After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

three,

In the early morning of early spring, there is a thin mist in the air in the forest by the river again.

People's emotions seem to become ethereal and entangled.

Xie Xuan blinked his moist eyes, raised his wide robe sleeves, revealing his delicate fingertips, but touched the cold and sharp sword around his neck. hurt.

Gu Siyuan raised his eyebrows.

He stared at those beautiful fingers jumping on the edge of danger, feeling inexplicably something belonging to him was being violated by neglect.

Through the thin mist, his already stern face became colder and more inexplicably charming.

Xie Xuan clearly sensed that the person in front of him seemed unhappy, thinking that he didn't like being spied on, felt a little uneasy, and explained in a murmur, "I didn't peek on purpose."

Gu Siyuan's eyes were fixed, and his face was still as cold as before.

Xie Xuan was a little embarrassed.

Obviously he is the prince and has a high status, but with this man's expression on his face, he couldn't help but panic.

When the heart is in a mess, the hands are even more chaotic.

Originally, it was just a joke by playing with the blade of the sword, but this time, the delicate fingertips accidentally deflected, and really almost cut across the sharp blade.

Gu Siyuan's eyes turned cold, he stretched out his left hand, and grabbed the disobedient thin white fingers.

With this sudden movement, Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his fingertips.

Then, the entire palm fell into the wide and warm palm, and one could even clearly feel the hard and thin callus that this person had produced from holding the sword for a long time.

Gu Siyuan retracted the long sword with one hand and put it back into the sheath, but unconsciously tightened his strength with the other hand, feeling the unfamiliar but yearning slender and soft skin temperature in his palm.

Sure enough, it was as beautiful as imagined.

Xie Xuan's breathing was slightly chaotic, and his heart beat as if it was about to come out of his throat.

His mind was completely confused, he didn't know what this person wanted to do, but his fingers just couldn't use any strength, so he couldn't struggle out from the palm.

At this moment, Gu Siyuan slowly let go of his hand, and said coldly, "Don't touch the blade casually."

Xie Xuan twirled his fingertips, ignoring the slight sense of loss in his heart, and responded softly in a low voice: "Ah..."

It took a long while before he realized vaguely that this man seemed to be warning himself not to touch his sword just now.

Xie Xuan raised his head suddenly: "..."

Hello Gu Siyuan.

What happened to your sword, will it be dirty?Just hate yourself that much?

Fortunately, I just acted passionately?Bah, there is a fart.

Just an illusion.

Xie Xuan puffed his cheeks and gave him a vicious look.

"..." Gu Siyuan.

Looking at the changing face of the person in front of him.

He squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched the bulging cheek: "What's wrong? You got angry after talking well?"

Xie Xuan was even more annoyed, he glared at the person and said arrogantly: "You are bold, you dare to touch His Highness's face, and you even beat him up!"

Gu Siyuan looked calm, nodded: "Go and complain to His Majesty!"

"..." Xie Xuan.

How can this be exported?

Besides, it's not sure who his father thinks more about.

He puffed his cheeks unwillingly, and complained: "Why are you like this? You don't even know that His Royal Highness, Bai Chang is so big, but you are so stingy."

Gu Siyuan hummed helplessly.

Who the hell is stingy and gets angry at every turn?

He crossed his arms, leaned lazily on the big tree beside him, and asked softly: "The Sixth Highness came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Who is looking for you? The whole camp is just so big. It's not normal to pass by here." Xie Xuan waved his sleeves lightly, patted his neck, and regained his noble demeanor: "It's General Gu, next time you dance your sword. But Xiao Dianxin, if it is the father or the emperor brothers passing by, it may not be so easy."

Gu Siyuan pressed the hilt of the sword with his palm, looked sideways at Xie Xuan, and said in a cold voice, "Thank you, Your Highness Sixth, for your generosity."

"Is this the end?" Xie Xuan immediately opened his moist eyes, and asked back triumphantly, "Did you commit the crime of usurping just now?"

...I want to pinch my face again.

Gu Siyuan touched the rough pattern on the hilt with his fingers, nodded and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Xie Xuan coughed lightly, and the old god was there: "My Highness doesn't make things difficult for you, you just need to answer one of my Highness's questions honestly."

Gu Siyuan squinted at him.

He also said that he was passing by. Isn't it obvious that he came with a purpose?

This river is far away from the camp, very remote.

Xie Xuan was ashamed by his gaze, and said angrily, "You don't agree?"

Gu Siyuan's expression remained indifferent: "Let's listen."

Xie Xuan made up his mind.

Later, he stared at Gu Siyuan and asked slowly: "You... those assassins you caught, really didn't say anything?"

At the end, his tone was a little erratic, and he didn't know what answer he wanted to get.

Gu Siyuan lifted his eyelids and waved indifferently: "Come here."

