Xue Yuan had just drawn his gods from the happiness of keeping the roots of his descendants, and the Sage smashed him head-on with the news that he was going to the frontier to send food and troops.

Xue Yuan received the decree, and on the way back from the palace, he thought of border gates, wind and sand, and then Gu Yuanbai. This trip is going to the border. It is necessary to control locusts and send troops. Xue Yuan does not come back when the food and troops are delivered, and he is not willing to come back like this. The anger and suffocation dissipated.

The arrogance of the nomads at the border, the miserable state of the people, and the cowardice of the army, he had to relieve his anger before he could return.

He also had to show it to Gu Yuanbai and tell Gu Yuanbai what kind of ability Xue Yuan could have. We have to deter those Xiao Xiao and tell them that no one can compare to Xue Yuan.

Northern Xinjiang, he had to go. This will take at least four or five months.

It may have been the coming year since he came back, and Gu Yuanbai's birthday had long been missed. Want to? Of course.

I really want to go, I really want to go. Xue Yuan pondered for a long time all the way, thinking about how to make the saint remember him.

Remember him for four or five months when many talents are emerging one after another.

He thought about the mansion all the way, but saw Madam Xue coming back from outside in neat clothes, Xue Yuan raised his brows and asked casually, "Where did you come from?"

Mrs. Xue froze without a trace, "Go to the ladies of the various houses and talk."

Xue Yuan nodded casually, suddenly stopped and asked sideways, "Mother, if I see someone, kiss and touch, he still doesn't agree. What should I do?"

Kissed, touched. These two sentences hit Madam Xue on the head, and Xue Yuan didn't get a response for a long time. He turned around and saw Madam Xue wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and half of the handkerchief was wet with tears.

"..." Xue Yuan said softly, "It's wrong."

I didn't ask any more questions, I went back to my room by myself.

Grain and grass were quickly mobilized, loaded and transported together. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Armed Forces followed closely. While preparing for various military supplies, such as machinery and equipment, the army needed to know the specific data obtained through fast and precise calculations.

The Privy Council is busy with deploying troops and arranging military affairs, but the Political Affairs Hall is busier than the Privy Council. They are calculating various accounts. The incident happened suddenly and cannot be delayed. They can only stop other matters day and night and use it all to calculate the office The number of munitions required.

Gu Yuanbai and the ministers had discussions in the early morning, and they still had discussions after the early morning. Sometimes the candles in the Xuanzheng Hall were lit until late at night, and there were still constant discussions in the hall. In this way, in the busyness, a large number of provisions and soldiers gradually gathered. . The specific and meticulous marching plan has also been improved through continuous overthrow and proposal.

Finally, the time came the day before Xue Yuan went to Northern Xinjiang.

Xue Yuan unshavenly brought two adult wolves from the Xue residence and sent them to Gu Yuanbai.

The two wolves had thick hair and strong limbs. They were dragged by Xue Yuan and stared at everyone in the hall. The palace maids turned pale and could not help but take a few steps back.

Gu Yuanbai pulled his head out of his busy schedule and was surprised when he saw these two fierce wolves, "I didn't bring two wolf cubs earlier, why did I send two more wolves here?"

"The previous two were small, no," Xue Yuan's voice became hoarse, "these two can protect the saint."

When Gu Yuanbai heard the words, he stopped writing, "Protect me?"

Xue Yuan gave a deep response, his hands suddenly loosened, and the palace attendants screamed, but saw the two wolves walking slowly, walked to Gu Yuan's white robe's feet, sniffed, and fell on the ground beside the saint.

Gu Yuanbai's heart beat faster when he suddenly let go of his hand. At this time, he stretched his body and looked down at the two wolves beside him.

Xue Yuandao: "Tame, they won't bite anyone. When I'm gone, they protect you, and I can walk in peace."

Gu Yuanbai's eyelids twitched, but he didn't move, "Are you safe to leave? In your eyes, the Imperial Army co-authored with me is all paper?"

