Chapter 102: Farewell to sorrow
After scattering the dynasty, the update is the fastest
The generals were all bright and majestic.
Tuoba Tao looked at the sixty years of the year. Even the old general Qilu, who had a gray beard, boasted:
"Old General Qilu, although he is old, this spiritual head is no worse than those young men!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Lu bowed and said, "Your Majesty is in good spirits, and he is even more heroic. ”
After a few polite words, Tuoba Tao directly talked about the military situation.
"The Flying Eagle General is young and resolute, vigorous and resolute, and it is most suitable for him to expel the Rouran thieves with the Hussar General." Tuoba Tao nodded.
After a pause, he asked Tuoba again: "Son, which general do you plan to send to the Qilu garrison?" ”
Tuoba looked at the generals and said:
"Grandpa Huang, the old general is steady, brave and good at fighting and experienced in a hundred battles.
Abu Khan is a man of great martial arts and loyalty.
The two of them, each leading 50,000 troops, were stationed in the land of Qilu.
The other generals are on standby in the capital camp for the time being. What does Grandpa Huang think? ”
“…… So good, that's it! Tuoba Tao nodded.
"The last general commands! ...... "The generals took the order and left.
After leaving the imperial study, Tuoba first returned to the prince's mansion to bid farewell to his mother.
Helan Mingyue was accompanying the crown princess to talk in the palace.
Helan Mingyue hadn't seen her cousin for many days, and when she saw Tuoba returning home, she happily greeted her.
"Your Royal Highness Cousin, you always see the beginning of the dragon but not the end, but I didn't expect to see His Royal Highness Cousin again today." Helan Mingyue said as she stepped forward and pulled Tuoba's arm.
But he was dodged by Tuoba.
Tuoba nodded slightly to her, and told the crown princess that she was leaving Pingcheng to fight in the Six Towns.
“…… What, to go to war again? The crown princess was shocked and worried, "And, son, how can you say that you can just leave?" ”
"Military orders are like mountains, and there is no time to delay. The Rouran thieves are now harassing the Six Towns, and they have to hurry up and sweep them up. Tuoba said a little anxiously.
"But, the mother hasn't prepared anything for her son?" The crown princess said.
After the crown princess finished speaking, she hurriedly asked her personal palace maid Cai Wei to prepare for Tuoba to eat.
"Cai Wei, hurry up and prepare some dried fruits, beef jerky and pastries for His Highness!"
"Yes, sis!" Cai Wei and the palace maid hurried away.
"Mother don't worry, Zhan Ying will prepare dry food for their son." Tuoba wants to go.
"Your Royal Highness cousin, how can the things prepared by Zhan Ying compare to those prepared by the crown princess and aunt, it is all the aunt's intention as a mother." Helan Mingyue said empathetically.
Stepped forward and grabbed Tuoba.
"Yue'er, don't make trouble, this king doesn't have the time to mess around with you!" Tuoba coldly pulled away Helan Mingyue's hand.
The crown princess saw that Helan Mingyue couldn't pull Tuoba anymore, so she also came up and pulled Tuoba tightly, not letting him leave so quickly.
Tuoba's footsteps finally stopped.
Helan Mingyue looked at Tuoba who was indifferent to her, disappointed and unrelenting.
The crown princess looked at her son and said with tears in her eyes:
"No matter how anxious you are, you won't be in a hurry for a while, if you don't let your mother prepare food for you, your mother won't let you go."
"Mother Concubine" Tuoba is difficult.
"The sword has no eyes on this battlefield, my son has shed his liver and gall for the Great Wei, all these years, his body is scarred, do you think the mother concubine doesn't know?
The injury is in the child's body, and the pain is in the mother's heart! No matter how much you are injured or wronged since you were a child, you have always broken your teeth and swallowed them in your stomach.
Do you know how distressed the mother is? How many tears were shed behind the scenes?
You deliberately hid it from your mother, and the concubine pretended not to know, but she didn't want to make you more sad, for fear that you would be worried on the battlefield.
Could it be that just some food is prepared, and it can't be delayed?
If the war is really so tight, please ask Your Majesty to send someone else, my son is the eldest grandson of the Emperor, and he was not born to do his best for Great Wei! ”
The crown princess cried sadly at the end, wiping her tears.
"Alright, alright."
Tuoba saw that his mother was so reluctant, so he had to wait for Aunt Caiwei to prepare a big bag of food for him.
