I don't want to play anymore

"Here." Gu Jingyuan pointed out the broken book to him.

At first glance, this book of mental methods simply records several elementary mental methods.

There are many sects in the rivers and lakes, each of which has its own rudimentary mentality, and naturally dismisses what is recorded on it, so there is a catastrophe in Tingsong Villa.

But for Gu Jingyuan...

His meridians were severely damaged, and his internal energy was drained, which was equivalent to being completely exhausted.

Even though Mu Jianzi has dredged [-]% of his meridians, no matter how hard Gu Jingyuan tries, he can only recover [-]% of his previous internal strength.

But the last mental method recorded in this residual book is different.

It is aimed at people like Gu Jingyuan whose meridians have been damaged. There are two big differences between the mental formulas and other types of mental formulas.

Perhaps people who have not been injured at all cannot feel this difference at all.

It will indeed not make those heroes and masters improve their skills to a higher level.

But for Gu Jingyuan, who had already tried many methods, but couldn't break through [-]%, it was a life-saving recipe.

It was also because he had really explored it too many times, so he knew it was what he needed almost just by looking at it.

After hearing his explanation, Long Yanzhao couldn't help showing joyful eyes: "Then what are you waiting for, Ah Yuan, go and try it! I will protect you."

As he spoke, he stood up, and was grabbed by Gu Jingyuan again. Mr. Gu looked at him from bottom to top, his thin and handsome melon-seeded face was undoubtedly revealed.

Said: "The emperor should fry the medicine first."

Long Yanzhao: "..."

Gu Jingyuan said: "I'm not in a hurry for this moment."

He is really in no hurry.

Maybe he will be happy because he has finally found a way, but in fact he has been used to it over the years, even without martial arts.

Anyway, he was not a person who liked to practice martial arts.

The only thing that is more satisfactory is, "It's just that if there are no accidents, my skill can probably recover to [-]%."

Gu Jingyuan looked at the emperor seriously: "It's completely enough."

emperor:"……"

Silently fanning the fire, Long Yanzhao knew that this was Gu Jingyuan's secret reminder to him not to hit that Mu Jianzi again.

... He can always be seen through by Gu Jingyuan at a glance.

The corners of the emperor's lips were tightened into a straight line, and he suddenly laughed again, explaining: "I just sent someone to the Western Regions to find out what that Mujizi is. Please don't worry, I know what it is."

Gu Jingyuan said: "Back then Yang Jin... the reason why he went to the Western Regions to seek medicine was because Brother Rong said that only Muji could save my life."

Facing the emperor's dark and changing eyes, he briefly described the events of the year: "Because the leg was broken for too long, and there were frostbite and trauma, if you don't treat it, you will be in danger. The effect of shaping muscles and bones."

"A wish..."

Long Yanzhao was slightly stunned after hearing this, but his expression was the same as before. He nodded and said, "In this way, I should really thank Yang Jin."

"Your Majesty." Gu Jingyuan looked directly at him, and said seriously, "I mean, I don't have to worry about my life now, and any risk to my life is unnecessary..."

"I understand." The smile on Long Yanzhao's face deepened, he stretched out his long arm, and rubbed Gu Jingyuan's slender waist with his big hand.

Seeing that Gu Jingyuan was still worried about this matter, he simply said: "I assure you, I will not do anything dangerous, and I will not send others to do it."

After speaking, Long Yanzhao wanted to smile bitterly again.

His wish is good for everything, but he loves to worry too much, and loves to think about others too much.

Of course, this does not mean that Gu Jingyuan is a bad person and likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

He's just too smart.

Guo Hui Yiyao.

Because I am too smart, I can always see through others and see the future at a glance, so I can't help but think more, think more, and then start worrying.

And because I think too much, I can't let myself go day and night, and I can't sleep peacefully.

Before the fire, Long Yanzhao suddenly took Gu Jingyuan's hand again.

The opponent's palms are dry, the finger bones are long and thin, and the roots are as lush as green, easy to touch.

