Shen Qiangrose saw that he was handsome, and his speech and demeanor were like that of a superior, and she couldn't help but be surprised by the identity of this special envoy from the north. She walked over, and Su Huiyi said: "This is the second son of the patrol envoy of the sixteen provinces in the north, Gu Xuanqing. ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't expect that the beautiful son in front of her was the prince of the Northland, originally she thought that the Northland was insincere about this meeting, and she didn't want such a powerful figure to come over in person. She greeted Gu Xuanqing and followed behind them, and the two did not hunt anymore, but just rode their horses and walked forward slowly, commenting on the mountains and rivers they were traveling.

Shen Qiangrose saw that Gu Xuanqing was open-minded, and his speech was even more calm and gentlemanly, and he did not give people a sense of arrogance, so she couldn't help but have a little more affection for this prince.

Su Huiyi glanced back at Shen Qiangrose from time to time, as if he was not at ease, Gu Xuanqing saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Seventh Brother really cares about his sister-in-law. ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to his sister-in-law, looked at Su Huiyi, and saw that he didn't reveal his identity, and she was not easy to intervene, so she smiled. A few people chatted casually again, all of which were entertainment words on the scene. After a long time, I heard Gu Xuanqing say: "Don't hide it from Seventh Brother, my father sent me here this time with the intention of discussing the alliance with Nandi. It's just that in recent days, many defensive lines and railways in the north have been targeted by Fuso, and it is indeed difficult to send troops to the south. The father's meaning is that the two sides will fight separately, and finally outflank and eliminate the enemies of Fusang. ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't understand military affairs, she just listened to the meaning of Gu Xuanqing's words, but on the surface, they were united, but in fact, they fought each other and did not interfere with each other.

Su Huiyi pondered for a moment before he said: "This time Fusang's march into the south has made it clear that it is to fight a long-term war with us, and the method that the second brother said is only suitable for the short term, if this is the case for a long time, the Fusang army will only exhaust the two sides, which is not conducive to the war situation." ”

Gu Xuanqing sighed and said: "Originally, I also meant this, but my father was conservative, and he didn't see the current situation clearly, and Seventh Brother didn't have to think about it, I personally was very much in favor of the union of the North and the South, but my father had a heavy army, and I couldn't do many things." ”

Su Huiyi smiled and said: "Several newspapers in China have many praises for Nandi, and my father used to act too autocraticly, in the end, it is a country, how can they compete with each other in such a trivial matter?" The national crisis is at hand, today is this, tomorrow is the other, the second brother must see the situation clearly. ”

Shen Qiangrose heard them say a few words in a circle like this, and felt inconvenienced, so she slowed down, and distanced herself from them by looking at the scenery, and from a distance, you could see that the two were still talking, the original war was not overnight, this time Gu Xuanqing came over, I was afraid that he would make any requests, and the outcome of the peace talks between the two parties might not be clear.

At sunset, the group went back and forth. Originally, Shen Qiangrose followed behind, but saw Su Huiyi turn her head and come to her. He had been grim to her since the afternoon, and now he was tense, and said, "Get on my horse." ”

Seeing his cold face, Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but feel a little weak, so she said, "No need, you go and accompany Mr. Gu." ”

Su Huiyi laughed helplessly and said: "Sometimes I really don't know what to do with you, do you know how dangerous it is for you to go up the mountain like this?" ”

As he spoke, he had already jumped off the horse and stretched out his arms towards Shen Qiangrose, she was a little embarrassed by the people around her, but Su Huiyi stepped forward and asked, "Do you know that you are scared at this time?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several gunshots not far away, startling rows of birds. Shen Qiangrose was startled, and suddenly fell into Su Huiyi's arms, he hugged her tightly, and the nearby guards had already surrounded her, but Gu Xuanqing's horse not far away was frightened, raising its front hooves and neighing, and it was uncontrollable as if it was crazy.

Su Hui saw that the garrison had already surrounded them, so he said to Shen Qiangrose: "Stand here and don't move!" ”

At this moment, more than a dozen attendant officers had already rushed over and hugged the horse's hind legs, and Gu Xuanqing sat on the horse, looking unhurried and calm. Su Huiyi walked over quickly, took out a matching gun, and shot it at the horse's belly, and the horse was shot at the vital point and fell down immediately. Pan Qingyan, the captain of the attendants, was quick and grabbed Gu Xuanqing so that he would not fall.

Shen Qiangrose originally looked thrilling, and she didn't want the guard next to her to be hit by a sudden bullet and fall in front of her. It was only a moment, and the guards also shot in unison towards the mountain, Su Huiyi quickly ran over, protecting Shen Qiangrose in front of him, and the gunshots in his ears were endless, Shen Qiangrose shrank in his arms, only to feel relieved and even more afraid. Thinking about this time, he had a cold attitude, as if he already knew that someone was going to assassinate him.

The person who dared to openly assassinate the envoy of the northern region in this way was obviously a Fusang agent. She thought that Su Huiyi was in charge of protection, and if something really went wrong, she was afraid that it would be as simple as provoking a war between the north and the south.

Su Huiyi quickly ordered to stop the strafing, and sent Gu Xuanqing down the mountain with a high degree of protection. It wasn't until she got into the bulletproof car that Shen Qiangrose was relieved, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Gu Xuanqing sitting opposite, but she was rarely calm, and she wanted to know the trend of the situation very well.

