Tigers
Gu Yun slowly took out a glass mirror from his arms, put it on the bridge of his nose, walked over to Chang Geng, opened the window and squinted to look at the platform.
The glazed mirror was inlaid with a thin platinum chain, slanted into his ear, covering one of his peach blossom eyes, but the bridge of his nose became straighter and straighter. His whole temperament suddenly became colder, and there was a faint aura of a beast dressed in clothes.
.
Chang Geng looked at him blankly for a while and asked: "Father, what are you wearing?"
Gu Yun tilted his head and teased him: "It's a foreigner's little thing, doesn't it look good? It's popular over there to wear this. When I go out for a walk, I can trick you into a foreign stepmother and go back, okay?"
Chang Geng: "..."
A young soldier from the Black Eagle Division deliberately eased the solemn atmosphere just now and said cleverly: "Commander, you are not my biological father either!"
Gu Yun laughed along heartlessly.
The young soldier shook his head and said: "The world has changed in the past few years, and people's hearts are no longer ancient. In the past, women valued our virtues, abilities and temperaments. We didn't worry about it. But now it's better. They only care about whether a man is handsome or not.
Commander, our brothers are not single because they are ugly, but because they were born at the wrong time."
The specialty of Xuantie camp is bachelors. When they heard this, everyone started to boo.
Gu Yun laughed and said: "Go away, don't drag me into this. Who's ugly? I am a member of the Xuan Tie Tribunal. My reputation has traveled across the ocean."
A group of rough guys in the army were shocked by their commander's shamelessness and had no choice but to laugh in response. Shen Yi said coolly: "Commander, you are as beautiful as a flower, how come you can't get a wife?"
This sentence touched Gu Yun's sadness. Gu Dashuai could only hold his chest and said: "I'm waiting for a price. Good things come to the end. What do you know?"
Speaking of this, I really can't blame Gu Yun.
At that time, the late emperor was very conflicted with him, loving him and being wary of him. It was okay when he was a child, but as he grew up, the marriage of Marquis Anding became a fishbone in the late emperor's throat.
If he chooses someone with a low status, he is afraid that people will say that he has wronged Zhongliang, and the late emperor will not be able to answer to anyone. But if he chooses someone from a high-ranking and powerful family, the late emperor will be worried in his heart.
The two sides were in a dilemma. I think the late emperor must have wished that Gu Yun was a little eunuch.
Marquis Anding's marriage was delayed for a long time, and finally the late emperor settled on the daughter of the great scholar Guo.
The Guo family has been a scholarly family for generations and has a noble family background. It is said that Miss Guo is as beautiful as an orchid and is famous throughout the imperial capital for her talents. Together with the then Crown Princess and the current Queen, they are also called the twin concubines of the capital. This does not involve anything, nor is it an insult to Gu Yun.
.
But it's really strange. Ever since the engagement, this famous flower has been like being beaten by frost, getting worse day by day - before Gu Yun returned to Beijing after the war, Miss Guo had already passed away.
Speaking of which, there are many people who have lost their wives, which is nothing unusual, let alone just an unmarried wife. But when this matter was brought to the attention of Marquis Anding, it was hard not to think of his widowed and lonely grandfather.
Parents who died young.
So just like that, the reputation of Anding Hou Ke's wife spread like wildfire.
Being able to marry the Marquis of An Ding means you have all the honors and dignity, and you don't have to serve your parents-in-law, but you must have a life to enjoy this great blessing.
Later, Gu Yun traveled to the Western Region and Northern Territory, and did not return to the capital for four or five years, so there was no chance for him to do anything. Now the late emperor has left. Although the current emperor is a few years older than Gu Yun, he grew up calling him uncle.
Yes, there is a generation difference. Even if the monarch and his subjects are different, it is somewhat inconvenient to take care of his marriage.
Gu Yun himself didn't have the energy to pay attention, so he put it off until now.
Shen Yi refused to let him go: "Awaiting price? Commander, who do you want to sell yourself to?"
Gu Yun raised his head and saw Chang Geng staring at him closely through the glass mirror, his face involuntarily showing some tension, thinking that the young man was worried that he would not love him if he got married.
Gu Yun raised his hand and patted the back of Chang Geng's head soothingly: "I like people who are smart, gentle and good-natured. Don't worry, I will definitely not get a Hedong lion to come back and mess with you in the future."
These words seemed to open a hole in Chang Geng's chest, and the delusion that seemed to have been surrendered by him came out to cause trouble again, causing a feeling of dejected ecstasy that could not be resolved.
