I have a disease, do you have a doctor?

In late spring and March, the grass grows and the warblers fly.

At noon, Yanyang City was bustling with activity. People of all ages, men, women, and children, all rushed to the streets, stood beside the main road in the city, looking forward to it, and the whole city was shrouded in a jubilant atmosphere.

This grand ceremony was nothing but for the triumphant return of the great hussar general of the Yong Kingdom today.

Although this general is young, only in his early twenties, he is the most highly regarded military general in the imperial court.

According to legend, he was originally the only son of a prefect in a remote place. When he was 17 years old, he coincided with a private visit by the emperor in disguise.

Since ancient times, Yongguo has emphasized civility over military affairs, and there are more than a hundred Chinese officials in the current dynasty, but during the war, there are very few generals who can be used.So after a few years, the son of the prefect who came from a remote area was promoted all the way to the general of the hussars, and the power was all over the court for a while, and everyone in the country knew about it.

Yao Xue was riding on the horse, holding the rein in her hand, looking at all kinds of people on both sides of the street a little bored.

He was quiet by nature and didn't like such a lively scene. There was a trace of prying eyes in the curious eyes of this group of people. He couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought that he would have to face the saint later.

Yao Xue was born with sharp eyebrows and star eyes, there is always a heroic spirit in her brows, and there is an arrogance brought back from the battlefield in her eyes.He is wearing a high ponytail today, wearing armor all over his body, with a sword hanging on his waist, and riding on a bloody horse at this moment, he looks even more slender and majestic.

This time the scale of the battle was not large, Yao Xue fought quickly and minimized the loss of the army, which can be said to be a great victory.Therefore, the entire army is also filled with joy and a relaxed atmosphere.

"Hey, let me make a bet. If I count from five to one, some girl will rush out and rob our general."

It was Bai Yu, Yao Xue's lieutenant who spoke.This person is the son of the minister of the military department of the court, and he is always joking and out of shape on weekdays.He is one of Yao Xue's confidantes and has a close relationship with Yao Xue, so he dared to blatantly tease the general in front of everyone.

"Five, four, three—"

There were crowds of people on both sides of the street, Yao Xue's horse was used to running on the battlefield, and it had an extremely fierce temper. Yao Xue kept holding the rein in his hands, and at this moment, hearing that Bai Yu still had time to make fun of himself, he licked it. mouth, was about to turn around and take a look at the other party, but unexpectedly, a person rushed out from the side of the road.

The one who rushed out was a young woman, her face flushed red, as if mustering up all her life's courage, she stuffed a peach blossom into Yao Xue's hand.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and then there was a roar.

Yao Xue was also secretly startled, stopped the horse, and looked at the peach blossom in her hand.

Yanyang is located in the north, so the number of peach blossoms on this branch is relatively small, and the color is light pink, far less gorgeous than the peach blossoms in Xingcai Town, his hometown.

The memories of his youth suddenly flooded his mind like mountains and seas. He couldn't help but think of those bright eyes, that long hair like ink, and the words and laughter among those young people.

After a long silence, Yao Xue chuckled, and slowly plucked a flower from the branch, pinning it on the girl's skirt.

Yao Xue's personality has always been cold, and his followers all stared wide-eyed in surprise at this moment.Especially the lieutenant general Bai Yu said in disbelief: "Could it be that our general has changed his gender."

Yao Xue ignored them, raised the flower branch in her hand, and said politely: "Thank you for giving me the flowers. I also hope that the girl will be blessed by God in the future."

After he finished speaking, he tightened the rein in his hand, didn't look back, and rushed towards the palace at a faster speed.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Hussars, please see me."

In the Yueyang Hall, Emperor Ningyuan was sitting behind the bead curtain and approving memorials.He is over sixty years old, his hair is a little gray, and the wrinkles on his face are deep. Sitting in front of the desk at this moment, his brows are tightly furrowed, showing a fatigue that matches his age.

Hearing this, his face softened a little, and he said in a slow voice: "Xuan."

Not long after, Yao Xue came in.He had just rested in the side hall, now he put his hair into a bun, took off his armor, changed into an indigo blue uniform, and calmed down the murderous spirit he brought from the battlefield.

"Meet Your Majesty." Yao Xue bowed and knelt down.

He reported the battle to Emperor Ningyuan in detail, but Emperor Ningyuan didn't seem to care much about what Yao Xue said. Instead, he leaned over and took a cushion and put it on the opposite side of the table: "Come on, Changshu, sit down." Bar."

"I don't dare." Yao Xue hesitated a little, didn't get up, but just replied calmly.

Emperor Ningyuan didn't care much when he heard the words, let Yao Xue kneel on the ground, and continued on his own: "I think you were only 17 years old when you first entered Yanyang."

Yao Xue lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Emperor Ningyuan paused, and then slowly said: "Then... he should be 19 years old at that time."

Yao Xue's complexion moved slightly when she heard this, but she didn't make a sound.

He didn't expect the emperor to mention Qiu Chen suddenly.

Emperor Ningyuan stood up, lifted the bead curtain, walked forward with some difficulty, and sat on the steps in front of the table.

He looked at Yao Xue who was still kneeling in front of him, raised his hand and gestured casually: "He should be a little shorter than you." Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and continued: " As far as I remember, he was pretty pretty."

Yao Xue pursed her lips, but still didn't answer.

"I don't have a close relationship with my children, and I haven't had any more sons and daughters in these years. Therefore, I will think of him many times." The old emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty has great blessings, and he will surely have another son." Yao Xue was silent for a while, and finally spoke unhurriedly.

