The moonlight is pleasant.

The racecourse on Whampoa Beach is actually quite rudimentary, with the racetrack only surrounded by a ring of green grass, not much shelter on all sides, and only a simple grandstand on the east side.

Walking on the dirt and gravel road next to the racecourse, this dirt and gravel road is called "road" because foreigners often rush out of the track due to the narrow field during the race. It is said that the term "road" in Japan is also derived from this.

Not far away, the magnificent sea has an unobstructed view, the waves are rolling, and the bright moonlight is shrouded, as if the poem "The sea rises and the moon rises, and the end of the world is at this time".

Gu Yongyuan strode forward with vigor, Lin Wanxue beside him was wearing a black dress with shiny black leather shoes, this classical beauty was dressed as a handsome young man, but her every move still exuded a charming charm, which made people feel infinite reverie.

With the affection of never giving up, Lin Wanxue is already extremely bored in the house now, so Xiao Slippery suddenly came to ask her to go out to "run errands" together. She naturally readily agreed and changed into men's clothes, but she didn't expect that all the originally planned rhetoric of her departure was useless.

Looking at Lin Wanxue, Gu Yongyuan said with a smile: "It's really beautiful to wear men's clothes, I think you will wear more men's clothes in the future." It is also convenient to enter and exit in this way, and even if you return to Guangxi, you can prepare a set of military uniforms as a female general. Besides, your subordinates should also have uniform uniforms that can unite people's hearts. A loose peasant army had no future. ”

"Your Book from Heaven has all these contents!" Lin Wanxue interrupted him, and after putting on men's clothes, it seemed more natural to walk side by side with Xiao Slippery.

"Are you laughing at me? I'm going to deduct your wages later! Gu Yongyuan was about to glare at her, but as the words progressed, his confidence became less and less, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Regarding Gu Yongyuan's unscrupulous words, Lin Wanxue felt both helpless and a little numb. When she learns that Little Slippery is not an accomplice of the Tartars, she no longer has the same aversion to these minor problems as before.

Moreover, Lin Wanxue suddenly glared at Gu Yongyuan and asked, "Hey, what did you say to my brother?" ”

At dinner, Boss Lin invited her over and gave her a serious lesson about her brother as a father. Just when Lin Wanxue was puzzled, Boss Lin revealed the mystery, he had decided to marry her to Xiao Slippery, and the dowry had been completed. Although it is the status of the side room, it is still considered to be a Ming media marriage. No matter how you look at it, you are widowed after all, and Gu Gongzi is a capable person, so becoming a side room is not a grievance against you. And the wedding date has been set, just ten days later.

Lin Wanxue was furious, almost quarreling with her brother on the spot, and was about to settle accounts with Gu Yongyuan, but she didn't expect him to take the lead in bringing up this topic.

Gu Yongyuan already had a way to deal with it, and said with a smile: "Just like I said before, we can name husband and wife, although the ceremony can be avoided, but there must be an explanation." So, after ten days, you'll have an official name. Don't worry, the relationship between us won't change much, but without this title, how can you be regarded as your Gu family? And you brought it up first to marry me, will you regret it? I've already found a matchmaker, the old master. ”

Lin Wanxue snorted coldly: "I originally thought of killing you. ”

Gu Yongyuan was stunned, but then said indifferently: "Whatever, kill if you want to kill anyway." ”

Lin Wanxue glanced at him, and then stopped talking.

The two fell silent, silently walking on the dirt road by the beach.

As the night deepened, there were no pedestrians in sight, and a few figures could be vaguely seen on the beach in the distance, but it was impossible to tell what they were doing.

"Actually, I'm Prince Yong's elder brother, but as long as you remember that my name is Gu Yongyuan." After walking for a while, Gu Yongyuan finally revealed his identity. After all, sooner or later, she would know, and it was better for him to say it himself.

Although Lin Wanxue had already guessed that Gu Yongyuan was a Manchurian nobleman, when he admitted it in person, somehow, she suddenly felt lost in her heart.

Suddenly, Gu Yongyuan laughed: "Although I am a Manchurian, I am a good Manchurian. Moreover, I have never considered myself a Manchurian. It seemed to know what Lin Wanxue was thinking.

