Chapter 37 Choose...

In fact, Gu Huaiyang had already turned off the lights and lay down. He was half asleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door.

He rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and sat up. He didn't know who came to him in the middle of the night. He didn't seem to be in a hurry when he heard the knock on the door, and it didn't seem like there was something burning his eyebrows that had to be said in the middle of the night.

When he opened the door, he saw Shi Wuyuan standing there with his head down, his face very ugly, holding his ghostly astrolabe in his hand, but he was like a frosted eggplant, standing precariously in the dark night. Inside, as if he was ready to throw himself on the ground at any time, for a moment, Gu Huaiyang thought he was asleep and dreaming of hysteria, and was wandering around unconsciously.

After a long while, Shi Wuyuan's eyes turned blankly, and he whispered like a normal living creature, "Big brother."

"What's wrong?" Gu Huaiyang asked in confusion.

Shi Wuyuan's usual eloquent beak suddenly became mute, sticking there like a wooden stick, without saying a word. Gu Huaiyang didn't know why, and he couldn't tell him to stand outside in the cold wind, so he waved him in, and Shi Wuyuan followed him honestly.

Gu Huaiyang said again: "Sit down."

He sat down flat, like a puppet with moving joints.

Gu Huaiyang had been lying down for a while. There was no hot water in the room, nor did he entertain him, so he asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

Shi Wuyuan raised his head and stared straight at the tea cup on the table, his eyes made Gu Huaiyang a little jittery, but he felt that the tea cup was about to make him want to wear it. Gu Huaiyang saw that Shi Wuyuan was not normal, and smelled the alcohol on his body, thinking that he was drunk, and stared at Shi Wuyuan for a while under the dim candlelight, he finally couldn't help but stretch out a He poked Shi Wuyuan with a finger and asked, "You... do you still know who I am?"

Shi Wuyuan said, "Big brother."

Oh, this is still recognizing people - Gu Huaiyang judged and asked, "Are you drunk?"

Shi Wuyuan paused, nodded slowly, and said, "A little bit above."

Still awake, so what happened?

Gu Huaiyang looked at him suspiciously. He had known Shi Wuyuan for a few years. He knew in his heart that this young man looked dumb, as if nothing had grown in his head, but in fact, except when he was eating, Emotions have always been quite restrained.

He can always keep an irritating blankness on his face, but they know that he is not really confused.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Huaiyang didn't speak either, and turned on the lantern to make the flame a little bigger, then turned his head to yawn, and sat patiently with him.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Wuyuan unconsciously curled his fingers flat on the table and clenched them into a fist. He suddenly opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Gu Huaiyang couldn't help but poked his head and asked: " what?"

Then Gu Huaiyang heard it clearly, and what he said was: "I'm right."

At that moment, Gu Huaiyang even felt that he was showing a little anger, just like his real age - he didn't hide and suppress too much, what he thought, his face showed something, like a young man with a little bit of unwillingness. .

After a while, he heard Shi Wuyuan repeat word by word: "I'm right."

Gu Huaiyang was stunned for a while. He was stunned for a while, when a small wind rolled in through the crack of the door that was not closed, and shook the candle flame.

Shi Wuyuan shuddered and came back to his senses, his eyes moved, a ray of light flashed quickly, and then he immediately returned to calm.

Then he stood up from his original position, and said softly in his usual, slower-than-average voice, "I was drunk and lost my temper, which delayed my brother's rest."

This is a complete awakening, Gu Huaiyang thought with some pity, and he said: "Liu Liu, remember what the big brother said when we just married? We are all family. Look, the fifth is a bào temper. , every time something goes wrong, I have to make a noise with you. You should be like him, if you have something to think about, when you are unhappy, just tell the elder brother, can I let you call me brother for nothing? "

Shi Wuyuan agreed: "Yes."

Gu Huaiyang saw that he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He clearly didn't want to say anything, so he could only sigh and say, "You have been working hard these days. Go back and rest early." - This stinky boy, still Three kicks can't get a fart.

It wasn't until a long time later that Gu Huaiyang recalled the three words "I'm not wrong" that he heard from Shi Wuduan's mouth on that cold night, and then he suddenly realized that they were Xiao Liu, Bai Li, Yan Zhen, and even those who died. , or those who haven't left, are actually trapped on the altar that sounds like this sentence in Ki language, no one can get down, and no one can move.

Over time, these three words seem to have become a huge patch on their souls. Once they are removed, the souls of these individuals will all look the same - leaking.

Early the next morning, Gu Huaiyang was a little worried and specially called someone to see what happened to Shi Wuyuan, but the person came back after a while to report, saying that he took his friend who lived in the yard out in the morning. He said he was queuing up to buy rabbit cakes in the south of the city, and he also kidnapped Lu Yunzhou's youngest daughter, Lu Lu. Brother Lu couldn't find the child and was sharpening his knife.

This is good again - so General Gu, who has just taken office, is brisk and lighthearted about what to do.

The decrees of the court came down one by one. Since they were recruited and paid for the army, they had to do things for them, at least to maintain the safety of one party. They were usually fine, and they often received orders to suppress a bandit around Haining and clean up some rogues, etc. task.

Now that the Red Turbans have hardened their wings, they no longer need to curry favor with the bandits in the mountains. They have changed their minds and started a business of robbing the bandits to clean the mountains. Brother Lu and Meng Zhongyong are responsible for killing one and the other for robbing and robbing things. After being inspected by General Gu, he was assigned to Shi Wuyuan in a unified manner, and he took full advantage of the warlord.

