I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth
Chapter 58 Butterfly (2 in 1)
◎He has been looking at him. ◎
In the end, Zhu Shiyi still didn't tell He Liansheng what Gu Yuan said.
But Helian Sheng didn't care too much.
Because Sui Xi called.
One night, Chai Huan led several soldiers and horses to outflank Liang Chu's camp from the mountain.
Fortunately, even though Jingchi didn't expect Sui Xi to call so soon, he took precautions to ensure nothing would go wrong.
Sui Xi fought decisively, and retreated after realizing that Liang Chu was on guard. Neither side suffered too many casualties.
But the next day, when He Liansheng entered the tent, he still saw the worry in the eyes of He Lianxiao and others.
this means……
Sui Xi has already rested and recuperated.
"At the moment we have enough soldiers and horses, and the rest is the problem of food and grass." Jingchi glanced at Zhao Chungui, "Eunuch Zhao, I don't know when the food and grass will be delivered to Liang Chubian?"
There are fast styles of play, and slow and slow styles of play, but if the logistics can't keep up, the speed is meaningless.
"Is this..." Zhao Chungui cocked his orchid finger, drinking tea slowly, "We still have to see how the capital will manage..."
"A few days ago, I sent someone to fly the horse to deliver the letter." Gu Yuan said, "If the forecast is good, the supply should be able to keep up with it in time."
"Thank you, Master Gu." He Lianxiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Chungui's face darkened a little, but he didn't speak.
He was still somewhat afraid of Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan has a high position and authority, He Lianjin trusts him, and, very rare, He Lianjin listens to him.
This shows that Gu Yuan has some real skills.
Zhao Chungui didn't dare to despise him at all.
On the other hand, He Lianxiao, after solving his worries, said a word of concern: "Master Gu, your complexion is still a little bad, you still need to pay attention to rest."
Gu Yuan smiled at him.
He Liansheng looked at him, remembering what the other party said that day hurt his heart and lungs, he was silent for a moment, but still turned his eyes away.
All are adults.
he thinks.
If you have to be persuaded by others to cherish your body, then it is too childish.
Despite thinking this way, he couldn't help looking at Gu Yuan again.
The other party's complexion was indeed very bad, and in just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.
He Liansheng pursed his lips.
When he went back, behind everyone's back, he went to the doctor in the army.
The doctor is in his fifties, with gray hair, and he is bandaging a wound. After seeing him off, he raised his head, a little surprised.
"This is..." He narrowed his eyes and recognized it, "Is it His Royal Highness Sui Yu from Northern Yin? Is your Highness uncomfortable?"
He Liansheng hesitated for a moment.
"No." He said, "I just want to ask, has Mr. Gu Yuangu visited you for medical treatment in the past few days?"
The doctor was taken aback.
After a while, he shook his head hesitantly: "No."
"Is it Mr. Gu's old illness?" He thought for a while, and said with relief, "If this is the case, His Highness doesn't need to worry too much. Your Excellency must have some medicine on him, and there is no need to come here to see a doctor."
He Liansheng was silent for a long time, and replied, but he was thinking about another thing.
He was thinking about how serious Gu Yuan's illness was, so that the doctor in front of him would look normal when he mentioned it.
In a flash, it was a few days later.
There have been several confrontations between the two sides, which are more like temptations than winning or losing.
Jing Chi explained the reason in one word.
"They don't know how strong the Northern Yin's reinforcements are." He said, "This is the bottom line."
He paused, "This bottom, we can't be found by them."
Wu Cen frowned: "But will it..."
"I agree with what General Jing said." He Lianxiao said calmly, "Sui Xi has just fought a few battles and has not yet recovered, so he can only make small waves of temptation. If they recover and find out our bottom line, It’s going to be harder after that.”
Wu Cen thought about it and thought it was the same reason.
"Do you want to fight head-on?" he said.
He Lianxiao pondered for a moment.
"I have a proposal," he said.
Jing Chi looked at him: "Your Highness, please tell me."
He admired He Lianxiao very much.
Military generals are not like civil servants. When they are on the battlefield, they all speak with their abilities.Getting along these days, he saw that He Lianxiao had been on the battlefield for a long time. Although he was not as experienced as him, he was also extremely talented.
