Rebirth of the First General

The only two ways to fight on the battlefield, one is to attack from a distance, the weapon is a bow and arrow, Du Xiuqi shot from a long distance with one hand, he has already proved that he is a good fighter, warriors must respect their combat power, and in the burning eyes of the officers and soldiers present, it is already It is awe that grows.

But Tang Kai was very calm this time, who would let the uncle who guards the gate do this?He looked at his second brother to see how he moved.

Tang Fang, however, watched calmly as Du Xiuqi selected those volunteers and divided them up for a competition. The ones with the best archery skills were kept, the ones with the best close-handed saber skills and sword skills were kept...

Until most of the masters left, Du Xiuqi counted the number of people, leaving behind the small officials who made the books, and Shi Shiran left with the fish and dragon soldiers.

Tang Fang took the little official to hand over, leaving Gu Jiayi and Tang Kai who were fine.

Those who were selected were mostly children of the Han family, who were always self-reliant, and Tang Kai knew many of them. Thinking of them leaving this school for their future, I felt a little depressed.

The atmosphere was made a bit thick by Tang Kai, Gu Jiayi stood with one leg propped up, and changed to the other when he was tired.

After a while, both legs were tired, and he patted his dejected little cousin, "There is always a banquet in the world, and those people may not always stay in the captain's camp. Maybe this experience will make them go all the way." It will be smoother, and I will be happy for them to accompany and protect the prince!"

"I'm not too happy."

"That's because you are still young."

Gu Jiayi pulled up an arrow, held his breath, and released it towards the target.

Three or four hundred steps away, the arrow's tail feathers swayed on the target, making a shuttle sound.

After shaking for a while, the arrow fell from the target due to lack of strength.Tang Kai looked at Gu Jiayi like a ghost: "It's amazing..."

☆, the decree has arrived!

At the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Gu Ye said goodbye and dragged him to drink a few pots of tea, eat another meal, and his brother-in-law, who drank a few catties of wine, stepped on the carriage at a crooked pace.

The smiling Tang Wei told the coachman: "Go back and tell your wife that your young master will stay at your grandfather's house for a few days. When the time comes, the Duke's Mansion will send him back. Don't worry. And your master, he didn't drink much. , I guess it's because the capacity for alcohol has gotten worse again that I'm so drunk here, please drive slowly."

The words are heartfelt, if not for driving the drunk master back every time, the coachman must have believed Tang Wei, but Gu Ye had already explained it, and he respectfully responded to each one, expressing that he would definitely treat his wife well. Explain clearly.

The carriage creaked away again.

Tang Wei turned around and went to the Martial Arts Field, the place was empty, looking at the plum blossom pile that Tang Kai used to squat on horseback, he smiled and rubbed the center of his brows.

"It takes a lot of practice to know how to be obedient."

Gu Jiayi and Tang Kai rode horses and returned to the city at noon, had a meal at a restaurant, and walked around the capital, and only went to the Duke's Mansion slowly after the sunset.

Tang Kai looked at Gu Jiayi pitifully: "Brother Guan, please speak kindly to Uncle. If you don't ask Grandfather, I will be paralyzed. Uncle must be a smiling tiger."

"Didn't you take his token and be afraid of punishment?"

Speaking of the token, Tang Kai screamed, "Isn't it just to take you to see the competition, who knows that it's not interesting at all, fake swords and fake swords, it's so boring! If I knew it, I might as well take you to stand on the plum blossom pile for a day , stand until you obediently go to school, and honestly go to the exam for scholar."

Gu Jiayi rubbed his nose, he couldn't see that person without Tang Kai messing around, but uncle is not a tiger with a smiling face, he belongs to a fox.

On the second day, the fox Tang Wei got up early, took Tang Kai out of the bed, and threw him on the plum blossom pile.

But Gu Jiayi got up earlier, before the mist cleared, he went to the main courtyard to pay his respects.

When the housekeeper asked for instructions, Duke Ding Tang Chengwen was halfway through washing his face. He paused for a moment, showing half of his face, and asked the housekeeper to call someone in. He quickly rubbed his face three or two times before Gu Jiayi entered the door. Put down the veil.

When Gu Jiayi came in, he saw Tang Chengwen wearing a short jacket, standing there smiling kindly at him.

