The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

A good news from the front!

King Yu's army was defeated, and King Yu and his son were captured alive.

Qin Di was overjoyed and walked out of the main courtyard happily, walking briskly as if he was about to float.

Great, Gu Zezhi is finally back!

She has to find out when Gu Zezhi will return to Luo'an City later. Well, she has to prepare some gold sore medicine for him in advance. The last time he came back, he injured his hand. hide from yourself!

and also……

In his thoughts, Qin Di left the gate of the main courtyard.

She was absent-mindedly thinking about things, so she didn't look at the road at all, until Du Ruo, who was behind her, shouted, "Third Madam!"

Qin Di turned his head to look at Du Ruo subconsciously, but when the corner of his eye swept straight ahead, he was stunned, then quickly raised his eyes and looked forward.

Two or three feet away, Gu Zezhi in silver-white armor was standing beside a tree and hibiscus. He was not wearing a helmet. There was a warm smile on his face.

A pair of phoenix eyes are as deep as the sea, looking at her quietly, as if traveling through the ages.

Under the scorching summer sun, his whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of gold powder, which was even more eye-catching than the bright red hibiscus flowers beside him.

"Zezhi!"

Qin Di rushed towards him directly, and regardless of anyone else beside him, he happily hugged him on the waist.

Du Ruo's face turned pale with fright, and she said in a trembling voice, "Third Madam, belly!"

Gu Zezhi: "?"

Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows, not knowing what was going on.

Qin Di's response was to grab one of his hands and put it on his stomach.

It has been four months since the baby was born. Qin Di's figure is still slender, and his stomach looks very flat, not showing any signs of pregnancy.

Du Ruo was more worried than Qin Di every day, and invited many doctors and Granny Wen to show Qin Di. Granny Wen said that Qin Di was the first child, and her belly would grow slowly.

Gu Zezhi's big palm rested on Qin Di's belly. After a moment's stunned, he reacted and his eyes widened.

It has been more than two months since he left, and he has no idea about Qin Di's pregnancy.

Duan Wang also thought about sending someone to inform Gu Zezhi of the good news, but he was worried that Gu Zezhi would be eager to win the battle because of this.

Gu Zezhi: "..."

Qin Di had never seen him so lost, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and shook it in front of him...

In the next instant, she let out a low cry, and Gu Zezhi hugged her whole body.

Qin Di almost thought that he was going to run around in a hurry next step, but he just held her for a while, as if he was holding a fragile treasure.

Qin Di burst out laughing, a bit unpleasant.

But she was really happy. Jin Thigh was always calm and scheming on weekdays. He would be so rude today, it should be a sign that he was very happy!

Du Ruo: "..."

Poor Du Ruo felt that her heart was trembling. Qin Di and Gu Zezhi were jumping and hugging each other and almost didn't panic, until Gu Zezhi put Qin Di down, and Qin Di fell down to the ground. After that, Du Ruocai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was going to keep an eye on Gu Zezhi recently and couldn't let him mess around.

The young couple held hands and walked back. Gu Zezhi came back, so he naturally wanted to greet Duan Wang.

As Qin Di walked, he asked, "Is the battle over?"

Gu Zezhi smiled and said, "It's over."

Gu Zezhi picked up the key points and gave a rough overview of the battle situation.

After Gu Zezhi laid down the cities behind Yuzhou at the end of June, he began to gradually cut off the food and forage of King Yu's army. There are only three main grain producing areas in Yuzhou. The army's food and forage were naturally cut off.

After that, Yu Fuyun changed his previous defense and began to approach King Yu's army step by step...

Gu Zezhi said lightly about the past two months:

"...When Yu Fuyun pushed the army of King Yu back to the border of Yuzhou and Jizhou, King Yu deliberately made a defeat, intending to lead Yu Fuyun to the north of Henan, and King Yu secretly had a supporting army circle around Yu Fuyun. To the southeast, the two armies intend to outflank Yu Fuyun."

