Chapter 380 (1/2)

White clouds were ethereal in the blue sky. A brown goose crossed the sky and cut a cloud edge in the air. Only bleak autumn scenery remained in the wilderness. The withered branches are like beggars with skinny hands reaching out to the people. It seems that all the fun is in the sky.

”Changqing, I see what you are doing all the time looking at the sky. Do you want to beat a wild goose down to eat? Remember to call me when you beat it. I don't know what the wild goose is like?”

A handsome young man in military uniform flew into his temples. Star eyes are bright. His side face forms a perfect arc, just like the craftsman's carving. But the wound between his neck gave the perfect side face a defective beauty. He shook his head carelessly and said with a smile, ”thousands of mountains and dusk snow. Who is the shadow going to? Wild geese are loyal birds. I don't want to eat them.”

General Kur laughed loudly and said, ”it's true that Mr. Chu, who has read many books, is different from us. When we see wild geese, we only think about how to roast them and what kind of seasoning to use. I'm really ashamed that you think of what dusk snow is.”

Chu Changqing smiled. He raised his eyebrow and looked at him. ”I just read a few poems. It's no big deal. The world is useless. I'm a scholar. It's better to be able to lead troops and fight like a general. It's also to win glory for Xirong.”

General Kur touched his beard. ”I don't care about glory. As long as my daughters can eat and wear warm, I will be satisfied.”

”The general is really pure hearted and has won so many wars for Xirong. Your daughters can marry a good husband, not to mention having enough to eat,” Chu Changqing half narrowed his eyes. ”We just have to work hard to make sure that the people in Xirong can eat and wear warm clothes.”

General Kur curved his lips and said, ”the first emperor of Qin was ignorant and had no ability. It gave us the opportunity to make rapid progress in just a few years. Now we have a new emperor, but it's the same. We won a siege, but so are others.”

”The new emperor has just ascended the throne. How can he compare with the emperor? He is just a child,” Chu Changqing thought with a low eyebrow for a moment. ”The emperor asked me to send Princess Gu to make a marriage this time. Before she left, she was unwilling in every way and almost turned the whole palace over.”

General Kur smiled clearly. ”The princess was spoiled since childhood. Where dare the emperor neglect the princess held in the palm of his hand? But I really can't figure out why I should take the old road of peace and marriage with such a strong national strength in Xirong, and why should I marry the most distressed Princess to the emperor of Qin?”

”This is different from the state of Qi. The emperor of Qi can just find a prince's daughter, but the emperor of Qin is not so easy to fool,” Chu Changqing said with a smile. ”Besides, the emperor doesn't want to fight all the time and ruin Xirong's life, so marrying the most noble Archduke is the best choice.”

General Kur sighed slightly: ”if I send my daughter to such a far place, I must be reluctant to give up 10000.”

”Princess Gu is smart and lively. If she becomes the queen of the state of Qin, she can help Xirong. She must be better than other princesses.”

General Kur looked at him deeply. ”Changqing, I thought the emperor would betroth Princess Gu to you. I didn't expect the emperor to marry her to such a distant place.”

”I'm just a scholar. It's nothing. Princess Gu is so noble. How could the emperor betroth her to me,” Chu Changqing said with a bitter smile on his lips. ”Let the princess go to the people who deserve him best.”

General Kur was ready to comfort him. A soldier came up and said, ”report to general Chu, Princess Gu, please.”

Chu Changqing frowned. General Kur coughed unnaturally and said, ”the princess is inevitably more delicate. She is complaining about this and that all the way. When you go later, you probably want to tell you this.”

”Oh, forget it,” Chu Changqing sighed. ”Who makes her a princess.”

Colorful tassels are hung everywhere in the snow-white tent. A beauty lies obliquely on the beauty couch paved with fox skin and tiger skin. A pair of Danfeng eyes are flying, and the water waves in the green eyes are like two pearls. The thin lips are slightly purplish red, like thousands of smiles on the corners of the lips. The long blond hair is scattered and shining in the sun, She was well proportioned, with slender hands and feet. She wore a big red beard embroidered with birds with gold thread and looked at people with a smile.

Chu Changqing took a breath and said slowly, ”what's the matter with the princess inviting me?”

Gu Mei stared at him like silk, stretched out a white finger to hook his collar, smiled wantonly and said, ”why do you say I invite you to come at this time? You know very well in your heart. Why should you pretend to be confused with me?”

Chu Changqing's breath was full of her fragrance. His hands gathered into fists and pretended to be calm: ”princess, you have been betrothed to the emperor of the state of Qin by the emperor. Now is not the time to make this trouble. Please rest early. The state of Qin will arrive soon.”

”You don't know that you are the only one in my heart. I have no interest in that emperor. I don't want to marry him,” Gu's eyes turned. ”Why don't you take me away, just the two of us?”
