Gu Huaizhong chased after him for a whole night and a day, but he didn't catch anything except for the exhaustion.

He stopped on the road more than once to ask passers-by and street vendors if there was a group of people passing by, among them a beautiful woman and a beautiful little girl, but unfortunately all who returned to him shook their heads.

Until the evening of the second page. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Gu Huaizhong finally restrained his horse and stopped in the center of the official road.

He looked at the road going south a little blankly, the road was straight. Under the light of the setting sun, the road was dyed with a faint golden color, but in his eyes it seemed so desolate and pale. Gu Huaizhong had never felt so powerless before, the sparse pedestrians around him passed by in a hurry, and they all had a goal in their eyes, but Gu Huaizhong seemed like a person who had lost his way.

He turned over and dismounted, silently turned back, and You Yi reluctantly glanced at the road going south.

They left so decisively. So straightforward, so unpretentious, his full of anger gradually turned into disappointment in the night and day of tracking, he should be angry, angry enough to use all his strength to mobilize all the relationships he can mobilize, The mother and daughter who dared to disobey him and betrayed him were arrested, then tortured and taunted them severely. Give them back the shame they have inflicted on themselves little by little.

Gu Huaizhong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and his whole body trembled as he laughed. After 20 years of hard work, from the first time he saw General Liang when he joined the army, he swore in his heart that one day he would also be with Liang. Like a general, he is majestic, commanding thousands of troops. With the momentum to look at the world.

He went from admiration to approach, and then he performed well in front of General Liang, and was favored by him. He stayed by his side and taught him martial arts and tactics. What General Liang gave him was not as good as what a father should give.

He took him back to Jiangnan to visit relatives, and he inadvertently rescued a flower-like girl who was actually the daughter of a general.

Yes, since the first time he married Liang Huaiyu, he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life, and he was the one who was envied by everyone. He himself thought so too. He returned to the border with the pride of a young man, but cruelly discovered that it turned out to be a son of a poor family like him. What kind of incompatibility in the eyes of others to be able to marry the daughter of the general. All his exploits became less important before his unique identity.

At that time, he accidentally rescued another woman, a woman who could only cling to him like a vine. He had a relationship with her in a confused way. When he woke up, he panicked. He knew that he was sorry not only for Liang Huaiyu, but also for General Liang who treated him like his own son.

At that time, it wasn't that he never had the intention to kill Liu Yue. He squeezed her delicate throat fiercely, but she didn't resist at all, just looked at him calmly.

For some reason, looking at Liu Yue's eyes at that time, he gradually let go.

Like her, he came from a poor family, so do people who come from a humble background deserve to be trampled on?

He mysteriously left her behind and asked her to follow him as a soldier until she realized that she was pregnant, which made Gu Huaizhong panic again. After all, it was his own flesh and blood, so he couldn't do anything, so he could only secretly send her to a nearby herdsman's home to raise her.

The conditions of the herdsmen's house were not good, but Liu Yue didn't complain at all, and gave birth to a pair of twins for him under such difficult conditions.

This made him ecstatic. At that time, he had hugged his child with his own hands and felt his heart swell a little bit.

He forgot that in Jiangnan, there was also a woman who had been pregnant for ten months and suffered the pain of giving birth, and gave birth to a daughter for him.

In Gu Huaizhong's impression, that woman was of a noble birth, she was well-dressed and had no shortage of everything. Her daughter was naturally taken care of, but the pair of children who were born at the border lived in a dirty tent. As the shepherds moved around, they had to keep the torment of war. In contrast, his heart will naturally be more here.

Is he wrong? In Gu Huaizhong's view, he was not wrong at all.

Liang Huaiyu's condition is really good, and Liu Yue has nothing else but herself.

Even he knows his partiality towards Liu Yue, and his awe for Liang Huaiyu is growing day by day. The longer he hides her, the more uneasy he feels in his heart. When I wrote a letter, I didn't even want to write it to Liang Huaiyu.

After General Liang was shot by the arrow, all the military affairs were entrusted to him. He knew that his father-in-law was deliberately cultivating himself. He was excited. When he felt the pride and pride that came from the bottom of his heart, he also developed a dependence on the right, and he did not want to give it back.

Yes, he did not want General Liang to recover! Even in the bottom of his heart, he viciously hoped that General Liang would die.