It is Li Rushuang's task to clean up the robbers. Li Siniang is also very gentle with those who are willing to submit Whether it is a seventy-year-old mother or a young child, she will be guaranteed in the future. Li Siniang also has a special ability to deal with those who are disobedient and insist on seeking death. In fact, she has only two specialties in her life. One is that she is particularly good at cooking. , one is especially able to cut people.

Shi Wuyuan shouldered the things of bullying, bribing, and opening up joints.

Gu Huaiyang and the others settled down in Haining like this, and they acted conscientiously as "local officials" as if they wanted to live for a long time. After a long time, Bai Li began to suspect that the conversation between Shi Wuyuan and Gu Huaiyang, which he saw through the water mirror that day, had misunderstood something, should the rebels be so calm?

He also found that although Shi Wuyuan was still busy all day long, when he came back every day, as long as he saw that the lights had not been turned off, he would have to talk to him and have a drink and a half. Occasionally when he is free, he will take him out for a while.

Haining is not a big place, but there are a lot of places to go. Right now, it belongs to Gu Huaiyang. It is as close to Guji City and as far away as Changpu, Anqing. If you have a fast horse, you can go back and forth in a day or two.

Shi Wuyuan didn't seem to remember what he saw or said that night. He walked around Haining with Bai Li without any hesitation, sometimes the two of them, sometimes with Xiao Lu Lu and Xia Duanfang. Big and small apprentices.

It took more than half a month for the young apprentices from Sect Master Xia to be picked up. It can be seen that Pope Heji Theravada, who is the only remaining fruit, is really at the end of the road. Shi Wuyuan took a look. The elder is only thirteen or fourteen, and he looks like he was raised in the mountains and has never seen the world.

With such a downfall and no successor, it is no wonder that Xia Duanfang was stubborn and looked forward to everything. The little brats are much easier to deal with than the big slick Xia Duanfang, give a few more candies when they meet, bring a small snack when they go out, and are more friendly, all of them are very well-behaved - even though Xia Duanfang insists that they and Shi Wuyuan are not allowed. It's a pity that it didn't work very well.

Day after day, after a new year, opened the chūn, and all the herbs were growing again, and the weather was getting warmer. Xia Duanfang couldn't walk. After a long time, perhaps because of the comfortable stay, or because of the three apprentices, his attitude softened slightly.

The one who had the best life was Bai Li. Although Shi Wuyuan did his best for his so-called "eldest brother" and made him see it in his eyes, he felt very uncomfortable, but when he heard that Gu Huaiyang had ordered a marriage, he wanted to do it right away. After the incident of marrying a daughter-in-law, Bai Li's expression softened a lot. When he saw Gu Huaiyang, he no longer stared at him with cold eyes and nodded lightly to say hello.

Gu Huaiyang was probably naturally very knowledgeable about government and military affairs. After Haining County had settled down, within half a year, Haining was like a god. The original number of the Red Turbans has been expanded by more than three or four times by him. He keeps practicing, and often has the opportunity to go out to grab a mountain, and use war to support war, and soldiers to support soldiers.

Haining is surrounded by mountains. When there is no war on weekdays, when there is more than enough time to train troops, Gu Huaiyang will personally take them to open mountains, and when they open mountains, they will have fields. ——The military salaries of the imperial court could not support as many private soldiers as Gu Huaiyang.

I don't know why. In these years of natural and man-made disasters, although Haining was not considered a hardest hit area regardless of droughts or floods, the years were not so good. However, in the first year, Gu Huaiyang became a general, and in the second year, Haining County was out of order. The weather is smooth.

At the end of the year again, the DPRK and China sent a censor to inspect and assess the political achievements of officials from all over the country. After living for half a month, the censors left with satisfaction. As a result, in this year's performance evaluation, the governors and generals of various places, and all the adults with strict grades, there is no one in the small county here. The nondescript "General" did well.

It also became a classic joke of the year.

After a new year, General Gu finally got his wish to marry the daughter of Wang Zhao Honglu, a different surname of Huyang County, a neighboring county of Haining.

King Huyang was the founding general of the country, and the throne has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that the daughter of his family is qualified to be elected to the palace to be the empress. However, when it was passed down to Zhao Honglu's generation, the ancestor's loyalty to the royal family had long since died in the blood. Zhao Honglu was restless, guarding the coast of the South China Sea. I don't know how many private soldiers have been raised, so I'm just waiting to fish in troubled waters.

Tata never thought about marrying his daughter to the emperor, the half-old man who was lost at some point. After searching around, he found that he and Gu Huaiyang were very similar in smell, and he took aim at Haining. Gu Huaiyang's hands became a good place for feng shui treasures, so he happily married his daughter, and planned to be a son-in-law if he continued to speculate in the future.

However, no matter what the old man surnamed Zhao planned, the wedding was a happy one.

Taking advantage of the festive New Year's Eve, Shili Hongzhuang was spread on the snow, and Haining was as festive as a peach blossom garden.

Even Bai Li changed out of the plain-colored robe he had been wearing all the year round. Under Shi Wuji's pointing, he dug out a gold-trimmed long coat from nowhere, and sent a congratulatory gift very sincerely - he He was really happy for Gu Huaiyang to marry a daughter-in-law.