"Good Manchurians?" Lin Wanxue couldn't cry or laugh, she really didn't know how to evaluate this guy.

Gu Yongyuan sighed, and then said: "There will always be many helpless ...... in life" He was about to continue, but Lin Wanxue pulled his sleeve, and she made a silent gesture, motioning him to look in the direction she was pointing. I saw six or seven figures walking on the beach, and gradually approached, only to see that they were wearing the costumes of regimental training, presumably the troops besieging the county seat of Shanghai.

"Phew, this rabbit is really handsome." The leading fat group Lian stared at Lin Wanxue, with sparks flashing in his eyes.

The eyes of several other group practitioners fell greedily on Gu Yongyuan's hands, and those emerald green jade rings were not ordinary items at a glance.

"Bold! I'm the Imperial Court! Whose subordinates are you? Get out of the way now, or you'll be punished before the tent of Kirhanga!" Gu Yongyuan realized that the military discipline of the Qing army was corrupt, and these regimental bravery were even more unpredictable, so he did not hesitate to report his identity.

"What imperial court? Why haven't I heard that a messenger is coming? Who do you think you can scare? The leading fat group walked in front with a smile, and the other people formed a semi-encircled posture.

Even if he hadn't experienced this kind of scene, Gu Yongyuan understood that the situation was not good. He secretly rejoiced in his heart that the security in the concession was relatively good, but at the same time he regretted that he did not bring the Goshkha guards. However, if you bring the guards, it will be inconvenient to communicate with Lin Wanxue. Who knew that these gangsters would be encountered.

At this moment, Xiang Yong, who was walking at the end, suddenly raised his shotgun and made a "bang" sound, and Gu Yongyuan felt that he was pushed away by a force. It turned out that Lin Wanxue pushed him away, and although serious injuries were avoided, his arm was still grazed by the projectile.

In an instant, Gu Yongyuan's gaze quickly swept over the scene, and when he saw Lin Wanxue stepping in front of Fat Tuanyong, her wrist was instantly raised, directly hitting Fat Tuanyong's throat. Fat Tuan Yong let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground, the steel knife in his hand had been snatched by Lin Wanxue, and then, the knife light flickered, and the throats of several other villagers were slashed, blood gushed out, and they fell to the ground. The two villagers in the distance saw that the situation was not good and fled.

Gu Yongyuan shouted without hesitation: "Don't leave a living mouth!" ”

Lin Wanxue was slightly stunned, but then she raised her hand, and a revolver appeared in her hand. This was given to her by Gu Yongyuan, but she didn't expect her to carry it with her.

After a few gunshots, the two fleeing villagers also fell to the ground. Lin Wanxue stepped forward to confirm to make sure they had no breath.

"Let's go!" Gu Yongyuan stood up, he didn't care about the bleeding on his arm, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. If foreigners see him killing Tuan Yong, it will be a big blow to his image. In addition, Gu Yongyuan has also felt that this incident may have a huge impact.

Lin Wanxue didn't know Gu Yongyuan's inner considerations, she hesitated slightly, then tore a piece of cloth from Xiang Yong's clothes with a steel knife, quickly caught up with Gu Yongyuan, and helped him bandage his wounds.

...

When entering the side gate of the gatehouse, the Goshha soldiers next to the gatehouse hurriedly bowed and saluted, not noticing that Lord Chincha was injured.

Back on the second floor of the bedroom, Lin Wanxue quickly treated Gu Yongyuan's wounds, and he sat on a round stool with red sandalwood five-legged jade inlay. Seeing Gu Yongyuan's grinning appearance, Lin Wanxue couldn't help laughing.

"Don't tell anyone about today." As soon as Gu Yongyuan finished speaking, he was startled by the pain in the treatment of the wound, it was Lin Wanxue who touched the wound when she was tying the bandage.

"Can't even the eldest brother say it?" Lin Wanxue carefully put down Gu Yongyuan's rolled up sleeves and asked, worried that he would grin again because of the pain.

"If you can, don't say it." Gu Yongyuan groaned and said, "The less people know, the less risk of leakage." His heart suddenly moved, and he felt that Lin Wanxue seemed to be like-minded with him, even closer than her own brother.

Lin Wanxue nodded, obviously agreeing with Gu Yongyuan's opinion. Gu Yongyuan's mood became more and more cheerful.

