Gu Wan asked him, "Do you want any gifts?"

At that time, he was still stunned, and he was stunned for a while: "...... I want to cook you a meal. "

He didn't really want anything. So I thought, "Cook me a meal." It's okay for a family to get together for a meal. But the thought flashed, but he felt that it was inappropriate, he shouldn't have instructed Gu Wan to cook for him, so when it came to the tip of his tongue, it became made for her to eat.

That's how it goes.

Gu Wan laughed, leaned forward and closed, and when she saw Xie Ci's embarrassment of wanting to bite her tongue off, she laughed even louder. "Let's go, let's cook!"

After slapping the table and laughing, Gu Wan stood up and went to the small kitchen of the inn with Xie Ci.

The horn wind lamp on the eaves of the corridor flickered, laying a layer of yellowish warm lamps on the creaking wooden hallway, and the two walked through the courtyard to the small kitchen in the northwest corner after a long quiet night.

Gu Wan asked for an upper room this time, and the courtyard was equipped with a kitchenette and fresh rice, noodles, and meat dishes, which could be used by guests. Most of the guests in this courtyard are staying with servants and maids, but not tonight, the moonlight is as cool as water, and the courtyard is quiet.

Gu Wan pulled Xie Ci into the small kitchen, lit the light, Xie Ci rolled up his sleeves to help, but was stopped by her, she smiled and said, Shou Xinggong doesn't have to work, you have a day off today.

Xie Ci was arranged to sit on a small stool, watched Gu Wan compare a large kitchen knife, and began to brush the pot, wash the vegetables, knead the dough and cut the meat. Gu Guan's cooking skills are actually good, after graduating from his last life, he lived alone and had stomach problems, and he came out after practicing his skills.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the sound of the "tuk tuk tuk" kitchen knife falling on the board was light and fast, "zila" with an oil sound, the smell of burnt sauce, Gu Guan fired a small pot of fragrant sauce meat on the outside and tender on the inside, and cut the dough into shreds, lay two eggs on it, and sprinkled with green onions.

It didn't take long for three dishes and one soup to be prepared, and a bowl of hot longevity noodles was served on a small table. There was also wine in the kitchen, and Gu Wan tasted it as sorghum wine, which was considered vegetarian wine, so he also took a gourd out.

A small bucket room, a yellow lamp, two people sitting around a small square table with the residual temperature of the stove, Xie Ci originally thought that he would not like the thick red sauce of the pork meat, but put a slice into his mouth, the slightly spicy burnt aroma and the rich taste of the sauce meat instantly burst on the tip of the tongue, his taste buds were activated in an instant, his appetite was great, and he suddenly gave birth to a strong desire to eat.

The whole person is like returning to the hustle and bustle of the world from cold hatred and hurried around all at once.

Xie Ci lowered his head and put his face in his mouth, the coldness between his eyebrows faded under the dim light, and the warmth on his face seemed to be still given to her under the majestic rain

The innocent boy who handed the bun.

Gu Wan finished eating her small bowl of noodles, put down her chopsticks, smiled and looked at the thank you for eating seriously for a moment, she asked him, "Little Si, do you have any wishes?" I heard that today's wish will come true!"

Are you sure?

Xie Ci raised his head and stared at the lights for a long time, he put down his chopsticks, closed his eyes and prayed seriously: Today, Xie Ci has nothing else to ask for, but I hope that my family is safe, and my father and brother can rest in peace under Jiuquan.

He prayed three times seriously, Gu Wan poured three bowls of wine, and the two of them poured one bowl on the ground, then picked up the vegetarian wine and touched it, and drank it all.

The sorghum wine is not low, a bowl of drinking it down, the head, face and ears began to heat up, Xie Ci swept away the dishes on the square table, the two got up and went back to the room, along the half-open wooden corridor to the end of the stairs, the cold wind blew, the cheeks were cold and hot, Xie Ci felt guilty: "I haven't given you a birthday." Gu Guanxin said that I had forgotten, after all, it was not her birthday, and she said, "How do you spend it in the Governor's Palace?"

He shut up and asked Gu Guan, "What about you?"

"Guan Niang, what do you want?"

"What do I want?"

Tonight, the moon and stars are bright, and the stars in the sky are twinkling in the cold wind, Gu Wan turned his head sideways and thought about it, "Lang Lang blue sky, peaceful and prosperous times?"

After she finished speaking, she laughed, mainly because the DNA of the police academy person moved, conditioned reflex, and she said so, and she felt funny after speaking: "Isn't it hypocritical, very fake and empty?"

It's red and specialized, it's over, she's been brainwashed.

