Xu Maolin smiled and said, "General, the border is not very peaceful now, the Turks are ready to move, and the Holy Lord needs Gu Houye to go to the town, and there should be no excessive actions for a while." ”

Chen Yuan was silent, and suddenly said: "Companion Jun is like a companion tiger, the mind of the saint is not so easy to guess, everyone thinks that the saint still has a place where Gu Houye can be used, and he will not be moved for a while, even Gu Houye thinks so, but the final outcome is unexpected." ”

Saying that, his gaze turned to Gu Qingwan, and the two collided, and Gu Qingwan was swept into his eyes with deep meaning, which had a penetrating power that could perceive everything.

Did he know something? Gu Qingwan always had a hunch that Chen Yuan had a calmness and wisdom that did not match his age, in addition to the long-standing slaughter, there were also people who had been in high positions for a long time and had the majesty and courage, the more she got along with him, the more Gu Qingwan felt that he was more like Chen Yuan in middle age.

Gu Qingwan's heart suddenly had a thought, maybe Chen Yuan, who was sitting next to her, was also reborn like her.

"The general is right, it's hard to guess what the saint thinks, so we still can't be careless." Xu Maolin's expression became serious, as if he was thinking about Chen Yuan's words again.

Gu Qingwan continued to eat while observing Chen Yuan's expression. There was almost no expression on Chen Yuan's face, and Gu Qingwan didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time. It seems that he can only be tempted another day.

Perhaps her gaze was too straightforward, Chen Yuan turned his head to look at her, and then began to pick up vegetables in her bowl, all of which she loved to eat.

"It's too much for me to eat." Gu Qingwan looked at the mountains of vegetables piled up in the bowl, and quickly stopped Chen Yuan from continuing to put vegetables in her bowl.

Hearing her words, Chen Yuan smiled, his smile was warm and doting, "I'm too thin, I should eat more when I'm growing my body." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded, feeling that what Chen Yuan said was very reasonable, so she continued to bury her head in eating.

Xu Maolin always felt a little weird when he watched the loving interaction between the two. He always felt that the general's eyes on this little brother were not looking at the brother, but like looking at the woman he loved.

For the next period of time, Xu Maolin stopped talking, Chen Yuan still looked out the window with a vigilant look, I don't know if it was an illusion, Gu Qingwan felt that the soldiers outside the window began to increase.

Gu Qingwan faintly felt a hint of nervousness and an inappropriate atmosphere, just when her stomach was full, it was better to leave early, and looked at the other two people at the table, they were still sitting, and they didn't want to leave yet.

Stretched out his hand to call Xiao Er to settle the bill, and when he saw Xiao Er's stammering and courteous face, reward him with some more rewards, Gu Qingwan, who was still thinking so at the time, changed her face when she reached into her waist bag.

Before going out, he obviously carried a money bag, why is it missing now, is it because the group of children just rushed over, accidentally knocked it off, or was it accidentally stolen? The reason is not very important, and I don't care much if I don't have this money, but ......

But now I can't pay the money, it's really embarrassing and embarrassing.

Xiao Er has changed from a smiling face just now to an expressionless one. To tell the truth, if he usually encountered this kind of guest who couldn't pay, he would have scolded him a long time ago, but for this young man who was a little too beautiful, he couldn't scold this heavy words, not to mention being a little second for so many years, looking at people has already seen that he is fine, this young man is clearly from a rich and noble family, maybe something really went wrong, so he couldn't pay.

Gu Qingwan confirmed that she really didn't have a penny on her, and she pulled Chen Yuan's sleeve.

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at her expression, and then looked at Xiao Er, who was waiting to settle the bill, and suddenly understood. He took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and Xiao Er smiled and took the meal money and the reward money and left.

Gu Qingwan smiled at him with gratitude and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Chen Yuan shook his head, "There is no need to be polite between you and me, you don't need to say thank you to me in the future." ”

Gu Qingwan's eyes suddenly moistened, and her heart was already in chaos.

It's him, it's her A-Yuan, I still remember the wedding night, her feet were numb and almost fell, it was he who caught her in time, she thanked him, he said: "In the future, you will be my only wife Chen Yuan, there is no need to be polite between you and me, you don't have to say thank you to me in the future." ”

Gu Qingwan held back her tears, stood up, and owed to Chen Yuan and Xu Maolin, "Then I'll leave first." ”

"Well, let Chen Mu send you back."

"No need, my house is very close to here, don't bother."

"Be careful on the road." Seeing that she refused, Chen Yuan didn't force it, after all, the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion was only one street away from here, and there were a lot of people at night, and there was no need to think about it.

Turned around and left, walking out of the restaurant, it was already time to turn on the lights, a gust of cold wind was blowing in her face, Gu Qingwan looked at the people on the street There were really fewer people than when she entered the restaurant. However, there were a lot more officers and soldiers, in groups of three or two, and they didn't know what they were searching.

Maybe something really happened, thinking like this, I don't even have the interest to go shopping, let alone being penniless.

When I looked up, it was almost dark, so let's go home. If they go back too late, Ziyu and the others will be worried.

Turned around, decided to go from the path, and then go home through the back door, if let the subordinates see their men's clothes, it will damage her reputation as the eldest lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, although the reputation is so hypocritical that it is boring, but it has to be maintained at all times, it is really contradictory and helpless.

Sighing, Gu Qingwan walked to the end of Baihua Street and turned into a quiet alley.

The main reason for the cleanliness and quiet of the alley was that the other end of the alley led to the back doors of several high-ranking officials in the capital, including the mansion of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so it was very safe even at night.

Safety, this is for the general situation, and of course there will be exceptions.

And Gu Qingwan seems to have encountered an exception. When she walked into the alley, she hadn't walked a few steps, when she suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in front of her, and she thought she was dazzled, and the next moment, a dagger was already across her neck.

A hard-voiced voice whispered in her ear, "Don't look back, move forward slowly." ”

Obediently walked forward, did not resist, walked a short distance, and could no longer hear any noise, before the stiff voice behind him ordered: "Stop." Gu Qingwan obediently stopped.

But there was no movement behind her, Gu Qingwan was a little flustered at this moment, this suffocating dullness made her a little overwhelmed. I felt that the person behind him was breathing a little chaotic, sometimes thin and sometimes thick.

Is he hurt? This thought quickly flashed through Gu Qingwan's mind, and after thinking about it, the other party has martial arts, even if he is a little injured, it is impossible for him to win by force.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, the knife left her neck a little, and the person behind her suddenly spoke again: "Take off your clothes." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingwan had a headache, originally something outside her body, if he was robbed, she would be able to deal with it, but now in the face of such an unbelievable request, she could not agree to it.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, from the weakness of his qi evidently in his speech, Gu Qingwan could be sure that he was injured, maybe not lightly. What's more, his stiff tone made her suspicious, and she suddenly turned around before the knife left her neck.
