August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Originally, it was a time for family reunion, and at this time of year, countless people who were displaced outside tried every means to return to their hometowns and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with their families.

But for the people in this small courtyard, the Mid-Autumn Festival has long become an unattainable luxury.

Gu Qingming, as a general of Daning, has had countless Mid-Autumn festivals, he has spent them on the battlefield, no family, no reunion, only earth-shattering battles and shouts, and those brothers around him who live and die together.

And Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao, their families are not there, every Mid-Autumn Festival, others are reunited and celebrated, but for them, it is just a little melancholy.

But now, a few of them, in this small courtyard, are rarely calm and peaceful, and the tranquility that they have never experienced over the years permeates this inconspicuous courtyard, which makes people feel at ease.

They are all destined to drift, and it is a pleasure to be able to have a moment of comfort here.

Gu Qingming deliberately bought good wine and food outside, and he didn't dare to be too publicistic on weekdays, but during the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the joy of the people of Haoguo, they could also be chic once in a while without being noticed.

Yun Yao didn't allow Lu Yingquan to drink, so she brewed some fruit wine and flower wine for her to satisfy her hunger.

August is the season when osmanthus is fragrant, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers from nowhere is mixed with the osmanthus wine in Lu Yingquan's hand, which makes people drunk before drinking.

This meal was enjoyable, but Lu Yingquan felt a little more regretful because Shen Che was not there.

Now this kind of day without fighting for fame and fortune, the day when it is as calm as water, may be broken tomorrow, but she can't live with Shen Che even for a day without fighting with the world.

Maybe it was because of something on her mind, Lu Yingquan got drunk not long after, she was lying on the table, her face was red, and she looked particularly charming. Even Sisi, who served her every day, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Miss Yun, I'll help Niangniang go back to the room to rest first, you continue. Sisi said, then helped Lu Yingquan, who was a little drunk, and walked towards the room.

Yun Yao wanted to help, but was waved away by Lu Yingquan, saying that it was not necessary.

In an instant, only Gu Qingming and Yun Yao were left in the courtyard. Yun Yao looked a little helpless: "She has a good amount of alcohol in the past day, why did she get drunk so quickly today? Could it be that when I made osmanthus wine, I put too much wine?"

"Fool, she did it on purpose. Gu Qingming's eyes were like torches, and he saw through Lu Yingquan's thoughts, "It's just osmanthus wine, how could you get drunk so quickly?" She deliberately let us be alone. ”

When Yun Yao heard this, she blushed slightly and stopped talking.

"She understands you. This time I went to the Hao Palace to protect you, although it was my own will, but it also benefited from her persistence. She said that in the past, we gathered less and left more, even if we were also in the Ning Palace, we could only see each other. Gu Qingming continued, "You have done a lot for her, maybe in her heart, this is the only thing she can do for you." ”

"Thank you for telling me all this. Yun Yao smiled lightly, "Since it is her hope, then let's not live up to this great time." ”

"What do you want to do?" Gu Qingming heard this, his eyes suddenly became clear, and even his voice was a little unnatural, as if it was tainted with a hint of lust.

"Admire the moon!" Yun Yao smiled lightly, "Otherwise, what else can you do?"

Yun Yao knew what Gu Qingming meant, but her reserve made her unable to do that kind of initiative, so she could only use this way to dispel Gu Qingming's thoughts.

"You......" Gu Qingming stroked her face, a little helpless.

Under the moonlight, Yun Yao looked up at the man beside her, and her figure was engraved in her handsome and affectionate eyes. She was moved by such a small detail, then turned around and threw herself into Gu Qingming's arms, coquettish: "You take me to the roof, just like in the past in the Ning Palace, you took me to enjoy the pear blossoms." ”

Gu Qingming didn't say anything, he didn't hesitate to put his arm around her waist, perform light skills, jump on the roof, and then sit down. For fear that Yun Yao would fall, his hand was always on her waist and never left.

Yun Yao snuggled into Gu Qingming's arms, looking up at the sky, looking at the faint moonlight, and feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

In fact, today's moon is not very far away, but it is extraordinarily bright and dazzling, the clear glow of the moonlight spreads throughout the courtyard, shrouding them around, looking from a distance, it seems that they are wrapped in a halo of halo, which is very beautiful.

Lu Yingquan stood in the room, opened the window slightly, and looked at the person on the roof diagonally opposite, so quiet and beautiful, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Sisi, you see how right they are? If it weren't for this troubled world, they would have been an enviable couple. Lu Yingquan sighed at the slightest sigh beside him.

She knows that it is the cruel reality that makes the two people who love each other so much put aside the private feelings of their children, because they have no extra time, and they can only have a moment of quiet time to warm each other in their leisure time at home and in the world.

