When Gu Yun walked out of the hall, his eyes were a little blurred. He stood still and took a few breaths. For the first time in his life, he felt that a light armor of only a few dozen kilograms of pounds of body was so overwhelming.

The potential of a person in critical situations is probably endless. Gu Yun was busy in the Golden Palace with an unbearable headache that had needles and beds. He had been busy all day and night in the Golden Palace, but he didn't feel anything. However, as soon as he walked out, he realized that he was exhausted and his clothes were almost stuck to his body. When the wind with the morning dew blew, he shivered and shivered.

There was a trace of sun in the sky just now, and it was covered by dark clouds in a blink of an eye, and the morning light was dim.

Chang Geng was waiting for him at the door, facing the layers of golden palaces like the immortal palace. The clothes of King Yanbei's court were flying. He was staring at the direction of Qi Yuanlou from afar, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing the footsteps, Chang Geng turned around, glanced at Gu Yun's face, frowned and said, "The carriage is waiting outside, you can take a break."

Gu Yun was exhausted and responded randomly.

Chang Geng: "What did that guy keep you saying?"

Gu Yun said mutely: "Gosh...nonsense."

Chang Geng saw that he had no strength to speak more, so he quietly stopped talking and returned to the Hou Mansion.

In the morning, countless arrows were fired, and all six places had to move. They all knew that this might be the only time left for rest.

As soon as Gu Yun entered the house, his knees became weak and he staggered and threw himself on the couch.

He had not removed his armor and smashed it down with such a "bang", half of his body was numb, and the entire roof was circling in front of him. Gu Yun had the illusion that he could never get up again.

Chang Geng reached out and grabbed his pulse. The cold hands were so hot that they were so cold that they were so hot that they had just been taken out of the brazier: "Entertainment Father, do you know when did you start to have a fever?"

Gu Yun murmured, sour water was coming out of the cracks of his bones, and his eyelids were so heavy that they couldn't lift them up. He asked with difficulty: "Is my little brother still alive?"

Chang Geng: “…Who?”

Huo Dan, who was following behind, agreed and took out the lively little gray mouse from his arms: "Master, you are living well."

"Then I'm fine," Gu Yun said sickly, holding himself up, letting a circle of people take off his armor, loosening his body a little faster, he rubbed off the sweaty hair on his face, "Either catch a cold or get angry, take the medicine and sweat a little, and then you'll get sweat."

Huo Dan stood aside without any idea, wondering why his marquis had lived and died with a gray-haired mouse, but Chang Geng understood, his eyes flashed slightly, and he pressed Gu Yun on the couch to prevent him from moving: "Leave it all to me."

He signaled Huo Dan to retreat first and take off Gu Yun's clothes that could be wrung out of water by himself. Gu Yun's body was soft and he became dizzy when he opened his eyes. He had to close his eyes and let him fiddle with it. His breath was a little quick, and he looked a little weak inexplicably.

As soon as the outer and middle garments were removed, Chang Geng's hands couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Yun's thin inner clothes were soaked in sweat, almost a layer of garlic, which could not be covered by anything, and his chest and waist were exposed to cover up. For some reason, Chang Geng felt that this was more deadly than the last time Gu Yun jumped into the hot spring directly in front of him.

Chang Geng's heartbeat for a moment, and he didn't dare to take it off any longer. He had to pull a quilt over first, wrap it around Gu Yun, turn it out a clean clothes and put it next to him, and whispered with a little begging: "Entertainment Father, can you change the rest yourself?"

Gu Yun was not very sick after he became an adult. He came here occasionally, which seemed particularly serious. He burned his seven orifices and kept tinnitus. He waved his hand weakly at Chang Geng and complained: "When is it? Is there really yours..."

Chang Geng stood aside with his eyes, nose and mouth, and Gu Yun was so embarrassed that he became uncomfortable. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Chang Geng said awkwardly: "I'll go and decoct the medicine for you."

He turned around and went out, finally letting both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Yun lay down for a while, his thoughts were quickly stirred into a pot of porridge by the high fever, and everything was pouring in. After a while, he thought: "What should I do, Chang Geng?"

After a while, he thought: "The Xuantie Camp retreated to Jiayuguan, and no one of the damaged brothers collected the bodies, even if they were wrapped up with Zhang Mage."

As he thought about it, he felt a hole in his heart, and all the wind and rain were creeping in. On the way, he felt sad and felt like he was suppressed by Jiang Chong's words. At this time, he smelled and became more severe, causing him to feel so much pain.

Half of the 50,000 iron armor was lost overnight...

Finally, Gu Yun's consciousness gradually became blurred. Rather than falling asleep, he actually fainted. His consciousness was drowsy and he woke up from time to time. The present and the past were all connected into a mess, falling down along the thread, and the long-standing memories flashed one by one.

