King Yu personally led [-] cavalry from Gaokezhai, and at the same time ordered Xiao cavalry general Wei Ju to set off from Beiliao County to restrain the barbarians from Dongliao Wangting.

After a rapid march of [-] miles, the wolf cavalry found the barbarian king's court of Xiliao on the edge of the desert, and immediately took over the barbarian's lair.

The king of Xiliao ate barbecue and sang songs in the king's tent. He thought that no matter how long the sword of King Yu was, he would not be able to cut deep into the desert. After breaking out of the siege, they were chased and killed by a small school under King Yu for hundreds of miles until they ran into the Guyan Mountain where their ancestors were buried.

Although he ran away, he dropped a dozen little kings and concubines like ducks laying eggs along the way, and Shao Yunlang escorted them all the way back to Qiushui Pass.

Cui Ning was too happy to get rid of such a great achievement of the Xiliao royal court. When Shao Yunlang rushed back to Qiushui Pass, he had already drawn up the battle report. When Shao Yunlang came back, he immediately took it? Here? Shao Yunlang took a look.

Shao Yunlang still had his armor on, and his cuffs were still stained with barbarian blood. He pinched the piece of paper and looked at it, then turned his head to look at Cui Ning, who was really happy.

Gu Heng said that Cui Ning was a pure minister, not involved in party disputes, and only wanted to do something for Dazhao, but he was such a person, but he was excluded in the court and had no choice but to come to this bitter cold place.

He sighed, and had to pour cold water on Mr. Cui, "My lord is going back to Beijing this time. Your Majesty and the crown prince are quite afraid of this king, and they almost sent me to marry him. Does Mr. Cui know?"

Cui Ning was dumbfounded, and even thought he heard it wrong, "Send your highness to marry? Where will you send him?"

"Barbarians." Shao Yunlang smiled, "So look, Master Cui, they're so afraid of me that they don't hesitate to make foolish moves, so handing over this battle report will only make them more suspicious, not ? Reward the three armies."

Cui Ning said, "Then...do you still hand it over?"

"Hand over." Shao Yunlang handed the battle report back to Cui Ning, "but only [-]% of the livestock and other seized materials will be reported, and we will keep the remaining [-]% for ourselves."

Isn't this the first time Shao Yunlang has done this, Cui Ning said cautiously: "In the past, [-]% was deducted, and [-]% was reported... Now it's going to be the other way around?"

He was vaguely aware of Shao Yunlang's intentions, and his mouth was dry with shock. He knew that he was responsible for supervising the army and should report to the court in time the changes in Ming Qiushui Pass, but he remembered Shao Yunlang's words just now.

It's ridiculous, the king of a country wants to hand the knife into the hands of the enemy!

In a daze, he heard Shao Yunlang speak again.

"Suspicion has arisen in the court. If you think about it, the military salary this autumn may be deducted. If you think about it, you may repeat the mistakes of five years ago." Shao Yunlang gave him a deep look. , "I don't want any more soldiers in the army to starve to death. It's not just my selfishness to keep this [-]%. Lord Cui thinks about it. Well, I'm going to remove the armor first."

Cui Ning left the conference hall in a daze, and the thin page in his hand seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties.

King Yu's words "selfishness", he really? Really? He heard it in his ears, and there was only horror left in his heart: he really dared to admit it!

Is it? Treat him as your confidant?Or? Testing his position?

Cui Ning was in a state of confusion. He knew that if he still reported the truth, King Yu would not kill him for the sake of his teacher Gu Heng, but he would never trust him again.

Under the city tower, the bonfire was burning. Those half-grown young men ate meat and danced around the roast sheep, drinking the fine wine seized from the barbarians. Everyone's face was "fearless and fresh".

The recruits five years ago have grown into veterans, beaming with joy and telling the recruits about digging grass roots and eating leather shoes when they were starving, and those who didn't make it through that year.

The pain of the past has faded and turned into a joke in the aroma of wine and meat.

"Take over from the lord? Qiushuiguan, we have never lost a battle, and we have never been hungry!" The veteran drank the wine in his glass, turned around and saw Cui Ning, raised his hand and greeted: "Lord Cui, do you eat meat?" ? Eh? What's wrong with you?"

