Rebel

Huai Xin let go of Gu Ao, let out a long breath, wiped away tears, said: "I guarded the boy all night, and in the morning, I was in a trance, which made you laugh."

Gu Ao withdrew his far eyes, and then he focused on the person in front of him: "...that fear of heat, I didn't think about it but was cured by the little girl... This is really..."

Huai Xin smiled wryly: "When I went to hug her, I didn't care whether she was hot or cold... When I really hugged her in my arms, I felt the heat, but I thought the heat would never dissipate." Okay...but she is still getting colder bit by bit." Huai Xin shed tears again as she spoke.

Gu Ao sighed.

Huai Xin lowered her head and said: "...my little girl, if she grows up sooner, it will be better. If my illness is cured by her sooner... Mr. Yun and my friend, it's a pity that after so many years, he didn't even I haven't sat close to it once."

Seeing that he was too sad today, Gu Ao couldn't help saying: "The three of us were in the academy at the time, studying together, discussing the Tao together, our minds are all close, why bother to think about these trivial matters..."

Huai Xin's eyes were red, and she shook her head: "The last time I saw Mr. Yun was at the foot of Yunshan Mountain. When I was sent back to Shangjun, I still remembered that it was snowing that day. Before I left, I thought about Guanshan being far away. I don't know when we will see each other, so I want to hug and say goodbye. But at that time, he only had you in his eyes, and I knew that I was afraid of heat, so I couldn't speak, so I didn't expect it to be forever."

Gu Ao patted Huai Xin's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice: "...When Mr. Yun passed away, I was not sad. But this road must be walked by the living after all. Since we survived, The burden is even heavier."

Huai Xin said: "...I know, you always look forward, not backward."

Seeing that Gu Ao didn't speak, Huai Xin said again: "Anyway, my life is in Rong's land. Miss Dian died to fight against Rong, and she died to save me. She is so loyal, I can marry even with a memorial tablet."

Gu Ao saw that Huai Xin was getting more and more gloomy, and said: "Why is this so? The thirteen tribes of the Rong people have been defeated by our army, King Zuo Xian is still imprisoned in the dungeon of Yuyang, and King You Xian is useless Yes, Princess Rong, who is in charge of Rongdu, is now comforted by Dian’s ignorance. There is no chance of winning.

Huai Xin heard the words, stared at the ground in a daze, eyes straightened, Gu Ao said: "Since you have been guarding all night, you should go to rest, resisting the army is a long-term strategy, don't burn your body."

Huai Xin came back to her senses, nodded numbly, and said, "Yes."

Gu Ao said softly, "You go."

Gu Ao went back to the room alone, when he passed through the inner courtyard of the mansion, Gu Ao stopped and asked the guard, "Where is Governor Yu?"

The guard jumped up, hurriedly stood up straight, and said: "To the King of Han, I don't know, I was there this morning."

Gu Ao nodded, walked to the courtyard, came to the door of the study, and asked the waiter of Shouli: "...Where is the prefect Yu?"

The waiter saluted and reported: "... Eunuch Yu was waiting in the small study in the side room. Later, when he saw that the King of Han and Mr. Huai had gone out, he came over and asked us if he was going to inspect the defense. He returned today. I couldn’t come back. Later, seeing that there were no carriage guards outside the door, I knew that I must have left the mansion, so the prefect Yu came back to us, saying that he had gone to find the King of Han, and never came back.”

Gu Ao said: "Let someone go and ask where Governor Yu has gone."

"Yes."

Gu Ao went back to the study with his hands behind his back, and called Gu Qian to ask Yuyang's defense.

Not long after Gu Qian left, someone came to report and said: "Prefect Yu took a thousand horses and headed north. I heard from a new lieutenant of the White Feather Army in central Guizhou that the prefect Yu was looking for the "Liu Zhishan". the nomadic leader."

Gu Ao put down his pen, and after a while he said, "Got it."

After eating alone at noon, Gu Ao leaned back on the chair and squinted for a while, but unexpectedly fell into a light sleep dream all of a sudden.

In the dream, Gu Ao only saw an empty flat land in front of him.There was a shadow of a person standing on the flat ground, he couldn't see it clearly, Gu Ao tried hard to see clearly, but felt his body was lifted up by that person.

Passing through the clouds, the shadow led Gu Ao to wander around in the vast sky, and saw the end of the sky, deep in the clouds, tall buildings and mansions, singing and dancing, flowers blooming like brocade, like heaven and earth.

Gu Ao couldn't help admiring: "What a beautiful scene! Show me a look, this life is not in vain! Even if I fall, I am willing!"

The shadow stood by his side, finally revealing a fairy-like jade face, vaguely but with a clear voice: "Is that so?"

Suddenly the fairy waved his hand, and as far as Gu Ao could see, all the flowers withered, all the rare birds and beasts turned into walking corpses and skeletons, and all the fertile flower fields turned into barren wilderness, brilliant blue. The sky turned into a dark and gloomy mist.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ao felt displeased and asked, "Where is this?"

