Long Wind Crossing

    "Why are you here?"

    Seeing Liu Yuru appear, Gu Jiusi hurriedly stood up. Seeing that he was still tied by a rope, Liu Yuru hurriedly squatted down, loosened the rope for him, and explained in a low voice, "I'm done with Yangzhou, and I'm worried, so I'll come back and have a look."

    "Aren't you supposed to go to the Yellow River?" Gu Jiusi couldn't tell whether it was a surprise or a worry, and his emotions were complicated, "You come over now..."

    "I arranged for other people to go there first. If Luo Zishang did something to the Yellow River, it would most likely be set in a place that satisfies two conditions. The second is the place where he supervises the work during your absence." Liu Yuru helped Gu Jiusi to get up and said quickly, "I have already sent someone to Xingyang to find Fu Baoyuan, and confirm with Fu Baoyuan that Luo Zishang supervises the work while you are away. After confirming that you are safe, I will go over and check one by one according to these two conditions."

    Speaking, Liu Yuru untied the rope, looked up at Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi quietly watched her for a while, then laughed and said, "I cried."

    He raised his hand and gently touched the tears on her face, and said bitterly, "Why are you crying again?"

    "Just now I went to see Lord Ye and His Highness," Liu Yuru changed her name and sniffled, "I had an argument with them."

    Gu Jiusi knew what Liu Yuru was arguing with them, he was speechless for a while, he lowered his head, and for a long time, finally said: "They asked you to come to me?"

    "Hmm."

    Liu Yuru nodded: "They asked me to persuade you to leave it alone."

    Gu Jiusi lowered his head and said nothing, Liu Yuru patted the dust on his sleeve for him, turned his head and ordered two bowls of noodles to come outside, and then said, "Let's eat something first. "

    Gu Jiusi responded and was pulled by Liu Yuru to sit at the table. Liu Yuru held his hand and looked at him quietly. Gu Jiusi lost a lot of weight and looked a little more frosty. Gu Jiusi paid attention Seeing her eyes, he raised his head, looked at her and smiled: "What are you looking at me for? Do you think I look too good?"

    Hearing such a witty remark, Liu Yuru couldn't bear it any longer, she threw herself into Gu Jiusi's arms and hugged him tightly.

    She knows.

    I know how sad a person is at the moment, and how dazed this person should be now. He was on an unaccompanied road and everyone told him he was wrong.

    He is naive, he is naive, he does not know the world.

    His inner morality was completely trampled, and his perseverance was worthless.

    For a person who believes in faith, the greatest cruelty is to destroy his faith. However, even at this moment, he didn't say a word to her, he still pretended to be like in the past, trying to make her laugh more.

    Gu Jiusi couldn't smile anymore when he was hugged like this. He noticed the girl in his arms trembling slightly. For a long time, he lowered his eyes and put his hand on her shoulder weakly.

    "I didn't want you to worry," he murmured, "but you look like this, I can't pretend to be happy."

    Liu Yuru did not speak, Gu Jiusi hugged her tightly and took a deep breath: "I know, you have always been a person who can live. Now we have Jin'er and family, even if it is for the sake of You guys, I don't care about this. I'm not only an official in this Daxia, I'm also your husband, Jin'er's father, and father and mother's son. I have many other responsibilities..."

    Gu Jiusi's voice was choked, he hugged Liu Yuru tightly, put his head against her hair, and seemed to be extremely painful: "I should go back with you."

    "Since it should be," Liu Yuru whispered, "Why, why are you so sad?"

    Gu Jiusi did not speak. He lowered his eyes and did not speak. After a long time, he said, "There are still nearly a million people in Dongdu."

    Millions of people, plundering for three days, that is life and death.

    “Yuru…”

    Gu Jiusi made a dry voice, and Liu Yuru raised her hand to stop his voice.

    "You don't talk."

    Liu Yuru looked at him with clear eyes and said softly: "Don't make a decision, I'll do it for you, okay?"

