"What is the intention of the prince to call Gao back?" Gao Chen didn't want to continue to play Tai Chi with the regent, and his childhood friendship was very different now.

"I've been to that place for a few years, and Ah Chen's temper has grown." The regent took a shallow sip of tea, "In the past, Ah Chenke was always called Brother Wang Zhou. ”

"The prince also said it just now, that was in the past." Gao Chen frowned slightly when he heard that sentence Brother Zhou, and there was some impatience in his tone, "People are looking forward." ”

I heard that the regent's concubine has been in the limelight in recent years, and he is much stronger in all aspects than the son-in-law who suddenly contracted a leg disease when he was nearly thirty years old.

Therefore, Gao Chen's request for the emperor of the southern kingdom to send reinforcements to the border must have been known to the regent.

just pretended to be deaf and dumb, and at the same time transferred him back in the name of the unscrupulous king.

Gao Chen only felt a chill down his spine, since ancient times, the new emperor always had to follow the old emperor's inaction method to build public opinion, take the opportunity to abolish the emperor, and add a yellow robe.

The change of dynasty is a historical trend that cannot be changed, but the people of the southern country are so innocent, just because of one person's political ambition to become cannon fodder.

If the regent really wanted to damage the reputation of the unscrupulous monarch and let the northern kingdom capture the city, he sent troops to expel the iron cavalry of the northern kingdom from the country, so as to gain praise and glory.

Clearly is absurd.

With the current military strength and prestige of the regent, why do you need to do anything more.

Listening to Gao Chen's thorny words, the regent suddenly stood up from his chair, and the gilded robe made him more and more majestic, with a strength that could not be ignored.

"People look forward." The regent chuckled dryly, "You've wanted to guard that place where birds don't all your life?" ”

"Look at this capital, how prosperous and lively it is, it's much better than that broken place, right?"

At this point, the regent flicked his sleeves angrily, as if he was a little angry, "You also know that people have to look ahead. ”

The regent Xu Zhou has always been a doer, and Gao Chen, as his favorite childhood playmate, is naturally reluctant to let go of the soldiers who are guarding the border and sleeping in the open.

Calling him back in the name of the Dumb King of No Way is just to let him get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and make a career in the place where he can really be used.

In the end, he was good, and regarded his hard work as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Lord Wang, a few days ago, the northern kingdom led 100,000 iron cavalry soldiers to the city, if you refuse to send troops for a long time, then let Gao die for the country, and the horse leather shroud is also in line with the ending of the Gao family."

Gao Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but there was some abandonment in his tone, and he directly used the faux regent of "you" for the power-leaning regent.

The actual military power of the southern kingdom is in the hands of the regent alone, and Gao Chen can understand this.

As long as the regent made up his mind not to send troops to reinforcements, the border would be broken, and the method he taught the lieutenant general could only delay for a little time, and the empty city and the shortage of food and grass would sooner or later be captured by the iron cavalry of the northern country.

In recent years, the northern country has secretly developed a lot of excellent soldiers, if they are allowed to capture the city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the southern defense of the city is all shrimp soldiers and crab generals who eat and wait for death, if the northern country invades the south, it will definitely be like a bamboo.

When the southern kingdom falls, he will be a criminal minister for the ages, how will he face the ancestors of the Gao family after his death?

"You ......" Xu Zhou was so angry with him that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Get out, if you want to guard the broken city, go and defend it." ”

Hearing the words of the regent, Gao Chen knew that he had taken a step back, so he hurriedly stood up straight, and his tone returned to the superficial respect he had when he first came in, "Thank you for your success." ”

Xu Zhou watched Gao Chen retreat respectfully, and with a wave of his big hand, he brushed all the tea cup chess games deliberately placed on the table to the ground, and the black and white warm jade chess pieces with excellent texture jumped to the ground one by one, making a series of crisp sounds.

Well, that's good.

When Ah Chen grows up, he will know about Brother Disobedient Zhou.

The maid at the door shrank her neck in fright when she heard the noise in the house, the regent has always been cold, and rarely gets angry when he throws something like this.

Gao Chen paused slightly, straightened his back and walked out.

Xu Zhou won't touch him, he knows this very well, he has been like this since he was a child, he just doesn't want to, and he won't hurt him.

- It's just that Xu Zhou shouldn't care about him.

Gao Chen took Liuyue to the border after a little rectification, coming and going in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to prepare.

Gao Chen's biological mother felt sorry for her son, so she stuffed some gold and silver jewelry for Liuyue, saying that she was a girl whose family suffered with Gao Chen, and she could exchange those small things for something in the future.

Liuyue was a little moved, she had never seen her biological mother since she was born, and she only knew that she was her unreliable-looking father who pulled her up with "a handful of and a handful of urine".

