Square inch by Kyushu

Luo Qiuli was sitting in the report hall of the hidden guard, laughing loudly.Suddenly, he was summoned to the barracks by a summons from Li Muge.

He swayed into the main account with ease, and he was still reminiscing about the scene of his master surrounded by vomit, when he was surprised to see that Qingyu, Shui Furong and others were also in the account?

how?What kind of big move is this going to take?Why doesn't he know?

As soon as the three people met each other, they quickly exchanged glances with each other, all expressing confusion.

Luo Qiuli thoughtfully stood at the top of the list of officials and generals, and saw that everyone was complaining softly to each other about this urgent order.As the "Master Prime Minister" who is under one person and above ten thousand people, although he is full of complaints in his heart, he said dog-leggedly: King Xi's summoning is so urgent this time, there must be something important to discuss, everyone calls Get up the spirit and so on.The Minister of the Ministry of War at the side echoed with a smile on his face, and the two sang and sang, which calmed down many people's grievances.

Qingyu on the side looked at Luo Qiuli's "flattering face", and blushed with embarrassment.And Shui Furong simply rolled her eyes and sneered while leaning aside.Why!This uniform is ugly as hell.

At this time, Li Muge walked into the tent in a golden armor, and everyone immediately knelt down and saluted when they saw him, sweeping away the looseness just now.

Qingyu's face turned even redder: Hey!It turns out that Luo Qiuli is not the only one who is "two-faced", all these officials are the same.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Luo Qiuli, wanting to see how this person dutifully played the role of a "dogleg" prime minister to the end.But unexpectedly saw that he knelt down on the ground half a beat slower than all the officials.

Qingyu was puzzled, so she followed his gaze, but was surprised to see Gu Yanxi lift the curtain and enter at this moment.

Could this... be today's "big move"?

Li Muge glanced at Luo Qiuli calmly, and walked to the top with Gu Yanxi behind him.

After everyone got up, he introduced straight to the point: "This is Gu An, and he will serve as a military adviser in every war in the future. You will all be colleagues in the future."

So An took a step forward and smiled politely at everyone as a greeting.

The generals and ministers who were waiting for his opening remarks such as "please take care of me in the future" and "please forgive me for any inconsiderateness" couldn't help looking at each other when they saw this, and said in their hearts: this new military adviser is too unreasonable, right?Or are you too proud to be favored?

But when they faced Gu Yanxi's eyes, all the anger and dissatisfaction seemed to be extinguished by the boundless moonlight in an instant, leaving only a moment of astonishment.

Some people are born with a kind of shocking magic.

Li Muge actually didn't like people staring at Gu Yanxi non-stop, so he lightly coughed twice to draw everyone's attention, and then he opened his mouth and went straight to the point.

Shui Furong looked at Gu Yanxi's indifferent and quiet face with interest, then touched her own face, shaking her head secretly and sighing.Qingyu also shook his head, but his gaze was on Luo Qiuli.

At this time, Luo Qiuli was completely different from the usual smiling Yanyan, with a calm face and thoughtful eyes.

It was already past time after the whole meeting was over, and everyone was exhausted, but fortunately, the result has been discussed.

At this time, everyone hadn't eaten yet, so someone suggested to go to the Baoyan Tower to sacrifice to the Wuzang Temple.Of course, this dinner is an invitation to the new colleagues.

Gu Yanxi shook his head without interest, turned around and left with a calm expression. The official who invited him thought that his "enthusiasm" should be a good sale to this "airborne officer", but he didn't expect that he would touch it. He had a bad nose, and made the colleagues around him laugh at him, and he couldn't help feeling jealous.

Just as everyone walked out of the barracks one after another, they saw Gu Yanxi boarding the imperial chariot of Li Muge, King Xi, and couldn't help but secretly laughed at the colleague who had a bad nose just now - no wonder the military adviser didn't accept your dinner?It turned out that there was a royal banquet invitation.

