First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 522 Returning to Beijing (one more)

Prince Bo is a royal family. Although he can be considered a high martial artist, he is no better than a star on the battlefield like Rong Yao. In the end, Prince Bo was seriously injured in the hands of Rong Yao.

   "The minister is reckless. He was going to catch him alive. However, this person is really difficult. If he accidentally killed him by mistake, I will ask His Royal Highness to punish him."

  This is what Rong Yao said when he walked down the tower and came to Yuantang to plead his guilt.

  Yuantang is still by Gu Changqing's side at the moment, riding a tall steed, looking at his uncle Rong Yao condescendingly.

  He smiled coldly in his heart.

  He didn't believe this kind of nonsense, did his uncle himself?

  Also, don’t kill Prince Bo and wait for Prince Bo to return to the palace to shake out things that are not good for Rong Yao?

  This uncle is really foresight and cruel.

   But, did he really think that without Prince Bo, he would be foolproof?

  Yuantang looked at Rong Yao with a smile but a smile: "Uncle has worked hard. Uncle has done a good job in killing the traitor. When he returns to the capital, the father will definitely reward his uncle for his merits."

Rong Yao knelt down on one knee and said with a look of trepidation and fear: "I don't dare to reward the merits, but only seek to make up for the merits. The ministers are also bewitched by the prince. People falsely preach the imperial decree, causing me to wait and follow him on the expedition... Please be aware of the details of His Highness Six.

   Gu Changqing's thin lips lightly opened: "Heh."

  Rong Yao's face became ugly.

  Rong Yao’s youngest son, Rong Fu, died in the hands of Gu Changqing. Rong Yao had a great resentment towards Gu Changqing in his heart, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.

Yuan Tang looked at Gu Changqing, then at Rong Yao, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle's remarks are serious. How come the truth is returned to the capital, the emperor will verify it. As long as the uncle has a clear conscience, I believe the truth will come. It's white."

A layer of cold sweat oozes from Rong Yao's forehead.

  He didn't dare to look up Yuantang's eyes, he had already felt the threat from Yuantang.

   "His Royal Highness, can you take a step to speak?" Rong Yao said to Yuantang.

   Yuantang rode a horse with him back to the camp of Chen Guo's army.

  General Zhang looked at the backs of the two, and said to Gu Changqing: "General, the person with the surname Rong is afraid that he will fight."

  Chen Guo’s 80,000 reinforcements, plus Yecheng’s 60,000 troops, crushed the Gu’s army too much in numbers, and it must be a **** battle.

  Gu Changqing did not see the slightest anxiety on his face, he said indifferently: "Yuantang will not agree."

  If Yuantang really wants to go to war, he won’t come here alone, and he won’t pretend to be Gu Jiao’s friend when introducing himself.

  I don’t know what Yuan Tang and Rong Yao said over there. Rong Yao almost ran away, but Yuan Tang ignored him at all and directly let the 60,000 Chen Guo’s army withdraw from Yecheng.

  This matter is of course endless. It was a war started by Chen Guoxian in violation of the peace treaty. All the war losses will be borne by Chen Guo. This is tantamount to worsening the situation for the Chen Guo court, which has already experienced a war damage.

   However, this time it can be considered that Yuantang really saw the cruelty of war and the terrible cost it brought.

  If Yuantang was still thinking about starting a war against Zhaoguo one day when he was the hostage of Zhaoguo, then he no longer has this idea now.

  War is a struggle for power among the superior, and it is the innocent soldiers and the people who pay their lives for it.

Yuan Tang once again rode his horse to the Gu Jiajun camp, and said to Gu Changqing sternly: "If you can trust me, I want to take Rong Yao back to King Chen's capital first, and later I will go to Zhaodu personally to apologize to the emperor of your country. Peace talks."

  Yuantang's identity to this day is still Chen Guozhengzi, and he is supposed to return to Beijing with Gu Changqing, letting him go is equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

   Before Gu Changqing could answer, Yuan Tang said again: “But before that, I hope I can go to Yuegu City with you and meet the Marshal and Lord Hou.”

   "Good." Gu Changqing said.

   Yuantang single-handedly followed Gu Changqing to the ancient city of Yue. This magnanimity and courage is impressive.

  However, Gu Changqing found out that he had been fooled when he arrived at Yue Ancient City!

  Where did this kid come to visit Tang Yueshan and his grandfather, he clearly came to see his sister!

