Chapter 372: Reward for Vigilance

In the moment just now, whether this young man saw through Gu Li's flaws more accurately, or Gu Li caught more gaps in this young man's moves, this is not important to Tian Xian now, and there is no need to let Gu Li and this young man compare a few more times.

"Marshal, did you call me here today mainly so that a person who had just stabbed us could follow us and keep an eye on us at all times?"

Tian Xian was slightly angry in his heart, this young man's previous sneak attack was just that, this was deliberately arranged by Ge Yun, but this young man's attitude was inevitably too bad, he looked at himself and Gu Li's eyes, as if he was looking at a pile of useless waste, and he was as dissatisfied as he had to work hard for it.

"Lord Marshal, I am not an official in the Longyuan Empire, and naturally I don't know what the wind is in the empire, let alone how to deal with myself, but!" Tianxian's voice faintly revealed annoyance, "The reason why I came to the Longyuan Empire is that I hope I can be sheltered at the right time, this is my most important condition, and what you are doing now seems to be forgetting why I came to the Longyuan Empire so officially!"

Facing Tianxian's angry eyes, Ge Yun did not seem to be flustered, but calmly, only to hear him say lightly: "Young man...... You still don't know what I mean, but now that you've stepped into this whirlpool, it's up to you to do anything in the future, and you now think I'm making trouble for you, old man, but soon...... You'll know how much I have been so good to you today, old man!"

Tianxian frowned deeply, Ge Yun obviously had something to say, but he didn't say it explicitly, but he really couldn't guess what he meant now, and what it had to do with the current young man.

This young man is Ge Yun's grandson! Following him is naturally the identity of a watchman, how can he be so benevolent to himself?

Although the day is idle, full of doubts. But Ge Yun didn't seem to want to explain at all, and waved his hand to the young man and said, "This matter is settled, he stopped your attack, it can be regarded as meeting your requirements, go pack up your things, and go with him in a while!"

"Yes!" replied the young man, with no emotion in his voice. Just like a machine, he immediately turned around and left.

Tian Xian watched him quickly disappear into the night, and his voice was slightly cold: "Lord Marshal, it is ...... for you to forcibly place someone next to me like this."

"Young man!" Ge Yun interrupted Tian Xian's words, "There are some things that I can't say clearly, old man, but you remember, today's incident is for your good, and it is also for the good of the Longyuan Empire." You don't have to wonder, because you'll know right away why he's with you, and don't think I'm domineering. ”

Tianxian was full of doubts, Ge Yun's words were conclusive, and this young man was afraid that it would be of great use in the future. However, this came too suddenly, and the identity and behavior of this young man did not make him suspicious.

Ge Yun picked up a glass of wine on the table. Raising his head and looking at the moon, he said, "Come, I'll have a drink with the old man first, don't waste today's good dishes." ”

This table is indeed a good dish, I have never seen such a delicate and delicious meal in the VIP residence, but now facing Ge Yun, I can still eat, but I just nod my head to socialize. accompanied Ge Yun for a drink.

This made Tian Xian frown slightly, because although Tian Xian didn't like to drink, but after all, he also knew something about it, and today he held a banquet in this huge marshal's mansion, and the dishes were exquisite. But this wine seems to be too shoddy.

Seeing Tianxian frowning, Ge Yun laughed, and his smile was more rugged and heroic, "It seems that you think the old man's wine is not very good, hum! The young man still doesn't know how to drink, Gu Li, you can have a drink too!"

Tianxian and Guli were big accidents.

Gu Li hurriedly saluted and replied in a low voice: "A woman, don't dare to be presumptuous in front of the marshal. ”

"Woman?" Ge Yun laughed twice, he seemed to be extra fond of laughing today, "It's okay...... On this battlefield, men charge into battle and kill the enemy for the country, in the final analysis, but it is also for women to have a place to sleep soundly, and many times, women ...... But you can influence the war more than men, you used to be the envoy of the West Temple, and you are different from ordinary women, come! Taste the wine in my marshal's mansion, and then tell me, how is this wine?"

