Chapter 179: Late Summer and Early Autumn
"Alright then, you're really here to make my rounds. Gu Tang had already turned over and dismounted between his words, without the slightest tension as everyone imagined.
Chen Chong subconsciously took half a step back.
"Why, General Chen doesn't seem to welcome me very much. The four hundred people behind Gu Tang were about to turn over and dismount, but they were stopped by Gu Tang waving his hand.
The old man sitting in the middle of the camp suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes.
muttered slightly: "Not afraid of death?"
"General Gu has a lot of opportunities, I am a small camp and a small village, I can't bother the general, the general should go back." Chen Chong said stiffly, stretched out his arms, and made a gesture of refusal.
Gu Tang stopped, and after faintly looking back at the cavalry behind him, he stopped.
Then the conversation took a sharp turn.
"I'll give you five days, if you want to live, come to me, if you want to die, of course I won't stop you. "The majesty of General Zhenxi certainly makes people shudder.
Chen Chong was terrified for a while, and he actually had the urge to bow down.
And at this moment, a warm current instantly shocked his whole body, and his fear slowly subsided.
The old man in the camp pursed the corners of his mouth, slowly withdrew his right hand stretched out in the air, and gasped, "This Gu Tang is really a great character, no wonder he can command the Northwest Army." ”
"The general is a little arrogant. Since they have already torn their faces, they don't need to take care of each other's faces at all, so Chen Chong straightened his waist, so that he looked more like a general. The latest and fastest updates
"Is it arrogance? I prefer to call it absolute strength. ”
"Just rely on your 100,000 Northwest Army to break through Dugu Gorge?" Chen Chong felt that this was the best joke he had heard in the past few years.
"Then we'll see. Gu Tang took a deep look at the center of the camp and then turned around and got on his horse, and the four hundred people avoided on both sides in unison, and then flowed out a distance of nearly two steps wide, just allowing a horse to pass.
Gu Tang's figure slowly disappeared behind the figures, and then suddenly stopped at the end of the almost disappeared.
"What you protect is only what others want to protect. So where is the meaning of your existence? "The early autumn wind was somewhat gloomy, so when those words reached Chen Chong's ears along the autumn wind, it seemed a little bleak.
"And what about what you are protecting, is the emperor's ambition?" Chen Chong laughed loudly at the sky, and then spat at the figure that was fading away.
Late summer and early fall.
The imperial palace in Zhongjing City stands peacefully among a still dense ancient trees, and the growth time of hundreds or even nearly a thousand years makes these ancient trees extremely thick and tall, but it still cannot hide the grandeur of the palace group and the solemn atmosphere of the political center of the world.
The most beautiful place in the palace is the Yishui Temple, looking at the back mountain from the back railing of the palace, after a few autumn winds, there are gradually slightly withered leaves falling, and the green color begins to mix into the bright light yellow and light red, which is indescribably bright and moving.
Liu Jizu, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty with a clear face, gently held the queen's soft hand, looked at the early autumn scenery in the mountains in front of the palace, and sighed softly and said: "Trees have to go through thousands of years of wind and rain before they can reach the sky. I didn't want to hurt them. But since some things have already seen the signs, they must be solved as soon as possible, and once he has become the climate, it will be too late. I can't risk my ancestors' thousand-year-old inheritance. ”
The queen handed him back the battle report from Duguxia in her hand, gently snuggled up to him, and naturally had a charming and gentle meaning between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't need to comfort me because of this, how can I understand the big things of your men, it's just my own preferences." ”
"Lin Jinrong is a person you respect, and his son is not bad, and it is precisely because of this that I am determined to get rid of him. The Emperor glanced at the Empress with deep meaning and said, "But I can promise you that I will minimize the casualties caused by the war. ”
The queen knew what his eyes were full of meaning meant, and then he slowly stood up straight, calmly looked at the bright autumn mountain old trees outside the fence, and said: "The world and love and righteousness are originally difficult things. I never blamed you. ”
After a long silence, the emperor slowly spoke: "I'm a little worried about the dean at this time. ”
"The dean is a high-ranking person and will not act according to personal feelings, which I am very relieved of. ”
"Yingtian Academy is still my Han's academy after all. ”
The emperor chuckled and said: "In this game, in addition to the geographical advantage, there is a time when there are people and people. There is no reason to be invincible. ”
The queen looked at the man's familiar side face, thinking about his love and protection for herself over the years, her eyes were full of admiration and love, and she said in a quiet voice: "Your Majesty is strategizing, I like it very much." ”
"Haha, this is my queen. Liu Jizu hugged the queen in his arms, wantonly rubbed her hair that was still smooth although it had been tied up, and breathed a long sigh of satisfaction with satisfaction, life can win the world, and embrace the woman he loves the most, I am afraid it is the happiest thing for a man.
