Substitute thought

Before the formation of the two armies, Qin Gou took Young Master Yan's hand.

At this time, Fuyou was standing on the tower opposite them.

Unfortunately, he was captured by the rebels.

What was even more unfortunate was that Qin Gou had no intention of saving him.

However, most fortunately, he was of no use to the rebels.

Riding on the horse, Qin Gou raised his head, with the calmness and confidence of an emperor on his face.

"General Liu, who did you arrest? Just say this is my favorite person?"

"A gentleman cherishes what he likes and does not show it to others. Doesn't General Liu think that the person I have shown for three years is the person I love the most?"

He raised the hands that he shook hands with Young Master Yan, looked towards the tower with a smile, and solemnly announced: "This is the person I love the most."

"Pretending to send him to the border for three years is to protect him; pretending to love the three years on the tower is also to protect him."

Every time Qin Gou said a word, Fuyou's head lowered a little on the tower.

It is so, it is so.

Don't say it, don't say it in front of so many people.

But Qin Gou's voice still reached his ears exactly.

"The one on the top of the city tower can be regarded as doing his duty well, preventing many disasters for Fuyun."

"The Empress Dowager Liu has scolded him and beat him; the speech officer has participated in several stacks of memorials; I have used him to perform a play that has been addicted to male sex for three years."

"Now, General Liu is using him as a bargaining chip to blackmail me. General Liu chooses this chip as lightly as a feather."

"However, without him, the people on the tower would be Fuyun."

"Fortunately."

Fuyou lowered his eyes, and deliberately took Qin Gou's words as a gust of wind, blowing past his ears.

But that sentence with a sigh of emotion still fell into his ears accurately.

— fortunately.

Young Master Yan's luck is the misfortune that Fuyou cannot escape.

General Liu, the powerful official who conspired on the tower, grabbed Fuyou's hands tied behind his back with hemp rope, and dragged him over.

"Is what he said true?"

Fuyou lowered his head and didn't answer.

General Liu got anxious and shook him twice: "Is it..."

Before he finished talking, General Liu found that Fuyou had already burst into tears.

Fuyou gritted his teeth, bit his lower lip, bit his cheek.He just trembled and shed tears, biting his mouth full of blood, and he would never let out a little cry.

Being trampled and humiliated in front of the two armies was the last bit of his self-esteem.

Seeing this, General Liu, who conspired to rebel, couldn't bear to press him again, but instead comforted him: "Forget it, forget it, what's there to cry about? Men don't shed tears lightly."

Under the city tower, Qin Gou straddled a tall horse, holding a longbow in his hand, reaching for the arrow in the quiver on his back.

The next moment, General Liu turned his head, and Qin Gou withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

He raised his eyebrows: "General Liu, after the previous battles, you also know in your heart that you will definitely lose this battle, and you resisted stubbornly for the sake of your sister, Empress Dowager Liu."

"You know that you are bound to lose, so last night, you arranged for someone to take Empress Dowager Liu away overnight. First go to Yuhang, and then go to sea by water. You stay here to buy her time to escape."

"Since I know her escape route, I can naturally catch up with her. Before the person I sent has returned, I will negotiate a deal with you. If you commit suicide and open the city gate to accept surrender, I will let Empress Dowager Liu live. After all She is also my mother in name."

"How about it?"

General Liu was a little shaken by what he said.

Qin Gou smiled: "Think about it as soon as possible. In half a quarter of an hour, my people will probably come back. If you want to trade again at that time, there will be no chance."

Qin Gou raised his hand to him, begging him to go at his own pace, then took Young Master Yan's hand and retreated into the army.

Qin Gou got off his horse in front of the commander's tent, returned to the tent, sat down on the chief seat, raised his feet, and looked straight ahead.

From here, the people on the other side of the tower are already very small, and they can't see clearly.

The deputy general said: "Your Majesty, why bother talking to him in vain, let's attack the city directly. I would like to lead the troops as the vanguard."

Someone took the lead, and several lieutenants stood up: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Qin Gou didn't seem to hear it. He frowned and stared at the tower for a while.

He didn't see the little squirrel move, and there was a sudden jump between his eyebrows.

He unconsciously tapped the armor with his fingers, sounding very oppressive.

Qin Gou read the time silently in his heart, and when the quarter of an hour had just expired, he stood up abruptly, picked up the long knife, and walked out of the tent.

In the exact same scene as before, Qin Gou rode a horse and leisurely walked to the front of the two armies.

He glanced back and saw a blue carriage slowly approaching on the official road in the distance.

On the tower, General Liu's face was ashen.

Qin Gou hit the nail on the head.

He was delaying time for his sister, Empress Dowager Liu. The carriage was the carriage that Empress Dowager Liu took when she fled.

was found.

Qin Gou said: "Has General Liu made up his mind? Will he die and change my sister's life, or should I kill my sister first and then kill you?"

General Liu dragged Fuyou over again: "I'll drag him to jump the tower together!"

Qin Gou nodded, with a look of indifference: "Please go ahead."

General Liu roared angrily, and threw Fuyou away again.

It's useless, Fuyou means nothing to him, and Qin Gou doesn't care about him at all.

Seeing that the carriage in which Empress Dowager Liu was riding was getting closer, Qin Gou threw the longbow to the lieutenant general, and with a clank, drew out the long knife slung around his waist.