He couldn't tell anyone what was on his mind, he knew it was a sin, but he still told Liu Yue, because during those years, only Liu Yue was the one he could talk to.

He even replaced General Liang's medicine secretly, hoping that his recovery would be slower, or that he would not recover, and simply resign and return to his hometown to spend his later years, so that he could firmly control the Liang family army in his hands, without poison. Not husband.

The sky looked down on him, but General Liang was so sick that he could not afford it, it got worse and worse, and finally passed away. This made Gu Huaizhong both surprised and happy.

When General Liang's coffin returned to his hometown, he could only reply to a letter saying that he couldn't get away from it out of a guilty conscience. In fact, because of General Liang's sudden death, there have been some rumors that shocked him, that is General Liang's death. was killed.

He had secretly changed the medicine, but it would not be fatal. In order to fear that his medicine change would be exposed, Gu Huaizhong had no choice but to exclude the generals who were loyal to General Liang in the Liang Family Army. Some of them deliberately rebelled. Under the arrangement of Emperor Jing, the Liang family army, who once made Rouran feel frightened, was disbanded by him using various means. The generals were either dead or missing, and some loyal sergeants were also missing.

Rouran launched an attack at this time, and Emperor Jing felt uneasy, and decided to go on a personal expedition. Gu Huaizhong knew that his chance was coming. Sure enough, he became famous in the first battle, and he has soared from then on.

Thinking back on the past, Gu Huaizhong felt a little chill in his body.

Gu Huaizhong laughed so loudly that the pedestrians who passed by him were all looking sideways. Isn't this man in brocade clothes but a dusty face in front of him crazy! Very good, Liang Huaiyu, Gu Yuqi, worthy of his wife and daughter, dare to act, as a woman to make such a big noise, it is not much less courageous than what he did at the border back then. Well, since your mother and daughter are so heartless, then he doesn't need to save anything. From now on, he will be at odds with Liang Huaiyu and Gu Huaizhong!

If they were obediently staying in the capital and staying in his mansion, Gu Huaizhong could still pretend that nothing happened before, because in the capital, under his watch, their mother and daughter were completely bound, it was impossible. They have been in contact with people in the past. Now the mother and daughter are far away, and there are still remnants of Liang Jiajun who have not been found by him. If they get in touch with those people, I'm afraid... The more Gu Huaizhong thought about it, the more uneasy his heart became.

It took a long time for Gu Huaizhong to finish laughing. He raised his hand and touched the oozing tears from the corners of his eyes. After the riot that night, the capital must have turned into a pot of porridge. The mother and daughter left, but he couldn't. He has to go back to face the anger of His Royal Highness Prince An and His Majesty's questioning, and even His Highness the Eldest Princess is expected to intervene in this matter, including His Highness the Crown Prince, I am afraid that he will not easily let him go.

He disbanded the Liang family army in disguise and replaced General Liang's medicine. Is this because his daughter and granddaughter are collecting debts from him?

A vicious thought gradually took root in his heart, but only slightly nourished by apprehension and fear, it grew crazily like sunshine and rain.

Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi also rushed all night without stopping. When they arrived at the first town in the north, Gu Yuqi felt that everyone should rest here for a while.

Not all of them entered the town. To avoid their pursuers, they stopped in a wood outside the town.

Gu Yuqi only let Chun Xing and Zhao Wu go to the town, bought some ordinary clothes with broken silver, bought dry food, water and some necessities of life, such as pots, bowls, bedding, etc., and bought three carts . The carriage of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion carried the emblem of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and it was too conspicuous to appear on the official road during the day.

When Chun Xing and Zhao Wu came back, the master and servant changed their clothes, ate some dry food hastily, and moved all the baggage to the newly bought cart, and then they started the road again.

Before leaving, Gu Yuqi did not forget to ask everyone to dismantle the original carriage, and take all the dismantled wooden boards with them, and burn them as firewood along the way.

In order to save time, Gu Yuqi divided the crew into four groups, and got into two cars to rest, while the rest continued to drive on horseback. , Gu Yuqi then chose a forest to rest.

Gu Yuqi has already thoroughly mastered the Jiuzhou Zhibei in Gu Huaizhong's study, and even the map labels in it. She doesn't need any maps at all. She is a fire map herself. From the north of the capital to Kuizhou, where there are towns, where are they? There is a post station, and she knows all the specialties along the way.

