At night, the moonlight hangs high on the treetops, overlooking everything on the earth.On some branches, there are still some unknown fruits that have not been knocked down, swaying in the breeze.

The grass that was not considered lush on the ground has grown silently, and half of the houses, large and small, in the entire Qingzhou City have almost been repaired.Many houses in the city were dotted with many lights.

In the valley not far away, Shangguan Wan'er sat on a chair and looked at the food on the table, and at the curtain that hadn't been raised for a long time.The eyebrows were furrowed and never unfurled.

On weekdays, the sun did not set, and if there were no other arrangements, Gu Yanqing would return to the camp with the soldiers who repaired the embankment.Today the sky is full of twilight and I don't see her coming back.

Thinking back to the way back to the camp today, when she saw Li Shangru's eyes looking at her carriage from the window of the carriage, Shangguan Wan'er felt a little uneasy.

Sitting in the tent at this moment, I belatedly remembered that if he, a poor scholar with no background, had no means and connections, he would not be able to become a third-rank official in just three years.

Standing up suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er quickly walked out of the tent, Qing Zhu at the side watched the princess get up and leave suddenly, and then walked out without saying a word.As always, be a good shadow of the princess, and only show up when you need her.

As soon as she got out of the camp, Shangguan Wan'er saw the direction and hurried all the way, she turned a blind eye to the soldiers who bowed their heads to her along the way.

It didn't take long to come to a tent of soldiers. This is the tent where ordinary soldiers live. There are ten soldiers in one tent.The conditions are simple, and they are naturally not as spacious as the general's camp.Simply build a long shelf with wooden sticks, spread wooden boards, and then spread quilts to rest.

When she saw the place, Shangguan Wan'er pretended to be something in her heart, and before Qingzhu went in to inform them, she opened the curtain and walked in.

Seeing someone coming in, the soldier who was resting on the bed got up quickly and wanted to ask.Upon closer inspection, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess.One by one hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground with her upper body upright, and frowned slightly in embarrassment.She never knew that men sleep without clothes.It was her fault that she was so reckless.

"You guys came back from repairing the embankment today, but has anyone seen General Gu?" Seeing that they all lowered their heads, Shangguan Wan'er didn't ask them to get up to answer, she turned her back to them and spoke.

Listening to the princess's question, a soldier kneeling at the front recalled the situation when they came back and spoke. "Report to the princess, this subordinate has never seen the general before."

Seeing this, the other soldiers also replied: "No subordinates."

"No subordinates either"

"..."

Hearing that all the soldiers' answers were similar, Shangguan Wan'er became a little irritable.

The soldiers in this tent were basically sent to repair the embankment with the common people, and they were the ones I had seen the most on the embankment. If she hadn't been with them, where would she have gone?Shangguan Wan'er looked at the black tent in front of her, thinking deeply.

"Princess, princess, this subordinate knows where the general is." From a small corner in the innermost corner, a young voice suddenly sounded.

Upon hearing this voice, Shangguan Wan'er turned around subconsciously. The one who made the voice was a boy in the farthest corner, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.Kneeling on the ground, he looked up at her timidly.

Shangguan Wan'er knew this boy. His family was flooded, his house was gone, and he was alone. Later, Gu Yanqing saw how pitiful he was and asked him to join the army.

A native of Qingzhou with a handsome face, but I don't remember his name.Now build houses with other soldiers in the city.

Now the problem of rats and floods has been solved.Many not-so-serious shops have slowly opened their doors to welcome them.

Many young people who ran out before heard the news and came back again. After all, this is their hometown. Fallen leaves always return to their roots.Except for a few towns that are particularly serious.The repairs that should be repaired in other places, and the compensation that should be compensated are slowly on the right track.

Seeing his appearance of being afraid of herself, Shangguan Wan'er restrained her inner irritability, and said patiently: "Speak clearly."

Hearing the princess's words, the young man raised his bent waist a little, a little excited: "Today when I came back from the city with my brothers, I saw the general drinking with a man in a tavern in the city, and he seemed to have something on his mind. I called the general a few times..."

Seeing that he was about to open up the conversation, Shangguan Wan'er interrupted him impatiently.The key point of brevity was a little angry in the tone of "talking about that family".

