Chapter 212 Kill!
Chapter 212 Kill!
The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous at this moment, so ambiguous that even Su Jin felt that something was not quite right, but she did not think about it that way at all. She just felt that Prince Rui was a very particular person who even wanted to be the first in greeting people during the New Year.
However, the gatekeeper beside her and Zhuifeng beside the carriage both sensed something was going on. The four eyes of the two of them, oh, plus Prince Rui's two, a total of six eyes were staring at Su Jin, just to see Su Jin's reaction.
But Su Jin really didn't react at all.
She even just smiled slightly and said calmly: "My Lord, Happy New Year. Well, you are the first place, are you happy?"
“…”
Ah, this is not the case. Instead, I feel a little disappointed. What’s going on?
Zhao Jingyu was a little dejected, but time didn't wait for him to say anything more. Some officials were already rushing to the palace, and he had to go as well.
So he could only nod and say, "Well, wait for me. When I'm not busy, I'll come to eat hot pot with you."
"good!"
Su Jin smiled. It turned out that Prince Rui liked the hot pot dipping sauce he made himself. However, instead of coming here to eat together, could we go to Ning Ruolan’s hot pot restaurant to try it together, huh?
Knowing that Zhao Jingyu was anxious, Su Jin did not say these words, but watched Zhao Jingyu go away.
"Okay, close the door."
She asked the maid to close the door and then entered the Moon Gate, where she saw Xie Huaiguang sitting in the porch admiring the moon.
The temperature outside is at least minus ten degrees Celsius now, and water will freeze into ice. Child, why are you admiring the moon here? ?
"you……"
Before Su Jin could speak, Xie Huaiguang interrupted her: "Sixth Miss is both virtuous and talented, so everyone likes you, including Prince Rui."
For some reason, this sounds a bit sour, but it's just a bit, not much.
For Su Jin, who always dips dumplings in vinegar, he can't taste the sourness at all, really.
"Really? I guess so. I think I'm perfect too."
Su Jin smiled and said, "Okay, go in."
Seeing Su Jin's calm expression, Xie Huaiguang's eyes darkened. He stood up and shook off the non-existent dust on his body, and said calmly: "No, I still have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. Sixth Miss, I'm sorry to bother you."
After saying this, Xie Huaiguang bowed and left very cleanly and neatly.
Su Jin looked at his departing figure and couldn't help but sigh: "Being an official is really tiring. I can't even rest on New Year's Day."
If it were my era, even if civil servants worked until New Year's Eve, they would have a day off on the first day of the new year. But now officials have to get up early on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. Look, it's just past midnight and it's still early for dawn.
"Who made them officials?"
Ning Ruolan came over with a smile and stuffed a piece of candy into Su Jin's hand: "Try it, it's newly made, there are only about ten pieces, I accidentally ate too much, now there are only two pieces left, no one else has any, only give it to auntie."
Ning Ruolan was beautiful, and even more beautiful when she smiled. Su Jin held a handmade candy in his mouth, savoring the sweetness between his lips and teeth, admiring the beauty's face. He thought that the first day of the new year was a really good start, and he had already looked at all the handsome men and beautiful women before dawn.
Well, very good.
"Happy New Year, Auntie!"
Ning Ruolan was the second one to wish everyone a happy new year. It was not until this moment that Su Jin remembered that Xie Huaiguang seemed to have not wished her a happy new year yet.
What an ungrateful person, he eats his own food and drinks his own drinks, and doesn't even say a word of good luck.
But what else can she do? He is the male lead. Well, she has to just bear with it.
The New Year in the capital is unusually lively.
However, far in the northwest, the scenery is quite different.
The biting north wind and bone-chilling ice are the most realistic portrayal of the northwest winter. Liu Chong led his large army and finally arrived in Zhangye before the end of the year. After successfully meeting with General He Bi, the two discussed in the camp until late at night. Then Liu Chong's large army left Zhangye and arrived at Juyan and Xiutu where troops were stationed. As for food and supplies, most of them were naturally taken away. Only a small part was placed by Liu Chong in a small town nearby, so that they could be hidden nearby and it would be convenient to withdraw them.
Gu Zixuan and Yin Zhengnan naturally stationed in the small town along with the food and supplies. When they came, Gu Zixuan also walked around the city and observed it, memorizing the terrain here firmly in his mind.
"Pfft, it's really cold in the northwest, my baby almost froze to death!"
Yin Zhengnan was so cold that he grimaced after peeing. It was warmer inside the adobe house because the walls were thick and he could light a fire inside.
From the extravagance of the capital to the bitter cold of the northwest, Yin Zhengnan was still somewhat unable to accept it, but Gu Zixuan had already unfolded the city defense map to check the situation of the small town.
"Hey, don't look at it. We are only here temporarily. We will go west in the spring. I heard we are going to Dunhuang. As for whether we will guard Yangguan or Yumenguan in the end, I don't know."
Gu Zixuan didn't say anything, but still watched carefully. Yin Zhengnan also felt the changes in Gu Zixuan along the way. He felt that Gu Zixuan was more silent and more steady, more like a tough guy licking blood on the tip of a knife than himself.
So he could only sit aside and watch with Gu Zixuan.
It was not known whether Yin Zhengnan's mouth was blessed or not, but within two days, news spread that the Huns had somehow bypassed the checkpoints and headed straight for Jiuquan. When Liu Cong got the news, he led his men to meet the enemy. Because they were traveling light, they only took half of the food and supplies, and the escort officer also went with them. Only Gu Zixuan and Yin Zhengnan were left behind to guard the remaining food and supplies.
Yin Zhengnan stood in the adobe house and yelled at the howling north wind: "You old man, are you planning to take us to the battlefield to kill the enemy? How can we achieve success without killing the enemy? Tut, you old man, what a bullshit!"
Yin Zhengnan scolded Liu Cong for having bad intentions, but Gu Zixuan said quietly: "Maybe he is protecting you and me. Oh, maybe he is protecting you, and I am just passing by."
As the eldest princess's youngest son and the emperor's cousin, Liu Chong was afraid that something might happen to Yin Zhengnan. If something really happened, no matter how much military merit he had earned, he would be punished when he returned.
Yin Zhengnan sighed deeply. How could he stand upright beside Gu Suiyu if he didn't make any achievements?
When he was feeling depressed, the guards suddenly rushed in and said in fear: "Captain Gu, some Huns have come here in the dark, and it seems that there are quite a few of them!"
Hearing this, Gu Zixuan's heart sank.
Before Liu Cong left, he did leave some people to guard, but if there were too many Huns, this number of people would not be enough.
Moreover, this small city is dilapidated and old, and I don’t know if it can hold out until the army returns. Moreover, there are still many civilians in the city...
Gu Zixuan's head was spinning rapidly, but Yin Zhengnan had already drawn the long sword from his waist and roared in the snowy night: "Military merit is coming, fuck him!!"
This is the first time in my seventeen years of life that I have encountered a tough battle.
Beating Ma Guang by the pond today was nothing. What happened tonight was a real fight!
Yin Zhengnan's blood was boiling, his eyes were red as he faced the north wind, and there was only one word in his heart and eyes.
kill!
