Chapter 4 The important thing is that you are not married yet
Ye Sili put down her propped up hand, changed her posture, and leaned comfortably on the chair. Thinking of the osmanthus in the courtyard, the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised slightly.
He is finally coming back.
Gu Liyou's plan to deceive the enemy really deceived everyone. Tomorrow morning, our court will be defeated in the streets and alleys. At this time, as long as the enemy is bold and dares to capture the city without thinking
, it must be a total loss!
Of course, before this, everyone except Ye Sili and Mu Jiufeng, including the enemy, would have thought that our army was severely damaged and had no power to fight back.
Ye Sili was in a good mood. She stood up, patted her wrinkled clothes, and said to Mu Jiufeng:
"When Ayou returns to Beijing, I'll treat you to a luxurious meal at Zuiyun Tower!"
"That's settled." Mu Jiufeng also stood up, looked at the sky, and said to Ye Sili:
"It's getting late today, so I'll go back first. You have a good rest."
Ye Sili nodded and sent Mu Jiufeng out of the house.
The next day, as expected by Ye Sili, all the men, women, and children in the streets and alleys discussed the bad news that the prince was seriously injured, the captain was missing, and our army was defeated. People were panicked for a while, and all the officials in the court were shocked.
At a loss!
What's more, he even specially sent his confidants to hand over a letter to comfort Ye Sili.
Ye Sili cooperated with her. It was rare that she didn't leave the house for a stroll. She stayed in the house all day, but only received letters and saw no visitors. No one thought she was rude. They just thought she was overly sad and depressed.
However, the real owner carried a chair and sat in front of Dangui all day long, drinking tea and admiring flowers. From time to time, he listened to Late Spring Huanxia telling interesting things on the street recently. What a wonderful life!
Some time later, Ye Sili changed clothes early in the morning and went out with Late Spring and Huanxia.
"Princess, are you going to wait for the prince and the young master at the city gate again?" Munchun held an umbrella and walked on Si Li's right side.
Ye Sili smiled slightly and said: "Yes, I estimate that they will come back in the next few days. I will wait at the city gate. Grandpa and Ayou will be able to see me when they return to the capital, and they will be happy.
Very.”
In this way, in the next few days, Ye Sili got up early every morning, packed up, and went to the high building at the city gate to wait. He waited all day.
On the fifth day of October, it rained heavily and the whole street was wet.
In late spring and Huanxia, they stood on a high-rise building and looked outside the city. It was completely empty...
Huan Xia finally couldn't help but persuade: "Princess, you have been here for more than ten days. The weather is not good today, so why don't you go back home first? Munchun and I will stay here. If there is any news, we will inform you immediately."
you."
The look in Ye Sili's eyes dimmed a bit, and her expression was not as good as it was a few days ago.
If her guess was correct, after Jiu Feng returned to Beijing to provide disaster relief, the enemy army must not have dared to fight for a long time. They would either retreat back home in despair, or try their best to capture the border city.
At present, our army is "defeated". People are panicked and unable to do what they want. According to the opponent's previous fighting style, it is impossible for them to give up on such a great situation. But as long as they attack, they will fall into the trap carefully set by Ayou and grandfather.
, In this way, our army will definitely win a great victory, and counting the time, they should have arrived in Kyoto long ago.
But Ye Sili waited and waited, but neither saw the army returning to the court nor heard any news from Jiu Feng. Ye Sili's hands, so fair and bloodless, grasped the railing tightly, and his hands could not help but tremble slightly.
They should have come back long ago...
Ye Sili looked out of the city, and saw that the sky was filled with rain, and it seemed like a vast white fog had arisen, making it difficult to see the distance.
Ayou, the osmanthus in the courtyard is about to wither...
Ayou, didn’t you say you wanted to accompany me to enjoy the flowers?
Ayou, I've already made a reservation at Zuiyun Tower and I'm just waiting for you to come back.
…
Ye Sili's hand that was holding the railing tightly had clear joints and became increasingly pale. Seeing this in late spring and summer, he did not dare to dissuade him. Now everyone in Kyoto knew the outcome of this battle, although it had been a long time since he heard the news that the city had been captured.
, it can only be said that the border soldiers resisted desperately, and it was only because the road was far away that the news did not arrive for a long time...
Huan Xia looked at Si Li worriedly, then turned to look at the farthest place, which was the direction where the prince and the young master left for the expedition. At that time, the three of them also stood here and watched them leave without saying goodbye.
, Sure enough, things are impermanent...
Suddenly, Huan Xia concentrated his attention and looked into the distance, shocked, disbelieving, and delighted... He held Ye Sili with one hand and pointed in the direction outside the city with the other.
"Princess, look!"
Ye Sili and Mu Chun both looked in the direction of Huan Xia's finger.
Far away, near...
"The princess is the prince and the prince!"
"They're back!"
In late spring, I was so excited that my eyes wet.
Ye Sili looked, so far away, the sky was filled with rain, and he couldn't see the distance clearly. Gradually, gradually, their figures appeared in Sili's field of vision, densely packed and neat. Although Ye Sili couldn't see their faces clearly, Ye Sili couldn't see the distance clearly.
