The brush in his hand fell on the white rice paper, and soon a smear of ink was dipped on it, and the smile on Mingyan's face also froze, but Bai Lu regained her senses first, frowned and asked, "What's going on? "
Hong Shuang slowed down for a while, and her breath was almost calmed, she heard the words and said, "I also heard from the concierge over there, saying that the border guards rushed to send an urgent letter, the Turks are in chaos, what kind of second prince is ruling? In this situation, the leader of the army came over to us Da Zhou."
"The Duke of Wei is injured again."
"Now the border is in chaos."
Bai Lu's face changed when she heard this, she turned to look at Gu Wuyou, "...Master." Seeing her pale face, she asked again with concern, "Are you alright?"
Gu Wuyou shook his head, resting his hands on the table, his breath was still a little short.
She didn't know how long it took before she asked in a hoarse voice, "Is the ten-year deadline between us and the Turks approaching?"
How do these inner-house daughters understand these things, but if you ask the time, Bai Lu frowned and thought about it, and she replied, "It should be almost the same, I remember when the Turks signed a treaty with us, the slave got a serious illness. , that's about the time."
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou immediately changed his face.
At this time in her previous life, she was already married to Zhao Chengyou, and because she was stymied by other things, she did not return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year. Later, when she returned to her uncle's house, she learned that the heroic and fighter Wei Guogong had passed away. It was because of the Turks. this battle.
Although Duke Wei tried his best to maintain the Dazhou Mountains and Rivers and slaughtered the second Turkic prince, he himself died of exhaustion.
How could she forget something so important? !
She thought that when Duke Wei returned this time, she and Li Qinyuan would be able to persuade people to stay in the capital, so the tragedy of the previous life would not happen.
Where do you think...
It turned out that the tragedy had already arrived.
Thinking of how Li Qinyuan finally let go of her prejudice and told her to respect Wei Guogong before... Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and regardless of the ink on her hands, she got up and walked out, "Let me set a car for me, I will Going out!"
Where did the two maids dare to stop her, Hong Shuang hurriedly sent a message outside, and Bai Lu went directly to the shelf to get a cloak and put it on her.
Gu Wuyou didn't even bother to take the stove, so she hurried to the concierge. Her face was very ugly, her eyebrows were tightly knit, and her red lips were biting lightly. She couldn't imagine what Li Qinyuan would be like if something happened to Duke Wei... Thinking of his previous life He was in front of Duke Wei's grave, and there was lingering sadness and disappointment between his eyebrows.
Her whole heart seemed to be grabbed by someone.
Her fingers clenched the placket of her chest, as if even her breathing became uneasy, she gritted her teeth, and walked over there at a quicker pace.
The carriage is already set up.
Bai Lu followed her into the carriage, "Master, where are we going now?"
Gu Wuyou said in a hoarse voice, "Go... Dingguo Gongfu." Since returning to the capital, Li Qinyuan has not lived outside anymore, but returned to his own house. He really let go of his prejudices, and it is true Reconciled with myself and the past.
After a few minutes,
The carriage stopped in front of Wei Guogong's mansion.
Before Bai Lu got out of the car to deliver the message, she saw that Fu Xian hurriedly got off his horse and was about to walk inside. She hurriedly jumped out of the car and called, "Master Xian."
Fu Xian stopped and looked back to see Bai Lu standing beside the carriage. Before he could speak, he saw Gu Wuyou also came down. He frowned, walked over, looked at her pale face, and suppressed his voice again. Ask, "You know that?"
Without answering, Gu Wuyou asked, "How is the situation?"
"not good."
Fu Xian pursed his lips and glanced at her again, "Forget it, you probably won't feel at ease when you go back. Come in with me."
He is a frequent visitor to the Li family. In the past, when Li Qinyuan hadn't broken up with his family, he lived in the Li family for most of the time, and the servants in the mansion also took him as half a young master, and invited people in without any communication. .
When he arrived at Li Qinyuan's yard, he saw Wei Qingyi walking out of it before entering.
Wei Qingyi is Li Censhen's long-time follower. This time, he was left in Beijing to take care of the Li family's affairs. When he saw the two of them, he paused slightly and said, "Master Fu, the Lord of Leping County."
Fu Xian nodded and glanced at the closed room, "How is Qilang?"
Wei Qingyi sighed, "Young master has always been happy and angry, but I can see that he is in a bad mood. After the two of you go in, please help and persuade him. If there is a celestial phenomenon, the prince will be fine. ."
this.
He himself was false.
Fu Xian nodded, did not speak, and led Gu Wuyou in.