"Unfortunately, King Yu is still too impatient. His plan to lure you into the urn can't be concealed from Yu Fuyun, but Yu Fuyun just plans on it."

Gu Zezhi put it simply, but in fact the situation at that time was very dangerous. Yu Fuyun made himself a bait to attract King Yu. The western Xinjiang army, besieged from all sides, and laid a net of heaven and earth, only to capture the father and son of King Yu.

This battle must be hit with a single blow. Once King Yu and his son are allowed to retreat to the hinterland of Yuzhou, with Yuzhou’s terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the intertwined forces of King Yu and his son in Yuzhou, I am afraid that this battle will take another year and a half.

Qin Di's left ear goes in and out of the right ear, and he has no brains at all. Anyway, it's good that the court wins this game, and it's good that Gu Zezhi comes back safely.

He's safe and sound better than anything!

In the past few months, Qin Di has known what it means to be worried.

He's back, so nice!

She held his hand and shook it beautifully, the smile on her face was silly, her smile was like a flower, and her whole face was radiant.

Gu Zezhi put her little hand on his lips, and gently kissed her fair and slender fingers with no bones, and then wrapped her little hand in his own, his heart was as soft as spring water: she was there ,very nice.

The young couple walked into the courtyard of the main courtyard holding hands. The fragrance of the wood hibiscus followed the autumn wind. The weather at this moment was neither hot nor cold, it was the most comfortable time.

Qin Di said sweetly, "Are you going back to the capital then?"

"..." Gu Zezhi originally planned to return to the capital as soon as the battle was over, but now that Qin Di was pregnant, he hesitated.

This road is a long way, no matter how slow you go, it will inevitably be exhausted. Gu Zezhi is afraid of any accidents on the road.

As soon as Gu Zezhi's eyes fell on her lower abdomen, Qin Di knew what he was worrying about, and hurriedly said, "Go back and go back."

"The doctor said that it doesn't matter if it's three months old. I'm four months old, and it's even more inconvenient to have a big stomach in the future."

"At most, we'll just walk slower on the road."

Qin Di shook Gu Zezhi's hand and said in a coquettish tone.

She knew that Gu Zezhi would definitely return to Beijing to recover his life.

After such a battle, Gu Zezhi always wanted to report the situation to the emperor. Although Yu Fuyun and his son would probably be escorted to the capital by Yu Fuyun, it was unrealistic for Gu Zezhi not to go back.

Qin Di really didn't want to stay in Duan Wang's mansion by himself.

If she can't walk now, she will definitely not be able to walk when her stomach is big. After giving birth to a child, she will feel that the child is too young to walk. After all, in this era, children are the most precious and most likely to die, so they must be cautious.

After going back and forth like this, wouldn't she have to stay in the Western Xinjiang for a few years?

!

Gu Zezhi has errands in the capital, so he can't stay in Xijiang for a long time to accompany them, and she can't let him give up everything in the capital to stay in Xijiang for her and her children.

Therefore, their family must go back to Beijing.

Qin Di looked up at him and repeated, "Go back, let's go back."

Her ending is soft and waxy, and she is coquettish, how well-behaved she is.

Those big black and white eyes didn't blink, and the pupils were as bright as if the starry sky on that summer night was reflected in them.

Gu Zezhi looked down at her, his brows moved, and he seemed to be hesitant.

He opened his lips slightly, but Qin Di pressed a forefinger against his thin lips, preventing him from speaking.

"Just nod!"

Qin Di looked at him with a smile, doing both hard and soft, not giving him any chance to refuse.

Gu Zezhi: "..."

Qin Di quickly looked to the left and right of the courtyard, making sure there was no one nearby, so he quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.

Du Ruo behind her only thought that she was not a "human", and silently looked at the sun in the sky, thinking: The weather is so nice today!

Gu Zezhi: "..."

Qin Di felt that Jin Tau, this person, was really difficult to coax.