"In the past few days, we and Sui Xi have been testing each other. Perhaps they have relaxed their vigilance a little bit." He Lianxiao said, "If it is at this time, let a soldier go out as usual, and then Make a good deployment in secret, maybe you can beat Sui Xi back in one fell swoop."
Jing Chi laughed.
"Your Highness's thoughts coincide with the old man's."
Wu Cen pondered for a moment, and although he felt that it was a bit risky, he acquiesced to the proposal.
"So." He said, "Who should lead this army?"
"I'll go." He Lianxiao said.
Wu Cen immediately objected: "Your Highness, no!"
He Liansheng also raised his head.
Gu Yuan noticed his gaze and glanced at him.
The number of times he looked at He Liansheng has been greatly reduced recently, and this glance was because He Liansheng raised his eyes by chance.
The eyes of the two met, Gu Yuan first took his gaze away.
He Liansheng was silent for a moment, suddenly feeling a little complicated.
When Gu Yuan first came to Beiyin, He Liansheng was really annoying him.
In fact, Gu Yuan's temperament is there, even if he is "stalking", on the surface, he is forbearing and restrained.
If it was a different person, maybe he would be moved by his deep affection.
It's a pity that he was facing He Liansheng.
Having experienced the previous events, it is impossible for He Liansheng to be moved by him so easily.
The more Gu Yuan swayed in front of him, the more impetuous he felt, wishing that Gu Yuan could pack up and go back to Liang Chu directly.
but now……
Gu Yuan didn't bother him anymore, but he still didn't feel happy.
He thought that what Gu Yuan told him back then, that he was willing to do anything for him was really just fluffy nonsense.Just a few days after he finished speaking, the other party avoided him.
But when he turned around, he felt that he was making trouble for no reason.
From Gu Yuan's point of view, he and Zhu Shiyi are already together, and if he keeps chasing him, it is an obvious act of meddling.
The pride in his bones made Gu Yuan obviously unable to do such a thing.
And Helian Sheng...
He Liansheng didn't want him to do such a thing either.
why?
he thinks.
Even now, he is still unwilling to let Gu Yuan trample on himself.
... In the end, He Liansheng was still upset every day.
He slandered himself for being hypocritical in his heart, and raised his eyes. Over there, several people had already discussed the matter.
He Lianxiao first led a team as "bait" to lure Sui Xi's soldiers and horses into the trap.
This result was within Helian Sheng's expectation.
Although He Lianxiao is a prince, but He Lianjin already has a child, so he is no longer valuable as a prince.
Now, Liang Chu needs Wu Cen, and Bei Yin needs Jing Chi to sit in town. These two are Dinghai Shenzhen, and neither of them can be separated.
... In this case, He Lianxiao had to go.
When the few people walked out of the tent, He Liansheng hesitated for a moment, but still said "Take care" to He Lianxiao.
He Lianxiao smiled.
"You are in the palace." He said softly, "It was only when I was young that I saw you a lot."
"In a blink of an eye." He sighed, "It's grown so big."
"I didn't have a chance to grow so big." He Liansheng owed a word, and then saw He Lianxiao's smile.
He was very sensible, and immediately retracted what he said just now, "Don't worry about it, fifth brother, I am living a very good life in Beiyin now."
He Lianxiao closed his eyes and fell silent.
After a while, he said, "Have a good life... that's all."
He is not good at saying words that care about his younger brother, so he can only respond with such clumsy language.
But He Liansheng understood what he said.
"Good." he said.
"By the way." He Lianxiao remembered something, "You and Gu..."
He Liansheng choked.
"Brother." He felt helpless, "...Are you gossiping like this at the border?"
He Lianxiao was a little embarrassed.
"...I heard that too." He said, "I will not interfere with your affairs."
He paused, "But..."
"But?" He Liansheng looked at him.
"I also have a personal feeling. I can't see through this person." He said, "At first, I hated him because of your affairs and some of his choices. But... I found that he seemed to have no superficial So……"
He was silent for a moment, "At least, with him around, Zhao Chungui and his ilk are always afraid and dare not mess around. Overtly and secretly, he has done a lot of practical things over the years."
This is what puzzled him the most.
In his opinion, selling himself to He Lianjin is already like a running dog, seeking power and profit, so there is no conscience at all.
But Gu Yuan was not like this.He is smart and has means, but at the same time, he has protected many people in the court.
Only then did Liang Chu, who was already in a pool of stagnant water, not be on the verge of collapse, and He Lianjin, who was above the high hall, could sit back and relax for the time being.
