Chapter 9: Out of Control
Gu Yan left the palace and did not return home, but went to the Gyeonggi camp first. The military law in the camp is strict, and Rao is Gu Yan can't go in directly.
"Shizi, without the general's warrant, the general will not be able to let you in." The guard was neither humble nor arrogant, and stopped Gu Yan out of the door without squinting.
Gu Yan smiled, secretly approving in his heart.
"Okay, then send someone in and report it."
The guard whispered a few words to another man, and the man hurried away, and not long before he returned. The man followed behind a burly man, with a respectful expression.
The big man was wearing armor, and his face was full of murderous aura, and when he walked on the road, he was full of coercion. The left hand has been pressed on the hilt of the sword, consciously or unconsciously, which is the instinct of those who have been marching for many years.
Gu Yan saw that this action was familiar, and thought for a moment before he realized that he had seen it on Qin Ran.
Gu Yan smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Brother Gu, why are you here?" The big man spoke with a lot of anger and smiled heartily at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan bowed his hand to him and said politely: "If you have nothing to do, let's come and see Brother Xie." I haven't seen you for a long time, but Brother Xie's demeanor is still the same. ”
That big man is the chief general of the Gyeonggi battalion, named Xie Shen. His brothers took Gu Yan and walked towards the camp.
Xie Shen asked as he walked, "But what happened in Beijing?" I know you, if you have nothing to do, how can you come to see me, a rough man who can only wield knives and guns. As he spoke, Xie Shen patted Gu Yan on the shoulder.
"Brother Xie laughed." Gu Yan smiled and said.
While speaking, the two had already arrived in the camp, Xie Shen waved his hand to let the rest of the people go out, and sat opposite Gu Yan.
Xie Shen poured a glass of wine for Gu Yan, and said a little embarrassed: "Brother Gu, there is no good wine in the army, so you should take care of it more." ”
Gu Yan picked up the wine and drank it all, "Where is it, Brother Xie's wine here is not something you can drink if you want to." However, "Gu Yan put down the cup, and the color was right, "A few days ago, the Marquis of Jianye's mansion caught a Uighur to make a fine work. ”
"What did you say?!" Xie Shen glared and exclaimed, "What happened in the end, the Great Qi and the Uighurs have only been in truce for a few years, so they can't bear it!" Uighurs, an inexhaustible bunch of wolf cubs! ”
The last sentence is the words that are squeezed out of the teeth, it is simply hateful.
"Later, Miss Qin sent the fine work to Dali Temple, and then executed it." Gu Yan poured another glass of wine for himself and Xie Shen and said.
Xie Shen drank another glass of wine and calmed down.
"Ran girl?" Xie Shen said with a smile, "This is indeed something that Ran Yatou can do, this child can also be said to have grown up since I was a child, when I was in Tianhe City before, it was very naughty, jumping up and down, I don't know how many times I was caught and trained by Hou Ye." ”
"This girl is bold and strong, but she is too simple." Xie Shen sighed, "What the Uighurs have done, she did the right thing, and the execution is not a surprise to the snake." In the Dali Temple, the water is deep, and it is a good thing that this matter is pressed down like this. ”
"What Brother Xie said is reasonable." Gu Yan bowed slightly, "It's just that I came this time to let Brother Xie secretly investigate if there is any movement on the Uighur side." Your Majesty has not been in power for a long time, and it is precisely when the Uighurs want to take advantage of the loopholes, and we must not allow them to take advantage of it. ”
"This matter is wrapped up in me, Brother Gu doesn't have to worry." Xie Shen said with a smile, and poured wine for Gu Yan.
Suddenly, Xie Shen changed his words and suddenly teased Gu Yanlai.
"Speaking of Ran girl, can Brother Gu get a headache from her?"
"Miss Qin has a good temperament, how to say that she has a headache." Gu Yan hooked the corners of his mouth and said slowly.
"Oh? I've only been in the capital for a few years, could it be that this girl has changed sex? I'm interested in what you said, but I have to find some time to take a look at this girl. Xie Shenqi said.
Gu Yan: "......"
When Gu Yan left, he had already drunk a lot of wine, and it was already dusk. The military discipline in the Gyeonggi camp is strict, and everyone is extremely serious.
Gu Yan walked out quickly, today he drank a little too much, and he was a little dizzy, but he still kept the Lingtai clear, said goodbye to Xie Shen, and left.
If someone notices it, they can see that Gu Yan's steady steps are slightly messy.
Gu Yan didn't sit in the carriage until he opened his mouth lightly and asked Feng Dao to his attendant.
"Go home."
"Yes, Shizi." Q Kaede replied.
Gu Yan closed his eyes, leaned on the inner wall of the carriage, frowned slightly, rubbed his temples slightly with his fingers, and quietly did not say a word.
His mind was full of the scene in the Imperial Garden during the day. He didn't know why, but he was depressed and uncomfortable.
Gu Yan has been calmly calculated all his life, living according to the track, and never willing to have even the slightest deviation.
Even if there was something unacceptable, he would not break the invisible mask on his face.
However, he was really out of control today.
"The Son of the World has arrived." The carriage drove steadily, and after an hour or so, it arrived at the Anguo Mansion.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time, and only then did Wen Feng hear a low voice from the carriage.
"Come in."
Wen Feng got into the carriage and helped Gu Yan out, and found Gu Yan leaning in the carriage tiredly, Wen Feng couldn't help but be startled, but he didn't show it on his face, but helped him into the room silently.
Gu Yan was already a lot more sober along the way, he sat in the room and motioned for Feng to go down.
"Go down." His voice was still the same as before, but with a more weak feeling.
Wen Feng nodded, didn't ask more, and went down to cover the door for Gu Yan.
Gu Yan sat on the chair and didn't move for a long time. His gaze was fixed on the void, ethereal. His eyes were misty, and he had no idea what was going on in his head.
The candle flame in the room was extinguished by Gu Yan with a flick of his sleeve, he didn't want to see the light now, he knew that he needed to calm down now.
The moonlight outside the window shines in, and the human eye can see the dust in the room, floating in the air.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand, as if to catch the ethereal dust scattered all over the room, but unfortunately, the dust is dust after all, and it can only be shrouded around you, but you can't touch it.
It's like, that ethereal love.
Gu Yan's hands were folded on the table, and he didn't move, like a sculpture, without moving.
He sat like this, as long as he felt like he was going to sit in a chair until dawn. At this time, Gu Yan finally had a slight reaction, his lips moved, and he slowly spit out two words.
"Qin Ran."
Gu Yan's voice was low but gentle, the galaxy outside the window was brilliant, and the bright moonlight was intertwined, and the distant heavenly river meandered away, merging into the boundless darkness.
