Chapter 1807

Late night garrison.

Joe must have been woken up by the sound of the guard knocking at the door.

He went out to open the door in a daze and listened to the guard report to him: "general, marshal Gu is here."

Qiao Ding was stupefied for a while, and then saw the moon in the sky: "when?"

"Four changes, ugly time."

Qiao Ding: "..."

Qiao Ding put on his clothes and asked, "what's going on in the barbarian army? What did Marshal Gu say? "

"Marshal Gu said," come to see you for a drink. "

Qiao Ding: "..."

Qiao Ding put on his clothes and went to the front hall. From a distance, he saw Gu Chao sitting on a stone bench, leaning on a crutch beside him. He was drinking alone with a wine pot.

Qiao Ding walks over and sees Gu Chao beating his splint leg first: "what's wrong with your leg?"

"Nothing." Gu Chao casually said something and handed another wine pot to Qiao Ding.

Qiao Ding took the pot and sat across from Gu Chao: "do you really come to me for a drink? I thought it was a code

Gu Chao touched Qiao Ding's with his own wine pot and said, "cheers."

Qiao Ding: "..."

It's good for Joe to keep his temper. Otherwise, he would have beaten Gu Chao in the middle of the night.

"What's the matter with you?" Joe asked, not drinking

Gu Chao didn't say a word. He emptied the wine pot, then turned around and called the guard, "bring another jar."

The guard looked at his general, and Qiao was not sure whether the tide was evil or not. He nodded and said, "take it." All of them are old acquaintances. He knows that Gu Chao can drink. Although his legs are hurt and he doesn't drink well, all the men in the army don't care.

"Gu Chao, what's the matter with you?" After a while, the new wine arrived again. Qiao Ding watched Gu Chao drink it, and finally interrupted him.

Gu Chao wiped the wine stains on his mouth, slapped the table and suddenly asked, "Qiao Ding, do you have a sweetheart?"

Joe was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "No."

Gu Chao asked, "haven't you ever liked anyone?"

Qiao Ding waved his hand: "I've been given a relative at home, but I'm not in Kongzhou. I haven't seen anyone, but my parents say it's right, then it's OK."

Gu Chao frowned: "you want to marry her?"

"Marry."

"You don't like her."

Qiao Ding doesn't care: "it doesn't matter who marries a daughter-in-law. First, they don't like it. When they get married, they will gradually have feelings. If they have children, they will have a family with Meimei."

Gu Chao didn't speak.

Joe must have guessed where Gu Chao's problem was.

"You have a sweetheart?"

Gu Chao didn't return. He was silent for a while. Instead, he asked, "do you remember that Rong boy? They were in your barracks before. "

Qiao Ding thought of the girl's toothache: "remember, what happened?"

"I'll tell you a secret." Gu Chao is mysterious: "Rong boy, it's female."

Jottin had a meal first, and then sweat came down.

He went to a meeting in the northern Xinjiang army to see RongZi, a girl from her family, was asked to carry the body and string her head. He thought it was inappropriate, so he made a scene and wanted to bring the girl back. As a result, the northern Xinjiang Army didn't let her go. He was angry at that time. He wanted to explain to Gu Chao that RongZi was a woman and couldn't let her do dirty work. But he was given by Gu Chao again before he could say it I'm sorry, Joe can't be convinced. He turned around and left. He won't mention it again.

Now Gu Chao suddenly said that Joe must be afraid that he would blame himself for his unrequited feelings. He purposely corrected him, and suddenly he was guilty.

"Woman, woman, I, I don't know, not at all!"

Gu Chao didn't doubt Qiao Ding. He took another sip of wine and murmured to himself, "if only an ordinary woman, it's the princess It must be the princess... "

"You, don't tell me, do you like her?" said Jo

Gu Chao put the wine pot heavily. He didn't know whether it was drunk or angry. He shouted, "so what!"

Qiao Ding immediately widened his eyes: "Gu Chao, don't be impulsive. Such a charming girl comes to our border to play when she has nothing to do. She will have to go back sooner or later. Marriage is also a marriage with a famous noble in the dynasty. If you love her, you are the one who suffers."

Gu Chao lowered his head: "I know."

Qiao Ding patted him on the shoulder: "you know, you have a promising future. You can't be confused about this kind of thing. I think you're not young. Why don't you ask Lord Fuyin to tell you about your family? You'll soon become a family, and you won't have these confused thoughts any more."

