After receiving the Linyuan Wooden Bird, Cao Chunhua did not dare to delay. She handed over the matters at hand and quickly set off for the Liangjiang Station.

As soon as he approached the station, Cao Chunhua felt a murderous aura coming from the damp and cold air, with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke. He straightened his back involuntarily, stopped humming songs, and stopped winking at people.

, he just acted like a human being. There were strict sentries here, and all the officers and soldiers on duty did not even whisper to each other. There was no sound everywhere, except for the loud shouts of killing from a place not far away from routine military training.

Cao Chunhua rubbed her eyes, and for a moment she thought she had seen another Black Iron Camp.

As soon as he approached the station, he was stopped by guards on duty. Cao Chunhua did not dare to joke under Gu Yun's military authority, and hurriedly took out the pass order issued by the military aircraft department. The average number of guards in that row was only ten.

At the age of eight or nine, after checking that the order was correct, she was neither flattering nor rude, and she stepped forward to lead him to the commander's tent. Cao Chunhua looked back and saw that the guard team just blinked and left a vacant seat for one person.

After filling it up, there is no gap at all.

The guard who led the way was a little shy at first, but later he heard that Cao Chunhua and Gu Yun had dealt with the Northern Barbarians, and then he started to talk a little bit: "Westerners can't get any advantage from the commander, and they can't win in a frontal battlefield.

In the past few days, I have been circling several ports in Liangjiang, constantly harassing me. I heard the centurion say that he might want to compete with us for wealth. My lord, don’t they all say that my country is rich in land and resources? Why are foreigners so rich?

money?"

"Don't call me your lord, I'm also an errand boy," Cao Chunhua waved her hand and added, "I don't understand these things, but I heard Du Gong say a few words. You see, all their warships are specially designed to go out.

Designed for open sea and naval battles, weren't Jiangnan Port and Dagu Port opened by one cannon? Our army is like this, not to mention those small countries on the sea. They flattened a place and completely destroyed it.

'Eat' them, plunder local supplies, open factories that cannot be opened in the country, force captives to work for them, and search for their blood - over time, you will naturally become rich."

The guard was silent for a moment and led Cao Chunhua all the way to Gu Yun's tent. The guard at the door went in to report. The young guard took advantage of this moment and said to Cao Chunhua: "Sir, I have heard the veteran talk about the past two

The Jiangshui Army garrison said that when they were under General Zhao, they had a lot of pay but little, and it was easier to train every day than the garrison in other places. When they were not on duty, they could stroll among the apricot blossoms on both sides of the strait, and they felt like they were alive.

If the time is not right, if it were the Taiping Period, I might be able to become a 'jun lord'."

Cao Chunhua turned back to look at him, and the little guard smiled a little embarrassedly: "After hearing what you said today, I feel that I am short-sighted. People who can hold a sword are luckier than pigs and dogs who are being driven.

"

Just then, the soldiers from the commander's tent came out and said: "Mr. Cao, the commander-in-chief invites you to come in."

Cao Chunhua came back to her senses and walked into the handsome tent. At a glance, she saw that Gu Yun was wearing a particularly sexy colored glass mirror on the bridge of his nose. The carved and hollow patterns behind the lens were overwhelming and lingered from the bridge of his nose to his temples, almost covering his eyes.

Half of his face was covered, and it didn't look like a glass mirror, but more like a mask.

Cao Chunhua was stunned, and her first reaction was "What's wrong with the handsome man's eyes?"

But the handsome man was talking about business in the tent, and Cao Chunhua didn't dare to come forward to disturb him for a while.

Shen Yi and Yao Zhen were both there, and Yao Zhen was reading a letter from a Westerner: "The foreigners said that they came to inquire with great sincerity out of the heart of friendly relations and harmony, whether the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River could be designated as communication areas and allow the garrison to have autonomy. , protect the interests of foreign merchants, and this place can become a link for maritime trade between the two sides in the future... Oh, they also said that they love this land deeply and do not want this great fertile land to be ravaged by war again."

Shen Yi: "Yesterday there were three counties, why did you add one more today?"

Yao Zhen glanced at him helplessly: "Maybe it's because of 'deep love'?"

"Fuck you." Gu Yun wore a gentle and coquettish glass mirror on his face, but his words were not kind, "Why do you love blindly? Is it his turn to love?"

Shen Yi: "..."

I simply couldn't answer the phone.

Cao Chunhua couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed out loud.

Shen Yi hurriedly waved to him and said, "Xiao Cao is here! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come and tell me sir, when will our 'Iron Changchong' be built?"

"Oh, Mr. Shen, you screamed so hard... it's so fast," Cao Chunhua replied briskly, "What we don't lack most is manpower for work. The northern sections have been basically completed, and the southern section is even better. , there is no need to stop work when winter comes. Once the several parts are connected, the steam train will be able to run from Gyeonggi to the riverside. I heard Du Gong said that if everything goes well, it will be completed before the end of the year at the earliest - by the way, Marshal Why are you wearing glass glasses?"

