Rebirth of the First General

Unhandy weapons can take some advantage.

Gu Jiayi squinted his eyes and looked up. In the distance, Lin Yu was still standing under the scorching sun, slowly shaking a folding fan in his hand, looking calm and unhurried.Gu Jiayi raised the corners of his mouth as if his heart was on fire, "Okay, what do you want to use?"

A gleam of joy flashed in the man's eyes, he took out a gun, and praised Gu Jiayi: "So confident!"

Gu Jiayi calmly took out a gun, and the red tassel hung on the sharp blade, reflecting a red reflection, like the color of blood red.

Other wooden platform weapons have begun to collide.This was the first round of the third round. Everyone was full of energy because of the temporary break at noon and the supplement of food. Their strength seemed to have reached its peak, and the field became tense in an instant.The way for these people to resolve their tension is to attack, and the weapons in their hands burst out of the air with a swift and fierce posture.

The gangster opposite Gu Jiayi also came in the same way. Gu Jiayi blocked it with the body of the gun, smiled at the gunman, and walked up to the man, pinching his neck.

One move, win.

It was really luck to win this time, firstly, the opponent was not strong enough, and secondly, this person was too excited because of the weapon, so he didn't react all at once, otherwise, I'm afraid it would still take a lot of effort.

The next opponent has not yet been decided, Gu Jiayi got a chance to rest temporarily, Hou stood aside, looking at the fifth wooden platform according to the ranking.The one who wins there will be his next opponent.

60 people left 30 people, and then 15 people were taken in the next [-] years, and then [-] people were taken out of [-] people, and then from [-] people to the last game.Calculated in a row, there were as many as five games.

In the second round, Gu Jiayi's opponent was a taciturn person, which showed his calm temperament, and his hard sword made it extremely sharp. Gu Jiayi fought for a long time before he won this round.

At this time, many people are in a somewhat exhausted state, but there are also a few who are still full of energy.The burly man Gu Jiayi met in the previous melee had a relaxed expression on his face, because neither of his opponents was too strong.

Fifteen out of eight, one person has a bye, but it's a pity it's not Gu Jiayi.He met the strong man, saw that the other party excitedly picked up a big knife, smiled wryly, and walked around the weapon rack, finally took an iron rod, weighed it in his hand, and then walked slowly onto the wooden platform .

The burly man glanced at the iron rod, tightened his grip on the big knife in his hand, and said happily, "You are also very strong!"

Gu Jiayi smiled wryly, and said in his heart: Brother, I'm afraid you will be disappointed!

On another occasion, Gu Jiayi would definitely satisfy this brother's wish, not to mention a hard fight, even three days and three nights, but this is a martial arts test, not a fun.There is no such thing as despicable or despicable, everything has its weight and severity, Gu Jiayi is only able to weigh the importance of these things clearly because of his inner maturity.It is a long-term regret if you make everything come to nothing for a momentary play.

"Here we come!" Gu Jiayi shouted, swinging his stick forward!

The two of you came and went with dozens of strokes, the strong man broke through with force, very fierce, Gu Jiayi's arm was cut open, but his eyes became more and more calm!

It's time, the iron rod whizzed towards the opening, and it was about to hit the head of the strong man. The man swung his hand and narrowly blocked the iron rod. Gu Jiayi twisted his wrist, and the sword was turned sideways. side.

The iron rod slipped from his hands, Gu Jiayi used his hands as pincers, and swiftly withdrew the big knife from the man's hand.

With one free hand, he caught the falling iron rod and met the brow of the strong man.Winning so chicly, Gu Jiayi couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling, flying freely.

The brawny man shook his head, looked at the iron rod that was almost scraped off with a layer of iron filings by the big knife, and said repeatedly: "I lost, I'm afraid of losing." Then he glanced at Gu Jiayi who was smiling brightly, "Remember to please I'm eating, let's compete next time!"

Because this strong man's natural strength is comparable to Gu Jiayi's level, if he plays a few more games, the result is hard to say.

Gu Jiayi patted him on the shoulder, "If you have ambition, join the army!"

The burly man grinned at him, and the two of them put their shoulders together, and walked off the stage in harmony.

