King Zhenbei has a favorite

Zhenbei Wangfu, after taking decoction for several days, the princess still couldn't bear the wind and cold, fell asleep in a drowsy state, and couldn't even manage the internal affairs of the mansion.

The battle drums were beating outside the city gate, and the little bun Huo Jie picked up his dagger and was about to go out: "I want to kill the enemy too!"

Huo Yue stopped his younger brother, and Liu Mei frowned: "You are only six years old, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Jie was not convinced: "I will be seven years old next year! No, I will be seven years old now! My brother has been on the battlefield at my age! And this time my brother came back and taught me, I know how to do it!"

Huo Yue snatched his younger brother's sword: "You also know that it is a battlefield, today is defending the city!"

Weapons are life, even though Huo Jie is young, he wouldn't let someone steal the sword casually, but who called that person a sister?Afraid of hurting Huo Yue, he had no choice but to obediently let go, but his anger didn't go away: "I don't, I'm going!"

Huo Yue was angry. The little girl was usually quiet and gentle, but when she was angry, she raised her eyebrows and her face looked scary: "I don't promise you, do you still want to roll around?"

Huo Jie didn't start with a guilty conscience.

Huo Yue: "Huo Jie! Look at what you look like now? Make trouble for no reason, don't obey orders, is that the younger brother of King Zhenbei?"

Huo Jie was so wronged, tears filled his eyes: "Sister..."

"Okay," Huo Yue squatted down to wipe away tears for his younger brother, with a low voice, "Our Huo family boys are all going to the battlefield, and in a few years you will not be able to hide even if you want to, now, follow me and obey the military orders. "

Huo Jie obediently raised her hand to let her sister lead her: "Oh."

The reason why Xiaobaozi is so noisy is because the battle to defend the city has already started, and his brother King Zhenbei is not at home. He is the only male in the family. Although he is small, he has a sense of honor. He doesn't want everyone to be bullied like this.

The enemy's siege battle was fierce and fast, and the preparations were well prepared. There were many giant wooden catapults rushing into the car, and soon erected ladders, erected fly bridges, and covered them with strong crossbows. There is a way out!

Of course, the guards of Jiuyuan are not vegetarians either. Fire oil, boulders, rain of arrows, all the tricks that can be used to defend the city are all displayed!It’s just that defending the city is not as good as attacking outside. It is difficult to change too much in terms of tactics. It is based on defense. The target is here. Others keep watching and fighting. If you don’t retreat no matter what, you have to stay with you all the time.

After fighting for a while, both sides suffered casualties. Of course, the enemy suffered more losses, so the situation is in our favour.But there were so many people coming from the other side, Wuyang Wuyang rushed forward without fear of death, using human life as a cushion, never breaking down, looking like he was about to smash, how could he stop it?

I can withstand it for a while, I can withstand it for a long time, and then what?This style of play that is not afraid of death puts considerable psychological pressure on the defenders. Once the morale collapses, the battle situation may change a lot!

The wind and snow were getting lighter and the sky was sunny, but Gu Ting, who hadn't left all this time, was a little worried.

This siege battle stopped around noon.The node card is very subtle, just when the city defenders are full of anger, it is impossible to go out to fight, and they can't spread out, especially when they are unhappy.

What is the reason given by the other party?to eat!Let's continue after dinner!

Gu Ting had a hunch that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He didn't understand warfare, and he didn't know where these enemies came from. Without information, his eyes were darkened, and he couldn't analyze it at all.If only someone could tell him where these people come from now...

He didn't know that Meng Zhenzheng, the little friend he hoped for, rode his horse and whipped his horse and came here in the wind and snow.

Meng Zhen ran away quietly early in the morning and only left a letter for his brother. He knew that he was self-willed, but he didn't cry, and he didn't want to vomit blood. He was quite happy in his heart!