Xie Xuan blinked and approached obediently in two steps: "Speak."

Gu Siyuan lowered his palm slightly, pinched his small chin, and forced him to look up. The two looked straight at each other, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter whether the assassin says it or not. His Highness Six should pretend he doesn't know anyway."

Xie Xuan's face was pale: "What do you mean?"

Gu Siyuan snorted coldly: "His Sixth Highness understands in his heart."

"Don't have unreasonable expectations for His Majesty, pretending that you don't know anything, at least for now you can be stable for a while, take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate strength, maybe there will be a day of escape in the future."

Xie Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, he raised his hand and grabbed the big palm on his chin, and looked straight at the person in front of him: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Gu Siyuan finally squeezed the soft cheeks, then withdrew his palm, with a calm expression: "I didn't say anything, it's getting late, your Majesty will be moving back to the palace today, and I have to go to take care of it, and leave. "

After finishing speaking, only a tall and cold figure was left behind.

The morning sun rises, and the mist like yarn in the forest clears away.

The light and shadow in Xie Xuan's beautiful pupils flickered, and a faint blue came out.

After a while, he gently rubbed his reddened chin and side face, as if he could still feel the warmth and thin calluses on the dry palm.

It was completely different from the palms of princes and grandchildren like him who were spoiled and spoiled since they were young. They were firm, steady, vigorous and powerful, as if they could hold up the whole world.

And when he was on the altar, it was indeed these big palms that protected him.

However, Xie Xuan still couldn't help curling his lips: "Just remind me, it's nothing to deliberately take advantage of it, but it looks serious, and it really puts on an air."

……

On this day, just after the hour of the hour, the mighty imperial driving team broke out of camp and set off for the palace.

The news about the collapse of the altar and the assassin inevitably spread.

Along the way, the common people pointed and discussed.

Gu Siyuan straddled in front of the team with a sword in his hand, and thought to himself: This is how a good ceremony has become, just to help his beloved son and beat another son, Emperor Jianzhao is really creative.

Qing County is only more than 80 miles away from the imperial city, and Yu Jia arrived at the gate of the palace in the evening of that day.

Whether it was because of failure to achieve the goal or other reasons, when he got out of the sedan chair, Emperor Jianzhao's face was not very good-looking.

In Qing County, all you need to do is deal with assassins.

After returning to Beijing, the troubles of this matter only started now?

There are assassins hidden under the good altar, not to mention other things, the Ministry of Works in charge of construction must bear the brunt; secondly, the Ministry of Rites and the people in charge of supervising the progress of the Qin Tianjian are also inevitable.

In addition, there is also the commander of the Beijing camp who came to clear the venue and guard it a few days before the ceremony officially started, and he also committed serious crimes of dereliction of duty.

And these people, since they can turn a blind eye and close their eyes to let the assassin in, no matter what the purpose is, they are actually doing things for the fourth prince Xie Huan.

If Emperor Jianzhao punished him severely, wouldn't he be breaking Xie Huan's arm.

Because Xie Huan did not have the support of his mother's family, his power was weaker than the other princes, and most of them were secretly handed over to him by Emperor Jianzhao.

However, it is absolutely impossible not to deal with it.

If the matter of assassinating the emperor is lightly let go, not to mention that the courtiers and Xie Xuan will be very suspicious, but how many people will follow suit in the future, and they will collude and commit crimes if nothing happens?

Emperor Jianzhao also cherished his life.

In addition to these considerations, what is even more frightening now is that after hearing what happened in Qing County, Concubine Lu Gui of the Harem immediately rushed to the gate of Huangji Palace crying.

Emperor Jianzhao was so annoyed that he regretted finding such a shield for the first time.

Gu Siyuan, as a general of the Royal Forest Army, is only subordinate to the chief and deputy commanders.

Except for Yujia traveling, when he was in the palace, his main daily defense areas were the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Palace of Qianqing, and the Hall of Huangji. Basically, wherever Emperor Jianzhao was, he would be there.

This time, according to his usual temperament, he reached out his hand to block Concubine Lu Gui with a cold face: "Your Majesty handles political affairs in the Huangji Palace, and no one in the harem is allowed to enter without permission."

The surrounding colleagues, including the eunuchs and maids, all looked at him with admiration.

As we all know, His Majesty loves Concubine Lu Gui very much, and has never refused to see Concubine Lu Gui.

But Gu Xun, this guy, seems like a piece of wood that has not been cultivated for thousands of years, he always stops Concubine Lu Gui, he is really not afraid of offending anyone.

Concubine Lu Gui is 40 years old, but she is well-maintained. She has a straightforward personality, is full of energy, and her dress style is also gorgeous and glamorous. At first glance, she looks like thirty people.

