The coldest time of winter in Yecheng has come. After several heavy snowfalls, the temperature plummeted, but the weather was extremely sunny after the heavy snow stopped. The sun shines on every corner of the entire Yecheng. The snow and fields on the outskirts of Yecheng are vast, and people can hardly open their eyes under the strong sunlight.

Winter hunting is actually not a good choice, at least for the Wuwei general Hou He. Hou He is not much older than the general Gao Cheng, and even some days he lives in the prime minister's mansion, and he naturally knows the prime minister's eldest son and son, Gao Cheng. It's just that the two of them haven't had close contact. Except for the familiarity, the others are no different from strangers.

If Gao Cheng has been the bright moon held by the stars since he was a child, then Hou He is an inconspicuous wallside grass and roadside flowers, which abound. Hou He is really too mediocre, if it weren't for his father Puyang County Gong, Yuzhou Thorn History, and Situ Hou Jing, he himself would not have attracted the slightest attention from others. mediocre appearance, mediocre talent, mediocre riding and shooting...... Nothing is not mediocre. Fortunately, he is a normal person and is not lame like his father.

Hou He actually has benefits, he is not scheming, and he can even be called quite kind. Maybe it's because I've been a proton for too long, and I'm always in seclusion with my mother and second brother, so I'm also a little reticent. He is different from Gao Cheng, he has not been able to follow his father's side, and he is neither good at words nor scheming.

The prime minister Gao Huan treated his son very harshly, and if he didn't listen to the lesson, he would directly bring a stick and be ruthless. Hou He is too strange to his father Hou Jing. Hou Jing doesn't love women and values his wife and son, but he has to take his son as a hostage, which is also something he hates. Because of the strangeness between him and his son, he can't make up for it. Hou He sometimes envies the kind of male intimacy between the prime minister and the general's father and son.

The north wind was strong and blew like a blade across the face. Hou He rubbed his frozen hands vigorously. Looking at Gao Cheng, the general galloping on a prancing horse in two-crotch armor in the distance, it was as if he didn't know how cold it was at this time. In fact, Hou He not only does not like hunting, but even does not like horseback riding, and prefers to study behind closed doors. Secretly thinking to himself, the previous general was deposed as the son of the world, and he had also studied behind closed doors in the Manyun Pavilion of Tenglong Mountain in Jinyang for a long time, which made him unable to imagine why only such a general who was galloping in the wind and wearing flying clothes would be so excited?

In addition to Cui Jishu and Cui Xian's uncle and nephew, the new Wuwei general Hou He was hunting in the suburbs with the general Gao Cheng. In addition, it is Yang Su. Yang Yu was formerly the governor of Taiyuan, and his relationship with Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang was also extraordinary. And he had a knee-to-knee conversation with the general Gao Cheng in Tenglong Mountain in Jinyang, which can be regarded as a leading edge. Therefore, Yang Yu is a very special person, especially in the relationship between the prince Gao Cheng and the second son Gao Yang. Moreover, the prime minister Gao Huan also attaches great importance to this person, and he was recently promoted to a free cavalry attendant and a scrivener in the department.

If it is said that Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang has gradually become the deputy of the eldest brother Gao Cheng, then it can also be said that Yang Yu is the deputy of Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang. It is rare that this person has been trusted and reused by the two brothers at the same time. In fact, Yang Yu is not a complete outsider, he and the eldest prime minister Gao Huan are regarded as Weng's sons-in-law, and he and his son Gao Cheng and second son Gao Yang can also be regarded as relatives of Uncle Lang.

However, Chen Yuankang, an auxiliary general who is deeply trusted by Gao Cheng and often calls him his brother, has disappeared, which makes people feel very strange.

The general Gao Cheng was winter hunting on the outskirts of Yecheng for several days, and all the followers came out with armor. Whether he was keen on hunting or not, he didn't dare to sweep the general's interest. I'm used to being pampered, except for the general himself, who enjoys it, and the others really can't stand the pain of wind and frost every day.