Eight out of four, the strong man applauded Gu Jiayi from the audience.

Taking two out of four, Gu Jiayi had another injury on his arm, and after dressing it up casually, he continued for the last game.Sweat dripped down almost drippingly, and the clothes were already wet, revealing the obvious outline of the skin.

Du Xiuqi was followed by soldiers carrying warm water, Lin Yu held a folding fan in one hand, and a porcelain white medicine bottle in the other, followed by a military doctor who happened to be a veteran in the army.

In fact, in the last battle, neither of them had much strength. At this time, they were fighting with perseverance. Gritting their teeth, maybe the person opposite would fall down.This time Gu Jiayi chose the big sword. Compared with his opponents, he actually has no advantage. Many people think that young people have better strength, but in fact, young and middle-aged people are really strong.

Even if you just look at the sweaty clothes, the situation of the person opposite is much better than that of Gu Jiayi.But the man was worried, since Gu Jiayi first used the knife, then the hard sword, and finally the knife, this was the first time that Gu Jiayi used a big knife.Swordsmen have always been the king of weapons, and are most suitable for brave men.Although perseverance is important at this time, if the opponent strikes first, perseverance is nothing!

Gu Jiayi put aside his weakness and held his old buddy in his hand, his momentum changed suddenly.

The previous brawny men used their swords to break through their strength, but Gu Jiayi's sword made the sword come out of the flesh and blood, with a condensed murderous aura and a biting coldness.

Fifteen strokes, the broadsword rested on the opponent's neck, made a shallow mark, but the blood flowed out.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the victory has been divided.

The man jumped off the stage clutching his neck, Lin Jue stuffed the medicine bottle in his hand to the old military doctor, and went to help Gu Jiayi by himself.

The burly man who went up the fastest was stunned for a moment when he looked at Lin Zhen, who was dry and sweaty and incompatible with them, Gu Jiayi grinned and called, "Senior brother!"

Gu Jiayi put his hand lightly on Lin Jue's shoulder, his excitement made him forget his stinky sweat, and Lin Jue didn't care.On the contrary, the strong man was watching from behind, and the strange feeling at the beginning was gone, and he felt that there was an inexplicable harmony between the sweaty Gu Jiayi and Lin Yu.

Wiping sweat, changing clothes, applying medicine, and leaving the martial arts gym, within a quarter of an hour, just caught up with the slowest group of people.

Lin Jue watched Gu Jiayi push hard at him, waved his hand, frowned and nodded his arm, telling him to pay attention to the injured place.

The door of the martial arts hall closed, blocking the line of sight.The people waiting outside the door already knew the progress of the competition by the sound of gongs and drums. On the shaft of the cyan tung oil tung cart, Gu Ye sat on it with a straight face, and at a glance, he saw Gu Jiayi whose hair was still a little wet, father and son They looked at each other and smiled.

In the East Palace, a large piece of rice paper was spread out, and Lin Yan swiped ink on the paper, outlining the outline of a human figure with three or two strokes. With the fine strokes, a handsome man stood on the paper with his upper body.

Baxi took a sneak peek at Gu Jiayi being drawn on the paper, couldn't help scratching the Jiubao in his hand, making it scream and jump onto the table.

As if seeing the appearance on the paper, Jiu Bao spread out his four paws and imitated the figure in the painting, revealing his white, tender and slightly pink belly.

Baxi looked at it and smiled: "My brother is still the cutest."

Lin Jue glanced at Jiubao's belly, then moved his gaze to Gu Jiayi's well-defined abdominal muscles, and tapped a few strokes to count them as beads of sweat.

Open the painted rice paper and put it aside, and draw the second one.This picture shows Gu Jiayi turning around and kicking against Tianwei. The posture is very beautiful, the legs are long and straight, as if through that movement, you can see the bulging and strong leg muscles.

After drawing this picture, Lin Zhen blew on the picture, remembering the essay test paper tomorrow, Gu Jiayi's frowning expression vividly appeared on the paper again.

Doing the same questions as those Wen Juren, I feel a little sorry for those Wu Jinshi.

