Get up early in the morning, feeling refreshed.

Gu Qing stretched out of the house, squinted at the silver-covered scenery, and walked to the front yard with a smile.

No matter how strong a woman is, he can still put her to sleep. Just thinking about it makes him feel amazing.

The servants in the front yard were cleaning, and when they saw Gu Qing coming out, they all saluted and said hello, and also extended their congratulations on the wedding.

Huangfu Sisi appeared out of nowhere, tugged on Gu Qing's sleeve and said quietly: "How did you enjoy yourself last night, Your Majesty?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Comfortable, very comfortable."

Huangfu Sisi blinked curiously and lowered his voice: "Did the prince use all the moves he used on me on Sister Huaiyu?"

Gu Qing said proudly: "She handed over the surrender form with only a drop in the bucket, but how could I let her go? I mustered up all my courage to pursue the poor bandit and kill her until she was defeated..."

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and then rolled her eyes at him: "Your Majesty is both cruel and lewd. I'm afraid Sister Huaiyu didn't expect you to have this side."

Gu Qing groaned and said, "Sister Huaiyu saw it last night, and she said she would tear you to pieces."

Huangfu Sisi was stunned: "Why?"

"She said I learned all these lascivious moves from you, and you taught me bad things..."

Huangfu Sisi was so angry that she punched him bitterly and said, "You are born so bad, do you still need me to teach you? Those lewd moves are obviously yours..."

Unable to speak any further, Huangfu Sisi stamped her feet, turned around and ran away, saying, "I'll explain it to sister."

The warm sun in winter was very difficult, so Gu Qing ordered his servants to set up a straw mat futon and a low table under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, and also ordered the cook to prepare some snacks. Gu Qing basked in the sun while eating breakfast.

As soon as the snacks were finished, Duan Wuji came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the two generals Chang Zhong and Ma Lin have led their soldiers to gather outside Luoyang City and are on standby."

Gu Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, saying, "Where are Shi Siming's rebels?"

"The march will be difficult in winter, and we will probably only reach Jinzhou."

"Where's Sun Jiushi?"

"General Sun led the Sharpshooting Battalion to the north, and then took a detour to cross the Yellow River. Yesterday, news came that the Sharpshooting Battalion had joined forces with General Shen Tian's troops, and the two generals and their officers were stationed far behind the rebels.

"

Gu Qing nodded and said: "I want to personally command this battle... We cannot leave the remnants of the rebels behind. If we cannot eliminate the evil, there will be endless troubles."

"The prince left Chang'an just after his wedding. I'm afraid..."

A voice came from behind: "It doesn't matter, don't delay the important event. My husband must set off immediately, otherwise there will be changes."

Zhang Huaiyu stood behind Gu Qing and gently squeezed his shoulders.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Madam, I understand justice well. I must have smashed five hundred wooden fish in my previous life to marry you."

Zhang Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him and said, "My husband has more and more women, and he has learned to speak human language."

Gu Qing laughed: "Husband and wife are one. If Madam calls me a human being now, I will take you with me."

After a pause, Gu Qing added: "My wife can accompany me when I leave Beijing this time. Let's just say that we are newlyweds on our honeymoon."

"What is a honeymoon?"

"It means that after the newlyweds get married, they leave home and travel around to enhance the relationship between the couple."

Zhang Huaiyu pouted and said, "It must be the husband who is talking nonsense. After getting married, he doesn't live a good life at home and runs around. It doesn't make sense."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Okay, I'm just talking nonsense. Anyway, there has to be a reason. Why don't we tell others that we are going back to Shuzhou to worship our ancestors?"

Having made up his mind, Gu Qing said to Duan Wuji: "Then get ready to go. You can help me write a memorandum and tell the emperor that I will take the princess back to Shuzhou to worship my ancestors. Then we will rush to Luoyang in a light carriage to defeat Shi Siming's rebellion."

Before the army reaches the north bank of the Yellow River, they will be ambushed and wiped out."

Duan Wuji hesitated and said: "Will the emperor notice our intention?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if he wanted to save Shi Siming, he couldn't. Firstly, he had no soldiers in his hands. Secondly, he was already a step too late. The Anxi Army had already assembled in Luoyang and it was too late."

…………

Gu Qing's departure from Chang'an was sudden and low-key.

No one expected that Prince Gu would quietly leave on the second day after his wedding. The reason he gave Li Heng was to take the princess back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

This nonsense reason has little logic and is very insulting. It insults Li Heng's IQ.

As we all know, Gu Qing is an orphan, and his parents are rangers. No one knows the hometown of his parents. Shuzhou is just a temporary residence, not a hometown at all. Worshiping ancestors is even more ridiculous. You don’t even know where your ancestors are buried.

You don't even know how to run around, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?

Gu Qing didn't care. He took this ambush against the rebels very seriously. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a decisive battle. After the rebels were wiped out, it would give other vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty a great shock and political impact.

The impact is of great significance.

They left the city in a low-key manner. Gu Qing and Zhang Huaiyu led their guards and ordered more than two thousand soldiers and horses. After leaving the city, they pretended to go west, pretending to go to Shuzhou to worship their ancestors. After traveling for more than a hundred miles, Gu Qing

He decisively turned south, bypassing Shangzhou and heading straight to Luoyang.