Meng Ce, who was hundreds of miles away, had a livid face, and unfolded the letter paper expressionlessly. It was the round and lovely font of his younger brother.

to my brother--

If you can't see me when you wake up, my brother must know where I went, so I won't say more.Sorry, I seem to be willful again.My brother said he wanted me to be myself happily, but I had already forgotten how to be myself.I want to be obedient and well-behaved, not to drag you down, but you seem to be used to being dragged down by me.I didn't dare to cry loudly, I vomited blood quietly, and hid the bloody handkerchief, but you seem to know, because the handkerchief I hid always disappeared, and there was always a new one at hand the next day.Every time I feel uncomfortable, I have to raise my smiling face, and want to tell my brother that I am not uncomfortable at all, but I thought about it, although you laughed at the time, it seemed that I was comforted by me, but in fact, it looked like you were crying, and you were also very sad .

I always feel that I owe you a lot, and you seem to think so too.

Gu Ting said that there is no debt between friends. I owe him a little, he owes me a little, I pay back, and he pays back. In the end, it is impossible to count who owes whom more, and trust and bonds are truly formed.I think the family is about the same.I'm not afraid of what I owe my brother, and I don't care about what my brother owes me. If my brother doesn't think so, he hasn't grown up. You have to reflect on yourself.

I had no other purpose before, I just wanted to listen to my brother and not be a burden to him. Now I want to stand with Gu Ting and tell him where the crisis is and where it came from. If possible, I am willing to help him.Gu Ting is very good, he was the first person who didn't dislike me, and didn't make friends with me for any purpose. He is very precious, and I don't want to lose it.In my own life, I always have to work hard on my own.

I thought of this idea in the middle of the night. The night is so cold, but I am not cold at all. I will know that I will wrap my quilt tightly, and I will not vomit blood or cry. I am very happy.If I am so self-willed, my brother will definitely be angry, but knowing that I am so happy, my brother will definitely not be sad.

Don't worry brother, I will be fine.I'm not stupid. Before I got lost, many people tried to abduct me. I ran away. I know how to protect myself.Brother is busy, you have to deal with important matters at home, don't come to me, I kidnapped your bodyguard Zheng Shishi, forced him with a knife, don't blame him.I also took all the poison in your bag, so I won't hurt myself, you know.I promise my brother that I will never do dangerous things. If there is danger, I will take care of my own life first. I will not be impulsive or fight. Let Zheng Shixi take me away, okay?

I thought about it all night yesterday, and then I realized that the reason why we are human beings, being obedient and sensible and not causing trouble is not the purpose, it is meaningful to be who we want to be, and it is for this reason that my brother has persisted until now.I have grown up, everything is given to me by my brother, and now I will eventually grow into what my brother expects, to become a better me, is my brother proud, proud of himself?

I hope that one day, I can also protect my brother and become my brother's support.

At the end of the letter, a pitiful, shivering kitten was drawn, with an arrow pointing to it: Can the hand be punished a little less when I come back this time?

Meng Ce read the letter, looked up at the sky, and covered his eyes with one hand.

This silly brother, how come he still doesn't understand...

You have always been my reliance, the place where I can still find myself.

I have been here all this time, you are the one who protects me and keeps me from getting lost.

Meng Ce put the letter away carefully and walked out of the room.

The personal guard Zheng Shi came over to ask for instructions: "My lord, are you going after the little master?"

"No," Meng Ce narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of Jiuyuan with nostalgia, and got on his horse, "Quickly solve the problem at home, and then come to pick him up."

The little ancestor is about to grow up, so happy, how could he stop him?In his life, what he wanted most was for his younger brother to be happy, that's all.If anyone dares to bully him without eyes, heh.

Meng Zhen ran all the way, Baozi's face was tense, I don't know how long it took, and finally saw the city gate from a distance!

But someone is attacking the city...

Meng Zhen was so anxious that she almost cried: "What should I do? Can I get in from the top of the city?"

Originally it was impossible, but the little master had a request, how dare Zheng Shishi say no?I'm afraid I won't be exposed by the prince, so I have to do it if I can't!

