Rebel

It turned out that not long after leaving Gu Ao's side, Mei Jun found the house where Mei Zhao was imprisoned.She said: "I'll go in and have a look and say a few words." The guards knew her identity and didn't dare to stop her, so they let her in.As soon as Mei Jun entered the door, she saw Mei Zhao sitting on the corner with her eyes closed, her face gloomy. She walked over, knelt down in front of him, and shook her younger brother's shoulder: "Zhaoer, it's my sister!"

Only then did Mei Zhao open her eyes in a startled way: "Sister, why are you here?"

Mei Jun asked anxiously, "Why did he catch you?"

Mei Zhao smiled wryly: "Isn't it because I let a commander go back out of Longshan?"

Mei Juan said: "He said you violated the military law, didn't he?"

Mei Zhao nodded: "Yes."

"What does the military law say, how to deal with you?"

Mei Zhao said, "I don't know how to deal with me yet, but in the military law, releasing deserters privately is a dead word."

"What?" Mei Jun lowered her voice, "Dare he?"

"I don't know anymore," Mei Zhao said with a wry smile on his face, "he has a big heart. I originally thought that if there were [-] elite soldiers from Longshan, he would be the commander of the army, and he would be at ease in the county, and grow old with my sister and you. Difficult. But it turned out that I was wrong, he thought..." At this point, Mei Zhao also unconsciously lowered her voice: "...he wants to fight for the world."

Mei Juan said: "...Just relying on such a small number of troops?... How can we imagine this? He really intends to do so?"

Mei Zhao said: "I think so. At the beginning, when I inherited my father's business, I just hoped that my father's old brothers could eat and come out of the mountain to become good people. Now these defenders in Hanzhong have been declared by the court to be rebels. Good people."

Mei Jun frowned slightly: "You can't let him mess around like this..."

Mei Zhao said: "But what can we do? He is now the adopted son of Taishou Lu, and he is close to those big men in the county, and he is also in command of the military. When the class teacher came back last time, I just said in a discussion After a few words, those in charge started to attack. I also know that this is not going to work, it’s good to let some go, and don’t let people die with us.”

Mei Jun said with some guilt: "At the beginning, how did I think of the present? At that time, I only thought that as long as the second and third uncles were not around, it would not be up to our family to leave Longshan? How could I have expected today..." Said, Mei Jun I also recalled the time when I was a young girl and fell in love with Gu Ao... How tolerant and obedient I was to him, I almost abandoned my temper and lost my original self, but what did I get in exchange?

Mei Juan said softly: "It's my sister who is wrong, she has suffered for you."

Seeing Mei Jun's expression changed, Mei Zhao held Mei Jun's hand worriedly, and said, "Sister, don't worry, what are you going to do?"

Mei Jun stood up and said: "I'm going to ask him for justice, I'll lead my troops to surround him."

Mei Zhao said: "Sister, please don't! Over the years he has recruited many outsiders to be placed in the army, and the army's heart is already on his side. I'm afraid it won't work."

"Leave me alone, I'll go right away. I'll save you later."

"Sister, sister!" Mei Zhao lowered her voice and called softly.However, Mei Jun walked out of the house alone, she returned to the house, put on her military uniform again, and was about to go to the barracks to find the old department with a knife in her hand, but the servant blocked the door and said: "Little lady, what are you doing here? "

"You get out of the way!"

The servant knelt down and grabbed the corner of Mei Jun's clothes pitifully: "I know, little lady, if you listen to me, you might beat me again. But I still have to say, little lady, you can't go, Just now I heard people say that the leader of a thousand people who was sent back to Longshan by Xiaodang was persuaded to come back... Now the military spirit is not the same as when we were in the Shanzhai. Many people I know don't want to be bandits for a long time Now, in my heart, I'm full of the ecstasy soup that officials from the county poured into them to get promoted and get rich. Little lady, are you going to hit a stone with an egg?"

Mei Juan said angrily: "Then what do you say?"

The servant said: "Is the little lady having trouble going on?"

Mei Jun didn't say a word, the servant said: "I can't go on, he takes his Yangguan Road, you take your single-plank bridge."

Mei Jun kicked the servant over, and went to Mei Zhao's place with a knife in her hand. After entering the house, she pulled Mei Zhao up and said, "You know, those 1000 people you let go are really I persuaded him to come back, what do you say, my sister listens to you!"

Mei Zhao's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Why... are you back again?"

Mei Juan said: "Ah! It's just that you're back again. Make up your mind. I'll listen to you."

Mei Zhao sat on the ground as if she had lost her strength: "... Forget it, forget it, he is powerful, I will not fight with him... Those who let go can be found again... Hey, these soldiers, They can follow whomever they want... I don't care."

