Gu Jiao came out of the maple yard and caught a glimpse of a small figure snooping behind the big tree.

Gu Jiao walked over: "clearance?"

Little headroom was stunned, grabbed his head and came out: "ah, he was found."

Gu Jiao touched his little head: "are you waiting for me?"

"Um... Um!" Xiaojingkong hesitated and nodded seriously.

He raised his young face and blinked his big eyes at Gu Jiao. The thick and curled eyelashes made him look like a small mascara.

"Jiao Jiao, are you going to war again?"

He asked painfully, "why do you always go to war?"

Gu Jiao didn't know how to answer this question.

She squatted down on one knee in front of him and suddenly found that the small clearance was always higher. She could easily see his head in this position before, but now she is really level with him.

Can watch you grow up.

splendid.

Gu Jiao took a leaf that fell on his shoulder and said softly, "everyone has what they should do. It is their duty to save the dead and heal the wounded, defend the country and secure the people."

After thinking about it, xiaojingkong tightened his fist and said, "then my duty must be to protect Jiaojiao! I want to learn martial arts! I want to grow up! I'll go to war later! Jiao Jiao doesn't have to go! "

Gu Jiao touched his little head and said with a smile, "fighting is not fun."

Xiaojingkong frowned and said, "but it's hard to fight. I don't want to be delicate and hard!"

Gu Jiao said, "I'm not hard."

Xiaojingkong couldn't bear to let her go. She was so wronged that she was almost crying.

Gu Jiao held him for a long time before coaxing him back to bed.

When the little guy fell asleep, Gu Jiao took a carriage to the National Teacher hall.

In the purple bamboo forest, the master is sitting in the hall playing chess.

When the crown prince and Han fell, the false monarch came to light, and the National Teacher hall naturally recovered its innocence and lifted the blockade.

Mr. Meng has left. The master is playing chess with himself.

The disciple on duty went to work. Ye Qing sat aside and waited respectfully for the master's dispatch.

"No more." The national master suddenly put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box.

Ye Qing hurriedly moved over, sorted and installed the black and white pieces, and then installed the chessboard.

At this time, Yu He's reporting from outside the yard: "master, Lord Xiao is coming."

"Let him in." The master said.

Gu Jiao went into the bamboo house.

It was late at the moment, and a feather fan glass lamp was hung under the corridor. The transparency of this kind of glass was almost the same as that of previous generations. At a glance, it was far superior to the craft of the state of Liang.

"When did you hang it up? It's very nice. " Gu Jiao said.

"On the moon worship Festival." Ye Qing invited Gu Jiao into the house, "usually hang it until the end of the month."

On the moon worship Festival, also known as the Mid Autumn Festival, Dayan's custom is to enjoy the moon and hang lanterns.

Gu Jiao sat down opposite the National Master: "it's hard for the national master to go down to earth, but he still has such a folk festival."

The master gave her a silent glance.

"Play chess with me." He decided not to quarrel with her.

"Line ba."

For the sake of misunderstanding you for so long, I'll accompany you to the next set.

Ye Qing brought out the checkerboard that was not easy to tidy up and rearranged it. She went to make a pot of fruit tea.

Fruit tea has its own fruity fragrance, but it will not be too sweet and greasy. It is very suitable for Gu Jiao's appetite.

"You are black." The master said.

"OK." Gu Jiao didn't refuse. She took the black first. She dropped a son on the small eye in the upper right corner of the chessboard.

The master looked at the chess piece and looked in a trance.

"Why don't you go down?" Gu Jiao blinked and asked, "you can't, can't you?"

"Who says this seat won't?" The master coldly picked up a white coin and landed on the chessboard.

"I'm here to get the small medicine box." Gu Jiao said, "by the way, I'd like to say goodbye to you."

These days, Gu Changqing has been hiding in the guardianship room to secretly practice pirated death secrets. Gu Jiao keeps her eyes closed and keeps the small medicine box in the secret room.

Now that Gu Changqing has left, it's time for her to take a small medicine box.

