Chapter 1810 Chou Chou Postscript 35
Summer is passing in a flash, and autumn is coming in October.
At that time, the barbarian army was a little ready to move and was sneaky.
The Northern Xinjiang Army followed the rules and began to argue with them again, using swords and guns from time to time to spy on each other.
But this time the weather for the barbarian army was not as good as at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the year, the barbarian army suffered a huge setback, suffered a lot of losses, and lost a lot of people. It would be too difficult for them to gather supplies and regroup within half a year.
This time the barbarian army only had a small number of troops, and they mainly harassed the people in the border towns and grabbed some things.
The Northern Xinjiang Army dealt with them like chickens, without any worries.
If there is no military pressure, the soldiers will be unable to help but put their minds on other places.
For example, which village lady recently gave their marshal a handkerchief?
Whose daughter-in-law came to the military camp to inquire about the population of their marshal's family?
Anyway, there is endless gossip, but rumors will always become more and more crooked.
At first, others were interested in the marshal, but later it turned out that the marshal had a bad life style and kept away from girls and wives, making others jealous because of him.
When Qiao Ding came to the Northern Xinjiang Army for a meeting, he heard this rumor and immediately laughed: "Hahahahahahahaha!"
He laughed for too long. Gu Chao was upset and yelled at him, "Do you deserve a beating?"
Qiao Ding managed to suppress his expression, looked Gu Chao up and down, and said, "I can't tell, Marshal Gu, he is very charming."
Gu Chao was worried: "What will you do if A Ye finds out what you said?"
Qiao Ding snorted: "Then Nizi is not here, how could she possibly know."
Gu Chao shook his head: "You don't understand, her carrier pigeon..."
"Will her homing pigeon still sue?" Qiao Dingyou taught him a lesson: "Gu Chao, you have some potential. You haven't even got a wife yet, so you don't have any dignity. You are a man, you can't be used to this. woman!"
Gu Chao glared at Qiao Ding: "It's not your family's business, but you are making sarcastic remarks!"
Qiao Ding snorted: "Even if it's my family's business, I still say this, it's just a woman, how can she change the world?"
Gu Chao stood up and kicked Qiao Ding out.
Qiao Ding held the door tightly and said angrily: "Why are you pushing me!"
"Keep a distance from you and pretend I don't know you."
Qiao Ding clicked his tongue fiercely: "Gu Chao, you are really like a grandson!"
After all, Gu Chao didn't really drive Qiao Ding away. He sat down again and held Qiao Ding's hand affectionately.
Qiao Ding waved his hand away in disgust and sneered: "You can change your attitude so quickly. Can I ask for help?"
Gu Chao said: "I see that the barbarian army is out of control. They are committing petty thefts and it is not dangerous to expel them. How about this. Our vanguard army will withdraw first, and your barracks will make up for it. For now, you will be the only barracks stationed at the border. Shou."
It stands to reason that whether it is the Northern Xinjiang Army or the garrison camp, if it quells the chaos, it will be meritorious. Now the barbarian army is making a small fuss. At this time, the Northern Xinjiang Army has to control the border. The barbarian army has retreated. This The medal of merit is on Gu Chao's head, but if he is stationed at the barracks to manage the border, the one who adds merit later will be Qiao Ding.
The garrison camp was composed of soldiers from Kongzhou City. The Northern Xinjiang Army had always eaten the fat meat of the barbarian army. Qiao Ding did not expect that Gu Chao would take the initiative to bring such a good thing to him. He asked: "What should you do?" You're not trying to evacuate to avoid those women, are you? Gu Chao, you don't distinguish between public and private matters."
Gu Chao shook his head and said, "I'm going to Beijing next month."
Qiao Ding raised his eyebrows.
Gu Chao blushed: "I have three and a half months of leave."
Soldiers also have holidays, but Gu Chao has no family. His biological parents have stopped contacting him for a long time, and his adoptive parents hope that he will never show up again. Gu Chao naturally does not need a holiday. After saving up for several years, he can put together this holiday. If he can spare three and a half months, he has already applied and will spend it together during the Chinese New Year this year.
