The matter of going to the battlefield together was so decided, and early the next morning, Gu Zhixing went directly into the palace.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the number of people is counted?" In the study, there were only two people, Gu Zhao and Gu Zhixing.

Gu Zhao opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Huang, is this 500,000 army enough?" ”

"Well, that's enough." Gu Zhixing nodded.

Although Xisheng and Beiyuan have always maintained peace on the surface, if they really fight, Beiyuan's strength is not high, and it is not enough to take the lead in sending troops this time.

"Okay, then I will wait in this palace for the triumphant return of the imperial uncle." Gu Zhao smiled, but suddenly remembered something else.

He looked a little hesitant and asked, "Uncle Huang is going to face Beiyuan this time, so ...... Su Mian's side?"

"Ah Mian and this king go together." Knowing what he wanted to ask, Gu Zhixing answered without waiting for him to finish.

Gu Zhao was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Uncle Huang wants her to go to the battlefield together?" ”

"Yes." Gu Zhixing nodded lightly: "Leaving Mian alone here, this king will be worried, so it is better to take care of it with you." ”

The big war was imminent, Gu Zhao's eyes flickered for a moment, although he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything more.

After thinking for a moment, he had to say lightly: "Since Uncle Huang has decided, it is not easy for me to stop it, but there are no eyes on the battlefield, since Uncle Huang has brought people away, but you must be more optimistic, if you are accidentally injured while running around, Uncle Huang will inevitably be distracted again." ”

What he said meant something, but Gu Zhixing acted as if he didn't understand.

"Since this king has brought people with him, he will definitely be optimistic, even if he causes trouble around me, it is better than causing some kind of little mess while I am not there for people to arrest." He replied in a calm tone.

There was a mystery in the words of the two people, Gu Zhao was slightly stunned, a trace of coldness welled up in his eyes, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and sat back on his dragon chair.

"Even so, then I won't delay Uncle Huang's time, go back to the house early to prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Hmm." Gu Zhixing nodded and said, "Let the 500,000 troops gather at the city gate early tomorrow morning, and set off directly after noon." ”

"Uncle Huang...... Can you be sure? After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zhao asked.

He wasn't worried about Gu Zhixing's ability, but he was worried that he would make some inappropriate decisions because of Su Mian.

Gu Zhixing's footsteps paused slightly, and then he whispered, "Naturally." ”

Then he turned and strode out of the study.

……

In the palace, Su Mian looked at the few maids who were packing her luggage, looking a little helpless.

"You don't need to put these skirts in, I'm going to the battlefield, not going out......"

"You don't need to bring so much jewelry, one or two pieces are enough......"

"Forget it, or I'll do it myself, and you all go out......"

Seeing that his originally light bag suddenly became a big package, he couldn't wait to put all the clothes of the year in it, and he also had to attach a bunch of heavy jewelry, Su Mian was completely speechless.

When Gu Zhixing entered the door, he saw the scene of Su Mian's house full of clothes.

"Ah Mian, what are you ......" Gu Zhixing looked at her with a somewhat amused expression.

"Hey...... I said that I would pack my luggage by myself, how can a few of them have the experience of packing clothes for women who are going to go to the battlefield? Su Mian was a little helpless.

She is not right, looking at the woman in the entire Western Holy Kingdom who is shouting to go to the battlefield, I am afraid she is the only one.

Gu Zhixing had obviously just realized this, and waved away all the maidservants, and then he picked up a piece of clothing next to the bed with a normal expression.

"What are you doing?" Su Mian looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Naturally, it's to help you pack your bags." Gu Zhixing's answer was a matter of course.

He was naturally very experienced, so he first picked out a few light clothes, then took the cloak and put it aside, and threw the rest aside.

"Just take these with you, and let the rest go back." He spoke.

didn't expect Gu Zhixing to personally help him pack his luggage, Su Mian's heart was a little complicated, and when he thought of leaving tomorrow, he felt a little bottomless.

Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with her expression, Gu Zhixing asked critically, "What's wrong?" Why did the color suddenly become so ugly? ”

"It's fine." Su Mian shook his head, and said with some worry: "I'm just thinking, if the worst situation has happened in Beiyuan at this time, my father will ...... him."

"Don't think about it that much." Gu Zhixing subconsciously reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, taking it as comfort, and then said: "If the worst really happens, I believe that you will definitely be able to do something for your father, and you will not let Su Rou get away with it." ”

"Of course." Su Mian's eyes flickered for a moment, but his tone was very determined.

Thinking that he was going to leave tomorrow, although he tried to calm himself down, Su Mian didn't even eat two bites of dinner.

