Chapter 46: Side Dishes

It wasn't until two days later that Yun Yanzheng stood in front of the Nine Heavens Cavalry Battalion. He was still dressed in white, smiling lightly, standing on the arena and watching them. That kind of leisurely and complacent bearing has not been deprived of half of its demeanor because of the uniform cold soldiers in the sun; Nor did he show the slightest weakness because of the enthusiastic shouts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the school field.

It seems that no matter what kind of person stands in front of him, he can still be the same.

He still didn't say a word about Gu poison.

How can the two of them be honest with each other? Yun Yanzheng secretly snorted coldly in his heart.

Three days later.

The blue sky and white day, the green willows on the side of the moat, the catkins fly like broken snow in the wind of late spring, like a farewell to others. Amid the cheers of the people of Kyoto, Jiutian rode on the journey to the northwest.

On the wall of the north gate of the palace, there stood a long, straight figure.

He stared intently in the direction in which the Nine Heavens Ride was heading. Even though at the end of the long street, the back of the silver bell snowball at the front of the line was like a grain of sand, his gaze still fell on her through the houses, through the layers of streets.

Chu Ruirong was wearing a guard uniform, standing at the highest point of the palace with a dignified demeanor, and his eyes were extremely sent.

Even though there are choices and burdens in the chasm between them, and even more things, he has never been able to give up this relationship. The most bitter thing in life is that he can't let go, can't be reluctant, can't see through, if he puts down the position of the son, then there is no more strength to protect her and the people she wants to protect; If he is willing to give her up, then he will no longer be caught between her and the emperor; If he abandons the future in which they may be together, then there will be no more anxiety and heartache.

It's not that he doesn't understand, but he resolutely chooses to be corrupted by these three, and he is obsessed.

There was a slight smile in his warm eyes.

Holding the walls tightly with both hands, he secretly prayed to God in his heart. Wish her all well! If there is any danger, please inflict it on him, even if it is a hundred diseases and deaths, there is no complaint.

On the white horse at the front of the Nine Heavens Ride, Yun Yanzheng's battle suit and armor were scorching with silver light, the white robe was slightly fluttering in the willow catkins in the spring breeze, and there was a slight smile on his beautiful face, and his eyes looked at the road ahead quietly. She didn't look back at the direction of Yuecheng once, and there was no one in her heart who was no longer concerned except Yun Yanjin. Nor did she know that on the high walls of the palace, someone was praying for her protection, and even made a wish to pay the price of her life. Whether in the harem or on the battlefield, she has long been accustomed to decisive decisions, and will never leave her opponent a chance to fight back.

She had traveled far away, but what remained in his heart was the back of Gu Xi riding with her, which could not be dissipated for a long time. After Chu Ruirong took a deep breath, he turned around and went down the city tower. The ten years of waiting have passed, and she secretly told herself that she didn't have to care about this short parting, she would eventually return to Jingshi.

Although she comforted herself so much, the people who accompanied her in this dangerous predicament were not herself after all, but someone else. And it's the boy who makes him so dangerous that he can't see clearly.

Chu Ruirong stopped his hurried footsteps and stood in the silky spring breeze, his eyes in a trance like a dream.

Outside the city walls, the expedition team had gradually left the boundary of Yuecheng in an orderly and rapid manner.

This march tried not to disturb the villagers, and even if they had to camp outside the village, they were extremely restrained and self-disciplined, so as not to disturb the peace of the people.

This night, I camped on the way, and the mountains and fields were all over the place, but the Nine Heavens Cavalry, who had been accustomed to fighting for a long time, had long been accustomed to it, and everything was deployed step by step and in order.

So far, Gu Xi has found that the number of marching troops has decreased by one-tenth, and those who have disappeared should be the elite of the Nine Heavens Cavalry. Since the emperor announced that he would go on the expedition together, Yun Yanzheng has not invited him to participate in the strategic deployment once, and he is naturally very knowledgeable, and there is no need to break into the camp. Yun Yanzheng always avoided him most of the time, even if it was an accidental and inevitable meeting, he just talked to him leisurely and casually about the customs and customs along the way, the country was beautiful, and there was not a word about the military situation.

Gu Xi was sitting in his military tent at the moment, eating alone, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips. She wanted to completely empty his position and influence in the army, so that he could bear the title of a military advisor, but he was more idle and idle in the army than a group leader.

In this battle, she didn't want him to interfere at all, which was completely different from being helpless and controlled by others when she was in Beijing.

Thinking about it this way, is she confident?

He ate gracefully and slowly, his eyes shining, and he smiled in his heart. He is not interested in this at all, the purpose is not to gain any prestige and trust in the army, let alone to let the emperor entrust him with important responsibilities because of this. The outcome of this battle was crucial, but his purpose was ......

