After the general fell ill

When he arrived in the courtyard full of locust trees, he glanced at the slanted shadows of the trees. Gu Yan thought it was close to noon. Then Gu Yan realized that today happened to be the day when he and He Liang agreed to meet in the restaurant a few days ago.

Walking all the way to the restaurant, at noon it was the time when the restaurant was overcrowded, Gu Yan thought that if there was no place, he would wait until Youshi to come back, but unexpectedly the waiter at the door would smile when he saw him.

"Your Excellency is General Gu. Your friend General He has reserved a seat in advance. Please come with me."

Xiao Er took Gu Yan to a closed private room on the second floor, left behind a sentence of "If you have anything to say," and left.

When Gu Yan pushed the door and entered, he heard a sentence.

"General Gu, you are late, you should punish yourself with three cups."

14. Misunderstanding

If Su Ce is willing to stay because of this, Gu Yan doesn't mind if he misunderstands him.

Gu Yan glanced over and saw He Liang, who was wearing a brown uniform, sitting cross-legged in front of the round table, with a pot of signature wine from the restaurant on his left, and a plate of pastries on his right.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and finally I'm looking forward to you, a busy person." He Liang waved to him, and then shouted outside the room: "Xiaoer, serve!"

Gu Yan didn't care about He Liang's teasing, before he sat down, he picked up the flagon and poured the fine wine into the wine glass, and drank three glasses without blinking.

"Good!" He Liang applauded at the right time.

After Gu Yan was seated, He Liang picked up a piece of pastry and complained, "It's been a long time since I've eaten Chang'an's dishes. I eat noodles every day in Qingzhou. I don't want to eat noodles again in my life."

Gu Yan chuckled lightly: "Then you may not be able to stay in Chang'an for a few days."

"Ting Yuan is right, Chang'an also has noodles." He Liang elongated his tone and joked with Gu Yan.

The two were chatting happily, and the dishes were almost ready.A dazzling array of delicacies, full of aroma, Gu Yan looked at the table full of dishes, his brows twitched slightly, "Why do you order so many?"

He Liang had already stuffed a piece of soft, rotten and tender chicken into his mouth, and said while eating: "Don't ask so many questions, eat quickly, this gourd chicken is a must-order signature of restaurants in the market."

The two mopped up the whole chicken in silence, with no elegance in their movements. They have been with the army all year round, and they don't have to worry about eating meat and soup.

Gu Yan himself was born as a commoner. Although he has received a good education, his actions are vulgar.

He Liang was not. He Liang's father was once a fierce general under the late emperor's command.

However, in private, he often abandons the gentle etiquette. He Liang believes that people who care about meals and put on airs are against his own stomach.

Gu Yan was deeply convinced of this.

He Liang took a sip of the wine and sighed: "Chang'an is better. The sky in Qingzhou is really cloudy and sunny. It was windy yesterday, and it rained heavily today. Chang'an has been sunny these few days, which is so rare."

Gu Yan followed his gaze to look at the clear sky and blue sun outside the window, and asked, "How is the old man?"

"It's pretty good. You scolded me a couple of days ago, and you're in good spirits." He Liang was quite helpless when he thought of his spirited father.

Gu Yan guessed casually while eating: "Urging you to hold a grandson?"

He Liang slapped his thigh, and the wine glass made a crisp sound when it was placed on the round table. He waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, let's talk about it on a different topic."

Gu Yan snorted, his eyes were full of irony, He Liang was agitated by his eyes, and suddenly became a little excited.

"Don't talk about me, Ting Yuan..." He Liang stared at Gu Yan with burning eyes, and said maliciously: "You are already 23 and haven't married yet. I heard that His Majesty intends to promise you Princess Sile. really?"

Gu Yan glanced at him sideways, then casually picked up an elbow and said, "There is such a thing, but I refused."

"Tsk tsk tsk, only you have the guts to refuse the marriage offered by the Holy Majesty." After finishing speaking, He Liang suddenly realized: "Could it be that you already have a sweetheart?"

Gu Yan didn't intend to hide him either. After all, he knew the emperor's methods. The generals who made great achievements with him in the early years were all sent out. Although He Liang had a special status, the former emperor had already passed away, and it was only time before he wanted to be transferred from his side. question.

Besides, the general has a sweetheart, so what kind of secret can't be made public.

Gu Yan followed his words and nodded, "Yes."

He Liang's eyes widened when he heard the words, he just teased a few words as usual, but Gu Yan didn't turn back and admitted it neatly.

He Liang looked around, pretending to be afraid that the wall has ears, and asked quietly, "Does Ting Yuan's sweetheart know your intentions?"

Gu Yan shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know."

