Gong Yinxue went to visit Gong Yinxue for several days, and she was anxious, but she was stopped by Zhao several times, which made Gong Yinxue a little confused.

The snow was pouring down, the waterfall next to the house became hazy in a snow mist, the sound of rushing water was still there, and the deep pool in the mountain stream seemed to freeze no matter how cold the weather was.

The pond in the yard was already frozen, reflecting the dazzling sunlight like a mirror, and Gong Yinyu was wearing a red cotton suit and a white cloak covered with mink fur, and he picked up a few stones and threw them into the pond.

From a distance, I saw Gong Yinxue walking out of the courtyard of the eldest uncle, and hurriedly greeted him, "Sister, have you seen the uncle?"

Gongyi Yinxue stroked her younger brother's cheeks, which were slightly red from the cold wind, with a slight disappointment on her face, but she still said comfortingly: "Auntie, let's not worry too much, Doctor Lu from Jicheng is also on the way to Jinzhou......"

"I still haven't seen my uncle, have I? I miss him a little bit, and last time he said that he would take me to the library to find a book on the war, so that I could learn some art of war. ”

Gongyi Yinyu lowered his head silently, he was as confused as Gongyi Yinxue, and couldn't understand why since the incident in the ancestral hall, the uncle seemed to have forgotten their two sisters and brothers, and didn't even give them a chance to meet and say hello.

"Okay, let's go back, maybe you can eat your favorite roast chicken again today." Yin Xue looked back at the back of the eldest aunt, took Yin Yu's hand, and smiled on her red face.

It's just that the two of them turned around and didn't take two steps, but it was their third uncle who hurried to meet them.

Gong Yi didn't have an umbrella, let the snowflakes fall lightly on his head, mixed with the whiteness of his temples, he looked up at the sister and brother, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he greeted with a smile on his face: "It's Yinxue and Yinyu, why are you standing here......"

His eyes followed and glanced at the courtyard of Gongyiren in front of him, and pretended to say suddenly: "What's the matter? Your eldest aunt didn't let you in? Oh, it's a cold day, come and come, with the third uncle." ”

Saying that he wanted to pull Yinyu's hand, Yinyu carefully took half a step back, perhaps in order not to behave too rudely, the handsome boy grinned and said, "I don't want to go in, I want to go back to eat roast chicken, my brother-in-law made roast chicken for me, it's delicious!"

Yin Xue also smiled and said: "Third uncle, Yin Xue took Xiaoyu back first, and went to greet the third uncle and third aunt another day." ”

And Gong Yi was obviously acting in a coy position just now, how could he not know that Gong Yi Yinxue has been eating behind closed doors these days, even if he took these two sisters and brothers in again, he would be stopped outside.

Gong Yi still remembered that on the third day after the incident in the ancestral hall, Gong Yi Ren had asked him to go over, and there were only two of them in the house that day, and even the Zhao family was sent outside the door by Gong Yi Ren to wait, which made Gong Yi Ji sweat hard.

After the public lost the door, he suddenly felt refreshed, as if the cold of this early winter had dissipated a little, and the servants and maids who saw the public lost that day were also strange, they had never seen their third master smile so happily and walk so briskly.

It's just that no one knows what the two brothers said behind closed doors, and it was from that day on, that Yinxue and Yinyu never met with Gongyiren again.

......

Gong Yi was just a routine door-to-door greeting, and he retired and left after a while, and he hummed a small tune all the way, so naturally he would not have noticed that a gray-haired old man was walking into Gong Yiren's courtyard from the other direction of the corridor.

The charcoal brazier in the room provided warmth to the whole space, and Gong Yiren shook the silk book handed over by the old man, and looked at it with a frown.

After a long time, he spoke slowly, and his voice sounded weak, "Where did the news come from, is it reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, the Tang army now only has a few teams of scouts to roam the border, but the newspapers say that those people hide in the camp tents all day and night to roast the fire...... Also, the climate of the Tang Kingdom is humid and warm, even in winter, there are not a few snowfalls, and most of the Tang people are not very cold-tolerant. The old man stood respectfully beside Gong Yiren's bed, bowing his head slightly.