    Gu Jiusi looked at her quietly.

    This is probably the most beautiful time in her life. When they first met, she was too young and young, and her eyes could only touch the world in the backyard surrounded by high walls. But now she has open eyes and a tall stature. She was originally a first-class beauty. What is even more rare is that she has a pair of eyes that are like gems, famous paintings, and sky.

    There are green mountains and beautiful waters in those eyes, and all living beings make it splendid and shining.

    She is like a **** and Buddha, who can see the hearts of the world;

    This is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.

    Gu Jiusi rolled her eyes slightly, but kept staring at her, Liu Yuru smiled and said softly, "No matter what decision I make, you have to listen to me, okay?"

    "Good."

    Gu Jiusi spoke hoarsely. At that moment, he trusted her unconditionally. She wanted him to live, so he would steal it; if she wanted him to die, he would die willingly.

    Liu Yuru did not speak, she raised her hand and quietly copied his eyebrows, she looked at him cherishly, her cold fingertips cautious and gentle.

    "Jiusi," she looked at him seriously, "you know, I love you."

    "I know."

    "I love your character, I love your Chicheng, I know that the person I love can't just watch the creatures do nothing, and it's impossible to be at peace with me and live by myself A world."

    As soon as Liu Yuru opened her mouth, Gu Jiusi's tears fell. He looked at Liu Yuru and did not dare to look away, like a child, his face was tired from crying.

    Liu Yuru lifted the hair stuck on his face, looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "Go ahead."

    Gu Jiusi did not dare to move, he trembled as he listened to the man calmly say: "Whatever you want, just do it. I never think you are wrong, it's just that it is too difficult for you to walk this way. No one else can go on. But if you can go, you are the hero in my heart. If you need money, I will spend all my money. If you need help, I will do my best. Of course, if you want me to go through fire and water,” Liu Yuru Reluctantly laughed, "I won't accompany you anymore. I'm very selfish, and I want to protect Jin'er. So the Yellow River, if I can cultivate it, I will cultivate it, and if I can't cultivate it, I will not cultivate it, okay?"

    "Okay." Gu Jiusi cried.

    He knew she was lying to him, but he couldn't reveal it, he grabbed her sleeve, stared at her, and said hoarsely: "You must do what you say. ."

    "I will."

    Liu Yuru chuckled.

    "You must live well, you must live better than anyone else."

    "I know."

    "No matter what I do, what happens to me, you and Jin'er must be better. If I make you feel bad, you don't like me anymore. You To like another person," Gu Jiusi cried and lowered his head, "You like someone who is a little bit selfish and kind to you, don't... don't like someone like me anymore."

    Gu Jiusi said, he couldn't hold it any longer, he stooped, and fell to the ground crying. Liu Yuru looked at him quietly, even at this time, her tears were reserved, restrained, and elegant.

    She looked at the sobbing person in front of her, sniffed, and whispered: "I'll give you a list of all the money from the family in a while, if you want to use it, it's okay to use it all. .I have left enough money for my family and my family, and it will not affect the family."

    "I met Chen Xun in Yangzhou, and I handed over my family to him. When I solve the matter of the Yellow River, I will take my family to hide. When you are all right, I will bring They're coming to you. If something happens to you, I'll take them away."

    Gu Jiusi was speechless, he just hugged her tightly, a little tighter, a little more.

    He has said sorry to her countless times and promised her countless times.

    But he finally found out that he couldn't do it.

    He couldn't do what he thought, keeping her safe and stable for a lifetime. Since she met him, what he brought to her was always turbulence and displacement.

    He didn't deserve it, he never felt sorry for her, but she was so beautiful that he couldn't let go.

    Liu Yuru looked at him quietly, she noticed his pain and weakness from this hug, she raised her hand to brush his hair, and smiled lightly.

    "Gu Jiusi," she called his name gently and solemnly, "Thank you."