“The third house on the east side of town”

Knowing the exact address, Shangguan Wan'er turned around and flicked her skirt.He opened the curtain and walked out.

Several people in the camp saw the princess suddenly come in and leave inexplicably, they looked at each other in blank dismay, puzzled.

As soon as she got out of the tent, Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes to calm down her restless heart.After a while, he said to the green candle behind him, "Ask someone to prepare a carriage and go to the city..." After a pause, he said, "Give that child some money."

"It's the princess." Qing Zhu bowed her head expressionlessly and answered yes, then turned her head and made arrangements.

Shangguan Wan'er stood where she was and looked at Qingzhu's back, then at the twilight in the sky, and walked towards the gate of Daying without saying a word.

When she knew that Gu Yanqing was drinking in a tavern, she undoubtedly felt complicated and helpless.Sure enough, what he said today still hurt her.

In Shangguan Wan'er's memory, she didn't like drinking, she only saw Gu Yanqing drink twice.Once when they got married, and once when they celebrated their triumphant return, she lost her temper with herself...

Sudden……

Thinking of someone's appearance after drinking, Shangguan Wan'er's expression was a little stiff, and her brows frowned even tighter.You have to hurry her up, or else you won't be able to sleep tonight.Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er walking faster.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was in a hurry, walked quickly.He was thinking about how to deal with Gu Yanqing who was drinking for a while.Suddenly there was a "boom" sound in front of something landing on the ground.It startled Shangguan Wan'er who was thinking wildly.

Seeing a black shadow suddenly appearing on the ground not far away, Shangguan Wan'er tightened her fingers hidden in her cuffs, and looked around the camp, but no one came out, and it happened that there were no patrolling soldiers passing by at this moment.

By coincidence, Shangguan Wan'er didn't call for someone to come over.He just swallowed his saliva, and boldly looked at the muttering group not far away, his whole body was stiff and a little scared.Feel the cold swishing behind.She hated how the dark made her feel.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly regretted not leaving with Qingzhu.Now leave yourself all alone here.She sighed in her heart and didn't know where the patrolling soldiers who had been dangling in front of her had gone.

After waiting for a while, no one was seen, Shangguan Wan'er bravely stood there and watched for a long time, feeling that there was no danger, so she settled down and finally walked forward slowly.For some reason, she felt that this indistinct voice was very familiar to her.

Shangguan Wan'er felt as if she had walked for a long time in just a dozen or so steps.

Cold sweat broke out from the back.

As soon as she got closer, a faint voice clearly entered Shangguan Wan'er's ears, "Princess, Wan'er...why, why...".

Hearing that voice suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er froze for a moment, then walked quickly to the dark figure and looked down from a height.

It really was her, Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment, the heart that had been tugged all this time slowly fell down.

As soon as she got close, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol. The disgusting smell made her almost dare not approach.Shangguan Wan'er took a few steps back, and with the help of the torches around the camp, she could see clearly the unconscious people on the ground.

Seeing no one around, Shangguan Wan'er secretly thanked herself for not yelling loudly, walked two steps forward silently, knelt down and yelled softly several times, but she didn't respond, there was no way Shangguan Wan'er thought about it and planned to help her go back.

But it's a pity that she has been delicate and expensive since she was a child, and she has been served by others since she was a child and has never done heavy work. She tried several times and couldn't help her.

After a few rounds, they staggered, and the two fell to the ground again. Shangguan Wan'er watched as she was accidentally scratched by a stone on the ground.Then he looked at the still unconscious person behind him.The anger in my heart rose slowly.

This person pretended to be pitiful in front of him today, as if he had been wronged.I have blamed myself for a long time.In the blink of an eye, he went to drink behind her back.Those who drink are unconscious and drunk.

The more she thought about it, the more exasperated she became, Shangguan Wan'er stretched out her hand and squeezed her injured wrist.He stood up with a bang.

Taking two steps forward on his own, he stopped, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and fell back resignedly.

Looking at the person who fell on the ground, I suddenly felt sad for some reason.

"Princess?" The patrolling soldier, who hadn't appeared all this time, looked at the walking princess in front of her and asked softly.

"It's okay, you, you continue to patrol." Looking at the patrolling soldiers not far in front, Shangguan Wan'er's expression was a little unnatural, and she took two steps back, blocking Gu Yanqing who fell on the ground and was unconscious.

