Gu Tingyu rode his horse, he rode his horse and galloped between the mountains and forests, and the sound of the wind whistling in his ears made Gu Tingyu feel happy.

When they arrived in the northwest, it was already the next morning, and as soon as he arrived in the northwest, he saw that the atmosphere in the northwest was not very good.

Gu Tingyu turned over and dismounted, led the horse, and slowly walked to the open space next to his tent.

Gu Tingxuan had already led everyone to line up there, and when they saw Gu Tingyu coming, they all shouted: "Big brother." ”

Gu Tingyu glanced at them, ignored them, and walked straight towards his big tent.

"Big brother, wait for us, we haven't practiced riding and archery for a long time, let's practice tonight." Gu Tingxuan followed Gu Tingyu into the big tent.

Gu Tingyu lifted the curtain, walked in, and sat on the main seat.

Gu Tingxuan was on the left, and on the right was a middle-aged man in gray cloth clothes, Gu Tingyu looked at this person's clothes, and immediately frowned.

"Big brother, I heard my father say that your mission in the northwest this time is to train the army in the northwest, so I spent a lot of money on food and drink along the way, and you can't take the money for nothing." Gu Tingxuan said with a smile.

Gu Tingyu snorted coldly and said, "Then you can enjoy these last days, do you think His Majesty the Emperor will let you stay in the northwest for a few months?" ”

The smile on Gu Tingxuan's face gradually dissipated.

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?" Gu Tingxuan asked in surprise.

Gu Tingyu sneered and said: "Do you think what I am here for, I just gave the holy decree, now that the holy decree has been sent to the northwest, and the victims of the disaster in the northwest are still waiting for relief, how can I delay?" ”

"However, didn't the emperor say that after you come to the northwest, he will reward you and let you be promoted?" Gu Tingxuan asked.

"Promotion? Which official is promoted, I fought abroad, not only did I not get any benefits, but I lost my soldiers and generals, do you think the emperor will believe it? Gu Tingyu said sarcastically.

Gu Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "I said big brother, you can't say that, this time you came to the northwest to have merit, we all know that you have made a great contribution this time." ”

"Merit?" Gu Tingyu shook his head, "I'm not uncommon for any credit, as long as my relatives can be safe, that's enough." ”

"Big brother, you can't talk nonsense, if someone else hears it, you'll lose your head." Gu Tingxuan warned.

Gu Tingyu ignored him and continued: "Okay, I still have to prepare, and I will set off tomorrow, and you can do it yourself." With that, he turned and left.

Gu Tingxuan stood in place, looking at his eldest brother's back, his face gloomy.

The news that Gu Tingyu had just arrived in the northwest spread throughout the entire northwest in an instant.

Gu Mansion.

As soon as Gu Tingyu stepped into his room, the old lady walked out of the inner room, "Why did you come back so late." ”

"Mother, why are you up, the child is coming back late, and I ask the mother to punish you." Gu Tingyu knelt on the ground and sincerely admitted his mistake.

The old lady helped Gu Tingyu and said, "Get up, your father said that if you come back from this trip, you should stay here, so that we can take care of your injuries at any time." ”

"The child obeys."

Although Gu Tingyu said that he came to the northwest, he still had 100,000 troops under his hands, he didn't dare to be careless, he had to find out the situation in the northwest to be able to find the loopholes in the northwest, and then expand the loopholes in order to break through the northwest.

The purpose of Gu Tingyu's return this time is not only to exterminate the rebels in the northwest, but more importantly, to take the northwest into his own hands, only in this way can he return to the palace and ask the emperor for credit.

……

Thinking of the cold frost far away in the capital, a faint smile hung on the corner of Gu Tingyu's mouth.

In this life, he will never allow Leng Shuang to be wronged a little more, even if he dies, he will not give up on her.

Gu Tingyu regained his thoughts, and he began to carefully observe the terrain around the northwest.

Gu Tingyu has been in the northwest for several days, and he knows the situation in the northwest better, and he is secretly thinking in his heart how to minimize the loss and at the same time firmly control the northwest in his hands.

Gu Tingyu has been in the northwest for two months, and during these two months, in addition to training soldiers every day, Gu Tingyu discussed military affairs with the generals and formulated a defense plan for the northwest.

The generals in the northwest basically agreed with the defensive plan proposed by Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu brought back an elite division of 50,000 people this time, but he brought back more than 1,000 prisoners, and the rest were all buried in the northwest.

Gu Tingyu stayed in the northwest for two days, his injuries were almost healed, his physical fitness was very strong, so he recovered very quickly, and after two days, he could walk on the ground.

Gu Tingyu also has a house of his own in the northwest, but because of the cold frost, he did not choose to return to his own house to live, but chose to live in the barracks.

The military camp is under the jurisdiction of Gu Tingxuan, on the third night of Gu Tingyu's coming to the northwest, he was asleep, and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the window, he immediately woke up, opened his eyes wide, looked around, and found that the house was pitch black, it should be not dawn yet.

Gu Tingyu coughed lightly, and then slowly said, "Who?" ”

"It's me, my lord." A deep, deep voice sounded.

Gu Tingyu was stunned, he had an excellent memory, this was his familiar voice.