Although he is almost seventy years old, he still has the spirit of a dragon and a horse. Judging by his posture, he still has to go out for morning exercises.

Gu Jiayi greeted him respectfully, but Tang Chengwen clapped his hands, "It's not that I don't want to learn those books from your father, what are you doing?"

"Grandpa, you still salute the elders, otherwise what will happen." Gu Jiayi smiled slightly, after a good night's sleep, he was full of energy, and he was more relaxed than before.

Tang Chengwen stared at his grandson and said, "Have you really thought about it? Don't go to school anymore, martial arts is not easy. Grandpa sweats more than you have ever drank."

Gu Jiayi smiled and went to ask the butler, "Uncle Li, is it easy to find my brother's previous clothes in the house? I want to change into a bunt and go out with Grandpa."

Uncle Li also watched him grow up, saw him caring, and smiled kindly, "Yes, I think Third Young Master's clothes fit better than Fourth Young Master's."

Tang Chengwen snorted: "It's nothing to grow so fat, I don't have any strength at all, I ate so much food for nothing!"

Tang Kai is the strongest among the four boys in Duke Ding's mansion, he is not considered puffy, but the flesh looks very strange.Others grew meat, either fat from fat, or tendon meat from hard work, but Tang Kai was like a living monkey, but he didn't have those characteristics of being as strong as a mountain, so he was often laughed at by Tang Chengwen.

After a while, the housekeeper, Uncle Li, brought a brand new set of bunts, only with a few creases. Gu Jiayi changed into them, and went to the martial arts field with Tang Chengwen.

Tang Kai stood on the pile of plum blossoms, dripping with sweat, and was extremely careful to prevent himself from falling. When he saw Tang Chengwen from a distance, he was overjoyed, "Grandfather, I'm so tired!"

Tang Chengwen pointed to Tang Kai and Gu Jiayi and said, "Brother Guan, tell me, do you want your cousin to come down?"

Gu Jiayi walked over to help Tang Kai who was about to fall, "Grandpa, you won't lose any flesh standing here, why not go punch and move your whole body, or before March, little cousin will be capable."

Although people with great strength are generally stronger, a knowledgeable person like Tang Chengwen naturally knows that it is better to be thinner and leaner, at least to live a long life.

Tang Kai was dripping with sweat, leaning on Gu Jiayi's body. Fortunately, Gu Jiayi had been more sloppy when he was in the frontier, so he didn't dislike him.

However, a hundred catties of meat is not so easy to carry. When they arrived at the boxing training place, Gu Jiayi handed over Tang Kai to Uncle Li and asked him to take a bath and have breakfast.

Tang Chengwen saw that he acted more steadily than he had seen a few days ago, so he nodded inwardly.With his hands gesticulating the moves in the army, he asked Gu Jiayi to watch and learn from the side.

After he played the first time, Gu Jiayi followed.This set of Boxing Valley Chiayi has been held earlier, but Tang Chengwen's is more fluent than the one taught by the military, and it has a natural charm.

The fists and feet move consciously, and the mind is gradually emptied,

"I have a good memory, and I can pose well, but I don't have enough strength, and I'm almost ready."

Gu Jiayi nodded slightly, after a set of punches, he also knew where the problem was.

Tang Chengwen kept stroking his beard, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart. What a talented child, thanks to those people's difficult exam questions, they scared people over.

It's better for us warriors, looking at Gu Jiayi's thin shoulders and waist, Tang Chengwen decided to cross his elbows this morning.

A set of punches was repeated several times, Gu Jiayi broke out in a little sweat, and took the handkerchief from Uncle Li.

"Cross elbows this morning." Tang Chengwen said.

"Master's plate?" Uncle Li was surprised.

Tang Chengwen stroked his beard, "He's fatter than Xiaosi, it's so embarrassing to go out, don't give him any elbows these days."

The head of the family should consider the health of his children and grandchildren. Tang Chengwen watched the housekeeper go away solemnly.Then I had a question-and-answer chat with Gu Jiayi.

"Brother Guan, your father agreed to you not going to school? Your uncle left it last night, right? Your father is probably drunk again." Tang Chengwen laughed as he said.

Gu Jiayi said: "Father agrees, he won't go to school anymore, his brains are not as good as others', and he is going round and round, guessing."