    Gu Jiusi shook his head, he whimpered and shook his head desperately in denial. Liu Yuru raised her eyes, looked at the white clouds fluttering outside the courtyard, the boundless blue sky, and said slowly: "When I was young, I wanted to marry a good man. I have thought many times about what a good man should look like, and I thought he would protect him. Me, he will let me eat in fine clothes and jade from now on, without any worries. From then on, I will accompany him, depend on him, live for him, and die for him. Until later, I married you. "

    Liu Yuru lowered her head, she looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "I just know that people should live for themselves."

    Speaking, she bent down, hugged him tightly, and closed her eyes: "I don't think you are sorry for me, and you don't have to feel guilty for me. Although I am your wife, I am more It's Liu Yuru."

    She is not attached to him and does not belong to him. She will choose what life she wants, not him.

    His life was turbulent and exile. From the moment she disembarked and returned to Yangzhou, she chose this turbulent exile.

    His life carries all the people, and she chose this responsibility from the moment she took her life and stood with him from a high place overlooking the people.

    He doesn't need to feel guilty, and she doesn't blame.

    They hugged each other tightly. It was at this moment that Gu Jiusi finally made sure that he was not afraid or at a loss when walking on this road.

    The two of them didn't have much time to be gentle. After Gu Jiusi's mood stabilized, the food delivery person also came. After Liu Yuru had eaten with him, Liu Yuru made a list of all the money in the family. She handed it over to Gu Jiusi, and then she told Gu Jiusi the situation in Yangzhou in detail. After finishing speaking, it was noon, Liu Yuru said to Gu Jiusi, "I'll go to Big Brother Zhou and Big Brother Ye later, and I will tell them that you have been persuaded by me, but you are not willing to participate in this matter, so we will stay in Fenshui. When they relax their vigilance, we will leave secretly tonight."

    Gu Jiusi nodded, Liu Yuru let him rest, and after the two cleaned up, Liu Yuru led him to meet Zhou Ye and Ye Shian.

    Zhou Ye set up a table of wine, the three of them met, but they didn't talk much, Liu Yuru was in the middle, watching the three of them say nothing, Liu Yuru smiled and said: "It's all over, you guys Don't hold back. When your affairs are settled, Jiusi and I will go back to Yangzhou."

    "Back to Yangzhou..." Ye Shian hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "What are you going to do when you go back?"

    "Continue to do business." Liu Yuru raised her cup, glanced at Zhou Ye and Ye Shian, and said, "Jiusi will not be in the court in the future, if something goes wrong in our business, we will have to worry about it. you."

    Listening to this, Zhou Ye and Ye Shian gradually felt relieved, and Zhou Ye immediately said, "It's easy to talk about this."

    Speaking, Zhou Ye took the cup and looked at Gu Jiusi. After hesitating for a while, he raised his hand and said, "Jusi, have a drink."

    Gu Jiusi responded, he took the cup, and after touching a cup with Zhou Ye, he looked up at Zhou Ye and calmly said, "Big brother," Zhou Ye heard the 'big brother', My heart was a little sour, and when I was about to speak, I heard Gu Jiusi say, "I really tried my best about my sister-in-law."

    "I understand." Zhou Ye smiled wryly, and he sighed, "I don't care, it's just too uncomfortable in my heart, I just need to find a reason to make myself feel more comfortable. I hope you forgive me."

    Gu Jiusi nodded and didn't say much. He and Zhou Ye drank it all in one go, then held up the cup again and turned to look at Ye Shian.

    The two looked at each other for a while, Ye Shian raised the glass, nodded, and drank the wine.

    The meal was dull and heavy, the three of them didn't talk much, Zhou Ye drank a lot of wine, and when the dinner was over, Ye Shian helped Zhou Ye back, and Zhou Ye walked halfway , suddenly turned around and shouted at Gu Jiusi: "Jiusi!"

