The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

When Gu Jiao came out of Fengyuan, she caught a glimpse of a small figure poking her head behind the big tree.

Gu Jiao walked over: "Clean space?"

Xiao Jingkong was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and walked out: "Ah, I've been discovered."

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

"Hmm...um!" Xiao Jingkong hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously.

He raised his immature face, and blinked at Gu Jiao with his big eyes. His thick and curly eyelashes made him look like a little mascara.

"Jiaojiao, are you going to fight again?"

He asked distressedly, "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 headroom had grown taller. In the past, she could easily see the top of his head in this posture, but now she was really at eye level with him.

Can watch you grow up.

very nice.

Gu Jiao took a leaf that fell on his shoulder, and said softly: "Everyone has their own duty to do. Healing the wounded, saving the dying, protecting the country and the people are the responsibilities."

Xiao Qingkong seemed to understand, thought for a while, clenched his fist and said, "Then my duty must be to protect Jiaojiao! I want to learn martial arts! I want to grow up! I will go to war in the future! Jiaojiao doesn't have to go Already!"

Gu Jiao stroked his little head and said with a smile, "Wars are not fun."

Xiao Jingkong frowned and said: "But fighting is very hard, I don't want Jiaojiao to work hard!"

Gu Jiao said: "I don't work hard."

After all, Xiao Jingkong couldn't bear her, and was so wronged that he almost cried.

Gu Jiao hugged him for a long time before coaxing him back to sleep.

After the little guy fell asleep, Gu Jiao took the carriage to the National Teacher Hall.

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, Master Guoshi is sitting in the main room playing chess.

The crown prince and the Han clan fell,

The truth about the fake monarch came to light, and the National Teacher Hall naturally recovered its innocence and lifted the blockade.

Mr. Meng has already left, and Master Guoshi is playing chess with himself.

The disciple who was originally on duty went to work, Ye Qing sat aside, respectfully waiting for his master to dispatch him.

"I can't play anymore." The national teacher suddenly put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box.

Ye Qing hastily moved over and sorted the black and white chess pieces, and then put the chessboard together.

At this moment, Yu He's report came from outside the courtyard: "Master, Master Xiao is here."

"Let him come in." The National Teacher said.

Gu Jiao entered the small bamboo house.

It was getting late now, and a feather fan glass lamp was hung under the corridor. The transparency of this kind of glass was almost the same as the glass in the previous life, and it was far superior to Liang Guo's craftsmanship at first glance.

"When did you hang it up? It's so beautiful." Gu Jiao said.

"It was hung up on the moon worship day." Ye Qing invited Gu Jiao into the house, "Usually it will be hung up until the end of the month."

The Moon Worship Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is a custom in Dayan to enjoy the full moon and hang lanterns.

Gu Jiao sat down on the opposite side of the National Teacher: "The National Teacher has worked so hard, but he still celebrates this kind of folk festival."

The national teacher glanced at her speechlessly.

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

"Okay."

Since I misunderstood you for so long, I will accompany you to the next game.

Ye Qing took out the chessboard that had been tidied up with great difficulty and rearranged it, and went to make a pot of fruit tea.

The fruit tea has a fruity fragrance, but it is not too sweet, which is very suitable for Gu Jiao's appetite.

"You are black." The national teacher said.

"Okay." Gu Jiao didn't refuse, she took the black first, and she made a move on the small eye on the upper right corner of the chessboard.

Master Guoshi looked at this chess piece, and his expression was in a daze.

"Why don't you go down?" Gu Jiao asked with a blink of an eye, "You don't know, do you?"

"Who said I won't be able to?" The Master of the State Teacher coldly picked up a white piece and landed it on the chessboard.

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

During these days, Gu Changqing has been hiding in the intensive care unit and secretly practicing the pirated secrets of dead men. Gu Jiao kept her eyes closed and kept the small medicine box in the secret room.

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

Master Guoshi snorted: "It's rare that you still come to say goodbye to me."

Gu Jiao dropped a sunspot: "Why didn't you clarify?"

