General's humble stand-in

In the distance, there was a fish-white streak in the sky, and the sound of chopping firewood and vegetables came from the cooking camp.When the loud horn sounded, the rising sun dispelled the last trace of haze, and sprinkled fine golden yellow on the silver clothes all over the ground.

Tao Zhuo hugged the quilt and tossed about on the carriage, just as he got out of the tent, he saw Cheng Ziyuan trotting over.

Because she didn't know what Shen Feng had said to him last night, and thought he was here to trouble Shen Feng, Tao Zhuo hurriedly blocked the door of the tent, so nervous that she had to hold the quilt in her arms with both hands to gain courage.

"You, what are you doing here?" Tao Zhuo held his head high, looking stern and inwardly, "My master is not in good health, if you make him sick, the general will not spare you."

Cheng Ziyuan was amused by Tao Zhuo's serious face, and joked, "Your master is a piece of paper, can I get sick if I provoke him?"

Saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab the quilt in Tao Zhuo's arms, "I'm not looking for your master, it's the general who is looking for you, hurry over there."

Ever since he made the words clear that day, Gu Ye seemed to have unloaded a burden and never interacted with Tao Zhuo again.And Tao Zhuo could only look at the general from afar, not daring to approach him.

The uneasiness and joy that surged in his heart made Taozhuo dazed for a moment, and then hurriedly ran towards the general's tent.

While running, he still didn't forget to turn his head and tell Cheng Ziyuan, "Don't mess with my master, he is not in good health and has a bad temper."

Cheng Ziyuan agrees with the last sentence, with Shen Feng's temper, as a woman, she might not be able to marry for the rest of her life.

But why should he compare a handsome man to a woman?Cheng Ziyuan lowered his head and pursed his thin lips, amused by his own thoughts.

Arriving outside Gu Ye's tent, Tao Zhuo stopped.He also ran a little too fast, flustered so badly, it sounded like he was beating a snare drum.

Pressing his chest to calm down his tense emotions, Tao Zhuo stood outside the camp in an orderly manner, and called out, "General, why are you looking for me?"

In spring, the peach blossoms are scorching, and in autumn, the ground is full of remnants.The summer is gentle and tender, and the winter solstice is cold and frosty.

I am most afraid of the rotation of the sun and the moon, and I am still caught in the eyes of ten thousand years, but you withdraw and leave without nostalgia.

Tao Zhuo lowered her apricot eyes slightly, feeling a little sad.

After a while, Gu Ye's voice came out, "Come in."

Opening the curtain, I saw Gu Ye lowering his head and arranging the armor on his body.Black hair falling down her shoulders, thick eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, a high nose bridge with sharp edges and corners, as usual with a peerless complexion.

Tao Zhuo stood at the door, as if he didn't dare to move when he first broke into the tent.

After tidying up his clothes, Gu Ye looked up, "Did what happened yesterday?"

Huh?Who said it was with the general?

"Mr. Ge Lao came to tell me this morning." Seeing the surprise in Tao Zhuo's eyes, Gu Ye explained to him.

That's right.Tao Zhuo nodded, thinking that he was lucky, not only was he protected by his master, but even Mr. Ge, whom everyone admired, took pity on him.

"I see, you can go back."

Tao Zhuo was taken aback, he didn't expect the general to issue the order to evict the guests so soon.

Feeling sour in his heart, Tao Zhuo lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, then I'll go first."

The sun is warm and sunny in winter, but it can't drive away the depression in Taozhuo's heart.

Gao Meng, who took the lead in molesting Tao Zhuo, was dismissed as a centurion and fined ten army sticks. Others in the same battalion were deducted one month's military pay.But the worst one was Cheng Ziyuan, who was fined [-] military sticks and withdrew two months of military pay for ineffective supervision.

The horseshoes trod through the winter snow, the wheels creaked, and they were getting closer and closer to Shengjing.

At noon, the army stopped to rest.

Tao Zhuo was carrying the food box, smelling the faint aroma of the food inside, with a contented smile on his delicate and delicate face, he happily walked towards the carriage.

"Peach burning."

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Tao Zhuo stopped and turned his head, it was Cheng Ziyuan.

Tao Zhuo rolled his round eyes, thinking to himself: He couldn't be seeking revenge on me for being punished, right?What if he hits me?I'd better go back to the carriage, and be safer with the master.

Thinking of this, Tao Zhuo's steps hurried up.Cheng Ziyuan who was behind was stunned for a moment, and ran to catch up.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

"I didn't hear it." Tao Zhuo shook his head and said nonsense, the pace under his feet was not slow at all.

He also said that he didn't hear it, and he obviously looked back before.Cheng Ziyuan saw through Tao Zhuo's thoughts, he was both helpless and funny.

Seeing no one around, Cheng Ziyuan took out two steaming scallion pancakes from his bosom, and stuffed them into Tao Zhuo's hands.

"I bought this when I passed by the small town in the morning. I hid it in my chest and covered it. I ate it while it was hot."

Only then did Tao Zhuo stop in his tracks, his dark pearly eyes stared at Cheng Ziyuan in disbelief.Then he lowered the corner of his eyes and glanced at the scallion pancake in his hand, the glutton in his stomach became restless again, Tao Zhuo stretched out the bright red tip of his tongue and licked his lips.

Cheng Ziyuan smiled, "Your master is right, you are really the reincarnation of a glutton."

"That's not true." Tao Zhuo pouted to defend himself, "I used to be frightened by hunger when I was begging, so I couldn't help drooling when I saw something delicious."

"When you get back to Shengjing, you will have a good meal. Then you will become a fat man when you eat carefully." As he said, he patted Tao Zhuo's shoulder, "I'm leaving first, remember to eat while it's hot. Also, I'll bring you Master one."

Mentioning Shen Feng, the smile on Cheng Ziyuan's face deepened, and two small canine teeth were revealed at the corners of his mouth.

But the two scallion pancakes ended up in Tao Zhuo's stomach, because Shen Feng doesn't like greasy food.

Entering the boundary of Shengjing, the official road became obviously lively.There is an endless stream of people coming and going.

Tao Zhuo was lying on the window, looking at the passers-by happily, and asked, "Master, how is Shengjing?"

Shen Feng held the small heater, leaned lazily on the soft cushion, and said, "The capital of the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, do you think it's okay?"

That must be excellent, better than the towns I have seen, Taozhuo thought so.

After another two hours, the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.A fast horse whipped past, and the man on the horse shouted, "Gong Changfeng's army is triumphant, the army is stationed in the camp in the western suburbs, and the generals above the fifth rank of the army will go to the palace to face the saint, receive rewards and seals."

"It's someone from the palace who came to announce the decree." Shen Feng put down the stove in his hand, opened the black curtain and told the guards outside, "General Gu, please come and speak."

Within a moment, Gu Ye jumped into the carriage and stepped into the carriage.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Feng pointed to Tao Zhuo who was beside him, "You and I both have to enter the palace to meet the saint, what should he do?"

Gu Ye looked sideways at Tao Zhuo, his eyes were a little tangled in silence.

Ever since Gu Ye got into the car, Tao Zhuo didn't dare to raise his head.The love that is humble to the dust, likes someone, but hides this love in the dark and dare not show half of it.

Seeing that Gu Ye was silent, Shen Feng raised his elbow and pushed Tao Zhuo, "Silly apprentice, where do you want to go? Do you want to follow the general or follow me?"

Naturally, she wanted to follow the general, but Taozhuo knew that the general didn't want to keep herself.

"I……."

Just as he was about to say follow the master, he heard Gu Ye say, "Follow me back to the general's mansion."
