After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

twelve,

There is a manor in the southern suburb of Jiangcheng, with waterside pavilions and cornices, pavilions and pavilions, elegant and open, it is the private garden of Lu He, the commander of Jiangcheng.

However, Lu He's family is all in the middle of Beijing, and he lived alone in the army for a long time, so this place was naturally vacant.

This afternoon, neighbors nearby saw a group of people in black walking in and out of the garden. It was a long-lost bustle, and it seemed that some important person lived there.

"Let me out, do you know who I am?"

"Dare to treat me like this, my father knows, and will blow up your whole family to the sky."

Lei Yan yelled loudly in the direction of the next yard through the window.

Lei Linglong sat on the chair, her face was pale and her mind was out of control.

Sitting under the big tree in the yard, Gu Siyuan didn't seem to hear the commotion at all, and didn't understand it at all, and just focused on what he was writing.

I do not know how long it has been.

Flowers flicker by the wall.

Xie Chenyun lay on his back and said softly: "I was writing this before I left, isn't it finished yet?"

Gu Siyuan turned his head: "I'm back, thank you for your hard work."

"Hmph, how long will it take to clean up a few broken pieces? The shadow guards lead the guards' soldiers to the main entrance, and they should be there soon."

Xie Chenyun puffed his mouth, and sat down on the stool opposite him.

Seeing him like this, Gu Siyuan felt itchy again and wanted to pinch his face.

At this moment, there was a sound at the gate of the courtyard.

The Shadow Guards are back.

I just looked at the wooden boxes that the soldiers moved in one after another, and dozens of people who were brought in with their hands bound.

The commander of the shadow guards respectfully reported: "Master, everything has been properly arranged. All the people left behind in the Thunderbolt Hall at the pier have been taken down, and all the firearms and explosives in the boat have been taken over by our people."

"Good job." Gu Siyuan nodded lightly.

After speaking, he took a few steps forward, opened those wooden boxes, looked at the black things inside, shook his head and said, "It's really a rough thing."

Hearing that, among those captured members of the Thunderbolt Hall, several of them couldn't help but glared at him angrily.

Seeing their expressions, the shadow guard kicked them over: "Be honest, how dare you be presumptuous?"

Xie Chenyun's expression also sank.

He looked at Gu Siyuan and said in a low voice: "These guys are not very honest. When the boat is parked by the river, they are domineering and ruthless, and even bully the migrant workers on the dock. Why don't they just kill them and throw them into the river to feed the fish?"

As soon as these words came out, the group of people immediately trembled, realizing that the person in front of them was definitely not someone to provoke.

Gu Siyuan chuckled, and didn't answer directly, but pointed to those who were obviously better dressed than ordinary disciples and said, "Come forward."

Hearing this, those people were suddenly in a state of unrest, hesitating and not moving.

The shadow guard would not give them a chance to hesitate, and immediately kicked them mercilessly, bringing them in front of Gu Siyuan.

Several people did not dare to resist, or even howl.

Gu Siyuan threw the parchment scroll obtained from Song Zhengqing to the ground, and said in a low voice, "Take a good look at the things on it, can you make it? If you can make it, then you still have a chance. If you can't make it... ..."

Speaking of this, his voice instantly became as cold as piercingly, like an ice field pressing down: "Today next year will be your memorial day!"

Hearing this, a middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears and rather expensive clothes in the group immediately yelled loudly: "You lawless fellows, I am the brother-in-law of the deputy head of the Thunderbolt Hall, and my sister is the oldest Beloved, if you treat me like this, my brother-in-law will not let you go."

Xie Chenyun sneered, this fat man was the most domineering one on the pier before, beating a migrant worker carrying a bag until his head was bleeding.

Simply, he directly raised his leg and kicked the fat thing hard.

The fat man slammed forward like a lump of meat, and his head hit a rock, blood flowed all over his face immediately, and he lay on the ground in pain, unable to get up.

Xie Chenyun walked over, stepped on his palm, and said condescendingly: "If you dare to talk too much, I will cut your tongue off."

The fat man's expression was distorted by the pain, but he covered his mouth desperately and didn't dare to say another word, so he could only nod his head desperately.

The expressions of the other selected people were also shocked. Knowing their fate, they were all tied to the rope now, and they couldn't wait to bend down and lower their heads to open the roll of sheepskin, looking eagerly.

The fat man didn't dare to have other thoughts, and immediately leaned over to look at the scroll with his face covered in blood.