☆、Chapter 60

The next day, most of the sixty people lined up into the martial arts hall with sad faces and black eye circles.The thin civil servant in a blue official uniform looked indifferent, but in his heart he was not optimistic about these people who stayed up late to read, so he couldn't help but sighed slightly, and handed out the examination papers.

Gu Jiayi sat at the first table in the first row, first column, and there was an empty area directly in front of him. The light through the cracks of the window hit the dust in the air. Its whereabouts were difficult to determine, but it refracted colorful lights. , For a while, people are unaware of foreign objects.

After being dazed for a while, Gu Jiayi opened the examination paper.Yellow paper with three paragraphs on it, there are only three questions to do.

The literary test of Wu Jinshi is different from the autumn test of literati. Their last test is often to check their simple writing ability.Of course, if one or two generals can be detected, that would be a surprise.Although the number of questions in the exam paper is the same as the last one of the autumn exam, the difficulty is quite different in everyone's perception.

Therefore, when Ming Shenchu ​​proposed to use the same examination paper, several university scholars thought he was crazy, so he made such an outrageous decision.Lin Yuyou remembered Lin Yuanwu's puzzled expression and the unconscious look in his eyes. He thought he was Jiang Qing back then, and would he explain all other people's schemes to him?

Lin Yu naturally knew that Mingshen made this suggestion in order to arouse the estrangement between civil and military officials.Comparing the two sides of civil and military, even if Lin Yu is not proficient in martial arts, he will not underestimate the importance of the existence of force. Otherwise, if other countries call, will he reason with others?Literati may destroy a country with one word, but they only rely on human power. In the calculation of people's hearts, they use one side to destroy the other.

But what's the benefit of Zuo Xiang by stimulating the barrier buried under the surface?His position among the literati is aloof, but among the warriors he is just average, far less famous than Gu Ye's many efforts to promote the improvement of the Ministry of Industry's equipment.

But at this moment, Gu Jiayi never imagined that the questions on the examination paper were the same as those of the literati.He wrote a few words on the manuscript paper, then stopped again, pinching the pen holder to worry.

What he asked of himself was never to make the articles colorful, but to set up novel topics and write in a regular manner.Without enough background and accumulation, it will only be a joke to cobble together a fancy article; It will be a dazzling existence.

But these few questions right now are obviously too difficult. They are long and short sentences cut out from the Four Books. They look decent, but the meaning of the questions is difficult to understand.Gu Jiayi pondered for a while, the manuscript paper was completely black before he began to transcribe.

Looking at other people, there are many people who stare blankly, but it is better to write than not to write.For a while, no matter whether they will or not, they all emptied their minds, wishing to pour a few sips of ink on the spot to make the articles they wrote more colorful.

In the quiet room, the examiner in Tsing Yi nodded his head when he saw the picture, and felt extremely pleasant listening to the sound of ink on the pen rubbing against the paper.

At noon, the heat permeated the outdoors, and Gu Jiayi, who was sitting in a corner, loosened his collar and concentrated on writing.There were gurgling sounds around, but no one moved.

Wu Jinshi's literary examination can be handed in at noon. In previous years, people were almost gone at this time.But now there is no one to go first, and those who are hungry and have no dry food have no choice but to endure hunger, write hard, and scatter ink as if to vent their anger.

After another hour, one person got up holding the dried paper, and one after another people left with a relieved face.

It took a lot of time for Gu Jiayi to write it on the manuscript paper and then transcribe it, and he didn't leave the martial arts hall until mid-afternoon.At this time, there were not many people outside, only the tung tree car with the blue curtain of yesterday was still not far from the entrance of the martial arts hall.

There is no outsider to inquire about the martial arts department all the year round. The big tree that looks like the sky stretches its branches and leaves, casting a shadow on the ground, and the carriage stops under the tree, which is full of green colors. Feeling cool and refreshed under the head.

"Come on, let's go home."

In the light gap of the tree shadow, Gu Ye rushed to Gu Chiayi and waved.Perhaps the light and shadow are too mottled, and the greenery is too abundant. Gu Jiayi will remember this scene many years later.

On September [-]th, the Nine-Tianqiu Exam passed, and all the Juren masters who entered cleanly came out of the examination room in sloppy suits.Those who go home go home, those who go back to the inn go back to the inn, and after taking a bath, they sleep in the dark.

