would have reprimanded him long ago, so that he should not be arrogant.But today, Gu Ao seems to have understood the begging in Gu Qianshi's gaze, and the flattery contained in that 'brother'.Seeing that Gu Qian was behaving abnormally today, Gu Ao went to the side alone and looked at Gu Qian without saying a word.

As soon as the words 'the future is bright' finished, Mrs. Xin took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed: "Oh, oh, you're promising, you're really promising!"

Gu Qian said: "Since Second Madam also thinks that I am promising, why don't you betroth my daughter to me?"

Gu Ao heard this, secretly said: "So that's how it is."

But at the same time, as soon as Gu Qian finished speaking, Mrs. Xin's face became stiff. She first looked at Gu Ao, and then at Tian Bai. Tian Bai's face was also as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He stepped forward, raised his foot and kicked Gu Qian's chest.Gu Qian took the kick abruptly, straightened his body and knelt down again.Tian Bai hugged his toes and fell to the ground with an 'ouch'.

Gritting his teeth in pain, Tian Bai crawled up his fat body, his face became ferocious, he walked towards Gu Qian crookedly, suddenly took out a pocket knife from his belt, and stabbed at Gu Qian: " I should have killed you bastard!"

Gu Ao was watching from the side. When he saw Tian Bai pulling out his sword, he knew it was not good. The blade flashed by. Gu Ao was just about to kick Tian Bai's knife away, but suddenly saw a ball of ivory white flashing in front of his eyes—— —I saw a young girl who looked like a cardamom, threw herself on Gu Qian with tears in her eyes, stared at Tian Bai and said: "If you want to kill him, kill me first!"

Gu Ao recognized it, isn't this—Tian Xiaoniu?

Seeing that Gu Qian immediately protected Tian Xiaoniu behind him: "What are you doing here? Didn't you just ask you to wait for me in the small pavilion in the garden?"

Tian Xiaoniu's face was flushed, she didn't know if she ran away in a hurry, or she was rouged, or she was shy, but she looked like a girl shy, she opened a pair of tearful eyes, and said to Gu Qian: "I don't worry, follow me Here you are. You have been hiding in the bushes outside the door just now."

Tian Bai held up the knife, his ferocious face was tangled and torn to pieces.Mrs. Xin stood up tremblingly, her face was pale, she pointed at Tian Xiaoniu's nose and cursed: "You...you shameless little whore!"

Speaking of Mrs. Xin walking towards Gu Ao, Gu Ao felt that she was about to fall to the ground, and saw Mrs. Xin was about to kneel, but was supported by Tian Bai who caught up, Mrs. Xin's teeth chattered and said: "... ...Han Wang...Han Wang calm down...it must be Er Gouzi, a little rascal, who deceived my daughter."

Seeing that Gu Ao didn't speak, just looked at their mother and son, Tian Bai also knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly: "King of Han, calm down, King of Han, calm down, King of Han, calm down."

Gu Ao ignored the two of the Tian family, but walked step by step in front of Gu Qian and Tian Xiaoniu who were embracing each other. Gu Qian hurriedly protected Tian Xiaoniu behind him, and Gu Ao looked down at Gu Qian.Gu Qian swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Han Wang...brother...you just let my brother go...just...just once."

Gu Ao raised his foot and kicked Gu Qian over, Tian Xiaoniu was so frightened that her face paled, she screamed, and hurried over to hug Gu Qian, Gu Qian covered his chest, spat blood on the ground, and crawled to Gu Ao At the foot: "King of Han... Please, please."

Gu Ao looked at Gu Qian who was prostrate on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "When you are on duty to guard the city, if you leave your post without permission, as a general, you will be punished with a higher crime. Originally, according to the military law, you should be demoted this time. But I think you will be happy Lin, it's not honorable to be demoted, if this king kicks you, it will be regarded as a fine, and you are allowed to stay in the original position, but you have to pay the crime and make meritorious deeds, you know?"

Gu Qian opened his eyes wide, looked at Gu Ao, he grabbed Tian Xiaoniu, and wept with joy: "The last general takes orders, thank you King of Han..." As Gu Qian said, tears flowed down his cheeks: "...Thank you brother, thank you Brother is sympathetic."

After finishing speaking, Gu Ao walked up to Tian's mother and son again, and said: "My righteous brother Gu Qian has outstanding military achievements and a prominent official position. Although he is arrogant, he is also rare and affectionate. Why, isn't he worthy of your Tian family? ? They will be beaten and killed."

Tian Bai and Mrs. Xin's faces were originally ashen, but now they heard what Gu Ao said, they couldn't help but glanced at each other.

Gu Ao looked at them and said: "Since my father is not in the Northland, I will follow the elder brother. This king is the elder brother of Gu Qian, so I should preside over him. Tomorrow, the king will write a letter back to Hanzhong, asking my parents to prepare the dowry and send To the mansion. Tian Bai, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xin came back to her senses first, and pinched Tian Bai at this moment: "You are Brother Xiaoniu, you can make an idea for her."

Tian Bo glanced at Mrs. Xin, and stammered: "...This, this... Mother, what should I do?"

Mrs. Xin wiped her tears and said: "It's all over... The king of Han still wants to make a face for our little girl, but it's really... I really feel ashamed."

Gu Ao raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "My younger brother is also reckless, please forgive me. The Gutian family are family friends, although this time is abrupt, it is not beyond the rules, right?"

Tian Bai came back to his senses, nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes! Exactly, this... the marriage of the Gutian family was settled before, and the old man knew it. After the ceremony, it was the right time to get married. I also wrote a letter back to Hanzhong to inform my father."

Gu Ao smiled: "Isn't that all right? Get up quickly, what does kneeling look like?"

Tian Bai supported Mrs. Xin to stand up, and Mrs. Xin walked up to Tian Xiaoniu with tears in her eyes. Seeing that the matter had been settled, Tian Xiaoniu became timid and called out cautiously: "...Mother."

Mrs. Xin shook her head, took out her handkerchief and hit her: "You child..."

Gu Qian hurriedly said: "Second Madam, don't get angry, it's all my fault."

Mrs. Xin glanced at Gu Qian, and saw the sharp edges and corners of the young man in front of her. Although he was not very upright and handsome, his outline was already showing the sharpness of a man. She couldn't help but sighed: "You have to treat the chick well! Otherwise, I won't be able to forgive you !"

"It goes without saying, I can even give her my heart!" Gu Qian said.

Mrs. Xin slumped her shoulders like an old lady, and bent her back. She was obviously full of glory when she came, but now she was completely deflated. With Tian Bai's support, she took Tian Bai The little girl's hand, said: "...let's go back with mother."

Tian Xiaoniu was led away by Mrs. Xin, she looked back at Gu Qian three times; Gu Qian also stood on the steps, staring straight at Tian Xiaoniu, motionless.

While walking, Mrs. Xin looked at the small stones under her feet, and whispered to herself: "If you don't be small, then don't be small. What good is being small?"

Speaking of her tears, Tian Xiaoniu looked back at Gu Qian, she didn't hear her mother's words, but Tian Bai heard it from the side.Thinking of her mother who is obviously more capable than Mrs. Tian, ​​but she has always been inferior to Mrs. Tian for many years, Tian Bai also sighed.

Mrs. Xin looked at the road ahead, and suddenly said: "This child...everyone has said that she is blessed since she was a child, and her fate is better than mine."

Tian Bai looked at his mother, but didn't speak.

Under the cold moon, Mrs. Xin held Tian Xiaoniu's hand tightly.
