Gu Lanting didn't dare to look back, as soon as she clamped the horse's belly, the horse's hooves galloped, she touched the brocade bag pinned to her waist, and her eyes were scarlet.

She remembered when she was a child, when her mother and brother were still there, and every night, the family of four often sat around under the rattan trellis in the courtyard, drinking tea and admiring the moon. At that time, Gu Zhenglin always liked to put her around his neck and circle around the vine tree to make her happy.

That time, she still cherishes it in her heart.

The horse's feet were so fast that she came to the gate of the city in a flash.

Shen Shichu was dressed in a dark robe, rode a horse and walked a few steps forward, looking at her: "I have something on my mind." ”

"I've kept you waiting." She shook her head, her eyes clear.

He didn't tear her down, he took the reins of her horse and pulled it forward, driving side by side with him: "Let's rush to Nanguan first, and Lin Shu and Shen Jiajun will follow." ”

"This time, I'm going to trouble General Shen again," Gu Lanting smiled at him apologetically: "It shouldn't have involved your ......"

"That's fine," Shen Shichu looked ahead, his eyebrows slightly curved: "In case something really happens to you, I have to go all the way to save you again." ”

"According to what you mean, Gu Jiajun is so difficult to shoulder the burden?"

Gu Lanting's eyebrows were pale, obviously displeased, but he couldn't see his emotions.

"What do you say?" Shen Shichu glanced at her sideways, and his face was solemn: "Do you think that the Gu family army, which has just experienced a protracted and tired battle, can withstand the combined forces of Nanzhao and the Ranger Tribe?" ”

The Ranger Tribe has always been brave and good at fighting, and she is not ignorant, but she is ......

She was silent.

Shen Shichu grabbed the reins of her horse and led the two of them slowly forward: "The emperor gave an order in front of the courtiers this time, but it saved me a lot of trouble. ”

"Huh?" Gu Lanting raised his eyes suspiciously, and suddenly understood: "What do you mean......"

Shen Shichu was silent, and threw the reins of the horse back to her: "It's not too early, we still have to hurry." ”

Gu Lanting was stunned for a while before raising the reins and catching up.

She seemed to understand what he meant.

Behind him, dust was flying.

In order not to delay the hour, the two of them hurried until late at night, until they reached the Qianshan Pass, and then stopped.

"Let's take a rest first," Shen Shichu reined in his horse and looked at the dark peaks around him: "The road in the mountains is not easy to walk at night. ”

"Hmm."

Gu Lanting turned over and dismounted, and there happened to be Cong Xiaolin on the side of the road, so she led the horse and walked over.

"Gu Lanting," Shen Shichu untied a bag of dry food from his horse and threw it to her: "Aren't you hungry?" ”

She was leaning against the trunk of the tree and closing her eyes to breathe, she took it, opened it and sniffed it, frowning.

"What? Do you dislike something to eat? Shen Shichu knocked on her head with a sword: "Don't be so picky, in this barren mountain and wilderness, it's good to have food." ”

Gu Lanting took out a whole piece of walnut crisp from it: "Do you like to eat this?" ”

"Hmm."

She took out another piece of whole mung bean cake: "You also like to eat this?" ”

"Hmm."

She frowned: "Why are they all little girls' favorite food?" ”

"You don't like these?" Shen Shichu said in surprise.

Gu Lanting shook his head, and threw a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth with disgust.

He added indifferently: "This is all prepared by Lin Shu." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Lanting didn't doubt that she had him, and she was indeed hungry, so she threw another piece of walnut cake into her mouth, she squinted, it was delicious, but it was sweeter.

Filling his stomach, Shen Shichu made a fire to keep warm, and Gu Lanting was about to open his mouth to thank him for his pastries, when a very faint sound suddenly sounded not far away.

She quickly grabbed her sword and looked sharply into the woods.
