After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince
Chapter 23: Battle at Nanguan
"Girl, if you are not happy practicing archery with Master Yuan, don't force yourself." Xiao Zhu looked at Helan Xuenuo with a worried look on his face.
Helan Xuenuo had just said goodbye to Yuan Xu and was walking towards her yard with Xiao Zhu.
"I used to have some prejudice against Yuan Xu, but after getting to know him, I found that he is a good person. Although I will break off the engagement with him sooner or later, he is indeed a good person..." Helan Xuenuo looked at Xiao Zhu again when she said this. She gently poked Xiao Zhu's forehead and said, "You rolled your eyes so hard today. Don't do that again in the future."
Xiao Zhu laughed and said, "I know, good girl, if we girls think someone is good, then he must be a good person."
As they were talking, they had already arrived in the yard. There was a man waiting in the yard blocking their way. This man looked very familiar. He was wearing armor and had a very upright posture.
"Young General Mu Kong, why are you here?" Xiao Zhu shouted in surprise.
Mu Kong turned towards them, his expression very serious. "A letter came from the border that the Ulan Kingdom is leading an army of 100,000 towards the South Pass. The old general has been ordered to set off immediately. The old general asked me to take you to the meeting hall. He has something to tell you."
"Let's go."
This battle was the Battle of Nanguan. Wulan Guo led an army of 100,000 to attack Nanguan. Not only did my father and mother go to this battle, but Gu Shicheng also asked to fight. He led 20,000 cavalry to attack the enemy's hinterland at night, defeating them. He was rewarded for this battle.
The title originally inherited from the old prince had no real power.
After this battle, His Majesty bestowed upon him the title of "King of Ding'an" and awarded him fiefdom.
The emperor, considering that the old prince died early, told Gu Shicheng that he did not have to go to the fiefdom immediately, but could wait until a hundred years later.
But later on, Gu Shicheng was devoted to protecting Qi Didi. After Gu Yanli ascended the throne, he passed away before he could order Gu Shicheng to go to his fiefdom.
After Qi Didi's eldest son, the little prince, ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable. Only Gu Shicheng held power and could suppress the gossips of the court and the public. So he did not go to his fiefdom, but instead assisted Gu Yanli and Qi Didi's son, the little emperor.
But what's funny is that Qi Didi suspected that Gu Shicheng would seize the throne and actually wanted to kill him.
Gu Shicheng escaped the assassin sent by Qi Didi. When he learned from the assassin that the person who sent him was Empress Dowager Qi, he was heartbroken and broke into the palace at night and went straight to Empress Dowager Qi's palace. "My life has been completely ruined by you. I am not interested in many things in this world, including the throne. Do you believe it?
I never wanted to seize the throne. Even Helan knew this, but you are suspicious of me?
You are the only one in my heart. I have protected you for so many years, but in the end, all I got was your suspicion of me. You want to kill me? It's ridiculous. Di'er, I really regret it.
That day, she saw Gu Shicheng's face was pale and he was emaciated, and he ended his life with a glass of poisoned wine.
He loved her deeply and was willing to die to prove his innocence.
Qi Didi's life was indeed not in vain. She became the most noble woman in the world. She could trample on everyone, even Gu Shicheng who loved her deeply.
However, what happened between them involved the Helan Mansion and Helan Xuenuo. Gu Shicheng never said goodbye to Helan Xuenuo until his death, and did not even leave a word for her.
While she was thinking, Mu Kong had already brought her to the meeting hall.
Portraits of Guan Gong, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others are hung in the hall. On the long table in the middle, there is a sand table that is eight feet long and five feet wide.
General Helan and the old lady were sitting on chairs, wearing armor, looking like they were ready to go into battle.
Mu Kong and Xiao Zhu were waiting outside the hall wisely. Xiao Zhu was looking around and occasionally stole a glance at Mu Kong, while Mu Kong's eyes were fixed on the front.
Xiao Zhu was about to say something, but after looking at Mu Kong, he closed his mouth again.
After a while, she couldn't help but say, "Young General Mu Kong, be careful in this battle. I'll wait for you to come back."
Mu Kong nodded very slightly, with no expression on his face. Xiao Zhu felt that Mu Kong was very tactless. She closed her mouth and stood quietly beside him.