He Liansheng's fingers hanging by his side moved.
"Really." He said.
"In short." He Lianxiao pursed his lips, "If you don't want to see him, then don't. If you still want to...you should think about it carefully."
This is because he is afraid that he will be fooled around by Gu Yuan.
He Liansheng felt a little emotional, and also felt that for such a serious and honest person as He Lianxiao, discussing the matter of masculinity with him in a serious manner, it was funny but also a little sour.
If he died, maybe he didn't know that Bianguan, he still had an older brother who would care about him so much.
"I know." He said, "Thank you Fifth Brother."
He Lianxiao let out a "hmm" and turned his eyes away.
Soon, planning began step by step.
He Liansheng hasn't seen Zhu Shiyi in the past few days, but the other party has been elusive, and he doesn't care.
When he reappeared, the other party was holding a bunch of things in his hand.
"For you." He said.
He Liansheng poked his head curiously, and found that it was a pitiful kitten.
he:"……"
"Your kind." There was a faint smile in Zhu Shishi's eyes, "Why this expression?"
He Liansheng took a deep breath.
"I'll say it again," he said, "I happened to be possessed by a cat, that's why I became a cat. It's not that I was a cat. It's not my kind at all!"
As soon as the words fell, the little milk cat in his arms "meowed" cowardly, making a babyish sound.
"The sound is not as loud as yours." Zhu Shiyi made an objective evaluation.
He Liansheng almost drove him out with a stick.
After the two had done two random moves, He Liansheng sat down on the edge of the bed, and casually pulled the kitten into his arms.
The kitten probably knew that the one in front of him was his parents, so he licked his fingers flatteringly, shrank himself into his arms, and covered He Liansheng's cat hair.
After all, He Liansheng had also been a cat before, so he was familiar with everything, but the food was limited in the military camp. In the end, he gave the kitten some milk from his share.
Then he started playing with the kitten.
"Let me give you a name." He said, "What should I call you?"
After the words fell, he paused.
He thought of the name Gu Yuan gave him back then: "A Sheng".
His affectionate ex-husband pinned his thoughts that he had nowhere to vent to a cat.
The strangest thing is that this cat is indeed the deity of the object he misses.
...It is really absurd to anyone who hears it.
Helian Sheng smiled.
"You can call me Xiaoqi." He said.
Xiaoqi is dead.
He died in Lengyueju, so the name no longer belonged.
Since it is his cat, it is only natural to inherit his nickname.
After feeding the cat, it had been a long time. He took a look at the dark color and unconsciously clenched his palms.
Tonight is the time for war.
He Liansheng didn't dare to sleep that night, and kept guard in the tent. It stands to reason that there would be news in the middle of the night.
But the sound of footsteps outside hurriedly sounded wave after wave, but there was still no news of success.
Until dawn, he was about to fall asleep drowsily, but suddenly heard a loud cry:
"We won, we won!"
He Liansheng stood up immediately, and the kitten beside him raised his face.
"Stay here obediently." He Liansheng said softly, and then he hurried out of the tent.
As the dawn dawned, wounded soldiers were carried back to the camp one after another.
Many of them were familiar to He Liansheng, who greeted him one by one, he hurriedly opened the curtain of the military tent, and was about to speak when he saw Jing Chi's cold and serious face.
He Liansheng's originally excited mood cooled down.
"How……"
"We won." Wu Cen sighed, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness did an excellent job. Sui Xi fell into our trap without any doubt. We won a big victory. Now, Sui Xi has been pushed back by us for several months. outside the boundaries of the previous. But..."
He couldn't bear it, "In order to lure the enemy, His Royal Highness led a small number of soldiers and horses for a long time, but was captured by Chai Huan."
He Liansheng suddenly raised his eyes.
"Chai Huan, you bastard!" Jing Chi gritted his teeth, "He knows how to use dirty tricks! He's going after him!"
"Indeed." Wu Cen said softly, "However, he is suspicious by nature. If His Highness the Fifth Highness hadn't put himself in danger, he probably wouldn't have believed His Highness's flaws..."
"so what?"
After hearing what they said, He Liansheng opened his mouth, his voice trembling.
Among the people present, except for Gu Yuan, no one knew about his relationship with He Lianxiao.
Right now, when he asked such a question, both of them were a little surprised.