The national master snorted, "it's rare for you to say goodbye to me."

Gu Jiao dropped a sunspot: "why not clarify?"

The national master paused with his hand pinching the chess piece.

Ye Qing was confused, but after a short thought, the people of National Normal University understood what Gu Jiao meant.

"No need." He said.

The Xuanyuan family's tragedy has happened. It's not a word that I leaked that can exchange so many lives for the Xuanyuan family.

Moreover, it was indeed his oversight that he let a fine work of the state of Jin into the National Teacher hall and became his most trusted disciple.

The master didn't ask her how she knew the truth. After he left a son, he said lightly: "Tianshan pass is not far from Yanmen pass. The armies of Jin and Liang may have a chance to meet. Be careful of Gongsun Yu of Jin and Chu Feipeng of Liang. Both of them are highly meritorious generals. "

In the dream, Xuanyuan's seven sons, Taoist Qingfeng and mu Qingchen were all broken in gongsunyu's hands!

As for Chu Feipeng, he was also a hard stubble, that is, he led the army to encircle and suppress Heifeng riding trapped in Liangshan. Heifeng riding fought until the last person, and finally all died under the arrow rain of the Chu family army.

Even if the national teacher didn't say it, she would pay special attention to them.

The National Master said, proving that the national master was sincerely considering for her.

"I'll pay attention." Gu Jiao said.

The national master is used to her choking. Leng Buding suddenly behaves so well that people don't know what to do.

"You lost." Gu Jiao looked at the chessboard and said.

Ye Qing was slightly stunned and stretched her neck to look at their chessboard.

The national teacher really lost.

Ye Qing was even more surprised.

Master's chess skill is very exquisite. Old Meng has no rival. He lost to Xiao LIULANG.

From the situation of fighting on the chessboard, there is no situation of master letting Zi.

So Xiao LIULANG's chess skills are really exquisite.

Ye Qing looked at his master again. The bottom of his eyes was not surprised. It seemed to be expected.

Master... Have you ever played chess with Xiao LIULANG? Or did master know Xiao LIULANG's chess skills from Mr. Meng?

Ye Qing couldn't understand the relationship between Shifu and Xiao LIULANG more and more.

Sometimes he had the illusion that they knew each other very early.

Gu Jiao stood up and said, "well, I'm finished playing chess. I should go. The safety of Shengdu - there's the master Hall of the state of labor."

The master calmly said, "OK."

This is the third purpose of her coming to the National Teacher hall to ask the national teacher to promise to keep the overall situation of Shengdu.

Everyone left and Sheng Du became an empty shell.

The master and Xuanyuan Li are good friends, and the master hall was created by the shadow master of Xuanyuan family. No one can tell how loyal the master is to the monarch.

So Gu Jiao needs a personal guarantee from him.

The national master looked at Gu Jiao for a moment: "I will hold Shengdu and wait for you to return."

Gu Jiao naturally raised her fingers and stepped into the boundless night.

The autumn wind blows into the purple bamboo forest, and the glazed lanterns under the corridor rotate and shake gently.

In the study, the portrait of the general dressed in Xuanjia and holding a red tassel gun was blown open.

But this time, the person on the portrait has a face.

……

After coming out of the National Teacher hall, Gu Jiao went back to the government house. After she packed up her things, she had to go to the military camp. She will leave with the army tomorrow morning.

An Guogong is waiting for her at the gate of Fengyuan. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun are also peeking at her in the house.

Anguo Gong came to say goodbye to Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao was going to the battlefield, and he was going to leave. On the surface, he went to peace talks, but in fact, he covered his aunt and grandpa, and met Xiao Heng's father by the way.

He always has to see what his future in laws are like.

——He heard from Gu Chengfeng that Xiao Heng married her as another person, so strictly speaking, this marriage can't be done.

The two families have to discuss their marriage more carefully.

They didn't say much about the injury and separation. Gu Jiao explained some precautions for his rehabilitation on the road. He also told Gu Jiao to take care when he went here.