Zhan Ying and Ling Yun carried them and left the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as he left the prince's mansion, he saw Li Shuang'er, who was dressed in red, also rode to the gate of the prince's mansion, and Tuoba and the guards did not look at him, and left on horseback.
Li Shuang'er, who was at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, had to be on horseback and watched Tuoba and his party leave in disappointment.
Tuoba asked Zhan Ying and the others to go back to the barracks to prepare first, but he went to the medical house to find Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng saw Zhan Ying and the general entering the palace in a hurry just now, and he didn't know what was going on, and he was waiting for the general worriedly.
Seeing the general coming on horseback in a hurry, he didn't care about the patient, left the patient, and met the general in the back room.
"Allure," Tuoba hugged Gu Tingcheng tightly and kissed her forehead, "I'm about to lead troops to the north to quell the chaos, and the most reassuring is you." ”
“…… You're going to lead your troops to war? Gu Qingcheng asked in astonishment.
"I'm a general, of course I have to lead the troops to fight." Tuoba whispered in her ear.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned suddenly.
"Did Great Wei take the initiative to fight, or was there an invasion of foreign enemies?" Gu Qingcheng asked in a low voice.
"It was the Rouran soldiers who invaded the six towns in the north, burning, killing and looting, and harassing the border people." Tuoba said solemnly.
"Rouran sent troops? Didn't Rou Ran sign a three-year agreement with our Great Wei to suspend the army? Gu Qingcheng wondered, "Why did they go back on their word?" ”
"It is estimated that it is the younger brother of the Rouran Datan Khan, Hu Lu Tuxiu, who wants to provoke trouble, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman." Tuoba snorted coldly.
"No matter who starts the war, it is the common people who suffer." Gu Qingcheng sighed.
"So this is that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, people are harmless and tigers, and tigers have the will to eat people!" Tuoba's face was cold.
"No matter how big or small the battle is, you have to be careful. Those who hunt you down will die. Who knows, the Assassins will not chase to the north. Gu Tingcheng said worriedly.
"My Allure is more and more concerned about me." Tuoba smiled, "Now you're really in love with General Ben, right?" ”
"You're about to go on an expedition, and you're not serious yet?"
Gu Tingcheng said this in his mouth, and he had already felt a sense of parting sorrow, which came to his heart.
"You just have a hard mouth, wait for General Ben's Pegasus to leave Pingcheng, don't cry your nose." Tuoba hugged her and smiled.
“…… Who cried nose. Gu Qingcheng sneered.
But when I thought of him leaving, my heart suddenly became soft and hugged him tightly.
After a pause, he asked softly: "It's less than a month before the birthday of the ancestor, how long will you go?" ”
She knew that she had fallen into the clutches of the devil and fell in love with him completely.
"We are light and simple, and in less than ten days, at most half a month, we will be able to expel the thieves. Before the birthday of the ancestor, he will definitely be able to rush back.
You wait for me, don't be abducted. ”
Tuoba kissed, this kiss, the two were inseparable.
The military situation could not be delayed for a moment, so he reluctantly left the hospital, rushed to the barracks, dispatched troops, and sent troops to the north.
Tuoba ordered someone to pass Zhonglang to bring Feng Xi over.
Tuoba ordered Zhanying to retreat everyone, and he had to withdraw from his tent a hundred steps away.
After Feng Xi saw the salute, Tuoba asked him to come forward and sit with him.
There was a brief conversation, and as for the content of the conversation, no one outside knew it.
I only knew that the general had a secret conversation with General Feng Zhonglang, and since then I also knew that Feng Zhonglang would become the general's confidant.
After they finished talking, Feng Xi wiped his tears.
"Okay, this is something to be happy about, and Zhonglang will never be bothered by the past again." Tuoba patted Feng Xi's shoulder and said.
“…… It's because I'm so happy that I can't help it. Feng Xi wiped his tears again.
"When the time is ripe, I will take you to see her and my aunt." Tuoba said gently.
Feng Xi arched his hand again and said sincerely:
"The kindness of the general cannot be repaid by his subordinates. After that, I would like to smear my liver and brain to repay the general's kindness. ”
"Now that we're about to go to the Six Towns in the north, you haven't really been on the battlefield yet, and now I'm going to give you a chance to show off your skills. Make good meritorious service and shine on the lintel! "Tuobadao.
"Subordinates obey!" Feng Xi arched his hand.
