Xue Yuan stood on the city wall for a day, the cold wind whizzed, he knew it was cold.
When the moon was high in the sky, he went to find General Xue, the blood in his eyes looming under the candlelight.
General Xue frowned and asked him, "What's the matter with you?"
"The matter in the northern border is stable," Xue Yuan didn't answer, he opened the tent's curtain and inhaled the cold air outside, each inhalation was sour and bitter, "General Xue, the people of Xiwandan have it. He and Rilian are too busy to call in the winter, at least, Northern Xinjiang will have a month of leisure, right?"
General Xue's beard froze, "Quickly put the curtain back. What are you asking about this? It is true that the northern border has a rest period for a month or two, and the enemy and our army must prepare for another war."
Xue Yuan retracted his gaze that looked up at the moon outside, and turned to put it on General Xue's body. His expression was inexorable darkness, and said, "General Xue, give me a month."
"I'm going to do something."

After Gu Yuanbai finished the Taifuqing and changed the 120-cent golden egg back to 12 cents per pound, he missed the previous honest and useful Taifuqian again, and gave it to the filial piety. His predecessor, Taifuqing, sent a letter.
Taifuqing, who received the envelope from the sage in filial piety, was flattered, and immediately replied to Gu Yuanbai. The letter showed his loyalty and implied that the sage's trust was unreturnable, and he could only continue to do his best for the sage.
Gu Yuanbai was in a good mood, so he reassured him that as long as he returned from filial piety, then Taifu Qing could take office again.
The current Taifu Qing, he first handed over the part-time job to someone he trusted.
These days, the court is not inaccessible. A good thing happened a few days ago, that is, another iron ore was discovered in Jingnan.
Jing Hunan is simply a hidden treasure. After Gu Yuanbai took the gold mine in Chen Jinyin's hands, he surrounded the mine to dig for gold. As a result, the gold had not been dug out yet, and another big surprise came.
Gu Yuanbai wanted to laugh when he thought of this. He laughed and reviewed the memorial. It had been a day since the government had been dealt with. Such a day went by too fast, he got up and walked outside the hall to take a look. At this time, it was only after Shen Shi, but the sky was as dark as night.
Tian Fusheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, and the prince sent someone to send a message to invite you to go to Zhuangzi outside the capital to soak in the spring, tomorrow, on the day of rest, would you like to go?"
Gu Yuanbai asked, "Is that the Zhuangzi from Lu Feng that I rewarded him?"
"Yes," Tian Fusheng felt a pity in his heart, "that Zhuangzi should be left in the hands of the sage."
Gu Yuanbai smiled indifferently, turned the jade wrench in his hand, and pondered for a moment: "When my power fell, I heard the benefits of that Zhuangzi. Since I have invited the prince, let's go together."
Tian Fusheng replied, "Yes."

On the second day, the carriages in the capital went to the suburbs of Beijing.
Gu Yuanbai was reading the book on the carriage, but he couldn't read it. He watched the scenery outside the window fly by, holding the stove in silence.
The sage's carriage was also divided into two cabinets, the inner and outer cabinets. In the outer cabinet, the servants were cooking tea. In the cabinet, Chu Wei was holding a book and reading, and the graceful San Yuyan was sitting upright and reading to the sage.
Hanlin escorts, gentlemen accompany, as clean as the early winter weather.
Kong Yilin was really tall, and the carriage could not fit him, so he and the rest of the people sat in the carriage behind him. It was also when he heard that the Sage was going to leave the capital, so he returned to Hanlin and came with a group of colleagues to petition with Gu Yuanbai to accompany him, so that he could relieve the boredom with the Sage on the road and in Quanzhuang.
Chu Wei said that he was reading a book, but his eyes were a little dazed. Occasionally, he glanced at the saint unconsciously, and hurriedly fell like a startled butterfly.
However, duplicity can not stop a word "thinking". When he looked at it next time, it was a meal. The dew from the cold wind outside the window was left on the saint's face, and on the black eyelashes, there were actually gray and white frost flowers.
"Sir," Chu Wei anxiously took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gu Yuanbai, "It's cold outside, so close the windows to avoid the cold."
Gu Yuanbai came back to his senses and looked at his handkerchief strangely: "Is there dirt on my face?"
"It's Ningshuang," Chang Yuyan stopped studying and interjected, "Hasn't the sage ever felt cold?"
Gu Yuanbai said with a smile: "Mo Yue is colder than Ningshuang, so I can't feel the coldness."