"Princess, behind you is..." A sharp-eyed soldier immediately noticed something was wrong, and asked with some doubts as he looked at the shadow behind Shangguan Wan'er.

Not wanting to be discovered by them, Shangguan Wan'er immediately calmed down and spoke in her usual cold tone. "I said it's okay, it's okay, you continue to inspect"

Another soldier saw that her face was not right, and his eyes flashed suspiciously, "General Gu said, don't let us give up all suspicious people."

"Why doesn't what Bengong said count against you?"

Seeing the princess was a bit embarrassed, several people looked at each other, recalling the last time they helped the princess to deceive General Gu, and were fined by the general for three months of military pay.Several people exchanged eyes from left to right and said firmly, "...please don't embarrass your subordinates, princess"

Shangguan Wan'er, who had been troubled by Gu Yanqing's status for the past few days, looked at them as if she wanted to rush forward to check.She still has lingering fears, for fear that they will find out her identity when they get close.Frowning, she said loudly, "If something happens, I will bear it all. If it's done, you can retreat..."

It's a pity that it was already a step too late, the sharp-eyed soldier recognized him by the light of the fire before he finished speaking.

"General Gu? Big brother...it's General Gu." There was an unconcealable excitement in his tone.

He had just finished speaking and the other people looked at the princess inexplicably, then ran over a few steps, squatted on the ground and softly shouted: "General Gu? General, wake up!"

"Brother, why do I feel that General Gu is drunk?" After shouting for a long time, but there was no movement, a small soldier came back to his senses, and looked at an older man next to him with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"I look like it too, I don't know how much General Gu has drunk because of the smell of alcohol all over his body." He said, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at the silent Shangguan Wan'er.

Looking at the few people who kept talking around Gu Yanqing, he could hear from their tone that they were no less nervous and concerned than himself.Shangguan Wan'er smiled suddenly, and quietly let go of the fingers hidden in her cuffs, it was she who treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

I remember when she just came back from the battlefield, when the two of them had nothing to do, she would always mention her days in the barracks on the battlefield intentionally or unintentionally.He liked the men who gave their lives to him on the battlefield.

According to her words, they are life and death brothers who can leave their backs to each other.The life-threatening friendship is even worse than brothers.

"Since you have seen it! Then send your General Gu back to his tent." Shangguan Wan'er looked at them, pretending to be understated.The fast beating heart in her heart couldn't hide her nervousness.

Several soldiers looked at the general lying on the ground, and then at Her Royal Highness standing aside.They exchanged glances and said in unison. "yes"

After speaking, a soldier who was stronger than the others squatted down, and the others hurriedly helped Gu Yanqing onto his back.Quickly ran to the direction of the tent.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the few people who had almost disappeared into the night.He froze for a moment, shook his head and followed quickly without saying anything.

……

When they arrived at the tent, they hurriedly put Gu Yanqing on the bed again.They all stood aside and stopped talking.

Shangguan Wan'er, who came here in a hurry, was a little puzzled when she saw a row of neatly arranged tents as soon as she entered the tent. "What are you still doing here? Are you not patrolling?"

Seeing the princess coming in, several people looked over in unison. Shangguan Wan'er was stared at like this, and the anger welled up in her chest. He scolded, "Bold! How dare you stare at me like this."

Seeing that the princess was angry, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee with fists folded. "Princess, although we shouldn't care about the affairs between you and the general. But we have seen the general being unhappy these few days. Although the general looks young, he has a lot of skills. We all admire him. Although we are a bit strict, we are not like other generals who don't treat us as human beings. No matter how the general sees us, we have already regarded him as our own brother, so I ask the princess not to disappoint our general.

"That's right, the Princess and Master Li went out that day, and it was also our brothers who told me the secret."

"That Li Shangru looks like a good skin, but what he does is not a human thing. None of the brothers in our camp has ever served him."

"Yeah, if it wasn't for General Gu's orders, none of our other brothers would listen to him..."

Shangguan Wan'er listened to what they were expressing overtly and secretly.He looked at someone who was still awake on the bed with some embarrassment.Looking at the few people kneeling in front of him to show their loyalty, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

It's just a pity.The one who should have heard.At this moment, he was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, not knowing anything.