It wasn't until September [-]th that I was shocked.

The scholar with a kerchief on his head frowned looking at the essay questions on the market. At this moment, he just felt that he had misremembered the questions.Asking his friends, he tremblingly asked in disbelief: "The last game we did, were these three questions?"

The person next to him raised his head and looked, "This is it, it appeared so early this year, how did you solve this last question?"

The scholar replied blankly: "This is the examination question for Wu Jinshi this year."

"Did you read it wrong?"

The scholar spread out the booklet, "Look for yourself, it came out three days ago."

This scene is not limited to the scholar.The civil and military competition is held every three years, and those who come out later will inevitably have to look at the examination papers of those in front. Even though the difficulty is incomparable, it is also a great comfort.But this time, it surprised many people.

The autumn test that countless scholars pay attention to, this year's question maker actually played such a bold one.

After being shocked, countless scholars sympathized with the martial arts Jinshi who came this year. It’s fine if they can do martial arts, and they have to do the same perverted questions as them; when the time comes, they will be taken to one place for comparison, won’t they lose face? ?

If this incident was just a small undercurrent among the juren scholars, it was like a huge wave among civil and military officials.

Countless Qin faction officials rushed to the Grand Master's mansion like a tide, and returned home in panic because of Qin Taishi's closed door to thank guests.It's just that the news of Prime Minister Zuo's proposal came out in private at some point, which made many people visit Mingshen's Prime Minister Zuo's mansion again.

Ming Shen can be regarded as the most daring and arrogant among the literati, his complexion turned pale due to poor rest, and there are also thick shadows under his eyes.Facing a group of noisy civil servants, there was a cold light in his eyes.

He raised his thin lips lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "I have memorized the names of all your lords, and I will tell the Holy One later that you have a lot of opinions on the questions he asked."

When these words came out, many people looked at Mingshen who was seated in a daze: Didn't your housekeeper let us in?

A daring person asked: "Didn't your lord let us in to explain the new exam questions? I heard that your lord is the one who created the questions?"

There was a smile on Mingshen's face, which made the man's back feel cold, and then Shi Shiran said, "If you hadn't blocked the entrance of the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister would care what you do! Mingyuan, see off the guests!"

The noisy place became clean in an instant, Mingyuan drove people back, and whispered to Mingshen: "Master, the heating is perfect this afternoon, why don't you sleep in again."

Mingshen's expression was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and asked him, "Has Tian Wei been kicked off stage?"

Ming Yuan nodded, glanced at Ming Shen's face, and said, "It's the son of the Right Prime Minister's family."

Mingshen sneered, but the sneer was much warmer than before, "It's not a scholar who can't pass the exam, it turns out that people like the Tang family are good at martial arts, so don't be fooled by Gu Ye."

After a while, Mingyuan went down, and Mingshen said: "If Aran is here, our child will soon be that big."

The setting sun goes down, and the rising sun climbs up, and it is another day.Under the stone steps in front of Zhengyang Palace, many officials were discussing in small voices.The place where the civil and military officials stand is very clear.Gu Ye looked at his brother-in-law's black face, stroked his beard, and followed the sound of footsteps to the hall.

Mingshen seemed to have been ignited. As soon as Lin Yuanwu finished speaking, he stood up.

"I have a book to play!"

Lin Yuanwu paused, as if thinking of something, frowned, and said, "Ming Aiqing, tell me."

Mingshen stood up and gave a long speech, pointing out one by one who ran to his house yesterday and blocked the door, from disturbing people's livelihood to gathering literati, and finally talking about disrespecting the emperor.Eloquent, more than a thousand words.

His tone was cold, and he had nothing to do with Hong Liang, but his slightly hoarse voice was so convincing that even the officials who came to the door that day had the urge to doubt themselves when he spoke.

Lin Yuanwu just nodded. Zuo Xiang was irritable for no reason every year at this time of year, and other people who knew about the past also lowered their heads silently, not getting involved.

Gu Ye glanced at Grand Master Qin across Mingshen standing in the hall, feeling puzzled.Most of the officials who were accused were of Qin Taishi's lineage, indicating that there was Qin Taishi's overt or covert guidance behind him. At this time, Ming Gentleman, the emperor always had a little more patience, and the two parties were calculative, so they must be at a disadvantage.