"Your father's thoughts are very righteous, so it doesn't seem to be difficult for him." Tang Chengwen smiled lightly, "It depends on what you think, these days, just live happily, and at my age, there are more things to think about .”

"Well, although it's a lifetime to be happy, a lifetime to be a dude, and a lifetime to work hard, but in the end, it's worth it if you don't regret it." Gu Jiayi is actually neither old nor young, and he died once again, and Tang Chengwen can also It is possible to talk about such a deep topic.

When the elbows were on the table, two people who had spent a lot of energy in the morning, and Tang Kai, whose eyes were almost green from the wait, were so deep that they became floating clouds, floating in the sky of Kyoto. Asahi dispersed.

Gu Jiayi respected the old and loved the young. He only ate two small pieces with his elbow. Tang Chengwen tapped Tang Kai's head with his chopsticks, "You don't have to wait in the future. You can eat more when you are hungry for a long time."

Tang Kai nodded and said nothing.However, Gu Jiayi knew that Tang Kai wouldn't have the guts to eat the elbow that was going to be given to his uncle Tang Wei without Grandpa around, and he wouldn't dare either.

On the other side, Tang Wei, who had been nagged by Uncle Li, agreed a few times perfunctorily, and when he left, he turned around and told the chief follower to give him the elbow of the restaurant at noon and send it to the school captain's camp.

Gu Jiayi stayed in Duke Ding's mansion for a few days before returning to Youxiang's mansion.

Tang You heard that her natal elbow was delicious, so there was an extra dish of braised elbow on the table at night.

Gu Ye was busy with his work all day, and he also had an appetite when he saw the elbow, but after two mouthfuls, he was about to order someone to serve wine, when he remembered where this familiar good taste came from.

Seeing Gu Jiayi obediently smiling as he picked up vegetables for Tang You, Gu Ye knocked on his own bowl and got a piece of sweet and sour fish with the thorns removed.

It's pretty good. "I told your uncle that in a few days, I will live in the school camp, study hard and do things honestly."

Tang You put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth delicately, with a worried expression on his face, "Don't be too ambitious, don't tire yourself out, just be good, mother will ask someone to bring you food."

Gu Ye glared at him, "Don't listen to your mother, she didn't let you sleep while reading a book when you were a child, you still want to sleep after reading a book now! If you want to do it, do it hard, and don't rush forward and work hard, be brave and resourceful, slowly Picture it!"

Tang You moved his chair, snatched away the uneaten piece of fish in Gu Ye's bowl, and gritted his silver teeth hard.

Gu Ye raised his beard and glared at her, Gu Jiayi decided to go first.

After being a bachelor for so many years, I still have to watch my parents fight and fight. It's very difficult to be a human being.

A few days later, Gu Jiayi packed up and moved into Xiaowei Camp.

The special household in a single room sweated every day and ate big fish and meat with different tastes. It didn't take long for him to grow taller again, which made Tang Kai jealous.

"How do you grow so fast!" Tang Kai stood on the bench, glaring at Gu Jiayi.

Gu Jiayi raised his hand and patted his chin, which has become firmer recently, "Little cousin, in order for you to grow taller, I decided to quit your snacks."

Tang Kai jumped off the bench, wobbled a bit before standing still.Just as he was pointing at Gu Jiayi with trembling fingers, about to say something, Tang Fang's hurried voice came from behind him.

"Brother Guan, hurry back and receive the order!"

"Accept the order?"

"The news from the palace, the decree is related to you!"

☆, inside and outside the palace wall (catch)

"The news from the palace, the decree is related to you!"

From the suburbs to the city, the horse ran for two quarters of an hour.Gu Jiayi thought a lot along the way, and he doesn’t remember receiving an order like this before. In his previous life, he failed the ranking for the fourth time at the age of 17. He was an official in the Prince’s Mansion. His father, who was found to have evil intentions, drove to Beiman.

He is only sixteen now, and he has never received an imperial edict in his memory.Moreover, he is a young man without any special features, even if his father's status is not ordinary, his will should not have anything to do with him.

But Cousin Fang was sure that it was true that the imperial decree had something to do with him.

So, where did he catch the eye of the person above?

Thinking that I have met Lin Yu, who is also Lin Yu's father, could it be possible that even Lin Yu would mind seeing a young man like him, would his father be suspicious if he behaved so well-behaved?

