palace banquet
At the end of the first year, Gu Yun was still in the northwest border, and the entire Daliang area was bleak and ready to destroy the country at any time.
This year, the whole country came alive with an amazing vitality. Even though the singing and dancing of the past were invisible, the monkeys and children who lined up to buy malt sugar in the streets and alleys had already put on new clothes one after another. During the day, a few firecrackers could be heard, and every household began to prepare New Year's goods.
The collapsed city wall rose again, and the forbidden air net on Qimingtan also opened its stern eyes. The rows of white rainbow iron bows and silent iron golems on the wall watched the uninvited guests enter the city. Beidaying accompanied him and stopped sternly outside the nine gates. In the silent crows, there was a spirit of energy that had been cured by blood and fire.
This year's ups and downs, just with this resurrection, Prince Yan will definitely make the best of his future history.
The car of the third barbarian prince slowly passed through the long street. The bitter cold wind lifted the curtain in a corner, revealing a thin and pale face inside. Then, a hand stretched out from the car and pulled it up on the curtain, blocking the sight of both sides spying on each other.
At this time, Gu Yun was sitting on the Wangnan Tower in casual clothes, with a glass mirror on his nose - not the one he usually uses for emergency response when he gets blind, but a kind of clairvoyance used for long-distance aiming on the battlefield.
Chang Geng and Shen Yi were all there. After a moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a figure flashed in. It was Cao Chunhua, who had become a mystery after Jiangbei.
After Cao Chunhua entered the house, she saw the gift and sat down: "I'm so thirsty."
Chang Geng used to take a big bowl of sea and poured it into it. Cao Chunhua took it without blushing and took it without breathing. He drank it in one gulp. Those who didn't know probably thought he was pouring cold water - it made Gu Yun, the alcoholic, stunned, and felt that he had met a wine turtle.
"Another bowl," Cao Chunhua sighed comfortably, "After I separated from the capital and the Grand Marshal, I went all the way back to the north, following the wind, frost, rain and snow, and I suffered a lot."
Cao Chunhua has had a very good way of disguising since she was a child. She never forgets her words when she speaks Fanbian and can blurt out in ten days and half a month. She was sent by Chang Geng to the northern border for a long time to lurk, because she needed a perfect stand-in when investigating the case in Jiangbei, so she recalled him.
Cao Chunhua brought the second bowl of wine and threw a charming look at Gu Yun, who was a little greedy, and successfully evoked Gu Yun's unbearable memory of "this person twisted his waist to his hips against Chang Geng's face."
Gu Yun silently slapped off goosebumps and looked away with a slut.
Chang Geng: "Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Don't mention, both male and female slaves are included. I can't get close to them in a mile, and I can't catch up with them." Cao Chunhua said softly, dragging her flower-tongued voice, "Oh, I'm going to hide it from you. When I was in the northern border, I once sneaked into the guards of the Calais Yinghuo, and even pretended to be a female slave who was the favorite of the second prince, and I was not found in front of him for a day or a night. However, in the past year, I have never approached the third prince, and I have never seen my true face."
Chang Geng asked, "Can he even take a look at him from a distance when he travels?"
"He doesn't travel at all. The eighteen tribes say that the third prince has a bad disease and cannot see the wind," Cao Chunhua sighed. "Unless Calais himself, everyone else can't see a hair. The third prince himself is the forbidden speech of the eighteen tribes. He lives in three layers of guards. I tried to get in at the outermost side. I could enter, and the second to last level was no longer possible. The people inside were like iron golems, without communicating, but they were all top experts and dead soldiers. I tried several methods, but I had no choice but to almost alert the snake, so I had to withdraw first - Did Your Highness see the envoy who was accompanying me?"
As Cao Chunhua's chopsticks pointed, everyone looked at each other and happened to see the middle-aged man turning around and talking to the guards. He was not astonishing, but he faintly felt an indescribable temperament, as strong as a mountain.
Cao Chunhua: "That person is the captain of the guard of Calais Yinghuo, and one of his most important confidants. He is very powerful. I will not recognize the wrong person."
Several people here were surprised.
Chen Yi frowned and said, "If that's the case, General Cai Yan's news may not be accurate. It is likely that the barbarians were doing a civil strife to show us. The proton sent this time may be because the person who came here is not good."
Gu Yun didn't say anything, and he suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
The two countries were fighting at the same time. It is conceivable that the arrival of this hostage and envoy would not receive any treatment. The three princes and their entourage did not even have a decent person to meet him. Li Feng's order to Honglu Temple was "just do". The Honglu Temple Minister really understood the holy intention and quickly placed the barbarian protons in an envoy station to spread the air. The internal defense of the capital was updated the day they moved in. The newly formed imperial guards surrounded the station on three floors inside and three floors, changing shifts every half an hour, and patrolling day and night twelve times a day.
