After the general fell ill

, watched Su Ce carefully trace the inscriptions on the tombstone, and heard him muttering to himself.

"I am back."

"father."

During these years of devoting himself to Liang Yan, he seldom thought of the Su family in Yinzhou, and seldom missed his grandfather, parents, and uncle. Regarding, he doesn't care about the past, except for Gu Yan, he hardly cares about anyone.

It is the softness that has been buried in his heart for many years. Once someone or something breaks his indestructible body, it will quickly invade his mind. For example, when Liang Yu died of illness and his career was empty, he met his parents in a dream. Seeing it, he knew that it was just that he felt that his life was not long, and he wished to be reunited with his relatives in Huangquan immediately.

But after reuniting with Gu Yan, he missed them less and less, with his beloved who was like a confidant by his side, his eyes returned to the frontier and Udi, he was thinking.

——How to defeat Udi, how to capture Zhijie alive, how to guard the stability and stability of the border for decades.

He became the Su Ce who could abandon the Su family in Yinzhou again, and give up his responsibility as the head of the family to lead the revival of the family. Now, he deeply felt that he must come to Yinzhou.

He came here without any identity, only as a descendant of the Su family in Yinzhou, he came to remember and pay homage.

Su Ce stared calmly at his father's tombstone. After a long while, he seemed to have finally found his voice, and began to slowly tell all the past since he succeeded as the head of the Su family in Yinzhou.

His voice was sometimes clear and sometimes hoarse, presumably due to illness, but his words were extremely clear.

Su Ce spoke in an unhurried manner, quietly telling everyone and everything to his relatives under Jiuquan.

Speaking of meeting Gu Yan for the first time in Zhuoguang County, he couldn't help smiling, and then quickly talked about three parts of the world, until the unification of Kyushu.

"His name is Gu Yan, and his style name is Tingyuan. He is a confidant I met in Zhuoguang County. Later, you also know that he is now my lover." Su Ce turned his head and smiled faintly at Gu Yan, then turned his head to look directly at the tombstone Said: "We plan to get married after next spring, father, even if you want to object now, it will be impossible."

Gu Yan smiled cooperatively, but Su Ce gradually restrained his smile, and said in a deep voice, "I'm leaving again, father, please forgive me for being unfilial."

Then he refused Gu Yan's support and stood up alone, knelt down again, touched his forehead to the ground, and made three big salutes in front of his father's grave.

After getting up, he went to the tombstones of his mother Liu, grandfather and uncle, and repeated the big gift just now.

When Su Ce got up again, his expression didn't change at all, and he didn't show the weakness he had when he came.He only said half of what he said, but his relatives and Gu Yan understood the other half.

——He is leaving again, and he will come back at some unknown time, and he may never come back again.

His illness has already accompanied him through the winter moon, and after more than a month, it will be early spring and February again. He dares to bet, but he dare not boast in front of his parents.

If he can come back alive to marry Gu Yan after going to war against Udi, he will definitely come to his parents' tomb and ask them to be witnesses.

"Father, mother, please rest assured that in this life, I will definitely protect Su Ce." The oath in Gu Yan's belly was far more than these few words, but he only made a concise promise. Three great gifts were held in front of the grave of relatives.

Seeing Gu Yan's serious appearance, Su Ce pulled him up and said with a light smile, "Got it, my parents said they know it."

He stood in the middle of Bai Sensen's cemetery, his expression was melancholy when he was gone, his eyes were bright, he turned around and held Gu Yan's hand, and said softly: "Let's go."

All the members of the Su Clan in Yinzhou are buried here. Su Ce never thought about what kind of mood he would stand here. Now that he has released all the past in his chest, he only feels comfortable physically and mentally. There is an invisible force that heals his broken heart. body.

The magpies on the branches of the sycamore tree were chirping, and Su Ce smiled at the birds in a good mood, and he agreed as a family member.

Su Ce and Gu Yan walked back along the way they came, and when Tan Qiu drove away, they temporarily settled down in an inn in the evening.

While Su Ce was taking a bath, Gu Yan ordered Tan Qiu to make a good soup. The conditions of the inn were no better than that of Yaowanggu. Su Ce and Gu Yan scrubbed their bodies casually. Tangyao pushed open the door and entered, handed it to Gu Yan, then turned and retreated.

"Is this medicine about to end?" Su Ce asked inadvertently.

Gu Yan nodded, just about to chat with Su Ce about the next soup that Qi Wuchen prescribed, when Su Ce suddenly thought.

"Ting Yuan, when we get back to Medicine King Valley, how about we compete with each other?"

Gu Yan was taken aback when he heard the words. He looked at Su Ce suspiciously. He didn't know why Su Ce suddenly said such inexplicable words, but the person he was staring at was lowering his head and drinking the medicine, deliberately not looking at him.

Su Ce's body was like paper, and he was not as heavy as food in his arms. Gu Yan wanted to compete with him, but Gu Yan couldn't bear to refuse, and said in a lonely way: "It's... better to ask Doctor Qi."