Gu Li was puzzled, what kind of style did Ge Yun smoke today, he is an old minister who is simply a master, but today he has to drink with a little-known woman, why is this?

glanced at Tianxian, Tianxian nodded to her quietly, Gu Li stepped forward at this time, and did not touch other wine utensils, directly took Tianxian's wine glass, poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

Ge Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Pouring himself full of wine, Ge Yun raised his glass and said: "Back then, I fought for the emperor, and I was running around for many years, surrounded by a group of stinky men with swords and armor, and there was no woman in the army all the year round, but we couldn't go to catch the women of prisoners of war at will, which would damage the prestige of the imperial army, so I gathered some women in the local area and symbolically toasted a glass of wine for the soldiers, hehe...... It can be regarded as comforting the hearts of the soldiers. ”

When Gu Li heard this, his face turned pale, when he marched and fought, there were many things where soldiers plundered the enemy's women, and sometimes it was instructed by the commander, Ge Yun did not do such a thing, but the meaning of his words just now was the same, saying these words in front of Gu Li was a great humiliation to her.

"Marshal, this ...... But my sister. "The sound of Tianxian is getting colder and colder.

Gu Lizheng was secretly angry in his heart, but after listening to Tian Xian's words, he was stunned, and looked at Tian Xian incredibly, on the way to the Marshal's Mansion, he was still angry and petty, and Tian Xian's words made him feel happy, but it was all a private matter, for outsiders, he was still just an abandoned pawn who was hunted down by the Holy Spirit Temple.

I don't know why I suddenly have an indescribable feeling in my heart, no matter how I coax myself in private, sometimes ...... But it's too late to fight for yourself in front of outsiders!

"Sister?" Ge Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Li and said with a smile: "Where did this sister of yours come from? More than half a year ago, she was still the envoy of the West Palace, and when she met you for the first time, she was still the right person, right?"

Tian Xian's words no longer had the slightest sense of politeness, and he said coldly: "The relationship between relatives does not necessarily have to be determined by the length of time they get along, the marshal has gone through two generations of emperors. is invincible all his life, presumably not only invincible in the battlefield, but also invincible in this officialdom, and there is such a thing as people's hearts...... Naturally, it is towards those who are really close to him! The marshal must understand this truth!"

"Oh, in just half a year, this Guli has already made you pay so much attention?"

"Half a year is a lot of time. Tianxian stood up directly and said directly. "If the marshal has nothing else to do today, Tian Xian still has something to discuss with the rest of the people about this transaction, so he won't bother anymore. ”

Ge Yun was surprised that his attitude suddenly hardened, for so many years, the people who came to Shangfu to talk to him have been lined up from the palace to the city gate, and today there is actually someone who will give him a look on his face and want to throw his sleeves and leave.

"Hahaha!!"

Ge Yun put down his wine glass, laughed loudly, laughed a little out of shape, and slapped the table with his hand.

Tian Xian didn't want to listen to Ge Yun laugh here. saluted directly, "The marshal is fine, and he retired that day." ”

"Stop!"

Seeing that Tianxian was about to leave, Ge Yun finally suppressed his laughter, "Young people are less scheming and more bloody, which is not a bad thing, but sometimes." It's better to listen to the old man's words, it will be beneficial to do nothing! Sit down! Marshal Ben has nothing to say!"

Tian Xian had to sit down patiently again.

Ge Yun seemed to have forgotten what had just happened in a blink of an eye. Looking at Gu Li, he asked, "What was the wine just now...... How?"

Gu Li didn't dare to raise his face at Ge Yunhan, and still bowed his head and replied respectfully: "The lower officials don't understand wine, so it's not good to say." ”

Looking up and down and noting Gu Li, Ge Yun laughed twice, "It's rare that you are charming, but you are still so pure and beautiful." And...... It's not like your master who doesn't know how to measure inches. ”

Gu Li was faintly uneasy, Ge Yun was the absolute second person in the Longyuan Empire except for the Longyuan Emperor, if he really offended him, it would be more troublesome than offending the Longyuan Emperor, if Tianxian collided with him because of himself......

