Chapter 91

After a while, a table full of color, fragrance and dishes was sent up. Lu que couldn't help laughing. All the dishes on this table were ordered by Gu Qingcheng when they had dinner in baizhenlou. Obviously, it should have been ordered by Fu Bo in advance. Along with the dishes, there was also a small jar of Yuanxiang wine. It's just that this jar of Yuanxiang wine is different from what I took when I went to Tingtao lake. The whole jar is carved with white jade. The mud seal has been opened. Although the lid is covered, I can smell the fragrant wine inside.

This white jade jar is not big. You can hold it in one hand. Lu que took the jar to his hand and looked at it. He found a piece of red silk tied to a jade ear beside it. On the red silk was written "the 12th year of Taiwu.". Lu que was surprised to see that, just like emperor Taizu's year name "Shenghuang" and His Majesty's year name "Hongxi", Taiwu was Emperor Wu's year name. The 12th year of Taiwu has been more than 100 years. That is to say, this jar of Yuanxiang wine is actually a jar of 100 years old wine.

"Twelve years of Taiwu." After listening to Lu Xiannian's voice, Gu Qingcheng waved his hand. Lu only felt that his hand slipped, and Gu Qingcheng took the jade altar in his hand“ Is this a hundred year old Yuan Xiang

Gu Qingcheng saw the words on the red silk and exclaimed. Yuanxiang liquor was originally the property of a small family, Yuanjia, which was attached to the eight Marquis's residence. It has a history of hundreds of years. However, during the rebellion of the king of Dongping, the eight Marquis's house was destroyed. Although the yuan family was not involved, it also lost its support. At that time, I don't know how many people in the capital were thinking about the yuan family's liquor making secret recipe.

The yuan family naturally understood the truth of being coveted and cherished. Eager to find a new backer, the yuan family took the initiative to present the family secret recipe to the assistant Princess Yu Chuqing, and became a special restaurant for Baizhen restaurant, which made the secret hands of those who extended to the yuan family shrink back.

Yuan family, which is under the command of Princess Chang, has developed very rapidly in the past ten years. Although Yuanxiang liquor is still not produced much every year due to its technology, Qixia zhenniang, which is named after Princess Chang, is very popular. At this time, it has become the first liquor merchant in Daqian.

Gu Qingcheng, who was born in Dingguo government, had only heard of it, but had never really seen it. Unexpectedly, Lu que took out a jar. Although the jar was not big, it was worth thousands of money at least. It was still a kind of wine with price but no market.

Gu Qingcheng knows that his father drank the hundred year old yuan incense once in the Palace last year. He never forgets that he asked for two thousand taels of gold from Baizhen building, but he was blocked by the smiling shopkeeper of Baizhen building.

"What happened to sister Qingcheng? What's wrong with this wine? " Lu que saw Gu Qingcheng staring at the wine jar for a long time and asked.

"Lu que, can we exchange for other drinks? I want to take this jar of wine home to my father. I don't know if it's ok?" Gu Qingcheng looks at Lu que with a hint of entreaty. She knows it's a bit impolite to do so, but Yuanxiang is too rare in this century. After this village, it's estimated that there won't be this shop.

"What's wrong with this? Since uncle Gu likes it, just take it back." Lu que laughs with indifference. He is not a good drinker, and the first time he drinks is monkey wine made by the monkey in the mountain. So when he comes back to Daqian, he doesn't think Yuanxiang wine is very good, even Yuanxiang is the same.

He asked someone to bring another pot of wine. Gu Qingcheng was not a good drinker either. They both tasted it. But they both ate a lot of food.

The so-called food does not speak, sleep does not speak. After a quiet meal, they went out of the cabin and looked at the brightly lit imperial capital. At this time, the boat has been driving to xihefang, and the sound of exotic musical instruments can be heard from a distance.

"Lu que, now that the Dark Phoenix is gone, the end of the eighteen Marquis's mansion has been decided. I don't know where do you want to go after the imperial examination?" Gu Qingcheng knew that Lu que was not a man of many words. He was usually busy with Zhuge Yan and others. Now only the two of them, standing on such a large boat, seemed too quiet. So he found some topics to talk about.