    Gu Jiusi pulled Liu Yuru, he turned around and saw Zhou Ye staring at him, Zhou Ye staring at him, not knowing who he was looking at, after a long time, he said: "I'm sorry. "

    Gu Jiu thought this, he was silent for a moment, then laughed.

    "I'm sorry to say that to you," he sighed softly, "I'll treat you as a brother."

    Speaking, Gu Jiusi raised his hand, cupped his hands and smiled: "There will be a period later."

    Zhou Ye drank a little chaotically, Liu Yuru hurriedly said to Ye Shian: "Brother Ye, please help Brother Zhou back."

    Ye Shian nodded and sent Zhou Ye back to the room. After sending them off, Liu Yuru and Gu Jiusi returned to the room hand in hand. The two closed the door. Gu Jiusi turned around and said with Liu Yuru, "Wait a minute..."

    Before she finished speaking, Liu Yuru suddenly stepped forward, grabbed him violently, and kissed him.

    Gu Jiusi hoarsely said: "I like it."

    "Remember what you want and come back alive."

    "Good."

    Gu Jiusi didn't let go of her, she trembled and said, "Yuru, if I don't want to let you go, will you blame me?"

    "No." Liu Yuru looked up at him, her eyes bright as stars, "I'm very happy."

    The two were talking when they heard a muffled groan from outside, and then Wang Lai opened the window and said, "Okay, let's go."

    Liu Yuru and Gu Jiusi responded together, Gu Jiusi turned over the window and hugged Liu Yuru.

      After meeting, the group rushed to the gate of the city on horseback. Liu Yuru showed the token that Zhou Ye had given her before, and said loudly, "By His Highness's order, I'm out of the city in a hurry, get out of the way!"

    The people at the city gate saw Liu Yuru's token and Liu Yuru's bad temper, so they hurriedly opened the door for them. Liu Yuru looked at Gu Jiusi, smiled and said, "I have to go to the Yellow River."

    "I know."

    "Where are you going?"

    "Me?"

    Gu Jiu thought for a while, pursed her lips, and finally said, "East Capital."

    "Okay." Liu Yuru nodded, turned to look at Wanglai, and then said with Gu Jiusi, "Then Wanglai is left to you, you must go to the East to find your uncle, It's convenient for him."

    "Nan Munan come with you."

    Gu Jiusi laughed, he raised his hand to straighten the collar of Liu Yuru's cloak, looked at her and said, "Be careful with everything."

    "You too."

    After speaking, the two were silent, as if no one could bear to open their mouths to separate. After a long time, Liu Yuru lowered her head and smiled, waved her hand and said, "I'm leaving."

    After saying that, Liu Yuru turned her head, but she didn't dare to look back, so she ran wildly in the direction of Yongzhou.

    After Gu Jiusi watched him leave, he turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the Eastern Capital.

    On the day that Zhou Gaolang captured the first city, Shen Ming was playing backgammon with Ye Yun on the upper floor of Qincheng City on the border. He just dropped the piece and noticed the ground shaking slightly.

    Ye Yun squeezed the chess pieces and said strangely: "What's wrong?"

    Shen Ming's face changed greatly when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up and hurried to the top of the city wall, and then saw the yellow sand billowing in the distance, Shen Ming's eyes widened, He shouted: "Foreign enemies are attacking, the whole army will meet the enemy!"

    When it was, it was the thirteenth day of August, the first year of Kangping.

    In the Dongdu Palace, singing and dancing were peaceful, Fan Yu was blindfolded in the palace, having fun with the beauties.

    Luo Zishang was accompanying the wine, a **** hurriedly came, entered the inner hall, and said something in Luo Zishang's ear, Luo Zishang's expression moved slightly and stood up , said with Fan Yu: "Your Majesty, this minister..."