Zhao Chungui even cast his suspicious eyes on He Liansheng.
Something landed lightly on his shoulder, and He Liansheng came back to his senses, only to realize that Gu Yuan patted him lightly.
He was signaling He Liansheng not to lose his composure.
He Liansheng closed his eyes and calmed down.
"Chai Huan captured His Highness Fifth." Gu Yuan said softly, "It must be to exchange him for something. Either satisfy his request, or..."
He paused, and uttered a calm sentence, "Hit him until he can't make any more demands."
Several people present fell silent.
"Indeed." Jing Chi said softly, "The victory in this battle was hard-won, or... all previous efforts will be wasted. Or, His Highness the Fifth Highness will only have to suffer."
Everyone knows that this is a nice way of saying it.
It is said to be suffering, but in fact it is giving up in disguise.
As Jing Chi said, this is a breakthrough to repel Sui Xi, if all previous efforts are wasted for the sake of a hostage, the loss outweighs the gain.
According to common sense, with He Lianxiao's identity, Sui Xi would not really kill him.
However, no one knows what people will do when they are pushed.
It's a gamble.
When stepping out of the tent, He Liansheng suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Supporting him with both hands, the voice in the ear was a little anxious:
"Asheng!"
He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.
Gu Yuan took his hand back, hiding the worry that was about to overflow in his eyes at a certain moment.
He restrained and retracted his hands to his side, but he was always paying attention, for fear that He Liansheng would feel uncomfortable again.
"I haven't slept all night." He said, "Go back and have a rest."
He Liansheng didn't answer him.
After a while, he said, "General Wu...how will he decide?"
Gu Yuan paused.
In fact, He Liansheng knew the answer in his heart, but he basically had no way to think now.
He unconsciously looked at Gu Yuan, with a faint plea for help in his eyes.
Gu Yuan's heart trembled when he was stared at by such eyes, so he turned his eyes away.
"When His Highness set off, he once told General Wu." He whispered, "If he is captured, you don't have to think about saving him, and you don't have to think about exchanging him for anything."
He Liansheng's eyelashes trembled.
"Your Highness knows that this is a narrow escape." Gu Yuan spat out cruel words word by word, "General Wu and General Jing also know about it."
"And the imperial court." He Liansheng looked at it, and said in a low voice, "He Lianjin wished for him to die, so he wouldn't make the slightest effort for it, would he?"
Gu Yuan nodded, as a tacit consent.
He Liansheng closed his eyes.
"...Your Highness." Gu Yuan called him in a low voice.
"When I was young." He Liansheng said softly, "My fifth brother played with me. I was very spoiled at that time, I threw aside all the little things he gave me, and he picked them up over and over again."
Gu Yuan moved his lips.
why?
He Liansheng thought in a daze.
Some people live high above the temple and enjoy thousands of offerings, but what they think about is how to stabilize their throne.The sand and bloody smell at the border will never reach the capital.
There are people guarding the border, suffering from suspicion, scheming, and distrust, but they still go into danger time and time again for the land and people under their feet, and when they really reach a desperate situation, many people still want him to die.
...why.
He took a deep breath and turned around.
"Your Highness!"
Gu Yuan called him.
"Sorry." He Liansheng closed his eyes, "Master Gu, I don't have time to tell you what's right now."
Gu Yuan paused for a moment.
He Liansheng could feel his gaze resting on his back for a long time.
He is a little irritable.
After a long time, Gu Yuan opened his mouth.
"Your Highness." He said, "Chai Huan will not kill His Highness Fifth. Although he is cunning, he knows how to measure."
He paused, "The battle has been fought to this day. Although Liang and Chu have lost a lot of battles before, the loss to Sui Xi is also great. This loss has exceeded their expectations. This time, it is another defeat. Suixi's royal family should already be thinking about making peace."
He Liansheng clenched his palms tightly.
"I know." He whispered, "but..."
He laughed, "What if?"
He closed his eyes.
"You don't need to persuade me, I know how to measure." He said.
Putting He Lianjin's thoughts aside, Wu Cen and Jing Chi finally chose to give up for the time being, let alone He Lianxiao's own ideas.
Although he was worried about He Lianxiao, he didn't even lose sight of the overall situation.
He just...
After living a peaceful and happy life in the Northern Yin Dynasty, he could not accept such a miserable and bloody reality.