Cui Ning was stunned for a while, then he rejected the man's invitation, but turned around and stepped firmly.

After he left, the old soldier drove away a group of recruits who joined in the fun, trotted all the way to Qin Jingrong's residence, and entered the courtyard after the briefing.

Shao Yunlang and Qin Jingrong were standing by the sand table to deduce and discuss, the man lowered his voice when he saw this, "My lord, your order has been completed."

Shao Yunlang nodded, "Go and receive the reward."

The man left happily.

Seeing this, Qin Jingrong smiled and said, "Using this kind of trick to lure Cui Ning into submission is not like your method, taught by A Yuan?"

"How did he teach it?" Shao Yunlang said with a smile, "It's just...sometimes...Think about it, if...he would...how to deal with this matter, then he can come up with an answer."

"Oh, I have a good heart..." Qin Jingrong threw away the small flag on her hand, and snorted, "Stop playing, you two have changed your way of getting bored with me all day long."

Shao Yunlang saw that she was a little sleepy early in the morning, but he was stubborn and refused to rest. Seeing that she had found the steps by herself, he hurriedly helped her back to the house, and asked as he walked, "Isn't the imperial court? They said that the Tianyun River area should Is it divided into two counties? The people are going to be relocated to farm? And a defensive fortress needs to be built. Who will be sent by Yongjing to take charge of this matter?"

"It is said that it is the new? The new? The minister of the household department, I don't know who it is? Whoever took office? The unlucky guy who was transferred outside, but I heard from Gu Heng that this person is extremely cunning and very good at manipulating people's hearts, and is also good at poaching walls. It's hard to get rid of, it's hard to guarantee that you won't? I found out that your 1 horses..."

A trace of chill seeped out of Shao Yunlang's eyes, he chuckled and said, "If you are a law-abiding person, you can save me a lot of trouble. If you are not a law-abiding person, then I can only try to teach him to be a law-abiding person." gone."

……

Summer in the southwest comes later than in the hinterland of the Central Plains. At the end of August, all the wild flowers on the grasslands are in full bloom. From time to time, young birds that are just learning to fly flutter across the grassland with their immature wings.

Shao Yunlang lay on the hillside with a root of grass in his mouth, repeatedly reading the letter in his hand.

This is still? Gu Yuanzheng's reply letter to him two months ago.

It was not easy for the two of them to communicate once, because they were afraid that the carrier pigeon would be intercepted by someone with a heart, so they always used someone they could trust to deliver the letter.

But no matter how long it takes, there should be a reply in these two months. Why did you wait for so long?

Could it be? Something went wrong...

"My lord!!" The guard rode his horse and shouted from a distance, but he didn't dare to go any further, for fear of stepping on his patriarch's son, "My lord! The Minister of the Household Department has arrived!"

Shao Yunlang sat up straight, threw away the straw in his mouth, and said with a snort: "This king? Let's see, this Minister of the Ministry of Households can make Gu Xiang comment like this, isn't it? He has three heads and six arms?!"

He put his fingers to his lips and whistled. A horse with a mane like fire came running from the river. The horses under the personal guard became frightened and uneasy.

It ran up to Shao Yunlang, bowed its head obediently, Shao Yunlang stroked it twice, pulled the reins and turned onto the horse.

"Let's go, let's go meet? Meet? This very capable Shang Shu-sama!"

Shao Yunlang has already made up his mind to give it to this person, and let him know whose territory this Qiushuiguan is. Of course it won't? It's difficult to do more.

He revealed this meaning to the people at the bottom early in the morning, and even sent the most stunned recruits to meet the Shangshu, so when he saw a group of people surrounding the carriage at the gate of the city, he was not moved. ? To what surprise.

"You said you are? Shangshu, you are? Ah..." A young man put his arm on the shoulder of another young man, stood crookedly, and his tone was even more rascal, "Master still said that I am the prime minister?" !"

"That's it? That's it? What do you use to prove that you are? Hubu Shangshu..."

"Why don't you wait any longer and wait for the prince to come back before entering the city."

This group of brats vividly staged a scene of "little devils are difficult to deal with", each of them looked so cheap that Shao Yunlang wanted to slap them on the back of the head.

