Summer is gone in a flash, and October is coming.
At that time, the barbarian army was a little ready to move and sneaky.
According to the rules, the northern border army began to argue with them again, using their knives and guns from time to time to spy on each other.
But this time the barbarian army's climate was not as good as it was at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the year, the barbarian army suffered a big setback, suffered a lot of losses, and lost a lot of people. It would be too embarrassing for them to gather supplies and regroup within half a year.
This time the barbarian army only had a small number of troops, mainly to harass and harass the people in the border towns, grab something and so on.
The Northern Xinjiang Army dealt with them as if they were chickens, and didn't worry about it at all.
But if there is no pressure in the military, the soldiers will not be able to bear it and put their minds on other places.
For example, which village lady gave the marshal a handkerchief recently
So-and-so's little daughter-in-law came to the barracks again to inquire about the population of their marshal's family
Anyway, there are endless gossips, but rumors are always spreading more and more crooked.
In the beginning, other people were interested in the Marshal, but later he became the Marshal with a bad style of life, seeing girls and daughters-in-law, and making others jealous because of him.
When Qiao Ding came to the Northern Border Army for a meeting, he heard such rumors and laughed immediately: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"
He laughed for too long, and Gu Chao was annoyed, so he yelled at him: "Do you deserve a beating?"
Qiao Ding suppressed his face anyway, looked Gu Chao up and down again, and said, "I can't tell, Marshal Gu, you are so charming."
Gu Chao was worried: "If Ah Ye knows what you said, what will you do?"
Qiao Ding snorted: "That girl is not here, how could she know."
Gu Chao shook his head: "You don't understand, her carrier pigeon..."
"Will her carrier pigeon still sue?" Qiao Ding taught him a lesson: "I said Gu Chao, you are a bit promising, and you have lost your dignity before you get your wife. You are a man, so you can't get used to these things." woman!"
Gu Chao glared at Qiao Ding: "It's not your family's business, but you are making sarcastic remarks!"
Qiao Ding snorted: "Even if it's about my family, I'd say the same thing. It's just a woman, but can the world be turned upside down?"
Gu Chao stood up and pushed Qiao Ding out.
Qiao Ding pressed the door tightly, angrily: "Why are you pushing me!"
"Keep a distance from you, as if I don't know you."
Qiao Ding clicked his tongue fiercely: "Gu Chao, you really are her mother's grandson!"
After all, Gu Chao didn't really drive Qiao Ding away, he sat down again

, and affectionately took Joe Ding's hand.
Qiao Ding waved his hand away in disgust, and sneered: "The face changes so quickly, do you want to ask for something?"
Gu Chao said: "I see that the barbarian army is not in a good mood, and some petty thefts are not dangerous to expel. How about this, my vanguard will withdraw first, and your garrison will make up for it. For a while, at the border crossing, your garrison is the only one." Shou."
It stands to reason that whether it is the Northern Xinjiang Army or the garrison camp, if it is to put down the chaos, it will be meritorious. Now the barbarian army is fighting a small fight. At this time, the Northern Xinjiang Army will control the border. The barbarian army has retreated. The medal of merit was placed on Gu Chao's head, but if the garrison came to manage the side entrance and added meritorious service later, it would be Qiao Ding.
The garrison camp is composed of soldiers from Kunzhou City. The fat meat of the barbarian army has always been eaten by the Northern Xinjiang army. Qiao Ding did not expect that Gu Chao would take the initiative to send such a good thing to him. He asked: "Should you Didn't you want to withdraw to hide from those women? Gu Chao, you don't distinguish between public and private."
Gu Chao shook his head and said, "I'm going to Beijing next month."
Qiao Ding raised his eyebrows.
Gu Chao blushed: "I have three and a half months leave."
Soldiers also have holidays, but Gu Chao has no family members, his biological parents have long since lost contact with him, and his adoptive parents wish him never to show up again. Naturally, Gu Chao doesn't need to have a holiday. He has saved up a few years of holidays to add up. Hui can scrape together three and a half months, and he has already applied for it, and he will spend it together during the Chinese New Year this year.