Master Guoshi paused for a moment when he pinched the chess piece.

Ye Qing was at a loss when he asked this question, but after thinking about it for a while, Master Guoshi understood what Gu Jiao was referring to.

"No need," he said.

The tragedy of the Xuanyuan family has already happened, so many lives in the Xuanyuan family can be exchanged for just a word of rumor that I did not leak.

What's more, it was true that he was negligent in the past, and let a master from the state of Jin infiltrate into the National Teacher Hall, and even became his most trusted disciple.

Master Guoshi didn't ask her how she knew the truth, and after dropping down a son, he said lightly: "Tianshan Pass is not far from Yanmen Pass, and the troops going to Jin and Liang may have a chance to meet them. Beware of Gongsun Yu of Jin State, and Chu Feipeng of Liang State. Both of them are great generals with great military exploits."

In the dream, the Seven Sons of Xuanyuan, Daoist Qingfeng, and Mu Qingchen were all lost in Gongsun Yu's hands!

As for Chu Feipeng, he was also a stubborn stubble, that is, he led an army to encircle and suppress the Heifengqi who was trapped in Liangshan. Heifengqi fought to the last person, and finally all died under the arrow rain of Chu's army.

Even if the national teacher doesn't say anything, she will pay special attention to them.

The national teacher said it, which proved that the national teacher was thinking about her sincerely.

"I will pay attention." Gu Jiao said.

Master Guoshi is used to seeing her always choking people to death, so suddenly she is so obedient, people don't know what to do.

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

Ye Qing was taken aback for a moment, stretched his neck to look at the two people's chessboard.

It was really the national teacher who lost.

Ye Qing was even more surprised.

Master's chess skills are superb, and Meng Lao is invincible, but he lost to Xiao Liulang.

Judging from the situation of fighting on the chessboard, there is no situation where the master gave up the son.

So Xiao Liulang's chess skills are really superb.

Ye Qing looked at his master again, there was no surprise in his master's eyes, as if it was expected.

Master... Could it be that he played chess with Xiao Liulang? Or did Master know about Xiao Liulang's chess skills from Mr. Meng?

Ye Qing couldn't understand the relationship between Master and Xiao Liulang more and more.

Sometimes, he has the illusion that they have known each other for a long time.

Gu Jiao stood up: "Okay, the chess game is over, I should go, the safety of Shengdu - there is the Laoguoshi Palace."

Master Guoshi said calmly: "Okay."

This is her third purpose for coming to the National Teacher Hall, to ask the National Teacher to agree to keep the overall situation of Shengdu.

Everyone left and Shengdu became an empty shell.

Master Guoshi and Xuanyuan Li are good friends, and the Palace of Master Guoshi was created by the shadow master of Xuanyuan family. No one can tell how loyal Master Guoshi is to the monarch in his heart.

So Gu Jiao needs a personal guarantee from him.

Master Guoshi looked at Gu Jiao without blinking: "I will guard Shengdu and wait for your return."

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

The autumn wind suddenly blows into the purple bamboo forest, and the glazed lanterns under the porch rotate and sway gently.

In the study room, the portrait of the general in black armor and holding a red-tasseled spear was blown away with a bang.

Only this time, the person in the portrait has a face.

...

After coming out of the National Teacher Hall, Gu Jiao went back to the Duke's Mansion, she had to go to the military camp after packing up, and she would set off with the army tomorrow morning.

An Guogong was waiting for her at the gate of Fengyuan, and Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were also peeking at her in the room.

An Guogong came to say goodbye to Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao was about to go to the battlefield, and he was leaving too. On the surface, he was going to negotiate peace, but in fact he was protecting his aunt and uncle, and he also met Xiao Heng's father.

He had to see what kind of people his future in-laws were.

——He had heard from Gu Chengfeng that Xiao Heng used another person's identity to marry her, so strictly speaking, this marriage was innumerable.

As for the marriage between the two, the two families have to discuss it carefully.

The two didn't say much about parting, Gu Jiao explained some precautions for his recovery on the road, and he also told Gu Jiao to take care of himself.