In fact, winter is not so easy to find prey. There are no birds in the sky, no beasts on the earth, no living creatures are found in the land, and there are no living creatures in the land. Even if there is a little beast that is also on the verge of despair, it is so pitiful that even if it is shot, there is no point in shooting. But the general was in great interest for days, and even if he didn't get anything, he was not affected in the slightest.

It's still the same today, occasionally seeing a hare or something, the general dislikes it too little, and he doesn't shoot it. It has been a long time since they came out, and Cui Jishu and Cui Xian's uncle and nephew were tired and cold, and they slowly fell behind. Hou He has been following him. It was Yang Su, who thought that he was weak, but who knew that he had hidden kung fu, and he was the only one among these people who could catch up with the great general Gao Cheng.

Where does Gao Cheng care if others are tired or not, cold or cold, although his clothes and armor are thin, he is drenched in hot sweat. indulged in willfulness and galloped the horse for a long time, and did his best to slow down the horse's galloping speed. Only then did I find that everyone else was gone, and only Yang Su followed.

"The general is so miraculous and saintly, we are really beyond our reach." Yang Su was also sweaty and panting, it was really difficult for him. Obviously, he was already doing his best, and he couldn't look as usual like Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng carried the reins, strolled from his mount, and said with a smile, "After Zunyan became the head of my brother's mansion, he politely distanced himself from me. ”

There is a smile on his face, but it is difficult to distinguish the depth of his words, as if he is serious or as if he is joking, but no matter how he says it, he must not be honest. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely try his best to refute it, but Yang Su said with a smile, "What the general said is very true, Xiaguan was originally the governor of Taiyuan, and he naturally respected the Duke of Taiyuan." The Duke of Taiyuan is the younger brother of the general, and the subordinates do their best to serve the Duke of Taiyuan is to serve the general. Now that the prime minister has promoted the lower officials, the lower officials are naturally Chen Li, and he will never be a vegetarian meal, and he will live up to the kindness of the prime minister and the general. The words are neither humble nor arrogant, and the meaning is very clear. No matter what official position you do, since it is ordered by the prime minister and the general, you must do your best, that is, to serve the prime minister and the general.

Gao Cheng grabbed the reins and dismounted, looking around at the snow on the outskirts of Yecheng. The terrain is flat, and the most difficult thing in such an environment is to hide, as long as you look far away, you can see it clearly. Yang Yu also dismounted after the general, walked over and stood behind Gao Cheng, looking at his back. Only two horses were temporarily freed, and they strolled off into the distance.

"Zunyan is a smart person, I don't need to tell you more. Today, I will tell you clearly that there is a famine in Guanzhong, and I have agreed with the prime minister to take this opportunity to march west to Chang'an, and I will march in the near future. Yecheng was guarded by Taiyuan Gong Gaoyang, and internal and external affairs were presided over by Shangshu Zuo Servant and Sun Teng. Zunyan," Gao Cheng turned around and looked at Yang Su at this time, completely devoid of the banter just now, "It's not a trivial matter to pick up the missing and fill in the gaps, do you understand my hard work?" ”

At this time, I can't see that Gao Cheng is just a young man who has just grown up, and his old mind to become a country is always amazing.

Of course Yang Su understands the meaning of these words. Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan, is not the real lord, he is just a temporary Gao family, or even a temporary brother. With his sitting, the one who can really decide is Sun Teng, who assists him. And Sun Teng doesn't want to do everything himself, Yang Yu has to do what he should do under Sun Teng's control. It's a laborious and thankless errand, but it's the most important thing. The general is so delicate, busy with the layout, not only one person has the power, is to make the entire Gao clan a group at the peak of power. This insight is much stronger than that of the previous Erzhu clan.

"The general is relieved. The lower officers and the generals are of one heart and one mind. Yang Su knew that there was no need to say anything at this time. Tongue Can Lotus might as well really do what Gao Cheng assigned.

At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and it was Cui's uncle, nephew, and Hou He who slowly chased after him.

Gao Cheng was already preparing to return to the city. Ignoring the approaching sound of horses' hooves, he turned to look out into the snow. I suddenly found an ox cart and a team of people approaching at some point. At a glance, you can see that this car is not an ordinary person. Curious, I watched the ox cart from far and near.

