In the 18th year of Qianning, in autumn, the camp of the Northwest Dayu Army.

In the Northwest Gobi, it is cold in autumn, and the cool wind is biting.

Outside the tent of a camp in the army, two guards who had just been released from duty were moving their limbs that were a little stiff from the cold. While listening to the voices of crying and laughing from time to time in the tent, they couldn't help but start gossiping.

"It's been a few days, and the general hasn't recovered yet?"

"No, as long as I have free time, I stare at the family letter. I start to cry when I read it, and I start to laugh when I cry. I counted it, and it's the seventh day."

"I don't know if something happened to the general's family, but I heard that this family letter took several months to reach the general's hands. The sky is high and the earth is far away, and the battle is not over yet, so I can't go back if I have something to do."

At this point, the two looked at each other, thinking of their relatives at home, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh... I don't know when this battle will be over."

And the person who was gossiped in the tent was constantly rubbing the letter paper in his hand, recalling many past events, he couldn't help but was about to cry again.

"General."

A man dressed as a lieutenant general walked into the tent and saw that his general was saddened by himself with a letter from his family. He couldn't help comforting him and said, "The man has passed away, please give me condolences."

Li Wenkang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed. After so many years and so many places, he finally found traces of his family members. He wanted to find them himself, but he was ordered to go out when war broke out.

Fortunately, the family has a good wife who is willing to help him find his relatives.

His wife and children have been away for so long, and he has traveled around with soldiers and fought for more than a year, and finally received a letter from his family recently.

He took the family letter that took a long time to arrive in his hands with full expectation, but after reading it, he was both sad and happy.

The sad thing is that his mother and younger sister have both passed away, but the happy thing is that his younger sister still has two sons, two daughters and four orphans alive, and the letter said that the eldest daughter resembles his mother.

It's just that the letter said that these children don't seem to be living very well.

Li Wenkang went to the bedside of the back tent and took out a box. There were two things in the box.

A suicide note that every soldier who went to the battlefield must leave, and there is also a small portrait that his sister asked him to draw for her when she was young.

The scene of the two brothers and sisters chasing and fighting over this small portrait is still vivid in my memory, but before he handed it over to his sister, the family suffered a catastrophe.

He was rescued by his family's loyal servants and escaped death in the fire. Later, he joined the army under his name to avoid the pursuit of his enemies and fought in the army under his name.

After that, thanks to His Majesty's grace, the grievances of the family were cleared up.

With no worries, he began to look for relatives everywhere. After more than ten years, he finally heard from his family.

Li Wenkang looked at the yellowed portrait of his younger sister in his hand, and couldn't stop crying.

He suddenly thought that there must be something for the deputy general to come to him at this time, and put the small portrait together with the family letter into the box containing the suicide note.

"But what's the military situation?" Li Wenkang walked out from the back tent and straightened his military uniform.

The lieutenant general saluted and said: "The vanguard battalion will go back to the main camp to report. The general will let you go there."

"it is good."

Li Wenkang immediately put on his armor and rushed to the main tent.

The generals from all over the army gathered together, listened to the vanguard battalion's report on the military situation ahead, discussed the battle situation, and then dispersed to prepare for the next deployment.

"General Li stay."

Li Wenkang had fought in the northwest side before, and he was quite familiar with the terrain and military affairs here. He was left behind by the general and explained the military situation nearby in detail for the vanguard battalion. It didn't end until sunset.

"Report-"

When military affairs came again, the general ordered Li Wenkang and Li Wenkang to go separately.

Li Wenkang walked out of the tent together with the guard of the vanguard battalion, looking at the young and promising guard of the vanguard battalion beside him, he suddenly thought of his great niece who had never met but resembled his mother.

It seems that I am sixteen now, and I have reached the age to say goodbye.

With a thought in his mind, he pulled the guard aside and said, "I think the guard is a good-looking talent, so I don't know if there is a marriage? I have a niece, who looks like a fish and a wild goose, a moon-like shame, but she can still be married and guard."

The guard was sparse and polite, and said with a calm expression: "I already have my own heart, and I have planned not to marry her unless I have to. Thank you General Li for your kindness."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.

Li Wenkang refused to give up, and chased after him: "I have a small portrait, although it is not her own, but it is said that there are seven or eight parts of it, why don't you take a look first and then think about it?"

The guard didn't answer any more, just saluted again, and left quickly with his entourage.

Li Wenkang sighed: "It's a pity."

The lieutenant-general at the side had followed Li Wenkang for many years, and it was rare for his general to admire anyone so straightforwardly, and even wanted to marry his niece to him, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why do you value this guard so much?"

Li Wenkang looked at the back of the guard leaving and said: "Leaving aside the appearance, you have seen the martial arts strategy for so long. The key is that such a good general seedling has stayed in the Imperial Academy. You know the Imperial Academy? Then But you have to be a Jinshi to enter, who is not tempted by this man of culture and martial arts."

The lieutenant general nodded. Indeed, as the general said, this young guard has a bright future. He has seen several generals marry their daughters, and there are probably more in private.

"It's just that the family background is not good enough." Li Wenkang said again.

When the deputy general heard what their general said, he staggered in shock.

In the eyes of their general, this guard has a poor family background, he doesn't know who else has a good family background, and he has some doubts about life.

On the way, the guard entourage couldn't help laughing and said: "This General Li is too funny. Don't you know what my niece looks like? It's said that she looks a lot like her. Anyone dares to look like you, young master."

While talking, the attendant looked at his young master's expression, and saw that although the young master was expressionless, he was no longer as dark as before.

Presumably because of the recent victories in a row, he should be able to return to the court soon, and Young Master Biao's mood has also improved, he said cautiously: "Master Biao, you have punished Gu Liang to guard the city gate for almost a year, he knows Wrong, can you let him come back?"

Gu Yu squinted at him and said, "Why, do you want to accompany him to guard the city gate?"

The attendant immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Gu Yu's thoughts were pulled back to a year ago.

A year ago, his cousin Qi Ning was on his way to the Northwest to serve as a military supervisor, and he purposely changed to Ansui to visit him, but within a few days of leaving, he was seriously injured by an assassin, and Siqin came to ask him for help.

Qi Ning, who had a special status and came secretly to An Sui, was assassinated on the way, so he had to temporarily abandon everything and go to rescue.

Escorting Qi Ning to the Northwest Army encountered many ambushes on the way, and investigated the truth layer by layer, and found that it was actually related to the disputes between the court and the court.

In order to pull the coach Shen Xing to step down, the people in the court tried to collude with the enemy to set up a situation and lose the battle, and the key to this strategy lies in the defense of the vanguard battalion.

However, there is no one trustworthy in the army at this time, so Gu Yu volunteered to be the guard.

The battlefield is ruthless, especially when the vanguard battalion charges into battle, there is a possibility of death at any time.

He had to leave a suicide note first, and if something unexpected happened, he couldn't ask other girls to wait for him all the time.

This trip to the Northwest was not fruitless, and he actually found the chili seeds that Xi'er had been mentioning.

He immediately ordered Gu Liang to send this kind of seed to Ansui, but who would have thought that Gu Liang, a fool, would take the initiative to send the suicide note he left to her as a family letter.

Punishing this stupid thing to guard the city gate is his bodhisattva heart.

He also thought about sending a letter to explain again, but the war was not over, he didn't want her to worry in vain, if he could really go back alive, he would go to her and explain to her in person.

He looked up at the slowly rising moon, wondering how his Axi was doing recently.
