Seduction

"Gu Chengyuan, don't go too far." Zhan Xingruo's voice was calm, like a warning, but also like a kind persuasion.

"Gu named one love." Gu Qing didn't intend to stop, but instead held Zhan Xingruo's hand and negotiated terms with him, "Military division doesn't have to be like everyone else, I want to hear you call me Gu Qing." Little by little, he approached Zhan Xingruo, and his warm breath floated in the tiny distance between the two.

"Get out of the way!" Zhan Xingruo swung it hard, and Gu Qing was forced to let go.

"Boss Gu, I can agree to your terms." Zhan Xingruo remained expressionless as always, even a little unhumanly cold.

"But I also have conditions."

"please say."

"Businessmen pay attention to paying the money and delivering the goods. I have to see Yuezhu's motorcade pass before I can play a song with Master Gu."

Gu Qing nodded with a smile. It seems that Zhan Xingruo is unwilling to call him Gu Qing after all, "Of course it's no problem." He replied, "I'll send someone to Yuezhu immediately to inform the convoy to pass the border."

"Are you going?" Zhan Xingruo asked

"of course."

"No." Zhan Xingruo said.

"Why?" Gu Qing was puzzled.

"I came here at the order of the crown prince. No matter what the outcome is, I have to take it back with me." Zhan Xingruo paused, then looked at Gu Qing, "I must go back to Yuezhu."

Gu Qing responded to his gaze, bowed her head and smiled, "Military Master, you can't treat Gu like this." She took a few steps back as she spoke.

"Gu Mou searched for all the treasures in the world to give to the military master, but wanted the military master to look at me more, but the military master refused. Today Gu opened up the business road and scattered tens of millions of gold and silver, but he just wanted the military master to play the piano for me once. Once we go, Gu doesn't know, when will we see you again?" After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zhan Xingruo.

"It's hard to follow a gentleman's words," Zhan Xingruo said.

"I don't believe in gentlemen." Gu Qing smiled, shook her head, stretched out her hand, and asked, "The military division may give Gu Qing a trustworthy mortgage. Gu is a businessman, and he only trusts things that can be held."

Zhan Xingruo was at a loss for words for a while, before he said that he would pay the money with one hand, and he was the one who delivered the goods with one hand, but now he wants to let him go back.After thinking about it carefully, he really didn't have anything on him that could be used as collateral.He came here in plain white, and he didn't know what to exchange with Gu Qing.

Gu Qing looked at him with great interest, knowing that he was helpless, so she stretched out her hand and gently held Zhan Xingruo's hand.

"That's all right," he said, leaning his lips, paused, and then looked up at Zhan Xingruo who was stunned, finally lowered his head, lightly touched the back of Zhan Xingruo's hand with the tip of his nose, and said, "I'll wait for the military adviser to come back."

Zhan Xingruo recovered from Gu Qing's unexpected hand warmth, and pulled himself away like an electric shock.

Gu Qing still looked at him, eyes full of smiles, and then ordered outside the house, "Prepare the horse for the military division!"

The warm winter sun sent Zhan Xingruo far away.

Gu Qing didn't ask the servants to clear the table, but quietly looked at the cup of tea that Zhan Xingruo didn't drink.From time to time, he shook the hand that Zhan Xingruo held just now.

Zhan Xingruo's hands are different from his. People look cold, but his hands are warm. Gu Qing is looking at the teacup with ecstasy, as if he wants to see through ten years of spring and autumn at a glance.Just now, if Zhan Xing asked him if he would like to be a Marquis in Yuezhu, it seems that he really doesn't remember him.

Ten years ago, Gu Qing was still living in Yuezhu, leisurely and leisurely in front of her little prince every day. Gu Qing's father was the famous general Chengfeng Hou who was famous all over the world. They were all battlefields in the sea of ​​fire. At that time, the world was in chaos, and the princes were fighting. Chengfenghou had never lost a battle since he went out to fight.

Hou Chengfeng always asked Gu Qing, "Do you want to go to the battlefield with Dad to play?" Gu Qingruo shook his head, and Hou Chengfeng patted him, "Dad is two years older than you, and he has led soldiers out to fight .”

Gu Qing was not angry when she was a child, so she followed.

For Marquis Chengfeng, the war was nothing more than a bloody slaughter, and the Gu family's army was invincible.

But there was only one time, and it was the last battle of Chengfenghou. The war was won, but Chengfenghou was not seen.

That time, Cheng Feng Hou didn't take Xiao Gu Qing with him, and before leaving, he didn't lift up Xiao Gu Qing to kiss his face as usual, and didn't even leave a word.With the order, Chengfeng Hou hurriedly set off. Gu Qing only remembered her father in silver armor, and left home on a horse at dawn without looking back, and never came back.

And the next time I heard the news about Marquis Chengfeng, it wasn't someone who came to report it, but the noisy voices of officers and soldiers outside the Marquis' mansion.

Hou Chengfeng joined forces with the barbarians to rebel and was killed outside the Great Wall.All the family members of Marquis Chengfeng were beheaded.

That night, a raging fire broke out and swallowed up Gu's house, making crackling and chewing sounds. He no longer dared to recall the childhood memories of Cheng Feng Hou. Whenever he remembered Cheng Feng Hou's face, the fire would chase after him. He left, burning in his heart, burning those who are still alive.The screams and howls from all directions, mixed with dust and blood, condensed into a ball in Gu Qing's memory.

