Duan Mingchen said: "Three years ago, there was turmoil in the northern part of the Great Wall. The Tatars repeatedly invaded, burned, killed, looted, and were cruel. The Tatars all fought cavalry, with flexible tactics, mainly sneak attacks, and came and went quickly. The position of being passively beaten, especially the Tatar general Monta, who is extremely brave, is a serious problem. General Hou asked to send someone with high martial arts skills to help out. The late emperor found Commander Liu, and Commander Liu appointed me to lead the battle. A group of Jinyiwei masters went to Saibei to help defeat the enemy.

My brothers and I were in Saibei. After many investigations, we found that the Tatars were not invulnerable, so we provoked the conflict between the Tatar Khan and the general Monta, and resorted to estrangement, so that the Khan feared Monta, reduced his military power, and at the same time provoked Monta, making him think that the Khan was going to kill him, forced Monta to lead his troops to rebel.The Tatars fought among themselves and killed each other. In the end, although the Khan defeated the Monta rebels with difficulty, his vitality was also seriously injured. General Hou took the opportunity to attack and defeated the Tatars. and.

Because of my meritorious deeds in defeating the enemy, Old General Hou submitted a letter to ask for a seal for me, and the late emperor promoted me from a thousand households to a fourth-rank commander.

During this period, two Koryo wars broke out. Dongying invaded Koryo, and Daqi sent troops to help. I was sent to Liaodong to be in charge of front-line investigation of the enemy's situation and espionage work. Cooperating with Daqi's elite division, I repelled the Dongying people twice.

Until the beginning of spring this year, His Majesty promoted me to be a commander and recalled me to the capital from the north of the Great Wall.

That's my experience, nothing special.In fact, every Jinyiwei is almost like this. They are sharp knives in the hands of the court, obeying the emperor and serving the people.I'm just luckier than others, and my official career is smoother than others..."

Gu Huaiqing rested his chin and listened, but fell into deep thought...

Duan Mingchen's experience, just looking at each promotion is indeed reasonable, but looking at it together, it is unavoidable to make people sigh, either he is too capable, or he is too lucky, or a combination of both.

From the small flag of the seventh-rank Jinyiwei to the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei, there was a full eight-level gap, and he only took five short years.

It is true that Duan Mingchen is both wise and courageous, and has made great contributions no matter in Saibei or Liaodong. Although he said it lightly, the hardships and dangers involved must be unimaginable.

He was only 25 years old and took the second position in Jinyiwei. According to Liu Chong's reliance on him, he was obviously trained as a successor, and Liu Chong was almost 50 years old, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it for a few years. That is to say, Duan Mingchen may become the head of Jinyiwei in his 30s!

This is simply... a flying speed!

Seeing Gu Huaiqing's dull expression and wandering eyes, Duan Mingchen couldn't help but reached out and touched his face, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you today? It's strange to come back from the palace, and you suddenly asked me the bottom line, there must be some reason." ?”

Gu Huaiqing suddenly came back to his senses, stared at Duan Mingchen, and Duan Mingchen thought his face was blooming, and he just asked: "Brother, tell me honestly, are you related to the royal family? "

Duan Mingchen shook his head and said: "My father passed away when I was a baby, and the three generations of the Duan family were ordinary military generals. Although my grandfather's family is a scholarly family, it is not a noble family, and it has nothing to do with the royal family. The first half of the relationship."

"That's weird..." Gu Huaiqing frowned.

He remembered the rumors about Jinyiwei. At the beginning of its establishment, Jinyiwei was called the Pro-Army Duwei Mansion, which was established by Emperor Taizu to strengthen the centralized rule.Jin Yiwei only obeys the emperor's orders. It is the sword in the emperor's hands, and the real royal army.

The commander of Jinyiwei has always been served by the emperor's most trusted generals, and usually comes from the royal family.This is not difficult to understand, because Jin Yiwei is directly under the emperor's order, equivalent to the emperor's confidant, and many orders executed are extremely secretive, and its leader must be one of his own, so the emperor can rest assured.

Countless commanders of Jinyiwei since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, none of them have a royal family background.Take Liu Chong as an example, don't look at Liu Chong as a rough person, his mother is Princess Longde, the eldest sister of the first emperor, strictly counting seniority, Xiao Jing should call him cousin.

Duan Mingchen flicked Gu Huaiqing's forehead with his fingers, and said with a smile: "What the hell is going on in your little head? In my opinion, a man standing in the world should rely on his true ability and rely on his family background. Glory for a while. Princes and generals, would you rather have kindness? To say something disrespectful, there are also unworthy children of the royal blood, and as long as the poor family are willing to work hard, there will be no shortage of people who will become generals and become prime ministers."

Looking at Duan Mingchen's resolute and confident eyes, Gu Huaiqing felt his heart swell hotly. Duan Mingchen's pride infected him, and Gu Huaiqing laughed: "Brother is right, I was thinking too much."

Gu Huaiqing has experienced ups and downs since he was a child. He was imprisoned by his family when he was young, and he also experienced hardships in the palace. He is competitive, has high self-esteem, and refuses to admit defeat, but there is inevitably an extreme side in his character.

