Fake concubine, real queen

Zong Ling had been unconscious and unresponsive, but now his eyelids trembled for some reason, and a low hum came from his throat.

He Gu said: "If you can still hear me and still want this opportunity, then hold back your energy and take the medicine."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the small pill again, but this time it still didn't drip, but Zong Ling actually closed his eyes and frowned slightly, and opened his mouth to swallow it.

Seeing this, Zhengye and Ninglang all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know where He Gu's pill came from, since he would feed it to Zong Ling, it must have no effect, and Zong Ling could hear it He spoke and took the medicine according to the words, and he was probably still a little conscious, so it wasn't that he didn't have no vitality at all.

Sure enough, after taking this pill, Zong Ling, whose life was hanging by a thread, hanged like this for a full seven days. After the seventh day, the doctor looked at him again, and then let go and said that his life was alright, but the injuries on his body were less of a problem. I still have to train for half a year——

Although Zong Ling has made a big mistake, everyone in the Chenghe camp is well-known, and there are naturally not a few people who want to watch him laugh and gloat. It's just that when he was beaten with eighty army sticks, He Gu also followed the old camp rules. There is no place for selfishness to cover up, so no one can tell what is wrong. When he was beaten that day, a total of eighty army sticks did not say a word from beginning to end, but he is still considered a person. These eighty army sticks are unusually strong. The big man suffers, even if he can save his life, he still has to be disabled, but he is fine, and he managed to survive. Those who dislike him secretly itch their teeth, but in the end they can only let it go .

As for the pill that He Gu fed him, where did it come from?

After all, the He family is a general family. In the early years when the ancestors did not make a fortune, being beaten by the military stick was not commonplace, but the descendants of the He family were always a little worried. After suffering so many times, He Gu's great-grandfather I don't know where to find a bottle of elixir. This elixir has a miraculous effect on fatal wounds that hit the inner organs of the flesh and blood. As long as the person does not die, it is not particularly unlucky to feed it within twelve hours. Keep your life, keep your internal organs from being hurt.

It's just that although there are pills, there is no prescription, and there are only seven pills in a bottle. It has been passed down to the generation of He Laohou and He Xiaohou, and there is only this lone pill left. After he was dismissed and stayed at home, when He Gu went to Yangxi, he took it out of the ancestral hall and kept it close to his body, just in case he had no choice but to kill him first and then play the military stick, but he didn't expect Now that the elixir was received close to his body, he never had a chance to use it himself, but it saved Zong Ling's life.

Later when Zhengye Ninglang asked about it, He Gu didn't hide it from them, and told the truth that Zhengye had given up on Zong Ling for five minutes, and Zong Ling must have made him look down on him, but after all, he had fought side by side for more than two years. Yue's comrade, Zhengye Daozi mouth bean curd heart, more or less could not bear to watch him being beaten to death by the [-]th Army stick, but this time, when He Gu said that the precious pill was inherited from the He family, only one The grains were even cheaper than Zong Ling's grandson, and he cursed on the spot and said straightly that Lord Hou spent such a precious thing, why should he save him, he should be left to fend for himself.

He Gu couldn't laugh or cry, but he naturally knew that Zhengye was just talking, after all, Zong Ling had already taken the medicine, and he didn't really want to watch him lose his life.

Zong Ling was recovering from his injuries, but He Gu couldn't take it easy. He still had an ancestor in his belly, and he knew that it was time to return to Beijing. After all, when he was pregnant with Baoyin, he had to call the little girl I suffered a lot from bumping back and forth with him, and it was because of Baoyin's skin that he was lucky enough to come to this world safely, but this time there is no need to do so again. Now that the war in the north is over, King Khan Muda has also been escorted to Beijing , everyone is clear in their hearts, Lord Hehou is His Majesty's eyeball, it is impossible to stay in Chenghe, and he will go back to Beijing sooner or later, He Gu also knows it well, the military affairs of Chenghe camp should be dealt with as soon as possible After that, he can return to court as a teacher.