He waited for Gu Yuan to leave, but Gu Yuan still did not leave.
"Does Your Highness really hope that His Highness Fifth will come back?" He asked softly.
He Liansheng felt that he had said something nonsense.
"Is there anything you can do?" he said.
That's what he said, but he didn't hold out much hope.
Because even he couldn't think of any good way to replace He Lianxiao in a while.
Gu Yuan didn't speak any more.
He Liansheng was so upset at this moment, and he was not in the mood to care what he was thinking, so he left the tent.
When we went back, it was already noon, and He Liansheng stayed up all night and one morning. Although his heart was anxious, he still couldn't beat the exhaustion of his body.
He fell into a drowsy sleep.
Then, he had a dream.
In the dream, it was when he and Gu Yuan hadn't gone irretrievably.
He was sitting in the yard playing with flowers and plants while Gu Yuan was reading a book.
After a while, He Liansheng put the basin in front of him.
"Look." He said, "Rosa rose."
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment.
He saw the strangely pruned flowers in front of him.
"Does your Highness think it looks good?" He asked.
"Of course." He Liansheng said proudly.
Gu Yuan smiled.
He was always a little helpless when he was with He Liansheng, making He Liansheng very childish.
He Liansheng would sometimes be unconvinced, and then he was coaxed by him.
After hearing what he said, He Liansheng didn't believe in evil, and planned to repair the pot of roses again.
Then, he glanced at Gu Yuan's book from the corner of his eye.
It is clearly said to be reading, but Gu Yuan's book has never been turned even a page.
He keeps looking at him.
He Liansheng suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily.
... dreamed of Gu Yuan again.
he thinks.
In fact, he once hated Gu Yuan, hated his superb and superb acting skills.
But then, he felt sorry for him again.
Some things just don't work out.
On the contrary, it will be like a belated and long-lasting sting, which will make people dripping with blood.
Dreaming back at midnight, Gu Yuan didn't know if he would regret that he didn't notice earlier that he fell in love with him so early.
He rubbed his temples, turned over and got out of bed, but suddenly felt uneasy.
At this moment, Zhu Shiyi lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Is Xiaoqi going to drink milk?" He Liansheng remembered something.
He was so anxious just now that he almost forgot about the kitten who was staying in his tent just now.
Fortunately, there is a Bamboo Eleven.
Zhu Shishi didn't speak, after a while, he said: "Hey."
"Okay." He Liansheng nodded, planning to drink some water.
"Your brother is back." Zhu Shishi said.
Just as He Liansheng's lips touched the rim of the cup, he was startled suddenly:
"what?"
He stood up, a little excited: "Fifth Brother?"
"En." Zhu Shiyi said.
He Liansheng looked at his expression and calmed down: "Is it in exchange for... what?"
Sui Xi would not let He Lianxiao go so easily, she must have made some kind of deal.
A very strange look appeared on Zhu Shishi's face.
"No." he said.
He Liansheng was startled.
"Maybe there is." Zhu Shixi paused, "It's just a one-for-one exchange."
"One change..."
He Liansheng repeated two words and suddenly raised his eyes.
"You guessed right." Zhu Shishi said calmly, "Gu Yuan took himself as a hostage and exchanged your brother from Sui Xi."
"One for one, now, he should already be in Sui Xi's prison."
The author says:
Although I was on leave, I caught up with it!
Praise myself (.

Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 40 bottles of Lili; more fun eating sugar, 1 bottle of Yaoyao;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
In the end, Zhu Shiyi still didn't tell He Liansheng what Gu Yuan said.
But Helian Sheng didn't care too much.
Because Sui Xi called.
One night, Chai Huan led several soldiers and horses to outflank Liang Chu's camp from the mountain.
Fortunately, even though Jingchi didn't expect Sui Xi to call so soon, he took precautions to ensure nothing would go wrong.

"I didn't have a chance to grow so big." He Liansheng owed a word, and then saw He Lianxiao's smile.
He was very sensible, and immediately retracted what he said just now, "Don't worry about it, fifth brother, I am living a very good life in Beiyin now."
He Lianxiao closed his eyes and fell silent.
After a while, he said, "Have a good life... that's all."
He is not good at saying words that care about his younger brother, so he can only respond with such clumsy language.
But He Liansheng understood what he said.
"Good." he said.
