Seduction

The sun has woken, and the morning wind blows the broken curtains of the temple.

Zhan Xingruo held Gu Qing in his arms and patted him on the back, as if he was coaxing a child who had just separated from his mother, but he had no candy or toys on him, and he didn't know how to make the person in his arms stop crying.

"If you cry like this, the injury will get worse." Zhan Xingruo said softly, discussing carefully, "Lie down for a while, I'll be here with you."

Gu Qing raised her head, blinked her eyes, her eyes were dull, and she leaned back heavily.Although Zhan Xingruo understood Gu Qing's mood, it was difficult to empathize with him, so he could only move over, take off his clothes and put it under Gu Qing's head.

Zhan Xingruo looked at Gu Qing, pretended to be casual, and asked jokingly, "Wu Zheng will be here soon, don't you want him to see you like this?" Gu Qing turned his head in a daze, Zhan Xingruo sighed , "Boss Gu is in such a state of embarrassment, just let me see it. Others will be spared."

Gu Qing smiled wryly and nodded, "I originally... didn't want the military division to see it."

"Gu Qing." Zhan Xingruo suddenly called him seriously.

Gu Qing raised her head and looked at Zhan Xingruo in confusion.

"Don't say that kind of thing, you want to sacrifice yourself. I will take care of you in the future, but the dishes I cook are not good, and I can't say nice words to comfort you. If you touch me, I will be angry." Zhan Xingruo Turning to look at Gu Qing, "But I will do my best to keep you from getting hurt. Is this okay?"

After Zhan Xingruo finished speaking, Gu Qing supported her body with one hand, got up with great effort, and kissed Zhan Xingruo's soft lips sideways. Zhan Xingruo didn't resist, and after shrinking slightly, she slowly closed her eyes. Shining tears, he repeatedly pecked and kissed, soft and soft, as if words could not express his love, and he could only kiss lightly to comfort his tenderness.

"Thank you, military advisor, thank you." Gu Qing trembled slightly.

Zhan Xingruo opened his eyes and saw Gu Qing's expression of ready to cry again, "Okay." Zhan Xingruo coaxed, gently wiping the tears on Gu Qing's face with his hands, "What do you want to do next? Tell me .”

Gu Qing's palm covered Zhan Xingruo's hand, and said weakly, "Military Master, I want revenge."

Zhan Xingruo nodded, "I'll accompany you." He said softly, and hugged Gu Qing again, "But I will never hurt you again." Zhan Xingruo gritted his teeth, as if making a promise to himself.

It was completely dawn before Wuzheng rushed over with a team of people. When Wuzheng opened the curtain and went in, Zhan Xingruo was leaning against the cabinet where the statue was placed, carefully wiping the sweat of Gu Qing who was sleeping in his arms with his sleeve.Gu Qing's bracelet was on Zhan Xingruo's waist, and her head rested on Zhan Xingruo's shoulder.

Wu Zheng rushed in, but was so shocked by this scene that he swallowed what he wanted to say.

Zhan Xingruo was exhausted to the limit, looked up at Wuzheng, and just stretched out his finger to his mouth, signaling Wuzheng not to wake Gu Qing up.

Wu Zheng walked over lightly, the imperial physician followed behind.

"How is he...?" Wu Zheng squatted down, looked at Gu Qing, and asked.

"I don't know." Zhan Xingruo shook his head and frowned, "Since here, I've been sweating and can't wake up." As he spoke, he tapped Gu Qing's forehead with his cuff.

"I brought the imperial physician here." Wu Zheng said, and greeted the imperial physician.

The imperial physician nodded, and knelt down to hold Gu Qing's right hand.

After a long silence, Zhan Xingruo asked softly, "How is he, imperial physician?"

The imperial doctor shook his head, "The pulse condition is very weak, if you don't detoxify quickly, I'm afraid..."

Zhan Xingruo lowered his head, looked at Gu Qing's almost bloodless lips, suddenly lowered his head, and kissed him lightly in front of everyone.

Doctor, don't overdo it.

Wuzheng took a breath.

"A Li, take him back to the Prince's Mansion first."

Zhan Xingruo raised his head, but his eyes lingered on Gu Qing's face, unwilling to leave. "Okay. Go back right away."

"Master Military Advisor..." the imperial physician hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"I want to take some blood from his nails to see where the poison has gone."

Zhan Xingruo nodded, grabbed Gu Qing's hand, and tapped Gu Qing's fingertips with his sword.

Gu Qing was awakened by the sudden stabbing pain, and when she opened her eyes, there were overlapping figures in the room.Gu Qing scratched out of thin air with her hand, moved her lips a few times, and then called out hoarsely, "Military division, military division..."

"I'm here." Zhan Xingruo stretched out his hand, interlocked his fingers, and clenched Gu Qing's powerless hand.Gu Qing seemed relieved, stopped immediately, leaned her head on Zhan Xingruo's shoulder, and closed her eyes again.

Wu Zheng frowned, he had never seen Gu Qing like this before.

"It seems that Zhang Jiyao really wanted his life. We went too late."

Zhan Xingruo shook his head, "Thanks to you and Chen Jiang, one step later, and one more drink, he's probably gone. By the way, where is Chen Jiang?" Zhan Xingruo asked, "Is it still safe?"

Wuzheng nodded, "I've joined him, Chen Jiang is fine."

"Why didn't you let him come with you? It's safer to have Chen Jiang here."

"I'm afraid Chen Jiang won't be able to come." Wu Zheng said.

"What do you mean?"

