Rebirth of the Merry Warrior

Chapter 40 Yi Ren Has Died

In less than a month, Shen Chengqian's mansion was repaired, but he was not in a hurry to move back, and still lived in Prince Wu's mansion every day.

Anyway, Long Chenyu didn't have a wife or concubine, from outsiders' point of view, it was just that the two of them were close comrades in arms.

In a blink of an eye, it was already December, which was the coldest time of the year for Beichen.The Beichen Emperor's capital was on the northernmost side again, and it was getting colder and colder at this time.Shen Chengqian's health was not good, and he was a little afraid of the cold, so he stayed lazily in the hall with the stove every day, and seldom went out for a walk.Except for going up to the court to deal with affairs every day, it is almost impossible to leave the gate, and the second gate does not step.

Long Chenyu had to lead troops every day, so he was naturally much busier than him.Shen Cheng was in Prince Wu's mansion every day, and within a few days he became acquainted with those little servants and maids.He doesn't have any pretensions, and he is kind, and all the servants are willing to get close to him.

Once at noon, he had wine with some servants in the flower hall.Shen Chengqian didn't eat much, and he didn't do it for that, but for everyone to talk about things lively.

Unexpectedly, after drinking for three rounds, a young servant called Ban'er was so drunk that he began to cry.

At that time, Shen Chengqian was talking about the Lantern Festival with some of his servants, when he was suddenly taken aback, he hurriedly asked what was wrong.A steward next to him slapped Ban'er and shouted, "You bloody slave! My lord is drinking happily, why are you so unlucky!"

Shen Chengqian hurriedly stopped him and asked about the whole story.

But he only listened to Ban'er whining: "Slave, I just thought that when Master Gu was here, he treated us like this..."

The person in charge was obviously taken aback, but his tone slowed down, and he said after a moment of silence: "It's such a beautiful day, let's not talk about those things."

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked the boarder, "Then who is Master Gu?"

The manager hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Excellency asked what these things are for. Anyway, Mr. Gu has already gone. Today is a beautiful day, so you shouldn't talk about those things."

Shen Chengqian did not give up, and continued to say: "It seems that Mr. Gu from the past also often came to your master's house?"

Seeing that Shen Chengqian insisted on asking, the manager couldn't hide it, so he just said, "Yes. When Mr. Gu is around, he often walks with my lord."

It seems that he is an official who has a good relationship with Long Chenyu.

This is strange, these days when Shen Chengqian and Long Chenyu were together, he only felt that Long Chenyu was extremely picky in choosing friends.No matter what gold and silver mountains you have, Long Chenyu rarely has anyone he can look up to, let alone someone who can get close.

"Then who exactly is Mr. Gu? What's his name, and how did he get there?" Shen Chengqian asked the manager while holding his wine glass. "You can tell me everything, don't hide it."

Once Shen Chengqian's stubbornness came up, including Long Chenyu, no one could beat him.The person in charge thought that this was not a secret, and there was no need to offend the master because of this matter, so he told him everything.

The person in charge said: "In the past, Mr. Gu was just like him. While holding a civil position in the Imperial Academy, he also served as a military adviser for the general."

Shen Chengqian nodded while drinking.

"That Mr. Gu is quite capable. Dongni and Chaoge who refused to surrender in the past were all lobbied by him. The national army also listened to him, and in the end, they all followed suit. Surrendered. Master Gu also pacified many barbarians together with the general, and made a lot of military achievements. Not only did his official position rise all the way, the emperor even intended to make him king."

Shen Chengqian nodded.

Although it is only a short paragraph, it can hear a lot of things.

He could know that Mr. Gu was many times stronger than himself.It stands to reason that people like Beichen Yuangeng don't take care of the government much, but Mr. Gu actually managed to get Beichen Yuangeng to grant him the position of prince.Moreover, seeing how smooth his official career is, he must have gone very well with Xu Huang.

Not to offend Xu Huang, but also to get close to Long Chenyu, this should be such a smart and exquisite person.

Although Shen Chengqian had never met him, he felt a little admiration for no reason.Holding the teacup, he asked the person in charge, "So, that Mr. Gu is also a hero in the literary world through the ages."

The person in charge replied, "That's natural."

"How could such a rare person die?"

The steward sighed, and said: "It was two years ago when the general and Mr. Gu went to pacify Yunhu Lake. It is said that the journey was bumpy. Mr. Gu is a frail scholar who couldn't stand the fatigue of the horses and horses, so he suffered from a weak disease. But Mr. Gu didn't want to drag down the army, and he was very strong, so he kept hiding it and refused to tell it. But he didn't want to fight with Yunhu for half a year, Mr. Gu's body gradually became weak, and suddenly died of a sudden illness one day."

Shen Cheng frowned slightly, and said, "It's a pity."

The person in charge said: "Who says it's not? After Mr. Gu left, the emperor appointed a few civil servants and military generals to serve as military advisors to my general, but none of them were willing to vote for the general. Most of them couldn't bear it." , those who were lucky and unlucky, died on the battlefield one after another."

Shen Chengqian nodded.

It turned out that the legend that the military advisers who followed Long Chenyu would die in battle came from this way.

It's not like nothing.

It must be that those people did not share Long Chenyu's temper, so Long Chenyu didn't bother to take care of them and just let them live and die.