The four big words "I, have, heart, and matter" seem to be hanging on her face, which makes people know that she is not in a good state at a glance.

As soon as it was dark, she went straight back to her bedroom to rest.

Lying on the bed, Su Mian couldn't help hypnotizing himself in his heart, hurry up to sleep, hurry up and sleep, you won't think about anything when you fall asleep, and then you can set off as soon as you open your eyes!

But the more this happened, the more sleepy she became.

Gu Zhixing didn't worry about her, and when he saw her going back to the room alone, he kept guarding the door, wanting to wait for her to fall asleep and warm her hands and feet before leaving.

Listening to the sparse sound of turning over in the room, he finally sighed helplessly, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Who?" As soon as Su Mian heard the voice, he sat up directly from the bed.

"It's me." Gu Zhixing responded in a low voice, and quietly flicked a tranquilizing incense into the incense burner burning on the side.

Having guessed that it was him, Su Mian deliberately said, "What are you doing?" I'm leaving tomorrow, so don't disturb my rest. ”

Rest?

It's as if this little girl can sleep if she doesn't come in.

didn't demolish her, Gu Zhixing instead sat down on the edge of her bed, and continued what he said just now: "It's that I can't sleep a little, and I want to come and talk to Ah Mian." ”

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Su Mian asked curiously.

Gu Zhixing originally just said it casually, but when he heard this, he had to reply, "What do you want to hear?" Shall I tell you a story? ”

Gu Zhixing told him a story to coax himself to sleep before, and when he mentioned it at this time, Su Mian immediately felt that the roots of his ears were a little hot.

I'm not a kid again!

I don't have to be told stories to lull me to sleep!

Still, she did not have a lot of sleep at this time.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "There's no need to tell a story, why don't you talk to me...... Border matters. ”

"Border?" Gu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Ah Mian wants to hear this?" ”

"Hmm." Su Mian nodded: "You don't have to tell some stories of bloody killings, I heard that there are people living on the border, since it is not the first time you have led troops to the battle, why don't you tell me some of the customs there......"

Gu Zhixing's eyes flickered for a moment, then he smiled softly, and said softly: "Okay, then you lie down, I'll tell you." ”

Su Mian lay down obediently.

Gu Zhixing tucked the quilt for her, and then said softly: "Although the border is sparsely populated, some places are not too desolate. ”

"There are grasslands, and there are herders living on the grasslands, who sing and dance on festivals, and they don't have a fixed residence, so they don't necessarily meet ...... everywhere they go."

"If so...... Met it? Su Mian asked with some curiosity.

"If they meet, they are also very hospitable, and the army of the Western Saint has always befriended their leader, so they will naturally be very welcome."

Gu Zhixing smiled and continued: "Those herdsmen like to eat cattle and sheep, if we can meet them this time, it will definitely be very suitable for your taste." ”

Su Mian answered in a daze, although she felt a little sleepy, she was still interested.

Why...... I always feel that these pictures that Gu Zhixing said are a little familiar......

"At night, you can sit on the grass and watch the stars, the stars there are much brighter than those in the imperial city......" Gu Zhixing said as he spoke, a slight gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you look at the stars......" Su Mian repeated Gu Zhixing's words in a daze, and at some point his eyelids began to fight, it should be the calming incense in the incense burner that has taken effect.

"Well, if Ah Mian likes it, can I take you to see the stars?" Gu Zhixing asked with a smile.

But the person lying on the bed had already closed his eyes and was breathing.

Gu Zhixing's eyes flickered for a moment, he carefully bent down, and gently landed a light kiss on her forehead, and then as if he was a little dissatisfied, he only struggled for a moment, and then slowly moved down.

He kissed the corner of his lips with a slight curvature.

The reason why he never agreed to take Ah Mian to the border was not just because he was worried that her body would not be able to stand it.

It's the lesson of the last time...... It is enough for him to remember it for a lifetime.

All changes began at that time, her memory, Su Yu and General Lu who died inexplicably, and Lu Zhe, who has been in a slump since then.

If he could, he didn't even want Lu Zhe to go with him when he sent troops this time.

lest he revisit the old place and touch the scene.

In the past five years, no one has had an easy time.

Maybe this time, it's time to put something to a close.

His Ah Mian doesn't seem to have fully recovered his memory, and he hasn't remembered many things, but it doesn't matter, he remembers these things himself, and he knows that she has always liked these.

Whether it's riding a horse on the grassland, or lying on the ground and watching the stars together, I will take her to do it again little by little.

As long as she can be happy.
