◎"You want it." He looked at He Liansheng and said slowly, "I'll give it to you."◎

On the eighth day after leaving the capital, they crossed Dingyun Mountain, passed through several towns, and arrived at Luwu County, which is only tens of kilometers away from Yuanding.

The night before the arrival, the army temporarily stopped to rest, and He Liansheng sat in front of the tent to drink water.

Jing Chi saw him, walked over from not far away, and said with a smile:

"Does Your Highness feel tired? Tomorrow we will join Liang Chu's soldiers and horses."

"I can hold on." He Liansheng also smiled at him, plugged the kettle tightly, and then stood up, "General Jing has worked hard leading the army these few days."

Jing Chi is a veteran.

But he has a lot of experience, and they have been rushing in these few days, shortening the itinerary by a day or two compared to the original schedule.

Moreover, Jingchi's army is strictly governed, and everyone obeys him.

He Liansheng saw it in his eyes and felt a little more admiration in his heart.

The two chatted a few words about the recent news from the palace.

Jing Chi frowned when mentioning Liang Chu's recent defeats.

"If you continue to lose, you will lose to Zongyan Pass." He sighed, and there was already worry in his eyes, "Zongyan Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Sui Xi can take advantage of this gap to drive straight in. If it reaches that point , Even if we arrive, it will not help."

This is also the reason why he is in such a hurry these days.

He Liansheng was silent for a while.

"According to General Jing." He said slowly, "Where is Liang Chu's problem?"

"Is there a problem?" Jing Chi snorted, "A eunuch can make up his mind about a major military matter, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, Liang Chu cannot be saved."

He Liansheng laughed.

"I thought." He said, "General Jing doesn't care about these things."

"Can you not care about it? Sometimes things other than fighting are much more important than the fighting itself." Jing Chi sighed, "In my opinion, Liang Chu doesn't need reinforcements at all, just drive that eunuch back. .”

He paused, pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth again: "However, this old man has also dealt with Wu Cen, and his approach is too upright and conservative, so he is not as adventurous as the Fifth Prince. This time, Sui Xi sent Chai Huan, Chai Huan His way is weird, and he is the most cunning and cunning, and it is indeed a disadvantage to meet him."

He Liansheng paused for a moment: "It seems that we have to rely on General Jing."

Jing Chi smiled, his brows were full of confidence: "The old man has been waiting for that old man for a long time."

He paused and remembered something: "That's right."

He said with concern, "Is your Highness recovering from his injuries?"

He Liansheng's fingers curled up unconsciously.

"No problem," he said.

"It's thanks to that boy Liang Chu for his timely response." Jing Chi sighed.

He Liansheng gave an "um" and turned his eyes away.

After the two tears that day, the two never got along alone again.

He Liansheng felt a little embarrassed and regretful. The strength and resistance he had pretended these days had all been wiped out by these two tears.just like……

It was as if he had lost Gu Yuan.

He thought that Gu Yuan would see the weakness in his heart and take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but Gu Yuan didn't.

On the contrary, Gu Yuan seemed to be scalded by his tears, he was flustered and helpless.

"I didn't force you." He said softly, "I didn't force you, A Sheng, I..."

He couldn't go on.

He Liansheng could see clear pain and...

Distressed.

Yes, it hurts.

This kind of emotion that Gu Yuan only had when facing his younger siblings from the front appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He Liansheng once thought that he would never see that Gu Yuan cared about him.

When he was kneeling in front of the hall, when he couldn't get out of bed for ten days and a half months, or even when he was on the bed, he couldn't get the slightest bit of love from Gu Yuan.

But now, he just shed two tears, and Gu Yuan felt distressed as if he had lost a priceless treasure.

Like this kind of thing, it really can change people into another look.

Helian Sheng thought.

Since that day, Gu Yuan has lost the previous energy of begging for nothing.

But He Liansheng could vaguely feel that he did not give up.

He just stopped asking He Liansheng persistently if he could give him another chance like before.

Facts have verified his guess.

That day, when they passed the mountainside of Dingyun Mountain, the road was wet and slippery, and He Liansheng accidentally slipped and fell.

Before he could react, he was supported by Gu Yuan. At that moment, he heard Gu Yuan's heartbeat almost overflowing his chest.

He Liansheng was spared from rolling down the hillside.

The price was a slightly twisted ankle, and the sincerity that Mr. Gu clumsily concealed.

