Chapter 128： Then I'll be alone

Mu Zhiming rolled his eyes and smiled: "Since the general likes the porridge I cook, I will cook it often in the future."

Gu Heyan nodded, holding the bowl of porridge one after another, reluctant to put it down.

Mu Zhiming put a piece of shortbread in the small white porcelain plate in front of him, and said with a smile, "Don't just drink porridge."

The two of them had dinner, cleaned up the leftovers and chopsticks, and rinsed their mouths with tea. Although it was early, they were not sleepy.

Moonlight entered the house, Mu Zhiming said to Gu Heyan, "Heyan, let's take a walk and chat for a while, okay?"

"Okay." Gu Heyan replied.

The two got up, Gu Heyan didn't go out with Mu Zhiming immediately, but took out a plain white crescent cloak from the mahogany wardrobe in the wing room, put it on Mu Zhiming and fastened it carefully.

Mu Zhiming rolled his eyes, his whole body was as warm as the spring breeze in March.

The two walked to the courtyard, the moonlight was melting, the courtyard was like water and empty, Mu Zhiming asked softly: "He Yan, do you know about the prince's supervision of the country?"

Gu Heyan nodded: "Yes."

Mu Zhiming: "Why are you rushing to the Luodu Camp today?"

Gu Heyan led Wei Lingyun to the northeast, and he told Mu Zhiming succinctly that the Rongyan army was split.

It was expected that the night wind had passed, taking away the warmth that was in Mu Zhiming's chest.

After hearing what Gu Heyan said, Mu Zhiming's face turned pale.

Unsurprisingly, Prince Fu Qi really started targeting Gu Heyan and Rong Yanjun.

"He Yan." Mu Zhiming called Gu Heyan's name softly, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Gu Heyan: "What's the matter?"

The two of them were walking slowly side by side on the mossy stone slab in the courtyard, but Mu Zhiming stopped, turned to face Gu Heyan, raised his eyes slightly to look at him, and said solemnly, "Heyan, I hope Can you please return to the northwest frontier and stay away from the capital."

Hearing this, Gu Heyan looked at Mu Zhiming's bright eyes that reflected his own figure. Although he never interfered in the affairs of the state, his heart was like a mirror. From now on, even if I stay away from the capital, I can't stay away from disputes."

Mu Zhiming's tone was no longer as calm as usual, and he shouted: "Although we can't stay away, at least we don't need to face the tricks of ghosts!"

Gu Heyan was speechless.

Mu Zhiming begged: "He Yan, please return to the frontier, just for me, so that I can feel at ease in the capital, and walk this dark and treacherous road without hesitation, you believe in me, there will be a day when the mountains and rivers are gentle. , until death."

He stretched out his hand to hold Gu Heyan's hand, his fingers folded together, trembling slightly because he was too hard.

After Su Hui disappeared, Gu Heyan nodded slowly, "Okay."

The next day, Gu Heyan wrote a letter saying that he had recovered from his injury. Now there are Xirong people in the northwest frontier who are eyeing them, which should not be underestimated. Please order him to be stationed in the frontier.

Mu Zhiming thought that although the Prince Fu Qi was afraid of the Rongyan Army, he would definitely go down the **** and agree to Gu Heyan's request. Gu Heyan's body is already scarred by the people of Dajin because of Gu's loyalty and righteousness. How could he stab the hearts of the strong soldiers because of the conspiracy and stealth of the imperial court?

After all, Mu Zhiming was still wrong.

The prince did not allow Gu Heyan to lead his troops out of the capital.

Not only that, he also dispatched 30,000 local troops from the southern border to be stationed in the Luodu camp together with the 10,000 Rongyan troops.

The commander-in-chief of the local army in the southern border, Zhong Zhaofan, whose father-in-law is the uncle of the prince.

One battalion with two coaches.

The advantages and disadvantages are obvious at a glance.

After knowing that the prince would not allow Gu Heyan to leave the capital, Mu Zhiming felt more and more at a loss, as if he was in an abyss.

On this day, early in the morning, Mu Zhiming rushed to King Xian's mansion to inquire about Fu Ji'an's tea.