Seeing that Gu Jiayi was very nervous, Tang Fang comforted him, "Brother Guan, don't think too much, maybe it's a happy event, and it's possible to give you a small official."

Gu Jiayi forced a smile, "I borrowed a good word from my cousin."

The two rode their horses all the way into Wenxuan Courtyard.

Gu Jiayi asked Gu Changzhong to deliver two servings of hot water, and after quickly washing the horse, he was sweating all over, and went to the front hall again.

Gu Ye was wearing an official uniform, Tang You was wearing the heavy and gorgeous Mrs. Yipin's official uniform, and Gu Jiayi was also wearing a new brocade dress. This scene looked like a lively day, and everyone was waiting in fancy clothes, but unfortunately no one had that kind of thought .

Tang You pulled Gu Ye's sleeve nervously: "Master, what happened?" She had already met Tang Fang, and knew that this decree was related to Gu Jiayi, so she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Gu Ye patted her hand lightly, his stern face became gentler, and his calm appearance made people feel at ease.

"I don't know too well. Grand Master Qin is on duty with the Holy One today. When he reminded me, he was still smiling. I think it won't be bad news. Don't worry."

Tang You didn't believe it, "Since the Qin family gave birth to a Qin noble concubine and the eldest prince, which thing has been reliable? I think you don't deal with them on weekdays, and he suddenly reminded you that there is a problem!"

Gu Ye smiled after hearing this, "The Holy Majesty has his own decision, no nonsense is allowed."

Family, country and world, monarch and minister, father and son.

Tang You sighed, after being a husband and wife for so many years, she knew the nature of Gu Ye's scholar.Some things, even if he is helpless, he will suffer.

Not long after, the butler led an adult in a dark blue official uniform to the front hall.

Everyone in the Gu family kowtowed to see them.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Prime Minister You has worked diligently for the country and has worked hard for many years. Today's only son Gu Shi Jiayi, Zhong Min Yuxiu, has a good character and is rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. For this time, the Northern Man rewards the right captain of the army and hopes to serve the country. Invigorate me to the mighty wind of Chu. Do this!"

Lan Guanfu handed the imperial decree to Gu Ye with both hands, "Master Right, congratulations!"

Gu Ye took the imperial decree, handed it to Gu Jiayi who was beside him, turned around and raised the sleeves of the voluminous official uniform for a moment, and shot a red seal.

"I don't know why the Holy Majesty thought of the little boy. He happened to be off duty today. Can the lord tell me a thing or two?"

The man bent slightly, and said softly and lowly, "Your Majesty met with the First Prince and Grand Master Qin today and chatted with him. During lunch, the Holy One checked the Prince and First Prince's homework."

After finishing speaking, Lan Guanfu took a team of guards and left.

Gu Jiayi opened the imperial decree to read it, Tang You asked Gu Ye, "The right captain, is it the same as the officers and soldiers from the captain's battalion managed by the elder brother?"

"Almost, given the school captain's background, the official rank of the seventh rank. If the envoy travels safely, I think I will be transferred to the palace to be on duty like other school captains after coming back."

After Gu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Gu Jiayi, "Follow me."

Tang You turned pale, watching the father and son go to the study.

Gu Ye's study room is simple and elegant, with very few sundries, except for scrolls, and the fragrance of ink lingers in the room.

Gu Ye rolled up the sleeves of his official uniform, and the crimson robe was changed so that he lost his stability and seriousness, and appeared more easy-going.

Gu Jiayi quietly watched him finish a pot of tea, and went over to ask for a cup.

Gu Ye poured him a glass, and gave himself another.

Gu Jiayi said frankly: "Father, I should have met the prince once. A month ago, I was watching other people's competitions in the school captain's camp. When I met the prince in casual clothes, I guess he was with Du Xiuqi. There are hundreds of people."

"Well, this matter has nothing to do with you. I called you here to remind you a few words." Gu Ye said.

"I'm afraid the army will be uneasy this time. You need to keep these points in mind on the way. First, listen to the superior. This time, Du Xiuqi should be leading the team. He is a relative of the crown prince. Don't take the lead and listen to the arrangements honestly. Don't forget to hone yourself along the way, although I don't know much about hand skills, I also know the need to practice diligently."