He thought for a moment, and then said:
"General, the centurion Hua Mulan, whom you personally promoted before, his subordinates taught him to ride and shoot and practice swords every day, and he made rapid progress.
However, like his subordinates, he has not yet experienced the battlefield, can you bring him with you? ”
"We are abandoning our baggage on this trip, and we only bring back ten days of dry food, and 10,000 light horsemen to drive away the enemy.
I'll give you a hundred light horsemen, form a small team, and attack with us! "Tuobadao.
"General Xie!" Feng Xi thanked Tuoba again, and then went to select elite soldiers.
In the afternoon, Gu Qingcheng returned to the palace in a daze, and summoned the palace people from various departments and bureaus to see their situation.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she went to the Wanshou Palace and played the piano for her ancestors.
Thinking of General Dian Da going out on the expedition and parting with him, she was depressed and couldn't wait to gallop with him.
The piano played in the heart of Wanshou Palace Lake is also particularly sad and excited, touching and heartfelt.
She melted her internal force into her fingers and played a piano song, but it was not "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud".
It turns out that even if other piano pieces are played with internal force, the same power is infinite.
The surface of the lake is rippling with blue waves, and the water column is rising thin.
The old ancestor listened to the sad and parting piano sound, remembered the past scenes, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
But she didn't let Mama Rong tell Gu Tingcheng that she was crying, so as not to blame Xiao Chengcheng.
After Tuoba Tao dealt with the troublesome state affairs, his light horse should already be on the way.
In the imperial garden outside the imperial study, he paced slowly.
When I am so tired and tired, I really want to listen to Gu Yatou's piano music to relieve fatigue.
When people are waiting, they will be very anxious.
Obviously, Gu Qingcheng's morning time to play the piano on weekdays has not yet arrived, but he feels that he has been waiting for a long time.
Just as he began to wait impatiently and became more upset, the sound of the piano came from the Wanshou Palace.
Tuoba Tao Xizizi said to the sect love around him:
"It's coming, it's coming, Gu Yatou is finally playing the piano again."
Tuoba Tao couldn't help but look forward to it even more, and listened intoxicated for a while.
A sense of melancholy came to my heart, and I said to myself with a lonely face:
"This is 'The Beard Song.'"
Tuoba Tao paced while reveling in the sound of the piano.
"Cai Nu used to make the sound of Hu Ji, one flick and eight beats out of ten, the Hu people wept and stained the grass, and the Han envoy broke his intestines and returned to the guests." Tuoba Tao groaned.
After listening for a while, he seemed to frown slightly:
"The melody is poignant and mournful, penetrating people's hearts, high is sad and sad, and low is deep and mournful."
After playing the song, Tuoba Tao was even more haunted by the former beauty and never forgot it.
"This piano sound is euphemistic and sad, tearing the liver and intestines, full of parting feelings, and the pain of separation." Tuoba Tao looked at Wanshou Palace and said to himself: "This girl of the Gu family, what does she have on her mind?" ”
The old ancestor and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi enjoyed the piano together, listening to the rhyme of Gu Qingcheng's farewell.
From Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's mouth, the ancestor knew that Gu Tingcheng had opened a medical clinic outside, and now he had to go to the medical clinic to provide free treatment for patients, prepare for her birthday banquet, and come to play the piano for her, which was very distressing.
After Gu Tingcheng finished playing the piano, the ancestor left Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Gu Tingcheng to have dinner in Wanshou Palace.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Gu Tingcheng did not shirk, now as long as they can spare time, they will accompany their ancestors more.
The old ancestor said with pity while putting vegetables in Gu Qingcheng's bowl:
"Xiao Chengcheng, you opened a medical house outside to help the world, and the ancestors knew about it.
The little allure of the mourning family is really a good boy.
If you have time in the future, you will come over to accompany your ancestors, and if you are not free, you don't have to rush back. ”
"Ancestor, rest assured, Allure will try to arrange the time as much as possible." Gu Chengcheng said, "Allure has not been accompanied by his ancestors since he was a child, and now he can accompany his ancestors every day, and Allure is very happy." ”
"Okay, good, it's really the little of the ancestors." The ancestors loved the Tao.
"Looking at Xiao Chengcheng's body, he must have been tired recently." The old ancestor said distressedly.
"No, there's no blood on this face." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said, "It's distressing to look at." ”
"Mama Rong." The old ancestor suddenly shouted to her close maid.
"Ancestor, what's wrong?" Mama Rong stood next to the old ancestor and asked.
