Chapter 1807 Ugly Afterword 32
Garrison at night.

Qiao Ding was awakened by the sound of the guard knocking on the door.

He came out to open the door in a daze, and heard the guard report to him: "General, Marshal Gu is here."

Qiao Ding was stunned for a moment, then looked at the moon in the sky belatedly: "What time is it?"

"Four watch, ugly time."

Qiao Ding: "..."

While putting on his clothes, Qiao Ding asked again, "Is it the barbarians who are moving again? What did Marshal Gu say?"

The guard said with a complicated expression: "Marshal Gu said that he came to drink with you."

Qiao Ding: "..."

Qiao Ding got dressed and went to the front hall. From a distance, he saw Gu Chao sitting on a stone bench, leaning on a cane beside him, holding a jug and drinking alone.

Qiao Ding walked over and saw Gu Chao's splinted leg first: "What happened to your leg?"

"It's nothing." Gu Chao said casually, and handed the other flagon to Qiao Ding.

Qiao Ding took the pot and sat opposite Gu Chao: "You really came to ask me to drink? I thought it was some kind of secret code."

Gu Chao touched Qiao Ding's with his hip flask, and said, "Cheers."

Qiao Ding: "..."

Qiao Ding has a good temper, or else he would have beaten Gu Chao in the middle of the night.

Qiao Ding didn't drink, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Chao didn't say anything, he drank the flagon with a sullen head, then turned around and called the guard: "Bring another jug."

The guard glanced at his general, and Qiao Ding was not sure if Gu Chao was bewitched, so he nodded and said, "Go and get it." They are old acquaintances, he knows Gu Chao can drink, although his leg is injured, Drinking is bad, but men in the army don't care about that.

"Gu Chao, what's the matter with you?" After a while, the new wine came again, Qiao Ding watched Gu Chao drink endlessly, and finally interrupted him.

Gu Chao wiped the wine stains from his mouth, patted the table, and asked suddenly: "Qiao Ding, do you have a sweetheart?"

Qiao Ding was stunned for a moment before replying, "No."

Gu Chao asked: "Have you ever liked anyone?"

Qiao Ding waved his hand: "The family has given relatives, but I'm in Kunzhou, I haven't seen anyone, but my parents say it's suitable, so let's do it."

Gu Chao frowned: "You want to marry her?"

"Marry."

"You don't like her."

Qiao Ding didn't care: "It's not like this when a family marries a daughter-in-law. If you don't like it at first, you will gradually have feelings after getting married. After having a child, the family will be harmonious and beautiful."

Gu Chao didn't speak.

Qiao Ding guessed where Gu Chao's problem was.

"You have a sweetheart?"

Gu Chao didn't reply, he was silent for a while, and instead asked: "That kid Rong, do you remember? He was in your barracks before."

Whenever Qiao Ding thinks of that girl, his toothaches: "I remember, what's wrong?"

"Let me tell you a secret." Gu Chao said mysteriously, "Boy Rong, it's a woman."

Qiao Ding had a meal first, and after that, the sweat came down.

That time when he went to a meeting of the Northern Xinjiang Army, he saw that Rong Xiaozi, a girl, was ordered to carry corpses and string people's heads. He thought it was inappropriate, so he made a fuss and wanted to bring that girl back. Let it go, he was angry at the time, and wanted to explain to Gu Chao that this brat Rong was a woman, and she couldn't let her do the dirty work, but in the end he didn't have time to say it, and he was pissed off by Gu Chao again, how could Qiao Ding be convinced, He turned his head and left, never mentioning the matter again.

Now that Gu Chao said it suddenly, Qiao Ding was afraid that he would blame him for not reporting it, and deliberately punished him, so he felt guilty all of a sudden.

"Female, female, I, I don't know, I don't know at all!"

Gu Chao didn't doubt Qiao Ding, he took another sip of wine, and murmured to himself: "It's fine if she's an ordinary woman, but she's the princess... she's the princess..."

Qiao Ding heard the sign: "You, don't tell me, you like her?"

Gu Chao put the jug down heavily, not knowing whether he was drunk or angry, he shouted, "So what!"

Qiao Ding's eyes widened immediately: "Gu Chao, don't be impulsive. Such a charming daughter came to our border to play when she had nothing to do. She has to go back sooner or later. The marriage is also with a famous family in the court. If you fall in love with her, you will be the one to suffer."

Gu Chao lowered his head dejectedly: "I know."

Qiao Ding patted him on the shoulder: "It's good that you know, you have a bright future, you can't be confused about this kind of thing, I think you are not too young, why don't you ask Lord Fu Yin to tell you about a relationship, Get married soon, and you won't have these messy thoughts anymore."

