Chapter 18 Gao Yang was captured (follow-up)

As we arrived at the outside of Pushan Village, there was no people here, and we were about to walk into the village and the sound of footsteps immediately came. There were still a lot of people. Gu Qing looked up and saw seven or eight masked men rushing over with their knives.

Seeing the knife in the other party's hand, Gu Qing shouted, "Come into the village and shout for someone!"

Gao Yang was about to run away in panic and stopped again, "What about you!"

"Your Highness Princess, where are you going?" A tall Turkic stopped in front of Gao Yang.

Several Turkic people stepped forward and chopped down the palace maids and coachman beside Gao Yang.

"She is not a princess, you have recognized the wrong person." Gu Qing said quickly.

"Are you really not a princess?" the other party asked aggressively, "We followed you out of the palace all the way, stop pretending! You are the princess."

"You are here to catch me, let Gu Qing go!" Gao Yang said with a firm look on his face.

The other party smiled, "I originally wanted to catch a princess, but I didn't expect that Gu Qing, you are here too."

Gu Qing saw that face clearly in the moonlight, and was the Turkic envoy. "You will regret your actions at this moment for life."

"I heard from Songzan Gampo that Princess Gaoyang is the princess whom the king of the Tang Dynasty loves the most, and you Gu Qing is the talented young man whom the king of the Tang Dynasty valued the most!" The Turkic envoy had a hideous face, "You two should be very valuable. You must use you to threaten the king of the Tang Dynasty to achieve twice the result with half the effort. I thought that a princess might not be enough, but it seems that it is good luck today."

Gu Qing protected Gao Yang behind him, "Let the princess, I will give you the method of making explosives."

"No! We must take you both." As he said that, several Turkic people tied up Gu Qing and were about to take him away.

Looking at the sparks in the village in front of him, Gu Qing opened his throat and shouted to the village, "Yang Sheng!"

The voice echoed in the village for a long time, and a piece of cloth was stuffed into Gu Qing's mouth, "Give me peace of mind, or I'll kill you!"

"Don't touch me!" Gao Yang struggled.

The two were thrown into a broken temple, bang! The door was closed, and the Turkic people outside were talking in Turkic words, and they couldn't understand at all. There were only two people left in the dark Taoist temple. Gu Qing was stuffed with a cloth head in his mouth. Seeing the darkness around him moving his body hard, he touched Gao Yang's hand with the cloth in his mouth.

In the darkness, Gao Yang looked back at Gu Qing.

"Wuwuwu..." Gu Qing signaled.

Gao Yang understood and moved his body and held the cloth head in Gu Qing's mouth with his hands.

Gu Qing raised his head back and fell out, and he took a few breaths, stretched his head and slowly leaned his mouth towards the cloth head in Gao Yang's mouth.

His face became tighter and tighter. Gao Yang could even feel Gu Qing's breathing. His face turned red until his ears, and he didn't dare to move.

His body was tied up, and Gu Qing wanted to bite off the cloth head in Gao Yang's mouth, but he bite the air but kissed Gao Yang's face.

Gao Yang's face turned redder now. Gu Qing adjusted his position and finally bit off the cloth head in Gao Yang's mouth this time, "Gao Yang, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Gao Yang's words were choked, his voice trembling and his eyes were obviously very scared.

Gu Qing moved his body and looked outside at the crack in the door. He could only see three Turkic people guarding under the moonlight. Where did the remaining few go, it seemed that there was no chance of not being able to escape.

The curfew in Chang'an that night had been lifted, and a Turkic man shouted to the top of Chang'an city, "Princess Gaoyang and Gu Qing are already in our hands, telling the Tang Dynasty to replace people with explosives!"

After saying that, the Turks rode their horses and left, and the news was immediately sent to Li Er's ears.

"What a Turkic bandit!" Li Er roared, "Send the Zuo Wuwei Guard to find someone immediately!"

The news spread like a plague. Li Chengqian learned the news and Li Tai also learned the news...

In the broken temple, Gu Qing bit off Gao Yang's hairpin. These Turks did not take the hairpin and spit it on the ground and then picked it up with their hands. Gu Qing used the hairpin to cut the rope behind him that tied his hands behind him.

Gao Yang looked at Gu Qing's movements and waited silently for Gu Qing to cut the rope.

The door was pushed open, and a Turkic man came in with a smile and his eyes were filled with desire, "The princess of the Tang Dynasty is so tender, let me try it."

"Don't touch me!" Gao Yang shouted!

"When did you take off the cloth head? Shut up!" the Turkic people roared.

Gu Qing felt that the rope was about to be cut off, and his hands broke the rope with force, and the moment the Turks focused on Princess Gaoyang.

