I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 99
Xiwandan’s head was the second time Gu Yuanbai saw a dead man’s head at close range.
Coincidentally, these two heads were sent to him by Xue Yuan, firstly to claim credit, and secondly to let Gu Yuanbai vent his anger. The head claiming credit was the leader of Wang Tushan, and this one, amazingly, was one of the leaders of the eight Khitan tribes.
When the rebels in Jing Hunan were forced back to the capital and beheaded in public, because Xu Xiongyuan had been in Gu Yuanbai’s hands from beginning to end and was a complete defeat, Gu Yuanbai had no interest in watching his beheading. Therefore, after all his calculations, he had only seen these two dead heads.
But Gu Yuanbai was very calm.
He was calm from the bottom of his heart. Gu Yuanbai never thought that he could be so calm, even so calm as to dismiss his words in life with the head of a dead man.
After sending someone to take away Xiwandan’s head, Gu Yuanbai asked, “Is there anything else?”
The reporter said: “The station also sent something over, it was sent by General Xue.”
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully presented it to Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai looked at the handkerchief for a while, then reached out to pick it up and slowly unfolded it.
But there was nothing on the handkerchief, it was completely empty. Gu Yuanbai frowned, thinking that some secret recipe was used, “Bring some water.”
When the palace attendant brought the water, he walked to the front of the palace and raised the handkerchief to the scorching sun in the sky. Only then did he reluctantly discover that there was a small dark color in the center of the handkerchief.
It looks like the traces of water mixed with wind and sand after it has dried. If you are not careful, you will not be able to see it at all.
“What could this be?” Gu Yuanbai pondered.
The person who notified him then remembered, “Your Majesty, there is a note in the handkerchief.”
He searched for it and handed the note to the Holy Master. Gu Yuanbai took it and took a look and saw it written above:
——The first snowflake in Northern Xinjiang is yours.
*
The wind and snow in northern Xinjiang are like goose feathers flying.
When Xue Yuan was writing the letter, someone looked over and laughed loudly: “Xue Jiuyao, it should be the wind and snow in northern Xinjiang that are flying like duck feathers.”
As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.
The wind outside the tent was blowing loudly, making the tent rustle. It had to be pressed down by rocks to prevent the wind and snow from blowing in.
Faced with these people’s jokes, Xue Yuan dipped his face in ink and continued writing.
The others laughed at him and continued chatting. After a while, someone asked: “Who are these letters Xue Jiuyao writes all day long to?”
Everyone said they didn’t know. When someone wanted to ask Xue Yuan, Xue Yuan had already opened the curtain and ran outside alone to a deserted place to continue writing the letter.
The wind and snow outside hit her face directly, and she relied on the cotton clothes on her body to protect her from the heat. Xue Yuan was strong and strong, and his whole body was steaming even more after wearing winter clothes. The heavy snow had already melted away from him before it fell on him.
Xue Yuan put the ink on a stone, put the paper on his hand and continued writing, the speed became faster. There is no way, it’s too cold outside, if you don’t write quickly, either the ink will freeze or the brush will freeze.
These are all letters written to Gu Yuanbai.
Xue Yuan also wrote before that he sent many letters to Gu Yuanbai before the day he rushed to the capital, but Gu Yuanbai was a heartless person and he just couldn’t do it. After returning from the capital, Xue Yuan wrote more frequently even though he knew that the other party would not reply.
For some reason, Xue Yuan missed Gu Yuanbai even more after returning from the capital.
It’s strange that the previous thoughts can be suppressed and become weeds to grow wildly. But now the thoughts seem to have found a trick. They know where Xue Yuan’s itch is and where Xue Yuan can’t cover it, so they grow and grow again.
More violent than before, more irrepressible. Even now when he was writing a letter in the wind and snow, Xue Yuan only felt hot in his heart, even a little anxious. My liver was so hot that I felt uncomfortable, and my mouth was blistered.
The wind and snow also hit this letter paper, but when it was soaked, the darkness took on an unusual meaning. Xue Yuan put the letter away, held it in his arms and looked up at the sky.
The heat from his breath flew upwards. He thought for a while about Gu Yuanbai, his fingertips that were as white as snow and as cold as snow, and his neck, face and lips.
I regretted it several times when I thought about it. Why didn’t I think of kissing him more at that time? Why didn’t you think of sucking a few marks on his neck?
Bring something close to your body and think about it, even if you just pack another bag of bath water and take a sip of the water that slipped off Gu Yuanbai’s body…it would be better than just thinking about it now.
The white jade cup he brought had long since lost the smell of Gu Yuanbai, and only the dragon pattern was left on the handkerchief. Xue Yuan sighed deeply and returned to the camp.
General Xue, who was out on an inspection tour, also came back and looked at him with great confusion, “Why are you so angry in this winter.”
“I don’t know,” Xue Yuan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, touched his lips, and thought again, thinking that Gu Yuanbai could be so angry in the middle of winter. It’s a pity that this pain was caused by Gu Yuanbai’s bite. That’ll be fine, he sighed, “General Xue, hurry in, we’re all waiting for you.”
