Yun Yao stood outside Wei Qing's tent and heard some sounds coming from inside intermittently, but she couldn't really hear it.

The surrounding Han soldiers were all looking at her curiously. They had all heard that the general and the lord were old acquaintances, but now it seemed that they were more than just old acquaintances. This lord looked quiet, and his body was still a little thin, but under the sword light around him, he didn't change color at all.

Such a lord is a perfect match for their equally eccentric general.

In the camp tent, Gao Su reported to Wei Qingyu in a deep voice:

"The military ministers have gone south to plunder no less than ten times in their lives, and His Majesty has long been bound to win this person; At the same time, this person is cunning in nature, and there are many strong soldiers and good generals under his command, and there are many people who want to try to rescue. Therefore, it is hoped that the general will escort this person to Chang'an earlier, and later, he is afraid of change. This is one of them. Second, the camp of the Han army has been exposed, and the general has been slightly injured; After the military minister Shan Yu was captured by the Han army, the Huns will definitely fight back wildly, and we will stay here again, and it is inevitable to be passive. Therefore, it is hoped that the general will pull out the camp as soon as possible, and go to other places to wait for work. ”

Wei Qing held down the wound under his left flank and asked lightly, "In your opinion, where will they fight back?" ”

"Kamiya, Daigun." Gao Su replied, "Shanggu County and Dai County are the closest to here, and they are also the most vulnerable to retaliation by the Huns. We should avoid its edge for the time being, evacuate all the border cities, and wait for the Huns to enter the country, and then attack them in one fell swoop, which is the best policy. ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Now that the military minister Shan Yu has been captured, the Xiongnu prince Yu Shan is weak, and the prince's younger brother Yizhi is slanting his eyes, it is the best time for us to counterattack. General Wei. He paused for a moment before adding, "I hope the general doesn't miss the opportunity." ”

Wei Qing was silent for a long time before nodding slowly.

After a while, Wei Qing raised his head again, glanced at the Dai Guo Weng who was standing quietly outside the tent, and said slowly: "Shanggu, Daijun...... If the king can fight well, then it will be fine; However, the king is very old, and the prince is young, and most of the county ** is abandoned there. If the county ** and us help, the odds of victory will be greatly increased. It's a pity—"

It's a pity that he can't fight on behalf of the king, and neither can he act on behalf of the prince, and the acting prince is purely an ornament.

Thinking of this, Wei Qing's mood became a little heavy, and his tone was a little deep, and he said, "You go." ”

Gao Su responded and withdrew from the tent.

In the hazy moonlight, the Han soldiers were still patrolling in twos and threes. He saw Ah Yao standing in the moonlight, with her back to them, staring at a pointed wooden spear in a daze. Gao Su stepped forward, her tall and straight figure completely enveloped her, and called in a low voice, "A-Yao." ”

She turned her head to look at him and said with a smile, "Have you already negotiated with General Wei?" ”

Gao Su bowed his head slightly and said, "It's been negotiated." So he led her to a forest outside the camp. This is the place where they had stayed for half the night before Gao Su left, and the surroundings were very quiet, and no one would come to disturb them.

Gao Su wrapped his powerful arms around her waist, rested his chin on the top of her head, and sighed faintly.

She completely relaxed, leaned on Gao Su's arms, rubbed the back of his hand with her fingertips, and said softly, "Originally, I had a lot of things to say to you. But when I first saw you, I didn't know where to start. ”

Gao Su heard this, and laughed lowly.

He rubbed her cheek affectionately, the bridge of his nose crossed the tail of her eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse: "So, it's not mine." Ah Yao thought about it carefully, no matter what she said, I listened to it word for word. ”

With that, he leaned over the side of her neck and kissed her gently.

The warm kiss fell on her skin, and even the slightly cool skin became slightly hot.

She leaned into Gao Su's arms, pillowed her head on his shoulder socket, and muttered, "Those words were all things I wanted to ask you a long time ago." For example, why do you want to do those dangerous things, such as I am going back to Daiguo, and I don't know when the next time we meet. For example......

Gao Su hugged her quietly, and listened to those "examples" word for word. For example, when he left, she was actually a little worried in her heart, but she did not say that until he returned smoothly, her heart slowly settled down. For example, after she heard that he had captured the military minister Shan Yu, she suddenly became a little worried about whether the Huns would hate him to the core, and then retaliate frantically.

She told him everything in her heart, one by one.

Gao Su hugged her, listened quietly, kissed her on the cheek from time to time, and laughed low in her ear. He knew that Ah Yao cared about himself in his heart, and this realization made him happy. But A-Yao confessed his worries in those days, and he felt a little apologetic in his heart.

