royal girl

Chapter 72 A Thousand Miles of Light and Shadow 5
The people around laughed, and they were naturally happy to watch this excitement.Usually, Gu Guangji and Dong Yunji were not at odds. They were about the same age and abilities, but this time Dong Yunji took the lead and grabbed his tongue. He was naturally a little annoyed.It's bad luck for Huiyu to meet such a fearless master.

"Bi, let's see how powerful the ladies in Kyoto are."

"Bah, get the hell out of here, vulgar people like you, how are you lucky to see this, you can see the craftsmanship of a lady in Kyoto, go home and look in the mirror, it's worthy!"

The people on both sides immediately fought, Dong Yunji and Gu Guangji stood on each side, their eyes met, their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

Huiyu was blocked by Dong Yunji, and now she understood that it was two brats fighting for face in the second stage of middle school, but she accidentally picked a hole and became cannon fodder.It's really unlucky, how can I become cannon fodder everywhere?
"It's interesting. How does Your Highness think my granddaughter will solve this matter?" Xing Yulang asked with a smile.

Ji Qiyu had a very strange feeling at this moment, Xing Yulang wasn't worried about whether Dong Yunji would lose face, nor was he worried about whether Dong Huiyu could solve this matter satisfactorily, so he just watched the excitement with his hands behind his back.Xing Yulang's behavior made Ji Qiyu unable to see what he was thinking for a while. No one can catch Xing Yulang so far, but his behavior style is also... different, which is really puzzling through.

"The general doesn't seem to be worried at all." Ji Qiyu didn't answer directly, looking at Xing Yulang and asked.If Dong Huiyu's brother and sister were defeated, he, a great general, would probably lose face.

Xing Yulang laughed, "If you can't even solve this matter, what are you doing at the border? Go back to where you came from. I don't want to waste people here."

Ji Qiyu: ...

Those are not outsiders, but your own nephew and granddaughter.However, after Xing Yulang said this, Ji Qiyu somewhat understood the reason why Xing Yulang was able to stand upright for so many years.

"The general seems to be very confident that the second girl Dong will win." Ji Qiyu didn't understand where Xing Yulang's confidence came from. Dong Huiyu's riding skills were indeed good, but it was only among women, and he might not have much chance of winning against Shang Gu Guangji.It's not that Dong Huiyu is so incompetent, but that Gu Guangji rides a horse-drawn bow at the border every day. How can Dong Huiyu compare?

Xing Yulang just smiled and didn't answer, but he was slandering in his heart, how could Er Yatou, a little fox, suffer?He also wants to see how his precious granddaughter solves this dilemma.He has always had some reservations about Huiyu.

Xing Yulang didn't answer, and Ji Qiyu didn't continue to ask. He looked up at the field, what would Dong Huiyu do?Admit defeat or try?

At this moment, Huiyu stretched out his hand and pushed Dong Yunji, "Brother, get out of the way."

Dong Huiyu also felt that he seemed to have gone too far this time, so he said to Huiyu, "It's okay, brother will take care of you."

Top P!

"You don't have confidence in your sister?" Huiyu said.

"Of course, of course." Dong Yunji said immediately.Never admit that he has some wavering thoughts, otherwise he will be burned to death by his sister's anger.

"Since my brother believes in me so much, please step aside." Huiyu smiled slightly and pulled the reins.

Dong Yunji touched his nose and moved aside, "Don't try to be brave, it's actually not a big deal."

"I'm not that stupid to put myself in danger for an irrelevant person." Hui Yu responded, and drove forward, looking head-on at Gu Guangji and him.

Seeing Huiyu approaching, Gu Guangji smiled provocatively, "Are you finally willing to come out?"

The brat really deserves a beating!

Huiyu smiled sweetly, looked at Gu Guangji and said, "Brother Gu, your belt is open."

"what?"

Gu Guangji was startled, and looked at his waist in embarrassment. At this moment, Huiyu suddenly leaned over and reached out to grab his lying rabbit in Gu Guangji's hand (explain, the lying rabbit is an ancient A kind of women's jewelry, worn in the hair in winter and made of fur to keep warm).

Gu Guangji knew that he had been deceived and went back to recuperate, trying to avoid Huiyu's slender hands.At this moment, I only felt a pain in my waist, and I fell off the horse.

