girl can't marry

Chapter 18

On February [-]th, there were only about [-] soldiers available in the city, and night fell quietly. Cheng Xian was standing on the tower. The lights in this city cannot escape being slaughtered.

Death, the people suffer.

At the hour of Hai, the horns of the enemy army sounded, Cheng Xian stood on the tower, the sword in his hand was trembling faintly, is it still not enough, Your Majesty, the minister owes the emperor's kindness.

In a moment, the enemy troops retreated before they reached the city. There were nearly ten thousand soldiers, almost half of the northern barbarian soldiers rushed to the northeast.

Cheng Xian watched the flames of war shifting steadily, and waited, and waited, and after about an hour, a cluster of sparkling arrow feathers rose in the distant night sky, making this veteran silently shed two tears.

Four days ago, Gu Yu led the way and went straight to the frozen lake that he and Wu Cheng accidentally discovered that day. More than [-] people had no spears or swords in their hands, except for the bows and arrows behind them, some were hemp ropes and some were axes.

Their [-] lives were not used to kill the enemy or defend the city, they were all used to gamble on the urgency of the enemy army to defend the border city, so that they would have time to increase the odds of winning the bet.

Gu Yu was inspired by the stories his father told. It seemed that there was a battle where the ships were connected together. In the story, they used fire to win. What about them?

The 8000 of them worked day and night, cutting trees into short boards, and then tied them tightly with hemp rope to form a piece.They did not tie the rope into a dead knot for the sake of firmness, but like knitting a sweater, they used loose buckles, one rope was lifted, and the whole collapsed, and then they were spread flat on the lake one by one, and then covered with snow.

Soldiers are expensive and fast, and they can't last five days in the city. They don't sleep and rest, and do all this on the fifth day.

That night, Gu Yu led more than 800 people across the icy lake on wooden boards, and used bows and arrows to raid the enemy's rear from a long distance, attracting half of the enemies to pursue them. As for them, they didn't need to fight, they just had to cross the river again and cut the knots .

More than a hundred people staying on both sides of the frozen lake rode horses and ran wildly, pulling strands of hemp rope apart, causing the boards to scatter, the lake couldn't bear the weight, and the enemy army fell.

With the determination to die, risking his life, he finally got the first good news: our army suffered more than [-] casualties, and the enemy army suffered more than [-] casualties.

"Reward, the soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle will be rewarded one by one." Song Yan smiled openly for the first time since he repelled the envoys from the Northern Barbarians years ago.

At the beginning of March, the willow trees in the capital had sprouted green shoots, and Gu Yu and others also returned to the capital. Because of Cheng Xian's report, Gu Yu and Wu Cheng stood out among this group of people. However, considering herself and her father's earnest teachings, she took the opportunity to resign, but failed, and instead was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Wu Cheng is the official servant of the third-rank military department, and his future future is limitless, but Zhou Hu's performance this time is not outstanding, and he is still awarded the sixth-rank guard military academy.

After the dust settled, after the celebration banquet, it happened that last year's marriage proposal event was held by Zhou Hu in order to marry Ruan Yan. This year, whoever mentioned it first, it was actually organized by the royal family.

On March [-]th, it was also at the foot of Qingshi Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. Gu Yu didn't want to participate in these grand events, but Zhou Wan couldn't bear to persuade her again and again, so she walked down from the Qingshi temple on the mountainside.

At the foot of the mountain, ladies and gentlemen in twos and threes recite poems, compose poems, play the piano and paint, which is not interesting. Under the octagonal pavilion, Lu Yuan is holding Ruan Yan and sitting around Princess Pingchang with several official ladies, attracting a group of teenagers to look at .

This is what Gu Yu saw. His gaze passed through several figures and landed on Ruan Yan.

"Brother Gu" Wu Cheng just came here, and when he saw Gu Yu, he said hello and walked over. Following Gu Yu's gaze, he looked at the people in the pavilion, and he was also taken aback for a moment.

Gu Yu slowly retracted his gaze, and when he saw someone with the same expression as himself, the corner of his mouth lightly raised: "Brother Wu, don't come here without any problems."

"Brother Gu, please, I haven't thanked you enough for saving my life, why don't we have a few drinks?" Wu Cheng turned his head to look at Lu Yuan in a daze, and then led Gu Yu to sit beside him.

The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, and the same people who have been frustrated in love, between pushing cups and cups, the two of them are already slightly drunk.

Gu Yu put down the wine glass in his hand, sighed and said, "Brother Wu, it's almost enough."

"Brother Gu said that if you're drunk, no one will give you off." Wu Cheng laughed heartily. That's Miss Ruan, my cousin must be sad.

"Brother Wu was joking." Gu Yu's eyes fell on the pavilion again. She didn't care about the broken branches, but it was her mother who urged her not to be greedy. She will drink too much, which is much better than her alcoholic father, Gu Wan.

Song Yi, Princess of Pingchang, looked at the girls in the pavilion. Each of them looked like Huaichun, only two were different. One looked like Lu Yuan who was full of calculations, and the other looked like Ruan Yan, who looked lonely and godless. She was very curious when the time came. Hearing the gossip, she smiled knowingly, if the queen hadn't insisted on her to participate, she would not have come.

After all, there is no one he likes. Thinking of this, two clear and pleasant laughter came from not far away. Looking up, the man in blue who laughed out loud was Wu Cheng. He doesn't look like a general, but looks like a handsome and elegant scholar.

The white-clothed young man next to him must be Gu Yu, the young master of Zhenyuan, who is in the limelight. It's just that the two most eye-catching people in this scene seem to have no intention of being here. look at each other.

