The first male queen [crossing]

Gu Junci quickened his pace and walked towards the stone steps. Seeing the man bowing to him, he hurriedly returned the salute.

"When we parted ways in Jinzhou, I didn't expect to be able to meet Mr. Gu in Chang'an. It's really fate." After Chang Shan returned the salute, his eyes fell on Xiao Yuan who was walking towards them, bowing respectfully. present.

Xiao Yuan: "This is..."

"Ah Yuan, this is Chang Shanyi Chang Daoist from Poyun Mountain Villa in Jinzhou Prefecture. Later, they went to Fanyang with Master Duan." Gu Junci said hurriedly, and when he said this, he looked at him suspiciously. He said, "By the way, isn't this Fan Yang jointly occupied by the Yuan family and the Wang family? Why did the Taoist priest come to Chang'an?"

The Taoist priest said: "After leaving Fanyang with General Yan and General Xu, the poor Taoist traveled all over the world. He heard that the first master was practicing here in Taoshan in Chang'an, so he wanted to visit the master. He saw the tombstones of the master and son after the Taoist temple. That's why he wanted to come here. Chang'an City, meet Young Master Gu."

Xiao Yuan saw that the two of them were so acquainted, so he hurriedly invited the Taoist priest to enter the mansion.

When old friends meet, things are different, and the Taoist priest and Gu Junci talked for a long while, Xiao Yuan stood by and took Gu Junci's smiling faces into his eyes one by one.It seemed that he hadn't seen Gu Junci's smiling face for a long time, it was clean and pure.

Gu Junci personally poured a cup of hot tea for the Taoist priest, and said earnestly: "Recently, our Daliang is recruiting soldiers. I knew that Taoist priest, you are not only proficient in Qimen Dunjia, but also the art of war, especially Brother Meng's at the end. I really admire the arrangement that one man should be the gatekeeper and ten thousand men should not be opened. Daoist Chief, A Yuan still needs a military advisor, I wonder if the chief is willing to stay in the army and assist A Yuan."

"If you talk about the use of Qimen Dunjia and the art of war, Mr. Gu is also a master." The Taoist chief stroked his beard and smiled, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuan, "The Second Highness is extraordinary, and Pindao is very willing to follow the Second Highness, but Pindao has been in Fan Yang before, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Yuan said: "Don't worry about it, the Taoist priest, I have everything, and I ask the Taoist priest not to be disgusted, but to support it all the time."

Chang Shanyi looked dignified, seeing Xiao Yuan saluting solemnly towards him, hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "His Second Highness favors him, and Pindao will naturally do his best to help Second Highness get what he wants."

Gu Junci sipped his tea, thinking about the addition of the Daoist now, and after inquiring about the whereabouts of the other people, he felt a little regretful, now they are wandering in this troubled world, and they don't know how they are doing.

Both Yan Huai and Xu Yanqing had friendship with Gu Junci before, although at first he thought it was best not to meet each other on the battlefield, but in this situation, he really wanted to fight side by side with them.

After the Taoist priest was placed, Gu Junci walked with Xiao Yuan on the corridor back to his courtyard.Walking in the hazy moonlight, listening to the insects gradually appearing, accompanied by the breeze, it is very pleasant.

The dark red clothes were swinging, which was in stark contrast to the black clothes next to him. Gu Junci walked with his hands behind his back. He had never heard Xiao Yuan speak during this journey, so he couldn't help but walked a few steps quickly and stopped in front of him, staring straight at him. Looking at him intently:

"A Yuan, are you unhappy?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "No, seeing you happy makes me happy."

Gu Junci pursed his lips, but still raised his lips and smiled brightly: "To be honest, the moment I saw the Taoist priest, I felt like I went back many years ago, and went to Jinzhou Mansion with my [-]th brother to investigate the case , I met Brother Xu, and received your gift when I went back to Luoyang, it was great."

Xiao Yuan stared at Gu Junci's eyes, saw the tears gradually welling up in his shining eyes, stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms.

Just before Gu Junci had difficulty in choosing friendship, but after seeing Chang Shan and the other elders, when the past came to mind, Xiao Yuan's appearance was very clear, he was reluctant to part with anyone, so how could he part with Xiao Yuan.

Since the past can't be kept, and the future is still the future, then why doesn't he grasp the present, whether he will go back to Xuanji Kingdom in the future, now that he is in Chang'an, in Daliang, he has to live here and love the people here.

"A Yuan, A Yuan..." Gu Junci called softly.

Xiao Yuan embraced him quietly, only responding one by one.

Suddenly, Gu Junci raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, looking at him with some puzzlement: "Why don't you go back to your house? Since you came back from Fufeng, you have been making all kinds of excuses to stay with me for seven days. Live here, don't you want the palace?"

"No more." Xiao Yuan shook his head.

Gu Junci let out a chuckle, turned around and walked to his room: "That's not acceptable, you have to pay for your food and living here, otherwise I can't afford to support you."

"Then how about this, you live in the palace, I can support you." Xiao Yuan said.

Gu Junci stopped and turned around, looked at Xiao Yuan's serious appearance, raised his lips and smiled, his heart was clear and open.

Tomorrow must be a good day.

Ever since Xiao Yuan proposed to unify the country, Xiao Jue got an errand to recruit soldiers. In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-March, but the number of soldiers Xiao Jue conscripted was very small, no more than one to two thousand soldiers.

When he reported back to Xiao Boxu, he only said that the country is not stable and it is not easy to recruit troops. He didn't want to be impeached by the admonishing doctor, saying that he had withheld military supplies and that the military pay was not enough.

