MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 81
The wine seemed to have the temperature of the morning light, slowly flowing into the hearts of the two.
The blood-stained clothes on his body were like wedding clothes, making him look very gorgeous. The two put down their wine glasses and smiled slowly.
At this time, cheers came from below the tower, but Shen Ming had already captured King Liang.
King Liang's flag fell down, and the whole battle was decided, Ye Shian rushed up to the tower and said happily, "Brother Gu, we won, Shen Ming brought King Liang into the city! "
When Gu Jiusi heard this, he let go of Liu Yuru. He looked at Liu Yuru and smiled, and said kindly, "Wait for me to go back."
Liu Yuru nodded, Gu Jiusi quickly turned her head and followed Ye Shian downstairs.
At this time, Zhou Ye and Shen Ming brought the army into the city, and the people next to him carried the wounded to the healing area. Gu Jiusi walked towards Zhou Ye, rushed in front of Zhou Ye, and hugged him tightly. Zhou Ye said happily, "Good brother."
Zhou Ye was stunned for a while, and a woman next to him laughed and said in a clear voice: "You really have to thank him, he heard that Wangdu was trapped, and knelt down at his father-in-law's place all night, scrambling and begging. It took 20,000 people to come back.”
Gu Jiusi moved his Adam's apple, but couldn't say anything, and finally he could only whisper, "I understand."
How could he not understand?
The moment Zhou Ye appeared, he knew clearly that with Fan Xuan and Zhou Gaolang's plans, how could it be possible to temporarily withdraw troops from Dongdu at this time, Zhou Ye must have given up something to ask for.
Zhou Ye listened to the ridicule of the woman next to him. He glanced at the other party with some disapproval and sighed: "Jiusi doesn't have to take this matter to heart. I hope it's my hometown, and my hometown is in trouble. , how can I stand on the sidelines? And Dongdu is now a shell, there is no difference between 20,000 people and 20,000 people. My father also made sufficient considerations before he was willing to send troops to me. "
"I understand." Gu Jiusi took a deep breath, he knew that this was what Zhou Ye said on purpose because he was afraid that he would care. He let go of Zhou Ye, looked at Zhou Ye seriously, and said, "Brother Zhou's friendship, I have written down now. In the future, I will treat Brother Zhou as a real brother, going through fire and water, and doing nothing."
Speaking, he turned to look at Ye Shian, Ye Shian was stained with blood, and he finally rushed on the battlefield to fight for a long time, the gentleman who always held a pen was also forced to fight on the battlefield . Ye Shian couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Jiusi's eyes. He raised his hand and put his hands in his sleeves. Gu Jiusi also raised his hands and put his hands in his sleeves. Then the two stood up straight, Gu Jiusi looked at Ye Shian and said, "Brother Ye and I grew up together, and now we have experienced life and death together, and we should be like brothers."
Ye Shian listened to this and smiled gently: "Ben was also a good brother at that time."
"Oh, here you are."
Shen Ming, who had been waiting beside him for a long time, listened, and said with dissatisfaction: "Just leave me here, Gu Jiusi, I was born and died for you for so long, so you treat me like this?"
"You are also a brother," Gu Jiusi heard this, laughed, raised his hand and rubbed Shen Ming's head, and said happily, "You are my brother, what's the matter?"
"I'm your uncle!"
Shen Ming rolled his eyes, but he was obviously much happy.
"Let's not talk about it," Zhou Ye said with a smile, "There are still many things to deal with. Let's go ahead and drink at night."
Gu Jiusi responded, only then did he remember and look at the woman standing next to Zhou Ye.
She was wearing a shirt and holding a long sword in her hand, Gu Jiusi laughed and said, "I never thought that my sister-in-law is also a heroine, and Jiusi admires it."
Qin Wanzhi pursed her lips and smiled, as if embarrassed: "But following Langjun, you are not a heroine, Master Gu is wrong."
"No no no," Shen Ming hurriedly praised sincerely, "You are the best woman I've ever seen. You can beat more than Ye Shian."
"Shen Ming," Ye Shian said indifferently, standing aside, "I found that you are particularly good at talking to women. How come you haven't decided on a marriage until today?"
"Because I'm poor." Hu Zi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly made a sound, Shen Ming heard this, and hurriedly went to catch Hu Zi. Huzi has been in the market for many years, fighting with those beggars a lot, with a slippery figure, dodging around a group of people. Everyone laughed, Gu Jiusi waved his hand, stopped them, and then discussed with Zhou Ye about the handling of the subsequent war, and then assigned tasks to everyone, and then dispersed.
Everyone did their own thing, Gu Jiusi personally interrogated Liang Wang and Qin Si, and figured out that they turned back because Qian San and Wang Mei, Shen Ming was so angry that he wanted to kill, but Wang Mei and Qin Si Qian San was already dead, and Shen Ming had no choice. In the end, he beat King Liang and Qin Si severely in prison, and then he calmed down.
Cleaning up the battlefield, arranging the wounded, arranging prisoners of war, counting the dead and preparing for compensation…
After instructing people on a series of things, at night, Gu Jiusi packed the restaurants in Wangdu City to reward the soldiers.
He didn't have much pretence, so he mixed into the army first and walked with all the soldiers with wine. This time the main battle was Gu Jiusi. Gu Jiusi accompanied them on the tower until the end, and had a very high reputation in the entire military camp. Everyone took turns toasting with Gu Jiusi. After Gu Jiusi was half-drunk, he retained the last trace of sobriety and asked Shen Ming and Hu Zi to keep the wine for him, and then went upstairs to find Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye sat alone in the box, Gu Jiusi stood at the door and sobered up before entering the box.