  Yuantang went to the wounded camp as soon as he entered the city: "Doctor Gu, I'm here!"

  Looking at Yuan Tang, who didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, Gu Changqing squinted dangerously.

  Gu Jiao’s disease has long since healed and passed the isolation period. At this time, she is instructing several soldiers in the wounded camp to rehabilitate.

  He is wearing the armor of General Chen Guo.

  Suddenly broke in, the soldiers of the wounded camp were shocked and immediately drew their swords by the bed.

   Yuantang twitched, untied the saber around his waist, and threw it to the wounded soldier nearest to him: "Take it."

  Wounded soldier: "..."

  Gu Jiao’s expression was very calm, she only glanced at Yuantang, and then said to the wounded soldier who was rehabilitating next to her: "You continue."

  Rehabilitation wounded soldiers continued to walk forward with crutches.

   Yuantang stood beside Gu Jiao uninvited, and exaggeratedly said: "I am not excited at all to see my Highness, I would not see you if I knew it."

   "Something?" Gu Jiao said.

   Yuantang opened her mouth, and she seemed to be fine.

  He snorted and said, "Don't you ask me what I did when I came to the frontier?"

  Gu Jiao said, "Kill Prince Bo or Rong Yao?"

   Yuantang: "..."

   "Hey, here you are." Yuantang handed her a small bag that she carried with him.

   "What?" Gu Jiao asked.

Yuantang put the baggage into her arms and said, "The Begonia flower box is for you, and the bamboo leaf box is for my cousin. I have to go back to the king to deal with my uncle. Du, you brought my cousin for me."

   "Hmm." Gu Jiao responded.

   Yuantang raised his eyebrows: “Don’t think too much about it. The gift is just to thank you for helping my cousin bring things, and besides... I was only able to escape because of you in Zhaodu at that time.”

Originally, Yuantang thought that he was hiding well, so he didn’t ask Xiao Liulang to know, but he thought about it carefully afterwards. Xiao Liulang was supposed to go to the government office for value, but suddenly changed his way out of the north gate of the capital and stopped at the station. For a while.

  I'm afraid Xiao Liulang found him early and sent him away on purpose.

  Gu Jiao didn’t know that there was another one.

  It was really thanks to Xiao Heng who let Yuantang go, otherwise the battle would not be over so soon, and both sides would have to increase the number of casualties.

   Yuantang said: "Okay, I have said everything that should be said, and I should go, you remember to let cousin miss me."

  Hearing this, Gu Changqing finally inserted the sword he pulled out.

   Yuantang rode a horse to leave Yue Ancient City.

  Looking at his distant back, General Zhang Shen asked: "General, really let him go like this? Chen Guo has 140,000 troops, if he goes to war with us at this time..."

   "He won't." Gu Changqing said.

  Jiaojiao believes in him, then he believes in him too.

  Gu Jiao came out of the wounded camp and saw Gu Changqing waiting at the door at a glance.

  "Are you here to change the dressing?" Gu Jiao asked.

  Gu Changqing said solemnly: "...Hmm."

Gu Jiao took him to the camp next door and used scissors to cut the gauze of his hands. This was not the injury he suffered when he held the red tasseled gun to protect Gu Jiao who was out of control when he first came to the ancient city of Yue. The old lair was looking for Gu Jiao's injuries.

  Gu Changqing lightly revealed about that day, but the process is far more difficult and complicated than imagined.

  He learned from his staff that the map of the former army’s lair and secret roads was true, but the map was broken, and the wooden bridge leading to the lair was destroyed by Huangfuzheng.

  Gu Changqing stood on the cliff for a long time, making sure that unless he had wings, he would never pass by with light effort.

  He planned to descend first, go around at the foot of the mountain, and then climb to the top of the opposite mountain.

  The hardship is naturally self-evident.

  Fortunately, although the map is crippled, the general orientation is correct. He climbed arduously on the cliffs and almost fell into the abyss several times.

  At that time, he had only one thought in his mind, he wanted to live, and live to find his sister.

  The wound on his hand was left when he climbed the cliff, and he has not healed so far. He led soldiers to fight again and repeatedly tore.

  In Gu Changqing's opinion, this kind of injury is nothing. It's not that Gu Jiao is here. He doesn't bother to change the dressing.

   "You can't get hurt anymore, or your hands will be useless." Gu Jiao said solemnly while changing her dressing.

  Gu Changqing smiled softly: "Well, no, the battle is over."