The wind lifted her and she distributed, she laughed, the laughter flew with the cold wind, Xie Ci was slightly stunned, but shook her head vigorously, "No, it's not!"

He suddenly remembered his father, and thanked him and remembered his father, all good things. When he was a child, he was respectful, afraid and unconvinced of his father, but he always had a great admiration and reverence in his heart, and tonight he suddenly understood that Xie Xinxin's bone marrow and his soul had such a shining thing.

"Alright, let's go, go back to sleep!"

After Gu Wan finished laughing, he pushed Xie Qi to the wooden staircase, but then again, hello everyone, it's really good.

The mountains and rivers are broken, and the people are miserable, it's too bad, she is willing to be a peaceful person, otherwise everyone will be miserable, then it will be difficult for her to swallow even if she eats and drinks spicy food next door.

She patted the shoulder of thanks, so you have to come on big brother!

The two of them went one after the other, and let the guy open an extra room, and climbed up to the door of the third floor, "

; Okay, go to bed early, let's take turns watching, and I'll call you again in the middle of the night. "

Gu Wan stuffed the second letter from Mrs. Xun and his sister-in-law into his arms, pushed him into the room and went to sleep.

The moonlight was bright and clean, and a light veil was draped over the ridge of the eaves, and the half-open window was cast on the ground in front of the bed.

Xie Ci lay on the bed, opened the envelope, unfolded the letter paper and read it carefully, hairpin Xiaokai, gentle and showy, said that Xiao Si was about to have a birthday, and asked Gu Wan to comfort him, several pieces of letter, large and small, spread out on the moonlight hazy pillow, and only then did Gu Wan also say: "Revenge is revenge, but don't let the past bind yourself." "

Xie Ci inhaled gently, folded the letter paper and put it on the cover and pressed it on his heart, he remembered the words of the day before yesterday - "Hey Xiaosi, it's up to you next, you have to lay a place for our family to settle down!"

On his seventeenth birthday, on the night of the silver moon, he suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase that there are many things in life.

There is an extra weight in his heart, but the other side seems to be loosened a little, all kinds of complexities, and it is difficult for him to express it in words. But overall, he's loosening up a little bit faster than he used to.

Xie Ci carefully wrapped the letter in oiled paper and stuffed it into a calfskin bag, and lay down again, the moon was bent, he stared at the moonlight like silver yarn, and thought of Gu Wan again.

He didn't fall asleep for a while, and finally pulled out the silver chain around his neck, this time he didn't look at the note, but the silver delicate buckle.

He felt that he had been weird recently, when he was with Gu Wan, inadvertently, his mood fluctuated so much, and he seemed to have a kind of problem that would make his heart beat faster or miss a shot for no reason.

He felt awkward, but he was happy for no reason, and he didn't know where it came from, so quietly appeared. He played with the Linglong buckle for a long time, and at some point, he fell asleep.

In the dream, he saw his mother and sister-in-law, his younger brothers, nephews, nieces, and his deceased father and brothers, as well as Gu Guan. She laughed, they laughed, and everyone gathered around him to celebrate his birthday, seventeen.

After drinking a big bowl of sorghum wine, it was rare to have a good night's sleep.

As for Gu Guan, he was leaning against the window frame and sitting on the windowsill at this time.

She put the wine gourd that was brought up from the bottom, and when she looked up, the moonlight was faint, quietly sprinkled on the treetops of the roof, the streets and alleys, and until the eaves and tiles at her feet, a cold and white silver-white.

She reached out and caught the silver. Soft, yet true.

Gu Wan sighed, at the beginning, she would inevitably have a sense of unreality loaded with a new game, but today, she finally has none

than realize, everything is true.

- She has made a home in this dynasty.

In the past, Gu Wan didn't dare to think deeply, because she was actually very happy in modern times, but at this moment she seriously thought that she should work hard to let go of the past and live a good life positively, just like before.

She now has a new family as well.

Then, she can also continue with a meaningful but not so ordinary life. That's pretty good, isn't it?

Gu Wan shook his head vigorously, and in the end, he poured two bowls of wine with a wine gourd, one bowl of which he drank while looking at the moonlight like a veil, and the other bowl was sprinkled on the roof tiles outside the window.

This bowl, just give it to the unlucky guy who was smashed!

She looked up at the moon.

Early in the morning, the thin morning light stained the windowsill with a layer of gold, and a few small sparrows were jumping around and squeaking.

Gu Wan couldn't see any traces of last night on his face, bathed in the golden morning sun early in the morning, she was like the morning light, like the sun. Approaching the end of the year, the streets and alleys were bustling early in the morning, and the two washed and dined and left the inn, and walked through the alleys to the door of the second house. Luo Qian has already carried two burdens, the desk in front of the main house

On the stairs, Xun Xiao looked at the thank you coldly.