Just as he was wondering, a careless little official came out from the back of the hall.

The condensed aura in front of him almost made his legs weak, but the civil servant just slipped some Adam's apples silently, and complained to Lin Yuanwu about Mingshen's being an official.

As many literati respect Ming Liuyuan, so many people are jealous of Zuo Xiang Mingshen.

Mingshen watched coldly, but heard a young eunuch shouting loudly outside the hall: "My lord! The peace letter from the Northern Man has arrived!"

After four or five months, the Beiman envoys had arrived at Xiashan City with their troops and tributes.The official letter before the Heshu was sent to Lin Yuanwu long ago, but the meaning of the Heshu is different from those casually repenting words, it is an extremely formal letter that can be declared to the world.

Lin Yuanwu stood up, his well-maintained body was still muscular, faintly revealing the original domineering, waving his bright yellow sleeves and said: "Present!"

☆、Chapter 61

Through the hands of the eunuch in charge, the peace book was sent to Lin Yuanwu.

He unfolded it for a look, then laughed and slapped the table, his eyes swept across the hall, a kind of long-lost excitement and blood rushed to his heart and chest.When was the last time you were this excited?Is it he who solves those difficulties and ascends to the throne of God?Is he the one who put down the chaotic king and made Da Chu peaceful?

The memory was too far away, and Lin Yuanwu couldn't remember clearly for a while. His eyes finally turned to Lin Yu, and he was a little gentler than before.Different from Jiang Qing's strong aggressiveness, as his parent-child, Lin Yu can be more tolerant, not to mention that Lin Yu is somewhat gentle by nature.But every time he looked at Lin Yu's intelligence, he would immediately think of Jiang Qing's intelligence, as well as himself who was suppressed at the time, embarrassed and powerless, but not happy for a moment on the surface.

He remembered that this agreement was also due to Lin Yu, and then his joy faded a little bit, his eyes were fixed, as if he was concentrating on waiting for others to congratulate him.

Lin Bin and Lin Yu stood facing each other, with Taishi Qin on one side and Gu Ye on the other side.When Lin Yuanwu turned to Lin Jue, it was enough for Lin Bin to see all his expressions and the subtle changes between them.

From joy to indifference, Lin Bin knew that Lin Yuanwu still doted on him as the eldest son at this time, and his heart was still partial to him.Lin Bin stepped forward, with joy in his voice, congratulating loudly: "Congratulations, father, why don't you send someone to greet the Beiman envoys for such a grand event?" .

Lin Yuanwu looked at the expression on his face, cast a glance at Lin Yu, and saw that his expression was calm and he didn't care about anything, so he wanted to agree in a fit of anger.

Mingshen looked at him coldly, feeling that Lin Yuanwu was becoming more and more frustrated, and became more and more stupid year after year.He withdrew his gaze, raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "For a country that has been defeated, how can the crown prince be used to receive it? I just need to look at the eldest prince."

The court officials also understood the matter of the northern barbarians very clearly, and eight out of ten agreed in their hearts.Lin Yuanwu thought for a moment, thinking that it would be very honorable to greet him, and he could train Lin Bin a little bit, so he nodded and sat down.

"For the matter of welcoming, let the eldest prince and the right minister handle it, and the Ministry of Rites can listen to their orders. As for the previous matter, it is just the same exam paper, so why bother?"

"I have a book to play." A man in a green official uniform stood up tremblingly, holding the jade wat in his hand as if it was about to fall.

Lin Yuanwu didn't remember this person, but it was inevitable that he would get angry when someone came out again about what he planned to expose.Therefore, he was dissatisfied and said, "Say."

"In the extreme south of the Yangtze River, the military officials colluded with the mountain people and killed dozens of our civil servants. It was only the anger of civil and military officials. I secretly thought that because of this matter, we could take the examination papers again in autumn, so as to correct our status as a literati at home and in the country."

A person beside him staggered and knelt down on the ground, roaring: "My lord, if warriors can also study literature, what is the use of so many students in the world? There were no such examination papers in the time of the first emperor, and I think this is disrespectful to the holy master! I am a literati!"

