Gu Huaiqing opened his eyes suspiciously, and found that the speaker was a middle-aged scholar with a goatee. He was wearing a Confucian shirt. It was winter, and he was holding a feather fan in his hand. Did he think he was Zhuge Kongming?

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "Who are you?"

The scribe said: "Student Liu Jing is a staff member of the Guerrilla General. He was ordered by the Major General to pay a visit to Mr. Gu."

Gu Huaiqing saw that he was speaking politely, exuding a sour air, and was still shaking a feather fan in his hand to put on airs, afraid that he might not know that he was a military adviser.

Gu Huaiqing didn't like to deal with such sour literati, and it was tiring to talk around the bush, so he asked directly: "The major general sent a gentleman here, why?"

"Master Gu is on an official business and passed through Jiayuguan. We should treat Mr. Gu well, but now that the war is in a hurry and we don't take good care of it, I hope you will forgive me. The major general learned that your lord is about to leave soon, and the special students prepared a A small gift, to express my heart."

As Liu Jing said, he took out an eight-treasure box and opened it with a copper key.

The inconspicuous box is full of jewels, such as thumb-thick pearl bracelets, a lotus statue of Avalokitesvara carved out of a single piece of jadeite, a horse made of pure gold...the jewels are so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.

If this is still called a thin gift, what else can be called a thick gift?Even Gu Huaiqing was used to seeing treasures in the palace, and he couldn't help being moved. It seems that the Hou family really has a good family background, and they can easily sell jewels worth tens of thousands of taels.

However, such an expensive gift is naturally unacceptable.Gu Huaiqing closed the box calmly, and said: "It is said that no meritorious deeds will not be rewarded, such an expensive gift, I am ashamed to accept it."

Liu Jing seemed to have expected that he would refuse, and said: "Master Duan has helped us defeat the enemy several times and made great contributions. We all regard him as one of our own. The major general said that Mr. Duan's friends are his friends. I hope you will never forget him." Don't be polite. When you go out, bring more money for emergencies, not to mention Mr. Gu going to the Western Regions alone, there are many places to spend money, this money is really nothing."

Gu Huaiqing frowned, seeming to understand a little bit, is it true that Liu Jing is here to issue the eviction order on behalf of Hou Yukun?Send him a pile of gold, silver and jewels, and send him away by the way.Hmph, do you think you are a beggar?

"I accept the major general's wishes, but I am not short of money. Please take back this box, so that people will not misunderstand that you are trying to bribe the court officials." Gu Huaiqing smiled coldly, and stood up slowly, "Besides , I am not going to the Western Regions alone."

Liu Jing snorted: "I forgot, sir, there is also a guard with strong martial arts, I believe he can take care of him well."

Gu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not talking about Xiao Hei. Brother Duan also agreed to go with me."

Liu Jing didn't seem to believe it, he laughed and said: "Your Excellency, you are joking, once this battle starts, it will not end in a day or two. Your Excellency Duan was ordered by the Son of Heaven to assist in the fight against the enemy. "

"That doesn't bother Mr. Liu." Gu Huaiqing said coldly.

Liu Jing did not argue, and bowed to Gu Huaiqing: "Your Excellency, don't make things difficult for your students. Although the Major General is young, he has always said what he said. He will definitely not take back what he sent out. No matter what, please accept it."

Without waiting for Gu Huaiqing to get mad, Liu Jing stuffed the box into his arms, and then slipped away with oil on his feet.Gu Huaiqing held the box like holding a hot potato, he neither wanted to accept it, nor could he just throw it away, it was really embarrassing.

Gu Huaiqing simply picked up the box, decided to take it back to the banquet, found Hou Yukun and threw it back to him.Taking a few filthy money, just want to exchange his elder brother Duan, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

The courtyard of the General's Mansion was huge, and the lights were dim. Gu Huaiqing was walking back with the heavy box in his arms, with his head down, suddenly someone came out.

Although Gu Huaiqing drank a few cups, he was still vigilant, he hurriedly took two steps away, and shouted: "Who is it?"

He saw a sergeant wearing a cloth scarf on his head and a purple flowered cloth waist armor standing in front of him. This man had gray temples and a vicissitudes of life. He looked quite old, and he stared blankly at Gu Huaiqing's face.

From his clothes, Gu Huaiqing judged that he was a sergeant of Hou's army, and smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, so he thought he was drunk, so he ignored him and wanted to go around him.

Unexpectedly, the old sergeant grabbed Gu Huaiqing's arm, his eyes were red, and he choked up, "Gu...General Gu...you finally... finally came back..."

As the old sergeant spoke, he burst into tears, crying very emotionally.Gu Huaiqing was surprised and forgot to struggle for a while.

The two were in a stalemate, when a bearded sergeant came behind him, pulled the old sergeant away, and persuaded him, "Old Jiang, why are you misrepresenting people again? How many times have I told you that General Gu is no longer here? Why don't you believe it?"

"You lied to me. Although I'm old, I'm still blind! It's General Gu, he's back, he's back!"

"Old Jiang, calm down!" The beard patted Old Jiang's face a few times, trying to wake him up.

"They lied to me, saying that General Gu has defected to the enemy. How is this possible? I, Old Jiang, wouldn't believe it even if I was beaten to death! They are farting! They are making rumors! They are all liars!" Sitting on the ground, he howled like a child.

"Okay, okay, you're right, they're the ones spreading rumors and farting! They're all liars!" The bearded man couldn't help it, so he had to touch Old Jiang's sleeping point to calm him down.

Gu Huaiqing looked at the drowsy Old Jiang, with his gray hair disheveled like grass, and his old face mottled with tears, for some reason, he felt a sense of sourness.

"What happened to him?" Gu Huaiqing couldn't help asking.