He was looking at the saber in the sunlight, and the silver light reflected from the blade shone on his face, reflecting his murderous expression.

General Liu has no doubt that as soon as Empress Dowager Liu's carriage arrives, he will cut off Empress Dowager Liu's head in front of him.

"No! Don't touch my elder sister!" General Liu lay on the battlements, weeping blood, "I die! I commit suicide! I rebelled! It's none of her business!"

General Liu's lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward to pull him: "General, no! General, please think twice!"

Qin Gou put away the long knife with his backhand: "Okay."

General Liu was not stupid, and shouted again: "I want you to swear! You will support the queen mother until the end of her life!"

Qin Gou raised his right hand and said with a smile, "As the world bears witness, Qin Gou will never kill his mother, but will support the Empress Dowager until her death."

He wanted to withdraw his hand, met General Liu's gaze, and added: "If you break this oath, you will die without a whole body."

Although Fuyou was also on the tower, he didn't hear anything.

His ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear anything clearly, and he didn't want to hear what Qin Gou said again, it was nothing more than hurtful words.

Until there was a loud bang.

He came back to his senses and found that the rope in his hand had been untied, and he fell to the ground. General Liu who was standing on the tower was gone, and a group of his lieutenants were lying on the wall, shouting "general" .

He didn't know what happened, and wanted to stand up, but he heard Qin Gou roar, "Don't f*cking move!"

Fuyou actually didn't understand what he said, but was shocked by this sentence and sat back on the ground.

The next moment, an arrow flew towards him and shot through the head of a rebel lieutenant general.

Followed by the second arrow, the third arrow.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the warm spots hit Fuyou's face.

He curled up and hid behind the battlements.

Countless arrows flew past him, even brushing the tip of his nose.

Then Fuyou heard Qin Gou shouting from under the tower: "Siege the city!"

Then the shouts of thousands of soldiers came like a tide, flooding the entire palace in an instant.

Fuyou was engulfed in it, so he could only try his best to shrink himself into a ball.

In this battle, millions of corpses were laid down, and blood flowed like rivers.

I don't know how long it took, Fuyou felt that he fell asleep, had a dream, woke up in a trance, and was still on the tower.

A shadow loomed before him.

Fuyou rubbed his eyes and looked up.

Qin Gou stood in front of him.He was tall and tall, and he was still wearing armor. He only took off the helmet, and was carrying a long knife. Blood was still dripping from the armor, his face, and the knife.

It happened to drip on Fuyou's face.

Fuyou just looked at him, while Qin Gou lowered his head, condescending like a god, looking at him with pity.

I don't know how long the silence lasted. Finally, Qin Gou smiled and said in a joking tone, "Are you sleeping here? Can you sleep here?"

Fuyou didn't respond, just looked at him blankly.

Qin Gou held the long knife backwards and patted his cheek with the handle: "Little squirrel, are you scared to death?"

Fuyou reacted a bit, helped the ground, and tried to stand up.

He kept a posture for too long, and in such a place, his body was a little numb, and he couldn't stand still.

Fuyou managed to stand still, looked up at Qin Gou, and asked unwillingly, "Is it fake?"

Qin Gou looked into his eyes, a little irritable for no reason, just stretched out his hand covered with dust and blood, then retracted it, and finally patted the other half of his face with the handle of the knife, and asked lightly: "What's wrong with your face?" ?”

Fuyou was in a trance, seeing his series of movements, as if he understood something.

He shook his head: "It's okay."

He said "it's okay", but when Fuyou said these two words, the sharp pain hit him overwhelmingly.

He's fine, he just hurts all over.

There was a long silence, and finally Fuyou let out a long sigh of relief, his voice was too soft to hear: "I'll go see the doctor."

After he finished speaking, he was about to bypass Qin Gou and the corpses all over the floor, and was about to walk down the tower.

But he had only gone a few steps when another man in armor walked quickly up the tower, shouting, "Your Majesty!"

Fuyou couldn't help lowering his head, almost buried it in his chest.

Don't do this, don't do this, he begged God, don't let him meet Young Master Yan, at least not at this time.

But Youyou heaven wanted to treat him lightly and humiliate him.

Young Master Yan slowed down in front of him, and called out: "Fuyou..."

Fuyou lowered his head and muffledly replied, "En."

"Are you okay? Do you want me to help you?" Young Master Yan stretched out his hand towards him, "I'm sorry, because I got lost on the way here, so please come and pick me up, I didn't expect His Majesty to send everyone in the palace They all called me, I thought he would leave some people to protect you."

Fuyou wanted to avoid him, but he walked up to Fuyou and stopped him.

"After hearing that you were arrested, His Majesty and I were very worried. We had an appointment with you to come here at noon, but unexpectedly, there was heavy snow on the road, and my horse was still stuck in the snow, which delayed a little time. Are you OK?"

"Under the tower just now, His Majesty purposely said something serious in order to save you, so don't take it to heart."

"Also, thank you for the past three years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fuyou swayed and fell down the steps.

Before he passed out, he heard Young Master Yan shout: "Come here! Come here! Fuyou rolled down...Your Majesty..."

Fuyou closed his eyes, and in his dream he smelled the familiar scent of Anshenxiang.

The smell on Qin Gou's body.

It smells so bad, he wants to throw up.