Gu Xi picked up the shredded beef in front of him one by one to the empty plate, but he was thinking about something else in his mind. Since Yu Guo also participated in the rebellion of Wei Guo and seized the throne, it would not be so simple. Looking at the generals sent to conquer the Ul State this time, it can be seen that the wolf ambition of the Yu State has been planned for a long time.

You Zimo, the commander of Yu State, is good at using military strategy and wisdom, and has five fierce generals under his command. These five may be unrivaled in bravery; or good at strategy; or by skill; or both wisdom and courage; or lurking assassinations, each of which is not easy to match. I don't know how the Phoenix Dance Changgong will defeat this menacing enemy army this time?

Judging from the constantly disappearing elites, although they have not yet arrived at the battlefield, Yun Yanzheng seems to have taken action, is it to avoid the enemy's edge and turn the whole into zero? Or do you want to immediately raise your power and thwart the enemy?

There was a slight but regular sound of footsteps outside the tent. Gu Xi raised his head, the man had already lifted the curtain and came in, and he didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding suspicion. Yun Yanzheng was still dressed in a very clean white dress, from head to toe with a refreshing and neat outfit, smiled and walked to the other side of the long table to sit down peacefully, glanced at Gu Xi, and said with a smile: "Yun has never had dinner, and I hope Brother Gu will not mind." Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the small pot containing rice in his hand, and his other hand was about to ask for rice from the empty bowl in front of Gu Xi.

The corners of Gu Xi's lips curled slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Gu has already used it, Yun Shuai is free to do so." ”

Yun Yanzheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How boring is it to eat alone?" Yun came over to have a meal with his husband. ”

Gu Xi poured a cup of clear soup, and said with a smile: "I can only blame Yun Shuai for coming at the wrong time, doctors often say that rice should not be too full, this is the way to maintain health." ”

Yun Yanzheng smiled and didn't insist on distinguishing from him, only to see him pick out all the shredded beef, and wondered: "Mr. doesn't like to eat beef?" ”

"You can't eat beef since you were a child, otherwise the poison will attack." Gu Xi smiled, glanced at the two dishes that were not too bad, and casually told her about this secret. He didn't seem to care about the cold alienation along the way, and he could even see a reasonable smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Yun Yanzheng saw it in his eyes, but his heart became more and more worried. If this person is not broad-minded, he is like a sea of rivers; It's unpredictable, as if the wind and clouds are changing.

"I see, I'll give the leader of the gang an order in the future." Yun Yanzheng slowly and methodically ate the rice pot, and his eyes swept over the dish of beef again. At this moment, although the marching army has food and grass, it has also fallen into difficulties many times in the past, and the grass is starved to survive the vicious battle. People who are accustomed to thrift here, when they see such meat being wasted, unexpectedly rise up a sense of violence.

Before she could exhale her sigh, she saw Gu Xi stand up, pick up the plate of beef and walk out, he left a message: "Please Yun Shuai wait." ”

Is that all her expression so obvious? Or are his eyes just too scary?

Yun Yanzheng was stunned for a moment and stopped the action of picking vegetables in his hand. She frowned slightly, holding her chin, was he going to pour it out? Let her be out of sight? In fact, she can eat it completely, and she hasn't eaten at the same table with him? He just picked it out with a chopstick, and he didn't spoil it, and she didn't eat the muddy buns, and the sweet potatoes that she shared with others. Well, as a delicate and expensive eldest princess, she really shouldn't eat the food that other people's chopsticks have touched, so this waste is a waste. I don't know how much food is wasted in the palace every day?

Just when she was back to eating, Gu Xi had already lifted the curtain and walked in, the white clothes were as lonely as a cloud, but he took two steaming dishes in his hands, gently put them in front of Yun Yanzheng, and pushed away the half-empty plate he had just eaten. Yun Yanzheng raised his eyes, only to see him smile and say, "It's Gu who is rude." I never expected that Yun Shuai would come, and serving two dishes at this moment can be regarded as making amends. ”

Yun Yanzheng glanced at the two dishes with full color and fragrance, smiled, put down the chopsticks and said, "Mr. is serious, please take a seat, it is indeed Yun who is late." "Usually they eat people with soft mouths and short hands. She didn't have such a consciousness in front of Gu Xi, firstly, she was on guard against this person, and she couldn't infer it according to common sense, and she couldn't play cards according to common sense; The second is that this person's cooking skills will really make her unforgettable, and the aftertaste is endless.

I have never been embarrassed to ask for food again, and since ancient times, gentlemen have stayed away from cooking. Although such a secular agreement is not anything in the eyes of this person? But in Luming Villa, it is only in the royal private courtyard after all, but in this army, everyone goes to cook and cook, which makes people even more unable to guess the calculation in his heart, it can only be said that this person has his own set of rules of conduct in his heart.
