Chapter 7 The young general is heroic and heroic

After Lin Qian paid a visit to General Gao, he was playing chess with Gao Wenting in the yard.

Seeing Lin Qian again, even though Gao Wenyan was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help clenching her fists.

She thought carefully last night that Lin Qian was still useful, and it was not a good time to scare him away, otherwise she really wanted to kill him with a sword to avoid future troubles.

She calmed down, and although her expression was calm now, she suppressed her disgust.

The two people in the court were sitting opposite each other. They were both equally bad at chess, but they were going back and forth with each other, playing very energetically.

Seeing Gao Wenyan coming, Lin Qian stood up happily to greet him.

He was fair-skinned and bookish. In the past, Gao Wenyan always liked to laugh at him, saying he was a silly scholar who just stepped out of a storybook.

One time, the two of them went to a teahouse to listen to a book together, and they were talking about stories from Liaozhai, so Gao Wenyan couldn't help but tease him about it again.

He asked: "Isn't that bad?"

"not good."

"why?"

Lin Qian looked at her with confusion.

Gao Wenyan laughed heartlessly: "Because you will always encounter monsters."

After hearing this, he lowered his eyebrows slightly and said bitterly: "I know, Yan'er thinks that I don't have the power to restrain a chicken."

Gao Wenyan's family were all practicing martial arts. Lin Qian often felt regretful that he was just a scholar and was out of tune with them.

She was being stupid and deliberately teasing him, but she didn't expect Lin Qian to interpret it this way.

So she explained: "What's wrong with me? Can I let others protect me? Just hide behind me."

Lin Qian looked at her and smiled stupidly at that time, which was exactly the same as the stupid look he was looking at her now.

She rubbed her brows in annoyance. It was Lin Qian's sincere eyes that deceived everyone in the Gao family and made them enter into an engagement, laying the foundation for their troubles.

This time, she couldn't be fooled again.

"I went to Xinghua Tower yesterday, why didn't I see you?"

Lin Qian's smile froze, with a slight hesitation on his face, but when he saw Gao Wenyan staring straight at him, he finally sighed.

"Early yesterday morning, Prime Minister Chu sent someone to pick me up and take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"A few days ago, didn't I get a job to organize my old registration?"

"He asked me if I was still used to it, and if anyone was making things difficult for me. He asked me to find an ancient book, and I hurried back to the palace to find it for him, so I didn't go to Xinghua Tower."

After saying that, Lin Qian added hesitantly: "I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I didn't want to tell you..."

"Ancient books? What ancient books?" Gao Wenyan asked.

"It's a sutra called "The Sutra of Comprehensive Repentance and Liturgical Repentance."

Lin Qian looked slightly distressed, but it didn't look like he was lying.

"I searched for a day and found several volumes of "The Comprehensive Collection of the Sutra of Enlightenment", but I couldn't find the "Summary of Ritual and Repentance of the Sutra of Enlightenment".

Gao Wenting thought that Lin Qian was so embarrassed by the prime minister because he was close to the Gao family, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

"If it were that easy, Prime Minister Chu wouldn't have to trouble Brother Qian. Just relax and search slowly, and you will always find it."

"I remember that you also have some research on Buddhism. No wonder Prime Minister Chu is looking for you." Gao Wenyan suddenly said.

Lin Qian didn't think so and touched his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Research doesn't count, I just know a thing or two."

Seeing that he couldn't even understand what he was saying, and looked like a stupid scholar, Gao Wenyan's eyes darkened.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the book would turn into a jackal after its birthday.

Sensing that Gao Wenyan's mood was not right today, Lin Qian was about to ask something when he saw Bi Xi coming from outside and said a few words in Gao Wenyan's ear.

Gao Wenyan nodded and said goodbye to them immediately, so Lin Qian had no choice but to give up.

The person sent by Chu Xu came through the back door, but he was also smart. He only asked her to pass the words "came as promised" to her, which saved everyone trouble.

Although Bi Xi is loyal to the Gao family, there are some things that it would be better for fewer people to know.

So Gao Wenyan moved his horse and set off alone.She was absent-minded along the way, her mind filled with things between Chu Xu and Lin Qian.

It turned out that Chu Xu and Lin Qian had been in contact since the day her father came back.

She didn't ask in her previous life, so Lin Qian naturally didn't say anything.

Now I’m helping to find books, but what about in the future?
Gao Wenyan couldn't help but sneer, Lin Qian really found a big tree.

Zhixing led Gao Wenyan on a fast ride, and it took him two-quarters of an hour to reach the outskirts.

Gao Wenyan took a closer look and saw that it was an abandoned school ground, overgrown with weeds, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Chu Xu sat on the reviewing stand, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

The reviewing stand was exposed to the sun and rain and was already dilapidated. Chu Xu just sat there leisurely, still looking indescribably dignified.

Seeing Gao Wenyan coming, he raised his head slightly and squinted his eyes because of the sunlight.

Gao Wenyan was dressed in black and galloping from a distance. He was a man and a horse. He was heroic, confident and calm.

She took off the power fence, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but complain.

"We've given up on power barriers for a long time, why don't you prepare a light show for me?"

The fence was long. She was used to riding horses freely, but she was not used to having an extra restraint.

The shallow exposure can cover her face without affecting her movements, so it is obviously a better choice.

"The young general has a heroic appearance. Even if his face is hidden, who wouldn't be able to recognize the young general?"

Gao Wenyan froze, frowned and said, "Wen Yan is scared! Wen Yan is just a commoner's girl, how dare you make such a statement?"

As she spoke, beads of sweat slid down her face again. Chu Xu took out the handkerchief and handed it to her, speaking softly.

"Don't want to?"

She was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know whether it was because of the veil Chu Xu handed her or because of his words.

She looked at the archery target in the distance indifferently, her voice was very soft, as if she was replying, and she seemed to be talking to herself.

"There is no precedent for a woman to serve as an official in our court."

The touch on her hand was gentle, and it was Chu Xu who put the handkerchief into her hand.

Chu Xu smiled slightly and said, "There will be."

Gao Wenyan realized that he had made a mistake and quickly explained: "The Prime Minister misunderstood, and the daughter of the people thinks that it is good now!"

Xu Shi saw through her politeness, but Chu Xu did not answer her words. Instead, he called Zhixing and asked Chu Ying why she didn't arrive for so long.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a carriage came from far and near.

The sun was scorching in the sky, and Chu Ying had always been afraid of the heat. When she got off the carriage, she asked someone to put a power fence on her head.

She reluctantly walked towards the reviewing stand. She was in a bad mood, but she didn't dare to vent to Chu Xu.

"My roommate is arrogant, please be more patient."

Chu Ying gave a brief salute and said meekly: "Sister Laogao is here."

"Sister, there is no need to be polite. Without further ado, shall we get started?"

After burning the incense, Gao Wenyan realized that something was wrong. This Chu Ying was actually more of a "bastard" than he thought!
She didn't understand, why couldn't she learn how to mount a horse?
I think back then, she was a self-taught person, and she climbed up in a few seconds.

"wrong."

"Come again."

"Don't be afraid."

"is that really so difficult?"

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Chu Ying!"

Chu Ying looked at her pitifully, as if Gao Wenyan was going to cry if she continued to be fierce.

So Gao Wenyan couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know for a moment whether he was not suitable to be a teacher or whether Chu Ying was not suitable for riding a horse.