Emperor Ning Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "Where did you learn this high-sounding trick?" He pondered for a moment, raised his head to look at Yao Xue, and sighed again: "That's all."

"I heard that on the way to the palace today, a girl gave you flowers?"

Yao Xue couldn't help but rolled her eyelids when she heard that, she wondered who the gossip was, even this kind of thing was going to be spread to the palace.

"Speaking of which, you're not young anymore, it's time to start a family."

Yao Xue hurriedly said: "I have no intention of marrying a wife."

Emperor Ningyuan looked at him with great interest: "But you already have a girl you like? I will definitely fulfill you."

Yao Xue was taken aback, and after a long time, she slowly opened her mouth: "I... have no one I like. It's just that I haven't considered getting a wife yet."

The old emperor waved his hand again, and said with a frown, "What are you talking about like a child here? If you don't think about it, I will think about it for you. The daughter of Mrs. Chen's family has admired you for a long time. Yesterday, the old Mrs. Fu came here to ask me to marry you."

"Seeing that you are both talented men and women, and you are well matched, I have decided to approve this marriage."

Yao Xue raised her head abruptly when she heard the words, and wanted to say something more, but Emperor Ning Yuan interrupted him: "I'm tired. Step back."

That night.

Yao Xue was sitting in front of the desk with her head propped up, casually flipping through a yellowed medical book in her hand.

He put the branch of peach blossom into the porcelain vase on the table, looking a bit lonely.

Yao Xue has already lived in a separate mansion from her family, and has no wife, so the huge mansion seems deserted.

He remembered what Emperor Ning Yuan said in the afternoon.

What Emperor Ning Yuan mentioned was his childhood playmate Qiu Chen.

Yao Xue has never seen Qiu Chen since she was 17 years old.He met Qiu Chen when he was 15 years old, and the two spent the most romantic days of their youth together.

But later, Qiuchen's family disappeared from Xingcai Town overnight, leaving no trace behind.

Father Yao Ji told Yao Xue that Qiu Chen's real identity was actually the prince of Jin Zun Yugui, and he had already gone to Wangcheng with the emperor, this matter should not be discussed indiscriminately, just ask and fight once.

Not long after, Yao Xue also followed his family to the capital. He was full of joy thinking that he could see Qiu Chen in the palace, but in the end he was in vain.

Dissatisfied in his heart, he ran directly to Yuqian and asked Emperor Ning Yuan about Qiu Chen's whereabouts.Emperor Ning Yuan just left a sentence indifferently: People can't change their fate against the sky, and there will be no time and no end in fate.

Yao Xue wanted to ask again, but Emperor Ningyuan imprisoned him for a month and taught him not to ask questions that should not be asked.

Later, no matter how Yao Xue searched, she couldn't get any news about Qiu Chen.

Emperor Ningyuan promoted him and reused him, but rewarded him much and punished him severely.Regarding Qiu Chen, he couldn't mention a single word.Over the past few years, Yao Xue also gradually understood Emperor Ning Yuan's temperament, and his actions became much more mature and prudent.

After a few knocks on the door, his subordinate Qin Luo came in.

He looked at Yao Xue and said helplessly, "General, you are reading that medical book again."

Yao Xue didn't look back, closed the book, raised her hand and gently stroked the cover: "What's the matter? Tell me directly."

"Here comes the report from the Northland that the army of the Liang Kingdom has overwhelmed the border, and they have captured Baicheng on the border." When Qin Luo said this, he seemed dissatisfied, and added with his mouth covered: "I just got home, and I have another job to do. "

Yao Xue gently touched the petals of the peach blossoms in the vase with her fingertips, and said, "Isn't Liangguo harassing at the border all day long? I don't need me to lead the army for such a small matter."

Qin Luo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although this is the case, this time is unusual. It is said that Liangguo has newly employed a national teacher. This person is good at witchcraft, and he is known as the "Gu King". It only took an hour to go down to Baicheng."

Yao Xue finally turned around.

"Gu technique?" He asked a little puzzled.

Qin Luo said: "It's a kind of strange art in the frontier, with various types. It is said that it can destroy people's bodies and control people's minds."

Yao Xue never believed these things, and said disdainfully, "It's just a trick."

Liang State borders Yong State. Although it has not had much contact with Yong State in the past few years, since King Xinliang succeeded to the throne, it has successively annexed several small neighboring countries.

If Yongguo really has a strong enemy this time, then if he wins this battle, he can demand one or two from the emperor.

Yao Xue stared at Qin Luo for a while, and suddenly she was in a good mood. He smiled slightly at the other party, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's been hard these days."

Qin Luo was terrified by his smile, responded, and hurriedly prepared to leave the room.

Yao Xue thought about it again, and thought it would be better just in case, so she stopped Qin Luo again: "Wait, you spread the news tomorrow morning, saying that I am not good at that."

Qin Luo almost stepped on the threshold and fell off his back. He turned his head and looked at Yao Xue in disbelief and said, "Where...is it wrong?"

Qin Luo has always felt that although the general in front of him usually looks cool and indifferent, he will always come up with some puzzling tricks on many small things.

Yao Xue squinted at him: "What do you think?"

Qin Luo scratched his head, and after a while suddenly realized, he patted his forehead and said: "Could it be that you read that medical book every day, just to cure..."

Yao Xue didn't wait for him to finish, she pushed him out and closed the door heavily.

He raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, looked at the peach blossoms on the table, and thought to himself, in this way, he doesn't believe that there is any noble lady in the capital who would dare to ask for a marriage proposal with him.