Everything seemed unusual in those two days. First, a strange and mysterious barbarian proton came, and then Chang Geng got sick very badly - he blew a little cool breeze and actually got a fever.
Chang Geng practiced martial arts all year round, understood some medical skills, and was very good at health care. He was only in his twenties, and he could not blow him down. He didn't know what was going on that day, but the fever came in a fierce way. Gu Yun rushed back from Beidaying in the middle of the night. Chang Geng had already lie down with medicine, and his cheeks were a little red.
Gu Yun looked at his forehead and lay down on one side with his clothes in his clothes. Whether he went home or not, Chang Geng would always occupy half of the bed, and even if he was suffering from nightmares, he would be very honest in his sleep and never get out of the room.
He was afraid that Chang Geng would get a lot of fever at night, so Gu Yun did not dare to sleep, so he woke up immediately as soon as the person next to him moved. He reached out and touched him. He felt that Chang Geng's body was as hot as charcoal and his breath was very rapid.
Chang Geng was a normal nightmare at night. Gu Yun was used to it. Most of the time, as long as he reached out to hug him in a daze and comforted him, Chang Geng would calm down himself. But it was probably because of his illness that night. Chang Geng suddenly showed pain on his face. Instinctively grabbed Gu Yun's wrist, clasped his five fingers tightly, and hummed unbearably, and could not wake him up. Gu Yun had to reach out and pinch a silver needle from the small medicine bag at the head of the bed, pressed Chang Geng, and slashed gently on his wrist.
Chang Geng was shocked and woke up.
But Gu Yun's pupils shrank slightly - double pupils.
However, compared to the chaos of the collapse of the sky and the earth cracked when the Urgu attack last time, Chang Geng was obviously much more restrained this time, and he didn't have any excessive movements. He just stared at Gu Yun blankly, his eyes slightly red.
Gu Yun called him nervously: "Chang Geng, do you still know me?"
Chang Geng blinked quickly, a layer of cold sweat on his eyelashes rolled down, and he said hoarsely: "Why are you... back?"
With this sentence, his eyes slowly merged into one, and the red marks gradually disappeared, as if just Gu Yun had just had an illusion. Gu Yun kissed him, wiped his sweat, and coaxed him to sleep. He was worried. The next morning, he sent someone to the palace to send sick leave, and then found Chen Qingxu.
"It's nothing," Miss Chen diagnosed after seeing it, "Your Highness is in good health, but the weather has changed a little recently. I've been suffering a little cold, and it's almost done after two pills of medicine."
Chang Geng smiled and said, "I said that's true, but he didn't believe it, and he even worked for the girl in a big way."
Although Miss Chen said coldly and politely as usual, she really never wanted to see His Highness Yan King's proud face again - the newlyweds who had just given birth to the first child were not as proud as him.
Unbearable, Miss Chen said goodbye to the two of them in a fairy spirit. Gu Yun personally sent her out. When passing through the deserted corridor of the head of the Hou Mansion, Gu Yun suddenly whispered: "I'm not asking Miss Chen to come today to see the cold wind and cold. He suddenly had double pupils in his eyes when he had a fever last night. I was a little uneasy."
Chen Qingxu immediately fell down seriously and frowned: "Mr. Marquis, please tell me in detail."
Gu Yun said the scene of Chang Geng's sudden attack and then awake immediately, and asked: "What's the situation?"
After listening to it, Chen Qingxu pondered for a long time, lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was carefully recalling the pulse just now. When Gu Yun was a little nervous, she said, "Your Highness is firm in his heart, which is really admirable."
Gu Yun immediately reacted: "You mean that his current awakening is completely suppressed by his will. He was confused yesterday, so he was exposed for a moment?"
Chen Qingxu nodded: "Your Highness has been tortured by Ur since he was a child. He must have been used to it. Even if he fell asleep, he still kept a little awake. I am just worried... He is now young and strong and energetic. If he grows older and his physical strength gradually fades, will he still have this kind of energy?"
But Gu Yun remembered something and said in confusion: "As for the girl, will he have this symptoms if he gets sick, injured, or accidentally eats some unconscious medicine?"
Chen Qingxu: "Reasonable, it depends on whether the situation is serious or not."
