My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An and Gu Li were lying on the couch. After taking two breaths, the latter said with disgust: "It stinks..."

"What's the stink?"

"I don't like the smell of medicine on Chang Lang..."

Chang An came close to Gu Li's face, sniffed it, and then said, "It's okay, Gu Niang still smells good, I'm stinky enough."

"You only know how to say nice things," Gu Li pouted unhappily, "Chang Lang, you can't fight next time, do you hear me?"

"Okay, I'll remember that." Chang An kissed Gu Li's cheek again.

"It's all Chang Lang's fault. I'm unhappy!" After being kissed, Gu Li suddenly felt a little unbalanced, and his hands gripping the quilt tightened even more.

Chang An was a little amused at first, but Gu Li's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had been wronged. Chang An immediately became nervous, and quickly reached out to comfort her, saying, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, can you please forgive me, Madam Gu?"

"Chang Lang is bad!" Gu Li said suddenly.

"I..." Chang An began to feel at a loss again.

Then, pointing at Gu Li with tears in his eyes, he said, "Chang Lang obviously did something wrong today and violated the pinky promise we made! He made me angry, and then... and then he took advantage of me!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made Mother Gu angry. Please don't cry, okay?" Chang An wiped away her tears, then stood up from the couch and wrapped Gu Li with a quilt.

"I still have to accept punishment tonight. Shall I send Gu Niang over first?"

"no!"

Chang An was just asking symbolically, and while asking, he was about to pick up Gu Li and put him back to bed, but Gu Li said this. Chang An couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then heard Gu Li say:

"Chang Lang is not allowed to sleep on the bed today, so am I not allowed to sleep on the couch either?"

Chang An then stopped the action of picking up Gu Li, and turned to wipe her tears, saying: "Okay, Gu Niang can sleep wherever you want, don't cry, okay?"

"Not good!" Gu Li pouted, "Chang Lang just took advantage of me! It was Chang Lang who broke the agreement, but I was the one who was bullied. This is not fair."

Gu Li bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked so pitiful. Chang An had no choice but to get back into bed and said, "Whatever Madam Gu wants Chang Lang to do to compensate you, I will listen to her."

"Then I'll be on top this time!"

Chang An raised his eyebrows, then nodded...

......

After getting up the next day, Gu Li took the opportunity to check the scars on Chang An's body before putting on his clothes, and then touched it gently.

"Chang Lang, does it still hurt?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. After seeing that Gu Niang was angry about the wound yesterday, I didn't dare to feel any pain anymore."

Gu Li smiled and tapped Chang An's nose, saying, "If we fight again next time, I...I will really ignore Chang Lang!"

"No more fighting, no more competitions or fights. Even if Gu Niang allows me to do so, I won't fight anymore, okay?"

"Pin," Gu Li stretched out his hand and made a pinky promise. "Don't break the promise again this time, or... or I'll let you, Chang Lang, beat me!"

Chang An thought of Gu Li's appearance yesterday, and swallowed his saliva in fear. He nodded quickly and made a pinky promise with Gu Li. Gu Li stood up and said:

"Chang Lang, don't get up yet. I'll put on my clothes and apply the medicine to Chang Lang."

"it is good."

Gu Li quickly put on his clothes, took the medicine from the low table, and applied it to Chang An. After applying it to Chang An, Gu Li said, "Chang Lang, put on your clothes and wash up first. After washing your face, apply the medicine to the wound on your face."

Chang An nodded, then stood up and put on his clothes with Gu Li's help. After washing up, when he was about to leave, Gu Li applied medicine on his face. Watching Chang An get on the carriage, she also shouted as usual:

"Chang Lang, remember to come back early."

"Okay, wait for me at home."

Chang An smelled of medicine, and Huaiqin, who was sitting in the same car with him, couldn't stand it. She even opened the curtains of the car to ventilate and remove the smell.

After arriving at the Imperial College, Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao wanted to chat with Chang An. However, after smelling the scent on Chang An, all the topics they wanted to talk about turned into one sentence:

"Wow, Brother Yonghe, what's that smell on you? It's a bit pungent." Du Chengming said with a frown.

But Cui Hujin noticed something was wrong, and pointed at the wound on Chang An's face and asked, "Brother Yonghe, were you... beaten by Madam Gu?"

"That's impossible. Madam Gu feels sorry for Brother Yonghe even when he sneezes, so how could she possibly have the heart to hit him?" Zhang Rushi was the first to object.

"Could it be that Brother Yonghe hit something?" Zhao Guanzhong said something even more outrageous.

