Qingchuan History

Chapter 839 Mutiny
Gu Chunfeng led Heiyunqi and ten people back to the northern border, and went straight to Tanying's residence. Along the way, they passed through villages and towns after the war.

Hope the mother and son are still there.If everything goes well, they will be able to go south to help Ji Qi earlier.

There is a dead silence in the narrow passage, so quiet that it doesn't look like there are people at the end.

Although Ruan Xueyin's pre-judgment reminded her that when she saw the emptiness of the house and the green crops, she still stayed in the bleak wind at the border for a while.

Then I rummaged through the room to make sure that there were no suspicious objects or letters left behind, and found some books and papers from under the bed—it should be that Gu Jiasheng was still secretly reading and practicing calligraphy, taking Tan Ying as his mother who had to fight for a breath every day. It's really unusual to behave.

She picked out a blank piece of paper, and Ah Xiang found an inkstone under the stove, and it was already dry, which showed that the mother and son had been away for at least a day or two.Gu Chunfeng ordered to look for water again, and the girls hurriedly took a flat spoon to fill some, and poured it into the inkstone.

Chunfeng stirred the ink again with his left hand, and moistened the pen with his right hand, and finally dipped it in, and wrote quickly, with scrawled handwriting.

Sister-in-law can understand it.

In Ruan Xueyin's letter, no matter what the situation is, write back to her; if Tanying's mother and son are away, go to Meizhou to check on the situation of her mother's house.

Now that the first one has been confirmed, it is time to buy time for the second one.

She finished the writing, held the corner of the letter paper and led the people out on horseback, galloped at a high speed, waited for the handwriting to dry in the wind, folded it, and continued to raise her hands in the air.The huge pink shadow swooped down at the next moment, clearly facing Chunfeng but it didn't seem to stop for a moment, and then disappeared into the clouds again.

The girls were dumbfounded, and finally figured out what they hadn't seen in the earlier letter.

"That's Her Majesty's, the Fenyuliu Jinniao?" Ah Xiang whispered.

Gu Chunfeng had already gone to Mei Zhou with all his heart, and answered with "um".

The ten people understood that the so-called important task was actually a decree, and urged the horse to move quickly.Chunfeng sensed it, and asked in a deep voice:
"One and a half years in the army, and less than half a year of garrisoning the border, you will encounter a national war. You have lived and died several times. Are you afraid?"

There are only less than [-] of the [-] Black Cloud Riders left. It is tragic to close the door, but considering the losses of the entire Northern Territory in the early stage, it is considered lucky.Of course, because of the princess team, they were more or less taken care of during the formation of troops, and the girls have started from the great sadness of losing their teammates in several rounds, and gradually grew up, turning each round of loss and farewell into lonely courage, and the more they fight, the stronger they become. Yong, until today.

"I've always been afraid." Then I heard a thin and dark girl say, it was the one who gave an astonishing answer in the school grounds of Jidu in the past, and her name was Xiaohua, "While afraid, at the same time, I developed more strength to kill the enemy, to live, to kill the enemy." Victory, when we really fight, we forget to be afraid."

Xiaohua is small, but her riding skills are excellent, and she has ridden near Chunfeng in no time.

The girls all felt that this remark was appropriate, and some laughed out loud, provoking Chunfeng to laugh too. Looking back at them all with wounds and cloth wrapped around them, they said with emotion:
"If you can persevere until the victory and go back alive, all of you will be rewarded and have military ranks. Our Black Cloud Cavalry will grow stronger day by day, and become the elite of the Qi Kingdom as famous as the Fourth Battalion of the Forbidden Army and the major border camps!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The girls' chests were agitated, and they responded one after another.The night pushed away the dusk and the dusk suddenly squeezed down.

Already driving away from the border, a large area of ​​northern villages that have suffered from wars and fled is covered in darkness.Desolate and desolate, only crows singing at night and circling occasionally give this place a little vitality.