He remembered the years when he was a child, neither deaf nor blind. He was like a flea that was beaten with incorruptible eyes. When the old marquis saw him, he would blow his beard and stare, which made him angry.

But once, the old marquis rarely took him to see the sunset outside the frontier with patience.

The old marquis is tall and majestic. He treats young sons as big as Tuanzi equally. He will never reach out to hug him and barely hold the lead in his hand. He is already the old marquis who is not much kindness. This makes the adults bend over and the children have to stretch their arms high, and no one feels comfortable. However, Gu Yun did not complain. It was the first time he saw the bloody sunset in the desert of the border town. The figure of the Xuanying flew by from time to time, like a golden crow dragging a white rainbow. The yellow sand was vast and the plain forest was deserted. The young Gu Yun was almost shocked.

They kept watching the magnificent red sun sinking into the ground. Gu Yun heard the old marquis feel the deputy general next to him and said, "If a general dies in the mountains and rivers, it will be a blessing in life."

He didn't understand at that time, but now, twenty years have passed.

"Master," Gu Yun thought in a daze, "I probably...will really die in this mountain and river."

...It seems like a horse in a gap, a fire in a stone, and a body in a dream.

At this time, someone pushed the door open, picked up Gu Yun, and fed him a bowl of water. The man was so gentle, as if he was accustomed to taking care of people, and he didn't spill it out at all.

Then he whispered in Gu Yun's ear: "Zi Xi, drink the medicine before going to bed."

Gu Yun didn't open his eyes and replied vaguely: "Have a half hour...and half an hour later, if you can't wake me up, throw me a bowl of cold water."

Chang Geng sighed, fed him medicine silently, and then stood aside.

Gu Yun seemed to feel uncomfortable, tossing and turning, and the quilt was almost kicked away by him. Chang Geng covered him with a few times, and finally wrapped him in his arms.

It's strange that Gu Yun had probably never been particularly close to anyone since he was a child. He felt that he was leaning someone behind him, so he became honest and carefully adjusted the most comfortable position for him. Miss Chen's calmness filled his breath, and one hand brushed across his forehead just right, and his fingers pressed his forehead, shoulders and neck repeatedly, regardless of lightness or weight.

Gu Yun has never slept in such a comfortable "bed" in his life, and I don't know what to do today.

The quiet time is as fast and impermanent as flowing water, and half an hour passes in the blink of an eye.

Changgeng glanced at the clock next to him and was really reluctant to let go of Gu Yun, nor could he wake him up.

But there is no way, war is imminent. Looking around the world, where can there be a place for him to sleep?

Chang Geng had no choice but to make up his mind, tap Gu Yun's acupoint with a blink of an eye, awakening him on time, and got up and went to the kitchen.

Gu Yun's heart was always tense. After a bowl of medicine and sweating, he suppressed the disease back. He took a short rest for half an hour. When he woke up, the fever had almost subsided. He stayed in bed for a while, put on his clothes, and felt that he had come back to life.

He felt better, and his heart became much more relaxed.

Gu Yun thought to himself: "Aren't you just a bunch of foreigners? You are so powerful, so why are you using conspiracies?"

No matter how bad he is, he is still alive. As long as the Gu family still has people, the Xuantie Camp will not be wiped out.

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized that he was so hungry that he was close to his heart. He pressed his stomach in pain and thought to himself: "If anyone warms me up two sesame cakes at this time, I will marry anyone home."

Just as he was thinking, Changgeng came in with a bowl of hot noodle soup, and the heat and fragrance came to his face without hesitation. Gu Yun's internal organs were so hungry that he turned around in his stomach.

He repented to himself depressedly: "Except for this, this cannot be considered..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought came out, there was a sudden thunder outside.

Gu Yun: "..."

Chang Geng reached out and touched his forehead: "I'll leave, my adoptive father comes over to eat first."

Gu Yun took the chopsticks silently and heard the word "adopted father". He suddenly felt a little strange. Unfortunately, this thought passed by in one flash and he couldn't catch it.

Gu Yun: "What did you do?"

"I only had time to get a handful of noodles in a hurry." Chang Geng said without changing his expression, "Just make do."

Gu Yun was immediately not very good, and he didn't know what the dignified "King Yanbei" wanted to make him so "virtuous".

Chang Geng seemed to see what he was thinking and said calmly: "If the country is destroyed, I will push Li Feng. I will open a noodle restaurant in the northwest, which is enough to be alive."

Gu Yun was choked by a mouthful of noodle soup and coughed to death.

Chang Geng smiled and said, "I was talking and having fun."

Gu Yun picked up a cup of herbal tea and took a sip: "Good boy, I learned to use my entertainment. It's really unreasonable."