The little boy who used to fly freely and beat horses across the street, now dressed in a blue-black sleeve-tied suit, standing on the side of the remnant snow yellow wall, his eyebrows and calm temperament have precipitated all of a sudden, and he has grown up so quickly.

Also, Xun Xiao sneered, who can not grow overnight?

If you want to know more about the collaborator case, come with me.

Xun Xiao said coldly.

He walked out of the yellow-walled courtyard quickly, and walked to the inn at the entrance of the alley, Luo Qian had already pulled out two fast horses, Xun Xiao took the black one, turned over, and quickly galloped out.

Thanks, Gu Wan followed.

The group crossed Funiu Mountain, went around the Zhou Pass, went straight out of the pass, and then went back to the outside of the Suzhou Feishan Pass.

The reckless brown and yellow remnants of the mountains, the pieces of yellow grass that are defeated, under the blind spot slope of the largest beacon tower in Suzhou, Xun Xiao pointed with a horsewhip: "See, fifty miles north of this place, there is a small stone town called Supo." ”

At the junction of Guanwai and Beirong borders, there is a large area of mixed settlement, there are Han people, there are also herdsmen, there are also Qiang Di or other mixed ethnic mixed people, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, this undulating mountains can feed a lot of people, some of them live together, some move seasonally, grazing and hunting for a living, but once they encounter a big war, they will migrate and flee.

In fact, the outside of the gate is not imaginary as soon as you go out, the yellow sand is full of grass and no grass, and on many grounds, the water and grass are quite abundant. The yellow sand is full of grass and no grass, and on many grounds, the aquatic plants are quite abundant.

There are also many caravans that venture in and out.

It is also because of this that it provides convenience for many unseen transactions.

At the end of the year before last, my uncle sent a letter, saying that he had discovered that some towns in the Northern Army had quietly traded salt, tea, sugar cloth, and even iron blades with the Beirong tribe!

The latter's court explicitly forbade the crime of collaborating with the enemy, which is simply audacious!

Xie Xinzhen was furious, and personally launched an investigation, and finally found a very large smuggling line in Shadow Shadow.

He got the conclusive evidence, came to Suzhou in person, and led his troops out of the customs to capture the smuggling team.

The latter matters are also briefly mentioned in the key dossier.

Who knew that after Xie Xinxin personally led the troops out of the customs, he became the mastermind behind the smuggling line, and this net was opened for him! In the end, the twelve generals testified at the same time, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy was established!

Xun Xiao knew the details in detail, but before all the above happened, he was first caught in the fire, burned by flames, and his mother died suddenly. The north wind was as cold as a knife, and the hunt scraped through people's cheeks and necks, blowing so that Gu Wan couldn't open his eyes.

On this vast and snow-white area, Xun Xiao sneered briefly, and his hoarse voice was sneering: "Have you seen it, it's in this area."

The snow covered the vast grassland, and the remnants of the sun were like blood, "Your father was seriously injured here, and your eldest brother died on the spot." ”

The laughter was hoarse and hard to hear, and as he restored the details sentence by sentence, the thanksgiving remained motionless.

He stood on the grassland where the north wind was howling, and as far as the eye could see, it was yellow, white and snowy, and lifeless.

Just like the thrilling scene that changed his life a year and a half ago.

He was independent for a long time, until he felt that Gu Wan came to his side.

Gu Wan was a little afraid to speak, and stood for a long time, until the bonfire over there rose and the water boiled, and she came over with a clay pot. Thanks, are you okay? She asked, a little cautiously.

Xie Ci took the jug, but shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

He pulled Gu Wan back a few steps, squatting behind the sheltered mound, it was very cold, he gave Gu Wan hot water to drink, and after she drank it, she said that she would not drink it, so he raised his head and drank it all, and threw the jar in the snow.

Don't worry about me, I'm fine.

Yes, I already knew that these things would be like this, but now I know in more detail the antecedents of this so-called collaborator and smuggling line.

"I already knew that.

As for the eldest brother, he whispered, "It can't be worse than being in a different place." "At first, I thought that Beirong was raided, and I thought that I was killed on the battlefield, but it was a very good thing.

Xie Ci took a deep breath, he quickly digested the matter, his fingers groped for a moment under his neck, and he said, "Guan Niang, I plan to recruit Xie Jiawei back."

The desire to regain power has become even more urgent.

Xun Rongbi has guards, and the Xie family, who has been a general for generations, of course, also has guards, when the Xie family had an accident, Xie Jiawei was the first to bear the brunt, but they are separated from many places, and there will always be fires left.

