The general and I form a pair

Ah Qing looked into the room through the crack of the door, the tub was huge, Gu Yan's arms rested on the edge of the tub, his long black hair was scattered, blocking his back tightly, so he couldn't see anything.Ah Qing was slightly disappointed.

"Brother Ayan, do you need to rub your back?"

After a moment of silence, a deep voice came from the room: "No need."

"Oh……"

"Brother Ayan, shall we sleep in the same bed at night?"

After a while, Gu Yan gave an 'hmm' as an answer.

Ah Qing rubbed her hands together and said, "Then Ah Qing will make the bed first!"

"it is good!"

After a long time, Gu Yan finally took a shower.When he returned to the bamboo house, Ah Qing had already made the bed, and sat cross-legged on the bed very obediently, his slender body swayed back and forth, with a smile on his face, looking at Gu Yan with a thief.

Gu Yan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, and a layer of blush crept up on his ears.

"Why is Ah Qing looking at me like this? But my face hasn't been washed clean?"

Ah Qing shook his head with a smile, and took out a small jar from behind: "Plum wine! Brother Ayan still has plum wine here!"

Gu Yan smiled lightly: "I hid in the cellar, and you found all of this."

"It's Erhei. It's always wandering around the cellar. I thought there was something delicious there, but it turned out to be wine. The moon is shining brightly tonight, why don't we drink a few glasses?"

Gu Yan looked up at the dark sky along the window, and nodded.

Although there is no moonlight, there are beautiful women!

The plum wine has a mellow and clear taste, and the plum fragrance is deep, which accumulates between the lips and teeth. After a few glasses of wine, accompanied by the dense candlelight, people are also a little bit drunk.

"At that time, my eye injury was healed, but when I woke up, I couldn't see Ah Qing. My mother said, you are gone, and you will never come back. I always thought that I didn't respond to you, which made you sad."

"I wanted to find you, but my health was not very good. After so many delays, it was delayed to the wedding date with Princess Heyang. At that time, my father was still on his way home. I didn't want to get married at first, but my mother insisted on it."

"My mother said that my father had lost the battle at the front. If I disobeyed the Holy Majesty at this time, Long Yan would be displeased. Besides, the Holy Majesty did not order me to live in the Princess Mansion, but asked Princess Heyang to marry the General Mansion. A great gift."

"I was worried that my father would be punished for this, so I didn't refuse."

"Father happened to arrive at the General's Mansion in the early morning of the wedding day. He also brought news of Ah Qing along with him."

Gu Yan's bewitched eyes were filled with pain, recalling what happened at that time, he still felt a burning pain.

Although Gu Donghai was defeated and almost lost his life, Ming Yi rushed to help in time to relieve the danger in the northern border, which was a blessing for the court.In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, the Ming family made the first contribution, while the Ji family was demoted. Although the Gu family and the crown prince were not demoted because they miscalculated the situation of the war, they still had to pay fines.

Because Young General Gu and Princess Shang were married to the royal family, the courtiers knew that the Gu family's position in the heart of the Holy One was still unshakable. This happy event deserved a lot of attention, and it also lightened a little of the dullness.

"Brother Ayan, if you marry a nasty ghost, Ah Qing won't be with you!"

Sitting alone in the corridor of Qing Pavilion, Gu Yan flashed through his mind the days with Ah Qing.His crooked eyes when he smiled, his rich expression when he spoke, and his little problem of always pursuing perfection, even if his clothes were wrinkled, he would be depressed for a long time...

"Major General, the time is coming, it's time to change into wedding clothes." Gu Ping urged outside the courtyard.

Gu Yan did not respond.

Until a long time later, there was the sound of steady footsteps.

"Ayan."

Gu Yan raised his head, and when he saw Gu Donghai's haggard look, his heart ached.

He can't be willful.

Gu Donghai patted Gu Yan's shoulder, opened and closed his lips slightly, hesitant to speak.

After the war, he sent people to Mulan Mountain to search for several days, but there was no trace of Ah Qing.Until the end of the mopping up of the Ming army and they had to return to Beijing, there was no news about Ah Qing.

Gu Donghai's heart sank to the bottom, but he still had a little fantasy.He knew that A Yan and A Qing were close, but seeing his son so depressed, he also suppressed the words that came to his lips.

"Go, it's time to greet the relatives."

Gu Yan nodded weakly.

Just after leaving Yanqing Garden, I saw a dirty man rushing in, with a group of servants behind him, but strangely, the guards of the mansion did not step forward to stop him, but let this man enter the backyard smoothly.

After seeing who was coming, Gu Donghai was shocked: "Gu Zhong!"

Gu Zhong was covered in blood, and he didn't know how he made it all the way back.He knelt heavily in front of Gu Donghai, unloaded the package behind him, untied it, and spread it on the ground.

Inside the package was a pair of blood-soaked armor riddled with holes, a broken spear point, and half of a jade pendant that was exactly the same as the one Gu Yan wore around his waist.

Gu Yan's eyes went dark, and he held his breath so as not to faint.

"Where's Ah Qing?"

"In order to relieve the danger of Tucheng, General Xue personally led two hundred troops to divert the main force of the Daqi army, and fought against the main force of the Daqi army at Mulan Mountain Pass. The last general led the remaining one hundred troops to guard the valley pass. General Xue ordered that he must stick to it for an hour. .”

"Hundreds of people versus tens of thousands is a deadly situation. Everyone tried their best to fight to the last moment. The last general survived and immediately went to find General Xue, but he didn't expect that General Xue and his subordinates would all die. General Xue, who was pierced by thousands of arrows, was beaten to the bones by the soldiers of Daqi, and his body was hung at the mouth of the Mulan Valley to dry!"

