Yun Yao sat in the room and waited for Gu Qingming to come back, but she couldn't help but analyze the current situation in her mind.

According to Gu Qingming's previous statement in the court, the three kingdoms came to attack at the same time, which was definitely not a coincidence, but premeditated.

Xiyue was defeated at the hands of the founding emperor, and since the founding of Daning, it has been guarding itself in peace, and has not committed any offense with Daningqiu; there are several Daning generals on the Nanyi side, and there are two feudal armies of Rui and Yiguo threatening, so they have never been very bold.

Only Beidi, a nation that has always been known for its riding skills and archery, and a country known for its fierceness and bravery, will come to Daning almost every year to fight the autumn wind and grab food. Therefore, Daning has the largest number of troops in the north, and the leading generals are also the most outstanding, such as the Gu family.

But even so, the Gu family sacrificed on the battlefield in the north, but they failed to extinguish Beidi's ambitions, sometimes they just settled down for a few years, and when they came to their senses, they began to send troops again.

Now, Beidi is also considered to be smart, knowing that the power of one country cannot shake Daning in the slightest, so he took advantage of the civil war in Daning and when Shen Che first ascended the throne when the foundation was unstable, he united with the other two countries to send troops at the same time.

Daning has just experienced a civil war, and there are a lot of losses in the soldiers, and it is a time when people are sleepy and tired, especially the army with the most battles, I am afraid that it has not completely recovered its vitality until now, and Beidi wants this opportunity.

What's more, the reason why Beidi is so desperate may be because she and Gu Qingming made a fuss in Beidi's camp last winter.

The two masters of Beidi, Ge Shu Crazy and Bol Bing, were all lost in the hands of Yun Yao, most of the grain and grass were burned, and even Qin Yuankai, the only one who could provide them with grain and grass, died in the hands of Gu Qingming, and so on, probably forced Bol Bing to be anxious.

If Beidi doesn't want to have the difficult days of last winter, then he can only go to Daning to grab it.

Countless thoughts flashed through Yun Yao's mind, and she even listed the advantages and disadvantages of Daning's third-line battle in her heart, and calculated the possibility of winning the battle for Gu Qingming.

Although she believes in Gu Qingming's ability, she will not blindly worship Gu Qingming like the people of Daning, the name of the so-called god of war is a reputation accumulated by Gu Qingming with his own flesh and blood and the blood of the soldiers of Jingbian, and it is not a blessing of the gods at all.

In this way, Yun Yao sat in the room all night, and even when Su Xin's newly replaced candle was about to burn out, a voice came from outside:

"Why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

"Back to the general, the eldest princess is still waiting for the general to come back. Su Xin's voice was full of worry.

Gu Qingming didn't say anything more, pushed the door in, and happened to see Yun Yao get up from the bed and greet him, but maybe because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were a little numb, and he stumbled when he walked, and he almost fell.

Seeing this, Gu Qingming hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged the staggering Yun Yao into his arms: "It's so cold, why don't you sleep?"

Gu Qingming had just come back from outside, and she was still cold from the wind and snow, and even the clothes on her body were cold, if it was ordinary, Yun Yao would feel cold as soon as she got close, but today she endured the cold, nestled in his arms and didn't want to come out.

"I'm waiting for you. Yun Yao whispered, "I didn't expect you to really stay in the palace all night." ”

"Fool. Gu Qingming sighed, picked up Yun Yao horizontally, put her on the bed, lifted the quilt, and covered her body, "A-Yao, the war is imminent, the emperor ordered me to leave today." ”

"I guessed it. Yun Yao's expression was very calm, "I've packed up all your things." ”

Gu Qingming followed Yun Yao's gaze, and sure enough, a burden had already been packed on the table, and even his usual long sword was put aside.

"You and I have just gotten married, and we should have been with you well, but Daning has just settled down now, and there are constant external troubles, except for me, the emperor has no other credible person. Gu Qingming apologized, "I'm sorry, Ah Yao, the matter promised to you may have to be delayed." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how long you wait, as long as you take care of yourself and come back safely. Yun Yao said.

"I promise you, when I break the army of the Three Kingdoms, I will come back immediately. Gu Qingming solemnly promised.

Yun Yao nodded, took the initiative to throw herself into Gu Qingming's arms, hugged him tightly, reluctant to let go, the cold air on Gu Qingming's body had gradually disappeared for a long time, and he was warmed by the earth dragon in this room.

If there were extra words, Yun Yao didn't ask, she didn't want to know why the emperor changed his mind, obviously he asked Gu Qingming to go north to Chicheng and break the Beidi army, why did it become the army of the Three Kingdoms now?

She doesn't know how to fight, and these things are not something she can manage as a woman, the only thing she can think of is that since Beidi, Nanyi and Xiyue have an alliance, it means that they have interests involved, communicate with each other, and rely on and support each other, so Daning also needs a general who can coordinate the overall situation and see through the conspiracy of the three kingdoms.

This person who can coordinate the overall situation is none other than Gu Qingming.

The candles in the house were burned out, but the light was brighter, and the sky was already bright, but the two were still reluctant to separate.

