The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Gu Chenzhi took the wine from Fang Yuande and drank it in one gulp.

Cooperating with King Yu is just his first step. Next, he can wait until King Duan and the imperial court are both defeated, then he will lead the Western Xinjiang Army to rise up and conquer the world.

Seeing this, Fang Yuande finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was done.

Ever since Fang Han turned against him in the capital, King Yu looked at him with dissatisfaction, blaming him for not teaching his daughter well.

Fang Yuande was also wronged in his heart. He listened to King Yu from the beginning to the end. King Yu asked him to marry his daughter, so he married his daughter. King Yu asked Fang Han to go to the capital. He should be warned. They were also warned, how would they know that Fang Hanjun, a rebellious girl, didn't even want his own father.

Thinking of Fang Hanjun's affairs, Fang Yuande still feels uneasy.

This time, when King Yu sent him to the Western Border, he was also apprehensive, for fear that he would make another mistake.

Finally, this time the errand was done, and he should be able to make up for it.

The smile on Fang Yuande's face thickened a little, and he poured Gu Chenzhi's wine again, and then raised a glass to the other party, "Master Shizi, Ben Bo will toast you for King Yu."

Gu Chenzhi also raised his glass.

He represents himself, not others, but himself!

In the elegant seat, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

The weather is good today, the sun outside is getting hotter and hotter, and the glazed window slants into the elegant seat. On the street, the spring breeze brings not only the fragrance of flowers, but also some yellow sand.

On the same day, after coming out of the restaurant, Fang Yuande was ready to return to Yuzhou. He went back to the inn to explain, and then went to Duanwangfu to formally bid farewell to Duanwang.

Duan Wang answered without saying a word, and did not see Fang Yuande at all, and only let the long history of the palace deal with him.

"Snapped."

With the crisp sound of falling stones, the white stones landed on the corner of the chessboard.

Duan Wang picked up a black stone from the chess box and dropped it, looking at Gu Chenzhi who was sitting on the other side of the chessboard.

The prince has been entertaining Fang Yuande these past few days. The prince told him that he had already rejected Prince Yu's solicitation. He said it with certainty, but Prince Duan was always a little uneasy.

King Duan used to absolutely believe in the prince, but now because the prince had proposed to make friends with Prince Yu, he always felt that there was a thorn in his heart. Feeling a little uncomfortable.

It is best to send Fang Yuande away as soon as possible, so as not to let the prince's mind wander.

Gu Chenzhi picked up another piece of white, as if he was pondering.

King Duan asked tentatively, "Chenzhi, would you like to send one to Uncle Dongping?"

Gu Chenzhi left another son, smiled calmly, and calmly said, "Father, my son is not familiar with Uncle Dongping, so I won't give it away."

"Furthermore, King Father is right. Since King Yu and the imperial court are going to fight sooner or later, we must not have any closeness with King Yu in Duanwang's mansion, so as not to be criticized by others, it is not a human being inside or outside."

Duan Wang was relieved, thinking that he might be a little over-hearted, and while picking up another black piece, he teased: "Chenzhi, you made the wrong move."

As Duan Wang dropped Heizi, Gu Chenzhi showed an expression of sudden realization, cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son's chess skills are still far inferior to yours."

Duan Wang stroked his beard and laughed, "Compared to Zezhi, your chess skills are inferior."

Duan Wang put down a major event and was in a good mood, but he didn't notice that Gu Chenzhi's left hand under the case was tightly clenched into a fist.

It's Gu Zezhi again!

Gu Chenzhi coughed twice, and then said, "Father, shall we have another round?"

Here, father and son play chess again;

In that room, Fang Yuande, who hurriedly packed his luggage, left the city that day. He needed to rush back to Yuzhou immediately and report to King Yu.

A group of twenty people rode their horses out from the east gate, and joined the thousand Yuzhou guards stationed outside the city.

The thousand-person team went on the road in a mighty way, galloping along the official road, raising a piece of loess and gravel.

Gradually, the two sides of the official road became barren, and the surrounding area was mostly boundless Gobi or desert wasteland.

Fang Yuande really wanted to put his wings on his wings and leave the ghostly place in the Western Border.

The haze of the past few months has finally been swept away.

Since the news of Fang Han's defection came, he was a man with his tail tucked between his tails in Yuzhou, and he was kept cold by King Yu for a long time.

Now, the trouble that Fang Hanjun and Yongle's mother and daughter brought him can finally be resolved.

