?

Tianlan showed a hesitant look on his face, and said, "The general's proposal is very good, but I don't know how the battle is going now?"

Tie Xing'an was not suspicious, and said: "We have been fighting with Qinglong for more than ten days, during which we have fought three frontal skirmishes, and we have secretly 'clashed' no less than dozens of times. At present, our army is in an absolute upper hand, and the loess pass on the opposite side is determined to win!"

The Loess Pass is the first line of defense fortress in the Qinglong Territory, and it is far away from the Blood Sand Pass of the first line of defense in Qiyang, less than three hundred miles. Tianlan and the others are now in the Shaying Pass a little behind, and there is still a considerable distance from the real battlefield.

After hearing this, Tianlan had a plan in his heart, it seems that the two armies are still in the tentative stage at this moment, and the main force has not yet been launched. This period was dominated by mutual espionage and small-scale attacks. In fact, he originally wanted to know more, but he knew that it was impossible for Tie Xing'an to tell him too much when he met him for the first time, so he said, "Please General Rong Tianlan think about it." ”

Tie Xing'an didn't show much eagerness, and said, "Of course. After all, you are a warlock, and you are not a small danger on the battlefield. The enemy is always accustomed to destroying our warlocks first to avoid mass casualties. If you get close, it's really unthinkable. ”

Ye Yi couldn't bear to speak, and then said, "General Tie, you don't have to worry, Tianlan's swordsmanship is also very good!"

"Oh?" Tie Xing'an's eyes lit up.

Tianlan was silent on the surface, and complained in his heart about the guy next to him who leaked his bottom with one mouth, and said: "Tianlan only practices swordsmanship to strengthen his body, not to be elegant." ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Yi knew that he was modest, but Tie Xing'an didn't think so, looking at his thin arms and legs, it was impossible for him to have strong melee combat power, most of them were really used for physical fitness.

After talking to Tie Xing'an, they agreed to contact each other for three days, and the two of them left the General's Mansion. As soon as he left the mansion, Ye Yi clamored to see the army's training, and then went to find the veteran who introduced him that day. Tianlan couldn't control him, and while pondering his next move, he wandered around aimlessly.

After walking a short distance, I saw a few people in the corner. He happened to have seen these people, it was the civil official Guo Haoze and the county lord Xuanyuan Luo Yu who were driven out by Tie Xing'an just now, as well as the two personal guards of the county lord.

For these people, Tianlan didn't want to have too much contact with them from the bottom of his heart, and was about to walk away, when Guo Haoze recognized his clothes and shouted, "This little brother, please stay." ”

Tianlan was extremely puzzled, what was Guo Haoze doing when he stopped him? He was just an idle passer-by, and he didn't want to cause trouble at all...... However, no matter how people say it, he is also a high-ranking official, Tianlan didn't dare to ignore it, turned around and nodded to Guo Haoze, and said, "Lord Guo." ”

He has never heard of this Guo Haoze in Qinglong, and it is estimated that most of them have only recently 'emerged' to the fore, or their official rank is not high, so they have not been able to enter his eyes.

At this time, Xuanyuan Luo Yu also saw his face clearly, and immediately recognized the pair of deep black eyes he saw just now, and secretly said in his heart: It's him......

Guo Haoze stepped forward and said, "Little brother was talking with General Tie just now, I don't know what your relationship with General Tie is?"

Tianlan said: "The first time I saw General Tie today, it doesn't matter what. My companion seems to be appreciated by General Tie, and today General Tie also extended an invitation to his subordinates to be a member of the army. ”

Guo Haoze said: "I haven't consulted the name of the little brother yet." ”

He spoke very politely, if Tie Xing'an knew his details from Ye Yi, he would still understand that he was so polite to him, but this Guo Haoze didn't know anything, and he was actually so polite...... Could it be that Qiyang's people are so good?

Thinking so, Tianlan said politely: "In Xia Tianlan, I just came to Shaying Pass the day before yesterday, and I am not familiar with this place. Dare to ask the lord who ...... "He only knows that this civil official's surname is Guo, and he just heard Tie Xing'an call him."

Guo Haoze smiled, stroked his half-inch-long beard, and said, "The official's surname is Guo, and his name is Haoze." It's just a petty official here who is not famous. I wonder if the little brother would be interested in having a cup of tea with me?"

Tianlan couldn't figure out his intentions for a while, and was about to refuse. Xuanyuan Luo Yu said: "It's just right, Uncle Guo, you can come to the prince's mansion." The backyard is fresh and pleasant, and we haven't had a good conversation for a long time. ”

Guo Haoze laughed and said: "How can anyone refuse the invitation of our first beauty in Qiyang? Little brother, are you right?"

When it came to this, Tianlan was not easy to refuse, and after thinking about it, there should be no danger, so he readily agreed.

The prince's mansion is located in the northwest corner of Shaying Pass, the location is relatively remote, and the mansion itself is very magnificent. Compared with this place, the other mansions suddenly became shorter. Tianlan walked all the way in, silently remembering everything here all the way. With Xuanyuan Luo Yu leading, no one dared to be disrespectful to them.

His eyes seemed to be casually glancing around, but in his heart, he was carefully calculating the overall pattern of the place, the open and dark whistles, the entry and exit routes, and the retreat routes in special situations, etc. These are his almost instinctive reactions, and he always thinks about them first whenever he goes to a new place, especially this kind of hidden danger.

