Qiao Ding accompanied Gu Chao to drink away his worries, and stayed with him most of the night.
In the morning, Gu Chao finally fell asleep, and Qiao Ding wanted to go back to his room to catch up on sleep with dark circles under his eyes. Knot
Just as his head hit the pillow, the outside door rang again. Shou
Wei came to report that people from the Northern Xinjiang Army had come to find General Qiao. Joe
He must have thought he was looking for Gu Chao. After all, the dignified coach didn't return overnight, so it's normal for his subordinates to be worried.
Qiao Ding ordered the guards to take the soldiers from the Northern Border Army directly to the guest room. but
But the guard said, "The other party said they came here specially to find you, General."
"I?"
Qiao Ding didn't know what was going on, but the Northern Border Army and the garrison were a cooperative unit, so he was afraid that something might happen, so he had to go there wearing his clothes. Knot
As soon as Guo went out, she met Rong Ye's face. Joe
Certainly"… "
Qiao Ding turned around and asked the guard, "Is that her?"
The guard nodded, "Boy Rong said he came here specially to find you, General." Joe
Certainly"… "
Rong Ye used to work in the garrison, and many people in the garrison knew her. Later, she switched to the Northern Border Army. Now that she came, the people in the garrison naturally thought that she was looking for General Qiao in the name of the Northern Border Army. Yes, I reported it truthfully.
Qiao Ding was in a very complicated mood. He felt that he was innocent. What happened to these two people? They came one in the middle of the night and the other early in the morning. Did they come here specifically to fight against him? He is not interested in their affairs, as for one or two of them coming to find fault with him? Joe
Ding sat down on the chair, frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Rong Ye obediently stood in the hall and saluted Qiao Ding.
Qiao Ding waved his hand, "Don't do this, why are you looking for me?"
Rong Ye said with a natural face, "I'm going back to Beijing today. Before leaving, I'll say goodbye to General Qiao and visit my doctor along the way."
Ding sneered, "There's no need to say goodbye, you..." He glanced at the guard who hadn't left, and then changed his words, "You kid, it's reassuring to leave early, but what are you looking for?"
Rong Ye stared at Qiao Ding, "Marshal Gu said, General, you are sick." Qiao Ding
set "..." to
Said that Qiao Ding was a man of loyalty, he immediately covered his chest and coughed twice, "It's typhoid fever, I'm not feeling well..."
Rong Ye said, "Marshal said you are seriously ill."
Qiao Ding hurriedly touched his neck again, "Throat hurts too, it hurts so much, I'm going dumb...""
Also said you have a fever. "
Qiao Ding covered his head again, "I'm dizzy, I can't, I have to go back and lie down again, if you have nothing to do, go on your own, I won't see you off..." Rong
Ye finally said, "Oh, I remembered wrongly, the marshal said that you were injured, that you fell off while riding and broke your leg."
Qiao Ding "..."
Qiao Ding still couldn't tell that the girl was playing tricks on him, so he stopped pretending to be sick, and patted the table and said, "What do you want?"
Ye glanced at the guards around him.
Qiao Ding waved his hands angrily, "Go out."
Clearing away all the people around, Rong Ye sat down on the lower chair without waiting for Qiao Ding's invitation, and asked, "Is the marshal in the garrison?"
Qiao Ding didn't speak, but stared at her warily.
Rong Ye said, "He was injured, so he couldn't go out of the city at night. If he was looking for a place to spend the night, according to his status, he would either go to the state government office or the garrison. I have already been to the government office. He is not here. Presumably It's here with General Joe."
Qiao Ding turned his face away, "I don't know, I didn't see him."
Rong Ye knew that Qiao Ding was lying, so she didn't expose it, she just said, "I came here specially to find the general today. Apart from saying goodbye, I have something else I want to entrust to the general."
Qiao Ding ignored her.
