Prince, your face fell off

Chapter 39 37 Encounters

The northwest wind is like a knife, dry and cold, covered with rough sand, and it hurts when it blows on the face.

The childish sobs were suppressed along the wind, intermittently, as if he was about to cry out of breath.

"Brush—" The sound of the whip whipping through the air was extremely sharp, and it hit the person's body with a muffled sound.

The child's fragile crying became louder and louder, and at the same time, he cried out in vague mourning, "Father—"

The wind and sand in the northwest was really strong. Gu Jin squinted her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man who was beaten by the officials. He was skinny and unshaven, but he used his body to protect the child tightly.

That was an official in the court who was implicated in the Gu family incident, and was exiled to the northwest just like him.Poorly, there is also a young son who has just turned ten years old, who was sent out together.The child was weak and couldn't bear the long journey. He fell ill on the way and had a fever all the time.The officials didn't have that much patience. When they saw the child fall, it was a whip, and the official rushed to block it.It has become the current situation.

Gu Jin stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her chapped lips with a fishy mouthful.This was the No.20 three days when he was exiled. He left Hanshan Pass with the escorting officials, and after another ten days, he would reach the northwest and serve as a soldier on the battlefield.The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and I don't know if he can survive.

Two years ago, Gu Wei was sent to Lingnan to suppress the bandits, but he was ambushed in Lingnan. The lieutenant led most of his troops to break out of the siege, but Gu Wei failed to break out.Gu Jin didn't know whether Gu Bi did it on purpose or not, but Lingnan is full of poisonous miasma, and his third uncle has probably already folded there.

As a result, not long after his third uncle's accident, the Gu family was listed as three major crimes by Song Yushi. Emperor Qianyuan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.Unexpectedly, the involvement is so extensive, and there is a faint intention to guide Xu Guogong.Gu Jin watched with cold eyes that the Gu family was blamed and covered with layers of sludge, completely ruining the Gu family's century-old reputation.

Heh... It's a good thing my uncle has already gone, otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to face so many humiliations.Gu Jin looked at the pair of father and son who had been beaten so badly, she lowered her eyes, everyone has their own fate, maybe it is much more gentle to die on the road early than to die on the battlefield.

"Father—" the child's shrill scream came, Gu Jin looked up, and it was the official who dragged the child out of the official's arms and began to tear the other's clothes.

He had heard that the northwest was desolate, there were very few women, and many soldiers would vent to the weaker people in the barracks, but he never thought that this officer would attack a child who was not yet an adult!

The child's immature skin is exposed on the vast land in the northwest, like a piece of suet white jade abandoned by people.The child was dragged on the ground, his body was scratched with bloodstains by the sharp gravel, his five fingers were grasping on the ground, but he was dragged to a dark corner in vain, crying weakly.

The official was stepped on the ground by another official, with blood and tears on his face.The eyes touched Gu Jin, full of sadness, despair, and hatred.

Gu Jin's pupils constricted, and she stood up suddenly, but her shoulders were pressed down by a strong force, and someone kicked her knee hard, forcing her to kneel on the ground, and the sand and stones hit her knees, causing pain.

"Boss, look, this kid wants to get ahead, hahaha."

Gu Jin's scalp tightened, but someone grabbed her hair, and then she was forced to raise her head.Gu Jin looked coldly at the official who was walking here with a whip, her eyes were like stagnant water, she just stared at the person who came, as if she was looking at a corpse, and the heart of the person who watched it felt cold.

"Damn it, what does this little boy look at? His eyes look like the whole family is dead!" The officer spat, stepped forward and kicked Gu Jin's heart.

Gu Jin let out a muffled snort, and was kicked to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his head was hit hard, and his head was trampled on. The official's complacent voice came from above his head, "What kind of Tanhualang, don't you want to be trampled under my feet by Lao Tzu? What are you staring at, when you reach the gate, you can bear it!"

Gu Jin only felt a buzzing in her head and a severe tightness in her chest.The crying of the child next to my ears became weaker and weaker.Gradually buried in the boundless wind in the northwest.

Human life... so sad.

