Chang'an Fu

"Yang, I know what you're worried about. The third brother is cute and smart. I'd be very happy if he could become the heir. It's a pity that his mother and concubine are useless, and the mother's family can't do anything to help him." to laugh

"I entered the palace a few days ago, and I happened to meet him swinging in the imperial garden. When he saw me, he immediately dragged me to eat his favorite chestnut cake. He wished he could give me the whole plate. Call me, very familiar, but I look like a fool, not used to it"

Seeing the rare kindness on Li Yu's face, Bai and Yang were a little dazed.

"It seems that the second prince is very happy with this younger brother."

Li Yu neither said yes nor said no, but just said, "It's just a child!"

The two of them sat quietly drinking tea for a long time.

"If everything is finished, send it to my house! I need someone to send it to Yan Ping!"

"Um"

After these two lines of dialogue, there was another silence

Suddenly a figure appeared and broke the rare peace

"Second prince..." A beautiful figure lightly and quickly entered Li Yu's house, which never closed the door, and the owner of the voice still had anxiety and embarrassment that could not be concealed.

"Miss Xiao, why are you here?" Li Yu was a little surprised to see Xiao Yuyan. Could it be that something happened to Guo?No, if something happened to him, he couldn't possibly not know about it. Thinking of this, he relaxed a little, and comforted him:

"Don't worry, what happened?"

"Second prince, I..." said Bai and Yang, who were sitting upright in the lobby, feeling a bit embarrassed, faltering

"But it's okay to talk." Li Yu saw her concerns, but Bai and Yang were not outsiders either.

"I know that the second prince knows a lot, so I want to inquire about the border situation." After saying that, I felt a little abrupt, so I continued to explain

"The string of chains that Big Brother Guo gave me before he left broke for no reason this morning. I have been restless in my heart. I really have no choice but to come to your house to bother you."

"Ms. Xiao, why are you so polite? Guo is not at home. If you have anything to do, just come to me." Li Yu didn't know the twists and turns between her and Guo Ye, but he could probably guess a little bit, and Guo Ye must have left on his own. I haven't been home much since I left.

"There are a lot of things going on at the border these days, don't worry, I will tell you if there is something to do."

"master!"

Before Xiao Yuyan could react, Liu Wu came with a heavy expression on her face, and Li Yu didn't bother with her name that could never be changed.

"What's the matter?"

"According to the people at the border, Xiao Si disappeared half a month ago!"

"!"

The other people around him didn't know who Xiaosi was, but seeing Li Yu's gloomy expression, they could guess that this person was very important, and it was also involved in the border, which made people care less

Especially Xiao Yuyan who hadn't settled down just now

"Second Prince, but what happened at the border?"

It stands to reason that she shouldn't ask, but it is related to the border, and it may have something to do with Guo, so she has to ask

But Li Yu didn't answer her, but continued to ask Liu Wu

"Maybe you can find out the situation at the border now?"

"General Gu seems to have been caught in a trap. According to reports from Xiongmeng, General Gu seems to be fine, but Vice-General Guo is missing."

"Why is it rumored, but not sure?"

"The subordinates are incompetent. It's true that the Gu family army can't find any news at all. The blockade is severe, but it is said that there are drills every day, so..."

At this moment, Li Yu didn't want to listen any more, his mind was full of Gu Huai, he knew the current situation, the more rigorous he was, the more it proved that Gu Huai was definitely not all right, he might be seriously injured, or, worse

Xiao Yuyan's complexion was already pale when she heard that Guo Ye was missing, and she couldn't move, but her strong psychological quality supported her and she didn't faint on the spot

Li Yu didn't care about her so much, he quickly woke up from the sadness just now, his brain was running fast

"I have to go to the border!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai and Yang, who were drinking tea beside them, were startled.

"Go to the border at this time, Second Prince, you can't help it"

Now that there is an undercurrent in the court, who knows what uncontrollable changes will happen when he leaves

"Yan Ping acted in such a high-profile way to tell the enemy that he was fine. I know it can't be that simple. I know his temperament and the situation at the border. I don't feel relieved if I don't go to see it. Besides, Guo is also missing now. I don't know, the border gate needs someone to take care of it!"

Bai and Yang saw that it was useless to talk too much, so they stopped persuading

"I'm going back now. I'll send someone to bring the iron armor over tomorrow morning. Go ahead, go back early!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

"Second Prince" only heard a plop, and Xiao Yuyan, who had been silent all this time, knelt down in front of Li Yu

"Please, take me to the border"

Originally, he wanted to say that the mountains were high and the water was far away, and that the location was dangerous. Li Yu, who wanted to dissuade him, saw Xiao Yanran's sad but determined expression, and swallowed everything he wanted to say, leaving only one sentence

"Forget it, you go and pack your luggage, the environment at the border is not good, so make more preparations"

In the barracks of the Gu Family Army at the border, Gu Huai was still in a coma. Although the imperial physician in the army had already dealt with it, although the power of the gunpowder was mostly blocked by the iron armor, Gu Huai still suffered considerable injuries.