Mei Jun said: "But he still wants to punish you, what should we do?"

Mei Zhao said: "What can I do? He can't really kill me, can he? Wait and see how he handles..."

Mei Juan said: "But sister can't swallow this breath, why don't we two go away."

"……Walk?"

Mei Jun nodded: "Fly far away."

Mei Zhao fell silent, and after a long while, he said, "...that's fine, I've done my best, and I can repay him for saving him twice."

Mei Jun nodded, and said: "I'll bring the horse to a nearby place later, and you tell the gatekeeper that you need to relieve yourself. I just saw that they didn't keep a tight guard, so I showed you some kindness, so I ran very fast. .”

Mei Zhao nodded, and held Mei Jun's hand: "...Sister, have you really made up your mind? He is your husband."

Knowing that she was going to leave Gu Ao, Mei Jun felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and her expression returned to the previous sassy vigor.Seeing her younger brother asking her, Mei Jun curled his lips in a self-deprecating way: "I got married by mistake."

"From that day on... what will we do in the future, where shall we go?" Mei Zhao asked.

Mei Jun said: "Didn't you always want to be a ranger? My sister will accompany you to be a ranger. There is a servant by my side. I only found out recently that his family runs a shop. Let's go to his place first."

Mei Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'ranger', and then he smiled: "Okay."

Mei Jun went back to the room and hung the dagger that Gu Ao gave him in the house, she called the servant, the servant still had the imprint of the sole of the shoe she kicked on his chest, when she heard her move Called, he trotted all the way to Mei Jun.

Mei Jun said, "Write a letter for me."

The servant nodded, and immediately polished the ink, Mei Jun thought for a while, and said: "Just write, 'I hope you will cherish my farewell today'."

"Just write this?"

"Just write that."

"Bring Jiang'er here and let me see..."

The servant on the side asked cautiously: "Miss, do you want to bring the young master with you?"

Mei Jun sighed, with a hesitant expression on his face: "The only one who is worried about him is him."

The servant said: "If I take the young master with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

Mei Jun remained silent.

The servant said: "There is no one who doesn't care about his heirs."

Mei Jun gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, let me take another look at him."

"Asleep, little lady, come with me."

Mei Jun came to her son Gu Jiang's bedside, tears streaming down Gu Jiang's quilt; she wiped her eyes vigorously, but turned around and left resolutely.

----

On the Yangguan road, the sky is on different sides, when the sun was getting late, Gu Ao finally led his troops to catch up with Mei Jun and Mei Zhao and his party. The son in his arms was crying, and Mei Zhao and Mei Jun were alone. A young servant helped them carry the packages.

Gu Ao got off his horse, took a step forward, held the child in his arms, and called out, "...Ms. Jun, what are you doing?"

Mei Juan looked at Gu Ao quietly, these days, she had never been so calm when facing Gu Ao.

She finally knew how her marriage with Gu Ao was restricting her heavily.

Looking at Gu Ao's face, Mei Jun recalled... how she pityed herself in the shadows, how she suppressed herself and tried to please him, how she treated her indifferently after countless times. Also disgusted.

But leaving him, looking at the unknown future in the distance, Mei Jun seemed to have regained the courage she had when she was young, full of heroism and hope.

Mei Jun quietly stared at Gu Ao, the man who had touched her heart, and said slowly: "From now on, you are you and I am me, let's say goodbye."

Gu Ao looked at his wife, the child in his arms was still crying, he felt the weight in his arms was extremely heavy, he said unwillingly: "Why?"

Mei Jun sighed: "You still don't know why, which means you don't understand."

"Don't you care about Jiang'er anymore?" Gu Ao pleaded.

Mei Jun lowered her eyes slightly, saw the ancient brocade belt that Gu Ao still wore around her waist, and suddenly felt relieved.At first, she thought that her anger was due to her rival, but now, she finally understood that what he needed her to endure, she couldn't bear anything, and what she wanted, he didn't give him a penny.The two of them are not the same person after all.

If there is really an unforgettable love, the two can still be pulled together. Unfortunately, from the very beginning, their marriage was just a transaction.

Mei Juan said: "I believe you can treat him well, can you?"

"He is my son, so I naturally treat him well."

"Then I have nothing to worry about," said Mei Jun, turning his horse's head and calling out to Mei Zhao, who cupped his fists and said, "Hero, if we meet again, we will be in Jianghu."

Saying that, the two of them led the servants, raised their horses and raised their whips, and ran towards the front of the road together.

"Gu Juntong, are you chasing him?" someone asked beside him.

Gu Ao looked at the backs of the three of them disappearing at the end of the setting sun, and did not speak for a long time.
