Chapter 91 Gone
After Gu Chengze left, Yu's mother helped her clean the dirt from under her body. In the evening, Gu Chengze did not leave, and Li Zheng winked at him but he ignored her.
After seeing everyone leave, Li Zheng asked him, "Why are you still staying here?" This was the delivery room, and there was no place for him to sleep.
"I'll keep you company." Gu Chengze looked at Li Zheng tenderly. He looked a little hesitant but still said, "Sorry, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Although Li Zheng knew that he couldn't stay for too long, she didn't expect it to be so sudden. "So sudden?"
Gu Chengze looked apologetic and said, "Well, the general approved it for half a month. I'm sorry I can't spend more time with you."
Li Zheng shook her head, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "No, you're already fine." She knew that the King of Qi's army was now approaching the capital. It would take less than half a month to get from there to here at a gallop. He must have run back very hard to stay here for a day.
Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, Gu Chengze wiped them away gently. "What's wrong? Why do you cry so easily now that you're a mother?" Gu Chengze said in a relaxed tone, trying to lighten the mood before leaving.
When Li Zheng heard this, she pulled his hand away in disgust. She didn't know what was going on. Ever since she became pregnant, she had become much softer-hearted and always cried when she saw something.
Seeing this, Gu Chengze coaxed her, "Okay, I won't tell you." He squeezed onto Li Zheng's bed.
Li Zheng also shrank back to make some room for him. The two of them didn't say anything more, just stayed quietly with each other, but in their hearts, they were reluctant to leave. Li Zheng's eyelids gradually drooped. She had consumed too much energy today and had long since collapsed. She just wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Seeing that she was fast asleep, Gu Chengze stood up, carefully pulled the quilt over her, and kissed her forehead gently, with such piety and promise. Even if he was reluctant, it was time to say goodbye. He turned around and looked at the child in the stroller beside him. He reached out and touched him, but it seemed to make him uncomfortable and he frowned. Seeing this, Gu Chengze immediately withdrew his hand. He looked at the mother and child again, took out a letter from his arms and placed it next to the pillow. Then he left in the dark.
Outside the city, Gu Chengze rode his horse, whipping the horse whip non-stop, his expression becoming more and more resolute, as if he had made up his mind.
As soon as Li Zheng woke up and turned around to see no one beside her, she knew that the man had left. He didn't like saying goodbye. Feeling the tears coming out again, she quickly took a deep breath to hold them back. How could she become so sentimental?
…
General Wang was walking around the tent at this time. He stopped and asked, "Has Chengze not returned yet?"
Qin You took a step forward and clenched his fist, "Reply General, not yet."
"How many days have passed?" Recently, the King of Wei's army has been stirring and ready to attack. Although their camp has many more people than the King of Wei, they still have to take it seriously. After all, the King of Wei is not a pushover. Whoever can sit on that throne now is also no ordinary person.
"It's the fourteenth."
"The fourteenth. If you don't return tomorrow, you will be subject to military court." General Wang knew that the prince had given him a chance, but even though the prince had given the prince face, he still said that if he couldn't return in time, he would be subject to military court. General Wang was also in a dilemma and just hoped that he could return quickly. "Okay, generals, please take a seat. Let's discuss how to besiege the King of Wei."
Qin You also sat at the table, appearing to be listening, but his eyes kept looking outside. Gu Chengze, Gu Chengze, you have to hurry up, otherwise the general can't save you.
At this time, Gu Chengze was still riding his horse and was not far from the military camp. The guards of the military camp saw him and immediately shouted: "Open the gate! General Gu is back." Instantly, the city gate opened wide and Gu Chengze rode in.
At this time, the generals had just finished their discussion. Qin You looked at Gu Chengze, waved to him, and walked over. "Well, you're lucky, kid. Military regulations can't punish you this time." He looked regretful.
Gu Chengze just replied and was still not very clear about what had happened recently. He asked Qin You: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Um, nothing. By the way, when you come back, tell the general first and don't let him worry." It would be better to go back and talk about this. It's not good with so many people coming and going outside.
"Okay, I got it. Take this back." Gu Chengze took off his sword and threw it to Qin You before going to General Wang's tent. The military camp had rules that weapons were not allowed into the general's tent.
Qin You took the sword, touched it happily, and said in a happy tone, "Okay." He hoped that General Wang would delay him for a while so that he could go back and try it carefully.
Seeing Qin You holding Gu Chengze's sword, his colleagues who hadn't left yet also wanted to try it out. They were about to step forward and ask if he could try it too, but Qin You ran away with the sword the moment he saw him. He was so angry. He didn't know where Gu got such a good sword. The generals who used other weapons were fine, but they, who also used swords, were extremely jealous. It was really like slicing through mud.
Qin You knew the man wanted to borrow his sword as soon as he saw him, but he didn't want to! He hadn't had enough fun yet! Fortunately, he ran fast.
General Wang was also happy to see that Gu Chengze had returned. "How is it? Let's go back."
"General, everything is fine!"
General Wang stepped forward and helped him up. "That's good. Go back and rest. You've been busy for half a month. You'll be busy tomorrow!"
"Yes! General." General Wang looked at Gu Chengze's back as he left and fell into deep thought. How could the prince not use such a good seedling? Instead, he was a little bit, how can I put it, subtle.
When Gu Chengze returned, he saw several daggers and Qin You waving his sword, so he knew that this was the guy who did it again.
Qin You saw him come in and asked him, "Hey, where did you get this sword? Can I get another one?"
Gu Chengze glanced at him, took the sword from his hand, and said, "Yes, but you probably can't have it."
Qin You disagreed when he heard this, "What's wrong with me? The person who forged this sword also looked at my appearance. I may not be as good as you, but I have a better temper than you. Tell me quickly, I will definitely find a way to get that person to forge a good sword for me."
Gu Chengze picked up the sword and wiped it with a cloth, trying to erase Qin You's traces. "That person is my wife."
Qin You was a little confused when he heard this. "Isn't your wife a good cook and a good doctor? When did she learn how to cast?"
Gu Chengze didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows. Is it still him, Qin You, who still doesn't understand this? "Well, you kid, you are so lucky to have someone like that by your side. He can cook, heal, and forge weapons. It's really a good cabbage being taken away by a pig."