Gong Yiren squinted his eyes, looked at the carving of the colorful clouds chasing the clouds on the top of the bed, and said, "Don't take it lightly...... The Tang State had plundered some villages on our border before, causing the people to be displaced, not necessarily to clear the way for future wars. ”

The old man nodded and hesitated: "Although the Tang Kingdom has united Canghai this time, our spies have not heard that Canghai has sent troops to the north, in fact, my Mo family is still inheriting the general trend of the previous dynasty, dominating the world, and its strength far exceeds that of Tang and Canghai, otherwise these two countries will not unite." ”

Since the general was deposed in the early autumn and lived in the mansion after being disarmed, my Mo family's black cavalry has also been covered with dust, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the two countries, Cao Meng has never been willing to hide his ambition to dominate the world, and Li Qiuhuang of the Tang State heard that he does not care about the general trend of the world, but with his noble concubine Yang Taizhen, how can the Tang Kingdom be willing to be ordinary?"

Gong Yiren sighed, waved his hand and said: "There is a movement about the Tang Army, you let people keep an eye on it, as long as there is a disturbance, send a letter back immediately!"

"Yes. The old man nodded.

"The people who have fled should not be neglected in giving relief, and at the same time, we must also let them have a place in Jinzhou as soon as possible. If the big families refuse to open their fields and accept them, let them come to me. ”

"Yes. ”

"About military training, you tell a few generals, let them not slack off, it's not that you can't pull out to practice in winter, recruits, don't be too squeamish. ”

"Yes. ”

The response was respectful and steady, which was a kind of confidence and pride of the old man as a steward of the public loser for many years.

He served the old family master of the previous generation, and was the right-hand man of the old family master, and now in the generation of Gong Yiren, he still values him very much, this trust, this inheritance and entrustment, naturally makes him loyal.

"That thing...... How's it going?" Gong Yiren opened his eyes again, the tiredness in his eyes was not gone, but it was a little sharper, which made the originally calm old man's heart tremble inexplicably.

It's just that the old man has been a public loser for so many years, of course he won't be so stupid as to understand the meaning of public loser. In fact, compared to the things that the two discussed before, perhaps this matter is what Gong Yiren is most concerned about.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

This matter is both a long-term concern and a near-term worry.

"The net has been cast. The old man said softly: "The merchant I caught is indeed a key player, and now I have arranged for a reliable person to replace him, for a few months, or as short as a month, I should be able to find out where those people are behind the scenes." ”

"Good. Gong Yiren didn't even seem to have the strength to nod, and slowly closed his eyes, "It's better to be faster, my body ...... I can't last long......"

"Master, don't be pessimistic, when Doctor Lu arrives, he will definitely be able to come up with a way to turn the old man around. The old man's eyes were a little sad, this was the second master of the public loser family he served, the years have passed, is this going to be parting again?

Life may still be able to rely on a bright moon to send thoughts, but don't die......

"Huh. Gong Yiren smiled, "Life and death are fate, even if Mr. Lu is a rare miracle doctor in the world, he is not a god who comes back to life after all." I know in my heart, you go. ”

There was a conversation between Gong Yiren and the old man, of course Qin Ke didn't hear it, no matter how mysterious his wind vision technique was, it couldn't be used as a mythical tailwind ear and clairvoyance.

And these days, his days at the Gongyi family are no different from before: on the one hand, he will help Gongyi Yinxue to settle those displaced people who have entered the city outside, and on the other hand, he will continue to practice in the courtyard.

There's just one thing he's worried about.

Before, he was very tired of Gong Chuan Cha coming to his door every day to learn from him, but since Gong Cheng Cha was imprisoned, he inexplicably felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot.

"Thinking about it this way, there is a little grandmaster who doesn't have to spend money to come to the door on time every day...... Am I not cherishing it too much?"

Qin Ke's sweat dripped down his cheeks little by little, and he finally let out a sigh of relief and gently inserted the Bodhisattva sword back into the scabbard.

After taking the towel from Fluttershy, he rubs it as he scoops a scoop of ice slag water from the vat and gulps it down.

After drinking it in one go, Qin Ke only felt a bone-chilling chill rushing down his throat all the way to his stomach, and then cold all over his body.

Fluttershy took the ladle and covered her mouth and chuckled, "Grandpa is in good health, I feel cold when I dip this scoop of cold water, but Grandpa can drink as much as anyone else." ”

"What's this? Qin Ke continued to wipe his sweat and grinned.

For those of them who practice qi and blood, a strong physique is enough to make them more resistant to cold than ordinary people, not to mention that he has just gathered momentum at this time, and it is when the qi and blood are agitated, and a scoop of cold water goes down, which is conducive to the operation of qi and blood in his body.

However, after a moment of looking at Fluttershy's pretty face, the smile on his lips stiffened, and he couldn't help but think of something else.
