Chapter Eighty-Three: The Expedition Is Imminent

"It's your blessing to be able to serve the eldest lady, be clever and cautious in the future, if anyone does something stupid that harms the eldest lady, the end will not be up to you, there was no vision to betray the master before, it was one by one who were gouged out and fed dumb medicine and dragged out and lost, remember, you are slaves, the master's heart is as clear as a mirror, what you think in your heart The master knows clearly, don't think about things that shouldn't be considered.

Of course, the eldest lady is her favorite slave, as long as you serve wholeheartedly and serve the lord wholeheartedly, you can live a caring and comfortable life in this courtyard, and when it comes to the day of leaving the house, maybe the eldest lady can still find a good future for you. But do you get it? ”

"Yes, slave maid understands." Everyone said in unison, although the eldest lady never spoke, just sitting there, exuding a natural majesty and courage, which made them nervous, and they could only be cautious.

"Miss, slave maid autumn words......"

"Miss, slave and maid Mama Qin......"

"Miss, slave and maid winter ......"

"Miss, slave green branch......"

After glancing at a few people lightly, she ordered, "Qiu Ci and Mama Qin stay in the inner room, and the rest of the people stay outside." ”

"Yes." Let all of them stand up, and every man shall return to you.

After everyone left, she got up and walked to the window to look at the begonia under the windowsill, although the autumn equinox is approaching, but this pot of begonias is still flourishing, she was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she had not seen Gu Qingzhao for several days, so she asked:

"The second young master has been here in the past two days."

Zilan stepped forward and said, "Since that day Miss was drunk, the Second Young Master hasn't been here since he went out here. ”

"Oh?" Gu Qingzhao has always been clingy to her, and it is really rare for her to disappear suddenly like this.

"The slave maid heard that the Hou Ye invited a master to teach the young master martial arts, and the second young master wants to study and practice martial arts, so he may be very busy." Ziyu added on the side.

In addition to studying hard, Gu Qingzhao is also very talented in martial arts, he takes Gu Tianyuan as an example, and also wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future like his father and defend his family and country.

Gu Qingwan looked up at the sky, at this time, the sky was cloudless, the sky was clear, she suddenly became interested, and said, "I'll go see him." ”

All the way to Gu Qingzhao's Luofeng Garden, before he entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of sword practice coming from inside-

"Go down first."

Gu Qingwan dismissed the people around her, stood at the door alone, looking at the white-clothed young man who was practicing swords, his eyes were like torches, resolute and cold, holding a sword, swordsmanship was proficient, and his tricks were varied, although there were shortcomings, it was already very good, and his appearance when he practiced martial arts was not much the same as usual.

It turned out that he had practiced martial arts so hard, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

She had been standing there, quietly watching him practice his sword, and watched him practice until he was sweating profusely and his brocade robe was soaking wet before stopping.

Gu Qingzhao withdrew his sword, and when he turned around and saw Gu Qingwan, his eyes flickered slightly-

"Sister......

Gu Qingwan stepped forward with a smile on her face, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, looked at him seriously, and raised her hand to gently wipe the sweat from his sideburns.

The two of them stood under the banyan tree, and the silhouettes of those sunshine fell on them, and there was a kind of purity and beauty that remained in the depths of the years-

Gu Qingzhao looked at Gu Qingwan, the wind blew, the long hair brushed his eyes, his eyes were clear and clean, and he looked like a simple-minded child.

Gu Qingwan looked at his eyes, and her hand stopped slightly. She suddenly remembered herself a long time ago, the simple-minded Gu Qingwan with clear eyes.

The years have smoothed her edges and corners, she is no longer as simple and kind as before, and now she is sleek and scheming. So she really wants to protect Gu Qingzhao's purity and kindness, she just does all the dirty things, he just needs to maintain this sincerity and straightforwardness, so that every time she sees him, she can think of her former self, so that this is a nostalgia.

Gu Qingzhao suddenly held her hand, made her stop wiping her sweat, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Qingwan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Sister is fine, I just remembered some things so I got distracted." This is the first time I've seen you practice martial arts, but I didn't expect Zhao'er to be so powerful. ”

"Sister, I have to work hard to become stronger, only then can I protect my sister and mother." Gu Qingzhao said firmly.

"Mmmm, Zhao'er will definitely become stronger after working so hard." Gu Qingwan encouraged.

Gu Qingzhao gestured twice with the sword in his hand and said, "Master said that my swordsmanship is improving quickly, sister, can I teach you?" ”

"Zhao'er taught me? Of course. Gu Qingwan happily agreed, only when she was with Gu Qingzhao, she would have no heart and release her childlike innocence.

"I have a lot of weapons, I'll take you to pick them out." Gu Qingzhao led Gu Qingwan and happily entered his weapons room, which was furnished with many high-grade weapons-

Gu Qingwan knew that Gu Qingzhao was now Gu Tianyuan's only son, and he had spared no effort in cultivating Gu Qingzhao without any reservations-

Because of this, the second room will regard Gu Qingzhao as a thorn in the side and get rid of him in such a cruel way.