Gu Jiao said, "I will. I'm still waiting to see you stand up."

A smile flashed across the eyes of the angoo government. He wrote on the handrail: "sure."

I will stand up and send you to marry.

So you must come back safely.

……

Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun don't want to go.

The two little men said that they would stay in Shengdu and return to the state of Zhao together when Gu Jiao won the war.

Gu Jiao disagreed: "I'm gone, your brother-in-law is gone, and your aunt and grandpa are gone. Who will take care of you? Don't mention nanshiniang and Master Lu. It's not easy for them to come. We can't bother them any more. "

Gu Yan said, "we can take care of ourselves!"

Gu Xiaoshun didn't listen to his sister for the first time: "that's right! We are adults! "

Gu Jiao pinched their faces: "sir? The hair didn't grow up, hum. "

Gu Yan: "I'm half a day younger than you!"

Gu Jiao has made up her mind. The three little men must follow her aunt and grandpa back to Zhao.

Gu Yan said with a depressed face, "if you don't let us stay, you can at least take this."

Then he took out a mechanism box and put it on the table.

"And mine." Gu Xiaoshun took out his own.

These are the life-saving concealed weapons made by Master Lu for the two of them. Last time, they secretly put them by Gu Jiao's pillow and were put back by Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao squinted at the two: "you two have learned to negotiate. Who taught you the art of words?"

If they let her take this in the first place, she would definitely disagree.

But they first made a more excessive request. By contrast, this small request was very insignificant.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and snorted, "no one taught him. He became a talent by himself. He has a unique talent."

Gu Jiao took a swipe at the corners of her mouth. It seems that you two have been eavesdropping on our bad deeds these days. You've learned all these tricks!

Gu Jiao finally took it.

Because only in this way can they feel at ease.

After packing up, Gu Jiao went to her aunt's house for the last time.

My aunt fell asleep.

Gu Jiao didn't wake her up. She went over and gently put a can of pickled preserves on her aunt's table.

Then she came to the bedside and whispered in her sleeping aunt's ear, "you can only eat three a day. You can't eat too much. When you finish all, I'll come back."

August night, a little cool.

Gu Jiao pulled up the quilt for her aunt and crept out of the house.

The armor made a friction sound. She quickly pressed it down, looked back at her aunt, breathed a sigh, turned and took it to the door.

In the dark, Empress Dowager Zhuang opened her eyes slowly.

Her eyes flushed.

Shed a tear and closed his eyes as if nothing had happened.

……

At noon, the black wind camp began to pull out.

Fifty thousand cavalry are about to embark on the journey to the West.

The imperial edict for the expedition was issued three days ago, but Gu Jiao sent an order to prepare for the departure ten days in advance. Therefore, everything was already ready. Among all the troops, Heifeng camp was the most unhurried and orderly.

Gu Jiao came to his camp. Master Hu waited early. Seeing her coming, master Hu walked over with small steps.

The weather turned cold, and the Pu fan in his hand was still not thrown away.

He bowed his hand and said, "Sir, just now the six command envoys have come to inform us. The three camps have assembled and are ready to listen to your orders."

Gu Jiao said, "take me to have a look."

Master Hu hurriedly said, "yes."

All the training grounds are occupied by horses and cavalry. There are 10000 troops in the pioneer camp, 25000 in the charge camp and 15000 in the reserve camp.

The reserve battalion mainly consists of baggage, logistics, medical treatment and standby Heifeng cavalry.

This time, due to the disparity in military strength, even some Heifeng riders under the age of three have been brought, and the youngest has just turned two and a half years old.

When the horse trainer saw Gu Jiao coming, his face was black.

Obviously, he rejects this arrangement.

Master Hu coughed and explained, "there's no way. There are too many supplies. In order to ensure the combat power of adult horses to the greatest extent, these ponies have to pull the food and grass."

The two-and-a-half-year-old horse can work, but it is not ordinary work, but a thousand miles of attack, full of unknown dangers.

