Every day after the marriage, I prepare a funeral for my husband

The night wind howled, and it was cold. On such a cold night, a Xing'an army team avoided Daxia's scouts and quietly left the city, heading straight for Nansu's previous station.

But as soon as he stepped into the barracks, a hearty voice came from afar: "There is a loss and a welcome..."

Qin Shize stopped immediately and frowned slightly. Fatty Li turned to look at him. Although he was a little puzzled, he did not continue walking.

At this moment, a middle-aged officer in armor walked towards the two of them, clasped his hands and said in a loud voice: "General Xiaoqin, Mr. Li, his subordinate is Chen Zide, a former general of King Tuozhen, who has admired the two great names for a long time." , I finally got to see you today, it’s a great honor to meet you!”

Qin Shize nodded slightly: "So it's General Chen."

The middle-aged officer smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "It's cold outside, please come in quickly, both of you."

"No," Qin Shize looked around, and asked indifferently: "We are here to see King Tuozhen, what about others?"

"If the two of you come to see the prince, then you will be one step too late. The prince has already returned to Qingyuan a few days ago."

This……?

Qin Shize and Fatty Li looked at each other: Could it be that the grain and grass were really sent by Nansu?

Chen Zide seemed to know their doubts, he couldn't help sighing, and explained: "You two, although our lord has reconciled with the sixth prince, but this day is a day of kindness to the husband and wife. Although I don't know that he had a relationship with the sixth prince before. What kind of anger, but after all, he still has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and the food and grass we brought have almost been consumed, which is not enough for the city defenders. He returned to Qingyuan without hesitation, after all, he will not see the sixth prince suffer..."

After some explanations, Chen Zide shook his head, and seemed to be a little emotional about the love and hatred of the "husband and wife", but suddenly realized that the weather was cold, and invited the two of them again.

It's just that Qin Shize refused, he was always a straightforward person, after realizing that he couldn't see Nan Su, he turned his head and got on the horse.

Fatty Li was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly followed, shouting anxiously: "Wait for me, you wait..."

They came and went in a hurry, and after the team left, the camp gradually became silent, only the crows in the sky were screaming, their black wings were like spirit banners of death.

In the tent that was smoked with fine agarwood, the man was sitting by the candlestick, a circle of light shone on his handsome face, with a pale golden light.

Chen Zide opened the curtain, walked in carefully, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I sent them away."

Nan Su didn't speak, as if he didn't hear, just quietly stared at the light in front of the table, his eyes straightened.

Chen Zide knew that he was in a bad mood, since he received the news of Qin Shize's arrival, especially Qingyuan's grain and grass had all entered the city, and Dian Chen had gone to Daxia, so they reacted belatedly: they are like a group of people. Guarding an empty city like a fool...

It's really a joke to say it.

In fact, Chen Zide has always been disapproving of Nan Su's extreme actions. If the court wants to settle accounts in the future, what should Qing Yuan do?But Nansu is his master, and he even promised that King Qingyuan would protect Nansu for the rest of his life, so no matter what Nansu wants to do, he is his most loyal supporter...

There was silence in the room, Chen Zide didn't dare to touch Nan Su's bad luck again, and was about to back out, but suddenly Nan Su chuckled and said, "Gu Qiao...he is actually in Qingyuan..."

Chen Zide's heart trembled immediately: "My lord, that thief is so bold that he should be decapitated. Please give me an order. I will send an entire army to arrest him immediately!"

"Arrest? He is the king of Qingyuan now, how to arrest him?"

Nan Su's tone was light and authentic: "You have to play a full set of acting. Instead of arresting Gu Qiao, you might as well go to the city to help Qin Shize immediately. Whether it's cleaning up the corpses or beating Daxia's striker, King Tuozhen has distributed food and grass." , as one of his subordinates, how can you stand on the sidelines?"

Chen Zide suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but secretly sighed at his master's meticulousness.

However, he thought for a while, then frowned and asked: "But what about Gu Qiao? My lord, should we just let him do evil in Qingyuan?"

Nan Su glanced at him, then casually picked up the scissors to pick out the wick, and said with a smile: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, since he wants to be the king of Tuozhen so much, let him go. In this world, I and I He always has one to stand in the shadows, and now he is Nan Su..."

With a click, the scissors were closed, and Nan Su's expression gradually melted like a gap in ice, and he said warmly, "Then I... am I Gu Qiao?"

Chen Zide was slightly taken aback, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He suddenly had a bad premonition: What else would his master do to make him shudder?

