The Eight Winds of Rebirth

The night was quiet, the moon was white and the wind was clear, two carriages hurried past among the Jiuqu rice fields, Su Xi and An Yin were sitting in the front one, and Gu Xiangtan and Zhao Yuan were behind them.

What Gu Xiangtan said before finally changed Zhao Yuan's mind. He looked gentle and modest, but no one knew Gu Xiangtan's temper better than Zhao Yuan. From childhood to adulthood, as long as he really made a decision Things must be done, and every effort must be made to do it. If you don’t do it now, you will do it in the future. No one can stop it. Zhao Yuan agreed, and Gu Xiangtan ran around under his nose. Xiangtan ran around where he couldn't see, and the result was no different.

What choice did Zhao Yuan have.

In the clear night, with a bright moon in the sky, Gu Xiangtan half leaned against the wall of the car, silently watching the stars in the distance, with a slight smile on his lips, squinting his eyes, already half asleep look like.

"What letter did you write to the Three Kings in imitation of Si Gong's handwriting?" Gu Xiangtan asked quietly.

Zhao Yuan stared at him intently, seeing Gu Xiangtan's head bouncing on the window sill, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pull him over.

Gu Xiangtan was pulled softly by him and leaned into Zhao Yuan's arms. He was indeed tired. In order to wait for this person to have already passed the rest time, he was too lazy to move when he fell down at this moment. Ren Zhao Yuan Surrounding yourself, resting your head on the other person's chest.

After Zhao Yuan adjusted Gu Xiangtan to a comfortable sleeping position, she brought a thin quilt to cover him, and then replied, "Tell him about the battle last month." It was Nanman Tong Shenwu The battle where the army and the imperial army were defeated, but naturally they used the tone of the southern barbarians.

Gu Xiangtan's half-closed eyelashes flickered, and he slowly opened his eyes, facing Zhao Yuan's gaze.

Zhao Yuan's appearance is very good, when Zhao Ze was still a little bit similar to him when he was a child, but after a few years, Zhao Ze looked more and more like a great prince, and even more like Cao Qin's handsome and heroic appearance, but Zhao Yuan did not. He still completely inherited the appearance of the great princess. Although at first glance he would be overwhelmed by the coldness all over his body, but if you look closely, you can see that the jade-white face, the eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are all exquisite, and it seems to be the most beautiful. The fine brush strokes are drawn out with one stroke, one breath, and one breath is concentrated, and one mistake will be inferior.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan lowered her head, her eyelashes covered two thick shadows under her eyes, the curve from the tip of her nose to her chin was so delicate that even Gu Xiangtan couldn't help but think about what kind of allure the princess must have been when she was young. Even Mei Jianxi, who is now well-known all over the world, would be hard to come by.

Gu Xiangtan couldn't get distracted, and when his forehead felt cold, he realized that Zhao Yuan's fingers were caressing his hairline, and thinking of what the other party said, he couldn't help but startled.

After the defeat of the Nanman people, the news spread throughout Daye immediately, and the people all over the world talked about it, so do you need to write a special letter to tell the three kings?I also know that there must be something deep in it.

Gu Xiangtan paused, but still opened his mouth: "So what is this letter asking for?"

Zhao Yuan stroked Gu Xiangtan's smooth forehead hair, looked into his eyes and knew what he meant, but since Gu Xiangtan asked, Zhao Yuan had no reason not to answer.

So he said slowly: "Borrow troops from him."

……

This journey took about ten days, which was different from the itinerary when they returned to Luli that day. The mood of the two of them was tense but also slightly relaxed. The heart is intimacy without barriers, and Gu Xiangtan's hope in this life is Zhao Yuan's peace and tranquility, but later he discovered that the plain-yellow dog is the grass head running around, and the jade-clawed goshawk should be more. Flying in the sky, Zhao Yuan is an eagle, ferocious and lonely, he is willing to hover in one place for himself, but he shouldn't really use bait to trap him in place.

In this way, if one day, I really can't be by his side, at least, Zhao Yuan still holds the world he earned himself.

There were still displaced refugees along the way. Gu Xiangtan brought a lot of dry food and medicine, and distributed them as he walked. After passing Bufang and then Mosong, after another hundred miles, a team of eight people came to join them After the rendezvous, there were Mou Fei and Bi Fu who had not come to the capital together before.

After walking for a few more days, Dong County was in front of her. After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Yuan did not let Gu Xiangtan go with her. It was her limit to be able to accompany her to this place.

The two stood at the gate of the city and said goodbye. Gu Xiangtan glanced at the team of troops waiting not far away. Although they were dressed in ordinary uniforms, they were all capable and strong, with lightning-like eyes. Gu Xiangtan relaxed for a while, and asked Zhao Yuan again.

"The last time we discussed with General Cao, do you have an idea?"

But Zhao Yuan said: "It's already on the road."

Gu Xiangtan paused for a moment, then laughed. He flicked his sleeves lightly, and the light gray plain robe brought out an elegant flow of wind. Comparing with the young figure, he had a kind of calm and lofty demeanor.

Zhao Yuan looked at Gu Xiangtan again, Gu Xiangtan was also looking at him, and then said: "Go early and come back early, I will wait here."

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, and then understood what Gu Xiangtan meant.

He was here, so he had no choice but to come back safely and bring him back to the capital.

