But the war at the border is still waiting for him. He is a general. As long as he is a general for one day, the war at the border will be his.
General Gu felt very guilty: "I promised you not to go before, but you also know that there are very few generals who can lead the soldiers to victory, and now I am the only one."
It's not that he is conceited, except for Li Cangjue, he is the most powerful fighter.
Gu Xiao said angrily: "Let Li Cangjue go! He is so young. He can go to the border and fight for a few more years. Why should I ask you to go? You are old now, can't I let you spend your old age at home?
?The worst case scenario is that we resign."
Finally, he added: "If Qingying knew that you were going to the border, he would definitely not agree."
General Gu felt even more guilty.
After a while, Gu Xiao stood up, looked at General Gu with firm eyes and said, "I don't care, this matter has been settled. You can't go, but I will go too!"
It was impossible for him to let General Gu go to the border, he was already so old.
Although he looks very young, fighting at the border is not a simple matter. The armor and weapons are very heavy.
General Gu has suffered many injuries in these years of fighting. The new injuries and old injuries have caused his body to collapse.
He is still young, he can carry it.
General Gu sighed: "Don't tell your sister about this matter yet. I haven't given the emperor a letter yet. If Li Cangjue is willing to go to the border, that's fine. If Li Cangjue doesn't go, we will have to go alone."
He didn't tell the truth because he had promised the emperor to go.
But at the moment, Gu Xiao was a little emotional, and he was afraid that Gu Xiao couldn't bear it, so he didn't say any more.
Gu Xiao said in a dull voice: "Why doesn't Li Cangjue go to war when he is young and energetic? This country also belongs to the Li family."
As soon as he said this, he was scolded by General Gu.
General Gu scolded: "Shut up, you can't say something nonsense, do you understand? This is not only about your head, but also the lives of everyone in the general's house. Xiao'er, you are not young, no matter what you say or do,
Be cautious."
Gu Xiao's temper is still too impulsive, maybe he is young and energetic. Seeing Gu Xiao now reminds me of his youth. I can't say that he is good, but he is not bad either.
It's just that in a court of intrigues and intrigues, such a temper will definitely bring suffering.
Gu Xiao did not refute, knowing that this was a shortcoming in his character.
General Gu said: "I have arranged a marriage for Lian'er. The son of the Xu family in the city, his father is a seventh-rank official, and his family is quite prosperous."
Seventh grade?
Although Gu Xiao didn't like Gu Lian'er, he felt that he was getting married this time, and said: "The son of a seventh-grade official is a bit..."
He didn't say anything else, he believed General Gu understood the meaning.
General Gu also sighed and said: "The marriage in the Zhao family is good, but Cui and Lian'er don't like it, and they haven't made any plans. Who else in the city is willing to marry Lian'er now? Lian'er has reached the age of marriage, and the more he gets married, the more likely he is to marry Lian'er."
The longer you wait, the harder it will be to find it."
It's not that he doesn't care about Gu Lian'er. If he didn't care, he wouldn't have left Ms. Cui behind.
If he didn't care about Gu Lian'er, he would have sent Ms. Cui away in the first place.
He kept Cui Shi because he wanted Gu Lian'er to wait for maternal love, but he overestimated Cui Shi and thought that no matter what Cui Shi did to his daughter, he would never harm her.
It turned out that Ms. Cui was too stupid, which ultimately led to today's result. No one can blame her for what she is like today.
Gu Xiao frowned: "Cui and Lian'er won't agree. They are ambitious and want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. Cui even wants the mother to be the daughter of the daughter. This marriage that dad said, I
I guess both of them don't like her."
He knew Mr. Cui and Gu Lian'er, they had eyes higher than the top and could never clearly see their identities.
It is also because of this willingness that I have suffered so much and been deceived so much.
General Gu sighed: "It doesn't matter if I don't agree. I must confirm her marriage before I leave."
He didn't want to see Gu Lian'er and Cui become monsters again.
If Gu Lian'er's marriage is uncertain and she doesn't get married, Ms. Cui will probably cause trouble.
He knew very well what Cui was thinking, which was to find a marriage for Gu Lian'er that she thought was good, and then to become rich and powerful, so that she could become the general's wife.
But Mr. Cui didn't know that his heart was given to Mr. Shen. In this life, the position of the general's wife could only belong to Mr. Shen, and no woman could ever think of sitting in Mr. Shen's position.
Mr. Cui should not have any delusions. Because of her relationship, there was a misunderstanding between him and Ms. Shen. This was the most guilty thing in his life.
Gu Xiao said: "If dad doesn't trust them, it's not enough to just settle the marriage. The Zhao family's matter is a precedent, and they have to get married."
General Gu is already worried about this matter, so the Xu family doesn't mind Gu Lian'er's previous affairs, but they have one requirement, which is to get married immediately.
But just now Gu Qingying divorced, and Gu Lian'er's engagement was annulled, and now he wants to marry Gu Lian'er off again. It all feels a bit...
"Is it too hasty?" General Gu said hesitantly.
Gu Xiao sighed: "If dad thinks that the Xu family is not suitable, then forget it. Just don't agree, but you must marry Lian'er as soon as possible. Don't you think that she has a peaceful temperament? If you think that the Xu family's conditions
If it's a bit short, we can just give you more dowry."
This is okay. General Gu thought about it carefully and thought it was true. This is the truth.
He smiled and said, "Okay, okay. If you say so, I won't worry. I will give you more dowry when the time comes. As long as the other party treats Lian'er well, it will be enough."
General Gu was actually a little hesitant because of the Xu family's conditions.
I always feel that the conditions of the Xu family are not good enough.
But it’s perfectly fine to give more dowry, and the General’s Mansion can still afford it.
night.
General Gu came to Cui's yard. When she saw General Gu, Cui's face was full of smiles and she was very enthusiastic.
He stepped forward and wanted to hold General Gu's arm, but General Gu avoided him without leaving any trace: "I came here because of Lian'er's affairs."
Mrs. Cui's face became a little ugly and embarrassed: "I thought your husband was here just for me."
She always felt lonely and lonely.
After that night with General Gu, General Gu never touched her. Over the years, General Gu avoided her every time he came back.
There was obviously no other woman in the general's residence, but General Gu still disliked her.
General Gu frowned imperceptibly: "Where's Lian'er? Call Lian'er out. I have something to tell her."
Ms. Cui quickly asked her maid to call him.
After a while, Gu Lian'er walked into the room. When he saw General Gu, he was not enthusiastic. He saluted perfunctorily and sat aside.
General Gu was even more displeased and said: "Look what you look like! There are no rules at all."
Gu Lian'er curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Dad, what rules do you think I have? You always favor my sister in everything."
She has been very angry. What makes her angry is that General Gu doesn't care about her at all.
He has always only cared about Gu Qingying and favored Gu Qingying in everything.
When Gu Qingying divorced, her father encouraged the divorce, but she had to be scolded when the engagement was annulled.