Although she was stopped by Gu Siyuan at this time, she didn't get angry. This kind of thing has happened many times, and she is very clear about the temper of this general Gu Lang. It is impossible to expect him to be selfish, so she can only squint at the little eunuch next to her. : "Seeing that Bengong is coming, why don't you go in and report?"

"Yes." The little eunuch ran in immediately.

Concubine Lu Gui flicked the bright red armor on her hand, then looked at Gu Siyuan and said, "I heard that General Gu Lang saved Xuan'er at the ceremony?"

Gu Siyuan's expression was cold: "I'm in charge of guarding the festival. It's my duty to protect the safety of His Highness the Sixth Highness, not to mention rescue."

Concubine Lu Gui smiled: "Anyway, I still want to thank General Gu Lang."

Gu Siyuan didn't answer.

Seeing him like this, Concubine Lu Gui didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, her steps turned slightly, and she was about to walk into the Emperor Palace again.

The next moment, Gu Siyuan quickly stopped him again.

Concubine Lu Gui frowned: "I have sent people in to report, and His Majesty will definitely summon you soon."

Gu Siyuan remained calm and said: "Then wait for His Majesty's order to come."

Emperor Jianzhao naturally heard the commotion outside. Although he had always had a good impression of Gu Consult, this time, he was really aware of Gu Consult.

If all his courtiers were as honest as Gu Consulting, and he was the only one to do everything, why would he still have so many troubles?

Wang Chengying on the side reminded again: "Your Majesty? The imperial concubine is asking to see you outside?"

Emperor Jianzhao frowned and gave him a blank look.

I heard it a long time ago, I need you to remind me, I don't have any vision.

After another moment of silence, he raised his hand and signaled Wang Chengying to go out and lead someone in.

In the evening, the setting sun is like fire.

Gu Siyuan stood on the high steps outside the Huangji Hall, listening to Concubine Lu Gui crying and making noise inside.

I don't know how long it took before the movement stopped.

There was a sound of clinking rings, Concubine Lu Gui's eyes were slightly red, followed by two people, holding a bunch of rewards and walking out of the gate of Huangji Hall.

When passing by Gu Siyuan, Concubine Lu Gui stopped and took out a few rewards from the pile and threw them down.

"General Gu Lang, although it is your duty to protect Xuan'er, I am not that stingy, so I will reward you with these things."

After finishing speaking, he walked away arrogantly.

The imposing manner of a noble concubine who favors the sixth palace is vividly interpreted.

Gu Siyuan glanced at the things on the ground, sneered, pretended not to see them, and went back to his post.

Wang Chengying, who was escorting Concubine Lu Gui out, smiled helplessly.

He is on duty by His Majesty's side, so he naturally knows that Gu Siyuan has always looked down on Concubine Lu Gui and the Lu family.

However, these are all gifts from the imperial court, how can they be left hanging on the ground like this.

He ordered his little eunuch to pick it up, handed it to Gu Siyuan, and said with a good-tempered smile: "General Gu Lang, the imperial concubine is generous, you can't play your temper, your majesty will be unhappy if you know."

Gu Siyuan glanced at him, then reluctantly took the things and stuffed them into his sleeves casually.

Wang Chengying entered the hall with a smile.

Emperor Jianzhao looked at him and asked nonchalantly, "Siyuan is being disrespectful to the imperial concubine again?"

Wang Chengying heard that His Majesty's words were powerful, but his tone was light. Knowing that His Majesty was actually very satisfied with Gu Siyuan's performance, he quickly explained what happened just now.

Emperor Jianzhao scolded softly: "This dog has a temper."

Wang Chengying also smiled and said: "General Gu Lang is like this, except for you, the Holy One, who has he given face to?"

Emperor Jianzhao was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "The imperial concubine cares about Xuan'er and rewards Siyuan, so I should reward him with something too. I heard that the warehouse has newly presented a nice sword..."

After Youshi, Gu Siyuan changed shifts with his colleagues from the Yulin Army, and went out of the palace with the newly acquired sword to return home.

Gu Siyuan's grandmother, the Cao family, was Emperor Jianzhao's wet nurse, and she had a deep affection in the past. After Emperor Jianzhao came to the throne, he was given a small house not far from the foot of the imperial city.

Although Mrs. Cao had passed away for several years, the house still remained.

Gu Siyuan's father, Gu Guangyao, more than ten years ago, after defending Emperor Jianzhao from an arrow, always complained of headaches and headaches. Emperor Jianzhao arranged for him a leisurely purchasing position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there was a lot of money.

When Gu Siyuan arrived home, the hall of the Gu residence was brightly lit and the atmosphere was warm, and dinner was being served.

As soon as he came in, the air seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone's expressions changed.

Especially his step-brother and step-sister trembled even more, obviously having lingering fear of Yuan.