That night, he was escorted to an unknown place, surrounded by many people, and the sound of constant discussions hit his eardrums fiercely.

Until Zhan Xingruo appeared. At that time, Zhan Xingruo was not more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed in white, like a ray of moonlight shining into the dark night. Looking carefully at his face, the long hair was not bundled, but fell on his shoulders.He pinched his face with his hands and looked around.

Gu Qing's eyes were blurred by tears, he opened his eyes wide, looked at the person in front of him, even his panting became lighter unconsciously.

And at the moment when he was in a trance, Gu Qing felt his waist drop, and Zhan Xingruo pulled off the jade pendant from Gu Qing's waist at an imperceptible speed, covered by his clothes and hair, hid it in his clothes, and then Standing up without changing his expression, he said, "It looks a bit like it."

Gu Qing didn't dare to react much, she just looked at him in horror.

"Hou Chengfeng has half of the jade pendant on his body, and the remaining half should be on his son." Zhan Xingruo gently wiped the dust on his hands with a handkerchief.

"What you are going to catch is Chengfeng Hou. Why don't you search him for jade pendants? If you make a mistake and let the real one run away, what should you do?" If Zhan Xing was not angry, several officers and soldiers quickly Knelt down to admit his mistake, and sent someone to search Gu Qing's body carefully, but found nothing up and down.

"It's just an unlucky scapegoat, let him go, and continue to search, the next one, come here." Zhan Xingruo said.

"But, but... General Zhang has ordered us not to let people go without authorization..." the officers and soldiers said with some embarrassment.

If Zhan Xing said nothing, he stretched out his hand, and the lieutenant who followed him immediately handed over a golden token.

"Prince order." Zhan Xingruo said.

Several officers and soldiers looked at each other, they could only nod and let Gu Qing go.

There are countless servants in the Gu family, many of whom are similar to Gu Qing's age. According to what Zhan Xingruo said, the real son of Chengfeng Hou should have half a token on him, but after searching all of them, no one has it.

"Mr. Zhan, look, this..." The officers and soldiers in charge were a little scared, and asked, "Could it be that he was allowed to run away?" Zhan Xingruo pretended to be puzzled.At the same time, a thick male voice sounded from the door.

"The military division said, let who run away?"

When the man moved, the iron armor on his body clanged. He was two heads taller than Zhan Xingruo. Zhan Xingruo looked up at him and then turned his head away.

"General He Xizhang, pull out the rebels in one fell swoop." Zhan Xingruo said.

General Zhang grinned, laughed a few times, bent down and approached Zhan Xingruo, "It doesn't count, I haven't cut the roots yet." Behind Zhan Xingruo was a wall, and there was no way out, so he had to tilt his head slightly, trying to hide General Kaizhang frowned unconsciously.

"Young military advisor is really diligent. Say hello to the prince for me." The man laughed again, slowly straightened up, and told the officers and soldiers, "Did you hear what the military advisor said? You let him run away!" As he spoke, the man slapped an officer and soldier hard.

"Don't catch me yet!" He yelled, and several officers and soldiers nodded quickly, leading them to chase them out.

This man's name is Zhang Jiyao, he was originally a lieutenant under Cheng Fenghou, but was later transferred out and led an army to guard the frontier alone, very ambitious.

Zhan Xingruo and Wuzheng are investigating the loss of silver in the frontier, because the amount lost each time is very small, and the frontier is far away from the capital, so it is not easy to detect, but the accumulated silver is enough to support an army. In the past, he has been invincible in all expeditions. Although he is rebellious, he is loyal to the country, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other.

If Zhan Xing met Chengfenghou a few times, although the age difference between the two was quite a bit, their ideas were basically the same, that is, they only wanted to stabilize the country and had no intention of fame and fortune.

If there is a difference, it may be that Cheng Fenghou enjoys the war itself more.

Zhang Jiyao looked at Zhan Xingruo and smiled maliciously, as if threatening or warning a child, while Zhan Xingruo was as indifferent as ever, "Since General Zhang has arrived, Zhan will not stay any longer. According to the prince's order, Zhan still has something important to do, so I’m leaving.” After saying that, he got up and left.

Zhang Jiyao laughed again, but his voice gradually sank, even a little bit ruthless, and said, "Go slowly, I won't see you off."

In Gu Qing's memory, it snowed heavily that night, he hid in the haystack with the corpse of his companion lying beside him, the only bright spot in all his memories was Zhan Xingruo's glimpse.Gu Qing didn't want to think too much about her life in the Marquis Mansion back then. Since the day she escaped, Gu Qing had already decided not to become an official anymore, only to recognize gold and silver, and not generals.After waiting for ten years, I finally had the opportunity to see Zhan Xingruo so closely.

After half an hour, the person had completely gone away, and Gu Qing was still looking at the tea in the cup.

Seeing him lost in thought alone, Lu Wangyao was afraid that he would catch the cold, so he found a shawl to cover him up.

"Brother Qing, he's been back for a long time, what exactly did you want from him?" Lu Wangyao was curious, and pulled up a chair to sit opposite Gu Qing.

Gu Qing came back to her senses, smiled, and said softly: "I want someone."