"Secondly, if there is no need to stay away from the prince's car on weekdays, it should be regarded as a trip. I conclude that there must be several groups of assassins and bandits along the way. The people of the Qin family are nothing more than villains. I think His Royal Highness It's not easy to bully. It's just that if you get along and get beheaded, your father can't save you."

"Third, if you are assigned an errand to explore the road, you can push it if you can. When you can't push it, everyone will get together. For food, water, accommodation, etc., I will borrow a few people from your grandfather's family. , they will take care of you."

Gu Ye took a sip of tea, and said: "However, you also learn to do some chores, don't feel like you are at home, wishing to lie down and eat. Those people from your outside team have all been on the battlefield, and they are all righteous men. Relying on your grandparents' family for the elderly, you should also respect them."

Gu Jiayi nodded earnestly: "I know. I have memorized one, two, three, and four things about Dad. It's so thoughtful, much more thoughtful than my son's."

Gu Ye glanced at him, and when he spoke bluntly, his reasoning seemed rough. It was his style to speak in a subtle and steady manner, but he was worried that this bastard would not understand, so he had to explain clearly one by one.

But Gu Jiayi's rare flattery made Gu Ye happy, and he stroked his beautiful beard proudly.

"What kind of flattery! I see that your mother is very worried. You go to see her and comfort her. Don't go to the school's camp for a few days, and stay at home with your mother."

After drinking a pot of tea, he remembered that there was a cousin in the front hall, and Gu Ye threw Gu Jiayi a military book and two travel notes related to the northern barbarians, and went to entertain others by himself.

I just love to preach!Gu Jiayi smiled lightly, picked up the book and read it, his quiet demeanor really looked like a young man who doesn't know the world.

Gu Ye made his promise, and Gu Jiayi didn't go out again for the next few days.

***

Imperial City East Palace.

The room is full of gold and green glass, jade-colored beauties, red clothes fluttering, and sleeves dancing.

Lin Yu sat on the lower seat with a straight face, swept away the beauties that filled his hall with the smell of powder, and looked at the woman in his main seat with a headache.

The woman seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, or twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a strange mix of dignified and lively temperament, which was five points similar to Lin Yu's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and she was even more stunning.She smiled softly and watched the beauties dance. When she was in a good mood, she clapped her hands and joined hands.

After finishing the song, those beauties in red waved away.

Lin Yu said, "Queen, are you happy watching?"

Seeing Lin Yu's boring and upright face towards the enchanting beauty, Jiang Qing, whom he called his mother, turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Yu with regret, "Son, didn't you break your sleeves? I just wanted to fall into your arms Does that beauty who went here look very lovely?"

Lin Yu couldn't stand the rogue empress empress, and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Mother queen."

Jiang Qing shook her head and sighed softly: "Son, it's time to find a crown princess."

Lin Yu kept a straight face and didn't answer.

"I don't want to hear my mother say this, so my mother won't say it. You have had your own opinions since you were a child."

Jiang Qing looked at him for a while, then got up gracefully, and walked like Lin Yu step by step, the accessories were ringing, and she was dressed in a palace attire of lotus root, which looked like a swaying lotus flower.

Lin Yu sent the beautiful queen mother out of the hall, and he was relieved to see the woman's figure getting farther away.

Behind him, the eunuch in charge Baxi pursed his lips and laughed like a background board.

Lin Yu turned around and stared, with a cold tone: "Baxi, do you think Gu should find you a beauty?"

Baxi immediately knelt down, grabbed the corner of Lin Yu's robe with one hand, and raised his hand to cover his whole face sobbing, not forgetting to express his loyalty: "Your Highness doesn't have any beauties, I dare to think about it. Besides, people like this slave are not in vain Did you harm others? Your Highness still pokes this servant's heart, this servant is wronged!"

Lin Yu please kick him, knowing that this slave is crying fakely, and let him go.

Stride forward, beauty?

beauty!It's just a face, what's the use of coming.

Aren't the men on the throne, the women in the palace, and his so-called brothers all beauties?By the way, he is also a beauty in the eyes of others. How could Jiang Qing's son, who was once the most beautiful in the world, look ordinary.