The military officers headed by Tang Wei and General Mocheng stood aside and snorted coldly as if they had made an agreement.

The pedantic literati looked as if he had been greatly humiliated, and pointed at them with trembling fingers, "If you dare to do anything above the court, what do you think we are waiting for?"

Mingshen flicked his sleeves, and stood back as if unwilling to take charge.Lin Yuanwu also knew that the situation was serious, so he caught Gu Ye and asked, "How does Gu Aiqing view this matter?"

Gu Ye half lowered his head and said: "I think that you should first punish people to find out about the mountain people in the extreme south of the Yangtze River, and the rest can be decided. The autumn exam has already ended, and many scholars have already finished marking the examination papers of Wu Jinshi. There is no need There will be another wave. I look at the students on the street, and I don't think this is inappropriate, but I look forward to it."

Lin Yuanwu himself was as curious as those scholars, otherwise there would be no need to make such a fuss, he smiled slightly, "What are the opinions of other lovers?"

The kneeling literati was much more courageous than the previous one, he said angrily: "Lord Gu has always been our admiration, but now he doesn't care about our lives, I heard that Master Gu's love son also participated in this martial arts test, could it be Knowing the exam questions in advance, it's a good time to wash away the shame of failing the exam three times before!"

Gu Ye has a gentle temperament, but Gu Jiayi can be said to be one of his rebels, he sneered, "The truth even wrote an article for my stupid son to memorize for him! His writing is not good, do you still have to say half-truth?" Jiang Lang is exhausted! No one dares to say whether the three rounds of the martial arts test were done by myself!"

This is almost calling you an idiot, Lin Yu can almost see the coldness of disgust in his eyes.Thinking of Gu Jiayi being grounded and the chaos this morning, he simply stepped forward and said, "I heard from the grand master earlier that Wu Jinshi's examination papers have been corrected, and when the autumn examination is completed, I will put the good ones on the table." Table case, all adults should taste it carefully, and you must be able to see a thing or two."

Taishi Qin's face turned black, how could he tell Lin Yu about the examination paper being graded.

Three humerus ministers, two prime ministers got angry, and a grand master was almost pulled into the water. Lin Yuanwu hurriedly said: "This matter is according to what the right minister said, and dispatched several generals to check the mountain villages in the extreme south of the Yangtze River. , solve this matter as soon as possible. This year's parade of civil and military champions can also let Beiman see a thing or two!"

He looked at Gu Ye and Mingshen very quickly. After all, they were too busy to worry about the busy political affairs, and said: "My lord, Zuo Xiang, is happy, please don't bother me if you have nothing to do. As for the beloved son of the right, I see He was a good boy.”

Even the emperor praised him as a good boy, who would dare to criticize him!The lord shaking the jade wat helped his companion up. The shrunken figures of the two looked a bit pitiful, but few people cared about them. Everyone looked at Mingshen and Gu Ye who came from the front.

After leaving the main hall, the warm sun shone on her body, but there were still bursts of chill.

"Brother Ming's question is so good, it's enough to startle a river!"

"Not as good as Brother Gu's Ai'er! It's messed up."

The two left with a wave of their sleeves, leaving behind a bunch of eavesdroppers looking at each other.

It was rare for Tang Wei and the other military officers to be in harmony, they didn't even roll their eyes, they just walked past indifferently, and they were a bit more magnanimous than the literati who are known for their demeanor.

On the third floor of an exquisite restaurant in Kyoto, Lin Zhen entered through the back door and went up a room on the second floor along the narrow stairs.

He pushed the door open, and Jiang Qian got up abruptly, but her eyes were still fixed on Jiang Wan, who was flushed and smelled of alcohol.Lin Jue pressed his shoulders and told him to sit down, looking at Jiang Wan who was drinking sullenly, he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Gu Jiayi, who was sitting with him, didn't know what to say. Jiang Wan was a real man. Although he had only known him for a few days, he was a good match.He also knew a thing or two about Jiang Wan and Bei Yuanfei, love words hurt people the most, this is the holy words, the holy master never deceived people.Thinking of this, Gu Jiayi unconsciously poured himself a few glasses of wine, and his body smelled faintly of wine.

