emperor of a dynasty

Chapter 85 Extra Story: Those Years I Missed 1

Many years ago, when Gu Mingchu first joined the army, a younger brother in the same army once asked her what her dream was at night under the stars.Gu Ming lay on a piece of grass, and said in a daze that he wanted to disarm and return to the fields, and go home to farm.After hearing this, the younger brother only laughed at Gu Ming for being too young to know the name of the bridge.Then one day, on a certain battlefield, the little brother who once laughed and asked her about her dreams died in battle. Gu Ming searched through hundreds of corpses before finding that person on the battlefield. My little brother, surnamed Chen, was lying on a pile of bones The lifeless appearance of being hit really didn't tell that it was the boy who took her over the wall to the kitchen to steal steamed buns for her to eat when he first entered the military camp.

Chen Sheng died, Gu Ming couldn't take his body away, so he came back from the battlefield with a wooden plaque engraved with his name, maybe it was my little brother who blessed her in the sky, in so many battles, she may have recovered from the dead She climbed out of the pile, and slowly, she was promoted to corporal commander, then to battalion commander, and finally to a seventh-rank young general.

The general is Gongsun Ju, an old man who cherishes his talents and treats Gu Ming very well.After the Battle of Bashu, Gu Ming became famous in the first battle. The old general asked her what reward she wanted?What rank do you want?Gu Ming knelt on the ground and was stunned for a while, then said, "I want to disarm and return to the fields, and go home to farm."

The old general laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "Gu Ming, Gu Ming, you are the most talented soldier I have ever seen. Go home to farm? Haha, you shouldn't go home to farm, you should go to The biggest battlefield, facing the most powerful enemy, to win the territory for Qin! Do you understand?"

Gu Ming didn't understand, and couldn't understand.

She originally joined the army under the name of her twin brother. If that incident hadn't happened back then, maybe she would have been the mother of several children now, guarding a field, with her children and grandchildren around her knees--unlike everything in this world. Like most women.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world. Everything was doomed from the very beginning. She joined the army, became a soldier, and climbed to the top of the general step by step. On that day in the early winter of the second year, that day was the day when she followed the old general Gongsun Ju to the palace to meet the king. In the imperial study room, she saw the face of the legendary first female queen of the Qin Kingdom, Murong Yan, for the first time. The appearance of the king is clean and beautiful, which is rare among young people. He has black hair reaching his waist and wears a crown. He looks very humble. When he talks to the old general, his voice is very slow and respectful.

As the name suggests, the king should be a very powerful person, who came back from a place as far away as Qianzhou and took over the state of Qin, which was in chaos at that time.But such a person seems to be beyond her understanding of secular women: she has never known that a woman can also live so carefree, turning her hands into clouds and hands into rain.

It was on that day that she met Murong Xi. In her impression, it was the first time they met, but later Murong Xi told her that they had met each other for a long time, "I remember your appearance. Passing by in the garden, I saw you coming out of Sister Wang's study, and I saw you from a distance. The young general looks like a hero in my imagination. I want to marry you, so I fell into the lake .”

It's just that she didn't know this at the time. She was the last one to leave the imperial study after meeting the king that day. The brothers in the previous robe had all gone to the military department for filing. Naturally, she was no exception.

She followed the two palace servants along the imperial study to the military headquarters in the north, and when passing by the imperial garden, she suddenly heard a noise, and when she got closer, she heard a court lady shouting, "Come here! The princess has fallen into the water! The princess has fallen into the water! "

She looked over from a distance, martial arts practitioners have very good eyesight, so she naturally saw the woman who was struggling desperately in the pool, that woman seemed to be unable to swim, and had already choked in the pool A few sips of water, the faces of the palace servants on the bank turned pale with anxiety, they could only worry on the bank as they didn't know how to swim.

It's cold in the winter in the capital, and it's a girl's house. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will kill someone, so Gu Ming didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed forward with a few strides, and then plunged into the water.

People who can't swim will mostly subconsciously hold on to the rescuer when they fall into the water because of panic, which will affect the other person's ability to swim ashore. In severe cases, both the rescuer and the drowning person will die due to exhaustion. sink into the water.Gu Ming naturally knew it, she was decisive by nature, and after catching the woman who fell into the water, she knocked her unconscious with a knife, and then carried her to the shore.

As soon as they landed, two women who looked like the princess's personal servants rushed up with fleece coats and snatched their master from her arms, "Your Highness? Your Highness!?"

She took a few breaths, stood up, and the two palace servants who showed her the way just now also came, "General..."

While talking, a majestic voice came from far and near, "—Where is the imperial doctor?! The imperial doctor has not yet been sent! What are you doing around?!"

Everyone was shocked for a moment, they all knelt down in a row, and a courageous palace man said, "Go, go back to the king... I have already gone to teach the imperial physician."

Gu Ming looked up, and indeed saw the king whom he had just met in the imperial study, and immediately knelt down and said, "I... Gu Ming, pay my respects to the king."