Gu Chao didn't say a word. He looked up and poured wine.

Qiao Ding advised him again: "it may be hard now, but it's nothing after a long time. In the past and the present, what we pay attention to when we get married is that the door is right and the door is not. After we get married, there must be a big problem. Let alone anything else. Would you like to go back to Beijing at that time?"? Would you like to stay in Junma's mansion and be an idle man who eats royal food and lets his daughter-in-law raise him? "

Gu Chao had these concerns in his mind, but Qiao Ding broke them. He lost his temper again: "I'm useless? Even if Beijing moves, I can't do it again? "Qiao Ding shook his head: "if you want to do something, you have to play a role. The personnel in Beijing are complex and intriguing. I'm afraid that you will be sent to do an idle job before you have a foothold. You'll never make it in your whole life."

The threshold of a Beijing official is high. It depends not only on your family background, your teachers, your merits, but also on your personality, your harmony with the top, your solidarity with your subordinates. If you stand in line, who will you follow? If you become the son-in-law of the third prince and become the third King party automatically, will the emperor? Don't look at the deep love between the emperor and his uncle and nephew. If the third prince really extends his hand to the Ministry of war, you See if the emperor is in a hurry.

Of course, you can go to zhengemen, but it's hard to listen to what you say. Although zhengemen has a large force and a lot of management, it's also equivalent to hard work. If you do logistics, it's just like doing errands and running errands. It's also idle work.

If you are a pioneer, you will be running all over the country all year round. You should be in charge of things in Beijing, and you should be in charge of things in other places. How is it different from being at the border now? It's hard to say. It's easier to die in zhengemen than in Kongzhou. There's always a rule to fight against. But when you're on duty in zhengemen, you don't know when you're attacked and divided.

Qiao Ding has been working hard for seven or eight years to move to Beijing. Of course, he also knows some shortcuts, that is, kaozhengmen. But his parents said that if he wanted to go to kaozhengmen, he would be divorced from him. He would take over a child as a son in the side branch, as if he had never been born in his life.

It's impossible for Qiao Ding to go to kaozhengemen even if he's dead, and the personnel in Beijing are changing so fast. Qiao Ding's family has something to do with it. He's been struggling for so long. If Gu Chao, who has no identity and doesn't care, moves to Qingjing, Qiao Ding can guess his ending with his toes.

At that time, Gu Chao will not regret that he ate himself raw.

Qiao Ding said these things, Gu Chao himself is very clear, it is because of the clear, he refused to allow the military doctor refused so sure.

Even if he really has the ability to make a breakthrough in Kyoto, it will be ten years. Twenty years later, he joined the army as a young man, fought many wars and suffered many injuries. Some of the injuries still have sequelae. It's hard to say whether he can live for twenty years if he wants to stay in Beijing for twenty years.

Qiao Ding asks Gu Chao again: "does that wench like you?"

Gu Chao was silent for a while and said, "like it." I don't like it. I won't kiss him three times.

"What does she like about you?" Qiao asked

Gu Chao shakes his head. He doesn't know.

"I guess it should be that I like your bravery, integrity, reliability and bravery. If I go to Kyoto, will these characteristics of you be consumed by the tedious court fight? Do you think she will continue to like you then? If you don't like it, what do you become in her eyes? "

Gu Chao clenched his fist.

"If she really likes you, she will prefer you to stay in the right place for you and to show your talents. If she forces you to come back to Beijing with her, I really doubt whether she really likes you or not."

Gu Chao immediately said, "she didn't force me." It's just her brother who made the request.

Joe nodded: "my words may be cruel, but it's all true. I'm your friend. I'm not familiar with that girl. I must think for you, not for her. I just hope you don't suffer losses."

Gu Chao stopped talking and began to pour wine again.

At the same time, Rong Ling and Liu Wei, who have finally finished their tossing, are finally able to speak well.

Liu Wei looks at the veil above her head and slowly asks Rong Ling a question: "if we are in a long-distance relationship, would you like me to follow you to your state capital, or would you like me to follow you to my state capital?"

Rong Leng looks at her, pinches her chin and asks, "it seems that you are not tired yet?" And I'm in a state of mind.

Liu Wei turned over at once, with her back to him, and said, "I'm tired."

But wait for Rong Leng to close his eyes, and after a while, listen to his inner wife.

"So it's very difficult to fall in love with each other in the same city. Long distance love is really too difficult."
