Chapter 296 Encounter (2)
"I rely on."
Zhang Yong cursed and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Ce, who was pale and stunned, wearing a black cloak and standing there in a daze.
His eyes widened and he cursed again, "Why is it you, kid? You are so bold that you dare to plot against your father. When did you arrive?"
Zhao Ce heard nothing. He shook his head blankly with a look of despair, wailing, "Why is it you? I thought it was the prince! So everything was just my guess? So I didn't even meet the prince!"
The trap was not dug deep, and Zhang Yong climbed out quickly.
He slapped Zhao Ce on the shoulder, "Are you stupid, kid? Speak!"
Zhao Ce looked up, revealing a handsome face with tears streaming down his face. He then hugged Zhang Yong's arm and sobbed, "Wuwuwu, Brother Zhang, I thought I met the prince, but it turned out to be you! I am so disappointed."
Zhang Yong rolled his eyes. "After not seeing you for a few months, don't you miss me?"
"No, I miss the prince!"
Zhao Ce was young and very talented, so Zhang Yong, Gu Wei and others treated him as their younger brother.
This child is spoiled and has an unreasonable boyish air.
Just when Zhang Yong was about to be angry to death, a cold voice sounded in the silent snow.
"You miss me that much?"
Zhao Ce and Zhang Yong turned their heads suddenly and looked around.
On a big tree not far away, a young man in white was leaning against the trunk, his wide sleeves hanging down and his chin lazily supported.
It is like a piece of snow willow in the spring light, extremely beautiful.
The moment the three people's eyes met, the young man raised his eyes and a faint curve appeared on his lips.
Zhao Ce and Zhang Yong were so excited that they could hardly breathe. They stared at Gu Wei, not daring to miss a single moment.
"Zhao Ce pinched Zhang Yong fiercely, "Brother Zhang, am I dreaming?"
"No, no. You're going to hurt me to death!"
Gu Wei jumped down from the tree trunk, tapped Zhao Ce on the forehead, and said jokingly, "You want to tease me right after we met?"
Zhao Ce finally believed that Gu Wei was real.
He quickly let go of Zhang Yong and hugged Gu Wei, but Zhang Yong was faster than him and had already occupied Gu Wei's left arm.
And made a face at him.
Zhao Ce glared like a child, "Brother Zhang, are you childish?"
Gu Wei had no choice but to put his sword aside and grabbed Zhao Ce's shoulder. "Okay, stop arguing. Let me ask you, are all the Gu family generals in Lingnan?"
When it came to business, Zhao Ce immediately lost the childishness on his face. He casually broke off a dead branch, drew a brief strategic map on the ground, and told Gu Wei about what happened along the way.
"We divided our troops into eight groups. Brother Zhang Yong and Brother Zhou Cisui brought along Madam Zun's family.
Brother Ren Pingsheng and I each led two groups... Now there are only three groups of Gu family soldiers who have not yet joined. But we have left marks along the way, so it should not be difficult for them to find this place."
Gu Wei nodded, "Okay. I am now the county magistrate of Sinan. Don't worry that the brothers will have nowhere to stay when they come. I have already prepared a place."
Zhao Ce's eyes widened. "You are the county magistrate? So those people who have been spying on us recently were sent by you? They were like dogs, we couldn't shake them off no matter how hard we tried. Fortunately, it was snowing, so we were able to follow the terrain and lead them away."
Gu Wei chuckled: "That should be the case. Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to beat you. You will have to work hard to teach them in the future."
Zhao Ce showed a look of astonishment, "I thought the soldiers of Lingnan had already developed to this point.
After a pause, he said solemnly, "Thank you very much."
Gu Wei raised his eyes and looked deeply at his good friend.
Even if it is thousands of miles away, I will go there.
It's nearly 10,000 kilometers from Mobei to Lingnan. Gu Wei knows about the wind, frost, rain and snow along the way even if they don't say it.
How lucky he is to have so many brothers and partners with whom he can get to know each other.
After saying this, Zhao Ce couldn't hold back any longer, and turned around and ran away, "Prince, I'll go call my brothers over, they really want to see you!"
Gu Wei chuckled: "Okay."
Zhang Yong also winked and said, "Sir, Madam's family has arrived. We haven't met Madam yet."
Gu Wei's eyes were filled with tenderness, "You will see her soon. She is the best girl in the world."
Zhang Yong clicked his tongue twice, "I thought you would be alone for the rest of your life. I'll go and get them."
Fortunately, the sun gradually emerged from behind the clouds, the forest became bright, the sky was bright and beautiful, and the scenery was beautiful.