    Luo Zishang smiled, bowed respectfully and stepped back, and walked outside the hall. Outside the hall, Ming Yi stood alone at the door, his face was very ugly, Luo Zishang looked up and down at the person standing behind Ming Yi, the other party's eyes were red, Luo Zishang felt bad in his heart, but he was still the same. Zuo calmly smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why did you come back crying when I asked you to go to Yangzhou?"

    "Sir," the other party knelt down on the spot and said hoarsely, "Sir Xiao, go!"

    Hearing this, Luo Zishang suddenly widened his eyes, and after a while, he instantly reacted, grabbed the collar of the man on the ground, and said angrily, "What did you say?!"

    He has been unable to contact Yangzhou for a long time, and he knew that something happened in Yangzhou, but he did not expect that Xiao Ming was dead.

    The guard was frightened by Luo Zishang's reaction, but he gritted his teeth and repeated: "Master Xiao, go!"

    Luo Zishang didn't speak, he seemed to be stunned, next to Ming Yi was a little worried and supported him, frowning: "Sir, calm down."

    Luo Zishang felt that his entire soul was floating outside, and his mind was blank. After a long time, he exhausted all his strength and asked, "Who is..."

    "It's Chen Xun."

    The guard immediately said, "Now Yangzhou is in charge of Chen Xun."

    Luo Zishang quickly searched the name in his mind. He felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't say it. He frowned and said, "Who is Chen Xun?"

    "It was Mrs. Ji's guest." The guard immediately said, "After I got on the line with Wang Pingzhang, I didn't know why I became warm with Mrs. Ji, and later Liu Yuru came to Yangzhou and lived in Luofu. , Mrs. Ji and Liu Yuru had a conflict, and Mrs. Xiao took action against Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji called the old Wang clan in anger and joined forces with Wang Pingzhang to assassinate Mr. Xiao."

    "What about the people from Dongying?"

    Luo Zishang clenched his fists, and the guard whispered: "Wang Pingzhang bought people in the army with a lot of money, and gave medicine to the people in Dongying, and then Chen Xun used the order of Lord Xiao to allow Shen Mingling Thirty thousand troops entered Yangzhou. After Shen Ming came in, Chen Xun and Wang Pingzhang arrested almost all of our people. After that, Chen Xun killed Wang Pingzhang and sent all those who refused to accept him into the army. Shen Ming took them to the Yuzhou battlefield. "

    “Yuzhou?”

    When Luo Zishang heard this word, he said in disbelief, "You said that Shen Ming went to Yuzhou?"

    "Yes."

    The guard immediately said: "Bring the Yangzhou army, a total of 80,000 people."

    Luo Zishang felt a little absurd, he took a step back, what he wanted to say, but couldn't say, he unconsciously wanted to gesture something in his hand, but in the end he said with red eyes: "What's wrong with Ah Ming? Will he die?"

    No one spoke, Luo Zishang scolded violently: "How can one Liu Yuru be counted against him?!"

    His younger brother, he knows better than anyone else. He was smart and steady since childhood, and he was a little more attentive in doing things. He was a person who was trained by him, how could he be tricked by a Liu Yuru?

    The guard lowered his head, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Liu Yuru said that Gu Jin is your child."

    "She believes him?!" Luo Zishang scolded angrily, "Is he so stupid?!"

    "The people around Mr. Xiao said," the guard said cautiously, "The child's eyes look like you, and Mr. Xiao always thought that you liked Mrs. Liu, so he thought whether it was true or not, Let me help you keep people behind."

    Hearing this, Luo Zishang was stunned.

    The guard continued: "Master Xiao said that you finally like someone, no matter what means, he wants you to have a home."

    However, it was such a small wish, such a rare, even the only softness, that killed him.

    Luo Zishang stood blankly, he turned his head with difficulty and looked in the direction of Yangzhou.

    At that moment, he seemed to see that many years ago, he had just arrived at Zhang's house, he was sitting on the carriage, the child chased by the carriage, calling him with difficulty: "Master, Master Luo , can you give me something to eat?"