After about half a cup of tea.

Gu Siyuan put down the tea: "It's time."

Xie Chenyun knew that Gu Siyuan probably wanted to test them, so he got up and walked around in front of those people: "Which one of you will answer first?"

Gu Siyuan's eyes randomly fixed on a middle-aged man with a mustache: "It starts with you."

The middle-aged man with the mustache walked a few steps forward slowly, knowing that this time it fell on these people.

These people are afraid of having a big background, and they act without any scruples.

In broad daylight, they can even directly mobilize the local garrison to encircle and suppress them.

The other party doesn't intend to give them other options at all now, and doesn't care about all their backgrounds and threats at all.

Xie Chenyun looked at him: "Be honest, if you understand it, you understand it, if you don't understand it, just say it."

The middle-aged mustache trembled immediately: "I see, I really understand."

Gu Siyuan's expression was still calm, and he said in a low voice: "It's good to understand, don't be nervous, just speak slowly."

The middle-aged man with a mustache slowly raised his head. The young man in front of him had a dignified and stern demeanor, and his expression was as calm as a pool of water.

But he knew that if he didn't answer what he wanted later, the calm lake would instantly turn into a flood and a thousand-layered ice cave, engulfing him completely.

He took a deep breath, licked his dry and white lips, and began to speak slowly: "This drawing is mainly about..."

After a while, Gu Siyuan nodded. In this day and age, to know so much and understand the general principles is already very good, and he is a professional.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, showing a hint of a smile, nodded and said: "It's not a waste, it's useful!"

The middle-aged man with the mustache suddenly let out a breath, and his spirit lightened accordingly, knowing that he had probably passed the test this time.

Gu Siyuan raised his hand and said, "Take me down and arrange a room for you."

He immediately kowtowed heavily with interest: "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

The shadow guards almost rolled their eyes.

It's not the unyielding appearance when he was arresting people on the boat just now.

Gu Siyuan looked at the remaining members of the Thunder Hall again: "You guys better not let me down!"

"No, no." Those people immediately replied in unison.

Gu Siyuan was about to click on the next person to answer in order.

However, the fat man who had just been taught by Xie Chenyun suddenly actively raised his hand and flattered him: "My lord, my lord, I'm here, I understand."

Gu Siyuan looked at him with a cold voice: "Do you really understand?"

Meeting his gaze, the middle-aged fat man was suffocated, but he could only bite the bullet and reply: "Ming... I understand."

He secretly comforted himself: This kind of thing must not be understood by anyone who is not an expert. The young man in front of him looks like he is from a wealthy official family. It has to be about the same as that, and it must be enough to deal with it.

Gu Siyuan nodded, and said lightly: "Okay, tell me what it is and how to do it?"

The fat man hurriedly responded, and explained: "This... the blueprint is for Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt, but it is the kind that can be thrown directly by hand. It can explode without being fired. Well, and this should be done. After finishing, it will be bigger than Pilizi, and then..."

After a long while, he finally babbled and repeated what he said in front of him with a lot of nonsense.

He looked up at Gu Siyuan.

"No more?" Gu Siyuan looked at him calmly:

With this glance, the middle-aged fat man's forehead instantly burst into sweat: "No...no, that's all..."

Gu Siyuan tapped his fingers on the table, looked at the chubby middle-aged man, and indifferently concluded: "You don't understand, you are lying to me."

During the time Xie Chenyun spent with Gu Siyuan, he already knew his character very well, and knew that this meant that he had lost his patience.

His face turned cold, and he raised his foot to kick the fat man again: "Blind dog, who gave you the courage to fool us."

This kick was so powerful that the fat man immediately flew high and fell to the ground with a "bang". Dust flew up, weeds collapsed, and countless bones were broken. He passed out directly.

Xie Chenyun turned to look at the shadow guard, and said coldly: "Drag it out, and feed the fish in the river."

The shadow guard immediately took orders, grabbed his leg as if dragging a rag sack, and dragged him out.

The other people kneeling on the ground saw this scene from the corner of their eyes, and their heart beat instantly, and their breathing became lighter.

I'm afraid that the next person who will end up like this will be me.

At this moment, Xie Chenyun's voice sounded again: "Next."

And then, in the investigation of this person, it was probably because of the fat man's fishing in troubled waters earlier, so he explained the general content of the drawing.

After that, Gu Siyuan started to ask specific questions.

