, Chapter 47(1/2)
It was raining heavily, and tens of thousands of troops lined up on this slightly slow slope, and yellow mud rolled up under his feet not long after.
The war horse was impatiently kicking the horse's hooves, and its horse's hair was wet with heavy rain. The general on the horse's back pulled the reins and tried to calm the war horse.
All the soldiers were covered in rain.
Xiao Jue was wearing a black gold armor and sat on the sweat-blooded horse. The guards on both sides held canopies to cover him up the pouring rain, but the effect was very little, and a large area of his body was still wet by the rain.
The flooding water separated the low ground in the middle. The Anwang army opposite had already set up a temporary wooden platform. The man in white was tied to the punishment rack of the platform. The heavy rain soaked his clothes. He lowered his head and his long wet hair covered his face, making it difficult for people to recognize whether this person was Gu Linyuan.
Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Didn't I tell you to send someone to look after Gu Linyuan?"
Wang Jing, who was riding a green horse behind Xiao Jue's left, said ashamed: "Wei Zhi had just received the news. Gu Linyuan knocked out the guards guards who were guarding him, and even the shadow guards in the dark were knocked down by him, so he escaped..."
Xiao Jue's eyes became a little cold.
There was no dog son in the general's family. Gu Linyuan's martial arts were taught by Gu Yanshan. He went up the mountain to learn skills in his early years, so his kung fu was naturally good. If it weren't for the Yang Xiang party's hindrance and there was a problem with the way to transport food and grass, he would not have been wiped out.
Xiao Jue looked at the man tied to the punishment rack opposite, and his lips were pursed into a cold straight line. He gave Gu Linyuan a way of life, if he was still obsessed with it...
"Your Majesty, do we need to do it?" Wang Jing lowered his voice.
They were not at the forefront with Gu Yanshan, but at a higher slope.
Wang Jing was not sure about Gu Yanshan’s final choice. The safest way was to kill Gu Linyuan at this moment.
Xiao Jue scolded "stupid".
He glanced at the army lined up next to him and said, "Find out a loud voice."
Wang Jing was confused, but since Xiao Jue gave this order, there was naturally his reason. Wang Jing held his fists and took the order and walked over to let the young generals in the nearby team find the loudly voiced soldiers.
The soldiers were taken to Xiao Jue and were still a little scared.
Xiao Jue said only: "Call to the other side, let Gu Linyuan go, and leave King An with a complete body."
In this situation, he must first stabilize Gu Yanshan. If they killed Gu Linyuan at this time, I am afraid that Gu Yanshan will have a knot in his heart for the rest of his life.
A man has a family, country and the world, and the first thing he bears is the word "family".
The art of an emperor depends not only on majesty, but also on kindness.
The soldiers called out of the line nodded, but before they could open their voices, they heard a thick voice in front of the camp resounding across the river:
"Everyone in the government and the country knows that my son had already died outside the pass before the New Year, buried in the wind, sand and heavy snow! Even if he was defeated in that battle, he died to defend Dahan! He deserves the king, the people of the world, and the ancestors of the Gu family! Don't say anything wrong with the rats!"
Gu Yanshan's old face was grim, and every fold on his face was extremely deep, like a character deeply engraved in the inscription, solemn and majestic.
He sat on the horse's back, even though his hair was gray and his waist was straight, like a majestic and inaccessible mountain.
When Xiao Jue heard Gu Yanshan’s words, he was slightly stunned, and then he tightened the reins of the sweat-blooded BMW.
Wang Jing's expression was also a bit complicated, but he was more respectful.
Gu Yanshan gave up his only son.
When King An on the opposite side heard this, he burst into laughter like a sarcastic moment.
King An was the younger brother of the late emperor. Because his mother's family was strong, he became the king when he became an adult and took his mother back to his fiefdom.
Although he was a royal relative, he did not have the noble character of the royal family at all, but instead was full of banditry.
He was more than nine feet tall, covered in bright light armor, his face was extremely tough, his beard was growing, and he looked a little more rough.
"Gu Yanshan, you don't want your own son to be a lackey for the little emperor?" King An sarcasticly said: "You are just such a son. If you really die, no one will die for you a hundred years. What's the difference between you General Gu and those rootless eunuchs in this life?"
After saying that, he started to laugh wildly.
The soldiers under his command also laughed.
No one in Gu Yanshan's hands knew that Gu Linyuan was still alive except for his own personal guards.
Several generals who respected Gu Yanshan as their army could not hear that their heads were slandered like this, and cursed: "I heard that you, a thief, lived in the remote area of Yingzhou. My heads and generals lived in a military life to defend Dahan for half their lives, and the major general was even more dead outside the pass to protect the country. In the end, they were ridiculed by you, a thing that was worse than that of pigs and dogs! The people in the south of the Yangtze River were living in poverty. How capable were you to rebel when Your Majesty came to Jiangnan to control the water? Why didn't you see you leading your troops to fight?"
These words instantly aroused the morale of the soldiers in Gu Yanshan's hands. Eighty thousand soldiers shared their hatred for the enemy and shouted: "Capture King An! Destroy the rebels!"
"Capture King An and destroy the rebels!"
"Capture King An and destroy the rebels!"
King An didn't expect the scene to turn out like this in the end. He grinned and said, "Since General Gu does not admit that this is Gu Linyuan, then I will cut off this man's head as a chamber pot!"
He strode to the front of the siege and kicked Gu Linyuan in the abdomen.
Gu Linyuan has been in a semi-coma all the time. He can hear what King An and Gu Yanshan said, but because of the effect of the medicine, he can't wake up.