When they entered the room, the two did not see Li Qinyuan's figure. Fu Xian and Gu Wuyou looked at each other and walked inside together. As soon as they opened the curtain, they saw Li Qinyuan squatting in front of a box. Wearing a full set of silver armor.
The sunlight outside the window just came in through the gap and cast on the silver armor, reflecting a dazzling light in this slightly dim room.
On the other hand, Li Qinyuan stood in the sunlight, his slender fingers lightly rubbed the lines on the armor, his slightly drooping eyes blocked the emotions in his eyes, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking.
As soon as Gu Wuyou saw his movements, his expression changed slightly, and his breathing also stopped.
"Qilang, you..." Fu Xian looked at him blankly.
Li Qinyuan raised his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw Gu Wuyou next to Fu Xian, the expression on his face finally changed, he put away his fingers and stood up, his voice was a little hoarse, "You are here."
"Are you okay?" Fu Xian frowned.
"It's alright." Li Qinyuan shook his head, walked to Gu Wuyou's body, shook her hand, and frowned when he noticed the coolness there. He brought her to the table and poured a cup of hot tea. With a stunned look, she pursed her lips and put the tea cup in her hand.
Then he asked Fu Xian, "I know the general situation from Wei Qingyi's mouth. Do you have any more details?"
Fu Xian also sat down, "Wei Qingyi is a close friend of Uncle Li's side. He should say something similar to what I know, but..." Thinking of what his father and brother said, he pursed his lips and lowered his voice. , "I heard from my father that Uncle Li's injuries were not left during the war, but were already there before he went to war."
"His subordinates persuaded him that he..."
Glancing at Li Qinyuan, he completed the words, "I didn't listen."
Li Qinyuan seemed to have known it for a long time, his face did not change, but his hand on the tea cup tightened a little, "When are you going?"
"My father and brother were summoned to the palace by His Majesty just now. It is estimated that there will be news at night. If it is fast, they will have to leave tomorrow." If there is a celestial phenomenon, nothing will happen.”
"We will definitely bring him back safely."
"Um."
Li Qinyuan nodded, glanced at Gu Wuyou, who was still pale, and said to Fu Xian, "Go back first."
Fu Xian was also worried that Li Qinyuan would take the time to come out and he would have to go back to the camp in the western suburbs later. Now that he heard this, he knew that they still had something to say, so he didn't say much. He nodded and left, waiting for him to leave. After that, Li Qinyuan put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Gu Wuyou, "Manman..."
Gu Wuyou's long eyelashes moved slightly, and he raised his head before anyone finished speaking.
Although her face was still a little pale, her expression was calm, without the initial panic. At this time, Xing'er's clear eyes looked straight at Li Qinyuan, "Go ahead."
Li Qinyuan looked stunned and said dumbly, "What?"
Gu Wuyou put down the cold tea cup in his hand, held Li Qinyuan's hand, and said, "You want to go to the border gate."
Li Qinyuan's eyelashes moved slightly, he seemed to want to say something, but under her gaze, he couldn't say a single lie, "...Yes."
As early as when he heard the news, he wanted to run to the border. If it was in the past, he would naturally have no worries and would do whatever he wanted, but now... he has worries in his heart, and he can no longer be like before.
But he was also hesitant. How should he talk to his Manman
Their wedding date is approaching, and the border is so uneven that even my grandmother refuses to let him go, let alone her.
Gu Wuyou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and put a gentle palm on his face, "Go, if you don't go this time, you will feel uncomfortable, and I will feel uncomfortable watching it." She actually said it very well. It was difficult, she did not want Li Qinyuan to go to the battlefield again, and she did not want him to go to war again.
As long as she thought about the ending of his previous life, she couldn't watch him leave like this.
She was so frightened that she trembled looking at the armor.
But she is also very clear.
If he is not allowed to take this trip, he will never feel at ease.
Rather than letting him stay in the capital in anxiety, it is better to let him go.
"Manman, I..." Li Qinyuan opened his mouth to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, someone gently pressed his fingers against his lips, Gu Wuyou looked into his eyes and said to him, "Don't say sorry to me, you Just bring Uncle Li back safely."
"I will stay in the capital obediently and wait for you to come back."
At this point, she pursed her lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "Li Qinyuan, you have to remember that there is someone here waiting for you to come back."
Li Qinyuan looked at her and was speechless. I don't know how long it took before he lowered his head and kissed her finger, and tried his best to say, "...Okay."
The next morning, it was still dark.
The soldiers and horses in Beijing were reorganized, led by Fu Xian's father Fu Bei, and
Behind him are Fu Xian and Fu Xian's elder brother, Fu Ye, and... Li Qinyuan.