   "The thread here can be removed." Gu Jiao said, looking at the wound on the back of his left hand.

  Gu Changqing obediently stretched out her hand.

  Gu Jiao took out the sterilized scissors: "There will be a little pain."

  Gu Changqing said: "It won’t hurt, and your stitches won’t hurt."

  There is no anesthetic, so it's strange that it doesn't hurt.

  Referring to this, Gu Jiao's hand paused.

  After escaping from the mountains, she stitched up the wound for Gu Changqing. At that time, it happened that a wounded soldier was in urgent need of stitching.

  However, there is only one anesthetic in the small medicine box.

  Gu Changqing gave the anesthetic to the wounded soldier on the grounds that he didn’t need it. He is a martial artist, and his body is inevitably injured. He occasionally needs to drink some ma boiling soup when he is seriously injured.

  Gu Jiao couldn't help but remember when she first came to Beijing, when she sutured Gu Changqing's wound for the first time, there was no anesthetic in the small medicine box.

  She didn't think too much at that time, now think about it, maybe the small medicine box has determined that the patient is intolerant to anesthesia.

  So all of his injuries, large and small, were stitched without anesthesia at all?

  Gu Changqing stared at Gu Jiao and smiled gently: "It doesn't hurt, really."

   "Hmm." Gu Jiao replied very solemnly, but the movements on her hands were much lighter.

  The battle is over, and the plague patients have recovered. Then it is time for Gu Jiao and his party to return to the capital.

  Tangyue Mountain left part of the defenders, and Gu Changqing also left 20,000 Gu Jiajun to coordinate the post-disaster reconstruction of the three cities.

  The prefects of Beiyang City and Yecheng were killed. The court issued an edict overnight and appointed two new prefects.

  After the new prefects arrived at their respective residences, the Gu family army and the court defenders were also ready to go.

   Princess Ning'an is going to return to Beijing with them.

  It is the task of Lord Hou to save Princess Ning'an and return to Beijing. Now Lord Hou is still in bed to recuperate, so Gu Changqing asked Princess Ning'an to show her.

  In the wing room of the Prefect’s Mansion, Gu Changqing met Princess Ning’an in the study.

  Princess Ning'an has stayed in her room ever since she came down from the mountain, and she never went out or talked to others.

  Gu Changqing understands that the remnants of the previous dynasty have dealt a great blow to her, and never mentions the war and the horse in front of her.

  Gu Changqing bowed his hand and said sternly: "We will leave for Beijing tomorrow morning. I wonder if the princess has anything else to order?"

  Princess Ning'an stared at the snowy scenery outside the window, and for a long while, she muttered: "Can I go to Jicheng on the way back to Beijing... to pick up someone?"

  Speaking, she seemed to be afraid of trouble Gu Changqing, she said again, "It doesn't need too many people, just a few people, and it's not difficult for him to answer."

  Gu Changqing almost knew who the person to be picked up was. He said, "Weichen will go there in person."

"I also need to go!"

  In another wing of the Prefect’s Mansion, Gu Chengfeng, who had removed the splint on his arm and recovered his vigor, said frantically.

  He finally recovered from his injury, and planned to go to the battlefield to fight heartily, but was told that Chen Guo had fallen!

  He has just joined the Gu family army, so he has taken on a name for nothing!

  The main thing is to let the eldest brother witness his strength.

   "Okay." Gu Changqing responded.

  Gu Chengfeng was excited all night, and finally waited until he was able to go on a mission with his elder brother. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the barracks fully armed, he saw Gu Jiao beside his elder brother.

  Gu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned black: "Is she going too?"

   Isn’t it just me?

  Why do you need one more girl for the honor of fighting side by side with your eldest brother!

   "Get on the horse." Gu Changqing patted his mount and said.

  Huh, this is pretty much the same.

  Gu Chengfeng licked his mouth and walked over to his elder brother’s mount. He had been greedy for his elder brother’s mount for a long time. Apart from his grandfather’s horse, his eldest brother’s horse was the best.

   is better than a horse snatched from a consort.

   "It's not you." Gu Changqing ruthlessly blocked him, hugged Gu Jiao by her waist, gently placed it on the horse's back, and said softly, "Sit firmly."

  Gu Jiao nodded.

  Gu Changqing turned over and sat on Gu Jiao's horse.

  Then the two of them left!

  Leaves a bewildered look of Gu Chengfeng: "..."

Hey!

  Have you forgotten something!