After the break, Dai Mei and Xia He worked together to cook in the pot, while Gu Yuqi sat on the side and was slightly dazed.

Chun Xing and Zhao Wu were still sent by Gu Yuqi to the town in front of them to buy things. She also told Chun Xing to remember to buy a herb called dead leaf grass.

As the name suggests, the leaves of this herb are like fallen leaves, and even in the spring and summer, the leaves are withered yellow.

Chun Xing and Zhao Wu didn't understand why the young lady went to buy this rare herb, and they also bought all the dead leaves that could be bought in the towns they passed along the way, and packed them in a large wooden box, but the young lady said, It's always right, just listen.

The output of this herb is not high, but it is not widely used. The pharmacy owners were very happy to meet Chun Xing and Zhao Wu, who asked for everything when they asked for it. They knew that this herb could not sell a pound or two a year.

"What are you thinking about?" Liang Huaiyu tidied herself up briefly, jumped out of the carriage and walked to her daughter's side to sit down. She raised her hand and gently smoothed her daughter's loose hair.

Since she left the capital, her daughter's worries have become heavier and heavier, and she often wanders off by herself.

This is called Liang Huaiyu's heartache. She only thinks that Gu Yuqi has become depressed because of the bumps along the way. Her daughter is like a flower, and she is not even fifteen years old. Don't follow her around. This made Liang Huaiyu sometimes wonder if she was really impulsive, maybe Gu Huaizhong's decision was the best for Gu Yuqi?

"If you want to go back..." Liang Huaiyu's eyes dimmed, "It's not impossible."

"Mother, don't think about it." Gu Yuqi was surprised when she noticed Liang Huaiyu's low expression, she quickly grabbed Liang Huaiyu's hand and said with a smile, "You don't think I want to go back to the capital and continue to be that prince. Is it the first lady of the government?"

Liang Huaiyu looked at Gu Yuqi guiltily, her big eyes full of doubts, wasn't it?

"You really think too much." Gu Yuqi couldn't help laughing, "Mother, you know that what I have always longed for is a free and free life, in fact, this time I really admire my mother, and I will leave Hou Hou with such a great determination for me. Mansion, leave the capital. It’s good to have brocade clothes and jade food in the capital, but neither of us are happy. Is life only for that little external enjoyment? I want to take my mother to a different kind of experience. We will have our own world, in which we do not need to submit to anyone, we are the kings there! Isn't that bad?"

King! ! ! Liang Huaiyu's eyes widened, this...this...this...isn't this outrageous, isn't this a treason?

"Ah, you..."

Looking at Liang Huaiyu's terrified eyes, Gu Yuqi couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't worry, mother, I have the measure. I also know that this is just an extravagant hope." After she finished speaking, she sighed, her eyes slightly slightly A little erratic, "But I will do my best to make the two of us live free and happy. No one dares to issue orders to us. At least we must measure and measure before issuing orders."

Listening to Gu Yuqi's words, Liang Huaiyu was a little relieved, and she couldn't help laughing, "Ah, what are you thinking about in your mind? Don't talk nonsense about the kind of words that will destroy the nine clans in the future. ." She reminded, "Then why were you in a daze just now?"

"I just remembered something." Gu Yuqi said solemnly, "Mother, do you want to believe that I have an ability."

"What ability?" Liang Huaiyu asked in confusion.

"I can foresee what's going to happen in the future." Gu Yuqi thought for a while before expressing in a tactful way that she was a monster with an alien.

"This..." Liang Huaiyu was obviously startled, and opened her red lips slightly, but couldn't close them for a long time.

"Don't you believe it?" Gu Yuqi tilted her head and said, well, she has had enough in this life, pretending to be a little girl, a prodigy, a talented girl, and now she has developed to pretending to be a genius! ! ! !

"What did you foresee?" Liang Huaiyu asked cautiously. Department of Yanggou number.

This kind of foreseeing the future is so mysterious that even Liang Huaiyu dared not just nod his head and say that he believed in his daughter.

"I foresee that in more than half a month, a rare disease will break out in Daqi." Gu Yuqi said with a long sigh. "So my daughter collected all the dead grass along the way."