"Niangniang, but if there were no troubled times full of gunpowder, their relationship might not be so indestructible. Sisi has a different view, "The so-called adversity produces true feelings, and the more troubled the times, the more precious their feelings become." ”

"You girl is transparent. Lu Yingquan smiled, but didn't say anything else, but closed the window, and couldn't bear to disturb the couple who had been quiet for a long time, "Sisi, do you know how to play chess? It's a long night, and you have to find a way to get through it. ”

"The slave and maid will do, but the chess skills are very stinky, so don't dislike it. As she spoke, she went to set up the chessboard.

The master and servant in the house played against each other under the lamp, and the two people on the roof leaned against each other, only Gu Chen, dressed in black, hidden in the dark, looking at his master and Miss Yun, his heart was full of emotion.

After all, he is the witness of the relationship between the master and Miss Yun, since the master traveled south to control the flood and sent him to Miss Yun's side, he has never been absent from everything between them.

The night was quiet and beautiful, Yun Yao found a comfortable position in Gu Qingming's arms, and lay down obediently, letting Gu Qingming hug her, enjoying his protection and warmth.

However, Yun Yao was a weak woman in the end, although she was admiring the moon, she fell asleep not long after.

Gu Qingming looked at the sleeping Yun Yao, worried that she would get cold on the roof, and wanted to hug her down, but he was a little reluctant to do so.

Just as he sighed and was about to leave the roof, Gu Chen landed on the roof with light skills, put a cloak on both hands, covered Yun Yao on his body, and then turned around and floated away.

Gu Qingming looked at Gu Chen's still expressionless face, but he was a little funny in his heart, it seemed that Gu Chen had been following Yun Yao for a long time, and the whole person had become humane.

In the past, Gu Chen didn't ask him to appear, he would never appear by himself. But now, he can see the needs of his master, and then solve it by taking the opportunity to solve it, it seems that Yun Yao is also indispensable.

No one bothered anymore, Gu Qingming sat on the roof with Yun Yao in his arms all night, Yun Yao slept very comfortably, but Gu Qingming's arms were already stiff.

When the first rays of morning light fell on the horizon, the biological clock in Yun Yao's body woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he happened to see Gu Qingming's side face and chin.

She smiled, feeling what kind of posture she was nesting in Gu Qingming's arms, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly struggled to get up, and said, "I'm asleep, why don't you wake me up? ”

"It's rare for me to hug you once, and you have to deprive you of such an opportunity?" Gu Qingming was in a good mood, and he didn't care that his arm was sore, and he joked with Yun Yao.

"I hate it!" Yun Yao smiled shyly, and consciously moved to Gu Qingming's side, then held his arm and began to massage him.

The doctor's technique has always been precise and unique, with the acupuncture points on his arm, and Yun Yao's moderate strength, it didn't take long for Gu Qingming to feel his arm.

Slowly, the arm that had been numb had returned to its normal state.

I don't know when, the sky was already bright, Lu Yingquan opened the door, walked out of it with a yawn, looked at the two people on the roof, and said with a smile:

"Are you planning to sit on it for the rest of your life? Don't forget, today we have to pack our bags and get ready to go!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Qingming put his arms around Yun Yao and jumped down from the roof gently, his fluttering figure crossed a beautiful arc in the air, which was pleasing to the eye.

Waiting until Yun Yao stood firm, Gu Qingming let go of her, and the two stood still on the ground.

"I'll go out for a while, buy some medicinal herbs, make pills for fetal maintenance, and take them on the road. Yun Yao said, "When I return to Yiguo, I have to walk for more than half a month on the road, and I have to prepare all my things." ”

"I'm going to work hard for you again, wait until I return to Yiguo......" Lu Yingquan said, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Achen who came down from the roof.

"Master, His Royal Highness King Yi is here!"

Achen jumped down from the roof, stood in front of Gu Qingming, held a pigeon in both hands, and handed it to Gu Qingming.

Gu Qingming took off the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, took out the paper inside, looked at it at a glance, and suddenly his face became very solemn.

"What happened, what did Your Highness say?" Seeing this, Yun Yao had a bad premonition flashing in her heart, and hurriedly asked.

"You don't have to pack up your things, Yiguo probably won't be able to go back. Gu Qingming said, handing the letter to Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan.

This letter was written by Shen Che, the king of Yi, which simply wrote how he escaped from the capital and returned to Yiguo, and told Gu Qingming that Dewey and Du Jiangheng had led their troops north, and Chen Bing was on the northern border of Yiguo to compete with Qin Yuankai's pursuers.

In other words, the border of Yiguo is now a time when the war situation is tense. If they rush back to Yiguo now, if they are unlucky and run into Qin Yuankai's people, it will be bad.

After all, Lu Yingquan is not Jiang Yi, and she still has a child in her belly. What's more, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming are also people that Shen Che must not give up, without Yun Yao, the plan for the follow-up alliance is likely to be hindered, because only she is familiar with the meticulous work of various countries and the weaknesses of the vassal kings, and without Gu Qingming, no one in Yiguo can really compete with Qin Yuankai.