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

A smile flashed in the eyes of Duke Anguo's mansion, and he wrote on the armrest: "Definitely."

I will definitely stand up and send you off to get married in a graceful manner.

So you must also come back safely.

...

Neither Gu Yan nor Gu Xiaoshun wanted to leave.

The two young men expressed that they would stay in Shengdu, and return to Zhao Kingdom together after Gu Jiao finished winning the battle.

Gu Jiao disagreed: "I'm gone, your brother-in-law is gone, aunt and uncle are gone too, who will take care of you? Not to mention Mrs. Nan and Master Lu, it's not easy for them to come here. trouble them."

Gu Yan said: "We can take care of ourselves!"

It was the first time that Gu Xiaoshun didn't listen to her sister's words: "That's right! We are adults now!"

Gu Jiao pinched the faces of the two of them: "My lord? The hair is not even grown, hum."

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

Gu Jiao has made up her mind, the three little men must follow their aunt and uncle back to Zhao Kingdom.

Gu Yan said with a depressed face: "You don't want us to stay, you can at least bring this."

After that, he took out a mechanism box and put it on the table.

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

These are exactly the life-saving hidden weapons that Master Lu made for the two of them. Last time, they secretly put them next to Gu Jiao's pillow, and Gu Jiao put them back.

Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them: "You two have learned how to negotiate, who taught you how to speak?"

If they let her accept this from the beginning, she would definitely not agree.

But the two of them first made an even more excessive request. Compared with this, this small request is very insignificant.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and snorted: "No one taught me, I am self-taught, and I am very talented."

The corner of Gu Jiao's mouth twitched. It seems that you two have been eavesdropping on us doing bad things a lot these days. You have learned all of this trick!

Gu Jiao finally accepted it.

Because only in this way can they feel at ease.

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

Aunt fell asleep.

Gu Jiao didn't wake her up, she walked over and gently placed a jar of preserved candied fruit on the aunt's table.

Then she came to the bed and whispered in the ear of her sleeping aunt: "You can only eat three a day, you can't eat too much, and I will be back when you eat all of them."

The night in August is a little cool.

Gu Jiao tiptoed out of the room after pulling the quilt on her aunt.

The armor made a sound of rubbing, she hurriedly pressed it down, looked back at her aunt, breathed a sigh of relief, turned and closed the door.

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

Her eyes were flushed.

She shed a tear and closed her eyes as if nothing had happened.

...

At Yinshi, the Black Wind Battalion began to move out.

Fifty thousand cavalry are about to embark on a journey to the west.

The imperial decree for the expedition was only issued three days ago, but Gu Jiao sent an order ten days in advance to prepare to leave the camp, so everything has already been prepared. Among all the troops, the Black Wind Camp is the most calm and orderly.

When Gu Jiao came to her tent, Master Hu had been waiting for her early, and seeing her coming, Master Hu walked over with small steps.

The weather turned cold, but he still didn't throw away the cattail fan in his hand.

He bowed his hands and said: "My lord, just now the six command envoys have come to report that the three major battalions have assembled and are waiting for your orders at any time."

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

Master Hu hurriedly said: "Yes."

All the training grounds were occupied by war horses and cavalry. The vanguard battalion had 10,000 horses, the assault battalion had 25,000 horses, and the reserve battalion had 15,000 horses.

The reserve battalion is mainly for supplies, logistics, medical treatment and spare black wind cavalry.

This time due to the disparity in troop strength, even some Black Wind Riders under the age of three were brought along, and the youngest was just two and a half years old.

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

Obviously, he resented this arrangement.

Master Hu coughed lightly, and explained: "There is no way, there is too much luggage, in order to ensure the combat power of the adult horses to the greatest extent, the food and grass have to be pulled by these pony horses."

A two-and-a-half-year-old horse is ready to work, but this trip is not ordinary work, but running thousands of miles, full of unknown dangers.

They may go and never come back.

Those baby horses were very excited, and they jumped up and down behind the horse king. They were young and didn't know what was waiting for them.

