According to his memory of escorting Yan Qing during the day, under the light of the red lanterns in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Guo Rong slowly walked towards the backyard of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

At the door of the cross-courtyard that belonged to himself and Yan Qing's independent space in his memory, Guo Rong saw Gu Lina, who was pacing at the door in a festive palace costume.

Seeing Guo Rong coming, Gu Lina stopped pacing, with a wicked smile on her face.

Waiting for Guo Rong to walk in front of her, Gu Lina tightened her clothes and straightened up, and under the red light emitted by the lantern, Guo Rong was dizzy.

Seeing Guo Rong's embarrassed face, Gu Lina covered her mouth and snickered, took a basket from the women's army who was acting as a guard next to her, handed it to Guo Rong, and gently opened the courtyard door behind her.

"Okay, I won't tease you, Qing'er is waiting for you!"

"What is this?"

"Then it's fine, it's for you and Qing'er."

Stunned, he took the basket and entered through the courtyard gate opened by Gu Lina, the backyard was very quiet, and the red lantern emitted a soft light, making the entire backyard exude a festive atmosphere.

Seeing the concealment, Guo Rong gently pushed the door in, dressed in red, Yan Qing, who was wearing a red hijab on her head, leaned on the head of the bed motionless, according to Guo Rong's judgment, this little girl is most likely asleep...

Guo Rong was helpless and sorry in his heart, his wedding with Xiao Fourteen was not so much a wedding as a super-large social platform.

Emperor Taishang, emperor, Zaifu, nobles, courtiers, generals, everyone has their own purpose, everyone has their own interests, everyone has their own role, even if they regard themselves as a tool man, Guo Rong is exhausted at this time, not to mention such a little girl as Yan Qing.

Guo Rong turned around and closed the door as gently as he could, but the basket in his hand touched the door frame, and the sound of gentle collision still woke Yan Qing up.

Seeing Xiao Fourteen, who was looking up at him through the hooded red, Guo Rong smiled bitterly, put the basket on the table, strode to the bed, and sat next to Yan Qing.

The red hood then slipped off, looking at the shy beauty in front of him, Guo Rong kissed lightly.

"Guo Lang~"

"It's time to call the husband!"

"Husband~"

"Hey!"

"Is Gulina outside the door?"

"It should be guarding the backyard door, don't worry, no one is eavesdropping!"

"Husband, why don't you call Gu Lina in!"

, Guo Rong's head is directly sweating, what does this mean, send a question or a proposition......

"Ah, this, this, doesn't seem to fit ......"

"I know ......, my mother taught me last night, but I really don't want to leave Gulina alone tonight......"

Looking at Xiao Fourteen's eyes, Guo Rong could basically determine that this was a scoring question, although he also thought about whether to try it if he had the opportunity in the future, but it was really unexpected to be like this so quickly, and the result was - his heart was full of joy!

But for the sake of safety, Guo Rong still pretended to refuse first.

"Well, but this does not seem to be in accordance with the rules, and if it spreads, the wedding night of the concubine will ......, in case it angers His Majesty...... Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will let me enter the palace in anger... ”

Seeing Guo Rong like this, Yan Qing was a little more relaxed.

"I asked my mother, Gulina is my dowry, and I can serve here tonight ......, and"

Looking at Yan Qing, whose face was already red, Guo Rong smiled evilly.

"And what?"

And Gulina is alone, I really don't want Gulina to be alone on our wedding night, I really can't bear to ............ it."

Listening to Yan Qing's broken thoughts, Guo Rong finally smiled slightly.

"Are you sure you don't regret it?"

"Hmm!"

"Hey, it's so kind, Little Fourteen," Guo Rong stretched out his arms and gently hugged Yan Qing in his arms, "Don't worry, I will always be with you, then I'll call Gu Lina now." ”

"Hmm!"

Just when Gu Lina was lonely outside the courtyard gate in a daze.

"Squeak——!"

The door that had been closed was suddenly opened, and Gu Lina, who had a blank face, was suddenly awakened.

Looking back, she was surprised to see Guo Rong appear at the door, waving at her.

"What's wrong? You don't want to accompany Yan Qing well, what are you doing when you come out? ”

Seeing that there were still a few guards acting as guards at the door, Guo Rong hesitated for a moment and did not speak by himself, but slowly walked to Gu Lina's side and whispered a few words.

Halfway through hearing this, Gu Lina's face, who had deliberately made Guo Rong dizzy not long ago, suddenly turned red.

"You go first, I have something to do, I'll go over right away!"

"Good!"

Without being entangled, Guo Rong turned around and entered the door, and when she saw Guo Rong leaving, Gu Lina bowed to the women's army next to her with a flushed face.

