Chapter 190: Rebellious Son! He Should Have Been Strangled to Death at Birth

This bastard, was waiting for them here?

Just say that Liu Cong and Yong'an Hou are not on good terms, so how could they not do something? Well, here we come!

This Liu Chong is really bold. He did this not far from the gate of the capital. He is so unscrupulous and fearless!

Yin Zhengnan was furious: "This bastard doesn't even take me seriously. I am the eldest princess's..."

He was halfway through his words when the north wind blew them away. The horse became restless and Yin Zhengnan was unable to finish his next words.

What is there to say? It was Yin Zhengnan himself who wanted to break away from his mother's control, and now he is bringing up the Grand Princess. What does that mean?

Yin Zhengnan said nothing, but looked at Gu Zixuan angrily: "What should we do now?!"

It was pitch black all around, and all that could be seen of the barren mountains and wilderness was a blanket of white.

Even if Gu Zixuan unfolded the map, he didn't know where he was. The road was buried in the snow, and the traces of the large group in front were also buried. They were completely lost.

The most urgent task now is to catch up with the main force and return to the camp, otherwise, something bad will happen in this heavy snowstorm tonight.

Gu Zixuan looked back at the escorting soldiers and asked loudly in the wind: "Does anyone know the way to the camp?"

The escorts were all new recruits. They looked at each other and shook their heads when they heard what was said.

"Sir, this is our first time out of the capital."

"Yes, sir, let's go quickly. It's getting colder and colder. If we can't find the campsite, we will all freeze to death."

It's bearable during the day, but unbearable at night, it's too cold.

Yin Zhengnan's brows were knitted tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know I have to hurry to the camp, but you don't even know the way, what the hell are you going to do!"

In this snowstorm, even a map is useless. How can we get around?

Yin Zhengnan was so angry that he cursed.

In the capital, no one dared to tease me as the eldest princess's youngest son. But outside the capital, no one cared who gave birth to me. As long as the emperor himself was not leading the army, no one would take a newcomer seriously.

"Are we going to be blamed as soon as we leave the capital?"

Yin Zhengnan was furious. He had originally wanted to go out and make achievements, but who would have thought that instead of achieving anything, he would be punished first. He was really pissed off.

Gu Zixuan rode on horseback, his handsome features expressionless. He held the reins with one hand, his dark eyes observing quietly in the wind and snow. His blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind and snow.

"Are there any old horses?"

Gu Zixuan looked back at the team.

The young man in the lead, Song Jieying, said, "Yes, the two horses in the front are old horses."

Gu Zixuan dismounted and came over to check carefully. Judging from their teeth, these two horses must be at least ten years old.

Without saying a word, he untied the ropes and released the two horses.

"grown ups!"

Song Yingjie was stunned: "This is a military horse. If you let it go without permission, you will be punished!"

Gu Zixuan said coldly: "Do you have any other way to find the camp?"

Song Yingjie shut up completely. He really had no idea what to do as he didn't know the way.

"Everyone, follow the old horse. The old horse knows the way and will definitely find the way!"

This sounded reasonable. Everyone looked at each other and finally followed.

In the wind and snow ahead, Liu Chong was also leading his men towards the camp.

The so-called camp is a stationed troop, but there are not many people, and it is mostly used for passing troops to rest and reorganize.

The escort officer looked at the food and supplies that had long disappeared, and subconsciously asked, "Sir, there won't be any problems with the food and supplies, right?"

"Hmph, it would be better if something goes wrong. I don't want such a young man. I can use this as an excuse to drive them back to the capital!"

Liu Cong really looked down on these two guys. He had deliberately arranged what happened today in order to make these two kids give up and then go back to where they came from.

He looked down on Yong'an Hou and Gu Changqing, thinking that the whole family was just empty talk. Naturally, he also looked down on the young Gu Zixuan. What's wrong with the third place in the imperial examination? A weak scholar couldn't go to the battlefield, especially since Yin Zhengnan was the youngest son of the eldest princess. This was the biggest trouble.

Gu Zixuan and Yin Zhengnan are just a burden, it’s best to get rid of them.

But what Liu Chong didn't expect was that when he arrived at the camp, Gu Zixuan was already waiting at the door.

Liu Cong: …

???

What's going on? Is he stuck in a maze? Is he back to square one? ?

Liu Cong subconsciously looked back and found that he had not taken the wrong path, but how did the person he had left behind run ahead of him?

"you……"

Gu Zixuan interrupted Liu Chong and said, "General, the snowstorm disrupted the formation. The food and supplies arrived ahead of schedule without any loss. Please check them."

With a word that the wind and snow were too heavy, the snow was blown away lightly. No one knew how Gu Zixuan got here. However, Song Yingjie and the other new recruits who were escorting baggage and food knew that the old horse knew the way and took them a shortcut.

Liu Cong didn't know how to ask any more questions. He checked again and found that the number was correct. It was not until this moment that Liu Cong looked at Gu Zixuan seriously.

He was not as panic-stricken as others. He was calm and composed. Even though the wind and snow were blowing, the young man still stood tall.

Humph, Gu Zixuan, he’s just okay, a little bit better than his father.

Liu Cong snorted coldly, turned around and left, ordering them to set up camp.

The soldiers who had been traveling in the wind and snow finally got a chance to catch their breath. They hid in the tents, warmed themselves by the fire, and enjoyed the rare warmth.

The deputy general said on the side: "This Gu Zixuan is an outlier, completely different from his father."

Liu Cong roasted the fire without saying a word.

"Sir, why don't we leave them both behind?"

After a while, Liu Cong said calmly, "Before we reach Hexi, temporarily order the two of them to escort the grain and grass."

The deputy general couldn't help but smile, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Liu Chong's trouble is nothing.

In Gu Zixuan's opinion, nothing is more cruel than the battlefield in the northwest. If people are anxious over such a small matter, then what's the point of fighting?

After being appointed as the deputy general to escort grain and grass, Gu Zixuan did not say much. He just did whatever the general asked him to do. His mother asked him to be careful about Liu Cong, so he just did it.

In an instant, the boy seemed to have grown up a lot, and even Yin Zhengnan, who was eating next to him, felt that Gu Zixuan seemed to be more silent and calm.

"What are you thinking about?" Yin Zhengnan asked cautiously.

Gu Zixuan stared at the flickering campfire, watching the wood crackle and explode, splashing out sparks.

"I wonder how many people I can kill with my pen-holding hands."

He wasn't fighting for himself.

He did it for his mother, for his younger siblings, and then for himself.

**

In the capital, Princess Zhao Yingqiao saw the letter left by her son and became furious.

"This rebellious child should have been strangled to death when he was born!"

Zhao Yingqiao cursed but was extremely worried in her heart.

After all, if you die in my own hands, at least you will have an intact body!

"Yin Qing, your good son!"
