MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 36

It took half a month for Gu Jiusi to get better. And these days, they heard the passing people say that the king of Liang had rebelled.

Liu Yuru goes out every day to inquire about news, and buys medicine for Gu Jiusi by the way. Because of King Liang's rebellion, the price of goods began to soar. On the day the grain store raised the price, Liu Yuru rushed to sell the grain. On that day, people were crowded with people, and everyone squeezed in like crazy. Liu Yuru was so small that her hair was messed up. I didn't even get in.

She finally squeezed in, but was told that it was all over.

She knew that if she couldn't get it today, it would only be more difficult to get it later, so she hurried to the second store, put aside all restraint, pushed me with people, and finally squeezed When she went in, the older woman cursed her, and she pretended not to hear. She just held the silver in her hand and said to the little brother who was selling grain in front of her, "I want ten buckets of rice, and noodles will do!"

"Oh, ma'am, I'm sorry," the little brother said with a smile, "Now one person can only buy one bucket at most."

"Then a fight!"

Liu Yuru broke open. When she got the rice noodles, she ran around all the grain merchants in the city that day, and finally came back with three buckets of noodles.

When she came back, her clothes were all crowded, Gu Jiusi looked at her appearance, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Liu Yuru combed her hair with her hands and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, the grain merchants raised the price today, I'll go grab grain with them."

Speaking, she lifted the bag in her hand and said happily: "I grabbed three bags of grain, which is amazing."

Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, but he sighed, but said, "It seems that King Liang is approaching Huainan."

"He won't go to Huainan." Liu Yuru said directly, "His goal is the Eastern Capital. It's good to go all the way from his fief to the Eastern Capital. Huainan will not suffer."

"But the people will." Gu Jiusi's tone was a little worried, "When the people suffer, there will naturally be a large number of refugees heading to places where there is no war. Huainan is the first choice."

Liu Yuru didn't speak, Gu Jiusi couldn't wait any longer, and said, "I'm much better now. If there is no news from Ye Shian tomorrow, I'll go to Yangzhou City to find out the news in person."

Liu Yuru knew she couldn't stop him, she sighed and nodded: "I'll go with you then."

The two negotiated, but that night, Ye Shian returned from Yangzhou City. He brought a lot of supplies and looked a little tired

Now, let's get on the road now."

"My dad..."

Gu Jiusi didn't finish his words, Ye Shian raised his hand to stop his voice, he looked at him quietly, and calmly said: "I went to ask, the day you left, Gu's Qianzhuang The fire, and then a body was brought out, judging from what he was wearing and the results of the coroner..."

Ye Shian paused, and finally said, "It should be your father."

Hearing this, Gu Jiusi swayed slightly, Liu Yuru hugged him, and immediately said, "Are you sure?!"

"It's burned beyond human form." Ye Shian shook his head, "I can only recite it, I don't dare to say more."

"Secret passage..."

Gu Jiusi's voice was dry: "The exit of the secret road... at the bank..."

On that day, Wang Shanquan had sent people to search all the properties of the Gu family.

Everyone was speechless, Gu Jiusi was trembling, he held Liu Yuru tightly, trying to keep himself from crying.

"Then," Liu Yuru tried to calm herself down, "Where is the corpse now?"

"I sent someone to Yizhuang to find out... it's already burnt."

Gu Jiusi's face turned pale, Ye Shian saw his emotions, he pursed his lips, and said slowly: "Brother Gu, now is not the time to be sad, King Liang rebelled, and Wang Shanquan has already begun to court. All the wealthy businessmen in the city have to donate food and money according to the proportion, and all the heads of the family are detained in the Wang family mansion. The families listed in the royal family register must be notified when entering and leaving. I also came out in the name of checking the business. , My father is still in the city of Yangzhou, and I will go back soon. You are going to Youzhou, so hurry up now, and when the current situation is chaotic again, the longer you drag on, the harder it will be to leave. "

"I understand." Liu Yuru took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Brother Ye, thank you, we will leave tomorrow."

"Where is Yang Wenchang? Where is Chen Xun?"

Gu Jiusi spoke suddenly, he seemed to dare not ask, but he had to ask, he looked at Ye Shian with hope in his eyes.

"On the night of the Gu family's death, the Yang and Chen family fled overnight, and the Chen Xun family left, only Yang Wenchang ran out with his mother in the Yang family, and Wang Shanquan asked the Yang family to hand over Yang Wenchang. "

"Hand over it..." Gu Jiusi's voice was dry, "What..."

"They said that Yang Wenchang was too involved with the Gu family, fled overnight, and was regarded as a traitor." Ye Shian lowered his eyes, Liu Yuru said angrily: "They say that a traitor is a traitor, Do they still have Wang Fa in their eyes?!"

"Where is the king's law they want?" Ye Shian smiled wryly, "They want to kill the chickens and show the monkeys, and let the rest of us see the fate of fleeing."

"Then he," Gu Jiusi didn't dare to ask, but asked anyway, "What about now?"

Ye Shian was silent, Gu Jiusi raised his head slowly, he grabbed Liu Yuru tightly, with tears in his eyes: "Where is he now?"

"Wang Shanquan used the Yang family to blackmail him, and he came back."

Ye Shian said with difficulty: "Tomorrow at noon, execution will be carried out at Caishikou."

Gu Jiusi's face paled, he nodded, but said: "I know..."