But most beauties either want to kill him or marry him.To marry him is to be a prince concubine, a queen in the future, a gift from all nations, and a splendid world?Killing him is also very good. Countless brothers of his are fighting for that seat. After he dies, the dragon chair said to be made of gold belongs to one of them.

Standing in front of the majestic gate of the Eastern Palace, behind you are extremely luxurious palaces and pavilions, in front of you is a long endless red palace wall, and those palace people and guards who are standing or walking look out of the palace wall, It is bustling and bustling Kyoto.

The uninformed common people said that the palace is a rich town, that the palace is a pile of money, and that the palace is a beauty cave.

They are all right.

This imperial palace has taken the world's wealth, money, and beauties to have this magnificent scene.

All his clothes, food, and porridge were taken from the people.

He, Lin Yu, does not want beauties, but wants the people of Great Chu to live in harmony and beauty!

☆, the army goes out of the city

A corner of the school grounds of the Defense Army.

"Left Captain Yang Bai!"

"To!"

"Right Captain Gu Jiayi!"

"To!"

"The commander-in-chief Tianwei!"

"To!"

……

While counting people, Du Xiuqi marked them on the paper.These good and bad people are all exams given by the master.

He needs to manage these people well and win over or subdue them as much as possible.Those in the enemy camp should be on guard and isolated.

General Du, who was full of viciousness when pointing out people, took off his helmet and scanned the crowd with sharp eyes like a sword.

"My official name is Du Xiuqi, and I rank as the third-rank town border general. This time, you and I are the accompanying officers and soldiers of the northern barbarians. You will be responsible for many matters along the way. As the chief general of the trip, I will arrange for you to be on duty all the way. , or guard the food, or protect the envoys, or go forward to explore the way."

"There will be official records later, and you will tell them everything you know. If there are false reports, they will be dealt with according to military regulations!"

"Now, headed by Captain Zuo! Run three laps around the school field!"

A dozen or so people looked at each other, Yang Bai swung his two thin legs resignedly, and ran obediently, but at a slightly slower speed.

Gu Jiayi followed closely behind, still idly looking at his companions in the days to come.

He didn't know these people, but Gu Ye had already copied a list for him.With that information, he can also identify people in all directions.Yang Bai in front is a typical weak literati, as thin as if he would be blown away when the wind blows, the school lieutenant's uniform, which should be slim, is dressed like a child imitating the clothes made by an adult.

There are eight people behind, three of them are pale, and the swelling under their eyes has not disappeared, it is estimated that they were overworked last night.There is also a huge one, which occupies two of his places; the other four seem to know each other. Although they wear the official uniform of a commander, they don't wear official hats, and they wear delicate jade or gold crowns on their heads.

Take a closer look, a group of people looks like an adult man, he has grown rapidly recently, his beard like velvet is gradually protruding, his hair is tied up in a black official hat, those who don't know will guess his age wrong,

After half a circle, Yang Bai's two slender legs could no longer support him. He took two steps slowly and walked to the side, so as not to block people.

Gu Jiayi nodded at him, raised his chin to signal to Du Xiuqi.

Yang Bai followed his line of sight, and there was a small official with a pen and paper beside Du Xiuqi, who seemed to be here to record.

He stepped forward, and after performing a literati's salute, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and he cupped his fists at Du Xiuqi again, "Your official is used to it, don't blame me, my lord."

Du Xiuqi watched him blushing from cheeks to neck, silently nodded and backed away.He was afraid that if he continued to read, the scholar would cry.

Seeing the murderous man backing away, Yang Bai happily approached the little official, "Lieutenant Zuo, Yang Bai. Twenty years old, a scholar three years ago, well, I don't know any weapons and my physical strength is also weak, but I am born My body is weak and I can't stand the practice. I'm going to bring a lot of herbs and books along with me."

Du Xiuqi: Are the herbs brought to the soldiers?Have a heart.

Yang Baisiwen's voice: "The herbs are brought with you, I'm afraid I'll get sick on the way. Well, that's all, thank you very much."

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiayi followed the acquainted four-person team and ran three laps.

Gu Jiayi wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't look like he was panting after playing with Tang Kai for a while.

After the little official finished recording the information of several people, those who hadn't finished running also came over one after another, and he became busy again.

Du Xiuqi looked at the five who finished three laps, one was the right minister, one was the grandson of Qin Taishi, one was the minister, and the two servants were all of great background.