Huiyu retracted her feet, held her lying rabbit with her fingertips, and looked at Gu Guangji who was sitting on the ground with a flushed face, smiling.

It happened so suddenly, who would have thought that Huiyu would make a sudden move, and so cleanly.

Everyone was stunned!

"You cheated!" Gu Guangji complained, feeling wronged.

"Every defeated general will feel wronged by his failure. Brother Gu, you are a student of the art of war, don't you know the tricks of soldiers?" Huiyu glanced at him, and stretched out his hand to put the lying rabbit in his hair, "Don't do it for me. It's not manly to make excuses for your own failures."

"Well said, as expected of the great general's granddaughter, hahaha. Brat, you're playing tricks even if you lose, why don't you hurry and get out of here." I don't know when Gu Guangji's father, General Zuo, Gu Cang, also arrived. Slipping Gu Guangji behind him, he looked at Huiyu and said, "Little girl did a good job, you have a clever idea, you won."

Dong Yunji got off the horse, and Huiyu followed, and heard her brother say to her, "Huiyu, I have seen Uncle Gushi."

"Hello, Uncle Gu Shi." Hui Yu immediately saluted obediently and greeted him. He had a good impression of this tough-looking man, and he was quite aboveboard.

"Okay, okay, oh, your grandfather looks forward to it day and night, and praises how smart and powerful his granddaughter is in front of my old man all day long. It really is better to be famous than to meet each other. The little girl is good, and she has a bit of your grandfather's true biography. The old fox is very cunning."

Huiyu, hehe, what she said was so direct that she was too embarrassed to answer it, so she could only bow her head and pretend to be shy.

"Why are you here?" Xing Yulang walked over with a big smile, and said to Ji Qiyu: "Yesterday, the old man failed to come back to meet His Highness, and at this time the left general, Gu Cang."

"Gu Cang greets His Highness."

Gu Cang saluted immediately, and Ji Qiyu half-supported him with his hand, "General Gu, you don't need to salute too much, get up quickly."

Gu Cang didn't really bow down, and stood up according to the situation, and Ji Qiyu's eyebrows didn't move, as if he didn't see it.Then I heard Gu Cang laughing again and said: "Oh, the general is finally able to see the granddaughter who talks about it day and night, I'm afraid he's overjoyed. Such a golden and jade-like granddaughter has a bit of quick wit, no wonder you are talking about it."

"When I get old, I like to enjoy family happiness." Xing Yulang said with a smile, then looked at Huiyu and said, "The little girl is still the same as when she was a child, she is so narrow-minded. You still can't tease people like this, hurry up Apologize to your Gu family brother."

Hui Yu faintly felt that there was something wrong with the situation between Xing Yulang and Gu Cang, and the name Gu Cang was somewhat familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where this person was mentioned in the original text.But Huiyu is not a fool, so she could hear the meaning of Xing Yulang's words, she immediately raised her head slightly, and said, "Grandfather, you are biased, and all your heart is for the elder brother of the Gu family. I am not playing tricks, This is called resourcefulness, do you know? I don’t want to apologize, and I didn’t do anything wrong.” As he spoke, he stomped his feet and turned around angrily to leave! ,

Xing Yulang looked at Huiyu's back and sighed, "This child is really ignorant, Gu Gu, don't mind, this child is spoiled by me."

Gu Cang smiled, "What is this kid, what the little girl said is right, it's that bastard who doesn't live up to expectations."

Xing Yulang talked enthusiastically with Gu Cang, Dong Yunji and Gu Cang brought their two teams to compete again, and there were applause one after another in the martial arts training field.Ji Qiyu watched with cold eyes and thought a little in her heart. It seems that the border is not monolithic. This is actually nothing unusual. What is unusual is Dong Huiyu's reaction.

At least the Dong Huiyu that Ji Qiyu knew would definitely not be a delicate girl who would walk away in such a situation, but she acted like a spoiled lady from the beginning to the end.Willful and arrogant, domineering, and pulled off Gu Guangji's hairband before, was it really unintentional?

Ji Qiyu came to the border for a serious business, since all the generals had arrived, it was natural to gather everyone and begin to announce the decree.

Huiyu had no part with Mrs. Dong Er, so naturally she stayed in the backyard. At this time, Huiyu was drinking a bowl of hot sour plum soup, and said casually: "Mother, have you heard that your grandfather mentioned General Gu Zuo?" ?”