Seeing that he hadn't reached out to take the handkerchief, Chu Wei frowned and put his hand on it, wiping the dew and frost from Gu Yuanbai's face. Gu Yuanbai, who was used to being served, turned his face and asked him to wipe the side of his face.
The palace attendant of the outer cabinet whispered: "Sir, the tea is ready."
San Yuyan took the tea, and as soon as the water came out of the pot, the rich tea fragrance filled the entire carriage. The green tea is heavy and clear, and the fragrance is deep mixed with the clearness of the snow-capped mountains. It is unusual to smell it.
Chang Yuyan took a deep breath of the aroma and exclaimed, "What kind of tea is this tea?"
"It's Huangshan thorn tea," said the palace attendant who was making tea outside. "This Huangshan is the snow mountain in Yizhou. The number of rains every year must be within 16 times, and the sunny days must be more than 360 days. There is only one place in the world that produces Huangshan thorn catechu. Every year, only in the period of Jingzhe to Guyu, and in the early autumn period, the thorn catechu tastes the best.”1
"Last year, it rained a lot, so the sage did not eat thorn catechu, but Shuangjing green. The bowl that Mr. Chang is eating now is the new tea that was picked in the early autumn."
Chang Yuyan suddenly felt that the teacup in his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties, he stood up and sat up straight, "Thank you for your love, and let this minister taste this thorn tea today."
Gu Yuanbai also just learned that this tea is so particular, rain and sunny days are not under the control of people, and in this way, it is even more precious, he smiled, "If you like it, then come and wrap two A portion of tea leaves for Chang Qing and Chu Qing to keep."
The answer was yes, Gu Yuanbai smiled, lifted up the two who were thanking him, and said with a relaxed smile: "No matter how good the tea is, it is not as good as the two gentlemen's hearts towards me. No matter how precious it is, it depends on me. In the eyes, making the two of you like it is where all the money is."
The saint simply never forgets to win people's hearts.
For Gu Yuanbai, the sweet words between monarchs and ministers are just casual words. You can listen to me when I say it. Everyone is an adult. Beautiful words can give you goosebumps more than the confession and love letter of future generations.
But when the sage said this casually, Chu Wei was shocked, and the hand held by the sage shrank, and almost subconsciously wanted to speak up.
But then, reason grabbed him. He frowned secretly, not wanting to think deeply, and said with San Yuyan, "Thank you Lord Longen."

The two wolves followed Gu Yuanbai closely, the collars around their necks were tied to the car, and they ran to catch up on foot.
The two wolves were very protective of their masters, and they did not dare to relax after running for an hour. Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was slow. The guards on the road were afraid that they would be hungry and bite, and they kept throwing fresh raw meat for them.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at Quanzhuang, and Gu Yuanbai was helped out of the carriage.
Those who have close contact with Gu Yuanbai have long known the temperament of these two wolves, and they will hang a medicine bag on their bodies from time to time. At this moment, the captain of the guards touched the finger of the sage openly. Not only did he touch it, but he also held it vacantly. The two wolves just watched and didn't pounce.
The carriages behind him also stopped, and a long line of people came down. Prince He led people to greet the Sage, and after seeing so many people, he didn't say anything, he muttered: "The Sage came just in time, Zhuangzhong has prepared the wine and food, wait for the Sage to rest, and then go to the bubble spring. ."
Gu Yuanbai nodded: "Okay."
After eating, I slept for a while. Gu Yuanbai got up in good spirits, asked someone to prepare things, and went to take a dip in the spring.
In fact, if there is nothing in the palace, Gu Yuanbai came here with the prince for the outcropping spring pool. While soaking, watching the scenery and drinking small wine, oh, he can't drink small wine, but such a beautiful thing can only be enjoyed outside the palace.
Everyone waited outside the dense forest and the path, only the two wolves who had had enough rest followed behind Gu Yuanbai. These two wolves were more vicious than a dozen guards, and it was difficult for others to follow them in, but they didn't care about anything.
Therefore, the people also stood guard outside with peace of mind. Gu Yuanbai led two wolves and walked slowly along the smell of sulfur.
Below Quanzhuang is the hot spring vein, where there are hot springs, the flowers and plants in the village are prosperous and beautiful in all seasons, and the temperature is like spring. The cloak has been taken off, and it is not cold in a single coat.
Gu Yuanbai jumped into the water, the two wolves blocked the path, and after closing their eyes on the saint in the pool, the two wolves who were sleeping didn't know what they heard, they stood up suddenly, their eyes vigilant and fierce, after a while Son, inexplicably dissipated these guards and fell back to the ground.
