The first male queen [crossing]

On the inner street below the city tower, eighteen riders guarded the bodies of Jingbianhou and his wife while breaking through the heavy encirclement of soldiers.

A few people were injured because their two fists were too difficult to beat four hands, but they still persisted.

The sound of Gu Junci's horseshoes came from far to near, and after shouting to convey His Majesty's oral order, the sound of fighting stopped. Everyone put down their weapons and knelt down to greet them. Only the eighteen riders stood upright, protecting Jingbian Hou couple's body.

After dismounting from his horse, Gu Junci went directly towards Shibaqi, stood in front of them, and said with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty ordered that the eighteen riders can bring back the bodies of the Marquis of Jingbian for burial, but the eighteen of you must be disarmed and returned to the fields, and you will never set foot in the Central Plains."

The eighteen riders all looked at each other, some couldn't believe it.

Gu Junci clasped his fists at them and said silently, "Brother Xu is safe, don't worry."

The person in the lead understood the shape of Gu Junci's lips, and immediately bowed deeply to Gu Junci, and then waved his hand to signal that the person protecting the corpse followed his footsteps. After the city gate opened, there was only a sound of horseshoes It rang, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Gu Junci nodded his head and sighed softly. It turns out that there are really people in this world who can give up their lives for one person, even if it is a corpse, they would give up their lives to take it back.

As a soldier, Gu Junci knew how honored it was to meet such a subordinate.

But just as he turned around, he met Xie Suiyun's gloomy face: "As you wish, everyone who should go has gone."

Gu Junci shook his head: "No, what I wish is for everyone to live well, Jingbianhou and his wife don't deserve to die."

Xie Suiyun didn't talk to him anymore, and could only watch him walk past him, get on his horse, and go back to the military camp outside the city.

Xie Suiyun looked back at Gu Junci's leaving back, clenched his fists, and murmured: "Why...why you just can't be with me."

After the Battle of Hanyang Pass, the emperor no longer had the intention of patrolling the border, so he had to decree to return to Luoyang, to pull out the camp on the same day, and leave Hanyang Pass together with the Lanling Xiao family's barracks.

It was the God of War Temple in Zhuozhou again. At this moment, two teams of troops had already been stationed. The bonfire was burning very vigorously, and the patrolling soldiers did not stop for a moment.

Outside the God of War Temple, Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan stood side by side, looking up at the vast sky, dotted with a little starlight, with insects singing and birds singing, accompanied by a few fireflies, it was very pleasant.

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at the people around him and said, "Are you still going to Langya?" Gu Junci nodded: "Well, the adoptive father has already sent someone to Langya to pick up the princess and brother Lu and the others back to Luoyang."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, and then asked: "You, what do you like?"

Gu Junci was a little puzzled: "What do you like?"

With a sincere expression, Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and thought about it, then shook his head: "Forget it, it's nothing, I'm thinking about when we can see each other again after parting ways."

Gu Junci folded his arms and let out a long sigh: "We will meet again if we are destined, at worst I will be free in the future and go to Lanling to find you."

Xiao Yuan nodded, and immediately took off the jade pendant he was carrying from his waist and handed it to Gu Junci: "You gave me the sword spike, and I gave you the jade pendant. Let's make it even."

As a result, Gu Junci took a closer look at the jade pendant and tasted it: "This jade pendant is of good quality, I like it, and it belongs to me. You are not allowed to go back."

Xiao Yuan raised his lips slightly, staring at Gu Junci who was happily raising his eyebrows after receiving the gift, the tenderness in his eyes was comparable to the night, and the delivery was silent.

Afterwards, Gu Junci seemed to have thought of something and quickly raised his head to look at Xiao Yuan, and asked earnestly, "Xu..."

Xiao Yuan hurriedly answered: "He's fine, but losing his parents is really an indelible pain for him."

Gu Junci bowed to him: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Yuan's eyes fell on the place where his neck was cut by the porcelain vase, his eyes were wrapped in gauze, so he couldn't see the wound, but when he heard about it, he was really worried.

"In the future, even if you are acting, you should take care of yourself." Xiao Yuan said.

Gu Junci was a little puzzled, then touched the gauze around his neck, and then said with a smile: "If I am not injured, who would believe it, anyway, just get through it safely."

The moment of worry that flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, after all, no one could catch it, and finally it could only be turned into a word of cherishing.

After Zhuozhou and Lanling Xiao's army separated, Gu Junci followed Linyang King and the others and went back to Luoyang directly. Civil and military officials welcomed the emperor back to the palace at the gate of the city, and then accepted the worship of all officials. The tossing was over. It's the end of time.

While waiting for Gu Junci and King Linyang to leave the palace, they saw Lu Qingxuan guarding the gate of the palace from a long distance away. He was dressed in purple, guarded by attendants and carriages, very eye-catching.

After seeing King Linyang coming out, he respectfully bowed to King Linyang, and then his eyes fell on Gu Junci, a little unbelievable:

"Brother Gu, I heard from my father that you became the Thirteenth Taibao of King Linyang, so it is true."

Gu Junci pursed his lips and closed his eyes, and nodded solemnly at Lu Qingxuan, which made Lu Qingxuan very happy, but because of his status, he could only hide his joy in his heart.

Fortunately, Linyang Wang patted Gu Junci's shoulder and said: "I think Mr. Lu still has something to say to you, you can go and return to the palace later, and I will introduce other elder brothers to you." know."