Mrs. Dong is playing with a box of jewelry her father just sent her last night. They were seized from the enemy. The workmanship of the things outside the Great Wall is a bit rough. Mrs. Dong doesn't like it. That's all.Listening to her daughter's words, she asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's not a big deal. It's not that I met Gu Guangji, the young son of General Gu Zuo's family, riding a horse with my brother today. I think he is targeting my brother." Huiyu didn't make it too clear, after all, Dong The second lady didn't care too much about these important matters, and she talked too much to avoid her being overwhelmed.

Sure enough, Mrs. Dong didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "What's the matter, these little guys at the border have grown up like this, it's okay, don't worry."

"Mother, has this General Gu Zuo been with my grandfather for a long time?"

"How do I know? Why do I ask a lot about my married daughter's grandfather." Mrs. Dong Er frowned, "But I haven't heard your grandfather talk about it before."

"Oh, that's it." Huiyu responded casually, but thinking that Xing Yulang is not the kind of person who tells the affairs of the army, and her mother is not a person who pays much attention to outside affairs, she Asking is just trying to hit luck, but luck is not very good, so I will probably know if I ask her brother later.

"The fourth prince should be able to return to Beijing after he announces his decree?" Mrs. Dong Er wished that Ji Qiyu would leave immediately.

"The fourth prince is injured, I guess it won't be so soon." Even if the fourth prince is not favored, the emperor will not let his own son drive away with his illness. It is estimated that Ji Qiyu can only leave after recovering from his injury.Huiyu thought of the guard who died in the grass nest that day. No matter who wanted to assassinate Ji Qiyu, Ji Qiyu would not return to Beijing in a short time.

He was injured for a hundred days, and his arm was broken. No matter what, he would have to take care of him for three or four months.Huiyu was a little distressed. Ji Qiyu's lethality was too great, and she was not a girl who was particularly resolute in the face of male sex. As a time-traveling woman, admiring male sex is not a shameful act. The key is that she is in ancient times, so she can't see it. trouble.

Moreover, not only Ji Qiyu's appearance is lethal, but this person's methods may be more lethal. Huiyu doesn't want to experience the taste of it. A good impression must be kept at a reasonable distance.

Sure enough, the emperor's rewarding army made all the soldiers at the border very happy. In the past few days, cheerful voices outside could be heard through the wall.A few days later, the government's decree came, and as Huiyu expected, the emperor asked Ji Qiyu to recover from his injuries before returning, not to delay next year's draft.

That is to say, as long as Ji Qiyu rushes back before the draft, he can stay at the border for four or five months.

Huiyu expressed a little upset.

Because of what happened to Gu Guangji a few days ago, Huiyu stayed in the general's mansion honestly these few days, and because the emperor rewarded the army, Xing Yulang took his men to the barracks to read the emperor's grace, Ji Qiyu accompanied, Dong Yunji naturally also followed.

Huiyu and Mrs. Dong could only stay bored.Perhaps because of the arrival of Mrs. Dong, the wives of Shidunkou City sent invitations these days, intending to meet the general's favorite daughter.The matter of Mrs. Dong Er's coming to the border was not covered up. After all, such a thing could not be kept hidden forever.

"Mother doesn't plan to socialize?" Huiyu flicked the invitations on the table, most of which were sent by the famous families in Shidunkou City.

"I'm a married daughter who is showing off here, of course I don't see her. But when replying to the post, you should pay special attention to the tone, so as not to make people feel dissatisfied."

Huiyu nodded. Her mother is still very measured. It would be a foolish thing to make friends with people here without any scruples. The emperor may not like Mrs. Dong Er, who is the second daughter-in-law of the Dong family. She has too much relationship with the officials here at the border. contacts.

"If there is no news from Beijing, what should we do with the Xia family's affairs?" Huiyu asked.

"I'm afraid it won't be so fast." Mrs. Dong Er sneered, these aristocratic families are just like that, no matter how angry and annoyed they are, they can't wait to die, as long as there are interests mixed together, everything can be covered. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left here.