In the past, he refused to believe that he was attacked by the enemy, but as soon as the idea of recovering his power opened, Xie Ci naturally thought of Xie Jiawei.

Gu Wan immediately perked up, she knew Xie Jiawei! She even knew that Xie Kar-wai was really loyal, because in the original trajectory, the part of Xie Kar-wai who was lucky enough not to die was still looking for Xie Ci until a few years later, refusing to believe that he was dead, until Xie Ci was born.

Her voice immediately became a little excited, "Okay! So how do you get it back?"

Of course, it is impossible to make a big deal of thanks, and even at this moment he is still on guard in his heart, "If they have a heart, the matter in Suzhou will definitely be able to detect one or two, and wait for them to find it."

Gu Wan thought about it, this is also appropriate, after all, they don't know where Xie Jiawei is now. After saying this, Xie Ci finally showed a little annoyance, and he took out the two letters he had opened last night from his leather bag.

At the end of the letter, Mrs. Xun and Xie Mingming finally even said that Xie Second Sister-in-law, Xie Eldest Sister-in-law, and Xie Third Sister-in-law said that they were coming to the Northwest ——— even if the family did not get together, they would have to watch and help each other. No one suffers sin, and the others are at peace.

After Xun Rongbi finished the matter, Gu Wan wrote to inform Xie Er's sister-in-law, first, to understand this matter, and secondly, the most important thing is to let her be more careful and vigilant.

But the second sister-in-law Xie quickly replied, saying that Mrs. Xun already knew about Xun Rongbi's testimony against the Xie family. This, there are even storytellers on the streets and alleys, and after hiding it for so long, it can't be hidden after all. I won't talk about the specific process at home, and finally Xie Er's sister-in-law told the family about the follow-up.

Mrs. Xun didn't say anything about her grief and pain, and finally the family decided to move their family to the north, and they were unwilling to resign themselves to bear these alone. First Mrs. Xun Xie Mingming, and finally even Xie Er's sister-in-law compromised.

——— family initially thought that it was just a difficult investigation, but who expected it to be so, it was hard to imagine the thrilling and isolated experience of Xie Ci and Gu Wan.

Xie Ci showed the letter to Gu Wan and handed it over to her for safekeeping, Mrs. Xun Xie Er's sister-in-law asked him to explain the address, but Xie Ci was unwilling, "I don't need them, I can do it alone."

The snow is white, and the sun is gradually coming to an end, thank you

Looking back, the young and handsome face reflected the color of snow and twilight, and there was a kind of thrilling perseverance. He said, "I can always do it!"

"My fathers and brothers have been loyal and upright all their lives, and there is nothing really to criticize, and I believe I can do it!" As long as the foundation is okay, they are all framed and fake, and in time, he will definitely seek justice for them! Gu Wan was about to say something, when there was a creaking sound of snow behind him, and Xun Xiao sneered coldly: "The righteous path in the world comes from death." "It's not justice, it's okay.

Displeased, Huo Di stood up.

The two looked at each other coldly.

Xun Xiao looked at the Xie Ci in front of him with a warm gaze, "I know you want to recover the Xie family's forces. ”

Can you really do it?

If Xie Ci can really recover the old department of the Xie family, Xun Xiao will feel that there is value in acting with the other party.

I didn't find out who was at the back of this smuggling line.

This is not something that can be found on the periphery, but Xun Xiao can be sure that this is a huge smuggling line, which does not involve the interests of one person, and there must be one or several high-ranking and powerful figures behind the scenes.

"Twelve generals, six of whom are your father's henchmen, three of them have truly rebelled, another has been robbed of his only son, one has jumped as an immortal, and the last one has been caught for desecration.

"In addition to the six henchmen, there are a few of your father's real loyalists who would rather die than give in." Two of them have a lot of military power, "but one of them is already dead, and the other is not dead but is about to die." ”

was splashed with dirty water and framed, anyway, the Xie family's line was pulled down, and the former was pulled up.

The Qin family is now in danger, and if they can't manage to rescue them, they will soon be over.

Xun Xiao stared at Xie Ci and raised his eyebrows: "If you want to recover your power, you have to hurry, start here." "Otherwise, it will be a little later, and the tide will be gone.

Xun Xiao's eyebrows were distorted, and his eyebrows were raised like a ghost, which was especially terrifying at close range in the twilight, but Gu Wan was not afraid. Instead, her heart jumped, "Qin family, which Qin family?" She suddenly remembered that Xie Er's sister-in-law's mother's family was not surnamed Qin?

Xun Xiao snorted twice: That's right, it's the Qin family you think.