It's just that although He Gu intends to deal with it quickly, Zhengye and Yan Zhiya still remember that there is a little ancestor in Houye's belly, and they dare not let him be troubled. So, they resettled the refugees in Yanling City, handed over and dealt with the Wuling Mansion officials, and there were many trivial matters. After half a month, He Gucai handled all the trivial matters properly, and carefully handed over the instructions to Liu Jianshan. Only then did I feel relieved.

After such a delay, even the emperor of the capital sent an urgent letter asking when General He would return?A group of talents began to pack their boxes and cages, and were ready to leave the camp and return to the dynasty.

It's strange to say that when she was pregnant with Baoyin, the little girl was honest and caring, and her father carried her back and forth in the shadow of swords and swords, and never made a fuss in He Gu's stomach once and a half until Baoyin was born. On the eve of the eve, He Guqi felt that his stature had indeed increased, and he hardly realized the difficulty of a woman's pregnancy in September, but this time this child somehow, obviously different from his sister, is not an easy-going lamp.

Ever since He Gu woke up, he fell asleep for less than an hour every night, and he must have been kicked awake by the little bastard in his stomach in his dream. It took only half a month, and the feeling of loss of appetite, restless sleep, vomiting and dizziness was called He Gu. After tasting it all over, I paid back all the debts I owed when I was pregnant with Baoyin.

During the day, he has to deal with military affairs, go back and forth between the capital yamen of Wuling Mansion and various guards, and at night he has to be tossed about by this little ancestor, and He Gu really cares about face, this kind of woman's troubles really makes him feel unspeakable , I just carried it hard for a few days, but I still couldn't carry it any longer. I didn't expect to ask Yan Zhiya to come and see it when there was no one around for a day, but the doctor Yan at the other end was also frowning and silent. Without saying a word, he raised his eyes to look at him for a long time, his gaze was very complicated, He Gu looked at him for a long time, but only saw the words "helpless" on her face.

Yan Zhiya held back for a long time, then scratched her chin and said in embarrassment: "Uh, Lord Hou, this... this... There are not many women in the world who are pregnant for ten months and have children. Symptoms are quite normal. Besides, every child has a different temperament. Perhaps this... this... er... this young master has a more lively temperament, which is why he is a little noisy. Well, it means that the child is safe and sound in Lord Hou's womb, why don't Lord Hou bear it for now? I will prescribe a prescription, which can relieve you a little or two, but these symptoms cannot be completely eliminated..."

He Gu frowned and said: "This... what the doctor means is that you have already found out that this child is a boy?"

Yan Zhiya was taken aback, but she didn't expect his attention to be here. She just said it casually, but she didn't want He Gu to pay attention, and hurriedly said: "Whether the child is a boy or a girl, I didn't open my eyes. Do you know? It's just a casual remark, Lord Hou don't mind..."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at He Gu secretly from the corner of his eye, but he felt something was wrong, and suddenly paused and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter...Does Hou Ye not want the child to be a young master?" ...?"

He Gu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said after a long while: "...This child, no matter male or female, is my own flesh and blood of He Gu. Naturally, I can't dislike him, but now, my relationship with His Majesty... It's not like you don't know the gossip, if this child is a man, it will inevitably lead to troubles, I would rather it is a girl, and I can be with Shuangshuang as a companion, there is nothing wrong..."

After Yan Zhiya heard the words, she finally understood his worry. She looked at He Gu for a while, and He Gu felt a little apprehensive, and asked her, "...what's wrong?"

Yan Zhiya just shook her head, and sighed in a low voice: "...it's nothing, just to be offensive, I was...actually very happy for Lord Hou and His Highness the Third Prince, now seeing Lord Hou like this, But I also have some regrets..."

He Gu rolled his Adam's apple, and said, "...it's not Brother Heng's fault."