"By the way." He Lianxiao remembered something, "You and Gu..."
He Liansheng choked.
"Brother." He felt helpless, "...Are you gossiping like this at the border?"
He Lianxiao was a little embarrassed.
"...I heard that too." He said, "I will not interfere with your affairs."
He paused, "But..."
"But?" He Liansheng looked at him.
"I also have a personal feeling. I can't see through this person." He said, "At first, I hated him because of your affairs and some of his choices. But... I found that he seemed to have no superficial So……"
He was silent for a moment, "At least, with him around, Zhao Chungui and his ilk are always afraid and dare not mess around. Overtly and secretly, he has done a lot of practical things over the years."
This is what puzzled him the most.
In his opinion, selling himself to He Lianjin is already like a running dog, seeking power and profit, so there is no conscience at all.
But Gu Yuan was not like this.He is smart and has means, but at the same time, he has protected many people in the court.
Only then did Liang Chu, who was already in a pool of stagnant water, not be on the verge of collapse, and He Lianjin, who was above the high hall, could sit back and relax for the time being.
He Liansheng's fingers hanging by his side moved.
"Really." He said.
"In short." He Lianxiao pursed his lips, "If you don't want to see him, then don't. If you still want to...you should think about it carefully."
This is because he is afraid that he will be fooled around by Gu Yuan.
He Liansheng felt a little emotional, and also felt that for such a serious and honest person as He Lianxiao, discussing the matter of masculinity with him in a serious manner, it was funny but also a little sour.
If he died, maybe he didn't know that Bianguan, he still had an older brother who would care about him so much.
"I know." He said, "Thank you Fifth Brother."
He Lianxiao let out a "hmm" and turned his eyes away.
Soon, planning began step by step.
He Liansheng hasn't seen Zhu Shiyi in the past few days, but the other party has been elusive, and he doesn't care.
When he reappeared, the other party was holding a bunch of things in his hand.
"For you." He said.
He Liansheng poked his head curiously, and found that it was a pitiful kitten.
he:"……"
"Your kind." There was a faint smile in Zhu Shishi's eyes, "Why this expression?"
He Liansheng took a deep breath.
"I'll say it again," he said, "I happened to be possessed by a cat, that's why I became a cat. It's not that I was a cat. It's not my kind at all!"
As soon as the words fell, the little milk cat in his arms "meowed" cowardly, making a babyish sound.
"The sound is not as loud as yours." Zhu Shiyi made an objective evaluation.
He Liansheng almost drove him out with a stick.
After the two had done two random moves, He Liansheng sat down on the edge of the bed, and casually pulled the kitten into his arms.
The kitten probably knew that the one in front of him was his parents, so he licked his fingers flatteringly, shrank himself into his arms, and covered He Liansheng's cat hair.
After all, He Liansheng had also been a cat before, so he was familiar with everything, but the food was limited in the military camp. In the end, he gave the kitten some milk from his share.
Then he started playing with the kitten.
"Let me give you a name." He said, "What should I call you?"
After the words fell, he paused.
He thought of the name Gu Yuan gave him back then: "A Sheng".
His affectionate ex-husband pinned his thoughts that he had nowhere to vent to a cat.
The strangest thing is that this cat is indeed the deity of the object he misses.
...It is really absurd to anyone who hears it.
Helian Sheng smiled.
"You can call me Xiaoqi." He said.
Xiaoqi is dead.
He died in Lengyueju, so the name no longer belonged.
Since it is his cat, it is only natural to inherit his nickname.
After feeding the cat, it had been a long time. He took a look at the dark color and unconsciously clenched his palms.
Tonight is the time for war.
He Liansheng didn't dare to sleep that night, and kept guard in the tent. It stands to reason that there would be news in the middle of the night.
But the sound of footsteps outside hurriedly sounded wave after wave, but there was still no news of success.
Until dawn, he was about to fall asleep drowsily, but suddenly heard a loud cry:
"We won, we won!"
He Liansheng stood up immediately, and the kitten beside him raised his face.
"Stay here obediently." He Liansheng said softly, and then he hurried out of the tent.
As the dawn dawned, wounded soldiers were carried back to the camp one after another.
Many of them were familiar to He Liansheng, who greeted him one by one, he hurriedly opened the curtain of the military tent, and was about to speak when he saw Jing Chi's cold and serious face.
He Liansheng's originally excited mood cooled down.