He was about to nod his head in satisfaction when the boy who was driving the cart was stripped of his wind-shielding hood, revealing a baby face that was about to cry.

"You guys! My lord has given it to you? You have read the document, and you are still messing around here. Let me tell you, my lord and the prince are on good terms! See if the prince comes back and doesn't punish you!"

Shao Yunlang felt that this child looked somewhat familiar...

Where have you seen it?

"Being close to the prince?" Xiao Bing thought to himself, if you...really?

"Really?" A chuckle floated out of the carriage, and a slender hand brushed aside the curtain with the water-blue wreath hanging, and the people in the carriage only showed a little chin, and he said again: "Coincidentally, I and He is also a lifelong friendship."

Shao Yunlang: ...

He remembered who this child is? Who is it!Isn't it the boy who is the gatekeeper at Gu Yuanzheng's house? !

Seeing what the brat was going to say again, Shao Yunlang rode over in a hurry, and slapped each of them on the back of the head. "What are you doing all around? Get out!"

"Oh--! Your lord? No? You let us..."

"Cough, when did this king ask you to do this kind of business? Blocking doors?!" Shao Yunlang blinked vigorously, "Okay, Master Shangshu, this king personally welcomes you in! Let's leave first!"

"what?"

The bewildered onlookers had no choice but to obey orders and walk away. Someone turned around in confusion, and saw King Yu jump off his horse and get into the carriage.

Uh, he really doesn't want to say it, but the way the prince is yelling is really like a disciple.

……

Shao Yunlang ordered the boy to drive directly into the city, and then he put down the curtain, and turned to look at the dusty Gu Yuanzheng. Seeing his face? Although a little tired, he was in good spirits, so he felt relieved.

"It turns out that the newly appointed Minister of the Household Department is? You..." Shao Yunlang raised his forehead and said, "It's no wonder what Gu Xiang said, he's cunning and poaching... I thought there was a difficult character to deal with. "

"My dad said that?" Gu Yuanzheng laughed, "He's probably still angry? I'll send the steward to your house."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Shao Yunlang lifted the curtain, pointed outside and said, "Look, how has this Qiushui Pass changed compared to before?"

His hand holding the curtain? Gu Yuanzheng held it gently and pulled it back. When the curtain fell, the slightly hypothermic thumb was still rubbing against his wrist. Gu Yuanzheng leaned over and kissed his lips. .

"Let's see how you have changed first? Did you add a new injury?"

"Really? Not this time." Shao Yunlang smiled lowly and bit Gu Yuanzheng's lower lip lightly, then brushed the shallow tooth marks with the tip of his tongue, "But to celebrate Gu Shangshu's promotion, can you still? What else? Look at something else."

……

After arriving in the southwest for a few days, Mr. Gu admired the beauties first, but he never took the time to look at the scenery.

Shuofang Plain? It is the best season of the year. There are flourishing wild flowers everywhere, clustered together in one place, blooming enthusiastically and full of vigor.

Shao Yunlang sat on the grassy slope, twirling a few small flowers between his slender hands with scars, he quickly wove a wreath, and put it on Gu Yuanzheng's head.

Gu Shangshu was bored in the room every day dealing with official documents. Shao Yunlang was really afraid that he would grow mushrooms, so he recited him and exposed him to the sun.

At this time, the jade-like beauty was sitting under the sun and wind, with a face of helplessness and connivance straightening the wreath above her head, holding an official document that could not be put down in her hand.

"How old is His Royal Highness King Yu?" He asked with a smile, "You still like these little things?"

That's it? That said, but the person who was supported by him for the wreath was clearly? Very careful.

"Master Gu is ignorant." Shao Yunlang lay beside his lap, covering the dazzling sunlight with one hand, and said lazily: "Isn't this? A child's trick, on the grassland? Girls and boys have hearts. If someone is too embarrassed to speak directly, he hangs a garland in front of his tent with his name on it."

"On the second day, my sweetheart came out to see the wreath. If I disagreed, I would quietly send the wreath back to avoid embarrassment. If I agreed, I would walk around the tribe with the wreath. So everyone knows they're a couple."