Thinking of the divorce letter he received from the capital a few days ago, Fang Yuande's eyes filled with hatred. It was a great shame for his life.

All this is brought to him by this mother and daughter!

"Snapped!"

Fang Yuande slammed the whip on the horse's hip again, and there was a hint of happiness on his face. He felt that he had spent eight lifetimes of blood and mold on the mother and daughter.

After all, it wasn't that he wanted to marry Yongle, but the emperor forced him to marry him.

It wasn't that he wanted to give birth to a rebellious girl like Fang Hanjun, it was Yongle who wanted to give birth, and King Yu also thought it would be good to have one more proton.

Over the years, he has done his best to raise their mother and daughter.

Look, they all say that blood is thicker than water, but his rebellious girl is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!

The group rushed forward for another five miles, and a young general who went to explore the road in front came back and said: "Uncle, there is a post station a mile ahead, but this post station is small and it is on the side of the road."

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and a faint silver moon appeared in the gray-blue sky.

The surroundings are even more desolate. As far as the eye can see, there are almost no people or living creatures. There are only Gobi rock mountains on both sides.

There was only a little light flashing in the small post in front.

Seeing that the post station was about ten feet away, Fang Yuande pulled the reins from the horse, slowed down the speed of the horse, and frowned in disgust, "It's like a broken temple!"

Even if he was named a prince in this ghostly place in Xijiang, he couldn't stay any longer!

One of the school captains accompanying him said with an apologetic smile: "Uncle, it will be fine after you leave the western border in two days.

This area is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few cities. "

Fang Yuande felt that he was all implicated by Yongle's mother and daughter, so he was so embarrassed, and said angrily: "Humph! When King Yu takes the capital, Uncle Ben has not destroyed Yongle's bones and ashes. The hatred in Ben Bo's heart!"

King Yu had promised himself that when he ascended the throne, he would make himself a vassal king, and the title would never be downgraded.

Fang Yuande was about to get off his horse when he heard a gentle male voice break the coldness of the surrounding dark night:

"Whose corpse is your uncle trying to smash into ashes?"

In the inn in front, a young man in a purple brocade robe walked out of the inn leisurely, followed by a dozen or so soldiers in black armor, each with torches.

The young man on the white horse was handsome, tall and straight, with a faint smile on his lips.

It is as elegant and dazzling as the Epiphyllum that blooms under the moonlight that night.

Under the scorching light of the torch, there was an inexplicable bewitching and a dangerous aura all over his body.

"Gu Zezhi."

Fang Yuande recognized the other party and blurted out in surprise.

He and Gu Zezhi are also one-sided, that is, in the daytime, he saw Gu Chenzhi and Gu Zezhi saying hello and saying something from a distance. At that time, he was afraid of being seen by Gu Zezhi, so he avoided it. From a distance, he did not go to see Gu Chenzhi until the other party rode his horse away.

The question is, how did Gu Zezhi appear here?

!

Fang Yuande's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague feeling of being uncomfortable.

Gu Zezhi smiled slightly and said politely, "Uncle please tell me."

He had a warm smile and a friendly attitude, as if he was simply inviting Fang Yuande as a guest.

Fang Yuande squinted at Gu Zezhi in front of him.

When he saw Gu Zezhi for the first time, he was startled, but calmed down quickly.

Before he set off from Yuzhou to Western Xinjiang, he knew that Gu Zezhi had also come to Western Xinjiang.

King Yu also told him about Gu Zezhi. He was the emperor of Chenjun, and he led the army to quell the rebellion in Fujian. When he was in the capital, he also went into and out of the imperial study. It can be said that he belonged to the emperor. running dog.

Fang Yuande was disdainful in his heart, pulled the rope, and his horse snorted violently.

"What advice does Prince Chenjun give?"

"If there's nothing else, Ben Bo can leave."

Fang Yuande was not interested and had no time to deal with Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi smiled so lightly, and said, "Uncle I'm afraid he won't be able to leave."

The tone of voice is gentle, but the meaning in the words is very strong.

Fang Yuande's face sank in an instant, annoyed, and he asked in a cold voice: "It is King Duan's intention to let Bengbo leave Xijiang, and it is also the intention of the prince, but the king of Chenjun insists on keeping Bengbo, is it because he wants to Can't you disobey your father and brother?"

His words were heavier than each word, reminding Gu Zezhi that this was the western border, not the capital, and that the person in charge of the western border was King Duan and the prince Gu Chenzhi.