Seeing this young man with thin lips slightly pursed and a solemn expression, Fu Bei couldn't help but say, "Qilang, you don't need to go this way, we will definitely bring Wei Guofing back, you Haven't been to the battlefield, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Qinyuan raised his head, looked at the person and said, "Uncle Fu, I am Li Censhen's son. My father went to the battlefield when he was in his teens. He fought on the battlefield for decades and never backed down. Nor will his son fear the dangers of the battlefield."
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself when I get to the battlefield."
"you… "
Fu Bei looked at him, and finally shook his head helplessly. He didn't say anything. When the generals were all ready to go back and forth, he also restrained his expression and said solemnly, "Let's go!"
The soldiers drove out of the city. Li Qinyuan noticed a bunch of eyes when he reached East Street. He looked up and saw Gu Wuyou standing in front of the window. She showed a bright and moving face, looked down, and saw When this face was familiar, his face that had never fluctuated finally changed.
Thin lips pursed slightly, throat tightened.
Holding the reins, he seemed to want to look at the figure and say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. Seeing Gu Wuyou follow him around the window, just to look at him more, Li Qinyuan's eyes suddenly turned red. , until the last window, when she couldn't go any further, he moved his lips silently—
"wait me back."
Gu Wuyou understood, tears rolled down his cheeks, afraid that people would be worried, he sniffed quickly, didn't say anything, but raised his smiling face and waved at people.
"Master..." Bai Lu looked at the soldiers who were leaving, supported Gu Wuyou's arm, and said softly, "Let's go back too."
"Um."
Gu Wuyou nodded, but he still didn't move, still clinging to the window and looking out, until he couldn't even see the shadow, then he retracted his hand slumped.
Seeing her like this, Bai Lu couldn't help but say: "If you are really reluctant, why don't you let Young Master Li stay? He has always listened to your words. If you speak, he will definitely agree."
"He will agree." Gu Wuyou said softly, "Instead of letting him stay in Beijing and restless, I would rather him go here in person and compare his heart to heart. If something happens to my father, I can't stay at home and wait for news. ."
The reason is this, but thinking of the environment at the border... Bai Lu still couldn't help sighing, and thinking of the words discussed by the people below, she looked at Gu Wuyou and asked in a low voice, "You said that Young Master Li will join the army. ?"
Gu Wuyou's long fingers moved slightly, and without answering, he asked, "Do you know the origin of the armor on his body?"
"What?" Bai Lu was stunned, not knowing how the master raised the armor.
Gu Wuyou looked out the window, and it seemed that there was still the figure of that person there, "That's what Mrs. Li helped him to do when he was a child. At that time, he was thinking about going to war like Wei Guogong when he grew up, so he begged Mrs. Li to do it for him. After all these years, you can see that he doesn't care about anything, but he still has such a youthful yearning in his heart."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept this armor in my house for so many years."
Gu Wuyou said firmly: "He will join the army."
Wei
Duke Guo's health is not good, Li Jiajun needs a convincing general, even if it is not now, he will join the army in the future.
"Then, what should we do then?"
Bai Lu frowned suddenly, "The battlefield is a sword, light, sword, shadow, what if something happened?" She used to think that Mr. Li was not worthy of the county master without fame, but now she sees that he is also good at business, so she also Take it easy.
If this is really going to join the army, what should the master do
Gu Wuyou knew what she was thinking, and shook her hand lightly, without saying anything, still looking out the window, looking out of the window.
She was afraid, worried, and even wanted to leave people behind at all costs, but she knew very well that her lover was an eagle in the sky, and he would eventually go through the path of his previous life and become a general admired by everyone.
The sun is just right.
Gu Wuyou was bathed in the sun, she closed her eyes and seemed to hear the sound of the distant horses' hooves. There was her sweetheart, the one she wanted to see even through the years and the river, the person she loved deeply. .
She could stop him, but she didn't want to.
The person she loves should not be trapped by her, he is an eagle, he should fight the sky, and she... will always follow in his footsteps.
No regrets until death.
border.
It has been a month since I delivered the letter to Beijing.
This month, both sides have suffered serious contusions. Although the Turks are aggressive, they are only a small family of Fanbang. Moreover, the second prince has just ascended the throne, and the military's morale is still unstable... But on Da Zhou's side, Li Censhen's injury has not healed. , There is no commander in the army, and the momentum is also a lot weaker.
This day the Turks came to invade the territory again.
Li Censhen's deputy general, Yuan Tuo, was about to lead the troops when he saw Li Censhen walking out in black armor.