"Different."

Xue Yuan pointed to Tian Fusheng, and said concisely: "Mr. Tian will go and pour a cup of tea for the sage."

Tian Fusheng's legs were shaking like chaff, and he forced a smile: "This, Master Xue... This is not good."

Xue Yuan said, "Go quickly."

Tian Fusheng raised his head and glanced at the saint. Gu Yuanbai relaxed when he knew that the two wolves were still obediently. He leaned on the back of the chair and nodded to Tian Fusheng.

The wolf is not a dog, Gu Yuanbai is looking forward to what these two wolves have been tamed by Xue Yuan and what they can do to protect their masters.

Tian Fusheng walked forward with a cup of tea with a bitter face, and the teacup was shaken non-stop. When he was five steps away from Gu Yuanbai, the two wolves lying on the ground and squinting opened their eyes and glanced at him. Under the gaze of the two wolves, he put the tea on the table in front of the saint.

Xue Yuan evoked a smile, and asked another guard to draw a knife to approach. Before the guard came close, the two wolves had already stood up, their hair was standing up, their sharp teeth were low and groaning, and their eyes were fixed on the guard. It looks like they are going to launch an attack and swooped up.

Gu Yuanbai was silent for a while, excited as if he had obtained a wild new toy, but his face remained calm, "What if they bit the wrong person?"

"They don't eat human flesh," Xue Yuan said. "The Sage feeds them with raw meat every day, so they won't be able to bite people to death. And if they really bite the wrong person, they should be able to approach the person who dares to approach the Sage with a knife."

Xue Yuan paused: "They are smart. They know what to bite and what not to bite. It's not wrong. As long as the sage's finger is broken, they have to rush up to the minister."

Gu Yuanbai leaned over, tentatively touched the wolf heads of the two wolves, and said slowly, "Those who know understand you are talking about wolves, but those who don't know you think you are talking about dogs."

Xue Yuan laughed in a sullen voice, and the embarrassed and decadent stubble also became handsome at this moment, "A wolf that meets a saint must become an obedient dog."

What he said was really low, Gu Yuanbai didn't hear it, his mind was taken away by these two majestic wolves, "What dog?"

"The minister just said that the sage can use them as dogs with confidence," Xue Yuan smiled slightly, "the teeth are broken, and there are more wolves in the minister's house. If they are thrown away, the sage will go directly to the minister's mansion and pick another one."

"If they can't protect the Sage," he pondered for a while, and wrote lightly, "then when the minister comes back, I will invite the Sage to eat a pot of wolf broth."

The two wolves lying beside Gu Yuanbai seemed to understand Xue Yuan's words, and they trembled all over, stood up with their tails tucked, and leaned under Gu Yuanbai's hands, whimpered and took the initiative to touch the fur on Gu Yuanbai's body.

Gu Yuanbai smiled, smoothed his hair, and was extremely ruthless, "Okay, I haven't eaten wolf meat yet."

The whimper of the two wolves grew louder.

Xue Yuan asked Tian Fusheng, "Mr. Tian, I don't know what happened to the two little wolf cubs that I gave to the saint before?"

Tian Fusheng felt a little frightened when he heard his words now, and said honestly: "The two wolf cubs sent by Mr. Xue are being raised in the Hundred Beast Garden."

"And that red fox?"

Tian Fusheng: "Also in the Garden of Beasts."

All were thrown to ashes.

Xue Yuan sighed, "Those two wolf cubs are clinging to each other, if I'm gone, the sage remembers to visit more."

Gu Yuanbai withdrew his hand, took the handkerchief from the palace attendant and wiped it, "Since you are sticky, do you know that you can only stick to me? The eunuchs and palace maids who serve them are not human?"

Different.

When Xue Yuan tamed these wolves, he took Gu Yuanbai's things and let them smell them one by one, but said: "This is the smell of your other master, your mother is the smell, understand?"

But this can't be said. If you are not careful, you will have to be cut off by the mothers of the wolf cubs.