She gave it up, stood on tiptoe again, licked his thin lips lightly this time, and continued to look at him with flickering eyes.

I mean, he promises it!

Gu Zezhi squeezed her hand, her hand was so small, like the flower that bloomed on the branch was weak and easy to break.

However, he knew that his little girl was not a delicate flower, nor was she that weak.

As she wished, Gu Zezhi nodded and finally agreed.

Qin Di smiled happily, and his eyes instantly turned into a pair of crescent moons, with a bright smile.

The young couple entered the east room of the main courtyard hand in hand.

Duan Wang also already knew the news of Gu Zezhi's return, and was waiting eagerly. He didn't expect his son to walk so far from the entrance of the courtyard, and it took a long tea time to arrive.

I didn't expect that the first sentence my son said when he met was to bring his pregnant daughter-in-law back to the capital.

"Zezhi, your daughter-in-law is pregnant. I'm afraid it's not right to travel thousands of miles."

Duan Wang wanted to persuade them not to rush back in such a hurry.

However, what Gu Ze decided will not change easily, he just said: "Xiao Ji and I have been away from the capital for half a year, and my mother must miss us very much."

Hearing Gu Zezhi mentioning his mother, Duan Wang had nothing to do. He also thought that if the princess knew the news that the third daughter-in-law was pregnant, she would definitely be happy, and maybe she would be discouraged... Moreover, if he stopped his daughter-in-law from going back, the princess would not be able to return. Do you think he is trying to use Xiao Sunsun to force her?

After thinking about it, Duan Wang finally relaxed and agreed to let Gu Zezhi and Qin Di leave.

As a result, everyone in the palace saw that Gu Zezhi had just returned, and the third room began to pack his bags.

Originally, Gu Zezhi didn't plan to stay long when he came back this time, so he didn't bring much things back, and it would take a day or two for the servants to pack up.

In the past two days, Duan Wang thought a lot.

Seeing that the day when Gu Zezhi set the departure date was getting closer and closer, Duan Wang couldn't hold back, and finally when Gu Zezhi came to greet him, he asked, "Zezhi, are you not coming back in the future?"

When he asked this sentence, Duan Wang was flustered in his heart, and raised his heart little by little.

In fact, as early as the night when Gu Zezhi proposed to take Qin Di back to Beijing, he was lying on the couch alone in the dead of night, and this idea suddenly popped into his heart.

That night, he stayed up all night for it.

He vaguely had an answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask. Before that, he thought that Gu Zezhi would be willing to stay in the western border and become the heir; but Gu Zezhi planned to take Qin Di to the capital, and it was conceivable that the child was born. Afterwards, he could not return to the Western Xinjiang for at least several years.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Duan Wang had not dared to ask for the past two days, just because he was afraid of hearing answers that he did not want to hear.

Gu Zezhi stared directly at Duan Wang, who was separated from him by a Ruyi Xiaofangji.

Duan Wang is fifty-four years old. He is a martial artist. At first, he couldn't tell his age. He looked like he was in his forties, but in the past few months, he has experienced so many things and suffered again. After a serious injury, he is now showing his old age, and his whole body is a lot haggard. He has added a lot of hair to his temples, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and lips have deepened a lot.

Gu Zezhi nodded directly and bluntly admitted: "Yes, I will not come back in the future."

In the future, their family will live in the capital.

Duan Wang's hands on his knees clasped together, feeling like there was a hole in his heart, and the cold wind whistled past.

"However, Zezhi, Prince Duan's mansion needs you to inherit, and this prince will ask you to be named heir."

His voice was hoarse and a little tight.

Gu Zezhi's eyes were calm, like a bottomless pool of water, and Duan Wang's words did not cause any ripples in his eyes.

Gu Zezhi said indifferently, "Father, I have never had the title of King Xin Duan."

"The title, I can earn it myself."

He said calmly, not taking an oath, just stating.

