The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

The emperor looked sharply at Yelu Luan.

The timing of Yelu Luan's appearance was so coincidental that the emperor had no choice but to suspect that the arrow that had just shot at Gu Zezhi came from Yelu Luan.

Yelu Luan: "..."

Of course, he noticed the emperor's skeptical scrutiny, and he secretly hated: Today is really bad.

The wound on his left face felt a burning pain, constantly reminding him that he suffered a big loss.

Yelu Luan twitched the corners of his mouth, and the bloody half of his face was even more sinister and distorted. He said to himself: Next, Gu Zezhi will probably admit that he intended to kill him, but who has any evidence to prove that the arrow was his own? Let it go, what evidence is there to prove that he deliberately attacked him?

At that time, he just saw that Emperor Daqi was attacked by a bear and went up to help, and it was inevitable that he would miss it.

He is the envoy of Yan State, even if Gu Zezhi really died today, as long as there is no evidence to prove that he was "intentional", Emperor Daqi can't do anything to him!

Not to mention, Gu Zezhi is all right now, and he is the one who is really in trouble!

Yelu Luan waited for Gu Zezhi to complain first, and then he could logically ask Gu Zezhi if he held grudges, so he deliberately caused the bear to hurt himself!

No matter what the truth is, the result is here, Gu Zezhi was unscathed, but he was injured, and Emperor Da Qi had to give himself an explanation to the country of Yan.

Thinking of this, Yelu Luan felt happy, and even the wound on his face didn't seem to be so painful.

Their Liangzi has been forged, and he will not let Gu Zezhi go easily.

Yelu Luan looked at Gu Zezhi with burning eyes.

result……

"Your Majesty, can I try him?"

Gu Zezhi raised his hand and pointed at the guard Zheng Feng who was kneeling a few steps away.

Yelu Luan: "?"

Yelu Luan was stunned for a moment, as if the breath that was about to be exhaled was forcefully slapped back, holding it in his chest, unable to go up or down.

The emperor nodded in response.

So, Gu Zezhi rode his horse to Zheng Feng, looked down at him, and the white horse snorted proudly.

Gu Zezhi didn't say a word, but the aloof look in his eyes made Zheng Feng feel a lot of pressure, as if he was being stared at by some beast, as if he would be torn apart by the other party if he moved a little.

The back of Zheng Feng's neck could not help oozing out a thin cold sweat, and his heart couldn't help beating faster and faster.

boom! boom! boom!

In this silent night in the mountains, the heartbeat that echoed in my ears was as loud as a drum.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Zezhi suddenly spoke up, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "The prince is really well-intentioned."

The cold sweat on Zheng Feng soaked his shirt, he swallowed his saliva calmly, raised his chin and said, "Gu San Gongzi, why did you say this!"

"I remember, you have a red birthmark on your right back shoulder, right?"

Gu Zezhi curled his lips into a smile, his smile was always so warm and calm, as if nothing could make him lose his temper.

Zheng Feng looked at Gu Zezhi and frowned, his heart skipped a beat, he wanted to say how did you know, but he changed his words to: "So what?

What if not? "

The smile on Gu Zezhi's lips deepened, "You used to serve as a bodyguard in Duanwang's mansion for two years. In the summer of four years ago, I saw you from a distance in the martial arts field, topless to accompany the prince."

His voice was slow and unhurried, with a certain degree of certainty, a bit of confidence in his heart, elegant and calm, and in stark contrast to Zheng Feng's embarrassment, it was difficult for people to doubt what he said.

"Bullshit!"

Zheng Feng desperately tried to keep himself calm, not to be suppressed by Gu Zezhi's aura, and shouted to the emperor, "Your Majesty's Mingjian, the last general..."

Gu Zezhi raised his hand and made a gesture, so one of the guards who restrained Zheng Feng suddenly pulled his back collar, and a red birthmark the size of a longan was exposed on his right back shoulder.

Gu Zezhi turned his head to look at the emperor, and said again: "Look at the emperor, the red birthmark here is enough to prove that what the minister said is true!"

Zheng Feng's face changed greatly, he was anxious, and he blurted out: "Impossible, I have never entered the palace!"

