The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Chapter 88 White Shadow

Back at Xumi Hall, Gu Xiangtan let others wait on him to wash and wash, and fell asleep, lying on the bed, he couldn't help replaying all the things that happened today in his mind.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Emperor Zongzheng's decision to let the imperial army return to the imperial court was the same as the purpose of recalling Hou Bingchen back then. The celebration of the great victory was just an excuse. What to do if you have a different heart, now that you have won the battle, there is a reason to keep Cao Qin in Beijing for a while, and it is best to think of a way to remove his military power, even if you can't get half of the military charms, you can put some of your own eyeliner It is also good to go in.

Gu Xiangtan thought about this, and suddenly opened his eyes.

The candles on the table were not extinguished, and the inner room was dark and gloomy. The windows were closed, and when I looked around, I was the only one there.

Gu Xiangtan listened attentively to the movement outside, and shouted: "Yanfang..."

On weekdays, there are always two people on duty in Gu Xiangtan's master bedroom in Xumi Hall, one is Yanfang and the other is Lianfeng.Of the many people sent by the empress that day, most of them were left behind by Gu Xiangtan. He usually doesn’t have much to say, and in his spare time he either recites the scriptures or chant the Buddha’s name. It’s rare for Yan Fang to wait outside for some orders. Even if these people want to report to the wall, they can't find too many opportunities. On the contrary, Xiao Luzi, a few years ago, Su Xi caught him in a wrong place and kicked him out, but Lianfeng stayed. Gu Xiangtan felt that He was quite responsible and capable, so he opened his eyes and closed his eyes. However, every time Lianfeng kept vigil, Yanfang still felt uneasy, and would come and circle around a few times from time to time. Gu Xiangtan occasionally called out, Yan Convenience would immediately step forward to respond, why is there no response now?

Gu Xiangtan sat up slowly, put on his robe and got off the bed, opened the door and walked out.

The outside of the courtyard is quiet and quiet, the bright moon in the sky reflects a cold white here, and there are occasional rustling sounds of leaves blown by the wind on all sides, other than that, like countless silent nights, there is no abnormal movement.

Gu Xiangtan stood on the spot and stared intently at the dark place in front of him where the moonlight could not shine. The night wind picked up his loose black hair and wove it into a hazy net in the air. Gu Xiangtan was in this hazy In the middle of the night, I vaguely saw a person walking towards me slowly under the moonlight.

The white shirt fluttered around, tall and tall, every step was like stepping on Gu Xiangtan's heart, gently approaching.

When he finally got close, Gu Xiangtan raised his head and watched the other party silently, and the other party was also looking at him. After a while, the man raised his hand and gently touched Gu Xiangtan's face.

Gu Xiangtan was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head and gently rubbed his cheek against his hand, and said with a smile: "I always miss you so much, so... I dreamed again."

The opponent's palm stopped, and the fingertips used some force to support Gu Xiangtan's face, clamping his chin so that the two looked at each other. After a while, Gu Xiangtan heard him say: "It's true... I said, I Will come back safely."

Gu Xiangtan froze for a moment, then slowly grabbed the hand covering his cheek, squeezed it, and then squeezed it again. Although the touch was cold, it was real, and it belonged to the temperature of the person in his memory.

Gu Xiangtan's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to call out.

"...Yuanqing?"

Zhao Yuan: "Yes."

Gu Xiangtan called again: "Yuanqing?"

"Ah."

"Yuanqing...Yuanqing..." Gu Xiangtan called again and again.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but raised her lips, and looked at the other party with a slight smile.

The next moment, the figure in front of him pounced and rushed straight into his arms. Zhao Yuan stood firm, and as soon as Gu Xiangtan bumped into him, he hugged the other person into his arms.

Gu Xiangtan buried his head deeply in Zhao Yuan's arms, and the swaying night wind brought a faint fragrance of hosta flowers from the other's sleeves. The familiar smell made people's eyes turn red.

Gu Xiangtan tightened his arms and tightly wrapped around Zhao Yuan's waist. Zhao Yuan allowed him to exert so much force that his whole body trembled slightly. After a while, he couldn't help but patted Gu Xiangtan's back, then lowered his head. Kissing his forehead soothingly.

Gu Xiangtan raised his head, and Zhao Yuan's kiss followed his brows all the way down, brushed his nose, and when it reached the corner of his lips, Gu Xiangtan heard his heart beating wildly uncontrollably, but Then Zhao Yuan's movements stopped, and she even pulled Gu Xiangtan's heart up high, swinging back and forth in the air, wanting to fall, but unwilling to do so.

At this distance, Zhao Yuan looked at Gu Xiangtan closely. In the past three years, Gu Xiangtan's stature has grown, and his eyebrows and eyes have become more agile. At this moment, the eyes looking at him almost melted into a pool of water, dancing again There are faint waves, the brows and eyes are full of longing, how can it be the elegant and noble spirit Buddha in front of outsiders.

At the same time, Gu Xiangtan was also looking at Zhao Yuan. The elegant young man who seemed to have walked out of a painting in the past, after a lot of tempering on the battlefield, his face has become more profound and refined, but what surpasses his appearance is the eyebrows The cold and stern look that couldn't be concealed, Zhao Yuan was originally a piece of cold and beautiful jade, but now, this piece of jade seemed to have been tempered into a sharp sword. The mole of tears on his face seemed to have turned into the bright red drop on the tip of the sword, which made people startled and moved when they looked at it.

But when facing Gu Xiangtan with such a flamboyant yet icy face, there is an indelible tenderness and nostalgia in his eyes.

