(In a word, 35 degrees of weather, no air conditioner and no fan, the update you see is full of sweat!!) ）

As long as it wasn't Bai Rongbo or Chen Sinian, who rushed into Kunning Palace with a large number of people and forced her to come out to meet, Gu Xiaoxiao would have a way to get through.

Feng Yu stopped seeing that she was preparing so properly, and also felt that he had reacted too much before, the Queen Mother has always been a person with ideas, since she has the intention to leave the palace, the risks are naturally clear.

The Queen Mother is not in the palace, so he must stay here to deal with emergencies in the palace at any time, and even more to avoid accidents in Kunning Palace.

Gu Xiaoxiao was very grateful for Feng Yuzhu's understanding and support, and under his contact, Min Ze agreed to meet her and make an appointment to meet at Qingfeng Restaurant in the city.

It was a very small restaurant, but the place was not remote, and it belonged to the sphere of influence of Yiluansi. Most of the people who usually drink and rest in it are people from Yiluan, and ordinary people don't like to come here.

After leaving the palace, Gu Xiaoxiao changed her clothes, took a few guards, and went to Qingfeng Building first.

The capital is bustling and lively, the tall figure and light blue eyes of exotic merchants are full of exotic style, and the orchid is hot and amorous, looking forward to shining in the wine shop.

This is the first time that Gu Xiaoxiao has truly felt the customs of the Great Zhou, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven live a healthy and prosperous life, and the people are more modest and courteous.

It's just that Gu Xiaoxiao knows that this is just the glamorous side of the capital, and when she walks in a prosperous place, what she sees is living and working in peace and contentment.

There are also poor people in the capital, who are ragged and do not have enough to eat, and they may only be able to beg as a person, and they will be looked down upon and insulted.

This is life, there is never pure light and complete darkness. Gu Xiaoxiao sat in the carriage, watching the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people all the way, and after arriving at Qingfeng Building, he opened a private room and waited for Min Ze's arrival inside.

The Yiluan Si guards who escorted her here had been guarding outside the room, and the whole person was in a tense state.

After Gu Xiaoxiao drank a cup of tea, the guard reminded her that Min Ze and his party had arrived at Ping'an Street, where Qingfeng Building was located.

Qingfeng Building has three floors, and Gu Xiaoxiao's private room is just on the third floor, she got up and used a bamboo pole to prop up half of the Xuan window, looked downstairs from a distance, and saw Min Ze and his party at a glance.

Min Ze has a waist and ape back, standing as tall as a javelin, with a scar on his face from sideburns to the corners of his eyes, and a pair of eyes as sharp as lightning.

I don't know if he has a murderous aura all around him, or if they are all tall and have distinct facial features, unlike people in the capital, the people walked everywhere, and the people retreated one after another.

After a long distance, someone dared to secretly point his finger at the group and discuss.

This kind of Min Ze overlaps with Gu Xiaoxiao's imagination of Min Ze, and there is no sense of disobedience. It reminded her of a poem, a poem that made people's blood boil.

Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis?

Just as she was watching upstairs, Min Ze suddenly raised her head, her eyes stabbed straight at her like a sharp sword, Gu Xiaoxiao raised her chin slightly, with a smile in her eyes.

She wore a cyan round-necked robe and a scarf on her head, whose name sounded magnificent, but in fact it was just a net scarf knotted with jade ornaments and small ropes, which adult men used to tie their hair.

This is still the dress of the aristocracy, and if it is a commoner, only a square scarf can tie up the long hair.

Min Ze and his party were already very close to Qingfeng Building, he nodded at Gu Xiaoxiao, and after a moment's effort, there was a commotion outside the door.

He recognized her, Gu Xiaoxiao felt that it was a little interesting, she was not boasting, with her disguise technique, a woman dressed as a man would never appear, and she only took off her earrings and changed her clothes and drew her eyebrows, and she felt that she was pretending to be a man.

But Min Ze could still see it at a glance, and Gu Xiaoxiao felt that maybe he nodded earlier just out of politeness.

"My lord, General Min has arrived, do you want to meet him now?"

A guard entered and asked respectfully.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded at the guards and motioned for him to invite people in.

The door opened. Min Ze walked in alone, and the rest of the people stayed outside the door.

There was only a distance of seven or eight steps between the two, Min Ze was burly and tall and dignified, and when he looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, there was almost no color in his eyes, and he bowed and said loudly: "The last general will see the Queen Mother." ”

His voice is full of majesty, just looking at his appearance, no one can believe that he is only twenty or ten now, and he has just been crowned.

Gu Xiaoxiao was looking at Min Ze and was also accepting his scrutiny.

Min Ze's sword eyebrows were dashing and high-spirited, and in the face of the queen mother after the disguise, there was no surprise or attachment.

Although Gu Xiaoxiao's identity in the palace was embarrassing, and there was indeed nothing to cling to, Min Ze unabashedly revealed her thoughts, which was unexpected and reasonable.