Fu Ji'an knew why he came, and said: "Brother Mu, now my every move is closely watched by the crown prince, and I dare not act rashly, so I haven't been able to get this tea for the time being, but don't worry, I have sent someone to send a message to The Imperial Physician is in the palace, just wait for the news."

Mu Zhiming knew that he couldn't be in a hurry now, so he nodded: "Okay."

He left King Xian's mansion and got on the carriage. Wen Heyin asked him, "Master, where are we going next?"

Mu Zhiming didn't even think about it: "General's Mansion."

Wen Heyin: "But didn't General Gu go to Luodu Camp?"

Mu Zhiming: "I'll keep the empty room alone, can't I?"

Wen Heyin: "Good guy, let's do it."

Mu Zhiming returned to the General's Mansion, knowing that Gu Heyan was not there, he still asked Wen Zhongcheng.

Wen Zhongcheng: "Mr. Mu, the young master said when he left that it will take at least half a month."

Mu Zhiming sighed.

Now that the local army in the southern border is stationed in the Luodu camp, Gu Heyan must be very busy.

Mu Zhiming guessed exactly.

Since the local army in the southern border was stationed in the Luodu camp, there have been constant conflicts with the generals of the Rongyan army. Zhong Zhaofan, the commander of the southern border army, is arrogant and authoritarian, and he has to compete with Gu Heyan for status in everything. The well-disciplined Luo is in the camp.

On this day, after the military training, Hao Tianqin, deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu of the Rongyan Army, was going to the commander's tent to ask Gu Heyan to report on today's military training.

He just left the training ground when he heard someone whispering behind a tent.

Hao Tianqin held his breath and looked sideways, seeing two soldiers of the Southern Border Army.

A tall and thin soldier said to another soldier with a disdainful face: "What is General Yulin, it's not that he has to obey our coach."

Hao Tianqin was full of vigor and blood, and his anger came up at once, and walked over a few steps: "What are you talking about? Our coach just doesn't want to cause conflicts. Tell you, don't be ashamed."

The two soldiers of the Southern Border Army were stunned for a moment, and then said contemptuously, "Huh? What? Is it possible that your Rongyan Army has the habit of listening to the corners of the wall secretly?"

Hao Tianqin glared angrily: "You!!!"

The dispute between the two attracted the onlookers of others. The Southern Border Army soldier standing next to the tall and thin soldier said: "What's the use of roaring, what's the use of being a strong mouth? The training ground is at the back, and if you have the ability to fight, whoever loses will lose. Kneel down and kowtow."

Hao Tianqin: "Just fight, I'm afraid you won't succeed! Let's go!!"

After half a column of incense, some soldiers quickly walked to the coach's tent, clasped their fists and knelt down on one knee: "Report!"

Gu Heyan was worried about military affairs and raised his head: "What's the matter?"

Soldier: "General Gu, Tianqin beat up Deputy Lieutenant Zheng of the Southern Border Army at the training ground."

Gu Heyan frowned suddenly: "What?!"

When Gu Heyan arrived at the training ground, Zhong Zhaofan, the commander of the Southern Border Army, was already there.

In the middle of the crowd, it was Hao Tianqin who was out of breath, and Deputy Zheng who covered his arms and groaned.

Gu Heyan asked, "What's going on?"

Zhong Zhaofan put his hands behind his back and sneered, "General Gu, you are so proud of your Rongyan Army soldiers. If you don't agree, you will hurt my lieutenant."

"What kind of injury!!" Some Rongyan Army soldiers couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "It's obviously a martial arts competition, but his skills are not as good as others! He still refuses to admit defeat and make things worse!"

Zhong Zhaofan squinted at the soldier, his eyes dark and sharp as a knife.

The soldiers in the southern border said, "Is it your turn to intervene when the commander speaks? Are you all so arrogant and unruly in the Rongyan Army?"

Rongyan Army soldiers: "You guys!"

Gu Heyan said sharply, "Everyone shut up."

After that, the training ground was quiet for a moment.