Yan Zhiya was silent for a moment, and said: "...There is something that I didn't want to tell you at first, but I just thought about it these days, and when I return to Beijing, Master Hou will always hear it from other people's ears. It came suddenly, but I'm more afraid that you will be disturbed and stimulated, so it's better for me to talk about it now."

He Gu was taken aback, and said, "...what's the matter?"

Yan Zhiya pursed her lips, looked at him cautiously, and then said slowly: "Before I left for Yanling with the emperor, I heard that he had accepted the selection for the draft at the court meeting. We are already preparing to take care of everything.”

When He Gu heard this, his mind went blank for a moment, and he immediately felt a dryness in his throat. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he still couldn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Yan Zhiya immediately began to regret, and thought to herself, could it be that she still spoke too fast, which irritated Lord Hou?Sure enough, we should lay the groundwork first...

She hurried to help him, and said, "...Master Hou, are you alright?"

He Gu pushed her away, rubbed his temples before closing his eyes and said: "...Thank you for telling me about this first, I'm fine, I'll ask someone to pick up the prescription later, it's getting late, and I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow , you go back and rest quickly."

Seeing his appearance, Yan Zhiya felt even more worried, and regretted that she had another moment of impulsiveness. She really should have called Zheng Ye to talk about this matter, but if she said something, it would be useless to regret it, He Gu Although the tone was flat, this time it was obvious that he really didn't want to listen to her consolation anymore. He has been a general for two lifetimes, and he won't let go of his prestige. This time, I had no choice but to hold back the words that came to my throat, and turned my head three times to get out of the commander's account.

She went out, and He Gucai sat alone at the Eight Immortals' table, staring blankly. After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, rolled his Adam's apple and got himself a cup of tea, but the tea in the teapot had been left for a long time , it was already freezing cold at the moment.

He Gu touched his lips, feeling blocked and annoyed. He almost wanted to drink this cup of cold tea indiscriminately, but he still remembered the child in his belly, so he didn't really drink it.

...What does he care about?

Weren't these things already expected?

But why...why did Brother Heng come half a month ago, but didn't mention a word to him, and even said that he wanted to be a dignified couple with him... Could it be that he thought that he would not know if he was lying like this?

He Gu was in a state of turmoil, walked to the front of the tent and opened the curtain to go out. The two soldiers were startled when they saw him, they probably didn't expect him to come out at this time, and hurriedly said: "General, you..."

He Gu didn't pay attention to them, he just looked up at the sky full of stars and was lost in thought. He had just heard the news, and his mind was a little messy. Now that he had settled down, he suddenly felt something strange——

... No, no, if it is really necessary to choose a queen, Brother Heng will definitely not deceive him like that, a person who hides his ears and steals his bell, let alone ask if he wants to be a decent husband and wife with him, he must have something else Intend……

...What exactly does Brother Heng want to do?

A guess gradually emerged in He Gu's mind, but even he was frightened——

He walked back and forth in front of the tent a few times with such a sullen face without saying a word, which frightened the two guards enough. After looking at each other for a few times, they agreed to act as wooden figures without making a sound and not daring to vent their anger.

He Gu suddenly turned around and went back to the tent, found out from the case the letter sent by Brother Heng from Beijing two days ago, asking him if the matter could be handled properly and when he would go back, and read it carefully——

After knowing it lately, like He Gu, this time I finally figured out something was wrong...

Standing in front of the desk, He Gu was pinching the letter, his face sometimes turning purple, and sometimes turning red. It took an unknown amount of time before he stuffed the letter back into the wooden box that was reserved for correspondence with Pei Zhaoheng.

The cautious voice of the soldiers came from outside: "General...General...?"

He Gu recovered from his daze, walked to the door and said, "What's the matter, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing him coming out again, the soldiers quickly knelt down and said, "General, Zong Ling is awake, and he is relying on his caretaker to send a message saying that he wants to see you."

He Gu turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a soldier standing in front of the tent, and when he came out, his expression was a little uneasy. He must have been ordered to take care of Zong Ling for the past two days. Ken personally went to the handsome tent to ask for help for him.

