Gu Ao also smiled, his eyes were gentle: "What are you laughing at?"

Yu Junfan shook his head, Gu Ao stretched out his arm, and with the distance between the two horses, his fingertips touched Yu Junfan's shoulder and Yu Junfan's hair.Yu Junfan pulled Gu Ao's finger, put it to his lips and bowed his head to kiss it.

What Gu Ao and Yu Junfan didn't notice was that this scene fell into the eyes of another person.That person was Gu Qian who was standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance, dressed in military uniform.When Gu Qian saw the two making out, he was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered Tian Xiaoniu's visit to Hanzhong to meet Gu Ao, and felt sour for some reason.

"General Gu, the King of Han is back."

Gu Qian waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate."

Approaching Yuyang City, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate opened, and Gu Ao and Yu Junfan entered the city together.Gu Qian followed Gu Ao with eyes, first watched him enter Yuyang, then watched him pass Wengcheng, and then watched him enter the city.

A feeling of aggrieved that was very familiar since childhood gradually overwhelmed Gu Qian.He thought that when he became a general, he became a person trusted by many subordinates by virtue of his military exploits, and he became a master—this feeling would disappear.But he was wrong, why did Gu Ao get more than him since he was a child, even though he didn't work as hard as he did?Tian Xiaoniu is about to leave the court, when he went to visit his godfather and godmother before, he could always see Mrs. Xin and his godmother doing needlework together, chatting with nothing but Gu Ao and Tian Xiaoniu.

But Gu Ao was in the army, and he knew about the matter with Governor Yu, and Mrs. Xin was eagerly looking forward to sending her daughter!Thinking of this, Gu Qian became even more angry.

He is not as good as Gu Ao, this is his fate.His godfather, the old boss, had already figured it out for him.However, the old boss said that although his life is not as good as Gu Ao's, his life is also precious. He can be a master, be able to do a career, and have great achievements.

——These words really touched his heart.Compared with his own father who always scolded him for being a dog and eating shit, and who once kicked him out of the house, he felt that what the old boss said was the truth.

Gu Qian was convinced of this, so he jumped into the sea of ​​swords and fire without blinking his eyes, never sparing himself.Who doesn't know that he, the general, fought with desperate vigor?

He hopes that one day he can become the "superior man" as the old chief said.

But even so, he is conflicted about this fate now.

He believed in his fate, but at this moment he didn't want to believe that he would never get everything like Gu Ao.

The feeling in Gu Qian's heart today did not come for no reason.It turns out that Gu Ao has not returned to Hanzhong for a long time, Tian Xiaoniu has already grown into a plump little beauty, Mrs. Xin is anxious, Gu Ao has already become the king of Han, if her daughter can be a concubine, she will be a side concubine, before Gu Ao Seeing which big family's daughter is hired as a concubine, she wants to let her daughter enter the palace first.She couldn't make up her mind about this, so she talked to Master Tian.Master Tian also thought so, so he told Gu Ben about it.

However, Gu Ben said: "The war in the north is tight and the supplies are scarce. Sending the little girl there now, I'm afraid I will wrong her. Why don't you wait until Gu Ao wins the north and returns to Hanzhong, then the two will be compatible... The little girl is now Not too old, at such a young age, you have held her in your palm since childhood, and now you are willing to let her go to Yuyang alone?"

Master Tian said: "... we can go together."

Gu Ben sighed: "Soldiers, it is a major event for the country. Now there are many wars. The plank road was destroyed a while ago. It is said that the soldiers and horses of the Rong people are approaching the city of Yuyang. The food in the city is almost exhausted, and everything outside the city is burnt... …Not to mention that we all went together this time, and it was very inconvenient to drag our family with us; just talking about eating, I went to Yuyang, as if I were in Hanzhong, and it was impossible to eat such a plate of fresh fish. Going to Yuyang is not Suffer...you and I are old, so why not wait a year or two?"

