"When I went back to my room, I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to see what you were doing in front of your window, but who would have thought that your room was pitch black, and there was not even a light." Gu Yuancheng recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart again, he suppressed the emotions in his heart a little, and tried his best to look flat.

"It's already a miracle that you didn't stay up all night, and I didn't even arrive last night, even if I don't have to think about it, I know that you will definitely not be in the room." Speaking of this, Gu Yuancheng suddenly laughed in a low voice for some reason, full of self-deprecation, "In the entire Posa Village, your purpose has never been to go to the Posa Temple, the former 'classmate'?" So I'm coming to you. ”

He didn't think about it much, he didn't hesitate a little, he had no head or brain, he just rushed to the temple to find her, now thinking about it, he actually felt afraid, not afraid of what kind of situation he would fall into, he was afraid that the girl in his heart would be separated from him like this, and it was rare to see in this world.

"I ......," I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak.

It's not so much guilt as I don't know what to do.

Fake smile and fake crying, pretending to be crazy and stupid, I will, and I am very proficient, but the so-called true feelings, I can only look at others, when suddenly one day, there is such a person, he gently plucked, touched my heartstrings, how should I show this feeling?

No one taught me, and I never wanted to learn this.

Perhaps, I should ask...... Mother.

"Ji Gui ran away, have you figured out how to deal with him?" Gu Yuancheng frowned when he saw me in distress, his heart softened, and he didn't want to worry about last night's events anymore, although last night's events made him very angry.

I blinked and paused.

"The people of the Buda country have been entrenched here for many years, and they have colluded with the blood alliance, and the mountain is so big, there must be many secret passages for them to escape, and we can't catch him."

"So?" Gu Yuancheng looked at me, "You can't let him go, right?" ”

I raised my eyebrows and said with a smile, "Next, it's your turn to show your strengths, the prime minister of Qi State, I am a small person, and I can't do big things, so I won't participate in the rights and wrongs between you." ”

"Listen to you, do you have something else to do?" Gu Yuancheng looked at me, as if what I was going to do was something that made me very happy, and this "pleasure" made him feel dazzling inexplicably.

I didn't nod or shake my head, just smiled and glanced at him.

With a sigh in his heart, Gu Yuancheng's eyes changed slightly.

"Don't worry, after the New Year, I will come to see your results." I said to him, "By the way, I will bring you some New Year gifts." ”

"New Year's gift?" Gu Yuancheng read these words a little unfamiliarly.

"Winter has arrived, and early spring is coming." I looked at him amusedly.

"Then I should ...... too" Gu Yuancheng wanted to blurt out something, but suddenly stopped, he peeked at me twice, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

"What did you say?" I frowned and asked him, "Be louder, I can't hear clearly, how did you squirm?" ”

Gu Yuancheng's face darkened, and he flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave, but when he thought that I was still injured, he endured this breath again.

"Shen Qingzhi, it's better for you to keep your mouth shut, otherwise don't blame me for going back on your word, let all the soldiers of your Qin Kingdom know about the marriage contract between you and me." Gu Yuancheng threatened me viciously.

When I heard him say this, I wasn't afraid, but considering Gu Yuancheng's virtue of 'practicing what I say', I was a little stunned, so I could only say softly, "Gu Yuancheng, a manly man, be open-minded, you have to be like me, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly!" By the way, how do I remember that you seem to have a period of 'golden and jade relationship'? ”

"Don't you have that too?" Gu Yuancheng snorted, "Everyone is each other." ”

"I'm different." I shook my head and went down the mountain road.

Gu Yuancheng looked at me behind me, muttered something in his mouth, walked two steps quickly and came to help me, "You have an injury, can't you slow down?" ”

"It's just a small injury." I don't care.

Gu Yuancheng pursed his lips, his eyes flickering slightly.

He didn't say anything more, I didn't have anything to say, and the two of us just went down without a stubble, and this time because we knew the way, we didn't stay on the mountain for too long before we got out of the mountain.

The village was a mess at the moment, and it was almost impossible to see its original peace and tranquility, and among the dead leaves that fluttered away, only the wisp of green smoke on the grave was still winding and rising, swaying, as if to go to that truly peaceful place.

"Don't pass it here." I turned sideways to say goodbye to Gu Yuancheng.

Gu Yuancheng looked at the soldiers of the Qin Kingdom who were in the distance, and he swallowed the words that he wanted to open his mouth to tell him to care.

"Farewell." He threw his fist at me, then turned and left, not stopping a single step.

I looked at his departing back, and for some reason I felt an urge to catch up.

"Your Excellency." A low call pulled my mind back, and I looked up at the general who had strode in front of me.

"The last general has seen the prime minister." He knelt down on one knee and saluted me with his fists folded.