He Gu said: "How is Zong Ling?"

Hearing this, the soldier hurriedly said: "If you go back to the general, you will wake up early, and your injuries will be much better. We will carefully apply the medicine every day. Although we still can't get out of bed, we will rely on the little people to see the general all day long. People are also annoyed by him and have no choice, so..."

He Gu said: "Let's go."

The soldier didn't have any hope at all, he probably felt that it was already dark, how could the general be willing to see that little boy surnamed Zong, but he didn't expect that he really agreed.

He Gu ignored him, and only went to Zong Ling's camp. Zong Ling's camp was not far from his handsome tent. As soon as he opened the curtain, a strong smell of medicine came over his face. There was a person lying on the couch, who heard When someone came, he immediately raised his head. When he saw who it was, he became excited and stammered, "General...General...you are here..."

Seeing that he still wanted to move, He Gu frowned and said, "Okay, don't move, you still want to lie down for another half a year, don't you?"

Zong Ling heard the words, and then stopped, did not move, blushed and said: "No... no, I... I have something to say to the general."

He Gu said: "Am I here? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zong Ling didn't say a word, he only looked at the two soldiers following He Gu, and the soldier who was looking after him, his expression was a bit embarrassed, He Gu understood his thoughts, and sighed secretly, the young man in his heart was quite cheeky Bo, now he knew he was ashamed, so he turned his head and said indifferently: "You guys go out first."

When the three people left the camp as promised and closed the curtain again, He Gucai said: "Okay, it's just you and me at the moment, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zong Ling watched him silent for a while, but after a long while, his eyes gradually turned red. He raised his head to look at He Gu, and whispered like a mosquito, "Brother Ning and Brother Yan came to see me yesterday, I have already told me about that day... that day... Zong Ling was young and ignorant, arrogant and arrogant. In the past, he was rude to the general many times in the past, but the general ignored the past, saved my life twice, and was willing to give Zong Ling another chance , This kindness... This kindness is like a rebirth, Zong Ling will never forget each other in this life, and in the future... in the future, he will definitely repay the general's kindness..."

Judging from Zong Ling's reaction during the execution that day, He Gu had already guessed that the child had probably been brought back, but even though he was mentally prepared, he really did not expect that he would be so thorough after hearing what Zong Ling said. The heart-pounding, tearful confession made him a little dumbfounded.

He Gu was speechless for a long time before he said solemnly: "Okay, those of us in the army, there is no need to say these nasty words, just remember the lesson in your heart, and you must take it as a warning in your life, I don't need you to repay me What, I saved you only because you are a good man."

"The abolition of the prince in the previous dynasty conspired against him, causing a bloodbath. Many generals and civil servants were involved in it. Executions were executed. His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and now there is no one under his command. Otherwise, there is no need for a Beirong to invade. Drive the ducks to the shelves, and ask me, an inexperienced brat, to be the commander-in-chief of an army. If you want to repay me, you might as well repay the imperial court."

"You are from the south of the Yangtze River. It is a prosperous and healthy place. Before the war, your family is also well-off. You must have lived a good life with red sleeves, rich clothes and fine food. Naturally, I don't know how the people in the north have suffered so many times. The invaders from the army are always in fear, but since you are now in the army and you are old, you should understand that this dynasty is not your majesty's dynasty alone. Our Da Yue dynasty has a vast territory, and there are good days in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are also hardships in the north. Life, but without the bitter days in the North, the good days in the south of the Yangtze River will disappear one day, and there will be no eggs under the nest. It’s okay to be a mediocre and incompetent person, but since he has some ability to enjoy the people’s clothing and the court’s food and salary, then he has some ability to bear great responsibility. Don’t tell me that I saved you for nothing, do you understand? "

Zong Ling was originally looking at him with red eyes, but he didn't know what he thought of when he heard it, and his expression was obviously a little dazed. It took a long time to come back to his senses. Seeing He Gu sitting on the side of his couch looking down at him, he hurriedly said: "The general's teachings, I... I remember them all, and I will never forget them in my life."