While they were contemplating, a high-spirited man ushered in their octagonal pavilion, but this man might be disappointed, because Miss Ruan obviously had no interest in him, and the two people next to her seemed to have stopped talking, which is quite interesting .

Accompanied by her friends, Ruan Yan sat quietly in the octagonal pavilion. Lu Yuan's mouth was full of that man's suave manner, his wisdom and courage in defeating the enemy, and his meritorious deeds.Is this really what a weak woman does?Is it really him? No, it's her!

"Sister Ruan, can you follow me to the pool?" Zhou Hu has been holding grudges since he came back. Why did Gu Yu receive the reward and title, but he has nothing, and he even rode to Wucheng, which he despised? It's really unreasonable for him to come up on his head, I don't like it, so don't think about it, so looking at Ruan Yan who has lost his soul all day, he knows that the opportunity has come.

The scorching gaze from the side looked over again, Ruan Yan glanced at Gu Yu's gaze from the corner of her eye, a smile suddenly appeared on her originally expressionless face: "Okay, I'm sorry."

Unexpectedly, Miss Ruan got up and left with Zhou Hu. Immediately afterwards, those scholars and young masters all took action, and several people invited Lu Yuan to travel with them, but they were all rejected.

"Brother Wu, why don't you give it a try, maybe the goddess has a heart?" Zhou Hu looked at Wu Cheng and said with a smile.

"Brother Gu, you should know that you can't force things about your feelings," Wu Cheng said with a wry smile.

Even though they said this, the two of them still walked towards the octagonal pavilion at the same time, and in front of them was Li Tang, the number one scholar in liberal arts, who went to invite Princess Pingchang.

Song Yi looked suspiciously at Li Tang, who was determined to win, and felt displeased with him in his heart: "I don't know what is worth the admiration of Wen Zhuangyuan."

"The princess looks like a heavenly man, and Li has been in love with her for a long time." Li Tang casually said, he is the concubine of the family, and he won the first prize in one fell swoop, but he only worked as an editor in the Imperial Academy, and he had no help in the court. To find a way out, maybe being a son-in-law is also good.

"Oh, thanks to Mr. Li's love, unfortunately, the palace is a little tired, and it's time to go back to the palace." Song Yi felt more and more disliked by Li Tang in her heart, did she dare to be more perfunctory?Do you just like one of my faces?

"Princess, princess, please think twice," Li Tang couldn't help but ask to stay in a hurry.

"I don't know what I need to think twice about, I would like to ask Mr. Li to give me some advice." Song Yi raised her eyebrows.

"Princess, please take a step to talk." Li Tang thought he was chic and waved his hands to invite.

"No need, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back," Song Yi said impatiently.

"Princess, I dare you," he took out the willow branch from his sleeve after speaking.Then he whispered: "Princess, I am your best choice." The implication is that, except for me, everyone who can see it has no intention of being the son-in-law.

Although the business is small, the few people next to him could hear it clearly. Gu Yu frowned and thought about it. This literary champion is really bold. Is it sure that the princess can agree to him.

Song Yi's face immediately turned cold. It's true that she didn't have any good choices. Looking around, she was either ambitious or self-serving. She, a princess of the royal family, was threatened by marriage. Perhaps this Li Tang really This is the best choice at present, but at this moment, she would rather die alone than marry such a young man.

"You..." Song Yi was about to say that you were presumptuous, but was interrupted before she could say it.

"Bold, how dare you be unreasonable to the princess?" Wu Cheng looked at the forbearing woman, he couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or distress, he took two steps forward and stopped the princess behind him, separating Li Tang who couldn't stand against her.

"Wu Shilang, this is a matter between me and the princess, and it has nothing to do with you." Li Tang was also young and energetic, and he was already depressed, so how could he bow his head to Wu Cheng at this moment.

"I want to say that it has something to do with me," Wu Cheng said in a harsh voice.

"You, don't bully others too much, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the sky is clear, you...you..." Li Tang looked at him with a ruthless look, a little timid, looked at the people coming around, but still said bravely .

Wu Cheng took two steps forward, looked at Li Tang who was trembling in front of him, and chuckled in his heart. He turned around and looked at the woman whose eyes were flustered but who was pretending to be calm. Such a weak and strong princess, he could not stand on one knee. Kneeling down, he solemnly said: "Wu Cheng also admires the princess, and is willing to be brothers with Wen Zhuangyuan."

Song Yi looked straight at the boy kneeling on one knee, the affection in his clean eyes, was it pity?The heart hanging in her heart slowly fell, and when she felt at ease in her heart, she felt warm, and the corners of her mouth raised silently: "There is no need for any siblings, I also fall in love with you."

Afterwards, Wu Cheng rode his horse outside the sedan chair and escorted Pingchang all the way to the gate of the palace, and then stepped forward two steps and called out: "Princess"

Song Yi saw him hesitating to speak, she knew it in her heart, but she still couldn't help but feel sad: "Mr. Wu just wanted to say that he couldn't do what he just did in a hurry, right?"

Wu Cheng originally wanted to follow the trend, but seeing the red eyes of the person in front of him, he suddenly couldn't say, how about being a leisurely and happy son-in-law, maybe it's not bad: "I just want to Just a word, I hope the princess will not raise any face, unless the minister dies."

Mian Shou? It seems that after my sister left the palace to build a mansion, she raised a few more Mian Shou.She doesn't have that kind of dirty mind, but she is also a small-hearted person.

"I want you to say a word. I'm very narrow-minded. I don't allow my son-in-law to think about other women. If you can do it, I will promise you that I will never have other thoughts. If you die, Bengong will accompany you to the underworld, how about it?"

"Okay" finished, the two looked at each other and smiled, the time is still long, I will let you only have me in your heart, both of them think so.
