Chapter 141 Murder in public, the prince is assassinated, the army aids, care
Chapter 141: Attack in public, the prince is assassinated, the army comes to his aid, Gu Jinnian kills like a god
really.
As long as he has any violation or is about to violate it, Su Huaiyu can arrive as soon as possible.
Gu Jinnian is very curious, what is the origin of this guy?
It always feels mysterious.
Strength, strength, cannot be seen through.
Background, background, unclear.
It's pretty weird anyway.
"Brother Su."
"Brother Su, please take care of Xu Jian's affairs. If necessary, can you accompany him back to Nanwei County after this Beijing inspection is over?"
Gu Jinnian was still a little worried about Xu Jian, so he hoped that Su Huaiyu would accompany him.
"good."
"But I have some things to deal with. It depends on the situation."
Su Huaiyu agreed.
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Su."
After settling this matter, Gu Jinnian stopped talking.
go home directly.
On this trip to the border, I still have to explain the situation to my family.
After returning home, Gu Jinnian mentioned this matter to his father.
Gu Jinnian's father was fine. After all, he was already a doctor in the Ministry of Rites when he entered the court, so he should serve the country.
Moreover, we were going to the border, and the old man was also at the border, so he wasn't worried about what might happen to Gu Jinnian.
That is, Gu Jinnian's mother, Princess Ning Yue, is still a little worried.
Fortunately, after a good talk, Mr. Li understood and didn't say anything in the end.
in this way.
That night, Gu Jinnian had a good rest.
I'm afraid I won't have much time to rest on this trip to the border, so it's best to replenish my energy.
at the same time.
Daxia Kyoto.
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The sky is like ink, there are no stars, and a bright moon illuminates everything.
Li Shan stood quietly by the pond, holding some bait in his hand and throwing it into the pond at will.
And at the same time.
A figure also slowly appeared in the rockery.
"Master Xiang."
"What is the outcome of this peace negotiation?"
A voice came into Li Shan's ears.
Hearing this voice, Li Shan looked very calm.
"The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Punishment agree to negotiate the terms of peace."
"The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites do not agree."
"It's Gu Jinnian."
"He came forward and firmly disagreed with the peace negotiation."
Li Shan informed via message, his face expressionless.
"Then please ask the Prime Minister to come forward and resolve this matter."
"This peace negotiation is of no small importance and will affect the overall situation."
The latter spoke up very seriously.
"I understand, I don't need you to teach me."
"Just tell the people above to put pressure on Gu Jinnian."
"When I show up, just tell me what you need."
Li Shan spoke slowly.
"Please rest assured, Prime Minister."
"By the way, Mr. Prime Minister, there is one more thing. I hope Mr. Prime Minister will come forward to solve it."
The latter spoke and mentioned another thing.
"whats the matter?"
Li Shan asked.
"Master Leng Qiu did something wrong a few days ago and massacred a whole village of people by mistake."
"We also ask the Prime Minister to come forward and suppress this matter. There is a local official named Xu Jian who is on the list of Beijing inspections this time."
"The prince is worried that Xu Jian will risk his own life to remonstrate."
The latter spoke up and mentioned this matter.
"Accidentally massacred a whole village of people?"
For a moment, Li Shan couldn't help but frown.
Although it is just a simple sentence, what is hidden behind it is not as simple as a sentence.
"It is indeed those unruly people who provoked Young Master Leng Qiu first."
"But the prince has already punished Young Master Leng Qiu for this matter."
The latter spoke up and explained to Li Shan.
"Go back and tell the prince."
"This time, if it were not for the overall situation, I would never help."
"Let him take care of his son."
"These are troubled times, and Gu Jinnian is here again."
"If Gu Jinnian finds out about this, no one will be able to live with it."
Li Shan's voice was cold.
He was also a little angry.
Killing a whole village of people is definitely not a small matter.
Fortunately, the news has not spread yet, especially Gu Jinnian doesn't know about it.
It would be really troublesome if Gu Jinnian knew about it.
"As commanded."
The latter opened his mouth and agreed directly.
As the figure disappeared.
Li Shan's eyes also became a little complicated.
in this way.
The next day.
Daxia Kyoto.
The Ministry of Rites has prepared a carriage, accompanied by 500 elite soldiers, escorting Gu Jinnian and the others.
At this moment.
Inside the town government palace.