In terms of paranoia, Gu Yuan is actually very similar to him.

After resting all night, they arrived at the camp of Liang Chu's army on the second day.

He Liansheng thought that He Lianxiao would not recognize him after not seeing him for a long time.

But I don't know if it was a vague feeling between the brothers, He Lianxiao recognized He Liansheng at a glance.

He didn't break it.It wasn't until he was in the military tent that he couldn't help but open his mouth:

"...Xiaoqi?"

There is a little uncertainty in the voice.

He Liansheng was pinched by his shoulders, and he didn't care about He Lianxiao's too heavy strength. He took off his mask and smiled:

"Fifth brother."

He Lianxiao took a deep breath, pulled him into his arms, and rubbed his hair vigorously.

"You're still alive." He whispered, "It's good."

He Liansheng was a little dazed at first, he thought that He Lianxiao would at least ask him how he survived.

But He Lianxiao hugged him tightly, making it impossible for him to ask this question.

After Wu Cen got his money, He Liansheng was sent back to rest by He Lianxiao.

He hesitated for a moment, but still stopped Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and took him to a stream not far away.

"One or two years after you returned to Northern Yin, His Highness the Fifth Highness was recalled to Beijing." Gu Yuan said, "At that time, he learned about you and His Highness the Sixth Highness, and then went to the Imperial Study Room without taking off his armor. "

He Liansheng was silent.

With He Lianxiao's temperament, it is obvious that he cannot tolerate brotherly killing, and it is possible to fall out with He Lianjin on the spot.

"Afterwards, he was placed under house arrest." Gu Yuan's tone was calm, "He was not released until the war was about to start. During this period, several princes in the fief, without exception, died of illness ' is."

He Liansheng was stunned.

He Lianxiao witnessed this, but was powerless. These things must have hit him hard.

For him, being able to stand in front of He Lianxiao alive was a great comfort to him.

He stared at the lake in a daze, and after an unknown period of time, he suddenly realized something and raised his eyes.

The moment he raised his eyes, he met Gu Yuan's gaze looking at him quietly.

Sensing his gaze, Gu Yuan paused, averted his gaze hastily, and stood up.

"...I'll go back first." He said softly, "Your Highness, don't stand for too long, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Seeing his cautious look, He Liansheng was silent for a moment, but still didn't say anything more.

However, just as Gu Yuan was about to leave, he pondered over what the other party said just now, and no matter how he pondered it, he felt that it was not quite right.

"Fifth Brother and He Lianjin are both falling apart like this." He said, "He still handed over the military power to Fifth Brother, did he take the wrong medicine?"

He Lianjin is the most aware of how suspicious he is.

It is understandable for He Lianxiao to be under house arrest but not to kill him. He Lianxiao has a lot of prestige in the army.

If he was killed directly, it is not impossible for his subordinates to directly rebel.

but……

How did he remember and let him out?

"There is no one in the court." Gu Yuan paused for a moment, "Besides, there is... my uncle is in charge. He doesn't want to be in an unstable situation."

He Liansheng looked at him thoughtfully.

"Who was the first to suggest." He said, "Let my fifth brother lead the troops?"

"Military Minister Cao Zhiming."

This time, Gu Yuan answered quickly.

He Liansheng recalled it for a while, but only remembered that the other party was a rough guy with a thick back and a waist.

If it's him, it's not...

He stared at Gu Yuan's profile, and slowly opened his mouth: "Have you ever looked for him?"

Gu Yuan's back froze.

He Liansheng narrowed his eyes: "Tell the truth."

He realized that he was a little unscrupulous towards Gu Yuan now.

but……

Anyway, Gu Yuan was afraid of him.

Do not use white do not use.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke to Gu Yuan in such a tone, Gu Yuan immediately gave up his principles.

"I've looked for it." He said softly, a little cautiously, "...I didn't say anything."

He Liansheng was about to laugh angrily.

Well, didn't say anything.

Without saying anything, Cao Zhiming, a single-minded rough guy, would suddenly think of the prince who was thousands of miles away and had no connection with him and was under house arrest.

When he mentioned this, Chaozhong didn't think of He Lianxiao at first, but now he thought of it too.

If it is at this time, then let those veterans jointly sign a letter to force He Lianjin.

With both hard and soft tactics, He Lianjin may indeed compromise.

"Master Gu." He said, "It's a good plan."

Gu Yuan didn't speak.