He Liang gasped. He felt that if he chatted with Gu Yan a few more words, he might even save dinner. Gu Yan's secrets were as good as the delicious dishes, and it really made him last.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

Gu Yan put down his chopsticks, picked up the jug and poured it out. After shaking it a few times and found that the jug was empty, he picked up the unopened wine jug on the ground with his backhand, and the clear wine slowly fell into the wine glass until it was full. When it overflowed, Gu Yan put down the wine jar.

Seeing Gu Yan's posture, He Liang filled his glass like him, and then heard Gu Yan say, "I don't dare."

Are there things in the world that Gu Yan dare not do?This ambiguous answer made He Liang more firm in his inner guess.

A heroic general who dared to go deep into the enemy's camp and put his life and death aside, even dared to refuse the emperor's offer of marriage, Gu Yan's sweetheart was really amazing.

He Liang asked, "Are you afraid of him?"

Gu Yan raised his head and took a sip of wine, his mind was abnormally clear, he just wanted to use the wine to find someone to confide in.

"I'm not afraid of him..." Gu Yan paused, and then said, "I like him."

He Liang never expected that Gu Yan would admit it directly, and said while the iron was hot: "How long have you liked him? Haven't you thought of telling him for such a long time?"

"It's been a long time, and I'm far away from him, so we don't see each other often." Gu Yan sighed: "One thing more is worse than one thing less."

"How can major events in life be ignored?!" He Liang hated iron but said, "Why don't you dare? He also has two eyes and one nose. What's so special about it? You can ask him, even if he is rejected. I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

Gu Yan nodded in agreement, "Qi Ming made some sense, but now..." He changed the subject and asked, "How can I attract his attention?"

He Liang thought in his heart that if your skin is not attractive enough, the men in Quanchang'an might flood the Yellow River with tears. Although he dismissed it in his heart, he still patiently suggested: "Chat with him? Talk about what you are interested in." Things. Traveling with him, no matter how bad it is, you can try to make him angry."

The last sentence successfully shifted Gu Yan's gaze from the wine glass to his face. Seeing this, He Liang continued: "My wife and I were childhood sweethearts. We were nine or ten years old at the time, and urchins didn't understand anything. Always deliberately get her attention when we are together.

She likes white cats, so I wanted to bring a little black dog, and sometimes I would tease her by standing on the left and touching her steps, and when she turned around, I was standing on the right again. "

He Liang recalled the innocence when he was a child, and he relaxed a lot. After drinking heavily, he said: "Actually, whether it is to make her angry or make her happy, I just like it without knowing it, and I want to get her attention."

Gu Yan listened silently to He Liang's ramblings about how he had abducted Mrs. Zun, and even foolishly joked about his sweet time after marriage.

"Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, I, He Liang, will only marry her in this life!"

He Liang drank in a hurry when he was excited. Gu Yan saw that he was a little drunk, and was about to persuade him, but he heard him say softly: "It's not that I don't want a child, it's because she can't bear it. I asked several doctors, and they all said it would be dangerous. Fortunately, I am not the only one in our He family, and it is not considered..."

He Liang's voice gradually weakened, but Gu Yan's attention was held back by the phrase "I can't bear it". He ate a few mouthfuls of dishes that were not yet cold with the wine, and when he was about to go out to pay the bill, he saw He Liang Standing up unsteadily.

"I said that if you provoke her, she can only be angry. Don't go, your sweetheart can't afford to provoke..."

Gu Yan frowned, and said with a teasing smile: "Qi Ming, why is my sweetheart so hard to offend?"

Gu Yan, who was fully waiting for He Liang to boast of Su Ce, only heard him shout: "Ting Yuan, don't go crazy, that's the current Holy Majesty, no matter how close you are to His Majesty, you can only stop at the monarch and ministers!"

He Liang saw Gu Yan staring at him in a daze, and persuaded him: "I can understand that you like men. There was a male queen in the previous dynasty, and it is not uncommon to marry a male wife now, but it is not good to choose who you like." Look at Your Majesty."

"I..." Gu Yan just wanted to speak to defend himself, but He Liang suddenly raised his voice.

"Gu Tingyuan, do you want to stay in the history books as a sycophant who seduced the lord?! Your instinct is to leave a name in history, but you are so obsessed with it!"

"No..." Gu Yan stretched out his hand and dragged He Liang to sit down, wanting to clarify the misunderstanding with him seriously.

"Didn't Your Majesty leave Su Ce in your mansion? I think General Su is very good. He was born in the Su family of Yinzhou. He is a son of a famous family and aristocratic family. He is suitable for you." He Liang pointed with his fingers.

"He assisted Liang Yan, and the reputation of the god of war shook the Central Plains, and you also defended the frontier to frighten Xiaoxiao, which is a match."

"It is said that he is rich, handsome, and unrestrained, and you are also handsome, handsome, and a good pair."

At the end of the count, He Liang deeply believed that these two people were really a perfect match through the ages, so he seriously suggested: "From now on, you two
