Chapter 217 So that’s it
After a sleepless night, Gu Xiyan finally fell into a drowsy sleep at dawn.
In his dream, he returned to the Yongle Marquis Mansion, to the place where he and Yao Jia first met, and stood in the courtyard full of red crabapple fruits.
The girl in green clothes sat on the branch of the crabapple tree and smiled at him.
"Sanlang, go home... Don't come to Jiangnan in your next life... And don't come to Yongle Marquis' Mansion... Forget the woman who brought you pain... Don't hate her... Don't blame her... And don't kill her..."
My heart was immediately filled with endless sorrow.
I reached out to grab her and told her that I didn't want to forget her. Even in the next life or the next, I would go to Jiangnan to meet her.
Even if I lose my life, I am willing.
"Jia Jia... I don't hate you... and I don't blame you... Don't run... Don't run..."
The tree seemed to be growing wildly and she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she climbed. She wanted to fly up, but suddenly she was startled.
It was all just a dream.
I opened my eyes and looked at the empty tent, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in my heart.
He sat up, rubbed his swollen temples, and smiled bitterly to himself.
Jiajia, why are you still hiding from me in my dream?
I knew she was behind the screen, but I didn't dare to go over to see her.
I was afraid that she would be angry, and even more afraid that she would leave in anger.
He stood up, put on his clothes, walked to the screen, and said softly, "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
There was no movement behind the screen, so he didn't wait any longer and turned around and left the tent.
As soon as Gu Xiyan left, Yao Jia sat up. She had actually woken up a long time ago, but she just didn't want to face Gu Xiyan, so she kept pretending to be asleep.
I wanted to give him a good dream last night, but it didn't go as planned and the dream scene was set in Yongle Marquis Mansion.
Not only was the dream not complete, but I was also exhausted. I yawned and lay down to catch up on my sleep.
After Gu Xiyan went out, he went straight to the main camp to discuss military intelligence with several other generals, and he was not in the right state of mind during the whole process.
Qu Mu sat in the main seat and looked at him for a long time. Seeing that there was a hint of blue under his eye sockets, he leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Did you toss and turn all night last night?"
Gu Xiyan didn't react at first, but when she met Qu Mu's malicious look, she immediately understood what he was referring to.
"Master, please don't joke around here and tarnish Madam Wei's reputation."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
When Qu Mu heard what he said, he knew that he had failed, and sighed, "Alas, I set a fire just to help you put out the fire, well, I destroyed a tent for nothing."
Gu Xiyan realized later that the fire that burned Yao Jia's tent last night was set by Qu Mu's instructions, and his face immediately darkened.
"Master, why are you doing this?"
Qu Mu was very disappointed. "You are just too disappointing. I thought you would be able to seize the opportunity if I sent someone to your tent. Who knew you would still be so timid?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan’s face turned even darker.
Qu Mu added: "Even if you sleep with her, it doesn't matter. It's not like you haven't slept with her before. If you serve her well, maybe she will help us negotiate with Liang State if she's happy."
Everyone agreed, "What the Marshal said makes sense."
Gu Xiyan glanced at everyone in the tent one by one. He didn't expect that these old foxes all knew Yao Jia's identity and had this purpose.
"Madam Wei is just an ordinary woman. She is not as capable as you think. Don't mention this matter again."
Qu Mu shook his head. This disciple was truly hopeless.
These barbarians of Liang State fought very enthusiastically at the beginning, but stopped sending troops after losing a few battles, saying that they were in the service of righteousness. The envoys they sent were all made up of people who were good at seducing people with their beauty. They bewitched the envoys of Daxia and they only cared about looking at the people, not negotiating at all.
Later, the court sent another group of officials over, and the talks were quite intense, to the point where the scholars engaged in a verbal battle and the noise was deafening. However, not only did the two sides fail to reach an agreement, they actually came to a fight in the conference room.
When they rushed over, they saw that both parties had disheveled clothes, askew hair, and a mess of hair on the floor and the table.
It looked like the fight was quite intense.
Qu Mu and several generals surrounded Gu Xiyan and used coercion and bribery to lure him...
In the corner of the military camp, a soldier was sneaking between each tent.
