MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 15 The emperor and his daughter (14)

==============================

In an instant, only Madam Zuo was left in the hall. She sat on her knees with a pale face, nervously stirring the jinpa in her hand, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

Everything that happened tonight was indeed a bit beyond the limit of what she could bear.

"Don't worry ma'am."

Ling Yan walked to her side and gently placed her hand wrapped in gauze on her shoulder.

Mrs. Zuo's trembling body suddenly froze, she even held her breath in horror, as if Ling Yan would twist her neck in the next second.

"When Lord Zuo comes back, you can go home. Although the house was burnt down, most of the people are fine, so it's good luck. Keeping the green hills is not afraid of running out of firewood, madam. "

Ling Yan patted lightly, then withdrew her hand and walked to Gu Zhong who was squinting and dozing.

After a cup of tea, Zuo Yingyuan still did not come back, nor did the two sergeants who went with him.

Ling Yan had a bad premonition in her heart, she glanced at the tired Gu Zhong, quietly walked down the steps, and whispered to the soldiers guarding the door:

"You take a group of people to look for Zuo Yingyuan around the house, remember not to scatter, if you can't find it, report back and forth, and don't make a statement."

The soldiers led the way, and there were fewer and fewer people in the hall.

"Sir!"

Gu Zhong, who was at the top, suddenly exclaimed, Ling Yan hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Gu Zhong looking at her with a shocked expression.

"Your Highness?

Ling Yan hurried to her side and looked at Yandada's little highness.

"Nothing, what time is it?"

Gu Zhong waved his hand and stood up while supporting the table.

"The time for a cup of tea has just passed. Your Highness can rest for a while."

"Zuo Yingyuan hasn't come back yet?" Gu Zhong frowned.

"Send someone to look for it."

"Report! Your Highness! Your Excellency! Something happened!"

It was another cry, and the voice arrived before anyone arrived.

Gu Zhong patted her head, she doesn't want to hear the word "report" again today, it's not good every time.

The corpses of Zuo Yingyuan and the two accompanying soldiers were found in the garden of the backyard of the county governor. The strange thing is that Zuo Yingyuan's head was taken away.

Someone sneaked into the tightly surrounded mansion in this short period of time and killed three people without disturbing anyone.

Or, the assassin was already lurking in this line of troops, taking advantage of the big guy's slack, and he hit it.

Just kill and kill, why take away the Zuoying head of state? This is a really baffling question.

So the next task of the soldiers in the house became to find the head. Gu Zhong ordered to go to the city and called a team of troops, and even searched the deep well in the courtyard, but could not find it. The missing corpse head.

"Xu was taken away. Your Highness, ask someone to check the book of soldiers who came with the army this time. After counting the casualties, there may be people who cannot testify."

Ling Yan suggested that if the assassin is really a hidden spy in the army, there are clues that can be traced. If it is people who come in while chaos, I am afraid that the ends of the earth will not be able to turn around.

"Good." Gu Zhong immediately arranged for someone to investigate, but the work was extremely huge, and it would take a few days.

"As for Mrs. Zuo..." Ling Yan glanced at Mrs. Zuo, who was frightened and fainted when she saw her husband's body, "Take her to reunite with her family."

"Look carefully, I don't want to hear tomorrow that there is no one else in the Zuo family." Gu Zhong glanced coldly at everyone present and left the county governor's mansion.

The two set foot on the streets of Beiling County again. The sound of fighting that had resounded in the streets and alleys had disappeared. A group of soldiers lined up with torches and knocked on the closed door in the city. Search for barbarians who may be hiding.

The corpse collector took care of the young men who fell on the battlefield and could no longer get up, and hung the peach wood plaque with their names engraved on the waist in front of the book, and then covered it The white cloth was carried away one by one.

"Sir, there are so many people..."

Walking on the street, Gu Zhong's words were filled with inseparable sadness and indignation.

"In the past, the casualty figures in the military newspapers were just a series of numbers, used to judge the strength gap between the enemy and us, formulate combat strategies, and supply food, grass and weapons. Now, they have become A living person died in front of Gu. In just one night, the battle was so tragic."

Violent impact.