Xue Yuan turned his head to the side, "The sage said yes. The sage said that he liked the minister's horse, and the minister brought it over. The horse is called Gale, and the sage can now send someone to take it to the stable. ."

"You..." Gu Yuanbai, "I really liked that horse, but things are urgent, Xue Qing is in need of a good horse to go to the northern border. You can keep it for yourself, so that I will not reward you. "

Another wolf and another horse. Gu Yuanbai always had a feeling that Xue Yuan wanted to leave everything to him before leaving.

As soon as the sage said this, Xue Yuan did not fight. He smiled and said ok, quietly watching the sage's five fingers brush across the wolf's hair, "The sage likes gray hair?"

"It doesn't matter if you like it or not," Gu Yuanbai said casually, "It's all you need to feel comfortable."

After he said this, he suddenly remembered Xue Yuan's vigorous hair, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't touch the wolf's head in an instant.

A few days ago, I was so busy that I seemed to have forgotten something, and then I suddenly remembered that what I forgot seemed to be the thing that was about to break Xue Yuan's life.

He really deserves to be the favored son of heaven. The protagonist in the article, Gu Yuanbai, wanted to cut off his sons and grandsons, so he ran into the 800-mile emergency report by such a coincidence.

Tomorrow is the expedition, Gu Yuanbai thought about it casually, if it is cut today, can it be mounted tomorrow

"Sacred," Xue Yuan spoke again after a while, "The minister said before that he wanted to give the jade to his future daughter-in-law, but that was just nonsense, what is dedicated to the saint is the saint, there is no need for it. Come back and say this."

Gu Yuanbai touched the jade wrench on his hand, turned around, and said in a deep nasal voice, "Huh?"

Xue Yuan smiled warmly, "I want to ask, is the reward I gave you before, still counted?"

Gu Yuanbai turned the jade finger back and forth, "Counting."

"Sacred Lord Longen," Xue Yuan said, "I want to bathe in the blessings of the Holy Lord before leaving."

"I want to take a dip... your bath water."

*

After Xue Yuan came out of the palace, he not only soaked in the bath water of the saint, but also left with a water bag.

The spring water in Gu Yuanbai's palace was regularly replaced and cleaned up, but Xue Yuan knew that the Sage had only washed his body this morning, and when he was talking to Xue Yuan, he could smell the fragrance of the dew as long as he got closer. Gu Yuanbai is a gentleman who counts his words. Even if Xue Yuan's request was a little unruly, he nodded and agreed.

Xue Yuan patted the bulging water bag, feeling happy.

His own body was also contaminated with some palace fragrances, mixed with a very weak medicinal fragrance. This scent is very similar to the scent on Sheng Shang's body. When Xue Yuan was soaking in the soup, he felt like Gu Yuanbai was by his side.

It was as if the two of them were naked, touching each other intimately.

Therefore, after soaking in the soup, Xue Yuan stood by the pool and calmed down for a while, before he could draw out his spirit from this beautiful fantasy.

After he left, in the palace.

Tian Fusheng spoke to the head guard secretly: "Look at Lord Xue, Xiaolang and Dalang sent it twice. I was afraid when I saw it, why isn't he afraid?"

The head guard was very vigilant. He stared closely at the two wolves who were allowed to lie down by the table by the sage, and replied, "Master Xue is bloody, and it's not surprising that he likes these."

Tian Fusheng sighed, "Master Xue has such a terrifying temperament, and it made me feel anxious when I looked at it. Such a person is not like that against the saint. The saint is very majestic, but you can see that he still has the courage to go for it. The spring water of the Holy One, it can be seen that this person can really be changed, but his lust cannot be changed."

The captain of the guard disagreed: "How can it be considered a lust, doesn't Master Xue just want to bathe in the blessings of the Holy Spirit, so as to seek comfort in his heart?"

