General's humble stand-in

Unknowingly, late autumn was replaced by early winter, and bits and pieces of winter snow fell profusely.

Tao Zhuo was wrapped in a dark blue satin blue and white jacket, rubbing his hands that were red with cold, standing on tiptoe outside the tent, looking at the white path.

It has been three days since the general led the army out of the camp to wipe out the remnants of the barbarians. Tao Zhuo counts the time with his fingers every day, looking forward to it from sunrise to sunset.The black hair is covered with white snow, like a standing statue, it will not move back to the camp until the night is full of stars and peaches are burning.

After another two days of lovesickness, when the golden sunshine in the morning covered the white snow, Tao Zhuo saw the vast snow and fog flying up in the distant sky, and the sound of horseshoes whistled into his ears.

Tao Zhuo rushed out of the barracks like a flying arrow.Bai Xue was trampled on and creaked, leaving a string of peachy footprints like happy musical notes.

Far away, Gu Ye saw Tao Zhuo's figure, and he was stunned for a moment.You remember the first time he went out, when he came back from victory, he fantasized that Ziyu would run like this and throw himself into his arms, and then they held hands and begged the emperor for his blessing.

Unexpectedly, when he returned from the first expedition, he was lost.

The wind and snow entered the eyes, blurring Gu Ye's vision.

When Tao Zhuo was in front of him, Gu Ye raised his hand to signal the army to stop.

Tao Zhuo raised his head and looked up, the general he was thinking about had sunken cheeks and dark eyes, and a small stubble grew on the corner of his lips.Thin and tired and haggard.

Gu Ye lowered his head and looked down, only to see Tao Zhuo's cheeks were flushed, and he was running out of breath.Although the life in the military camp was not comfortable, his skin was much more delicate than when he first came here, and his face had a naive baby fat, especially those round almond eyes, which were always shining like stars.

Staring at each other, but speechless to each other.

After a while, Gu Ye leaned over slightly, and handed his rough and cracked right hand to Tao Zhuo.

Clasping ten fingers together, Tao Zhuo felt a warm current blowing over his body in the ice and snow.While still in a trance, Gu Ye had already dragged him onto the horse's back.Leaning against Gu Ye's strong and tough chest, hearing the whistling wind in his ears, he could vaguely feel Gu Ye whispering against his shoulder, why did you come here?

The erratic sound seemed to come from far away, making Tao Zhuo feel untouchable.

"General." Facing the wind and snow, Tao Zhuo asked distressedly, "Are you tired?"

After a while, the weight on the shoulders became heavier, and Gu Ye's chin and shoulder bones felt pain.

"Tired." Gu Ye's voice was deep.As if looking for a harbor, the hand hugging Tao Zhuo's waist tightened again, "Very tired."

After returning to the barracks, Tao Zhuo first ran to the food camp to urge to prepare food for the general, and then boiled two large buckets of water for the general to take a bath to relieve fatigue.While boiling the water, he ran to Shen Feng to get Huang Jing and Huang Qi, both of which were used to resist fatigue.

Shen Feng leaned against the table and flipped through "Compendium of Materia Medica", lazily reminding, "Don't be too busy, the army is victorious, and the troops will return to the court soon, these two days are to celebrate military achievements, the general has no time to recuperate. "

Tao Zhuo was stunned for a while holding the medicinal material, then raised the corner of his lips, "It's okay, I'll prepare it first, the general will use it sooner or later."

Shen Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at Tao Zhuo, then snorted again, and stopped talking to him.

As Shen Feng said, Tao Zhuo didn't see Gu Ye's figure for a whole day, until the middle of the night, Gu Ye, who smelled of alcohol, walked into the tent unsteadily.

"General." Tao Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The drunken Gu Ye's eyes were a little dull, but there was a lake-like tranquility and clarity in his eyes.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Gu Ye held the herbal tea handed over by Tao Zhuo with both hands, frowned after taking a sip, tilted his head like a naive child and asked Tao Zhuo, "What did you give me to drink?"

"It's herbal tea to relieve fatigue." While talking, Tao Zhuo picked up a square towel to wipe off the tea stains from the corner of Gu Ye's mouth.

Gu Ye lowered his eyes and muttered, "It's not good."

The legendary God of War who is invincible in all battles, and General Gu who frightened the barbarians, is now like a cute child, with pure and clean eyes without any impurities.Tao Zhuo's heart was pounding, he raised his trembling hand, and put the cool palm on Gu Ye's hot cheek.

The charcoal fire in the basin crackled, as if scalding Tao Zhuo's heart, the blood all over his body boiled.

Gu Ye's long and narrow eyes stared at Tao Zhuo's fair and clean face, his eyes were blurred and slow.After a while, Gu Ye turned his head and pressed his lips on Tao Zhuo's palm.

The warm breath almost burned Tao Zhuo, he suddenly retracted his hand like a convulsion, and held the palm that was still warm, flustered, helpless, and lost.
