master and servant

Xie Yusheng felt very tired.

Tianshui City was indeed saved, but what's the point?

His whole life seems to be doing something pointless.

he thought back.

Xie Yusheng was the youngest son of the previous emperors and empresses. When he was born, his elder brother had already been married, and his eldest niece was even more than two years older than him.

Under such circumstances, he has naturally become the apple of his parents' eyes - he is afraid of being broken when he is holding it, and he is afraid of melting when he is holding it. No one has asked him for anything since he was a child.

At the same time, there is no expectation.

He doesn't need to study the way of the emperor, because his elder brother has long been established as a prince; he doesn't need to practice literature and martial arts, because he is born to be an extremely human minister; he is even induced intentionally or unintentionally, not to learn anything.

He should be a wayward and harmless prince, the kind who doesn't know anything about the affairs of the court, and spends his life playing with the singing bird in the cage.

He is reluctant.

So, two years ago, his imperial brother finally lightly approved King Jin's petition to travel around the rivers and lakes.

He used his mother's surname as a pseudonym for himself, happily became the master of Moon Lake, and named his guards next to each other.

Know the narrow, know to avoid, know to observe, know to supervise.

He knew from the very beginning that he was narrow-minded and mean, that he should avoid suspicion and stay away, and was willing to accept supervision in exchange for the rest of his life.

Zhiyue, Zhize.

Under the jurisdiction of Yuehu Lake, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. In August and fifteenth, the lake is reflected in the water, and the waves are shimmering. Putting a boat on it makes people forget to return.

Zhige.

The shadow guards who have followed him since he was ten years old are originally unknown.Xie Yusheng discovered the existence of this person after being in danger several times, but the shadow guard will always follow the original order - to protect Xie Yusheng's safety, other than that, there is no major issue.

Xie Yusheng taught him to sing jokingly. It is the favorite love song of girls in Jiangnan. Joy and resentment, and pity and hate.

But none of these people followed him.

Who could serve him but him?

He flipped through a book irritably, and that page happened to be "Biography of Assassins".

It happened in the past, and it must happen today.

He met a dead man in the snow, and he hoped that this man would come back to him no matter what happened.

Isn't that exactly how the dead exist?

Chi has not let him down.

So he began to expect more.

But his imperial brother would rather let more cities fall than pass back from Tianshui his feat of turning the tide.

"Young master?" Gu Zhi also walked into the room with a plate of steamed buns, the soft surroundings gradually receded, their firewood was no longer in short supply, and the steamed buns were finally hot and soft.

When he left, Xie Yusheng was still walking around the map irritably in the room, but when he came back, the other party was already quietly sitting on the chair in a daze, turning the pen, not caring that the ink splashed his clothes around and around.

He raised his eyes and looked at him and the steamed bun for a moment.

It was a look like burnt coals.

At first glance, it looks like dead ashes, but there is a little spark inside, eagerly waiting to sweep again.

"Zhi Huan, you are the best for me!" He jumped up and happily took the steamed bun, took a bite, and cried out from being burned.

"Zhihuan, is there any new news from General Yang? I remember when we came, his uncle Yang Wensi said that he was going to Lingshan Pass to hurt Chen's vitals, and angrily scolded the old General Yang Wenjian who refused to save his own son."

Gu Zhi also nodded, "Lingshan Pass finally dispatched troops after receiving the news that Qiancang was lost, and the leader of the army is General Yang's brother, Hussar General Yang Suqian."

Holding the steamed bun, Xie Yusheng marked the locations of Lingshan Pass, Qiancang City and Tianshui on the map, thoughtfully.

The previous news said that Rouran's vanguard army had entered Qiancang, but this time it can be said that Rouran came out in full force, and a large number of troops were still dawdling in the rear—or before leaving, they completely wiped out the six cities they plundered before. clean.

"This part should be the aristocratic class in Rouran. There are quite a few high-ranking Khan kings who have snatched enough gold, silver, jewelry, women and children, and want to go home before winter and live a happy life with meat, wine and wine without fighting. They knew that after fleeing back to their own territory, Dayan could not send troops to attack them in the freezing weather... This has almost become a law. Rouran plundered the frontier and returned before the arrival of the army. , those who get money and silk get money and silk, each has its own way..."

Xie Yusheng talked to himself in detail, and kept marking on the map the locations of the expulsion wars he had heard about in those years in the capital.

It's hard to believe, but after the comparison, it showed some meaning.

They are all in the south of the Tianshan Mountains.