He Liansheng looked at him and wanted to say more, but suddenly stopped.

He was thinking, why did Gu Yuan spend so much effort to do these things, He Lianxiao clearly had nothing to do with him.

Even for him, he and He Lianxiao don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, if this person is He Lianheng, it can barely be justified.

He Lianxiao...

military power……

He Liansheng clenched his palms tightly, raised his eyes, and said slowly: "Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuan rolled his eyes, his tone was slightly cautious and...

escape.

"... General Wu will come to talk to me later." He said cautiously.

He Liansheng was about to laugh angrily at his attitude.

He took two steps forward, grabbed Gu Yuan's collar, and forcefully forced him to look at him.

"I never asked you." He said softly, "You know that I hate He Lianjin, why do you still want to be his dog?"

Gu Yuan moved his lips.

"Don't say no." He Liansheng laughed mockingly, "You know it in your heart."

He paused, "You were selected as the No. [-] scholar by my father at the beginning, and your future is bright. Even if you can't climb up for a while, after five or ten years, you will naturally be able to achieve something. Gu Yuan, why are you so anxious? "

Gu Yuan was held by the collar by him, and for some reason, his face was flushed from ear to ear.

It was only then that He Liansheng realized that because of excitement, the distance between the two of them was too close.

He Liansheng: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then let go of the other party, rubbed his temples, and still couldn't hold back:

"……What's wrong with you."

In this way, he can still be distracted, Gu Yuan won't just look at his face, right?

Should he sigh with Dugu Ya that he was born like this?

Gu Yuan was also a little embarrassed: "Is that right..."

"Okay." He Liansheng said impatiently, "Answer my question."

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, turned his eyes away, and pursed his lips.

"That's too slow." He said softly.

He Liansheng was taken aback.

Immediately, he realized that Gu Yuan was saying that according to the normal promotion speed, it was too slow.

He didn't understand: "Is your father urging you to get ahead? What are you doing so quickly?"

Gu Yuan looked at him, paused, and said something that seemed wrong: "I didn't know you were not dead."

He Liansheng was startled.

He carefully chewed Gu Yuan's words.

Didn't know he wasn't dead...

That is to say, he sold himself before his incarnation.

and then?

What did he think of: "You are here to save He Lianheng?"

In this matter, he had to admit that he had always owed Gu Yuan a favor.

"No." He said to himself, "Even if it's to save He Lianheng, you can definitely pick yourself out, you..."

He paused, "On purpose?"

Gu Yuan didn't speak.

In He Liansheng's eyes, this is almost equivalent to acquiescing.

For a moment, he was a little dazed by the huge amount of information.

"Why did you do this on purpose? You want to avenge me." He said, "Then..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

If he wanted to avenge him, no matter whether it was regicide or treason, Gu Yuan would always choose one of them.

No matter which one it is, will he still have a way out by then?

...so he said, he didn't know he wasn't dead.

If he knew he was alive, he wouldn't be so desperate.He was...

It was because of the thought of dying together with He Lianjin.

He Liansheng looked at Gu Yuan, "Are you sick?" He almost blurted out, but he swallowed it back abruptly.

He could clearly see the momentary loneliness on Gu Yuan's face.

He remembered the Gu Yuan he saw after his transformation.

He still has a gentle appearance, speaking or doing things, but reveals a vague paranoia and madness.

He believed that Gu Yuan back then could do such a thing.

And all this is because of his death.

There was a moment of silence in the air.The sound of patrolling soldiers not far away can be heard vaguely.

After a while, He Liansheng finally opened his mouth: "So, when you found out that I was still alive, why didn't you stop?"

Not only did he not stop, but in the past four years, he didn't know how Gu Yuan got to where he is today step by step.

Officials who are much older than him should also respectfully call him Mr. Gu.

It's nothing more than planning in the middle of the court, he has also been sent to the Northern Yin Dynasty this time, and secretly has contacts with He Lianxiao...

A pile of things added up, and an answer that shocked He Liansheng came out.

He looked at Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan's expression was very calm.

"I don't know if you are willing to come back." He said softly, "If you are willing..."

"I will always have the ability to protect you."

He Liansheng looked at him.

"Is that all?" he said.

They are all smart people.Gu Yuan didn't finish his sentence, but He Liansheng would not stop at the surface.

Gu Yuan suddenly smiled.

"Others, do you want?"

"You want it." He looked at He Liansheng and said slowly, "I'll give it to you."
