After being forced to marry the prince

When Chu Wu woke up, it was already the next morning, and Gu Baiji had already set off with his army.

Chu Wu went to the pharmacy and found that Gu Baiji had taken away all the medicines he had made. He was just relieved. He was also thankful that he had put labels on all kinds of medicines before, so there would be no mistake.

"My lord." Seeing him entering the pharmacy again, Gu Siyuan said, "Before leaving, the general told you to take care of yourself."

"I see." After Chu Wu finished speaking, seeing Chen Siyao's hesitation to speak, he smiled and said, "You are doing it for his own good, and I want to do it for his own good, so you didn't do anything wrong, so don't worry about it. "

Chen Siyuan shook her head, "Your Highness should take care of your health, it was the servant girl who was negligent before."

"Don't worry!" Chu Wu looked at the suddenly empty room, and felt that his heart was suddenly empty like this pharmacy, "I don't have anything to do."

There is a medicine garden in the general's mansion, which was freed by Chu Wu when he came to remove those precious flowers and plants. He really didn't do anything that day, just sat in the medicine garden looking at those herbs for a whole day.

Gu Baiji's expedition this time is completely different from taking Chu Wu to the old house before. He will always meet various assassins and killers, and the only thing that can be heard along the way is the wailing of refugees along the way.

Halfway through the camp, Gu Baiji sat by the bonfire, watching other people baking biscuits on the fire, for some reason, he suddenly remembered that when he was camping on the way to Qing'an, Chu Wu was very interested in wanting to barbecue. The pheasant was roasted like charcoal.

It was the first time he saw Chu Wu at a loss, he was used to being calm and calm as a noble and beautiful person, and it was quite interesting to suddenly encounter something that he was not good at.

Later, Gu Baiji rescued his pheasant, and also received two admiring gazes from His Royal Highness Ke.

It's a pity that the pheasant was destroyed by the assassins who followed before it could be eaten.

Gu Baiji threw the firewood in his hand into the fire, thinking in a daze:

I don't know what happened to that person when I left without saying goodbye this time.

The night before he left, Chu Wu was pressed into a sleeping hole by him, and before Gu Baiji left, he couldn't help but went to take another look, and Chu Wu was still asleep at that time.Gu Baiji looked at it for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pick up a strand of black hair hanging from the edge of the bed and kissed it lightly on his lips. It was the first time he felt a deep sense of reluctance after many years of expedition.

Princess Longxin Chu Yue didn't have a good time, first she was grounded by the emperor, and later the assassins sent to assassinate Chu Wu were useless.Not only that, but she also found that Gu Baiji's attention to Chu Wu was obviously much higher than her guess.

Chu Jun felt distressed seeing her depressed.

On this day, the brothers and sisters accompanied the imperial concubine to have a meal. The imperial concubine put down her chopsticks and said strangely after eating half of the meal:

"What is Long Xin doing so sullenly? Who messed with you?"

Long Xin felt wronged and wanted to say something, but she glanced at Chu Jun and said nothing.

Just as Chu Jun was about to speak, he suddenly remembered another thing: "Mother, I heard that the father invited Chu Wu into the palace to accompany him again today?"

The imperial concubine nodded, "It is true."

Chu Jun frowned, "Isn't Father inviting him into the palace too often these days?"

The imperial concubine said: "I asked you to come here today just to talk about this matter, what do you think about Chu Wu?"

Chu Jun shook his head, "If it wasn't for him hiding too deeply, then there really is nothing to worry about. He has never been in close contact with any minister, and he has never been involved in any money-making business. His own abilities are average and he has no relationship with Concubine Li. Mu, naturally there is no help behind him."

Chu Jun still knows a little about the emperor's thoughts. Speaking of this, he has found the answer to the question he asked earlier, "Father has always been suspicious, and I think this is also the reason why he is often invited to accompany him in the palace these days."

The imperial concubine nodded, "There is indeed some truth."

Chu Yue couldn't hear the two of them talking about Chu Wu all the time, whether it was good or bad, she couldn't help but hum.