Gu Jinnian handed over his secret order to Wang Peng and the others.
"Wang Peng, you must protect Xu Jian. If any accident occurs, report it as soon as possible."
"Xu Jin, you can go to the border with me and bring a hundred elite soldiers with you."
Gu Jinnian spoke and looked at Wang Peng and Xu Jin in front of him.
The two of them have been working as servants in the Duke's Mansion during this period, and they can only be designated as private soldiers after they become marquises themselves.
"The last general takes orders."
The two of them spoke up and immediately agreed.
In this way, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Gu Jinnian left the Duke's Mansion, followed by Xu Jin with a hundred elite troops.
When they arrived at the gate of Kyoto, three carriages had been prepared. Two carriages belonged to Li Shan and Yang Kai. Gu Jinnian was riding a jade chariot, which was a royal guard of honor.
The previous rewards can be reflected from this moment. Officials from the six ministries and the prime minister of the dynasty cannot travel in jade chariots, but Gu Jinnian can.
Therefore, no matter what the emperor's reward is, it is valuable.
"His Royal Highness."
Seeing Gu Jinnian coming, Yang Kai smiled slightly and greeted him warmly.
"I've met Yang Shangshu."
Gu Jinnian saluted, and at the same time glanced at Li Shan and said, "I have met Li Xiang."
Although we had different opinions yesterday, we still have to follow the proper etiquette.
Li Shan just nodded and said nothing more.
"This trip to the border will take at least four days. The Ministry of Rites has made an appointment with various countries to hold talks again in six days. If the results are good and the peace talks are over, we can come back to celebrate the Spring Festival."
"I hope it won't take too much time, so as not to delay His Royal Highness's auspicious date of being granted the title of Marquis."
Yang Kai smiled and spoke.
"If we can recapture the twelve cities, it will be the most auspicious day."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly and explained his thoughts in one sentence.
"kindness."
Yang Kai didn't say anything more and went to sit in his carriage.
And Gu Jinnian also entered his jade chariot.
in this way.
The team set off and headed straight from the official road to the northwest border of Daxia.
Yellow sand rolled all the way.
Yellow sand swept across the sky.
And at the same time.
Xiongnu Kingdom.
The Minister of Rites of Fuluo.
The Minister of Rites of Daijin.
They all gathered in the royal court.
The Ministers of Rites of the three dynasties, plus the King of the Huns, are negotiating in secret.
"There is a secret report that the Daxia Dynasty is dissatisfied with the outcome of the peace talks. What do you think?"
The Minister of Rites of the Xiongnu Kingdom opened his mouth and looked at the crowd and said this.
"It's normal to be dissatisfied."
"This peace negotiation itself is not based on these conditions."
"As long as the Daxia Dynasty is willing to revise the history books and allow Buddhism to enter, the rest is not a problem."
The Minister of Rites of Dajin said that he didn't care about the silver mines, he only cared about these two things.
"Compensation for the mine will be given to the monarch by our Fuluo Dynasty."
"As for the silver aspect, Daikin is responsible for it."
The Ministry of Rites of Fu Luo spoke out.
The conditions the Xiongnu Kingdom wanted were nothing more than silver, mines, revised history books, and the Daxia Dragon Cannon.
Now the Dajin Dynasty is responsible for silver, and the Fuluo Dynasty is responsible for the mines. As for the Daxia Dragon Cannon, no one present has any idea.
"That's very good, but I have another request. I want to set up a defense line outside the twelve cities on the border as a place for the transfer of the territory. What do you think?"
The Hun King opened his mouth and made this request.
As soon as these words came out, the envoys of the two dynasties frowned slightly.
This Hun King is really greedy.
At present, the Xiongnu kingdom has had its luck cut off three times, so theoretically it is at a disadvantage. This doesn't matter. The morale of the Daxia Dynasty is high. They are here to avenge their past humiliation, and their morale must be much higher than that of the Xiongnu soldiers.
Therefore, without the participation of the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty in this fight, the Xiongnu Kingdom would only have a 30% chance of winning.
As for the national destiny, I don’t know how to describe it at all. Fortunately, nothing happened. It was a normal war. Everything is easy to say. If some problems did occur.
For example, after hitting and hitting, a flint fell to the ground and directly killed the Huns' cavalry.
If this happened, the Huns would have no chance of winning.