Gu Zezhi smiled, like the bright moon on a spring night, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, calm and calm, without any intention of retreating.

Fang Yuande's heart sank by three points again, feeling bad.

However, although he felt bad, he was not afraid of Gu Zezhi.

This time, he was on an envoy for King Yu, and he brought a thousand soldiers, all of whom were elites. Before, because he entered Luo'an city, he placed all these soldiers outside the city, but now these soldiers are following him. Behind him, these people are the elites of Yuzhou Wei!

And Gu Zezhi only brought a dozen soldiers behind him.

What to fear!

Fang Yuande didn't bother to tell Gu Zezhi any more, he waved his hand and made a gesture, "Let's go!"

Fang Yuande didn't want to rest at this inn anymore, and planned to leave overnight.

The soldiers behind him echoed in unison, shouting like thunder.

At the same time, there was a sudden piercing sound in the shadow of the Gobi Stone Mountain in the front left.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

More than a dozen sharp arrows hurried out of the strings and shot in the direction of Fang Yuande and his party.

These arrows came unexpectedly, causing a screeching of shocking horses one after another, and several Yuzhou guards hurriedly blocked the arrows with their knives.

One of the arrows grazed Fang Yuande's cheek, and the sharp tip of the arrow left a bloodstain on his left cheek.

Fang Yuande only felt a burning pain in his cheeks.

Of course he knew that this was the other party's warning, and his pupils shrank.

Gu Zezhi was still laughing, "Uncle, don't you think I'm going to stop you by myself?"

What he meant was that Fang Yuande had been surrounded.

Fang Yuande: "!"

He only felt like a light on his back. Originally, he felt that the surroundings were dead and unpopular, but now he felt that there seemed to be countless hungry beasts lurking in the darkness.

He is the prey of the beasts!

Fang Yuande's face was ashen, his teeth rattled, and he asked with his first and last name, "Gu Zezhi, what are you trying to do?

! "

"You brought troops to stop Ben Bo, does King Duan know?

! "

However, Gu Zezhi did not intend to confuse Fang Yuande.

He smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't need to know so much."

"Surrenders don't kill."

"Whoever does not surrender will be punished."

He offered his terms lightly, so naturally, so gracefully.

In stark contrast to what he said.

The night wind is howling, it is obviously spring and March, but the night in the Gobi is full of chills.

"..." Fang Yuande's eyes twitched, thinking quickly.

He didn't know how many people Gu Zezhi brought to ambush him, but it was conceivable that there could not be too many people.

This is Xijiang. Gu Zezhi came to Xijiang from the capital to bring his newlywed wife back to serve tea to King Duan, and he only brought hundreds of people with him.

Xijiang is the territory of King Duan's prince Gu Chenzhi. The soldiers here either obey Gu Chenzhi or King Duan. How many people can Gu Zezhi have?

!

The few arrows that Gu Zezhi just let people shoot, half of them were not injured, to put it bluntly, he was just bluffing.

He was really frightening himself, trying to frighten himself with an empty city plan to take the initiative to follow him!

Yes, it must be so!

Fang Yuande told himself firmly in his heart, waved his arms, and ordered again: "Break out!"

At the moment when the word "wei" fell, like a signal, there were sharp sounds of breaking the air from all directions, and countless arrows formed a dense rain of arrows shot towards Fang Yuande and the thousand soldiers behind him.

This time, there is no more sympathy.

The sounds of screams, weapons exchange, horses neighing, and falling sounds intertwined, like a big net covering the sky and the sun.

The thick smell of blood permeated the cold night wind.

In the dark night, the enemy did not know where to hide, and the comrades beside him were killed by arrows one by one, some were shot to death, some were trampled to death by frightened horses after falling from their horses, and the corpses fell to the ground in various places, their eyes closed. Death stared at the boss with a grim face.

The feeling of being stared at by black and white impermanence made Fang Yuande even more uneasy.

"Protect Uncle! Protect Uncle!"

The captain and others beside Fang Yuande were shouting, and they were all guarding Fang Yuande, fighting bloody battles.

Fang Yuande's face was terrified. He didn't expect the situation to turn out to be one-sided.

He could only watch helplessly as the thousand soldiers he brought with him became less and less;

He could only watch helplessly as a group of black armored soldiers marched out of the shadows, the swords fell, and the heads rolled to the ground;

He could only watch helplessly as these mysterious armoured soldiers rushed forward with the attitude of killing people and killing Buddhas...

