The general and I form a pair

When was the last time I saw Uncle Gu?

Ah Qing's memory was a little fuzzy.

I just vaguely remember that at that time the setting sun was like blood, Gu Donghai's hair was messy, there were faint bloodstains on the bluish stubble, and the thick armor had been soaked by dark red bloodstains.The polished tip of the gun was covered with blood, and the red tassels fluttered in the strong north wind.

He stood facing the wind, his eyes were cold and deep.

"Uncle Gu, Da Qi's sudden increase in troops this time is very unusual. From a common sense point of view, even though Da Qi has grown stronger these years, after the battle of Mulan Mountain, Da Qi lost so many troops, it is time to rest and recuperate." Yes. Besides, if they put their troops into the northern border battlefield, aren't they afraid of a surprise attack from Xilong?"

"Everyone thought that it was us who slaughtered Mulan Mountain, and Da Qi couldn't swallow this breath, so he sent more troops to the border. But based on the observations of the past few days, they did not increase their troops this time because they were angry for a while, but because they had Premeditated. Daqi and Xilong must have reached some kind of agreement."

"In the northwest of Daliang, if one stone looks at each other, if the West Long moves, the Shi family army will be restrained. Without a strong Shi family army rushing to help, our Gu family will have a difficult road ahead."

Xue Qing's red shirt was rustling in the wind.He wore a silver wolf mask on his face, giving off a murderous look.The smiling eyes in the past are also stained with a layer of frost at this moment, and there are endless vicissitudes and sorrows.

"You're right. We've been trapped in the city for half a month. There's not enough food and grass in the city. We won't be able to hold on for a few days." Gu Donghai sighed.

"Da Qi besieged us for many days but didn't attack. He just wanted to trap us to death. By the way, he packed up the other reinforcements that came to Tucheng. Fortunately, His Royal Highness withdrew to Lin'an City early, so we didn't have any worries." Xue Qing said.

"However, Da Qi is wishful thinking if we want us to be trapped to death like this. Since I can slaughter Mulan Mountain once, there will naturally be a second time!"

"Ah Ching, you..."

"Uncle Gu, I've been familiar with the terrain of Mulan Mountain for a long time. Walk across the ravine behind Daping Mountain. There is a small road over there. Cross the path to the north of Mulan Mountain. Give me five hundred soldiers, and we will attack them from the rear. One is caught off guard. As long as a gap is opened, Uncle Gu will lead the Gu family army to rush out of the encirclement and retreat to Lin'an City. Join forces with His Highness."

"What about Ah Qing?"

"Mulan Mountain is so big, you can hide anywhere. Don't worry, Uncle Gu."

"Ah Ching..."

"Uncle Gu, no one here is more familiar with Mulan Mountain than I am. It's not too late, so don't delay any longer."

Gu Donghai selfishly did not want Ah Qing to take risks, but the situation forced him, if he continued to hold on, the entire Gu family army would be wiped out.Once Tucheng is captured by Daqi, the northern border will be in danger!

"General, Gu Chong wishes to go to Mulan Mountain with General Xue."

After a moment of silence, Gu Donghai finally nodded.And kiss five hundred elite soldiers to him.

"Ah Qing, let Uncle Gu take a good look at you, okay?"

Xue Qing stroked the cold and hard mask on his face, and bent his eyes: "When Ah Qing comes back, let Uncle Gu see enough."

Gu Zhong knew that Xue Qing was born with unparalleled beauty, and he loved beauty very much.Every time I go out, even if it is a war, I have to cover it with a flower paper umbrella.

He often said: "The sun in the frontier is too poisonous. My young master's skin is delicate and tender. If he gets sunburned, he will not be the most beautiful man in the world."

At first, everyone in the army hated this skinny and smug boy.There is no masculinity at all, but yin and yin.But after he showed his extraordinary strength in Mulan Mountain, even this defect of love of beauty was very cute in the eyes of the men in the army.

So that later, the Gu family's army must have kept a few floral paper umbrellas for young general Xue to use.

Gu Zhong has one in his hand.

The [-] soldiers that Gu Donghai ordered were all the elite of the Gu family army.They naturally understand what they will face when they go to Mulan Mountain.

But everyone flinched without the slightest hesitation.Gu Jiajun, there is no coward.

These people waded through Daping Mountain and headed north along Xifeng Valley.In the hot summer, the heat is rising, the sun is scorching the earth, and the people who are exposed to the sun are limp.

Gu Zhong held up the flowered paper umbrella and said to Xue Qing: "General Xue, the weather is sweltering, there is an umbrella here to shade you, why don't you take off your mask."

Gu Zhong didn't understand why such a nice person would suddenly wear a mask.The mask is airtight, and if you wear it in this kind of weather, you will definitely get prickly heat from covering it.Xue Xiaojiang has always loved beauty, how do you look at it these days, it's weird.

Xue Qing took the umbrella and said with a smile: "This mask is specially made, it is cooling off. You always say that I am too handsome. After I return to Beijing, I specially asked someone to make this mask. Look, am I now It looks very imposing!"

Gu Zhong said: "General Xue is already brave, and the soldiers of Daqi almost peed their pants when they heard your prestige, how can they use masks to create momentum?"

"Hey, just treat it as me playing with it."

Xue Qing was only eighteen years old at that time, and Gu Zhong only thought of him as a child, so he didn't say anything else.

As for how uncomfortable wearing a mask is, only Xue Qing knows.

The only thing he was lucky about was that his eyes were healed by that person.

After leaving the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Xue Gui took Xue Qing to stay at the inn.Compared with losing his eyes, Xue Qing, who was already disfigured at that time, was extremely broken.

He lay in bed for three whole days without saying a word.

Xue Gui dared not leave his side for a moment.