The person who answered was shocked for a moment, took a deep look at Gu Siyuan, and then answered more and more carefully.

After about a stick of incense time.

Everyone finished the inspection.

And everyone also has an indescribable admiration for the noble young man in front of them, and they are willing to let him be the master.

Their masters really understand explosives and thunderbolts.

He even has a deeper understanding than himself and others.

At the same time, they rang out the fat man who was trying to die just now, sighing inwardly, wielding a big knife in front of Guan Gong, his death would be in vain.

Gu Siyuan's expression was still calm, and he turned to meet these implicitly admiring gazes and said, "In the next time, we will make the above things as quickly as possible. If there is a shortage of people or things, just mention them."

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison.

Gu Siyuan threw the thin booklet he just finished writing on the table to them again: "This is the key point I have analyzed. Take a good look, it should make you faster."

The group of people took it, glanced at it casually, and then, as if they had found a treasure, they said repeatedly: "The master is a genius, with this detailed diagram, maybe seven days, no, the first batch of goods can be made in five days." gone."

At this time, there was a sound outside the yard.

The shadow guard came forward and reported: "Master, Commander Lu has come to see you."

"Xuan." Gu Siyuan nodded, and then looked at the group of guys holding books: "You guys should read this book thoroughly today, and start working on it tomorrow, so leave."

A group of people walked out excitedly, just in time to bump into Commander Lu He.

Lu He frowned and glanced at the group of Jianghu people, then strode towards Gu Siyuan, knelt down and saluted: "My humble minister sees Your Majesty."

Gu Siyuan raised his hand: "I'm going out on tour in modest clothes, Ai Qing doesn't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu He leaned back and got up.

But at this moment, those people from the Thunder Hall who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard had already crashed into a ball in a daze.

Just now, what did they hear?

His Majesty?

Their master is actually today's emperor?

Lu He is an official of the royalist party and is quite loyal to Gu Siyuan. He was just transferred to Jiangcheng three months ago.

This time, in addition to the routine meeting, we discussed issues related to defense.

After all, after the war in Ezhou and Huangzhou hundreds of miles away, it will be a matter of time before the Wu family takes aim at Jiangcheng.

Not long after, Lu He also left with a face full of admiration just like those in the Thunder Hall.

Just now Gu Siyuan pointed out several major problems in patrolling in a few words, and even gave him examples to explain them one by one, summing up some fixed guidelines.

He has to go back to digest it quickly, and he has benefited a lot.

But at this time, Gu Siyuan and Xie Chenyun came out of the yard, only those arrested members of the Thunder Hall remained.

These are thugs with no technical ability.

Gu Siyuan ordered: "Take them down and lock them up. Let them work in the newly built firearms workshop tomorrow. If they are dishonest, throw them into the river to feed the fish."

The shadow guard immediately drove these people out. However, a middle-aged man with a bit of culture still knelt and said, "Your Majesty, the grassroots think that the usefulness of grassroots is not to work in the firearms workshop."

Xie Chenyun looked at him and sneered.

Gu Siyuan asked softly, "How?"

The middle-aged man said: "The grassroots want to report the collusion between the Thunder Mart and the rebels of the Wu family on the other side of the river."

Gu Siyuan nodded: "Let's listen."

The middle-aged man breathed loosely, and immediately said: "At present, the cooperation is mainly in two aspects. One is the need for Thunderbolt to assist in the battle for the handed down jade seal, and the other is to purchase a large number of firearms for future siege battles..."

Gu Siyuan had expected this.

He raised his eyebrows: "Is there any more?"

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with the two young masters of the Lei family?"

Gu Siyuan raised his eyes slightly: "Do you have any suggestions?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man lit up: "Master, the Hall Master of the Thunderbolt Hall is a waste who only knows how to recognize money, and is not half as powerful as His Majesty, but the many tools and inheritances left in the Thunderbolt Hall are actually quite interesting. , It’s a waste of these things to stay in the Thunderbolt Hall, and only in the hands of His Majesty can they be of maximum value. And the hall master only has this pair of sons and daughters, he loves them very much, and may play a big role in the future.”

Gu Siyuan nodded, acquiescing to his plan: "Your thoughts coincide with mine."

Xie Chenyun also glanced at him with a smile: "You are quite sensible, you have put all your heart into planning, what do you want?"

The middle-aged man saluted respectfully: "It is the greatest blessing for the grass people to be loyal to His Majesty and serve His Majesty."