When no one was paying attention, he lifted the curtain and looked inside. When he didn't see the person he was looking for, he immediately slipped out.
Wang Wu finally saved enough money and was ready to go to the camp prostitute to find a young lady to have some fun. Just as he had dressed himself up in the tent and was about to go out, he saw a tall soldier coming in through the curtain.
Taking a closer look, I saw that this brother was really handsome, with fair skin, a slim waist and long legs. His figure and face were even prettier than those of the girls in the camp brothel.
In comparison, the girl in the camp brothel was simply disgusting compared to the man in front of him.
He immediately became interested in discussing some romantic matters with this brother.
Ye Sinan was looking for Yao Jia everywhere, and he felt uncomfortable when he was suddenly stared at like this.
"Sorry, we entered the wrong tent."
As soon as I turned around and was about to leave, someone hugged my waist from behind.
"Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave. You are so handsome that I can't help but be moved. I have money here. Please make me feel comfortable. Not only money, but I will give you my life."
Ye Sinan clenched his fists, and the internal energy in his body rapidly surged.
With a "bang", Wang Wu's whole body flew away and fell heavily to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"You, you dare to hit me..."
Ye Sinan looked down at him with disgust on his face. He walked up to him, squatted down, and grabbed his neck. "Has any unidentified woman come to the camp recently?"
The man in front of him had a murderous look on his face.
Wang Wu swallowed his saliva and nodded obediently, "Yes... yes..."
"Where are people?"
"In... in General Gu's tent."
Ye Sinan's expression changed instantly. He compromised so easily. This person must not be kept.
Wang Wu's neck broke with a snap and he died on the spot.
Ye Sinan stood up and seeing that there was no one around, he dragged Wang Wu to a secluded place and covered him up on the spot.
After doing all this, he clapped his hands and started looking for Gu Xiyan's tent.
When Yao Jia got up again, the sun was already high in the sky.
When Gu Yi saw that she woke up, he brought her some clean water for her to wash.
"No need to wash, just get me some pot ash."
Gu Yi rolled his eyes and complained in his mind about Yao Jia taking off her pants to fart, but he still walked out of the tent.
I had just taken food and soot from the kitchen and on my way back passed a soldier.
That fleeting moment of surprise almost made Gu Yi throw the tray in his hand away.
I thought: When did the military camp admit such a handsome man? He is even more handsome than my son, but why does he look familiar? I feel like I have seen him somewhere before.
My mind suddenly started to shake, and I turned around and called out to the man.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Sinan paused for only a moment and then continued walking forward, pretending not to hear.
Gu Yi quickly stepped forward and blocked his way, "I'm calling you! Are you deaf?"
Ye Sinan then stopped, looked up at Gu Yi and smiled at him gently.
"What do you want, General?"
Gu Yi looked him up and down, frowning, "Which battalion are you from? Why have I never seen you in the battalion?"
Ye Sinan saluted him and said with a smile: "I am a new soldier, so you naturally haven't seen me before."
"New here?" Gu Yi frowned even deeper, "Show me your military badge."
Ye Sinan heard this and continued to laugh, "The military badge is in the tent. I went out to do something and didn't bring it with me."
Gu Yi sneered, "You didn't bring it with you? I don't think you have it at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw away the tray in his hand and raised his hand to attack Ye Sinan. Ye Sinan reacted quickly, dodged Gu Yi's attack sideways, and at the same time reached out to grab his wrist and twisted it hard.
Gu Yi felt the pain and shouted, "Hurry up, there's a spy..."
Other soldiers came upon hearing the noise and surrounded Ye Sinan.
After a few attempts, Gu Yi immediately remembered that the soldier in front of him was the assassin from Jiangnan who killed Gu Xiyan.
He immediately ordered the archers to aim at Ye Sinan.
Ye Sinan looked at them coldly, holding a dagger in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
"Fire arrows!"
Ye Sinan's eyes flashed, and his body suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Gu Yi.
Gu Yi was caught off guard and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Ye Sinan.
Seeing this, other soldiers shot arrows at him, but Ye Sinan was so agile that he managed to move freely among the rain of arrows.
Go straight to Gu Yi and leave...
"Pfft!"
A cold arrow pierced Ye Sinan's back.