    He lifted the curtain of the car and saw the boy running hard. His face was yellow and his skin was thin, and Luo Zishang could tell that in a short while, this child was going to die.

    He stopped the carriage and walked down. He half-squatted in front of Xiao Ming and said with a smile, "I can give you a steamed bun, what will you give me?"

    "Life." Xiao Ming raised his head and said seriously, "You save me, I will give you my life."

    He always thought it was a joke.

    However, until now, he realized that someone was so stupid.

    Xiao Ming did not die in his own stupidity, nor in Liu Yuru's schemes, but in his tenderness and worry. Whenever his senior brother was involved, he would turn into a child, losing his defenses and tenacity.

    Tears flowed from Luo Zishang's eyes unconsciously, everyone beside him was a little surprised, Luo Zishang didn't realize it, until the tears fell on the back of his hand, he suddenly reacted.

    The tears were like lava, burning him from the back of his hand, and twitching in pain all the way.

    He never thought that he would have such an emotion, next to Ming Yi looked at him worriedly, and couldn't help saying: "Sir..."

    The sound of "adult" made Luo Zishang wake up suddenly, he pondered, and comforted: "When I and others embark on this road, I will have my own destination in my heart, the adults do not need to It's too sad. Master Xiao has a soul in the sky, and he will not want to see him messing around for him."

    "Don't worry..." Luo Zishang listened to Ming Yi's words, and said in a low voice, "I won't mess with the rules. Don't pass on Yangzhou's information to His Majesty beforehand, set it up for Ah Ming A mourning hall, put it in the mansion, don't let outsiders disturb it."

    Ming Yi responded and ordered people to go down and do it, then Ming Yi stepped forward and helped Luo Zishang to walk into the palace, he couldn't help saying: "Sir, now Yangzhou has been taken away, what should we do?"

    Yangzhou is gone, and the meaning of letting Liu Xingzhi and Daxia live and die is gone.

    "What?"

    Luo Zishang sneered and laughed: "Chen Xun is standing behind Gu Jiusi, this time Shen Ming confronts Liu Xingzhi head-on, as long as Gu Jiusi's support is not timely enough, Shen Ming's 80,000 horse scum will not be We only need to hold the Dongdu front, let Zhou Gaolang and Fan Yu fight to the death, wait for Liu Xingzhi to kill Shen Ming and rush over, take the Dongdu, and kill Zhou Gaolang and Gu Jiusi. We are important ministers. I talked to Liu Xingzhi, Yangzhou was going to submit to Liu Xingzhi, I won Daxia for him, he and I became brothers of the opposite sex, gave me Yangzhou, and made me the king of different surnames. Then we will still follow the agreement and let him take it first. Daxia, when Chen Xun has no soldiers and no money, Liu Xingzhi will borrow my troops again and go back and get Yangzhou back. , said slowly, "But it's not desperate."

    "The wise man."

    As soon as Ming heard Luo Zishang's method, he was relieved.

    However, Luo Zishang did not see the slightest joy, and he continued to instruct: "Bring a wave of killers to the Yellow River, and listen to Liu Xingzhi's orders at any time, as long as he hits the South Pass," Luo Zishang With cold eyes, "I ignited the gunpowder we put before."

    "Yes."

    Ming Yi responded immediately without any hesitation. Luo Zishang looked up into the distance.

    That night, Luo Zishang got the news that Liu Xingzhi attacked the border and Zhou Gaolang attacked the Eastern Capital. Luo Zishang reported the news to Fan Yu. Fan Yu looked at the news and sneered, "What should I do?"

    Speaking, he picked up the book and raised his eyes to look at Luo Zishang: "Zhou Gaolang also called, Liu Xingzhi also called, and Zhou Gaolang doesn't want to go to Yuzhou, what do you say?"

    Luo Zishang didn't speak, Fan Yu raised his hand and smashed the book, angrily said, "Speak!"

    Fan Yu smelled of alcohol, and now he has very little time not to drink. Luo Zishang knelt down on the spot and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, there is only one way now."