"Young master, wait a moment, the subordinates are ready to prepare, and I will find a chance to take you in!"

……

In Jiuyuan City, Gu Ting didn't go anywhere, just sticking to the corner, eating like chewing wax.

There are some dangers, you will be nervous and afraid when you don’t know it, but when it shows up and you know what it is and what danger it may bring, you will not be nervous because you will think about how to deal with it .

The attack outside the city came to an end, and after the meal, the weirder point came.

A middle-aged man with a kind face stood up from the cavalry and shouted loudly: "I said it is on the top of the city! It's so cold, who wants to fight, how can it be like good food, warm wine and hot kang? This time I will wait for the front Come here, it’s not to occupy Jiuyuan City, we can attack it if we attack it, but we may not be able to occupy it if we occupy it, why bother to have such a big enmity with the common people, don’t you think?”

Gu Ting got up slowly, put his hands into his sleeves, and said in his heart.

It's just this routine, a bit like... After a whip, it's time to give sugar.But whether this candy is sugar or not, and whether there is something behind it, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

Sure enough, after the middle-aged voice exchanged greetings, he made a request: "It's a big Chinese New Year, and the family is reunited. We admire the demeanor of King Zhenbei and are concerned that there is no one to take care of the Prince of Zhenbei. The brothers and sisters come to our place as guests, and we will take care of them carefully to make them feel at home, and wait for the prince to come to reunite! As long as you don't stop me, hand over the princess and her party, and I will leave immediately, and Jiuyuan City will not be damaged. One brick, one brick, one common people!"

With a bang, Gu Ting's ear exploded, and he said that it didn't feel right, so it was this!It's nice to say what it means to be a guest, but it's just a threat!

"Bah!" A veteran on the top of the wall spit thick phlegm, "Open your mouth and shut up our lord, who are you! You are not even worthy to carry our lord's shoes!"

The enemy's middle-aged voice sounded like a bell: "It's not you who asked!"

Veteran: "It's not me, I know it, you hurry up and get out, don't talk about the princess, no one will go out of this city gate today!"

The middle-aged man laughed: "Don't talk about this kind of thing that doesn't hurt your back. I'm not asking you, it's the princess of the Zhenbei palace! Why, there is no one in the palace, can you speak for the princess? You are hers." who?"

These words were too insulting, the veteran's eyes were tearing apart, he immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, but the opponent was very thieves, standing not far or near, just outside the shooting range, the veteran's arm strength was stronger than ordinary people, and the arrow was also shot. It was far away, but the middle-aged man jumped back and avoided it. After the jump, he sighed: "Oh, you can't do this arrow."

"Shuzi dare!"

The middle-aged man laughed even louder: "Don't be so excited, I've said it all, it's not you who asked the question, if it's inconvenient for the princess, you can ask the people, Your Excellency will do the question for you, ask the people of Jiuyuan City, What's so great about being a guest at someone's house, why can't you agree?"

Now there are common people standing inside the city gate, who immediately yelled back when they heard the shout: "Promise me! We will give you whatever you want. How can you be so faceless? Are you calling me daddy?"

"It's cold today, and your father is still simmering in a poop, and he can't bear to poop. Do you want to try it? It's fresh——"

All the people laughed, and the drummer at the corner of the city gate became excited, and the drums became more and more passionate.

The middle-aged people outside the city were not angry either. They stood there with their hands clasped, with a meaningful smile: "The king of Zhenbei built Wubao on the border at that time, did he ever think about the danger of the city gate today? That young man over there, playing the drum It's useless no matter how hard you try, your lord can't hear him, he has been dragged far away by the battle, even if it's not far away, the war drums over there are stronger and louder than yours."

There was a sudden silence.

The man raised his voice again: "Listen carefully, everyone! Brothers have received a death order today, so I don't want to talk nonsense, anyway, I won't be able to go back if the task is not completed, why not bring more funerals - two hours, you If we don’t let the princess come out, we will die! After we break the city, we will slaughter the city immediately, and I want no women, children, chickens or dogs left in Jiuyuan City!”