After coming to the border for so many years, Huiyu has never heard a word from Xing Yulang, let alone met her alone.Huiyu knew that Xing Yulang must have a lot to ask her, but it was just that time was running out, and what should he say and how to do it is the right way?
Meeting a grandfather who is scheming, strategic and has a long-term vision, Huiyu expressed a lot of pressure.

In addition, they have not made any statement about Ji Qiyu's dead bodyguard, and Ji Qiyu may have an account in mind.And looking at the completely different sides of Ji Qiyu in the border and in the capital, even if he came here, he would not think of returning empty-handed.What is the most valuable thing at the border?military power!In whose hands is the military power?His grandfather!Ji Qiyu wanted to make friends with Xing Yulang and maintain a good cooperative relationship, but he didn't know what he would do.

None of these were explained in the original text, nor did it happen. It was because of her arrival that the accident occurred. As for how far this line will develop, even Huiyu herself is not sure.

There is also the draft in the capital, this time I escaped from the capital, won't it hinder Xia Bingyu and Dong Wan's affairs, right?Can't we cannon fodder her again?If it wasn't for avoiding this draft, she wouldn't have encouraged her mother to come here.

The thick windshield curtain was lifted, and Xueqi walked in quietly, looked at Huiyu and said to Mrs. Dong Er, "Madam, Miss, Madam Gu is here to visit."

Huiyu was taken aback, and Mrs. Dong also felt a little surprised. She had already replied to Gu's post, so why did she come to the door directly.

When visiting others, you must post a post in advance and make an appointment before you can come to the door. This is a kind of respect for the other party.Mrs. Gu was a bit rude to do this, no wonder Mrs. Dong Er was a little displeased and surprised.

"Since we're here, it's not a bad time to see you. Why don't you see my mother, and my daughter is waiting here." Huiyu didn't want to have any interaction with Mrs. Gu at this time, she could tell that the Gu family and her grandfather were not on the same side. , Naturally, it is better to have less contact.

Mrs. Dong Er nodded, only those who are close to them will let their children come out to meet people, and the Gu family is obviously not in this category.Mrs. Dong Er asked the girl to invite someone to sit in the small flower hall outside, and she would go there in a while.

The small flower hall is just outside but separated by a wall. Sitting here, Huiyu can vaguely hear the movement in the room next door, and she is also thinking about Mrs. Gu's coming, but no matter how she thinks about it, she doesn't understand the relationship between the Gu family and the Xing family. , it is impossible to draw conclusions.

Soon there was a voice from the next door. Mrs. Dong Er changed her clothes for meeting guests, took a look at Huiyu, and then walked out.

Huiyu heard her mother greet Mrs. Gu next door, and Mrs. Dong Er is not really a person who doesn't know how to interact with people, so she won't feel any pressure to talk to Mrs. Gu at this time.

"...I've heard that Madam is coming, but I just thought I'd have to rest for a few days when I first came here, so I bothered you. If you take the liberty to come here today, please don't make a fuss about Madam."

Huiyu heard Mrs. Gu's voice very pleasantly, and it didn't sound like she was very old.Thinking of the Gu Cang he met that day, he looked younger than his grandfather, but he must be much older than Mrs. Dong Er.Then the voice of Mrs. Gu next door... But it sounds like her mother's age is not much different, if it is the original match, unless Mrs. Gu is well maintained, if not, then there is only one possibility, Mrs. Gu next door It is likely to be Gu Cang's stepmother.

Moreover, as Mrs. Gu's wife and general's wife, she lowered her attitude towards Mrs. Dong Er, probably because Mrs. Dong Er was not only the daughter of Xing Yulang, but also the daughter-in-law of the Dong family, the head of the four major families in Kyoto.

"Ma'am, you are serious. I am very tired after driving for several days, and I also got cold when the road was blocked by wind and snow, so I didn't see people."

Mrs. Dong's voice came slowly, and the sincerity of the voice would not make it false.

Mrs. Gu is an extremely talkative person, and knows how to talk to people, and can control the rhythm of the conversation.The two talked about the scenery and customs along the way, the differences in clothing, jewelry, and makeup, and finally talked about the children of the two families.Mrs. Gu also specially praised Dong Yunji for being a hero when he was young, and praised Huiyu for being beautiful, cute, smart, smart, and all kinds of compliments were generously thrown at the brothers and sisters.

Huiyu felt something was wrong when she heard it. Even if she praised other people's children, she didn't go out and pile up good words without money.

