Wang Fenghuai came to Yangzhou with a mission, and his lord ordered him to detect the movements of the upper echelons of the Red Turban Army, contact a force that could be contacted, and prepare for the recapture of Yangzhou. Therefore, in addition to attending the wedding, he never gave up the idea of spying on the news, but unfortunately the gang of thieves of the Red Turban Army looked at him very closely, and even the best shiny gold was not good, which made Wang Fenghuai very angry.

After the wedding, he stayed for a few more days, but only heard news such as the Wei government's determination to increase money, food, and troops, and he was skeptical of the news that was unfavorable to him, believing that it was a deliberate trick by the Red Turban Army. However, he was very interested in the ** who left early on the day of Yan Zhao's wedding banquet, and originally thought that this was a sign of discord between the generals, but who knew that it was his wife who was sick!

Cut, what's the big deal about my wife being sick, a dignified man actually angered the king because of this little thing, the general of the Red Turban Army is really girly, and he went to visit Zhao's house together. What's even funnier is that ** got up as the first general under Yan Zhao, and when her mother-in-law was sick, she panicked and had no master, so she didn't ask for a famous doctor in Yangzhou, but believed in a little girl, who is said to be the chief medical officer of the Red Turban Army.

Tsk, the men of the Red Turban Army all bow down under the women's skirts and circle around the women, what's the point?

What, drive him away and let him go back to his life as soon as possible? Hehe, who rarely lives in your broken annex, there is neither wine nor Meiji, who is happy to live!

Swallow our territory, what's the big deal, sooner or later you'll spit out all of you thieves! When Wang Fenghuai left, he looked at this Yangzhou city, which was more prosperous and wealthy than during Zhang Suiming's occupation, and his eyes shot greed. His lord will soon bring his troops back to kill, and everything here is still theirs!

He didn't know that every pair of eyes in Yangzhou City were staring at his every move. The common people hated this messenger of the dog thief, they accurately captured the greed and murderous intent in his expression, and actively reported what they saw to the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, and did not forget to add oil and vinegar, hoping that Wang Fenghuai would not be able to leave Yangzhou City.

It's a pity that it's just a good wish. Just ten days after Wang Fenghuai left, another group of envoys arrived in Yangzhou, and these cavalrymen in bright armor sent an invitation from Zhang Suiming.

"Zhang Peddler wants to ally with us?" **When I learned the content of the invitation, it was like hearing a big joke: "He can't wait to swallow us, what kind of alliance will be talked about in a fake way, hahahaha!" ”

"This man has been planning for a long time," Xue Ji put down the carefully examined invitation, "I'm afraid he was ready before Wang Fenghuai came, and he chose the time and place one by one, and even hinted that he could sacrifice a few cities to show his sincerity." ”

Yang Wei was incredulous: "Is he a fool when we are?" "Can't see it's a trap?

Xue Ji smiled helplessly: "I knew it was a trap, but I had to go." Who made this an invitation to a truce. "The paper is full of words for the sake of the people in Jiangnan, if Yan Zhao doesn't go, he will have an excuse to condemn Yan Zhao for being unreasonable, regardless of the life and death of the people, just to use this to crusade. It is estimated that when the invitation arrived, Zhang Suiming had already distributed its content everywhere.

Chu Dongyuan said indifferently: "If you want to fight, you will fight, who is afraid of him?" ”

"Fighting is going to fight, but we have to stand on the side that seems to be righteous," Yi Cui took the gilded invitation and looked at it, and said slowly, "The latest news shows that Zhang Suiming and the Dajing government are on the line, and this time his action is probably the support and instruction of the Dajing side." ”

Song Wuyi was puzzled: "Dajing was attacked by Shi Wei and Beihu in turn, and Kung Fu is in charge of the affairs of the south?" ”

Xue Ji smiled: "Now the Wen Xiang under one person is best at sowing discord, Zhang Suiming was beaten by us to only half of the territory, and he survived." Dajing doesn't need to send troops, he only needs to give money and a holy decree to correct Zhang Suiming's name, so that Zhang Ming's heart can be moved, and Wen Xiang's little abacus can be fine. ”

Chu Dongyuan sneered: "He has the heart to move us, and it depends on whether he has the ability." ”

Wen Wu said a word to me, and analyzed the ins and outs of this matter thoroughly, but the final decision still had to be made by Yan Zhao. He flipped through the invitation and finally said, "Go, but the place and time are up to us." ”

Yan Zhao raised his eyes and looked at **: "My wife hasn't been out of confinement yet, and my son hasn't even done a full moon wine, so I let you lead the troops to the battle, will it be inhumane?" ”

What does the alliance need to go on? **As soon as I heard it, I knew that the king had his own plans, patted his chest and said with a smile: "Where the king is pointing, where the end will be beaten, there is no ambiguity!" ”

At that time, Zhao's mansion was quiet and warm, Mrs. Zhao had a belt wrapped around her forehead, holding a white and tender baby in her arms, her eyes were full of love, and she didn't know that the situation outside was already surging, and there would be a storm soon. Today is the last time Gu Chaoge gave Mrs. Zhao a follow-up visit, after her high fever subsided that night, there was still a recurrence at night, and it gradually improved on the second day, the black color of the tongue coating receded, and the condition improved day by day.

