Facing He Lian's second inquiry, Gongsun Xu remained silent for a long while, then shook his head and said: "I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for thinking so highly of me, but I am already engaged, and can only fail to live up to Your Majesty's kindness!"

Zhao Yun looked stunned, he had never heard of Gongsun Xu getting married.

"Already engaged?" He Lian was slightly surprised. He forced a smile and asked, "I wonder which lady has such good fortune?"

Gongsun Xu laughed apologetically: "I only heard my mother mention it twice, said that I have been engaged since I was young, but in the end, whose girl did I not find out?"

That day at Liaodong's Wu Huan Camp, Er Yu suddenly had a match late into the night and even took the initiative to 'get into close contact' with him. At that time, the string at the bottom of Gongsun Xu's heart moved. After that, Er Yu fought with Mo Bingmei in the snow and when Gongsun Xu went up to support him, although he received countless of punches and kicks, he could clearly feel that Er Yu and Mo Bingmei had not moved their hands and feet. When Er Yu and Mo Bingmei had fought, it only proved that the girl was not only extremely beautiful, but also talented and versatile.

How could Gongsun Xu not be moved by such a woman?

But Gongsun Xu did not dare to agree to it! He did not know why Er Yu had such an eye for him, and was a little worried that the other party would have some other motive; Other than that, although Er Yu had revealed her hostility towards the He Lian, he did not know whether what Er Yu had said was true or false. After all, the He Lian and Er Yu were her uncles.

Gongsun Xu did not like matters that were not under his control. Even though he felt extremely regretful in his heart, he clenched his teeth and painfully rejected the offer.

"So that's how it is. This King has been rude." He Lian tried to conceal his embarrassment, but it was obvious from his expression that he was unhappy.

After the unpleasantness of the incident, the feast became uninteresting. Not even an hour had passed, but Julien had already left with the excuse that he could not drink anymore. Before leaving, he invited Gongsun Xu to rest in the palace at night, but after being tactfully rejected by Gongsun Xu, he did not force it and directly brought the maid back to the rear hall.

Er Yu looked deeply into Gongsun Xu's eyes, and revealed a very strange smile towards him, as he left the great hall with light footsteps.

Gongsun Xu watched Er Yu's back figure disappear behind the door, and then stood up and walked outside without saying a word.

Zhao Yun laughed bitterly and shook his head. He wanted to advise him otherwise, but did not know how.

Mo Bingmei frowned and started pondering. Only when Gongsun Xu shouted did she quickly walk out of the hall.

On the way back to the Race Yard Barracks, Zhao Yun wanted to ask Gongsun Xu several times why he refused to connect with his, but when he saw that Gongsun Xu's expression wasn't good, he always kept his words.

As he was walking through the main entrance of the camp, Mo Bingmei suddenly asked the question that Zhao Yun did not dare to ask: "Why are you refusing?"

Gongsun Xu stopped in his tracks, looked at Mo Bingmei with a smile on his face, and did not have any intention of explaining anything.

Mo Bingmei's face slightly flushed. Suddenly, she felt as if her thoughts were seen through by Gongsun Xu, and in order to cover her embarrassment, she snorted coldly and quickly left, leaving Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun with an arrogant back.

"Heh heh." Zhao Yun endured all the way, and at this moment, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

Gongsun Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Yun, and said with a sneer: "I heard that the little wench Hua Chan had a tough temper, and would always leave in a hurry when quarreling with others. This is simply detrimental to the illustrious reputation of the White Horse Camp's number one general! It is said that a great man has three wives and four concubines. How about I discuss this with Godly Doctor Hua and say that Zi Long wants to marry a few concubines? "

"Caw" Zhao Yun's laughter was quickly choked back into his throat, he violently coughed for a while, then quickly fled.

Gongsun Xu looked at Zhao Yun's back, and laughed complacently: "You dare laugh at me? With a flick of his pinky, he healed you! " The laughter grew smaller and smaller until it became a sigh.

Since he was not in a good mood, he had to think of a way to resolve it. Gongsun Xu casually found an excuse to punish a few soldiers to run circles. After that, Gongsun Xu threw all the arrangements to Zhao Yun and Yan Rou, and ignored Guo Jia who intentionally joined in to joke around, returning to the house to get the Gongsun Jia brothers to bring a few pails of hot water, after a simple shower, he lied down on the bed to rest.

Gongsun Xu clearly felt very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep at all. Every now and then, Er Yu's frown and smile flashed across his mind, and his heart felt both sore and sore, as if it was scratched by a cat. He knocked on his forehead a few times, forcing himself to turn his thoughts to the plan this time, he racked his brains to think of some details and quickly tossed Er Yu to the back of his mind.

Zhao Yun and Guo Jia stood under a roof not far away, looking at the room that Gongsun Xu was temporarily staying in in in silence. Not long after, the Gongsun Jia brothers brought a bucket out to pour water. Zhao Yun waved his hand from afar and Gongsun Yi put the bucket down as he ran over.

Zhao Yun asked softly: "What is the Lord doing?"

As if he was a thief, Gongsun Yi turned around and looked back, and said in a low voice, "Young Master is lying on the bed in a daze."