Tian Fusheng paused, turned his head to look at him, and then remembered that the captain of the guard did not know the words that Xue Yuantong had expressed his heart to before. He shivered all over, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and he changed his words repeatedly: "That's right, Xiaoxiao said something wrong, Master Zhang, please don't take it seriously, Xiaoxiao's mouth is nonsense, you can't believe it."

The captain of the guard sighed and said gently: "Mr. Tian, next time, you must not say it so casually."

Tian Fusheng wiped his sweat, "Yes."

That night, when Gu Yuanbai fell asleep, the two wolves also lay down in front of the inner hall to rest. When the palace attendants withdrew from the inner hall in fear, they all kept their voices softer than usual.

But this night, Gu Yuanbai slept more deeply than usual.

When the next day dawned, it was the day when Xue Yuan set out for northern Xinjiang.

*

Gu Yuanbai took hundreds of officials to see the soldiers off. He looked solemn, and his eyebrows were full of heavy responsibilities, "Xue Qing, bring the soldiers and provisions to the border safe and sound, and then come back safe and sound."

Xue Yuan was already dressed in silver-white armor. The heavy armor was wrapped around him, and he was very mighty due to his tall stature. After saluting, he straightened up, lowered his head slightly, and stared into Gu Yuanbai's eyes.

The long hair that was tied high fell behind him, and he was fully prepared, so between the corners of his brows and his eyes, there was a faint sense of sternness and sharpness.

The scorching sun fell, the cold light was sharp, and it went straight forward.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Xue Yuan suddenly lifted up his robe and knelt neatly on the ground. Gu Yuanbai never thought that he would give such a big gift, and bent over to help him up, but when he was bending over, Xue Yuan suddenly straightened up and kissed Gu Yuanbai's face.

This time it was as fast as a hallucination, and no one saw it.

Gu Yuanbai stopped helping him.

"I'll stay for four or five months, you can't forget me," Xue Yuan whispered, and the heat rushed to Gu Yuanbai's face, "Wait for me to come back. Before I come back, don't let others touch you, whether it is A finger is still a strand of hair, okay?"

After suppressing for more than two months and learning the rules for more than two months, Xue Yuan knew that Gu Yuanbai wouldn't be able to do that.

Because Gu Yuanbai wouldn't like an obedient dog.

Gu Yuanbai did not get angry, he smiled slightly and said softly: "Not good."

"It doesn't matter," Xue Yuan smiled, "there are wolves protecting you, whoever dares to touch you, whoever touches you, will be bitten off by the wolves of the minister. When the minister comes back from the northern border, we will see who The fingers are missing from his hand, so the minister will bring the knife to the door to find trouble."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, looked straight, and kowtowed three times.

After the ceremony was over, he got up, got back on his horse neatly, his cloak suddenly fluttered, and his robes rattled.

"Departure."

Thousands of soldiers, horses and forages formed a long winding line, and the forages were protected by layers in the middle. In addition to Xue Yuan, there are dozens of talented people who have been found by the court to control locusts. In addition, there are hundreds of cars of medicinal materials.

The doctor accompanied hundreds of people, precisely to prevent diseases that may occur after the locust plague.

Each of these soldiers is powerful and tall. They have eaten enough food and salt for each meal. At this time, they are fully equipped and can not only hold a large knife and a shield, but also can support a heavy armor. And the horses are fat and strong, the cavalry is on the upper body, and the head is raised with a roar.

What roared was the sound of eating delicious horse food on weekdays.

There's no reason a team like this can't win.

Gu Yuanbai stood and watched the long line of people gradually disappear in front of him. The people beside him became bloody and breathing heavily because of this scene.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped his face slowly, thinking, give me a victory.

In a big victory, raising soldiers is like a silver tael that goes out like flowing water, which is exchanged for victory.

Let the nomads come to see what the soldiers of Daheng have become today, and let them see what the emperor of Daheng has become.

And whether the emperor and soldiers like this have enough strength to make them whimper and scream.

Gu Yuanbai was looking forward to it.