In the end, only their loud and cold voices were left around:

"Surrenders don't kill."

"Whoever does not surrender will be punished."

The shouts were uniform and earth-shattering.

Gradually, the knives, spears, and shields fell to the ground one by one, and the remaining soldiers knelt down, only to be left alive to survive.

But in just half an hour, this team of Xuanjia Army won an overwhelming victory.

The embarrassed Fang Yuande was rudely escorted to Gu Zezhi's horse by two black armored soldiers, his shin was kicked, and he could only kneel on the ground.

There was a sea of ​​corpses and blood around, and the smell of blood in the night wind became stronger, making people nauseous, but Gu Zezhi, who was on the horse, still had a light smile, his robes were blown up by the wind, and he was hunting.

I saw that his eyebrows were as thick as ink, his eyes were as bright as stars, his expression was gentle, his whole body was not stained with a trace of blood, and he was not stained with any dust.

Looking at Gu Zezhi now, Fang Yuande felt that his hair was standing upright, panicked, and even more frightened.

He originally thought that when he came to the Western Xinjiang, the only people he wanted to guard against were King Duan and the heir, Gu Chenzhi, but he was planted in Gu Zezhi's hands.

He never imagined that Gu Ze's attack would be so ruthless.

He never expected that King Yu completely underestimated Gu Zezhi.

Fang Yuande's heart was beating like a drum, and his heart was already in his throat.

He is also a person who has fought a battle. He saw clearly in the battle just now that they were not unjustly defeated. It was not just Gu Zezhi who ambushed in advance, so he took the lead. The scary thing is that these archers he brought with him , All of them have a thousand strengths, and the strength of each arrow is not ordinary.

In ancient times, there was a flying general Li Guang, who opened his bow and shot, and the arrow could penetrate the stone, which shows that his arm strength is not trivial.

As for the marksman brought by Gu Zezhi, everyone seems to have the ability of Li Guang, and their arrows are enough to shoot through people's skulls. It is not uncommon for such marksmen to have both accuracy and strength. That's pretty scary!

It means that the Xuanjia army led by Gu Zezhi can easily take down the enemy with the advantage of long distance.

Just thinking about it, Fang Yuande felt that the whole person seemed to be in an iceberg and snow field that had not melted for a thousand years, and it was bone-chilling.

Gu Zezhi looked down at Fang Yuande, the smile on his lips deepened, and he sighed lightly, as if he was a little helpless, "Uncle, I have already said that I am here to wait for you, do you think I will not have it? Ambush?"

His white horse paced its hooves and snorted, as if to go along with its master.

"By the way," Gu Zezhi thought of something and asked again, "Uncle hasn't answered me yet, whose bones are you trying to destroy?"

Fang Yuande was in a state of turmoil at the moment, with a cold expression on his face, and then he questioned Gu Zezhi: "Gu Zezhi, you are so bold that you dare to attack Ben Bo!"

"Benbo is from Prince Yu's Mansion, is Duan Wang trying to fight with Prince Yu?

! "

"Brother Ling, do you know that you did this behind his back?

! Are you trying to provoke a dispute between Duanwang's mansion and Yuwang's mansion?

! "

Fang Yuande scolded righteously, he was also testing, to see if Gu Zezhi came under the order of King Duan, and to see if these people under Gu Zezhi were of the same mind as him.

To his disappointment, the surrounding black armored soldiers did not move like a mountain, not even raising their eyebrows.

Fang Yuande's heart sank.

Gu Zezhi sighed again, "Since the uncle doesn't want to answer, it's fine."

"Princess Yongle is the princess of Daqi. The consort abused and humiliated the princess, and should be punished according to the law."

At this moment, Gu Zezhi's eyes changed.

Like a lightning bolt from a cloud of nine clouds, it looks down on the world, and the thunder is overwhelming.

"you dare!"

Fang Yuande said angrily, only to feel chills all over his body and even more shocked.

In his opinion, although Gu Zezhi has been prosperous in the capital in the past two years, he is just a loser who cannot compete with Gu Chenzhi and was forced to go to the capital. abandoned by the king.

Duan Wang would rather help his concubine, and would rather reconcile with the princess Xiao, but also protect the prince Gu Chenzhi.

In the end it is light and heavy, it is obvious.

However, he dared to disregard Duan Wang and the prince wanting to do something to himself...

How dare Gu Zezhi!

Fang Yuande's eyes flickered.