Mr. Tian thought about it, and besides, Tian Xiaoniu is still young. In the eyes of Mr. Tian, ​​his daughter is still a little girl, and he is reluctant to send her away as a wife so early.

Master Tian said to Mrs. Xin when he returned, "The chick is still young, she is just a fluffy girl, just wait."

Mrs. Xin saw that Mr. Tian had hit a wall, so she had no choice but to lower her face and asked her eldest son Tian Song to write to Tian Rong, hoping that Tian Rong would say a few words in front of Gu Ao.As a result, Tian Rong wrote back and said: "The matter that my brother entrusted to my younger brother should have gone through fire and water, but now my younger brother is working for the King of Han in Rongdu all day long, separated by thousands of miles, and has no chance to meet the king. It is really powerless."

Mrs. Xin had no choice but to find Gu Shi again. Gu Shi was still soft-hearted and easy to talk, and said: "The old man is also afraid of wronging us girls. Yuyang is hard, and the food is not as good as Hanzhong. My son, you have grown up with him, and it’s not that you don’t know that when he concentrates on doing things, he can’t pull back nine cows. It’s like this when he was studying... At that time, he was standing under the shade of a tree to read, what should I call him? He ignores me. Now, I'm just afraid that he'll focus on the affairs of the court and neglect our little girl..." Gu Shi took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears: "Isn't that the wife before him? ...That's it...even Jiang'er was left behind. That's why the old man said, he will return to Hanzhong to take care of it when he is done with the affairs of the court."

Mrs. Xin comforted Mrs. Gu and said: "...our little girl is not a wild girl in the mountains. There are some men who do things outside and don't care about the family. Don't talk about showing anger, she won't even if she doesn't want to." It can be comforting. I have told the little girl since I was a child that you will marry the big brother of the Gu family in the future. What about big brother?"

After hearing this, Gu Shi thought of Tian Xiaoniu's cute appearance again, and said with emotion: "Really, this child really has a heart!"

Mrs. Xin said: "That's right!"

Gu Shi sighed, and said: "In fact, I also hope that there will be more caring people around Ao'er."

Mrs. Xin hurriedly said: "Oh, poor parents in the world, who is not like this? In my opinion, it would be better if I send the little girl to Yuyang City, even if it is to meet the King of Han."

Gu Shi hesitated and said, "But along the way..."

Mrs. Xin said: "What are you afraid of? I'll ask Tian Bai to accompany us. When he was at the foot of Longshan Mountain, the King of Han asked him to train him to be a family soldier, so he can escort us along the way."

Gu Shi said: "I'd better talk to the old man about this first."

Mrs. Xin said with a smile: "What's the matter? When the girl and I arrive in Yuyang, it's not too late for you to talk. Then you can just prepare the dowry."

Gu Shi said: "But the road is difficult..."

Mrs. Xin held Gu Shi's hand and said, "Good sister, are you willing to let my son-in-law have no one to take care of him day and night?"

Gu Shi finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.

When Mrs. Xin took Tian Xiaoniu away, Mrs. Tian noticed it.Although she noticed it, she didn't tell the matter to Mr. Tian who always went to Hanwang's mansion for tea.Mrs. Tian thought to herself: "People treat your daughter as a treasure, and they say they have to wait until they return to Hanzhong. What do you think of your daughter? I care about you." But thinking of Tian Xiaoniu's cute little appearance, she felt Can't help but sigh: "Who made you have such a mother!"

However, Mrs. Xin had some calculations in her heart: "What side wife and main wife are all false. If my son-in-law really returns to Hanzhong to have a free time in the future, how can the king not have three wives and four concubines? At that time, my daughter will enter the palace As a side concubine, with her appearance, she may not be favored." Mrs. Xin couldn't help sighing when she thought of her daughter's chubby round face, and then thought: "The side concubine and the main concubine don't even have any children. Really. Now my son-in-law is alone in Yuyang, and it is only reasonable to let the chick get close to him while there are no such charmers around him."