Gu Zhong kowtowed heavily: "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to protect General Xue. He only brought back General Xue's clothes. Please, General, my condolences!"

Gu Yan couldn't stand anymore, and he barely supported himself by relying on Gu Ting.

"How could Ah Qing, how could..."

Gu Donghai closed his eyes in pain. Although he had expected this result, when he actually saw the broken armor, his heart ached.

That boy will never come back.

Such a bright and dazzling, so unparalleled handsome, such a beauty-loving young man, with thousands of arrows piercing his heart, skinned and broken, and his death was so tragic...

"Uncle Ping, order to go down. The whole family will remove the red silk and replace it all with white banners. The wedding hall will be demolished and a mourning hall will be built. I want to guard the spirit for Ah Qing!"

"Yes, Major General!"

The guard helped Gu Zhong who was kneeling on the ground up, and at the same time went to the doctor to look after his wound.It's just too late.

The guard's eyes were red: "Major General..."

With a hoarse voice, Gu Yan said tremblingly, "Let's have a lavish burial."

Everyone endured their grief and set up the mourning hall as quickly as possible.

"This... Major General, today is the wedding day of the Major General and Princess Heyang, absolutely not!"

Song Gu and the eldest princess received the family members of the officials who came to congratulate them in the garden, and suddenly heard the report from the front yard, and the eldest princess was furious.

"Husband, you don't care. What day is it today? How can he be allowed to mess around and lose his head! Everyone is dead. At worst, our general's mansion will hold a funeral for him in the future. in this way!

"The guests are already in place. Now that such an incident is going on, wouldn't it be a joke for the entire Shang capital to see my general's mansion. Don't forget, our Gu family army is not a victorious army today. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. Let's go!"

Gu Donghai sighed: "Jiayi, my life, the life of our Gu family army, was exchanged by Ah Qing and the five hundred soldiers with their lives."

"So what, there is no one who survives a war! Just because it was the son of that woman who died, you treat him differently?"

"Jiayi, that's enough! How many times have I told you that Princess Suihe and I are innocent, why don't you believe me!"

"Okay, I won't argue with you today, but no matter what, this marriage must come true." Jiayi stared at Gu Donghai, and said word by word: "Resisting the order is not respectful, you should know what the end will be."

Gu Donghai turned his head, looked at Gu Yan who had completely collapsed, and sighed softly.

"Gu Ting, take good care of A Yan, the guards of the whole house, obey the order of the major general. This general, I will enter the palace to face the saint."

"What are you doing!"

"I want Ah Yan to do what he wants to do."

The guests who were waiting for the wedding banquet in the front yard suddenly saw the guards of Gu's residence suddenly appearing, tearing down the well-built wedding hall to pieces, and the fiery red Chinese characters "Xi" were also replaced with solemn "Dian" characters.

"This……"

"General Xue of my house died in battle. The Major General ordered that the wedding be cancelled, and a vigil will be held for the Major General. I've spoiled everyone's happiness, and I hope Haihan." Gu Ping bowed to everyone present.

"General Xue? But that Xue Qing who was named a mighty general at a young age?"

"Exactly."

"No wonder, earlier, Xue Qing and the Major General were inseparable. I wondered why Xue Qing was not seen alone on such an important day. It turned out to be..."

"Hey, then Xue Qing, maybe this year."

"It's a pity. I made peace with General Gu earlier and wanted to get married."

"The dead are the big ones. Anyway, it's just a one-time visit. Why don't you stay and pay homage to General Xue?"

"..."

Although Jiayi is the eldest princess, the General's Mansion is not her princess mansion after all. The guards here have all followed the Gu family and his son to the battlefield, and they only obey military orders.

Jiayi was furious, but she couldn't ignore it, so she asked her servants to arrange a carriage and went to the palace to beg the queen.

Gu Yan stayed in the mourning hall for three days.

No matter how much Gu Donghai and Jiayi tried to persuade them, they were unmoved.

Gu Ping knew that the general's mansion was safe and sound this time because the old general gave up his military power and arrived.But a general's mansion without military power, what is it called a general's mansion?

The Major General is now sluggish and feeble, just kneeling in the mourning hall, humiliating himself, not persuading him, he is really worried.

Just when Gu Ping was running around in a hurry, someone sent a letter to Gu's mansion, asking the major general to personally open it.

Gu Ping sent the letter over, and then tried to persuade him a few more words, but he didn't know if the major general listened to it or not.

At night, people come out of the mourning hall.

"Uncle Ping, help me with something..."

After Gu Yan gave his orders, he passed out stiffly and didn't wake up until five days later.

Opening his eyes again, Gu Ping had already settled the matter and explained it to Gu Yan one by one.

After a long silence, until Gu Ping thought he had fallen asleep again, Gu Yan finally reacted.

"Uncle Ping, prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace."

"Major General... I heard that Princess Heyang lost face because of the Major General's refusal to marry, and she cried in front of the Holy Majesty every day. I'm still angry with the major general, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to enter the palace to face the saint at this time..."

"It's okay, Uncle Ping, I just went into the palace to say something to the Holy Majesty. Besides, it's better to apologize to the Holy Majesty in person because of me. At most, he will scold you a few times, it's okay."

Gu Ping faintly noticed that the Major General had changed, his tone was sharp, as if he was suppressing his anger, Gu Ping didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly asked Gu Ting to lead the horse, and entered the palace with the Major General...

Cheng Kangdi looked at the young man who looked like a pine and cypress in front of him.His eyes, which were originally warm as spring, were now covered with frost.

"It's disrespectful to resist the order, and you still dare to come to see me, Gu Yan, you are quite courageous."

"I plead guilty, but before pleading guilty, I still have something to report."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I want to sue Princess Heyang for intentional murder."