Rong Ye pursed his lips and said, "The marshal may not be very happy these days. He is boring, he doesn't like to talk, and he won't tell others about his happiness and anger. The general is his friend, and just like him, he has grown into a talent at a young age." , like-minded, I hope that when the general is free, he can go to the marshal more, talk to him, ride horses and shoot arrows, in short, care about him more."
Qiao Ding sneered, and deliberately said, "Don't worry, he is my brother, and I will definitely take care of him. Not only that, I will also ask Mr. Fu Yin to show him someone to look at. If he moves quickly, he will be a father next year." ."Allow
Ye's expression froze, and then he nodded, "That's my trouble."
Qiao Ding was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Rong Ye again, seeing that she didn't look like she was pretending to be generous, and asked tentatively, "You don't feel bad about him marrying someone else?"
"It's not uncomfortable." Rong Ye said calmly, "Nothing is more uncomfortable than wishful thinking."
Qiao Ding "..." Rong
Ye Dao "I'm not uncomfortable, not lost, not upset, I'm just angry, very special angry, since I approached him, liked him, and now let him go, my heart is like flying from the flat ground to the sky, and then falling into the sky." The abyss, but it's all over now, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." Joe
Open your mouth and want to say something. Allow
Ye said again, "I entrusted you today, it's not that I still miss him in my heart, it's just that I am a person who started well and ended well. Since I really liked him, I naturally hope that he will live a smooth and happy life in the future. I think he also hopes that I will live better in the future." .” Joe
Ding immediately nodded, "He definitely will!"
"I guess he may be a little unhappy these days, but it is also possible that he will not be unhappy. After all, it may not matter to him whether I go or not. If he is not unhappy, then take what I said before , Is it self-indulgent." Joe
He must immediately say "No, he will definitely feel uncomfortable, he actually... hey, he..."
Rong Ye waved his hand, "You don't need to say anything, it's getting late, I should go."
She said, got up, saluted Qiao Ding, and left. Joe
Looking at her back, no matter how you look at it, you feel pitiful, this little girl, it's not easy.
Qiao Ding was restless and didn't want to sleep anymore, so he went around to the guest room, wanting to chat with Gu Chao again.
As a result, he opened the door of the guest room, but there was no one inside. he
He stopped the passing servant and asked, "Where is Marshal Gu?"
I never knew, I could only shake my head. Joe
I don't know when Gu Chao left, but I couldn't help but sigh again.
At the same time, outside the inn across the street from the government office.
Gu Chao leaned on his crutches, standing there unkempt and reeking of alcohol.
Rong Su was ordering Rong Qing to pack his luggage, and the person who went downstairs looked at the wooden stake, frowning and asked, "What are you doing?"
Gu Chao didn't speak, but stared at him firmly. Allow
Su winked at Rong Qing and asked Rong Qing to get him away.
Rong Qing stepped forward to pull Gu Chao, trying to keep him from making trouble, but Gu Chao was limping, but he was strong and stood firmly, so he just stood there without moving. Allow
He couldn't move it, but when he turned around, he saw his third uncle and third aunt also came out of the inn. willow
Wei and Rong Leng came down side by side. The two of them came down after seeing Gu Chao upstairs. Liu Wei was fine and kind, with a warm smile on his face all the time. Rong Leng couldn't do it, his face was so dark When the ink came out, Gu Chao's gaze was like being pricked by a needle, wishing to poke dozens of eyes on Gu Chao's body. willow
Wei was the first to ask, "Is Marshal Gu okay?"
Gu Chao glanced at a certain window on the second floor, he knew it was Rong Ye's room, but Rong Ye didn't come down, he felt that she was still angry with him.
Gu Chao clenched his fists. He drank all night last night, and now he is still a little confused, but he is very glad that he is stupid, because what he has to do next is better than being sober.
Then, he raised his chin, facing the deep and dark eyes of the third prince, and said loudly, "Third prince, I still have a leg! Hit it!"