Gu Zezhi looked at him again, his eyebrows squinted, and with a half-smile, he said, "So, you admit that you were sent by the prince."

Zheng Feng: "..."

He knew that he had been tricked by Gu Zezhi, and he had missed the point!

"You... how did you know?"

Zheng Feng couldn't help but ask.

How did Gu Zezhi know that he was the son of the prince!

Gu Zezhi ignored Zheng Feng and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I've finished my question."

The emperor's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and his voice was slightly deep: "Is he from Duan Wang's mansion?"

Gu Zezhi said bluntly: "I don't know if it belongs to the palace, but it should be from the prince."

"Then how do you know he has a red birthmark."

the emperor asked.

Gu Zezhi glanced at Qin Di with a smile, and said, "Xiao Di's whip just tore off his back collar, and this minister just caught a glimpse."

He just caught a glimpse of the red birthmark on Zheng Feng's body, so he cheated.

This fraud, it is fraud.

Gu Zezhi sighed and muttered to himself: "I have already avoided the capital, and the prince still doesn't want to let me go.

I have no interest in the title of Prince Duan, so why doesn't the prince believe it? "

The corners of the emperor's lips pursed tightly, and his face was not very good-looking.

He noticed that Gu Zezhi only called Gu Chenzhi the eldest son, not "eldest brother", which showed that the relationship between the two brothers was like water and fire.

He couldn't help thinking of the two people caught in Qingyun County, who were also ordered by Prince Duan.

After all, this was the family matter of Duan Wang's mansion. The emperor sent someone to deliver them to Duan Wang. Later, Duan Wang wrote to him saying that he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

The emperor thought that Duan Wang could at least restrain the prince, but he didn't expect it to happen again within two months...

Thinking about it, the emperor once again looked at Yelu Luan who was not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In order to get rid of Gu Zezhi, Prince Duan did not hesitate to cooperate with Yelu Luan?

!

The emperor subconsciously clenched the reins in his hand, and said to himself in his heart, no, Duan Wangfu must change the prince!

Duan Wangfu guards the border and holds heavy troops. For the sake of a prince, Prince Duan even spared his younger brother, which is enough for other ambitions.

And now, he has an inexplicable relationship with Beiyan. Once he gets the military power of Duan Wangfu, will he cooperate with Beiyan and bring wolves into the house for this supreme position?

The emperor's lips pursed even tighter, his face sinking like water, and his whole body released an aura that was not angry and arrogant.

The surroundings fell into silence, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.

The emperor didn't speak, and everyone else was silent. There was only the whirring of the cold wind around, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot again.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor's voice sounded again in the cold night wind:

"Back to the hunting palace."

Now that the sacrificial bears have been hunted, tonight's night hunting can also end early.

As soon as the emperor gave an order, the others immediately took the order, and then performed their respective duties, some to deal with the bear corpse, some to go to the front to open the way, and some to line up behind the emperor.

However, just as the emperor turned his horse around, there was an exclamation from behind: "Zheng Feng! Zheng Feng..."

Immediately afterwards, a guard strode over to the emperor, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Majesty, Zheng Feng has committed suicide!"

The emperor pulled the reins, stopped the horse again, turned his head to look over, and saw that Zheng Feng was lying on the ground with a bloody quarrel, three or four feet away. Several torches around him illuminated his face. The eyeballs were bulging out and covered with bloodshot, turbid and dull, the blood dripping from the corner of the mouth was not red, but black like ink.

Obviously, Zheng Feng was poisoned to death.

The night wind whistled, and the flames on the torches swayed in the wind, casting a strange shadow on the emperor's face, making the emperor's face even more ugly.

"Take the body and go back to the hunting palace."

The emperor dropped this sentence, and then he took the horse's belly and rode his horse to the direction of the hunting palace.

The commander of the guards led a group of guards of the forbidden army to keep up quickly, and the messy hooves sounded particularly loud in this silent mountain forest.

Yelu Luan stood stiffly on the spot, looking at the direction where the emperor left, feeling as if he had been forgotten.

Shouldn't they be questioning themselves?