Seeing that Su Ce nodded indifferently, Gu Yan was even more confused, so he didn't ask any more questions after seeing Su Ce's drowsy appearance after drinking the medicine.

The two huddled together on the bed in the inn and slept all night hugging each other.

When they returned to Yaowang Valley, the winter moon had already passed, and the first month arrived as scheduled.

In the freezing weather, when Gu Yan had forgotten Su Ce's astonishing words that night, he went out to practice swords, and before he entered the house, he heard an exclamation from the room.

"A miracle!"

Excited and surprised, it was Qi Wuchen's voice.

"Our medicine worked?"

The uncontrollable shock was Du Jing.

"Could it be that the old valley master really appeared?"

It was the Cao Shiren he was familiar with.

What is this all about?Even chatting about ghosts and gods started, Gu Yan couldn't listen anymore, he directly pushed open the door, and several people in the room turned their heads, seeing him was even more enthusiastic, and congratulated him.

——Why do you like it?

Gu Yan looked hesitant and glanced back and forth between the few people.

"General Gu, General Su's illness has improved!" Qi Wuchen said bluntly without beating around the bush.

Gu Yan was stunned when he heard the words, and quickly realized that he pulled Qi Wuchen to explain to him carefully the reason for Su Ce's improvement. In Qi Wuchen's rare joy, Gu Yan refined the key point.

- how good?

All of a sudden it was fine.

——Does the medicine work?

That still works.

——how is it now?

Going out is a no-brainer.

With a dazed look on his face, Gu Yan turned his gaze to Su Ce, who gave him a look of "going to discuss in a while".

Gu Yan turned his gaze back to Qi Wuchen, and confirmed with him the condition of Su Ce's illness seriously.

This time, both parties calmed down a lot, and Qi Wuchen's analysis became more organized. The general meaning is that Su Ce's health has indeed improved. After the accumulated poison has been cleared, his body is slowly recovering, but his illness is only appropriate. Resting, as Cao Shiren said, if Su Ce rested with peace of mind, it would not be a problem to live for decades.

With Su Ce's current physical condition, he could use soup and medicine to strengthen it from time to time, so he could go to the battlefield.

After all, Su Ce was extremely persistent. In the eyes of Qi Wuchen and others, even if Su Ce's illness was completely cured, they would not approve of him going out to fight. Who knows if this erratic illness will come back again.

After sending Qi Wuchen and others out of the room, Gu Yan turned around, and Su Ce snatched the sword from his waist in an instant.

Su Ce turned the saber in Wan Wan's hand around, and said with a light smile, "Let's go, let's learn from each other."

In the season of ice and snow, when dripping water turns into ice, Su Ce and Gu Yan found an open space that would not destroy the medicine fields of the Medicine King Valley. After the two stood still, they both gave up their weapons. After the flying snow was raised, they fought together.

Su Ce's attack was as fast as lightning, Gu Yan only defended but did not attack, as the several figures moved around, they knocked down a layer of snow on the tree.

Gu Yan has never seen Su Ce in such a radiant manner. It is completely different from his expression when discussing the art of war and the sand table. The flying snow is scattered around the two of them. Su Ce's raised black hair and raised phoenix eyes are sharp and sharp decisive.

When Gu Yan was amazed, Su Ce grabbed Gu Yan's right hand with his backhand, held it in his hand and shook him, and said with a light smile, "You lost, Ting Yuan."

It was just a random competition, and neither of them tried their best. Gu Yan stared at Su Ce's shining eyes, and said in his heart: I have lost to you a long time ago. After I parted with you in Zhuoguang County, I chased after you. From the moment of footsteps, fortunately...

He still had a lot of opportunities to witness Su Ce's look, and truly witness the vigorous side of Su Ce, who he almost missed, on the battlefield.

——His most powerful side is also the real side that completely stimulated his inner yearning and desire.

38. Expedition

Before he reached the Qin army's only way to the vast desert, Su Ce had already attacked at night first.

Manna three years of spring.

Chen Su said last year that Udi was hit by snowstorm again, which caused heavy loss of livestock.Udi suffered from snowstorms for two consecutive years, but Qin Dynasty experienced frequent winds and ten rains. At the same time, Si Tiantai watched the stars at night and gave advice to fight.

Emperor Xiao Zhuo immediately dispatched 30 troops to attack Udi, of which 20 were elite cavalry, and [-] were led by the general Gu Yan to go out of Shuozhou and go deep into the enemy's territory to destroy Udi Prince Mo Shi;

The other [-] were led by the old Marquis Suce of An, and went out of Bingzhou to meet Zhijie's army head-on. The remaining [-] were infantry transporting food and supplies. The two armies each led their soldiers deep into Mobei.

It was a clear day, and at dawn, the mighty army marched north out of Chang'an City, hunting flags fluttered in the air, and Xiao Zhuo, who was standing on the general platform, followed the entire army with his gaze.