Under such circumstances, this peace negotiation, even if the Daxia Dynasty does not give anything, will still be beneficial to the Huns.
After all, returning the twelve cities can be regarded as easing the conflicts between the dynasties, and as a country of etiquette, it cannot mess around.
If they dare to act recklessly, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty will not sit idly by.
What I didn't expect was that the Huns were so greedy.
They asked for 80,000 taels of silver, a hundred iron mines, Daxia dragon cannons, and revised the history books. Now the Huns actually have to set up a defense line.
If this is a serious peace negotiation, it is reasonable to set up this line of defense. Now you want so many benefits? What are you thinking?
The Ministers of Rites of the two dynasties were silent. They glanced at each other and could understand each other's meaning.
The scene became quiet.
The Minister of Rites of the Xiongnu Kingdom couldn't help but say.
"Both of you, the Xiongnu Kingdom's defense line is based on the overall situation. After all, who knows whether the Great Xia Dynasty will invade our Xiongnu Kingdom next?"
"If the Xiongnu Kingdom is occupied, even assistance from the two dynasties is a foregone conclusion. The establishment of a defense line is for peace in the Eastern Wasteland."
"I hope the two adults can think twice."
He opened his mouth and his words were high-sounding.
But what he said is not completely unreasonable.
"We will inform the superiors about this matter. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Well, it's good to set up a defense line. I think if the silver, mines, and dragon cannons are cancelled, the Great Xia Dynasty will probably agree."
The two nodded but didn't say anything.
Because they have their own purpose, in harmony with the Lord.
After receiving the promise from the Ministers of Rites of the two dynasties, the King of the Huns couldn't help but smile.
However, the envoy from the Fuluo Dynasty spoke up and mentioned another matter.
"I heard that the Crown Prince Gu Jinnian is coming this time, so you should be careful."
Envoy Fu Luo spoke up, causing the hall to gradually become quiet.
No matter who comes, they will not have such an expression.
But only Gu Jinnian is different, because Gu Jinnian is really full of variables.
"It doesn't matter, what does Gu Jinnian mean? His achievements in Confucianism and Taoism are indeed remarkable, but it is not his child's turn to interfere in national affairs."
"This time, the Emperor of Daxia sent Gu Jinnian to come forward, just to let him take some credit. How could he handle the peace negotiation?"
"Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, has the final decision, but it is best not to offend Gu Jinnian. Just negotiate with the Prime Minister of Great Xia and the Minister of Rites of Great Xia."
The Minister of Rites of the Great Jin Dynasty spoke, his meaning was very simple, don't worry about Jinnian, and of course you must not provoke Gu Jinnian.
After all, anyone who provokes Gu Jinnian will not end well.
"Well, it's best not to provoke Gu Jinnian."
"Just let him show off his qualifications, and I'll just ignore what he says."
"Indeed, ignore Gu Jinnian, there is nothing he can do."
Everyone spoke, and then unanimously decided to just ignore Gu Jinnian.
Soon, everyone continued to discuss other matters.
In the blink of an eye.
Two and a half days have passed.
In the northwest territory, the sky is filled with yellow sand.
The sky is getting dark soon.
The large troops were still galloping along the official road.
For the past two and a half days, Gu Jinnian basically stayed in the jade chariot and concentrated on studying.
Occasionally, when I went to the inn to rest, I would chat with Yang Kai for a while. As for Li Shan, I had never communicated with him.
It feels a bit like being indifferent.
Gu Jinnian didn't care about this.
I don’t expect Li Shan to have any good impression of me, just be myself.
"Hush!"
As the leading soldier reined in his horse, Xu Jin's voice soon sounded outside the jade chariot.
"Your Highness, when you arrive at the Longzhong County Station, you can dismount your horse and rest for a while."
Xu Jin's voice sounded.
Among the jade carriages, Gu Jinnian stood up directly and walked out of the carriage.
After getting off the car.
A sense of desolation came over, and Kyoto in Daxia was the most prosperous place. Even after leaving Kyoto, there were many people coming and going, and the mountains, rivers and trees looked very beautiful.
But most of this northwest territory is extremely desolate. There may not be a tree for dozens of miles, which gives people the feeling of desolation.
The wind and sand are rolling.
Gu Jinnian walked down from the jade chariot, and the inn officials came over to greet him immediately.