Chang An was speechless, waved his hands, and said, "It wasn't knocked down, and it's even less likely that it was beaten by my mother Gu, so don't make random guesses."

"How did you get hurt?"

Chang An explained, "Brother Gao and I talked about something yesterday, but we had some disagreements and had a fight. The smell on your body was also the smell of medicine."

As soon as these words came out, Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao were stunned.

"Madam Gu still allows you, Brother Yonghe, to fight?"

"Last time you and Brother Gao had a martial arts competition, Madam Gu scolded you. Yesterday you really had a fight. Brother Yonghe, can you still fight?"

Suddenly, several people didn't believe it. Because others didn't know the relationship between Chang An and Gu Li, but didn't they know it? Gu Li seemed to be very gentle and close on weekdays, but once Chang An made her angry, even they had to stop and kneel to be scolded when they passed by.

Chang An said somewhat awkwardly: "I can't help it. I will definitely be scolded. I didn't even get to bed last night."

Several gentlemen swallowed their saliva at this time, and then started talking again:

"Oh no, what did you talk about with Brother Gao? Are you going to fight again?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's best if you don't know."

......

After the morning court session, Li Longji was resting, but at this time, Eunuch Cheng walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Shi, the head of the Ministry of War, wants to see you."

Li Longji nodded and said, "Announce."

"Announcement - Gao Shi, the head of the Ministry of War!" Gao Shi was only a minor official of the eighth rank. Naturally, he was not qualified to be welcomed in by the eunuchs. He could only stand at the door and listen to the announcement.

After hearing Eunuch Cheng's call, Gao Shi walked in, kowtowed to Li Longji, and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

"Master Gao, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gao Shi stood up, and Li Longji saw the scars on Gao Shi's face and asked, "Master Gao, your face..."

"Your Majesty, I had an argument with Marquis Dingkang yesterday, so we fought and got wounds," Gao Shi replied.

Li Longji shook his head. Didn't he hear that Chang An and Gao Shi had a close relationship? How could they fight over some quarrels?

But he didn't think much about it, and then asked: "What is the purpose of the audience with you today, Mr. Gao?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to see you today to discuss General Wang's plan for a surprise attack on the Turks," Gao Shi replied.

"General Wang is planning to launch a surprise attack on the Turks?" Li Longji frowned slightly and continued, "How come I don't know about this? Master Gao, please tell me in detail."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Shi then seriously told Li Longji everything about Wang Jun's planned surprise attack.

After listening to this, Li Longji thought for a moment and said, "The Turks had intended to seize Shoujiang City before, so it is reasonable for General Wang to go out and fight against them. I just wonder if you, Master Gao, have any concerns when you come here to make this suggestion today?"

Gao Shi then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this surprise attack is inappropriate."

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"General Wang said that he wanted to march eastward with Bosmil and the Tang leader Zhimichuo to attack the Turks. He wanted to launch a surprise attack and capture the enemy in one fell swoop," said Gao Shi.

"But I think there is something strange about it."

"Tell me the details."

Gao Shi directly expressed his concerns: "Your Majesty, the Tang Shuofang Army is in the south, while the Turkic tribes are in the north. Basimi, who was in charge of Michuo, is far away from the Xi and Khitan in the east and west, and cannot arrive at the same time as the Shuofang Army. If the Shuofang troops come, the Turkic tribe only needs to retreat north for three days, and the Shuofang Army will run out of food and will have to flee south."

"So what? It was just a surprise attack. Victory and defeat are common in the military. The failure of a surprise attack doesn't mean there are too many problems. It only shows that those Turks are cunning." Li Longji said with some disapproval.

"Besides, General Wang was a little proud of the surrender of the city some time ago. This defeat may not be a completely bad thing." Li Longji said.

Gao Shi was stunned for a moment, then continued: "But your majesty, the people of Bosim are greedy for merit and profit. If we rashly attack after the Shuofang army fails to arrive or retreats, I am afraid we will be annihilated."

Li Longji smiled and said, "Paosimi is just a foreigner. To put it bluntly, they are all Turks. If they lose, they lose."

"Also, I think Marquis Dingkang is right about one thing. Humility makes people progress, while pride makes people fall behind. My army is already the most powerful in the world, but I am still rebellious and think I am invincible. This is pride."

"If we win this time, I can turn a blind eye. But if we lose, it's a good opportunity to dampen the enthusiasm of these generals, which is not a bad thing."

Gao Shi was stunned for a moment, then said: "In that case, I have nothing more to say."

"Then Mr. Gao, please leave for now." Li Longji nodded, waved his hand, and let him go.