After a few days of driving, he approached Yuyang, and was soon spotted by Gu Qian's city guards. When he heard that it was Tian Xiaoniu who came to Yuyang, Gu Qian felt that he was running over like a girl.Even though he had to act like a general in front of outsiders, Gu Qian couldn't hold back his excitement.

He couldn't help thinking at that time:

... Has the little fat man gained weight again?

... Did the little fat man come to see me?

... Did little fat man miss me?

With countless thoughts, Gu Qian led the people expressionlessly, set up a guard of honor under the city, and greeted the convoy.But when he saw Tian Bai's eyes, Gu Qian's heart turned cold.I saw Tian Bai sitting at the front of the motorcade, with his legs crossed, his expression was still the same as before, but his clothes were more expensive.When he was young, Gu Qian and Tian Bai were still masters and servants, so they didn't provoke him very much. At this time, Gu Qian's body and mind were washed by the blood on the battlefield several times, seeing that Tian Bai was still the same, he smiled inwardly.

This smile made Tian Bai a little scared, he only felt that the man in military uniform in front of him was riding on the horse, and his whole body was full of bravery.

Tian Bai straightened his neck, raised his head, raised his chin with some contempt in his eyes, and said to Gu Qian: "Ergou, don't you recognize me?"

The word 'two dogs' represents Gu Qian's unbearable situation in Tianjiazhuang.Hearing Tian Bai yelling in front of his subordinates, Gu Qian couldn't help but said, "Gu Ao still called me General Gu in front of outsiders. Are you supporting me too? Forget it, since you belong to Xiao Niu's brother." For the sake of it, I don't care about you."

Then he said loudly: "Who am I? It turns out to be the second son of Tian. Please come to the city."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the car moved, and Gu Qian knew that there must be Tian Xiaoniu inside, he couldn't help feeling proud and happy, and unconsciously puffed out his chest.

When he arrived in the city, Tian Bo looked around the city and asked, "Where is the county mansion? We are here to see the King of Han."

Gu Qian said: "The king of Han and the prefect of Yu have left the city to go to the camp. I don't know if they will come back tonight."

Hearing this, Tian Bai lowered his head and lifted the curtain, said something inside, then stretched out his head again: "Then arrange for us to live in the county mansion."

Gu Qian said: "I can't arrange this, I only care about defense."

Tian Bai asked: "Then who can arrange it?"

Gu Qian said: "For this matter, you need to contact Mr. Chen, the Prime Minister of the county."

Tian Bai said: "Ergou, help me find it."

Gu Qian said: "I still have official duties, I will not accompany you, I will leave first."

Despite what he said, after Gu Qian rode away, he still went to find Chen Jiang and said, "Second Master Tian is here, and he brought his sister with him, his mother, you arrange to stay in the other building for one night, tomorrow they I want to see the King of Han."

Chen Jiang was taken aback, and said: "Why is it here at this time?" Then Chen Jiang asked Gu Qian in a low voice: "Could it be... that the news about King Han and Governor Yu has reached Hanzhong?"

Gu Qian shrugged: "I don't know. Anyway, I don't think Hanwang and Miss Tian are a good match."

Gu Qian left after speaking.

At this time, Gu Qian happened to see Gu Ao returning to the city at the city gate, and after feeling sore in his chest, he cheered up again, thinking that he would go to the other hall by informing Gu Ao of returning to the city, and see if he could take a look at Tian Xiaoniu glance.

Outside the other building guarded by the guards, Gu Qian announced his name, but after waiting for a while, Gu Qian heard someone say: "Miss Tian, ​​invite General Gu to enter."

Gu Qian walked in, opened the curtain, and Tian Xiaoniu was sitting there - I saw the candlelight shining brightly, she was wearing an ivory white skirt, wrapping her figure in a more girlish manner, that fat There was a layer of rouge on her face, her pink lips were pouting, and she was staring out the window in a daze.

Gu Qian had never seen Tian Xiaoniu like this before, he couldn't help but stare insanely, he recovered his senses and asked: "Where are your mother and your brother?"

Tian Xiaoniu didn't look at Gu Qian, she still looked out of the window and said: "My brother took my mother to the county mansion."

