The Eight Winds of Rebirth

In the Xumi Hall, the sunlight shone lightly on Gu Xiangtan's peaceful sleeping face, and the chirping birdsong sounded from time to time outside the window. Gu Xiangtan moved, and slowly opened his eyes. Looking down, he saw The long arms resting on his waist paused slightly, then turned his head, and met a pair of exquisite eyebrows and eyes, which were usually full of all kinds of indifference and aloofness, but at this moment, there was only a deep love in front of him. .

I don't know when the other party woke up, Gu Xiangtan was a little palpitated by the staring eyes, and couldn't help avoiding it, but he couldn't help turning his gaze back for a while, and smiled at the person in front of him.

Gu Xiangtan always smiles when he meets everyone, but Zhao Yuan can see clearly how much of it is genuine and how much is fake. He likes Gu Xiangtan the way he curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, and turned his eyes when he was mischievous when he was a child. There is a clever and sly smile, and there is another kind of smile at the moment, with crooked eyebrows and puffed cheeks. There is no compassion, no insight into the world, just because Gu Xiangtan is happy.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, she leaned over and kissed the tip of Gu Xiangtan's nose, then kissed his lips.

Gu Xiangtan wanted to hide, but was embraced by Zhao Yuan and kissed deeply, her lips and tongue were entwined, at first it was just a taste, but gradually, Zhao Yuan seemed to be a little emotional, and wrapped her arms around Gu Xiangtan's waist The tighter it was, the heavier the breath became, and the temperature of the whole body rose.

Gu Xiangtan noticed Zhao Yuan's change, was startled, and couldn't help pushing Zhao Yuan's shoulder.

Zhao Yuan also seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and kissed hard for a while before finally separating from Gu Xiangtan, only holding him like this to slowly calm down the urge that came up just now.

Gu Xiangtan felt Zhao Yuan's scorching breath brushing against his ears, his face was bloodshot, he turned his head to the side and waited for a while before carefully asking, "You... don't you need to go out today?"

Zhao Yuan squinted her eyes, and her breath had gradually calmed down. He let go of Gu Xiangtan and got off the bed, saying, "Let's go in a while."

Gu Xiangtan put one hand under the pillow, silently watching Zhao Yuan's back.

This man has grown taller again, with a slender and thin line from his shoulders to his back waist. However, if he is considered to be a military general, he seems a bit thin, not to mention how amazing his ice-carved and jade-carved face would be in the army. It's abrupt, but Gu Xiangtan also knows how unstoppable Zhao Yuan is on the battlefield. He is a swan soaring in the sky, and he shouldn't be a sparrow under the eaves as he had hoped at the beginning.

Gu Xiangtan sighed, got up and put on his clothes, sat in front of the bronze mirror and took a wooden comb to comb his hair. Zhao Yuan was here, so Gu Xiangtan didn't want to pass Su Xi and An Yin in.

"Is General Yuguo coming soon?" Zhao Yuan followed the fourth elder brother into the city. For the past two days, he left in the middle of the night or early in the morning, and he still didn't leave today. Dili Palace probably needs Cao Qin to help.

Sure enough, Gu Xiangtan made a good guess, and Zhao Yuan said "Yes".

"I heard that Miss Mei has always been thinking about your fourth brother. Counting the age, General Cao should have a family and start a career. Otherwise, the second lady of the Mei family would not be able to get married. This delay will delay the two."

Gu Xiangtan smiled and glanced at Zhao Yuan, put down the comb, and picked up the scissors on the table.

Zhao Yuan raised her eyebrows, wondering why the fourth brother made him unhappy, walked over in three or two steps, pulled out the tangled hair from Gu Xiangtan's hand, and threw the scissors aside, He knelt down and untied his messy hair slowly.

Gu Xiangtan looked at Zhao Yuan's careful expression in front of him, put away the smile that was not a smile, and fell forward, resting his forehead on his shoulder.

Zhao Yuan heard him sigh, and said softly, "I don't like that Miss Mei Er."

Zhao Yuan turned her face to the side and looked at Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan frowned, his eyes were black and bright, and black and white were distinct, clearly reflecting his own face: "Alas... greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred are all unacceptable, and I violated another commandment."

