When Qu Yu and Shao'er were tossing around, Gu Xingji, who had returned to the capital for his mission, took out a fish-shaped jade pendant from his bosom and stared at the moon in his bedroom in a daze.

This was originally what Sha Erlang would often do. Since Sha Erlang left, Gu Xingji inherited his daily habit of staying still.The attendants all thought their master was commemorating the foolish guard who died for him.

In fact, only Gu Xingji knew that what he did was not just for remembrance.If he could, he didn't want to go back to this cage-like palace at all, and he didn't care about the identity of the prince at all!He would rather be that fool who is loved by grandma, and his little daughter-in-law, who he hasn't seen yet!

That's right, Gu Xingji can also be called Silly Erlang Zhang Wu now.

Gu Xingji still remembers that day three years ago, when the barbarians suddenly closed the gate, and the army came under pressure. As the right general, Gu Xingji was ordered to take a detour to meet the enemy from the side. For some reason, he leaked the news. ambush.

The enemy suddenly appeared, the army was caught off guard, panicked for a while, and Gu Xingji was also thrown off his horse, but he calmed down quickly and directed the soldiers to fight back.Seeing that the ambush plan was unsuccessful, the enemy general drew an arrow and shot at Gu Xing.

While killing the enemy, Gu Xingji had to direct the soldiers to change formations, which was beyond his skill, and he didn't even notice the cold arrows that were shot at him.

The guards who had been guarding close to him were scattered by the enemy, and they were in no hurry to defend, so they could only loudly remind the master of the danger.When Gu Xingji noticed the cold arrow, there was no time to dodge it. At the very moment, a figure rushed to Gu Xingji and swung a knife to cut off the incoming arrow.Before everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the second and three feathered arrows had arrived in front of them, the visitor managed to cut down the second feathered arrow, but the third feathered arrow had no time to dodge anyway.

Even if he could dodge, he would not dodge, because behind him is the prince Gu Xingji, if he dodged, then the arrow that pierced through the air would surely kill Gu Xingji.

Thus, Zhang Wu died, and Silly Erlang took an arrow for his only friend in this life, and died.Surrounded by shouts of killing, Gu Xingji could still hear the sound of sharp arrows piercing flesh, not only from Zhang Wu, but also from himself.

The power of this arrow is definitely not something ordinary human can do.Gu Xingji raised his head, and under the moonlight, he could vaguely see the cold light of the crossbow arrows fired by two enemy soldiers.

Gu Xingji's last thought was, when did the enemy have such powerful weapons?Gu Xingji thought that he was bound to die. In fact, when the marshal personally led troops to rescue him and found him, the military doctor did diagnose that he was out of breath, but when everyone brought his body back to the camp, he woke up again. come over.

The happiest person who survived was not Gu Xingji but the Marshal.Even if he is not favored again, he is still the emperor's son, and he is gone under his hands. Even if he is still useful now, he will not be punished, but it does not prevent the emperor from killing the donkey in the future!

After waking up in the big camp, Gu Xingji was no longer the original second prince, not only the intrigues in the palace, but also the warmth of the Zhang family were in his mind.From that day on, he was the second prince Gu Xingji, and also Zhang Wu, the foolish Erlang of the Zhang family.

Gu Xingji speculated for a long time why he became like this, but he didn't come to any reliable conclusion.On the first day he was able to go to the ground, he brought his relatives and several people back to the place where he was ambushed again.

The soldiers who were ambushed and killed that day were buried here on the spot.After many days, the corpses had rotted away, and their faces were no longer recognizable. It was Gu Xingji who had sharp eyes and saw the fish pendant with a small corner exposed, so he found Zhang Wu's corpse.

Gu Xingji looked at Zhang Wu's body for a while, bent down and took out the fish pendant, and then ordered, "Burn it."

The entourages are all the confidantes that Gu Xingji brought out from the capital, they only obey his orders and never raise any objections. "Jialiu, do you think I'm unreasonable?" Gu Xingji asked the guard who stayed by his side every step of the way. The original silly figure had been replaced by someone else.

For a savior who can order the body to be destroyed, it is undoubtedly the best expression of ruthlessness in this country that values ​​​​the aftermath.

"Aliu dare not!" Aliu replied in a polite manner, "Master's orders all have deep meaning, and Aliu will not doubt master's orders if he doesn't understand them."

Gu Xingji nodded, "Contain the ashes and take them away!" After leaving this order, Gu Xingji got on his horse and left first.Seeing Zhang Erlang's body being burned little by little, he had the illusion that he was burned.

What Jialiu said was correct, he ordered Zhang Wu's body to be burned so that he could send Zhang Erlang back to his hometown in the future, but when the fire started, the awkward feeling made Gu Xingji want to stay as far away as possible.

The followers collected Zhang Wu's ashes, but no one dared to ask the master what to do with them, so Zhang Erlang's ashes were brought back to the camp, and were mixed into Gu Xingji's luggage without Gu Xingji's knowledge.

The death of a guard will not affect anything, even if this guard is from the Duke Protector's Mansion, it does not mean that his death is so important.Therefore, Zhang Wu's name was only added to the list of dead soldiers by the clerk in the camp, and was not reported. It was not until more than two years later, when the second prince returned to the court, that the list of dead soldiers was handed over to the Ministry of War.

As the pensions for the fallen soldiers were issued layer by layer, the housekeeper of the Zhang family got the letter that their silly second young master had stayed in the northwest and would never return.What the Zhang family didn't expect was that not only did the silly Erlang not stay in the northwest, but he followed the second prince back to the capital and even entered the palace!

"Master" when the servant was a few steps away, he made a sound, and when the master came back to his senses, he reported: "The subordinate just got the news that the old lady of the Zhang family died of illness a month ago." No wonder the servant was so careful, the master suddenly opened his mouth after being injured. He is very skillful in fist and foot martial arts, and he becomes vigilant. If he approaches rashly, even if the master is in a daze, he will not escape the fate of being beaten.This is the experience of blood and tears!

Hearing the attendant's report, Gu Xingji clenched the jade pendant in his hand, "How about the others?"

"The former Mrs. Huguogong, Princess Xiangrong passed away three years ago, and now only the Huguogong, who inherited his father's title, and his little aunt, Qu Shi, are left in the Zhang family." The servant told the current situation of the Zhang family concisely .

"Qu's family?" Is this the little daughter-in-law Zhang Erlang has been thinking about and will never forget until death?Surname Qu? "What's your boudoir name?"

"This..." The servant didn't know that the master would be interested in a widow, so he didn't investigate the origin of the Qu family, "I don't know, I will go and investigate!"

Gu Xingji nodded, but when the valet was about to leave, he suddenly changed his mind, "No need! There is no need to investigate the Zhang family's affairs."
