Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Night Shadows
There was a wind blowing in his face, and Xu Fang in the cold wind couldn't help but shudder, he gathered his clothes meaninglessly, and then realized that he was wearing a soldier cloth from Dongyue Kingdom, and there was no robe at all.
He couldn't help rubbing his hands to ward off the cold, and his sharp eyes saw Gu Rong beckoning to him in the dark.
Xu Fang leaned towards her.
Gu Rong took him and quietly walked back along the road just now, hiding in the night.
The two of them were soldiers not far away, and they were so close that they didn't dare to speak for fear of being discovered. Xu Fang squatted and hid with her, her legs and feet were numb, and she wanted to ask her what she saw just now, but she felt that since Gu Rong called him, she must have her reason, so she waited patiently.
After waiting for a long time, finally a soldier came to relieve his hands nearby, Gu Rong quietly touched it, covered the mouth of one of them with one hand, kicked the back of the other soldier's head with his right foot, and then twisted his hand, and only heard a click in the dark night, and the person slowly slipped down in her arms.
Gu Rong took off the soldier's clothes and changed them, turned her head and saw Xu Fang stunned, she stared, and urged in a low voice, "Hurry!" ”
Xu Fang woke up like a dream and hurriedly changed into another soldier's clothes.
The two dragged the body away, found a random place to dispose of it, and Gu Rong took Xu Fang into the carriage procession.
Gu Rong drove the car, Xu Fang's eyes were glazed, and after a while, he turned his face to look at her in surprise.
In the dark night, Gu Rong's face was expressionless, his eyes were black and white, the contours of his side face were soft, not as resolute as a man, his skin seemed to be whiter than that of ordinary men, and the whole person carried a sharp coldness.
Xu Fang thought about the click just now, and involuntarily touched his neck, his hair stood on end, and his heart was a little cold.
He swallowed and asked, "...... Where is this going? ”
Gu Rong replied, "I don't know, maybe it's Bianjing, maybe it's Qingcheng." ”
"What's in the car?"
"Military rations."
Bianjing, Qingcheng, military rations?
Xu Fang woke up from a dream and realized that something was wrong, "The military rations on this cart are going to be transported north?" ”
Gu Rong nodded and said, "That's probably right." ”
Xu Fang was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "How can it be ......?"
Gu Rong had to make the worst calculation, and said, "How is it impossible, Yanxing Pass is located in the south of Qingcheng, garrisoned by Yicheng King Muzhake, Yucheng is the Han King Li Xiao, once the war starts, Dongyue's rapid march abandons the border county, and the situation of encirclement is formed to thank you, then Bianjing and Qingcheng will fall to death." ”
Xu Fang hurriedly asked, "But ...... them What about Liaocheng in Dongyue, are they going to abandon Liaocheng? How could it be ......"
"How could it be?" Gu Rong's voice was a little cold, "Do you think this deal is cost-effective to exchange a mere Liaocheng for a grateful life?" ”
Exchange Liaocheng for the life of gratitude?
The commander of the southern border is Xie Wangye, but everyone knows that after 12 years of the Yuan calendar, Xie Shizi is the person in charge, after that year, Xie Yi has never suffered defeat, and has fought for 12 years, and finally became a god of war, protecting thousands of people in the north and south of the Yuan Dynasty.
Xu Fang said in a deep tone, "It's a good deal." Soon he asked, "So what do we do now?" ”
"Find a chance and destroy it!"
In any case, this batch of grain and grass must not be transported away like this!
The sky is gradually brightening, the winter in the south is wet and cold, but the trees are long and verdant, looking up, I only feel that the mountains and rivers are full of thousands of miles, and the scenery is infinite.
The snow in Luancheng is falling, the New Year is coming, the reform of the palace system, the new emperor's iron-blooded means in the Fang family and the cross-strait affairs, have finally established prestige in the court, and a new dynasty is being born.
In the study, it is as warm as spring, and the heat of the fireplace warms the whole room.
Wang Yan led the order into the palace, and as soon as he arrived outside the door, he heard a heavy cough from the imperial study.
I heard that recently, the emperor's dragon health is not good, and the imperial doctors are helpless, so they want to come to the Fang family......