Just this once. He said to himself that this was the last time.

He leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips, and said vaguely: "I also have a sentence that I want to confess to A-Yao." ”

The voice was low, slightly hoarse, as if that day before leaving, the king of Lanling was dumb when he wanted to speak and stopped.

She straightened up from his arms, tilted her head slightly to look at him, and asked with some curiosity, "What are the words?" ”

He froze, and suddenly felt a little cramped.

Those words had remained in his heart for many days, and they were sinking like a piece of lead. Last time, before leaving, he wanted to say it to Ah Yao, but he was not sure at that time, so he put it down for the time being.

Now, Ah Yao is about to leave and go to Daiguo, and the next time she will meet, I don't know when it will be.

So he-

Gao Su cupped her cheek, stared into her eyes, and asked word by word, "A-Yao, is it okay to marry me again?" ”

The most difficult words have already been spoken, and the following words seem to have become logical. He caressed her cheek, and muttered with some regret and some unwillingness: "In the last life, I was destined to be alone, and I suffered in troubled times, and I was so tired that you also suffered together. A-Yao, I've always been in my heart - I want to be a husband and wife with you for another life, and be a white head with you, are you willing? ”

He looked at her without blinking for a moment, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

She moved her lips slightly and said, "I ......"

Oh my God, why did he suddenly say that she would marry him, there was no sign at all, shouldn't she have been in love for a while, oh no, they were already in love, so she should promise him, oh my God, she was not prepared at all, how to be a bride, if she suddenly agreed, would it seem too abrupt, if she didn't agree, would he be sad, no, this was originally agreed by them in their last life......

Her mind was a mess, and even her eyes were a little foggy. Gao Su was still looking at her heavily, and there was a big lake in her inky pupils, slowly encompassing her in it, and unconsciously, she subconsciously responded: "Okay, good." ”

A low laugh rang out in her ears, and then a warm kiss landed on the corner of her lips, gently and shallowly, as he usually used to be gentle. She nudged his shoulder, but he put his hand over his eyes, and heard him sigh deeply, "A-Yao." ”

A warm and affectionate kiss, warm and pure.

She grabbed his hand, looked at him with a hazy gaze, and asked softly, "Then when are you going to marry me?" ”

He was stunned, then laughed deeply. Another gentle kiss landed on her forehead. "A-Yao." He sighed lowly, "You are the princess. Therefore, if I want to marry you, I must at least worship the official and the marquis. Then another gentle kiss landed on her eyes, "I've been preparing these things." A-Yao. He kissed her deeply, tossing and turning repeatedly, "Wait for me." ”

A heavy "wait for me" made Yun Yao insomnia all night.

From the time she was sent back to the camp by Gao Su, to the next day when she was sent back to Dai Guo by Gao Su, and then to the half month along the rugged and winding road in ancient times, all the way back to Dai Guo, she was repeatedly recalling the sentence "Wait for me". Gao Su said that she was a princess, and if she wanted to marry her, she had to worship the official and be a marquis, but in this Han Dynasty, those who were officials were filial piety and honesty, and all those who were marquises were-

Those who were marquis of the Western Han Dynasty were all generals with great achievements.

Yun Yao remembered Gao Su's words and eyes full of deep meaning before she left; And what Gao Su has done these days, there is still something he doesn't understand in his heart. If at the beginning, he wanted to kill the Bank of China, it was for the Han army; Later, he led people to raid the Hun camp and captured the army minister Shan Yu, all in order to make immortal military exploits and pay homage to the generals.

He—he's genuinely, and he really wants to marry himself.

She held the three copper coins in her hand, her expression was stunned, as if she wanted to laugh, and there was a faint astringency.

There were very few marquis in the Western Han Dynasty, and even fewer young marquis.

He is fighting on the battlefield with his own life.

This heart was too heavy, and she was a little overwhelmed.

Yun Yao leaned in the carriage, looking at the decoration on the roof of the car, her eyes were full of astringency. She didn't know whether she should marry obediently, or do something for him to be worthy of his deep affection.

Chang Gong ......

Daiguo's carriage gurgled through two winding country roads, and then drove through an avenue, and finally came to the capital of Daiguo. It is more prosperous than Shanggu County, but compared to Chang'an City, it is overshadowed.

As soon as the king of Jiaoxi got out of the carriage, he immediately began to command himself, saying for a while that he was hurt by the carriage, and for a while saying that the people of Daiguo were really rude, and he actually looked at her several times on the road, if he was in Jiaoxi, he would have even gouged out their eyeballs...... The list goes on and on.