From the beginning to the end, his emotions were surprisingly calm, there was no anger, no unwillingness, no ridicule, and no joy.

Duan Wang: "..."

The calmer Gu Zezhi was, the more uncomfortable Duan Wang felt in his heart, and his heart was throbbing in waves.

The house fell silent.

The sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on the ground through the gaps in the luxuriant branches and leaves.

Duan Wang stared blankly at Gu Zezhi, the past events flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Thinking back to the past, Gu Zezhi had said more than once that he was not interested in the title, nor was he interested in arguing with Gu Chen, but he always guarded him and suppressed him.

Duan Wang originally thought that he was here to prevent the brothers from fighting the wall and for the overall situation, but now that he thinks about it again, everything is extremely mocking.

Thinking back to that time, Gu Zezhi had made many exploits on the battlefield between the Xijiang Army and Xidi, but he just called him back from the front line and let Gu Chenzhi pick up the ready-made military exploits.

Originally, based on Gu Zezhi's military exploits in the Battle of Pingxi Di, even if he couldn't be named a county king, at least his father, the king, could ask the emperor to appoint a general or general to the emperor for him.

He was afraid that Gu Zezhi's reputation in the army surpassed Gu Chenzhi's, and he was afraid that Gu Zezhi coveted the position of the heir, so he killed Gu Zezhi's future, just to make Gu Chenzhi the white-eyed wolf.

It was him who was blind and blind, and blindly devoted his efforts to Gu Chenzhi, he ignored Gu Zezhi, and he, the father, was sorry for the third son.

Duan Wang was very sorry in his heart. He made too many mistakes... Is it still too late to make up for it?

Even if Gu Zezhi didn't know how to read his mind, he could still see what Duan Wang was thinking, but he didn't mean to solve him, and he didn't intend to give him any hope. He added, "Xiaoji and I live in the capital."

Duan Wang felt that his heart was shrunk again, he was hit hard, his eyes dimmed a little, his heart was mixed, and he was extremely tormented, and more of it was guilt, self-blame and regret.

"Zezhi..." Duan Wang opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something. In the past, he always believed that the princess would forgive him and come back, but now, he can no longer deceive himself like this.

Since Zezhi was so disappointed in him, the princess was afraid that she would feel the same way.

She said that justice is absolutely necessary, that is, she really wants to be righteous with herself.

Gu Zezhi got up, bowed to King Duan, and then retired.

In the room, Duan Wang was the only one left sitting there alone. His usual tall and straight stature seemed to be a little more hunched, and he looked a little older.

Outside the window, the flowers and trees were still swaying in the wind, making a rustling noise. The mottled light and shadow cast on Duan Wang's face, which was desolate and condensed.

The sunset gradually went down.

That night, Duan Wang stayed up all night again, sitting there motionless until dawn.

Early the next morning, Gu Zezhi and Qin Di set off for Luo'an City, and their fleet added ten more cars recently, all of which were special products of Xijiang and sent by Duan Wang.

Because Qin Di was pregnant, Gu Zezhi had someone put a thick layer of cushion in the carriage so that she could lie down.

He was afraid of bumping her, so he would rather take a detour and take the spacious and flat official road, and he deliberately slowed down.

Qin Di has a good relationship with her. She has no discomfort along the way. She has neither motion sickness nor morning sickness. She eats and sleeps well every day. Du Ruo and several maids secretly praised that the little master must be a well-behaved character, so he knows how to be considerate of his mother.

They made their way slowly and did not reach the capital until the end of October.

And just three days before they arrived, Yu Fuyun had just returned to the capital.

Unlike Gu Zezhi, who patted his butt and returned to the western border in a dashing manner after the defeat of King Yu's army, Yu Fuyun, as a marshal, had to deal with too many things. We must also exterminate the remnants of the Yu Wang army's remnants of the bandits...