Chang Geng said seriously: "When you came back in Yanhui, you suddenly wanted to take me back to the capital. I wanted to come here, thinking that you would either go to the deep mountains and forests to be a hunter, or find a small area in the border to open a half-dead shop, just enough to make a living. But later I felt that I was unlikely to have the ability to slip away from your nose, so I became honest."

Gu Yun pulled the steak aside and took out the ham underneath and ate it. Before he could chew it, Chang Geng suddenly leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a long sigh: "Entertainment Father, you don't know. If you don't appear in front of me all day, I won't dare to close my eyes all day, finally..."

Gu Yun said with a faint expression: "I am still a thousand miles away from Ping An - tell me."

Chang Geng understood it and knew that he was referring to something that he had not said in front of Li Feng.

Gu Yun: "You must have withdrawn the Xuantioxeng Camp, otherwise He Ronghui and the others might have beaten the last person."

"I imitate your words." Chang Geng said, "withdraw the Xuantie Camp back to Jiayuguan and let General Cai Yan go north to aid Xinjiang. To count the time, General He's anxious Zi Liujin must have already poured out his hands - this matter is not necessary for Li Feng to know, anyway, he has already planned to abolish the drum beat order."

Gu Yun blinked: "You can imitate..."

"It's all a little bitch." Chang Geng shook his head, "I had already sent a letter to my master on Jiangnan, but I didn't expect to catch up. In addition, I suspect there were nails left by the Northern Barbarians twenty years ago in the palace, so I have asked someone to check it out. There is no news from General Chen, so I'm afraid there will be some good news."

"No news is the best news," Gu Yun was silent for a moment and responded, "That old mom is very lucky and will not die."

Chang Geng: "The adoptive father, the northwest is coming in a fierce manner, but now it seems that there will be something wrong in the short term. In your opinion, can the capital be defended after the disaster in the East China Sea?"

Gu Yun looked up at him, his eyes were like a pair of flints, cold and indescribable hardness, and it seemed that a light touch could ignite sparks.

There were only him and Chang Geng in the room, with a bowl of noodles separated by a bowl of noodles. Gu Yun said nothing and said in a real way: "It depends on whether we can hold on until reinforcements come. The attack of thousands of miles, and the foreigners also want to fight and decide quickly, otherwise they would not have started such a big scene. The longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it would be to us, but..."

But Daliang's national strength cannot support the protracted war.

Li Feng was furious to want the Ziliu Gold Mine in Loulan because the most extensive land in the world is very rare and the supply is completely in short supply. Nearly 40% of the Ziliu Gold Mine in Daliang comes from the 18 tribes to pay tribute, and a large part of it seems to be bought scattered from outside. The silver flowing in from sea transportation and trade flows out is like this.

At present, the Eighteen Tribes are rebelling and the four realms are besieged. The only thing that can be mobilized is Ziliujin's inventory. In the long run, it will inevitably be unable to make ends meet.

This is just purple gold, not to mention that the treasury, which is thinner than yellow flowers, does not have so much silver?

Gu Yun: "As you said, if it doesn't work in the end, you will shrink the entire territory's forces and slowly plan it. Although it is the most rational way, it may not be possible. It's fine if Xuantie Camp retreats to Jiayuguan - although it is usually lively outside Xiguan, most of the exchanges are from merchants living in residence. The ancient Silk Road has just been opened for a few years, which is not enough for them to settle down. The ancient Silk Road is tight around the ancient Silk Road, and once the pass is at the pass, business is not done. Now it is estimated that it has almost gone, but it is not possible. There are still thousands of villages and hundreds of millions of people in the pass, and He Ronghui cannot retreat any more."

Xuantieying is the belief and even pillar of Daliang. Once this pillar collapses, there is no need to fight. It is faster to change the name and surname directly in the country.

Chang Geng was silent for a moment: "I'm talking about a last resort."

"There is no last resort." Gu Yun shook his head, "You have a ravine in your heart and know how to manipulate the country, but you have never fought a war. In addition to the right time and place, there are two remaining wars. One is the equipment of the lighter steel armor, and the other is the courage to be fearless in death. The equipment has come to this point, and there is no way... But I believe that even if the foreigners are strong, they are not necessarily much stronger than us, not to mention the country people who can use artillery as sticks for a cannon. The subordinate soldiers are not pawns, they are all humans, all of them are bloody and afraid of death. Do you remember what I told you when I suppressed bandits in the southwest last time?"

Chang Geng: "Remember, 'When you come to the front, whoever doesn't want to die will die first'."

Gu Yun said "um" and his family and country were full of holes and did not delay his meal. After a few words, he could eat a large bowl of noodles. Finally, he pinched his nose and mixed the annoying green leafy vegetables in the soup and drank them directly. He didn't chew them. After that, he put the bowl on the table: "Is there any?"
To be continued...