There is an old woman sitting on the side of the road with her head bowed, like a stone in the dark scene.Everyone thought they had swallowed their breath, and couldn't bear it any longer. They hesitated whether to stop, but Chunfeng hurriedly stopped his horse, squatted closer, and called softly.

The old woman is still like a stone.

But at the moment Chunfeng was about to probe his nose with his fingers, he suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes.

A girl screamed in fright, and Chunfeng's chest also leaked half a beat, and he held his breath, but saw that the old man's eyes were cloudy and lifeless, his cheeks were sunken black and yellow, and his furrows were shocking in the dark night.

"Dead. All dead."

The murmur was like a dream, desolate and desperate.

Chunfeng is silent. "The Weiqi who went south earlier have been beheaded and expelled by the soldiers of our country. The three border towns in Weinan are now occupied by me, Daqi. The northern border is safe, and you are safe."

She felt powerless to say that, so what about safety?The most ordinary old man in the world has lost her family and is at the end of her life, but she could have had her children and grandchildren around her knees to support her for the rest of her life.

Brother Nine is right, and he has insisted on it for many years, no matter what others say.He is a superior person who can see all living beings and can compare his heart to any ordinary person.Perhaps the most outstanding person in Qingchuan's 300 years, and the least recognized by the logic of imperial power.

She listened to crows wandering and screaming above her head.I just held the old woman's withered hand for a long time, "Old man, my condolences. If you want, I can send you to a safe place right now, at least you don't have to worry about food and lodging. My name is Gu Chunfeng, and I am Daqi's princess, Junshang's younger sister. You You can trust me."

The old woman didn't seem to understand at first.

Then his cloudy eyes moved, staring at the armor on the woman in front of him for a long time. "Princess. Princess." She also shook Chunfeng's hand with her backhand, and Ye Zhijiang was icy cold. "It's really bad to fight. My great-grandson, he just knew how to call him great-grandfather."

Two lines of dirty tears flowed down her face,

"Didn't your majesty say that he would do his best to keep the people safe and happy, and never start a war?"

Chunfeng also shed tears, "He is. He is. He is sorry. He—"

"I know. I know." The old woman nodded, "He must have tried his best. He is amazing, we have all seen it. Please tell the king, please continue to work hard, and remember the promise to the people. He must have worked hard, He became a monarch at such a young age. When my son was 14 years old, he was still a bastard, and he didn’t know how to be considerate of his parents. Now he will, but it’s too late.”

Gu Chunfeng's vision was blurred. Hearing the voice of the old woman's chanting getting lower and lower, watching her close her eyes, she gradually became silent. Only the crows were still patrolling above her head.

They buried the old woman.

Gu Chunfeng knew that he shouldn't delay for anyone at this time. Ruan Xueyin sent a message from thousands of miles to warn of the possibility of some kind of civil strife.

But she can't get over the barriers in her heart. Only by burying the old man can she gain a moment of peace and find the true meaning of fighting each other on the bloody battlefield.

Who can say that this moment of "delay" is not as precious as conquest?As the world goes through vicissitudes of life, what will be left in the vast history, those who have stood up in the present, will never know, let alone judge.

"Master Ji Qi should receive the imperial team. Xu time is approaching." The girls bowed three times to the grave, and Ah Xiang reminded Chunfeng.

It was too quiet.According to Ji Qi's departure time and the time he claimed that the convoy would arrive, Mei Zhou should have passed by now, and he was passing by here.

But there was no movement at all.

Did something really happen in Mei Zhou?
After half a year of garrisoning the frontier, more than half a month of fighting, and repeatedly studying the map of Beidi, Gu Chunfeng is now familiar with this section of the journey by heart.Depart immediately, and can arrive outside Meizhou city at midnight.

Time flies with the night.

There was a mess outside Mei Zhou City.

The moonlight is dim, and the remains of chariots and horses are everywhere.Gu Chunfeng is a person who has been on fire, and he can see it at a glance. If he looks closely on the horse, he can see the embers of food and grass.

