After the general fell ill

The face was once blood-stained.

Tan Qiu reflexively pressed his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This sword is so murderous, and the cold light when it was unsheathed almost made Tan Qiu's hairs stand on end. Su Ce, who was holding the sword, seemed to have got rid of this thin and weak body. Just standing there, Tan Qiu felt An unspeakable sharpness, he knew in his heart that this was Su Ce's true invincible side.

He is a low-key soldier with a knife in its sheath. His legend makes people mistakenly think that he is just a collection enshrined in the incense temple. However, once he is out of the sheath, he will never be mistaken.

Tan Qiu, who heard the sound of withdrawing the sword, looked up and saw that Su Ce had put down the sword and was counting the odds and ends on the table.

Seeing that Su Ce didn't make any movement again, Tan Qiu kept in mind Gu Yan's instructions, fearing that Su Ce might be unwell but didn't say anything, and hurried forward, but saw Su Ce holding something in his forehand, silently lost in thought.

"General Su, what's wrong?" Tan Qiu asked cautiously.

Su Ce slowly shook his head at him, and put the object in his hand on his clothes. Only then did Tan Qiu notice that the object was made of copper and iron, with wrong gold inscriptions on it, in the shape of two opposing tigers lying quietly.

——Isn’t this the Tiger Talisman? !

Tan Qiu recognized at a glance that this was the token held by the emperor's dispatching troops. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the etiquette systems of Qin, Yan, and Zheng all followed the Jin Dynasty, so the style of the tiger talisman was almost the same.

The amulet of armor soldiers, the emperor is on the right, and the general is on the left.The Tiger Talisman in Su Ce's hand was in complete shape, and it was obvious that he had been holding the military power tightly.

Unexpectedly, this Tiger Talisman was still on his body, and Su Ce was in a trance for a while. Maybe he thought of the two emperors who had passed away, maybe he thought of the details of being a general in the past few years, or maybe he thought of who followed own general.

When he gathered his thoughts and put down the tiger talisman, Su Ce knew that this was the official farewell to the past.

16. Obsession

"Don't try to seek death again, I will never allow it!"

Su Ce walked around the room again, bypassing the four hanging screens filled with gold carvings, and found a few piano scores on the shelf behind the screen, picked it up, flipped through it, and then laughed at himself, He was actually a bit obscure to read.

After putting the piano score back to its original position, Su Ce casually flipped through a few military books scattered on the bookshelf. The paper of the books was worn out and yellowed. It was obvious that they were often read by the master but did not take much care of them.

Su Ce was very familiar with these books, so he turned his attention to a set of painting tools placed on the desk next to him.

A brand new flower and bird porcelain bowl, an exquisitely carved easel, and a brush that was exactly the same as the Four Treasures of the Imperial Study that he had seen before.

Su Ce lightly pressed the neatly stacked rice paper and cloth, and doubted: Gu Yan, who came from a humble background and joined the army, would be a literati who loves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't quite believe it, but Gu Yan's superb piano skills a few days ago undoubtedly confirmed this to him, and now there are so many evidences in the book case, Su Ce is slightly surprised.

During the six months when he met and chatted freely with Gu Yan, Gu Yan's mind never stayed on the hobbies of these literati and refined guests.

Compared with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Gu Yan prefers to ride a horse with a bow and dance with a sword. What he yearns for is the boundless grassland and desert outside the Great Wall. His heart is a wild horse galloping in the vast world without restraint.

Su Ce couldn't imagine how he would live in a certain place and focus on the mountains and rivers.In his opinion, the 16-year-old Gu Yan is the kind of high-spirited young man who never wants to settle down and wants to conquer bandits.

Gu Yan's fondness for playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting may be due to Mr. Zhou's contribution.

When it was time to eat dinner, Gu Yan walked into the house covered in cold wind. He was going to the room where Su Ce slept, but was told by Tan Qiu that Su Ce would rest in this room for half a day, so he turned back .

Under Tan Qiu's management, the Gu mansion has become more orderly these past few days. Today's dinner is millet porridge and six signature dishes that look like a small restaurant. It is said that the cook arranged by Tan Qiuxin deliberately showed his skills.

Gu Yan frowned while holding the millet porridge. Since Su Ce came to his mansion, he was told by two doctors to pay attention to take care of his body. After that, every table must have millet porridge, or else it would be replaced with rice porridge.

Smelling the familiar aroma of porridge, Gu Yan felt as if he had drank all the porridge in his life these days.

On the other hand, Su Ce remained as calm as before. Su Ce, who was born in a famous family, didn't care about eating and drinking, and could endure bitter medicine every day. It really subverted Gu Yan's impression of a nobleman.

After dinner, Su Ce planned to stay in this room for a while in order to wait for the second bowl of soup. Gu Yan had no objection to this.

Amidst the rustling sound of Su Ce flipping through the books, Gu Yan was the first to notice the table case with Su Ce's old things that he ignored when he just entered the door.

