Chapter 217: Nothing to Do

After taking the letter from Lu Hong, he glanced at the beautiful font on the envelope, Gao Yuan couldn't help showing excitement in his eyes, with a flick of his wrist, there was a knife as thin as a cicada's wing between his five fingers , cautiously poked into the crack of the seal, and gently cut open the envelope

Seeing Gao Yuan's meticulous movements, both Lu Hong and Wu Kai showed worried expressions on their faces. When Gao Yuan took over the official document earlier, he tore off the seal without hesitation.

The letter was very long, with several pages. Ye Jinger's graceful handwriting was like dancing notes in Gao Yuan's eyes. He couldn't wait to read it line by line.

The charcoal fire in the room was crackling, Lu Hong and Wu Kai were silent, sitting there like clay woodcarvings, the stir-fried wild vegetables on the low table had already cooled down, and a layer of milky white was cast on them. Grease, the wine that was warm in the copper pot is now cold

The first two pages describe the lovesickness after the parting. Looking at the tear stains left on the letter paper, Gao Yuan only felt that his heart ached. Through the lines of tactful and sad sentences, Gao Yuan seemed to see Ye Jinger's independence. In front of the window, staring despondently at the snowflakes flying outside, two lines of tears dripped on the window sill on the thin face, and immediately condensed into a little bit of crystal freezing point

Turning over the first two pages, the handwriting is obviously a bit scribbled. It can be seen that Ye Jing'er's writing speed has accelerated. Between the words, she is full of joy.

Daddy is not as opposed to our marriage as before. In Jicheng, because of that sentence, Daddy has been under great pressure. After the spring, Dayan will go to war with Zhao Guo. Daddy promises that as long as you are in this war excellent performance. If you make a contribution, you can agree to our marriage

Ye Jinger's happiness, through the letter paper, Gao Yuan can also feel Ye Jinger who is simple and ignorant of the world, never thought of it. What kind of malice and traps are contained in this opportunity given by Ye Tiannan!

Carefully folded the letter and put it in the close-fitting purse, Gao Yuan looked at the fire in a trance, among the burning flames seemed to be reflecting Ye Jinger's joyful face at this time. In Ye Jing'er's heart, his elder brother Gao has always been invincible on the battlefield. This opportunity given by his father is simply a piece of cake for Gao Yuan, and it will come again soon. Seeing each other soon, how could Ye Jinger not be happy?

"Gao Yuan, don't be confused!" Wu Kai finally yelled, seeing Gao Yuan's changing expression, Wu Kai instinctively felt that something was wrong. This is an obvious trap, and a normal person would not jump into it, but the problem is. Is Gao Yuan a normal person? Wu Kai sometimes feels that Gao Yuan is really abnormal, at least he is different from ordinary people

Gao Yuan stood up, looked at Lu Hong and Wu Kai, "Uncle, Lao Wu, I want to go out for a walk, I want to be alone for a while." After finishing speaking, regardless of their reactions, he pushed open the door and walked away. out

outside.

Two guards with knives stood upright, and when they saw Gao Yuan coming out, they stepped up to keep up

"Don't follow me!" Gao Yuan waved his hand to them, took big steps, and walked outside

Wu Kai stood up. Running to the door, looking at Gao Yuan's lonely figure walking away, Huo Di turned his head, looked at Lu Hong, and said angrily: "Old Lu, what's the matter with you, you are his uncle, why don't you speak Gao Yuan seriously?" What good will it do you to jump into this trap?"

With a sullen face, Lu Hong put the jug on the low table by the brazier, "Old Wu, the little tiger has grown up, is powerful, strong, has his own thoughts, you think I can still be like before Will he listen to what I say? If this is the case, the Fufeng soldiers would not have come out in force at Juliguan. If he had really listened to me, there would be no such thing as Nanshan intercepting it. Only Gao Yuan himself can see through and want to wear it, otherwise, it will be useless for anyone to persuade him, or even counterproductive."

"Then what are you doing with this letter, pretending to be stupid, you don't know anything, without Ye Jinger's letter, Ye Tiannan's official document is nothing in the eyes of Gao Yuan!" Wu Kai roared angrily

"Why are you yelling?" Lu Hong also became annoyed, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? But is it useful? Who is Ye Tiannan? Since he has this thought, he will definitely find ways to achieve his goal. I will hide it from Ye Tiannan." Jing'er's letter, Ye Tiannan will definitely have other ways to let Gao Yuan know about it. At that time, my purpose of blocking Gao Yuan will not only fail, but will only create suspicion. Old Wu, you spent more time with Gao Yuan than I did. If you want more, can’t you see his changes? Some things can only be decided by him, and it’s not okay for other people to overtake the roe.”

Wu Kai was stunned by Lu Hong's stormy roar, he was stunned for a while, and then he said helplessly: "You are right, Gao Yuan has his own ideas, and he will not be influenced by others at all. He doesn't want to go. People can't force him, if he wants to go, no one can stop him."

