Chapter 3781: Rebirth of the King’s Favor: Feeding the Wolf (18)

Chapter 3747: Rebirth of the Emperor's Favor: Feeding the Wolf (18)

He was thinking about how to coax the little wolf cub, when the palace servant respectfully handed him a handkerchief: "Wipe it, General."

"Thank you."

The palace servant took a complicated look at the arrogant and noble young general in front of him. The wound on his white forehead caused by the teacup was particularly glaring. He really didn't know what Gu Jingxian was thinking. When he was at his most high-spirited and glorious, he gave up the fame and power that was within his reach and resigned from his post.

He gave up everything so easily, even at the cost of angering the emperor.

No one would do that.

It is difficult for people to give up fame and fortune, and it is even more difficult to give up what they have.

He has lived in the palace for more than 20 years and is considered an old man. He has seen countless rotten changes in power, countless people struggling and then compromising, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Gu Jingxian.

After sending Gu Jingxian to the gate of the palace, he saluted: "Take care, General."

Gu Jingxian took off the purse tied around his waist and gave it to the palace servant. "I dare not take it." The palace maid whispered in panic.

"Take it." Gu Jingxian smiled lightly, and he did not show any disdain for the palace maids who were as humble as dust. His eyebrows and eyes were in the gradually sinking twilight, and his posture was cold and calm: "This may be the last time I enter the palace, all my heart."

"This..." The palace maid knelt down and thanked him respectfully: "Thank you, General Gu."

Gu Jingxian walked out of the palace gate, and the cold wind blew across the dark blue hem of his clothes, and his clothes fluttered, and his back was straight.

He was open and honest.

In this world full of power and interests, it is rare to know the secular world but not to be dirty.

And Gu Jingxian was thinking about how to explain to Ran Bai all the way back.

Not surprisingly,

Ran Bai's face was gloomy when he saw the wound on Gu Jingxian's forehead, and his eyes were full of anger: "Who hit it?"

"I said something inappropriate and offended the emperor. It's just a minor injury."

If he proposed to leave at this time, it would inevitably annoy the emperor. Gu Jingxian had thought about it when he came, and he didn't care.

"Try to say it again, 'It's a minor injury.'" The child's tone was cold, which successfully made Gu Jingxian pause and stop talking.

Ranbai applied medicine to the boy without saying a word. When he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covered his deep eyes. In a few moments, he even thought about how to trample Xijun in the future.

"It really doesn't hurt."

The little wolf cub lifted his chin and kissed him,

betting on Gu Jingxian's next words.

After all, Ranbai was the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion of the Protector of the Country. If she left Dongling for a long time and was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, there might be trouble. Gu Jingxian handled everything as quickly as possible, took the child to play in Xijun, and left Xijun together.

Before leaving,

Ranbai went out silently once at night. That night, Gu Jingxian heard the news that the emperor was assassinated in the imperial study, and his eyebrows jumped.

The palace was heavily guarded, and the child went in like this, and there was no fear that he would not be able to get out!

Ran Bai came back from the window in the middle of the night, blood still on her body, her face was a little pale, but she smiled casually and wickedly, "I taught him a lesson for you, I'll fight you back later."

If she wants to fight or kill her people, only she can do it.

No one else can.

"..." This time it was Gu Jingxian's turn to frown.

The road is long, so hurry up.

What he stepped on is the vast mountains and rivers facing the sun and the moon.

Everything that followed developed according to the original trajectory, but with the variable of Gu Jingxian, Ran Bai was even more frightened when he extended his claws to the battlefield.

It only took a few years.

She went from being an orphan of a criminal to a position above everyone else in Dongling. Her methods were cruel and violent, and everyone feared her.

The King of Southwest had cooperated with Ran Bai for a long time, and he became more and more frightened. He didn't know whether he should be grateful for his cooperation with Ran Bai, but he always felt that the military advisor beside the general didn't seem to be very friendly to him?