Although Xiao Jue argued, Xiao Yan also helped to speak, but the unification of the country was imminent, Xiao Boxu naturally would not listen to their explanation, and directly returned all the powers of conscription to Xiao Yuan, and let him handle it by himself .

Xiao Yuan, who got the order, immediately ordered Yang Junfang and Huo Situ to go to conscription with their order talismans.

Although Gu Junci also wanted to help, but for the upcoming war, Gu Junci's Jing'an Army was joining forces with Xiao Yuan's troops, plus the soldiers and horses dispatched from various state capitals, such a complicated situation The army still needs to be trained, and Gu Junci is naturally inseparable. After receiving Xiao Yuan's military order, he has been training in the barracks.

Originally Xiao Jue couldn't recruit soldiers, but Huo Yang and his two recruited [-] new soldiers under the banner of King Qing in less than ten days. Such news spread to the court, which really made Xiao Jue feel ashamed. It was a big fire.

On April 20th, Xiao Boxu issued a decree with the jade seal of passing on the country, and named Xiao Yuan the general of the world's soldiers and horses. He led [-] elite soldiers from the girders and dispatched troops to Chang'an to fight for the unification of the country.

In the summer of May, Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci led troops to station on the south bank of the Yellow River, waiting for the opportunity to send troops.

At night, the bonfires in the barracks were burning very vigorously. Soldiers on patrol walked through the barracks, and the sentries on the barracks stood upright and waited in line.

The full moon hung high in the sky, and the halo of the moon was extremely gentle. Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan sat on the big rock in front of the camp, looking at the high full moon, whispering.

Xiao Yuan said: "The Song family in Luzhou is the weakest among these aristocratic families. My plan is to conquer the Song family in Luzhou first, then cross the Luo River, take Luoyang, and attack Chen and Sui counties. .”

Gu Junci looked sideways at him and said, "I think it's feasible."

Xiao Yuan looked into his eyes, lowered his eyes and meditated for a while, and then said: "Jun Ci, my spies reported that he saw General Yan and Brother Xu in Luoyang City."

Gu Junci stood up in surprise, a little unbelievable: "Why are they in Luoyang? Could it be that they were captured?"

Xiao Yuan said: "That's not true. I heard from my subordinates that Wang Jianzhang had a daughter besides his son Wang Yuanjing. After Wang Yuanjing died, this daughter became Wang Jianzhang's entire hope. I also heard that in the future Luoyang I am afraid that the Wang family business will be inherited by the son-in-law."

Gu Junci was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully: "Could it be that my twelfth brother, or Xu brother, wants to inherit the Wang family business?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "He said that Wang Jianzhang's daughter got married a few years ago, and now she is pregnant. As for Wang's son-in-law, he has never seen it. He heard that it is the old man of Fan Yang, surnamed Duan."

"Surname Duan?" Gu Junci's eyes lit up, "Could it be Duan Yuntian, owner Duan?"

Xiao Yuan smiled without saying a word, just pulled him to sit down.

Gu Jun said: "Speaking of it, it would be great if Brother Xu, my twelfth brother, and Brother Wu could join your command. In this way, there will be a few more powerful generals, and it will be easier to fight many."

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes and meditated for a while, then said: "Although we have 20 troops in our hands, there are still many new recruits, and the integrated troops still need to be adjusted. In this way, I want Brother Huo and Brother Yang to stay for training. Firstly, it is to strengthen the combat power, and secondly, we still don’t know the reality of the Song family in Luzhou, so we need to investigate more.”

Gu Junci was a little puzzled: "And then?"

"Call the Taoist priest, let's go to Luoyang, go see your twelfth brother, and inquire about the reality of Luoyang by the way."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's proposal, Gu Junci felt very happy, and agreed after a little thought, but then encountered another difficulty:

"This Luoyang...I'm pretty familiar in Luoyang, what if I'm recognized?"

Xiao Yuan stared at Gu Junci's eyes, cunning flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to be calm and said: "Junci is unparalleled in appearance, you might as well pretend to be a little lady and husband and wife with me, so that you won't be recognized when you enter the city. "

Gu Junci looked straight at Xiao Yuan with a serious expression: "I think you are teasing me."

Xiao Yuan pursed his lips, turned his head to cover his lips and coughed lightly to hide his smile, and quickly shook his head: "This is the safest method."

"If I want to pretend to be you, at worst I won't go." Gu Junci snorted softly, got up quickly and walked straight to the barracks without waiting for anyone.

Xiao Yuan nodded and smiled, looked at his leaving back, and hurriedly chased after him.

Unexpectedly, in front of the gate of the camp, he saw the Taoist priest with a dignified expression. After meeting the two of them, he said seriously:

"Second Highness, General Gu, I have something to discuss with you two."

Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan looked at each other: "Teacher, tell me."

The Taoist priest looked solemn, and after thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Pindao heard that the owner and General Yan are in Luoyang, so the poor Taoist thought that they are all good fighters, and they must be helpful to the Second Highness, so I want to ask Second Highness begs for orders, go to Luoyang to persuade them to come and seek refuge with Second Highness, and contribute to the unification of this world."

Xiao Yuan looked a little surprised, then smiled and said: "Master Dao, I happened to mention this matter with Junci just now, and I am also planning to go to Luoyang."

"The Second Highness is going to Luoyang too?" The Taoist priest was a little surprised.

Gu Jun resigned: "Yes, he will go too. Since he wants to recruit Brother Xu and Brother Twelfth to join his army, it is natural that he should respect the corporal. If he comes forward in person, maybe they will be moved by sincerity and join A Yuan. .”

The Daoist was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Since the Second Highness and General Gu are also going, so, Pindao will start to make arrangements."

"It's a labor of love, Daoist." Xiao Yuan said.