"I'm tired of my sisters guarding it outside!"

"Little lady, please rest assured!"

Seeing Gu Lina enter the courtyard with a red face, a few stubborn women's soldiers at the door smiled, now they must honestly guard the door according to the instructions of the eldest princess, otherwise the concubine may really be impeached.

Outside the hospital, the Women's Army strengthened its vigilance.

Inside, soft red candles add a different style to the beautiful scenery in the room.

Seeing Gu Lina walking into the house with a red face, Yan Qing was relieved, and the two girls looked at each other and smiled.

………………

I don't know when it will be, the night is deep, the people are quiet, and the two beauties have fallen asleep.

Guo Rong walked out of the door alone, looking at the moon with feelings.

The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

……………………………………………………………………………

As the sun rose, the tired Yan Qing twisted his body slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and found that Gu Lina was staring at him with more interest.

"Tired or not?"

"Tired! Not only was I tired, but I felt pain all over my body! ”

"Me ...... too"

“……”

“……”

Just when the two of them were smirking at each other,

"Gollum~Gollum~"

Hearing the voice in Yan Qing's belly, Gu Lina swooped, and then found that she was also hungry, and then found the basket that Guo Rong had placed on the table.

While laughing, Gu Lina walked from the bed to the table, took off the red cloth on the basket, and found that the food and wine prepared yesterday had not been touched, and a smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh my God, you called me in yesterday without even drinking a glass of wine?"

"Isn't that afraid you'll be uncomfortable, and...... Guo Lang needs the ...... of his heirs. ”

"Didn't Zhang Daochang say that it's okay now?"

"But I'm still worried about ......"

"Don't worry, no problem, you can follow Guo Lang all the way......"

As he spoke, the two glanced at Guo Rong, who was asleep.

"Okay, okay, no matter what he is, I'm dying of hunger!"

Then Yan Qing and Gu Lina looked at each other and smiled, sat down at the table, and began to feast.

As for Guo Rong, he felt that he had a long dream~

………………………………………………………………………………

After a grand wedding, Guo Rong's days in Chang'an finally entered a calm stage.

During the day, he practiced troops in the Forbidden Garden, practiced tactics, learned strategy and actual combat skills from Li Yu, and was not idle when he went home at night.

Although the schedule is full, it is hard and happy.

Time passed inadvertently, the training of the Changying Army was steadily advancing, and Han Yu's indoctrination/brainwashing program was slowly progressing, and everything was in order.

Guo Rong tried to transplant all the habits of rabbits to the Changying Army, not all of which could be consistent with the era of the Tang Dynasty, but many things did give the Changying Army a completely different temperament and style from other armies in this era.

Queue training cultivated orders and prohibitions, internal affairs and discipline cultivated the patience of non-commissioned officers, as well as absolute obedience to orders, good military appearance, and military discipline made the Changying Army the pride of all concerned.

The setting up of professional auxiliary troops such as reconnaissance/scout battalions, cooking squads, medical teams/battalions, and engineer soldiers caused the second reform after Li Jing in the Tang military era.

High-intensity training, adequate nutritional supplies, and a large number of veterans as the core guidance, coupled with the promotion and elimination system of the three battalions of regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and logistics, have greatly improved efficiency.

According to the current progress, at the end of the first month of the new year, the first phase of training of the Changying Army will be completed, and what is lacking at that time is a training of an actual combat nature.

After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth~

Therefore, starting from December of the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan, Guo Rong began to go to the military department frequently.

On the last day of the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan, Guo Rong finally waited for what he wanted - Longzhou, Yuanzhou, Jingzhou, and Fengzhou, Shannan Province, Gyeonggi Province, and at the same time, a military report came that the scout of the eastern border of Tubo was discovered!

In the western part of Chang'an to defend against the invasion of Tibet, the Jingyuan Army Jiedu envoy and Fengxiang Jiedu envoy have begun to mobilize soldiers and horses to prepare for war!

Jingzhou, Longzhou, Yuanzhou, Fengzhou, these border states near Chang'an were originally the areas that Guo Rong focused on considering, and the time, distance, and distance were very suitable, and they were likely to be the starting point of the future westward expedition.

On the second day of the first month of the first year of Yuanhe, mainly veterans, hunters, and herdsmen, the newly formed Changying Army reconnaissance battalion set out to target Longzhou, Yuanzhou, and Fengzhou, surveying the road conditions along the way, drawing maps, presetting camping sites, and inspecting the terrain on the spot.

At the same time, with the dispatch of the reconnaissance battalion, the rest of the Changying Army also began to move slowly.