Gu Qing suddenly stepped forward and stabbed the Turkic man in the throat with a hairpin, gritted his teeth and poked it again and again until the other party was lying on the ground, covering his throat, struggling with blood flowing.

"What's wrong!" The Turks outside heard something wrong.

Gu Qing stood in front of Gao Yang with a bloody hairpin.

Seeing his man lying on the ground, blood flowed, the Turkic man raised his feet and kicked Gu Qing in the abdomen, cursing Turkic words.

Gu Qing gritted his teeth, a blood rushing in his chest, and a sweet mouthful of blood was spitting out.

"Gu Qing!" Gao Yang shouted.

The Turkic people knocked Gao Yang unconscious with the handle of the knife, and walked towards him with a fierce look on their faces. Gu Qing turned around step by step with the hairpin tightly in his hand, ready to fight for his life.

puff!

A knife suddenly pierced the Turkic man's chest. When he fell down, Gu Qing saw Yang Sheng breathing a sigh of relief, "Why did you come? I almost died."

"You can't see the steps at night." Yang Sheng put away his knife and said, "Are you injured?"

Gu Qing nodded and gritted his teeth and helped him up to untire Gao Yang.

Five or six other Turkic people also surrounded him, and Yang Sheng handed Gu Qing a pistol, "Wu Mei gave it to me."

Gu Qing held the pistol and had the confidence to load the bullet. He saw several Turkic people rushing up, picking up the pistol and firing it. Bang! A gunshot knocked down one.

Yang Sheng fought with several Turks, and Gu Qing shot several more shots.

The other party also noticed the pistol in Gu Qing's hand and fired and retreated. There were many people around him, all of whom were from the Qing Gang around the village, all of whom were holding knives.

The pain in his chest made Gu Qing unable to stand. He sat against the wall and kept bleeding from his mouth. Looking at the night sky, am I going to die? How did it end? The fighting scene in front of him was blurred in vision. Gu Qing wanted to lift the pistol again and could no longer lift it, and even breathing became difficult.

"Are you okay?" Yang Sheng shouted to Gu Qing.

Before he could say anything, Gu Qing fainted.

When I regained my consciousness and opened my eyes with difficulty, the first glance of my eyes was the colorful bird. I was alive, but I was still alive.

"Husband?"

It was Wu Mei's voice. When she turned around and looked at Wu Mei's haggard face, she looked at herself worriedly. She shouted outside the house, "Master! Master! Gu Qing is awake!"

Sun Simiao hurried into the room and began to take Gu Qing's pulse. "It's better to have a good rest for a while. He suffered a serious internal injury. Now his blood and energy in his body are not smooth and he needs to be well treated. He will take medicine for his master to excrete blood stasis in his body." Gu Qing said to Wu Mei's haggard face, "Master said, I'm fine, be good! Put away the tears."

The more I said that, Wu Meilihua cried again with the rain, "Husband, I'm afraid you will never wake up again. The imperial doctor in the palace has come several times, and my husband has been in a coma for three days."

"Three days..." Gu Qing struggled to sit up from the bed, "Has I been in a coma for so long?"

"I'll call His Highness King Wei and Young Master Cheng. They have been waiting outside for a day." Wu Mei said, "They will come to wait for you to wake up every day and go back every night."

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Call them in, I'm hungry."

"Yeah!" Wu Mei nodded, "I'll go and make something to eat."

Wu Mei walked out of the house and lay on the bed. Gu Qing felt much more at ease when she smelled the familiar smell of the home. This was the first time she had suffered such severe injuries since she was a child. She felt so dying. Looking back now, she was scared. Looking at the bird beside her, she also looked at herself curiously. Gu Qing looked at this very human bird. Now it was only the size of a sparrow, but its tail had grown some tails. The feathers were colorful and beautiful in their eyes. The golden color had a hint of blue.

"Are you really a phoenix?" Gu Qing asked it.

"Chirp!" the little bird cried twice.

Shennongjia, Shennong disciple, Gu Qing looked at the bird with these questions all over his mind. Who is that mysterious old man? What is Shennong disciple's ability? There are a lot of questions in his mind.

"Chirp!" It screamed twice, flapped its wings and flew up, flew out of the window and left its sight.

Li Tai hurriedly walked in, "Gu Qing, you are sure to be awake."

"I've been in a coma for three days?" Gu Qing thought of something, "How is the matter in the court?"

"It's all done. We won't marry the princess anymore." Li Tai said, "It's good that you wake up. You don't know how worried my father is in these three days."

"How are those Turkic people?" Gu Qing asked again.