Six days after this incident, Mrs. Zhao was about to give birth, and Gu Chaoge took over the errand of Wen Po, and gave birth to a little boy for the Zhao family. Even the newlywed Yan'er's Wei Tong came to visit, hoping to get some joy and give birth to a baby for Yan Zhao as soon as possible.

"Chaoge, you really impress me, how can you connect with life? When I conceive and give birth to a child, I will be relieved that you will be responsible for me. After Wei Tong got married, she combed her woman's bun, but her face was full of the shy posture of her little daughter's family, and she didn't look as calm as before she got married, but became more lively.

Gu Chaoge was silently envious, thinking that Yan Zhao must be quite fond of her, just by seeing that she was emitting pink light uncontrollably every day.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhao, Wei Tong took Gu Chaoge's arm and walked out of the gate of the Zhao family intimately, but saw a man leading a horse standing by the dismounting stone at the door. Wei Tong glanced at it, and immediately winked at Gu Chaoge: "Oh, it seems that I am not lucky to go back with you, who let you come here?" ”

Chu Dongyuan smiled and bowed to Wei Tong: "I've seen Mrs. Jun." My sister has been busy for so many days, and if I don't take her out to play, I will feel distressed. ”

If these words were said by other men, they might seem frivolous, but when they came out of Chu Dongyuan's mouth, they seemed very sincere. Wei Tong felt that Chu Dongyuan was very good, he brought up Gu Chaoge since he was a child, knew his roots, and was in good health, he was very good to her, ten times better than Yi Cui. The only fly in the ointment is that he is also a famous general, and sooner or later he will have to go on an expedition to sell his life.

In these troubled times, who can predict what tomorrow will bring? Grasping the moment is true, Wei Tong pushed Gu Chaoge, who was still hesitating, forward and winked at her: "Go, I'll go back to the house by myself." As he spoke, he saluted Chu Dongyuan, got into the carriage happily, and even took the cage that Gu Chaoge was carrying.

Gu Chaoge raised his eyes and looked at his senior brother, and saw that he was dressed in a white robe with silver thread embroidered in casual clothes, an indigo moire belt tied to his thin waist, and not a single entourage soldier did not bring it, so he knew that he really came to play with her. Thinking of this, she felt happy, although she had known her senior brother for half a month, but she was always busy with all kinds of things, and she didn't have the opportunity to talk about it together, and now she saw that her senior brother remembered her, and couldn't help but smile: "Where are you going?" ”

"In the city, in the suburbs, you can go wherever you want," Chu Dongyuan patted the specially selected docile mare and said with a smile, "Get on the horse, I'll take the lead, and our two brothers and sisters will walk slowly." ”

Gu Chaoge's equestrian skills are average, but she does know how to ride, she happily climbed up by herself, touched the horse's mane, thought about it and said, "Aren't you going to discuss today, it's already over?" ”

Chu Dongyuan was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

He said it when he had a routine consultation with Itri this morning. He also said that the senior generals and staff groups who were staying in Yangzhou today would all participate in the deliberations, and if she had something, I was afraid that it would be difficult to find someone for a while, so she should not run around. Listening to Yi Cui's tone, it seemed that something big was going to happen, but Gu Chaoge didn't ask, she only felt strange, Yi Cui had never taken the initiative to tell her this kind of thing before, but recently, he ......

I often have nothing to say.

She thought about Yi Cui, and was distracted for a while, and it took a while before she replied to Chu Dongyuan: "I'm the king's chief medical officer, why can't I know?" Is it important that you are discussing today? ”

Chu Dongyuan held the reins with one hand, stretched out a finger with the other hand and put it to his lips, turned back to her and smiled: "Shh, secret." ”

Cut, what's the big deal, she went to ask Yi Cui, and he would definitely tell her, senior brother is like this, always treat her as a child. Gu Chaoge pursed his lips, and felt that he didn't dare to really ask Yi Cui, he always felt that he was weird recently, sometimes he was unhappy for no reason, and sometimes he seemed to deliberately want to keep her longer, anyway...... Nothing is right.

Chu Dongyuan led the horse to take her out of the alley of the Zhao family, it is late autumn now, and the willows by the lake have long been only bare branches, Chu Dongyuan does not take her to enjoy the scenery, and goes to the lively place to drill. The horse walks very slowly, and it won't hurt anyone, she sits comfortably on the horse, and if she likes something, Chu Dongyuan will pay for it for her, so that she can eat and play by herself, just like when she was a child.