Gu Wei stood in the vast snowfield, holding a sword, watching the sunlight getting brighter and brighter, shining on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.
A shadow suddenly fell on the empty snowy ground.
Gu Wei raised his head.
Hundreds of Gu family generals knelt on the ground before him and performed the most solemn ceremony of a soldier.
"Meet the General!"
The men's calls shook the sky and lingered in the air, like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, lingering for a long time.
Before Gu Wei could reply, the same call came from behind.
Zhou Cisui and Zhang Yong stood at the front, their eyes burning, almost shedding tears.
They had been looking forward to this scene for a long time and thought they would never see it again in this life.
All the generals of the Gu family think the same way.
They stared at Gu Wei, staring at their only light and guidance. This was their only faith in this chaotic world.
The sun emerged completely from the clouds, its brilliant light illuminating every young man's eyes and making their hearts burn with heat.
Gu Wei looked at this group of dusty young people.
Some of them were wearing cloth clothes, while others were dressed as peddlers, which showed how difficult the journey to Lingnan was.
Gu Wei took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Brothers, please stand up!"
After pacifying the soldiers, Gu Wei hurried to ask Zhou Ci Sui.
"Ci Sui, where are my mother-in-law and uncles?"
Zhou Cisui pointed to the official road not far away.
"I thought the general might have something confidential to tell them, so I temporarily placed them there. With soldiers guarding them, I think nothing will happen."
Gu Wei nodded, "Okay. Ci Sui's mind is still as delicate as ever."
Then, Gu Wei briefly told Zhou Ci Sui how he came to Lingnan and what happened in Lingnan.
Of course, Xie Ling's space was skipped and only her outstanding medical skills were mentioned.
The more Zhou Ci Sui listened to Sinan's policies and governance, the more he listened, the more shocked he became. His heart was beating fast, and four words emerged in his mind.
Destiny.
How can such a perfect policy be implemented only in a small county?
A reasonable and bold ambition emerged in Zhou Ci Sui's mind. He stared at Gu Wei with burning eyes, and his heart beat faster and faster.
Zhou Cisui tightly grasped the folding fan in his hand, restrained his breathing, and said slowly: "Sir, are you going to... compete for the throne?"
Gu Wei's mind flashed with the image of Xie Ling. Thinking of the girl's hopeful words, "It would be great if the whole world could become as peaceful and prosperous as Sinan's," he narrowed his eyes and answered Zhou Ci Sui solemnly.
"Yes. Duke Zhou, are you willing to accompany me?"
Zhou Cisui clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, "Zhou Cisui will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
He felt an uncontrollable warmth rising in his heart.
If Gu Wei really goes to that step, then he, Zhou Ci Sui, will be remembered in history and his family will be changed!
He had never thought of such a great achievement before.
But now, looking at this brilliant and calm young man in front of me.
Zhou Cisui felt that they would definitely be able to reach the final step and look down upon the world.
This was the courage that Gu Wei gave him.
Gu Wei still had some questions about the Gu family generals, so he went to talk to the soldiers.
Zhou Ci Sui hurried over and translated Gu Wei's words into the simplest and clearest way and told Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yonghu's eyes widened and he punched the big tree next to him.
"Fuck! Damn it! Our prince has extraordinary talent and should not be confined to Beijiang! I, Zhang Yong, will do anything for him!"
Zhao Ce heard this and leaned over. After hearing it clearly, the handsome face of the young man turned red. "I, Zhao Ce, swear to follow you till death! I believe in you, Prince!"
The three of them had never thought that there could be such a way to live life, and they were all filled with excitement and passion.
Zhang Yong laughed loudly: "I want to cancel the heavy taxes! Damn it, with such heavy taxes, the people can't even grow enough food to eat, and they have to hand it over!"
Zhou Cisui's eyes flashed with a dark light, "I want to rectify this bureaucracy where officials protect each other. How many talented people have been buried by those pedantic people, and how many people have regretted their lives because of those old-fashioned treaties."
Zhao Ce propped up his chin and said, "I just want everyone to have enough to eat. Along the way, I saw too many victims starving to death, some even to the point of eating their own children..."
Gu Wei watched from afar with a smile in his eyes.
This is an era of chaos and sorrow, but also an era of great changes and the emergence of talented people.
The young men stepped forward, with bright wildfires burning in their chests, vowing to burn away all the injustice in this world.
the other side.
When staying with the An family, Zhou Cisui took extremely strict precautions, hiring soldiers to guard the place and giving instructions. However, the group had been out of his sight for less than half an hour when something bad happened.