Su Huiyi didn't have any expression on his face, but politely explained the shooting incident of Shicai. Shen Qiangrose listened on the side, it turned out that Gu Xuanqing had been assassinated all the way, and both parties also felt that it was Fuso's spies stirring up the situation, in order to trigger internal struggles.

Shen Qiangrose saw that Su Huiyi's explanation of everything was quite subtle, but she didn't point it out. Gu Xuanqing was also suspicious of the assassination incident inside and outside of his words, which inevitably made people even more surprised. When he arrived at the Su family's villa in Daishan, Su Huiyi, as the main family, naturally wanted to do his best to be a landlord, so he sent the cooks in the house to go up the mountain and made a table full of famous dishes from the southern region.

Gu Xuanqing picked up the wine glass and said to Su Huiyi: "Xuanqing came to Jinling this time, thanks to the Seventh Brother's care, thank you here first." With that, he drank the red wine in his glass.

Su Huiyi also took a drink very happily, Shen Qiangrose knew that men's way of communication was like this, she sat quietly on the side to eat, and did not intervene.

Gu Xuanqing said politely: "This summer, I also invited the seventh brother and his sister-in-law to come to Beicheng, and also let me do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." ”

Shen Qiangrose had never been to the north, so she couldn't help but look at Su Huiyi, and he also happened to look over, smiled at her, and said, "This is natural, and it will inevitably disturb the second brother at that time." ”

The two of them chatted a few more words, but I don't know who brought the topic to the battle situation again, Gu Xuanqing said: "Originally, this matter should be sooner rather than later, but Fusang sent heavy troops to press the border, and this nail that is neither soft nor hard can not be touched now, but I am different from my father, but I think there is a trick to try." ”

Su Huiyi smiled calmly when he heard this, and said, "Please speak up to the second brother." ”

Gu Xuanqing glanced at Shen Qiang Rose and smiled apologetically. Shen Qiangrose knew that they had important matters to discuss, and she was inconvenient here, so she got up and went up to the second floor under the pretext. She was wearing slippers, walking on the carpet without making a sound, and when she reached the corner of the second floor, she heard Gu Xuanqing's deliberately low voice, intermittently, "You can repel Fusang...... The position of the seventh brother in the southern land is also more stable...... Do you want to sit with others? ”

When Shen Qiangrose heard this, she was vaguely uneasy, and thought about the current deadlock between the Su family brothers, I am afraid that it will be an endless result. She didn't dare to think deeply, and quickly stepped into the bedroom.

There have been maids who have cleaned up the room, because it is a large suite, and when you enter the door, there is a huge wide hall, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows on the whole side, and cotton and linen curtains are hung. There is a sandalwood burner in the bedroom, which is burning agarwood, and it smells very fresh and fragrant.

Shen Qiangrose thought that it was getting late today, and she would not go down the mountain to return to the Overseer's Mansion, so she put hot water on the bath. She was preoccupied, and she always felt that something was going to happen. She took a quiet bath for a while, and at this moment she felt that everything was rushing into her mind, and it flashed in a messy manner.

I don't know how long later, she got up and went out, and saw that the night was getting darker and deeper, and the floor-to-ceiling windows cast a trace of dark cyan light, like faded porcelain, shining with a faint halo.

She quickly fell asleep, and in a daze, she felt someone gently hugging her waist, she woke up and asked, "Is today's shooting really done by Fusang's people?" ”

Su Hui saw her wake up, so he stroked her sideburns, "You don't have to worry about this." ”

Shen Qiangrose was sleepy, thinking that now Gu Xuanqing was dealing with Su Huiyi on his face, but secretly the two of them were plotting something, originally she didn't understand these things, but when she thought about it at the moment, she smelled the smell of conspiracy, so she said: "I just think about these conspiracies all the time, I'm afraid you won't be able to prevent it...... In short, you should be careful about everything. ”

Shen Qiang Rose shrank into his arms, sleepiness hit her, and said softly: "The smell of wine, next time you drink so much, you are not allowed to go to my bed." ”

Su Huiyi laughed softly, "Got it, madam." ”

Early the next morning, Su Huiyi left, and after Shen Qiangrose had breakfast, she returned to the Overseer's Mansion. Because she didn't return overnight, Fang Yuyan began to sneer and sneer since she went back, but fortunately, quarrels between the two have long become commonplace. It wasn't until noon that Su Fangfei came to the courtyard of the main house, and as soon as she saw Shen Qiangrose, she said: "In this big year, I'm really idle, let's go to the west of the city to listen to the commentary!" ”

Shen Qiangrose was so entangled that she had to go with her. The streets were sparsely populated, but there was a bit of joy in the distant roar of artillery battles. This generation in the west of the city is quite lively, because of the proximity to the teahouse, the vendors on the corner of the street are selling food and snacks, Shen Qiangrose got out of the car, and saw the name of the teahouse, "Yayuan Tea House"

She thought about it for a moment, and then remembered the sound of criticism she had heard when she passed by here before. Su Fangfei had already wrapped her arm, "The young lady here has a good voice, you must like it." The two walked slowly inside, and saw that the hall was full, full of people, and the noise was very lively.

The guy led them up to the private room on the second floor, Shen Qiangrose sat down, swept up the platform, and saw a woman in crimson clothes holding a pipa, singing a song gracefully, and looking up, it was none other than Ruan Hongyu.
