Chapter 138: Help the people save the people from the fire and water, and hope to relieve the surnam
"Second uncle, I want to go with His Highness."
Gu Chengfeng thought he heard wrongly.
"What did you say?"
Gu Wangshu repeated it again in an extremely firm tone.
"I want to go on an expedition with His Highness."
Gu Chengfeng's newly raised hope collapsed at this moment, and his eyes were harsher than ever before.
"The military does not tolerate women."
"I can dress up as a man."
"Nonsense! Xiao Shu, do you know what you are talking about? His Highness is leading troops to fight, not to play."
"It's because I know that I'm going." Gu Wangshu could no longer accept that Helian Kingdom was destroyed by Nalan.
One such experience is enough for her to remember for three lifetimes.
She knew in her heart that He Lianhuan was unparalleled in resourcefulness and no one could match him.
But the blood lessons from her previous life made her dare not take it lightly.
One more person, more effort.
If He Lianhuan was unable to escape, she could still take charge of him.
With this idea, Gu Wangshu had to go.
But Gu Chengfeng firmly disagreed, and his attitude was tougher than ever.
"It's very inconvenient for a girl like you to mix with military officers. Xiao Shu is obedient and stays at home. The second prince is so smart, he will definitely defeat the enemy successfully."
Gu Wangshu couldn't rest assured, she was the only one who knew how miserable the Helian Kingdom was when it was defeated.
"Second uncle, I must go."
Gu Chengfeng frowned: "Stop making trouble."
"I'm not making trouble, Second Uncle, I am serious, more serious than ever."
"Xiao Shu, be obedient."
"Second uncle, I have made up my mind."
"Gu Wangshu!" Gu Chengfeng's eyes turned red. "Why are you kid getting more and more persuasive? If I say you're not allowed to go, you're not allowed to go."
"Don't think that you understand everything after reading a few military books. The battlefield is blazing with flames and killings are rampant. Many people die every day. The blood is everywhere. Do you know what it feels like to be in it?"
"Do you know what it feels like to watch your soldiers beheaded and blood splattered three feet away?"
"Have you ever seen what it looked like when soldiers' hands and feet were cut off?"
"Can you bear to have your own men stabbed in the stomach and still persist in fighting the enemy bravely?"
"You don't know anything, and you are going to the battlefield just because of your enthusiasm. The battlefield is not a place to play house, it is a place where you and I live and die!"
As he spoke, Gu Chengfeng's eyes became scarleter.
He pointed to his legs: "Second uncle is not afraid of losing his legs, but second uncle is afraid of losing you."
"You were the best and most obedient before. This time you will listen to your second uncle. Don't go anywhere, just stay at home, okay?"
Gu Wangshu could no longer maintain his emotions.
Since her rebirth, she has always been calm. She knows that only by being calm can she be sober.
But when faced with her second uncle's questioning, her emotions were like a flood that burst a dam, overwhelming her.
The second uncle thought she had never seen the scene he described.
However, what she had seen was far more bloody and terrifying than what her second uncle had told her.
She once watched with her own eyes as her second uncle was disemboweled, his entrails were fed to wild dogs, and his body was hung upside down on a large banner on the roof of Yong'an City to dry and be displayed to the public.
I have also seen my grandfather die with thousands of arrows piercing his heart in order to retrieve his second uncle's body.
I even saw my uncle and brothers returning to Kyoto for revenge, only to be shot and chopped into pieces.
As long as these images appeared in front of her, her tears would flow uncontrollably.
She was afraid that history would repeat itself, that Helian would destroy the country, and even more afraid that she would never have a chance to be resurrected after her death.
So she wanted to follow Helianhuan, and wanted to see Nalan's army defeated and pulled out of Helian before she could feel at ease.
When Gu Chengfeng saw her crying, he thought it was the bloody scene he painted that scared Gu Wangshu, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.
He took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped her tears.
"Do you now know that war is dangerous?"
Gu Wangshu wanted to speak, but his throat felt like a ball of cotton was blocked, and he couldn't say anything, only choked with sobs.
Her family loved her so much, so how could they allow her to participate in the war?
"Stop crying." Gu Chengfeng comforted softly.
Tears blurred his vision, and he couldn't even see clearly the second uncle who was so close.
Gu Wangshu tried hard to control himself, and it took him a long time to hold back his tears.
Gu Chengfeng thought that Gu Wangshu had given up the idea, but he didn't know that Gu Wangshu had secretly made up his mind.
After returning to Qinxinyuan, Gu Wangshu ate in silence and then lay down on the bed.
The war situation is urgent. Nalan Kingdom has captured five cities in fifteen days and will definitely pursue the victory.
In order to prevent more cities from falling, His Highness will not stay in Yong'an for too long and will most likely set off tomorrow morning.
The second uncle did not agree with her joining the army, and He Lianhuan would certainly not agree either.
For the current plan, she could only secretly leave the house, set off early, and wait for His Highness the Second Highness and others on the road they must pass. In this way, the Second Highness would not drive her away.
After Gu Wangshu made his plan, he called Qiuchi and whispered a few words in her ear.
Qiu Chi's pupils dilated in shock after hearing this.
"S-Miss, this is too dangerous."
Gu Wangshu grabbed Qiu Chi's hands: "Do you believe me?"
Qiuchi nodded. Her young lady was extremely intelligent, and she had always believed it.
"Since you believe me, just do as I say."
"But......"
"It's okay. If you don't want to follow me, I can go alone."
When Qiu Chi heard this, his little head shook like a rattle.
"Slave follow the lady, slave follow the lady."
"Okay, then you do what I say immediately."
Qiu Chi had no choice but to do as he was told.
She found an excuse to go out and went straight to Yu Quan's restaurant.
Yu Quan's business is getting better and better, and the business is booming. He can't handle it alone, so he specially hired a cook.
It was just after dinner time when Qiuchi arrived, so it wasn't that busy.
When Yu Quan saw Qiu Chi, his eyes lit up and he asked about the purpose of his visit. Only then did he learn that Qiu Chi wanted Yu Quan to prepare a carriage for her young lady.
The reason why Gu Wangshu let Yu Quan prepare instead of driving his own carriage was because he was afraid that his second uncle would find him and make it difficult to escape.
When Yu Quan heard that he was doing something for the Gu family, he didn't ask any questions and patted his chest and promised that it would be done.
Qiu Chi also told him to prepare bedding on the carriage to keep out the cold, as well as dry food, men's clothing, etc., and Yu Quan agreed to them all.
When Qiu Chi returned home, he found that Gu Wangshu had already fallen asleep, recharging his energy for sneaking out of the house at night.
It was dark in a blink of an eye.
Gu Wangshu woke up, went to the study, wrote a letter, and put it on the table in his dormitory.
After packing everything, Gu Wangshu took Qiuchi and sneaked out through the back door of the General's Mansion under the cover of night.
The two people successfully found Yu Quan, exchanged a few brief greetings, then took a carriage and left Yong'an City before the city gate closed.
After a night of running wildly, Yong'an City was left far behind.
When the horses are tired from running, they stop to rest.
The master and servant had already put on men's clothes, lay in the carriage and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I heard the sound of horse hooves in my ears.