When Lin Yu arrived, two wine jars were empty, so he reached out and took the bowl in front of Gu Jiayi, and moved it aside.Facing Jiang Wandao: "You can express your heart to her, so what can you do if you are so depressed?"

Jiang Wan smiled, that look seemed really reluctant, then shook his head and said: "What's there to say, I led people to fight the northern barbarians, and the people on the border of Dachu are lucky."

Lin Yu has always been eloquent, but right now he doesn't know what to say. With his family, country and world in the middle, many things are too light; but in his heart, those things are too heavy.

Gu Jiayi wanted to grab the wine bowl, but was glared at by Lin Yu.

Jiang Qian touched the cloth bag on her chest, as if her bird was still warm.

The mellow wine aroma in the room is intoxicating, making the whole room full of this aroma, making it a bit oppressive for no reason.Gu Jiayi took Lin Yu's hand and walked out.

This restaurant is Lin Yu's private property, and the rear is completely private and safe, so no one will see it.

The chrysanthemums in September are in full bloom under the brilliant golden light, clusters and clusters exude a faint fragrance.The cobblestone road was a bit resting, Lin Yu tightened Gu Jiayi's hand, and the people in front turned their heads, with a disappointed look on their faces.

Lin Yu stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and asked him softly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jiayi looked into his peachy eyes, and said with difficulty: "If we were not together, Your Highness should get married this year; if we were not together, maybe Jiang Wan and Bei Yuanfei would never meet; if we were not together, together..."

Lin Yu was so angry that he pinched it hard, with a cold light in his eyes, "Are you regretting it?"

Gu Jiayi shook his head and tightened his grip, "I'm afraid I might miss His Highness."

He has experienced many, many things that Lin Yu didn't know, and now he has worried about many, many things and their consequences, and made countless assumptions, but finally came through step by step.He knew that the guilt of being a courtier had always been deep in his heart and never really disappeared.

☆、Chapter 62

Jiang Wan was moved by Bei Yuanfei but did not dare to move forward, because he knew that the final answer he could get was rejection, and he also knew that rejection was the best answer for Bei Yuanfei.He didn't want that woman in fresh clothes and furious horse, whipping her whip wantonly to be embarrassed in his heart, so he chose to stay away from her.

Gu Jiayi once buried deep in his heart, besides cowardice and fear, also mixed with the same similar emotions.Until he couldn't let it go more and more, telling himself over and over again just to get a little closer, and then a little closer, and finally hit the road of no return.As if he was on the top of the cliff, he also put Lin Yu on the top of the cliff, allowing him to suffer from the wind, frost, rain and dew, and face the problems that he didn't have to and shouldn't face.

But Lin Yu didn't know anything, he was gentle like the most caring elder brother, paying attention to his every detail, caring about his emotions, like the most caring partner warming his heart.

Gu Jiayi lowered his head and stared into Lin Yu's eyes, the love churning in his heart was like a rushing river, and it was about to pour out in the next moment, submerging Lin Yu in it.

"Ah Chu." I will give you everything I can...

Lin Yu thought he was upset by Jiang Wan and Bei Yuanfei's incident, and wanted to reach out to comfort him, but his hands were bound by Gu Jiayi, and he reached out to pat him on the back, "Brother Guan, let go!"

The baby name is always the most intimate name, and when Lin Yu called it like this, Gu Jiayi felt a burst of shame welling up in his heart.He put a serious face on the floor: "Don't call me by your baby name."

Lin Yu smiled, "Isn't this nice and fluent, at home, Master Gu and your aunt called it like that?"

"They have all changed their mouths and seldom yelled. If they are old enough to be called like children, it would not be shameful." Gu Jiayi said.

"Then I've caught up with the time. I won't be angry if I call you like this in the future. While you are still young, call me a few more years."

Gu Jiayi was quite tall, and he couldn't think of the reason why Lin Yu always felt that he was young, so he was not ashamed to ask, but he hid his thought that he could get some love because of his age, and let him drag him upstairs. go up.

There were some dishes on the table, and Jiang Wan chewed a peanut from time to time while drinking, Jiang Qian's complexion improved a lot, and he sat there eating the rice.