As a result, everyone's speculations about Gu Yanxi's origin were even more divided.

In fact, not only Gu Yanxi and Li Muge were sitting in the driving car, but also Luo Qiuli.

At this moment, he stared at Gu Yanxi closely, and said seriously, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Yanxi glanced at Li Muge, saying that the answer was not with him.He wouldn't help Li Muge block this way for no reason.

After all, Luo Qiuli was still in awe of Li Muge, and the tone of his question had softened a lot when he turned around: "Master, I thought you had agreed to entrust this person to my care."

Li Muge was obviously not in a good mood, so he didn't explain patiently to him as usual, but simply said: "Qiu Li, this moment, that moment."

Luo Qiuli snorted coldly, and said, "Then your great career is also at this moment or at that moment?"

Li Muge put down the car curtain, turned his head and said, "Prime Minister, pay attention to your words." There was a hint of oppression in his tone.

"I am loyal, why should I pay attention?" He suddenly pulled Gu Yanxi away, and said loudly to Li Muge: "It's not that you don't know who he is? It's not that you don't know how loyal he is to his Xiangguo? It's not that I don’t know that he is proficient in various Gu techniques? It’s not that I don’t know that his unrivaled martial arts has not disappeared? It’s not that I don’t know that he caused your country to be ruined and your family destroyed and displaced? It’s not that I don’t know that you treat him..." The following words Blocked by his remaining rationality, Luo Qiuli had never been so angry with Li Muge, but today he must have been too angry to speak to him like this.

"In order to speed up the process, I can understand that you need to use him, but if you bring such a person into our military core, aren't you afraid of breeding tigers?"

Li Muge did not answer.Instead, he pulled Gu Yanxi's hand away from his collar, looked at Luo Qiuli coldly, and said, "So what? Qiuli, you don't believe me?"

This sentence left Luo Qiuli speechless!Of course he believed in him without reservation, except for the matter of "Gu Yanxi"!

"You should get out of the car." Li Muge waved his hand and stopped looking at him.

Luo Qiuli stared at him blankly, looked at him in disbelief, and then jumped out of the carriage before the carriage stopped.He never felt for a moment that he was so redundant.

Gu Yanxi looked at Luo Qiuli's back, and said objectively: "You shouldn't hurt the heart of your right-hand man when you employ someone."

Li Muge said confidently: "A right-hand man shouldn't have doubts about his master's ability. Now is the time for employing people, and this kind of trouble must be completely eliminated."

There was something in Gu Yanxi's words: "He is the right-hand man, but how can he be the right-hand man? If you care about it, you will be chaotic."

He took him into his arms and said with a light smile, "Then is there a time when you are in trouble if you care about it?"

Gu Yanxi froze all over, instinctively wanted to struggle and finally chose to give up all resistance.

"No, because I never had a heart."

He remembered that on the day when the Southern Qin capital fell, he searched for his traces in the raging fire, afraid that he would appear among the bones everywhere, and even more afraid that he would turn into a pile of scorched earth by the roadside.But he forgot that as the crown prince, he must be guarding the King of South Qin, so he arrived at the main hall one step late, and that's why he failed to save him.

Is this called caring and chaos?

Li Muge felt the stiffness of the person in his arms, so he didn't make any further movements.He turned his head out of the car window and said lightly: "In my eyes, you have always cared about Ji's family and Dongxiang."

Gu Yanxi turned her face to the other side and remained silent.

His arms wrapped around him not too far away, the distance and temperature were just right, and he really didn't want to destroy it.

Along the way, the sound of horseshoes was tapping someone's mind.

After a while, the carriage drove to the palace, and the eunuch's unique shrill welcome sounded outside the carriage.

Gu Yanxi and Li Muge tacitly kept away from each other, and stepped out of the carriage one after the other.

Li Fu, the chief eunuch, was taken aback when he saw Gu Yanxi, but he didn't show anything on his face.The servant who has achieved his position has long understood that in the palace, any curiosity is superfluous.