"How……"
"We won." Wu Cen sighed, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness did an excellent job. Sui Xi fell into our trap without any doubt. We won a big victory. Now, Sui Xi has been pushed back by us for several months. outside the boundaries of the previous. But..."
He couldn't bear it, "In order to lure the enemy, His Royal Highness led a small number of soldiers and horses for a long time, but was captured by Chai Huan."
He Liansheng suddenly raised his eyes.
"Chai Huan, you bastard!" Jing Chi gritted his teeth, "He knows how to use dirty tricks! He's going after him!"
"Indeed." Wu Cen said softly, "However, he is suspicious by nature. If His Highness the Fifth Highness hadn't put himself in danger, he probably wouldn't have believed His Highness's flaws..."
"so what?"
After hearing what they said, He Liansheng opened his mouth, his voice trembling.
Among the people present, except for Gu Yuan, no one knew about his relationship with He Lianxiao.
Right now, when he asked such a question, both of them were a little surprised.
Zhao Chungui even cast his suspicious eyes on He Liansheng.
Something landed lightly on his shoulder, and He Liansheng came back to his senses, only to realize that Gu Yuan patted him lightly.
He was signaling He Liansheng not to lose his composure.
He Liansheng closed his eyes and calmed down.
"Chai Huan captured His Highness Fifth." Gu Yuan said softly, "It must be to exchange him for something. Either satisfy his request, or..."
He paused, and uttered a calm sentence, "Hit him until he can't make any more demands."
Several people present fell silent.
"Indeed." Jing Chi said softly, "The victory in this battle was hard-won, or... all previous efforts will be wasted. Or, His Highness the Fifth Highness will only have to suffer."
Everyone knows that this is a nice way of saying it.
It is said to be suffering, but in fact it is giving up in disguise.
As Jing Chi said, this is a breakthrough to repel Sui Xi, if all previous efforts are wasted for the sake of a hostage, the loss outweighs the gain.
According to common sense, with He Lianxiao's identity, Sui Xi would not really kill him.
However, no one knows what people will do when they are pushed.
It's a gamble.
When stepping out of the tent, He Liansheng suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Supporting him with both hands, the voice in the ear was a little anxious:
"Asheng!"
He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.
Gu Yuan took his hand back, hiding the worry that was about to overflow in his eyes at a certain moment.
He restrained and retracted his hands to his side, but he was always paying attention, for fear that He Liansheng would feel uncomfortable again.
"I haven't slept all night." He said, "Go back and have a rest."
He Liansheng didn't answer him.
After a while, he said, "General Wu...how will he decide?"
Gu Yuan paused.
In fact, He Liansheng knew the answer in his heart, but he basically had no way to think now.
He unconsciously looked at Gu Yuan, with a faint plea for help in his eyes.
Gu Yuan's heart trembled when he was stared at by such eyes, so he turned his eyes away.
"When His Highness set off, he once told General Wu." He whispered, "If he is captured, you don't have to think about saving him, and you don't have to think about exchanging him for anything."
He Liansheng's eyelashes trembled.
"Your Highness knows that this is a narrow escape." Gu Yuan spat out cruel words word by word, "General Wu and General Jing also know about it."
"And the imperial court." He Liansheng looked at it, and said in a low voice, "He Lianjin wished for him to die, so he wouldn't make the slightest effort for it, would he?"
Gu Yuan nodded, as a tacit consent.
He Liansheng closed his eyes.
"...Your Highness." Gu Yuan called him in a low voice.
"When I was young." He Liansheng said softly, "My fifth brother played with me. I was very spoiled at that time, I threw aside all the little things he gave me, and he picked them up over and over again."
Gu Yuan moved his lips.
why?
He Liansheng thought in a daze.
Some people live high above the temple and enjoy thousands of offerings, but what they think about is how to stabilize their throne.The sand and bloody smell at the border will never reach the capital.
There are people guarding the border, suffering from suspicion, scheming, and distrust, but they still go into danger time and time again for the land and people under their feet, and when they really reach a desperate situation, many people still want him to die.
...why.
He took a deep breath and turned around.
"Your Highness!"
Gu Yuan called him.
"Sorry." He Liansheng closed his eyes, "Master Gu, I don't have time to tell you what's right now."
Gu Yuan paused for a moment.
He Liansheng could feel his gaze resting on his back for a long time.