If the King of the Southwest knew that the now distinguished God of War had once turned the tables on Gu Jingxian and complained about him, he would probably be so angry that he would spit out blood.

The incident happened suddenly that winter.

It was extremely cold, with wind and snow.

Even on the Lantern Festival, with thousands of lights on, it still couldn't block the cold air that penetrated into the bones.

They had spent every New Year together since they met, and this time was no exception.

The capital was the most prosperous place in the world, especially on the Lantern Festival, when every household was laughing and hanging lanterns. On the endless Chang'an Street, the bright moon and white snow were reflected, the world was covered in silver, and the lights and shadows covered the ground, prosperous like a long dragon.

"What is General Gu thinking about?" The general asked him casually in his wide-sleeved robe, half of his face outlined a bright but dim shadow under the light and shadow.

Gu Jingxian came back to his senses, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyebrows were cold and calm: "Nothing."

"You have been a little absent-minded recently." The little wolf licked his lips, his lips were red and cold, and he meant something.

"I just feel that the war is over now, and the world is prosperous." He said calmly, looking into the distance calmly.

Actually, it's not, he clearly remembers... he met that person in his last life.

On the battlefield.

It was just such a winter.

Gu Jingxian's mind has been getting more and more confused recently. Somehow, there is an inexplicable uneasiness and unspeakable emotions spreading in his heart.

Ran Bai sneered, not knowing whether he believed it or not. His fingertips were entangled with a strand of Gu Jingxian's hair, and the arc of his thin lips was lazy: "What is there to think about."

Gu Jingxian hummed along with Ran Bai's words, and said nothing.

Now she is by his side, it is useless to think too much.

During the Lantern Festival, several lanterns compete with each other, and the lights like glass run through the entire capital.

The enthusiastic shouts of vendors can be heard endlessly, and there are fireworks everywhere.

"Look at the hairpin."

Familiar yet unfamiliar words, a kind and kind old man, red beans full of broken marks... The vague but extremely profound memories passed through the hustle and bustle and fell clearly on my ears. The old scenes hit me like a tide. Come.

Gu Jingxian's figure suddenly froze in place, and he felt a gaze staring at him from behind, with a chill. That kind of gaze passed through the crowd and past the lights, almost making people fall into the deep sea. It was so aggressive that it was impossible to ignore. It only felt full of hostility, without any warmth from the lights.

So familiar.

Ever unforgettable.

I still dare not forget it.

He turned around with no idea of ​​what mood he was in. Even his thoughts were completely blank. He couldn't tell whether he was afraid or expecting something. His back was tense and he looked back in the direction of that gaze.

At the feet of the Emperor, in Chang'an, Kyoto, it is the Lantern Festival. The night is like ink, the stars are like rain, and the prosperity is like a long dragon. The man was tall and tall, with red robes and dark hair. He stood in the dim light and shadow, with an arrogant and quiet air that was most touching.

All the cold and calm surfaces exploded in an instant, were torn to pieces and crushed, and the brain exploded, causing a turbulent wave! The indifference and calmness that I once boasted about collapsed in one moment and one look, and I was completely defeated.

Gu Jingxian had never thought about it.

Reunion again.

It will be at such a time and place without any warning.

Things in the world play tricks on people.

He couldn't even react, just looking at the figure not far away stiffly and blankly.

The man had obviously seen him too.

Behind the emperor were thousands of lights and thousands of trees and flowers blooming, but her body was not stained by any secular fireworks. Instead, a cold and violent aura silently filled the air, igniting the cold and ruthless factor, crushing people's hearts every inch, making people feel sad. It felt like the air had become thinner and I couldn't breathe, which made people around me stay away and not dare to approach.

The hoarse voice spoke one word at a time, and the tone was too deep and cold, as if it had been wiped by the edge of a knife. It was strangely calm, making people unable to hear any emotion, neither light nor heavy, making people feel cold all over.

she says.

"Come here."