Zhao Yuan stroked the smooth and silky black hair in her hand, pinned it behind Gu Xiangtan's ear, leaned down slightly and asked softly, "Who is Miss Mei Er?"

Gu Xiangtan was startled, and then puffed up his face and deliberately "hummed", but the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing his inner complacency.

Looking at that expression, Zhao Yuan felt as if her chest was being scratched by a cat. Seeing Gu Xiangtan's snow-white earlobe in front of her, she turned her head and pressed her lips on it, along the pinna all the way down, lingering on the back of her neck. .

Gu Xiangtan shuddered with gratitude at the warm touch of those lips, and couldn't help shrinking his neck, but let Zhao Yuan hug him from behind and tease him wantonly.

It was rare for the two of them to be tender, when there was a light knock on the door outside, followed by the sound of a rest.

"...My lord, General Cao is here."

……

After waiting for a while, Cao Qin was not in a hurry when he was brought into the side hall by An Yin, his face was still cheerful, when he saw Zhao Yuan, he first raised his eyebrows, then looked at Gu Xiangtan, and smiled evilly , He lifted his robe and sat at the table.

"It's too early to wake up." Cao Qin poured himself a cup of tea without waiting for anyone to greet him.

Zhao Yuan remained silent, but Gu Xiangtan felt a moment of embarrassment on his face, then smiled and said, "It's no match for General Cao."

Cao Qin paused for a moment, then laughed heartily again: "Sixth brother must have accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life, in exchange for today's blessing."

Zhao Yuan's face remained calm, but the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She turned her head to look at Gu Xiangtan, but she was a little stunned to see him holding a spoon. Zhao Yuan couldn't help touching the edge of his bowl, seeing that the temperature was right, not cold. It's hot, so I'm relieved.

At this time An Yin walked into the room and handed Gu Xiangtan a letter.

Gu Xiangtan recovered and took it, looking at the opened letter, he glanced at Cao Qin faintly.

Cao Qin spread his hands: "It was boring to wait just now, so I read it for you. Don't be surprised by Lingfo."

Gu Xiangtan pursed his lips, since he didn't really care about it, he looked at ten lines at a glance.

Seeing his complexion move slightly, Zhao Yuan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

The letter came from Dong County, Niu Dazhu and the others sent it, "The superior said that Luotang County suffered a landslide last month, and many Habayashi soldiers were buried alive."

The flood started from Dong County, and the epidemic also spread from there. In terms of disasters, Dong County is naturally the top priority. Only Zhao Dian's Habayashi army remained in the county.But Zhao Dian was afraid that people would spy on his waist and abdomen, so he would not let the people sent by Emperor Zongzheng enter, and now he would not let the monks help. No matter how powerful the Habayashi Army is, it is not iron-clad after all, and the people can still leave. However, they can only bite the bullet and defend, if the time is long, who can bear it, once the Habayashi army can't wait any longer and waits for an opportunity, the situation is bound to be in jeopardy.

Cao Qin brought back 15 imperial troops to the capital, leaving most of them still outside the border, and the Imperial Army in Beijing has a total of [-] troops, at least half of them obey the orders of the Three Kings. Estimates, coupled with the fact that the opponent is obviously more familiar with the situation in Beijing and China, and deployed their defenses early, Cao Qin, Zhao Yuan and others have to be careful even though they have experienced many battles.

And even if we try our best to protect the capital, Dong County still has 30 soldiers from the Three Kings. Although we can dispatch troops from Chenzhou and Luzhou, the journey is far away. Going south, so many people will surely scare the snake, isn't it to give the three kings a chance to strike first, although this day will come sooner or later, it is still much earlier than Gu Xiangtan expected.

The forces of the Three Kings have been intertwined in Daye for many years. Even in the last life, he had spent a lot of effort in eradicating Zhao Dian, but General Hou Shenwu had left early at that time, and most of the military power fell into the hands of Emperor Zongzheng. Under Gu Xiangtan's instigation, the Shenwu Army and the Habayashi Army naturally fought hard, and in the end they both ended up hurting, and he was the one who benefited from the fisherman.Looking at this moment again, natural disasters have been in the past, man-made disasters have continued, and when Daye is recuperating, if there is another civil war right now, there will be a mass of life under the wounded muscles and bones. Thinking of the scene of dead and wounded blood flowing like rivers at that time, Gu Xiangtan I just feel unbearable to look back.