After getting off the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian followed the Minister of Rites and walked to the inn.
Longzhong Station looks very ordinary. There are three good horses in the station, and a restaurant and inn are built, which can only provide basic accommodation.
Others are featureless.
Walking into the inn, there are more than a dozen tables in the lobby. There are some people there, but not many. Most of them are martial arts warriors on their way or some businessmen.
Seeing Gu Jinnian and others entering, the eyes of this group of people were full of curiosity.
The elite soldiers walked in front to protect everyone. Their faces were so cold that these people did not dare to look at them.
But the inn officials led the way respectfully.
"Master Yang, I'm just walking outside the inn, so I don't need to eat."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
He didn't plan to eat, and there wouldn't be anything delicious at this inn. It would be better to take a walk outside and appreciate the beauty of the desolate northwest.
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded and said.
"Come here, send an additional 300 elite troops to protect His Royal Highness."
Yang Kai spoke up.
He didn't worry about anyone trying to assassinate him. This place was not far from the northwest. To put it bluntly, it was about a thousand miles away and he would reach the northwest camp.
Where is the Duke of Zhenguo?
If anyone really dares to attack His Royal Highness, half a million garrison troops can turn over the entire northwest territory ten times.
Don't worry about not finding the assassin.
If the assassin is very powerful, he will not be able to escape even if he stays at the inn.
Moreover, who can guarantee that the Emperor of Daxia did not secretly send someone to protect Gu Jinnian?
in this way.
Gu Jinnian walked out of the inn, while Xu Jin and others were closely guarding the surroundings, looking extremely serious and not daring to take it lightly.
The red land is barren and the sky is filled with yellow sand. At a glance, it feels like a moment of sadness from eternity has struck.
The sound of the wind is whistling, and it seems that you can hear the sound of the ancient road thousands of years ago.
I have to say that when the desolation reaches an extreme, it is a different feeling.
Looking at the towering mountains, calculated in millions of years, one can't help but feel the vicissitudes of time and the humbleness of human beings.
Not far from the inn, there is an abandoned city wall, overgrown with weeds, looking desolate and scary.
Gu Jinnian walked towards the deserted city, followed one by one by the soldiers behind him.
"Your Highness, this place is the gate of the Longzhong Prefecture of Chu State. After Taizu unified the ten kingdoms, this place was completely deserted and moved fifty miles away. However, there are still some villages in this deserted city with a small population."
The station official opened his mouth and introduced Gu Jinnian.
This is only part of the incomplete city wall. Looking behind you, you can see that there are indeed some abandoned buildings, ruins left over from the past. Generally speaking, no one will live in them, but some poor people do not have good conditions and can only make do with it.
.
This place is only one county away from Nanwei County. If the peace negotiation was not important, Gu Jinnian would actually want to go to Nanwei County.
Of course this is just an idea.
at this time.
Looking at this scenery, Gu Jinnian came with feelings.
"On the lonely city, white clouds line up, and the eternal desolation lies to the west of the Chu River."
Standing on the city wall, Gu Jinnian spoke calmly and uttered a poem. He did not read the poem completely, but just felt it in his heart.
This is a poem by Liu Changqing, which fits his mood at this moment.
Finished reading the poem.
All the soldiers couldn't help but show wonder in their eyes.
Xu Jin even opened his mouth.
"Okay, this poem is really good."
Xu Jin made a sound and praised him profusely.
"Oh? General Xu also knows poetry?"
Hearing Xu Jin's voice, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but smile as he looked at Xu Jin and asked.
"The general will not understand."
"It's just that everyone says that His Royal Highness is a poet who has been banished to the mortal world. Every poem he speaks is good."
Xu Jin said with a smile.
He was a general, so he didn't know anything about poetry and articles, but he couldn't stand it. Gu Jinnian was really good at writing, and he sounded very powerful.
"Does General Xu have a wife?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked.
"Yes, I'm about to give birth."
Xu Jin didn't understand why Gu Jinnian asked this, but he still answered truthfully.
"My son will open an academy in the future. When your child is born, it will be suitable. Then let him come to study with me. It doesn't matter whether he is a boy or a girl."
Gu Jinnian said calmly.
As soon as he said this, Xu Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes, his pupils dilated, he looked extremely excited, and even his breathing became a little rapid.
"His Royal Highness, this, this is absolutely impossible. The descendants of the last general will not have this blessing."