He Gu was quite relieved when he heard the words, the secret path finally corrected the crooked seedling, nodded and said: "Just remember."

He stood up, turned around, and made a gesture to leave. Seeing this, Zong Ling hurriedly said, "Stop... the general!"

He Gu was startled, turned to look at him, and said, "What, is there anything else?"

Zong Ling seemed to be struggling in his heart. His Adam's apple rolled back and forth several times before he said, "General...does the general want the class master to return to court?"

He Gu paused, and said: "Well, we will leave tomorrow."

When Zong Ling heard this, he became anxious immediately, and said, "Then...then what should I do?"

He Gu was puzzled by his question, and said, "What should you do? Naturally, you are recuperating well."

Zong Ling blushed and said, "I...I didn't mean that."

He Gu frowned and said, "Then what do you mean, say what you have to say, and fart if you have to."

Zong Ling gritted his teeth, and said flatly: "The general has returned to the capital, so...do you want me to stay in Chenghe camp? Back then... His Majesty appointed me to be the general's deputy, not me. To Chenghe Camp..."

He Gu understood what he meant, and said, "What? You want to go back to Beijing with me?"

He thought for a while, and then said: "After I leave, if there are no accidents, the Chenghe camp will be handed over to Liu Canjun. He is also a virtuous, talented, resourceful and courageous general. You follow him. Work hard under his command, and he will not treat you badly."

Zong Ling was completely anxious when he heard the words, and said: "But...but when the general gave me medicine that day, he clearly said that if I survived, I will start again under the general's command in the future, you...you are the first army Lord general, once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow, how can...how can it be said that it is not worth it?"

He Gu didn't want him to be in a coma that day, but now he still remembered what he said at that time, he couldn't help being stunned, and said for a long time: "...I did say that that day, but now that you think about it, you are still young, if you want to You have a great future, you can get more experience in the Northland, and you can be promoted faster than returning to Beijing with me. This road is the best for you. If you live up to it, we will be ministers of the same dynasty in the future, even if we are not under my command , the same indomitable spirit, why bother to be obsessed with this..."

However, Zong Ling seemed to have never heard of it, and just said with a dull head: "Zong Ling's life was saved by the general. I only want to follow the general. Wherever you are, I will be there!"

He Gu was choked speechless by him, and after a while he said: "Could it be that you still have the desire to join Xuan Zhuwei..."

Hearing what he said, Zong Ling was immediately unhappy, and said quickly: "The general misunderstood me, Zong Ling has long since lost his mind, as long as I can follow you, I will be a personal soldier who will follow the general before and after. Zong Ling is also happy with the job, it's definitely not because he wants to go back to Beijing to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, if I have this heart, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

He Gu said helplessly: "I just remembered to ask, you just explained it, why bother to make such a poisonous oath."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "But I can't promise you this matter. Your temper still needs to be tempered. After returning to Beijing and following me, there is nothing that can benefit you. What's more, your injury is still unhealed. It is also impossible to go back to Beijing with me. In this way, if you really want to follow me, you should stay in Chenghe honestly for the past few months, recuperate well, and follow Liu Canjun to do things well. No one will save you a second time, as for the matter of returning to Beijing, we will discuss it after you recover from your injuries."

Seeing that he finally let go, Zong Ling couldn't stop stalking him, this time he finally obediently agreed, and He Gu left.

Halfway through the night, he was kicked awake by the little ancestor in his stomach, and it took him a long time to fall asleep again.

As soon as the morning light broke on the second day, the men and horses returning to the capital had already prepared their outfits. He Gu handed over the military talisman to Liu Jianshan for safekeeping according to the holy order, and the group set off in full gear.