Rubbing back and forth on the other's slender knuckles, Long Yanzhao said: "Oh, wish you see, I'm holding you."

Gu Jingyuan raised his eyes and looked at him puzzled.

Long Yanzhao smiled at him and said: "From now on, I will hold you by my arm, always walking with you."

So don't worry about what I will do stupidly.

And don't worry that I will never return like Yang Jin did.

Don't worry that I will leave you and betray you.

……

Of course, Long Yanzhao didn't say anything later.

Gu Jingyuan is an extremely smart person, so there is no need for him to say such a simple thing.

Master Gu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he lowered his eyes.

The light of the fire reflected on his cheeky face, together with the light-colored thin lips, it was a little more gorgeous.

Gu Jingyuan didn't speak any more.

He didn't take that hand back either.

The medicine was finally ready, Long Yanzhao drank a bowl of medicine impatiently, planning to go to bed and rest quickly, so that he could set off early tomorrow.

The remaining medicine can be put into the water bag, which saves the trouble of boiling medicine every day.

Before going to bed, Gu Jingyuan suggested: "Your Majesty, let's ride on horseback tomorrow."

From here to the north, you can ride a fast horse in three days.

But if you take a carriage, I'm afraid it will take seven days.

Long Yanzhao fell silent, carefully thinking about the pros and cons.

In fact, from the perspective of warfare, there is really no rush to go back.

The best generals and soldiers are all in the north, and nothing major will happen without him.

If he was in a hurry, he was also worried that he would miss a good show to avenge Ah Yuan.

The reason why he asked the shadow guards to prepare a carriage was because he already knew that Gu Jingyuan didn't like riding a horse now.

At the same time, I don't want Ah Yuan to suffer.

Of course, there is still a little bit of selfishness... The space in the carriage is airtight, and there are only two people... He is willing to let him and Ah Yuan ride in the carriage for a lifetime.

……

Suddenly pulling back the thoughts of flying around, Long Yanzhao said: "It's not impossible to ride a horse, it's just Ah Yuan's body, behind you... can you ride a horse? If I had known that daylight should be restrained, alas! "

The emperor let out a heavy sigh and regret, and Gu Jingyuan's complexion also turned red a little bit.

He suddenly turned over, facing Long Yanzhao with his back.Said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission, then I will set off on horseback tomorrow."

Long Yanzhao: "..."

Turning his head to look at Gu Jingyuan's slender back, he heard Master Gu's cold voice again: "I have to hurry tomorrow, sleep, Your Majesty."

"..."

In the darkness, Long Yanzhao didn't dare to speak anymore.

Gently twirling a strand of Master Gu's long hair with his fingers, he couldn't help but feel thankful that there are so few rooms in the inn in this small town, so the two of them had to live in the same room.

If not, will I be kicked out again?

... anyway.

Long Yanzhao pretended to be asleep for a second, then stretched out his arms and pulled the man into his arms.

A hug is a night.

The following group of people rode horses and rushed to the north in less than three days, arriving at Santong County, the county where the northern palace is located.

Under the leadership of Long Yanzhao, the Dayi Army was like a steel knife, directly smashing into Bei Rong Nan Jing.The main army is now stationed in Beirong, and Santong County, as the base camp of the Dayi Army, seems a little deserted.

But deserted also means tranquility.

It is obviously a place of turmoil that has often experienced the baptism of war, but because of the protection of the camp outside the city, it looks extremely harmonious and stable.

Gu Jingyuan didn't expect that he would return to this place after many years, and this place has not changed at all compared with the past.

He has two memories here.

The first part is when he came to play with Long Yanzhao when he was young.That was only sneaking over occasionally, but it became one of the few times he had related to rebellion.

The second part is the years of recuperating in the camp of the Dayi Army...

It can be said that it has a deep connection with this place.

……

It is a pity that they did not revisit the old place to visit the northern palace, nor did they stop in Santong County.

Because the destination is not the big camp outside the city, but has poured deep into the belly of Beirong—the location of the main military camp in Jingping City.

