In August of the first year of Yuan Shuo, Xiao Yuan, King Qing of Daliang, led the strong soldiers of Daliang Dynasty and headed towards Fufeng Xue family.

Previously, the Fufeng Xue clan invaded with troops, and was beaten back by Xiao Yuan once, but the situation was not stable at that time, and the Fufeng Xue clan had a deep foundation, so it could not be shaken in a short while, so the last time it only repelled Xue Shi, return to Fufeng.

Afterwards, the Fufeng Xue family recruited troops, which seemed to be the most dangerous hidden danger around Daliang.

Therefore, when Xiao Yuan mentioned that he had obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and when it was time to rule the world, the Xue family of Fufeng should be the first to calm down.

On the tower, Gu Junci reluctantly watched the army go away, and when the only team disappeared from sight, he sighed and said with some dissatisfaction:

"He just walked away, and he didn't say goodbye to me."

"General Gu, don't sigh. I heard that His Royal Highness King Qing spent the night in your general's mansion last night. This morning he went directly to the palace to receive the imperial decree and left the city." Liu Shuxian stood beside him and patted him. shoulder, looking at him solemnly.

On the other side, Han Yanling closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Gu Junci said in a panic, "How do you know?"

Liu Shuxian said: "Brother Han and I originally wanted to go to Prince Qing's Mansion yesterday, and tell His Highness King Qing what I saw and heard in Fufeng these years, but unexpectedly we didn't see His Highness returning to his mansion when we were in Fufeng. The servant came to report that His Royal Highness King Qing is in your general's mansion, and he came back to pick up the clothes to be worn today."

Gu Junci turned his head and glanced at Han Yanling again, and he nodded solemnly to express his agreement.

Gu Junci hurriedly explained: "We are just drinking together."

Han Yanling patted him on the shoulder and said, "General Gu, we know that you and His Royal Highness King Qing had a close relationship when they were in Lanling, but this is the first time I know that you are so good that you can sleep on your feet. I am in admiration."

Gu Junci pursed his lips, not knowing how to explain to them.

Although he and Xiao Yuan are indeed determined to be together right now, such feelings cannot be told to others openly, so facing the ridicule of these two people, he can only sigh and blame everything The relationship with them was good before.

In September of the first year of Yuanshuo, the sky in autumn was gray and the clouds were low, but it didn't rain.

Gu Junci was seriously injured when chasing Xie Zichong in Jinling before, and then he was injured due to excessive grief, so he has been recuperating at the mansion.

On September [-]th, the crown prince and Princess Rong'an got married, and the wedding of the prince and princess was celebrated happily in Chang'an City. Even some royal relatives left behind from the previous dynasty were elated because Princess Rong'an became the princess. I no longer see the shrinking energy that was seen when the dynasty changed hands.

The wedding banquet in the Eastern Palace can be attended by officials of the fifth rank and above, and Gu Junci is naturally included.

Looking at the red gauze curtains all over the East Palace, he actually had a bit of longing.

Just as Gu Junci was thinking, this Xiao Yan, accompanied by his attendants, came to socialize. After drinking with those tables of royal relatives, he should be a courtier of the Daliang court now.

Holding a wine glass, Xiao Yan stood in front of Gu Junci, with a smile on his face, and he said: "General Gu Zhishugang saved the lives of me and my father at the time, and he was my benefactor. Now I should marry my benefactor. have a drink."

Gu Junci just smiled, and was stopped by Xiao Yan just as he was about to drink.Gu Junci was a little puzzled, but Xiao Yan looked at him directly, with a bit of hatred in his eyes, but still with a bit of a smile on his face, he said:

"I heard from the Crown Princess that on the eve of the royal father's gift of marriage, you went to her and told her not to marry me, but to marry you. General Gu, do you think this happened?"

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yan with a calm expression. Hearing that some people had started whispering to each other at the silent wedding banquet, he couldn't help but hooked his lips and said: "If His Royal Highness wants to pour wine into my ministers, I will drink it. Just be happy to accompany your colleagues, why bother to say unnecessary things, it doesn't matter if I'm a man, but it's not good to ruin the reputation of the Crown Princess."

Gu Junci replied with a few laughs, and Xiao Yan's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, but finally he could only laugh loudly:

"General Gu saw through Bengong's thoughts so quickly, but he really has exquisite thoughts. The general said it himself, but he must drink them all to the ground."

Gu Junci also smiled with him, and after drinking three glasses of wine, he sent away Xiao Yan who came to provoke trouble.

However, there were more and more courtiers whispering, and more and more people looked at Gu Junci, and some even started talking about the past between him and the princess with a voice he could hear.

"I heard that General Gu fell in love with the Crown Princess when he was the Jinwu Guard in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and even fought with that Mr. Xie Suiyun from the Jingzhao Xie family."

"Isn't it? Look at his appearance. If he wears a skirt and jacket, he will be no different from a woman."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you, he kills people without blinking an eye, be careful when Prince Qing comes back, and tell His Highness Prince Qing to clean you up."

"Bah, I have His Royal Highness the crown prince covering my head, so I'm afraid of a King Qing. Don't you know who the crown prince is?"

…………

The voices of these discussions kept coming and going, and Gu Junci pretended not to hear them, drinking wine with the courtiers at the same table.

Naturally, Han Yanling and Liu Shuxian came with him, although at first the banquet was arranged according to the official position, but in the end, after the people at the banquet changed a few times, these two people sat at the same table with Gu Junci.

