Fanglu Between the Green Cliffs
Chapter 9
Two months later.
Guangxi Mongolian Autonomous Yunnan Army Camp.
The war situation gradually became clear. Dian Fifth Army First Regiment Commander Lu Han straightened his collar and prepared to step into Hoxun's camp to discuss the war situation.
A hurried traffic soldier just happened to turn the corner and did not see him, bumping into him.
He was so scared that he shivered and saluted.
"What's the matter?" Lu Han scolded lightly.
"Reporting to Regiment Commander, this is a letter from Yunnan. They say that this letter is very important and that the general must read it."
Ordinary cover?
Lu Han looked at the letter in his hand. "I'll take it to the commander." He waved his hand to let the person leave.
"Yes." The other party saluted.
Inside the tent, a tall figure stood in front of a map, observing the terrain.
"General, there's a letter from Yunnan." Lu Han said.
The other party turned his head, revealing a handsome and deep face that was quite similar to Gu Qi's.
It was just that his aura was stronger, as sharp as a sword, making people's bones tremble.
It was Dian Fifth Army Commander, Hoxun.
He raised his hand to take the letter and used a small knife to cut open the cover. He immediately pulled out a photo from the envelope.
Seeing the figure in the photo, Hoxun was stunned.
It was a beautiful lady. Beside her was a seven or eight-year-old little boy and an old man with a beard. The three of them were smiling, showing a sense of harmony and contentment.
This is … He had some guesses in his heart and hurriedly opened the letter.
The beautiful words were in front of his eyes.
It has been sixteen years since we parted in Chengdu.
The Red Leaves Alliance has been formed, Lord's message is fading. Concubine looks at the wind and thinks.
In the end, there is no news.
The world is vast, human life is in danger. I expect Lord will not meet again. I can only cry.
Because of bandits, both parents and concubine moved east in a hurry. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant and quickly settled down in Shanghai. She gave birth to a son, now fifteen years old. He is very intelligent. His name is Gu Qi and he looks like Lord.
In troubled times, the body is like duckweed. Both parents have passed away. Only the concubine and son rely on each other.
Only in difficult times can one think deeply of Lord.
A few days ago I was reading the news and saw that you have been conferred the title of Marquis. I felt that it would be inappropriate to disturb you. I was very happy and did not mention it.
However, the Heavenly Mandate did not last forever. His illness worsened day by day. Thinking about his son's future, he sent a letter.
I hope that you will be reunited with your child and share your family.
This concubine respectfully greets you.
"Gu Wei …" He sighed softly. When he thought of the past more than ten years ago, his eyes couldn't help but become wet.
"Gu Wei?" When Lu Han heard this name, surprise appeared on his usually calm face.
Hoxun looked up at him and said in a low voice, "I've arranged a mission for you. I can only rest assured if you go …"
When a piece of life-changing news came from Guangxi to Shanghai, in a valley on the outskirts of Shanghai, two teenagers were playing without any worries.
"This water is really cool."
Luo Fusheng sat at the edge of the water with his trousers rolled up and his white feet submerged in the water. He raised his head and the warm sunshine of early spring shone on his body.
Gu Qi lowered his head and played with the water. He felt that the temperature was indeed not irritating to the bones, so he didn't say anything and let him play.
In the past two months, his mother had been bedridden. Her illness was sometimes good and sometimes bad.
She drank a lot of medicine, but she was still sick.
Gu Qi went to accompany his mother whenever he had the chance. He didn't dare to leave her side.
When Luo Fusheng saw this, he didn't mention the matter of teaching him straw weaving. He often came from the back door of the noodle house in the afternoon, avoided the crowd, and went straight home with him to take care of his mother. He seemed to have a bad temper, but he was actually very attentive. He often understood Gu Qi's thoughts better than Gu Wei. Although Gu Qi was a person with a sharp mind, he was not a sensitive person with rich emotions. It was difficult for him to be like Luo Fusheng, who could accurately understand Gu Wei's temper when she was sick. He could often coax her to be happy.
Gu Qi's worries when he first met his mother in Fusheng seemed to be superfluous. Now the two of them were so close that even he, the biological son, felt inferior.
It was just that Gu Qi felt a little guilty because he had to take care of his mother with him for no reason and didn't go out to play. He always wanted to take him out to get some fresh air.
Recently, the weather had turned hot. His mother, who had been bedridden, looked better. Gu Qi took Luo Fusheng out to climb mountains in the wild.
Luo Fusheng was said to be the adopted son of the Hong Gang's leader, but in fact, he didn't have much entertainment.
He was the older brother. When he played with Hong Lan and the others, he always had to be careful to avoid overdoing it.
Later, when he started to fight and kill, he couldn't say that there was any entertainment that suited his youth.
Now that he had an appointment with Gu Qi, needless to say, he was excited and looked forward to it. Just looking for clothes to wear in Mei Gaomei, he changed several times.
In the end, he listened to Sister Hua's advice and chose a set of slim black mountaineering clothes and very flashy mountaineering shoes.
Then he went to find Gu Qi excitedly.
Gu Qi carried his bag and stood at the intersection to wait for him. When he saw Luo Fusheng's sparkling clothes and his eyes, which were expecting him to say something but pretending not to care, Gu Qi pretended to be serious and walked around him. When he saw that his eyes were gradually blushing, he finally let him go. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Fusheng, you are so good-looking."
