Chang'an Fu

Li Yu and Yang Ruqing were driven by Gu Huai to help Gu Da in the kitchen. Li Yu was very happy to complete Gu Huai's orders. Although Yang Ruqing was unwilling, she was forced to obey Gu Huai because she couldn't beat Gu Huai.

After the two left, Gu Huai's previously smiling expression immediately turned serious, and he asked

"You guys must not be here just for food!"

It's not that he doubts their motives, but that he knows Guo Ye too well

Seeing that Gu Huai said so clearly, Guo also didn't intend to hide it, but now he just nodded and admitted it.

"Now that the Xiongnu and Mongols are jointly attacking Bianliang, the border has been broken. In the past two days, they have even attacked the city. It will not take a few days, and the surrounding cities will be attacked by them one by one."

Gu Huai was not surprised when he heard this, but just looked at Guo Ye lightly, motioning for him to continue.

"You know about it?"

"I don't know, but I guessed it!"

Guo also nodded in understanding and continued.

"I entered the palace this morning and wanted to ask the emperor to allow me to lead troops to the border to resist the Huns and Mongolia, but..." Guo also paused when he said this, he was a little embarrassed

"It's just that the emperor asked you to come to me and wanted me to lead the army!"

Guo also nodded

"It's so difficult for you to say this, no wonder he doesn't want to tell me!" Gu Huai seemed to have guessed something when he thought of Li Yu's actions before.

"Huh?" Guo also didn't understand what he said.

"It's nothing." Gu Huai shook his head, "I don't think you have made up your mind to come to me?"

Guo also sighed, "Planting flowers and cooking tea, and growing old with one person, I know you have thought about this kind of life for a long time, the second prince is really very caring, this place is well chosen, I can't bear it, and I don't want to see you live again the old days"

"Then why are you here again? Presumably you are here because a part of your heart wants to persuade me!"

Hearing that Gu Huai saw his thoughts so thoroughly, Guo also fell silent, and he opened his mouth slowly after a while.

"Yang Ruqing told me that the country is ruined and the family is in trouble. He thinks you don't want to see this scene, and I think so too! That's why I'm here!"

"Hahahaha" Gu Huai suddenly laughed, "As expected of my brother, Gu Huai, who grew up with me, he knows me very well!"

"But the emperor treats you..."

"We just want to fight the war, just drive those outsiders out of our territory, I don't care about anything else!"

Seeing that Gu Huai was still the same as before, Guo didn't know whether he should be happy or worried. He didn't want to agree because he knew that Gu Huai would definitely agree without his persuasion, but he couldn't bear to see the people displaced.

"The second prince over there..."

Mentioning Li Yu and Gu Huai's eyes flashed a little pain, he knew that Li Yu must also be unwilling

"Don't worry, I'll talk to him!"

"That's good!"

"It's you, you should like Miss Xiao!" Gu Huai originally didn't want to care about this kind of thing, but since he was with Li Yu, he began to be sensitive, so he asked a lot.

"What do you say whether you like it or not? I am going to the battlefield. I dare not even think about the future! She is a good girl, and it is not her fault that her life is miserable, so she should marry a good man!"

After hearing Guo Ye's words, Gu Huai didn't reply anymore. No one can tell what happened on the battlefield, let alone other people's feelings, he can't say too much.

"What are you talking about! Still standing here! It's time to eat!" Seeing that they hadn't come to the lobby yet, Li Yu thought that they might still be in the front yard, so he came over to ask them to eat

"Here we come!" After answering, Guo also quickly walked to the lobby

Seeing him like that, Li Yu whispered to Gu Huai, "He seems to have seen it all at once!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what you said seems like he wants to see through the world and become a monk."

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Yu to go out alone.

"That's not what I meant!" Li Yu yelled from behind and quickly followed Gu Huai's pace

This meal was the same as usual, spent while Yang Ruqing pampered Gu Da, the difference was that everyone seemed to have their own concerns

After the show ended, Gu Huai dragged Li Yu back to the room very early

Li Yu was curious about his abnormality, "What's wrong with you?"

"Do you know why Ruqing and Guo also came today?" Gu Huai asked solemnly

"Isn't it just for food?"

"The emperor sent them here!"

Li Yu, who originally wanted to be sloppy, became serious when he heard this.

"So you know everything?"

Gu Huai nodded, "This is what you wanted to hide from me before! Can you show me what you hid now?"

Li Yu took out the note hidden here from his cuff and handed it to Gu Huai, staring at Gu Huai's face anxiously, like a child who did something wrong

"The Huns have already broken Red Leaf City?!" Gu Huai was shocked when he saw the contents of the note.

"You do not know?"

"Before, Guo only said that they broke the border."

"It must be the news of these two days. My information is earlier than the imperial court!"

Gu Huai looked at Li Yu. Li Yu seemed to be afraid that Gu Huai would get angry. He stood opposite Gu Huai without saying a word. Looking at him like that, Gu Huai didn't know what to say to Li Yu before. where to start

In the end, the two of you just looked at me and I looked at you. After watching for a long time, Gu Huai said

"Zihuan, I have to go!"

Li Yu closed his eyes from the moment he spoke, as if he was waiting for the verdict to be pronounced. Although he guessed what he would say, he was still suffocated when he heard it.

"I don't want you to go, but I know you will go! That's why I don't want you to see this letter, even if it takes a day. In fact, I don't want you to go, except because the battlefield is too dangerous, and It’s the last time you were beaten into Dali Temple, I don’t want it to happen again, me!”

Li Yu became more and more excited when he spoke, but when he said the last word, he restrained himself again, and continued, "I can't bear any possibility of losing you."

Gu Huai stood up from the bed and hugged Li Yu, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive from the battlefield. As for Chaozhong, I believe that you can protect me well, and you have been doing it, haven't you?"

He said, stroking Li Yu's back like comforting a child, "Trust me, you will need me someday."

Li Yu stretched out his arms to hug Gu Huai's back, and said softly, "I've always needed you."

"I know, but what I'm talking about is not Gu Yanping, but Gu Huai, the Great General of Zhenbei"