He had no choice but to force himself to give a stiff smile.
It's like forcing myself to close my eyes and sleep every night.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion on the platform, and a few Westerners took the monkeys and parrots that were jumping around on the platform, and carried a large iron cage covered with velvet onto the stage. The pale-faced Western clown twisted and set up a large fire ring, and after posing for a long time to whet people's appetites, he took off the flannel on the cage.
I saw a big tiger in the cage.
Ge Pangxiao leaned his whole body out of the window and kept asking: "Is it real or fake? Is that a real tiger?"
The clown stepped forward and opened the iron cage, holding the collar and pulling out the big tiger.
I wonder if there were too many people watching, but the tiger seemed a little restless and kept making struggling movements.
However, Gu Yun frowned and said coldly: "These foreigners really know the rules. They got such a beast--Xiao Jia for the Chinese New Year."
Xuan Ying, the young man who talked the most just now, looked serious: "Yes."
Gu Yun said: "Find someone to keep an eye on us. There are many people down there, so don't cause any more trouble."
Xiao Jia took the order and left. He jumped directly from the Red-headed Kite terrace. At a height of dozens of feet, his black shadow flashed, leaving a thin wisp of white steam in the air, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Amid the bustle of people, the restless tiger began to reluctantly jump into the fire ring, looking as ferocious as if it had been forced into prostitution.
The cheers from the observation deck of Yunmeng Grand View became louder and louder. Some people got excited and started throwing money from top to bottom.
The vaudeville was so happy that it didn't hurt to throw some copper coins on the platform. Many people did this, but that day, a two hundred and fifty came from nowhere, and he actually threw gold leaves down.
The crowd who was watching the excitement in the audience roared with "coaxing" and the shouts of "gold gold gold" kept coming.
Before he could figure it out, the tiger that was crawling into the ring of fire got completely irritated for some reason. It roared, turned around and bit the clown who was caught off guard.
The clown was bitten off an arm and half of his shoulder on the spot, and let out a shrill scream.
The tiger roared, broke free from its control, and rushed toward the sea of people below Qiyuan Tower.
The people in the inner circle were so frightened by the beast that they wanted to rush out like chickens. The people outside didn't know what was going on, and somehow they heard that gold leaves were being snatched inside, so they were still squeezing in.
When the two sides collide, no one can move.
Some cried "gold", some cried "tiger", some fell down and couldn't get up at all, it was a complete mess.
The Jinwu Guards who were on duty at night were thrown into chaos by the crowd. There were many dignitaries near the Yuan Tower. Some of them did not take the lives of ordinary people in their sights. In their haste, they only focused on escaping for their own lives. When escaping for their lives, they did not forget to show off - they wanted to run away from home. The servant pushed out a passage for himself.
Gu Yun grabbed Chang Geng's shoulder, pushed him back, reached back and took off Shen Yi's arrow basket and long bow hanging behind the door, and ordered: "Don't come out."
The Xuantieying soldiers at the table all stood up.
Shen Yi grabbed Gu Yun's elbow and blurted out: "Your eyes..."
Chang Geng raised his head sensitively and thought: "Eyes? What's wrong with the eyes?"
Gu Yun ignored it, waved away Shen Yi's hand, and kicked open the door of the elegant room on the red-headed kite without any explanation.
Several black eagles on the red-headed kite jumped down from the sky and flew low to the ground. A few small fireworks exploded into cold light. Another black-armored soldier stood at a high place, climbing up the mast of the red-headed kite, holding a copper in his hand. Roar, shouting loudly to the chaotic crowd: "Marquis Anding is here, don't act rashly!"
These words were actually more effective than the emperor's imperial edict. Many people instinctively stopped their crowded steps when they heard the words "Marquis of Anding".
The roar of a tiger came from afar, and the enraged tiger swooped out like lightning, holding a boy who looked like a boy under his claws. Gu Yun stood on the bow of the red-headed kite's koi carp boat, leaning against Ya He stood on the door frame of the room and drew his long bow sideways.
His glazed mirror was still hanging on the bridge of his nose. No one would shoot arrows with a glazed mirror. That thing would distort the vision. His thin clothes were flying in the hot wind of the fire wings. The whole person was indescribably casual and scornful, just like It's shooting with eyes closed.
But Shen Yi knew that as long as Gu Yun took off the glass mirror, he would not be able to tell the difference between humans and animals within a foot away, which was basically the same as closing his eyes.
Why does it happen to happen at this critical moment?
A thin layer of sweat broke out in Shen Yi's palms involuntarily, and his whole back became tense.