Xu Jin was indeed shocked.
Who doesn't know that Gu Jinnian is a later-generation saint of Confucianism and Taoism? If such a person were to teach Confucianism, not only would he become a great Confucian, but at least he would be easy to succeed, right?
As a soldier, he understands the importance of reading more. Only scholars can become rulers. Generals like them are called generals, but in fact, the decision-making power lies in the hands of scholars?
Naturally, he was excited, but also a little scared.
"Since you are my son, I will not treat you badly if I open an academy in the future."
"The same is true for you all. Those who follow my son will open an academy in the future. Your children, if they meet the conditions, can be admitted directly."
Gu Jinnian wasn't trying to win people's hearts, he was just speaking his mind.
indeed.
As soon as he said this, all the soldiers were excited, and some of the followers who were not Gu Jinnian were extremely envious at this moment.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness."
"I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince."
Everyone spoke together, too excited to speak.
"gone."
Taking a deep breath and taking another look at the desolate scenery, Gu Jinnian stood up and planned to leave.
All the soldiers followed behind.
But at this moment.
A voice couldn't help but sound.
"careful."
It was the voice of a soldier. He looked into the distance with his eyes like an eagle's gaze.
As this voice sounded.
In an instant, all the soldiers drew their swords, filled with murderous intent. Especially Xu Jin, who stood in front of Gu Jinnian with cold eyes, patrolling the surroundings. If there was any sign of trouble, he would kill directly.
Gu Jinnian also looked into the distance.
It's very far away, at least a thousand meters. If it weren't for the vast desolation here, even some weeds or trees wouldn't be able to be seen clearly.
It's a woman.
He was wearing plain clothes, but his clothes were extremely messy, his hair was disheveled, and he was rushing towards here with a frightened look on his face.
Behind her, there were dozens of figures riding war horses, chasing after her.
"Go and save people quickly."
Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
Let Xu go in and save people.
"Follow orders."
Xu Jin did not hesitate and ran forward with twenty people. Although they did not have war horses, they were all first-rate warriors and rushed forward very quickly.
However, Xu Jin and others did not wait for them to rush over.
I saw that the pursuers behind the woman had appeared. The pursuers seemed to have seen Gu Jinnian and others, and they suddenly drew their swords and wanted to kill people.
"presumptuous."
The next moment, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded like thunder, using awe-inspiring righteousness.
The latter is clearly hindered.
But being thousands of meters apart, the impact is not particularly big.
puff.
Cut it down with a broadsword.
Kill the fleeing woman directly.
Then they turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
On top of the city wall.
Gu Jinnian looked at all this, his eyes full of surprise.
How dare you kill someone directly?
Isn't this too arrogant?
"Come here, catch them all."
"Don't leave anything out."
Gu Jinnian spoke without saying a word.
This is too arrogant.
He had always heard that people's lives were being treated lightly, but when he actually saw this scene, the anger in his heart exploded.
At that moment, hundreds of elite troops went out and went directly to the inn to catch up on horseback.
This group of elite soldiers in the distance are extremely smart. As soon as someone is killed, they run away without giving them a chance.
He also seems to know that Gu Jinnian and others are not little people.
Soon, Xu Jin returned and stood under the city wall.
"Your Highness, the woman is dead and her body is messy. It seems that she must be a commoner nearby."
"The perpetrators have fled, but I watched carefully. They are soldiers, but they are not carrying flags. I am not sure whose subordinates they are."
"Do you want to continue chasing?"
Xu Jin asked.
"Send all your elite troops and continue the pursuit. I will wait for news from you at the inn."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
At the same time, he handed his secret order to another general beside him, Shidao.
"Run quickly to the nearby military camp and send three thousand more elite troops."
Gu Jinnian's expression was cold, especially when he heard that the woman had been killed, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"As commanded."
The latter didn't talk nonsense and immediately led people to move reinforcements.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian walked towards the inn, his face cold.
Wait until you arrive at the inn.
Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, and Li Shan, the Prime Minister, had also been alerted. After asking what happened, their expressions changed a bit, and they were waiting for Gu Jinnian here.
When Gu Jinnian came back, Yang Kai's voice immediately sounded.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
Yang Kai looked a little confused.
"Some soldiers committed murder in public."
"But the person has already escaped. I will send more elite troops to search."
