General, he's cheating again

The sky was gloomy, and the clouds blocked the warm sun in March and formed a thick sheet covering the entire sky above the city, making the atmosphere in the city seem oppressive and turbid.

Gu Zhen and Leng Ji huddled in the noisy street but had no intention of immersing themselves in the hustle and bustle. The wind blowing on their faces at that time was slightly cool and moist, and the smell of meat buns mixed with it made them feel kind and familiar.

Stopping in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop, Gu Zhen stared at the white, plump, hot steamed stuffed buns in the cage in front of him, and his thoughts went back to the memories that he and his parents often visited here in the past.

He couldn't help stretching out a hand to touch the steamed stuffed bun in the cage. The steam in the cage shrouded his face with the wind and gradually blurred his vision. He switched back and forth between memory and reality like a dream, sometimes At that moment, through the steam, he seemed to see his father and mother standing close together and calling him to laugh.

"I bother!"

A hot steamed bun was picked up, crushed, and then slammed into Gu Zhen's face, and the fresh and sweet meat juice flowing from the snow-white dough was sticky and printed on his already red face.

The wind cooled the gravy on his face slightly, and the smell lingered in Gu Zhen's nose, but it no longer smelled sweet, but a faint fishy smell.

The boss who sells meat buns looked at Gu Zhen and stretched his neck, opened his eyes wide and cursed in disgust: "You are a rebellious and unfilial son, it is a shame for us in Huaibei that you let your parents lose their souls for the sake of family property. Live and die at home!

You go away, so what if you have become the hereditary King of Huaibei?Our family does not sell steamed buns to things that are not as good as animals! "

After scolding, the stall owner grabbed another steamed stuffed bun and slammed it on Gu Zhen's face, then shouted to everyone on the street: "Hey! Everyone, come and see! The idiot son of a bitch is finally willing to go out today! , he is a money-grubbing wretch!"

Hearing that the pedestrians on the street swarmed around the steamed stuffed bun shop, pointing their fingers at Gu Zhen and cursing, saliva flying everywhere when they spoke.

These passers-by crowded together to watch him, but kept a certain distance from him and refused to approach him.

Looking around in a daze at the ferocious faces of different but similar expressions around him, and feeling that there seemed to be sporadic drizzle in the sky, Gu Zhen looked up at the dark and cloudy sky, his eyes were reddish.

"My son, let's go. They don't seem to welcome us very much."

Leng Ji looked at Gu Zhen and frowned slightly. He knew that Gu Zhen had always been a very proud person, so how could he bear such insults.

"Go? Why go?

Why did you wrong yourself for a group of irrelevant people? "

Gu Zhen clenched his hands and fists behind him, turned his eyes to the people around him and glanced around sullenly, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "You all say that I am rebellious, it seems that I am very concerned about my family's affairs.

But I just want to ask you, why didn't you see me during the days when my parents passed away? Did any of you come and ask me, a poor unaccompanied person?

What will you do?I just watch jokes and criticize with a cold heart.

My father and mother have not been able to rest in peace for a long time, who is forcing it?Who is blocking the door of Gu's house every day, asking me for family property with open mouth?Why do you think that the family business that my parents have accumulated so hard has become a vulgar property in your mouth, and why do you think that I should give it to others? "

He stepped forward slowly, but the crowd backed away, and finally his eyes fixed on a man with a slender neck and a greasy face hidden in the crowd.

After the man reacted, he couldn't help but subconsciously exchanged glances with the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop with a guilty conscience.

He realized that something was wrong with Gu Zhen, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he was about to run away.But before he turned around, Gu Zhen had already pinched his neck tightly in his palm.

"It's you! It's you who caused my parents' corpses to rot at home! I should have killed you when you blocked the entrance of Gu's mansion, and told you to bury my parents with me!"

Leng Ji recognized that this man was one of the relatives who came to ask Gu Zhen for the family property a few days ago. Seeing that Gu Zhen seemed to have lost his mind, he immediately came to Gu Zhen's side to restrain Gu Zhen and lock his neck. The wrist of the hand persuaded: "My son, calm down."

It's just that Gu Zhen didn't pay attention to him. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring at the man's face which gradually changed from white to purple.

But just when Leng Ji saw that the man was about to die and was helpless against Gu Zhen, a masked man in black appeared behind Gu Zhen.

The masked man knocked Gu Zhen unconscious with a palm and supported his shoulders, then looked at Leng Ji and said in a low voice, "My lord, Deputy Envoy of Tingfenglou, can we go back to the mansion first."

You must know that Leng Ji and Gu Zhen came from the same school, and their master is the master of Tingfenglou who is well-known all over the world.

Since ancient times, the forces in the world have always formed their own faction and never attached to the imperial court.Since Tingfenglou formed an alliance with Gu Qinan, he often helped Gu Qinan in the battlefield, which was one of the important reasons why Gu Qinan was able to become an ever-victorious general.

When he was on the street, Gu Zhen was clearly insane, so the masked men forcibly knocked him unconscious and took him back to the mansion.

