"I lied to him before, and he must have known it now, and he will definitely come after the Lantern Festival." Xie Song glanced at him, "Aren't you all dragging your feet waiting for him to persuade me?"

Gui Hong's mind was debunked, and he sneered, "Aren't you also waiting for your son to come? If you don't convince Childe, how can you take him north with peace of mind."

Xie Songzhao looked down at the red rope in his hand, "He is too heavy on his mind and doesn't explain it to him, I'm afraid he won't want me to pave the way for him."

Guihong sat down, "Master Hou, do you want to call the little boy to come over and have dinner with you today?"

Xie Songzhao shook his head, "No need, I want to eat the osmanthus cake from the one on the south bank of the river, you go buy some for me."

Guihong sighed, "At this time, they still have osmanthus cakes at home."

Zhong Luochuan walked in dejectedly, "Senior sister sent a letter over, saying that the teacher had gone to the mountains to collect medicine, and he would not come back until June next year at the earliest."

Xie Songzhao poured them tea, "Don't worry, next June will not be June ten years later. Come on, Brother Luo, please."

Luo Xinli glanced at his face, "If you don't go to Northern Xinjiang, don't say June next year, even in June ten years later, I have a way."

Zhong Luochuan was upset with the teacup, "What about your apprentice?"

Xie Songzhao took a sip of Yangxian tea, "Why do you want to see him?"

Zhong Luochuan snorted coldly, "I can't see it?"

Xie Songzhao nodded, "Yes, yes, whatever Doctor Zhong says, it's what it is."

The girl on the south bank of the river heard Guihong say that she wanted osmanthus cake, and her face was embarrassed, "Childe, it's not that the small shop doesn't sell it, it's really that the son has already bought it all, which son is upstairs, why don't you go and ask him evenly?"

Gui Hong nodded, and as soon as he went up the stairs, the smoky blue back by the window startled him, "Master Hou!"

The smoky blue back turned, "Guihong?"

Guihong put his heart back into his stomach and stepped forward to arch his hand, "Childe, you ...... Why don't you come to see Master Hou when you come?"

Gu Mingchao had two large food boxes on the table, carved with osmanthus flowers, Gu Mingchao gently stroked the flowers, "I don't know what to say, he asked me to wait for him on the road anyway, what am I going to do."

Guihong remembered what Xie Songzhao said, "deceived him", and said nonsense, "Childe, Master Hou, he doesn't listen to anyone now, Lord Luo and Dr. Zhong prescribed medicine, he doesn't take it at all, you ......

"Let's go." Gu Mingchao's anger that had calmed down after sitting for a long time suddenly returned.

Shake the Star Temple.

Xie Songzhao leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep, Gu Mingchao stood in front of him, looked at him, and his anger suddenly disappeared, his plan was to stabilize the world, could he drag him and not let him go?

Sitting with his back against the bed, he knocked on the food box for a while, and suddenly Xie Songzhao reached out and patted his shoulder, "You're here."

Gu Mingchao turned around and stuffed his hand back for him, looked at the red rope in his hand, hesitated, and prepared to take it off for him.

"Do what?" Xie Song withdrew his hand.

Gu Mingchao began to get angry when he heard his voice, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Xie Songzhao rubbed the corners of his forehead, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, how could he be such a well-behaved apprentice, how could he be so fierce, "What was sent out, how could there be a reason to go back."

"Hold out your hand." Gu Mingchao squatted in front of his couch.

Xie Songzhao pondered how much he knew, and hesitantly stretched out his hands, "What's wrong?"

Gu Mingchao pulled his left wrist and pulled the red rope out, Xie Songzhao shrank down, and was held by him, Gu Mingchao looked up, "What's wrong, cold?"

Xie Songzhao tentatively withdrew his hand, "Why is Ming Ming so stingy?"

Gu Mingchao smiled angrily, "Yes, I'm the most angry." Untied his purse from his waist, "Who said I was going to take it back? I asked for a jade buckle at Bodhi Temple and put it on for you."

Xie Songzhao smiled and stretched out his hand, looking at his expression, "Give."

Gu Mingchao held his wrist, and there was always a sense of vulnerability that would be broken at any time, and he didn't dare to use force.

The bright red rope and the round buckle of white jade made his hands even paler.

Gu Mingchao gave him a tuck for him

Tucked the corners of the quilt, "Sleep, I'll watch over you."

Xie Songzhao touched the slightly cool jade buckle on his hand, "Do you still believe these?"

Gu Mingchao took out the chessboard in the drawer at the head of the bed, "Believe it, why don't you believe it."

Xie Songzhao tilted his head and coughed lightly twice, Gu Mingchao got up and fetched him a mattress, Xie Songzhao struggled to refuse, "Ming Dynasty, I just have an itchy throat, not cold."

Gu Mingchao reached out and touched his forehead, lowered his eyelashes, and looked at him with a pretended aggrieved look, "Let's build another bed."

Xie Songzhao closed his eyes and sighed, "Good ......"

Gu Ming quickly covered him, and tucked the corners of the quilt tightly, "Sleep."

Xie Songzhao sighed as he wanted to hold his forehead, "Ming Dynasty, I just woke up."

Gu Mingchao turned his head to look at him, "Okay, then do you eat osmanthus cake?"

Xie Song looked at him like a nobody, and hesitated, "Ming Dynasty, have you returned to Beijing to see Your Majesty?"

A trace of annoyance flashed on Gu Mingchao's face did not escape Xie Songzhao's eyes, and if others ignored his decision, they would have thought it through for a few days. But Gu Mingchao is different, and he has to explain it to him.

Xie Songzhao pondered his words, "Ming Dynasty, you ......"

