Gu Congyuan politely rejected Lord Yin's wish to defend the city, and discussed the matter of defending the city with a group of soldiers patrolling, and he found that the organization of these Rouran people was very loose.

Some of them were looted directly according to the orders of their khans on a large scale, and the finances were divided among the royal family, and under this model, the soldiers of Rouran could only get a handful of oil and water, so they gradually slipped out some miscellaneous soldiers, walking in pairs of threes and twos, relying on the helplessness of the people, and openly robbing with arrogance.

After Gu Congyuan heard this, he slowly narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "...... A bunch of crumbs. ”

The cold wind blew Lu Yao's ears red, and he almost had a snot across the river: "Hey, it seems that those unlucky eggs just now sneaked out." ”

The crown prince and the city lord of Yin had long since retreated into the outpost to take shelter from the wind, and their reputation was "to discuss countermeasures together".

Therefore, those who came out to accompany him, except for the strong men who were not afraid of the cold, there was only one thin Lu Yao.

Gu Congyuan secretly scolded the prince in his heart for being a straw bag who couldn't support the wall, but on the surface, he couldn't help but show a little joy.

His only purpose was to help the Shadow Pavilion Master, that is, his "father", to win this prosperous country, and when the prince became more and more incompetent, the happier he became, and the more he could be at ease and superior.

But at the same time, Gu Congyuan had to hold on to this mountain and river for the time being, people could all fall apart and be in the wilderness, but this mighty river and mountain could not be destroyed.

The night scene of Qingyuan small city is very different from the capital, the capital is full of lights for ten miles, always lively and bright, and once it is night, it is dim and only boundless darkness is left, only the sentry of ten steps and a post is all the light of the stars.

It seems indescribably desolate and deep.

Just when Lu Yao felt that the roots of his ears were numb by the wind, he suddenly felt a force that could bring her into his arms, and then the warm breath belonging to that person wrapped himself tightly, and the man gently draped the fox fur on her, and bent his eyes at the moment when people were stunned.

A deep voice came from his head, and Lu Yao listened to it: "What does Madam think about this?" ”

"I ......" Lu Yaoyi stammered, in addition to Gu Congyuan's handsome face that was close at hand, it was the red lantern next to him, and his mind twitched, "You, look at this lantern, it's big and round......"

The donkey's lips did not answer the horse's mouth, and the little sentry standing guard next to him laughed.

Lu Yao reluctantly picked up the dignity that belonged to the guest of the Cong Palace, and pretended to be serious: "That, just a few Rouran people, there is no system at all, presumably it can't set off any waves, most of them belong to robbing while the fire is burning...... It's just that I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Cong to come in person. ”

"They can wander to the outpost of Qingyuan City with such fanfare, presumably this kind of thing is not uncommon, and the top priority is to let them know first, as soon as King Cong arrives, they should quickly pack up their bedding and get out." She thought for a moment and smiled, "But those three arrows you had in the afternoon must have had this effect." ”

Gu Cong saw that the tip of his nose and ears were so red that he was so distressed and amused: "...... It seems that you still have the potential to be a military advisor. ”

He has always been rigorous in this regard, and he rarely agrees with this, and bows his head lightly in appreciation, with a little smile in his eyes.

"That's nature!" Lu Yao was recognized by the god of war, and immediately fluttered under his feet, trotting to keep up

The footsteps of people, "I have unlimited potential, okay?" You can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, and you are also very good at doing business and getting rich! You might as well consider making me your advisor? ”

Gu Congyuan glanced at the person, and she shrank back stupidly: "...... Well, His Royal Highness King Cong is omnipotent, and it seems that I don't need to be a reserve military division. ”

"The reserve military division really doesn't need it, but ......" he suddenly leaned closer, and his words were a little ambiguous and vague, "The person next to the pillow lacks you." ”

His Royal Highness said that "the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked" today, and he immediately gave everyone a demonstration, and the soldiers standing guard next to him were so red that they were afraid that one would accidentally laugh.

Her face was hot, and she hurriedly covered the man's mouth in a panic: "Shhhhh ”

The man thought he was whispering, but he didn't know that he was heard clearly by others, and Lu Yao was now a little suspicious of this brother's hearing......

The Yin Mansion had prepared a steaming meal early, and the city lord's wife was waiting for everyone to come back at the gate with a smile.

As soon as the nobles in the capital came, they couldn't help but let go of their hearts, and they couldn't wait to serve these ancestors quickly!

So without waiting for Lu Yao to get off the carriage, the house was busy with activity.

It wasn't until Lu Yao sat at the table full of food that the ears that were numb from the cold gradually recovered.

The cuisine in the north is very different from that in the capital, in order to entertain a few people, Lord Yin can be said to have forced the chefs in the mansion to exhaust what he has learned all his life, even if it is wild vegetables, he has forced people to make the appearance of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

However, the prince and the king Cong, who are accustomed to eating delicious and beautiful food, only need to glance at it and know what is going on.

