Chapter 20 Keeping a low profile

Therefore, between him and Gu Jinghuai, it will always be the court and the battlefield, and there will be no other topics.

"Follow your grandfather's teachings."

Gu Jinghuai nodded and said, "I heard that you also brought a woman back, where is the girl?" ”

Gu Jinghuai said bluntly: "I brought it back from the Shogunate." ”

The old man nodded: "You have never been close to women, it's good to have a woman by your side, just don't be too ostentatious, you can bring it over when you have time, if you are really afraid that I will scare people, don't see it." ”

The purpose of the old man is to fight bravely on the battlefield, and after returning to the dynasty, he will keep a low profile and make a big move.

Gu Jinghuai understood this point of the old man, so he never refuted it.

"It's already past noon, you can rest and prepare for entering the palace."

The housekeeper heard that Gu Jinghuai would come back early, so he cleaned up the room very early, and now there was only Shen Qiqi alone in that room.

Gu Jinghuai's room was the one he lived in when he was sixteen years old, the house was simple, and there was no particularly ornate decoration, and outside the window was a lush bamboo forest, which was still tenacious in late autumn.

The books he had read before were still in the bookshelf in the room, and Shen Qiqi took out a military book and looked at it, the small characters on it were densely packed.

Shen Qiqi picked up one of the steps and looked at it carefully, and found that Gu Jinghuai had also written black annotations next to those small characters.

Although the handwriting is immature, it is vigorous and powerful.

"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no future troubles."

Seventeen's heart suddenly seemed to stop beating, and in that moment, it seemed to stop suddenly.

Chop the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles.

Gu Jinghuai was already so vicious at a young age.

So what is she, is it the aftermath left by Gu Jinghuai.

"Seventeen, what are you doing?" Gu Jinghuai's voice sounded in Shen Seventeen's ears, and Shen Seventeen was caught off guard, and the book in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Jinghuai strode to Shen Qiqi's side, a huge shadow enveloped her, and her momentum carried a sense of oppression, Shen Qiqi barely stabilized his mind, and his face showed that kind of dementia.

She generously placed the book in front of Gu Jinghuai, pointed to the picture on it and said, "Bow and arrow." ”

In the upper right corner of the book, the shape of a bow and arrow is outlined in ink.

The bow and arrow Gu Jinghuai knew, and he drew it when he was young, but he didn't expect it to be discovered by Shen Seventeen.

Gu Jinghuai, who was not smiling, chuckled, he lowered his head towards Shen Seventeen and asked, "Seventeen, do you know words?" Seventeen looked at the inky words and shook his head.

Gu Jinghuai laughed dumbly, it turned out that seventeen only recognized the pictures, but they didn't know what those words meant.

''Also, the Shen family won't bother to let this fool learn to read and learn characters.

"It's okay if you don't know, I'll teach you."

He put his arm around Shen Qiqi's waist and pushed her to the front of the chair, holding her shoulders and letting her sit down.

"I'll teach you to write your name."

He grinded it with his own hands, picked up the wolf hair that was placed on the side of the book, dipped it in ink, and wrote a neat Shen character on a piece of rice paper.

"Seventeen, you see, it's your last name."

Seventeen stretched out his head to look at it, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Gu Jinghuai picked up the pen again, and rewrote Shen Seventeen's name on the rice paper.

"Seventeen, that's your name."

Seventeen's name is simple, and it is only a few strokes on paper.

Gu Jinghuai asked her to write it herself.

Shen Qiqi was clumsy and couldn't write well, and finally wrote a ghost drawing.

Gu Jinghuai showed great patience, grabbed Shen Qiqi's hand, and led her to write one stroke at a time.

Seventeen still seems to have some talent, and it didn't take long for Seventeen to write a little bit of it.

"Yes, very well written!" Gu Jinghuai was very satisfied with his teaching results.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to write again."

He took a new piece of rice paper and slowly wrote his name on it.

"Gu Jinghuai!" "This is my name, you can write it."

Maybe these words are too difficult, so Seventeen doesn't have any shape at all.

It's completely ghost-drawn.