"Is this a reinforcement from the imperial court?" Ah Xiang was shocked.

With ruins everywhere, no end in sight, of course it is, otherwise how to explain this huge remnant!

If the refugees stop them from asking for alms, the purpose of both sides is material, and they will not be so careless as to destroy the root.In such a situation, there must be a third party intervening. Ruan Xueyin's warning came so urgently that there was a chance to turn the tide!
Gu Chunfeng's heart exploded, not sure if half an hour was delayed in burying the old woman, the situation should not be too bad for a while, and his team was only here to help Ji Qi, there are only ten people, so how useful is it? ?
Or would the situation be different if he found the Tan family earlier as told by his sister-in-law?
After thinking about it, the man had already traveled several miles towards the city, and suddenly reined in his horse, and turned back to tell Xiao Hua:
"I didn't meet anyone along the way to send a message to the north. I don't know what happened. You are fast. Take three people back to the camp and inform the generals that the supplies will be burned. The next battle arrangement needs to be considered in the long run!"

Xiaohua took the order and ordered someone to turn back immediately.Gu Chunfeng brought the rest of the people into the city, and the scene of bloodshed was far better than that of the northern counties.

Several people were stunned for a while, unable to speak.

This is, was the city slaughtered?

Looking at the main street, there were no living people, so Gu Chunfeng rode his horse to the government office.The vestibule was deep and silent, there were dozens of corpses in the hallway, and a person was sitting in the depths of the courtroom.

She strode forward, and the collision of the armor and weapons on her body reverberated in the room.

Li Shanshen.

Eyes wide open, staring at the front, I don't know whether it was a breath or a breath.Gu Chunfeng raised his hand to his nose, he was breathless, and was about to close his hand when a rush of air flowed onto the back of his hand.

"Your Highness."

He stared at the front from beginning to end, so when Gu Chunfeng entered the door, he saw her.

"What's the matter? Who is it?"

"There are rebels in the city, and they took advantage of the chaos to revolt. Guo Yi was kidnapped by them, and all the officers and soldiers went, went."

"Going south?" Instead of going north, he went to the south. Gu Chunfeng was so anxious that he asked urgently.

Li Shanshen nodded, and settled in that moment.

"Master Li, tell me clearly, where did the rebels come from? Are they among the officers and soldiers? Or someone's private soldiers? Tanyou?"

This moment becomes permanent.

Li Shanshen no longer felt warm from his nose, and the whole courtroom cooled down rapidly, and the summer of May was coming, but it was like a snowy day.

To the south, to the south.Gu Chunfeng's hands and feet felt cold, and the content of Ruan Xueyin's paper letter lingered in her mind, guiding her mind to Jidu.

Jidu.

There are still 20 forbidden troops in Jidu. Even though there have been dispatches to support the new border area recently, with the prudence of the eldest sister and the general, it is determined to keep no less than 15.

With 15 imperial guards guarding, what can Ji do?
She remembered that Ruan Xueyin had asked her to find out about the rumors of a stroke in the Forbidden Army camp during the rebellion against Wang Xin the year before last. 【1】

There has been no result, as if everything was just Ruan Xueyin's groundless speculation, and she was assigned such an unsubstantiated task.

She originally thought that if there was something inside, Ji Qi should know, because that night she took Shen Ji to the prime minister's mansion for treatment, and he was clearly worried.

But I couldn't ask him directly.And that kid, in order to make meritorious deeds and protect his family, worked hard with all his heart, and almost died on the battlefield several times this time.

If it is said that the Ji family is suspicious, Ji Huan and even Ji Ping cannot be trusted. To Ji Qi, she always has the initial friendship and trust.

So Mei Zhou mutinied, was he a rescuer or an accomplice?
"go!"

There is no way out, no choice, she can only go south and chase all the way in the direction of Jidu.Only those who catch up will have the truth, and if they can't catch up, Ji will have the truth.

After crossing the vestibule, her heart moved slightly, she folded to the west ear room, and kicked the door latch.
