Save my wife all over the world

============================

Madam Zuo was the only one left in the hall for a moment, she was sitting on her knees with a pale face, nervously stirring the brocade handkerchief in her hand, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

What happened tonight was indeed beyond the acceptable limit for ordinary deep-house women.

"Ma'am, don't worry."

Ling Yan walked to her side, and gently placed her gauze-wrapped hands on her shoulders.

Madam Zuo's trembling body suddenly froze, and she even held her breath in horror, as if Ling Yan would break her neck in the next second.

"When Lord Zuo comes back, you can go home. Although the house was burnt down, most of the people are safe anyway. It's a blessing. If the green hills are left, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood, madam."

Ling Yan patted lightly, then withdrew his hand, and walked to the side of Gu Zhong, who was squinting his eyes and pretending to be asleep.

After a cup of tea, Zuo Yingyuan still didn't come back, neither did the two sergeants who went with him.

A bad premonition rose in Ling Yan's heart. She glanced at the tired Gu Zhong, quietly walked down the steps, and whispered to the soldiers guarding the door:

"You lead a team to look for Zuo Yingyuan around the mansion, remember not to disperse, report back if you can't find it, don't make a fuss."

The soldiers took orders and left, and the number of people in the temple became less and less.

"gentlemen!"

Gu Zhong, who was at the top, suddenly exclaimed, and Ling Yan hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Gu Zhong looking at her with a shocked expression on his face.

"Your Highness? Are you suffering from a nightmare?"

Ling Yan walked quickly to her side, and looked at Yan Da Da's little Highness distressedly.

"It's okay, what time is it?"

Gu Zhong waved his hands, supported the table and stood up.

"It's just time for a cup of tea, Your Highness can rest for a while."

"Zuo Yingyuan hasn't come back yet?" Gu Zhong frowned.

"Someone has been sent to look for it."

"Report! Your Highness! Your Excellency! Something happened!"

There was another cry, and the voice came before the person arrived.

Gu Zhong patted her head, she didn't want to hear the word "report" again today, every time it was bad.

The bodies of Zuo Yingyuan and two accompanying soldiers were found in the garden of the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion. It is strange that Zuo Yingyuan's head was taken away.

Unexpectedly, someone sneaked into the tightly surrounded mansion in this short period of time, and killed three people without alarming anyone.

Or, the assassins were already lurking in this line of troops, and they hit them with one hit when the big guys were just relaxing.

If you just kill someone, you will kill him. Why do you want to take away Zuo Ying's head of state?This is really a puzzling question.

So the task of the army soldiers in the mansion became to find the head. Gu Zhong ordered to go to the city to call another team, and even searched the deep well in the courtyard, but failed to find the missing corpse. .

"Perhaps he was taken away. Your Highness, send someone to check the list of soldiers who came with the army this time. After counting the casualties, is there anyone who can't corroborate it?"

Ling Yan suggested that if the assassin was really a hidden spy in the army, there would be clues to track him down.If someone sneaks in during the chaos, I'm afraid they won't be able to find the ends of the earth.

"Good." Gu Zhong immediately arranged for someone to investigate, but this task is extremely large, and it must take a few days.

"As for Mrs. Zuo..." Ling Yan glanced at Mrs. Zuo, who was stunned by the sight of her husband's corpse, "Take her to reunite with her family."

"Look carefully, I don't want to hear that the Zuo family is gone again tomorrow." Gu Zhong glanced coldly at the people present, and left the county guard's mansion.

The two set foot on the streets of Beiling County City again. The sound of fighting that resounded through the streets and alleys before disappeared. Groups of soldiers holding torches marched past and knocked on the closed doors of the city to search for barbarians who might be hiding.

The corpse collector collected the young men who fell on the battlefield and couldn't get up again. Facing the booklet, they hung the wooden plaques made of mahogany with their names engraved on their waists, covered them with white cloth, and carried them away one by one.

"Sir, there are a lot of people..."

Walking on the street, Gu Zhong's words revealed indelible sadness and indignation.

"The casualty figures in those military newspapers used to be just a series of numbers to the solitary, which were used to judge the strength gap between the enemy and us, formulate combat strategies, and supply food, grass and armaments. Now, they have become living people, dying in solitary In front of them. In just one night, the battle was so tragic."

Even though Her Royal Highness, who has been extremely calm and strategizing from the beginning to the end, is actually only a young girl on the battlefield for the first time, she cannot ignore the violent impact of what happened tonight.

"Your Highness..." Ling Yan looked sideways at Gu Zhong, who had briefly exposed all her fragility, and gently embraced her shoulders, "If you feel uncomfortable, I'll let you lean on me."

"gentlemen…"

His Highness paused, and stared sideways at Ling Yan in a daze, there seemed to be light in his dark eyes.The corners of her lips rose slightly, and she suddenly showed a warm smile.

"As long as Mr. is here, that's fine..."

"I will always be with Your Highness..."

She wanted to climb up to the corner of Gu Zhong's eyes and catch the glimmer of light in those pupils, but she was hesitant to overstep.

The hand wrapped in bloody gauze just fell on the shoulder, and he sincerely and firmly said to her, the most sincere wish in his heart.