He handed the document to the governor of Kongzhou, who helped him return to the capital. Now he just waited for the reply from Kyoto, and after the documents were handed over, he could leave directly. Today Gu Chao called Qiao Ding I came to the meeting to talk about this matter.
Qiao Ding had not thought that Gu Chao would have such courage: "We have only communicated with each other for two months, and we are about to go to Beijing. Are you ready to go to Beijing to get beaten?"
Gu Chao said: "Don't talk nonsense, the third prince is a reasonable person."
Qiao Ding: "Didn't your legs get better last month?"
Gu Chao added: "Aye said that during the Chinese New Year, there will be a lantern festival in Kyoto."
"So you went to watch the lantern festival with her?" Qiao Ding said in disbelief: "Are you crazy about marrying a wife? You don't care about business, but you go to watch the lantern festival?"
"That's not the case." Gu Chao explained: "On the day of the lantern festival, there will be a big operation at the Zhenge Gate. She mentioned it to me. I don't know the specific details, but since it is a big operation, it must be very dangerous. I am not worried. I want to go and see it, but she doesn’t know yet, so don’t tell her, she will definitely not let me go if she finds out.”
Qiao Ding pouted: "I'm not familiar with her, where can I tell her?"
Gu Chao couldn't help but smile again: "I don't know if she is happy to see me."
"I feel unhappy." Qiao Ding was forced to eat dog food, so she poured cold water on him: "She may still be angry with you. Forget it if she doesn't see the person, but when she sees the person, the anger comes up again."
Gu Chao suddenly became worried: "Really?"
Qiao Ding didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Gu Chao saw that Qiao Ding was teasing him and breathed a sigh of relief: "No, she is not a stingy person."
Qiao Ding was too lazy to pay attention to him. This man was hopeless.
The next days are the handover between the two sides. The Northern Xinjiang Army has been guarding the border. To be honest, it is quite tiring. While the marshal is chasing his wife this time, the Northern Xinjiang Army can also have a holiday and have a good year. For a while, There is an endless stream of people from the Northern Xinjiang Army asking for leave, all wanting to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go back and reunite with their families.
The garrison camp is not so comfortable this time. In the past, the garrison camp could go home during the New Year holidays. This time, they were forced to work overtime during the New Year. They were quite unwilling to do so, but the military orders were like mountains and the generals had set them, so they also There was no need to hide. The barbarian army simply had no morale this time, so they were able to defend easily.
When the confirmation documents from Kyoto came out in November, Gu Chao could take a vacation. He left that afternoon and went directly to Beijing.
Qiao Ding didn't even have time to give him a try. Qiao Ding also prepared a list. He wanted Gu Chao to go to Beijing to do the shopping for him this time, but Gu Chao ran faster than a rabbit.
In mid-November, Gu Chao arrived in Kyoto as he wished.
It had been almost seven or eight years since he last came to Beijing. Gu Chao felt a little emotional when he looked at the streets and alleys, which looked very different from what he remembered.
He first settled in an inn, and then followed the rules and went to his adoptive parents' home to give him New Year's gifts. His adoptive parents didn't welcome him, and his brothers and sisters didn't even know him. Just leave after doing your duty.
After that, Gu Chao went to the Yue Kingdom Marquis Mansion. Yan Zhenli was now older and had already become an official. However, because he had a title, he still settled in Kyoto. Yan Zhenli was still very strong. He was very happy to see Gu Chaolai and pulled him along. Ask him about what happened in Kongzhou, and make gestures with him.
Gu Chao honestly reminisced with his mentor. During dinner, the Marquis of Yue State suggested: "Since you have come to Beijing, don't stay in the inn. If you have room at home, come and stay at home."
Just as Gu Chao was about to refuse, he saw the smiling junior brother Yan Qiu at the dining table and suddenly said: "Senior Brother Gu, you don't want to come to live at home because it's inconvenient because there are so many people. Will it delay your love?"
Gu Chao's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at his junior brother in disbelief.
Yan Qiu was still smiling, his eyes as round as the moon: "Brother Gu, is our Aye's mouth sweet?"