The sound of the water was pattering, and Gu Yuanbai felt extremely comfortable. Just as he was about to close his eyes, there was a sudden noise in the grass. He was about to turn his head, but a big hand covered his eyes, covering his eyes, and he didn't know who was behind him and called out, "Sacred Lord. ."
The sound cracked like a mute.
Bloody smell, dusty smell.
Gu Yuanbai breathed for a while, this hand was so hot that Gu Yuanbai's eyelids were hot. The people behind him were so close to him, but the two wolves didn't bark. This is impossible, unless this person is Xue Yuan.
But Xue Yuan was in northern Xinjiang.
Reason said it was impossible, but said solemnly: "Xue Jiuyao, you are so courageous."
No one spoke for a long time, only the sound of gurgling water was heard. Just when Gu Yuanbai felt bad and was about to frown, the person behind him suddenly laughed, lowered his body, and said in Gu Yuanbai's ear, "You haven't forgotten me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already jumped into the pool, and all the wind and dust in his body came mixed with the spring water, but he still didn't let go of the hand covering Gu Yuanbai's eyes.
After Gu Yuanbai knew it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the faint fire rose up again, and he lifted his foot and kicked in the direction of the swaying water.
The ankles were held, and the rough and hot hands were tightly circled. The water waves are getting bigger and bigger, and people seem to be getting closer to Gu Yuanbai. Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand to remove Xue Yuan's hand covering his eyes, but it was like an iron arm, motionless.
"Sir," Xue Yuan seemed to be laughing, but his voice was too harsh, as if it was still filled with heavy wind and sand, and his laughter seemed strange, "As soon as I entered Beijing, I heard that you are here and that you are going to marry. Concubine."
His hand began to rub slowly, really like a stone, "Who is that woman."
Killing intent secretly emerged, and no matter how well hidden the hostility in his tone was, there would still be signs of it.
Gu Yuanbai couldn't see, and he was even more sensitive to the sounds on the side of his ears. He heard Xue Yuan's increasingly heavier breathing, keenly aware of what was wrong with Xue Jiuyao at this time, his eyelids jumped a few times, "Let me go. hand."
Instead, Xue Yuan tightened his hands.
"Xue Jiuyao, you obviously heard what I said but didn't do it. I haven't asked you why you are here," Gu Yuanbai's face turned cold, and he tried to retract his leg: "Why are you so disobedient."
This sentence seems to be like a sword stabbed towards the beast, and it is so sharp that it pierces the key point. Xue Yuan suddenly pressed the water spray and approached as if shocked, and pressed Gu Yuanbai against the shore amid the swaying sound waves. The spring water washed ashore in a large amount, and the water behind pushed Xue Yuan forward .
He still covered Gu Yuanbai's eyes, his teeth biting into the flesh, "I'm not obedient, I'm not obedient enough?!"
The smell of dried blood mixed with the smell of sulphur rushed to the face, and the surging water also slapped Gu Yuanbai's face and hair, and the calmness on Gu Yuanbai's face was also torn apart. Pulling it to the front, his temples bulged and his face was ugly, "What are you driving me crazy?! You are also called obedient?"
"You motherfucker is going to accept a concubine into the palace! You're going to marry a wife," Xue Yuan's eyes were red, his hand holding Gu Yuanbai's chin was shaking, and he was controlling his strength, "This time, you want me to be obedient. "You think I'm not calm enough?"
"How can you be obedient, see you marrying a wife, see your harem beauties three thousand, and see you die in the bed of that group of women!"
The heavy breathing hit Gu Yuanbai's face, Gu Yuanbai's breathing was rapid, his mind was throbbing in pain, and his heart was faster than ever. He let go of Xue Yuan, took a few deep breaths, and then seemed to calm down, "Go back."
He tried his best to be rational and calm his breath: "Go back to your frontier."
Looking at his ruthless face, Xue Yuan suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground beside Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai's breath cooled, and he said word by word, "Even if I don't accept the concubine, it's none of your business."
"It shouldn't be in front of me, and in front of me," Gu Yuanbai said, and his anger rose again, "What are you thinking, what are you trying to do? Why are you so bold!"
Weak people have to control even their temper tantrums. Gu Yuanbai tried his best to suppress it, but Xue Yuan stopped talking. After a while, he lowered his voice, exhausted, "I have been protecting my back on the battlefield, for fear that when I come back, there will be scars all over my back and I will not be able to leave them. Your nails are scratched."