Gu Qian casually pulled a chair and sat opposite: "What are you going to do? Wait for your brother to come back?"

Tian Xiaoniu then turned her face around, frowning and glaring at Gu Qian fiercely.

Gu Qian was bewildered by the stares, and thought: I knew she was cute since I was a child, and that chubby appearance was my favorite, but I didn't know that she still had such a womanly attitude, why did she still have such a smile on the corners of her eyes? A trace of resentment?

But then Gu Qian thought again - by the way, she came to see Gu Ao, not me.

That mood is probably also for Gu Ao, not for me.

Mixed with anger and reluctance, Gu Qian deliberately raised his legs high: "Hey, my surname is Gu, and I'm also your brother. Come here and beat my brother's legs."

Tian Xiaoniu bit her lip: "...You have a rotten mouth with no good words, just let you in and talk nonsense, you go out."

Gu Qian said: "What are you going out for? I just like staying inside."

Looking at Gu Qian, Tian Xiaoniu suddenly burst into tears, she stretched out her hand and hit her: "You still bully me, you still bully me, now I'm going to get married, and you still bully me..."

Gu Qian was beaten by Tian Xiaoniu, his bones were softened, and he asked, "Have you painted your body with incense?"

Tian Xiaoniu cried: "...my mother painted it for me. Don't smell it, get out!"

"Oh, it's not good to cry like a cat." As he spoke, Gu Qian wiped Tian Xiaoniu's tears with his dirty hands.

Tian Xiaoniu slapped Gu Qian's hand open: "Don't touch me!" As she spoke, something beside Tian Xiaoniu's seat fell to the ground. Gu Qian saw it at a glance—it was a dragon pattern embroidered soles.Looking at the sole of the shoe, Gu Qian felt a surge of fire rushing to his head, spat on the ground, and said, "Is the sole made for him? How did we play when we were young? Now we can't even touch it." Are you? Are you just thinking about your own brother? Count me as blind and come to see you in vain!"

Speaking of Gu Qian turned around and left, Tian Xiaoniu burst into tears, suddenly something hit him on the back of the head, Gu Qian looked back and saw that what hit him was also the sole of a pair of shoes.The fine satin with blue pattern is very finely embroidered.

Gu Qian picked up the sole of the shoe and asked in a low voice, "...is it for me?"

Tian Xiaoniu was still sobbing: "It was originally for you... woo woo woo... woo woo... My mother saw me embroidering this and thought I was for Brother Gu, so she told Aunt Gu that I I want to give Brother Gu shoe soles, but this pair is for you... I had to embroider another pair... Wuwuwu! You go, you go! I don’t want to see you again! Wuwuwu! You will only bully Me, until now, until now, you still bully me..."

Gu Qian felt an indescribable feeling spread all over his body, he felt sorry for Tian Xiaoniu, and also thought Tian Xiaoniu was so cute when she cried, then he approached Tian Xiaoniu stupidly, and then He hugged her into his arms and kissed her forehead delicately: "It's my fault, it's my fault, I miss you every day, I heard that you are coming, I wish I could fly down from the city wall to see you .”

Tian Xiaoniu trembled all over her body, cried louder, and struggled: "Go...you go...I don't want you...Wow..."

It is said that Mrs. Xin was still waiting in the Yuyang County Mansion at this time, she was sitting anxiously in the hall and asked Tian Bai to wait at the door.Tian Bai saw far away, in the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw Gu Ao approaching the county mansion with a group of people, when he was in front of the gate, he got off his horse, first handed the whip to the stable boy, and then Walking to the other horse, he took the hand of the man on the horse, and the man on the horse supported Gu Ao's hand, and jumped off the horse.

Both of them were wrapped in cloaks, their figures couldn't be seen clearly, they just looked at each other for a moment, then Gu Ao leaned over and kissed that person's side face.

Just as Tian Bo was about to call out to Gu Ao, he couldn't help opening his mouth, but he didn't say "King of Han" after all.