"What do you want to say?" Gu Mingchao looked up at him, his eyes were already red, and he said in a trembling voice: "I have already convinced myself on the way, persuaded myself to accompany you to the Northern Frontier, why do you want to say it again?"

Xie Songzhao touched his head, "In the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia has calmed down the internal struggle and is ready to expand southward. Qiuzi is interested in being pro-Mongolian, but the Mongolians want to send their princess to Yandu. So I have to go to the north."

"I...... I ask you, half a year, can you wait for me for half a year? I'm sure I'll learn it soon! I'm quick to get started with housekeeping!" Gu Mingchao looked at him, the pleading and fear in his eyes made Xie Songzhao feel distressed, but he still shook his head, and Gu Mingchao slowly lowered his head.

Xie Songzhao touched his head, slowly leaned back, and pinched his neck, "Ming Dynasty, I think, I still have to tell you about my plans. for you have been able to stand beside me, and think what I think, and think about what I think."

Gu Mingchao buried his head in the mattress and nodded vigorously.

Xie Songzhao said softly: "Ming Dynasty, I mean if, if! If something bad happens to me in the north, will you resent anyone?"

Gu Mingchao was stunned for a moment, "Who can I blame? Resentment that Emperor Jiayou agreed to let you go to Northern Xinjiang, or did he complain that you didn't care about yourself? I can only resent myself for walking too slowly......

"I knew it...... Are you going to carry my life to the end?" Xie Songzhao touched his neck.

Gu Mingchao didn't speak, Xie Songzhao continued: "Ming Dynasty, you are now clinging to me, reluctant to let go, the root cause is that you haven't seen a broader world in your life, and you haven't seen enough people, and your life in recent years has been full of me......

Gu Ming raised his head and retorted firmly, "No, I have already seen heaven and earth before I met you, and after meeting you, you are heaven and earth." Xie Songzhao's hand on his neck seemed to be burned, and slowly retracted, Gu Mingchao added, "You taught me poetry and book etiquette, let me be reborn, without you, today's Gu Mingchao is already a white bone that no one has taken away."

Xie Songzhao said in fear: "Ming Dynasty, I am not a saint, just a layman, and I can't afford your words."

Gu Mingchao asked him rhetorically, "Then can the great truths you said soothe the scars of people's hearts?"

"I can't." Xie Songzhao closed his eyes.

Gu Mingchao looked at his thin body and said softly, "Yes, thousands of red dust can't pull a Xie Songzhao." z.br>

I don't know when the lights and candles in the dim room went out, Xie Song rolled up and down with his throat, "Ming Dynasty, your life has just begun, and in the next few decades, you will know more people, I am your master, I have already taught everything that should be taught."

Gu Mingchao got up and approached him slightly, "Xie Songzhao, look at me, my eyebrows and eyes are lowered, is it very similar to you."

Xie Songzhao raised his hand and pressed his shoulder to push him away, "It's not like, Gu Mingchao is Gu Mingchao, no one can turn you into someone else."

Gu Mingchao sneered, "Yes, you won't even directly accuse me of being ruthless when you know that I am ruthless, but take me with you over and over again to change me in a silent way, and tell me the way of a gentleman again and again. What kind of Gu Ming do you want?"

Xie Songzhao sighed, "Gu Mingchao. I never thought about what I wanted you to become, I thought that if you were gentle, you would be less troublesome." Seeing that he lowered his head and didn't speak, he could only reach out to his face, "Gu Mingchao, do you want to listen to what I am going to say next?"

"Listen." Gu Mingchao pressed his face against the mattress.

Xie Songzhao coughed, "At first, I wanted to use you as bait to hang the person behind me, and then I wanted to turn you into a sword in the prince's hand, but in the end I was reluctant, so I taught you how to do things and took you to meet different people, I wanted you to be you."

Gu Mingchao listened to it without a match, he was in the midst of these things, and he could feel the changes in his mood most directly. Xie Songzhao looks gentle, but in fact he is the most impatient person. But he would coax him when he pretended to be pitiful, and then he knew that Xie Songzhao regarded him as a family member......

"Ming Dynasty." Xie Songzhao called him.

"I'm listening. You said that you want me to accompany you to the north willingly, and then you must be able to accept the worst result and prepare calmly." Gu Mingchao held his head.

Xie Songzhao felt that his words were in vain, and patted him on the shoulder angrily, "Okay, don't learn to be stubborn."

Gu Mingchao put out the osmanthus cake, "Okay, let's eat it, I waited for a long time to buy it."

Xie Songzhao twisted it and enjoyed it slowly, Gu Mingchao took out a simple map from his sleeve and looked at it carefully, since he couldn't change it, he tried his best to help him.

Xie Song looked at the empty food box and said regretfully, "This is gone."

Gu Mingchao took the food box and was about to go out, Xie Song looked at Yutu and teased him, "Catch Ming'er, you go and learn one."

Gu Mingchao put down the food box and sat down, "Okay."

"Really?" Xie Songzhao was a little surprised.

Gu Mingchao nodded, "Do it yourself, it doesn't cost money, the Hou Mansion has no money, and you will be vegetarian in the future."

Xie Songzhao: "Huh? The two of us are not enough?"

Gu Mingchao looked at him sincerely, "Yes, it's so poor. Why don't you want to be a vegetarian?"

Xie Songzhao smiled again and again: "Don't dare, I will eat what you do, but this osmanthus cake is not easy to learn, do you really want to learn?"

Gu Mingchao bowed his head as if it was true or not, "It's too expensive to buy."

Xie Songzhao lay down comfortably, "Okay, listen to you, tomorrow we will leave for Northern Xinjiang."

"Okay." Gu Mingchao blew out the candle.

Tonight's northern Xinjiang is full of wind and snow, and the wolves in the shadows have opened their eyes and peeked at this snow country.