The official's cursing voice was muffled by the wind, Gu Jin's fingers curled up, and she clenched tightly, her nails piercing into her palm.

"Oh, pretend to be dead! Didn't you want to save people just now? Why are you still like a dead dog now! And these eyes..." His body was kicked several times, and the official seemed to be disgusted. Not enough, looked into Gu Jin's eyes, sneered, "Let you see again!"

The official took out the whip from his waist and threw it straight at Gu Jin's eyes, if the whip fell on his eyes, he would definitely be blinded!When the strong wind hit, Gu Jin watched the whip tail sweeping towards him with indifferent eyes.

"Brush—" The wind screamed, seeing that the whip tail was about to fall into Gu Jin's face, but at the last moment, he withdrew his force, and the whip tail brushed against Gu Jin's side face, leaving only a red mark.The official's scream sounded, bright red blood splashed along his broken wrist, fell into Gu Jin's open eyes, and slowly slid down the corners of his eyes.

The whip fell to the ground with a clatter, along with the hand holding it.

The blood flowed into a pool and slowly seeped into the sand.There was a dull sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground, getting closer and closer.Gu Jin was in pain all over, and she got up from the ground with difficulty, before she could see who was coming, her waist suddenly tightened, and she was picked up in the air.

Leaning his back against a person's chest, the other person forcibly hugged Gu Jin's waist, his slender fingers covered with thin calluses, ambiguously and provocatively caressed the side of his face injured by the whip, "Does it hurt?"

The corner of the robe touched the corner of his eyes, which was as red as fire, flamboyant and enthusiastic.The hands that were shackled were lifted gently, "The wrists are all worn out."

The shackles were broken in the hands of the visitor, and the free wrist was gently held by someone, and the broken skin was touched lightly.

"It must be very painful..." The visitor whispered softly, like spring breeze turning into rain.

"Whoever dares to hurt you, I'll kill him." A voice full of anger rang in his ears, every word, as if wrapped in solid ice.

Gu Jin saw the splash of blood, the long sword passing by, the body and head of the official was separated, the round eyes were full of surprise and fear, they were frozen and distorted forever, and then rolled away far away.

Warm palms covered the eyelids, and a satisfied sigh sounded behind the ear, "Dirty, don't look at it."

Gu Jin suddenly stiffened and remained motionless.

"Oh, why are you so nervous...Little brother, but you recognize me?" The tip of the ear was gently held, and the tip of the soft tongue licked Gu Jin's ear.

Gu Jin stretched out her hand and covered the palm covering his eyelids, her lips trembled, and finally said two words, "Wei Jiao."

Wei Jiao chuckled, "That's right."

With a casual wave of his hand, the secret guards following behind Wei Jiao took orders to deal with the remaining officials.The wind and sand filled the air, and there was a fishy smell in the air. The prisoners escorted by the officials huddled together and shivered.

Wei Jiao raised his hand, intending to get rid of all these people, but Gu Jin held down his fingers, "Don't, some are implicated innocently."

Wei Jiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the prisoners, and ordered the secret guard to sort out the personnel, while he rode away with Gu Jin in his arms.

Wei Jiao hugged Gu Jin's arm tightly, like a miser guarding his treasure tightly, not letting anyone covet it.

Gu Jin only felt that the hug behind her was tight, and there was a warm breath spitting behind her ear, which aroused a little itchy numbness, and he heard the other party's smiling voice slowly sounding, feeling very tired .

"Gu Jin, long time no see."

Wei Jiao came out of Shu just a month ago.It's been five years since he was thrown to An Guangju by his unscrupulous father.Wei Jiao's life in An Guang was horrible.Having been whipped by Chun Yuke to avenge his personal revenge, he spent three years reading through the classics in the library, and then spent two more years trying to crack the Qimen Dunjia near Anguangju. It was not until more than a month ago that he finally found it. There is a way out.

All the way to the capital in a hurry, unexpectedly, as soon as they left Shu, they heard that the Gu family had been ransacked, and Gu Jin was exiled to the northwest.Wei Jiao only came to inform his parents, brought some hidden guards and rushed to the northwest.

The moment he saw Gu Jin being beaten, Wei Jiao only wanted to kill someone.Fortunately, he still arrived.