"We want to ask you again," Chen Chumo said, "When Zuo Wuwei found you and Gao Yang, the bloodstains on the ground only found a Turkic corpse. Gao Yang said it was the one you stabbed to death, but the bodies of other Turkic people could not be found, and then you were carried back by a ranger."

"Ranker?" Gu Qing knew it was Yang Sheng who made it. Because of the pistol, Yang Sheng had already dealt with the corpse, and their existence could only be covered by Rangers. "I remember that more than a dozen Rangers saved me, but fortunately they passed by."

"You should recover from your injuries, I'll tell my father that you are awake." Li Tai said.

"Wait a minute." Gu Qing hurriedly got up, "Where are the Tubo people."

Until now, Gu Qing still remembers that the Turks wanted to tie Gao Yang up because Songtsen Gampo suggested.

"Songzan Gampo left last night." Li Tai said, "Gaoyang said that the reason why the Turks did this this time was related to Tubo! The father is now angry with Tubo, but the Turkic envoy died in the Tang Dynasty. The Turkic envoy assassinated the princess of the Tang Dynasty. This matter will not be forgotten. People have been sent to the Turkic ones."

Li Tai said a lot to Gu Qing. This time the marriage was left unresolved, and made an agreement with Nanzhao that the envoys of Nanzhao could allow the people of Nanzhao to come to the Tang Dynasty to learn culture. At the same time, Songtsen Gampo had long left Chang'an because of the assassination of the princess. Li Er issued an order to ask Yuchi Jingde, who was originally stationed in Songzhou, to lead troops to help Tuyuhun regain territory. Li Er's idea was to support Tuyuhun to make Tuyuhun a buffer zone for Tubo, Tang and Turkic parties, and Tuyuhun has now bowed to the Tang ministers.

I have to say that Li Er's decision was very clever, because Tuyuhun's geographical location was very good, and he could send troops to the Turks in the north, and he could march towards Tubo through the Hexi Corridor, and he could also extend his hands to the Western Regions. The Tuyuhun triangle area can be fully utilized.

The Tang Dynasty will definitely garrison troops in Tuyuhun, and the number will definitely not be small!

At the same time, 100,000 troops were added to the northwest border to prevent the sudden attacks between Tubo and Turks. This time, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks and Tubo ended.

Li Tai and Cheng Chumo sat for a while before leaving.

Wu Mei brought the porridge, "Husband, let's have some porridge."

Gu Qing took the porridge and looked, "Ripe porridge?"

"Yeah!" Wu Mei nodded, "I have also added some medicinal materials to replenish qi and blood. Master said that your internal injuries are very serious. Don't go on duty these days, you need to rest."

Gu Qing was eating pork rib porridge.

Wu Mei said again, "Princess Gaoyang has been here several times, but I heard that she was already confined by His Majesty yesterday, so I am afraid she will not be able to see her husband today."

"What happened that night?" Gu Qing thought of the pistol.

"That night, Yang Sheng was helping the master to pack herbs, and he heard a vague shouting." Wu Mei packed up Gu Qing's clean bowl, "Yang Sheng immediately heard your voice, thinking something was wrong, but I felt inexplicably panic in my heart, so she gave Yang Sheng the pistol to prevent accidents."

Gu Qing nodded, "Where is the pistol?"

Wu Mei said as she took out a pistol from the hidden compartment on the wall in the house and handed it to Gu Qing.

Holding the pistol in his hand, Gu Qing said again, "Don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I understand." Wu Mei said, "Husband, Princess Changle has also visited you several times, she is very worried about you."

"You haven't had a good sleep these days, right?" Gu Qing looked at her.

"I dare not sleep." Wu Mei said, "My husband wakes up and needs someone to take care of him."

"Let's sleep for a while." Gu Qing said to her, "I'm fine, don't worry!"

As Gu Qing said this, Wu Mei still stood up worriedly, "I'll help my master get medicine. After my husband drinks the medicine, I'll go to bed again."

I felt a little sorry for Wu Mei, the little girl. Wu Mei was only fourteen years old, so she helped her support a family. Wu Mei was doing the things at home alone.

After two days of rest, Gu Qing can get out of bed and walk around. Today, Yao Jin and Qin Qiong also come to visit him.

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Good boy, he's so lucky!"

"Drag Uncle Cheng's blessing." Gu Qing said with a smile.

Qin Qiong also said, "Gu Qing, do you know who saved you?"

Gu Qing's actions of pouring tea paused for a moment and said, "I don't know a few passers-by rangers."

Qin Qiong was skeptical about this, and Cheng Yaojin said again, "Why haven't the old man from this room come yet?"

"Is the teacher coming too?" Gu Qing looked outside the house and saw Fang Xuanling coming, hurried out to greet him, "Student, pay homage to the teacher."