"In a daze" Zhao Yun rubbed his forehead and asked: "Does Brother Feng Xiao have a good plan to let Master cheer up?"

Guo Jia glanced at the palace on the mountain and sighed, "Only young lady Er Yu can quickly pull this king back to his senses!"

Zhao Yun probed: Can you send someone to invite her over?

"You can give it a try! However, if she really comes, I will first ask her a few questions on behalf of my lord before making my plans. "

"Who's more suitable to invite?"

Guo Jia turned his head to look at Gongsun Yi, the meaning self-evident. Other than the Gongsun Jia brothers and Mo Bingmei, the others had never even spoken to Er Yu before, so they naturally could not rashly go forward to invite him. Gongsun Jia didn't know what to say, and since Mo Bingmei and Er Yu were going against each other with equal harshness, only Gongsun Yi was the most suitable candidate.

"This little one will go right away!" Without further ado, Gongsun Yi ran towards the stable.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, then asked: "Brother Feng Xiao, do you want to chat with me?"

"Forget it! I don't want to bring this upon myself. " Guo Jia yawned and walked into the house.

Zhao Yun laughed bitterly, then walked towards Yan Rou who was setting up a guard at the entrance of the army camp.

In a small side hall in the northeast corner of the imperial palace, Er Yu was massaging the shoulder of a woman whose hair had become one half white, and was snickering on the woman's shoulder from time to time. The figure of her face was very similar to Er Yu's, but her skin was very rough, and the wrinkles on her forehead and temples were very clear, making her look more like a little herdsman who worked hard all day rather than a poor noble.

"He refused?" The woman's voice was a little hoarse. She lightly patted the back of Er Yu's hand and smiled: "My daughter is one of the most beautiful girls in the world, yet that brat actually flatly refused. She really isn't an ordinary person!"

"Heh heh." Er Yu chuckled: "I can guarantee that he likes me, but he doesn't dare to trust me!"

"It's much more comfortable, you don't have to squeeze." The woman held down Er Yu's hand, pulled her to sit in front of her, and said respectfully: "If he trusted you this easily, this old one would definitely be very disappointed."

"I can't be wrong!" Er Yu smiled confidently: "When I first saw him, I knew that he would become a person even greater than Tan Shihuai!"

"Even if he becomes the emperor of the Chinese people in the future, you will never become a queen!" The woman smiled and poured a bucket of cold water over the woman

Er Yu shook his head. "He's the man I love, and I hope to help him accomplish great things. As for whether or not he can become the Empress, I don't care!"

"Er Yu, you are so much happier than mother!" The woman sighed and angrily said, "Your damned father has finally done something important for you!"

"Mom, let me tell you something. After hearing it, the hatred you have towards him will lessen!" Er Yu moved closer to the woman's ear and whispered.

"Really?" After the woman heard this, she was shocked. The anger on her face had indeed lessened a bit.

"Absolutely!"

"At least I have some sense of responsibility!" The woman sneered, but her eyes softened.

Er Yu held onto the woman's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, I plan to go look for him tonight, and tell him the truth!"

"Good!" Mother will support you! "Since you truly like a man, you should have a child with him as soon as possible. Only with a child will he love you more!"

Xianbei People was very unrestrained with the relationship between a man and a woman, and would often repay each other with his body whenever he saw them. This was what Er Yu's parents were like back then.

"Miss Er Yu, there's someone outside seeking an audience." The mother and daughter duo were in the midst of their conversation when a maid reported from outside.

"Who wants to see you?" Er Yu was extremely curious.

"He said he's Gongsun Yi, Gongsun Xu's personal bodyguard."

"Why is Gongsun Yi here? "Did something big happen at the track?" Er Yu was shocked, he greeted the lady and ran out.

The woman smiled as she understood. She took out a small, tightly wrapped bag from her bosom. After opening it, she took out a green jade pendant and slowly rubbed it. There were a myriad of emotions in her eyes.

Er Yu ran out of the hall and saw Gongsun Yi pacing back and forth on the corridor. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Why are you here? Did something happen to Gongsun Xu? "

"Greetings to little wife Er Yu." Gongsun Yi bowed first, then said in a low voice: "Sir, nothing has happened. It's just that there's something unusual going on after we returned from the palace.

"What's so abnormal about it?" Er Yu heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

"About this …" Gongsun Yi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still gave a simple answer.

After Er Yu heard this, her smile became wider, and after she managed to stop herself from laughing, she turned around to obtain the permission of the company, and quickly followed Gongsun Yi to the Race Yard Barracks.

By the time they rushed to the barracks, the sky had already darkened. Guo Jia had been waiting for this entire time. When he saw that Er Yu had actually come, he quickly came to greet him.

"Officer Guo, no need to be so courteous!" Er Yu bowed in return like a Chinese woman, and laughed after getting up: "Officer Guo is his most valued advisor, please take care of him in the future."

Guo Jia was slightly startled. Why does this sound like Matriarch?

Er Yu continued to ask: "You want to ask why I'm doing this right?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands: "As expected of the little miss, smart and clever, that's what Jia Qi wanted."

"I'll tell him myself!" Er Yu smiled apologetically, and asked: "Tell me, where is he?"