On the way back, time passed quickly, but He Gu's eyelids twitched violently. No one knew about his worries, and no one could tell them. He secretly hoped that the carriages would go slower——

It's just that the emperor in Beijing was in a hurry, and the marching soldiers and horses were all He Gu's cronies. They moved quickly and well, and the speed naturally couldn't slow down. They had already reached the suburbs of Beijing in a few days.

He Gu drank the medicine prescribed by Yan Zhiya, and the discomfort during pregnancy was relieved for a day after leaving, but once he entered the Kunqiong Mountains, the journey was bumpy, and the medicine suddenly lost its effect. For three days in a row, he vomited every day Out of control, dizzy, at first I was still thinking about it, worrying about this and that, but now I don't have time to think about it, I'm dizzy, I don't dare to look forward to a few more days of tossing on the road, I just want to hurry Go to the capital, so that he will not continue to live in this dark and dark life.

... It is really not easy for a woman to give birth.

Fortunately, after leaving the Kunqiong Mountain Range and entering the Xishan Grassland, the terrain gradually flattened out, and he finally got better when he reached the suburbs of Beijing——

When the group arrived in the capital, it was noon on the fourth day, and the sun was shining brightly. He Gu was sleeping soundly in the carriage. Outside, Zhengye opened the curtain of the carriage and shouted: "Master! We are home!"

Only then did He Gu wake up leisurely, squinting his eyes and returning to concentration, he probed to the side of the car curtain to take a look, and sure enough, he saw the north gate of Bianjing City in front of him coming into view from a distance—

Seeing that he was awake, Zhengye said happily, "Master, I have had a good night's sleep in the past few days. We are in the capital. Miss must be looking forward to seeing you!"

Zhengye has always referred to Baoyin as the little lady, although the title of the little girl has changed between Princess Fucheng and Princess Fucheng, but in his eyes there is no difference, both are the precious daughters of his Lord Marquis, It's just the young lady of the He family.

As the saying goes, it is more timid to be close to the hometown, but thinking of the precious girl, He Gu couldn't help smiling a little, and said: "This ghost girl must have annoyed my grandmother to death these days."

During the speech, he had already reached the gate of the city, and Zheng Ye reined in his horse and went to prepare a quotation with the gate guard. He Gu closed his eyes and rested in the carriage and waited, but he didn't want to hear a sudden commotion from the other side.

"The villain waited for the general for a long time according to the order, and welcome the general to return to Beijing triumphantly!"

He Gu was taken aback, Zheng Ye seemed to be taken aback, he reined in his horse and returned to the side of the carriage, and said, "Master, come out and have a look, good guy, this is..."

He Gu raised the door curtain and bent down to get out of the carriage to take a look, but he saw that the two sides in front of the city gate had knelt down at some point, and he naturally recognized the leader, it was the head of the guard of Xuan Zhuwei——

Taking a closer look, there was a middle-aged short-bearded general dressed in dark black armor standing next to this person. It was none other than Li Qiushan, the current commander of the Imperial Army of the Fifth Gyeonggi Division.

Seeing that He Gu finally showed his head from the carriage, Li Dutong bowed his hands to him from a distance, and said with a smile: "General He, you really made me wait so long, you really are so late."

He Gu turned his head and said to Zhengye in a low voice: "...Why is there such a big battle? On the way, you asked the scouts to go to Beijing in advance and report to His Majesty when we will arrive?"

Zheng Ye was very wronged, and said: "Heaven and Earth have a conscience, the Lord told me not to go, how could I make my own decisions, I really don't have one."

He Gu could only sigh in a low voice——

He didn't want to report the itinerary to Pei Zhaoheng because he was afraid that he would be like this. Although it was indeed a triumphant return this time, if the emperor's favor was too much and the limelight was too strong, the officials would be upset for no reason. It's a lot of flying and restless, it's really unnecessary.