Lin Wanxue suddenly pointed to something to the side and asked, "This is a camera, right?" The first time she entered Gu Yongyuan's bedroom, she found a strange tripod supporting a small wooden box, the exterior of which was painted with red lacquer and gold.

Gu Yongyuan was taken aback, thinking that Lin Wanxue had suddenly traveled to this era. Then he remembered the book's description of modern Western technology and realized that she might have seen a lot about it.

"Yes, it's a camera. We'll be able to take a few wedding photos later. Gu Yongyuan said with a smile. The camera was borrowed from Boulder's lawyer, who wanted to use his free time to take some photos as a souvenir.

Lin Wanxue didn't seem to hear what he said clearly, and turned to look in the other direction: "I'm frightened today, rest early, I'm leaving." ”

"Okay, I'll call you if I need help." Gu Yongyuan said with a smile.

Lin Wanxue nodded, although she was wearing men's clothes, her demeanor was still graceful. Under the tuxedo, her light waist swings to show the perfect combination of classical beauty and modern style. Gu Yongyuan fell into admiration for her, and it wasn't until her back disappeared that he shook his head, thinking that he was really useless.

He pondered tonight's events and realized that this might be blamed on the foreigners, thus exacerbating the contradictions between the Qing army and the foreigners in the concession. But he's also thinking about how he can benefit from it.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted into his nose, he turned his head to look, and found Lin Wanxue coming in again, holding a soup plate with a bowl of fragrant crucian carp soup, the soup base was milky white, and the fish was floating with emerald green leaves, which looked very attractive.

"Drink some soup, there is a lot of blood, crucian carp soup is very helpful for recovery. You need to work your arm, right? Lin Wanxue put the soup plate on the sandalwood table beside Gu Yongyuan.

Although his left hand was injured, it did not affect him to eat with his right hand. He picked up the white jade spoon, scooped a mouthful of crucian carp soup and put it in his mouth, and then immediately let out an exclamation, and was so hot that he gasped.

Lin Wanxue's big eyes looked at him watery, and she said helplessly: "I thought you were a prince, how can you eat so unstable?" Like a little monkey. ”

It's not the first time that Gu Yongyuan has lost face in front of Lin Wanxue, but he has already cultivated an iron face, so he doesn't care about it, and smiles humorously: "That's it, there are no rules." However, with the support of so many gentlemen, the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty will definitely succeed! ”

Lin Wanxue glared at him, "Look, can't you say something serious?" ”

Gu Yongyuan sighed helplessly, "Okay, then I won't call you 'wife' in the future." ”

"Change it back in ten days!" Gu Yongyuan's words made Lin Wanxue a little annoyed, she stretched out her white and tender little hand and gave him a burst of chest.

Gu Yongyuan was stunned for a moment, and Lin Wanxue also stopped, this action was a little too intimate.

Gu Yongyuan then sighed faintly, "You dare to beat your husband, it seems that I have to punish you to go back to your mother's house to learn the three obedience and four virtues!" ”

Lin Wanxue chuckled: "Can't I discipline my 'younger brother'?" ”

Gu Yongyuan nodded: "Okay, forgive you today, but don't do it again in the future." ”

In their conversation, it seems that Lin Wanxue acquiesced to Gu Yongyuan as her husband. She said that "disciplining my brother" was just to explain that she had just beaten her "husband".

Lin Wanxue knew that it was useless to talk too much with this playful young master, but it was rare to chat with him so easily. In the Red Flower Society, everyone respected her and respected her, and no one dared to be rude to her. But in front of Gu Yongyuan, she seems to be able to become normal, just like a different person, no longer the terrifying female general who commands thousands of armies, but an ordinary woman who is loved and pitied by others.

"Wife, I'm going to feed you?" Sure enough, looking at the way he is now smiling, it seems that he doesn't take my identity seriously at all.

"Don't forget it, wife. Today we went to a place called the racetrack, which is used for horse racing. I have heard that the French consul has a good horse, and I will try to get it for you. This is the best horse in the world, only my husband is worthy of riding, so that they also know what it means to be talented. ”

Gu Yongyuan had been nagging, and although Lin Wanxue didn't pay much attention to him, she had been looking at him quietly, as if she was pondering something.