He handed the booklet to the governor of Kunzhou, and the governor of Kunzhou helped to submit it back to the capital. Now he just waited for the reply from the capital and handed over the paperwork, so he could go straight away. Today Gu Chao called Qiao Ding Come to the meeting and talk about this.
Qiao Ding hadn't thought that Gu Chao would have the guts to say, "I've only received the letter for two months, and I'm about to go to Beijing. You've grown your skin, so you're rushing to get beaten?"
Gu Chao said: "Don't talk nonsense, the third prince is a reasonable person."
Qiao Ding: "Didn't your legs get better last month?"
Gu Chao said again: "A Ye said that during the New Year, there will be a lantern festival in Kyoto."
"So you went to watch the Lantern Festival with her?" Qiao Ding was incredulous: "Are you crazy about wanting to marry a wife? Don't care about business, go to the Lantern Festival?"
"That's not the case." Gu Chao explained: "On the day of the Lantern Festival, there will be a big operation at Zhengemen. She mentioned it to me. I don't know the details, but since it is a big operation, it must be very dangerous. I am not at ease. I want to go and see, but she doesn't know yet, don't tell her, she will definitely not let me go if she knows."
Qiao Ding curled her lips: "I don't know her well, so tell her where to go."
Gu Chao couldn't help but smile again: "I don't know if she is happy to see me
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). "
"I don't feel happy." Qiao Ding was forced to eat dog food, so he poured cold water on him: "She may still be angry with you, it's fine if she doesn't see anyone, but when she sees someone, she will get angry again."
Gu Chao was suddenly worried: "Really?"
Qiao Ding didn't speak, just looked at him.
Seeing that Qiao Ding was teasing him, Gu Chao breathed a sigh of relief: "No, she is not a stingy person."
Qiao Ding didn't bother to talk to him, the man was hopeless.
The following days will be the handover of people from both sides. The Northern Army has been guarding the border. To be honest, it is quite tiring. Taking advantage of this time when the marshal is chasing his wife, the Northern Army can also have a holiday and have a good year. For a while, There is an endless stream of people asking for leave from the Northern Xinjiang Army, and they all want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go back and reunite with their families.
The garrison camp is not so comfortable this time. The garrison camp used to be able to go home during the New Year holidays. This time they have to be forced to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. There was no way to hide, the barbarian army had no morale this time, and they guarded it easily.
In November, when the confirmation documents from the capital came out, Gu Chao could have a holiday. He left that afternoon and went directly to Beijing.
Qiao Ding didn't even have time to practice it for him. Qiao Ding even prepared a list. He wanted Gu Chao to go to Beijing this time to buy for him as a proxy, but Gu Chao ran faster than a rabbit.
In mid-November, Gu Chao arrived in Kyoto as he wished.
It has been almost seven or eight years since the last time he came to Beijing. Looking at the streets and alleys, Gu Chao looked very different from what he remembered, and felt a little emotional for a while.
He first settled down in the inn, and then according to the rules, he went to his adoptive parents' home to give a New Year's gift. His adoptive parents didn't welcome him very much, and his brothers and sisters didn't even know him. Just do your part and leave.
Afterwards, Gu Chao went to the Marquis of the Yue Kingdom. Yan Zhenli is now old and has already retired, but because of his title, he still lives in Kyoto. Yan Zhenli is still in good health, so he is very happy to see Gu Chaolai, so he pulls him Ask him about things in Kunzhou, and make gestures with him.
Gu Chao honestly talked about the past with his teacher. During dinner, the Marquis of Yue suggested: "Since you are in Beijing, don't stay at the inn. If you have a place at home, come and stay at home."
Just as Gu Chao was about to decline, he saw Yan Qiu, a young junior brother with smiling eyes at the dining table, and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Gu, you don't want to come and live at home because it's inconvenient to have so many people, and will it delay your meeting your lover?"
Gu Chao's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at the little junior in disbelief.
Yan Qiu was still smiling, his eyes bent like the moon: "Brother Gu, is our Aye's mouth sweet?"
