At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 103
The next morning, when everyone got out of the tent, they felt the cold wind blowing on their faces, and the cold pierced through their bones. What they saw was white, and they thought it was snowing. , the water bag was frozen hard, the water inside was frozen, and everyone breathed into fog.

At this time, the sun was rising in the east, the sun was shining, the sky and the earth were vast and frosty, and it was indescribably magnificent.

However, the scenery in front of me is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. Gao Shiheng knocked on the water bag that was as hard as a stone and lamented: "It's over, the water can't be drunk, and the firewood can't be burned. What's the trouble with the old world?" , if you have the guts, it will snow directly, and if you dare to snow, I will eat it!"

"Shut your crow's mouth, be careful if it really snows and turn you into a turtle." Gao Shixiong scolded.

"I've become a turtle grandson, brother, haven't you also become a turtle grandson?" Gao Shiheng retorted, licking his lips that were cracked by the frosty wind.

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "Come on, bear with it for a while, the water will melt when the sun comes out, everyone pack up and get ready to go."

At this time, the Sui soldiers were also packing up, and they probably would soon set up their camps. Seeing this, Gao Shixiong brothers hurriedly packed up their things, but they didn't have time to continue bickering.

After about half a stick of incense, the thousand Sui soldiers packed up, packed all their belongings on their horses, and lined up ready to go. The whole process was quick and orderly, without much noise.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan couldn't help nodding secretly. From this, it can be seen that this Luo Yi is indeed very good at running the army, and it is not only due to the shadow of his ancestors that he was able to get to his current position in his twenties.

"Guanshi Cui, Brother Gao, what did you think about last night?" Luo Yi, who was dressed in a suit, walked over hurriedly and asked.

Cui Hu smiled and said: "As Governor Luo said, since I have the honor to personally celebrate Ke Dun's birthday, how can we miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention buying a Khitan stallion along the way, killing two birds with one stone, why not for!"

Hearing this, Luo Yi laughed and said: "Great, with the help of brother Gao and Guanshi Cui, this general is really like a tiger with wings added, it's not too late, then let's go, let's go back to Liucheng to rest for two days, Guanshi Cui and brother Gao It also happens to take advantage of these two days to prepare a birthday gift for Ke Dun."

"How far is the alliance tent of the Khitan people from Liucheng? Can we make it in time?" Gao Bufan asked.

Luo Yi gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Gao is indeed cautious. In fact, the Khitan people's tent is just south of the Tuhe River, only four hundred miles away from Liucheng. If cavalry can reach it in one day, even if it is a carriage, it will not take three." Hey, Ke Dun's birthday is on the twelfth day of the winter moon, and there are still ten days left, so there is enough time, Brother Gao doesn't have to worry..."

Luo Yi paused when he said this, his gaze involuntarily looked in another direction, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Gao Bufan followed Luo Yi's gaze, and saw Gongsun Yingxiu and the maid's sword coming. The former had already changed into a Hu suit, with a slender waist and shoulders cut like knives; She wears a furry silver fox shawl, and her skin looks even more frosty and snowy, torn by blowing and playing; her long black hair is tied into a bun, and a string of beads is tied on her forehead, which is indescribably bright and moving. .

Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly marveled, the frosty wind blew on his face and made it dry, but Gongsun Yingxiu's face was tender, white and flushed, what kind of skin care products did he use?The moisturizing function is really good.

Feeling the astonishing gazes cast by the crowd, the maidservant could not help but feel proud of her sword. She has seen a lot of men, and there are not many who are not lewd. Look at that kid Gao Changqing, he is straight-eyed. He pretended to reject the girl last night. As for the invitation, it was clearly a trick to get caught!

Gao Bufan is really wronged, as the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty, but now he is looking at Gongsun Yingxiu purely with admiring eyes, how can he see it straight?

"Good morning, everyone!" Gongsun Yingxiu walked up to her and saluted Yingying, her voice was as pleasant as the dingdong of spring water.

"Good morning, everyone, Gongsun!" Everyone hurriedly returned their greetings.

Gongsun Yingxiu smiled and asked: "Dare to ask Governor Luo, are you going to leave?"

Luo Yi smiled and said: "If everyone is ready, Gongsun, you can leave at any time. Oh yes, Cui Guanshi and Gao Changqing will go to Khitan with us to celebrate Ke Dun's birthday."

A gleam of joy flashed in Gongsun Yingxiu's beautiful eyes and said: "That's great, my family is regretting that I don't have time to ask Mr. Gao for advice. Since we are on the same road, it would be great."

Gongsun Yingxiu was originally beautiful, her frown and smile were picturesque and moving, and now her pretty appearance with happy eyes made people's heart throbbing, Luo Yi couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart, and he was also a little jealous, pretending to be surprised Ran asked: "What do you, Gongsun, want to ask Brother Gao for? Does Brother Gao have other unknown skills?"

Gongsun Yingxiu sighed and said: "Dujun Luo doesn't know something. Mr. Gao is not only excellent in martial arts and archery, but also full of poetry. It's a pity that I don't have enough talent and learning to write a good birthday poem. Last night, I planned to ask Mr. Gao for a poem. Unexpectedly, this lowly maid, who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, even used a sword to test Mr. Gao's martial arts, which annoyed Mr. Gao Come on, lowly maidservant, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Gao!"

Saber lowered his head and gave a salute, and said pitifully: "Miss punished the servant girl to stand outside the tent all night, Mr. Gao, please forgive the servant girl?"

Saber has a sweet appearance, and he put on a pitiful look at this time, which is quite able to win people's sympathy. Everyone subconsciously looked at Gao Bufan, as if the latter would be a villain if he refused to forgive.

Gao Bufan was a little speechless. Dare Gongsun Yingxiu invited him last night because he wanted to ask him for a birthday poem. Now that he said it in public, he was probably afraid that he might have misunderstood her intentions. He smiled lightly and said, "It's a small matter. Already forgot!"

Gongsun Yingxiu said happily: "Thank you Mr. Gao for your generosity. Can you please ask Mr. Gao about the birthday speech? My family will definitely repay you!"

Gao Bufan quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't know how to make birthday speeches, so everyone, Gongsun, please invite someone else!"

Gongsun Yingxiu was stunned for a moment, apparently she didn't expect Gao Bufan to refuse so directly, without any face, this was a strange thing she had never encountered before.

Luo Yi is both jealous and funny, Gao Changqing really doesn't know how to write birthday poems, or is he too young to comprehend style?If I can write birthday poems, let alone one, I will agree to her ten poems and one hundred poems.

Gongsun Yingxiu bit her cherry lips in embarrassment: "Mr. Gao is too modest, and he can write such a masterpiece as "Ask the Wine to the Moon", which is just a mere longevity poem."

Gao Bufan said without changing his face: "I'm not very talented, I happened to be inspired that day, it's just that a blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, and now I'm asking you to compose a song, it's really hard to beat, so I'm sorry, I really can't help you busy."
