Gu Xingzhi looked at the young man in front of him and sighed silently.

Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager.

Unexpectedly, he hid here, but he was still blocked by this young man.

"General Gu!" Zhou Zechen saluted expressionlessly.

"Zhou family boy, you still found it. Gu Xingzhi waved his hand, "Just sit down." The conditions in the mountains are limited, and everyone is used to it, and there are no more rules than in the capital. ”

"Thank you, General. Zhou Zechen learned from the other party's appearance and sat on the big stone on the side casually.

"General, I'm here to ...... this time."

As soon as Zhou Zechen spoke, Gu Xingzhi waved his hand to interrupt him.

"You don't have to say it, I know it all. Gu Xingzhi sighed.

If he didn't know, why would he be embarrassed to hide from this kid everywhere?

The emperor wanted to expand the gains in the north, and was bent on sending elites from several other border armies to the north, and the academy had always disapproved of the imperial court taking the initiative to wage war against other countries. So, both sides set their eyes on themselves.

But he ......

Gu Xingzhi's expression became a little solemn.

"Boy from the Zhou family," he looked up at the indifferent young man on the side and asked, "Do you know where the differences between the academy and the emperor are?"

Zhou Zechen was slightly stunned.

He didn't understand, as the first person in the imperial military, why would Gu Xingzhi ask himself this question?

"I think it's probably because the two sides have different views on certain things. Zhou Zechen thought for a moment and said after consideration, "Your Majesty hopes to dominate the world and make the four seas submit to the iron cavalry of the empire, while the academy hopes that the world can be peaceful and everyone will be well." ”

"Okay, everyone is fine!" Gu Xingzhi laughed out loud when he heard this.

In Zhou Zechen's opinion, there seemed to be a touch of sarcasm in the general's laughter.

After a few breaths, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Boy of the Zhou family, don't forget, I am also a student from Qingyi Academy. Gu Xingzhi said, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, "The small courtyard on the mountain behind the academy, I also secretly went in. That painting still hangs in that small courtyard, right?"

Zhou Zechen nodded expressionlessly.

Yes, the writing is still there.

That was the Mobao that Zhang Huang left in the academy at the beginning, no one dared to move, so naturally he was still there!

That's also a heart-wrenching picture!

In fact, what makes people feel thrilled is not how well the writing is, but the content of the word.

"The monarch is light on the people!" Gu Xingzhi remembered his youth, and slowly spit out a few big words on the scroll!

The monarch is light on the people, which is so thrilling and rebellious in the eyes of the world, however, because this character was left by Zhang Huang back then, no one dared to question this character.

It's just that, after all, this is a society where imperial power is supreme, how can it really be that the monarch is light on the people?

At that time, Empress Zhang Huang was still in the world, and everyone was afraid of her great strength and did not dare to say much, but now that Empress Zhang Huang has been missing for many years, the Son of Heaven in the imperial city has already bred unimaginable ambitions.

This is so ridiculous in that imperial city, in front of the Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair!

However, this idea, which seems a little ridiculous and ridiculous in the eyes of the world, has been deeply engraved into the hearts of some people along with Zhang Huanghou. For example, Dean Chen, for example, a lot of people in the college.

Because of this, the differences between the emperor and the academy on certain matters became bigger and bigger, and the longer Zhang Huang disappeared, the more irreconcilable such differences became.

After all, there is no one in this world who can be so powerful that the whole world surrenders and fears!

Is the monarch more important than the people? or is the imperial power supreme?

Some truths in this world have become different after Zhang Huang appeared.

Gu Xingzhi still hasn't figured out those truths.

All he knew was that he was a military man. If you are a soldier, you should fight on the battlefield to protect your family and defend the country!

Therefore, over the years, he has been leading his troops to garrison the lofty mountains and mountains on the line of Xingyu Pass, nailing those rogues of the South China Sea to the South China Sea, nailing them to the mountains and mountains of Xingyu Pass, preventing thieves from stepping into the border line of the empire.

As for the dispute between the emperor and the academy, he is powerless and does not want to get involved!

But now...... When the world-famous war broke out, he was still powerless to get involved.

Zhou Zechen's intention, he knows very well. ---- Academy hopes that he can help to delay the emperor's order and postpone the war in the northern frontier, but the question is, although he is the first person in the military, how long can he delay?

A month, or two months?

What is the point of going on with the war going on......? Let the Yanbei Army face a more severe situation!

From the military's point of view, there is no point in delaying the emperor's order, unless Empress Zhang Huang reappears in the world, the academy can end this battlefield in a short time!

But is it possible?

After all, Empress Zhang Huang has been missing for more than ten years......

It's just that what the academy means, and he's probably from the academy, right?

Gu Xingzhi was in a dilemma, and after learning the news of Zhou Zechen's southward departure, he made a decision to avoid it.

"Boy of the Zhou family, do you know why I have been staying in this mountain all these years, fighting against those rogues in the South China Sea, and I am not willing to go back to the capital and the academy?" Gu Xingzhi suddenly asked.

Zhou Zechen frowned slightly, and said very honestly, "I know some." My grandfather once said that it seemed to be because of a woman?"

Gu Xingzhi nodded.

Yes, it's because of a woman, a woman who has been buried in his heart for more than 30 years......

"Boy of the Zhou family, back then, when I was as old as you, I was also in the prime of life, I entered the holy land of the empire and met a very good girl...... Her name is Qing'er, and she is the daughter of a certain teacher in the academy......" Gu Xingzhi fell into the memory, "At that time, all our boys liked her, naturally, including me. However, she fell in love with him......"

Gu Xingzhi said this, silent for a moment.

Then, he looked up at Zhou Zechen on the side.

"Do you know who she's crushed?" he asked.

Zhou Zechen shook his head, his eyes as calm and indifferent as ever.

"It's the first emperor!" Gu Xingzhi sighed, "Back then, the person Qing'er fell in love with was the first emperor who studied in the academy in Weifu. Later, despite the teacher's opposition, Qing'er wanted to leave the academy and follow the emperor into the palace. The teacher disagreed and locked her up. It's me...... It was I who couldn't stand Qing'er's soft begging and secretly let her go. ”

Gu Xingzhi said this, his eyes became very subtle.

Later, Qing'er really entered the palace, but the first emperor married someone else as the queen. Heartbroken, Qing'er wanted to return to the academy, but found out that she was pregnant. Later, Qing'er, who was depressed all day long, died in childbirth when she gave birth to the princess. The teacher was also so angry that he fell ill. Gu Xingzhi lowered his head reproachfully.

After Qing'er passed away, the teacher was disheartened and turned white overnight, and from then on he was willing to stay in the trial valley of the back mountain and never go out of the mountain again...... And I, because of deep self-blame, came to southern Xinjiang after leaving the academy, and since then, I have never returned. ”

Saying this, Gu Xingzhi looked up at Zhou Zechen on the side.

"Boy of the Zhou family, do you know now? Over the years, the reason why I have cut off contact with the Hui Academy is not because of dissatisfaction, but because I blame myself, because I don't dare!" Gu Xingzhi got up and stood up, looking up in the direction of the Four Seasons Mountain Range.