During this time, he sent a lot of people to search, and finally found the trace of this person, he immediately turned over and got out of bed, opened the window, and jumped from the roof.

"You're finally willing to show up." Gu Tingyu looked at the man in front of him and said, "I'm still worried that you ran away." ”

Gu Tingyu's tone was full of disdain, obviously not looking at this man in his eyes.

The man's appearance looks very young, he is dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, he is tall and tall, and he looks handsome, especially his phoenix eyes, which reveal a kind of fierceness when looking at people.

"After this battle, I'm afraid you will also follow me to the capital." Gu Tingyu seemed to be asking, and it was like taking an oath.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, since you are our benefactor, then I will definitely repay you." ”

Gu Tingyu snorted coldly: "What do I want you to repay, you are just a fugitive slave, I help you because you are worthy of help, I hope you can truly reform yourself, I don't ask you to serve the court, but I hope you can protect the people from the invasion of war." ”

When the man heard Gu Tingyu say this, his face became solemn, he took a deep breath, and then said, "Lord Wang, I don't know who you are?" But I know that you are a good man, and I am grateful that you are willing to take the risk to come to the Northwest for the sake of us fugitive slaves. ”

Gu Tingyu patted the man's shoulder and said, "I'm a good person? Haha, you really put gold on your face, you are a fugitive slave, you are a criminal, how can you be a good person? ”

"Then why are you helping me now, is it because you and I have had some intersections?"

"I had an intersection before, but now I don't want to have anything to do with you, I came to the northwest this time to eradicate the bandits in the northwest, if you are interested, you will obediently return to my Great Qi country, I can spare the lives of you people, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Gu Tingyu said indifferently.

"No, I will never surrender to you." The man said categorically.

"Then I advise you to think clearly, this war is going to break out sooner or later, if you are obsessed, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Gu Tingyu's tone became colder and colder.

After Gu Tingyu said this, he turned around and returned to the table directly, picked up the pen, quickly drew a few drawings, and then handed it to the man and said, "You go and build the city wall according to this method, and when you finish the city wall, I will tell you what I need to do." ”

The man looked at the drawings handed to him by Gu Tingyu, frowned and looked at them for a long time, "I don't understand this thing." ”

"I'll teach you." Gu Tingyu picked up the drawings, and then patiently explained the construction of the city wall, and the man suddenly realized after listening.

He glanced up at Gu Tingyu and found that Gu Tingyu had closed his eyes at this time, obviously tired.

Gu Tingyu hasn't seen Leng Shuang these days, not because of anything else, but because Leng Shuang doesn't want to see him at all.

Gu Tingyu didn't know what was wrong with him, obviously Lengshuang was so cold to him, but Gu Tingyu still couldn't help but pay attention to Lengshuang.

Cold Frost's current state is indeed very bad, she is sad every day, and she doesn't even eat well.

In the past few days, she has also heard the news, and heard that Gu Tingyu has been transferred to the northwest, and it is to quell the chaos, she is even more worried, she knows that this matter is inseparable from herself, if it were not for her reasons, Gu Tingyu would not have taken risks here.

Leng Shuang's mind couldn't help but appear Gu Tingyu's shadow, this man is really too good, he has become such a big official in such a short time, he is the pride of the sky, and he is not worthy of him at all.

Leng Shuang thought more than once that if he hadn't married Gu Tingyu, maybe the current ending would have been completely different.

Thinking of Gu Tingyu, Leng Shuang couldn't help but sigh, Gu Tingyu is a very gentle person, he is the kind of person who looks cold, but he is very kind, she knows that if Gu Tingyu married herself, maybe their children can call themselves mothers, and they will not have only one daughter like now.

Thinking of this, Leng Shuang's tears flowed involuntarily.

She doesn't know if she will have a chance to renew her relationship with Gu Tingyu in her life, and she doesn't know if she can leave anything for Gu Tingyu?

Cold Frost wiped the tears from his eyes, then got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

This meal was prepared very richly, after all, it was in the northwest, what delicious food could be eaten, and she had just come to the northwest, although she said that she had her own industry, but there was no money in her hand, so she decided to buy food with all the money she had saved, and then put it in her own space to store it.

Keeping this food in the space can not only ensure that you and your children do not go hungry, but also help more victims, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

She had been walking around the neighborhood for the past few days, and the village, though poor, was well organized and free of chaos, a sight she had never seen before.

"Cold Frost, what are you busy with?" Gu Tingyu walked in from outside, carrying two bottles of wine in his hands.

Leng Shuang smiled and said, "Oh, I don't have anything, I just make something to eat." ”

"I'll take a hand, too." Gu Tingyu put the wine and food on the table.

Leng Shuang looked at the food on the table and frowned slightly, she knew that this man was not such an easily satisfied person, he wanted more.

Sure enough, in the next second, the man said, "These dishes are all made by you and yourself, can I eat them?" ”

The man's gaze was fixed on the food on the table, with a hint of greed.

Leng Shuang looked at the man, and then said lightly: "You can eat it, but there are only five bowls of rice, and you can solve the rest by yourself." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately picked up his rice bowl and devoured it.