"Your Highness..." Ling Yan turned her head to the side that briefly exposed all her fragile concerns, and gently hugged her shoulders, "If it's uncomfortable, I'll let you lean on it."

"Sir..."

The corners of her lips rose slightly, and a warm smile suddenly appeared.

"As long as Mr. is there..."

"I will always accompany Your Highness..."

I wanted to climb up to the corner of Gu Zhong's eyes and capture the gleam in the eyes, but I was too shy to overstep it.

The hand wrapped in **** gauze finally fell on her shoulders, and she sincerely and firmly said that listening to her was the most sincere wish in her heart.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much, it's fine... Wait until tonight is over... Eh? Your Highness?"

The warmth came from the part being held, and a strange satisfaction rose from the bottom of my heart.

"There is no big deal tonight, Mr. Lonely changed his medicine!"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged by the little highness and strode forward.

Back to pure white.

Completely broken.

The North Border Army has returned to the North Border Pass, as before, year after year, day after day, guarding the country gate, and the sound of fighting reverberates outside the pass day by day.

The calamity of the barbarians has been resolved, the cold winter has gradually subsided, and the situation of the entire Beiling is much better than before.

So Gu Zhong and Wei Wuhou took stock of the remaining Gyeonggi guards, and took those aristocratic families who had lost the foundation of their houses back to Xijing.

It's just that Ling Yan made a book with the soldiers and soldiers on the day that Ling Yan had previously checked.

The assassin most likely killed one of the sergeants, then disguised himself and infiltrated the mansion.

So much painstaking effort, just to kill a Zuo Yingyuan, but also confirmed from the side, this Zuo family really has a big problem.

The clues to Zuo Yingyuan's death were completely disconnected, and the assassination could not be pursued for the time being, casting an indelible shadow on the joy of returning to Beijing.

When passing through Luyi, those wealthy clans were handed over to Luyi County Governor, and Gu Zhong only continued to take the Zuo clan to the south.

She intuition, from Zuojia, can pick out more information about the previous dynasty.

However, externally, Gu Zhong euphemistically said that it is difficult for non-Xijing to accommodate the loyal family members of the Zuo family, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Zuo family was banned by the concubine.

After returning to Beijing, due to her trip to the north of the city, she was able to defeat the barbarians and help in disaster relief. Gold and silver, exempt their clan from corvée for three years.

The edict to replace Beiling County officials was also issued, and the new officials set off for Beiling in a few days.

And those wealthy clans who were unable to penetrate because of the Zuo clan and other aristocratic families before, were like hyenas smelling meat, eager to divide the now uncontrolled Beiling County.

Although Gu Zhong is not happy, but Beiling County needs to be rebuilt and developed, and the national treasury is unsustainable, and this can only be achieved by these rich families.

The affairs of the northern realm were fully understood by all the ministers, and what Gu Zhong could do was already the limit.

But there are still people who criticize her for not investigating the barbarian tactics, letting the enemy bandits enter the customs, and slamming her for her hooliganism towards the Beiling family, disregarding the people's livelihood.

However, this time, it may have been too much anger in Beiling. At this time, Gu Zhong spontaneously mastered the skill of turning a deaf ear, and some verbal provocations could hardly provoke her.

Sometimes anger is really unnecessary, and it doesn't need to be shown to others. At this time, she really understood what "to like and dislike" is.

Daughter Gayin only smiled on the steps, without showing any anger, it became difficult to guess, but the number of people who accompanied her was much less than before.

Gu Di coldly glanced at the man whose Highness was still scolding Gu Zhong in a eloquent manner, and impatiently let someone gag his mouth and send it directly to the southern border to experience the poisonous miasma, sober and sober own brain.

In the past, those who participated in Gu Zhong's performance were only small matters, and Gu Di ignored them, but it contributed to the arrogance of these censors.

After Gu Di did this, the voices in the court became extremely unified in an instant, and they all began to praise Gu Zhongzhuo, brave, benevolent, and thoughtful.

However, what Emperor Gu announced next shocked Gu Da and exceeded Ling Yan's expectations.

He did not discuss with Gu Zhong at all, and directly issued the decree of choosing a husband for her.