Gu Junci and Lu Qingxuan hurriedly bowed to the King of Linyang, and after watching them leave, Lu Qingxuan happily pulled Gu Junci into the carriage and went straight to the Guose Tianxiang Garden in Luoyang City.

Guose Tianxiang Garden, as the name suggests, is the place where the most peonies are planted besides the West Garden of the Imperial Palace.This is a viewing place opened by rich families in the city, and various rare and precious varieties of peonies are planted for the appreciation of students and princes of aristocratic families.

In the Guose Tianxiang Garden, there is also a restaurant. The best chef in the world is in the palace, and the best cooks are in the Guose Tianxiang Garden.

Therefore, this place is the best place for those rich and noble families to spend their leisure time, especially at the Peony Fair right now. No matter how good the peony flowers are outside, they can’t compare to enjoying them in the Guose Tianxiang Garden.

Fortunately, Lu Qingxuan was the son of Wei Guogong, when he learned that Gu Junci and the others were going back to Luoyang, he booked an elegant seat here, on the second floor, and happened to be able to enjoy the peonies in the garden, which was very worthwhile.

Gu Junci, who was seated, kept looking at the peonies in the garden. Because of the different varieties of peonies, the postures of the blooming flowers are also different. Such a noble and elegant figure is worthy of attention.

Lu Qingxuan personally poured tea for Gu Junci, and said with a smile: "How about it, it looks nice here."

Gu Junci nodded again and again: "There was once a poem that said: The peony in front of the court is invincible, and the flower on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful, and the flowers move the capital when it blooms. I didn't have much feeling before. Only when the peonies in the garden are competing to bloom can I appreciate the grand scene described in this poem."

Lu Qingxuan nodded agreeingly: "It's natural. The peony scene in Luoyang is famous all over the world, so I decided on a position here to celebrate Brother Gu's entry into an official position, and also served as the Thirteenth Protector of the King of Linyang. In the future, I will be able to rise steadily."

In response to Lu Qingxuan's compliment, Gu Junci smiled and raised his teacup to touch him lightly, and drank it down in one gulp: "Tea instead of wine, I respect you."

Lu Qingxuan finished his tea, and then said: "Speaking of which, it's a pity for the Jingbianhou family."

Gu Junci remained silent, but kept his eyes on the peonies in the courtyard and the butterflies flying among the flowers, feeling the breeze in the hallway, calming down the resentment in his heart.Lu Qingxuan: "My father often said that it is really not easy to meet a wise ruler who governs the world."

Gu Junci quickly looked around and said, "You are not afraid that the walls have ears."

There was a bit of helplessness in Lu Qingxuan's smile: "Brother Gu, don't be afraid, my father is not powerful in the court anyway. If he didn't have the name of Wei Guogong, no one would take him seriously. He often said that he has a It's a pity that there is no room for the slightest bit of room for the ability to govern the world."

Gu Junci sat upright, raised his eyes to Lu Qingxuan in front of him, and comforted him: "It's okay, when I get rich in the future, I will cover you."

Lu Qingxuan looked directly at Gu Junci, leaned closer and said seriously: "I'm serious, I will hold your thigh in the future and not let go, you will be completely covered."

Gu Junci smiled mysteriously, and poured tea for Lu Qingxuan himself: "No problem, I'm sure I'll cover you well."

The gloom in Lu Qingxuan's smile swept away, and then he said: "Speaking of which, this Xie Suiyun has also obtained a rank, why does he seem unhappy looking at him, is it because you stole the limelight?"

Gu Junci thought for a while: "I probably didn't see the princess."

Lu Qingxuan: "Not necessarily. When he was in Langya Flower Temple last time, he was angry with the princess and left. After he came back, he didn't seem to care about the princess so much."

Gu Junci showed a sad face, and scratched his head very puzzled: "Then why did he still target me so much? In the palace, I was the princess's shield. I can understand him targeting me, but you say, me and Xiao What is the Second Young Master's closeness hindering him, I still can't figure it out."

Lu Qingxuan also shrugged helplessly, expressing that he didn't understand, but from the side of his head, he saw a few people coming from the garden.

The one who walked in the front with his head held high was not Xie Suiyun, but behind him, the one who was very courteous was Zheng Guogong's son Wang Yuanjing, who seemed to be introducing something for Xie Suiyun.

But Xie Suiyun stopped in his tracks, raised his head and looked towards the surrounding attics.

It happened that they met Lu Qingxuan's eyes, and Lu Qingxuan was so frightened that he immediately turned around and sat upright.

Gu Junci, who grabbed some snacks and stuffed them into his mouth, looked at Lu Qingxuan's appearance, and couldn't help but wondered: "What are you looking at, you're so scared."

As soon as he finished speaking, he also turned his head and looked towards the garden, just in time to meet Xie Suiyun's look of bitterness and hatred.

For a while, he was gnawing on his snack and didn't know what to do. He was thinking about whether to say hello to Xie Suiyun, what if he came up after saying hello, Lu Qingxuan was afraid of him.

But if you don't say hello to him, will this Xie Suiyun hold grudges and settle accounts after the fall.

However, Xie Suiyun didn't move, just looked at the attic where Gu Junci was, as if waiting for him to greet him.

After Gu Junci swallowed all the snacks in his mouth, he raised a smile and waved to him. The next moment, Xie Suiyun said a few words to Wang Yuanjing who was beside him, and the group of people left the garden.

Only then did Gu Junci breathe a sigh of relief, thankfully Lu Qingxuan escaped unharmed.