It takes half a day to ride fast horses for the next part of the road, and at any time they may encounter soldiers from Beirong who come to make a surprise attack, so the whole group walks low-key along the way, with a vigilant look on their faces.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and smooth, and no accidents occurred until they reached Jingping City.

Breaking through the guards of the army, Gu Jingyuan followed Long Yanzhao into Jingping City.

Although it was the Beirong City that was occupied by the Dayi Army, Long Yanzhao had issued a strict order not to kill civilians or captives wherever the Dayi Army went, so the city was as quiet as Santong County, You can even see civilians in Beirong uniforms appearing on the streets and living as usual.

"Today's Beirong king is not very popular among the people." Long Yanzhao drove his horses to go side by side with Gu Jingyuan, and explained to him: "The reason why I was able to attack so quickly has a lot to do with many Beirong troops disarming and surrendering." .”

Gu Jingyuan nodded silently after hearing this.

Although Beirong people are generally upright and brave, they are brave and good at fighting, but the royal family of Beirong has been extravagant and corrupt in recent years, and the people have also seen it in their eyes.

It has not been a day and a half that the royal family has been unpopular with the people, and it has already appeared in the middle of the reign of the previous Beirong king.

It is estimated that the new king today is not capable of solving this problem.

"Integrity is not easy to deceive." Gu Jingyuan said: "If you want soldiers to live and die for it, as a monarch, you must always make a corresponding gesture and return almost the same reward in order to strengthen the hearts of the people."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Long Yanzhao, who was beside him in a handsome and handsome manner, straddling his horse with a tall head, and couldn't help but add: "This is what the emperor has done very well."

Long Yanzhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his eyes were full of spirits: "So Lord Hou is praising me?"

Gu Jingyuan said sincerely and implicitly: "I'm just telling the truth."

He will arrive at the barracks soon, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he should also pay attention to his words and deeds, Gu Jingyuan resumed his previous title in the court.

It's just that at this time, he took off the bright red court clothes when he was in the court, and changed into a black one for the convenience of traveling.

Most of the time when he was in court, no one had seen Mr. Gu like this.So Gu Jingyuan followed Long Yanzhao into the camp at first, and among the generals who came to pick him up, all those who had met Mr. Gu in Beijing were all stunned.

The dark cloth wrapped his thin figure, and Gu Jingyuan's waist was still tied high.

The red marks on the browbones flickered coquettishly, and the peach-blossom eyes with water-cut pupils were bright and beautiful.

……

"See Your Majesty."

"See Hou Xiangyang."

After being dazed for a while, when Long Yanzhao dragged Gu Jingyuan all the way to the top of the camp, the generals quickly came to their senses and knelt down on one knee to salute.

Among the generals who attacked, there were three or four people who had met Gu Jingyuan in the capital.

Others were local garrison generals who had never met Gu Jingyuan before. Hearing that this was Xiangyang Hou, Qi Qi was taken aback and did not dare to delay, saluting with the others.

Half kneeling on the ground, everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

——This is the legendary Xiangyanghou?

——How did the emperor find him?

——Hou Ye seems to be different from when he was in Beijing two years ago.

"Let's all be flat." The emperor said.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." All the generals below responded.

Their attitude towards the emperor is extremely respectful, even if they have doubts in their hearts, they only dare to hide their comments from their eyes.

These generals are all military commanders, who have been tempered in the battlefield for a long time, and they are full of blood, so they were not so respectful in the first place.

Only a year ago, this young emperor in their eyes subdued everyone present with his strength.

——Who has ever seen the emperor put on armor and go into battle in person as soon as he arrives here, not to mention fighting with flesh and blood, and every time he is the one who rushes to the front?

In this way, after every battle was over and the troops were withdrawn, the emperor would still be restless when he returned to the camp.He looked at the map, lined up in the sand, and spent the whole night cooking oil with lamps, discussing tactics.

It is shameful and embarrassing that none of them, rough and tough guys, can carry this young and handsome emperor who actually looks a bit thin and tender.

