Just before Nao Nao set off for Mobei Camp, Gu Xici came to look for him.

Fifteen-year-old Gu Xici is handsome and elegant, with a sense of elegance all over his body. At first glance, he is a student who is loved by his masters. In fact, his talents and learning are among the best among his peers, and he is better than his silent brother Nao Nao.

The two are better than each other.

The Gu family saw that he was doing well in studies, so they hoped that he would take the imperial examination. If he could gain fame, it would be easier for him to find a good marriage in the future. With the power of the Dingguo Palace, even if he was unable to become a high school scholar, he could still find a job for him.

It's a casual position, and if you can be divided in the future, you can support the family.

Seeing Gu Xici, Nao Nuo was surprised and said, "Why are you here again?"

Gu Xici is a frequent visitor to the Princess Protector's Mansion. He has been here frequently recently and even brought a set of soft armor that he got from unknown sources. This soft armor is made with fine craftsmanship and is better than the one made by the Ordnance Department.

The soft armor that comes out is lighter and has better protective effect.

Gu Xici has long been accustomed to the noisy way of talking, and he is not surprised at all: "Tomorrow morning, wait for me at the city gate, and I will go to Mobei with you to join the army."

Nao Nao looked at him in surprise, then looked him up and down, frowning tightly: "You are studying well, why do you suddenly want to join the army? You can't lift your shoulders or lift your hands.

You will feel better if you go there!"

Hearing the concern in his words, Gu Xici smiled gently: "You can bear it, how can I not bear it? When we get there together, we have to take care of each other, right?"

Nao Nao said disgustedly: "Are you sure we are taking care of each other and you are not holding me back?"

Gu Xici said with a good temper: "Second brother, you and the eldest brother have taken care of me a lot over the years, so I think it will be good this time, right? Don't worry, I will try not to hold you back when we get to the military camp."

Nao Nao's frown never relaxed: "What do you want to do? Why do you want to join the army all of a sudden? Mobei seems to be peaceful in the past few years, and no one knows when it will start fighting again. Once the two sides start a war,

, casualties are inevitable.”

Gu Xici stopped smiling and his expression became serious: "Second brother, you are unwilling to be ordinary, and so am I. Rather than taking the imperial examination, I want to fight on the battlefield to protect my family and country like my grandfather."

The old Duke Ding passed away a few years ago due to the recurrence of an old injury. Before he left, he still regretted that he could not produce a general among his grandchildren. At that time, Gu Xici, who had always respected his grandfather, had the idea of ​​joining the army.

This time he learned that Nao Nao was going to join the army at Mobei Camp, and his mind became active. He expressed his intention to join the army to his eldest brother who had inherited the title overnight, but he was strongly opposed by his eldest brother.

He had been persuading his brother these days, but he didn't let go until today. So he couldn't wait to come to the Princess Protector's Mansion and made an agreement with Nao Nao to set off to Mobei early tomorrow morning.

Nao Nao originally thought that Gu Xici thought of joining the army because of his enthusiasm. After listening to his words, his brows gradually relaxed, but there was still a bit of doubt in his eyes: "Since you have already thought about joining the army, why didn't you do it when you were young?

Looking for a martial arts master to practice martial arts? You have wasted so many years in vain!"

Gu Xici said helplessly: "I'm not a martial artist. My grandfather taught me martial arts in my early years, but he was so angry when he saw that I didn't know how to do it that he refused to teach me any more."

Nao Nao didn't know that this was the case, and looked at him for a moment with a look that seemed to hate the iron. "You went to the battlefield like this, weren't you delivering food to the enemy?"

Gu Xici blinked and argued: "On the battlefield, force is not the only way to defeat the enemy. With my intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to find a position as a military advisor."

Nao Nao choked and couldn't say anything to refute.

When they were kids, the three of them played tricks on others, and this guy was really good at tricking people. When they tricked each other, he was tricked more often.

Thinking of this, Nao Nao's face turned ugly: "It's up to you, just don't regret it."

Gu Xici smiled brightly: "I won't regret it."

Nao Nao couldn't do anything to him, so he simply sat down and discussed with him all the details of joining the army.

Gu Xici was born in the Duke of Dingguo. He grew up listening to stories about the battlefield and knew a lot about things in the military camp. The two had an in-depth discussion and agreed to stay under the same commander as much as possible after joining the army.

subordinates, so that they can take care of each other.

Seeing that it was getting late, Nao Nao rudely issued an eviction order: "It's time for you to go. I guess your brother and the others are waiting for you to come home for dinner."

Gu Xici said with a smile: "Don't worry, I told my elder brother before I came here that I would go back later."

Hearing this, his face turned foul again.

At this time, August's cry came from outside: "Second brother, second brother, come and see, you caught a big mouse in vain!"

She just found out that her second brother was going to join the army in the distant Mobei and might not come back for several years. The little girl was so sad that she cried hard and hugged her second brother to prevent him from leaving.

