Country is the most important

Pingyang City has been covered in heavy snow. This year's heavy snow seems to last longer than in previous years.The people in the city have already bought clothes and stored them for the winter.

Gao Yan was wearing a black mink coat, standing in front of the door, looking at the white snow all over the sky, his thoughts drifted far away.

"Your Highness, be careful of catching a cold, let's go back to the room and stay." Liu Quan reached out to brush the white snow off Gao Yan's shoulders, and handed him a hand stove.

"Have Ge Cheng and the others come back?" Gao Yan lowered his head and took the stove, and asked lightly.

"We should be able to reach Pingyang tonight."

"I don't know what's going on with Dingyuan now?" Gao Yan turned his gaze to the white sky again.

Both Liu Quan and Gao Yan were silent, and after a while, Liu Quan smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, there are two generals here, and General Tan will be fine."

Gao Yan took a long breath, then let it out heavily, then turned his gaze back and walked towards the room.

------

In the evening, the sky had already darkened.Ge Cheng and Li Zheng came to Pingyang Palace.

"Two generals, I waited for you here. I received your letter in the middle of the night last night. Your Highness got up early this morning and waited for you. Now I have been waiting for you in the study all day."

Hearing what Liu Quan said, the two quickly walked towards Gao Yan's study.

With the sound of the door creaking, the three of them saw darkness.

Liu Quan was startled, then walked quickly into the room, and at the same time muttered in a low voice, "Your Highness~ I didn't say that this old slave is talking about you, this black lamp is blind, why don't you light a lamp?" The candle in the corner was lit, and the room was suddenly bright.

Gao Yan put his hands in his sleeves, raised his collar, and leaned against the couch in front of the desk with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Humble duty to pay homage to Your Highness!"

Hearing the sound, Shicai slowly opened his eyes, "I'm back~" Gao Yan looked at the two people in front of him a little tiredly, then cleared his throat and said, "What's the situation with Dingyuan?"

"When I rushed to Dingyuan, I heard that the Tatars attacked Qingzhou Gate at night. The general of Dingyuan changed his passive defense to an active challenge. Later, after inquiring, I found out that it was General Tan who led the [-] cavalry with him to attack the Tatars."

Gao Yan's eyes were calm under the reflection of the candlelight, "Oh~" "How did Tan Zhen fight Tatar?"

"By the time the humble position arrives, the two sides have stopped fighting and have become a confrontation. It's just that General Tan seems to be injured..."

"How is he?" Gao Yan straightened up, and unconsciously quickened his tone, interrupting Ge Cheng's reply.

"I heard that King Dingyuan arrived in time, temporarily repelled the Tatars, and rescued General Tan."

Hearing the name of King Dingyuan, Gao Yan was inexplicably unhappy.Then he sneered, "Tartar has [-] elite cavalry? How could they be repelled so easily?"

"Your Highness is right, and I think so too, so I stayed near Dingyuan and never came back." Ge Cheng paused, and then said in a low voice, "Your Highness doesn't know, King Dingyuan's confidant general, General Li Dingzhong, stationed in the southwest, led 2 Dingyuan iron cavalry to Dingyuan to support."

Gao Yan's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "So the Tatars were repelled by Li Dingzhong's Dingyuan cavalry?"

"Exactly!"

"The Seventh Brother wants to die, that's not the way to find it." Gao Yan snorted coldly.

"This Li Dingzhong must also be eager to protect the lord. He even blatantly led his troops away from the southwest without an imperial decree."

"Have you heard anything from the imperial court?"

"Your Highness is afraid that the Seventh Prince will be implicated?"

"What is Gao Jing? It's not my king's turn to worry about it. I'm afraid that Li Dingzhong's recklessness will speed up the movement in the capital!" Gao Yan said, clasping his hands firmly on the desk.

There was a sudden silence in the study.Liu Quan walked to the door softly and closed the door tightly.

After a long silence, Gao Yan asked abruptly, "How is Tan Zhen?"

"General Tan seems to be seriously injured."

Gao Yan's heart suddenly jumped.

"However, due to timely medical treatment, there is no danger of life."

Gao Yan supported the desk with both hands and got up, approached the two from the desk, and at the same time asked a question seemingly unintentionally. "Where is that other person now?"

Ge Cheng is a sensible person, and he hasn't made any mistakes with Gao Yan for more than ten years.Now that he can become Gao Yan's most trusted general, he naturally has his advantages.Although he is a general, he is well versed in the way of officialdom, and sometimes Gao Yan only needs to look at him to understand.In the past, Tan Zhen's thoughts towards Gao Yan naturally couldn't escape his eyes, but now seeing Gao Yan asking Tan Zhen like this, he already had a general idea in his heart, so he couldn't think of how to answer for a while.

Unexpectedly, Li Zheng, who had been silent all this time, saw that Ge Cheng was silent, but suddenly interrupted, "Your Highness! Tan Zhen has left you! Why do you still care about him! You don't know! It's good!"