They often had to alternate with each other to discuss tactics with the emperor.Sometimes I can change three people in one night, which is even more difficult than being an ordinary soldier on a night watch.

But I have to say that the emperor's efforts have never been in vain.

The Dayi Army is indeed in a state of unstoppable momentum.

In addition, although the emperor is young, he is more ruthless and cold-blooded than they can imagine.

He was never stingy in rewarding meritorious ministers.Correspondingly, the military order is like a mountain, if anyone violates the military law, no one will tolerate it.

More than once, the emperor had executed soldiers in public for ignoring military laws and bullying Beirong civilians.

Under this strict system, the Dayi Army's reputation spread far and wide, even in Beibei.

If not, how could there be so many Beirong soldiers willing to defect, what's more, they even opened the city gates to welcome them into the city?

The emperor seems to be born to be an emperor.

The dignitary couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and bowed his head to him.

When all the ministers bowed down, Long Yanzhao took his seat, and Gu Jingyuan stood in the first place on his left.

At this time in the entire camp, Gu Jingyuan had the highest status and the largest official position, and he was not at all awkward standing there.

But Long Yanzhao still felt uncomfortable, something was wrong.

Sitting there with no expression on his face, tapping the back of the chair with his fingers subconsciously, Long Yanzhao listened to the latest battle situation reported to him by the generals below.

"As expected, the King of Beirong sent troops to attack us from the southwest and northwest. Fortunately, the prince of Guangping had already prepared and led people to ambush us."

"Well, well done." Long Yanzhao said so, and then asked: "How many soldiers and horses are left in the battalion now? What about the Beirong side, have you estimated it?"

The following people answer in detail one by one.

Because the emperor is the kind of person who pays attention to every detail and cares about every detail. The generals who have followed him for a year are also well aware of this and never dare to be careless.

They could answer whatever the emperor asked, so that Long Yanzhao could grasp all the information quickly and accurately.

"I got it." Long Yanzhao said in a low tone, "Go and do your work separately. If there is something to do later, I will send someone to invite you alone."

"Yes!"

All the generals dispersed, only Gu Jingyuan remained unmoved.

The generals who were not familiar with him couldn't understand why Mr. Gu didn't move, but those who had witnessed the scene of Xiang Yanghou in Beijing were not surprised.

——Who is that, that is Xiangyanghou, the emperor's teacher!

"So Your Majesty has been away for so long this time, so he went to ask Lord Hou to come out of the mountain?" The general who was selected by Long Yanzhao from the imperial army and brought to Beidi touched his chin.

"Ah? Although this Xiangyanghou is a star of Wenqu, it is not impossible to fight without him, right?" The general who the emperor personally promoted from the soldiers here a few years ago expressed his puzzlement: "Besides, our momentum is just right, and we don't need to fight without him." Wen Quxing, right? If His Majesty doesn’t leave, it’s estimated that the capital of Beirong would have been taken down by now!”

Another local general also said: "Yes, I really don't know what His Majesty is thinking."

"Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond our grasp, so let's do our own thing." A middle-aged general with a simple and honest face said.

But the local general couldn't help but said: "However, should I say it or not, I heard that this Marquis has a handsome appearance before, but now that I see it, it really looks like a fairy descended to earth... Tsk tsk."

"Bold! I don't want to kill you!"

Another general from the Forbidden Army hurriedly said: "What is the identity of Marquis, and you dare to criticize him? You didn't see the way His Majesty looked at him when he just came in... Don't say I didn't warn you, Your Majesty used to It is especially taboo for someone to talk about Lord Hou behind his back, you can decide for yourself!"

"Hey, you don't have to be so nervous."

The general of the forbidden army who spoke first said: "When I followed General Huo before, I dealt with Lord Hou. He is a very approachable and reasonable person. Even if His Majesty gets angry and wants to punish us, Lord Hou will not agree. But Liu Bold, there are a few of you, I can tell you in advance, if you dare to criticize Lord Hou in the future, even if the emperor can't hear you and kill you, then I will not spare you!"