"Experience?" Lu que thought about it, shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Every year, the University palace of daqianjiu starts classes in early March and takes a big exam at the end of October. In the middle is a four month winter break. The students in the school usually use this time to go out to experience and broaden their knowledge. Or travel in the countryside to observe the situation of the people, in order to verify what they have learned, and prepare for their future work. Or follow the caravan, travel in the surrounding countries, see exotic customs. Or go deep into the desert forest, temper the mind of martial arts, and look for breakthrough opportunities.

It's not a rule of the school to go out for training in winter. But for more than 200 years, the students of all dynasties have done this. It has become a conventional rule, and the students will abide by it silently.

Now there are only two months left before the entrance examination, and then there is the winter vacation. Lu que really didn't think about whether to go out for training this year. He has been suppressing cultivation for four months since he came out of Shanhai painting. It may be the reason why he practices Qiulong boxing every day. His Qi and blood are much stronger than a few months ago, and his control of body strength is also stronger than before.

But his opponent's power control is not as subtle as before. Every few days, he carves some things, such as wood, stone or jade. However, when his work is finished, he can always find some small defects, which are caused by his failure to control the power of his carving knife. He wanted to use this winter, through practicing calligraphy and carving, to master the strength of his hands again, so as to break through the six Fu organs and Twelve Towers according to the method recorded in Yuan Tai Da Tong Sutra.

What Lu did not know was that he was much more proficient in the control of his opponent's strength at this time than before, but when he was penetrating the nine orifices of Gan mu in the magic heart array, his eyesight improved a lot, and naturally he could find some small flaws that he could not find before.

"Sister Qingcheng, what about you? Where do you want to experience? " Lu que looks at Gu Qingcheng and asks.

"This year is my last year in the Academy. I went to the north in the past few years. This year I want to go to the south." Gu Qingcheng's voice is a little melancholy. Unconsciously, she has been in the school for four years, and now it's time to graduate.

Every da Qian student has a special feeling for the life in the school. From entering the school at the age of 15 to leaving after graduation, according to each person's aptitude, or three or five years, or seven or eight years, it represents the most beautiful and carefree period of their life. Fengming academy, three peaks and twelve valleys, has left too many outstanding youth and too many unforgettable things.

"The last year?" Lu que was a little surprised when he heard that there was no reason in his heart. He immediately asked, "where does sister Qingcheng want to go after she left the school, to go to the army or to the countryside?"

Lu knew that, except for those who were determined to pursue martial arts, all the students who graduated from the ninth University palace would be selected by the inner and outer cabinet, either to join politics or the army. Among them, the best students can start from the uncle and manage more than a hundred soldiers. If they enter the imperial court, they can start from the rural prime minister and govern a rural area.

Although it is not without exception, such cases have rarely occurred in the more than 200 years of Daqian. What Lu que knows is bu Shenglian, who was born in the reign of Emperor Wen. She was a poor scholar who went directly to the Ministry of household and became prime minister more than ten years later. Then her mother, Yu Chuqing, took charge of Fengxiang army when she graduated from the Academy. Later, she became a princess assistant in charge of the government.

In addition to these two people, my father Lu Chun and my brother-in-law Yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, both started from my uncle and gradually came to today's position. Although my father had to be favored by the emperor first, the king of Zhongyang was also the crown prince, and his promotion was much faster than others, they made some achievements at the bottom of the army, and others had nothing to say.

With Gu Qingcheng's qualifications, if you want to enter the army after graduation, the twelve armies and twenty-four guards of Daqian will come to rob people. If you are in politics, the townships of Daqian will be chosen by her, but in that case, there may be very few opportunities for them to meet.

"What my father and aunt mean is that they want me to go to Fengxiang army. I don't care. It's OK to go there. At least I'm still in the capital."

"Hoo, that's OK." When Lu que heard that Gu Qingcheng was going to Fengxiang army, he was relieved for no reason.

"How are you doing?" Gu Qingcheng's bright eyes aimed at Lu que. The girl's amorous feelings in those eyes, even Lu Que's heart, had no reason to jump in his heart.