Liang Huaiyu was shocked, "Really?"

"Really!" Gu Yuqi nodded solemnly, "In another month and a half, dead grass will become more expensive than gold."

"Then..." Liang Huaiyu wanted to blurt out, should we tell other people about this kind of thing, so that everyone should prepare as soon as possible, but halfway through the question, seeing the strange look in her daughter's eyes, she swallowed the following words.

Yes, the daughter's current identity has been expelled from the house by the Houfu. It's hard to see it. If you still say that a plague is about to happen soon, the price of withered grass will become extraordinarily expensive. It's not for yourself. Trouble? It's not bad to be regarded as a lunatic, but to be regarded as a person who harbors evil intentions, and everyone yells and beats it, it is bad.

"Mother, I'm not buying these grass to make a lot of money, but to be useful." Gu Yuqi said, "If mother believes in me, just wait and see."

"Okay." Liang Huaiyu was skeptical at first, but Gu Yuqi's words were so firm and firm that she couldn't help but be convinced. Although her daughter often made deviant remarks and actions, none of them were unreliable.

Here, the mother and daughter are going north, collecting all the dead leaves that can be collected.

Gu Huaizhong also returned to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion on the night of the third day. The first thing he did when he went back was to send a message to all the royal family members and nobles in the capital that Liang Huaiyu was burned to death by the fire in the Marquis Mansion. Gu Yuqi's whereabouts are unknown.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration as he walked down the road.

In Jingzhaoyin's house, there is a book of reconciliation between him and Liang Huaiyu, and Gu Yuqi also broke away from him in front of Jingzhaoyin's house. No matter where they are now, these two people are a disgrace to his Dingyuanhou House. He couldn't bear to be greeted by what everyone called "hush and ask for warmth" once he returned to Beijing. He expected that Liang Huaiyu would take Gu Yuqi away this time, and he would definitely remain anonymous and would no longer easily show his face. Liang Huaiyu has not been in the capital for a long time. Even if he went to a winter hunting party with him, he became famous, but because of Gu Yuqi's illness, not many people saw Liang Huaiyu's real face, even if he had met Xun in the capital. Your family is always squatting in the capital, where will they run around the world, so the chance of Xungui in Jingzhong meeting Liang Huaiyu again is very rare.

He has been chasing the southward road for a long time without finding the whereabouts of their mother and daughter, which proves that their mother and daughter are not ready to go back to Jiangnan at all. Since he didn't dare to go back to Jiangnan, he was afraid of his revenge, at least he wouldn't show his face for a short time.

This time was enough for him to quell the rumors in Beijing.

As for the Jing Zhaoyin, after thinking about it, he still sent someone to send a large sum of money. The purpose of sending the money was naturally to conceal the content of the night and the book, and claimed that Gu Yuqi was rebellious and wanted to leave and his father. female relationship.

Jing Zhaoyin originally wanted to secretly spread the contents of Heli Shu, so as to wash away the shame of being scolded by Gu Huaizhong that night, but in view of the face of the money, he chose to keep it secret for the time being. At least during his term of office, it will be kept secret. As for his future transfer from Jing Zhaoyin's position, he will not guarantee it.

Because he robbed the sergeant's horse at the city gate, he had to go to say hello to the Governor's Mansion. Gu Huaizhong had already made plans on the way back. He first found out that His Royal Highness Prince An was still in Huguo Temple and did not come back, so he decided to enter. The palace went to see Emperor Jing.

As soon as he saw Emperor Jing, he fell to the ground, crying with snot and tears.

Emperor Jing received a report from the Magistrate, that the Marquis Dingyuan broke into the city gate privately and took away the army horses. In the past few days, the papers against him have been flying all over the sky, making Emperor Jing also irritated, but when he saw Gu Huaizhong coming up, he cried in a daze. Rao Shijing was also a little curious.

"What's wrong with Gu Aiqing?" Emperor Jing hurriedly asked someone to help Gu Huaizhong, who pretended to be about to faint from crying, and asked someone to give him a seat.

Gu Huaizhong's wailing was originally trying to test Emperor Jing. Seeing that he had given him a seat, he had a bottom line in his heart. The kindness between himself and His Majesty was still there, so he would probably listen to his own words.

