New shoots have sprouted from the dead branches in the garden, and the occasional bird chirps and flies around.

Gu Rong's injuries gradually healed in this spring.

took off his heavy winter clothes, put on spring clothes, and was freshening up, when Fang Zhong's voice came from outside the door, "Girl, it's ready, we're going out." ”

Today is the annual Flower God Festival in Cannes, Fang Zhong saw that she had been sitting in the house for the past few days, afraid that she would be bored, so he specially took her out to play today.

Gu Rong followed him to the gate, and when she saw the figure at the door, Gu Rong couldn't help but whisper to him, "Isn't your prince very busy?" Coming with us too? ”

Fang Zhong also replied in a low voice, "Girl, you have to ask the prince himself." ”

Ding Xiuyan has been really busy these days, she doesn't know what she is busy with, and she has no intention of exploring.

Fang Zhong looked at Gu Rong's expression and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, girl, the prince is just doing some official business these days, and he hasn't met with other women. ”

What are these words? Gu Rong was even more puzzled, this sentence sounded as if she had a personal relationship with Ding Xiuyan.

Just as she was about to reply, she had already arrived at the door, and Gu Rong had no choice but to give up.

Flower Dynasty Festival, also known as the Flower God Festival, during the festival, people will go to the suburbs together, and the girls cut five-colored paper and stick it on the flower branches, called "appreciating red".

Since it was a trip, the four of them naturally walked on foot, and along the way, it can be seen that the girl was in pairs of threes, preparing to go to the temple with tribute and pray for the blessing of the god of flowers.

Fang Zhong bought a paper rabbit from the stall and said, "Girl, look at this rabbit, it doesn't look like a ......?"

Before he finished speaking, a strong rush came from behind him, and Fang Zhong was rushed so vigorously that he was about to hit someone.

"Brother Fang!" Gu Rong subconsciously wanted to pull him, completely forgetting that she was now losing all her martial arts.

The man in front of him turned around.

Gu Rong and Fang Zhong sighed, and one by one pounced on the person in front of them.

Gu Rong's forehead hit Ding Xiuyan's chest hard, her brain was dizzy for a while, her eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, and she couldn't help but cover her forehead.

The big man behind him kept apologizing, "I'm really sorry, I was messing with my partner, unintentionally." ”

Gu Rong was in a lot of pain, this Ding Xiuyan looked gentle and dignified, why was his body so hard! She covered her forehead and raised her head, Ding Xiuyan frowned and said, "I'll see how the injury is." ”

After speaking, he took away the hand she was holding, and his originally white forehead turned red, and he leaned in and blew it gently.

His eyebrows and eyes were close enough to smell the ambergris on his body, as well as the tip of his nose, his lips, and his chin...... Gu Rong's brain was buzzing, and she couldn't think for a while.

What kind of father and mother can give birth to such a person?

Fang Zhong's skin is rough and thick, and it doesn't hurt or itch when he falls.

There were already a lot of people on this street, and it was inevitable that there would be a collision, and after reprimanding the two of them, they were gone.

He blew softly.

Gu Rong was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly brushed his hand away, "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt." ”

With this short period of accident, Ding Xiuyan always walked by her side during the subsequent trip, and Gu Rong was not good at gossiping with Fang Zhong anymore.

Walking and walking, several people were attracted by the tricks on the road, and stopped to watch for a while, only to see that in the middle of the crowd, the woman was wearing a flower dress, pretending to be a flower god, carrying a basket and scattering flower petals.

Just as he was looking at it, Ding Xiuyan handed over a paper rabbit next to him.

Xu is afraid that she would not hear clearly, so he leaned over and said in her ear, "I'll give you one." ”

Gu Rong looked at him in surprise, she wanted to ask several times, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate. She took the rabbit and finally couldn't help asking, "Are you so good to other girls?" As soon as the words came out, Gu Rong was a little annoyed, what did she ask!

Sure enough, Ding Xiuyan smiled, "Except for you, I have never looked at other girls." ”

Gu Rong didn't understand why it would be her, according to his identity and status, what kind of woman did he want.

Ding Xiuyan still looked at her fixedly, and said, "After finishing our work, we are about to leave, in other words, will you go with me?" ”

He added, "I will protect you in the future." ”

Go with him? Gu Rong asked herself.

