Chapter VI
The war between the Yong Dynasty and the Qiu Qiong tribe has been going on for five years.
In the first three years of the war, the Yong Dynasty border army was weak, and was defeated and retreated by the Qiongqiong, and the border passes from northwest to northeast for thousands of miles were battlefields, and eleven cities were lost, and the capital was in danger!
At the critical moment two years ago, the Xiling Army bypassed the main battlefield and trekked through the Chaha no man's land, like a sharp sword smashing the Qiqiong Royal Court, killing the four princes of Qiuqiong who stayed in the royal court in one fell swoop, and burning the capital, slaughtering all the officers and soldiers defending the city.
The history is known as the great victory of Chaha.
In the past two years, under the leadership of the protruding Xiling Army, the Yong Dynasty has recovered ten cities, and only the northwesternmost Guangming Pass is still in the hands of Qiu Qiong.
Gu Nanye started his career in the Xiling Army, was promoted ten times in two years, and became the youngest commander of the four major border armies of the Yong Dynasty.
A month ago, Gu Nanye led the Xiling army to Guangming Pass.
The hundred officials of the Yong Dynasty were looking forward to it, thinking that he would get the eleventh great victory, successfully regain the Guangming Pass, and recover all the territory of the Yong Dynasty.
But he did not move, no matter how many orders the emperor sent urging him to fight quickly, he did not make any response.
For a time, the DPRK and China were full of criticism.
Some people impeached Gu Nanye for supporting the army and respecting himself and despising the royal power.
Some people impeached Gu Nanye for being proud of his achievements and wanting to get more rewards before ending the war.
There are also people who impeach Gu Nanye for colluding with the enemy army, and it must be because he was bribed by Qiu Qiong that he was unwilling to kill them all.
Emperor Yong looked at the impeachment chapter like a snowflake, and was a little flustered.
There was no one available in the army, only Gu Nanye.
Before completely defeating Qiu Qiong, he could only make a pacification strategy, and then issued an edict to entitle Gu Nanye as the Marquis of Xiling.
Gu Nanye accepted the edict and proposed to return to Beijing to thank the emperor, a move that made the officials puzzled.
The generals under Gu Nanye's command admonished him to death and persuaded him not to return to Beijing.
Those who have heavy soldiers, the most taboo to enter Beijing alone, without the army, the emperor is a reward or a punishment, all by the emperor's heart.
What's more, how can he be in the front line at this time? Wouldn't it give Qiu Qiong a chance to fight back?
But what Gu Nanye decided, no one could dissuade him, he only took fifty personal guards and left the Xiling Army camp.
In the capital, Emperor Yong was uneasy, worried that Gu Nanye would come back with his troops to rebel, and then looked forward to taking advantage of this opportunity to cut Gu Nanye's military power.
He sent countless scouts to inquire about Gu Nanye's itinerary, but the scouts reported that General Gu was ill and recuperated in Tianjian City, and he was unable to enter Beijing for a while.
Gu Nanye, who was supposed to be recuperating in Tianjian City, was in the small courtyard next to the Xiaoleiyin Temple outside Jinling City at the moment.
Today, April 15, Mrs. Gu ordered someone to make refreshments, and in the evening, a moon-watching banquet was set up in the flower garden in the small courtyard, to enjoy the moon and watch the stars with her son and Qu Muge.
"Xiao Xuan'er, you see that star is Taixuan, your life star."
Since Qu Muge changed her name to Ye Taixuan, Mrs. Gu likes to call her Xiao Xuan'er, and began to teach her to read astronomical calendar books.
The longer she got along with Mrs. Gu, the more Qu Muge admired Mrs. Gu, as an ancient woman, she knew astronomy and geography, and she was really a talented woman!
She respects her wife like a teacher in her heart, and learns ancient knowledge from her very seriously.
Gu Nanye watched his mother talk happily with Ye Taixuan, and felt a rare sense of tranquility in his heart, in this life, he must protect his mother's safety and simple happiness.
Qu Muge saw that Gu Nanye's expression was rare and warm, so he took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea.
She had a peace charm in her arms, which was a heart sutra that she copied herself, and she also went to ask the flawless Zen master of Xiaoleiyin Temple to consecrate the peace charm.
This small gift is naturally small compared to Mrs. Gu's act of building a temple for her son to accumulate merit, but she has no money and no ability now, so she can only thank Gu Nanye for her rescue in this way.
"General Gu," probably Gu Nanye almost strangled her to death when they met for the first time, Qu Muge couldn't say why, she was afraid of Gu Nanye, she shouted quietly, took out a peace charm and said: "Listen to Madame, you will go back to the battlefield in a few days, this is the peace charm I made, I hope it can keep you safe, and thank you and Madam for saving me." ”
Gu Nanye glanced at the red bag in the little girl's hand, and saw that it was bought in the Buddhist temple, and it was not made by himself.
What's more, he has come out of the pile of dead people countless times, and he doesn't think this thing can keep him safe.
Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Qu Muge felt very embarrassed, so he had to find himself under the stairs: "I, I won't be a female celebrity, and I can't make a decent thank you gift." Otherwise, or I'd better wait for me to learn female red in the future, and make one for you myself. ”
The man's hand speed was very fast, and before Qu Muge could see it clearly, the peace charm was taken away by him.
"I got it." Gu Nanye didn't look at her, and said lightly,
Qu Muge breathed a sigh of relief, she finally sent the things out, and the peace charm had been in her hand for a few days, but she always didn't dare to talk to Gu Nanye.
Mrs. Gu couldn't help but smile on the side, afraid that Qu Muge would be thin-skinned, so she didn't take advantage of this to make fun of her, but just praised: "Xiao Xuan'er is really sensible, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the peace charm will definitely protect Ono safe and sound." ”
Although Gu Nanye didn't speak much, the atmosphere in the small courtyard was also happy.
Mrs. Gu was happy, so she said that she would take Qu Muge into the city to play tomorrow.
The next day, Mrs. Gu, Qu Muge, and Xin's mother entered the city in a carriage, accompanied by Liu Jing.
Although Mrs. Gu moved to live in the mountains, she was very familiar with Jinling City, and the shopkeepers of major shops also recognized her.
She first went to the clothing village to buy clothes for Qu Muge, and then took her to buy jewelry, and when she was tired of shopping at noon, she went to Qi Fangge for dinner.
After sitting down in the private room, the owner of Qi Fangge personally came over to greet Mrs. Gu.
The proprietor said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu is really a rare guest, and she hasn't been to the shop for a long time. If you want to come, you should say it early, but unfortunately the chef in the store is resting today and can't make your favorite goose fat pastry, please forgive me. ”
Mrs. Gu smiled: "It's okay, it's just a light meal, and I'm a vegetarian now, so I can't eat oily." You pick up a few refreshing vegetarian dishes and make some delicious snacks for me, a little girl. ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it!"
Qu Muge only felt Mrs. Gu's card when she entered the city today, and the owners of various stores knew her and received her in person, which is the reception specification only for the distinguished guests on the top floor.
Waiting for the food, Mrs. Gu taught Qu Muge to distinguish tea, and the two were tasting tea, when the door was suddenly rudely pushed open.
A very beautiful woman stood in front of the door, followed by four maids.
The five mermaids rushed in, and the woman sat down directly at the table very unceremoniously.