Now that I see Gao Chen's mother, looking at the face that has climbed a few fine wrinkles but is still good-looking, and the warm hand holding herself, I feel a little intimate in my heart.

Maybe there is a bit of love and black flavor in it, but such a woman makes Liuyue really feel the concern that can't be pretended.

Liuyue felt that her life was quite comic, and when she was in the heavenly realm, she had been mixed up for thousands of years without learning anything, and she didn't seem to have learned anything important except for her age.

But I accidentally went to the human world for such a time, but I really saw the hardships of the border soldiers and the prosperous changes along the way.

There are places where you can't even afford to eat, and naturally there are crispy bone areas where you are so rich, the gap between the rich and the poor, the suffering of the world, and even birth, old age, sickness and death, all of which are not visible to an idle immortal in the heavenly realm.

- Whoever has tasted bitterness can truly feel the sweetness.

Liuyue looked at the man in front of him with a straight back, he was riding a horse, and his amber resolute eyes were staring intently at the north, a place that was barren and outrageously poor, but there was no trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Liuyue was a little surprised by such a troubled move, but the broken general told her that if the situation was not right, he would send someone to send her away safely.

Liuyue was not happy, this return to Beijing was a futile return, the grain and grass troops did not bring anything back, and the iron cavalry army in the north was still eyeing it, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to attack the south.

She couldn't go.

She fell in love with this mortal who was thinking about her home and country, a mortal who was responsible, responsible, and thoughtful.

Stupid and cute.

Liuyue tightened the arm around his waist and rested her head on his broad shoulder, "Since you have married me, I will go wherever you go." ”

Liuyue listened to the wind in her ears, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Gao Chen, you don't want to leave me in this life, that's what you said, life is the same as death." ”

Gao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, his good-looking amber eyes glowed with a touching bright color that made people can't bear to look away, "Okay." ”

No one knows about Gao Chen's return to Beijing, only the person concerned and those few fragmentary relatives and friends who are tight-lipped.

So the way back was also smooth, and when the two of them arrived at the place where the birds didn't, they learned from the adjutant general that the garrison of the northern country had retreated a hundred miles.

"General Gao, about two days ago, the soldiers in the southern city brought grain and grass over, and now the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, and they are not afraid of consuming it with the northern country."

Listening to the adjutant general's bright eyes, Gao Chen fell into deep thought, two days ago, it was not when they were about to return to the border.

"Sent by Nancheng?" Gao Chen was stunned in his heart, if he remembered correctly, Nancheng was the territory of the regent.

"It's strange to say, how did we beg them before, the birdman who guarded the city refused to help, but now it's okay, I sent grain and grass over, and reinforced 30,000 soldiers, now our city is solid."

Gao Chen listened to the adjutant general's words, and probably understood something - the regent sent people to reinforce the border.

It was an accident.

With the temper of the regent, it would have been great to be able to let him go back and ignore it, but I didn't expect to help him.

Liuyue saw that the grain and grass soldiers were enough to resist the invasion of the northern country, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because of the hardships suffered by the broken general, Liuyue found that he could switch between the mode of cats and people freely, and very well avoided the embarrassing situation of changing from a cat to a person or from a person to a cat without a word.

There has also been an improvement in mana, and the last time she tried to summon something out of her spare time, she was able to summon a pheasant that looked delicious.

If that's the case, then staying at the border won't be too bitter, and if you have something to do, you can summon some food to improve the food, so as not to eat that disgusting dead man's unknown sturdy object every day.

- Tsk, that obscene green bubble food is so magical that it refreshes her perception of dark cuisine.

She carried a cloth bag on her back and asked a soldier to take her to a place where food was growing, but it was not feasible for her to try.

When he was still in the capital, Liuyue bought a lot of seeds with strong vitality in the shop, such as quinoa, potatoes and sweet potatoes and corn, which he could now plant on this barren land.

I don't know if I can live, but a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and of course it's best to be able to grow it, but I can't and can't do it.

In addition to regular daily drills and taking turns to defend the city, the soldiers of the southern border also needed to go to the fields to farm and subsidize military rations in case of emergency.

Because he was afraid of disturbing the morale of the army, Gao Chen rushed back to the capital overnight with Liuyue to hide it from the soldiers, so the soldiers didn't know about it.

Seeing so many seeds, the soldier was a little shocked in his heart, and his admiration for Liuyue was even greater, "The general's wife is really not comparable to an ordinary woman, and she actually took out so many seeds of drought-tolerant crops at once" The thoughts were written on his face.

Liuyue coughed lightly twice, "What about the hoe?" Although it is not much, if it survives, it may be able to alleviate this natural disaster. ”