He didn't speak until the ghost doctor who gouged out his eyes came to the door.

"If you ruin other people's eyes to save me, then you should leave. I am willing to save brother Ayan. You don't have to feel guilty about it."

The ghost doctor has been obsessed with medical skills all his life, and never cares about the mundane world.But the boy in front of him made him inexplicably sad.

"Don't worry, the owner of these eyes has died of illness. I only took the eye mask after seeking the owner's permission."

"That's good, I'm going to trouble the ghost doctor."

Xue Gui lifted the gauze curtain away, and the ghost doctor saw the young man in front of him clearly.On his flawless face, there was a large scar from the fire, which was hideous and terrifying.

His heart ached and he didn't ask.Instead, he was very focused on healing his eyes.

When Xue Qing was able to see again, the ghost doctor had disappeared.

After that, he ate and drank medicine obediently, resting his body.After regaining his energy, he left Shangjing with Xue Gui.

Passing by Uncle Fu's yard, he only took a look from a distance.Chasing Feng and Lightning are still basking in the sun leisurely in the stable.

"Chasing the wind and lightning, we want to be together forever."

The silver mask burst into dazzling light in the early morning light.

Daqi increased his troops for no reason, and he was worried about Gu Donghai who was far away in the frontier.As soon as the eye injury healed, he followed Xue Gui to northern Xinjiang.

On the road, he met Prince Li Su.

Xue Qing deliberately avoided Li Su, and after quietly inquiring, he found out that the Holy Majesty sent a prince to supervise the army this time.

That's right, the prince is an adult and can participate in politics.Sending the prince over this time is just for military merit.With the Gu family army around, the crown prince will definitely be safe.

However, when Xue Qing arrived in northern Xinjiang, he realized how serious the situation was.

Fortunately, he came...

The closer they got to Mulan Mountain, the heavier their hearts became.

There was a shortage of food in Tucheng, Xue Qing did not take a grain of food with him when he left.These days, trekking through mountains and rivers, relying on mountains to eat mountains, encountering water and drinking water.

As far as the north of Mulan Mountain, you can faintly see stretches of Daqi tents.

Looking south along the mountain range, one can vaguely see the Gu family's army flag fluttering in the wind on the Tucheng.

There are also two young men, one red and one white, under the gate of the city, riding on a steed horse, with high spirits.

The man in red held a flowered paper umbrella, pointed to the north, and talked eloquently: "Brother Ayan, when my magic bow and giant crossbow are made, Da Qi, who must be beaten, will obediently surrender, and dare not offend my beam again!" land."

The wind and sand blew past, rolling up bursts of sand and dust.

The two figures, one red and one white, were also like passing clouds of smoke, passing by with the wind, crushed in the billowing dust, and turned into illusion.

Xue Qing looked at Tucheng from a distance, and sighed in his heart: "I don't know, will there be such a day?"

----

"Hiss~" Ah Qing rubbed the center of his eyebrows, his head started to hurt again.

"Young Master, are you feeling unwell? This servant is going to call the Divine Doctor Gongsun."

"Oh, no, no need. I'll be fine after a while."

Ah Qing suddenly thought of his unfinished magic bow and crossbow.So he got up and went to the armory.

In the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Xue Qing spent most of his time in the arsenal. He was obsessed with making modified weapons and couldn't extricate himself.

As soon as he entered the arsenal, a huge semi-finished gun was placed in the center.This is the magic bow and giant crossbow that Xue Qing said.

When I was doing this step, I encountered a bottleneck and couldn't go any further.The crossbow is bulky, heavy, and cumbersome to use.Can be used for defense, but not suitable for siege.

He wanted to overturn all design steps and start over.

Ah Qing touched the huge penis with nostalgia.Unexpectedly, there is no trace of dust on it.

He smiled slightly, it must be that Ayan came to clean this place every day.

In addition to weapons, there are weapon racks on both sides of the armory, on which various weapons are displayed.There are assembled finished products, and there are scattered parts that have been disassembled.

On the marble table under the window, there is also a stack of weapon blueprints.On the bookshelf on the left hand side of the case, there are all kinds of weapon manuals collected by the two of them.

All the decorations are the same as when he left.Didn't move half a point.

A set of blueprints unfolded on the case was exactly the blueprint of his redesigned giant crossbow modification. He sat down and picked up the blueprint to study it carefully.

After all, this is the blueprint from five years ago.Although Ah Qing hadn't been in contact with military affairs in recent years, his innate talent for weapons allowed him to know where the problem with the blueprint came from just by looking at it.

Although this was Xue Qing's second improvement plan at that time, at this moment, from the perspective of Ah Qing, a "bystander", this second plan still has many shortcomings.

Although after the improvement, more arrows can be fired at one time, which is very powerful.However, the design of this kind of giant crossbow is extremely complicated and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so it cannot be manufactured too much.That would deviate from his original intention.

So, he started the third improvement of the divine bow and crossbow...

"Let me just say, once Ah Qing comes to the armory, he forgets everything."

The warm voice penetrated into Ah Qing's ears, he looked up, and saw that man was smiling, stepping on the auspicious sunset clouds, taking advantage of the deep red court clothes, he was more than calm and heroic.

This man came to look for him without even changing his court clothes, Ah Qing only felt his face heat up.

"You're back!" He put down his pen, walked around the marble table and walked in front of Gu Yan.

"Waiting for a long time? Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"Look at you being so focused, how dare you disturb me."

Ah Qing scratched her head and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm thinking like a spring and forget the time. By the way, I have already drawn up the proposal for Shangwutang."

Ah Qing went back to the table, took some papers and handed them over.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Master Chu has a saying, which is very correct."

"What?"

"This general is really lucky to have such a good wife."
