Chapter 182: Ambiguous
"Still not sleeping?"
Closed the door curtain, the hustle and bustle of the shop in front was cut off, and in the small patio, Tsundere Lori held her chin and looked at the sky blankly, snatching the position of the original small ring.
Hearing this familiar warm voice, Xu Miaojin blinked her big eyes and swept over gently, her face was a little lighter, her chin became more and more pointed, like a beautiful doll, but her expression was a little too melancholy: "It's you... I can't sleep. ”
I didn't understand why little girls like to sit at the mouth of the well in a dazeGu Huai stretched out his hand to touch Xu Miaojin's forehead, and only after a while did he realize that his illness had been cured for some days, and this action was too Meng Lang: "Are you homesick?" ”
I can only be homesick... Like the previous heart disease, it made the originally carefree girl become like this.
Gu Huai's action of retracting his hand was reflected in Xu Miaojin's eyes, and she gently pressed it up, letting that hand cover her forehead: "A little." ”
The skin was very cold, like the cold well water in the patio, Gu Huai's face remained unchanged, and he patted her head: "Only a little? ”
He sat down next to Tsundere Lori: "Since you want to, write a letter back." ”
"I don't want it, if I let my eldest brother know..."
"It's not for Wei Guogong, it's for the Metropolitan Governor," the night fell and Gu Huai's face couldn't be seen clearly, "The Metropolitan Governor... Still writing letters. ”
Xu Miaojin's expression was even darker: "I guessed." ”
"The Metropolitan Governor is very affectionate, and it's not surprising that he has such a move," Gu Huai sighed, "But now it's different from before... In the past, the imperial court wanted to cut the domain, and it was normal for the governor to pass on some news for the prince to take precautions; But now that the prince has raised troops and is in trouble, most of the governors are in charge of the world's soldiers and horses in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and if they report again, they will be known by the imperial court..."
It's been a while... Since Xu Miaojin recovered from her illness, Gu Huai has been avoiding her a little, probably because she was afraid of being asked about it.
Sending a message to the feudal king who rebelled is no different from rebellion, if Zhu Yunwen who was sitting on the dragon chair knew, maybe it would not affect the Zhongshan Palace, after all, Xu Huizu's attitude was there, but Xu Zengshou...
The hearty figure without a frame appeared in Gu Huai's mind, probably because he hadn't seen many faces, and Gu Huai was most impressed by the appearance of him squatting by the river with himself to watch the Zhongshan Palace.
Such a good person, he shouldn't be damned.
Xu Miaojin came back to her senses, and the worry on her face could no longer be hidden: "I'm going to write a letter... Can you send it for me? ”
Also, the current tsundere Lori is hidden in Gu Huai's small shop, and she usually doesn't go out of the door, so there's really no way to send a letter.
Gu Huai nodded: "Yes, but are you sure you won't go back to the palace?" ”
He rubbed his eyebrows: "It's been more than half a month... I was stunned when I saw the princess now, thanks to the prince who said a lot of good things, plus the war was urgent, the princess was also busy contacting the noblewomen of Beiping to appease the people, so she didn't trouble me... But the Yan Wangfu is like this now, and the prince and princess also know that you are in Beiping, or you..."
Like the last straw that crushed the camel, Xu Miaojin quickly completed a series of actions with a pouted mouth and eyebrows and tears: "You don't want me anymore..."
If Princess Yan heard this, Gu Huai Kezhen would not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River, and he couldn't cry or laugh: "What are these words?" ”
"When we came back from Jinling, you were gentle all the way, and you told me stories to make me happy," Tsundere Lori wiped her tears, "You have been taking care of me when I am sick, and you have coaxed me to sleep, but when I got sick in Beiping, you have been avoiding me, and I dare not go out, and Xiaohuan does not dare to talk to me, so I am alone..."
"It's not that you can't go out for a walk, there are guards and secret spies outside, they don't usually appear, but they are all guarded."
"Why don't you accompany me?"
This tone was too ambiguous, Gu Huai was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.
Wrong... I can't say there's anything wrong, but it just feels weird.
He stood up: "Another day... I'll sort out the paperwork, and when your letter is written, put it on the table, and I'll send it. ”
So there was only Tsundere Lori left in the patio, she looked at the figure in green shirt who fled in the desert, rubbed her eyes, and stuck out her tongue:
"Coward!"
……
The turbulent Yellow River rushed to the north, and Geng Bingwen, who was wearing light armor, stopped to look into the distance, only to feel that the stuffiness in his chest had finally dissipated when he came out of Jinling all the way.
At this time, the Yellow River was very lively, the wharf ferries on both sides of the river were busy, and the heroic soldiers of the imperial court were being transported across the Yellow River to the river, then through Baoding, and finally stationed in Zhending Mansion, looking at Beiping, which had fallen into the enemy's hands.
Thinking of His Majesty's previous inscription in the Zongmiao to worship the heavens, as well as the earnest entrustment outside the city, Geng Bingwen clenched the reins of the horse, it seems that this time... The imperial court is really in a hurry.
The group of people in the military department showed unprecedented efficiency, more than 200,000 troops, tens of thousands of people, this scale, it only took a few days to complete the deployment and recruitment, if it was not for the fact that only 130,000 troops could be brought from Jinling, if it were not for the army north of the Yellow River that needed time to assemble and integrate, he Geng Bingwen would be able to take advantage of Zhu Di's lack of preparation at this moment to press the army on Beiping's face.
But this pride quickly receded, no... can't be in a hurry, he hasn't fought with Zhu Di in person, he can't gamble with these things, Zhu Di is a gambler, but he Geng Bingwen is not, it should be Zhu Di who is in a hurry at the moment, not him, he can make many mistakes, but Zhu Di can't once.
This is the advantage of the imperial court standing behind it.
In addition to the soldiers, the ordnance and grain and grass also need to be transferred, this is not something that can be completed in a day or two, with Geng Bingwen's identity, he didn't have to come and watch in person, but if he didn't take a look, he was really not at ease.
Geng Bingwen went through two dynasties, followed Emperor Taizu all the way to war, and thought that he could survive the turmoil after the founding of the country, the biggest reason is that he can judge the situation.
He has never touched the errand of the Northern Expedition, the credit for the destruction of the Northern Yuan, and the matter of factions standing in line.
So so many people died, and yet he was still alive.
He's sixty-five years old... What is this kind of errand for him, not flying into trouble?
If you win, you won't have much ink in the history books, but if you lose...
He remembered the words that the young emperor was outside Jinling City, patted his hand gently, and said softly: "Old general, don't make me bear the name of killing my uncle!" ”
The meaning is very clear, I don't want to see the living Zhu Di arrested in Jinling.
That's easy to do, just let Zhu Di die on the battlefield.
Maybe it was an inadvertent knife from some creep, or maybe it was a spear wielded by a cavalryman while charging.
Then he returned to the court, was reprimanded by the young emperor, and was accused by the court officials of framing His Majesty for injustice, and the reward that should have been cut down, and he might even be punished for it, and he was only slightly compensated afterwards.
He knows... He also understands that this black cauldron can't be avoided.
The wrinkles on his face deepened.