Han Yanling poured the wine for him and said: "General Gu has the courage to be a man who can't be opened up, but he doesn't care about those who gossip."

Gu Junci looked at him and smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, looked up at the circle of people looking at him, and smiled arrogantly and charmingly: "I, Gu Junci, was born between heaven and earth, Never live in the mouth of the people, they are nothing, even gossip about me is sneaky, look who dares to say a word in front of me, a bunch of cowards, it is not rare for me to do it, maybe someday The knife cut off their tongues."

As soon as this remark came out, those whisperers also sat and drank separately, and stopped whispering with others.

Gu Junci smiled and continued to drink with others, not paying attention to what those people said.

However, he also understood that what Xiao Yan said to him tonight, and the rumors that spread among the courtiers so quickly, I'm afraid it was the former princess and the current crown princess who made the ghosts in the morning.

I just don't know why she did it.

After the banquet was over, the night became colder and colder. Gu Junci closed his clothes, and heard the voices of the two adults Han and Liu behind him, and hurriedly stopped. They temporarily proposed to walk to the general's mansion and continue drinking.

"Brother Gu."

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, the three of them were talking and laughing as they were about to enter the gate, when they heard a soft call from the dark.

Gu Junci hurriedly stopped and turned around, looking at the figure who stayed under the lamp, he was thin and thin, and even his face was two or three times smaller, so thin and invisible.

He stepped down the steps in surprise, and rushed towards Lu Qingxuan: "Brother Lu, Qingxuan, why did you come to Chang'an, what happened!"

Lu Qingxuan stretched out his hand to hold Gu Junci's arm, with grievance in his eyes, but when he was asked with concern, tears rolled down his eyes immediately, he held Gu Junci's arm tightly, choked and said:

"Fan Yang has fallen...they are all gone."

Gu Junci looked shocked, but seeing Lu Qingxuan's appearance, he didn't care too much, and directly brought Lu Qingxuan into the mansion.

The two of Han and Liu saw guests coming to the General's Mansion, so they naturally understood that they might have to drink the wine tonight, so they didn't enter the mansion, so they bid farewell to Gu Jun and left the General's Mansion.

Because of the cold autumn, Gu Junci also hurriedly ordered the kitchen to make some light and warm snacks for Lu Qingxuan to fill his stomach first, and Lu Qingxuan also told Gu Junci what happened to him in detail.

At the beginning when Jinling failed in the bid to pass on the imperial jade seal, after Lu Wenyuan returned to Fanyang, because he did not tell his subordinates, he exchanged Jinling City for the concubines who had helped him in the court, which caused his subordinates to be very dissatisfied.

It would be fine if the concubine kept her own place in Fan Yang, but the concubine of the previous dynasty relied on her own good looks to point fingers at Fan Yang's affairs, thinking that Lu Wenyuan's officials did not respect him enough, and felt that they were once reckless and thieves. , will definitely become Fan Yang's scourge in the future.

Under the instigation of the two parties, Duan Yuntian, the former owner of Poyun Villa, left Fan Yang.

Lu Wenyuan originally wanted the concubine not to intervene in political affairs, but unexpectedly, the concubine was looking for death and life, forcing Lu Wenyuan to have no idea, and even planned to have a good relationship with Lu Wenyuan and become pregnant, so as to threaten Lu Wenyuan to seal her be queen.

For the sake of the child, Lu Wenyuan agreed to her request, but unexpectedly those soldiers who followed Lu Wenyuan to conquer the world were unwilling.

Duan Yuntian was once forced to leave Fan Yang because he had no name or status. If he really became a queen in the future, wouldn't he force Duan Yuntian's loyal courtiers to death.

Lu Wenyuan naturally knew that these brothers who fought against him could not give up, and he also understood that the existence of the concubine would destroy the relationship between them, but because she was pregnant with her own child, it was impossible for her to have a child when she was old.

Lu Wenyuan also balanced the two sides, but he didn't want the concubine to slander Lu Qingxuan for being jealous of the child in her womb who would seize the country in the future, and Lu Wenyuan didn't investigate for a while, and made Lu Qingxuan kneel in front of the concubine's palace. The tiger generals under him left one after another.

Knowing that Fan Yang had no more generals to fight, Yuan Rende of the Yuan family in Chen County led his troops to join forces with Wang Jianzhang of the Wang family of Luoyang to annex Fan Yang and all the land under his command.

The concubine also died in the war. As for Lu Wenyuan, under the protection of Lu Qingxuan and Meng Chengye, he came to Chang'an to join Gu Jun and resigned.

After listening to Lu Qingxuan's words, the candles on the table were also crackling, Lu Qingxuan's eyes were red, and Gu Junci's face was also solemn.

"Since you came to see me, what about your father?" Gu Jun asked.

Lu Qingxuan wiped his tears, looked up at Gu Junci and said: "My father thought it was a bit embarrassing to come to you, and he has been living in the inn, but he has no money recently, and he fell ill again. He asked the doctor to come to you during his spare time, Brother Gu, I know I shouldn't cause you trouble, but I... can't see my father die of illness."

Gu Junci nodded and smiled, rubbed Lu Qingxuan's head and said: "You can remember me when you need me, which means that I am still useful. I once accepted your love, and today I should take care of you. Trouble, which inn is uncle at, I will pick him up."

Lu Qingxuan looked at Gu Junci gratefully, and after telling the inn where Lu Wenyuan lived, he went out with him to pick them up.