"General?" Yuan Tuo rolled over and dismounted, "Why are you here?"
Li Censhen said lightly, "I'll go with you."
"How is this possible?!" Yuan Tuo and the rest of the soldiers said anxiously, "Your health has just gotten better, and Doctor Xu also said that you can't be tired any more these days."
But Li Censhen just waved his hand, "I've made up my mind, let's go."
After he said this, he turned on his horse, and the black cloak drew a beautiful arc in the air. Without waiting for Yuan Tuo and others to persuade him, he lifted the reins and rode the horse out. , followed.
When they got outside, the soldiers saw him appear, and they were all surprised and surprised, "General, are you in good health?!"
"Um."
Li Censhen nodded and glanced at them, "Are you all ready?"
After hearing this, the generals and soldiers who were still slumped just now responded, "Okay!" To them, Li Censhen was their Dinghai Shenzhen. As long as he was there, they didn't have to be afraid.
…
With the appearance of Li Censhen.
This battle was indeed much better than before, but the Fanbang clan was so cunning, seeing that they were gradually losing, they simply withdrew their troops, and then repeated their old tricks and released many beasts. When Yuan Tuo saw the approaching tiger, his expression changed greatly, and he said, "These beasts!"
Taking another look at Li Censhen, seeing his pale complexion, he worriedly said, "General, are you alright
"
"… fine."
The time-consuming battle made his injury worse, but Li Censhen still gritted his teeth and endured it. At this time, if he fell, it would only make these soldiers more afraid, holding a silver spear in his hand, gritted his teeth, "Shield Hands forward, archers shoot arrows."
"Yes!"
Glancing at the new Turkic emperor not far away, he said in a deep voice, "Later, you will protect me and defeat the enemy and kill Ashina."
Yuan Tuo frowned and suggested, "General, we are weak now... it's better to wait for reinforcements."
Li Censhen also wanted to wait for reinforcements to appear, but his health was getting worse and worse. If reinforcements didn't show up and he fell, then... the consequences would be disastrous. Only by solving Ashina first and causing them to be in chaos can they pursue the victory.
Reaching out and pressing the jade comb on his chest, thinking of what Qilang said when he came, he sighed softly in his heart, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't hesitate any more, "Do as I say."
Yuan Tuo gritted his teeth, "...Yes!"
Just like what they had discussed at the beginning, the shield player and the archer fought against those beasts, while Li Censhen took advantage of the looseness there and opened a path directly. Yuan Tuo and dozens of other soldiers rushed over there to protect him. Ashina was still sitting on the horse to enjoy the scene of the tiger biting people, but when he saw Li Censhen coming over, he was stunned.
Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes again, he was immediately frightened.
The horse under him moved, and he shouted in a hurry: "Come on, escort!"
Li Censhen was desperately trying not to kill Ashina. He had been at the border for many years, and he had suffered a big loss for the Turks ten years ago. The Turkic soldiers were quite afraid of him. Now they see him like a god. The arrows were missed.
Qin Tuo had been with Li Censhen for many years, and vaguely sensed his thoughts.
At this time, he couldn't say anything. He could only grit his teeth and fight to open a bloody path for Li Censhen... But there are too many people on the Turkic side. But there are still people around in front of Ashina.
With the protection of the human flesh wall, Ashina is not as nervous as before.
He put up a bow and arrow and was facing Li Censhen. Looking at the more and more wounds on his body, the smile on his face became more and more hideous. As long as Li Censhen was killed, he would kill this Great Zhou's God of War. Zhou has nothing to fear from him anymore!
Thinking of that picture, his whole person became frenzied.
It seems that the entire Da Zhou has become his possession...
The arrow in his hand shot in the direction of Li Censhen.
At this time, Li Censhen was surrounded by several soldiers, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and when he heard Yuan Tuo shouting behind him, "General, be careful!" Only then did he notice a strong wind, and he hurriedly ducked to the left. One, Ashina's second arrow shot again.
He was slashed on the back, Li Censhen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body on the horse was not so stable, and the arrow was approaching him.
Just when he thought he could no longer hide, more horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him, and the soldiers cheered happily, "The reinforcements are here, the reinforcements are here!"
Li Censhen froze for a while, and before he could turn his head, he noticed a gust of wind coming from behind him. An arrow brushed past his body and directly penetrated Ashina's arrow. He was stunned and looked sideways, Then I saw a young man wearing silver armor and holding a silver gun, under the dazzling sunlight, without hesitation, galloping toward him on a horse.
He looked at the person who came and spit out two words in disbelief: "Ali..."