What do I do to get nail marks on your back
Gu Yuanbai was so angry that he was about to sneer, but Xue Yuan suddenly grabbed his hand, put it in front of his left chest, and said, "Touch your heart."
Gu Yuanbai's hand was pressed by him, and it was placed on the left chest layer by layer, but something came out of Gu Yuanbai's slender fingers, rubbing it on Xue Yuan's palm, Xue Yuan The dark expression on his face condensed, and his dry eyes suddenly became a little more surprised.
Gu Yuanbai's face changed, "Xue Jiuyao!"
Xue Yuan's palm was itchy, and the tip of his nose was also itchy. Crazy jealousy and jealousy were torn apart by this shock. He explained in a hoarse voice, "I just want you to touch your conscience, not you."
Gu Yuanbai sneered, even if there was no one around, even if he had no strength to hold a chicken, his aura was not soft at all, and he didn't want to fall under anyone at all, "Heh."
Xue Yuan's voice suddenly dropped, begging, "Gu Lian, let me kiss."
Gu Yuanbai pursed his lips tightly, and the color of his lips was extremely beautiful under the spring pool.
He didn't say refusal, nor did he agree, under the mist, his face seemed to be softened and hardened by the heat. Xue Yuan was fascinated and stepped forward, the tip of his nose touched, and the distance between his lips was enough to speak.
Xue Yuan said in a low voice, "Are you going to accept your concubine into the palace?"
Every time he said a word, his lips seemed to be close to his lips.
Gu Yuanbai was icy cold, as if unmoved, he even breathed steadily, "It's none of your business."
This is what Xue Yuan likes to say, Xue Yuan's breathing is already disordered, he smiled, "Don't accept the palace concubine, you are not in good health, and you can't stand women."
Gu Yuanbai sneered and curled his lips, "What do you mean?"
"I won't have a wife, I won't have a woman," Xue Yuan was full of heat, and the dew condensed on his sword eyebrows, "We are each other's companions, I am good to you, make you comfortable, warm your hands and feet, OK?"
Gu Yuanbai lowered his voice, "Get out."
"I won't get out," Xue Yuan leaned closer, leaning on his body, his strong body was like a raging wolf, his whole body screamed loudly to get close, to get love, "Don't you believe what I said?"
Gu Yuanbai sneered, but Xue Yuan took his hand and went to touch his hot hand across his soaked robe.
"I think you feel uncomfortable, have a headache, thirst for blood, and want to kill people," Xue Yuan's hand still didn't let go of Gu Yuanbai's eyes, "If you want to cut it, you can break it with force. , there are no rules, I don't like you, but Gu Yuanbai, I like you so much, I don't want to be like this when I see you, but I can't control it."
"I don't want to be like a beast in rut, I want to learn the gentleman's style like Chu Wei." Breathing to the neck, Xue Yuan sucked Gu Yuanbai's Adam's apple, hoarse, "But there is no way, as long as I think of you , I couldn't hold back. I ran for fifteen days, day and night, and ran from the northern Xinjiang to the capital in fifteen days. I originally just wanted to ask if you wanted to marry a concubine."
He let go of Gu Yuanbai's hand, and instead went to serve the emperor who was covering his eyes with great skill.
"I'm obedient, I'm very obedient," Xue Yuan grinned, raised his head and kissed Gu Yuanbai, "My lord treats me like a dog, so I can't just come and go like this."
The space of two separate people seems to be two separate people, nothing to do with emperors or officials, but two people with complete personalities.
Gu Yuanbai finally spoke, his breathing began to wheeze, his white neck was raised, as slender and beautiful as a dying deer, his Adam's apple rolled on it, and sexy drops of water fell, "Are you obedient? Haha."
Xue Yuan licked the drops of water with his mouth, Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand, grabbed his black hair hard, and ordered, "Bow your head."
Xue Yuan still used his hands, "I can't lower my head now, and I can't let go of my hand so that you can see me."
Gu Yuanbai's face showed a slight sullen look.
Xue Yuandao: "Because I'm too ugly now, I'll scare you and I can't let you see it."
After Gu Yuanbai felt comfortable, Xue Yuan took this hand and pinched Gu Yuanbai's chin carefully, and kissed him a few times. You don't like me yet, but that's okay."
His laughter was finally a little better this time, and then he whispered softly.
"Gu Lian, I have a lifetime to spend with you."