King An's ruthless kick stimulated his pain nerves, and finally made him weak and lifted his eyelids.
Gu Linyuan looked at the green carriage under the high platform, and pulled the corners of his lips with some self-deprecating swaying, his eyes turned red, and rain flowed down his cheeks, making it impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears.
This morning, he accidentally overhearded the soldiers who delivered food and talked about the emperor's desire to use water to trap An Wang's party on Panyun Peak, and then he would catch them all. Knowing that Su Ruyi was in the hands of An Wang, he thought Su Ruyi was forced to stay by An Wang's side, so he escaped and sneaked into Panyun Peak to take Su Ruyi away.
When he went to Panyun Peak to find Su Ruyi, he still remembered her pitiful eyes at that time. He felt very pity. Su Ruyi said she was willing to go with him. It was raining heavily outside and he was wet with his clothes. She poured him a bowl of hot tea, but unexpectedly he fell to the ground after drinking the bowl of tea.
Before he fell into a coma, he asked her why.
She smiled calmly and indifferently: "The emperor killed my father. He is my enemy, but your father is loyal to my enemy. Can we still have any consequences?"
Yes, can there be any results between them?
He was willing to give up everything for her, even if he was still alive, his parents would not dare to recognize her. He just wanted to take her far away and live in seclusion in the mountains.
But she is no longer the Su Ruyi in the past. Her only goal of living now is to take revenge.
If he opposes her, then he will be her enemy. If he supports her, he will be an enemy with his father. If he is a bystander, then he will be just a passerby in her heart.
When King An saw Gu Linyuan staring at the green-paned carriage, he knew that he was looking at Su Ruyi.
King An smiled bloodthirstyly and punched Gu Linyuan in the abdomen. Gu Linyuan felt that his internal organs were almost broken by this punch, and his mouth was bitter. He opened his mouth, but he only spit out a large mouthful of blood.
The curtain of the Qingpeng carriage seemed to move.
King An raised his face and patted him in a humiliating manner: "Gu Linyuan, you are indeed worse than a mess when you are alive. Your father doesn't recognize you, and your beloved woman looks down on you. I will kill you today, which can be regarded as a relief."
Gu Linyuan looked at the other side of the rapids through the layers of rain.
Gu Yanshan also happened to look here. In the heavy rain, the father and son looked at each other speechlessly.
Gu Yanshan has a big river and a mountain in his pupils, and his eyes are strong and majestic, suppressing that sadness.
Gu Linyuan was tied to the punishment rack and could not kneel down. His lips moved, and even King An, who was standing next to him, could not hear clearly what he was saying.
Gu Yanshan, on the other side of the torrent, closed his eyes, tried hard to cover up the sadness in his voice, and shouted: "Give me my bow! How could my son be pretended to be like this unknown junior!"
Soon, soldiers took a bow and arrow.
Gu Yanshan bent his bow and arrow, aiming at Gu Linyuan who was tied to the punishment frame, but his hands were trembling slightly.
With a "swish", the sharp arrow shot out. In the moment, Gu Yanshan left his face.
The two armies are far apart. If an ordinary archer is not able to shoot the arrows released, it is because Gu Yanshan's arm strength is amazing, so that the arrow hit Gu Linyuan's left chest.
The warm blood squirted An Wang's face.
Gu Linyuan closed his eyes peacefully and his head softly.
King An was like an angry leopard, his facial features were distorted, and he pointed at Gu Yanshan and shouted: "Gu Yanshan, you have a good fortune, your own son can do it!"
"boom--"
A thunder exploded in the sky.
The rain became stronger and the floods surged. It was just a shallow basin that was only half a waist deep, but now the water level can reach the neck.
If the two armies start war at this time, they are afraid that they will be washed away by the flood before they are killed by the enemy.
The flood flooded the bend of the war horse's legs, and the war horse stomped its hooves anxiously, wanting to go high.
The water was so scattering that King An expected Xiao Jue did not dare to cross the river by force, so he yelled with anger: "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and retreat to the top of the mountain!"
There was a landslide on the steep slopes on Xiao Jue, and he also ordered the soldiers to return to the camp first.
The army withdrew in an orderly manner, and Wang Jing was about to ask Xiao Jue to leave soon, but saw Xiao Jue staring at the Old General Gu who was standing on the spot on horseback.
Wang Jing said: "General Gu is a blessing for great righteousness."
Xiao Jue's eyes fell on Gu Linyuan, who had not been collected yet. The flood came over. It was difficult for the people of An Wang and his party to escape back to the mountain by themselves, and no one wanted to fight a corpse.
Xiao Jue's eyes were faint, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he said, "Look for a good-looking past, bring the body back. Then call the imperial physician."
Wang Jing felt it was a bit incredible. In order to achieve this, Gu Yanshan helped him bring his son's body back to him. He could understand how to bring Gu Linyuan's body, but why is it that His Majesty asked someone to invite the imperial physician over?
Wang Jing was unable to understand and did not dare to ask too much, but only took the order to find someone. With such a water situation, even if there were good people in the army who knew water, they would not dare to go there.
He then sent people to the victims to ask, "Those who were born in the water town of Jiangnan and lived on water skills are much better than those in the army."
Someone is willing to come and help this question.
Ye Jiannan received the news and also brought a group of people from the world in his hands to come over.
When the local victims saw the rolling flood, they all shook their heads and said that the water was too strong and could not pass.
Ye Jiannan asked a short man who followed him: "Old man Yu, are you sure?"
The short man was thin and had extremely sharp eyes. He looked at the water and said, "The past can pass, but the water is too strong. When he reaches the other side, he was washed to the river bank below."