But seeing that the fairy's original jade face now showed half of the ghost king's face, he said fiercely: "Can't you see it? This is hell."

Gu Ao smiled and said: "You are really capable, turning your hands is heaven, and turning your hands is hell." Gu Ao felt that he vaguely knew who that person was, and sure enough, the man said: "Naturally, I will bring Tiangang with me. Everyman."

Gu Ao said: "Since you can turn into heaven, the world is already like purgatory, why do you turn into hell to make people suffer?"

The man approached Gu Ao and said: "Where did I conjure hell, you will see again?"

Gu Ao opened his eyes and looked again, only to see that the scene had returned to its original state, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, everywhere was up and down, isn't it gentle and beautiful like heaven?

Gu Ao was very suspicious, he said: "What trick did you use?"

Half of that person's face was a jade face, and half of his face was an evil spirit. He suddenly smiled, with red lips and white teeth on one side of the smile, and ghostly fangs on the other, he said: "What trick did I play? It's clearly you The mood is different, and the look is different."

"You are talking nonsense!" Gu Ao took a step forward and grabbed the man, as soon as Gu Ao exerted force, the man immediately turned into a ghost, and laughed at Gu Ao: "—Follow your heart, this is the ghost in your heart. "

Gu Ao let go, the man stood far away, the scenery returned to the original, and became sunny again, the man also smiled warmly at Gu Ao.

The man approached Gu Ao and said: "Think about it carefully, in fact it is very easy for me to kill you," he whispered charmingly: "It depends on whether you are a ghost or a king in your heart."

Gu Ao was startled, only felt his back was full of sweat, and he had already woken up.Looking around again, it is clearly noon, the scorching sun is in the sky, the sun shines into the study, and the golden glow sprinkles on the desk, where is there any heaven and hell?

Gu Ao rubbed his forehead and said to himself: "Why am I so tired? My mood is so empty and restless. Otherwise, with a strong will and perseverance, how can I have such a dream?"

Then he thought: "After all, it's for Jun Fan's business." Thinking of this, Gu Ao laughed at himself: "I'm useless, I fell in love with Jun Fan because I love his heroism, he can fight everywhere with me And no regrets, you can conspire with my comrade without complaint, why don't you want to see him now?"

Thinking of this, Gu Ao suddenly felt relieved: "I knew that he was a sharp blade, but now I don't want to control this sharpness, but think that he cut me, and I am angry with myself. If I really With such a small measure, just buy some domestic girls to play in the house as soon as possible, they will definitely not disobey me. Don’t say that they abandoned me during the war, they are just people who are waiting for me to feed, they should beg me Don't abandon them. Since I knew that he was a prince, I went to tease him, why did I lose my ambition today?"

He thought again: "Before he was too gentle, and his obedience and obedience made me drown in the gentleness, and I forgot who he is."

Gu Ao laughed at himself for a while, as if all the mist in his heart had been dispelled by the golden light.Now I want to see Yu Junfan very much, but I really want to see him, but I am not in a hurry. I didn't send anyone to invite him, but I started to think about how to use this as an agreement, turn the gap into an opportunity, and make the two of them more harmonious. Some are better.

Chen Jiang came to report: "The patriarchs of all the big clans in Yuyang and Shangjun have come, and the banquet has been prepared. When will the King of Han come?"

Gu Ao straightened his clothes and said, "After changing clothes, let's go."

The banquet was lively, and Gu Ao was very drunk in the end, and the guests of honor returned home happily.Back in the house, under the service of the waiter, Gu Ao fell asleep.At night, Gu Ao suddenly fell asleep unsteadily, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a dark shadow standing in front of the window in the darkness.

The next moment, the carved dagger under Gu Ao's pillow was already comparable to the neck of the man in the shadow: "... who?"

The man didn't answer, but kicked his boots, climbed onto the bed, and approached Gu Ao.Gu Ao knew who it was, so he moved the dagger back little by little, but the man approached without hesitation, and the bloody smell still came from the tip of the sword, and he whispered: "Brother Ao, You can't sleep well, you kicked the quilt to the ground just now, and I picked it up for you when I came in."

The sword fell to the ground with a bang, and Gu Ao stretched out his arms and pulled the person in front of him. The wet lips were particularly clear in the darkness. The two kissed each other like biting. A hint of salty rust.

Gu Ao's palm touched roughly along the neckline, but his wrist was grabbed: "You don't want to see me during the day, so what are you doing now?"

Gu Ao laughed secretly, "You also know that I don't want to see you." Following the smell of blood, Gu Ao's palm moved up to the wound, wiped off the bright red blood, and wiped it on his face.Something held Gu Ao's hand in the darkness, and then the tip of his hot tongue came up, gently licking the blood from Gu Ao's finger.

Gu Ao caressed his face lightly, and deliberately said: "Why, you are making me unhappy, so you want to serve me on the bed?"

The opposite person lowered his head and kissed Gu Ao's hand for a long while, then leaned closer and asked, "Can I do that?"

Gu Ao stretched out his hand and unbuttoned a button of his obscene clothes, and opened his chest: "...that depends on how well you serve."