Gu Jinghuai saw her embarrassment, took her hand and put the wolf aside.

"If you really can't write, forget it, take a break, I'll take you to dinner later."

Shen Qiqi often breathed a sigh of relief and put down the wolf.

She raised her head and smiled at Gu Jinghuai: "Okay!" "The people in the palace are sinister, and Gu Jinghuai naturally won't take Seventeen over.

He left Shen XVII in the general's mansion, let a maid take care of him, and took Wang Lichuan and Fu Jingyi to the palace.

The General's Mansion is located in the middle of nowhere, and it takes a little time to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

Gu Jinghuai took off his military uniform, changed into a gorgeous uniform, and sat neatly in the carriage prepared by the General's Mansion.

At this time, he took off his armor, the killing intent on his body was restrained, he was well-dressed, he was already thin, and now he has added a bit of elegant handsomeness, not like a demon who kills people and does not pay for his life, a bit like a handsome son.

The two lieutenants followed him one on the left and one on the right, all of them burly and tall, as if they were escorting the son's brother on a trip.

Entering the palace gate, the ground paved with fine white jade shines with a warm light, there seems to be a curling mist shrouded in the unreal palace in the distance, the phoenix on the eaves carved from sandalwood spreads its wings, the floating windows carved from green tiles and the jade wall panels, a huge square at the end of a straight road slowly sinks with the jade steps, and a straight pillar on the huge altar in the center is carved with lifelike dragon patterns, which is far away from the phoenix on the palace.

The celebration banquet is set up in the Changhua Palace, the huge dragon stone pillar stands majestically, the glazed tiles reflect the bright brilliance, and the extraordinary gorgeousness is compelling.

The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, and the princes and ministers in the banquet sat in a regular manner, with a sense of restraint in the harmonious atmosphere.

At this time, the singing and dancing had already begun, and when he saw Gu Jinghuai's arrival, he suddenly stopped.

Several dancing girls retreated in unison, and the sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly.

Gu Jinghuai should have been seated early, but on the way, he met a woman asking for help and missed the hour.

Gu Jinghuai held himself without merit, but he also faintly felt that something was wrong, because it seemed that he was too blind to anyone.

As soon as he entered the hall, the eyes of countless people fell on him, as if he didn't take the emperor in his eyes.

Gu Jinghuai stepped forward and took the lead in asking the emperor for guilt.

"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor is nearly forty years old, his body is slightly bloated, his eyes are blurred, I heard that he has been drunk in the harem recently, and he seems to have some intention of ruling the government, after killing a few outspoken courtiers.

No one dared to say anything more.

The eunuch beside him took the wine glass in his hand, the emperor glanced at Gu Jinghuai slightly, and said with a smile: "Gu Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, please hurry up." ”

Gu Jinghuai refused to get up: "Weichen met a woman on the road to express his feelings, delayed the time to enter the palace, and disturbed His Majesty's singing and dancing, I am really ashamed." ”

"Gu Aiqing's words are serious, how can I be angry with you for this trivial matter, now is a celebration banquet prepared for Aiqing, congratulations to Aiqing for her invincibility, I have won several cities for my Chu country, I will give you a cup first."

The Emperor raised his glass high at him.

Gu Jinghuai got up, took the wine handed over by the eunuch, and touched the cup with the emperor from afar.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and take a seat," Gu Jinghuai raised the wine glass again, and the eunuch immediately filled it for him: "Gu Mou is late and delays everyone's Yaxing, so I punish myself with three glasses, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"General Gu is serious, we respect you."

Several ministers got up and toasted to Gu Jinghuai one after another: "Congratulations to the general, the battlefield is invincible, and he is actually the first warrior of my Chu country." ”

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen you for many years, Gu Jinghuai is still such a talent."

The bloody wind and rain in the officialdom never want the battlefield to be clear and clear, and often the most is the undercurrent surging in the dark.

Singing, dancing, drinking, and flattery are intertwined, making people drunk and drunk.

Gu Jinghuai picked up a glass of wine and drank it all again, a pair of wolf eyes were black and white, as if he was watching a fire, devouring everything.
