Chapter 61: Celebration

As soon as the first moon passed, the courtyard began to emerge green and tender little buds, the plum blossoms on the branches were yellow and bright, and Gu Yange was enjoying the flowers happily under the tree. [No pop-ups. The prince is still in Jialin, from some worries at the beginning to the current excitement, Gu Yange feels that this war has not only made Gu Cizhuang and Gu Chengyi grow, but also made the prince have the demeanor of the king of a country.

When they were enjoying the flowers, someone from the camp reported to the prince, saying that today was a celebration banquet, and specially invited the prince and Gu Yange to go to the barracks to celebrate, and the sergeants also wanted to meet the daughter of the legendary hero in their hearts. The prince laughed when he heard this, looked at Gu Yange and said, "Yan'er, these hot-blooded men in the army still ask me about you these days, asking you what you look like, what you like, whether you are a delicate girl or a heroine." They have completely transferred their worship of Uncle Wang to you, hurry up and dress up well, don't let them be disappointed in the legendary hero. ”

Gu Yange glanced at the prince with disgust, but he still turned around and went to change his clothes, the woman is the one who pleases herself, these people make her feel very happy, so why not dress up for them once. Gu Yange instructed Fu Shu to prepare clothes, and the girl in the general's palace waited for her head, Qiaofeng had a very simple head, a white jade tassel hairpin interlocked, hanging with deep turquoise, and a white jade pendant carved with moon flowers fell between her ears, and the small blue crystal beads on her forehead were shining faintly in the sun.

Gu Yange is used to not liking to dress up, and today he feels like a different person when he tosses it.

Fu Shu took a dress made of blue water streamer yarn, the blue water streamer yarn has a luster like water under the sun, and a light blue flying white seems to come out of the depths of the grassland after the snow. Gu Yange dressed up and glanced in the mirror, and said in his heart: It's really a good look, you can't see it when you don't dress up, and when you dress up, it's really graceful and luxurious, and you can't look at it directly.

When Gu Yange came out of the house, the prince was already waiting there, not wearing a bright yellow robe, but a soap coat. Yan Yange smiled, it seemed that she, the prince's brother, really understood: "Brother prince, let's go." ”

The prince looked back, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yan'er, I just realized today that you really don't like to dress up." ”

Gu Yange looked up and smiled: "Brother Prince, it's not early, don't make fun of me." ”

The prince thought about it sideways, without the memory of these two poems, Gu Yange was not a talented girl before, but he didn't think he had read it: "Yan'er is in a good mood today." ”

Gu Yange straightened the tassels on his sideburns and responded happily: "Well, I smell the free and unrestrained breath." ”

is more about seeing freedom, Gu Yange knows that this time when he returns to Beijing, he will be able to achieve what he wants, it is best not to even enter that mansion, and after enjoying his freedom at the border gate, he never wants to go back to that cage. Maybe I didn't think it before, but once it's released, I can't stand it anymore.

When Gu Yange arrived at the barracks, he was warmly welcomed by those hot-blooded men, and as soon as he got off the carriage, Gu Yange felt that he was held high in Yunrui. The soldiers all drew their swords and pointed at the sky, and even the prince had never seen such treatment. Gu Yange stood there flattered, stunned as he looked at those bright knives, silver into a sea in mid-air, and finally understood why the men loved the battlefield, such a majestic scene, how could they understand without experiencing it personally.

Xiao Yongye stood in the center and led the soldiers to bow down, "The ministers and the three armies will pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose, and the county lord Chitose." ”

In the three army formations, only Xiao Yongye stood alone, even Gu Cizhuang had already knelt on the ground, Xie Junrui knelt behind him and was indignant, while Jiang Xingyu knelt farther away, looking at Gu Yange who was standing in the center and accepting everyone's worship, and suddenly burst into tears. Jiang Xingyu finally understood one sentence, even if Gu Yange lost everything, and she still had the identity of the Heavenly Family to rely on, she was still the most honorable county lord in Zongzheng, and she didn't need to rely on anyone, it was enough to live a prosperous life in this world.

Jiang Xingyu looked back at herself, Xie Junrui said that she loved her every day, but he hadn't even gone for her, and when her identity was poked out, Xie Junrui didn't protect her, but interceded with Xiao Yongye vigorously, but didn't mention her at all, but Gu Cizhuang spoke for her three times and twice, compared to these two people in Jiang Xingyu's heart, it was really a heaven and an earth.

Gu Cizhuang spoke for her...... If Gu Cizhuang knew what Jiang Xingyu was thinking, he would probably have turned it over and said: Little girl, you think too much.

The prince shouted, and all the soldiers got up in unison to collect their swords and return them to their sheaths. Taiwu said a few more words, and then the celebration banquet began. It is said to be a celebration banquet, but in fact, it is just a meal of wine and meat. A fire was set up in front of the camp, and the soldiers sat in groups, each finding a suitable person, and drinking one sip at a time.