Before meeting Duan Mingchen, although he could not be called a villain, he couldn't be called upright and kind either.And Duan Mingchen attracted him precisely because of his integrity and his ability to distinguish right from wrong.This man has a mountain-like indestructible belief in eliminating evil and promoting good, and supporting justice.This has a fatal attraction for Gu Huaiqing, who has been in the oppressed palace for a long time and is used to seeing all kinds of darkness, and attracts him like a moth to a flame, approaching him desperately.After gradually approaching, he was also influenced by Duan Mingchen, and the kind and bright side of his natural character was inspired.

Xiao Jing's words may have other meanings, but Xiao Jing is unwilling to say it, and Gu Huaiqing has no way of guessing.But no matter what, Duan Mingchen is the person I like and trust, a brother, a confidant, and a lover. I like him as a person. As for his status and official position, what does it matter?

Isn't it just a month apart?It's no big deal, between a man and a man, is it necessary to get tired of being together every day like a woman, in order to have a deep relationship?

After Gu Huaiqing figured this out, he relaxed.Parting is imminent, so it is natural to cherish the time they spend together.

Gu Huaiqing took the initiative to lead Duan Mingchen into his bedroom.

Gu Huaiqing's bedroom is not big, and the decorations are mostly elegant and warm colors.A piece of soft white tiger skin without a trace of stray hair was placed on the back of the window.

This white tiger skin was obtained by Duan Mingchen when he was hunting. White tigers are rare in the first place, and they are so complete. At that time, someone took a fancy to them and offered to buy them with a thousand taels of silver. However, Duan Mingchen declined, and turned around and gave it to Gu Huaiqing.

Gu Huaiqing couldn't put it down, and when he had nothing to do, he would just sit on the soft bed covered with white tiger skin, read idle books, and take a nap. Even tiger girls fell in love with this fluffy tiger skin mat, always Relying on it and refusing to come down.

Gu Huaiqing and Duan Mingchen sat side by side on the soft couch. After a busy day, Gu Huaiqing had a full meal. Leaning on the soft couch, he felt drowsy and couldn't help yawning twice.

Duan Mingchen was secretly looking forward to it, but when he saw Gu Huaiqing's lazy cat-like appearance, he couldn't help pinching his cheek, and said with a light smile, "You can't go to bed immediately after eating, it's not good for digestion."

Gu Huaiqing hummed, and honestly rested his head on Duan Mingchen's lap, raised his eyelids, and glanced at him lazily: "I'm tired, brother, please play a song for me."

"But I don't have a flute with me."

"I have." Gu Huaiqing put his hand into the drawer under the slump, groped a few times, and pulled out a jade flute.

Duan Mingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, he had already prepared it, he took the jade flute that Gu Huaiqing handed over, and looked at it carefully.

That flute is much more delicate than the one he used. It is green in color and warm to the touch. It is carved from high-quality Hetian jade. Judging from the delicate and exquisite workmanship, it should be made by a famous master.

Seeing Duan Mingchen playing with the flute over and over again, Gu Huaiqing asked proudly, "How about this flute? Do you like it?"

"Not bad." Not only is it not bad, if this flute is placed on the market, it may be a treasure that is hard to find.

"If you like it, I will give it to you."

It was the first time for Gu Huaiqing to prepare a gift for someone else. He specially selected it carefully from hundreds of flutes. It was obviously a gift that had been carefully selected for a long time, but he didn't want Duan Mingchen to know, and he made a casual appearance when he sent it out.

Duan Mingchen held the jade flute into his palm, the warm and slightly cool texture reminded him of Gu Huaiqing's skin, it was so smooth and cool, it was hard to put it down.

"It's the first time Huaiqing gave me a gift, I like it very much." Duan Mingchen bent down, and pressed a feather-like kiss on Gu Huaiqing's forehead, "What song does Qingqing want to hear?"

"up to you."

Duan Mingchen smiled and lowered his eyebrows, the flute was on his lips, and when he began to play, the tune was lingering and charming, magnificent and pathetic, it was "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

Gu Huaiqing half-closed his eyes, and was a little sleepy at first, but it subsided because of the affectionate music, and instead indulged in the beautiful rhythm.

After the song was over, Gu Huaiqing was still not satisfied, Duan Mingchen asked again: "What else do you want to hear from me?"

"Why don't you... have an eighteen touch?" Gu Huaiqing joked.

"Eighteen touches?" Duan Mingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, put his big hand on Gu Huaiqing's chest, and rubbed it vigorously a few times, "Is it like this?"

"Oh, you're playing a hooligan!" Gu Huaiqing struggled, but unfortunately lost the opportunity because of carelessness, and fell into a passive position everywhere.

Duan Mingchen is tall and strong, and Gu Huaiqing is really no match for him if he is purely fighting for strength.Duan Mingchen clasped Gu Huaiqing's wrist, pressed him down on the soft bed, and rubbed his body lightly and frivolously with the other hand.

Gu Huaiqing's body was itchy and soft from being touched, his face was flushed, and he gasped and protested: "Stop it... I won't listen... I won't listen to Shiba touch!"

"Aren't you a real man with a handle? A real man has to keep his word, how can he go back on his word? Since you said you want eighteen touches, brother will naturally satisfy you." Duan Mingchen suppressed him, and loosened his hands with flexible hands. The belt was inserted from the bottom of the shirt, sticking to his scorching skin...
