Cao Niangzi not only dressed hi out the sword training puppet to mess with
The children painted two simple blushes for it, and no one knehere they were able to obtain a few old silks to tie around the iron arht lights and flowers carried a bowl of noodles in its hand, du at Gu Yun Its black iron face seerievance
Gu Yun scolded: “bastards, is the sword training puppet for you all to play like this?”
Ge Ban Xiao came forward to announce his contribution: “Marquis sir, the fake girl applied the blushes, I helpedbrother put in the egg!”
Gu Yun was dumbfounded for athe place that had been lonesonizable
Chang Geng: “Yifu, eat the noodle first before entering the door”
Gu Yun: “Alright”
He picked up the bowl and glanced at Chang Geng He especially picked out the egg to eat first His first bite was into a crisp fragshell, but he did not even once coether And as if he had never eaten a ht lifetimes, the whole boas finished in a moment, even the broth was all clean
Since ancient times, “a tender hometoas the burial mound of all heroes” In Gu Yun’s previous departure from the capital, there was neither burden or worry Only this time, his heart was full of sorrow
Perhaps because for hi’ to the frontier Only this time, he would soon have to ‘leave hoentleness, but even if his inside was cut into pieces, nothing could stop the feet of the Marquis of Order
The next day, Gu Yun prepared to leave as if nothing rong In the end, he did not bid farewell to Chang Geng but traveled to the Northern Camp alone He turned to look back at the direction of the capital
It was a pity that frouely see Qi Yuan tower
Shen Yi walked his horse to Gu Yun’s side and asked: “Grand Marshal, is your conscience speaking out?”
Gu Yun sighed: “Perhaps he will not recognize me anymore the next ti… Let’s go”
The Black Iron Ca a black ind sweeping by Everyone could not help but move out tothe Barbarian Prince to the north, then with ing on the desert of the Western Region, to ensure that the Silk Road could be operated in a safe and sot up early as any other day He remembered that Gu Yun was not at ho the puppet to Gu Yun’s empty yard, cross swords with it, then have his breakfast all by himself
When he was about to leave, he looked up and saw that the plum blossoo, there was a big snow, the petals were covered with a layer of condensed frost The rew to like it, the more he couldn’t help but reach up and pick out two branches His first reaction was always to save theh he knew yifu will not necessarily return within three or five days He carefully wiped away the frost and snow off the branches, then looked for a flower vase to place into Gu Yun’s roo all over Gu Yun’s large cha that could serve as a vase, not even a wine bottle He opened theto ask their old butler: “Uncle wang, do we have a vase at hoet one, Chang Geng held two plu back and forth Gu Yun’s room
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the bedside, he froze – the fox fur coat on the bed that gives the whole bedroom a more valuable look had disappeared
At this ti ca Geng: “Your Highness, will this do? Where should we put it”
Chang Geng’s eyes stared straight at the e, why did the Marquis put away the fur coat this early?”
Uncle wang’s eyes twitched slightly, he let out a stiff replied: “Was the Marquis not escorting His Majesty? Perhaps he had brought it with hi’s heart slowly sank
On New Year’s Eve, the Black Eagle soldier serving under Gu Yun had told him that Marshal never inter clothes in the capital, and would only put them on occasionally in the face of a snow blizzard
He had already felt that it was a bit strange on that day – since Gu Yun did not inter clothes, for what reason did he hang the fur coat out for? What was it going to be used for? But at that time, the situation was in a state of chaos, he hihtmares, his mind was not so clear thus he did not think about it any further
Chang Geng turned his head, his voice dried up, like a string that had been stretch to its lio? Please don’t lie tooutside shan is still nearer to the capital co held a vase in his hands, standing still aardly
Gu Yun had left it to others to do his bidding for hi like this would happen sooner or later, but he did not expect for it to co took a deep breath and whispered, “Is he already leaving the capital to go to the frontier? Where? North, or West?”
The old butler forced out an aard smile: “As for military affairs, this old servant does not understand hness, perhaps the Marquis did this for he did not want you to be worried…”
Chang Geng’s hand twisted, breaking one of the flower branches in half He forced out every word: “He is not afraid that I will be worried, he is afraid that I will insist on co with him no matter what”

Chang Geng’s heart was as clear as a mirror, he had always been aware that his existence was unnecessary He did not intend to get involved It was destined for hinificant chess piece, like in the dark river of Yanhui Town, being dragged away involuntarily
He was blindfolded by the false sense of peace and happiness these few days, greed had risen up inside hi, deceived himself, and refused to think about the future
Whatplaced a hand on his chest and asked himself You want too much
However, despite the waves of turbulence in his heart, when faced with the old grey haired butler, Chang Geng did not say anything
The old butler worriedly asked: “Your Royal Highness?…”