"Doesn't it look good?" Gu Yun smiled at him, and the corners of his peach blossom-like eyes were about to fly, and he said shamelessly, "I dropped one two days ago, this time I found someone to change the frame, and specially invited a famous craftsman from Yangzhou Prefecture to personally It was so carved that I really couldn’t bear to hide its beauty, so I had to wear it every day for everyone to see.”

Shen Yi felt a stomach ache and said, "Oh, my commander, you'd better hide it well. The eyes of us mortals are really not worthy of such beauty."

Gu Yun ignored him, turned his face to let Cao Chunhua take a clear look in all directions, and said casually: "If it doesn't work, I will go into battle in person to play a honey trap. I'm afraid a million-strong army won't be able to deal with it, but 30,000 to 20,000 will be no problem. Right, Xiao Cao?"

Cao Chunhua's face turned red.

Shen Yi and Yao Zhen each turned their faces to one side, unable to look directly at each other.

"You came just in time," Gu Yun jumped up, put his arms around the blushing Cao Chunhua's shoulders, and pushed him to the sand table, "I happen to have something you need to do, and I want to ask you to run an errand and help me. Do me a favor."

Whether Gu Dashuai's ingenious "beauty trap" works for Westerners is another matter, but it works very well for Cao Chunhua. His face suddenly turned red again, and he was covered in hot sweat on the back of his neck. He felt that Gu Yun No matter what you say to him, he can agree to it "very well".

When Cao Chunhua came out of the commander's tent in a daze, she suddenly became excited - wait a minute, didn't King Yan send himself to take care of the commander?

How come he had just settled down and was fooled by the commander into heading to the southwestern border with just a few words?

Just now, Gu Yun specifically told him that this matter was secret. He would die in his stomach when he walked out of the commander's tent. He didn't even need to inform the Military Aircraft Department...

How will he explain this when he goes back?

Shen Yi personally arranged for the frustrated Cao Chunhua, and then turned back to find Gu Yun. Yao Zhen had already gone back, and the lights in the handsome tent were very dim. Gu Yun put his two long legs on a bench next to him and hugged him with both hands. I don't know what he is thinking about in his chest - since he started to lose his hearing, he has lost a lot of the trouble of looking around and hearing in all directions, and it is easy to focus on his own thoughts.

The cool breeze brought by Shen Yi when he opened the door startled him, and then Gu Yun raised his head and glanced at him: "Have the arrangements been made?"

Shen Yi nodded and asked, "Do you really want to use Xiao Cao, or are you afraid that he will tip off His Highness King Yan?"

"Am I such a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private?" Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, but before Shen Yi could feel guilty and apologize, he said again, "Both."

Shen Yi: "..."

I have never seen anyone who is so divided between public and private matters.

"When we start a war, things will inevitably change in the DPRK. He shouldn't have to worry too much about his situation. Now this situation is unavoidable. I'd better not let him be distracted by my little mistake here. In addition, Xiao Cao's matter is also You really need to find someone who is resourceful and trustworthy," Gu Yun said, "Didn't the old man opposite think he was awesome at fighting all the way along the sea? I'll let him see the difference between a general and a handsome man."

Shen Yi's whole body was divided into two by his words: the left half, as an old member of Xuantieying, wished he could follow his coach to death, and the right half was so disgusted by Gu Yun's sincere words that he had goosebumps - again For once, I was speechless and could only plead: "Zixi, even if you are going to be blind, can you replace it with a normal glass mirror?"

Gu Yun put on his armor and prepared to go out to patrol the camp - the coach personally patrolled the camp every day, which was also a feature of Liangjiang Camp, even if he was blind.

"I don't," he replied seriously, "I want to imitate King Lanling."

Shen Yi thought that this bastard might not have brought him here to share his worries, but just for fun!

After Cao Chunhua arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, she only had time to write a letter to Chang Geng, saying that Gu Shuai was busy with military affairs and bullying Mr. Shen every day, and there was nothing wrong with it. After that, there was no news from her, and she did not know that she was sent out to work by Gu Yun. Or simply "luckily miss Shu". When Chang Geng thought of this man's nymphomaniac disease, it was impossible not to feel sour at all. However, he felt relieved at the same time - no news is good news, which can keep Cao Chunhua busy all day long. If you are a nymphomaniac, Gu Yun is probably as comfortable as the monk said.

At the same time, Chen Qingxu came to the capital around the Double Ninth Festival.

Chang Geng worked continuously in the military aircraft department for more than a month, and it was rare for him to take half a day off to go back and receive her.