I don't know how Li Dutong knew that they would arrive at the city gate at noon today, but since he is already waiting here, Li Dutong is still his top peak in terms of rank, and it is the face given by the emperor, He Gu naturally can't No, immediately jumped out of the carriage, walked up to Li Qiushan, cupped his hands and smiled, "He Gu has seen Du Tong, and he asked you to come to greet him in person, I am really ashamed..."

Li Qiushan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Now you are returning to the imperial court in triumph, and you have made great achievements this time. Once you know that you are leaving, His Majesty will be thinking about it every day, so he asked me to welcome you personally. Today's guard of honor is not low. Congratulations. Brother is young, unlike me, a bad old man, the future is bound to be limitless in the future, and I hope that you will rise to the top in the future, and we old brothers will support each other a lot."

He Gu turned his eyes to look at the guards of honor lined up in the city gate, and after a short estimate, he could see that Li Qiushan's words were true. Brother Heng moved out of Dayue Dynasty to meet the highest guard of honor when he returned to Beijing. The prince is not low, and not only is it not low, such kindness and generosity, it is the first time in the new dynasty, and it is a good start in the Taiping years.

It's no wonder that Li Qiushan, who has always been as steady and experienced as a military official, can't help but say such kind words to him now.

Xuanzhu Weiwei next to him first saw that the two masters had finally finished their courtesies, so he cupped his hands carefully and said: "The general is also invited to enter the city. Your Majesty has been waiting for the general in the palace for a long time. Let's go now?"

Naturally, no one dared to make the emperor wait longer, and there was a support to greet him. The rickety carriage would definitely not be able to sit any longer. Zhengye was very discerning now, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring Yun Zhui here, and He Gu got on the horse , nodded slightly to Li Qiushan and gave a slight signal, then rode the horse in front, Li Qiushan straddled the horse behind, and the two entered the city gate together.

Just before entering the city gate, He Gu vaguely heard the commotion of people inside, and when he rode Yunzhui through the long gate of the city gate, the people on both sides cheered and cheered. The excitement of the big battle, and the great joy of the return of the young general of the dynasty, the people were naturally willing to come and watch, but the emperor had no intention of suppressing it, so naturally the whole street was full of people, full of cheers.

It’s already April, and it’s late spring, but this year’s spring seems to be going especially slowly. The peach blossoms in Bianjing City have not yet faded, and they are still blooming brightly and beautifully. He Gu is in the rain all over the streets Surrounded and marching towards the gate of the palace, with such a big battle and courteous reception, the love and joy of the common people are not fake. The peachy rumors are just sincere thanks to him for eliminating a long-term rotten scar in the Northland for the new dynasty, so that the country can recuperate, and the subjects do not have to suffer from being trampled, abused, and displaced.

He Gu looked at such faces, and his heart was warm. It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy. At this moment, the beauty made him feel like he was falling into a dream. In his previous life, Pei Zhaoyuan treated him with courtesy, but no one compared him. He Gu himself knew better that those fights between siblings and rival dynasties were just for one person's desire for power, and in this life, his bloody struggle finally seemed to have the right meaning.

After all, if a man born in a family like He Yan's family doesn't have a sincere blood in his bones, how can it be possible?

In the end, He Gu Lema stopped under the palace wall, looked up at the invisible figure on the imperial city gate from a distance, but recognized who it was at a glance——

Although the tall city gate was far away, the figure and outline of the man, with a handsome smile, were all in front of his eyes.

At this moment, it was clear that Pei Zhaoheng's expression should not be seen clearly, but He Gu felt as if he saw it clearly.

Brother Heng looked at him and smiled.

At this moment, as he walked all the way, the streets were filled with rain and joy, and the cheers seemed to have lost their color and sound. In the world, only the person above the city gate looking down at him, and the person under the city gate looking up at him were left. That person's him.

The corners of He Gu's mouth were raised little by little, he jumped off the horse, knelt down facing the city gate, cupped his hands and looked up at the man for a moment, then raised his voice and said loudly: "Your Majesty! I congratulate Gu Xing for not disgraceful , returned to Beijing in victory!"