When he arrived in the backyard, even Tianlan was a little surprised. This small backyard condenses small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, and green trees, which can be said to be a typical style of water town, that is, the architectural style of the royal capital of Qiyang. However, this is a typical desert, it is difficult to find even a green tree, and it is really amazing that such a beautiful garden can be built here.

Seeing the surprise flashing in Tianlan's eyes, Xuanyuan Luo Yu explained: "When my father was surveying, he found that there was a natural spring underneath this place, so he bought this wasteland in time and built this garden. After many years of war, the 'chaos' did not really 'spread' to Shayingguan, so it is really not easy for this garden to survive......"

Speaking, she 'revealed' the unique emotion of the 'daughter's family, and the image point is to hurt the 'spring' and sad autumn, and cherish the 'flower' and love the willow.

Tianlan said: "It's a pity that there is only a corner of the beautiful scenery left here. The sea of corpses buried the wilderness, the war burned the remnants of the 'spring', and thousands of miles of desert set off an inch of land. It's not beauty, it's sadness. ”

Xuanyuan Luoyu's eyes showed a bit of strange 'color', she really didn't expect that what Tianlan said casually was much more profound than what she said. Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of her, she just thought that this beautiful scenery was not easy to preserve. However, what Tianlan thinks is the reason for the beautiful scenery in this small corner! In comparison, her opinion is obviously weaker.

Guo Haoze agreed with Tianlan's words and said, "The little brother is really a member of my generation. What is being said is, what can people gain in the midst of war and chaos? For decades, you have been fighting for each other, and the national borders have been 'turbulent' every year. Now, the yellow sand covers the white bones, what can the people get except for the thousands of miles of desert in front of them?"

Tianlan's heart moved, and he said, "Lord Guo doesn't seem to be optimistic about this war. ”

Guo Haoze shook his head and said: "Guo Moujie, a civilian official, how dare he criticize the victory or defeat of the war? It's just that the endless war and 'chaos' in the past few decades has made people's hearts ache and make people powerless. ”

Tianlan said: "Lord Guo is in a high position and has a high power, can't he still give advice and advice to avoid the 'chaos' of war?"

Xuanyuan Luo Yu led a few people to the small bridge and said, "You don't know anything. Although Uncle Guo has a very high reputation, he has many enemies, and under the suppression of the main battle faction, Uncle Guo is now only a third-grade official. Even if you make a statement, the effect is minimal, not to mention that the feud between Qi Yang and Qinglong is not something that can be resolved with a few words of advice. It's hard to understand the complexities of this. ”

Tianlan didn't speak, thinking to himself that he didn't know! But he couldn't say too much, but he had to pretend not to understand the situation as much as possible, otherwise he would be seen by others.

Guo Haoze said with emotion: "Guo Mou's life is worthy of the sky and the earth. The ambition of his life is nothing more than to seek benefits for tens of millions of people in Qiyang, even if there are thousands of difficulties, there is no regret in dying. ”

Tianlan nodded secretly, he could see that what Guo Haoze said was all sincere, it seemed that this civil official was really as he saw and was a loyal minister of a clean official. There are not many such loyal ministers. If there are too many, Qi Yang will be in trouble.

At this time, they had already walked to the small pavilion in the center of the bridge, Xuanyuan Luoyu invited Tianlan and Guo Haoze to sit down, and said, "Tianlan Gongzi, Uncle Guo and I invited you here today, mainly to see your views on this war. ”

Tianlan had already roughly guessed one or two, and said, "The county lord really looks down on it." Tianlan's views on the war cannot affect the direction of the war. ”

Guo Haoze's expression was gloomy, and he said: "What you said is good. But for the sake of the common people in the world, even if Guo can't reverse the overall situation with his meager strength, he must try his best. ”

Xuanyuan Luo Yu said: "Just a few words, Luo Yu has already understood the meaning of Tianlan Gongzi. The son is kind-hearted and strong, and he must be extremely extraordinary to be appreciated by General Tie. ”

"Don't dare to be. "Tianlan now completely understands, that Tie Xing'an is the main battle faction, and this civil official Guo Haoze and the county lord Xuanyuan Luo Yu are anti-war factions. The main war faction won him over, and the anti-war faction naturally came out to say a few words. First, those who have passed Tie Xing'an's test must not have much problem in terms of strength and background, and they can use it with confidence; second, even if they can't win over, they can be regarded as a wide range of heroes. Presumably, Guo Haoze will talk about his ideals when he meets someone who is pleasing to the eye, and he will be upright, so he will have a very high reputation.

Tianlan's guess is good, but it's a bit inappropriate to say that the two of them are anti-war factions. Because the policy of the main battle was set by Emperor Qiyang, it could not be changed. Guo Haoze and Xuanyuan Luoyu just wanted to have fewer casualties and end it quickly under the premise of war, and they did not have such a strong force as anti-war. As for pulling Tianlan to chat, on the one hand, it is because Guo Haoze sees that he is polite and well-read, and he reads poetry and books, so he may be able to agree with his ideals and help a little. On the other hand, the two of them were rejected by Tie Xing'an this time, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts, and they wanted to vent it.

It's not strange to meet people like Guo Haoze, the only thing that makes Tianlan curious is that this famous No. 1 beautiful 'girl' in Qiyang is also involved in the regime. She is a county lord, a daughter of a thousand dollars, what do she want, why do such a thankless thing? Obviously, her father is the generalissimo of this war, but she seems to stand on the opposite side of her father, which is really strange!
