Broken wings

After half a month, Gu Qiong defeated more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Duan Guo with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and after the class returned to the court, Yuan Zhen personally set up a banquet to entertain him, rewarded 100 acres of fertile land, and 10,000 taels of gold. Although Gu Qiong is a good man on weekdays, he still abides by his duties as a courtier in front of the emperor, and he eats a very boring meal, he doesn't like these red tapes, but the emperor rewards him, and he can only be grateful to God.

When he got out of the Chengming Palace, he pulled the material on his chest and burped: "I'm so bored with a meal." "

Bi Zhoucheng patted him funny: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, pay attention to your manners." "

Gu Qiong nodded: "The emperor rewarded me with 100 acres of fertile land, and I can't go to farm, it's good to lease it out, 10,000 taels of gold, I can't spend it alone, and the marshal will see that it will be confiscated." "

Bi Zhoucheng knew that Gu Qiong had no intention of these things outside his body, he didn't like luxury, a few years ago Bi Zhoucheng asked him to buy a house in Long'an to live in by himself, but he said that he was alone, and it was not enough to buy a big house, so it was better to live in the camp with his brothers.

Bi Zhoucheng thought about the fact that he was going to start a family when he was old, and privately picked a place for him, Gu Qiong was so moved that he almost didn't call his father, you know, how can a superior be generous enough to buy a house for his subordinates.

Bizhou is kind to others, Gu Qiong naturally won't calculate so much with him, and the endless silver rewards he receives on weekdays should be confiscated, which can be regarded as donating money to the country in disguise.

Bi Zhoucheng said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about confiscation, you are not young, when you find a good girl to start a family, you can be regarded as having your own family." "

Gu Qiong said teasingly: "The marshal is so much older than me, you are not in a hurry, what am I anxious about?"

"Begging. "

Gu Qiong didn't wait for Bizhou Cheng to hit him, so he slipped away first. Bi Zhoucheng wanted to stay and report on his work, so he didn't go back to Long'an with him.

Yuan Zhen carefully looked at the debriefing reports of the military camps in various places brought by Bi Zhoucheng, and asked casually: "Are there many people who sell official beards in it?"

Bizhou Cheng said truthfully: "Occupy a small half, and those who are not real, when it is really time to make a decision to kill, the last general will not dare to let them lead the troops." "

Yuan Zhen threw down the debriefing report and nodded: "To govern the country, loyal ministers must use it, and traitorous ministers must also use it, you and Zhong Shuai have worked hard." "

"That's what the last general should do. "

"It's approaching the end of the year, I think, Duan Guo may not be able to die down, if he takes advantage of the end of the year, he will attack the city again. The marshal and the marshal have worked hard for the country for many years, and this time for the New Year, they will be stationed at the border pass for the time being, and when things are over, the two marshals want to go home and take turns to go back, I know that you have not entered the house for several years. "

Bizhoucheng knelt down on one knee: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion, in front of state affairs, the last general will know the proportions." "

"Well, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Shu will let people send things to the frontier, you don't have to bother to do it." Yuan Zhen helped him up, and his tone was much more relaxed, "I have ordered someone to send your family clothes and medicine for the winter, and some rare antiques, I think Master Bi will like it too." "

Every New Year's Day, Yuan Zhen will take into account their families and give them very rich rewards, from old to young, all of them have a share, this heart is very rare in the position of the emperor.

Bizhou Cheng bowed down and said: "The emperor has a heart, and the last general and Zhong Shuai are very grateful for the emperor's love." "

"The two marshals have been working hard for the Yuan Kingdom for decades, and there is only a small amount I can do. Now that King Qian is gone, all parts of the Yuan Kingdom need the marshal to help take care of it, and I know it. "

Bizhou Cheng saw that Yuan Zhen had a moment of trance, knowing that he missed his son, although it was rumored that King Qian had rebelled in the Yuan Kingdom, he was actually the prince of Duan Kingdom, but Bizhou Cheng They didn't believe it. The emperor has cultivated and educated his son for so many years, and he has taught him so successfully, he can be said to be the pillar of the country, it can be seen how much effort the emperor has put into him, but now, people have long passed away, and it is in vain to say anything.

"The emperor mourns, take care of the dragon's body, if His Royal Highness King Qian is still alive, I don't want to see the emperor sad. "

Yuan Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't talk about those sad things, You Guo made trouble several times a while ago, and I heard that the marshal was also injured, is there still a big problem now?"

"It's okay, I've been drugged, and now I'm almost better. "

said that it was almost ready, but Bizhou was in a hurry to grow up, bumping on horseback, and Rao is trouser leg was wrapped with layers of bandages, and blood was still exposed.

"The marshal doesn't like to invite credit, but you work hard, and I don't know it. Yuan Zhen motioned to Feng Shi'an to offer medicine, "These are all wound medicines made by the Tai Hospital for the two of you, and some ginseng to nourish the body, the marshal must bow down to everything, and I hope you must take care of your body." "

"The last general thanks the emperor for the reward, then again, when the last general went to fight, several people who fought with the last general were all minions of Xilin's side, and the last general discussed it with Zhong Shuai, guessing that maybe You Guo's national fortune was also controlled by the people behind Xilin. "

"Xilin is just a small territory, there is nothing to be afraid of, the people behind Xilin are just borrowing Xilin's place, and there are also people who are installed in the interior of You Guo. "

"Are they all in the same group? are all Xilin people who caused trouble in the Yuan Kingdom a few years ago?"