Gu Huaizhong was still wiping his tears while complaining to Emperor Jing, saying how ruthless his wife was and how unfilial his daughter was. Because her daughter accidentally offended His Royal Highness Prince An, he wanted to take his daughter to apologize to His Highness Prince An. How did he know that Liang Huaiyu was Blame him for not knowing how to take care of his daughter, quarreling with him, and finally to the point of wanting to reconcile, he went to Jing Zhaoyin's place in a hurry, but his daughter beat him in front of Jing Zhaoyin for reconciliation. . In a fit of rage, he expelled his daughter out of the house. Who knew that the rebel girl was angry and resentful, she went back and set a fire, and it seemed that Liang Huaiyu was burned to death in the fire, and now the unfilial girl fled in fear of crime.

He used an ambiguous appearance in front of His Majesty, and he knew in his heart that Liang Huaiyu was not dead. So he only said that Liang Huaiyu was probably burned to death because he disappeared after that. He grabbed the horse to chase after Gu Yuqi, which is why he ran into the sergeant who was patrolling the city.

This bitter complaint made Emperor Jing stunned. He was aloof. He only knew that Dingyuan Hou's mansion was on fire, and Dingyuan Hou took his horse out of the city overnight. How could he know that there were so many twists and turns and bizarre stories in it. Even Jingdi didn't know what to say. Yun Ke is his son, he just received news from Yun Ke that he was injured accidentally at Huguo Temple, and the injury was probably because of Gu Yuqi. A little girl can actually hurt his prince, it is estimated that Gu Yuqi has caused a lot of trouble. It's just that he is very strange. Why didn't Yun Ke say the reason for his injury? Could it be that he deliberately wanted to cover up something for Gu Yuqi?

He couldn't help but think back to Gu Yuqi, wasn't that girl the direct daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion a few years ago? Yun Yi and the prince both mentioned that girl intentionally or unintentionally in front of them, but they didn't expect that the girl was loyal and kind on the surface, but she was so rebellious in her bones. This time, Yun Ke was even more provoked. A little girl was involved with his three sons. This was something that Emperor Jing had to guard against.

On the spot, he could not wait to decree to pursue and kill Gu Yuqi with all his strength... and bring this rebellious girl back to the capital for him to "watch and pay respects". Hearing that, Gu Huaizhong's legs softened, and he immediately knelt down to His Majesty. He also asked His Majesty to read on the affection of their monarchs and ministers and turn over Gu Yuqi. After all, Gu Yuqi is still his daughter.

This time the weak legs are not fake, but the legs are really weak.

Gu Huaizhong actually wanted Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi to die now. All his shame was caused by the mother and daughter. They were already ruthless and unintentional. Why did he still have kind thoughts towards them. But killing the mother and daughter can only be done in secret. He cannot let the emperor intervene. If the emperor intervenes, many things may be exposed. He can't afford to expose it.

Emperor Jing looked at Gu Huaizhong, who was kneeling in front of him crying like a child, and felt a little unbearable in his heart. After all, it is his daughter. Emperor Jing felt that Gu Huaizhong died his wife overnight and lost his daughter. It was already very miserable. If he ordered to hunt down his girl again, would he be a little sorry for this Marquis Dingyuan? He carried it out of the pile of dead people, no matter what, people still have a life-saving grace for him, and more than once...

After thinking about it, he still sighed, comforted Gu Huaizhong with a few words, and let him go back, but because Yun Ke was injured by Gu Yuqi, he still fined Gu Huaizhong three months' salary. what.

Emperor Jing touched his slightly swollen forehead. It's not easy for him to be an emperor, right?

Gu Huaizhong left the palace and boarded the carriage of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Only then did the tears from the corners of his eyes wipe away, and his eyes were already full of chills. He deliberately smeared Gu Yuqi, he just wanted to give the world an impression first. Gu Yuqi is a woman who is ruthless and unintentional, ignoring family affection. Even if Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu know something in the future, no one will easily believe them. Of course, he wouldn't give them the chance to know something they shouldn't know.

"Someone." He said in a deep voice to the confidant who was following the car.

"Master Hou." The little servant came over and responded.

A token was handed out from the carriage, "Go and contact them, Ben Hou has something to look for." The servant took the token in his hand, responded with a sound, slapped the horse forward, and left before the carriage.