Gu Guangyao frowned, and scolded: "Why are you back at this time, didn't you accompany your Majesty to the ceremony?"

Gu Siyuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said casually: "Yesterday, there were assassins in the festival, so Yu Jia returned to Luan early."

Gu Guangyao was shocked: "Your Majesty was assassinated?"

If there is anyone who sincerely hopes that Emperor Jianzhao will live a long life, then Gu Guangyao is definitely one of them. He drinks wine, eats tea and fights crickets every day, and Emperor Jianzhao gave him this good life. Not sure how?

He immediately scolded angrily: "Aren't you in charge of protecting His Majesty? Why are you so useless? You actually let His Majesty be assassinated?"

Gu Siyuan glanced at him coldly: "Who said His Majesty was assassinated?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the group of people and walked directly towards his yard.

"You bastard!" Gu Guangyao slapped the table angrily.

After Gu Siyuan returned to his yard, he opened the door wide open, first put down the sword in his hand, and then took out a few things on his body.

This is what Concubine Lu Gui said today as a reward for him.

After a while, Gu Siyuan looked at the falling gray powder and smelled it lightly, like spices.

Frowning for a moment, he lit it with a torch.

After that, he loudly ordered the people outside to bring over a dinner.

Gu Siyuan was well-known in the mansion, even Gu Guangyao was not as tough as him, as soon as he ordered, three dishes, one soup and a large bowl of rice were delivered within half a cup of tea time.

The three dishes are mutton with sauerkraut, steamed fat chicken, garlic eggplant, and the soup is soup with meatballs, cabbage and tofu.

Gu Guangyao is a person who likes to enjoy himself, and Gu's cooks are quite good.

Gu Siyuan tasted a few mouthfuls, and then started to eat. Just when the food was almost finished, there was a slight movement outside the window.

A snow-white pigeon with no blemishes, its slender claws firmly stepped on the window coffin, peered into the room, its eyes the size of mung beans were quite intelligent and charming.

Gu Siyuan raised his eyebrows, pulled a little of the remaining rice in the basin into his palm, spread it out to the little guy, and whistled lightly.

The pigeon's small mung bean-like eyes stared at him for a long while before flying over with flapping wings, as if finally realizing that the man in front of him was harmless.

Gu Siyuan's eyesight is very good, he had seen the small note tied to its leg earlier, and was about to reach out to take it off.

In the end, I don't know if Xie Xuan abused the old pigeon. Its head stuck in the rice and couldn't come out. When Gu Siyuan wanted to touch it, he just jumped up and kicked him.

But Gu Siyuan is naturally not a good person, if he can't be soft, he can be hard, grabbing its small back, turning it over and pressing it on the table, and forcefully took off the note.

After a long while, the pigeon was still lying on the table motionless, its wings were reservedly covering its abdomen, and the little mung bean had indescribable eyes, as if it had never seen such a rough human being.

After reading the contents of the note, Gu Siyuan glanced at it and said with a sneer, "If you play dead again, I'll throw you into the chicken coop for breeding."

"..."

Uncle Pigeon, the whole pigeon was messed up in the wind.

In the next moment, "噗" jumped far away, it wanted to stay away from this horrible and cruel human being, and it wanted to go back and complain to the fragrant and soft master.

Only now does it know how good its master is, and it will no longer be picky eaters in the future.

In the main courtyard of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Xie Xuan was holding a book in his hand, staring at a certain page, and hadn't flipped it for a long time.

At this moment, "Plopping..."

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Xie Xuan turned his head immediately, without opening his hand, Uncle Pigeon had already rushed over eagerly.

Xie Xuan's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he habitually raised his hand to touch its smooth feathers first. Uncle Pigeon didn't resist for the first time, and stayed under his palm obediently for a long time, and the little mung bean looked at him affectionately.

"..." Xie Xuan.

Is there something wrong with this?

Normally, in the Prince's Mansion, Uncle Pigeon is the boss and he is the second child. What's going on today?

He also stared at Uncle Pigeon with scorching eyes and said, "Did I make a mistake? Did you do something bad?"

Uncle Pigeon remained motionless, still affectionate.

Xie Xuan was confused, and stared at it: "Could it be that the letter I just asked you to bring didn't go to deliver it, did it go to someone's kitchen in the middle of the flight?"

As he said that, Xie Xuan stretched out his hand to pull its legs, only to find that the small bamboo tube was empty and had been taken away.

Now, Xie Xuan no longer cared about Uncle Pigeon, and aimed at Gu Siyuan full of resentment.

"Hmph, since I saw it, why don't I reply to the letter, I'm really putting on airs."

"Who is the Sixth Highness scolding?"

A cold but casual and familiar male voice suddenly sounded outside the window that was purposely opened wide.

……