He ate very quickly, one mouthful after another as if he didn't want to chew, and it took only half an hour to finish the two bowls. Then he looked at Jiang Wan worriedly, and said to Lin Yu: "Master, I'm going to deal with Jiangnan. letters."

When Jiang Wan stayed in Beiman, he voluntarily withdrew from the Jiang family's spies.He is still from the Jiang family, but all the burdens on him have been transferred to Jiang Qian, so since returning to the capital, Jiang Qian has also become busy.

On September [-]th, the sky was slightly cloudy and there was a cold wind, but it was a day of joy for the whole country of Dachu.

Maybe the ten-year non-war with the Northern Man will not have an impact on the lives of many people, but the glory and joy still spread in everyone's heart.It is a feeling derived from blood and land. Among those who know the news, even the vegetable farmers on the street are willing to charge two copper coins less to celebrate. They sincerely know that the current stability is maintained by those people.

And the city gate of Kyoto was wide open, and soldiers in armor stood on both sides. Their expressions were solemn, the armor shone with silver light, and their hands were very steady, but under closer inspection, they could see a slightly trembling arc.They have one thing in common, they have all been to Dingbei, fought against the northern barbarians, and were transferred away with regret.

The wind seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and the sun hadn't come out yet. In the distance outside the dark city gate, the sound of horseshoes gradually rose.

The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, like rumbling thunder, overwhelming the sky.The two riders running side by side, one in black and the other in red, stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate.

Lin Bin led a group of people out of the city to greet them, smiling gracefully, leading Bei Yuanchen and Bei Yuanfei into the city.

The eyes of the common people were all focused on Bei Yuanfei in red. The light gauze covered half of her face, revealing her fair face and light-colored eyes. Her jet-black hair was blown up by the wind, black, red and white intertwined, and she was so beautiful.

Tang Kai squeezed his head out from the second floor along the street, and said to the boy next to him: "The envoy from Beiman is a boy and a girl? Marriage?"

Standing behind a group of teenagers, Gu Jiayi looked at Bei Yuanfei's unforgettable long whip, and wanted to tell Tang Kai that he couldn't, but he didn't say anything.

The hustle and bustle of this business disappeared as the eldest prince Lin Bin brought people into the post house, but Tang Kai and the others were still excitedly discussing state affairs.

The person beside Gu Jiayi asked him: "I heard that Brother Gu was lucky enough to go to Dingbei, what interesting things are there in Dingbei?"

Surrounded by curious eyes, Gu Jiayi thought for a while and said: "Baby likes to fight, girls are quick-tempered, youngsters like you like to race horses all over the prairie, cattle and sheep are delicious, and peach blossoms are a bit late. Every family has them." Wolf fur mattresses, and every household has weapons and swords. It seems that there is nothing particularly interesting?"

The young man who asked the question felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, as if the topic was too inappropriate, he shook his head and said, "There is nothing interesting in Kyoto."

Break it apart and crush it, interesting things are interesting because people are interesting, but many interesting things cannot be called funny things.

The widow on the West Street got married, the young lady on the East Street got married ten miles away, an oiran appeared in a building on the South Street, and someone broke into a gambling house on the North Street.

Today this small country has won a battle, but no one knows how many people have died and how many cities have been destroyed; whoever rises up tomorrow, and once he ascends to power, may actually want to be a small commoner, with his wife and children warming the kang, eating and clothing.

Tang Kai interrupted with a smile, "Qiu Hunting is coming soon, do you think the Holy Majesty will let Beiman and others go together, and then we will join in the fun." Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Jiayi with big eyes and a smile , "I heard that my cousin's article is very good. The emperor praised it a few days ago. It seems that he is going to be the champion!"

In these years, the number one scholar at the age of seventeen or eighteen is still a rare thing, even if he is in his twenties, he is still very young.Therefore, at Gu Jiayi's age, the youngsters were startled and made a fuss.

Tang Kai leaned on Gu Jiayi's shoulder and teased him: "The essay test is said to be difficult, but how is Jiayi's writing? Don't be laughed at?"

These are the hot topics in Kyoto these days.The questions of the essay test and the attitude of the civil servants make