Gu Jinnian answered simply.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Do you know which military camp it is from?"
Yang Kai couldn't help but frown.
"Not sure."
"We'll wait here for news."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. He didn't know whose subordinate this was, so he could only wait for news here.
"good."
Yang Kai nodded and agreed with Gu Jinnian's decision.
However, Li Shan on the side couldn't help but speak.
"Your Highness, I deeply hate what happened, but the peace negotiation is the most important thing."
"Why don't you leave a team of people to investigate and come back to deal with it after the peace negotiation is over?"
Li Shan spoke, this was his idea.
Although I don’t know why something like this suddenly happened, but to survive until death is nothing more than some arrogant and fierce general Hu Zuifei.
Just go back and kill him, there is no need to stay here and wait.
Negotiating peace is the most important thing.
"No."
"I will never tolerate such a bad thing happening."
"And this is what I saw."
"What about those who didn't see it?"
Gu Jinnian looked at Li Shan. He had such a temper that he could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.
"this"
Li Shan was a little silent, but didn't say much. He just returned to the inn and waited.
that's all.
About three hours passed.
Still no news has come.
It's getting a little late too.
This time, Li Shan came out of the station again.
"His Royal Highness."
"If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will delay the peace talks."
"The peace negotiation is the most important thing in Daxia now."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists on staying here, I will go to the border first to avoid being accused by other countries of slandering our Daxia for not respecting etiquette."
Li Shan spoke again.
But this time he didn't discuss it with Gu Jinnian, but gave orders.
Hearing Li Shan's words, Gu Jinnian glanced at him.
But what Li Shan said was right. The peace negotiation was a national matter. What he encountered today, in the eyes of others, was incomparable to the peace negotiation.
But in Gu Jinnian's eyes, there is nothing incomparable.
Take a deep breath.
Gu Jinnian gave the answer.
"Please."
With two faint words, Li Shan could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, even if a peace was negotiated, without him, the peace negotiation would not be finalized.
After hearing this, Li Shan didn't hesitate and left with his troops.
"Yang Shangshu, please go with us, as long as I'm here."
Of course, Gu Jinnian will definitely not let Li Shan go alone. Li Shan is the leader of the peace faction. If he lets Li Shan go, he will kneel down and get the twelve cities back.
This is not the result he wants to see.
"What about you, His Royal Highness?"
Yang Kai was actually willing to wait, but what Li Shan said was right, but he was still more worried about Gu Jinnian.
No matter what happens next, if he is here, everything will be easy to talk about.
"Do not worry about me."
"Yang Shangshu, no matter what, you can't make any decision before I come."
"Your Majesty must have told you, right?"
Gu Jinnian martial arts transmitted the message and looked at Yang Kai.
On that day, Emperor Yongsheng left Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, and what he wanted to say. Gu Jinnian also guessed it.
Just to make sure now.
Yang Kai did not answer, but nodded, which made Gu Jinnian feel relieved.
"Master Yang, pay attention all the way."
Gu Jinnian's words were simple.
Yang Kai glanced at Gu Jinnian and finally left with Li Shan.
Originally, according to the plan, we should have set off long ago. The delay of three hours was nothing, I was just afraid that I would have to wait further.
That's really not good.
After the two left.
In the inn, only Gu Jinnian and a hundred elites were left to closely protect him.
In this way, another three hours passed.
It's almost dawn.
Xu Jin and others have not returned yet.
This is not a good thing. It is very likely that Xu Jin and others are in trouble.
"His Royal Highness."
"General Xu hasn't returned yet, I'm afraid he may encounter some danger."
"His Royal Highness, why don't we escort you out first? If you are really in danger and you go to the northwest border, you can ask the Duke to move reinforcements."
"If there is no danger, General Xu can handle it well. If I continue to stay here, I am afraid there will be danger."
Someone spoke, sensing something was wrong, and hoped that Gu Jinnian would leave quickly.
If Xu Jin doesn't come back for so long, there must be something wrong.
It doesn't matter if nothing happens to Xu Chu and Chu, they are worried that something will happen to Gu Jinnian.
"No, just wait here."
Gu Jinnian understood that a gentleman should not build a dangerous wall, but he did not have no trump card, let alone whether his uncle had secretly sent someone to protect him.
Even if it doesn't happen, if a strong demonic man is willing to take action for himself three times, I don't believe he will encounter any danger.