Lu Hong sighed heavily, "Gao Yuan will be dragged to death by this Ye Jinger in the end, "Gao Yuan will be dragged to death by Ye Jing'er, so why is he so indifferent to this matter? Within a few steps, there must be fragrant grass, why does a man have to worry about not having a wife?"

"Heroes are sad and beautiful people pass, maybe that's how lofty it is!" Wu Kai snatched the wine jug from Lu Hong's hand, poured a full glass, and drank it down. With red eyes, he looked at Lu Hong, "How about Zhang Taishou? Say? If Prefect Zhang tried his best to stop it, it should be better than us talking, after all, he still counts on Gao Yuan to guard Fufeng Chima for him!"

"The prefect read the official document and didn't say a word, just gave me the things." Lu Hong said sullenly: "The Yulin camp was burned. In a short period of time, the Donghu people have no spare power to launch a large-scale attack on Liaoxi. Small-scale The harassment of the prefect can't shake the foundation of the prefect."

"Are you saying that the prefect doesn't take a position on this matter?" Wu Kai asked

"Yes, just don't take a stand. If Gao Yuan wants to go, he won't stop him. If Gao Yuan doesn't want to go, he won't urge both sides to offend."

"What if Gao Yuan dies?" Wu Kai asked back

"If Gao Yuan dies, what loss will he have?" Lu Hong sneered, "The great thing is to return to the original state. But if Gao Yuan does not die and returns with a reputation, he can reap a lot of money. As you can imagine, in the future Gao Yuan's ability, if he can get out of that war, he must have made many achievements, which will be of great benefit to Liaoxi. He is the commander of the prefect. How could the prefect have no reason to push the boat along with such a profitable matter? ?”

"Retire completely?" Wu Kai sneered and said, "Ye Tiannan has such things on his mind, no matter how much Gao Yuan has done, he will definitely not be able to return to his old ways. Why don't you write a letter to Ye Jing'er and say something to this confused little girl?" Talking about the crookedness in it, let that little girl make a big fuss with Ye Tiannan, maybe it will turn around and make a difference."

"Did you open the door of the Prime Minister's house for me? My letter can be sent to Ye Jing'er casually. I'm afraid that Ye Tiannan will throw it away as trash once he enters the Prime Minister's house?" Lu Hong sneered, "Old Wu, if you care about it, you will be confused, and you are talking nonsense."

"Is there no other way?"

"A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. After receiving this letter, I immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Yi, to see if he could find a way to contact Ye Jing'er and tell her Ye Tiannan's conspiracy, but it just didn't work." The way, the way, Zhang Yi is in Jicheng, although he is the shopkeeper of Xianyun Tower, but if he wants to get in touch with someone at Ye Jinger's level, he really can only depend on his luck and resign himself to fate." Lu Hong shook his head and said

"You did a good job!" Wu Kai jumped up, clapped his hands and said: "As long as there is a chance, I will try it, don't worry about it being too late, the battle between Dayan and Zhao Guo will have to wait until the beginning of next spring. There are still several months to go! Maybe you will be lucky, and even if Gao Yuan is really on the front line, as long as Ye Jinger can get the news during this period, maybe she will have a fight with her father. can also be brought back to life"

"A little hope, but if you don't try, how can you be reconciled?" Lu Hong sighed, "Although I don't have much hope, it's better than no hope at all."

The room was quiet again, and after a moment of silence, Wu Kai walked to the corner of the room, lifted a wine jar, filled the copper pot, and then put the copper pot by the side of the charcoal fire, and said with a wry smile: "We have worked hard here, Gao Yuan But I don’t know what he was thinking. I hope he can figure it out and ignore it at all.”

Lu Hong shook his head, "Forget it, don't think about it anymore, come on, let's have a few drinks, this year, it's going to be hard, I don't want to be too lazy to run around on the road anymore, this year, I'll just rely on your house passed"

"Lu Chao still hasn't come back?"

"A few days ago, I asked someone to bring a letter, and his teacher Li Ru took him all the way from Qin State to Chu State, and he could return there. However, according to Chao'er's tone, the past two years have been difficult. I have benefited a lot, and my knowledge has grown a lot!"

"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." Wu Kai nodded and said, "What's more, Li Ru is with you all the way. Your family is very lucky, and you will surely have great achievements in the future."

A smile finally appeared on Lu Hong's face, "Well, I'm sure, Chao'er acts calmly, unlike Gao Yuan, who always makes me a little worried."

Gao Yuan walked out of the Niulanshan camp all the way, but the sentinels guarding the gate did not dare to stop him, so he could only quietly report to Yan Haibo who was on duty, Yan Haibo became a little anxious when he heard this, and came up from a distance with two guards, watching Looking at Gao Yuan's back, Yan Haibo thought for a while, but in the end there was no past, he just followed him from afar

Inside the camp, the snow has been cleaned up, but outside the camp, the snow is deep enough to reach the ankles. Along the way, a straight mark is left behind

Gao Yuan stopped, stretched his hand into his bosom, touched the long letter with his body temperature and Ye Jinger's tear stains, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth

He sat down cross-legged, sitting in the thick snow and staring into the distance, the few lone stars in the sky were still hanging in the sky, blinking at him

To go or not to go?