After Gu Jiusi entered the door, Zhou Ye poured tea for him and said with a smile, "I won't drink you wine, have a cup of tea, let's talk brothers."
Gu Jiusi responded and sat opposite Zhou Ye. The two first chatted about their respective lives. Zhou Ye followed the army south to attack the Eastern Capital, and they talked about trivial matters on the battlefield.
"Uncle Fan has a clever plan and is generous to others. After entering the Eastern Capital, it is probably a matter of time before he becomes emperor."
"If you are the emperor, then Young Master Fan will be the heir?"
Gu Jiusi was eating peanuts and opened his mouth. Zhou Ye fell silent. Gu Jiusi paused when he was eating peanuts. After a while, he smiled: "Really?"
"Uncle Fan doesn't have a choice either." Zhou Ye sighed, "He only has one son, and he wants to train others, but where can he find another son?"
Gu Jiusi did not speak. Fan Xuan had a very good relationship with his wife. After his wife died early, he never remarried and raised Fan Yu himself. It's just that he is too busy on weekdays and neglects discipline in the process of raising, so Fan Yu has developed a arrogant temperament.
Gu Jiusi touched the teacup, thinking about the short meeting with Fan Yu in Yangzhou. Although the time was short, Fan Yu's impression on him was definitely not good. Such a person will be enthroned in the future...
Gu Jiusi sighed, and then said: "It's all about the future, and it's not something we should worry about. Let's talk about ourselves." Gu Jiusi was silent for a while, and finally said, "You The secondment of 20,000 people this time is not without cost, right?"
Zhou Ye didn't respond, he lowered his head, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly: "I still can't hide it from you."
Speaking, he sighed and said: "The adoptive father said," he changed his tone, paused for a long time, as if to control his emotions, after a while, he finally said, "He wants me in the future , stay in Wangdu."
Gu Jiusi was stunned.
Now that Fan Xuan has invaded the Eastern Capital, proclaiming himself emperor is the next thing. After he is proclaimed emperor, it is natural for all those who helped him to be promoted to officials and titles. Dongdu was the core of Darong's power. Keeping Zhou Ye in Wangdu was obviously meant to prevent him from climbing up.
"You agreed?"
"Why don't you agree?" Zhou Ye smiled bitterly, "In the past, I always felt that my father regarded me as his own son, but my mother had opinions on me. But now I understand that I It's not personal after all."
After speaking, Zhou Ye sighed: "Actually, I also understand, after all, I am much older than my younger brother, everything in the Zhou family belongs to my younger brother after all, if I am too strong, who are they? Don't worry about it. I understand what my father thinks, but I just said..."
Zhou Ye took a deep breath, turned his head away, and held up the cup, as if in pain. Gu Jiusi sighed, touched Zhou Ye's wine glass, and persuaded: "There are nine times out of ten things in life that don't go your way, don't take it to heart. Although the family relationship is not going well, you have brothers like us, and," Gu Jiusi secretly tucked Said, "You and sister-in-law seem to be on good terms?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ye finally had a smile in his eyes. There was a bit of shyness in his smile. A man in his twenties had lost his usual stability and looked like a stunned head. The boy, rather embarrassed, said, "She is very good."
"People always have to understand each other," Gu Jiusi laughed, "Once you understand, you will know that they are excellent."
"Yeah," Zhou Ye smiled helplessly, "I thought she was a good-natured person, but who knew she was a hot-tempered person. She came to Youzhou to come to my house to fulfill the marriage contract. But she was frank enough, acted resolutely, and always thought of me, that is, the more you understand," Zhou Ye thought, with a smile in his eyes, "the more you think, this person is really nice. "
"That's fine," Gu Jiusi took a sip of tea, turned to look outside the corridor, and said softly, "She's fine, so you have a home."
When Zhou Ye heard these words, thinking of the woman at home, the discomfort in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He has a home.
He was well aware.
The two big men chatted and talked about their own affairs. When it was late at night, everyone dispersed, Gu Jiusi and Zhou Ye were separated, Gu Jiusi walked out of the restaurant, and as soon as he came out, he saw Gu's carriage stopped at the door, Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, then hurried forward, the driver leaned on the car and fell asleep, Gu Jiusi hurried to the front of the car, only then did the driver find Gu Jiusi, he didn't have time to say hello, he looked after Gu Jiusi Suddenly the curtain was lifted.
The girl was sitting in the carriage, lighting up the lights, and pondering the abacus. The lights illuminated her face, the pearl earrings beside her ears swayed gently, and the cold wind that Gu Jiusi lifted the curtain seemed to startle her, she raised her head abruptly, her expression a little flustered, and when she saw that it was Gu Jiusi, her eyes quickly calmed down.
"Come up."
She greeted and stretched out her hand towards Gu Jiusi, who took her hand and jumped into the carriage.
"How much wine did you drink?" Liu Yuru took the food box from the side, took out the hangover soup at the bottom, and said softly: "I made the hangover soup for you, you drink it first. "
Gu Jiusi didn't answer, he sat opposite her, raised Erlang's legs, propped his chin and watched her do all this, smiling: "Have you been waiting for me?"
"Yeah." Liu Yuru scooped the hangover soup into a bowl, looked at the food box, and said casually, "I'm worried that you've been drinking too much, so I came to pick you up specially."
"Liar."
Gu Jiusi whispered in a low voice, Liu Yuru couldn't understand, turned her head to look, and then listened to Gu Jiusi's righteous words: "Why are you worried about me, you obviously miss me."
"You..." Liu Yuru was about to refute, when Gu Jiusi raised her hand and pressed her lips, Gu Jiusi looked at her with a smile, half squatted down, looked at her seriously and said, "As I thought You too."
I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns.