When he woke up occasionally, he just told the people below to practice and prepare as usual, and not to make the people of Xiongmeng suspicious.

Just after feeding the medicine that day, Gu Huai woke up again in a daze

I don't know if it was because he slept for too long, but he actually gave birth to a kind of peach tree in the mansion full of peach trees. The peach trees that Li Yu planted for him seemed to be much more lush than when he went out. There are also peach blossoms on the tree

It's just that this peach blossom smells like Chinese medicine

Gu Huai frowned subconsciously, and called out softly.

"Zihuan, this peach blossom is not authentic"

The little soldier waiting on the side heard his general's sudden murmur and said that he had woken up, so he immediately approached Gu Huai's bed and asked with concern

"General, what did you just say?"

This call pulled Gu Huai out of the illusion of unreality

He didn't have much strength to answer his questions, but he just thought to himself, now that he is in the army, Zihuan probably doesn't know what's going on here

He really didn't want to think too much, and suddenly felt his whole body go limp, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but this time he spoke clearly

"Don't tell Zihuan"

The little soldier heard these words very clearly, but he didn't understand what his general was talking about at all.

Not everyone knows Li Yu's name, and not many people know about the entanglement between him and Li Yu

Although he didn't understand, the little soldier still wrote it down when recording the general's situation every day, because he was really worried that this was a very important sentence, and if he made a mistake, he would not be able to bear the blame

"Are you sure you watched Gu Huai leave that day?" Hadanu asked

"Yes, my subordinate saw it clearly from the tower that day, and Gu Huai even looked back at that time, and almost spotted me."

In fact, he wasn't sure whether Gu Huai saw him or not, but he couldn't tell Hadanu whether he saw him or not.

Otherwise, the sinister new Khan would have to cut himself alive

"What's going on there these days?" Hadanu didn't seem to care about this episode and continued to ask

"As usual, there are regular drills every day and preparations for combat at any time"

As soon as this sentence came out, Hadanu remained silent, and the man underneath couldn't figure out Hadanu's thoughts, but felt that the wolf picture on his face when he was silent was like staring at the prey, which was frightening

"That day Gu Huai was wearing a weird armor, it must have been the armor that blocked the gunpowder attack for you, but our gunpowder was put on it and it didn't kill Gu Huai, he was really lucky."

"Fortunately, Guo is also in our hands."

As soon as the words came out, Hadanu glared at him suddenly, and he shut up instantly

But Hadanu just found him annoying and didn't get angry

"Go down!"

The man withdrew quickly as if he had been pardoned. Everyone said that Chiha, the former Khan King, was violent and cruel, but he felt that Hadanu was much more terrifying than Chiha. People who don't show their faces are more ruthless

Barking dogs don't bite

The next day was still dark, and Bai and Yang, who hadn't slept all night, came to Li Yu's residence with the ten black iron armors before they even had time to change into their pajamas.

Liang Shan, who was awakened by a loud knock on the door, was stunned when he saw Bai and Yang, who were rarely seen in white clothes.

But Bai and Yang didn't realize he was there, and poked Liang Shan's forehead with their fingers while smiling.

"Why, you don't know uncle if you don't see each other all night?"

Surrounded by the scent of pear blossoms that can be smelled as long as there is physical contact, Liang Shan turned his head aside

"Who told you to wear white clothes? I thought I had seen a ghost!"

"Tsk tsk tsk" Bai and Yang shook their heads while walking in, not forgetting to talk to Liang Shan

"Nobody loves a stubborn kid"

Liang Shan, who had been punctured, snorted and stopped talking, and hurriedly ran to the back to call Li Yu

In fact, Li Yu got up when he heard the sound again. Not only Bai and Yang didn't sleep that night, but Li Yu was the same. When he thought that Gu Huai didn't know what was going on with his health, Li Yu couldn't calm down. Ride the horse overnight to the lover's side

Of course Xiao Yuyan is the same, so when Liang Shan went in to find Li Yu, Xiao Yuyan came to the mansion

A few people met their eyes, but they didn't have much to say, they all knew it well

But Bai and Yang couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere. Seeing that Xiao Yuyan had nothing but a small burden on her back, they asked

"Miss Xiao, have you brought enough things?"

When Xiao Yuyan saw his eyes on her own bag, she understood what he meant.

"I didn't have much luggage in the first place, and besides, it's not convenient to hurry because there are too many things along the way."

Wen Yanbai and Yang nodded, then turned to Li Yu and said

"I have prepared all the carriages on the road. For the convenience of the journey, they are all in two carriages. The remaining three fast horses are one for each person."

"Three people?" Li Yu asked puzzled

"Well, you, me, she" pointing at Xiao Yuyan

"Are you going too?"

Li Yu and Liang Shan said at the same time

"Anyway, I'm alone, and I think my skills are pretty good. Besides, I know how to use the black iron armor better than anyone else."