Gu Qingming lowered his head, looked at the woman in his arms, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he stretched out his hand and quickly tapped Yun Yao's back twice. saw Yun Yao's head crooked, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep.

Putting Yun Yao down and lying flat on the bed, the temperature in his arms suddenly dropped and became cold.

After covering the quilt, Gu Qingming resolutely got up, carried the burden and the long sword, and walked out of the door: "She is asleep, you take good care of her." ”

"Yes, General. Su Xin and Hong Xiao glanced at each other, saluted, and watched Gu Qingming go away.

The lonely and clear back looked more and more desolate in the snow silence of the thousand mountains, and it was not until she could no longer see that Su Xin pulled Hongxiao into the room, stayed by Yun Yao's side, and took turns to rest.

At the gate of the General's Mansion, Gu Chen and Gu Yan were already waiting, the horses were ready, and as soon as Gu Qingming came out, they could set off immediately.

"Achen, you stay, protect Madame. Gu Qingming came out, looked at the two henchmen who had been following him, and opened his mouth to command.

Over the years, Gu Chen has been by Yun Yao's side and knows how important Yun Yao is to Gu Qingming, so he did not refuse and accepted the order.

Gu Qingming and Gu Yan turned over their horses, raised their long whips lightly, and then disappeared into the ice and snow.

And Gu Chen, seeing that the two of them had walked far away, so far that they could no longer see it, returned to the General's Mansion and hid himself in the main courtyard, protecting Yun Yao's safety as always.

Yun Yao slept for a day and a night before she woke up, she hadn't slept for a long time, her energy was exhausted, and Gu Qingming's acupuncture points were relatively heavy, so she slept directly until the next morning.

When she woke up, Gu Qingming and Gu Yan had already left the capital a hundred miles away.

Gu Qingming made a choice for her, so she did not experience the reluctance and pain of parting, but she felt a little more melancholy and longing.

"Princess, you are awake, and the slave and maid are waiting for you to freshen up and eat. Su Xin came in, saw Yun Yao sitting on the bed, spoke, and then groomed Yun Yao with her hands and feet.

After picking up, Hongxiao brought food from the kitchen again, she knew that Yun Yao might be in a bad mood and her appetite was not very good, so she specially asked the kitchen to make clear porridge, accompanied by a small plate of crispy and delicious crispy dried radish and sauerkraut, which was also very delicious.

The strange thing is that Yun Yao did not have any bad appetite, she ate two large bowls of porridge before putting down the chopsticks, and during this period, she did not ask Gu Qingming anything.

Yun Yao's life fell into a silent calm, she was no longer as cautious and trembling as before, but the worry in her heart was not much less than before.

She built a room next to the Gu family ancestral hall in the East Garden of the General's Mansion, converted it into a Buddhist hall, and went to it every day to copy scriptures, pray for Gu Qingming, and pray that he could return victoriously as soon as possible.

A month later, Yun Yao received the first letter from Gu Qingming from the border, saying that he had arrived in Xiaocheng and was about to confront Bol Bing, and the battle reports of Xiyue and Nanyi had almost been delivered to him, and he had already begun to prepare for the war in a planned way, preparing to break the alliance of the three kingdoms.

Yun Yao made a delicate brocade box, put the letter written by Gu Qingming to her inside, then locked it, tied the key with a rope of colorful threads, and put it in the purse around her waist, no matter what set of clothes she wore, she never left her body.

This war is not so easy to fight, Yun Yao never thought that Gu Qingming ordered her sleeping hole to leave that day, she had been away for so long, so long until winter and spring, summer was thick, autumn leaves were falling, and snow was thousands of miles.

It's another year in the blink of an eye.

The letters in the brocade box have been stacked very thick, these letters are evidence that Yun Yao and Gu Qingming miss each other, and on the thin paper, his concern is recorded, and it also carries her love and her sorrow.

At the palace banquet in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Yingquan announced that Yun Yao entered the palace early to accompany her, and the two sat in the Hehuan Hall for a long time and talked a lot.

In the past year, Lu Yingquan was afraid that Yun Yao would be lonely in the General's Mansion alone, so he asked her to enter the palace at the end of three days, and the two were inseparable just like in the Ning Palace in the past.

The eldest prince Shen Jue and the second prince Shen Jin are both more than a year old, especially Shen Jue, who will be two years old in the spring of the new year.

The second prince Shen Jin was born prematurely, his health was not good, and he was thinner, but he was also Yuxue cute, although he was not as lively and active as his brother Shen Jue, but he was also raised by Lu Yingquan very likable and lovely.

"Aunt Yun, hug-" Shen Jue saw Yun Yao coming, and immediately rushed over with his little short legs, plunged into Yun Yao's legs, and two little fat arms wrapped around Yun Yao's legs, begging for a hug.

"Aunt Yun, I want to hug too-" Shen Jin followed his brother's example and rushed over.

The two children hugged Yun Yao on one leg and circled around her, the innocent and lovely appearance swept away the suppressed sorrow in Yun Yao's heart, she pulled the two little ones to the chair and sat down, and then let the bamboo branch hold the two little ones to her lap, sitting left and right, looking so harmonious.