!

He has already figured out how to respond, and he has already figured out how to make Emperor Da Qi speechless...

However, how did things go in the other direction entirely?

Yelu Luan's blue eyes were as stern as owls, his heart was so depressed as if something was stuck there, and his face became more painful. His wound was still bleeding, and it landed on the grass below "tick tock".

Those small sounds amplified infinitely in his ears, as if someone slapped him slap after slap, making his face so hot and painful.

Yelu Luan had never suffered such a big setback in his life.

Qin Di rode his horse slowly and leisurely past Yelu Luan's side. When he passed by, he deliberately looked down at him, moved his lips, and said silently in a mouth shape: "You deserve it."

Without waiting for Yeluluan to respond, she happily drove her horse towards Gu Zezhi, feeling very happy: The trick to fighting with people is to block them as soon as possible, and don't talk to them. Chance!

Yelu Luan was already holding a sigh of relief, but being provoked by Qin Di, the anger in his heart burned even more, and he said bitterly, "Qin, Di."

His teeth were gritted.

For Qin Di, Yelu Luan has a complicated feeling that can't be explained.

In the beginning, it was because of the compound bow.

On the day of Qianqiu Festival, when he saw the compound bow in the Imperial Garden, he was amazed.

As someone who grew up on horseback, this compound bow was too attractive to him, so he asked Emperor Daqi to marry Qin Di. women are better.

As a result, Emperor Daqi refused.

Yelu Luan was never a person who gave up easily, so when he ran into Qin Ji in a restaurant that day, he seized the opportunity to express his intentions, trying to force her to agree, but Gu Zezhi messed up the situation.

At that time, although Qin Di didn't say anything, Yelu Luan could also guess that it was a silent rejection.

Originally, Yelu Luan was not necessarily Qin Ji, but now it is different...

Yelu Luan stared at Qin Di's smiling profile in front of him.

"Brother, you and General Yu should be the leaders of the night hunt today!"

Qin Di was talking to Gu Zezhi with a smile, and he flicked the whip in his hand, his eyes sparkling.

The emperor said before that the leader of the night hunt today will be rewarded heavily.

Gu Zezhi smiled noncommittally, spread his hands, "Give me the whip."

Gu Zezhi didn't grab the reins, his white horse slowly and leisurely carried the master forward with the reins in his hands.

ah?

! Qin Di watched Gu Zezhi open his mouth slightly, and reluctantly returned the whip.

Gu Zezhi took the whip and fiddled with the red net on the handle of the whip.

Only then did Qin Di notice that the decorative mesh on the whip handle was loosened at some point.

His fingers were slender and white as jade bamboo, with a little red bear blood dipped between them, and skillfully weaved a little loose network. This simple movement was done by him, and there was an indescribable elegance and dexterity. .

After reorganizing the network, Gu Zezhi handed the whip back to Qin Di, "Take it."

Qin Di took it again obediently, the top of her heart trembled slightly, as if something was dripping, making the corners of her lips bend involuntarily.

Yelu Luan looked at Qin Di for a while, and then at Gu Zezhi again, with blue veins appearing on his clenched fists.

It's just a woman, the more he can't get it, the more he wants it.

Since Gu Zezhi values ​​Qin Di so much, he still has to fight with Gu Zezhi!

Hmm, the more challenging things are, the more worthwhile they are, right?

!

Yelu Luan's pupils seemed to be burning with a heroic flame.

After putting the whip on her waist again, Qin Di said with a smile, "Thighs...cough, big brother," she raised her eyebrows and glanced in Zheng Feng's direction, and said tentatively, "That Zheng Feng committed suicide... "She wanted to ask if Zheng Feng's suicide would be bad for Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi: "Thighs?"

Qin Di smiled ingratiatingly, and said solemnly, "This is an honorific title!"

"..." Gu Zezhi looked at her quietly, and when he saw that Qin Di was almost guilty, he said softly, "It's better to die."

Gu Zezhi noticed that Zheng Feng would commit suicide, but he didn't stop him.

It was unusual for a guard of the Imperial Army, who was born in Wuju, to have a bright future, but he could be so loyal to Prince Duan and die like a dead man.