The person in charge poured wine for Shen Chengqian, and then said: "But it's all right now, the general has Lord Shen by his side, and the friendship between the two adults is so deep and happy, so the little ones can feel relieved."

Shen Chengqian just smiled: "I need to learn from your general, but there are still many things."

"This is the self-effacement of adults."

"By the way, I don't know what is the full name of Mr. Gu?"

The person in charge didn't even think about it, and replied: "Master Gu's single name is Cheng."

"Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng..."

Shen Chengqian murmured.

Is this the person who was always by Long Chenyu's side before he appeared?

On this day, Long Chenyu came back late for some reason and did not come back for dinner, when he arrived at the mansion, Shen Chengqian had already spread the bedding and was ready to sleep.

Long Chenyu entered the door and sat directly on the couch.Shen Chengqian was reading a book by the candlelight, knowing that he was back, but without raising his head, he just said, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"The emperor is hosting a banquet."

"That's how it is." Shen Chengqian nodded. "The emperor is also partial, why didn't you ask me to go?"

Long Chenyu laughed loudly, and said: "Are you still jealous with the emperor? Tonight's banquet is all generals, so why do you go there?"

Shen Chengqian was noncommittal, but continued: "Since it's a banquet, I should send a servant back to let me know. It's nothing if I'm waiting here for nothing. The chef in your house cooks so many good dishes, all of them are ruined." gone."

"I forgot." Long Chenyu fetched water to wash himself while taking off his clothes. "I never thought I would stay so late, it was all delayed by the song and dance choreographed by the queen at the end."

This queen was newly married by Beichen Yuanhuang half a month ago.She is the daughter of Fu Ci, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Her name is Fu Xuecheng.

"What does the emperor leave you generals to eat?"

"Who knows, maybe, it's just to talk about the harmony between the monarch and his subjects." Long Chenyu changed into his pajamas, and sat on the bed directly. "That's right, the Lingzi who the emperor sent me east to Guijiang seems to be coming down soon."

Shen Cheng slightly frowned, and said, "Is it really sending you there? Do you regard you as an envoy?"

"Maybe the emperor just thinks that I did a good job in Lingqiu, so this time, I don't bother to choose someone else." Long Chenyu said. "You know that the emperor's heart is like a needle in the sea, but who knows what his intentions are?"

Shen Cheng tilted his head slightly, and said, "General, will you still take me with you this time?"

"Of course you have to bring it." Long Chenyu hugged him. "If I don't see the military advisor, I'm sure I won't think about food and tea day and night, and I guess all the fire will be directed at Wu Lingwang."

Shen Chengqian squeezed him lightly, and said: "There are women in Guijiang, and there are many rules, if I don't look at you, I don't know what I will say wrong."

"How come."

Shen Chengqian put the book away, moved to the soft couch and lay down on his side, after a while, he suddenly said: "By the way, today I had a drink with the gang in charge of your house, guess who they told me about? "

Long Chenyu didn't care much, and then asked: "You may not know how to arrange me behind the scenes."

"What's the fun in arranging what you do." Shen Chengqian murmured. "Today, they told me about your former military adviser, Gu Cheng. I heard that, and I was very curious about that person."

Shen Chengqian was facing away from the outside, so he didn't know.

The moment he finished speaking, Long Chenyu's expression froze suddenly, his eyes stared straight at the curtain, as if he remembered something unbearable to look back on.

Shen Chengqian was still unaware of it, and said to himself: "I heard from the person in charge that Mr. Gu is also a person, but it's a pity that he left at a young age. I think, if he is still here, you must not see it." Get on me."

The spring water in Long Chenyu's eyes was frozen, and it took a long time before he responded lightly.

He originally thought that no one in this world would remember Gu Cheng anymore.

but don't want to...

In the territory of Guijiang, in Zhaonu's boudoir, the woman dressed in exquisite silver ornaments was lying sideways on the couch.Beside her, Xu Huanxi was whispering to her.

After a long time, Zhao Nu said: "I have asked the emperor to invite Beichen's envoys to come. But, why did you decide that Beichen will definitely send General Long?"

Xu Huanxi smiled faintly, and said softly: "Now the new emperor of Beichen, Beichen Yuanhuang, is suspicious. Although Long Chenyu is the hero of his founding of the country, he also knows the details of his rebellion. On the surface, he respects Long Chenyu, but secretly Li didn't know how to get rid of him for a long time. Now, he will definitely not give Long Chenyu military power anymore, but Long Chenyu is a general after all, so it's better not to be too cold. This kind of small matter is naturally will be given to him."

"But General Long is the general of a country after all. If he disappears in Guijiang, it will definitely provoke friction between the two countries."

Xu Huanxi stomped his feet: "My good princess, why don't you understand. Beichen Yuanhuang is afraid of Long Chenyu, wishing that he would die earlier. When you capture him, just find an excuse. That's it, too. It’s going to solve Beichen Yuanhuang’s heart disease, even if he pretends to be unhappy, he won’t get into it.”

"Really?"

"It's natural." Xu Huanxi smiled enchantingly. "Wait until this is done, you get Long Chenyu, I kill Shen Chengqian, you and I both can make a wish, wouldn't it be the best?"

Zhao Nu frowned, as if he still had a grudge in his heart, but he still said after a while: "Okay, I will listen to the girl."