Gu Yuanzheng listened to him quietly, touched the wreath on his head again, and asked with a smile, "Shall I take the prince's wreath to show off in Qiushui Pass?"

"You don't have to..." Shao Yunlang turned to look at him, "They will know you are my man even if you don't wear this thing."

Gu Yuanzheng said with emotion: "What is it? You have been on the grassland for a long time, and you know a little about the customs of the barbarians."

The smile on Shao Yunlang's lips faded a little.

Sensing the change in his mood, Gu Yuanzheng put down his hand to hold the official document, and looked down at him, "What's wrong?"

Shao Yunlang moved his body and lay down on his lap again.

"Do you know how I know this custom?" Shao Yunlang let out a long breath, "Your legs back then... Because of this incident, I hated all barbarians, I..."

He lowered his eyelashes and said softly: "I have also murdered several groups of prisoners of war."

Gu Yuanzheng had heard of these rumors in Yongjing, but when Shao Yunlang told them at this time, he still felt an uncontrollable sourness in his heart.

Shao Yunlang is good at fighting, but he is not a bloodthirsty person.

"Anyway, for a while, I seemed to be a little dazed." Playing with Gu Yuanzheng's slender fingers, Shao Yunlang smiled wryly, "Then once, when I wiped out a small tribe, I found that there were more than a dozen young people They all wore garlands on their heads, so I asked a private dealer who led the way to dig old gold, and he told me about this barbarian custom."

"It turns out that that day, it should be? A dozen of them got married together."

The wind from the prairie passed through Guyan Mountain, and brought the falling flowers to Shao Yunlang's fingertips. He caught the light yellow petals, shook his head and sighed: "They are all the same people."

Gu Yuanzheng gently held his fingers together, and said in a low voice: "During the Tai-zu period, the barbarians became vassals, but the taxes they had to pay every year were not too strict, and the border exchanges and exchanges, their herdsmen can wear? Yongzhou’s cotton and linen, our children can also eat their milk cakes, isn’t it? It’s not a good time.”

"But people are...very greedy." Shao Yunlang said: "Since they plundered several times during the Qing'an period but were not punished, this wolf that once surrendered tasted the smell of blood, so it can only eat enough food to satisfy its hunger. Satisfy its greed."

"Your Highness, will you get better." Gu Yuanzheng took out a blade of grass from his curly long hair, and rubbed Shao Yunlang's earlobe again, "When you wait for the guests of the world, you will come back from the old days .”

"En." Shao Yunlang responded, not knowing what came to mind, and he said again: "When you came yesterday, you forgot to ask, why haven't you heard from me for two months, and it's only been a month since you came here from Yongjing?"

Gu Yuanzheng went to Qingzhou on the way. Yi Mingming, his third brother's teacher, is a genius doctor. He lived in Qingzhou for more than a month, and after many times of acupuncture and medicinal baths, he finally felt some sensation in his lower leg.

For example, Shao Yunlang is lying on his lap now? The slight weight and heat make him feel emotional.

At the time of parting, that Mr. Yi said that the rest of the meridians will need to be recuperated slowly by medicine, maybe? Tomorrow, maybe never? Recovery.

So there is no need to tell Shao Yunlang about this illusory hope first.

"I dealt with some matters in the Jianghu halfway." Gu Yuanzheng changed the topic calmly, "You...do you smell the aroma of wine?"

Shao Yunlang:? ? ?

He stood up and sniffed, "No, I just smelled the fragrance of flowers. Why are you hungry for wine?"

Gu Yuanzheng frowned. It wasn't entirely because he wanted to change the subject, but because he could indeed smell the aroma of the wine. After Shao Yunlang sat up, it became more intense and mellow.

It's not like? Ordinary wine, but... Shinichi.

This letter seems familiar, Gu Yuanzheng almost? Immediately remembered the Dikun who fit him so well by the Zhijin River seven years ago.

But what kind of earth is there here...

His throat was a little dry, and he looked at Shao Yunlang who was sitting beside him again.

Shao Yunlang looked at him for a moment without knowing why, then suddenly squinted his eyes and leaned over like a fox, and blew lightly on the pinna of his ear.

"What look, brother Gu?" Shao Yunlang smiled, "Why does it seem like you want to eat me?"