    "What can I do?" Fan Yu felt a little tired after finishing the book. He sat on a chair with a girl in his arms and looked at Luo Zishang coldly. Luo Zishang said respectfully, "Cede Yuzhou."

    "If Yuzhou is ceded, Liu Xingzhi will not fight?"

    "The minister can send someone to negotiate peace."

    Luo Zishang immediately spoke up, Fan Yu thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I will give you an imperial decree, and Yuzhou will give it."

    Speaking, Fan Yu was a little worried: "Where is Zhou Gaolang..."

    "He wants to come to the Eastern Capital, at least to break the ten cities. After they break the ten cities, they will march to the Eastern Capital. Now we have 200,000 troops stationed in the Eastern Capital City. Zhou Gaolang fights all the way. After coming here, we will definitely be exhausted, and then we will ambush them again and take them down in one fell swoop!"

    "Okay." Fan Yu gave a high five and said happily, "Just do it, you have been entertaining the three generals recently, don't be neglectful."

    "Yes."

    Luo Zishang responded with a smile, Fan Yu thought for a while: "Should I meet them too?"

    "That's the best."

    Luo Zishang hurriedly spoke, Fan Yu nodded and yawned: "That's it."

    Luo Zishang got Fan Yu's words and went down to make arrangements.

    At this time, Gu Jiusi led Wang Lai and turned into a merchant into the Eastern Capital.

      Lai led Gu Jiusi and walked towards the West Wind Tower, saying as he walked, "Master Jiang has hidden piles in Dongdu and has countless private properties. Now he is hiding in Dongdu. If you want to find him, you have to go here."

    Gu Jiusi responded and followed Wang Lai to the West Wind Building. After entering the building, Wang Lai greeted Gui Gong and said, "Dongli will drink wine after dusk."

    Kui Gong got this, looked up at Lai, and then said: "Master, please come with me."

    Speaking, the two followed Guigong to the backyard. The backyard was much quieter than the front yard. Gu Jiusi and Wang Lai entered a room together. The air was so dense that it made people uncomfortable. Gu Jiusi was still wearing a cloak, and vaguely saw a woman behind the bead curtain in the inner room. She was lying on the couch, holding a cigarette stick in her hand, her clothes slipped over her shoulders, revealing her fair thighs.

    "Dongli put wine after dusk," a slightly hoarse female voice rang out, and then Gu Jiusi heard the sound of knocking on a cigarette rod, and said slowly, "I thought who was it? It was Wanglai."

    "Xifeng," Wang Lai said, "Where is the master?"

    "Who are you with?"

    The woman called Xifeng cast her gaze on Gu Jiusi behind Wanglai, Gu Jiusi hid in the dark, and when he heard Xifeng's question, he pulled down his hat and said calmly, "Gu Jiusi. "

    The people in the inner room were breathing clouds and mist, she seemed to stare at Gu Jiusi for a moment, and then heard the crisp sound of the bead curtain, and a woman in red came out from the inner room.

    Gu Jiusi's expression was clear and clear, and she quietly looked at it. After a while, Xifeng smiled softly, turned around and said, "Come with me."

    Speaking, she led them out the door, walked all the way deeper into the yard, and finally stopped in front of a door with two osmanthus flowers hanging at the door. She tapped on the door three times, slowly but not slowly. After a while, the door opened, and Xifeng stood at the door, respectfully saying, "Master, Wang Lai led the eldest son back."

    Hearing these words, Gu Jiusi heard Jiang He's unsurprising voice: "Come in, I happened to be talking about them."

    Xi Feng responded and led Gu Jiusi and Wang Lai inside. As soon as he entered the door, Gu Jiusi found that the room was full of people. Jiang He was wearing a white shirt, his hair was tied with a jade belt, and he was sitting on the main seat, as if he was talking to people.

    Gu Jiusi looked at Jiang He and saluted, "Uncle."