"Deputy Zhao Wei?" I looked in amazement at the generals who saluted me.

"Yes, it's the last general." Zhao Hu's face showed a look of surprise: "I didn't expect the adults to remember me." "Fate

I smiled and helped him up, "In the first battle of Tuzhou, the deputy guard made remarkable achievements, how could the prime minister not remember you?" If it weren't for the help of you and Deputy Guard, I'm afraid that the prime minister wouldn't have been able to settle the rebels so quickly. ”

"How dare the last general be an adult with the word 'thanks'? If it weren't for the foresight of the adults, the useless life and death, and the fact that we took the lead, we would not have been able to take down the rebels with so few casualties. ”

Zhao Hu never dared to take the credit on himself, not to mention how many people saw the whole process of that battle, just say that he himself, since that battle, he has great respect for this prime minister, although she is not very old, but she can do things decisively and competently, and when she kills the enemy, there is no trace of the sour and hesitant smell of the literati.

The most important thing is that she cares about the lives of her brothers, unlike some generals who are greedy for merit and indifferent, who only value their own merits and do not care about the lives or deaths of their brothers.

"You are ashamed to say this." I smiled and said, "How did you get here from Tuzhou?" Is Vice Wei Li here with you? ”

Zhao Hu shook his head, "After the first battle of Tuzhou, the last general and Li Wei were transferred out of Tuzhou because of their military exploits, and the last general was transferred to the capital, and Li Wei was transferred to Qizhou, so only the last general is here today." ”

Qizhou?

I paused for a moment, then nodded approvingly, "I see." ”

"The Liu family has been cleaned up, please go and rest for a while." Zhao Hu lowered his head and took a step back sideways.

I nodded my head and walked in the direction of Liu's house.

When I crossed the arched bridge in front of Liu's house, I couldn't help but sigh that time was rushing and the world was changing, but it was just a cloud of smoke, so I slowly sat on the top of the middle hall.

"Stand down, Deputy Guard Zhao, you stay." I waved at the large group of squires who walked in behind me.

The attendants did not dare to disobey the order and retreated one after another.

"Your Excellency." Zhao Hu bowed his head.

"What did you do with what Wu Zhong asked Wu Zhong to explain to you?" I asked him.

"It's all arranged." Zhao Hu replied, "The people of Posa Village have arranged for people to be escorted to the neighboring Yanzhou Prison, and people have also been sent to guard various intersections around Posa Mountain, and it is impossible for any weapons and horses to be transported out of it." ”

"Did you suffer any casualties when you fought the enemy?"

Zhao Hu shook his head, "Those people seem to be here to fight us under a pretense, and they didn't use much force at all." ”

"They all fled?"

“...... Be. Zhao Hu leaned down in shame and knelt down, "It's the last general who is not doing well and has betrayed the trust of adults." ”

I waved his hand and asked him to stand up and speak.

"You should not be from the country when you meet these people, they are all old assassins, and it is understandable that you will let them escape if you don't notice them for a while, you don't need to blame yourself." I comforted him.

"But......" Zhao Hu wanted to speak and stopped.

"It's okay, just run away, and you'll have to fall into the legal net in the future." I waved my hand lightly, not paying attention.

"Yes." Zhao Hu responded.

"As soon as today passes, tomorrow you will withdraw your troops and set off to support General Yang Jie in Northern Xinjiang." I said.

Zhao Hu was surprised for a moment and asked me, "What about you, my lord?" Aren't you with us? The order that the general will receive is to be ......"

I raised my hand to stop him from continuing the words, "Benxiang will go to the emperor overnight, you can rest assured of this, as for the whereabouts of Benxiang...... Let's just say that the prime minister is going to the border to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhao Hu glanced at me suspiciously, lowered his head and responded, "Yes." ”

"Okay, it's okay, you go and straighten out the army first." I looked at him and smiled lightly.

"Yes." Zhao Hu led the order to retreat.

Seeing that Zhao Hu had left, I immediately stood up, first pressed a letter that I had already written under the tea cup on the low table, and then I climbed through the window and quietly walked out of Liu's house.

"Go to Qizhou." All the way out of Posa Mountain, I climbed into an inconspicuous carriage beside the official road and gave instructions to the groom who had been waiting for a long time.

The carriage sped up, and the dust fluttered down from the sky, obscuring the view of the sky in the blink of an eye.

"It's going to snow, right?" I sighed and looked at the depressed and withered grass and trees outside the car window, and my heart was a little melancholy, a little sad, and finally turned into a trace of winter cold.

It's cold.

I shrank back, my right shoulder tingling in the bumpy carriage.

"Your Excellency, stop." As the carriage was walking, a familiar female voice suddenly came from ahead, and I quickly asked the coachman to stop the carriage.