He is a little irritable.
After a long time, Gu Yuan opened his mouth.
"Your Highness." He said, "Chai Huan will not kill His Highness Fifth. Although he is cunning, he knows how to measure."
He paused, "The battle has been fought to this day. Although Liang and Chu have lost a lot of battles before, the loss to Sui Xi is also great. This loss has exceeded their expectations. This time, it is another defeat. Suixi's royal family should already be thinking about making peace."
He Liansheng clenched his palms tightly.
"I know." He whispered, "but..."
He laughed, "What if?"
He closed his eyes.
"You don't need to persuade me, I know how to measure." He said.
Putting He Lianjin's thoughts aside, Wu Cen and Jing Chi finally chose to give up for the time being, let alone He Lianxiao's own ideas.
Although he was worried about He Lianxiao, he didn't even lose sight of the overall situation.
He just...
After living a peaceful and happy life in the Northern Yin Dynasty, he could not accept such a miserable and bloody reality.
He waited for Gu Yuan to leave, but Gu Yuan still did not leave.
"Does Your Highness really hope that His Highness Fifth will come back?" He asked softly.
He Liansheng felt that he had said something nonsense.
"Is there anything you can do?" he said.
That's what he said, but he didn't hold out much hope.
Because even he couldn't think of any good way to replace He Lianxiao in a while.
Gu Yuan didn't speak any more.
He Liansheng was so upset at this moment, and he was not in the mood to care what he was thinking, so he left the tent.
When we went back, it was already noon, and He Liansheng stayed up all night and one morning. Although his heart was anxious, he still couldn't beat the exhaustion of his body.
He fell into a drowsy sleep.
Then, he had a dream.
In the dream, it was when he and Gu Yuan hadn't gone irretrievably.
He was sitting in the yard playing with flowers and plants while Gu Yuan was reading a book.
After a while, He Liansheng put the basin in front of him.
"Look." He said, "Rosa rose."
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment.
He saw the strangely pruned flowers in front of him.
"Does your Highness think it looks good?" He asked.
"Of course." He Liansheng said proudly.
Gu Yuan smiled.
He was always a little helpless when he was with He Liansheng, making He Liansheng very childish.
He Liansheng would sometimes be unconvinced, and then he was coaxed by him.
After hearing what he said, He Liansheng didn't believe in evil, and planned to repair the pot of roses again.
Then, he glanced at Gu Yuan's book from the corner of his eye.
It is clearly said to be reading, but Gu Yuan's book has never been turned even a page.
He keeps looking at him.
He Liansheng suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily.
... dreamed of Gu Yuan again.
he thinks.
In fact, he once hated Gu Yuan, hated his superb and superb acting skills.
But then, he felt sorry for him again.
Some things just don't work out.
On the contrary, it will be like a belated and long-lasting sting, which will make people dripping with blood.
Dreaming back at midnight, Gu Yuan didn't know if he would regret that he didn't notice earlier that he fell in love with him so early.
He rubbed his temples, turned over and got out of bed, but suddenly felt uneasy.
At this moment, Zhu Shiyi lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Is Xiaoqi going to drink milk?" He Liansheng remembered something.
He was so anxious just now that he almost forgot about the kitten who was staying in his tent just now.
Fortunately, there is a Bamboo Eleven.
Zhu Shishi didn't speak, after a while, he said: "Hey."
"Okay." He Liansheng nodded, planning to drink some water.
"Your brother is back." Zhu Shishi said.
Just as He Liansheng's lips touched the rim of the cup, he was startled suddenly:
"what?"
He stood up, a little excited: "Fifth Brother?"
"En." Zhu Shiyi said.
He Liansheng looked at his expression and calmed down: "Is it in exchange for... what?"
Sui Xi would not let He Lianxiao go so easily, she must have made some kind of deal.
A very strange look appeared on Zhu Shishi's face.
"No." he said.
He Liansheng was startled.
"Maybe there is." Zhu Shixi paused, "It's just a one-for-one exchange."
"One change..."
He Liansheng repeated two words and suddenly raised his eyes.
"You guessed right." Zhu Shishi said calmly, "Gu Yuan took himself as a hostage and exchanged your brother from Sui Xi."
"One for one, now, he should already be in Sui Xi's prison."
The author says:
Although I was on leave, I caught up with it!
Praise myself (.