Young and promising, fighting on the battlefield, he does have the ability to be arrogant.

"Major General, please be seated."

Gu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, his clear voice made Min Ze raise his eyebrows, and after he sat down generously and thanked him, the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Thank you Queen Mother for giving me a seat, it's better to be famous than to meet, it's really a strange woman to be too consequence." ”

At worst, he said that he was bold, and at worst, he was frivolous, not to mention that in terms of seniority, Gu Xiaoxiao was a generation older than him.

But Gu Xiaoxiao was not angry, and smiled back: "The wall has ears, don't mention the word Queen Mother, just call me Yujun." Major General Min was born and died for the people, and fought bloodily at the border pass, I will give you a cup first. ”

Jade Jun is Gu Xiaoxiao's name for herself, she doesn't want her life to be confined to the palace walls, but if she wants to run a career outside the palace, whether it is the identity of the Queen Mother or Wu Baozhu, it cannot be easily revealed.

Min Ze happily picked up the wine glass and saluted with both hands: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and I'll do this glass below." ”

He raised his head and drank it all, and put the empty cup on the table, and he already had a lot of good feelings for Gu Xiaoxiao.

Drinking alcohol is a common thing for those of them who lick life all year round, and it is also common for them to pick up the wine jar and drink wildly when they rise.

Before coming, Min Ze had also hesitated, although when Feng Yuzhu intended to form an alliance with him, he had said that this was the intention of the emperor and the queen mother.

But he didn't believe it after all, who didn't know that His Majesty inherited the throne at the age of three, and now he is five years old. A young child who has not dried up, even if he is talented, it is difficult to have the insight to punish and praise loyalty.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Wu Baozhu, just looking at the decline of the Wu family to the point that there is no one in the court, and the life of the wife in the family is taken away, you can know what kind of embarrassing position she is in the palace.

At the beginning, Min Ze was suspicious of Feng Yuzhi's olive branch, thinking that he was trying to bring him under his command in the name of the imperial court.

Min Ze is a proud man, he has the righteousness of his family and country in his heart, but he sneers at foolish loyalty. Chen Sinian covered the sky in the capital with one hand, Emperor Huirong's death was unknown, the little emperor who was nearly three years old was hastily pushed to the throne, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne It was a bloody power struggle.

The people are still being harassed by the barbarians, and the soldiers are desperately guarding the Great Zhou to protect their relatives, but those silverfish are scavenging the people's fat and ointment to satisfy their selfish desires.

Since Min Ze can remember, what he has seen is that the barbarians are in turmoil, the people are unbearable, the court is stupid and blindly greedy, and the hot-blooded men of the Zhenxi Army are throwing their heads here and spilling human blood.

There were also strife in the army, but they were by no means as intriguing as in the imperial court. They speak with swords, and they have their own set of rules.

The covenant that Fengyu stopped throwing over was almost not attractive to Min Ze except for the fact that he could raise private soldiers.

Min Ze refused at first, but a letter from the capital made him waver.

Fengyu stopped counting Chen Sinian's rampant actions, and pointed out the things that he couldn't win over and framed him one by one, and also vaguely hinted that Chen Sinian intended to confuse the royal blood and plot to seize the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, he also pointed out the situation that the Min family may face after offending Chen Sinian.

After living at the border for a long time, although Min Ze knew that Chen Sinian was insidious and ruthless, he didn't know that he had the intention to seek a career in the country.

After deliberation, Min Ze chose to cooperate with Feng Yu, if the matter of private accumulation of relatives was discovered, it would be trivial, but Feng Yuzhu was willing to provide funding, and it was difficult to get out of the relationship.

Even after agreeing to cooperate, Min Ze still expressed doubts about what Feng Yuzhu said, and the mastermind behind it was the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor.

It wasn't until more than a year ago that the situation in the palace had indeed changed, and Chen Sinian's power in the court had also been suppressed, that Min Ze began to believe that all this might really be related to the Empress Dowager and the little emperor.

Then, the consequence is really an amazing woman, after receiving the will to enter Beijing, Min Ze is looking forward to seeing this strange woman.

Glancing at the street, looking at the bland face upstairs in Qingfeng that was difficult to have any connection with a woman, Min Ze had a hunch that the person who looked at him upstairs was the Queen Mother Wu Baozhu.

Even if everyone knows that the Queen Mother Wu Baozhu is quiet and virtuous, she is beautiful and fragrant, and she has amazed the Quartet when she got married.

But Min Ze just felt that the man upstairs with a plain appearance was the one who had been in contact with him through Feng Yu.

As it turned out, he had guessed correctly, and the person who appeared in front of him after the door opened verified her guess.

"The last general at the border pass, familiar with the military book given by Yujun Jun, has benefited a lot, thank you here!"