Wang Yan thought that he was a little distracted, and stopped for a while, and Gonggong Li reminded him, "Lord Wang......"
Wang Yan understood and entered the door.
In the imperial study, the young emperor was reviewing the recitals.
When Wang Yan saw him, he performed the courtesy of the king, and reported the affairs of the last few days.
After listening, Gao Jian slowly closed the recital, and his father-in-law carefully waited for him to get up, and the emperor said, "Then these few things will be decided according to the original, as for the vacant Libu Lang, I don't think there are any good candidates in this court. ”
Wang Yan quietly listened to his orders.
"Have the two sides of the strait been cleaned up?"
"It's all clean, the minister personally went to do it, and the arrangements are all reliable officials, and the details are all carefully considered."
Gao Jian nodded, only to feel a slight fishy sweetness in his throat, and couldn't help coughing heavily.
Wang Yan looked at him worriedly, "Your Majesty ......"
He coughed for a long time, but just waved his hand to show him that it was okay.
Wang Yan also knew in his heart that the emperor and the empress had also been in love with each other, but now they were betrayed by this, and they were afraid that it would be a heart disease, and it would be difficult to cure it with medicine.
Unable to persuade or mention, Wang Yan could only keep silent.
The two talked for a while, Wang Yan wanted to leave the palace, and at this time, the latest battle situation came from the border pass, the first battle of Bianjing in the south, and he won!
The emperor suddenly stopped him again, "By the way, I think it's good that King Qi of Xiyuan asked to marry Ling Mei before, what do you think?" ”
Wang Yan thought about it very seriously and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
"What's wrong?"
Wang Yan bowed respectfully and replied, "My sister is already married and married. ”
"Who?" As soon as he finished asking, there were a few more heavy coughs, and Gonggong Li hurriedly waited for him to sit down and served hot tea to moisten his throat.
Wang Yanyu said, "It is said that the saint also knows it, and it is the gratitude of the Xie family that the marriage contract was made in the early years. ”
Gao Jian drank tea, nodded and said, "I have heard about this, I heard that the two met at a young age, and they fell in love at first sight, and they have always been in love with Ling Mei without regrets......" He sighed faintly and said with a smile, "Then this matter will be done, I am also tired, you can step down." ”
"The minister retired."
Gao Jianmu sent Wang Yan away, thoughtful.
The affection is deep, but how much can this affection withstand? The human heart is really the most difficult thing to figure out, why don't I make a heartfelt promise to her......
He was stunned for a while, and then instructed Li Gong to be fair, "Swing and go to the Taihang Pavilion." ”
Taihang Pavilion is the residence of the envoys.
Gao Jian's private clothes went out of the palace and did not publicize it.
He had heard of Ding Xiuyan before, when the Yuan Dynasty was still complete, he heard that Ding Taifu had a son, handsome and extraordinary, but he traveled all the year round, and it was not common to get people.
Gao Zhan, West Yuan!
Power, what a good thing! It can make generals rebel, can make siblings kill each other, swords can face each other, and it can also make people's hearts gradually distorted.
Now he is in power, but there is no one to talk to.
"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor." The young King Qi was already standing outside the pavilion, smiling, neither humble nor arrogant.
Gao Jian nodded and said with a smile, "I haven't left the palace for a long time, so I have nothing to do to come to your Taihang Palace to sit." ”
Someone had already seen the tea, Ding Xiuyan sat down on his right side, ordered someone to put on the tea set again, and said with a gentle smile, "Then Your Majesty came by coincidence, I happened to get a good tea set yesterday and learned the craft of making tea, Your Majesty might as well taste my craft." ”
Take the spring water as the source, brew the best tea, the water of the stove is boiled, brew a cup first, wait for a moment to pour it out and then pour it back into the boiling water, and suddenly a tea fragrance lingers.
Take water, boil tea, make tea, the action is pleasing to the eye, the breeze is bright and the moon is shining, if the world is a fairy who strays into the world.
How many women can not love such white clothes?
Gao Jian's mind moved slightly, took the tea, tasted it, and couldn't help sighing, "Good tea!"
"Your Majesty likes it."
Boiling tea on a snowy day, and gentlemen drinking together, is a beautiful talk.