The group of people were all cavalry, and Gu Qing didn't bother to hide his whereabouts. The movement of a troop of troops and horses couldn't be hidden from anyone. Li Heng knew that it was only a matter of time.

After marching for several days, Gu Qing arrived outside Luoyang City.

Looking at the towering city wall of the Eastern Capital, which is no less than that of Chang'an, Gu Qing stood on his horse and looked at it. It is indeed the Eastern Capital, and its prosperity is second only to Chang'an. From a distance, he can see countless merchants, common people and scholars entering and exiting the city gate. There are large hangings on the city gate.

The flag of the Tang Dynasty and the armored soldiers standing with their arms in hand gave the people entering and leaving the city gate a strong sense of security.

Duan Wuji rode up to him. He looked a little embarrassed. After all, he was just a scholar. He was suffering from riding horses for days, and he couldn't care less about his manners and clothes.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to Luoyang City to see General Li Guangbi?"

Gu Qing asked: "Where are Chang Zhong, Ma Lin and the others camping?"

"Thirty miles east of Luoyang City."

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "We won't enter Luoyang City. We will go to the camp to gather the generals to discuss matters and decide on the tactics as soon as possible."

She turned around and glanced at Zhang Huaiyu. Compared to Duan Wuji's embarrassment, Zhang Huaiyu was obviously much better. Before she met Gu Qing, she was used to the life of a ranger living in the open air. It was normal for her to travel for days.

"Are you tired, madam?"

Zhang Huaiyu straightened his hair and said with a smile: "You're not tired, hurry up and go to the camp. Don't miss important events."

Gu Qing felt that it was time to show his high emotional intelligence. He found that his emotional intelligence was completely transformed, so he said softly: "I feel sorry for you when you are exhausted. No matter how big things are, they are not as important as you... Then, the country is stained with blood.

How can such a painting be compared to a little cinnabar between your eyebrows..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Huaiyu's face turned blue, as if... he felt like vomiting? It had only been one night?

Pointing at Gu Qing, Zhang Huaiyu said: "Don't let me hear such nonsense in the future. I'll beat you every time. Don't blame me for not giving you face as a county prince."

Gu Qing was stunned: "The painting style is wrong, aren't you moved? What a beautiful sentence."

"A little cinnabar between a woman's eyebrows is more important than her country?"

"Uh, probably...that's what it means."

Zhang Huaiyu glared at him: "Why have you led the soldiers to fight to the death all these years for? For the cinnabar between a woman's eyebrows?"

Gu Qing blinked, and Duan Wuji finished his attack behind him, sighing: "Your Majesty, what you said is even more stupid than a stupid king. My student, please ask the prince to reflect on himself."

Gu Qing sighed, he finally understood that sweet words to death depend on the person. If he said this to Huangfu Sisi, she would definitely jump up with joy, and then throw herself into his arms like a baby bird in the forest and act coquettishly. But to Huangfu Sisi, she would jump with joy.

If the heroine Zhang Huaiyu says anything, she will only think that she has the potential to be a coward and must correct herself to death.

Gu Qing lowered his head and said feebly: "I was wrong, I did it for justice..."

The answer was not satisfactory. Zhang Huaiyu nodded with satisfaction, but then he remembered something and looked at him suspiciously.

"There is no cinnabar between my eyebrows. Tell me, who is the woman with cinnabar between the eyebrows? Have you met your confidante again? And you are willing to give up your country for her?"

Gu Qing looked up at the sky. Just a few days after getting married, he suddenly had the urge to divorce his wife. What a stupid thing...

…………

After bypassing Luoyang City and still ten miles away from the Anxi Army camp, Chang Zhong got the news from the scouts and sent troops and horses to meet them.

Gu Qing was escorted by the soldiers to the outside of the Anxi Army camp.

Zhang Huaiyu looked at the endless camp, then glanced at Gu Qing, and suddenly realized that after arriving in front of the camp gate, Gu Qing's expression and temperament completely changed.

At this moment, his lips were pursed tightly, his eyes were like swords, his expression was cold and serious, and his whole body exuded a faint aura of chilling, resembling a general who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.

Gu Qing in the military camp was really different from when he was in Chang'an City.

Gu Qing in Chang'an City is like a lazy big boy. He doesn't rush anything and just makes do with it without any ambitions. You can tell at a glance what his state will be like fifty years from now.

And in the Anxi Army camp, he instantly became a general with a hundred thousand troops in his hand, killing decisively and obeying his orders.

Generals Chang Zhong and Ma Lin were already waiting outside the camp gate. Seeing Gu Qing and his party arriving, Chang Zhong and others bowed and saluted.

"Greetings to the prince, and hello to the princess."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "We just got married a few days ago, but it's a pity that you didn't have the wedding wine, so the princess and I sent it to your door ourselves."

Chang Zhong also smiled and said: "The good general and the brothers are also happy with the prince and the princess, and the next war will definitely be a complete victory."