After excluding the four-person team on the side of the First Prince, he focused his attention on Gu Jiayi, whose identity symbolized that he could win over.

Du Xiuqi looked at Gu Jiayi who was almost as tall as him.

A handsome young man?Du Xiuqi recalled in his mind the information sent by the following people: he was sixteen years old, a scholar, frail, lazy, gentle and honest.

Could it be that the one who came was fake?Du Xiuqi suddenly called out: "Gu Jiayi?"

Gu Jiayi hummed, not wanting to talk to him.

Du Xiuqi looked at his stern face, and suddenly thought of his stern-faced master, touched his chin, and decided not to talk to these serious people with too serious faces.Anyway, the weight of the right-hand man is also worthy of the master himself to win over this stinky kid.

The first conversation between Gu Jiayi and General Zhen Guo in the future ended briefly like this.

Yang Bai waited for the murderer to leave, and leaned over to Gu Jiayi, "Brother, I'm next to you, Yang Bai, thank you for your reminder."

Gu Jiayi curled up his mouth, with a smile in his eyes, and a hearty feeling emerged, "In Xiagu Jiayi, it's nothing to mention."

"Brother Gu, are you the right minister's son?" Yang Bai looked at Gu Jiayi, wanting to see Gu Ye from his face.

"Well, that's my father." Seeing Yang Bai's admiration for his father, Gu Jiayi said with a smile: "I also admire my father."

Yang Bai: ...

These dozens of people practiced in the camp of the city defense army for ten days. Gu Jiayi became familiar with those soldiers, learned a lot of real news, and improved a lot in terms of skills. Under the brighter sun, The skin color is finally out of fairness.

At this time, the team that sent the Northern Barbarians to reward the army was about to set off.

The people saw each other off along the road, from Zhengyang Street in front of the palace gate to the city gate.

Gu Jiayi was riding on the horse, feeling ashamed for a moment that he could also receive such a voice.

These voices should be those who guarded the northern barbarians or the southern lands, or strangled the bandits Haiwo, those men who had shed blood for the stability of the country.Many of them stayed in those places forever, serving as military households all their lives, or they closed their eyes, not knowing whether they were missing arms or legs, and fell asleep forever.

He saw that the two roads of Kyoto were bustling and bustling, but many people also had poor clothes and pale faces, and some beggars were mixed in the crowd, looking at their armor curiously and disdainfully.

He saw the earnest eyes of many parents, turned his head and looked into the distance, the envoy's carriage was slowly driving towards him, but the right-hand man standing beside him on the city wall was getting farther and farther away from him.

Be courageous and resourceful, and draw it slowly!

First...two, three, four...

There is no need to be very promising, as long as you are doing well...

Yang who was beside him poked him lightly with the tail of his whip, and he came back to his senses and smiled gratefully.

The green grass in front is vines, occasionally a touch of yellow pops out, the yellow flowers in memory, see them off.

This is a new life, his parents are healthy, and he is very close to that person, as if life has entered the same path.

He may not be smart enough, nor brave enough, but he has the most loyal heart in the world.His emperor will be the wisest monarch.

He thought, become the number one general of this big Chu!

Du Xiuqi felt a chill behind him, moved his waist uncomfortably, scanned the front vigilantly, and gestured carefully to the experienced soldiers.

But the journey was very peaceful, and at noon, they arrived safely at the first resting place.

A spacious flat land, a small river flows through.

The dry rations for the previous few days were all prepared by themselves, and the soldiers sat on the ground in groups.Gu Jiayi and the others were of high rank, and the treatment was not bad, but it was limited to having an oilcloth on the ground.

After eating the pancakes with meat in two or three bites, after resting for half an hour, the team continued to march forward.

Soon, the flat land disappeared, and the trees on both sides increased, and the city was covered by endless green or gray.

After passing the flat land, even if it is away from the inhabited area of ​​Kyoto, Gu Jiayi knew that the road after that would not be peaceful.

☆, Mr. Jiang Jiu

The noon sun was shining brightly, and in the middle of the procession, the spacious envoy's carriage was pulled forward by four horses.

Baxi sat cross-legged in a corner of the carriage, fiddled with Ning Shenxiang, and in the middle of the carriage were two players playing chess.