"Last night, there was a letter from the Northwest camp, saying that the barbarians have come again. Now that the ghost face has retreated, Chen Jiang is planning to ask the emperor for instructions to lead the army back." Wu Zheng replied.

"Don't go back now. The barbarians often invade the northwest border. The Northwest Army has resisted the barbarians for decades. They are experienced and well-trained. Why should Chen Jiang go back?" Zhan Xingruo asked with a frown.

"This time is different. The number of barbarians is five times that of before. And they are extremely fierce."

Zhan Xingruo turned his head, "Why?"

"I don't know." Wu Zheng shook his head, "Chen Jiang wants to go back, he is afraid of accidents."

"It's not that there are lieutenants staying there. The Northwest Army has always been solid, and there will be no problems in a short time. The barbarians are coming fiercely and suddenly. I'm afraid it's not that simple. Don't let Chen Jiang go back, so as not to fall into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Zhan Xingruo ordered .

"It's just that Zhang Jiyao commanded and deployed the Northwest army randomly, and ignored the request for food and grass. If this continues, no matter how steel the army is, it will not be able to sustain it." Wu Zheng said.

"This way..." Zhan Xingruo took a long breath, then looked down at Gu Qing in his arms.

"Just let Zhang Jiyao stop interfering with the Northwest Army." Zhan Xingruo said.

"But how to do it? Zhang Jiyao holds the military power in his hand, and it is reasonable for him to command the army as long as he can find a reason. How to stop him?"

Zhan Xingruo frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Wu Zheng, "You're right. Everything he does is justifiable, and we can't do anything. I have a solution." Zhan Xingruo paused and didn't speak again.

Without arguing or knowing, I had no choice but to ask, "What can I do?"

Zhan Xingruo would habitually bite his lower lip when he was in trouble, Wuzheng had a bad feeling, but he didn't know what Zhan Xingruo was going to say, and saw that his lip had been bitten and turned white.

"Tear your face," Zhan Xingruo said.

Wu Zheng tilted his head slightly, motioning for Zhan Xingruo to continue.

"If we don't tear ourselves apart with Zhang Jiyao, with our strength, it is absolutely impossible to compete with him. The embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant's nest, and if Zhang Jiyao continues to corrode the moon, we will have no way to recover. Although Zhang Jiyao said that he has power, but It's not like covering the sky with one hand, if all the civil and military officials were Zhang Jiyao's people, he would have turned against him long ago."

"What does Ah Li mean?" Wu Zheng asked.

"You have to see the team clearly, find out its henchmen, know yourself and the enemy, and win every battle. If you allow the enemy to be in the dark, you will only consume yourself and draw the ground into a prison." Zhan Xingruo said.

Wuzheng nodded, "In this way, we can find our fellow faction to resist."

"Yes." Zhan Xingruo said.

"Then, how do you tear your face apart?" Wu Zheng asked.

Zhan Xingruo paused, and said decisively, "Reform."

"Reform?" Wu Zheng asked in surprise, "What do you want to change?" Before Zhan Xingruo could answer, Wu Zheng waved his hand again immediately, "No, A Li, it will never work. If Zhang Jiyao doesn't fail, my father...reforms again I'm afraid it won't change."

Zhan Xingruo shook his head calmly, "My reform is not about drinking." He stretched his cuff with his hand and brushed Gu Qing's cheek.

"What do you mean?" Wu Wu asked.

"Of course I know that the current reform cannot shake the old law. But do you know what is the most taboo in times of war?"

"Reform?" Wu Zheng asked speculatively.

"Yes, major changes in internal affairs are the most taboo. Internal struggles do not see blood but are like swords and swords. Everyone must tense up and go all out, and have no intention of governing others. Once the control of military affairs is paralyzed, the distant army will undoubtedly be defeated."

"Then, this, since it will be paralyzed, why change the law?" Wu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"It's not the same. Zhang Jiyao's control of the Northwest Army was not out of wanting to win. For the Northwest Army, the best command is not to command. They have fought against the barbarians for many years. As long as the supply of food, grass and weapons is timely, they will naturally know how to do it. "

Wu Zheng seemed to understand, and nodded, "Then A Li means that we should reform to attract attention and blow up Zhang Jiyao's party?"

"Exactly."

Zhan Xingruo and Wuzheng looked at each other and smiled.

"Speaking of this, then," Wu Zheng was halfway through, Gu Qing's body suddenly tightened, and he rolled over in Zhan Xingruo's arms a few times in discomfort.

Zhan Xingruo's attention was immediately attracted, and he asked Gu Qing softly, "How is it?"

Gu Qing just hummed vaguely in her mouth, stretched out her hand to look for Zhan Xingruo, Zhan Xingruo put her hand in his hand, and only looked up when he saw that he was quiet.

"I'm running out of strength, carry him back." Zhan Xingruo said to Wu Zheng.

"Me?" Wu Zheng frowned, thinking how could he do such a thing as a dignified prince, not to mention caring about emotion, even if he saw Zhan Xingruo doing that kind of behavior with his own eyes, he would feel that it was all bewitching and bewitched by emotion. She thought that she would settle accounts with him after Gu Qing woke up.

"The guard's clothes are too hard. He has injuries. You should carry them on your back." Zhan Xingruo carefully helped Gu Qing up. Seeing that Wu Zheng was unwilling, he added, "Without him, we can't win. For the reform, go back." I will tell you more details."

Wu Zheng suffocated, he had no choice but to squat down and let Gu Qing, who was covered in sweat, press on his back.
