"You..." The messenger suddenly understood what he meant, and opened his mouth wide in surprise. "Are you trying to resist the decree?"

"No, no, how dare I resist the decree?" Yu Xiao motioned him not to be nervous, "But, do you know how many barbarian armies in the north are watching now? I went to Beijing to rescue them, and the safety of the people in the border towns is at stake." Who's in charge?"

The envoy's face showed a ghostly look, and he whispered: "How can the lives of those lowly people be compared with the safety of the heavenly family?"

The border town is poor and cold, and the residents are all people who moved from the south to open up wasteland. Of course, their status cannot be compared with those of the nobles in Beijing.

Yu Xiao laughed and shrugged. "When Qin Hui planned to recall Yue Fei, how many gold medals did he use?"

"Twelve ways..."

"Well, then you go back and tell Mr. Gu that at least you have to show the sincerity of the Twelve Edicts."

The envoy was speechless, of course he didn't dare to go back to his command like that--isn't this obviously calling Gu Changqing a traitorous official like Qin Hui who has been infamous for thousands of years?

"My lord, Mr. Gu is also your father-in-law. We are all in the same boat. Why do you say it so utterly?"

"I'll forget if you don't mention it." Thinking of that ridiculous marriage, Yu Xiao's face became even more ugly.

Contrary to what he expected, after that Miss Gu came, she was very peaceful.For his deliberate neglect, he neither came to cry, nor clamored to return to Beijing, just stayed quietly in the residence all day long, almost making him forget the existence of this person.

Could it be that he is really too ugly to see people, or is there some hidden disease?

After dismissing the messenger with a few casual words, Yu Xiao sneered while looking at the flock of geese flying high outside the window.

The imperial edict has already arrived, I am afraid that the family letter from Yufu will be coming soon, right?

He is not afraid of Gu Changqing, but he has to listen to the group of Yu family who are enjoying their free time - just because they hold a secret in their hands that can destroy his reputation.

☆, stay overnight

The sky had just darkened, and not even a single person could be seen in the inner city.

Life at the border is actually very boring, and every day is monotonously repeated.It's not like there are any recreational places in the city, only the endless desert, and the strong wind that doesn't stop all year round, which is annoying.

Sometimes I even hope that the northern barbarians will call over, so that at least I can do something special.Such as killing, plundering, nuè waiting for captives, or domesticating a barbarian girl with teeth and claws...

Yu Xiao walked against the wind, licked his chapped lips, and suddenly realized that although there was nothing about him that resembled the Yu family, only this selfishness was really unique to the Yu family.

Just like her heartless father.

That's right, Yu Xiao, the famous General Yu, is not "he", but "she".

Dingguo's mansion has received the emperor's favor for generations, and was ordered to guard Beiguan.In the current generation, there is only such a frail and sick son as Yu Qing.Yu Qing's mother is a princess, an authentic golden branch and jade leaf, of course she doesn't want her beloved son to go to the border to suffer.So when she learned that her husband had a child with a firework woman outside, the princess showed extraordinary generosity.

Even if she later found out that it was actually a daughter, it didn't hurt her plan in the slightest.

... Yu Xiao will never forget that day, her mother sang to lull her to sleep as usual, then closed the door and walked out.The little girl hid by the crack of the door when she saw a graceful and luxurious woman rushing in surrounded by a group of black-clothed guards.

She heard the gentle and kind mother say, "I promise you, as long as Xiao'er can live." Then she took a glass of poisoned wine and drank it without hesitation.

Then...all the people who knew of her existence were killed, including the group of dead men who were responsible for the killing, and they also committed suicide by taking poison one by one.

She quietly hid on the bed, pretending not to know all this, what happened to her mother's sudden "disappearance", and why the cruel man suddenly wanted to take her back.

She only knew that her life was bought with the humblest compromise of a mother, so she couldn't even die.I can only live and accept this deformed fate.

After walking aimlessly for a while, the house in front of me looked very strange.

Yu Xiao walked closer and was about to take a closer look at the plaque on the top when two guards on the left and right in front of the door had already bowed to open the door, waiting respectfully aside.

Yu Xiao coughed unnaturally, and then she remembered that this is the Jinsi Residence that was built for that Miss Gu, that is... her wedding room.

Now that the doors are open, it's not good to turn around and leave.Yu Xiao straightened his face and walked in as if nothing had happened.

Her sudden arrival shocked all the servants in the house.After a while, two long lines formed in the front hall, saying in unison: "My lord, Wan An."

"Why so slow?" Yu Xiao blew the floating leaves in the teacup, and gave them a cold look, "It's not night yet, and you're already so lazy?"

She knew in her heart that these people were afraid that seeing that she had never set foot here, they would feel that the new lady was not favored and could be neglected.

The steward replied tremblingly: "Madam ordered us not to serve."

"Oh? Ma'am?"

"Ma'am... Ma'am has already rested."

Yu Xiao nodded, and was about to walk into the back room when a big servant girl stopped in front of her with an unnatural expression, and said falteringly: "Madam has already rested, my lord, do you think..."

Yu Xiao glanced at her lightly, with a bad expression on his face. "Don't I need anyone's permission to rest in my own mansion?"

The maid hurriedly shook her head and retreated embarrassingly.

Yu Xiao really wanted to rest in the guest room, but felt weird being stopped, so he simply opened the door and entered the main room.

As soon as I walked in, I could smell the smell of alcohol all over the room.

Yu Xiao understood why the maid stopped him just now.She lifted the curtain and went inside, and at a glance saw a slender figure lying drunk on the table with scattered clouds, and there were several wine jars on the floor.

In order to stay awake at all times, Yu Xiao never drank alcohol, but she also knew that the alcohol in this city was full of strong alcohol, which was drunk by those big and three thick men to keep out the cold.A delicate woman drank so much in one breath, it would be strange if she didn't die of drunkenness.

Yu Xiao kicked the wine jar blocking the way aside, walked over a few steps, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and looked at her unscrupulously.

Strange, could it be that I have stayed at the border for many years and haven't seen a woman, so I think this Miss Gu family is extremely good-looking?

By the way, what is this Miss Gu's name?

I don't blame her for not remembering, she didn't even read the imperial decree giving marriage carefully, let alone remembering a name.

Yu Xiao withdrew his hand and walked around the room.It was not easy to find a copy of an ancient book from the previous dynasty. On the title page of the copy was written a line: Give Liu Shang.

Liushang... Gu Liushang, is this your name?

Yu Xiao returned to the table, thinking of the chilly spring and sleeping on the table, he would catch a cold, so he coughed lightly, and tentatively called: "Gu... Liushang?"

Hearing this call, Gu Liushang, who was originally drunk and unconscious, half-opened his blurred drunken eyes, blurred and clear, like a deer that suddenly crashed into his arms.

Yu Xiao looked away unnaturally, and his voice softened a bit.

"It's cold here, let me help you sleep on the bed."

Gu Liushang looked at her in a daze, but showed strong resistance to her touch.

During the entanglement between the two, Gu Liushang's hand touched the cold armor on Yu Xiao's body, and suddenly stopped struggling.

Yu Xiao felt strange and stopped moving.Looking up, she found that the woman in front of her, who couldn't even walk steadily, started to cry without warning.Tears gathered in the eye sockets, like a pool of autumn water, and then flowed down continuously.