"Nothing" Lu que scratched his head and laughed twice.

"Hum ~" Gu qingchengjiao snorted and looked at a sea dancer dancing with the western region music on a water stage by the river. Gu Qingcheng frowned when she saw the naked clothes and the naked movements of the dancers, and the faces of the men around the stage. He turned his head and looked at Lu que, who was also staring at the dancers. He snorted again. He went to the other side of the boat.

"Is sister Xiang going to leave the school that day?" Lu que also saw the action of the dancers, and naturally knew why Gu Qingcheng pulled him away. Seeing Gu Qingcheng's unswerving face, he changed the topic and said.

"Well, Tianxiang is going to graduate next year, but that happened last year. She should stay in Beijing this winter, and she won't go out again." Gu Qingcheng thought and said.

Lu que Wen Yan nodded. Last year, Princess Tianxiang was attacked in Shanyin county. None of the accompanying Sanwei survived. I was forced into the mountain and almost couldn't get out. Although the incident points to CHIDI in Northern Xinjiang, no matter who believes it, CHIDI is behind the plan. It's better not to go out to ensure safety.

In addition, there are two special legions in the twelve main armies of Daqian. One is the Changqing Legion directly controlled by the emperor. The Emperor himself is the commander of the Changqing army. The other is the Fengxiang army. The marshals of the Fengxiang army in the past dynasties were all royal princesses. The Changqing army and the Fengxiang army were also the two military forces directly controlled by the Daqian royal family.

In Lu que, cousin Yu Tianxiang stayed in the capital in winter, which also means that she is familiar with the affairs of Fengxiang army. Father Lu Chun and mother Yu Chuqing, after reading the Sutra of Datong in Yuan Dynasty, both of their accomplishments have reached the peak of the great calamity. They can break through the gate of human beings and enter into the realm of human beings only by the last Dao Xin calamity.

However, in the past history, there are countless heroes who have blazed a new era, all of whom have fallen into the heart of Taoism. The so-called great calamity is hard to cross, which is why few people want it. Therefore, after returning to Daqian, both father and mother didn't mean to take back the power of the past. Of course, the emperor had been in charge for a long time and was afraid of affecting the balance of the court. What's more, they wanted to get rid of Daqian's bondage and pursue the way to the people.

After graduating from Fengxiang academy, her cousin Yu Tianxiang entered the Fengxiang army and gradually took over the military affairs of Fengxiang. Lu que had expected that her mother would give up the position of commander of Fengxiang army and leave Daqian with her father soon. Now, Gu Jieyun, the deputy commander of Fengxiang, and Su Leyi, the military strategist, are both in their 40s. They are expected to go to the academy to be an old man, or to work in the 36th division of the fourth division of the military Pavilion.

With Yu Tianxiang and Gu Qingcheng entering the Fengxiang army, it marks the departure of his mother Yu Chuqing and two aunts Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi.

"Why did sister Qingcheng go to southern Xinjiang? Is there anything special there? " Although Lu que is very clear about the change of the imperial court, he is not interested in it. He wonders why Qingcheng wants to go to southern Xinjiang for training. If the war is frequent, it has to be counted in Northern Xinjiang. Now Bai Yi, Hou of Wu'an, is still leading the Dragon army to confront the CHIDI people outside the piaoyueguan in order to bring down the national strength of Leimeng. As for Southern Xinjiang, it has not been used for decades.

And Lu que knew that Gu Qingcheng could not want to go to southern Xinjiang for no reason. There must be other reasons.

"My father said that there will be great changes in Tianxing kingdom in the near future. Your majesty is ready to fight against Tianxing, and then Fengxiang army will go south." Gu Qingcheng also had a feeling of not giving up, but she didn't know whether it was because she wanted to leave her parents in the capital or because of the lack of Lu in front of her.

The star king is old and old. Once he dies, there will be chaos in the Star Kingdom. It's the best time for Da Qian to send troops. However, Tianxing and Nanli have been fighting together against Daqian for more than a hundred years. Once Daqian sends troops, Nanli kingdom will never stand by, and it will be a long-lasting war. At this time, there are four legions in southern Xinjiang, namely, benlei, FanFeng, Huxiao and Yulin. Although Fengxiang army will go south and Yulin army will return to Zhendi, they will fight with each other, It's only comparable to the northern Xinjiang war 20 years ago. At that time, I don't know how long it will take and whether I can return to the imperial capital alive.

