When the things were in hand, Gu Changce was coaxed to be happy.

The corners of Shen Zuihuan's lips curled slightly, and the two got into the carriage side by side and returned to the house.

At this time, it was already the third watch.

She didn't fully recover a few days ago, and all kinds of things have happened one after another recently.

I feel very sleepy tonight.

After returning to the dormitory, I washed up and went to bed.

But Gu Changce couldn't sleep.

After Shen Zuihuan fell into a deep sleep, he quietly stayed again, put on a thin coat, and went to the study.

There are two palace lamps in the huge study.

The night is thick, and the palace lights are swaying.

Gu Changce was still tightly holding the silver jade buckle that he had "tricked" tonight.

He stood by the carved mahogany window, and by the bright moonlight outside the window, he looked at the hand-carved scriptures on the silver jade buckle.

Long.

He walked to the back of his desk in silence and pulled out a small wooden box from the drawer behind the desk.

The wooden box was opened.

I saw that there was a letter of harmony and departure in it.

The handwriting on the book is a dignified and elegant hairpin, which is the handwriting of Shen Zuihuan.

The corners of Gu Changce's lips pursed slightly.

In fact, what he said to Shen Zuihuan in the Treasure Pavilion tonight was not completely nonsense.

Three months earlier, he had been ordered to go to Daijun to quell the border rebellion.

Shen Zuihuan did say that to him early in the morning of the day he left.

She wore a azure dress that day, and her little face looked sparse, like a beauty coming out of the ice and snow.

She said, "Gu Changce, when you return this time, I have something for you." ”

At that time, it had been four years since Gu Tang was born.

After Gu Tang was born, she hardly talked to him and didn't want to see him.

That was the first time in four years that Shen Zuihuan took the initiative to find him and talk to him.

...... She also said that she was going to give him something.

The moment he heard this, Gu Changce almost went into cardiac arrest.

If it weren't for the thousands of soldiers still behind him at that time, and he was wearing cold and hard iron armor, he almost wanted to circle Shen Zuihuan tightly in his arms.

But he didn't, he just tried his best to refrain from answering, "Okay." ”

It's just that after setting up camp in the border city of Dai County, almost all the deputy generals beside Gu Changce knew that he had a wife with excellent feelings.

Before the day before the expedition, I hoped that he would return safely.

It's a pity that the enemy he encountered that time was the Huns' brutal and murderous Zuoxian King Hutu, who was wise and close to the demon.

Once, he fell for his scheme.

He slashed his face head-on, and the scar at the eyebrow bone also came from this.

I was also hit in the back.

That night, the wound became infected and he developed a high fever.

It's a shame that I have always remembered Shen Zuihuan's words, and Liu He poured two bowls of decoction medicine in his mouth.

Survived again.

In the first battle of Daijun, he narrowly defeated Hutu.

Before his injuries were fully healed, he rejected Dai Junjun's suggestion to let him stay and recuperate.

couldn't wait, and quickly returned to Chang'an City to resume his life.

However, after arriving at the General's Mansion, he did not see Shen Zuihuan's people.

He was waiting for her in her room, and accidentally knocked over the black lacquer and gold makeup box, and the letter in front of him also fell from it.

This and the book are what Shen Zuihuan really wants to give him.

He didn't even have time to be sad, and he received the news from his subordinates that Shen Huanhuan threw himself into the water after seeing Wei Zhiyu.

At that moment, Gu Changce was like falling into an ice cave.

At this time, the moon sets in the sky.

The dark blue clouds that lingered next to the moon slowly dispersed.

The glow of the cold moon fell.

At that time, Gu Changce left this letter of peace, thinking that after her body fully recovered, she would return the freedom of her heart.

But Shen Zuihuan is doing this to him now....

His eyes were dark, and lust was surging in them.

The moist corners of the lips are almost straightened.

The handsome face was half exposed to the light of the cold moon, half hidden in the darkness.

After a long time, he suddenly chuckled.

Slowly, he tore the book in half and threw it into the incense burner next to him.

A slight crackling sound burst through the incense burner.

He turned around and hung the silver jade buckle around his waist as a ring.

Putting on his coat, he turned and strode out of the study.

——

Early in the morning of the second day.

Diligent Palace.

After the end of the early dynasty, Emperor Qi Shengxuan left several military and political ministers to discuss the matter of clearing the Xiongnu and recovering the Western Regions.

Since the beginning of spring this year, the Xiongnu have been stirring up trouble at the border.

As a result, Yanmen, Yunzhong, and several important cities in Daijun mourned the disaster, and the people were struggling to make a living.

If this continues, I am afraid that there will be trouble.

In the past, when the Empress Dowager was still in power, she advocated harmony as the precious, and whenever this happened, she thought of using peace to calm people.

But Qi Shengxuan felt that if he endured it like this, he would only let the barbarians gain an inch.

But Zuo Dan Yu Xiutu, who is now really in power and leading the army, is not easy to mess with.

He is young, and this year is not too old, but he seems to know a lot about the culture of the Central Plains.

When the generals of the border city faced him, there were almost no victories in the battle.

Qi Shengxuan couldn't sleep well because of this.

The generals who came to the Qinzheng Hall this morning mainly include veteran generals Li Qiyan and Zhao Shuping.

Slightly younger ones are Gu Changce and Sang Nanhuai.

Li Qiyan and Zhao Shuping fought more conservatively, and Qi Shengxuan didn't want to use them in his heart.

The last time Gu Changce won the battle against King Hutu in Daijun, he wanted to invite him to go on the expedition this time.

It's just that Gu Xingyan, the old general Gu, is still guarding Yanmen.

Gu Changning was in his harem, and if he sent the only junior in the family to fight against the main force of the Huns, it would inevitably seem too unkind.

So he didn't raise his mouth for a long time.

Sang Nanhuai, the general of the cavalry, is also one of the young generals who have emerged in the past two years.

His family is full of civil servants, and he is a man who likes to dance with knives and guns.

As soon as Qi Shengxuan proposed the matter of recovering the Western Regions, he began to come up with ideas first.

Although the relationship was not good in private, the peace between the Great Liang and the Xiongnu had lasted for decades after all.

They rashly sent troops, fearing that the division would be unknown.

So Sang Nanhuai came up with the idea that in a few months, in winter, it would be the season when the Huns were in short supply of grain and money, and there would inevitably be trouble at the border pass.

Daliang's army can use the excuse that the Hun soldiers will kill people in the border city, take the opportunity to make things bigger, and then send troops as it should be.

Hearing this, the corners of Qi Shengxuan's lips hooked slightly, which was exactly what he meant.

But several ministers came next to him, among which Prime Minister Zhang Jingchu reacted the most.

He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty think twice! The Xiongnu royal court has been entrenched in Mobei for decades, and it is rash to go to war, which may displace the border people. ”

Qi Shengxuan said in his heart that the Xiongnu were uneven, and the border people could not live a good life.

But he didn't show it on his face, but made a sad face.

He asked Sang Nanhuai again: "Sang Aiqing, I know that you want to sweep away the Huns and serve your family and country, but what the prime minister said is also reasonable, King Hugh Tu is not so easy to deal with, now General Li and General Zhao are old, according to your opinion, who should I send to the army?" ”
