Chapter 406 You Don’t Understand
Ah Nian, does "Gu Ying Cheng" sound nice? How do you write the character "Gu"?
Just one line, thirteen words, folded into a small letter, and galloped north along the horse-drawn highway.
Now, the people living along the way were all shocked.
They were used to seeing messengers riding fast horses coming from the north and rushing south every day. This was the first time they saw messengers coming from the south.
The love story of Huo Gannian and Yun Chen has long been widely circulated thanks to the exaggeration of folk storytellers.
The news of their breakup was also widely circulated.
Therefore, after the breakup, Huo Gannian paid for it out of his own pocket, hired his own messengers, and personally opened up the fastest straight horse racing channel from the Luojiang desert. Wherever Yun Chen went, the channel would be built there, and the sound of "ding ding" horse bells would follow. This story is known to everyone.
At first, the letter arrived in half a day, and later it arrived in a day.
By now, as the Lion Army and the Tiger Army were fighting their own battles and were stationed further and further away, it took three days and three nights for the letter to be sent from the Luojiang Desert to Guying City, galloping day and night.
But no matter it was windy or rainy, no matter whether he was injured during the battle or was too exhausted to stand up straight after the battle, Huo Gan never missed a day of reading the letter.
But there was never a reply.
People all say that General Huo is pitiful. He has poured his love into a stubborn stone and no one knows when he will be able to warm it up.
Now, nearly four months have passed, and "Stubborn Stone" has finally responded.
Looking at the horse galloping along the road all the way to the Luojiang Desert, the onlookers couldn't help but cheer in surprise.
Even the messengers were so excited that they rode their horses as fast as they could and rushed into the Lion Power Army camp, wishing they could ride directly into Huo Gannian's tent.
"Who is it?" The soldiers of the Lion Army pulled up the lasso at the entrance of the camp and stopped the messenger.
The messenger hurriedly reined in his horse, sweating profusely, and said anxiously:
"A letter from Guying City! A letter from Guying City!"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then he threw away the lasso and shouted towards the camp:
"General Kaiyun has sent a letter!!!"
After this shout, there was a moment of silence, and then the whole camp exploded:
"Boss Yun has sent a letter!"
"Cloud Tiger finally replied!!"
"Thank God! Thank you! Thank you for the good news, brother Xinbing!!"
"Forget about the rhyming! Hurry up and serve the messengers some food and wine! Bring out the bounty!"
The soldiers were excited and the noise gradually became louder.
To them, Huo Gannian is "Dad" and Yun Chen is "Mother". Don't they hope that the Lion Army and the Tiger Army can reconcile and charge into battle like before?
The noise soon reached the general's tent.
Huo Gannian was discussing matters with Duan Jie and Ye Yan in the tent, and was writing down the next strategic deployment.
Hearing the commotion outside, Huo Gannian stopped writing and frowned unhappily:
"What's going on? Where is my military law?"
Before Duan Jie and Ye Yan could reply, the messenger had already reined in his horse in front of the tent. Without passing on the message, he rushed directly into the tent and said excitedly:
"General Huo! Letter from Guying City!"
Huo Gannian looked at the messenger quietly, motionless, but the pen fell straight from his hand.
Ye Yan jumped up happily, took the letter, tore it open, and presented it to Huo Gannian:
"Young Master! Look what's written? Achen's reply!!"
Huo Gannian grabbed the letter and stared at the words on it with wide eyes. His lips trembled slightly and his eyelashes fluttered.
Duan Jie asked anxiously beside him: "What did you write? What did you write? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing Huo Gannian just staring at the letter with red eyes without saying a word, Duan Jie was extremely curious and leaned over to take a look, puzzled:
"What does this mean? I'm asking you how to write the word 'gu'? Isn't it written on the letter paper? And she wrote it herself!"
Huo Gannian did not answer.
He read the letter over and over again, then folded it carefully in half.
Because my hands were shaking so much, it took me several tries to align the edge of the paper.
He placed the letter against his chest, his voice choked with sobs, yet filled with unconcealed panic and ecstasy:
"You don't understand."