A few of them were chatting here, and some of them didn't make a sound, but they were all focused on Gu Jingyuan who suddenly appeared.

Among them, the most exciting one is Shadow Eight.

He had put on the military uniform a few months ago, and was arranged by the emperor to practice on the battlefield as a vanguard officer.

So this time I did not go to Jiangnan with His Majesty.

His Majesty's whereabouts are mysterious, but as Xiao Ba, who is responsible for delivering news to His Majesty every day, he knows exactly where His Majesty is.

He guessed that His Majesty left here suddenly to find Master Gu.

But he didn't expect that Lord Hou came back with His Majesty!

This made Yingba very excited.

Just now in the camp, he couldn't help looking at Lord Hou all the time.I just feel that I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Master Hou has indeed become different from before.

It's not that his appearance has changed - Master Hou's appearance is still the same, it really hasn't changed at all.

It's because he was hiding from the world before, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes, so he always lowered his eyebrows and kept silent.

Just now in the camp, Lord Hou didn't speak, but Ying Ba felt that something had changed!

It seems that Hou Ye finally stopped his low-key appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

It seems that his eyes are much clearer than before, and more radiant...

Yingpachi couldn't describe that feeling either.

But anyway, it would be great if Lord Hou could come back!

In the tent, after everyone had left, Long Yanzhao got up personally and pulled Gu Jingyuan to the seat he had just sat down on.

Pressing Mr. Gu on the large chair, the previously expressionless emperor finally smiled again.

"As I said, I felt something was wrong. I feel much more comfortable now."

"What's wrong?" Gu Jingyuan asked puzzled.

Long Yanzhao didn't say that he could no longer see Gu Jingyuan standing under him, but just poured a cup of tea for Mr. Gu himself: "Ah Yuan is tired, drink some water first."

There were only the two of them in the camp at this time, and Gu Jingyuan took the cup of tea without any scruples.

He has been on the road and has no time to drink water. He is indeed thirsty.

Halfway through drinking, seeing Long Yanzhao looking at him anxiously, he put down his teacup, intending to pour a cup for the emperor as well.

Unexpectedly, the emperor stretched out his big hand, picked up the teacup that he had just put down, and drank the tea in it.

"It's quite sweet." Long Yanzhao said.

Gu Jingyuan: "..."

The chair is narrow and can only sit one person.

Gu Jingyuan was pushed to sit there, and Long Yanzhao could only squat to one side, and squeezed Master Gu's legs by the way.

Gu Jingyuan was extremely uncomfortable.

He was also afraid that someone would come in suddenly, so he hid several times, but unfortunately he didn't dodge.

"What do you think, Ah Yuan, about the situation they reported just now?" The emperor asked with an upright face.

Gu Jingyuan could only reluctantly answer: "It seems...it is beneficial to Dayi."

"Well, I think so too." Long Yanzhao said: "But later I still want to go to the southwest to support King Guangping. Old General Zhuo is getting old, so I can't keep him in front. How does Yuan feel? ?”

"Okay." Gu Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand wars. You are much better than me, so you don't need to ask me."

"Master Hou is humble." Long Yanzhao laughed, showing his white teeth, "I don't know how powerful Ah Yuan was before?... But it's okay if Ah Yuan doesn't want to take care of this matter, just treat it as a Accompany me. After all..."

As he said that, he moved his hand up dishonestly again, and directly touched Master Gu's waist. The emperor suddenly approached Gu Jingyuan with a handsome face, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Master Gu is my medicine."

"emperor……"

The hot air between the nostrils sprayed on the ears, suddenly generating a heat wave.

Gu Jingyuan was so excited that he turned his head away subconsciously, but he didn't know that his extremely beautiful side face was also very tempting to someone.

Long Yanzhao was feeling distracted, but suddenly another burst of loud crying came from outside the camp.

The voice was sharp and piercing, there was more than one voice, and it sounded like it belonged to women and children.

"Why are there women and children in this barracks?" Long Yanzhao suddenly stopped.