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's be each other."

He, Gu Xiangtan, had to wait for Zhao Yuan to pick him up, and if Zhao Yuan came back, he would also see a intact Gu Xiangtan.

When Gu Xiangtan nodded, Zhao Yuan got on her horse, led a cavalry of elite soldiers, rode the horse and raised the whip, and rushed to Dong County.

Gu Xiangtan stood where he was, watching him gradually go away, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, then turned around briskly, and entered the city.

The name of this place is Jiwan, and it is a small town nine hundred miles away from Dongxian County. Although there is a distance, the climate is similar to Dongxian County. The explosion broke out not far from here, but because of the dominance of the Habayashi Army, many people tried their best to escape from Dong County, but they couldn't go far, and they were forced to live here one by one, lingering on their last days.

When Ji Wan arrived in the area of ​​Bufang, it became the city of great disasters.

Gu Xiangtan remembered that there was a flood in Dongxian County in the previous life, but it was not as raging, otherwise he would not have waited for the epidemic to spread before realizing something was wrong. Lingfo's ability to know the future is based on what he saw and heard in his previous life Gu Xiangtan also thought about whether this disaster was caused by him taking it lightly. If he had noticed it earlier, he could have avoided such a scene of mourning. , Gu Xiangtan suddenly figured it out, new life, new changes... This is the test given to him by God and Buddha.

The gate of the city has long been unguarded. Gu Xiangtan and his entourage passed the main street, but there was no one there. All the shops along the street were closed, and there were occasional figures at the corners, but they were also in ragged clothes and hurried away. avoided.

"My lord, look." An Yin suddenly pointed to a corner of a dilapidated tile eaves, where a dusty mass was struggling faintly.

As soon as Gu Xiangtan's heart moved, he wanted to go forward, but was blocked by Yan Fang's hand.

"Young master, go down."

Gu Xiangtan shook his head: "It's nothing, in this situation, even the wild wolf is probably half dead." After finishing speaking, he ignored the obstruction and went straight to the thing.

Gu Xiangtan didn't hesitate at all, before Yanfang opened his mouth, he knelt down and removed the gray cloth covering it himself, and when the contents inside were revealed, everyone couldn't help but startled.

"Rest, bring water." Gu Xiangtan hurriedly said.

Su Xi turned his head and took out the kettle from the carriage, handed it over and said, "Master, this..."

Gu Xiangtan knew what he was going to say, but he was afraid that the other party would be sick, so he gave Su Xi a rare and severe look, and immediately silenced the little attendant.

I saw that the child covered under the gray cloth was a child about seven or eight years old. His body was rickety and thin. He did not know how long he had been lying on the ground. He was so thin that he was sunken and his lips were chapped. If his hands and feet didn't twitch from time to time, he would almost think he was dead.

An Yin supported the child's head, and Gu Xiangtan clumsily fed water, but the child only drank a little, and most of it slipped down the corner of his lips.

Gu Xiangtan tried twice, threw the kettle to Su Xi suddenly, got up and said with a cold face: "Take this child with me, and follow me into Ji Wan's mansion!"

A few people walked along the main street all the way to the end, Ji Wan is not big, and the county government office of the prefect of Ji Wan is not far away, and within a few steps, they saw the courtyard of the high-ranking and wealthy family, if it was just like the dilapidated and dilapidated places around here, it would be fine. The gates of this county government office, Biwa, are closed, and there are two tall and burly servants standing outside the door, holding long knives, with a look on their faces that "whoever dares to come forward will let you walk around." .

But when he saw a party that appeared suddenly, the two yamen servants wanted to chase them away without saying a word. Gu Xiangtan frowned, and before he could speak, Yan Fang already understood. The useless things were put down.

Then he kicked the gate of the government office open, and let Su Xi shout loudly: "Where is Ji Wanzhi's mansion?!"

Gu Xiangtan seldom gets angry, no matter in the past or present, except for the matter of Zhao Yuan, except for the matter of Yu Guogong's family, Gu Xiangtan's mood is still very stable, Buddhism and Taoism nourish the heart, so even now, look When the arrogant and cursing magistrate rushed out with a group of thug-like government servants, Gu Xiangtan's face was still faint, and the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth all year round disappeared.

The magistrate is a white and fat old man who knows the destiny. When he saw a white-clothed boy appearing inexplicably in front of his courtyard, he was stunned by the other party's aura at first, and then asked loudly: "Where are you little thieves from? How dare you break into the magistrate's yamen and live?" Tired of it... um!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Fang kicked up the stones on the side of the road with a tiptoe, and ran straight for the magistrate's head. There was a sound of "dong", and the stone hit the bone, making a big noise.

Seeing the magistrate falling down with his head covered in mourning, Gu Xiangtan didn't even look at the dogs on both sides who were eager to step forward, and said coolly: "Jia Changtao, a Jinshi in the third year of Zongzheng, came to Beijing to be Zhao Dian's diner. Years later, I was elected to be the prefect of Ji Wan, I don’t care whether you are an official who was admitted or bought, Daye sealed your official position, is it because you want you to behave like this in front of the people!”

Mrs. Jia, who had been thrown out of his old background, held his head in shock, and heard that Gu Xiangtan had called the Three Kings by his name, and couldn't help but be shocked: "You, who are you?"