Hearing Li Zheng's sudden reply, Ge Cheng and Liu Quan who were present were all frightened into a cold sweat.

Gao Yan felt his heart twitching, and was preparing to accept the next words that would make him even more uncomfortable.

"King Dingyuan placed Tan Zhen in his bedroom. He personally delivered soup and poured water every day. He always stood in front of Tan Zhen's hospital bed. After busying with Tan Zhen, others whispered..."

"What argument?" Gao Yan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Li Zheng wanted to continue talking, but Ge Cheng had already held his inner garment tightly in his hands, and it was about to be torn apart.

Li Zheng raised his hand and waved away Ge Cheng's hand, "Why are you holding me!" Then he said, "Your Highness, don't worry about Tan Zhen! Anyway, you can eat and drink well in the palace, and you won't die!"

Ge Cheng suddenly knelt down in front of Gao Yan, "Your Highness, you should rest earlier, and Bei Zhi and Li Zheng will go back first."

As Ge Cheng said, he dragged Li Zheng out of the study.

Liu Quan kept looking at Gao Yan, who had an uncertain expression, and dared not say a word.

Gao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth uncontrollably, pondering Li Zheng's words in his mind. "Tan Zhen and Gao Jing?" Gao Yan sneered in his heart, "I didn't expect you, Gao Jing, to be so kind?" Gao Yan turned his back to Liu Quan, and crumpled the case file on the table. Group, waved to the ground.

Liu Quan was terrified by Gao Yan's sudden action, and whispered, "Your Highness."

Then I heard a suppressed roar: "Get out!"

Liu Quan tremblingly walked out the door, turned around and glanced at Gao Yan with veins popping out of his forehead, and closed the door.

Gao Yan has always been very conceited, whether it is dealing with the emperor or facing the impeachment of the officials in the capital, he is able to handle it with ease.Even dealing with the spies sent by the emperor, everything is under his control.He thinks he can make it all work out the way he wants it to, and in fact, it has done so over the years.The emperor had nothing to do with him, the officials couldn't beat him, the court needed him, and even the spies sent to spy on him fell in love with him.

For a moment, Gao Yan felt that there was nothing in this world that he could not control.

Until later, he met Tan Zhen.It took him two years to completely win over Tan Zhen, making Tan Zhen not only give up his identity as a spy, but also follow him wholeheartedly.

As long as he gives an order, Tan Zhen will obediently come over to listen to his command and let him order, and in return, he only needs to be gentle to Tan Zhen occasionally when he is happy.

Because Gao Yan knew that his actions were very suitable for Tan Zhen.

It's like when Tan Zhen went to the palace to report the military situation on the frontier, opened the door of the study, and saw the beautiful scenery of the place, Lou Zhiqing was lying naked under him, the joint between the two was Gao Yan's constant rhythm.And Tan Zhen just turned around and closed the door awkwardly.Although Gao Yan didn't want Tan Zhen to run into him, he wasn't worried, because he felt that he had figured out Tan Zhen's mind, and he only needed to coax him afterward.

So the next day Gao Yan personally took a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to the General's Mansion.

After a few comforting words, Tan Zhen changed back to the original submissive Tan Zhen.

As Gao Yan's behavior became more capricious and Tan Zhen's indefinite obedience, Gao Yan also became certain that Tan Zhen could not do without him.

But at this time, there was an extra Gao Jing for no reason. Although Gao Yan did not believe that Tan Zhen would have anything to do with Gao Jing, Li Zheng's words still hit Gao Yan like a stone.

Tan Zhen and Gao Jing were completely beyond Gao Yan's expectations.

Gao Yan felt that Tan Zhen was about to release his palm suddenly, so he became a little restless.

What's more, there is another reason that Gao Yan is unwilling to admit and dare not face: he likes Tan Zhen.

Every time I saw Tan Zhen was sad because of himself, although he pretended to be calm on the surface, only Gao Yan knew it, and he never felt good in his heart.Especially when thinking about why Tanzhen left Pingyang, Gao Yan felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

The moment he ran into Tan Zhen, he was also at a loss.He just stood in front of Tanzhen blankly, staring straight at Tanzhen, watching Tanzhen's eyes dimming little by little, and finally became blurred.He was so distressed that he wanted to hug Tanzhen hard and tell Tanzhen that he was just acting, but in the end he walked past Tanzhen involuntarily as if nothing had happened.At the moment when the door was closed heavily, Gao Yan suddenly felt a strong fear, he felt that he would lose Tan Zhen eventually.

How deep it hurt him, Gao Yan knew very well.

Thinking of these, Gao Yan felt a little self-blame and strong unwillingness.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.In any case, he had to go to Dingyuan to meet Tan Zhen.

The author has something to say: This chapter begins to be divided into volumes. . .Dingyuan will become the place where Tanzhen and Gao Yan make love.The next thing is that Tan Zhen and Gao Yan will express their hearts to each other and join hands in the bloody battlefield. . .