Seeing that their persuasion was useless, these soldiers said nothing more, but they were still a little nervous inside.
About half an hour later.
Finally, a figure quickly walked into the inn.
"Report."
"There is an enemy attack."
The voice sounded, looking a little flustered, looking at Gu Jinnian and saying this.
I heard the word "enemy attack".
All the soldiers were instantly refreshed, their eyes full of alertness, and even their bows and crossbows were set up.
"What enemy attack?"
The soldier beside Gu Jinnian spoke and asked the latter.
"I don't know, but there's a big army coming, and it's not General Xu Jin and the others."
"And it's coming with force. There are at least thousands of cavalry, rushing towards the inn."
The latter didn't know how to answer, but what was certain was that it was not Xu Jin and others.
"Escort His Highness the Crown Prince to leave."
The entourage stopped talking nonsense and spoke directly, asking Gu Jinnian to leave regardless of whether Gu Jinnian agreed or not.
"That's too late."
"The army has surrounded us."
"Hurry up and release the bullet."
A voice sounded from outside the inn.
Upon hearing this, soldiers immediately came to the backyard and released message bombs.
But at the moment he was released, an arrow swished through the air with a sound, directly piercing his palm, causing blood to flow out instantly, and a scream to be heard.
Click click click click.
All of a sudden, all the doors of the inn were sealed, and a group of soldiers guarded Gu Jinnian closely, armed with weapons.
Some soldiers were carefully ambush behind the door.
"Brothers, protect His Royal Highness at all costs."
"If His Royal Highness is injured in any way, we won't be able to come back alive."
The voice sounded.
He is a loyal general, and he knows very well that no matter what danger he encounters, only if Gu Jinnian survives will they have a chance to survive.
If Gu Jinnian cannot survive, then no one can hope to go back alive.
Even if this matter has nothing to do with you, don't even think about going back alive.
Inside the inn.
Gu Jinnian looked cold.
These people are really fierce. They dare to take action without saying anything?
At this moment, Gu Jinnian was holding a token in his hand, ready to crush it at any time.
And outside the inn.
Indeed, a large number of soldiers gathered, each wearing armor and iron masks, lifting the sand several feet high.
It seemed that there were four to five thousand elites in the densely packed area.
This is no small force.
"On the northwest border, military secret files were lost. We were acting under the king's order to arrest spies who collaborated with the enemy. No one was left alive, only military secret files were left alive."
A strong voice sounded.
With coldness and murderous intent.
In an instant, all the soldiers drew their bows, and a terrifying murderous aura enveloped the entire inn.
"We are the Great Xia Yu Army, and there is His Royal Highness Gu Jinnian in the station. Don't get me wrong."
A voice sounded from inside the inn, trying to negotiate peace with the other party.
call out.
call out.
call out.
The sound of dozens of arrows piercing the air rang out, directly shooting through the speaker.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
They knew that the other party clearly wanted to kill someone.
This is really bold.
"brute."
Gu Jinnian roared in his heart. The next moment, he was going to crush the jade order and call the powerful demon master over.
But at this moment.
A series of angry roars sounded outside.
"You are so bold! You actually hurt the Crown Prince of Daxia."
"Put down your weapons or you will be killed without mercy."
"How courageous are you? Do you want to die?"
The sound roared loudly from a distance, and the terrifying sound of horse hooves sounded, deafening.
At this moment, all the elite soldiers in the inn let out a long breath.
The help has arrived.
Fortunately, Gu Jinnian had sent someone to move reinforcements before, so everything was fine now.
"Kill the spies!"
However, the voices outside sounded again, and the expressions of the soldiers inside the inn changed.
At this moment, a terrifying rain of arrows was shot into the inn. Even if reinforcements came, they would still kill him.
It was obvious that they must know who the person inside was, and they had the courage to kill Gu Jinnian.
But just as arrows rained through the room.
A figure rushed out of the guest room of the inn, smashing the handrail directly. A terrifying force of martial arts swept through everything in the inn, and all the arrows were blocked by him in an instant.
Ding ding ding.
The crisp sound of iron arrows falling to the ground sounded.
This is the king of martial arts.
A King Wu came.
"You are so brave."
"How dare you assassinate the crown prince."
The old man appeared and roared loudly, shocking all the soldiers outside.
"His Royal Highness."
