The distant Liaodong is also raging with cold winds at this moment, the torches at night are blown and shaken, and the flags are even more fierce. The soldiers in armor were all staring at each other, without the slightest slackness, standing calmly and attentively above the city gates, ready to fight at any time.

Xu arrived at the border, and the moonlight here seemed to be much brighter than in the capital, clear as a pearl at night, spreading out the clear light of the place, falling on the roof, as if covered with layers of hoarfrost.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous small teahouse, there are two ordinary-dressed little guys standing at the door of the private room on the second floor, looking simple and simple, but if you know some kung fu, you can see that these two little guys are in a straight shape, quite a bit of a tiger's back and bee waist, and there are a little more hardness and calmness in their eyes.

The furnishings in this private room are average, compared with those better teahouses, it is obviously a few grades lower, and because of this, most of the people in this shop are ordinary people.

The candle flame flickered slightly, and a dusty moth flapped its wings around the candle flame on the high table to get closer, but was retreated by the heat several times, making a subtle and persistent sound in the quiet room.

"This matter, you need to be cautious, you must let everyone know unknowingly, the importance of which does not need me to say much, but I am afraid that it will endanger your life, and it will be difficult for me and the fourth uncle to protect you at that time, you-"

"The general doesn't have to say it!"

Before the young man sitting at the table finished speaking, the man sitting next to him had already gotten up, and then clenched his fists, his eyebrows full of determination and fearlessness.

"The mother of the last general died at the hands of the Tatars, and if it weren't for Gu Zongbing and you, I am afraid that now I am separated from the last general. ”

Speaking of which, the man who has obviously passed his age is red, and there is a slight surging imperceptible flicker, which makes people feel moved under the lamp.

"Our brothers will never forget the day when they were besieged for a long time, and after retreating as soon as possible, maintaining their strength, they did not hesitate to give up the remaining people in the long run, and evacuated first. But even so, the general soldier blamed His Royal Highness King Huai and Jing Luo for this, and received fifty military sticks, and you were almost cut off by the Tartars!"

At this point, the man seemed to have fallen into that thrilling memory, and his voice trembled slightly, and he was even more uncontrollable and choked.

The sound of moths fluttering could still be heard in the quiet room, and the man's dark skin looked stronger under the lamp, and his resolute and straight face softened with tears.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's head bowed slightly, his shoulders shook silently, and then he raised his head and said without hesitation: "The lives of the brothers' parents, wives and children were all saved by Gu Zongbing and you, so what is there to fear about this despicable life? ”

When the words fell, Gu Zihan, who was sitting on the chair, stood up heavily, and looked at the brother who was born and died in front of him with a pair of dark eyes.

"General Mo. ”

Before the man could react, Gu Zihan clenched his fists firmly, his eyes full of respect.

"General, don't be a bad general. ”

Seeing that the man was about to bow back, Gu Zihan held him up, and his tone was serious and low.

"In the past, the fourth uncle and I saved the people of Changcheng City, it was our duty as Daxing soldiers, and we led the court to keep their peace with the expectations of the people. But now, you don't have to do it, this gift, I Gu Zihan should do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zihan did not hesitate to kneel on his robe and bow his head in admiration.

"General!"

General Mo was immediately startled, and almost at the same time bent his legs and knelt on the ground, Gu Zihan hurriedly supported General Mo's bowed body, and the two knelt down and looked at each other, one was resolute, and the other was unbearable.

Under the candlelight, the resolute shadows of the two were projected on the ground, slightly elongated.

The soldier dies for his confidant, and no one understands the heaviness in these few words.

……

The rain outside the window was dripping, hitting the banana leaves and making a crackling sound, and the crystal transparent rain silk was slightly condensed together along the lattice window and the peach blossom cellophane, sliding down quietly and falling on the corner of the wall.

The lights in the house are bright and warm, which makes people feel a little greedy.

Xiao Yi sat silently behind the bookcase, quietly looking at the book in his hand, Guan Tong sat gently not far away, looking at Xiao Yi through the candle in the room, seeing the light but handsome face, he couldn't help but want to stop time at this moment.

If so, he and she would have been so good from the beginning.

If so, without Gu Yanling, how good it would be.

Compared to Gu Yanling, she didn't feel that she was missing anything from Gu Yanling.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

As long as there is no Gu Yanling in this world, everything will be smooth for her.

Thinking of this, Guan Tong's hand under his sleeve couldn't help but clench tightly, and he lowered his head slightly, looking quiet and gentle, but there was undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

As long as you get the heart of Your Highness.

Gu Yanling couldn't stay anymore.

A slight voice sounded, which made Guan Tong can't help but raise his head, only to see that Xiao Yixu in front of him was tired of reading, and he had already stood up unhurriedly.

"Your Highness—"

Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly when he heard this, and then put the scroll in his hand back on the desk and said, "It's late at night, let's rest—"

Just when Guan Tong's face was slightly hot, Xiao Yi looked at the autumn rain outside the window as if he hadn't seen it, and then said in a slow tone: "It's raining heavily outside, and I'm afraid that my clothes will get wet when I go back to the West Hall, so you can rest here." ”

Guan Tong couldn't help pinching his cuffs when he heard this, and his heart jumped up.

Who knew that Xiao Yi had already summoned Tan Mo in, and Tan Mo was waiting for him to put on a dark color.

"Your Highness—"

The girl's surprised and tentative voice sounded behind him, and Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly.

"Your Highness, are you going out?"

In the face of the girl's question, Xiao Yi nodded lightly, and his tone was already gentle.

"I'll go to the east temple to rest. ”

East Palace, Gu Yanling's palace!

Guan Tong's originally hot heart was suddenly extinguished, but he still pretended to be nervous and said: "It's better for the concubine to go back to the West Palace, there will be an early dynasty tomorrow, Your Highness should go to bed early." ”

"No need. ”

As soon as Guan Tong took a step, Xiao Yi had already spoken out: "You are weak and cold outside, so you can stay." ”

The voice fell, and regardless of Guan Tong's answer, Xiao Yi had already turned around and walked out, and Tan Mo hurriedly followed with an umbrella.

"His Royal Highness is more and more concerned about the side concubine. ”

Hearing Yuhe's happy voice, the corners of Guan Tong's lips hooked slightly.

yes, but it's not enough.

At this moment, Guan Tong understands very well that his time is running out, and it is impossible for Empress Dowager Guo to tie Xiao Gu's family to Cining Palace for the rest of her life, seeing that the New Year is approaching, those who should come back will always come back.

If before Gu Yanling comes back, she still can't get Xiao Yi's heart, but I'm afraid that the future will be even more difficult.

Empress Dowager Guo will not wait so long for herself, once she realizes her uselessness, it is difficult to guarantee that Empress Dowager Guo will not replace her with more young and beautiful faces.

She must not be that outcast, otherwise, life will be worse than death in the future.

Thinking of this, Guan Tong's eyes gradually glowed.

"Yuhe. ”

Under Guan Tong's signal, Yuhe carefully listened to the past, and when he heard his girl's quiet words, his face almost turned pale, and he almost screamed stiffly.

Guan Tong clasped Yuhe's shoulders tightly with both hands as a warning, and then said in a low and serious voice: "Yuhe, you grew up with me since childhood, and now the only person I can trust is you, you know, the East Hall is coming back, if I continue like this, I will be disgusted by the Queen Mother, I can't do this, do you know?"

In Yuhe's stunned eyes, Guan Tong seemed to be bewitched, and quietly leaned into Yuhe's ear and begged: "Yuhe, help me, as long as people don't notice, it'll be fine, this is the last time." ”