Lu Yao said in a low voice: "Lord Yin didn't set up a banquet with great fanfare, presumably he said before that he was about to be unable to open the pot, and it may not be a lie......

Gu Congyuan bowed his head and said: "Yes, even if he is a little cowardly, at least he is not a dog official like Zhang Yue who deducts oil and water from the people to commit crimes. ”

The two of them bit their ears back and forth during the banquet, and their ears and temples looked like a pair of beautiful people, but Lord Yin poured three or two cups of wine into it, and he couldn't help but pull Gu Congyuan to gossip.

From his first love when he was a teenager, whispering to the city lord's wife sitting next to him now.

Fortunately, this person is still a little sober, and he only dares to talk back and forth with a few distinguished guests about his own, and he doesn't dare to attack them easily.

After three rounds of drinking, seeing that there were not enough small dishes on the table, Lord Yin was stunned: "What's the matter?" He spoke with a big tongue, "Where did the food go?" ”

"Ouch! The crown prince and His Royal Highness King Cong are here, you are not ashamed of what you are yelling about! Mrs. Yin slapped the man with her handkerchief in disgust.

Fortunately, the few people who came from afar were more approachable, and they didn't blame anything for this, and said with a smile that it didn't hurt.

Lord Yin's face flushed as soon as he drank, and his thin and withered body seemed to contain a thousand powers, and he raised his voice: "No matter! It doesn't matter what he eats, he has wine today and is drunk today! Come on, bring me all the food for tomorrow! ”

Lu Yao said softly: "...... In fact, you don't need to serve so many dishes. ”

The people of the Yin family also need to eat, no matter how frugal the master is, but

They are simple and kind-hearted, and after all, they are embarrassed to deduct the food of their subordinates......

In this way, it is always necessary to plan for tomorrow.

Lu Yao finally believed what Gu Congyuan said this time, this Lord Yin and Zhang Yue really have an essential difference.

"Dad, I heard you shouting from afar!" A crisp voice like a yellow oriole came, "The dishes are all cooked in the dining room, you are always urging!" ”

Seeing someone coming, Lord Yin, who was playing drunk, also died down, and said with a smile: "This girl ......"

The few people sitting there had seen this kind of expression, and the smiles at the corners of their eyes and eyebrows revealed the old father's amiability.

The last time I saw this was when Gu Ji in the palace saw the lively and lovely Gu Yunyue.

Lu Yao saw the person clearly, dressed in an emerald green smoky gown, like a majestic mountain and river rampant between the skirts of his daughter's house, and several white cranes loomed on it, so elegantly dressed.

The woman looked about the same age as Lu Yao, with the pride and flutter of a northern girl between her eyebrows, and her long ink-colored hair danced slightly between her eyebrows.

The prince couldn't help but admire: "...... The girl of the Yin family is so dignified and lovely, to have such a daughter, presumably Lord Yin will laugh in her dreams. ”

Lord Yin is obviously also proud of his daughter, laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has raised love, and he has really raised his love!" It's just a wild girl who has followed the subordinate to the women's wall since she was a child, and she is very disobedient! ”

"Dad, in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Cong, do you just say that about your daughter?" Miss Yin said delicately, "If you say that, I don't follow it." ”

Mrs. Yin hurriedly beckoned to the people and said, "Huilan, don't talk to your father about this, hurry up and come over to greet the distinguished guests." ”

At first glance, this girl is as fierce as fire, more domineering than Hongluan, there is no ordinary person in this banquet, but she is not timid, and she salutes generously: "Little girl Yin Huilan, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When she looked at Gu Congyuan, a subtle flush appeared on her face, and she said shyly: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Cong......"

Lu Yao is also a woman, and she is very keenly aware of the shyness that flashed on her face.

Yin Huilan obviously noticed her too, and she didn't know what to call her, Gu Congyuan sat there calmly, saw something wrong, and was about to speak, when she saw Lu Yao chuckling.

"Cong Wangfu Keqing, Lu Yao." Her pink lips lifted slightly.

Yin Huilan was obviously relieved, seeing that Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao were sitting so close, she originally thought that the two of them were ......

She smiled: "It turned out to be the guest in the mansion of His Royal Highness King Cong, who was really negligent, and asked Miss Lu to forgive her sins." ”

"It doesn't matter." Lu Yao smiled generously.

The prince has never been a lustful person, and when it can be seen that Yin Huilan can't help but sigh at this heroic but decent girl, her eyes linger on people for a long time.

However, Yin Huilan's eyes were on Gu Congyuan from beginning to end, with some of her daughter's shyness, wanting to see the handsome prince, but she didn't dare to look at it for a long time.

This ambiguous appearance, anyone can see what her intentions are.

At this moment, Yin Huilan suddenly stepped forward boldly and said, "I'm going to pour a bar for a few people?" ”