They may go and never come back.

The horse babies were very excited and jumped behind the horse king. The young ones didn't know what was waiting for them.

Gu Jiao took a deep look at the ponies jumping around and said, "horses under the age of three will stay."

Ma Wang: "...!"

The horse trainer looked at Gu Jiao in amazement.

Gu Jiao didn't seem to notice his eyes, patted Ma Wang's neck, and turned to other battalions for inspection.

She could feel the strange eyes cast at her. Even if she took the position of commander-in-chief, she was not really accepted by them.

They never listened to her orders because they respected her, but it was their bounden duty to obey orders.

Gu Jiao's inspection tour is over.

After autumn, the night is not so bad, and the sky is still dark.

Gu Jiao and the black wind king stood in the cool wind blowing wind. She patted the armor on the black wind king's horse and asked softly, "are you ready, boss?"

The 16-year-old black wind king's aura was fully open and the intention of war was everywhere.

The horses on the training ground felt the fighting spirit of the black wind king, as if they were summoned with infinite fighting spirit in an instant, and their eyes and breathing were different.

The cavalry looked at their mounts in amazement.

Such a situation... Has never happened.

However, this is not the most shocking.

Xiao tongshuai, the new commander in front, took something from the saddle of the black wind king and stretched out his hand to Mr. Hu.

"Bring me the flagpole."

Gu Jiao said.

"Ah, ah! Yes! "

Master Hu hurriedly held the prepared empty flagpole with both hands. "Here, sir, you mentioned it to me last time. I've already prepared it."

In fact, he doesn't understand what adults want flagpoles to do?

Isn't the flag of Dayan state carried by the cavalry of pioneer camp long ago?

The next second, Gu Jiao snapped out the cloth in her hand!

No, that's not cloth!

It's a flag!

Black edge and white background, in the middle is an eagle flying for nine days!

"Flying eagle... Is the flying eagle flag!"

In the cavalry camp, someone couldn't help crying out.

The flying eagle was originally the emblem of the black wind camp, and gradually evolved into the emblem of the whole Xuanyuan family, and the flying eagle flag also became the handsome flag of the Xuanyuan family.

Since Xuanyuan's house was destroyed, all the flying eagle flags have been destroyed.

Gu Jiao put the flag on the flagpole, held the flagpole with both hands, rolled over and mounted the horse.

She didn't say a superfluous word, but her eyes resolutely carried the handsome flag of Xuanyuan's family.

The eyes of Xuanyuan's old family were wet.

A 60 year old veteran sat on his horse and suddenly burst into tears.

"Smell the rush, I'm leaving. What are you looking at!"

Outside the reserve camp, a soldier reminded people to look at someone in a daze.

Wen renchong didn't answer.

He stared at the boy on the horse.

The young man's shoulder is still very young, but he resolutely carried the handsome flag of Xuanyuan's family.

He shouldered the burden that he shouldn't bear at this age. He wants to defend the rivers and mountains guarded by the blood of Xuanyuan family.

And what are you doing!

Wen renchong, what are you doing!

"Smell the rush, stand up and don't lose to me. I'm only sixteen. Don't lose face if you lose to me!"

"Hearing people rush, I'm not worthy of xuanyuansheng. You'd better not betray my trust!"

"Do you have eyes when I smell people attacking you! The arrows are on your forehead! Don't you know how to hide! "

"Smell people rush... Kill... Don't... Die here..."

Hearing the memory of people rushing, I couldn't tell xuanyuansheng from the boy on horseback for a moment.

The handsome flag of Xuanyuan's family fluttered in the wind under the sky, making a hunting concussion sound.

Gu Jiao said positively, "all the black wind riders listen to the order. We will go out with the tainv to attack the thieves! I don't know the risk. Life and death are uncertain. Those who don't want to go can stay! I will never punish you! "

No one left!

Gu Jiao took back her eyes and raised the handsome flag in her hand. Her eyes were full of murderous spirit: "let's go!"