Convergent look. Gu Li became more and more respectful, and said in a low voice: "The chief adult is very tired for this transaction during this time, and there are inappropriate words, please don't be surprised, in fact, the chief ......."

"When did you become so good at talking?" Tianxian suddenly glared at Gu Li.

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but subconsciously glared at Tianxian, "I'm not speaking for you yet!"

Before finishing speaking, Gu Li realized that he was used to it on weekdays, and he didn't restrain himself for a while, and now Ge Yun was still beside him, so he suddenly broke out in a hot sweat, and hurriedly said: "Let the marshal laugh, Xiaguan, Xiaguan is just ......"

"Hehehe......" Ge Yun just smiled, waved his hand to interrupt Gu Li's words, and didn't care.

Picking up the wine glass again, Ge Yun's expression had a little more nostalgia, and he said to himself: "I know, you all think that this wine is shoddy and should not appear in my marshal's mansion, but this wine is the wine I drank the most when I fought in the war! I drank it when I won the battle! I drank it even after I lost the battle! I couldn't sleep when I was injured and couldn't drink it! I was chased by the emperor's seven edicts to break the enemy within a time limit, and I drank it when I had an anxious headache! In this life, I almost drank this kind of wine!"

His eyes fell on Tianxian and Gu Li, and Ge Yun said meaningfully: "In a person's life, no matter what path he takes, he can't change it if he walks more! No matter if you go right! Or if you go wrong! Most of the time, there is no turning back! And even if you look back, you feel ...... That's not your own way!"

Tian Xian was puzzled again, Ge Yun's words were obviously hinting at something, definitely not just nostalgia for his experience of fighting back then.

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Ge Yun poured himself another glass and sighed: "You are all young, and you have a long way to go in the future, but you must be cautious from now on, once you take the wrong path...... I want to go back!hehehe......"

Tian Xian and Gu Li's hearts sank slightly, Ge Yun, is it hinting at allegiance to him?

"I don't need your allegiance to me!"

Tianxian and Gu Li almost had the same thoughts, but this kind of thoughts were confused by Ge Yun's words.

"You should all know that I was originally a prince, the eldest brother of the previous emperor, I gave up my life of glory and wealth, gave up my royal identity to join the army, and now although I am glorious, I Ge Yun has served the empire wholeheartedly all my life, and I have never had the slightest selfishness, no one can doubt this!!"

Tianxian lowered his head slightly. For Ge Yun, in fact, he still respects him very much from the bottom of his heart, which prince is not pampered, can give up his identity, join the army to fight everywhere, and shed blood and sweat for the empire. This is not something that ordinary people, even those who have to make great sacrifices, can do.

Ge Yun sighed, "What I ask for is just to live up to the instructions of the previous emperor, and wish this Longyuan Empire to be strong, and the rest...... Hmph! What intrigues, what officialdom, life is short for decades, compared with the continuous years of empire. It's just a passing moment. ”

Tianxian couldn't help but look up at Ge Yun, the old general actually said such a thing, which was really impressive.

"So......" Ge Yun's gaze became fierce again, "This time I invite you to come and hold a banquet in the remote place of this marshal's mansion, and all the idle people around you will be avoided, leaving only my grandson to attack you in the bamboo forest, this is a reminder." It's also a warning! The bargaining relationship you have brought to the Empire this time is heavy, and I am not the only one who is watching you. A lot of people are watching you, and I want you to be cautious about what you say and do, and even if you don't have allegiance to the Empire, it's best not to be malicious, and I'm keeping my grandchildren by your side, to watch your every move. But he is good for you, and soon you will understand!"

Ge Yun had already said it so clearly, Tian Xian immediately nodded, "The marshal's hard work, Tian Xian understands." Tian Xian naturally didn't think about calculating anything about the Longyuan Empire, relatively speaking, the Longyuan Empire was friendly to many countries on the human continent. ”

"It's best if you think like this!"

