Chapter 6
During the Western Jin Dynasty, a part of Donghai County was separated and Lanling County was set up, and the seat of the county was Cheng County, that is, the modern Yicheng Town of Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province.
In his previous life, due to work, Gu Huan once came here to inspect the Baoqinggu National Forest Park. Now, she has returned to the era of a thousand years ago, and she only feels that the air is purer, the mountains are greener, the water is more beautiful, and the scenery is more beautiful, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Looking at the city wall of Chengxian County from afar, Gu Huan smiled happily.
This is located in the hinterland of the Qi country, has always been peaceful and tranquil, the people are simple, the economy is rich, Gao Su is sealed here, it is enough to show how brilliant his past military exploits are.
Gu Huan's personal maid is called Qiuyan, and the little maid Chunxi is only seventeen years old, they are fellow villagers, and they were sold into the Gu Mansion at the same time when they were six years old, specializing in serving Miss Gu's family, and it has been ten years now. After Gu Huan woke up from his stupid state, he was very kind to them, never put on a master's shelf, they also liked this young lady very much, and they always took care of her, and they admired her for daring to go to the battlefield and making many achievements.
At this time, I saw that the young lady immediately went up the slope, looking at Chengxian under the spring sun, and thought that she was worried about the future future, so she hurried to comfort her.
Qiu Yan got out of the carriage, looked up at Gu Huan, and said gently, "Miss...... No, General Xiao Gu, I heard that the king of the county is very beautiful, and he is a good person, so he shouldn't make it difficult for you. β
Chunxi also nodded vigorously: "Yes, I also heard that the prince of Lanling treats his subordinates very well, that is, there is a melon and a fruit, and he will share it with his soldiers. β
Gu Huan knew that they were wrong, but he didn't correct it, he just lowered his head and smiled: "I know, I'm not worried, don't worry about it, hurry up and get in the car, we're going to enter the city." β
Qiu Yan agreed, and then got back into the carriage, and Chunxi then sat on the wheel.
Gu Huan urged his beloved horse "Lightning" and trotted into the Chengxian city gate. When the soldiers defending the city saw that it was a general of the fifth grade, they immediately stood upright. Gu Huan inquired about the location of the county king's mansion from them, and then rode straight over.
The city is very prosperous, merchants gather, the road is full of pedestrians, and the clothes on the body look good. The soft wind blows from the water, with light catkins and poplars, making the spring color of the city picturesque. As far as the eye can see, everyone is smiling.
Gu Huan was afraid that he and the horse team of the soldiers behind him would collide and hurt people, so he slowed down his pace, pressed the bridle, and looked all the way, feeling very happy in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This place is indeed much better than the foot of the Great Wall and the border fortress.
From time to time, the captain of her own soldiers stopped and asked the passers-by next to her about the location of the palace. The people of the city seemed to be proud of this prince of the county, and would kindly show them the way, and some would even enthusiastically lead them out of a long distance, and then give them a detailed explanation of the way forward.
Gu Huan smiled, listening to the pride of these ordinary people praising their princes. They told the heroic deeds of the prince of the county, some of which are close to myths and legends, especially when he only led 500 horsemen, he broke into the encirclement of tens of thousands of Zhou troops, and reached the foot of Kim Yong City.
More than a dozen of Gu Huan's own soldiers had participated in this battle, and they couldn't help but look at Gu Huan when they heard the words, as if they were a little dissatisfied with the fact that her bravery was not mentioned in these accounts at all. Gu Huan shook his head slightly open-mindedly, signaling that it didn't matter, let alone mentioning it. Those pro-soldiers knew her character very well, so they kept silent, and then thought about it, after all, it was the prince over there, and he was the emperor's nephew, although Gu Huan was the queen of the gate, his identity was not as noble as his, so what to fight with others. Thinking so, they don't think much about it.
The palace occupies a wide area, carved beams and painted buildings, showing the atmosphere of wealth and nobility, as soon as they turned into the alley, they saw the tall lintel and a long courtyard wall made of green bricks.
Gu Huan walked to the gate, turned over and dismounted, and motioned to the captain of the personal soldiers to go up and hand over the name post, asking the prince to receive him.
The two people seemed to have been taken care of, as soon as they saw that the name card said "Gu Huan, the general of Dingyuan", they greeted each other with a smile, very polite, one warmly welcomed them into the door, and one had rushed in to report.
In less than a moment, Gao Su personally greeted him.
As soon as he came out of the main hall of the meeting, he saw Gu Huan. She is dressed in a military uniform, but she can't hide her slender figure, and she is still full of a bit of naΓ―ve childishness when she is heroic, which makes people feel good at first sight. She stood there, leisurely looking at the scenery in the wall, quite a general.
He hurried over and said with a smile: "General Gu, you came so fast. I thought, you're going to have to get here the day after tomorrow, but you're here today. β
Gu Huan clenched his fists and bowed, and said respectfully: "The last general has seen the prince." β
Gao Su walked up to her, raised his hand to support her arm, and said affectionately: "No need to be polite, General Gu has traveled thousands of miles, all the way hard, go first to rest, have a cup of tea, and then talk slowly." β
"The last will obey." Gu Huan replied meticulously according to the rules.
"I don't have that much etiquette here." Gao Su smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "Brother, we have a friendship of fighting side by side on the battlefield, and you are the righteous daughter of Lord Duan, then we are a family, although we are superiors and subordinates in the army, we don't have to abide by those rules in my house, it's better to be casual."
"Yes." Gu Huan's big bright eyes blinked, then put down his posture and said with a smile. "Then I'll be respectful and obey."
Gao Su walked inside with her and asked with concern, "How is Lord Duan's health?" Not long after Ling Zun got married, you were transferred to me, he wasn't unhappy, right? β
"Nope." Gu Huan knew the meaning of the string song when he heard it, and immediately explained. "The transfer is common, there is a neighbor to the Turks, the soldiers are in danger, my father-in-law is a little worried, my father also thinks that I am too young, I am a general, it is inevitable that I am not worthy of the name, the prince is one of the best generals in my family, I can learn one or two from the prince, it is also a blessing, so, they all approve of my transfer."
"That's good." Gao Su nodded, humbly. "If you want to talk about the martial arts of going into battle to kill the enemy, you have done your best to pass on the true inheritance, and I can't teach you anything, let's learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths. As for the art of war, your stepfather is the best, and I'm trying to learn from him. I heard Master Duan say that you are very smart, and you have learned a lot from him in the past few years in the army. If you come here this time, you can stay here with me to counsel military affairs first, and you don't need to bring troops for the time being. β
"Okay." When Gu Huan heard this, he was in his arms, so he took out Duan Shao's letter from his arms and said with a smile. "That's what my father-in-law wants."
"Really?" Gao Su was a little surprised, stretched out his hand to take the letter, opened it and looked at it, and said happily. "Lord Duan's meaning is the same as my thoughts, I think it's so decided."
"Okay." Gu Huan nodded, with a smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Gao Su liked her carefree smile very much, but he remembered that she had come from afar, and she was young, and he was afraid that she would work too hard, so he called the chief manager and ordered: "Take General Gu to rest." β
After walking such a long way, and finally facing the beautiful general Wang Ye of his choice, Gu Huan felt that it was completely necessary to take a bath and change clothes, and take a nap for a while, so that he could show his best state in front of him. Therefore, she did not refuse Gao Su's proposal, hugged his fist, and followed the manager.