It took more than a full month to deal with the follow-up matters on the Yuzhou side before Yu Fuyun had the time to personally escort King Yu back to Beijing.

Qin Di felt that this was too coincidental, so he couldn't help but ask, "Did you count the time on purpose?"

Qin Di had to suspect that Gu Zezhi deliberately arrived in the capital a few days later than Yu Fuyun, so as not to steal his limelight. After all, Yu Fuyun was the coach of the battle between the imperial court and Yuzhou.

Gu Zezhi smiled but didn't answer, stretched out his hand to help Qin Di's hand out of the carriage.

Beside the carriage, Mammy Wang had been waiting for a long time, and bowed to Gu Zezhi and Qin Difu, "Wang Ye, Wang Fei, and Concubine are waiting for the two in the main hall!"

Mother Wang said that the concubine was referring to Gu Zezhi's mother, Mrs. Xiao.

Originally, after they set off for the Western Xinjiang in February, Mrs. Xiao lived and went back to her Xiao residence, and Gu Zezhi let her alone until five days ago to send someone back to Beijing in advance to tell Mrs. Xiao that Qin Di was pregnant. He also said that he was worried that Qin Di would not be taken care of after he arrived in the capital.

So, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked people to pack up the things, and hurriedly moved back to the Prince's Mansion. In the past two days, she was busy supervising the cleaning and layout of the entire mansion, and she put away almost all the angular things.

When Mrs. Xiao saw that Gu Zezhi and Qin Di came to her hand in hand, she couldn't help but glared at her son first, as if to say, stinky boy, you did it on purpose to hide such a big thing from her. Wait until they're almost there.

"Mother."

Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, and greeted Mrs. Xiao with Qin Di.

He did it on purpose. It was too early. He was afraid that his mother would be worried that he would not be able to sleep well for more than a month. He also knew that it was a problem for his mother that he married so late. No matter how he consoled her in the past, her mother always felt that she was right. This is also half of the responsibility, I feel that she has delayed her marriage.

Mrs. Xiao was reluctant to let Qin Di bend her knees, Qin Di just bent her knees, and she raised her hand to help her up, "Little Di, what kind of salute, you are a two-body person now, keep everything simple, talk about those What to do with humility.

Sit down. "

Qin Di sat down with kindness.

Mrs. Xiao looked up and down at Qin Di.

Qin Di's lower abdomen has bulged slightly, but she is wearing a loose skirt, so her belly is not visible, her face is red, her skin is lustrous, and her eyes are bright.

Mrs. Xiao saw her spirited appearance and knew that she had a good pregnancy.

Gu Zezhi smiled and bowed his hand to Mrs. Xiao, "Mother, I will leave Xiao Di to take care of you. I will go to the palace to return to my life."

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao's eyes were only on Qin Di who was pregnant. She had no time to pay attention to Gu Zezhi and waved her hand casually.

Qin Di smiled sweetly at Gu Zezhi and motioned him to go.

After Gu Zezhi left, Mrs. Xiao took Qin Di's hand and asked, "Zezhi said in the letter that your baby is more than five months old, what did the doctor say?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "Mother, I'm doing fine. In the morning, Doctor Wang Liang just took my pulse. I don't need to take anti-abortion pills or any tonic."

They came with Wang Liangyi along the way. This was what Duan Wang insisted, and Gu Zezhi agreed.

Wang Liangyi was entrusted with an important task by Duan Wang, and he had to ask Qin Di a pulse every day, which was conscientious.

"Okay, so good!"

Mrs. Xiao said hello again and again, and couldn't help sighing, "In the past, when I was pregnant with Zezhi, I was not as good as you!"

As she said that, she glanced at the back of her son outside the hall with a little disgust, and saw that he looked like a dog now. At that time, she was tormented.

To be honest, Mrs. Xiao only gave birth to one Gu Zezhi, and she was also very old when she was born. Not only was she suffering from morning sickness, but her pregnancy was also unstable. She almost lay on the couch for seven or eight months, until Gu Zezhi fell to the ground. After confinement, I dared to stay.