Luo Fusheng couldn't help but grin.
He felt that he was really too childish. He coughed softly and said, "It's boring to talk about this. Let's climb the mountain quickly." Then he led the way to the mountain road.
Gu Qi stood where he was and watched Luo Fusheng's cheerful figure with great interest. He didn't take a step for a while. When Fusheng took a few steps and turned around to look at him questioningly, he came back to his senses and followed him.
"… So, there's no one behind Wang San?" The two of them chatted as they climbed the mountain. When they talked about Wang San, Gu Qi's eyes sharpened.
"He hid for two months. When I finally found him, I tied him to a tree and used this to interrogate him for a day." Luo Fusheng said as he drew a knife from his sleeve. He twirled it deftly in his hand and revealed a murderous smile. "Unfortunately, he only said that he was resentful after being beaten by me, so he planned to tie me up and give me to his rivals in the Hong Gang to find a way out. There was no one behind him. I saw that he was beaten up and didn't look like he was lying, so I twisted him and sent him to the police."
"He dared to tie up the foster son of the Hong Gang's leader after being beaten up. He is such a vengeful and daring person. If I don't kill him, I'm afraid that he will continue to be trouble in the future." Gu Qi heard, turned his head and looked at Luo Fusheng, and said lightly.
"… I beat him hard enough and threw him into a place like prison. I'm afraid that he won't live for long." Luo Fusheng looked at Gu Qi, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a faint fluctuation.
This made him somewhat unable to look at Gu Qi, and he quietly moved his eyes away.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he tortured Wang San.
"Hmph, Gu Qi, that brat, usually looks so upright and righteous, but in the end, what's the difference between him and me?" At that time, he had beaten Wang San until his face was swollen, but he had suddenly sneered.
"That night when he intercepted you, I'm afraid that you enjoyed it a lot, right?
Otherwise, why would you call him brother and come to the Paradigm Noodle House every day to take care of the Green Gang's business? "He was tied to the tree, and his eyes were like a snake's as he glanced at Luo Fusheng, full of lust.
Luo Fusheng's face turned cold. "What the f * ck are you talking about?" He thought that the other party was just playing with rabbits and was about to die.
"Oh?
You don't know? "
Wang San was just casually attacking. With his attacks on Luo Fusheng time and time again, he felt that it would be difficult to end well today. Looking at Luo Fusheng's reaction, he was a little surprised and laughed. "It's a pity to only use your head to find a way out. I wanted to use your lower body first, so I drugged you.
So as not to waste your jade-like face. Who knew that Gu Qi would snatch the duck that was in my hands.
I can't believe that you don't know anything.
Interesting … "
He was too angry at that time, and in a fit of anger, he beat him half to death, and then threw him into prison. He was probably dead by now.
The burning and powerlessness was not a fever … When he thought of this, some blurry images flashed through his mind.
The dim candlelight, the hands tightly holding his waist, the hugs, and the comforting kisses on the back of his neck.
He used to think that it was a dream.
After all, he was a sixteen-year-old man. Even if he was immature, he should have used his hands before.
Naturally, he understood what Gu Qi did.
Originally, he did not care about this matter at all logically. Instead, he felt Gu Qi's painstaking efforts.
When he talked about Wang San, he did not mention that he already knew the truth of the situation at that time.
It was a lie that helped each other.
At this moment, perhaps because the weather was too hot, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. The heat slowly spread from his neck to his ears and cheeks.
"… So we still have to be careful.
Fusheng?
What's wrong with you? "Gu Qi felt that he could not be careless about this matter.
Unless he was sure that Wang San was dead, he could not let his guard down too much.
He saw that Luo Fusheng did not respond, so he turned to look at him. However, he saw that his head was slightly lowered, and his cheeks and neck were red. He looked listless.
The early spring sun in Shanghai was very warm.
Gu Qi was fine. He did not have a body that sweated easily, so he did not feel uncomfortable.
Luo Fusheng, on the other hand, wore a black outfit. Although it was beautiful, it was stuffy. The boots he wore were not good at dissipating heat, so it was normal for him to feel hot.
Luo Fusheng raised his eyes. Under Gu Qi's gaze, his eyelashes trembled slightly.
He secretly calmed himself down. He opened his mouth and said, "It's really spring. The sun is so good. Hahahaha." His awkward voice gradually disappeared.
Gu Qi saw that he was sweating. His carefully combed hair was soaked in sweat and sticking up again. He was so hot that he started to emit a silly air. However, he refused to say that he was hot. He felt that he was pitiful and cute.
He lowered his head and took out two hats from his bag.
"First use this to block the sun." He raised his hand and put it on Luo Fusheng.
His finger touched Luo Fusheng's ear while he was putting on the hat.
Luo Fusheng trembled and immediately broke out in a layer of sweat.
"So hot?"
Luo Fusheng was afraid that his voice would reveal his abnormality, so he did not speak and only nodded.
Gu Qi only thought that he was uncomfortable because of the heat. He thought that it was better to go over as soon as possible, so he walked in front to open the way.
Luo Fusheng was one step behind. Looking at Gu Qi's back, he relaxed a little. His heart gradually filled with annoyance.
He felt that he was really dizzy from the heat. Gu Qi was just behaving as usual. Even when he first found out about the incident, he did not feel so uncomfortable when he saw Gu Qi again. Today, it was as if he was possessed. He kept thinking about all kinds of nonsense.