Murong Xi walked past the crowd with a livid face, and looked at Murong Xi who was lying on the ground soaked and seemingly fainted, "What's going on?!"

Her gaze swept away, and she naturally fell on Gu Ming who was kneeling on the side, who was also drenched, and frowned, "General Gu?"

"I'm disrespectful in front of you, and I hope the king will forgive me." Gu Ming bowed to the king, and said, "I just passed by here and saw... the princess fell into the water, so I jumped into the water...I know I have offended you. Your Royal Highness, please forgive the king." She lowered her eyebrows and bowed.

Hearing this, the king just said, "Really?" She looked at Princess Qinghe who was lying on the ground, and said, "Where's the imperial doctor? Did he die on the way?!"

Gu Ming's eyebrows twitched, and he thought to himself that the king's temper is not very good.

The two personal maidservants of the princess were still kneeling beside the princess and calling for the princess. They seemed to be afraid that something would happen to the princess. Gu Ming is a warrior with a heart, so she said, "The king said: The last general just now Desperate to save people, so...he knocked the Princess unconscious, and now the imperial physician is coming, His Highness the Princess is worth a thousand dollars, so there is no delay, so can you let the general try...then there will be a way to wake the princess."

Hearing this, the king glanced at her casually, his eyes full of inquiry, but it was only a glance, and he slightly nodded and said, "It's the best."

And the two maids guarding Murong Xi's side looked at each other after hearing this, and retreated to the side with lowered eyes.

Gu Ming bowed to the king, then stepped forward and stretched out his hand to press the princess's belly upwards a little, exerted a little force, and pressed:

"Ahem...cough cough cough..." The next moment the Princess coughed up the accumulated water in her belly and woke up leisurely.

Seeing this, Gu Ming lowered his eyes and stepped aside.

"Princess, you are awake, I am afraid that you will scare the slave to death..."

"I don't dare to take the princess to the pool anymore, I should die! I should die!"

"Princess, what's wrong with you? I have called the imperial physician, and the imperial physician will come soon..."

"I'm fine...cough cough—" the princess woke up and saw the king standing in front of her, "Sister Wang?"

Facing his sister, His Majesty's expression seemed to be a little gentler, "How do you feel?"

"Thank you, Sister Wang, for your concern, ahem...Qinghe is fine..."

The king nodded, looked sideways at Gu Ming who was kneeling beside him, and said, "It was General Gu who saved you."

Gu Ming's eyebrows twitched, and he was a little panicked when he heard such an understatement from the king. He immediately leaned over and saluted, "Your Majesty Gu Ming, I have seen His Majesty the Princess, and I am sorry for your dishonesty. .”

The woman known as Princess Qinghe laughed when she heard this, "You saved me?"

"The minister saw His Highness fell into the water, so he jumped into the water in a moment of impatience... If there is any offense, His Highness please punish him."

The servant helped His Highness to stand up. Her figure was a little thin, and her smile was very energetic. She saluted her slowly, "You saved me, I should thank you."

As a subject, Gu Ming naturally did not dare to accept the word "thank you" from the princess. She was afraid and did not dare to accept it, her whole face flushed red, and she could only speak dully to ask His Highness for forgiveness. After hearing this, he laughed, "The general is so timid, isn't he a man afraid of guilt?"

After being teased by the king, Gu Ming blushed even more, and the heat on his face did not disappear until he left the palace. When he arrived at his mansion, he was misunderstood by the housekeeper as suffering from a cold, and he desperately wanted to find a doctor. Gu Ming naturally didn't dare to ask a doctor to see him, so he asked someone to boil a bowl of ginger soup and went to bed early.

That night, she slept well.

Then, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

She thought that she and the princess just met once, but half a month later, the old general suddenly sent someone to ask her to go to the general's mansion. When he arrived at the general's mansion, the old general asked straight to the point, "Have you seen Qinghe?" Princess?"

She froze for a moment, then replied, "Yes..."

"I heard that the princess fell into the water in the palace that day. You saved her?"

Gu Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit, "Yes, that day I went to the palace to meet the king..."

The old general laughed loudly without listening to her, "Gu Ming, Gu Ming, you are lucky."

Seeing her unclear face, the old general smiled and said to her, "Guess what the king asked me to enter the palace today?"

"I don't know the end..."

"It's for your marriage." The old general said comfortingly.

"Marriage?!" Her complexion changed, and she exclaimed, "What, what?"

"There is a large crowd, you and the princess came out of the water, although it is really helpless to save people, but after all, it is the innocence of your daughter's family, don't you want to be responsible? Princess Qinghe is the king's cousin, and she has intentions for you , Your Majesty announced me into the palace today because he wants to send me to be a conspirator, to help you propose marriage to the princess!" The old general seemed very happy, but when Gu Ming heard this, his expression changed.

Her mind was blank, her face was pale, and she knelt down to the old general with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice, "General, the last general was born humble,...not worthy of the princess, I implore the general to resign for Gu Ming marriage…"