Mrs. Dong also praised the other party's child twice, but she just didn't mention other things, and didn't follow Mrs. Gu's words.It's understandable to ask about the girl's family's tooth sequence, but it's too rude to ask this when they meet for the first time.

Huiyu vaguely had some outlines, and her expression became a little dignified.He stretched out his hand to call Xueying over, and whispered a few words to her, Xueying nodded and went out.After about a cup of tea, Xueying came back, and said in a low voice beside Huiyu, "I have found out clearly, this Mrs. Gu who came here is the successor of General Gu Zuo, and this is the son who competed with the girl the day before yesterday." The wife's biological son. Besides this little son, General Gu Zuo's ex-wife left behind a son, who heard that his health was not very good and he didn't come out to see people very often, and he had to take medicine several times a year." Pause After a pause, he continued: "This Mrs. Gu has a very good reputation. Everyone mentions that she is kind and generous. She treats the eldest son better than her own."

Huiyu nodded, or this Mrs. Gu is a real virgin who treats the son left behind by others as her own.However, the child left by the predecessors occupies the position of the eldest son, which is equivalent to blocking the way of her own child. Can she really be so virtuous?
Huiyu didn't want to believe it, and when Mrs. Gu said that the eldest son of the Gu family praised him all the time, but he didn't say a few nice words to Gu Guangji... Both of them spoke in a softer voice afterward. Huiyu couldn't hear her here.

After finally sending Mrs. Gu away, Mrs. Dong's expression was not so good when she came back.

Huiyu looked at it and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Toad wants to eat swan meat. It's a good idea. She really dares to say this, just because of her and the Gu family's face?" Mrs. Dong raised her eyebrows angrily, showing that she was really angry, and looked up at Huiyu Said: "You don't want to go out recently. It seems that the news in Kyoto is spreading really fast. Others really think that our mother and daughter have come to the border to escape."

There is something wrong with this, Huiyu frowned and looked at her mother, "Mother, you mean someone deliberately spread false rumors to Shidunkou City?" Who is this wicked, and this is not important, what is important Who can have such contacts, methods and strength, and can spread the rumors as soon as Mrs. Dong's mother and daughter arrived.

What the hell did the Xia family do?
But the matter of their departure from Beijing is very secretive. Is it possible that the Xia family can get news from Bei'an Hou Mansion in such a short period of time?This is impossible!

But what went wrong?

Huiyu glanced at Mrs. Dong Er, and said to Xueqi: "Go and see if your grandfather is back. If you come back, ask if your grandfather has time to see me."

"Yes, servant girl will go now." Xue Qi replied.

After Xueqi left, Huiyu suddenly smiled, looked at Mrs. Dong and said, "This is really interesting. It seems that some people don't want our life to be too easy."

The name of Gu Cang Huiyu always felt a little familiar, and slowly searched in the memory of the original text in his mind.Although she was very passionate when reading the text, it didn't mean that she could remember every little person who appeared infrequently.This person may only appear once or twice in the text, but the destructive power caused may be huge.

Just like at this moment, the name Gu Cang gave her a sense of heaviness, like a sharp knife hanging above her head, she felt danger before she got close.

Soon Xueqi came back, and bowed to the two of them, "The general is back, let the girl go."

Huiyu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said to Mrs. Dong Er, "Mother, I'm going to talk to my grandfather."

Mrs. Dong frowned, "What a child like to say about such a thing, I will naturally say it." In the eyes of Mrs. Dong, the marriage of children is decided by the parents, and Huiyu personally came forward It just doesn't follow the rules, and she doesn't want others to use it as an excuse.

"Then I'll go with my mother, and I promise I won't talk nonsense." Dong Huiyu said quickly, she knew that Mrs. Dong would be very opinionated about some things, and it was the pride and rules that were carved into the bones of this person born and bred in time and space.

The Second Madam Dong glanced at her daughter and disapproved very much. Huiyu hurriedly took the Second Madam Dong's arm and walked out, "Don't keep grandfather waiting, let's hurry mother."

No one knew about the relationship between Huiyu and Xing Yulang, otherwise Huiyu would not have met Xing Yulang, a great general who was always on the go, right away. It can be seen that Xing Yulang also knew that Huiyu would not make such a request suddenly.