The people in the city fell silent for a moment.

Massacre of the city... If these people received the death order, it is not impossible.I'm not good, so don't think about it for others, there are too many people with dark hearts.

Gu Ting is also very clear that the purpose of the team outside the city is not to destroy the city at all, but Huo Yan's family!It is absolutely impossible to be as simple as being a guest. Once the person is given out, it is up to others whether to threaten or do other things.

Jiuyuan City is very good, everyone is very friendly, but the human heart is the most vulnerable to temptation.

Oops!

Suddenly thought of something, Gu Ting lifted the corner of his robe and ran towards Zhenbei Palace.You Dachun is not here, there is a biting dog missing in the city, but he is gone, the people below are still there, if you want to take advantage of this time to make trouble...

Life is like, the worst thing will always happen, Gu Ting is still late.

The gate of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has been surrounded by people, the outermost are the common people, and the inside are the people wearing the clothes of You Dachun's subordinates. The leader has long beards and thin eyes, and looks like a villain. It is not a good thing at first glance. On the opposite side, in front of the gate of the palace, is a young girl who is only eleven or twelve years old. The little girl has Liu Meifeng and phoenix eyes, and her eyes are clear. Standing there alone is a bit lonely, but facing so many grown-ups, she has no fear on her face , very quiet, but also very tough.

Gu Ting walked all the way in, listening to the voices of the onlookers, he knew who these two people were.The one with long beard, thin eyes and sinister face is You Dachun's confidant counselor called Dao An Ran, the little girl in front of the palace gate is Huo Yan's younger sister, Huo Yue who is only 11 years old now.

Everything You Dachun did was basically Dao Anran's idea and arrangement. Now that others are coming to attack the city, of course he has to react quickly. He immediately brought people over to invite the Grand Concubine. He thought that there was no one in the Zhenbei Palace. The boss, the only male is only six years old, and the older girl is eleven years old. The relatives didn't say where the help came from, so what if there is only one old woman left, why don't you just let it go?

Who knew that this little Huo Yue's little girl really dared to stand up, she was quite courageous!

"I mean little girl," Dao Anran said slowly, "we can't go on like this."

Huo Yue's eyebrows were calm: "Oh, so your Excellency decided to help defend the city?"

Dao Anran was provoked by a little girl, and immediately smiled: "Little girl, do you know that your family's decision can save a whole city."

Huo Yue looked at him, his voice still calm: "My brother has saved a whole city countless times, and it will be the same this time."

Dao Anran shook his head: "But he can't come back this time. Others just invited your grandmother to be a guest, what's the problem? So many people are watching and entertaining you, what can they do, can they kill you? If your grandmother doesn’t go, they will attack and kill everyone here. If your grandmother goes, they will immediately retreat, and everyone will be safe. Isn’t it obvious how to choose?”

Huo Yue pursed her lips tightly, and just about to speak, Dao Anran suppressed her voice again sharply: "If you are not benevolent in Zhenbei's palace, and you don't want to think about the common people, then this battle will start because of you, here All the people who died were caused by you!"

Huo Yue's face immediately turned pale.

Gu Ting couldn't stand it anymore: "What an ingenious strategist, how many times has he been so proficient in generosity to others? Is it interesting for a person in his tens of years to scare a little girl? Since when—"

He looked around, and his voice suddenly amplified: "When we encounter problems, we don't criticize people who have evil intentions and do bad things, but blame innocent good people for not cooperating?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly quiet.

Seeing the little girl's fists clenched tightly, with tears in her eyes, Gu Ting took a step to the side, blocking the little girl tightly, not calling the other side, especially the disgusting Dao Anran who saw it.

"When people are sent out, is it a guest or a threat, life or death? Others don't know, but you, a counselor who is always by You Dachun's side, don't know? Don't use big hats to suppress people here. Bullying children is nothing. Come at me!"