Gu Yange sat with the prince, Xiao Yongye, Gu Cizhuang, and Gu Chengyi, and none of them had the courage to sit next to the prince, so there were the least people here. However, Prince Ke's strength is infinite, and before he sat down for a long time, a general in the army came up with a jar to drink with Gu Yange. Gu Yange was also refreshed, and he saw the bottom of a big bowl of wine in three sips, looking at the general and laughing: "The county lord is worthy of being the daughter of the general king, and there is no ambiguity at all when he drinks wine." Thinking that Ding won the battle back then, the general Wang drank wine, it was really in the three armies, and there was no one who could win. ”

The soldiers next to them saw that the prince and Xiao Yongye didn't say anything, and Gu Yange also drank happily, so they ran over to drink with Gu Yange one by one. Gu Yange's amount of alcohol, that's really nothing to say, she usually doesn't drink at all, and when she drinks, there are really no two people who are her opponents. Of course, Gu Cizhuang replaced it with a small bowl later, and didn't let her drink it in a big bowl anymore, and the soldiers didn't mind, so they came with the jar. Fortunately, the young generals didn't have the courage to look at Xiao Yongye's cold eyes, and the generals stopped after drinking.

And the generals who drank with Gu Yange turned around and went to their own camp to preach. "The county lord really has the demeanor of the general king back then, if it is a man, he is guaranteed to be a general king."

"So many of us went to drink with the county lord, and the county lord didn't even blink his eyelids, and after drinking in a circle, his face was not red or drunk, it was really good." The quickest way to mingle with the military is through alcohol. Even Xiao Yongye couldn't help but be impressed when he saw Gu Yange drink it like this, although Xiao Yongye wanted to cut those who poured Gu Yange's wine!

After the celebration banquet dispersed, Xiao Yongye sent the prince and Gu Yange back to Jialin, and the soldiers in the camp had to carnival all night.

The prince was drunkenly helped back to the room by the guards, but Gu Yange was in good spirits, wine and freedom comforted her body and her heart! How can it not be good.

"Yan'er, do you have any plans after returning to Beijing?" Xiao Yongye asked casually, as if inadvertently.

Gu Yange held the honey water, thought about it and smiled: "Boating on the five lakes and indulging in the four seas...... In fact, it's not easy, the emperor's chess game is too big, and I still don't understand what the emperor wants. If it's Hotaru, I really don't know where it is, and if it's Jinzhouhou, my mission should be almost complete. ”

Xiao Yongye frowned, Xiao Yongye said that Xiao Yongye didn't know about the matter of fireflies at all, it would be a lie. It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor hadn't let go of this matter for so many years. Xiao Yongye will always remember Prince Ke saying: Fireflies can't fall into anyone's hands, especially the emperor, the emperor's ambition is too big, if the emperor gets the firefly, the Koke Banner will be destroyed. But the emperor didn't understand that the Kuoke Banner was the last line of defense in the northeast, and if there was no guard of the Kuoke Banner, the Anhu people would definitely come to attack with a large army, and the Jing Dynasty would definitely be defeated.

The process of fireflies disappearing, Xiao Yongye has witnessed it with his own eyes, and Prince Ke transferred a promising general to the Koke Banner to defend the border for one to two years, and he also hopes that they can understand the importance of the Koke Banner, Prince Ke hopes that the world is peaceful, as a soldier, Prince Ke's biggest dream in life is that one day, there is no war in the world, and all soldiers can go home.

But obviously, what the emperor wants is to completely eradicate the two major heart diseases of the Anhu people and the Huiyi people, and then the military and government are all in his hands, and there is no trouble inside and outside. The Emperor has been persistently looking for Hotaru, believing that Hotaru will allow him to fulfill this ambition in his lifetime. As an emperor, this may be correct, but from the standpoint of Prince Ke, the possibility of winning such a war is not great, and he can neither gamble with the foundation of the Jing Dynasty, nor can he fight with the soldiers who fought with him in bloody battles.

This...... It is an important cause of Prince Ke's tragedy.

Xiao Yongye pondered deeply, Gu Yange calmly drank water on the side, Xiao Yongye thought for a long time, and sighed: "Yan'er, Firefly no longer exists, one day the emperor will believe it, and one day the emperor will understand the hard work of the general king." ”

"It's been nine years since my father passed away, and the emperor still doesn't believe it, even if it is another nine years, the emperor won't believe it." Gu Yange just believes that the ambition of an emperor will not disappear easily. From a historical point of view, perhaps the emperor can be regarded as a good king, hoping to pacify the four seas, but from a realistic point of view, the world is chaotic and the people are suffering...... It's also a dilemma.

Gu Yange thought for a while and said with a smile: "Forget it, when you are so happy, don't talk about this, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”

Xiao Yongye smiled, looking at Gu Yange's cheerful appearance, he couldn't help but feel happy. Look up at the sky, you are about to return to Beijing, Yan'er, your freedom is not far away! And what kind of bureau is waiting in the capital may not matter. Naturally, someone will worry about such a big plot like the world, and all he has to worry about is the little woman in front of him.
