Iron Armored Emperor

Di Qiye was sitting outside the house, watching Wushuang Qi boredly and never giving up teasing the big brown horse.

When Gu Lie woke up in the morning to smell the fragrance and look for the handkerchief, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Di Qiye insisted that he was stabbed by a bamboo thorn when he was tiring up the bamboo house yesterday, and he didn't intend to let the blood out.

"I told you that you should bring your guards." In order to avoid having to do hard work next time, although in fact most of the work was done by beggars, Di Qiye urged him confidently by lying.

"You get me out!"

Gu Lie held the silk handkerchief tightly, in his heart besides the anger suppressed by Di Qiye, there was also some inexplicable and complicated emotions in his heart, which caused him a headache, drove Di Qiye out, and the little beggar say.

The little beggar got up early and had already paid homage to the old beggar's grave. He also exchanged the fine children's clothes that Di Qiye found in the valley yesterday for the patchwork clothes that the old beggar mended himself.

He is a beggar, and if he dresses well, he can't beg for food. Instead, he will be suspected of being a clothes thief.

He is just a little beggar right now, neither capable nor qualified to repay the kindness of King Chu and General Di. If he is lucky enough to grow up, he will definitely try to join the Chu army and serve the old beggar's longing for Huofeng Killing God.

But now, all he can do is to thank King Chu and General Di for everything they have done.

The little beggar entered the bamboo house solemnly, no longer dodging his eyes, and took a good look at the God of Destiny for the old beggar, and kept Gu Lie's appearance in his heart, and told the old beggar when he went underground, the old beggar Must be happy.

He thought that the old beggar could not see the day when the king of Chu would rule the world, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he still calmed down, knelt down in a dignified manner, and saluted the king of Chu.

"The King of Chu and General Di saved the beggar's life and avenged the old beggar. The beggar has nothing to repay," he sniffed, and kowtowed three times deeply and devoutly, "May the King of Chu and General Di Long live a hundred years, the little beggar will be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay his benefactor."

However, what the King of Chu said next made the little beggar wonder if he was daydreaming.

The king of Chu said he would adopt him.

He also needs to be given the status of a legitimate prince.

The little beggar was dazed by the jade crown falling from the world, full of panic, and heard from the king of Chu that this move was to use him as a shield to appease the officials and eradicate the dissident clan.

But the little beggar felt relieved for some reason, since he was needed as a shield to prove that he was useful to the King of Chu, it wasn't all for nothing.His life was saved by King Chu and General Di, as long as it was useful to them, even if he died for them, he should repay.

He raised his head, and found that there was a trace of unbearable in King Chu's eyes, and asked him, "Even so, are you willing to be the prince?"

The little beggar didn't understand why the king of Chu had such an expression. From beggar to prince, it was a leap to the sky for him.

Even, the little beggar thought of the stage stories told by the old beggar about the civet cat being exchanged for the prince, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he had robbed the king of Chu's own heir.

Now, he will not be regarded as a clothes thief, but will really be a thief who steals his identity.

But the King of Chu looked at him with supreme majesty, with unbearable and even guilt hidden in his eyes.

The little beggar received cold looks from all over the world, except for the old beggar, no one had ever looked at him with such eyes.

He suddenly felt that King Chu was really a kind and gentle person.

The old beggar was right. The king of Chu is the lord of destiny, and he will definitely lead the Chu army to rule the world.

He couldn't help feeling selfishness that made him ashamed from the bottom of his heart.

Even as a thief, he wanted to be this man's son.

He can swear to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky that he will not be greedy for the status and wealth that does not belong to him, and that he will return everything to the relatives and children of the King of Chu who should have them—except for the part where the King of Chu needs him as a shield Time enjoys the father-son affection.

The king of Chu even asked him if he would like to.

"Beggar is willing."

Of course he is willing, he expresses his duty in a hurry, afraid that the King of Chu will think him too greedy, even forgetting to call himself, and said not so fluently: "I will remember my identity. My life is the King of Chu and the general Save it, this life is yours. I will do what I should do, and I will not do what I should not do. I will not be greedy."

Gu Lie was a little surprised.

This kid can think of such a thing.

"It's time for you to change your tune and call me 'Father King'."

The little beggar stared at Gu Lie in a daze for a long while, then tried it out and let out a soft cry.

"...Father?"

Gu Lie looked at him, just smiled and didn't answer.

The little beggar grew courage in his heart, and shouted upright: "Father."

"Well," Gu Lie stood up and held out his hand to the little beggar, "Let's ask General Di to find you a new suit."

The little beggar wanted to say that he didn't need to bother the general, he could wear the suit he changed last night, and he just went to find it himself.

But when he held Gu Lie's wide and warm palm with well-defined joints, and smelled a faint fragrance that he didn't know what it was called from Gu Lie's sleeves, he felt his heart beating like thunder, and forgot what to say. .

When he regained his senses, he heard General Di angrily say to the King of Chu: "I told you to bring the guards. I am a dignified general, but I am not"

"A general who wants to be grounded?"

The little beggar felt very sorry, and when he was about to speak, Gu Lie clenched his hands tightly and dared not speak out.

Di Qiye rummaged through the cabinets and found a set of very expensive children's clothes. The style was old, but the fabric was as white as new. I don't know if it was worn by Wei Bichen or Mu Lian when he was a child.

