I give the princess a sip

The war ended faster than Gu Lian expected.

Originally, although the Spike Army near Taiyuan City was about to be wiped out, there were still a large number of Spike Army scattered in the Central Plains, especially Maweipo, where there were heavy troops.It stands to reason that they can fight for a few more months, but a piece of news suddenly spread throughout Datang.

——An Lushan was killed by his son An Qingxu and his subordinates.

Gu Lian subconsciously felt something was wrong, why did An Qingxu kill his father?

There are different opinions on the reasons. In short, An Lushan died. An Qingxu and Shi Siming took charge of the Spike Army, and then they were quickly divided and wiped out.The Anshi Rebellion that threatened Datang for many years officially ended.

This plot is naturally different from what is recorded in the history books, but this is not important. After the prince Li Heng was killed, the plot has been freed by itself.

Gu Lian didn't care too much about it, but occasionally missed her little friend Qixiu. She had been lurking beside An Qingxu for more than two years, and she didn't know what was going on now.

Caught off guard, the world is peaceful, Yong Wang also died under the assassination of the "Spike Army", and the old emperor couldn't suppress his officials.After the rebels in Maweipo and Chang'an City were completely wiped out, King Jianning succeeded to the throne, and Datang finally ushered in a young Mingjun.

But the top priority is to rest and recuperate.

Although Datang has a good foundation, but after such a trouble, there is no way to breathe a sigh of relief for several years.To return to the original prosperous age, I am afraid that it will take the joint efforts of several generations of emperors.

Gu Lian's memory had all been restored, and she was thinking that it was time for her and Qiao Mingyu to "retire".

"Ming Yu." She asked for Qiao Mingyu's opinion, "Would you like to travel with me? Then we will find a place with beautiful wind and settle down. Didn't you say you want to raise a child?"

Now there are war orphans everywhere, just get a few cubs to raise.

Gu Lian contacted friends and found many one-year-old orphans. They would adopt whichever Qiao Mingyu liked.According to Gu Lian, it is natural that both men and women should raise one.However, it is also possible to raise a son first, and then raise a daughter, so that the older brother can protect the younger sister.

Qiao Mingyu thought about it, and readily agreed: "Okay."

Gu Lian frowned.

After the Anshi Rebellion is over, NPCs will no longer die in large numbers.Under normal circumstances, NPCs will not die, and will be refreshed when they die, unless the plot requires it.The Anshi Rebellion is a special event, during which all NPCs may die, except for the most important ones.

In peaceful times, an "appreciation" NPC like Gu Lian would definitely not be able to be killed if he didn't participate in any plots or characters.Gu Lian looked at the state of his profile picture, it was an NPC with a green name, and he was invincible.As long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke trouble, NPC will not kill her, the plot will not find her, and players will not be able to attack her at all.

"I'm curious about one thing." Qiao Mingyu hugged Gu Lian and rode on the horse, walking slowly towards the south.

They agreed to go all the way south, find a town that was pleasing to the eye, and settle down.If I can't find it, I'll keep wandering around. As for raising buns, I'll talk about it after I settle down.

Gu Lian turned around and kissed her on the chin: "What are you curious about?"

"Do those Spike Army know that they are NPCs?" Qiao Mingyu felt that this was wrong. If they knew that they were NPCs and that they would lose if they rebelled, how could they be happy?

Gu Lian hooked her long hair and played with her fingertips: "They don't know about games and NPCs."

She explained it to Qiao Mingyu in detail.

In fact, there are differences among NPCs. There are some face-like NPCs, such as food merchants, vegetable merchants, and drug dealers in various places. These people don’t know games and NPCs. For them, this is the real world.They will be born, old, sick, and die, but otherwise die in no accident.

There is another kind in the middle area. They are high-level NPCs of the hostile camp. They know that there are strange creatures like players, but they don't understand and won't explore what players are.They only know that the player is a "traveler" and their enemy.These high-level NPCs will only be killed by NPCs, or die within the plot.

The rest are high-level NPCs on the player's side like Gu Lian. They know their NPC identities and may take advantage of players and cheat players.In the words of mastermind Li Tang, it is to increase the fun of the game.Although players don't like the fun of being played around by NPCs, it is indeed quite interesting to deal with a group of NPCs who know their NPC identities.However, generally NPCs will not foolishly say that they know that they are NPCs, they prefer to do things secretly.

This is also the reason why there are often stupid players who don't respect NPCs and are complacent. As a result, they are beaten to pieces by NPCs, and they don't know why they are so unlucky.