Yuan

Zhen nodded: "After the marshal goes back, we must strengthen the defense of the border of the Yuan Kingdom, the refining furnace and poisonous water in the capital are taken care of by the Dragon Court, we don't know what their purpose is, we must take precautions." "

"Yes. "

Gao Fengyi has been ill for more than half a month, and he now even wonders if Qi Xiu Jin deliberately revealed this fake news to himself to see his own jokes.

Taking advantage of Bi Zhoucheng's absence in Long'an, Wang Qiao brought something to see him, Gao Feng's face was haggard and he looked very decadent.

He took a look, Wang Qiao

came in with a smile, he thought that Wang Qiao was coming to have fun, so he didn't hesitate to rush people: "The last general is sick, it is not suitable to see people, and Wang Shuai is tired of running away." "

"Brother, I'm coming to see you, you haven't sat down yet, you're going to drive me out?".

Gao Feng only felt tired, and didn't want to be false and wronged with others, Wang Qiao put down the supplements he was carrying, and sat on the edge of the bed: "Brother, I really think that you sit in the position of a general and condescend, as long as you and my brother work together, I can recommend you, you must be in the promotion list a year ago, how about it?"

Gao Feng raised his eyes to look at him, and Wang Qiao nodded: "As long as you nod, at the end of this year, the position of marshal will definitely fall on your head." Wang Qiao patted Gao Feng's arm and said with a smile, "Why should my brother hang himself on a tree, follow my brother and me, it's not that there is no future for development, official positions, and money are indispensable." I know that you have been tricked by Qi Xiu, and your heart is on fire, don't worry, brother, I will find a chance to help you take revenge. "

When Yuan Zhen

stayed up late at night to look at those debriefing reports, he saw the name of Qi Xiu, and was immediately stunned, he thought, is it just a coincidence? After Qian'er was taken away, Xiu Ji was nowhere to be found, and then the affairs of Duan Guo calmed down a little, and Yuan Zhen also asked people to go to Guangzhou to find Qi Xiu, but to no avail. When she returned to her hometown in Yuzhou, there was no news, and she was not in the capital. Yuan Zhen also wondered at that time whether Qi Xiu was in a group with Duan Guoren, and Qian'er went to Duan Guo, and she also followed.

At that time, Yin Yuan still thought that he would rather kill by mistake than misplace, and asked him if he wanted to assassinate Qi Xiu's family. Yuan Zhen thought for a while, remembering the two years that Qi Xiu had been with Ouyang Qian, including after getting married, her family had never been involved, so she didn't kill her.

Now that he saw her on the list of generals of the Yuan Kingdom, Yuan Zhen could not be surprised, so he once again doubted Qi Xiu's personality and intentions.

On the second day, he summoned Bizhou Cheng into the Chengming Hall and asked: "Marshal, the head of the seventy-third battalion of the Long'an military camp is in charge of Qi Xiuji, listening to the name, it doesn't look like a man, it's a ......."

Bi Zhoucheng arched his hand and said: "Although Qi Zhangshi is a female general, her heart to serve the country is not inferior to a man, and the last general made an exception and was included in the camp." "

"When did she join the army?".

"Before the winter of last year. "

Yuan Zhen counted the days, and it turned out to be after Ouyang Qian was rescued.

Yuan Zhen asked: "She is a woman's family, and after joining the army, she can still be promoted to the head of the army in such a short time? How much does the marshal know about her? Is she very talented?"

Bi Zhoucheng nodded: "It's still a little talented, and she works hard, is the emperor worried that a woman's joining the army will have an adverse impact on the barracks?"

Bizhou saw that Yuan Zhen was quite suspicious of Qi Xiu, so he thought that this was the reason.

"What the marshal said is extremely true. "

Bizhou Cheng bowed down and said: "Although she is a woman, her toughness is not bad, she is trained and trained, and she is a usable person." "

"I may not have been to the frontier for a long time, this time the marshal returns to Long'an, I will go with you, and I can also reward the three armies by the way. "

Bi Zhoucheng was a little surprised in his heart, if Yuan Zhen's trip was to see how the Hugh was doing, it would be too much of a fuss, a small official, why not? But since the emperor decided to go to Long'an, he must also go to see how the military style of the military camp in Long'an and the neighboring territories is.

Qi Xiu was

still busy, was notified that he was going to pick up the driver, Qi Xiu thought to himself that the marshal had never put on a shelf, they were already the highest officials, they didn't need anyone to take the car, who else could be taller than them? So casually asked who to take the car, but the man said that it was the emperor, Qi Xiu almost didn't drop his jaw in shock.

During the war last year, she wanted to enter the palace to ask to see her father-in-law, but she couldn't do it, and she could see her father-in-law at this time, so she could ask him what was going on with Ziyi.

After Yuan Zhen

arrived at the Long'an camp, Qi Xiu was kneeling far behind, she didn't have a chance to find Yuan Zhen for questioning in the first two days, so she didn't sleep for two days, she was too eager to know the news of her lover.