Gu Zezhi smiled and said nothing.

Would he dare not tell others.

Two mysterious soldiers immediately took orders and approached Fang Yuande.

The eyes of the two were cold and expressionless, as if Fang Yuande was not alone in their eyes.

"Gu Zezhi, what do you want to do?

! "

Fang Yuande insisted and questioned, and the ominous premonition in his heart deepened.

Gu Zezhi didn't speak, just looked down at him so condescendingly.

The two black armored soldiers stomped heavily on Fang Yuande's knees.

"Crack."

Something seems to be broken.

Fang Yuande screamed hysterically. He knew that his kneecap was crushed by these two people. It was not dislocated, but shattered.

He will never stand up again!

Fang Yuande rolled on the ground in pain, sweating all over his head.

The mysterious soldier Jia said coolly: "Third Master, just breaking the kneecap is too cheap for him, right?"

The mysterious soldier B sang and said, "How about becoming an adult?"

"Isn't it too cheap for him to have someone serve him when he becomes an adult?"

"That's right."

"..."

"So it's enough to leave him an arm."

As the words of Xuanjia General and Shiyi fell, Fang Yuande let out a shrill scream again, and his right wrist was also crushed by life.

Gu Zezhi waved his hand, and the two stepped back temporarily.

"Uncle, this is the interest, the rest will wait for the emperor to ask for it."

Gu Zezhi said lightly.

Princess Yongle is his cousin. Although he has never seen this cousin, he has seen the emperor cry alone in the imperial study.

Yongle's death was an unhealable pain in the emperor's heart.

Later, from Fang Hanjun's mouth, they learned that behind Yongle's death, there were still such hidden secrets.

For this matter, Qin Di always told him that people like Fang Yuande just died, it was too cheap for him.

After a hundred deaths, he might be a hero again eighteen years later. It would be better for him to live rather than die...

Gu Zezhi felt that his concubine's words had always been insightful.

He smiled slightly and instructed: "Send the person back to the capital.

Be careful not to let him die. "

"Yes, third master."

A teenager responded with a smile.

The young general squatted down, and a palm knife accurately slashed the back of Fang Yuande's neck.

Fang Yuande was in pain all over his body, and the pain was so piercing that he could hardly feel the pain in the back of his neck. He only felt the boundless darkness rushing towards him, and his consciousness became confused...

He thought of Yongle, and he and Yongle were married by the emperor's imperial decree.

Yongle doesn't look down on him, nor does he, their Fang family doesn't want to marry any princess at all.

However, he had to marry, and Yongle had to marry too.

He knew how much King Yu hated the emperor. Only when Yongle had a miserable life would King Yu be satisfied. Otherwise, even if he was King Yu's cousin, King Yu would doubt whether he was relying on the imperial court because he married Yongle. , he would not gain the trust of King Yu.

Therefore, over the years, he has been ignoring Yongle.

Besides, he had always looked down on Yongle's always aloof appearance, thinking that he was a chaste and heroic woman, and he still looked down on him... and he didn't think that she was just a proton given to King Yu by the late emperor.

Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of King Yu. In Yuzhou, Yongle is worse than a prostitute!

When Yongle died, he was actually relieved.

King Yu would never question his loyalty again, and he also vaguely sensed that the time had come, and it was time for King Yu to start a northern expedition.

Fang Yuande's consciousness became more and more blurred, and he vaguely felt that someone took out a token in his arms and...

And he was powerless to resist, powerless to struggle, and could only let the darkness swallow him.

Gu Zezhi never looked at Fang Yuande again, and ordered again: "Clean up the battlefield."

The Xuanjia soldiers were busy cleaning up the corpses and captives here. As for Gu Zezhi's stay, he returned to Luo'an City on horseback.

The night was getting deeper, and the night wind was whistling in this boundless Gobi wasteland, like a ghost crying and wolf howling, gloomy and pitiful.

By the time Gu Zezhi returned to Duanwang's mansion, it was almost midnight.

Inside and outside the palace, the silver moonlight sprinkled the silver frost on the ground, and everything was silent.

He climbed the wall from the back door, and he did this kind of thing when he was young.

Qin Di was dazedly holding the book of words he had just bought today, and was still waiting for him.

Hearing the sound of the curtains, she immediately opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes and asked, "It's done?"

She was sweet and naive with a deep sleepy voice.

"It's done."

Gu Zezhi sat down beside the beauty's couch and took out a letter from his sleeve.