Gu Jiao took a deep look at the ponies bouncing around, and said, "The horses under three years old stay here."

Ma Wang: "...!!"

The horse trainer looked at Gu Jiao in astonishment.

Gu Jiao didn't seem to notice the look in his eyes, she patted Ma Wang on the neck, turned around and went to inspect other battalions.

She could feel the strange eyes that everyone cast on her. Even if she took the position of commander, she was not really accepted by them.

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

It's time for Gu Jiao to finish her inspection.

After autumn, the nights faded less badly, and the sky was still dark.

Gu Jiao and the Black Wind King stood at the outlet of the cool wind howling, she patted the armor on the back of the Black Wind King's horse, and asked softly, "Are you ready, Boss?"

The sixteen-year-old Black Wind King's aura is in full swing, and his fighting spirit is everywhere.

The war horses on the training ground felt the fighting spirit of the Black Wind King, as if they had been summoned with infinite fighting spirit in an instant, their eyes and breathing were different.

The cavalry looked at their mounts in astonishment.

Such a situation...has never happened before.

However, this is not the most shocking.

I saw the newly appointed Commander Xiao in front of him took something from Black Wind King's saddle, and stretched out his hand to Master Hu who was beside him.

"Bring the flagpole."

Gu Jiao said.

"Eh, eh! Yes!"

Master Hu hastily brought the empty flagpole that had been prepared with both hands, "My lord, here, you mentioned it to me last time, I have already prepared it."

He actually didn't understand what the adults wanted the flagpole for?

Hadn't the flag of the Great Yan Kingdom been carried by the cavalry of the Pioneer Battalion long ago?

In the next second, Gu Jiao unfolded the cloth in her hand with a snap!

No, that's not cloth!

It's a banner!

Black border and white background, in the middle is an eagle soaring nine days!

"Flying Eagle... is the Flying Eagle Flag!"

In the cavalry camp, someone couldn't help but exclaimed.

The flying eagle was originally the emblem of the Black Wind Camp, and later gradually evolved into the emblem of the entire Xuanyuan family, and the flying eagle flag became the handsome flag of the Xuanyuan family.

Since the Xuanyuan family was destroyed, all the flying eagle flags have also been destroyed.

Gu Jiao put the flag on the flagpole, held the flagpole with both hands, and turned on the horse neatly.

She didn't say a single unnecessary word, but she carried the Xuanyuan family's handsome flag with firm eyes.

The eye sockets of the old family members of Xuanyuan's family were all moist.

A sixty-year-old veteran sitting on horseback suddenly burst into tears.

"Wen Renchong, I'm leaving, what are you looking at!"

Outside the reserve camp, a soldier reminded Wen Renchong who was staring at somewhere in a daze.

Wen Renchong didn't answer.

He stared blankly at the boy on the horseback.

The boy's shoulders were still immature, but he resolutely carried the handsome flag of the Xuanyuan family.

He has shouldered a burden that he shouldn't have to bear at this age, and he is going to defend the country guarded by Xuanyuan's family's blood.

And what are you doing!

Wen Renchong, what are you doing!

"Wen Renchong, stand up, don't lose to me, I'm only sixteen, you won't lose face if you lose to me!"

"Wen Renchong, I, Xuanyuan Cheng, are not admired by everyone, you'd better not betray my trust!"

"I heard that people are looking at you, do you have eyes? The arrows are shooting at your forehead! Don't you know how to hide!"

"Wen Renchong... kill him... don't... die here..."

Wen Renchong's memories were swept away, and for a moment he couldn't tell Xuanyuan Cheng from the boy on the horse.

The handsome flag of the Xuanyuan family fluttered in the wind under the sky, making a fluttering sound.

Gu Jiao said seriously: "All Heifeng riders obey the order, and I will go out with the empress to hunt down the thieves! The risk of going here is unknown, and life and death are uncertain. Those who don't want to go can stay! I will not punish!"

No one left!

Gu Jiao withdrew her gaze, raised the handsome flag in her hand high, her eyes were full of murderous intent: "Let's go!"