Duan Wangfu has military power, and there is a dead man, and this dead man has been placed in front of the emperor, no matter how enlightened the emperor is, he will be vigilant.

Qin Ji: "?"

Qin Di didn't understand, but since Jin Tau was so powerful, he must have known that someone was plotting against him, so he decided to do it.

Qin Di's thoughts were all revealed on her face, and Gu Zeyi understood it right away, but he didn't smile, and there was a gleam in the bottom of his eyes.

From the moment he discovered "Yin Xiong San", Gu Zezhi deduced that someone was going to deal with him.

Therefore, when the black bear appeared, he was already on guard, so he could successfully take the cold arrow fired by Yelu Luan.

Later, when Zheng Feng revealed his tricks, Gu Zezhi confirmed that the people who wanted his life were not only Yelu Luan, but also Gu Chenzhi, because Beiyan couldn't have placed such a chess piece in the forbidden army, and he would go to martial arts. To enter the Imperial Army, one must at least be a Daqi person whose ancestors have three generations of innocence.

Gu Zezhi didn't intend to explain this to Qin Di, he raised his hand to touch the top of her soft hair, and said with a smile, "Be good."

His word "good" has a bit of a smile and a bit of banter.

Qin Ji: "?"

She is not a child!

Qin Di pursed her lips childishly, raised her hand and rubbed her head, the sticky touch under her hand made her startled.

She quickly put her hand down, only to see a little blood on her white palm.

Dark red, moist, very fresh blood.

Of course she wasn't injured herself, so the blood belonged to Gu Zezhi.

If the blood was the blood of the bears that got on the bears, it's time to do it now.

Could it be that the golden thigh was injured just now?

This thought came to Qin Di's mind, her eyes opened slightly, and she tightened the reins nervously.

"Big brother..." She glanced at Gu Zezhi's right hand, and noticed that not only was there blood between his fingers, but even his riding suit was stained with blood, and it was still on his abdomen!

Qin Di frowned, thinking of the cold arrow that "shot" Gu Zezhi just now, and the broken jade pendant.

Could it be that……

Gu Zezhi also noticed Qin Di's gaze, and followed her line of sight to the pool of blood on his abdomen.

Suddenly understood.

He didn't say anything, just covered his stomach with his right hand...

Qin Di's eyes widened, and he found that more blood spilled from his fingers, which were so dazzlingly red against the background of his white fingers.

Qin Di confirmed that the golden thigh was indeed injured!

Moreover, he should be trying to deceive who, so he deliberately pretended to be okay?

!

Qin Di sat up alertly, and his thoughts turned fast: is he trying to deceive Yelu Luan, or is it his big brother?

!

In any case, Gu Zezhi naturally has his own reasons for doing things, so he can't say it himself!

On the next journey, Qin Di tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and smiled and talked to Gu Zezhi. He didn't dare to look back at Yelu Luan, for fear of being caught by him.

The journey back to the hunting palace was very smooth. When they left the hunting ground, it was not yet the second watch.

After waiting for the hunting platform, the emperor turned his head to look at Yelu Luan, who was riding behind him without saying a word.

The blood on Yelu Luan's left face had solidified, the flesh of the wound was slightly turned up, and half of his face was blurred with blood. Against the backdrop of the jumping flames of the torches, he looked like a ghost.

The emperor said lightly: "Come on, Imperial Physician Xuan will come and show Prince Yelu."

"No need."

Yelu Luan interrupted the emperor's words bluntly, and casually cupped his hands, "I will just apply the medicine myself.

Your Majesty, please excuse me first. "

Saying that, without waiting for the emperor to agree, Yelu Luan pulled the reins and turned away without any hesitation.

Since Yelu Luan said that there is no need to be a doctor, the emperor would not force him, and ordered to the commander of the guards: "Blow the horn."

When people in the hunting ground hear the sound of the horn, they will know that the sacrificed bear has been hit, which means that the night hunting is over today.

Immediately, a guard raised a huge horn, and the whimpering horn resounded through the mountains and forests, and spread far away.