After looking around the weapons room for a week, Gu Qingwan shook her head and said regretfully, "These weapons are too cumbersome for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to mention them." ”

Gu Qingzhao pondered for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, took off a dagger from his waist, handed it to Gu Qingwan with both hands, and said:

"This is the treasure I carry with me, and now I give it to you, it is light, but it is extremely sharp, and it is as sharp as clay."

I saw that this dagger was small and delicate, and the handle of the knife was inlaid with a huge ruby, which radiated luster in the sun, and it was very beautiful.

Gu Qingwan stretched out her hand to take it and looked at it carefully, "I like this so much." ”

"I also gave this dagger a name, called Qing Huan." Gu Qingzhao introduced.

"Qinghuan? What a beautiful name, worthy of this sword. Gu Qingwan stroked the dagger, and felt more and more in love.

"Let's go, I'll teach you."

The two came outside, Gu Qingzhao stood in front of Gu Qingwan, and began to teach her one move at a time, teaching while saying-

"The most important thing about this short weapon is that you have to learn how to give the opponent a fatal blow in the shortest time and as quickly as possible."

Gu Qingwan has a very high level of understanding, and she quickly mastered the several postures she taught.

Gu Qingzhao stood aside, watching her practice one move at a time, the wind blew, and the small white pear blossoms slowly fell, she seemed to be in a moving pear blossom snow, those small white flowers fell on her hair, on her clothes, between her eyebrows and eyes, which was picturesque.

He really wanted to grow up quickly, so that he would have enough power to protect her.

"Zhao'er, look, is this right?" That joyful voice brought his thoughts back, and he looked up and saw Gu Qingwan looking at her, with a smile in her eyes.

Such a bright sister is really rare.

"Very good, you're better than me." Gu Qingzhao put his mind down, walked over, and said.

"Zhao'er ......" At this time, Gu Tianyuan walked into Luofeng Garden, Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingzhao saw it, they both turned around and said respectfully-

"Father, you're in the court."

"Hmm." Gu Tianyuan nodded in response, but his eyebrows were constricted.

Gu Qingwan nodded to Gu Qingzhao, Gu Qingzhao understood, stepped forward and asked, "I don't know why my father is sad, Zhao'er was worried about my father." ”

Gu Tianyuan sighed and said, "Zhao'er, you are still young, you can't help much, you just need to study martial arts seriously, don't worry about your father." ”

"Father is worried about the court?" Now the situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and the Holy Lord has always been jealous of Gu Tianyuan, and he knows it best.

Gu Tianyuan didn't expect his simple and kind daughter to see through his mind at once, he sighed and said, "Although my father is a prince and a prince, he is also a companion like a tiger. When I came back this time, I wanted to hand over the military power to the saint and return to Shengjing to be my own idle marquis, but I didn't expect that the Turkic prince Helian Jin, who was captured last time, fled back to the Turks and then Chen soldiers on the border, and the border situation was not optimistic. ”

Gu Qingwan said, "Didn't you say that General Lu won the battle this time?" Why is the situation at the border bad again? ”

"Lu Jie's victory was just Helian Jin's deliberate loss, just to let our soldiers relax their vigilance, and he fought back, Lu Jie was tricked, and now our army is retreating, and the Turks have occupied several cities on our border, wantonly slaughtered, and our losses are serious. Now all the ministers of the court have written to me to lead the troops to quell the chaos. I have already sent Ah Yuan to take the tiger talisman to Huizhou first, and tomorrow it is time for my father to leave for Huizhou. ”

Gu Qingwan's heart trembled, what should have come is really coming. In his previous life, Gu Tianyuan led his troops to win the battle, and in just three years, the Turks were defeated and retreated, and the losses were serious, so they sued for peace with the Great Zhou.

Gu Tianyuan returned to the dynasty victoriously, was loved by the army and the people, aroused the suspicion of the saints, held grudges against the Turks, and was finally framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

I didn't expect the war that decided my father's life and death to come so soon.

"Father, in two months it will be my daughter's gift, can you come back then?" Gu Qingwan looked up at Gu Tianyuan, with a bit of expectation in her eyes.

Gu Tianyuan choked in his heart, and said guiltily: "Wan'er, this time my father doesn't know when he will be able to come back......"

"I know, my father is a big hero who defends the country, and he should focus on the overall situation, and his daughter knows the severity."

"I have wronged you Wan'er, when you have a gift, my father will definitely give you a big deal."

"Thank you, Daddy." Gu Qingwan was happy on the surface, but she was a little lost in her heart.

In her previous life, her father was far away at the border, and now it is the same.

On the way out of Luofeng Garden, Gu Qingwan had been thinking about what had happened in her previous life. With Chen Yuan at the border, she has nothing to worry about. Now that there is only one inner house, she has to deal with it with all her strengths, how can she help her father get through the difficulties in the court?

She had to settle the affairs of the inner house as soon as possible so that she could free up her hands to plan for other things.