"But ......" Tian Xian hesitated for a moment, and finally asked directly, "The marshal's words today really surprised Tian Xian, I don't know what will happen in the future, I actually let the marshal work so hard, and he did not hesitate to give such a straightforward warning." Even if it's not convenient to tell you now, but if you tell a little bit about it......"

Ge Yun looked at Tian and smiled, "You little thing is very good at the wind and rudder, so you will come to me immediately." ”

"I don't dare. ”

"Old man, I'm ...... I appreciate you very much!"?

A big question mark suddenly appeared on Tianxian's head, "Appreciate me? What do you appreciate me? I have only met you, and you appreciate me? And his own net worth is clear to him, and it seems that he has nothing that can be appreciated by this generalissimo.

Looking at Tian Xian, who was full of doubts, Ge Yun sighed softly, "I joined the army at the age of fourteen, and my mood at the beginning was the same as what you did at the tea party today. ”

Tianxian was slightly surprised.

Ge Yun's gaze showed a deep and incomprehensible color, "A person, a man! Only when I feel that I am insignificant! I feel that I am powerless! I want to protect something more and more! At the beginning of the empire's internal and external troubles, the previous emperor was sad all day long, and even washed his face with tears! Our imperial family was bullied by foreign relatives and ministers! I deeply felt my own incompetence, and I was extremely disgusted with eating and drinking within the walls all day long, so I gave up my identity and joined the army! I was thinking about only one thing at that time! That is, from the hands of this group of evil wolves, protect my country well!"

Saying this, Ge Yun looked at the expected surprised look of Tianxian, moved his gaze to Gu Li, and said slowly: "Young man, what I see in your eyes is the same gaze as I did at the beginning, and it is more fiery and firm!

Tian Xian lowered his gaze slightly, and the surprise in his heart was even worse, this Ge Yun could really guess other people's minds just by looking at people's eyes?

"You are so young, and you are not driven by righteousness, it is really commendable that you can still have this kind of heart in the midst of the various forces vying for pursuit and temptation! Many young people who have experienced those things about you are afraid that they are either arrogant and crazy, or they have obeyed a certain force and become a puppet. ”

Pouring the wine, this time Ge Yun took a sip gently, "I have checked your news, since you appeared, you have caused a lot of trouble and suffered a lot, but it is really difficult for you to be able to be so spirited now, and your mind is even more commendable, but ......"

After a pause, Ge Yun's gaze suddenly fell on Gu Li, "You have to understand, whether it is a military prostitute or a sister around you, they are all remembered, whether you are unarmed or holding ancient magic treasures, you may not always be able to protect them every time, if you want to protect something, you can't just rely on determination." ”

These words sounded like rolling thunder in Tianxian's ears.

Standing up, Tian Xian bowed deeply to Ge Yun, "Tian Xian was offended a lot just now, and I also invite Marshal Haihan! ”

Ge Yun smiled faintly, "Actually, I shouldn't have said this to you, but it's a big deal, I like you too, old man, that's why I called you over, I know that you have been prevaricating the forces of all parties, it can be seen that you have your own purpose, and young people have their own hearts and goals, this is the best thing, but since you have something to do with the Longyuan Empire, then mutual benefit and reciprocity is the best choice, do you understand?"

"Tian Xian understands!"

Ge Yun nodded, "Okay...... Since you have become so well-behaved again, the old man is scared of you today, so it seems that the old man is very mean to ask you to go back, and I will go with my grandson to choose a few things to bring back, even if it is a meeting gift I give you. ”

Tianxian was surprised, "The marshal is strict, it's not necessary!"

"Hehe!" Ge Yun smiled, "It's not just for you, the female doll behind you also has a share!"

Gu Li looked at Ge Yun blankly, "I'...... Me?"

"Hmph! unruly little girl!In the end, it's still not as active as your master's mind, this time the old man is complete, thank me later!" (to be continued......)