Seeing that the place can't be dispersed for a while, Qin Di glanced at Gu Zezhi, who was still clutching his lower abdomen and looked weak, and thoughtfully pointed in the direction of the pergola and suggested, "Brother, do you want to go there and sit down? ?"

Gu Zezhi nodded, turned over and dismounted.

Qin Di also got off the horse, subconsciously trying to help him, remembering that he "don't want people to find him injured", so he quickly put his hands down and looked at him with concern, for fear that he would lose too much blood.

Gu Zezhi sat down in the pergola. Qin Di first sat opposite him, but he felt that it was not very good. After thinking about it, he asked, "Brother, do you want to drink water?"

Gu Zezhi nodded slightly.

Qin Di ran to Taqing quickly, took off a water bladder from the horse, and ran back quickly.

"Brother, drink water."

Qin Di opened the water bag and handed it over.

The water bladder just stopped in mid-air.

Gu Zezhi's left elbow rested on the stone table, his left hand supported his face, and his right hand covered his abdomen.

Qin Ji: "?"

Qin Di resigned and took another step towards him, leaned over and brought the mouth of the water bag to his lips, carefully holding the bottom of the water bag, and said again, "Brother, drink water."

After serving Gu Zezhi and drinking a few sips of water, Qin Di asked again, "Want something to eat?"

Although today was the hunting ground after dinner, Qin Di thought, Gu Zezhi will have to fight wit and courage tonight, and he must have consumed a lot of calories.

Now that I am injured again, I need to eat more to make up for it.

Gu Zezhi: "Alright."

So, Qin Di ran to Taqing again, took off a leather side bag from the horse, and ran back.

Qin Di rummaged in his bag and took out several bottles one after another...

Gu Zezhi: "..." How much did this girl bring when she went to the hunting ground?

He looked at it with great interest, raised his finger to a white jade jar that was only half the size of his palm, and asked casually, "What is this?"

"Mint leaf."

Qin Di glanced at it and replied, "Chew a slice after eating."

Keep your breath fresh!

"what about this?"

"Lu... I mean elephant trunk grass."

Aloe vera is also called elephant trunk grass. If you are bitten by insects, you can apply it.

Having said that, Qin Di took out a small box from the leather bag.

This box is also the size of a bowl, and there are not many snacks that can be put in it, only six pieces in total.

She originally thought that most of the night hunting would have to stay up all night. She was afraid that she would be hungry, so she brought a box.

Qin Di remembered that he didn't like too sweet food, so he took a piece of rose cake with a handkerchief and handed it to his mouth.

"Brother, this is delicious."

Gu Zezhi took a bite of the rose cake with her hand.

The rose cake is soft and sweet, with a little rose fragrance, and the taste is really good.

Qin Di also ate a piece of peach blossom cake.

She picked up the water bag and subconsciously wanted to take a sip of water, but as soon as the water bag was brought to her lips, she suddenly remembered what Gu Zezhi had just drank, and put down the water bag stiffly, pretending that nothing happened. "Haha" he laughed dryly and said again: "Brother, why don't you go to the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Don't take it seriously like that Yelu Luan. He is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so let's not compare him."

"Or, do you have the medicine for golden sore yourself?

I'll get it for you, okay? "

Qin Di remembered that he should have medicine for gold sores or something. When he first saw him in Yaoqing County, he had injuries on his body, and the injuries were not minor. He had not taken care of it properly.

Gu Zezhi ate another piece of rose cake with her handkerchief on, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is it called an imperial physician?"

There was a faint smile in his voice.

Qin Di: "You are hurt."

It's not good to avoid diseases and doctors!

Gu Zezhi looked at her with a smile, his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, and it seemed that her heartbeat had stopped.

The next moment, he saw Gu Zezhi spread his right hand in front of him and said, "Is this hurt?"

In the center of his right palm was a small crack, only about an inch and a half long. The crack was a little deep, and blood continued to seep out, but this was definitely not a serious injury.

Qin Ji: "?"

At that moment, Qin Di seemed to understand something, and his eyes widened.

Golden Thigh is pretending to be hurt and cheating to eat and drink?

!