But after all, it is still a little different from when she was a child, similar to the last time Wei Tong went out with her, Chu Dongyuan found that her junior sister was very popular, and someone greeted her wherever she went, as if everyone in Yangzhou City recognized her. Several times, he bought things for her, but people still refused to accept the money, if he hadn't insisted on giving it, maybe half of Dongsheng Street would have allowed her to eat white food.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who can't wait to let her see a doctor when they see her, Chu Dongyuan feels that her junior sister is too soft, and when people ask for it, she immediately dismounts to show others, and there is no famous doctor at all. And I took her out to play today, how did it become a house call to see a doctor, or is it free? Chu Dongyuan thought that he would teach and teach the little tear bag later, so that she would not know if she was taken advantage of.

Here Gu Chaoge just touched the pulse of a pregnant woman, and instructed some words, Yangzhou City said that it was big and big, and it was small and small, and the matter of her giving birth to Mrs. Zhao at the same time spread all over the world in a few days, I used to think that she was a little girl and was not good at gynecology, but now many pregnant women also love to come to her for consultation. The pregnant woman got her instructions, and stuffed the osmanthus cake she had just bought into her hand, and thanked her for her kindness, Gu Chaoge was just about to turn around and go back, but she heard a woman stop her: "This is not ...... Miss Gu? ”

Gu Chaoge turned around and smiled, it was the proprietress who called her when she came to Yangzhou Guest House, and when she was caught by Wei Taishou's people, she was still worried about herself.

"Is Miss Gu on call today, or is it ...... Out to play? The proprietress peeked at Chu Dongyuan, who was standing on the side of the street with a horse, and smiled knowingly: "This one is better than that lame man." Giving a thumbs up as he spoke, Chu Dongyuan's ears were pointed, his face was silent, but his ears quietly turned around.

Gu Chaoge was embarrassed: "This is my senior brother, what a lame man, what are you talking about, boss." ”

"It's the day the Red Turban Army entered our Yangzhou City, the lame man who accompanied the army," the proprietress said casually, "That person is so strange, his men actually followed a donkey into my inn, and then invited me over for questioning." He said you lived with me, and asked me how you were doing, and I didn't see him as a bad person, and ...... He gave me a little more money, and I told him that you were captured by Wei Taishou. I think he cares about you. Speaking of this, the proprietress remembered in hindsight: "Speaking of which, now that Lord Yi of Taishou Mansion seems to be ......" seems to be famous for his inconvenient legs and feet?

Didn't she offend Lord Yi by what she said just now? That person has hung the head of the former Taishou on the head of the city! The proprietress covered her mouth in horror, immediately said that she had just said nothing, and then very quickly picked up her basket and went to her inn quickly.

Gu Chaoge lost his mind when he heard it.

Itsuri was really nice to her at that time, if she didn't tell him that she liked him, would he have been so good to her all the time?

Thinking so, she felt a hand waving in front of her, she turned her head, and Chu Dongyuan bent over: "That woman, are you talking about Yi Cui?" ”

"What the hell is he doing to you? Also, do you like him? ”

Chu Dongyuan had wanted to ask these two questions for a long time, and only Yan Zhao and Wei Shang, two outsiders, knew about the refusal, and it was impossible for him to ask Yan Zhao, Wei Shang had been in contact with the ** school army these days, otherwise he would have turned his face with Yi Cui. Therefore, they could only get some gossip from the scribes of the Taishou Mansion, and everyone didn't dare to say it too bluntly, vaguely conveying ambiguous information between these two people, and this was enough for Chu Dongyuan to be displeased.

"Little tear bag, are you stupid, Yi Cui is not a good person, senior brother is not allowed, do you hear?" Chu Dongyuan flicked a chestnut on her forehead, and the ban was indiscriminately lowered.

Gu Chaoge rubbed his slightly aching forehead, and frowned slightly: "Senior brother, you are quite wide." ”

Chu Dongyuan was slightly stunned.

In an instant, he vaguely felt that the little tear bag was unhappy, and even the expression on his face was a little cold. That kind of cold look is actually a little similar to Yi Cui, but Chu Dongyuan and Yi Cui are not familiar with each other, he can't see it, he only knows that he is stunned in place.

Gu Chaoge crossed him and got on the horse by herself, and seeing that Chu Dongyuan was not moving, she grabbed the reins of the horse and turned around: "Senior brother, aren't you going shopping?" ”

It's as if nothing had just happened.

Chu Dongyuan hurriedly came over to lead the horse and took her to continue shopping, but thinking about her expression at that moment just now, Chu Dongyuan was still a little shaken. He knows that his junior sister has the softest and best temperament, and when he was bullied by him when he was a child, he would only cry and complain to the master, and he would not hold back his anger in his heart and bury it.

So he wouldn't believe that the little tear pack would turn his face with him for the sake of a mere Itsu.

I must have been mistaken just now, definitely. Chu Dongyuan comforted himself like this.