One of them was Lin Yu who was only traveling as an envoy, and sitting opposite him was an old man with a plain robe and white beard and hair.

"What does the crown prince think of the Qin family?" the old man asked after placing a white piece on the chessboard.

Lin Yu tapped the black stone on the white jade chessboard, "Why did Mr. Jiu think of asking about this?"

Jiang Jiu stroked his beard with a smile: "Perhaps it's because this game of chess is about to lose, and Your Highness has become more and more thoughtful. Although this long dragon is so ingeniously laid out, even if you can see it clearly, the old man can't prevent it, and can't break it."

Lin Yu didn't let go of the sunspot in his hand, "Mr. Jiu was joking, you taught me the whole thing."

Jiang Jiu laughed, "Haha, the same teacher can teach different students. Your mother is not as good as you, but she is worse than you in a little way, do you know where?"

Old urchin!Lin Yu lowered his eyes, "Respect the teacher?"

Jiang Jiu nodded, a child can be taught.

Lin Jue raised his eyes again, with a serious face, and glanced at Jiang Jiu's slightly swollen stomach from eating too many snacks.Said: "I respect the teacher's way, sir, but you are serious again?"

Hearing this, Baxi obediently pulled the small grid on the dark side of the car and stacked the snacks in front of the old man high.

Jiang Jiu glared at Baxi, "You are the only one who is clever!"

Baxi smiled, glanced at Lin Xi who was chuckling, and hid in the corner satisfied.

Jiang Jiu wanted to say more, but Lin Jue brought the topic back to the beginning, "Although the Qin family didn't do many evil things, but they sought ill-gotten gains and messed up the court, I will get rid of it."

Jiang Jiu also became serious, and said: "Your Highness's mission to Beiman this time, so-and-so originally intended to promote the name of the emperor, win the hearts of the people, and prepare for the future. But you have responded to many difficulties today, and even agreed. Bring those officials' children in the army, and blindly back down, I don't know what to say?"

Lin Yu said: "Sir, I mean the northern barbarians!"

Jiang Jiu was stunned.

After a long time, he reassuredly said, "Very kind!"

Lin Yu put down the chip in his hand, "Sir, you lost."

"There are some things that are useless to hide. It is better to cover them with water and earth, and soldiers to block them. Some things take the lead, and there may be unexpected effects."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, the carriage was tapped rhythmically, indicating that someone was coming.

Baxi quickly ran to the outside of the curtain and sat beside the groom.

Not far away, Du Xiuqi with a dusty face came.

"Ba Gonggong, please see the envoy."

Although it was only separated by a curtain, Du Xiuqi still acted according to the rules, Jiang Jiu nodded secretly in the carriage, this guy is not bad.

Baxi lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing a pleasing round face, "Master, General Du is here."

Lin Yu pointed to the pastry on the table, "You take it out to eat, and let General Du come in."

Although the carriage is big, Du Xiuqi is not like Jiang Jiu, who has grown into a pile of bones, and is not as thin as Lin Zhen. He has a huge frame and grows tall, which makes the carriage look much smaller as soon as he enters .

"Your Highness, today's duty has been arranged. However, I don't know how to arrange the ten people?"

Those ten people were naturally the ten people including Gu Jiayi, their official positions were not small in this team, and their backgrounds were complicated, so Du Xiuqi had some concerns about how to arrange them.

Lin Yu saw that his face was tired, "General Du didn't sleep last night? Pay more attention to your body."

Excitement appeared on Du Xiuqi's face, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"As for the ten people, each of them should be surrounded by safe people. The grandson of Qin Taishi will take care of the fire soldiers; the son of Tian Shangshu's family will take care of the horses; Know some medical skills, go to help the military doctor, the right minister, you say you can let Gu Jian see you?"

Lin Jue looked at him, Du Xiuqi was suffocated, exhaled, and said earnestly: "I think this son is quite interesting, maybe it suits His Highness."

Baxi who is eating dim sum outside the curtain: I guess she is a very unique beauty...

"Well, let's talk about his arrangement after seeing Gu." Lin Yu raised his teacup, "It's time for a nap here, go."

Du Xiuqi retreated as ordered, got out of the carriage, and nodded to Baxi to say goodbye.

Baxi saw that his back was tall and straight, but he couldn't help but give people a little surprise.
