While the three of them were talking, Gu Yichen and Lin Jinan, who had arrived after a long journey, opened the curtain and did not bother to salute and speak to Gu Hongzhang. They panted heavily and looked directly at Gu Ruizhou with their eyes, and strode forward. .
One person grabbed Gu Ruizhou's arm and looked him up and down. Lin Jinan said excitedly:
"We just entered the camp. We heard that you were back, and we still couldn't believe it. Cousin, are you injured?"
Gu Yichen: "Brother, our road in Jizhou was destroyed by floods. We received the news a few days late. We didn't dare to rest along the way for fear that something might happen to you... It's great to have you back."
Gu Ruizhou took out his hands and put them on the shoulders of his two younger brothers, looking at them and laughing:
"You must be worried about me these days. Nothing has happened to me, but you two have lost a lot of weight and become darker."
The three brothers gathered around and had a conversation. After they calmed down, Gu Yichen and Lin Jinan stepped forward to salute Gu Hongzhang.
"Grandpa, Dad, we heard that my eldest brother was back just after we entered the camp. We were so happy that we didn't even bother to say hello to you two elders."
"Grandpa, uncle, I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
Seeing this, Gu Qingyun pushed his untouched meal to Lin Jinan, smiled and opened the curtain and ordered the soldiers to prepare the meal and deliver it.
Gu Hongzhang also pushed his food to Gu Yichen. After a few people sat down, Gu Hongzhang asked:
"Did you two leave Jizhou privately?"
Gu Yichen wolfed down and raised his head: "Grandpa, how can your grandson be so unreliable? He only left after making an agreement with the young prince."
Lin Jinan also said with a mouthful of rice: "Yes, grandpa, how could we leave privately? The young prince was worried before leaving, and even sent ten guards to see us off."
Gu Hongzhang was completely relieved after hearing this, and Gu Ruizhou poured water for the two of them:
"Eat slowly. I haven't seen you for more than a month. How can you be so bold in your eating habits?"
Lin Jinan: "My eldest cousin, you don't know. My second cousin and I were often hungry when we were in Jizhou. In the place where the disaster was the worst, the refugees were so hungry that they ate raw human flesh. The feeling of hunger is so uncomfortable that I will never do it again." It’s a waste of food.”
Gu Hongzhang frowned and said, "The imperial court is distributing disaster relief food. Although it won't let those of you who are traveling with you eat delicious food, it won't make you hungry, right?"
Gu Yichen: "There are regulations for the distribution of disaster relief food, and the number of victims must be counted and distributed according to specifications. During this period, many people can only wait. Although there is porridge, it can only sustain their lives and cannot fill their stomachs. An'er and I put our own The meals were distributed to the victims."
When Gu Hongzhang and Gu Qingyun heard this, their eyes were filled with relief. It seemed that this disaster relief trip was worthwhile.
Gu Hongzhang turned to look at Gu Ruizhou:
"That dense forest stretches for hundreds of miles and is located on the side of the Mobei Military Camp. As generals, your father and I have to focus on the overall situation and cannot allocate enough manpower to search for it in the forest."
Gu Ruizhou: "Grandpa, my grandson is also a member of the army. How could he not know that he should not be emotional when the two armies are fighting? If my grandfather and father sent a large number of people to look for me deep in the jungle, and fell into the trap of Lu Sang, then what would happen? He has set up countless mechanisms and formations deep in the dense forest. The earliest ones were set up three years ago. If you enter rashly, you will suffer heavy losses.".81z.ćőr/>Gu Qingyun: "It started three years ago? Then you can come back and pay back What a blessing."
Gu Ruizhou: "Actually, I and about 20 brothers were forced into a desperate situation. It was only thanks to my friends who came to rescue us that we escaped."