Yun Yao wanted to step forward to stop her, but after thinking about it, they still had to go to see the acting king, so they ignored those remarks for the time being.

Every noon, the acting king would take care of government affairs in his palace.

When Yun Yao and King Weng of Jiaoxi returned to the palace, it was precisely the time for the king to deal with government affairs, and there was not only the king in the palace, but also the prime minister, the captain, the imperial doctor, the general and the captain of the country, and so on. Even Liu Yang, the acting prince who had not shown up for a long time, took up a place in the couch next to him.

Yun Yao obediently stepped forward and led the king of Jiaoxi to the acting king, saying that he had already brought it back.

Then she picked out some important contemporaries of what had happened in these days.

When the acting king heard that his daughter was in distress on the way, and that she had stayed in the barracks for half a month, he was so distressed that his beard trembled, and immediately ordered the palace maid to take the two lords back to the palace, bathe, change clothes, and entertain them with food and water, and try his best to make them live comfortably. While bathing and changing clothes, the king of Jiaoxi said to Yun Yao lazily, this is barely a place for people to stay.

Yun Yao closed her eyes, thinking about her own thoughts, and didn't want to pay attention to the Weng master.

The king of Jiaoxi said for a while, and felt bored, so he began to support Gong'e and take this and that for himself.

Yun Yao got up to change her clothes, and called the female officials in charge of her palace to come to her, telling them to take care of this Jiaoxi Wang Weng and not let her run around, and then went to the palace of the acting king. Just before leaving, she seemed to hear the acting king arguing with the captain about sending troops.

In the counties of the Western Han Dynasty, there were their own lieutenants and generals, as well as their own garrisons.

However, these garrisons were generally not used lightly, and only when the Huns moved south, would they use the garrisons of the county to resist.

A few years ago, the Huns went south to plunder, and the garrisons of the county fought very hard. But this year, Liu Che decided to attack the Xiongnu, and sent tens of thousands of troops to the north, which immediately reduced the pressure on the garrison of the county. Therefore, they were arguing just now whether they needed to send all the county ** out to meet the Xiongnu together with the four-way army from Chang'an City.

After Yun Yao asked the acting king carefully, he learned that the two great victories of Wei Qing and others in the north had completely angered the Huns.

Now the Huns began to fight back frantically, and the flames of war burned all the way from Yanmen County to Shanggu County, and none of the border cities along the way were spared.

"Father has a headache right now." The acting king slapped his forehead and sighed, "It stands to reason that the acting kingdom should send troops. But Ah Yan and Ah Yang, you also know that my father has been a little scared over the years. ”

The acting prince pursed his lips and said, "Didn't my father receive a letter from the general of the chariot a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, the letter of the cavalry general Wei Qing." The acting king sighed again and again, "If it weren't for the letter from General Wei Qing, my father really planned to fool the past like this, or use this county ** to help." But now, General Wei Qing invited his father to surround him, and his father's old bones really couldn't stand it. ”

When the acting king said this, he suddenly glanced at his son and said, "Why don't you go to Ayang?" ”

"I'm going?!" The acting prince was taken aback, and shook his head again and again, "A weak scholar like me, who is powerless, can only talk on paper, and can't even talk well on paper, take the county ** to go, isn't it sent to death." Father still chooses two useful generals from the county, hands them over the talisman seal, and asks them to take the county **. ”

The acting king glanced at him and said, "The generals who can be used are almost all killed in battle." ”

The acting prince jumped up with a thud and stammered, "Tremble, tremble, tremble...... Killed in battle? ”

"yes, they're all dead." Dai Wang's voice was a little heavy, "In recent years, the Huns have frequently gone south, and eight times out of ten they will pass through Dai County. I sent all the generals that could be used by the country to the battlefield, but none of them survived three years. ”

Speaking of this, the acting king suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Now there is only one captain left to me by my father." ”

The acting prince couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the captain with white hair.

"Then there is no other way?" The acting prince frowned and said, "You can't just point to a scholar at will?" ”

The palace fell silent for a while, and the acting king and the acting prince were silent for each other. Suddenly, a clear and quiet voice sounded beside him: "Since my father and brother don't want to go, then you might as well let me go." ”

Both the king and the prince were taken aback, and when they followed the prestige, they found that it was their daughter (sister) who spoke out.

"Ah Yan, don't mess around." The king shook his beard.

Yun Yao shook her head and said softly, "I'm not messing around. Brother Wang is the future acting king, so naturally he can't go to the battlefield at will, nor can he leave the royal capital at will, but I am the lord of Weng, so I don't need to worry about this. And—" She lingered on the prince for a moment, and said, "I can still go in the name of Brother Wang." ”