Huo Yue raised his head and looked at the back in front of him. He was not as tall and thin as his elder brother, but his breath was as good as his elder brother's. Standing here, his shoulders and waist would not collapse, just like a green bamboo, which would never be bent or knocked down.

Sniffing, Huo Yue quietly wiped away the tears.

Dao Anran narrowed his eyes: "Who are you? There is no one in the Zhenbei Palace, and you want a wild man to stand out?"

"Who said that there is no one in my Zhenbei Palace?" Gu Ting said, "My Zhenbei Palace", he took out a jade whistle in his hand, and shook it at the old housekeeper standing not far behind the little girl. "I'm not?"

Seeing the jade whistle, the old butler smiled even deeper, and immediately bowed his hands in salute: "Young Master Gu is the master of my Zhenbei Palace, and everyone in the Palace dare not disrespect you."

The surrounding people hissed and gasped: "Isn't this...the one? The prince's favorite?"

"Isn't it the sweetheart? I heard that they were still fighting a few days ago, no one paid attention to the other, and there were rumors that it was not the case at all. These two people have never been together..."

"It's all like this and still not together? Who are you cheating? You have all the tokens, and the old housekeeper has personally recognized the master. Who can have this card? Then what does Miss Xu have?"

"The lord is really dedicated, he recognized it so quickly, and gave him a title..."

"What devotion? Is this trust? It's obvious that Mr. Gu is in charge!"

The voice was so loud, Dao Anran wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but he couldn't pretend, so he cast a gloomy look: "Then what did Mr. Gu think of today's incident?"

"No way," Gu Ting raised his chin, his expression arrogant and picky, "the people outside are a little ignorant, they know how to invite people, why did they miss me? I am not a human? No, I am not happy. Today, the city gate, No one wants to go out!"

"you--"

Dao Anran wanted to point at his nose and scold you for what you were, but the other party admitted his identity so generously, showing that he was shameless, so it was difficult for him to speak.He has always been good at running on others from the moral high ground, if he wants to follow this route now, he is afraid that he will be pushed back by others...

He turned to Huo Yue: "You are the serious lady of the Huo family, do you really want to be pressed on top of your head by such a thing?"

Huo Yue gently grabbed the corner of Gu Ting's clothes and looked up at him: "Brother said, I'm a girl's family, so it's not easy to talk to people with dirty mouths."

The little girl is so cute, Gu Ting almost went crazy laughing, if it wasn't for the difference between men and women, the little girl would be the age of the governor, and he wanted to rub the little girl's head: "Yes! Your brother is so right, our girl The family must be elegant, clean and courteous, and you must not lower your value and talk to bastards with dirty mouths and dirty bodies."

Dao Anran was angry: "Gu Ting, who are you calling a bastard!"

Gu Ting slowly said, "Oh, did I scold you for recognizing it so quickly?"

"When I like to take care of this mess, I can handle it myself if I have the ability, don't ask others to help!" Dao Anran flung his sleeves and left, "Anyway, the people in the city will die at that time, not me!"

He thought very clearly that it doesn't matter whether he can achieve his goal on this trip. If he achieves it, the Huo family is finished.Anyway, he is not from Jiuyuan. If he wins, he will be reminded. If he loses, he will be fine. If he can fan the flames and do something, it doesn't matter if he can't. There is still a big battle ahead!

Dao Anran left, but his eyeliner did not leave, neither did the people in the surrounding area, Gu Ting pretended to be forced to this point, he took out all the jade whistle, and the old housekeeper also admitted that he was his own family with the token, he Why don't you go to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion right now, like talking?

But he went in...what, what?He and Huo Yan don't have that kind of relationship, it's just that he's touching porcelain. Will the princess want to pick his skin off when she hears about it?

Gu Ting's feet were a little soft.But even if you are scolded, you can be beaten up. Right now, defending the city is important, and you have to do business...

Looking down at the little girl's worried eyes, Gu Ting smiled: "Don't be afraid, my name is Gu Ting, and I'm your brother's friend. I have a plan to solve the current situation."