The ancestor instructed her:
"You go pick two smart and diligent girls and give them to Xiao Chengcheng.
Tell them that Miss Gu will be their master in the future, and she must swear allegiance to the death.
No matter where Miss Gu lives or what she does, she must be with her, if she doesn't serve well, the ancestors are the only ones who ask! ”
"No." Mama Rong smiled and wanted to turn away.
“…… Mama Rong. Gu Tingcheng called Mama Rong.
Then he looked at the old ancestor and said:
"Ancestor, Allure saved several female slaves a few days ago, and they are now helping in my medical center."
"Slave girl?" The old ancestor frowned slightly, and listened to Gu Chengcheng.
Gu Tingcheng nodded and continued:
"Well, there are two girls among them, who know some martial arts, and are very caring, if the ancestors allow them, let them follow the Allure to the city, and they can also follow the Allure in and out of the palace. Allure is already grateful. ”
"Who are they?" The old ancestor asked worriedly.
Gu Qingcheng came to Pingcheng on the road, and the king of Dongping told his ancestor about the torture and killing of female slaves in the hunting field.
"I didn't expect King Dongping, as a prince and the pride of the sky, to be so brutal and unkind!" The old ancestor was furious, and put down his chopsticks vigorously, "It's just a loss of face for the Tuoba royal family!" ”
The old ancestor was so angry that he couldn't eat, so Mama Rong helped her sit on the side.
And Gu Tingcheng and they are already full.
“…… Ancestor. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi looked at the old ancestor, and then at Gu Qingcheng, and stopped talking.
"Feng Zuo Zhaoyi has something to say, so you might as well say it directly." The old ancestor said, the anger just now has not disappeared.
"In fact, Allure is in the palace, and when I met the king of Dongping a few times, he was teased by him, and he was almost caught back to the palace of Dongping." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said worriedly.
"It is simply presumptuous to dare to kidnap people in the palace!" The old ancestor's dragon head crutch slammed the ground fiercely.
Gu Tingcheng was afraid that the matter would be big, so he said: "The old ancestor is angry, King Dongping has not succeeded after all, and this matter is over." ”
"Little Allure City, don't worry, there are ancestors in the palace. Mourning family, see who dares to touch a hair of yours. The old ancestor said with relief.
Looking at Gu Qingcheng, who was unrelenting, she said fondly:
"You don't have to worry about this matter, the mourning family will naturally send down that lawless man."
"Thank you, Ancestor, for maintaining it." Gu Tingcheng Road.
"Little Allure, you take those two girls to the ancestors tomorrow to see if they are really good at martial arts and caring, if they are really clever girls, that's it." The old ancestor said again.
"Okay, Ancestor." Gu Tingcheng nodded.
The old ancestor continued:
"If it is your duty to protect you, let them stay with you.
If it's an ignorant girl, the ancestor will give you two more intimate ones! ”
"No, Ancestor." Gu Qingcheng promised.
After a while, after taking a sip of tea, the ancestor's anger towards Tuoba Han gradually subsided, and she said with a hint of worry:
"Hey, I heard that Rouran violated the realm, and today I went to the stars and nights and sent troops to six towns.
I don't know where I'm now, it's night, maybe I'm still on my way? ”
"Old Ancestor, this King of Gaoyang has only been able to walk for half a day, how can he reach the Six Towns so quickly." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi smiled slightly.
"After all, the battlefield is a sword without eyes, even if it is a first-class flying eagle general who commands the three armies.
But he has always taken the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Mourning family, this is still worrying! The old ancestor thumped his chest with concern.
"King Gaoyang is the god of war of our Great Wei, every time he leads his troops to fight, he is invincible and invincible, and the ancestors can rest assured." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi gently persuaded again.
"You, you can talk and coax the mourners." The old ancestor smiled.
After a moment's pause, the old ancestor said again:
"You're right, it's the mourners who are too worried. He is brave and good at fighting, and he is the god of war of Great Wei. Before he arrived in the six towns, he believed that the thieves had fled when they heard the news. ”
The old ancestor thought of Tuoba's might, and smiled happily again.
Gu Qingcheng fell into confused thoughts at the moment.
The old ancestor looked at Gu Qingcheng again, and said lovingly:
"Look at my cute little Allure, only the Flying Eagle General of Great Wei can match Xiaouping."
“…… Child? Gu Qingcheng looked at the old ancestor and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi in astonishment, "General Flying Eagle? ”