In the meeting hall, Helan Xuenuo bowed deeply to the old general and the old lady. "Father and mother, I was ignorant before. I didn't know how many people were needed to protect this vast land to achieve the peace it has today. Father and mother, please take care of yourselves! When your daughter has learned her lesson, I will accompany you to fight against all enemies and kill six generals."
"Pooh, pooh...this child, your parents are not so old that they can't protect you as a daughter." After Madam Helan finished spitting, she looked at Helan Xuenuo with a kind face.
The old general smiled with emotion and said, "My dear daughter, your words are enough."
In an instant, his eyes grew serious again. "Father has something to tell you. Since the Crown Prince's death, His Majesty has yet to appoint a successor. The court has been turbulent lately, and Father and Mother are away these days and can't watch over you. If you need help, just go to the Yuan Mansion for help. I'll ask for leave from the Shangshu Office for you and Di'er, so you won't be going there anymore. If you run into the Second Prince out on the street, Father wants you to stay away from him. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Daddy. You and Mom can go without worry. I am no longer the same person I used to be." Helan Xuenuo didn't understand why her father asked for leave from the Shangshufang for her and asked her to stay away from the Second Prince Gu Yanli. It seemed that everything was traceable. The Second Prince must be trying to win over her father to his side.
Madam Helan touched Helan Xuenuo's head, her eyes full of love, "No matter how old you are, you are still your parents' child."
"Departure."
General Helan's deep voice was heard, and loud cheers were heard outside.
Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu escorted General Helan and the old lady to the outside of the mansion, and Mu Kong followed behind them.
The sky darkened, as if it was stained with ink. The soldiers outside the palace held up torches, fighting against the darkness. The burning smoke rose into the sky and broke through the sky.
To her surprise, Gu Shicheng was also waiting outside the mansion in armor. He no longer had the feminine look of the past, but rather a frightening majesty. He matched the night very well, and was equally gloomy.
In her previous life, when her parents set off, she did not see them off.
At this moment she felt a little regretful that she had come out to see him off.
Gu Shicheng looked at her with disdain and moved his lips, "Miss Helan, are you here to see me off too?"
Helan Xuenuo raised the corner of her mouth without a trace of smile, "Yes, my Lord, have a safe journey, and please don't die on the battlefield."
Helan Xuenuo walked over to Gu Shicheng's horse and whispered this.
Gu Shicheng shook his head and chuckled.
Helan Xuenuo felt that his smile was disgusting. When she turned around, she found Mu Kong standing behind her, staring at Gu Shicheng, but there was no fear in his eyes.
She suddenly began to admire Mu Kong.
Helan Xuenuo walked up to Mu Kong and warned him, "Young General Mu Kong, swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. Please help me pay more attention to my father and mother. Also, you must return safely."
Helan Xuenuo knew that they would return safely, but she still said these unnecessary words. She knew that only by saying them would she feel at ease. After all, some of Gu Shicheng's actions in this life were beyond her control.
Mu Kong bowed and replied, "Don't worry, young lady. We will win this battle and return safely."
Mu Kong looked only a few years older than Xiao Zhu, but he had been through many battles. His face had a maturity and calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
After the team left in a mighty manner, Xiao Zhu was muttering to herself. Helan Xuenuo was curious because no one had bothered her for a while.
"what happened?"
"Miss, when I said I was safe to Mu Kong, she ignored me. Miss, you said you were safe to him, and he even saluted you. I really can't understand it."
Helan Xuenuo knew Xiaozhu's girlish thoughts and she laughed. When Xiaozhu saw that Helan Xuenuo was laughing at her, she lowered her head in shame, looked at the floor uncomfortably, and picked her fingers.
"Mu Kong, because I'm a girl, naturally has to pay attention to me. Don't think too much."
"Really? Girl." Xiao Zhu raised her head, which had just been dejected, and there was energy in her eyes again.
"nature."
After the battle of Nanguan in the previous life, Gu Shicheng was rewarded by His Majesty, and the old princess specially held a spring banquet. Young ladies and gentlemen from various noble families would attend this banquet, and the scene was very lively.
At this spring banquet, she and Gu Shicheng were drugged and caught in bed together. In full view of everyone, she could no longer raise her head.