Gu Xiangtan heard Zhao Yuan ask softly: "That day, when I left, do you still remember what you said?"

Gu Xiangtan returned to his senses in a daze, thought for a while, and asked back: "If I forget, will you pretend that you haven't heard of it?"

The tips of their noses almost touched, and the breath when they spoke lightly touched each other's face and lips, blending and lingering, making it inseparable.

Zhao Yuan's eyelashes moved slightly, but she didn't speak.

Gu Xiangtan knew in an instant that he was right. No matter what Yuan Qing became, he would always only think about himself. , is always the most important thing, other things don't matter, no matter how obvious Gu Xiangtan's intentions are, as long as it is not what he said personally, as long as it is not the result of careful consideration, Zhao Yuan can act as if he doesn't know anything, and just keeps going like this One person bears it all in silence.

For a moment, Gu Xiangtan only felt a turbulent wave in his heart. He knew the other party's thoughts well, but he was still shocked by Zhao Yuan's thoughts every time. Su Xi said that Gu Xiangtan had never lived for himself, but But he didn't know that there was a person who was as stupid as himself, no, more stupid than himself. Gu Xiangtan had to at least see the reward for doing something, whether it was good or evil, but this person never wanted anything, no matter what. Is it the previous life or this life.

Gu Xiangtan's nose felt sour, he tried his best to blink away the watery light in his eyes, looked into Zhao Yuan's eyes and said solemnly: "I remember... I remembered it before, and I will remember it in the future, even if one day, I go in front of the Buddha, Or meeting Lord Yan, I will never forget..."

Only halfway through the words, Zhao Yuan's lips finally fell down so unbearably, this time there was no more deviation, no more depression, but a dense, close-to-lip kiss.

Zhao Yuan's lips were still a little cold, but Gu Xiangtan was soft. Zhao Yuan couldn't help but toss and roll gently, from light to heavy, from shallow to deep.

Gu Xiangtan felt the heat and humidity protruding from between his lips, and shrank back in fear. No matter how much preparation he made in his heart, the greenness would be cleaner than white paper, but Zhao Yuan was rare and strong Not allowing him to retreat, he hugged Gu Xiangtan's waist, pressed him to himself, and pressed him even tighter.

After some entanglement, Zhao Yuan reluctantly raised her head, and saw Gu Xiangtan's lips were full of redness, her brows and eyes were moist, and she was looking at herself in a daze with unconcealable shyness. This expression made Zhao Yuan hold back She couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed his cheek again.

What you want in your life and get what you want is nothing more than that.

The two stayed tenderly like this for a while, and when Gu Xiangtan came back to his senses, he remembered to look around and asked, "Where's Yanfang?"

Zhao Yuan pulled him into the house together, closed the door and said, "I'll let him go back first."

"When did you arrive in the capital? Didn't General Cao say..."

"I came with his army."

Gu Xiangtan gave Zhao Yuan a white look: "Are you hiding it from me on purpose?"

Zhao Yuan raised her hand and gently scratched the end of Gu Xiangtan's eyes with her fingertips, and explained: "I still have some things to do, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble, so no one said anything about it."

Gu Xiangtan wanted to say, "Am I one of those?" But thinking about Zhao Yuan, he still couldn't resist searching for him in the middle of the night, and the slight blockage in his heart immediately dissipated.

He pulled Zhao Yuan's hand down, and saw that the palm, which was slightly wider than his own, was still white, but there were many thin calluses on the palm. It was made by practicing swords, and I'm afraid it was made by other hard work. Yes, you can see a lot of roughness when you touch it with your hands.

"Is Chen Zhou okay?"

"it is good."

In fact, what Gu Xiangtan wanted to ask the most was, are you okay in Chenzhou, but he knew Zhao Yuan's answer without opening his mouth.

Needless to say, the bitter cold in the borderlands, let’s take Cao Qin as an example. He could have completely ignored Emperor Zongzheng’s summons. Although he won a big victory, the Nanman was not defeated. But Cao Qin chose to come back. After many years, he returned to Beijing with so many soldiers from the Imperial Army. Even though Gu Xiangtan had never served in the army, he could understand Cao Qin's thoughts. He had nothing to do with it. , but he still has so many soldiers, so many people who accompany him through life and death without hesitation. To be able to return to his hometown alive one day and see those relatives is probably the greatest hope of every soldier. This is the reason why Cao Qin came back.

It's the same with Zhao Yuan. What kind of mood did he leave with, and what kind of thoughts did he have to get through these three years? Gu Xiangtan thinks about it every day and night, but fortunately, he abides by the rules of the day. Keeping his promise, he came back in good condition, back in front of himself, Gu Xiangtan had nothing to ask for.

The wick on the table lightly exploded a lantern. Gu Xiangtan picked it up with a bamboo stick, and said slowly: "The capital is also very good, have you visited Zhao Ze? Oh, yes, just now Are you teasing him? His current kung fu seems to be very good, and the master also praised him for his strength, so tomorrow you will compare..."

Gu Xiangtan's voice was low and slow, from Zhao Ze, to Xue Yiyang, and then to Fu Yalian and himself, telling what happened in the past three years one by one, detail and detail.

Zhao Yuan also listened carefully, and looked at Gu Xiangtan without blinking, until he said that he was tired, and slowly softened his body and leaned back into his arms, murmuring in a daze, until after a long while. There was no sound.

Zhao Yuan got up, carefully picked up the person and put him back on the bed.

"Yuanqing..."

Gu Xiangtan closed his eyes and let out another faint cry.

Zhao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, she agreed lightly, and lowered her head to place a gentle kiss on the corner of his lips.