Gu Heyan's eyes fell on Hao Tianqin's face, seeing bruises on the corners of his mouth, he asked, "A fight?"

Hao Tianqin dared to act, and nodded his head.

"Okay, now that he has admitted it, General Gu, what would you do?" Zhong Zhaofan looked at Gu Heyan and asked in a slightly mocking tone.

Gu Heyan said, "First offense, thirty military sticks."

"Thirty Army Sticks?" Zhong Zhaofan snorted coldly, "Our Southern Border Army is punished according to the Forty Army sticks. I think that the two armies are now in the same camp, so we can't just follow the rules of your Rongyan Army."

Gu Heyan raised his eyes to look at Zhong Zhaofan, was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, forty army sticks."

Zhong Zhaofan looked a little smug, looked at Hao Tianqin and said, "Okay, bring a military stick. The perpetrator, why don't you kneel down?"

Hao Tianqin gritted his teeth. He walked up to Gu Heyan and said, "General, I am willing to take the punishment." After that, he landed on his knees, but his back was straight.

Zhong Zhaofan: "Have you brought the military stick?"

Southern Border Army soldier: "Go back to the commander-in-chief, bring it here."

When Zhong Zhaofan was about to shout 'hit', Gu Heyan suddenly said, "Wait." He slowly raised his eyes, and his majestic gaze swept across the audience and finally fell on the Deputy Lieutenant Zheng, who was holding his injured arm: "Southern Frontier Army When leading the stick, did you lead it standing up?"

Zhong Zhaofan was startled and said, "General Gu, what do you mean?"

Gu Heyan paused every word so that he could understand: "Fight, both parties will be punished."

Deputy Lieutenant Zheng panicked for a moment: "He injured my arm! You are the one who picked it up!"

Gu Heyan walked in front of Deputy Lieutenant Zheng step by step, with a terrifying suffocating aura, he ordered sharply, "Kneel down."

Deputy Captain Zheng didn't dare to say a word, he looked at Zhong Zhaofan for help, but Zhong Zhaofan turned his head and avoided his gaze.

Deputy Lieutenant Zheng lowered his head and knelt down in panic.

Gu Heyan: "Forty army sticks, hit."

One stick followed by another, and fell heavily on the backs of the two kneeling people. Hao Tianqin clenched his back molars and did not say a word, while Deputy Chief Zheng was **** and also did not say a word.

After finishing the 30 shots, Gu Heyan suddenly said, "Stop."

The executioner stopped and looked at Gu Heyan in confusion.

Gu Heyan said: "I am the commander of the Rongyan Army, I am the commander of the Rongyan Army, and I should be guilty of improper discipline. Hao Tianqin's remaining ten sticks will be punished for him."

After saying a word, there was an uproar.

"General?!" Hao Tianqin shouted, "This matter has nothing to do with you! You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Heyan stretched out his hand and pulled him up involuntarily. Gu Heyan looked at him: "Stand firmly, don't bend your knees when you don't need to bend them."

Hao Tianqin's eyes were red and he nodded.

Zhong Zhaofan looked at Gu Heyan in shock. What he never expected was that when Gu Heyan took off his robe, he actually knelt down! The dignified coach took the penalty for his subordinates.

Gu Heyan said lightly, "Fight."

The soldiers who executed the execution hesitated and did not dare to drop the stick.

Gu Heyan said sharply, "Do it."

The executioners had to continue to fight, and the stick fell on Gu Heyan's back, which was as tall as a pine and cypress, and also fell on the hearts of all the soldiers of the Rongyan Army.

On the other side, Deputy Chief Zheng received thirty sticks and then continued to receive ten sticks.

But no one cared about him, and everyone's eyes fell on Gu Heyan.

After Gu Heyan finished the ten sticks without a word, he put his hands on his knees, stood up straight, his spine did not bend half an inch, the commander of the Rongyan Army stood upright, and his words were sonorous and powerful: "Today's affairs, everyone should take this as a warning, If there are still people who are causing trouble and fighting, they will be expelled from the military camp with forty sticks.

Arrogant, why fear criticism.