Xie Chenyun immediately grasped the deep meaning in his words, and chuckled softly: "Serving His Majesty around? This is indeed a great blessing. This position is already much stronger than nine out of ten positions in the court."

The middle-aged man smiled very humbly: "You have seen through it."

Xie Chenyun found it even more interesting, and continued to ask: "Everyone has a final position in their hearts. The position next to His Majesty is naturally a shortcut to other positions. What is the final position you want?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, took a deep look at Xie Chenyun, and became more humble and respectful from the bottom of his heart: "Caomin has passed the scientific examination, and lost his official position because of being framed. If he can enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the future, it is best to gradually become a servant." .”

He answered almost without hesitation. Obviously, this goal or answer has been pondered many times and has been engraved in his bones.

Xie Chenyun couldn't help laughing.

The goal is very precise, and he does not exceed the rules. He is really a smart man.

Gu Siyuan glanced at him, and said calmly: "Give me a record of the reasons and reasons, and if you pass, you can enter the Ministry of Punishment."

The middle-aged man immediately knelt down and expressed his gratitude: "Your Majesty, Long En, it is hard to repay the grass people."

"Get up." Gu Siyuan said lightly.

At this moment, the shadow guard brought Lei Linglong and Lei Yan out from the nearby courtyard.

Lei Linglong's wandering mind is better.

Lei Yan still looked rampant, and shouted at Gu Siyuan and the others: "Damn things, you dare to treat me like this, I swear, when my father comes, I will cut you into pieces, if you don't With one knife, I will take your last name."

Gu Siyuan loosened the teacup in his hand, and hit Lei Yan's exposed teeth directly, blood flowed instantly.

Seeing Lei Yan crying bitterly, he mocked lightly: "You still want to take my surname, but you will raise your own value."

Seeing him like this, Xie Chenyun also found it extremely interesting, beat the dog in the water and said: "It's true, with His Majesty's surname, and being His Majesty's son, wouldn't he still want to enter the imperial mausoleum in the future? How could the late emperor not think the place was dirty?"

The shadow guards kicked Lei Yan: "In front of Your Majesty, how dare you speak nonsense?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Lei Yan's eyes widened, trembling, as if he couldn't react at all.

The person in front of me is the emperor?

Is it the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

How can it be?

For a moment, he fell into an unspeakable panic.

Lei Linglong also came back to her senses completely, with extremely complicated emotions.

They are people in the Jianghu, although they don't have much respect when they mention the current imperial court in private, but everyone has always kept the water in the river.

They acted chivalrously, killing noble gentry and landlords, but they never killed officials ordered by the court, even if it was just a ninth-rank sesame official.

Because there are certain rules that cannot be exceeded, otherwise, they will only be the ones who feel the pressure.

But now, what they offended was not ordinary officials, but the emperor above Jiuchen.

The emperor is the lord of the people and the lord of the world.

How can the majesty of the emperor be lightly violated? This time, not only the two of them, but even the entire Thunder Hall will be finished...

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Xie Chenyun couldn't help but sneered: "Oh, I know I'm afraid, now is not the time for you to spread the word in Lingxu Pavilion?"

Gu Siyuan stretched out his hand to hold his thin white fingers: "Why bother with them."

"Take the two of them to the dungeon and lock them up in a closed room. Without my warrant, no one is allowed to visit them. It will be useful when the Thunder Hall is taken down in the future."

"Yes." The shadow guard immediately took the order.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let me go, let me go like a fart, I know I was wrong..."

The voice of Lei Yan begging for mercy came from afar.

……

The two arrived here in the afternoon, and later, Xie Chenyun went out to arrest people, and then there were interrogations and other matters.

By this time, it was already setting sun in the western frontier.

The bright moon hangs like a jade plate in the sky.

After dinner, Xie Chenyun put his hands behind his back and leisurely followed Gu Siyuan, strolling around in the yard.

"If it wasn't for today, I wouldn't know that His Majesty knows gunpowder and how to deploy soldiers for city defense..."

"But little Doyle." Gu Siyuan glanced at him and said softly, "In the future, as long as you are always by my side, you will always be able to see more."

"..." Xie Chenyun's face turned red, his heart was as soft as water, and he said to himself: This person is really good at speaking well.

Seeing that the people around him suddenly stopped speaking, Gu Siyuan was quite puzzled.

Xie Chenyun raised his head to look at the bright moon, then glanced at the high roof, and suddenly said to him: "I want to go up to enjoy the moon."