When he heard from Gu Yun for the first time that he had found a rubbing plate of the "Goddess's Secret Art" in Yinghuo, Calais, Chang Geng felt really excited and anxious for a long time. He felt like an old goblin who had been hiding in the world. It felt like when he heard that he could become a mortal, but after returning to Beijing, he was preparing plans like a storm and walking on a tightrope to deal with various political opponents. He really couldn't care about anything else, until he met Chen After a while, I picked up my old thoughts.

Chen Qingxu never showed off. When she saw Chang Geng, she didn't say hello. She just said: "It can be cured."

Just these two words were enough to pin Chang Geng to the spot for a long time. It was not until the breath he had held in his chest was exhausted that he slowly spit it out and calmly said: "Stubborn diseases that have been deep-rooted not long after they were born from the mother's womb can also be cured." ?"

Chen Qingxu nodded: "Okay."

Chang Geng's hand hidden in the wide sleeve of his court uniform twitched violently, but his voice was still calm and compelling: "People say that the evil god merged two people's flesh and blood into one, so I was born with two people, how come... Chen Can girls be separated too?"

Chen Qingxu gave a rare smile: "If it takes longer, Your Highness may have to suffer a lot."

Chang Geng's heart was in his throat: "That Zi Xi..."

Chen Qingxu: "There are relevant records in the goddess's secret technique, but the system of medicine is different from ours. I still have a lot of things to verify here, and I have to wait until I can sort out the clues."

Chang Geng took a deep breath, his heart was beating so fast that it almost broke his chest. He forgot for a moment what night it was, so he turned around and wanted to walk out. He wished that Gu Yun would know it immediately, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.

, he slapped himself on the forehead and thought to himself: "I'm confused. I can't let him know that swords on the battlefield have no eyes. He felt relieved. What if something happens?"

But there was no place to share, so His Highness Prince Yan secretly did something that made people blush. He settled Miss Chen, walked back to the Hou Mansion at night, stayed in Gu Yun's room, wrote a letter, and then did not send it.

He took it out, dried it and pressed it under Gu Yun's pillow.

This was still not enough, so he dug out all the letters written by Gu Yun that he had secretly collected. He lay on the bed and went through all the words of that person in his mind, amusing himself by piecing together a poem.

Feng Gu Yun's "reply letter" made the one-man show interesting.

Over the next few days, Chang Geng felt much more pleased with Fang Qin when he saw him during the day.

Unfortunately, Fang Qin's life was not very easy.

These days, the pile of papers on Li Feng's desk to impeach King Yan is two feet thick. If you look through it carefully, you will feel that King Yan is easily offended. Even if he coughs while walking on the road, someone will try to deceive him by referring to his coughing posture.

However, in sharp contrast, a group of upstarts from the Military Aircraft Department and below were not sure whether they were dragged down by affairs or simply dormant. Instead of their previous tit-for-tat confrontation, they began to unilaterally make concessions.

Li Feng's attitude is that he has no attitude, especially when he comes across some people who rely on their elders to sell them, try to promote the late Emperor, or even mention Emperor Wu.

Regarding this situation, the one who is most worried is not the military aircraft department who is walking on thin ice, but Fang Qin.

Fang Qin was actually extremely opposed to this kind of swarming behavior: "The Emperor has a clear mind. Everyone, if you are aggressive at this time, aren't you afraid of losing your Sacred Heart?"

At that time, someone replied: "Master Fang keeps talking about the length of the Holy Heart, and his vision is limited. Thinking back then, the late emperor was just the son of an inconspicuous county prince from a branch of the Li family clan. Why did he enter the imperial palace smoothly? He supported it back then.

During the reign of the late emperor, my ancestors overcame all opinions and took the lead. How much credit did they have? The Dan Shu and Iron Coupons are still kept in my house. Why, now that their descendants have been in power for generations, they are about to give up their bows and hide them? "

Another person said: "If we are really forced into a corner and we simply ask for the late emperor's spiritual throne, is it possible that the emperor would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and ignore the legislation of his ancestors?"

Fang Qin took a deep breath and shouted: "Gentlemen, please be careful what you say!"

Everyone gave him face and remained silent for a while, but their expressions were not very convinced.

Regardless of the family head's official position, the family history of Daliang's ministers can obscure their family trees. Many of their ancestors have in-laws and strong alliances. Generations of ancestors are inseparable from the royal power disputes. The family can prosper to this day, at least for every generation.

All the teams were on the right side, and over time, I had the illusion that the emperor was supported by my family.

Normally, they think that the Fang family has a good reputation and is willing to listen to him, but when things get really bad, even though the Fang family is vaguely the head of the aristocratic family, it is difficult to really and effectively suppress anyone - everyone is a relative, and no one is nobler than the other.

, why should the Fang family make the final decision on matters involving their own lives and vital interests?

Fang Qin had no choice but to respond with emotion and reason: "The emperor is very happy with his achievements, and he will not allow others to challenge the power of Heaven. This large-scale invasion by the Westerners will inevitably remind him of the siege of the capital. If he had any previous