"Mr.'s hand...it's time to change the dressing." Gu Zhong saw the reddened gauze on Ling Yan's hand again from the corner of his eyes, and reached out to grab her white wrist dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much, it's okay... wait until tonight's business is over... Eh? Your Highness?"

Warmth came from the part being held, and a strange satisfaction rose from the bottom of my heart.

While Ling Yan politely refused, she flinched back and drew her hand back, but was held tightly by Gu Zhong.

"It's nothing serious tonight, take Mr. Gu to change his medicine!"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged forward by the little highness.

The sky was faintly bright, and the city was covered with dust after a night of war. Thin snowflakes fell down, covering the bluestone streets. The dirty snow mixed with dried blood had been cleared away, and the ground returned to pure white.

Except for those wooden houses and tiled houses that were destroyed in the war, telling the fierce battle of last night, there was no trace of turmoil left.

The army returned to the city with a murderous spirit, Wei Wuhou personally presented the head of the barbarian Zuo Shanyu to Gu Zhong, and all the troops led by him were wiped out, declaring that the plans of the barbarians and the people behind the scenes were completely broken.

After this battle, the vitality of the barbarians was severely injured. If they were lucky, they found a land with rich grass and water, and could survive until the beginning of spring. If they were not lucky, the whole clan might not be able to withstand this severe winter.

The northern border army returned to the northern border pass, as before, year after year, day after day, guarding the country's gate, and the sound of war echoed outside the pass every day.

The calamity of the barbarians has been resolved, the cold winter is fading away, and the situation in the entire Beiling is much better than before.

So Gu Zhong and Marquis Wu of Wei counted the remaining Gyeonggi Guards, escorted those aristocratic families who had lost their foundations, and returned to Xijing.

It's just that Ling Yan asked people to check the booklet made by the soldiers that day, and all the souls of the living and the dead match up, without any omissions.

The assassin most likely killed one of the sergeants, and then disguised himself to sneak into the mansion.

Such painstaking efforts were only to kill Zuo Yingyuan, but it was proved from the side that the Zuo family really had a big problem.

It's just that the clues to Zuo Yingyuan's death were completely disconnected, and the assassin's matter could not be further investigated for the time being, casting an indelible shadow over the joy of returning to Beijing.

When passing through Luyi, those wealthy families were handed over to the governor of Luyi, and Gu Zhong only continued to take the Zuo clan to continue southward.

She intuited that more information about the previous dynasty could be gleaned from the Zuo family.

However, to the outside world, Gu Zhongmei said that it would be difficult for Xijing to accommodate the family members of Mr. Zuo who died loyally and martyred for the country, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Zuo family was imprisoned by the empress dowager.

After returning to Beijing, because of the granddaughter's trip to the north, she defeated the barbarians and made great contributions to disaster relief. Gu Dilong was very happy and rewarded her greatly. corvee.

The imperial edict for the removal and replacement of officials in Beiling County was also issued, and the new officials set off for Beiling within a few days.

And those wealthy families who were unable to penetrate into it because of the Zuo family and other aristocratic families were like hyenas smelling meat, eager to divide Beiling County, which is now no longer under control.

Although Gu Zhong didn't like it, Beiling County needed to be rebuilt and developed, and the national treasury was unsustainable, so it could only be achieved by relying on these rich families.

When the ministers of the northern border fully understood the matter, what Gu Zhong could do was already the limit, and it was a great achievement to save half of the Gu Dynasty from the flames of war.

However, there are still people who criticize her for not checking the barbarian's tactics and let the enemy invaders, and criticize her rogue ways of treating the Beiling family, regardless of people's livelihood.

If it was the past, Gu Zhong would probably roll up his sleeves in court again to beat someone up or belittle him on the spot.

However, this time it might be because she was too angry in Beiling. At this time, Gu Zhong had spontaneously mastered the skill of turning a deaf ear, and some verbal provocations could hardly irritate her.

Anger is indeed unnecessary sometimes, and there is no need to show it to others. Only now did she truly understand what it means to "get rid of joy and hate".

Lady Gein was only smiling on the steps, she didn't show any anger at all, she became unpredictable, but there were far fewer people accompanying the music than before.

Gu Di coldly glanced at the man whose Highness was still yelling at Gu Zhong, and impatiently asked him to gag him, and sent him directly to southern Xinjiang to experience the poisonous miasma, so as to clear his mind.

In the past, those who participated in Gu Zhong's performances were just trivial matters, and Emperor Gu didn't bother to pay attention to them, but it fueled the arrogance of these censors.

If it's about military and state affairs, does the majestic princess still have prestige?

It is almost equivalent to cutting off her path to the throne, so there is no need for people who can't see the form clearly or who are dismissive of the royal family to stay in the court.

After Gu Di said this, the voices in the court hall instantly became extremely unified, and they all began to praise Gu Zhong for his bravery, benevolence, and thoughtfulness, which made His Highness feel happy.

However, what Gu Di announced next shocked Gu Dafa, and also exceeded Ling Yan's expectations.

He didn't discuss with Gu Zhong at all, and directly issued the order to choose a husband for her.