Zhao Yuan noticed the change in Gu Xiangtan's expression, so she couldn't help but gently held his hand under the table, and intertwined with Gu Xiangtan's fingers.

It was rare for Cao Qin to put away the teasing look on his face, but his brows were still unrestrained: "If he wants to come, if he wants to come, he will surround him with ten, attack him with five, divide him if he is twice as many, and fight against the enemy."

These words are quite fearless. No matter if we have many enemies and few enemies, or if the enemy is few and we are many, or whether the two armies are evenly matched, there is always a strategy to deal with it. Anyway, no matter what, the three kings cannot easily succeed. .

"Double is divided..." Gu Xiangtan muttered Cao Qin's words, his eyebrows and eyes moved suddenly, "I thought of a way, I don't know if it's feasible..."

-

After breakfast, Zhao Yuan changed into a set of white shirts, dressed up as an attendant beside General Yu Guo, and went out with Cao Qin. Gu Xiangtan didn't ask them where they were going, and took a sedan chair to Fu Yalian Some things have been decided here, and I still need to communicate with the master, but after thinking about it, Gu Xiangtan only talked about the plan discussed with Cao Qin. As for Zhao Yuan, he has come back and comes to Sumi every night. Gu Xiangtan hesitated for a long time to meet him, but he still didn't tell his master. Even though Gu Xiangtan made a decision about Zhao Yuan, he felt ashamed...

Stopped by the mansion for lunch before returning to the palace, sitting swaying in the sedan chair, it was pinellia in early June, even the air was full of intoxicating laziness, Gu Xiangtan closed his eyes slightly and was about to fall asleep, but Hearing An Yin calling herself softly twice outside.

Gu Xiangtan lifted the curtain, An Yin leaned over and whispered, "Master, isn't that Mr. Meng?"

Gu Xiangtan looked along, and sure enough, he saw Meng Su standing there far away, his back stiffened, and he poked towards the mighty vermilion lacquered door, like a thin pen holder, which was particularly abrupt and eye-catching.

An Yin sighed: "Although it's not yet summer, the sun is strong enough, and I don't know how long Master Meng has been standing."

Gu Xiangtan looked at the wet clothes on Meng Su's back, and then quietly touched the wide palace plaque hanging above his head - Chengfeng Palace.

Gu Xiangtan said: "Get off the sedan chair."

Meng Su stayed on the spot without saying a word, staring at the eunuchs in front of the East Palace, and suddenly heard the movement behind him, and then the servants in front of them all changed their expressions and surrounded them with a clamor.

Meng Su turned around, and saw Gu Xiangtan being helped out of the sedan chair by An Yin, and walked towards him regardless of the greetings from both sides. Interjected, it was obviously a dark tone, but when it was worn on his body, with the clear eyebrows, it was indescribably elegant, almost like a person walking out of the clouds.

Before Meng Su could speak, Gu Xiangtan laughed, "Master Meng also came to ask to see the crown prince?"

Meng Su bowed his hands to Gu Xiangtan, as a salute, and then said: "That's right, but His Royal Highness is still taking a nap, so Meng Su has to wait here." Her voice was dry and hoarse, and it was extremely difficult to listen.

Gu Xiangtan suddenly said: "The prince is very leisurely."

As soon as these words were said, the slaves on both sides immediately sweated profusely, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Ling, Lingfo, Your Highness spent the whole night dealing with government affairs yesterday, and only fell asleep early in the morning. It was only a short nap just now. You must be awake now, and you must be awake now. Don't blame Lingfo!"

Gu Xiangtan waved his sleeves, motioned the little eunuchs to get up, and then looked at Meng Su: "Since that's the case, Mr. Meng has something important to do, so let's go together?"

Meng Su wiped the hot sweat off his head, nodded, and followed Gu Xiangtan straight into Chengfeng Palace.