Gu Zhen will always remember what the masked man said to him after he woke up. From then on, he can't die or even make a little mistake.Only in this way can he survive. This road is very long, but it is his road, and it is also the road that Gu Qinan and his master have walked for a lifetime.

"Gu Zhen, the landlord succeeds you. He wrote in his suicide note that he had high hopes for you. There are many masters in Tingfeng Building, and as the leader of such masters, you must be several times stronger than them. You must be very Perfect.

If you don't know how to proceed in the future, then I will tell you at this moment that you will take back your father's position as envoy of the Privy Council, you will put down the rebellion, and you will avenge your revenge.

And for any decision or matter you make in the future, Tingfenglou will be your most loyal support.

From now on, you are no longer the ignorant son who only hides your clumsiness in the past, you have to show your edge.You are Marquis of Huaibei, you are the landlord of Tingfenglou, and you will also be the new general who protects the country, the one who avenges your parents and your master.

Gu Zhen, stand up.Don't fall down, you have to stand awake forever and ever..."

The desolation of the border is endless, and behind the bare city gates are refugees in ragged clothes, suffering from hunger and the fear of war.

Hiding behind the armored generals, they struggled day and night in the midst of death and hope.

Sometimes the sun above the head is very dazzling, and the ground is scorching hot, and a layer of skin will peel off after a short time when you step on it with bare feet, let alone the soldiers who are curled up in the heavy armor all day and all night, covered with sweat Pickled wounds.

Sometimes it was heavy rain, and the flood washed away the grain and grass and destroyed the tents.There was no place to shelter from the rain, so the soldiers had to snuggle up in the rainstorm, unable to open their eyes or speak.Sometimes it rained for a short period of time, and they just thought they had taken a bath; sometimes it rained for several days and nights, and the water covered half of their bodies, so they could only walk in mud in the rain.

Fortunately, there is no heavy snow in Liaodong. Occasionally, there will be scattered light snow in winter. The snow falls in their palms, but they can imagine a happy time with their relatives from this small white snowflake. A good year of heavy snow.

But what is the reality?It is the blood that stains the snowflakes red, the starvation in the fields, the weeping of the refugees and the howling of the soldiers, and it runs through night after night, year after year.

"Leng Ji, do you feel homesick?"

Gu Zhen was lying among the corpses all over the field. He had just narrowly escaped from the ghost gate, and he was covering the bleeding mouth on his waist and abdomen with his hand. He was clearly very drowsy, but he told himself in his heart that he couldn't sleep and he had to work hard to maintain a clear mind. .

At that time, it was the New Year's Eve, when everyone was dressed festively and went out to pay New Year's greetings. Gu Zhen looked at the blood between his fingers and felt the warmth of the blood.

Looking at Gu Zhen's face, Leng Ji felt powerless for the first time.There is no medicine to stop the bleeding, and none of the cloths that can be used for bandaging are dirty. Now they can only endure until the reinforcements arrive to pick them up.

After barely helping Gu Zhen stop the bleeding, Leng Ji sat beside him and looked up at the stars in the sky. He lightly pursed his dry lips and replied, "Where the general is, is Leng Ji's home."

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, Gu Zhen closed his eyes and said weakly: "What should I do, Leng Ji, I want to sleep."

"General, you can't sleep."

Leng Ji watched Gu Zhen close his eyes tiredly, he quickly helped Gu Zhen to sit up, and gently shook Gu Zhen's body, "Now I can't get up again after falling asleep, let's stay up for a while, and when the medicine comes, I won't sleep anymore. Will bleed again.

General, general, wake up! "

When he opened his eyes in a daze, Gu Zhen's vision was blurred. It was really hard to live. He couldn't sleep because he had to stay awake to fight.

"Wake up! Wake up! Langzhong, why has he been in a coma for two nights but still hasn't woken up?

He... is he dreaming?There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes. "

When his sight regained clarity, Gu Zhen gradually woke up from the dream, and saw Qin Qingrong standing beside the bed anxiously asking the doctor what to say.

The doctor was also a little helpless, it stands to reason that Gu Zhen's poisoning was not too deep and he should have woken up long ago.He sighed softly and explained patiently: "Lord Qin, General Gu seems to have a fever again, maybe he will wake up when the fever subsides."

As he said that, he opened the curtain to look at Gu Zhen, and found that Gu Zhen had half-opened his eyes and hurriedly said to Qin Qingrong happily: "Master Qin, look quickly, General Gu is awake!

I'm going to prescribe some medicine to General Gu, I think he will be cured when the fever subsides! "

In a hurry to get out of this sea of ​​suffering, the doctor left with the medicine box on his back.

There were only these two people left in the room at the moment, Qin Qingrong was standing beside Gu Zhen's bed, looking down at Gu Zhen frowning slightly, seeing Gu Zhen's pale face curved his lips and smiling at him, he couldn't help but smile.

Lifting his finger to Qin Qingrong's dirty and torn white robe, Gu Zhen asked in a hoarse voice with difficulty: "What's wrong with the clothes?"

"You were imprisoned by the emperor. He forbids anyone to visit you in the Gu residence."

Qin Qingrong smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm worried about you, so when I climbed over the wall to enter Gu's house at night, my clothes fell off the wall and got dirty."