Gu Lie asked the little beggar to change his inner shirt by himself, and then came out to dress him in a robe with complicated laces, and then combed his hair into a little boy's bun.

"How old are you?" Di Qiye only remembered to ask.

"About nine years old." The little beggar who didn't know his age replied cautiously.

He is a little thin, and his height is considered tall for a nine-year-old, so he looks even thinner.

Di Qiye looked at the child, thinking about raising such a small person, there are many things to do, but fortunately, he is alone, and he can come and go freely, without these troubles.

"Let's go out of the valley." Gu Lie withdrew his gaze from overlooking Tianxia Zangshu Pavilion, and ordered, "You take the prince with you."

People can't gloat, they will suffer retribution.

Di Qiye said solemnly: "Master, you father and son just met each other, you should stay together more and bond with each other."

Gu Lie also spoke earnestly: "General Di is superb in equestrian skills, this king is ashamed to be inferior, and entrusting the prince to you is my trust in you."

Di Qiye looked at Gu Lie suspiciously.

Gu Lie was indeed a little "timidated by being close to his hometown". After all, he didn't have much experience with children in his previous life. He recalled the heart-piercing cries he heard every time he held the little prince, and his mood was complicated.

Although this child is much better than the little prince in the previous life.

After all, Di Qiye took care of the weak, lifted the somewhat bewildered child onto the back of Wushuang's horse, and got on the horse.

King Chu and General Di went into the valley for one night. When they left the valley, there was an old but luxurious child on General Di's horse.

Judging from his appearance, he is a handsome and intelligent child with a calm temperament, so he must be born in an extraordinary family.

The guards didn't dare to ask or look too much, leaving half of the troops to block Qingcheng Mountain, and the rest followed the king of Chu back to the camp.

Riding on a horse is bumpy after all, not to mention for a child who has no experience in riding a horse, Di Qiye lowered his head and asked, the child is very good, he shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, Di Qiye thought of a crucial question.

He let go of the rein, and Wushuang immediately caught up with the big brown horse, rubbed up enthusiastically, and Di Qiye's leg almost bumped into King Chu's.

The veins on Gu Lie's forehead were throbbing, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "What are you doing!"

"The general apologizes," Di Qiye approached mysteriously, covered his mouth with his hand, and reminded him lazily in a low voice, "but my lord, the general suddenly remembered that your son doesn't have a name yet."

Gu Lie was stunned.

He did not name the little beggar.

Looking at his reaction, Di Qiye knew that he had made a meritorious service. He was very satisfied, and sighed to himself: "The last general really broke his heart."

Gu Lie was speechless at his thick skin.

After thinking for a long while, and during a break, Gu Lie finally settled on the little beggar's name.

In the previous life, the little prince was named Gu Ning, which means tranquility. Gu Lie chose this name in the hope that he would continue the prosperity of the Great Chu and keep a peaceful life for the people of the world.

The later successor, Gu Guyan of Zhongzhou, was also named by Gu Lie. The edict naturally stated the reason in a high-sounding manner. In fact, Gu Lie disliked this person's hypocrisy and satirized him for being snobbish.

Now the little beggar's name, after much deliberation by Gu Lie, is Gu Zhao.

Zhao, Riming also means bright and beautiful.

The little beggar accepts this well, Gu Zhao, common people's homes are also named like this, recruiting younger siblings means begging for children.

It wasn't until Gu Lie wrote stroke by stroke on the mud floor that the little beggar realized that one trick was not the other.

It is not asking for a child, it is the light seen in the darkness.

Gu Zhao's eyes were hot, he blinked, studied Gu Lie's strokes seriously, and wrote the word Zhao several times.

He is Gu Zhao.

Walking to the mountainside on the opposite side of the Dachu military camp, I heard the sound of shouts and drums.

Di Qiye and Gu Lie rode their horses to the side of the peak, and saw the soldiers of the Chu army and the cavalry of the Feng clan fighting fiercely outside the camp of the Chu army.

Sure enough, as Gu Lie expected, the Wind Clan tore up the covenant and came to sneak attack.

The battlefield on the east side is wide, Lu Yi Aoge's handsome flag is flying high, and the Chu army is overwhelming the Fengzu cavalry.

On the west side, the battlefield is closer to the mountain where the King of Chu and his party are located, and the terrain is blocked by the mountains, which is relatively tight. On the surface, the Chu army led by Jiang Tong has the upper hand. In fact, from the perspective of the top, the Fengzu cavalry has gradually surrounded them with the help of the terrain. This part of the Chu army, Jiang Tong's situation is very dangerous.

"Lord."

Di Qiye threw the little prince into Gu Lie's arms, and the Qinglong Saber was unsheathed, Wushuang was eager to try, stepping on the horse's hoof anxiously.

His eyes were firmly fixed on the flag of the Wind Clan, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and the corners of his lips curled up with a half-smile: "The last general invites you to fight."

Gu Lie hugged the child helplessly.

"Go."

I still didn't forget to taunt him: "Don't get pricked by bamboo thorns."

Di Qiye laughed loudly and shouted "A, three, B, two", two guards came out in response, followed Di Qiye and rode down on his horse, like a silver spear, piercing into the enemy army of the Feng Clan.

"Look carefully," Gu Lie said to Gu Zhao in his arms, "This is my Great Chu Bingshen."