But he still couldn't help looking at Gu Yanxi twice more, because it was really hard for anyone to look away from such a magnificent person.

Although he is only wearing an ordinary cloth at the moment, and his hair is simply and casually rolled up, but as long as this person stands here, even if he looks at the beauty of the world, he has to surrender to him again.

"Li Muge, why do you care about pulling me into the palace?" Gu Yanxi got out of the car and looked around, then asked directly, ignoring the surprise hidden in the eyes of the servants who were kneeling on the ground.

"It's nothing to worry about, I just want to have a light meal with you." Li Muge raised the corners of his lips casually, showing the expression of inviting an old friend to have a light meal.

After hearing this, Gu Yanxi looked away from his face, passed by his side, and walked straight forward.

This action of his immediately tensed up the nerves of all the people around him. They all carefully lowered their heads and raised their eyes, observing their master's expression in fear.

Fortunately, his master still looked as usual, and followed the man with a face of indifference, which made the eunuchs and servants feel at ease instantly, and at the same time couldn't help but be greatly surprised——this man who suddenly appeared beside King Xi What is the origin of the man?

Not long after Gu Yanxi walked, he saw a palace standing majestically in front of him.

At this time, Li Muge, who was always following behind him, came to him and looked at the palace and said, "Are you telling me that you are already familiar with the structure of King Xi's palace?"

Gu Yanxi shook her head: "No, I'm just reminding you that maybe I have more control over many things than you expected."

Li Muge bent his eyes and smiled indifferently, took his shoulders and walked into the hall: "At least this matter is still expected!"

The hall is brightly lit, and the table is full of delicious food and wine.

Li Muge sat at the top, while Gu Yanxi consciously sat at the side of the bottom.

At this time, silk and bamboo sounded, and two rows of graceful court maids greeted them one after another. Holding a jade pot in their bare hands, they poured a cup of fine wine and brought it to Gu Yanxi. .

Li Muge caressed the beautiful girl in his arms with a half-smile, and asked leisurely: "Yan Xi, how does this kind of battle compare to when you were calling the wind and rain in your homeland?"

Gu Yanxi sat at the table, enjoying the "intimate service" of the beauty beside her, and replied lightly: "There is no difference."

The answer of "there is no difference" is just right, neither leaning towards Xianguo nor praising Yuxi.

Hearing this, Li Muge raised his glass calmly and said, "I don't know if the glass of wine you and I drink is also 'the same?'"

Gu Yanxi also picked up a glass of wine, and touched him from the air: "At least, the wine is different..." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Li Muge quietly watched the ups and downs of the wine flowing across his throat, knowing that there was no need to say the rest, so after drinking this glass, the feast should be over.

"Li Fu, take my lord to the side hall to rest." The sound of the wine glass falling on the table coincided with his voice, it turned out that they couldn't even finish a table of meals now.

"I think I'd better go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Gu Yanxi stood up and bluntly rejected her monarch's arrangement, which made Li Fu, the manager, break into a cold sweat instantly.Not only him, but even Gong'e, who was serving the wine beside him, shook her hand and dropped the jug to the ground.

This cracking sound made the tense string in everyone's heart snap into two pieces with a "snap".

But Li Muge didn't have Longyan's furious expression, he still had that half-smile, half-smile, careless expression.

"I want Qiuli to be alone, and you can live here temporarily today." His reason was so legitimate that the other party had absolutely no reason to refuse.

Sure enough, Gu Yanxi nodded and compromised: "That's good. I just happen to be tired too."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without leaving, without any etiquette that a courtier should have.

Li Fu hurriedly followed and followed.At this moment, one head and two heads are already in my heart: Where did their master invite such a "big Buddha"?

However, King Xi obviously treated this "Great Buddha" very differently, and he had to take care of it from now on.

Li Fu didn't take Gu Yanxi for a long time before arriving in front of another palace.