"Sister Qingcheng, whether she is training or leading, she must take Bai Xia and Dong Ya with her. If something happens, let Dong Ya send a letter to me." Lu que looked at Gu Qingcheng and said seriously.

Gu Qingcheng looks at Lu Que's appearance, his eyes flash a touch, his face shows a bright smile, but he says, "if something can't be solved by myself, what can you do for me?"

"Just because you can't solve it doesn't mean I can't either." Lu que shook his head and said confidently.

"How can you save me if I am besieged by the armies of the two countries?" Gu Qingcheng some funny said.

"In that case, I have a way to save you. Do you believe me?"

Seeing Lu Que's serious expression, Gu Qingcheng wanted to laugh and habitually stretched out two fingers to pinch his cheek. However, seeing Lu Que's firmness in his eyes, a touch of tenderness flashed in his heart. His outstretched hand slowly rubbed Lu Que's cheek and said in a soft voice, "sister Xin, if that happens, I'll ask Dongya to send a letter to you, waiting for you to save me."

Lu que has a smile on his face. As soon as his hands turn, a green leaf appears in Lu Que's hands. He grabs Gu Qingcheng's outstretched hand and puts the leaf in her palm“ This leaf, even if the younger brother gave Qingcheng elder sister's parting gift

"What is this? It's a beautiful leaf. " Gu Qingcheng looked at the leaves in her hand. The green color was like jade, which made her like it very much. Moreover, she felt a sense of tranquility from the leaves.

"This is its leaf." Lu Kui refers to the shadow of green wood in the western sky.

"The leaves of green wood? Is this the leaf of green wood Gu Qingcheng can't help exclaiming that Qingmu is a divine tree and a symbol of Qingmu continent. Qingmu law is the highest law of Qingmu continent. She didn't expect that this beautiful leaf in her hand was actually Qingmu's leaf.

"Southern Xinjiang is a place full of poisonous fog and miasma. If you have it, you don't have to worry about it. If you lead the army, you can put this leaf in the water and let the soldiers drink it, which can alleviate the discomfort caused by the miasma." Lu que closed Gu Qingcheng's hand, let her hold the leaf and said.

"You sent me Dongya, and then asked Baixia to sign a spirit beast contract with me. Now you give me green wood leaves, but I haven't sent you anything." Gu Qingcheng felt the green wood leaves in her hand, and suddenly a sense of peace filled her heart. She didn't know whether it was because of the effect of the green wood leaves or because of Lu que, her words became soft. At this time, Gu Qingcheng was more graceful and tender than the bright and moving.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's appearance, Lu que stayed for a long time, and then reflected, "my Fengming and ruishe are all cleaned up by my sister Qingcheng, and the furnishings inside are all made by you. Besides," Lu que Gang wanted to say that you are still my rumored fiancee, but looking at Gu Qingcheng's eyes, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

"What more?" Gu Qingcheng showed a sly smile in his eyes and asked.

"No, nothing." Lu que shook his head.

Gu Qingcheng laughs and doesn't hold on. "You new students, after this year's exam, the school will organize a camping trip to Yusi lake for three days, so that the students can get familiar with the camp life, but it's nothing to you. As for whether or not to go out for training afterwards, it's all voluntary, and the school won't take care of it. "

"Yusi lake? But what about Wangfu cliff and Changqing River in Yongning County Lu que thought of the book he had read and the map of Da Qian Quan and asked.

"That's it." Then Gu Qingcheng took out a sachet embroidered with Lu Jiafeng's falling Yushan family emblem from his sleeve and handed it to Lu que. Inside is a bracelet made of several pearls I picked in yusihu. I'll give it to you. Then Gu Qingcheng's face showed a touch of moving blush.

Lu que took the sachet, looked at it, and took out a string of bracelets made of twelve thumb sized pearls. The bracelets were shining in the moonlight.
