I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 85

The emperor is in my arms.

The emperor, enter, I, embrace.

Gu Yuanbai sat in front of Xue Yuan’s desk and was so shocked by this line of writing that he couldn’t recover for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, the paper swallow kite had been destroyed by his hands.

OK, Xue Jiuyao.

I don’t know how many things you have done.

Gu Yuanbai thought that after beating Xue Yuan fifty times, Xue Yuan was really behaved and behaved that day. He was still well-behaved and sensible. It turned out that he could even hold a writing instrument when flying a kite. If you fly a kite with this line of writing to him, you are so bold that you let the guards come forward and fly the kite for him.

You’re so brave, why don’t you fly your shit kite on a rainy day?

The paper surface of the kite creaked when Gu Yuanbai pinched it. Gu Yuanbai suppressed the secret fire in his heart. He tore off the paper surface with Xue Yuan’s handwriting on the kite and put it in his sleeve. Sooner or later, he would let Xue Yuan do it for him. I paid the price for writing this sentence. During the process, Gu Yuanbai kept thinking in his heart, you are quite brave to think about it.

When the emperor falls into your arms, he sneers, he remembers it.

After crushing the remains of the kite, Gu Yuanbai had a cold face and was about to leave Xue Yuan’s room, but as soon as he stood up from the chair, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of something under the bed with his peripheral vision.

Gu Yuanbai walked closer and took a look. Placed under the bed was an exquisite wooden box that could be held in both hands. It looked very heavy and precious. Being placed here, Gu Yuanbai seemed to be smiling but not smiling. not simple.

“Tian Fusheng.”

Tian Fusheng came in with the young eunuch outside. Gu Yuanbai pointed to the bottom of the bed and said, “Take out the things.”

The little eunuch got under the bed, took out the things, and placed them respectfully on the table. Gu Yuanbai took a closer look and saw that the box must have been covered with a thin layer of dust because Xue Yuan had been gone for more than a month. After receiving the order, the little eunuch raised his sleeves and wiped the dust off the box. Tian Fusheng stood aside, squinting curiously about the contents of the box.

With a creak, the wooden box was opened.

Gu Yuanbai looked at the things inside and asked for a long time, “Jade?”

The long and slender jade, from thin to thick, with one end rounded and the other flat, looks good in quality, but its shape is extremely weird.

Gu Yuanbai raised his hand to take a piece to take a closer look, but was suddenly stopped by Tian Fusheng. Tian Fusheng was sweating profusely and his voice was trembling, “Your Majesty, this jade is covered with dust and is not clean.”

Gu Yuanbai glanced at him and said calmly: “What is this thing?”

Tian Fusheng Nuonuo didn’t dare to speak. He opened his mouth many times, but no words came out.

Mr. Xue himself prepared the jade stone in the room, and it was hidden so deeply that it was obvious what it was for. Look, the Holy One doesn’t like Master Xue yet, but Master Xue is already ready to accept Long’s favor. This tough-minded man usually hides in the house and secretly uses jade moves. If the Holy One finds out about it, will Mr. Xue still have the face to see the Holy One?

But Tian Fusheng had to answer the emperor’s question. Just as cold sweat was dripping down his temples, a report from the servant of the Xue Mansion suddenly sounded outside: “Your Majesty, my wife has sent some tea. Do you want to use it now?”

Gu Yuanbai glanced outside for a moment. Tian Fusheng quickly went out to get the tea and brought it back: “Your Majesty, Mr. Xue’s house is small. Do you want to go out for tea?”

Gu Yuanbai hadn’t forgotten about the box of jade. He stared at Tian Fusheng for a while and snorted coldly: “I’ll ask you later.” He asked someone to take the box of jade away with him. .

It was something that made Tian Fusheng so unspeakable, and regarding Xue Yuan, Gu Yuanbai intuitively felt that this thing was not something that could be treated openly and honestly. He was going to take this thing back to the palace and have a closer look.

Mo Yue returned to a familiar place, and the two wolves trained by Xue Yuan were extremely excited. After Gu Yuanbai left Xue Yuan’s room, before he had time to taste Xue Mansion’s refreshments, he was attracted by these two wolves. The wolf bit his shirt and led Gu Yuanbai all the way to the wolf pen.

The wolf pen was deep in Xue Mansion. Two wolves howled. A moment later, the wolves in the wolf pen also began to howl. The sound resounded through the sky and even began to bang against the locked wooden door. The wooden door was banged. , the expressions of the guards around Gu Yuanbai suddenly changed, and they were about to retreat while protecting Gu Yuanbai.

However, the further away Gu Yuanbai was, the more manic the wolves in the wolf pen became, their howling sounds filled with blood, and each sound became louder and louder than the last.

Gu Yuanbai searched around on his body, but couldn’t find anything that could make them so excited. The servants of the Xue Mansion hurried over after hearing the sound. When they saw the two adult wolves tugging at Gu Yuanbai’s sleeves, their eyes widened and they trembled in fear, “Holy, Your Majesty!”

The guard comforted him: “These are the two wolves Mr. Xue sent to the Holy Master. Don’t worry about them. Come and see what’s going on with these wolves in the wolf pen?”

The servant came to his senses and hurried forward to check on the wolves. Gu Yuanbai still remembered what Xue Yuan said. He said it so beautifully that all the wolves in the mansion would listen to the Holy Master’s words after he had taught him a lesson. But now, when I look at them, they are all unruly and unruly, which is not what Xue Yuan said.

Gu Yuanbai secretly made another note to Xue Yuan in his heart.

