Su Qi came back this time to mourn, Gu Yunji was still entangled in the first time he saw him, whether to say "long time no see" or "mourning and change", but when he really saw Su Qi, he found that he couldn't say anything.

The young man in front of him has changed a lot, but it is indeed a familiar appearance, a familiar voice, and it is undoubtedly confirmed that it is Su Qi. But somehow, he is a bit similar to the feeling of "being closer to home, more timid", the closer Su Qi is to him, the more he dare not recognize it.

The same is true for Cheng Yan.

The two still remembered the night when Su Qi went out overnight, they were so anxious that they didn't even have time to pack the package, and hurriedly took the holy decree to return to Beijing with Chu Jing.

Seeing that Gu Yunji and Cheng Yanpestle were stunned in place and did not react, Su Qi smiled helplessly, and simply stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the two of them: "What, you don't know me anymore?" ”

Gu Yunji suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed the hand in front of him, and his voice was dry and trembling: "...... Su Qi? ”

"It's me."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Yunji's eyes suddenly turned red, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't speak.

"Why haven't you seen each other for three years, and you still cry when you see each other? Just think of me? Su Qi originally meant to comfort, but the words he said were not beaten, "I am so worried about me, and I am not afraid that Mrs. Xu will be jealous." ”

Gu Yunji's tears that hadn't come out of it were forced back, and he reached out and punched him: "...... I don't care about you! It's been three years, and you haven't had two serious words in your mouth, right? That's what you did to your subordinates at the border? ”

"Of course not, you two are different from them."

Seeing that Gu Yunji's mood had adjusted, Su Qi raised a smile and looked the two up and down seriously, and said after a while: "I haven't seen you for three years, you ...... Are you okay? ”

"We should ask you that, right?" Cheng Yan sighed silently, looked into his eyes and said, "Are you okay, Su Qi?" ”

Different from the wealth and happiness of the capital, the bitter cold of northern Xinjiang, Su Qi is often accompanied by not fine wine and beautiful women, but hard training, wind and frost swords, and dangers that will come at any time.

Su Qi guarded the border for three years, and in the absence of a large-scale war, as the guard of Xuanfu Town, he did not mean that he could not hold on to the city for a long time. He had to deal with small groups of Tatar cavalry that could come to harass him at any time, train his army to improve their combat effectiveness, carry out daily patrols and guards, and provide security for the people and traders on the border.

And if necessary, he also needs to go deep into the enemy camp, sign peace agreements with the Tatar tribal leaders or threaten each other to warn each other, and if he is not careful, he may lose his life. How difficult it is in this, even if Su Qi himself doesn't say it, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan can guess it.

What's more, Su Qi is the only son in the family, lost his mother at an early age, and has no brothers and sisters.

At this moment, in front of Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, Su Qi did not mention the grief of hearing the bad news of his father's death for the first time, nor did he mention the fatigue and sadness on the way back to Beijing, he just hid all his emotions in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed: "Of course I am fine." After all, sooner or later, there will be this experience, the old man's health is not a day or two, I am mentally prepared. ”

"Those who should have wept have wept, and the tears that should have been shed have dried up, and people must always look forward. When I'm done with my dad, it's time for me to move on. ”

The more Su Qi pretended not to care, the more uncomfortable Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan became, and the two of them felt sour when they heard it, but they didn't know what to say, so they could only be silent.

Seeing that the two of them were in a heavy mood, Su Qi climbed on their shoulders left and right, and comforted: "What are you doing with your face drooping?" Not happy to see me? Everything should be thought of for the good, although I am a military general, I don't have to worry about it for three years like a civil official, but I still have 100 days of bereavement leave when I come back, and I can stay with you until April next year, just so that we can get together."

Seeing Su Qi was naturally happy, but the reunion of the three of them was at the expense of the death of Dingguo Gong, when they thought of this, no matter how happy they were, they became unhappy, and the two of them really couldn't laugh.

Saying that, Su Qi thought of something again, and looked at Cheng Yan: "By the way, is your marriage to Sister Yunji in March next year?" ”

Cheng Yan nodded: "Yes, it is preliminarily determined to be on the tenth day of March next year." ”

"That's just right, although I can't go to your wedding, but it's not bad to be able to see you get married." Su Qi's tone became brisk, "I didn't catch up with the title of the two of you on the gold list, and I didn't catch up with Yun Ji to get married and give birth to a child, but now I finally let me catch up." ”

Su Qi deliberately didn't mention the sad thing, so Gu Yunji didn't reveal his scars, and said with a smile: "But isn't it, Xi'er knows that he has a godfather who is a general outside, and he is famous in all directions, and he always sends her all kinds of gifts, but I haven't seen it." ”

"A few days ago, I heard that you were coming back, I was very excited, and I was clamoring to come to the city gate to pick you up, and I persuaded Shuhua for a long time to persuade her to stop. I can't wait for a long time, why don't you go to my house to meet your goddaughter? ”

Su Qi's eyes lit up first, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, I'm going to go to the palace first, and I'll go when I'm free another day." ”

"I don't have to change the day." Cheng Yan smiled and said meaningfully, "If you want me to say, it's better for you to go to Yunji's house now." ”

——

In the imperial study, as soon as Emperor Jingfeng and Li Rui, the king of Zhao, finished making a bet, Ning Fuhai came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Su Qisu, the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, is here and is waiting in the Wuying Palace." ”

Emperor Jingfeng smiled when he heard this, and said a little proudly: "Look, what am I talking about?" Compared with the snub monarch, even if Su Qi bears the name of the emperor's disgrace, he will come to see me first. ”

Li Rui stood up and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "The younger brother lost, and sure enough, His Majesty knows General Su better." ”

Emperor Jingfeng was in a good mood, and said to Li Rui: "Su Qi has been in a hurry for days, and he is wearing a heavy armor, I think he is extremely tired, I won't let him wait for a long time, so I will go to see him." You go back first, you don't have to wait for me. ”

Li Rui responded: "Yes." ”

Ning Fuhai's face hesitated when he heard this, hesitated for a while, and still said, "...... Your Majesty, General Su came over after bathing and changing clothes. ”

Emperor Jingfeng's movements froze: "Bathing and changing clothes?" Could it be ...... He went back to the Su family directly, and would rather not wear filial piety clothes than enter the palace? ”

Ning Fuhai buried his head lower and said cautiously: "It's not ...... It is said that he first went to Hanlin to edit Gu Yunji's house to bathe and rest before entering the palace. ”

"Hanlin edited Gu Yunji?"

Emperor Jingfeng's eyes were cold, and he smiled coldly: "It's bathing and resting, I don't know when he, a military general on the border, got so close to the upstarts in the imperial examination in the court?" ”