Gu Qiao, who was far away in Qingyuan, didn't know that at this moment, the situation in the north was about to undergo a new round of changes. He just sat quietly in the shogunate, estimating the time when the food and grass would arrive in Ansheng, and hoped Before Nan Susha came back, he could deal with all the aftermath and return to Xing'er and Dianchen's side as soon as possible.

He didn't know what kind of storm was waiting ahead...

In the Qingyuan shogunate, the wind outside became stronger at night, and the door was suddenly blown to make a crisp "creak".

Gu Qiao thought it was the wind, so he raised his head and was about to get up to close the door, but before he could move, the door was suddenly opened, and he saw a woman in a red cloak standing at the door.

The cold wind was blowing on her face like a cold knife. The woman stood there with her cloak wrapped around her, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, looking at him through layers of wind and snow.

It wasn't until this moment that a few soldiers came up in a hurry, knelt down and said in fear, "My lord, the princess insisted on seeing you, but I couldn't stop her..."

"You go back."

Gu Qiao waved back the soldiers, and finally confirmed the woman's identity—it was the eldest sister he had never met before, and also Qingyuan's princess, Nan Wan.

When he was in Jinling, he received many jars of plum wine, all brewed by her...

It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment, Nan Wan slowly raised her foot and walked in, with a trace of fatigue in her gait, she pulled a stool over and sat down slowly opposite Gu Qiao.

The woman's posture is demure, and looking at it from a close distance now, she doesn't look like a 34-five person, but there are a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, which adds a bit of mature and gentle charm.

"If I hadn't been stopped when I went to visit my mother at the prince's mansion, at this moment, I would hardly dare to think that it was you sitting here..."

After a long time, she shook her head: "So, this should be our first meeting, right?"

Gu Qiao didn't speak, just sat there and poured a cup of tea for Nan Wan, with an obvious sense of alienation.偖颩喥徦

Seeing this, a trace of loneliness suddenly slipped across Nan Wan's face, she frowned slightly, and then said softly: "It's not easy for you to live to this day with a desolate body."

The members of the Nan family, regardless of men, women, or children, seem to have a gentle appearance on the surface, but Gu Qiao never wants to be deceived by such faces. He reminds himself deeply: They are not his family. Wan, neither...

Thinking of this, he smiled: "Big sister, what is the purpose of your trip?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just came here to ask you one thing."

After finishing speaking, Nanwan seemed to feel a little cold, she tightened her cloak tightly, and then said carefully: "Now that you are sitting in the position of King Tuozhen, I only hope that you will not hurt your mother because of the love you have enjoyed over the years. Okay? She's just a woman who lost her husband, and everything she does is for her children..."

what about me?

Sister, what about me?

A trace of sourness rose slowly from the bottom of his heart, vaguely, Gu Qiao once again thought of the letter she wrote many years ago, saying to him in delicate handwriting, "My sister is waiting for you in Qingyuan, and our whole family is waiting for you in Qingyuan... ..."

Su'er...

We are waiting for you...

"You think too much."

Gu Qiao's eyes were slightly red, but he raised his chin high, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister, what do you think I came here for? To get back everything I lost? To covet Qingyuan's wealth? To drive the entire Nan family to extinction ? No, you are wrong, I have my own surname, and the title King Tuozhen means nothing to me."

Destiny is like a barren fire, burning him to pieces, those good wishes and expectations for the future, after all, go with that fire...

Although Gu Qiao's words were very unpleasant, Nan Wan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold on to his sleeve, but seeing his indifference, she finally just withdrew her hand silently: "This is what my Nan family owes you, don't worry, since I know your identity, I will live in the prince's mansion to stay with my mother, and will not cause you any trouble. Anyway, thank you, not only because of this matter, but also, thank you for going to Jinling for Su'er and taking responsibility for him. 18 years..."

"No need," Gu Qiao suddenly lowered his head and picked up a pen, signaling that he was busy: "You go."

The princess who grew up in the greenhouse was so noble, but bowed slightly, even saluted his humble "brother", and then walked out of the room.

A little snow fell outside at some point, and her figure gradually disappeared. The fiery red cloak was like the setting sun and flowers on the grassland, brilliant and bright.

I don't know how long it took before Gu Qiao raised his head, looked at the eastern sky, and saw a ray of light shining through the sky covered with thick clouds...

The night is almost over, isn't it?