You know, it's them... Grandpa and Ayou!
Unable to think, Ye Sili turned around and was about to go down, but at some point, the street below was already crowded with people, pushing and shoving, making it extremely lively.
Even though Ye Sili was escorted by Huan Xia in late spring, he still could not squeeze through the enthusiastic people. Seeing that the army had arrived at the city gate, Ye Sili turned around and climbed up the high building again.
When the army returned to the court, Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liyou were dressed in armor, holding spears in their hands, and rode horses at the forefront. Although the people were enthusiastic and excited, they still gave way to the road and did not hinder the army from returning to the court at all. They shouted in unison
"Prince" and "Captain", the shouts rang through the sky, as if they were about to vent all the worries and worries of the past few months.
People, this is how you express your most sincere blessings in the most straightforward way.
Ye Sili stood on a high building and looked at the person being supported by the people and blessing her in unison. It was the person she thought about day and night.
Ye Sili couldn't help but smile. Gu Liyou, who was surrounded by the crowd, seemed to notice this smile. He gently pulled the reins and looked back in the direction of Ye Sili. He saw Ye Sili hanging on the
Both of them were startled by the smiles on their faces. Gu Liyou's eyes were full of joy, and for a moment it was as if he had stepped across a sea of people, and she was the only one who caught his eye.
Ye Sili grinned at Gu Liyou, smiled, and gave him a thumbs up. Gu Liyou understood what Ye Sili was boasting about and smiled at her.
"Ah ah ah, look, the captain actually smiled!" A daughter's family on the street said excitedly to the little sister next to her.
"Yes, yes, I saw it. He looks so handsome when he smiles!" Someone immediately agreed.
"Who is this young captain from? He really suits my taste." A woman with tall twin tails and a cheerful voice asked bluntly.
"Don't you know something? This young captain is the eldest son of Duke Yu, but he is also the 'young general' of our great Zhou Dynasty!"
"You have made such great achievements at such a young age, your future is limitless." A middle-aged woman also joined in.
"Isn't that right? This Mr. Gu is not only talented and handsome, but more importantly, he is not yet married!"
As soon as these words came out, all the women around them laughed shyly and joked with each other. Then they looked up at the heroic man in armor, and their faces turned red, and they quickly covered their faces shyly with their handkerchiefs.
Ye Sili looked at the group of women downstairs opposite, her face changed several times unconsciously, and she asked the two people around her.
"Are they talking about Ayou?"
In late spring and Huanxia, they looked at each other and said honestly: "Yes."
This is only a street away, and the voices of a group of women downstairs are quite loud. They can hear clearly from here. How could the princess not hear it?
Hearing this, Ye Sili's face darkened, turned around and left.
As the army left, the people gradually dispersed, and Ye Sili immediately returned to his house.
Ye Sili hurriedly ran back, only to see Gu Liyou standing at the door waiting for her. Ye Sili was stunned for a moment, then quickened her pace and ran over.
Ye Sili stood in front of Gu Liyou, panting heavily, her eyes always falling on Gu Liyou's face. Gu Liyou was not in a hurry, waiting for her to breathe slowly.
After not seeing each other for several months, Gu Liyou seemed to be taller. His figure was taller and taller, his face was more angular, and his eyes were dark and deep. He looked at Ye Sili as if he was smiling, and the sun in Xu Yue was not.
It's so annoying that Gu Liyou is a little tanned, but Ye Sili knows that his Ayou is still the most beautiful person.
"Ayou."
Ye Sili finally came to his senses and called softly, but he looked at the people in front of him intently, looking a little carefully, as if he didn't believe that they came back without any warning.
"Well, it's me."
Gu Liyou also looked at the person in front of him, the person he had always been worried about.
Ye Sili raised her hand hanging by her side slightly, stopped taking steps in time, and looked at Gu Liyou cautiously.
Gu Liyou noticed Ye Sili's behavior, smiled, took a step forward, and opened his arms.
The rain had not stopped yet, but at this moment, Ye Sili didn't feel that it was winter. Looking at the person in front of her, she happily stepped forward and hugged her...
Early the next morning, Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liyou entered the palace. The emperor discussed their merits and rewarded them in turn. He wanted to promote Ye Zhongyao, but Ye Zhongyao said that Gu Liyou was the most promising young man in this battle, and he himself was old and rarely
He was unable to serve the country but refused to be promoted. The emperor had no choice but to reward him with a bunch of gold, silver and rare things.
After this battle, Gu Liyou's skills were obvious to everyone. The emperor repeatedly praised Ye Zhongyao for raising a pillar of the country, which was incredible, so he made Gu Liyou a third-rank Huaihua general. He wanted to give him another mansion, but
Gu Liyou also insisted:
"The prince is old, and I just want to be by his side to show my filial piety!"
That's all, the emperor waved his hand and gave Gu Liyou a bunch of rare treasures.
In the winter of the seventeenth year of Xining, the Qiang Kingdom attacked the Zhou Dynasty. Prince Ye Zhongyao and his grandson boarded a light chariot to invite the captain Gu Liyou to fight. The battle lasted for more than a month and finally defeated the enemy.