The official sent a heavy hand, afraid that Gu Jin would feel uncomfortable, Wei Jiao stopped and stopped all the way, and finally found a simple inn in the frontier, intending to let Gu Jin cultivate himself first.

Wei Jiao hugged Gu Jin and dismounted from the horse, originally planned to carry Gu Jin in, but Gu Jin struggled to get off.

"Don't hug me, I can go."

Feeling empty in his arms, Wei Jiao sighed, stretched out his arms to wrap around Gu Jin's waist, and supported him a little, "You're injured, you still have to be careful."

Looking at the hand that was clasped around her waist like suet and jade, Gu Jin pursed her lips and remained silent.

Wei Jiao threw a piece of silver, asked for a room and a bucket of hot water, asked the shopkeeper to pack up some food and sent it up, supported Gu Jin and went upstairs.

Having not seen each other for eight years, Gu Jin looked at Wei Jiao, and couldn't react for a while.The baby fat on the face of a child faded with time, revealing the delicate and monstrous features, with a straight nose and thin lips, sharp eyes, and inexplicably a little indifference or majesty when not smiling.

He was tall, and when he was supporting him, he realized that Wei Jiao was already as tall as him.The child in my memory who was always pitiful and clingy to him... has grown up.

Gu Jin was exiled from the capital to the Northwest, hadn't had a good night's sleep for dozens of days, hadn't enough to eat, and had been beaten again, her whole body was emaciated.

The hot water was brought up by Xiaoer, Wei Jiao opened the door, took the hot water and poured it into the bathtub. "The water is full, let's wash."

Wei Jiao looked at Gu Jin and smiled very brightly.

There is only a bed and a table in the room, there is no other cover, Wei Jiao just lay on the table and stared at Gu Jin undressing.

Under the prison clothes made of burlap is Gu Jin's slender and flexible body. Unlike ordinary scholars who are thin like a chicken, Gu Jin's body muscles are smooth and the texture is clear. It can be seen that he has a perfect body shape created by regular martial arts.Wei Jiao stared at Gu Jin's long legs that were still wrapped in obscene clothes, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Gu Jin suddenly turned around, revealing the bruises on her waist, abdomen and chest from being beaten, "Wei Jiao, what are you looking at?"

"Look at you..." His eyes touched Gu Jin's frowning brows, Wei Jiao immediately shook off the disharmonious thoughts in his head, put his chin on his hands, and smiled softly, "Gu Jin, does your injury hurt? I'll give you medicine in a moment."

Gu Jin: "...Oh."

Then he raised his hand and threw the clothes he had just taken off, which happened to be on Wei Jiao's head, only the sound of rushing water could be heard, and when Wei Jiao pulled the clothes off his head, Gu Jin had already sat in the bathtub.

Wei Jiao looked at Gu Jin with only one head exposed, turned his gaze back regretfully, and sighed, alas, I thought I could take advantage of it for a while.

Gu Jin looked at Wei Jiao who was staring at him intently, and remained silent.At the beginning, Wei Jiao said he would come back within half a year, but...heh, he really was a fox, lying.

Wei Jiao didn't come back in the first year, he thought it might be because Huaiyang was too busy.

In the second year, Wei Jiao still didn't return to Beijing, but he asked someone to send a letter saying that he was going to cross the Hanqi River.He calculated the date of Wei Jiao's return, waited at the gate of the city for a day, and was finally dragged back by Guo Can.

The third year……

At the beginning, he still had inexplicable expectations, hoping that Wei Jiao would suddenly appear in front of him one day, hugging him stickily and begging for candies.But after waiting and waiting, in the end, even a single letter was gone.

Gu Jin looked at Wei Jiao who was bending over the wood on the table, lowered her eyes, and scrubbed her fingers little by little.

I haven't seen you for many years, how come I still have this virtue.

Wei Jiao looked anxiously at Gu Jin rubbing and washing, hesitated for a while, and silently rubbed over, "Gu Jin, let me help you wash your hair."

Gu Jin: "..."

Seeing Wei Jiao's white paw stretched out, Gu Jin pursed her lips for a while, "Okay."