Gu Yanxi already knew the location of each palace in this palace, so it is not so much that he followed Li Fu along the way, but that Li Fu cooperated with his footsteps.

But when he saw the three big characters "Guangbo Palace" on the top of his head, he still couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

Time flew backwards, returning to South Qin many years ago.

That night, the golden wind was not cold, and the laurel was fragrant.

The moonlight melts.

He wrapped his arms around his shoulders, raised his chin slightly, and his eyes were full of starlight: "Yan Xi, what do you think of where I live?"

He nodded and said: "The luxury is not less majestic."

He proudly said: "Of course there is no one in the palace of the crown prince of Southern Qin."

Hearing this, he didn't speak, but just looked up at the place where this man lived since he was a child, and there was a bit of expectation and a little bit of regret in his heart.

Seeing that his expression was different, he immediately explained in a hurry: "Yanxi, I didn't mean to show off to you. I... just thought that you were in a foreign land and had no fixed place to live, and I wanted you to settle down here... Home."

Family?

For some reason, after hearing this word from his mouth, Gu Yanxi's heart was filled with warmth and a little numb pain.

At this time, he turned his eyes to him, seeing the always elegant and calm Huangfu Guangbo incoherently speaking at a loss, a warm smile could not help but stop his panic in an instant, but also stopped him. Sight.

Patting the other party's shoulder comfortingly, he smiled and said, "Guangbo, I'm not angry. Here...it's very good..."

After hearing this, Huangfu Guangbo immediately turned from worry to joy, just like a child, his happiness and anger were clear at a glance.

Later, when night fell, he would come on the moon and became a frequent visitor to this "Guangbo Palace".

Sometimes, they played chess with candles, sometimes they sang songs to the moon, and sometimes, they drank and got drunk at night, and when they woke up in the morning, they lay on the ground and smiled with the morning light.

It was the best time of his life.

At that time, Huangfu Guangbo was sleeping next to him, and he would feel his heart skip a beat, and this beat seemed to hide some unspeakable secrets.

Li Fu, the eunuch next to him, saw that Gu Yanxi suddenly stood still with a dull expression, so he called out cautiously: "My lord, my lord..."

It was only when the fourth sound was called that Gu Yanxi's spirit was pulled back from the memory.So he continued with a smile: "So, my lord, it's time to go to the palace to rest."

Gu Yanxi calmly restrained her mind, nodded, and strode into the palace.

All the furnishings in the house were exactly the same as those in the Southern Qin Dynasty. Looking at these familiar objects, he really didn't know how to feel and what expression to put on.

Even more confused about Li Muge's real purpose?

Did he let him live in such an "ancient past" to remind him of his betrayal?Or is it to awaken the guilt in his heart?

Or, did he simply want to live here, deluding himself back in time?

But no matter what the reason is, it will be a mutual torture in the end.

With a wave of his hand, he turned his left and right screens back around, and lay on the bed numbly, dazed, momentarily distraught.Looking back on all the recent events, I can't help but feel exhausted physically and mentally.

With his eyes closed, countless nightmares surged, dragging him deeper and deeper into the endless hell, beyond redemption.

While he was drowsy, a warm and powerful hand suddenly appeared, pulling him out of the abyss, and pulling him into a warmer embrace.

He didn't know whose embrace it was, he only felt that the temperature of this embrace was so familiar and reassuring.Like the last bit of light and heat, love and sincerity in his life.

Li Muge looked at Gu Yanxi with her eyes closed tightly with a tender face, and shrank a little into his arms, like a clingy kitten—although she was aloof by nature, she had no hesitation towards her master.

Maybe in this life only drugs can make him sleep peacefully, make him like this to himself.Only by relying on drugs can he and he finally have the chance to embrace each other.

He stretched out his fingers as before, gently smoothing the wrinkles between his brows, again and again, taking away his worries.

Night, is a good night.

People are good people.

Fate, but not a good fate...