Min Ze picked up the wine glass and drank it again, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't accompany him this time, only added a glass for him and said with a smile: "I have heard that Major General Min is not drunk in a thousand cups, and the amount of alcohol is meager, so I won't accompany the general to get drunk before resting." ”

She speaks decently, without arrogance, and without flattery, and has a very good appetite for Min Ze.

If he has a strange woman in his eyes, and his bewitching appearance wants to use his identity as a woman to hook him as a minister under his skirt, so as to manipulate and use him, Min Ze will feel that he has lost his appetite.

The frontier wine is strong, and it chokes the throat when you drink it, and it is spicy until it reaches the stomach, and it is very refreshing to sweat again.

The wine in the capital is soft and mellow and has a long aftertaste, but it is not the taste that Min Ze is used to, and he put down the cup after drinking two more glasses.

The two talked casually, and in order to shorten the distance between the two, Gu Xiaoxiao specially talked about the customs of the southwest, and attracted the admiration and worship of the frontier soldiers.

Min Ze is brave and good at fighting, but he is not a reckless man, and the frontier war is full of ups and downs when he talks about it, which makes the people who listen to it full of pride and can't help but boil their blood.

In the end, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lean over, the light in her eyes flashed, and she looked at Min Ze with full attention.

Before talking, Min Ze thought that the Queen Mother would talk about some court movements and changes in the palace, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to lead the topic to the southwest.

After talking about it happily, Min Ze suddenly laughed: "Yu Yujun has a good insight, which makes people willing to bow down, I am fortunate to meet today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Being able to win Min Ze's approval was a surprise for Gu Xiaoxiao, she took out a few pages of drawings from her sleeve, put them on the table and gently pushed them forward.

The wind blew in through the window, and the white paper and black letters, as well as the delicate drawings of bows and crossbows, lay on the table without moving.

Min Ze, who was still immersed in the joy of knowing himself, suddenly appeared in front of him a blueprint of a bow and crossbow, and he was itchy for a while, so he grabbed it directly in his hand and observed it carefully.

"Divine Arm Crossbow?"

Just as a person who practices martial arts will be happy when he sees the secret book of martial arts, a person who is good at fighting will lose his temper when he sees a weapon.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, sat upright and said solemnly: "This is the Divine Arm Crossbow, which I turned out from the books treasured in the palace and improved it by the hands of skilled craftsmen." ”

Min Ze eagerly flipped through a few drawings that were not too thick, and there were words in his mouth: "Take mountain mulberry wood as the crossbow, use sandalwood as the crossbow body, iron as the gun breech, steel as the machine, hemp rope as the string, and silk as the string." The bow is three feet three feet long, the string is two feet five, and it shoots three hundred paces, and it is heavy and heavy."

"Is this crossbow really so amazing? Why haven't I heard of the Divine Arm Crossbow? “

Min Ze held the blueprint of the Divine Arm Crossbow in one hand, and stood up suddenly, his body almost crossing the table to touch Gu Xiaoxiao.

If it weren't for Gu Xiaoxiao disguised as a man, his actions would definitely be regarded as a disciple in the eyes of outsiders.

Min Ze looked excited, not so much a question as a rhetorical question, although he had never seen a divine arm crossbow, but he still had a little understanding of the principle of the bow and crossbow, if this bow and crossbow could be made, the combat power of the Zhenxi army would be greatly improved.

"God doesn't take it, but suffers from it, since the god arm crossbow appeared by chance, it proves that God bless me Da Zhou. After General Min Shao returns to the southwest, it is better to find skilled craftsmen in the army to make the divine arm crossbow. In a fool's opinion, if a strong crossbow army can be established in the army, it will definitely be a great help in the future. ”

Gu Xiaoxiao has led troops to fight in the past, and in the era of cold weapons, he understands what it means for an army to be in a strong crossbow army with strong combat effectiveness.

After listening to her words, Min Ze read the drawings in his hand again, immediately laughed, sat down on the chair, and said three times in a row: "Thank you for the kindness of the Yuyu Army, with the divine arm crossbow in hand, I am a good man in Da Zhou, and I will be expelled from the country!" ”

His impassioned words made Gu Xiaoxiao very moved, she didn't look at the wrong person, Min Ze cares about the world, is full of enthusiasm, is a well-deserved pillar of the country, and will also be the backbone of the Great Zhou.

"In addition to the Divine Arm Crossbow, I have prepared some gifts, but they have not yet been prepared. After the banquet in the palace of Major General Min, he asked Director Feng to hand it over. ”

Hearing that there were other gifts, Min Ze's eyes lit up, he walked around the stool excitedly, patted Gu Xiaoxiao's shoulder boldly, and said excitedly: "Yuyu-jun is really atmospheric, from now on you will be my Min Ze's brother!" ”

“……”

Gu Xiaoxiao is a little square, is she too successful in pretending to be a man? (To be continued.) )