Just as he didn't know how to answer, the people in the house hurriedly looked over, and when they saw Ding Xiuyan, they hurriedly reported, "Lord, the plan has changed." ”

The subordinate whispered for a while, only to see Ding Xiuyan's eyes darken suddenly, and his voice was a little colder, "Have you taken a closer look?" ”

The man nodded, waiting for his next move.

Gu Rong didn't know what was going on, anyway, this Flower God Festival couldn't be played. The four of them went home, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Ding Xiuyan instructed the guards, "Take care of the girl." ”

Gu Rong didn't ask what was going on, only to see him leave in a hurry with Fang Zhong.

There were still very few people in the garden, and when she had nothing to do, she sat alone in the yard basking in the sun.

The soft sunlight lazily basks on people, making people drowsy, such days are what parents want to see the most, and spend this life in peace.

Gu Rong thought blankly, if she followed Ding Xiuyan and got his protection, it would not be impossible.

She removed the red rope around her neck, and on it hung a jade whistle, black all over, with smooth tentacles, and it looked like it had been some years old.

Gu Rong slowly looked at Yu Xiao. If someone is here, they will be amazed that there is still black jade in this world.

This jade whistle was given to her by the master when she went down the mountain, and there was a Gu hidden in it, and the master said that as long as this jade whistle was blown, the hidden guards could be summoned.

Going to Beiyuan? Gu Rong hesitated.

But there is no home for her in this world for a long time, the West Yuan and the North Yuan are the same wherever they go, and Ding Xiuyan is very good.

Gu Rong stared at it for a long time, and finally blew the jade roar.

Ding Xiuyan did not come back in the evening, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became solemn.

At that time, a guard knocked on the door, "Girl, on the orders of the prince, we will take the girl to the palace." ”

Gu Rong didn't fall asleep, she opened the door when she heard this, and Ding Xiuyan's guards outside the door were waiting for her.

Gu Rong was about to leave with the guard, but the guard reminded again, "The prince said, if the girl has something urgent, bring it with her." ”

Looks like something is about to happen!

Gu Rong said, "It's nothing important, let's go." ”

Follow the guard to take the carriage to the Lixian Mansion, and the guard took her to the backyard, "The prince ordered, the girl is waiting here, and the prince will come over in a while." ”

There are officers and soldiers inside and outside the palace, and there will be no accidents if she is left alone.

But what happened?

Gu Rong sat alone in place, not knowing what to do, looking from here, she could just see the gate of the mansion, Fang Zhong was walking towards the lobby with more than a dozen people, all of them with swords on their waists, their expressions were solemn, and they didn't say a word.

Gu Rong soon knew what was going on.

When she was a child, Ding Xiuyan came to look for her, and when she saw that her clothes were thin, she asked, "Why don't you wear one more?" ”

"I didn't ......"

"You wait."

Before she finished speaking, Ding Xiuyan chose to go back the same way, and quickly went and returned, with an extra black cloak in his hand, he tied the cloak to her, and asked, "In other words, are you willing to go back to Chuzhou with me?" ”

He thought she would consider, hesitate, and soon, she nodded.

Ding Xiuyan was happy in his heart, but when he came to his face, he just smiled lightly, "Okay, let's go to Yanzhou first." ”

Outside the palace, the horses were ready, and eleven people turned over their horses and prepared to rush to Yanzhou.

Around midnight today, a large number of Dongyue enemy troops were found outside the city, they lurked outside the city for many days, sent people to sneak into the city quietly, poisoned the well water that the people drink, caused many people to be poisoned and vomited and diarrhea, and today suddenly attacked the city, and the people of Kangcheng were panicked for a while.

Kangcheng is not a military powerhouse, with only 2,000 troops, and Yanzhou, which is closest to Kangcheng, is garrisoned by 30,000 troops of the Northern Yuan generals, and the best way is to move rescue troops.

Fang Zhong volunteered to lead 2,000 officers and soldiers to defend the city.

The group quickly took the path out of the city.

The spring rain is dripping.

Horses splashed across the stream and ran through the endless night.

When it was almost dawn, the group took a short rest.

Someone handed over a water bladder, Gu Rong recognized his name as Ziyun, thanked him, opened the water bladder and took a sip.

She was a little wet, but she didn't care about it at all, and asked, "How long will it take for us to get to Yanzhou?" ”

When Ziyun heard this, he looked at her a little strangely and said, "Girl, let's not go to Yanzhou." ”