Nao Nao couldn't help it because she was crying, so he personally found a kitten that was just one month old and gave it to her. This kitten was a black cat with not a single hair on its body. If it didn't show up at night, no one could find it.

to it.

August promotes narrowing and deliberately gives it the name Baibai.

But no matter how nice she is to Bai Bai, Bai Bai's favorite is still Qin Xiaoxiao, his great master. As long as he can't be seen, he will definitely be able to find him when he goes to Anyiyuan.

Hearing his little sister's shout, Nao Nao immediately stood up and walked out. Seeing Gu Xici following him, she glared at him angrily.

Gu Xici didn't notice his gaze at all. His eyes had long fallen on Sister August who hurried over with a kitten in her arms holding a mouse in her mouth. A smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

When August saw him, his eyes lit up: "Brother Xi Ci, you are here~"

Gu Xici nodded slightly, walked over and said gently: "Sister August is so amazing, she has only been raised by you for a month and she can catch mice."

The credit for catching the mouse was in vain, but when he said that, it became August's credit.

August knew that Xi Ci's brother was coaxing her, and she was still very happy: "Bai Bai is the most powerful. He stayed at the entrance of the mouse hole for a whole day and night and caught this big mouse. I don't have the patience."

Bai Bai seemed to know that his master was praising him, so he whined twice and bit the big mouse harder.

Nao Nao looked at the rat that was still kicking and squeaking with disgust: "Put Baibai down quickly, there are lice on the rat, don't worry, it will run on you."

When August heard this, he quickly put Baibai down and patted his head: "Just bite it to death. Don't eat it, otherwise your stomach will be full of lice."

Bai Bai ignored her and ran away with the big rat in his mouth. Judging from the direction it ran, it was heading to Anyi Courtyard, so he thought it was going to the big master to claim credit.

August said sadly: "Smelly Baibai, he knows how to please my mother every day, and ignores me."

Gu Xici rubbed her head and coaxed: "Can I find you an obedient kitten?"

August shook his head: "No need, no matter how obedient the cat Xi Ci looks for, he will only listen to my mother in the end."

She doesn’t blame her mother for “cheating” her cats away, she just envies her mother for being loved by cats. However, her mother doesn’t like cats and dogs very much, whether it’s Hu Zi or Bai Bai, she doesn’t like them very much.

They are all indifferent.

Nao Nao couldn't stand it, so he slapped Gu Xici's hand away and pulled the little girl to the other side: "Where's Qi Qi, why aren't I with you?"

August said: "My sister was so greedy that she went to eat Li Ji's soy sauce bone after school."

Qiyue's taste has not changed since she was a child, and she likes to eat all kinds of meat. Li Ji's soy sauce bone is her favorite, and she eats it every three to five times. This soy sauce bone is the best when it is freshly cooked, and she likes it.

From time to time I would go and queue up to buy something, and then come back when I was done eating.

August was still not interested in this kind of meat, and wanted to stay at home for a while longer with her second brother who was about to leave home, so he did not go out with his sister today.

After hearing this, Nao Nao shook his head helplessly: "Supper will be served soon, and she ran out to eat secretly. If her parents knew about it, they would have to blame her."

August giggled: "My parents say that my sister is a puppy and she likes to eat meat and bones. I have been unable to do anything to her for a long time."

Gu Xici smiled and said, "Your sister is a puppy, so aren't you a lamb? You eat everything but meat."

August made a face at him: "I'm much cuter than the lamb!"

Gu Xici laughed loudly and rubbed her head despite the noisy eye-rolling: "Yes, yes, there is no one in the world cuter than Sister August."

August proudly raised her chin to acknowledge the compliment.

But the next moment, when she heard that brother Xici was going to Mobei to join the army with her second brother tomorrow, the little girl lost her smile and grabbed Gu Xici's hand, her eyes were as red as a rabbit: "Brother Xici, why did you suddenly

Are you about to leave?"

Gu Xici also felt uncomfortable and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, it's not like you won't come back after you leave."

August was so sad that she couldn't speak, and her tears kept falling.

Nao Nao glared hard at the culprit who made his sister cry, but had to help him coax him: "With his fragile appearance, it's undecided whether Mobei Camp wants him or not. Maybe he will come back in two months."

Already."

After hearing this in August, he didn't know whether to be happy or to tell his second brother not to say such things to Brother Xi Ci.

She struggled for a while and then said something: "Then it's better not to do it. The second brother and brother Xi Ci can take care of each other when they are together, and they can hold each other and cry together when they are homesick."

Nao Nao and Gu Xici looked at each other, then turned away, thinking at the same time: Holding him together and crying? It's impossible in the next life!

In the evening, after Qin Xiaoxiao persuaded him to stay, Gu Xici shamelessly stayed for dinner.

At the dinner table, everyone knew that he was going to Mobei to join the army, and they cried silently and hopelessly.

After hearing his reasons for joining the army, Qin Xiaoxiao and Princess Huguo felt pity for the child they had watched since childhood, and kept feeding him food, not forgetting to tell Nao Nao to interact with Gu Xici.

Take care and live in harmony.
