Chapter 456: Smoke Rises

Just as they were about to have a seizure, Shen Yan and Jiang Biao got up and knelt on the ground in unison, and said in a sonorous tone towards Gu Mozhi: "We are not some bright and high-spirited people, but after all these years at the border, I have watched my brother die in the hands of the Xiliang people, and I have long held back my anger from the shame and contempt of the Xiliang people, and I can't wait to be ashamed as soon as possible."

I have to meet Lord Gu today, I am convinced, and I will swear to follow Lord Gu to the death in the future, protect the people of Wolong Pass, defend Chang'an, and die after death!"

It seems that Gu Mozhi's simple enthusiasm and kung fu to serve the country are not enough to convince the two, and the two of them have seen too many top bosses who are looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and are corrupt and perverting the law, and they are quite wary of the new boss. Shen Yan's words were just a temptation and test for Gu Mozhi.

The words of the two of them made Gu Mozhi's blood boil, he threw the wine glass in his hand, and stood up: "Without further ado, immediately gather at the training ground, count the troops, I will write down the recital truthfully, hand it over to someone to bring back to Kyoto, and play it to the emperor!"

The three of them immediately got up, went to the training ground, counted the soldiers and horses, wrote down the recital truthfully, and handed it over to the person who came from. It's already the middle of the night.

Hua Qianshu temporarily settled down in the General Military Mansion.

This general soldier's mansion is just an empty shelf, when Hua Qianshu and his party came here, there was not even a maidservant, only a woman who cooked, and everyone called her Wang Ma.

Holding the sword and walking around the general soldier's mansion in disgust, he sighed, and could only resign himself to cleaning the room where Gu Mozhi lived, settling Gu Mozhi to live temporarily, and then going out to buy daily necessities the next day.

Hua Qianshu couldn't help much, firstly, although her injuries had improved, her vitality had not yet recovered, and coupled with her pregnancy, she was extremely tired, and her hands and feet were weak.

The second is that she didn't know what to do, she has always opened her mouth for food, and she is used to reaching out for clothes, at most she can still do her best to wash and wash shabu, and she will only talk on paper about cooking and sewing and mending.

Fortunately, when he left Beijing, he had the foresight to return to the small courtyard and brought enough silver tickets, so he didn't have to worry about being stretched thin for the time being.

As for the source of your own livelihood in the future, you have to stabilize it first and think about it slowly.

When Gu Mo first arrived, he was not familiar with anything, and everything had to be done from scratch, so it was very hard at the beginning, either inspecting the defense of the city wall, or crawling around in the barracks, for several days in a row, wearing stars and moons, and even having little time to talk to Hua Qianshu.

She walked around the town twice by herself, and found that there were very few shops and the people were extremely insecure. Women always cover their faces and heads with a veil of unknown color, and men always have dusty faces as if they had just returned from a journey of 108,000 miles.

It seems that everywhere is a gray style, and the wind and sand seem to be able to cut a hole in the face. Moreover, there is no polished rice here, and the staple food seems to be the kind of sorghum rice nest that is so hard that it pulls the throat.

This is really not a suitable place to set up camp, especially for her who has been pampered since childhood, and it will take a while to adapt to the hard life here.

However, the laid-back and slow-paced style here made her feel at ease. If the Seventh Emperor Uncle really sent people to look for him everywhere, only here, the news is blocked, and it is the Emperor of the Mountain High.

If you come here, you will be safe.

Today, Gu Mozhi rarely returned home early, changed into a heavy armor, sat in the courtyard, spread out a pile of drawings, and frowned and pondered.

When he saw Hua Qianshu coming, he didn't shy away from it and didn't put it away.

"The Wolong Pass defense project is already weak in many places, and Vice General Shen and I plan to re-strengthen it. And digging trenches again and setting up ground listening can also effectively block the iron cavalry of the Xiliang army from attacking under the city wall. ”

Hua Qianshu pursed her lips and smiled: "How can you tell me about these military secrets?"

"You're not an outsider. Gu Mozhi said without thinking: "Moreover, I believe, you are not simple. ”

"Oh?" Hua Qianshu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I just talked nonsense, and you were blinded?"

"Am I not the only one who is blinded?" he raised his head from the drawing and looked at Hua Qianshu: "Whether it is knowledge, courage or resourcefulness, it is by no means an ordinary person. Vice General Shen said that the generals who can have this kind of insight and resourcefulness in Chang'an are by no means ordinary people, not to mention, you are just a family member. ”

"Depending on the power of the family in the rivers and lakes, if you want to investigate my identity, it should not be difficult. Hua Qianshu said lightly: "From the beginning, I didn't deliberately hide anything, I just wanted to make a complete break with the past." ”

Gu Mozhi smiled warmly at her: "Everyone has their own unspeakable secrets, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, let alone let people inquire about it." After all, no matter what your identity is, to my Gu Mozhi, you are just a friend. ”

Hua Qianshu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, because of Gu Mozhi's trust in him. When we meet, I don't know the roots, but I am so honest with myself and have no doubts.

And he and the night release seem to have died on something called "suspicion".

Because of the knot in their previous lives, the two fell in love and killed each other in this life, and never really trusted each other.

Yefang is careful of himself, and he will never tell himself the purpose of his work. From beginning to end, she had been in suspicion and trying to figure out the purpose of everything he meant.

married as husband and wife, love is not doubtful.

The mode of getting along between the two is destined to have today's ending. A *** instantly disintegrates the feelings that have been piled up with great difficulty.

Gu Mozhi's trust in himself is very warm, just like the rising sun in the morning in Wolongguan, which makes people feel full of vitality and infinite hope.

Hua Qianshu sat down opposite him: "I don't have any secrets that can't be seen, if my concealment will make Vice General Shen suspicious, I am willing to consciously move out of this general military mansion and not cause trouble for you." ”

"You are too worried about this, Vice General Shen and Vice General Jiang are full of praise for you, there is absolutely no such meaning. You are a single woman, and you are pregnant with Liujia, where can you go, you can only live in my general military mansion with peace of mind. In a few days, I will find a few maidservants to come into the house to take care of you, and you will be wronged for the time being. ”

Before the laughter fell, Jiang Biao hurriedly ran in from outside the mansion, with a frightened look on his face.

The two glanced at each other and had a bad premonition.

"What happened?"

Jiang Biao finally stabilized his breath and said straight to the point: "I really let Miss Fengxiao guess correctly, the Xiliang people gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses and set up camp less than fifty miles away from Wolong Pass, they really want to have a plot against Chang'an!"