Under the bright candlelight, Gu Yan's gaze was instantly attracted by a token on the reflective armor.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the token made of two recumbent tigers, and gently stroked the gold inscription on the copper casting with his fingers, which he was all too familiar with.

This token is exactly the Tiger Talisman that surprised Tan Qiu earlier.

Gu Yan took out another Tiger Talisman from the lapel, compared them in the palm of his hand, and was about to put the Tiger Talisman belonging to Su Ce back on the armor when his master turned around and saw it. This scene.

"Ting Yuan, what are you looking at?" Su Ce asked curiously.

"Nothing." Gu Yan replied very quickly.

Seeing this, Su Ce glanced at him suspiciously, then walked forward, and found that Gu Yan was just holding two tiger talismans for fun. He couldn't help laughing and said, "How is Yan's tiger talisman compared to Qin's?"

Gu Yan saw that he was aware of it, so he no longer concealed it, and generously put the tiger amulet belonging to Su Ce back on the armor, and said solemnly: "They are all warriors."

Su Ce went around to Gu Yan, looked straight into his eyes and said, "Throw it away, this tiger talisman is no longer useful."

Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Su Ce to have such an indifferent attitude, and then an inexplicable anger rose up. Before trying to provoke Su Ce, he himself couldn't restrain his anger.

Sure enough, Su Ce has no attachment to this world, even the tiger amulet, which once involved the most memories and painstaking efforts, can be discarded, he can't let it go.

"An Lan..." He said these two words in a low and gentle tone between his lips and teeth, and even Gu Yan himself almost had auditory hallucinations. He heard himself continue to say: "One day you will hold the tiger charm of the Qin Dynasty to cross the frontier?"

Gu Yan's voice was soft and ethereal, and it sounded like an unrealistic lie to Su Ce's ears, but Gu Yan's eyes were firm and persistent, as if as long as Su Ce agreed to him, he would not be afraid of the world falling apart.

Su Ce lowered his eyes and smiled, he could only half believe the doctor's words, only a fool like Gu Yan would completely obey him.

30 years?Two or three years are considered grace given to him by Lord Yan.

Perhaps Su Ce, who was too tired and hard-working in those three years, suddenly relaxed, but his heart did not float to the ground, but was suspended in mid-air.

Getting close to Gu Yan is like a dream. Su Ce knows the truth that good things are fragile and good dreams are easy to wake up. Why should he drag Gu Yan, who has a promising future, along with him who is about to be buried in the ground.

So he raised his eyes and said softly: "Ting Yuan, the Qin Dynasty still has you." It is enough to deter the Siyi, the princes of the inner town, and continue the great cause of the Qin Dynasty.

Gu Yan's mind was shaken when he heard the words, his eyes were full of unspeakable sadness, but also a little anger.

Ting Yuan, Qin Chao still has you, so let me forget about it.This is the second half of the sentence that Su Ce failed to utter, which Gu Yan thought he understood.

Su Ce gave up crossing the frontier, and Gu Yan almost suspected that the person in front of him was just a lonely ghost wearing Su Ce's skin.

Seven years ago, he and Su Ce made an agreement to fight against Udi. The words are still in my ears. In the past few years, they have also worked hard on their own paths, hoping that one day they will "share the same wind for thousands of miles".

Su Ce was two years older than him. Before he had the opportunity to set foot on the battlefield, Su Ce's deeds had always been a monument he yearned for. Su Ce's bravery and strength made him subconsciously regard Su Ce as the target of pursuit.

Longing to stand by his side, longing to be at the same height as him, longing to meet again one day, wanting to tell him all the words I have thrown on the battlefield these years.

Tell this man he fell in love with first without knowing it, and then chased after him hard.

He has the ability to protect the town where they once stood, and their ideal of fighting against Udi is close at hand.

It's a pity that the hearts of the two of them are far away now.

"Unexpectedly, Su Anlan, who is regarded as the God of War, General Su, gave up the opportunity to go to the battlefield like this. Do you want to get together with those civil servants every day, or are you afraid of making meritorious service as a surrender? Be feared by His Majesty?" Gu Yan's tone was aggressive.

Su Ce remained unmoved, "I gave up because of my body."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yan's shoulders were tightly bound, and the eyes of the man in front of him were red, like a stubborn and fierce horse, who would rather die than put on the rein.

Immediately, Su Ce felt that the fabric on his shoulders was a little loose, and it was Gu Yan's hands that were trembling slightly. Gu Yan paused and said through gritted teeth: "Su Anlan, don't make excuses, your body has its own good medicine to sustain you. His life and death cannot be determined by Hades."

Gu Yan's gaze was fierce and decisive, and he said loudly: "Don't even try to seek death, I will never allow it!"

Su Ce seemed to be stunned, he didn't pay attention to the words "seeking death again" in Gu Yan's mouth for a while, he was a little surprised, Gu Yan seemed to cherish this life more than himself.

He gently raised his hand to caress the back of Gu Yan's hand, feeling the