"Tianshan, I should have thought about it earlier." Xie Yusheng threw away the steamed bun, bit his pen, and his mouth was filled with ink.

He pouted a few times angrily, and asked Gu Zhi, who was laughing pitifully, to point out the location of the ink stain and wipe it vigorously.

In the end, Gu Zhi stopped his hand that was about to scratch the innocent and innocent skin, found soap horns, held his face and slowly washed him.

"Is the young master going to Tianshan?" He asked calmly.

Xie Yusheng nodded, he decided to lead his troops northward to harass Rourou's rear.

That's right, they were very happy to burn, kill and loot in front, but if their families, children, and nobles' luggage were all attacked, would the soldiers in front still be able to rush so fast?

"Then I will wish the young master victory and return in advance."

Xie Yusheng choked suddenly, staring at his eyes and trying to speak but couldn't speak, he said for a long time, "What?"

won't you come with me

"With this shadow guard here, it's not my turn to worry about your son's safety, and it's too difficult to save your life." Gu Zhi also glanced at the window, "Ask yourself, these days, you have to treat you as the master." , guarding Tianshui, what I have done is enough to repay the kindness of the young master for saving me. Therefore, I have come to say goodbye."

"You... the people you saved were not me! Can the little things I do by staying by my side be worth what I did for you!" Xie Yusheng narrowed his eyes.

Opening your eyes wide when you are angry will only make you look cowardly and ridiculous, and lowering your brows will let the anger burn quietly in your heart, which can intimidate others even more.

Xie Yusheng silently recited the instructions from his mother when he was young.

"The life of a dead man is low, how can it not be worth it?" Gu Zhi gave him a funny look, "Does the young master have any other expectations for me?"

Xie Yusheng choked for breath, and after a while, said coldly, "Zhige, quit fifty feet."

Gu Zhi was still silently listening to the retreating footsteps of the shadow guards, and finally nodded to Xie Yusheng.

"Don't you like me? Why did you leave me? Don't you like someone else? Who!"

Gu Zhi still stared at Xie Yusheng's face as if he had discovered some ancient monster.

Is he serious?Gu Zhi also wondered in horror, is he too unpredictable or too stupid?

This question is destined to accompany him for the rest of his life, so he can't think clearly for a while.

After a long time, he laughed.

"Does the young master have such thoughts towards me?" He stood up, "The young master is just a young master, and the younger one is just a servant you rescued. How can there be any love between master and servant? The so-called 'scholar is a confidant'." Death', insignificant body, dare not be called a scholar, thanks to the wrong love of the young master."

He turned around and stepped out of the door, closing the door thoughtfully.

Xie Yusheng heard him calling for Gu Zhige to come back and continue to perform his duty of protection, he deliberately put it down so as not to startle the sound of ordinary people's footsteps getting further and further away.

They will leave him eventually.

What does it matter?

Xie Yusheng glanced at the steamed buns, it was just a matter of expediency to trick himself into swallowing such crude food every day.

He summoned the guards and asked them to invite General Yang to come and have a talk.

The battle to go north cannot be delayed.

He wanted to engrave his name heavily on the monumental stone of victory before Yang Suqian made his achievements.

That's right, Rouran failed in the end, only because Xie Yusheng, king of Jin, besieged Wei and rescued Zhao, shook their army's morale, and tried again and again to turn the tide.

He didn't have time to think about this little gain and loss.

It's night, south of Tianshui.

A group of people led horses and carried weapons of different styles, and solemnly said goodbye to Yang Suxiu who came to see him off.

"You righteous men have acted for the country and the people, and the kindness is as high as a mountain. I have nothing else to say. Let's drink this glass of thin wine, and wait until the day of victory and return, and then celebrate with a feast for the kings!"

The woman in yellow at the head of the group replied with a light smile, "Yes, at that time, I will celebrate the beauty of my Yanshan River and the courage of the people with the general, and I wish the general a victory!"

This woman is Qing Xiaozhong, the lord of Jiuwei Palace.

The cold-faced Ji Wuyou in red next to her mossed the whip around her waist, "It's also the right time for you and me to complete this competition to see who can win the head of the barbarian leader, who will be the winner of this generation!" By!"

Everyone laughed, drank the remaining wine, threw their cups on their horses, and left without hesitation.

Gu Zhi is still among them.

Yang Suxiu watched them disappear into the night, sighed, and told the left and right, "Go back, don't tell His Highness that the righteous men of the rivers and lakes went south. We will send troops to the north early tomorrow morning, and let the people of Rouran taste their wives and children." Scattered, ten rooms and nine empty tastes!"