With the cold wind blowing, he took a deep breath, put his hands on his abdomen, felt the faint heartbeat under his palms, and his brows and eyes overflowed with deep worry.

After the food and grass were sent out, he stayed in Qingyuan all the time, just to prevent any mistakes in the middle, so that he could take advantage of this identity to take some countermeasures.But Erbao has been nine months now, and he dare not take off his cloak even in the house, in case someone finds out that he is a fake... Or, Nan Su is back and wants to trouble him... Or, Liangcao Before arriving, Dianchen couldn't hold on...

Everything made him feel scared.

……

Fortunately, after staying in the shogunate for another half a month, the news that the food and grass had successfully arrived in Ansheng finally came back.

A big stone in Gu Qiao's heart finally fell to the ground.

But when he saw the letter stating that the food and grass had been handed over to Qin Shize, he first smiled, feeling a little emotional, and then suddenly frowned.

To be honest, although he asked Qin Shize and Li Fatty for help, he was not sure that they would help. After all, their identities are beyond comparison to those ordinary disciples of aristocratic families—sometimes, one person can represent a family.

Neither Qin Shize nor Fatty Li had it easy.

However, after reading the letter, after Gu Qiao calmed down, he suddenly felt a kind of uneasiness lingering in his heart: No, no matter how busy he is, according to Dianchen's temperament, he will definitely check it himself, and even if he retreats ten thousand steps In other words, even if Dianchen is really too busy to take care of this matter, it stands to reason that it should be handed over to Jiang Qing——

Dayan's military system is strict, but there is absolutely no rule of Qin Shize acting on behalf of others...

Unless, neither Dianchen nor Jiang Qing can accept it...

Gu Qiao's heart tightened suddenly. Seeing that the letter had reached the end but Dianchen hadn't been mentioned yet, he hurriedly asked the guard who delivered the letter: "Are there any other letters?"

The guard shook his head: "Go back to the prince, no more."

Gu Qiao: "Then what about the situation of the sixth prince? Why wasn't it written in the letter?"

The guard thought for a while, and said: "Master Zhou is good at handling things. If he didn't write, it means that there is no news about the sixth prince. Do you want your subordinate to send a letter now and ask him to send back the document?"

How long will it be delayed this time?

Gu Qiao thought for a moment, and felt that it was time to leave here, so he raised his hand to wave the guards back, shook his head and said, "No need."

At night, he secretly packed some clothes, then avoided the soldiers, put on a hood, and walked out of the shogunate alone.

The wars in the north and the drought in the south didn't affect Qingyuan too much, everything here seemed to be alive, and the bright lights shone on Gu Qiao's face, making him look so thin, with a lonely back, and The surrounding bustle is out of place.

When walking past a small house, Gu Qiao stopped.

He still recognizes it.

One night a few years ago, it was here that Lu Yao reached out from behind and covered his mouth and nose with a veil...

Gu Qiao just looked at the house, the night wind blew on his face, and the shivering cold was like a sharp arrow, gliding past his heart lightly.

However, in this life, after all, he owes Lu Yao more...

Gu Qiao let out a breath and smiled bitterly, but when he inadvertently raised his eyes, he saw a figure who had been wandering in his sleep for a long time actually appeared in front of him, on the other side of the long street!

That is……?

Gu Qiao's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, he stood there silently,

At this moment, he seemed to see his bodyguard again, just as tall and handsome as before, wearing a neat black shirt with an empty sleeve, flashing away from the turbulent crowd.

In a daze, Gu Qiao even thought that he had returned to Fuyungang, just watching that figure disappear in the crowd...

Do not!

A Yao, wait for me! ! !

After reacting, Gu Qiao suddenly ran wildly. He ran so fast that he followed the faintly visible sleeve, crossed the long street, passed the shops, and passed the crowd, only afraid that all this would end like a floating cloud, which would shatter in a blink of an eye. crack.

But he still had a belly, and he couldn't keep up with the pace of the man in front of him. He simply took off his hood and showed his face. At the moment when the guarding soldiers knelt down in fear, he had already stepped onto a horse neatly... …

It was snowing heavily outside the city, and the world was desolate. When the horseshoe stepped on the deserted wasteland, Gu Qiao raised his hand to block the wind and snow in front of him, and tried to widen his eyes, but he could only see the indistinct figure of his back.

"Ah Yao—"

He yelled.

Vaguely, he felt that his heart was beating hard, and the cold wind was swallowing down his hot throat, but it failed to extinguish the unreasonable panic and excitement in his heart.

A Yao, is that you?