In addition to these three kinds of NPCs, there is another one called the red name monster, which is an ordinary monster.It basically has no intelligence, and only follows the principles set by the program.For example, those beast monsters in the wild, or humanoid monsters, including the low-level Spike Army.

Qiao Mingyu was silent for a while after listening, and then quietly asked: "Have you cheated on players?"

Gu Lian shook her head, she is not the NPC who issued the mission, basically she doesn't have much interaction with the players.Unless you are a plot party player, you will be bored to have a conversation with every NPC to dig news, otherwise, generally speaking, players will not talk to these "useless" NPCs.

But in fact, if the player has a good relationship with them, it is likely to be lucky.For example, Gu Lian could actually tell those horse catchers where she just ran into a high-level horse.

Their NPCs are the most intelligent, equipped with systems, backpacks, and even chat programs, which are not too different from players.Generally speaking, Li Tang would not let them die, because every high-level NPC is very laborious to create, and it is very distressing to die.Therefore, as soon as the Anshi Rebellion ended, Gu Lian entered an invincible state.

It stands to reason that a "useless" NPC like Gu Lian should be irrelevant, but it is not.Before Gu Lian retired from the arena, he was a small expert in trouble, such as assassinating the prince or something, which played a big role in the plot.

"Then you should retire." Qiao Mingyu felt that it was too dangerous to keep doing things like this.

As long as they don't make trouble, they can live happily all the time.

They walked through Luoyang, Jinshui Town, Yangzhou, Luodao, Nanping Mountain all the way, and came to Baling County.

Baling is a peaceful and peaceful small county with picturesque scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers.Crops are planted everywhere, including rice, bananas, and various fruit trees.Apart from water thieves and swamps to the west, everything else is beautiful.

Qiao Mingyu fell in love with this place immediately, and took Gu Lian to buy a small house in the town, and decided to settle here for a while.

The water thieves had been exterminated many years ago, and it was Mo Yu, the current owner of the new Valley of the Wicked Valley, who was an acquaintance of Gu Lian.No, it should be the acquaintance of all the players.

After settling down, Gu Lian contacted a friend and brought back two buns, one big and one small.

This is a pair of brother and sister, the elder brother is seven years old and the younger sister is one year old.

Both children are very cute. Although the elder brother is a bit older, Gu Lian and Qiao Mingyu thought about it later, and the seven-year-old child is actually quite good.Perhaps because of the war, my elder brother matured very early and could take care of my younger sister alone.

Gu Lian likes the gentle and sensitive brother very much. Although he looks weak, he will become very strong when it comes to his sister.To use an inappropriate metaphor, it’s like being a mother makes you stronger, ahem.

But Qiao Mingyu liked her delicate and weak sister very much, and felt that she was like Gu Lian when she was a child, so she was going to spoil her like a little princess.

But the little princess only likes to cling to her brother, Qiao Mingyu's heart is broken.

What can Gu Lian do?I could only hold back my laughter silently, and comfort the big bear kid Qiao Mingyu.

After being caressed by her sweetheart, Qiao Mingyu came back to life full of blood, ran to the little princess again, and asked persistently, "Yuyou, do you like Auntie or Mother the most?"

My mother is Qiao Mingyu, and my mother is Gu Lian.

The little princess didn't even think about it: "I like brother!"

"..."

She blinked her big eyes and reached for a small snack.When he was first picked up, the child was very thin. After two months, he gained a lot of weight. Now he is white and tender, very cute.She is wearing a beautiful little dress, and she loves beauty very much. Every day she has to tie up her braids and wear small flowers to be happy.

Qiao Mingyu is not a person who quits when faced with difficulties, she decided to show her affection with reason, and if it doesn't work, she will bribe her with delicious food, and she must let her back down and admit that she likes Auntie more.

Just as I was talking, my brother came out with caramel custard.

It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but this brother is willing to cook for his sister.

"Brother!" Yoyo immediately struggled to get down to meet her brother.

"Don't jump." She was sitting high, and it was okay to jump off.Qiao Mingyu quickly stopped her, carried her to her brother's side, and watched her sadly saying "Brother is the best", silently jealous.

"Mother." The little boy pursed his lips and smiled, put the bowl on the small table, hugged his sister and sat in front of the table, letting her eat well.

Gu Lian came in slowly from the outside, now she has changed out of Wudu's attire, and now she is wearing an inconspicuous Central Plains woman's gown, her black hair is casually rolled up, she looks like a good wife and loving mother.Qiao Mingyu was itching to see it, and couldn't help leaning over to steal a picture.

"Don't make trouble." Gu Lian pushed her away, how could she kiss her in front of the child.

She took a look at what the little princess was eating, and then said: "Youyou eat less sugar, be careful not to damage your teeth."
