Chapter 7 Just One Man
After walking leisurely for a few more days, Gu Lanzhi's physical condition was getting better and better, and he could finally get off the carriage and take a walk when the army was resting.
The army had already marched so far that they only had two days left to reach Kyoto.
Several generals surrounded Gu Lanzhi, talking about how serious his injury was and expressing their concerns.
Although Gu Lanzhi was not the original owner, he inherited the original owner's feelings for these generals.
Looking at the people surrounding him, Gu Lanzhi felt very warm in his heart. He could clearly feel that these people were genuinely concerned about him, without any falsehood.
At the same time, he also thought of his teammates in the apocalypse, and wondered how they would react when they saw him die together with the Zombie King.
In the last days, people’s hearts have become cold and indifferent. It’s not their fault; it’s all because of the environment in the last days. Kind-hearted and saintly people won’t live long in the last days.
But his teammates were all rescued by Gu Lanzhi under various circumstances, and they were all very kind and grateful to Gu Lanzhi.
But after all, they live in different worlds, and there are still big differences between his teammates and the generals in front of him.
The generals in front of him considered themselves both their leaders and their juniors. Ever since Gu Lanzhi entered the military camp, these people had been taking good care of him.
In addition to the fact that Gu Lanzhi is of Gu family bloodline, it may also be because of his physique that is different from that of ordinary people.
Anyway, these people are very nice to Gu Lanzhi, and the emotions they show now are very real.
To be honest, Gu Lanzhi hasn't felt such sincere emotions for a long time.
"That's good now. The general's injury will be fine as long as he takes good care of it. We can return to the court with peace of mind to receive our reward! Hahaha..." Deputy General Zhang, with a big beard on his face, laughed heartily.
Except for the day when he knew the general would not die, he laughed like this before. Today was the happiest day for him. He must be happy to be promoted and get a raise.
Gu Lanzhi's face was still very pale due to excessive blood loss, but he was infected by the emotions of the people in front of him and smiled happily.
"General, um... I... I received some news." The right guard looked at Gu Lanzhi in embarrassment.
"What makes you so hesitant? Be a man and just get it straight." Lieutenant General Zhang looked at the right guard with dissatisfaction.
The right guard glared at Deputy General Zhang and said, "You idiot, what do you know? Don't interrupt me!"
People in the military don't have as many things to do as the civil servants in the court, so they speak more directly. Even if there is a superior-subordinate relationship, everyone still speaks casually in private.
Gu Lanzhi looked at the two of them with a smile and said softly, "We are brothers who have shared life and death together. Just tell me what's going on."
The right guard looked at Gu Lanzhi carefully and said carefully: "General, haven't you always asked people to keep an eye on the movements in the mansion? There are orphans and widows in the mansion, and you have been worried about them.
It’s just that some recent news from the palace made me feel…”
The right guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "General, your brother, the Fourth Prince, has been...very close...to the Fifth Prince recently."
After listening to everything the Right Guard said, Gu Lanzhi recalled his younger brother and the Fifth Prince.
He finally remembered that he and the fifth prince... seemed to have an engagement!
According to what the Right Guard General meant, doesn't that mean his brother stole his fiancé?
Hehe... Great! The original body was fighting desperately outside, and these two dogs actually hooked up with each other?
In the original owner's memory, it seemed that Gu Lanzhi and the fifth prince had been engaged when Gu Lanzhi was ten years old, and this matter was known to all in Kyoto, which meant that his younger brother had done it on purpose.
General Gu died on the battlefield, and Madam Gu also died of illness. The two had three sons.
The eldest son is Gu Lanzhi's uncle. He and his aunt have two sons and one daughter. His two elder brothers, like his uncle, died on the battlefield. His daughter has already married, leaving only his aunt in the house.
Gu Lanzhi's father is the second son, and he and Gu Lanzhi's mother also have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Gu Lanzhi, and the second son just turned ten this year and is still in school.
When Gu Lanzhi's mother was pregnant with his sister, she received the news that his father had died in battle. She could not bear the blow and died of hemorrhage when giving birth to her daughter.
Gu Lanzhi was ordered to go to the battlefield in a time of crisis. Before leaving, he handed his newborn sister to his aunt to raise, and also asked his aunt to look after his younger brother.
This fourth young master is the son of Gu Lanzhi’s third uncle.
My third uncle and my third aunt have only one child, my fourth brother, Gu Shurui.
Gu Shurui is three years younger than Gu Lanzhi and is just seventeen this year. In Gu Lanzhi's memory, Gu Shurui was a timid boy who didn't like to wield swords and guns and only liked to read and paint quietly in his own yard.
He also likes to follow Gu Lanzhi around. Wherever Gu Lanzhi goes, Gu Shurui follows. He is a very close little brother to Gu Lanzhi.
But now... Gu Lanzhi has only been on the battlefield for four years. What happened in these four years that made the little boy who only knew how to follow Gu Lanzhi become someone who dared to steal home when his brother was away?
The generals who were surrounding Gu Lanzhi looked at each other when they saw that Gu Lanzhi didn't say anything.
The left guard said tentatively: "Maybe... it's not what we think. The fourth young master is the general's younger brother, how could he do such a shameful thing."
Deputy General Zhang was impatient and loudly retorted to the Left Guard, "Come on, don't give that guy any excuses.
Everyone in Kyoto knows that the Fifth Prince is married to our General. The Fifth Prince is the Fourth Young Master's brother-in-law.
Knowing that the general was engaged to the fifth prince, the fourth prince should have avoided suspicion, so why was he so close to the fifth prince? "
The left and right guards glared at Deputy General Zhang at the same time, and then looked at Gu Lanzhi's face nervously.
Gu Lanzhi didn't say anything the whole time. He was just recalling the relationships between the characters. Now that they were sorted out, Gu Lanzhi smiled disapprovingly.
He is not a person of ancient times and is not bound by these ancient ideas.
"I have only made an engagement with the Fifth Prince. If Fourth Brother likes the Fifth Prince, just give him to Fourth Brother. He is just a man. I, Gu Lanzhi, will not be unable to find someone to marry."
"Of course he has to! With our general's looks, status and position, the noble families in Kyoto will definitely fight for him!" Lieutenant General Zhang said, nodding his head with a smile.
The left and right guards looked at each other. Although they knew that what the general and the deputy general said was right, canceling the engagement was not a good idea after all, and it would also damage the reputation of their generals.
What's more, the one who snatched the general's engagement was his own cousin, this... would definitely cause people to talk about it.