"I, Qian Wei, have been secretly protecting the Crown Prince under His Majesty's order. If I am frightened, I hope His Highness will forgive me."
Qian Wei spoke.
He wore a green robe and bowed respectfully to Gu Jinnian.
"Senior, you are very polite. Thank you very much for your help, senior."
Gu Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his old uncle was still sensible. If he really didn't send someone to protect him, Gu Jinnian would scold his old uncle when he got back.
Outside the inn.
The cavalry fell silent immediately, and the leading soldier even looked grimly, and finally let out a long sigh.
Failed.
"Dismount! Turn in troops."
Soon, the army came and directly surrounded the four thousand cavalry. The leader was a general who told the group of people to dismount with a thunderous voice.
"dismount!"
The latter knew that he had failed, so he didn't hesitate and just asked the soldiers to dismount. Obedience was the best choice at the moment, otherwise something would really happen.
After dismounting, reinforcements came in and directly controlled them. For half an hour, the group of people finally stood outside the inn.
"Changshan Military Camp, guarding general, Li Long came to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince."
"The enemy has taken control, please give instructions to His Royal Highness."
This is the Changshan Army, about four hundred miles away from here.
It was Gu Jinnian's men who came with a secret order. Li Long of the Changshan Army knew who it was. Hearing that something had happened, he didn't say a word and brought 10,000 cavalry with him. He didn't dare to waste a moment.
Just afraid of any accidents.
If nothing happens, bringing 10,000 people here is considered an attitude.
If there is an accident, I will not be able to rescue you well, let alone how Your Majesty will punish me.
The Duke of Zhen Guo was six hundred miles away from his military camp.
He didn't want his whole family to have a good time, that's why he was so anxious.
Fortunately, it's under control.
squeak.
The door of the inn is open.
I saw Gu Jinnian standing in front of everyone, and beside him was King Wu Qian Wei.
"Thank you General Li for your hard work."
Gu Jinnian stood with his hands behind his hands, thanked him, and then turned his attention to another group of soldiers.
His eyes were extremely cold.
The leading soldier had already been tied up. Under Gu Jinnian's gaze, Chang Shanjun directly escorted this man in front of him.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"The general does not know that you are His Royal Highness, but the secrets of the military camp were stolen by enemy spies."
"The general also obeys the king's orders. If he knew that you were His Royal Highness, the general would never dare to do this."
The latter was kneeling on the ground. He did not panic, but explained seriously.
This is an attempt to reduce the impact.
"Come here and chop this man into pieces with a thousand knives."
"All those who have just been attacked will be beheaded."
Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate, he gave the order directly with a cold expression.
Don't listen to the other party's explanation at all.
As a three-year-old child?
Dare to stab yourself?
Then pay the appropriate price.
"His Royal Highness."
"I just followed the king's order. I really didn't know it was you."
Hearing that he was cut to pieces by a thousand cuts, the latter panicked.
He knew he would be unlucky, but what he didn't expect was that Gu Jinnian would be so fierce.
Just cut him to pieces without even giving him a chance to explain.
He was even thinking that after he was caught, Gu Jinnian would definitely look for someone above him.
After you find the person above you and start arguing with each other, the most you can do is to be removed from your official position and slapped with a military stick.
For he who does not know does not sin.
What I didn't expect was that Gu Jinnian would be so cruel?
However, no matter how he screamed.
These soldiers don't care about you, they just grab people and drag them down to death with a thousand cuts.
"Wait a minute."
The next moment, Gu Jinnian spoke again.
"Don't kill him yet. Later, he will be cut into pieces in front of his superiors."
Gu Jinnian changed his mind.
There must be a big shot behind this group of people, and I will take this person with me later and massacre them in front of them.
Moreover, at this moment, Gu Jinnian was completely murderous.
No matter who it is later.
No matter how big his background is.
Even if he is a prince.
Gu Jinnian also wants to be killed.
Even if the emperor begged for mercy in person, Gu Jinnian would still kill him.
"General Li Long."
"Immediately hurry up and go to the border and inform my grandpa."
"Just say that my prince has been assassinated and ask him to send an additional 100,000 troops to come to his aid."
Gu Jinnian's voice sounded, then he mounted a war horse and continued to speak.
"lead the way."
He stared at the assassinating soldiers, his voice cold.
He wanted to see which deity dared to issue such an order.