He said, turned around, and said with difficulty: "You guys talk, I'm a little tired, I'll go to rest for a while."

He seems really tired.

He even staggered up the stairs of the courtyard with only two floors. Liu Yuru hurriedly wanted to help him, but he waved his hand.

He turned his back to Liu Yuru and said restrainedly: "Nothing..."

"I'm fine..." He didn't know whether to tell himself or Liu Yuru, "I can hold on, I'm fine."

He said, propped himself up again and walked into the room.

Ye Shian looked at Gu Jiusi, then at Liu Yuru, pursed her lips and said, "Yuru, I know it's not easy to accept, but you don't have time to think so much, so persuade him , hurry up tomorrow. The later you delay, the greater the variable."

"What about you?" Liu Yuru looked up at him, worried. Ye Shian smiled: "Wang Shanquan wants to hire people now. He sent people to win over the Ye family. What choice do I have?"

"Duckweed in troubled times, choose a tree to perch on, and survive, it's not bad."

"Brother Ye..." Hearing this, Liu Yuru didn't know why, but her nose suddenly became sour. She felt as if she was back when she was young, standing in front of this young man. She was hoarse, gave a respectful salute, and said hoarsely, "Take care of it."

"I understand." Ye Shian smiled, he looked at Liu Yuru, after a long time, he said gently, "Actually, I always thought I would marry you, but only then did I realize that in this life, Probably life."

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, Ye Shian took a step back, stretched out his sleeves and bowed, and said seriously, "Sister Yuru, see you by fate."

After finishing speaking, Ye Shian turned around neatly, went out the door, and rode away.

Liu Yuru stood in the courtyard for a moment, she calmed down, then turned around and walked into the room.

There was no light in the room. She didn't see Gu Jiusi, but she heard his breathing. She followed the moonlight and walked in, and saw him.

Gu Jiusi was sitting beside the bed, he curled up, hugged himself, gritted his teeth, trembled, and didn't say a word.

He cried uncontrollably, his tears and snot mixed together, but he made no sound.

Liu Yuru walked in front of him, Gu Jiusi was holding himself, he seemed to know what Liu Yuru was going to say, he sniffed and his teeth chattered: "I'm fine, you don't need to say anything, I It's alright, I'm really alright..."

"We will go to Youzhou tomorrow, we will not delay, my mother is still waiting for me, you also want me to send it back, I am fine, fine..."

Liu Yuru didn't say a word, she just stood in the dark, watching this person quietly, after a long time, she squatted down, opened her arms, and hugged him gently.

Gu Jiusi was stunned for a moment, he froze in her arms, and he heard her say, "Cry."

Gu Jiusi didn't speak, Liu Yuru hugged him tightly and whispered, "I'm here, I don't laugh at you."

Gu Jiusi was silent, and Liu Yuru hugged him quietly, feeling that his tears fell through her clothes and fell on her shoulders.

"I keep calling him a bad old man..."

"Hmm."

"I didn't call him Dad properly."

"I know."

"I always think he's bad, I think he hits me, I think he doesn't care about me, he doesn't understand me. I hate him so much, I've been mad at him, I've been against him..."

"But I regret it..."

Gu Jiusi cried out: "I regret it, I should treat him better, I shouldn't always be angry with him."

"He always wants me to study and get a good name, always think that I should have a better future, he is doing it for my own good, he is afraid that one day, one day I will fall into the field like today..."

Gu Jiusi was out of breath, he leaned against her arms and wailed: "What's the use of me? What's the use of me?! I can't protect anyone, I can't. Live him, I can't protect Yang Wenchang, my father, my brother, I can't protect anyone!"

"I'm pretentious, I think the whole world is drunk and I'm awake alone, now the wind and rain are coming, now, there is only a mere Wang Shanquan!" Gu Jiusi gasped, scolded, shouted angrily, "Just mere A Jiedu envoy can ignore the law of the king, bully me and humiliate me and cause me to come this far, make me flee with my family, lose my father and right, and make me so embarrassed."

Gu Jiusi closed her eyes in pain, and fell into Liu Yuru's arms. Liu Yuru didn't say a word, she just hugged him tightly, put her head against his neck, and listened to his heart-piercing voice. Crying, not saying a word.

"I hurt him..." Gu Jiusi burst into tears, "I hurt him..."

"No, Jiusi," Liu Yuru said, she hugged him tightly and gritted her teeth, "It wasn't you who killed him. It was Wang Shanquan, Your Majesty, and Liang who harmed him. King, these chaotic times, these people will do anything for their own rights, and treat the common people as ants."

"You did nothing wrong."

Liu Yuru sniffed: "It's them who are wrong, it's them who should be punished, you can't take their faults on yourself, and punishing yourself doesn't work."

Gu Jiusi couldn't hear him, he held his head and leaned to the ground, crying uncontrollably, Liu Yuru sniffed, she went to help him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Jusi, get up ."

Gu Jiusi didn't move, she went to pull him, but he didn't seem to hear it, he was immersed in his own world, he held his head and curled up, looking cowardly and embarrassed.

How has Liu Yuru ever seen him like this?

Gu Jiusi in her memory is always bright and proud, but reality polishes him, wastes him, and tries to destroy him.

Liu Yuru was a little sour, she turned her head away, dared not look at him, and said hoarsely, "Get up."

Gu Jiusi didn't move, Liu Yuru finally couldn't bear it anymore, she turned back suddenly and shouted angrily: "Get up!"