The bearded beard sighed: "Oh, it's a long story... I wonder if my lord has heard of Gu Yan, the great general of Longwei?"

Gu Huaiqing shook his head blankly.

The bearded beard said with emotion: "That's right, my lord is so young, so I have never heard of his name. General Gu Yan's reputation was well-known, and it was already 20 years ago. Back then, General Gu Yan used his military strategy and tactics Like a god, he is invincible in all battles. When the Tatars saw his handsome flag, they did not dare to resist and fled. Even Tatar children did not dare to cry at night when they heard his name. Under his fame, What Tatars and Wusun people, who dares to violate our border?"

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help asking: "Where is General Gu now?"

"No one knows, it's an unsolved mystery. There are many legends. Some people say that he fell in love with a Wusun woman and traveled to the Western Regions with her, but more people say that General Gu died long ago and is no longer alive... The bearded man sighed sadly, looking at the drowsy old Jiang with sympathy on his face, "Lao Jiang was a soldier who served under General Gu's command back then, and he was loyal to General Gu. He has always refused to accept that the general Sacrifice, insisting that the general will come back, every time he drank a few more glasses of wine and saw young soldiers with similar faces, he mistook others for General Gu, and made a lot of jokes. You see he is old For the sake of dizziness, don't worry about his rudeness."

Gu Huaiqing would not care about a drunk veteran, but seeing Lao Jiang crying so sadly, with such genuine feelings, made people feel moved.To have such a loyal subordinate, General Gu must be a legendary figure, what a pity...

Gu Huaiqing's footsteps were blocked by two veterans, and when he returned to the banquet venue, Hou Yukun was nowhere to be seen, and what was even more strange was that Duan Mingchen had also disappeared.

Gu Huaiqing grabbed Luo Qin, who was blushing from drinking, and asked, "Where did Brother Duan go?"

Luo Qin stuck his tongue out and stammered: "Big... big brother... and General Hou... left."

Gu Huaiqing asked: "Where did they go?"

Luo Qin smirked: "Where else...where else can I go? At least...the room of the major general!"

When Gu Huaiqing heard this, his eyebrows were going to stand up, and he rushed up full of anger!

What a good Hou Yukun, first he sent someone to give him jewelry, and tried to send him away with money, so as to monopolize Big Brother Duan, and now he abducted him into the room openly!

He was afraid that he was overthinking before, but now it seems that Hou Yukun is clearly harboring ill intentions towards Duan Mingchen, otherwise why would he rush him away with money?

Gu Huaiqing asked the direction of Qing Hou Yukun's room, rolled up his sleeves, rushed over to "catch the rape" in a hurry!

******

Let's talk about Duan Mingchen's side, ever since he came to the celebration banquet, he has been held back, and dozens of people took turns to compete with him for wine.Fortunately, his drinking capacity has been tested for a long time, so he was not forced down.

Duan Mingchen actually didn't want to drink, if he could choose, he would rather accompany Gu Huaiqing, but as the leader of the Jinyiwei, necessary entertainment is unavoidable, not to mention the brothers who came to fight side by side on the battlefield, years of life-threatening friendship, He was also embarrassed to evade, not giving others face.

However, he noticed that Luo Qin had invited Gu Huaiqing to Jin Yiwei's table. Thinking of Luo Qin and the others taking care of Gu Huaiqing, Duan Mingchen felt relieved and concentrated on dealing with these people.

Hou Yukun seemed very interested, and he drank happily with everyone. At first, he held the wine glass, then changed to a big bowl, and finally just poured the wine directly from the jar.

Seeing this, Duan Mingchen couldn't help reminding him: "The arrow wound on your back hasn't healed yet, don't drink so much!"

Hou Yukun's soldiers also came up to persuade him one after another, but Hou Yukun raised his head and smiled, opened another can of wine, hooked Duan Mingchen's shoulders, and said, "Brother, come, kill it, we agreed to drink ten altars! "

"Stop messing around, it's not too late to drink after you recover from your injury." Duan Mingchen frowned, and forcibly snatched the wine jar from his hand.

Unexpectedly, Hou Yukun refused to let go. When the two were entangled, Hou Yukun accidentally bumped into the tree trunk behind him, and just hit the wound on his back. The pain made him hiss, and his face turned pale.

Duan Mingchen took the opportunity to snatch his wine jar, and told the soldiers: "The young general drank too much, help him down to rest, and remember to apply medicine to his wound."

But Hou Yukun grabbed Duan Mingchen, and said relentlessly: "I don't want them to help me, and I don't want them to apply the medicine. Everyone is clumsy! Brother, can you help me apply the medicine?"

Duan Mingchen glanced back at Luo Qin's table, saw that Gu Huaiqing was not at the table, guessed that he might have gone to relieve himself, but Hou Yukun was so drunk that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but his whole body stuck to him like glue, tearing him apart. Can't tear it off.

Seeing this, the general next to him tried to persuade him: "Lord Duan, please send the major general back to his room, as long as he can still listen to what you say."

Duan Mingchen thought that Gu Huaiqing might have gone to relieve himself, and should not come back so soon, why not send Hou Yukun back to his room to rest first, and then come back to find Gu Huaiqing.

Duan Mingchen dragged and dragged Hou Yukun to his room with great difficulty and let him lie flat on the bed.

Hou Yukun dishonestly kicked the quilt, and hummed: "Brother...my back hurts..."

Seeing his appearance, Duan Mingchen sighed helplessly, and said, "Lie down and don't move around, I'll get you medicine."

Duan Mingchen rummaged through the drawer, found the medicine box, took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from it, turned around to look, and was stunned.

Hou Yukun didn't know when he took off his coat and inner clothes, got off the bed, and stood in front of him naked...