The ox cart passed very calmly, drifting away until it disappeared in the direction of Yecheng. At this time, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian and Hou He had already dismounted and surrounded them. Gao Cheng was about to give the order to return to Yecheng, and accidentally found that a few more horses were galloping from the direction where the ox cart came just now, and it seemed that they were also going to Yecheng, and they were getting closer and closer, and they could see it clearly soon.

Everyone present was amazed.

The galloping in front was a young woman, dressed in very ordinary clothes, dressed in black, although a little inappropriate, but this did not affect her alluring posture in the slightest. Behind is a brightly dressed man who looks like a little maid. The next few people were rude.

The girl obviously saw the situation here, she had already reined in her horse, and she was looking at Gao Cheng, the general in the stars holding the moon.

Yang Yu and Cui Xian were still calm, and Hou He involuntarily walked a few steps forward. He had never seen such an amazing girl, and he suddenly felt a little confused.

It's not just Hou He. Such a girl is so captivating to the country and the city, and has the quality of poetry and elegance, delicate, soft, heroic, and pitiful, and even the indescribable charm hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, she is so perfectly gathered on her alone. Creating things makes people, I'm afraid that Emperor Wa used a thousand times or a hundred times more effort to create this girl that day. Not to mention Dawei, even the world is unique.

"Lord Lang," Cui Jishu rubbed behind Gao Cheng excitedly, "It's the son-in-law of the Shangdang Taishou Li Xizong's family." ”

Of course, Gao Cheng recognized it. If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the moonlight, he would have almost forgotten about this person. And at this moment, he suddenly remembered in his heart, why did she return to Yecheng now? I'm afraid I'm here to marry my younger brother Gao Yang, right? His father, Prime Minister Gao Huan, and his mother, Concubine Lou, agreed to marry the daughter of Li Xizong, the leader of the party, for his second son, Gao Yang, which was about to come true.

Gao Cheng turned around and looked at it regardless of it, looked over the crowd, and saw that his horse was not far away. At this time, the horse also understood human nature, and ran to the master with joy. Gao Cheng went up and grabbed the reins, and when he got on the horse, he suddenly heard Cui Xian say leisurely, "The person that the general has been waiting for for a long time is coming." ”

The moonlight's black clothes not only did not detract from the color, but added a heroic spirit, but inadvertently added a layer of melancholy. I don't know what she can't explain.

"Lady, she is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's family and the son of the King of Bohai." The little maid Wan'er immediately came to her side and reminded.

"It's the Great General." Moonlight said with a slight hatred.

"The lady still don't meet him. He is the elder brother of the second son. Wan'er seemed to be talking to herself.

Moonlight didn't speak. She also saw Gao Cheng get on the horse. She has never seen him in armor, and he is not the same person as the eldest prince on Tenglong Mountain in Jinyang, and the naughty young man has become a pillar of seeking the country. The moonlight looked at Gao Cheng in the distance and couldn't move his eyes.

Gao Cheng got on the horse and turned the horse's head to understand what Cui Xian meant.

On the other side of the moonlight group, another group of people was gradually approaching, and they were already coming like a storm and clouds. It was also in the direction of Yecheng, and it had already arrived very close to Gao Cheng and the others, so it was obviously intentional. At the head of the pack are two generals in their prime. The one in front is unusually strong and tall, with an ordinary face, slightly rough due to age or weather, and a majestic temperament.

Interestingly, there was another person with him. The one in the back is the same age as the one in the front, and the appearance is similar. But it looks very different. The former is too mediocre, the latter is unforgettable. The eyebrows themselves are heavy and big, but the eyebrows are thick and long, and there is always an uneven look in the eyes, so that people can see that they are horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, which makes people think of the appearance of the tomb beast, but it is vivid, and I can't help but feel funny.

The person in front is Lieutenant Gao Shen of the Imperial History, and the person in the back is his third brother, General Gao Gao.

Cui Xian refers to the high, the word Ao Cao.