Gu Siyuan was still puzzled.

Shen Yun's lightness kung fu is pretty good, if he wants to go up, just go up there.

Xie Chenyun looked at him, puffed his cheeks, repeated it again, and said word by word: "I want to go up to enjoy the moon."

Gu Siyuan met his star-like eyes, for some reason, seemed to understand something in an instant, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Xie Chenyun's waist, and led them to jump onto the roof.

I don't know if it's psychological.

Looking from the roof, it does seem to be closer to the moon.

The wind was also stronger, and the two sat side by side, shoulders to shoulders, legs to legs, black hair flying in the night wind, and then intertwined.

Xie Chenyun smiled brightly, looked at the people around him and said softly: "Do you still remember the first time we met, you didn't know martial arts at that time, and if you want to climb over the wall, I have to take you out..."

"Remember." Gu Siyuan nodded.

Xie Chenyun puffed his cheeks: "How long has it been since today, and your martial arts have improved so much?"

Gu Siyuan said casually, "92 days."

"..." Xie Chenyun.

Xie Chenyun licked his lips, put his chin on his knees, tilted his head to look at him, and asked a little shyly: "Every day after we met, do you remember it very clearly?"

Gu Siyuan was puzzled by this question for a moment.

However, he has always had a photographic memory, which is not false.

He nodded and simply said, "I do remember."

The smile on Xie Chenyun's face deepened: "Then... did you recognize me at the first sight? So, you went out of the palace with me directly?"

Gu Siyuan nodded: "Yes."

Xie Chenyun laughed softly, his voice was clear and pure, like a stream rushing in the mountains in spring; his slender black eyelashes fanned lightly, like the wings of a butterfly, beautiful and charming.

Gu Siyuan was also infected by this happiness.

He took the initiative to say to Xie Chenyun: "Aren't you curious about what else I can do? Do you want to listen to Guqin?"

"Yes." Xie Chenyun replied loudly and simply.

Gu Siyuan hesitated for a moment.

Because he just suddenly felt that Xie Chenyun's happy voice seemed to be more pleasant than all the beautiful music in the world, so is there still a need to play the piano?

However, when he met those star-like eyes, he still moved and took a guqin from the study below at a very fast speed.

There are no permanent residents in this manor, and the Guqin is also the most common Xiangquan's lyre.

However, the tune is in the person.

Gu Siyuan sat cross-legged, with the guqin across his knees, and his long and slender fingers caressed the strings, and immediately there was a sound of "Zheng", which was clear and distant.

The sound of the piano is continuous and continuous, as cold as a breeze, and as murmuring as flowing water...

Xie Chenyun listened with his chin in his hands, immersed in it.

This is a bright and fresh song, as if walking on a mountain path in spring, with clear streams, deer drinking water, and blooming flowers along the way...

The bright moonlight silently shone on the person playing the piano, coating Gu Siyuan's side face, hair, and clothes with a light layer of light.

The red maple leaves swirled down and landed on his shoulders and thighs.

The song is over.

Gu Siyuan wanted to reach out and brush off the fallen leaves on his body.

Suddenly, a weight from beside him rushed towards him. Gu Siyuan's first reaction was to move the guqin aside to prevent the sharp strings from hurting people.

So, the two fell on top of each other on the cold roof slabs.

Gu Siyuan put his palm on the man's shoulder, trying to push him away.

However, in the next moment, there was a warm touch on his cheek, his palm tightened, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

The night wind picked up again.

The crimson maple leaves fluttered down, almost covering the two of them.

And that warm touch gradually changed places.

Xie Chenyun lay on Gu Siyuan's body, and tentatively licked the thin lips that he had coveted for a long time.

Gu Siyuan: "..."

Gu Siyuan was a little confused about the situation in front of him, whether this was beyond the scope of a fake show, and this meeting was not in the palace.

However, the touch on the lips is really nice.

This reminded him of the taste of jelly eaten in modern times.

With some nostalgia.

Gu Siyuan has always been good at being a controller.

Therefore, he changed the way of communication between the two of them very rationally. He chose to kiss the other party actively, and he kept kissing until the other party couldn't breathe, and he started to pinch him. Then he let go of the other party.

Then, he accused the other party with a cold face and seriousness: "Shen Yun, you started first, I just used the other's way and returned it to the other."

"..." Xie Chenyun.

Is this how the word is used?

……