After the servant came forward, the captain of the guard whispered: “Your Majesty, I will protect you and leave first.”

Gu Yuanbai’s hands were behind his back, and the sleeves that fell by his wrists were held in the mouths of two wolves, using their sharp teeth to prevent Gu Yuanbai from leaving. He asked the captain of the guard to look at the two wolves at his feet, “With these two clinging things blocking me, how can I leave?”

They insisted on letting Gu Yuanbai get closer and take a look, so Gu Yuanbai stepped forward. The closer he got, the more excited the sounds of the wolves became. When he walked in front of him, the wolves were already lying on the fence, their sharp claws scratching the fence. There was a white wolf wrapped around the neck of each wolf. Porcelain bottle.

Gu Yuanbai stared at the white porcelain vase, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled one off the neck of the nearest wolf, and steadily pulled out the lid of the white porcelain vase amidst the exclamations of everyone on the side. There was a rolled up picture inside. note.

The mouth of the bottle is very thin, making it difficult to hold the note. Gu Yuanbai threw the porcelain vase on the spot. The palace attendant picked up the note among the fragments and presented it respectfully. The Holy Emperor took it and unfolded the note leisurely.

“The Holy One came to my house to see the wolves. Is it because the teeth of the two wolves are broken, or is it because the Holy One misses me?”

Gu Yuanbai quickly closed the note, clenched his finger bones, narrowed his eyes, and frowned dangerously.

Xue Jiuyao.

Xue Jiuyao led his soldiers on a journey day and night, and he was reluctant to throw away the bag of bath water he carried with him even if it went rancid.

Eat and sleep in the open air, travel through mountains and rivers. The only rest time is before going to bed. Sometimes all the officers gather together and talk about their wives and daughters at home.

While talking, someone also asked Xue Yuan: “General, your wife and daughter at home must be very reluctant to leave you when you travel to northern Xinjiang this time.”

Xue Yuan sat cross-legged next to the fire. He was tall and the firelight reflected on him brightly and dimly.

After hearing this, the Lord’s expression, which had been as cold as stone for many days, finally showed signs of softening, “I have no wife, and I have no children.”

People around were surprised, “You don’t have a wife?”

“If I remember correctly, the general is already twenty-four, right?”

Xue Yuan was a little more patient now, “The Holy One doesn’t have a wife either.”

“Your Majesty…” Someone laughed twice, “Your Majesty is still young.”

“Your Majesty is young, and I am not old either. As a minister, I naturally have to think about Your Majesty.”

“If the Holy One marries a wife, will the general follow suit?” The people around him laughed, “General Xue is going to be worried.”

The corners of Xue Yuan’s mouth hardened, and there was a chill in his mouth.

Others did not see his expression and continued to laugh and talk. Someone asked Xue Yuan: “Doesn’t the general have a sweetheart?”

Xue Yuan thought to himself, why not.

He has also kissed and touched his sweetheart, are you envious? But envy is useless, and my sweetheart doesn’t recognize it.

The more Xue Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he was so damn aggrieved. Just when he was aggrieved, his ears twitched and he looked up suddenly. He saw scattered sentries rushing towards this place with torches flying. When they saw Xue Yuan, they let out a loud roar. Shout: “General! Locusts are attacking!”

The officers immediately put aside their laughter, stood up, and went to arrange their troops with skill. Xue Yuan took the sword and led the horse to follow, “The deputy general sent people to look after the food and grass. This place is getting closer and closer to the northern border. The locusts are gaining momentum. We must not let the food be lost at all!”

The deputy general clasped his fists in a deep voice: “Yes!”

Xue Yuan got on the horse, took a step with Li Feng’s hoof, and ran out like a strong wind. He suppressed the love between his son and his daughter, and buried the face of the saint in his mind. His face was unshaven, and the hand holding the reins had many rough callus marks.

At the last moment when he ran into the darkness, he suddenly thought at an inappropriate time, whether the methods he had racked his brains to make Gu Yuanbai remember him were effective and would they be useful?

*

Very useful.

Gu Yuanbai was so angry with him that he couldn’t sleep most of the night.

I had forgotten to explore the box of unknown jade items I brought back from Xue Yuan. In front of me were twenty-three small white porcelain vases. These porcelain bottles have various patterns printed on them and are made of ordinary materials. Some of them even have slight cracks.

Gu Yuanbai looked at these porcelain bottles and knew that Xue Yuan could not spit out ivory from his mouth, but he still smashed the bottles one by one and took out rolls of thin paper from them.

The sentences on these small pieces of paper are vague, and they repeatedly test the line. The twenty-three notes, plus the note Gu Yuanbai smashed out in Xue’s house during the day, almost formed an alternative love letter.

It’s just that the person who wrote the “love letter” was not a gentle scholar after all. Halfway through the words, the sense of aggression in it became stronger, and the superficial surrender became more hypocritical. In the end, he still remembered the sweet and bitter, and talked about the past with Gu Yuanbai. One night in the cave, I talked about that kiss.

“The roots of the holy dragon are as warm as jade,” the words on it are very public. “I like it very much. It should be very delicious when you look at it.”

The next few sentences made Gu Yuanbai feel something.

I have been pure and stoic for several years, and the last time I was ridiculous was May or June ago. Gu Yuanbai read the notes without changing his expression, and put his fingers under the quilt, but when he moved, he stopped feeling bored.

Not pleasant at all, not comfortable at all.

I didn’t think it was anything in the past, but now I find it extremely boring.

Gu Yuanbai swept the note next to his pillow, pulled the quilt over his head.

After a while, he sighed deeply.