    "It seems to have suffered a lot." Jiang He laughed, "Shouldn't you follow Zhou Gaolang, why did you come to Dongdu?"

    "I have something to discuss with you."

    Gu Jiusi glanced at the others, Jiang He understood, nodded, and said to everyone, "Go down first."

    If they got Jiang He, no one would stop, they all retreated.

    After retreating, only Gu Jiusi and Jiang He were left in the room. Jiang He took the handkerchief, wiped his hands and said, "I heard that both Mrs. Zhou and the young lady are dead."

    "Yes."

    "I tried to save them when they left Dongdu," Jiang He smiled, "Unfortunately, it didn't work."

    "I tried that too."

    "The Zhou family's father and son are angry with you?" Jiang He sat on the chair, propped his chin, and looked at Gu Jiusi, "And then kicked you out?"

    "No," Gu Jiusi shook his head, then he looked up at Jiang He, and said seriously, "In order not to cause trouble for his throne, Zhou Gaolang promised that the three armies would loot for three days after entering the Eastern Capital. ."

    Hearing this, Jiang He suddenly raised his head and said in shock, "Who mentioned it?"

    "Ye Shian."

    The name made Jiang He even more surprised, but after a brief stun, he laughed, and then seemed to think it was absurd, raised his hand and said, "Ye Qingzhan is so arrogant, he often tells me that his junior Among them, only Ye Shian is the most outstanding. If Qingzhan Jiuquan knew that this child did this, he was afraid that he would climb up and hack him. "

    Gu Jiusi remained silent, Jiang He propped his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he understood the ins and outs of the matter, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jiusi: "Since they have all decided to loot Dongdu, you are still here. What are you doing?"

    "I have to come here because they want to loot the Eastern Capital."

    Jiang He raised his eyebrows: "Zhou Gaolang is your old master, you helped him become emperor, and now you want to stand in his way?"

    "Now I have defrauded 30,000 soldiers from Zhou's family, Shen Ming took it to Yuzhou, and Yuru went to Yangzhou to help my friend Chen Xun control Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou dispatched 50,000 troops and went to Yuzhou to assist Shen Ming. I promised Shen Ming that reinforcements would be made within a month. Therefore, there are two paths in the current situation." Gu Jiusi ignored him and went straight, "The first one, we will lead 80,000. The soldiers and horses and Yangzhou took refuge in Liu Xingzhi, and let Liu Xingzhi fight all the way to Dongdu to stop Zhou Gaolang."

    "No." Jiang He resolutely vetoed, "I have had contact with Liu Xingzhi in the past, he is greedy for pleasure and regards the world as his private property, if the world is handed over to him, what is the difference between him and Da Rong? "

    "What about Zhou Gaolang?"

    Gu Jiusi looked up at Jiang He, Jiang He thought for a while, then hesitantly said, "Zhou Gaolang is a politician."

    "However," Jiang He raised his eyes to look at Gu Jiusi, "he is not a politician with no bottom line. He is rational and has his own dreams. He may have very good means, but he is better than Liu Xingzhi. Too many. Their decisions today are all based on the pain of bereavement, and there may not be room for manoeuvre. As long as there is room for manoeuvre, Zhou Gaolang is the best candidate."

    "There will be room."

    Gu Jiusi resolutely said, "As long as we give a reason not to let him loot the Eastern Capital, we will have room."

    "You believe him that much?" Jiang He was a little surprised, Gu Jiusi walked to the sand table and said seriously, "I don't believe in him, I believe in my brother."

    "Whether it's Brother Zhou or Shi'an, when people inevitably go the wrong way, as a friend, I can't just watch them go wrong. I have to do it before they make a big mistake. , let them wake up. I don't know if Zhou Gaolang is Mingjun, but Brother Zhou will be, I know. "

    "What are you going to do then?"

    Jiang He stood behind Gu Jiusi, he smiled and watched