The father and son walked into the military camp. Placed among the generals was a sand table with different flags planted on it. It was the territory of the other nomadic peoples in northern Xinjiang.
“Let’s discuss the battles after the new year,” Old General Xue said, “Hahahaha, after we finish discussing the final battles, we can then prepare for the New Year! This year must be a good year, and at this last moment, we can still You guys need to keep holding on.”
All the generals were in high spirits and said in unison: “Yes!” and began to discuss in full swing.

As winter approaches, the daylight hours become shorter and shorter. This is not only the case in Northern Xinjiang, but also in the capital, and the winter in the capital is only a finger’s better than that in Northern Xinjiang.
In mid-December, the Holy Spirit came out to inspect the lives of the people in the capital. Chu Wei was also by his side, and the group took a closer look. On the way back, Gu Yuanbai had a smile on his face.
On their way to the countryside together, one of the people who was watching Chu Wei secretly returned to Xue Mansion and told the second son Xue about the incident.
“Your Majesty and Chu Wei are traveling together?” Mr. Xue sat up suddenly, holding on to the bed, “Then why don’t you find a chance to deal with Chu Wei as soon as possible! Don’t you know Xue Yuan’s bad temper? If the things he told him are not done well, , are you going to die or am I going to die?”
The boy said: “It’s you who died.”
Second Young Master Xue was so frightened that he trembled, “You know why you don’t do it quickly?”
“Second Young Master, it’s not that we didn’t take action,” the young man said, “it’s that we discovered that there is another group of people targeting Chu Wei.”
Second Young Master Xue was curious: “Who?”
The boy shook his head: “I don’t know. But they have been following Chu Wei since early today, and now Chu Wei is with the Holy Emperor. If they take action, I am afraid that these people will lose their lives.”
“Okay, okay!” Second Young Master Xue said happily, “Then don’t do anything and let the group of people following Chu Wei do it for us.”
The boy said respectfully, “Yes.”
These people who followed Chu Wei were the people sent by the Prince of Xixia.
The prince of Xixia wanted to teach Chu Wei a lesson secretly. He felt that since he liked Chu Wei, he would not go too far. He would send someone to kidnap Chu Wei and let him humiliate him until he was done with it. , this person can be let go. Even if Emperor Daheng wants to investigate, he will have to pay attention to the evidence, right?
The people sent by the Prince of Xixia didn’t know Gu Yuanbai’s identity. While they were wary of the guards behind Gu Yuanbai and Chu Wei, they passed the news to each other: “There are so many people, it’s hard to attack now.”
“But it’s not easy for them to attack in the capital city,” the leader said, sweating profusely. “If there are patrols in the city, there will be opportunities in the countryside.”
“Look at the young man walking at the front. You can tell at a glance that he is not in good health and has no strength to tie a chicken.” The subordinate said, “There is a hillside just ahead. We are ambushing there and a group of people are going to capture Chu Wei. , a group of people went to kidnap this young master, and bringing this man with him was enough to threaten the guards, so that they would not dare to come forward.”
The leader nodded and wiped the sweat from his head: “That’s it.”

Gu Yuanbai and Chu Wei walked slowly, talking and laughing. Just when they reached a hillside, someone suddenly rushed out shouting loudly, holding a big knife in his hand, and they were extremely ferocious. In the blink of an eye, a dozen people rushed towards the two of them from both sides.
The guards behind him immediately drew their swords and stepped forward. Chu Wei’s expression changed and he immediately protected the Holy Lord, “Holy Lord, leave quickly!”
While he was talking, these Ci Ke who had been ambushing here had already rushed in front of him. Chu Wei did not dodge or dodge. Just when he was preparing to die righteously, he only heard a few piercing sounds in his ears. The first person in front of him The running assassin screamed, covered his chest and fell to his knees.
Chu Wei was startled, then turned around and saw that the Holy Master, with an extremely calm face, was holding an extremely small crossbow and shooting short arrows at the Ci Ke in front of him. He was really calm. He held the crossbow and raised his arm. After the assassin was hit by the arrow, he smoothly turned to the next person.
But in the blink of an eye, the guards rushed forward and started fighting with these people. There were only a few sounds of clashes of weapons, and these assassins were suppressed by the guards and knelt down.
Gu Yuanbai put away the crossbow specially made for him by the Engineering Department. When he saw Chu Wei staring at him without blinking, a gentle smile appeared on his cold face: “Chu Qing, are you scared?”
Chu Wei suddenly felt his heart beating wildly in his chest. He squeezed his hands tightly, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his face. His forehead was as smooth as jade, and there was even a thin layer of sweat in an instant.
Gu Yuanbai patted his arm comfortingly, then stepped forward to the assassin who rushed over first, and smiled coldly, “It’s been half a year since I got this crossbow, and this is the first time I’m using it today. Just use it.” It’s on you.”
As soon as the assassin, who was bowing in pain and was pale and covered in blood, heard his words, his eyes suddenly widened and his face was grim with veins.
emperor? !