"But I don't understand one thing very well," said Gu Yun. "He was injured in Jiangbei a while ago, and I went to take him back. At that time, he lost too much blood from the wound. He was in a coma for a whole day and night, but he was very stable in the middle. Not only did Urgu not have an attack, it seemed that he had no symptoms of awakening from a nightmare."
Chen Qingxu was suddenly stunned.
Gu Yun: "Miss Chen?"
Chen Qingxu murmured: "Impossible, so is it because of Qi and Blood... am I completely wrong?"
Gu Yun was filled with fear and fog.
Chen Qingxu didn't explain. She seemed to have opened the Ren and Du meridians and turned around and left without saying a word.
Gu Yun: "Oh...Miss Chen..."
"Let me think about it." Chen Qingxu said this and drifted away without touching the ground. In a blink of an eye, she was already several feet away and disappeared in an instant.
Shen Yi, who happened to visit, was chatting with Huo Dan and talking bad things about Gu Yun, and walked in from the gate. He had not breathed for a moment. Commander Huo was worried about how to use a method to dissuade this person. Before he could think of it, suddenly, Shen Yi shut up without warning.
As soon as Huo Dan looked up, he saw a white shadow shaved from his eyes like a haunted person. General Shen stood up as a wooden board, and said with a tight grace to the gold, "Miss Chen."
Chen Qingxu was already talking little, and he was as proud as Jindi replied: "General Shen."
After the two of them said hello, they stared at each other for a long time. Chen Yi realized that it was he who was blocking the way, and hurriedly retreated aside in fear and fear: "Please, Miss Chen!"
Chen Qingxu originally thought he had something to say, so she glanced at him for no reason, and then blew away like a white-haired wind.
Commander Huo pulled his ears and led a novel mute General Chen to find Gu Yun.
Gu Yun responded, changed Changgeng an ice pack, making the person grinned, and then went out to pick up the customers: "What's the matter?"
Before Yi could come back from his closed-mindedness, he looked at Gu Yun wandering outside the sky without saying a word.
Gu Yun was very surprised and turned to Huo Dan, "What's wrong with him?"
Huo Dan guessed: "I suddenly couldn't speak, maybe Dr. Chen was mute."
Chen Yi came to find Gu Yun, but he actually had a serious business.
Chen Yi: "The emperor has been showing off the barbarian envoys for several days. He plans to meet the barbarian envoys at this year's and give them a warning. However, the barbarian has a strong voodoo skills. He is also afraid that the remnants left by the barbarian girl back then have not been cleaned up. In order to prevent the rebellion of the Imperial Guards on the Qiming Hall, this time the defense in the palace is jointly responsible for the three parts of the Beidaying, the Dawei Guards and the newly formed Imperial Guards, and they will restrain each other. Please ask the Grand Marshal to take charge of the emperor himself."
Gu Yun nodded. Li Feng was bitten by a snake once, but he was afraid of the rope for ten years.
The this year was so grand that it was almost luxurious, and it was a bit of a demonstration. The guards on both sides were strict, and the generals were all wearing armor and swords, and they stood on both sides. Even their own people thought they had entered a Hongmen banquet.
Gu Yun also saw the legendary third barbarian prince who could blow to death with a gust of wind.
The boy was fourteen or fifteen years old and looked very delicate, but his face was pale and his expression was dull. He never raised his eyes. He had to follow the followers to pick up whatever he did. He was led to the imperial guards as if he was not good at doing things.
The envoy said to Li Feng: "Please forgive Emperor Daliang. The third prince is inherently deficient and there are some rude things during the meal. Please give me more insults in view of his just a child."
Li Feng waved his hand and made them calm, but the boy turned a deaf ear, as if he couldn't understand the official language.
The envoy bent down and whispered in his ear. The third prince was still confused and was held by the envoy, half-held and half-carried, and took it to the table.
Gu Yun had a very good ears and heard someone whispering beside him: "Can these three princes be a fool?"
What does it mean to send a silly son to Beijing as a hostage?
Gu Yun looked at Shen Yi not far away, and his expressions were a little solemn. I wonder if he was thinking too much, but Gu Yun always felt that there was something creepy on the young man.
Just as Li Feng and the barbarians fought each other, the barbarian envoy suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "Before I came from my hometown, I heard that two people under the Emperor of Daliang had to visit. One was the undefeated hero Gu, who was fortunate to meet today, but there was another... I don't think it was at the table?"
Li Feng: "I wonder who the messenger is talking about?"
The Northern Barbarian envoy smiled and said, "It is the head of the six young tribes of the Youth Dynasty, His Highness, King Yan, who has a lot of connection with our clan."
Gu Yun's eyes hopped slightly.