"Your Majesty, Duguxia, General Gu Tang is in a hurry. The old eunuch's sharp voice came from not far away, piercing the quiet palace, Liu Jizu obviously didn't like this sharp and abrupt voice, frowned slightly, and waved him over.
The old eunuch put his head on his head and looked directly at the tip of the emperor's shoes to show respect, and then gathered the letter that had been slightly wrinkled all over the country's head and gathered it in front of Liu Jizu.
Of course, Liu Jizu recognized Gu Tang's handwriting, and after glancing at the queen, he took the urgent report.
The handwriting is very sloppy, but it does not lose the atmosphere, there are only a dozen words, and the content is indeed expressed very clearly.
"The Duguxia camp, the persuasion to surrender failed, and it is scheduled to attack the city in the beginning of autumn. Hopefully. ”
"Lin Jinrong, Lin Jinrong, even if you die, you have to bury a nail for me. Sure enough, he is the number one military general in the world. Liu Jizu smiled bitterly, and then held the letter in his hand into a paper ball.
"One word back: accurate. ”
The queen's delicate body snuggled in Liu Jizu's arms and said, "Is this war finally coming?" ”
"yes. Liu Jizu leaned on the railing, looked at the gradually westbound sun, and said abruptly: "It's finally coming." ”
Tianjiazhuang large and small villages are dotted all over the place, the long and short weir canals are weaving, there is a large orange orchard planting more than 6,000 trees, the yellow mandarin produced is the palace B class tribute, but this year I don't know why, the fruity scene is gone, although it has entered the autumn, but it is not as fruitful as in the past.
The greedy naughty children in the Zhuangzi, no matter how bold they are, do not dare to climb trees and steal picks, and every time they play near the orange orchard, they only dare to watch from afar. At this time, the orange orchard is vaguely hung bright red, a young man in a green shirt and Confucian appearance broke into the orange orchard, gently flicked his fingers, bounced down some weathered shriveled red oranges, and put his head in his arms, and did not peel the skin, a bite is half a mouthful, and chewed it in a big mouthful. The young man grabbed an orange and grinned at the old man, who shook his head to indicate that he had no interest in oranges, and the young man chewed the flesh and peel of the orange, and said vaguely: "Dahan is really a good place." ”
The old man glanced at the young man's back, which seemed to show that he had just experienced a big fight, and although he was not seriously injured, it did look unusually scary. But the young man with the wound didn't care, two mouthfuls of an orange, quickly solved a whole pocket, stretched out his hand to pat the dust of his clothes, touched the wound on his back, and suddenly couldn't help grinning.
"Old Criminal, if I continue to practice like this, can I really improve my physical strength in a short time?"
He pointed to the high waterfall a little away from here, and asked silently.
"If I say you, you can do it, and I can still hurt you. The old man said angrily, and there seemed to be some blame for the young man in his tone.
"Although it won't allow you to break the mirror for a short time, there will definitely be an improvement, and you will have a degree of control over your body. Isn't that what you need most right now? ”