The imperial concubine frowned, "What are you doing so strangely today?"

Chu Jun thought for a while and asked, "What does my concubine think of Gu Baiji?"

"That's right. If you can win him over, it will be a great help. If you can't win him over, you can't keep this person." The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at Chu Jun, "Why, have you already succeeded?"

Chu Jun shook his head, "Not only I went to him, but other people also went there, but obviously Gu Baiji has no intention of standing in line."

The imperial concubine frowned, "If you can't use a steel knife that is too powerful, you can only destroy it, otherwise the blade will be pointed at you sooner or later."

Chu Jun shook his head and said directly: "Concubine Mu, Long Xin likes him."

The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, then her face sank, and she scolded:

"Nonsense, Gu Baiji has already married Chu Wu, you are the most favored princess of Dazhao, can't you marry him and be a concubine?"

Chu Yue was even more aggrieved, and argued: "Of course I don't want to be a concubine, as long as Chu Wu disappears, then there will be no one around Gu Baiji?"

"Oh?" The imperial concubine looked at her with burning eyes, "Looking at your expression, you have already tried it, but you haven't removed it?"

Chu Yue paused, then lowered her head and remained silent.

"It's too messy." The imperial concubine lined up on the table with her palms and said angrily, "It seems that the grounding before was of no use to you. At this juncture, you dare to make trouble. What young talents are there in the court? Are you worthy of chasing a Gu Baiji?"

"Why can't I?" Long Xin's temper also came up, "If Chu Wu is married, I won't be able to marry him? What's more, Chu Wu can't have children. Is it possible that Gu Baiji will not marry in the end?"

"Is taking a concubine the same as marrying a wife?" The imperial concubine lowered her voice and said again, "What's more, how do you know that what His Majesty valued at the beginning was that he couldn't have children?"

Long Xin pursed her lips and did not speak.Chu Jun persuaded: "Concubine Mu, since Gu Bai is extremely reticent and unwilling to take refuge in me. Then it's better to find another way. Long Xin really likes him. If he can help Long Xin, it can be regarded as a way to win him over."

The imperial concubine raised her eyes and glanced at him, "That's why you put your trust in Chu Wu too early. You always think so, so why doesn't Chu Wu have such thoughts?"

Chu Jun was startled, and reacted abruptly.

Indeed, since Chu Wu is by Gu Baiji's side, he has received the greatest support from the very beginning.

The terrain in southern Xinjiang is extremely complex, with many mountains and forests, deep forests and many miasmas.

The so-called riots are actually caused by many local people who were originally forced to become bandits because of their poverty. The county government alarmed the capital.

Fortunately, the riot did not last long, and it was not a climate change.The bandits fled into the mountains again, but the impact was not great.

In the process of finding out the facts, Ze An Yu lamented:

"Corruption and bribery, foolishness and stupidity. Although the thieves and bandits should be eliminated, the county magistrate has done so on his own. It's pity for his sons and daughters, who were all thrown off the cliff."

When Gu Baiji and the others found the cliff, the scene they saw was quite terrifying.This county magistrate should have many wives and concubines, and there are more than a dozen children, from cardamom to the newborn baby, all of them were thrown incompletely, and they were piled up under the cliff.

It would be fine if these thieves were purely seeking revenge. Judging from the passing villages, they were simply plundering and bloodthirsty.

"Actually, it's not bad." The army set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and Ze An Yu and Gu Baiji walked to the empty village. Ze An Yu watched the starvation along the way, and said to Gu Baiji, "For these people, The result is either starving to death or being killed by bandits, it is always difficult to survive."

Ze An Yu paused for a moment, then raised his hand to signal: "General, look, this is the country of Emperor Dog, dilapidated and devastated. If this continues, if he is lucky enough to live a few more years, he may be lucky enough to be a subjugated king." .”

Gu Baiji thought of the emperor's body that was weakening extremely quickly, and said: "He is very lucky, I'm afraid he won't live that long."