Therefore, Mrs. Xiao has no experience with Qin Di's kindness, who can eat and sleep.

Grandma Wang also recalled the past, and said with a sigh: "The princess had severe morning sickness at that time..."

At that time, when the princess was pregnant with the third master, she was in her thirties. No one thought that the princess would be able to conceive, even her. The princess hadn't had her period for three months, and she didn't notice it. One day, the princess suddenly vomited. It was so frustrating that I invited a good doctor to see it.

Hearing Mammy Wang talk about this past, Du Ruo's expression was complicated, and she remembered how she invited Dr. Cheng to check her master's pulse...

Thinking of the past, Mrs. Xiao also found it funny, and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoji, I have already gone to letter Jiangnan and asked Zezhi's aunt to send some experienced aunts over."

Mrs. Xiao thought that she could also ask Queen Wei to mention it to see if she had any suitable candidates. Also, the candidate for this wet nurse had to be picked earlier. It used to be very simple in the Western Xinjiang. The capital is still too shallow.

Qin Di looked at what Mrs. Xiao seemed to be worried about, and deliberately diverted her attention: "Mother, do you know about the prince?"

Mrs. Xiao has never inquired about the news of Duan Wang's mansion since she fought with Duan Wang Yi. She only pays attention to the news about Gu Zezhi. Occasionally, when someone talks about it, one or two sentences will get into her ears, such as—

"I heard that he was beheaded in public."

Mrs. Xiao sneered, her eyes slightly cold.

Qin Di told everything that Gu Zezhi told her, including Duan Wang personally ordered Gu Chenzhi to rectify the law on the spot.

For these, Mrs. Xiao just sighed.

Gu Chenzhi was brought up by her. She couldn't say that she treated him like a parent, but she also admitted that she had never treated him badly, no matter if she had Zezhi or not, but what about Gu Chenzhi?

Now that she has decided to cut her off with Duan Wangfu, Mrs. Xiao, after a brief sigh, put Gu Chenzhi behind her and listened to Qin Di talk about Gu Zezhi's war this time.

One speaks excitedly, the other listens intently.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law smiled and talked about the person they cared about most. Naturally, they were in a good mood.

At this time, Gu Zezhi had already entered the palace, and he was telling the emperor the same thing, but he was much more concise and comprehensive than Qin Ji.

The emperor was in a better mood than anyone else, his face was radiant, and he couldn't stop laughing, "Zezhi, I'll be waiting for you to come back, and give you and Yu Fuyun a celebration."

For the emperor, this battle went well beyond imagination, and the battle was settled in less than a year.

Before the great victory of Changqing City, because Yu Fuyun abandoned the city from time to time to retreat, King Yu was approaching the capital, causing a lot of doubts and disputes between the court and the court. Feeling that Yu Fuyun was timid, he proposed to change the coach, but all were suppressed by the emperor.

The emperor believed in Yu Fuyun and Gu Zezhi.

The emperor not only suppressed these voices, but also did his best to ensure that they had no worries.

It was not until the victory of Evergreen City, when King Yu's army was forced to retreat thirty miles for the first time, that the voices of doubt and criticism finally stopped.

Afterwards, Yu Fuyun swept away the previous style of focusing on defense, led the army to counterattack, and gradually forced the Yuwang army back to Yuzhou, recovering one city after another, and finally defeated Gu Zezhi, Jinzhouwei and Minzhouwei. Together, they defeated the King Yu army in northern Henan.

To be honest, when he learned that King Yu and his son were captured alive, the emperor was a little stunned, as if the stone that had been in his heart for more than ten years suddenly fell, and he was relieved.

He sat at the window of the imperial study for a long time, thinking of many past events in his mind, thinking of the emperor, thinking of Yongle, thinking of...

Finally, his long-cherished wish for so many years has been fulfilled!