Gu Chao didn't say a word, he raised his head and poured down his wine again.

Qiao Ding persuaded him again: "It may be uncomfortable now, but it will be fine after a long time. From ancient times to the present, the most important thing about getting married is that the family is right, and if the family is not right, there must be big problems after getting married. Don't say anything else. When the time comes, you are willing to go back Beijing? Would you like to stay in the county horse mansion, and be an idler who eats the royal rations and lets his daughter-in-law take care of him?"

Gu Chao himself had these worries in his heart, but when Qiao Ding let it go, he lost his temper again: "Am I so useless? Even if I move to Beijing, I can't do anything more?"

Qiao Ding shook his head: "If you want to make a difference, you have to have a position to use. The personnel affairs in Beijing are complicated, and there are intrigues. I'm afraid that you will be sent to a idle job before you have a firm foothold. You will never have a bright future in your life."

The threshold for being an official in the capital is high, not only depends on family background, succession, and achievements, but also on your character, whether you can get along with your superiors, whether you can unite with your subordinates, if you stand in a team, who will you stand with, and if you become the third prince The son-in-law of his son-in-law has automatically become a party of three kings, so whether the emperor is willing, don't look at the emperor's deep love with the third prince's uncle and nephew, if the third prince really reaches out to the Ministry of War, you can see if the emperor is in a hurry.

Of course, you can also go to Zhengemen, but to put it bluntly, although Zhengemen is powerful and manages many aspects, hard work is equal. If you do logistics, you just do odd jobs and run errands. It's an idle job.

If you were a pioneer, you would travel in all directions throughout the year. You have to take care of things in the capital, and you still have to take care of things in other places. You spend less time with your wife and leave more. How is that different from being on the border now?To put it bluntly, working at Zhengemen is easier to die than fighting barbarians in Kunzhou. There are always rules for fighting in wars, but working at Zhengemen, you don’t know when you will be attacked and dismembered.

Qiao Ding has been working hard for Beijing for seven or eight years. Of course, he also knows some shortcuts, that is to test Zhengemen, but his parents have already said that if he wants him to test Zhengemen, they will break away from him and go to the side branch to adopt. When a child is a son, it is as if he has never been born in this life.

Even if Qiao Ding himself died, it is impossible for him to go to Zhengemen, and the personnel situation in Beijing is changing so rapidly. Qiao Ding has something to do with his family, and he has been tossing around for so long. Qiao Ding thought with his toes, and he could guess his ending.

When the time comes, Gu Chao will not regret that he ate himself raw.

What Qiao Ding said, Gu Chao himself knew very well, and it was precisely because of this that he refused Military Doctor Rong so firmly.

Even if he is really capable and can make a fortune in Kyoto, it will be ten years, twenty years later, he joined the army as a young man, fought many battles, and suffered many injuries, some of which still have sequelae. He went to Beijing to survive for 20 years, it is hard to say whether he can live for 20 years.

Qiao Ding asked Gu Chao again: "Does that girl like you?"

Gu Chao was silent for a while, and said: "I like it." If I don't like it, I won't kiss him three times.

Qiao Ding asked, "What does she like about you?"

Gu Chao shook his head, he himself didn't know.

"I guess, I like you for being brave, upright, reliable and brave. If you go to the capital, will these qualities of yours be wiped out by the tedious court battles? Then you think, when the time comes, she will still Do you continue to like you? If you don't, what are you in her eyes?"

Gu Chao clenched his fists.

"If she really likes you, she will definitely prefer you to stay in a place that is suitable for you and can display your talents. If she forces you to go back to Beijing with her, then I really doubt whether she really likes you."

Gu Chao immediately said: "She never forced me." It was only her brother who made the request.

Qiao Ding nodded: "My words may be cruel, but they are all facts. I am your friend, and I don't know that girl well. I must think about you, not her. I just hope you don't suffer. it is good."

Gu Chao fell silent, and started drinking again.

At the same time, Rong Leng and Liu Wei, who had finally finished their tossing, were finally able to talk properly.

Liu Wei looked at the veil above her head, and slowly asked Rong Leng a question: "If we are in a long-distance relationship, do you want me to follow you to the state capital where you are, or do you want you to follow me to the state where I am?" State capital?"

Rong Leng turned his head to look at her, pinched her chin and asked, "It looks like you're not tired yet?" He was still thinking wildly.

Liu Wei immediately turned over, turned her back to him, and said, "I'm tired."

But when Rong Leng closed his eyes, after a while, he heard what his wife said again.

"So, when it comes to dating, you can stay in the same city if you can. Long-distance love is really too difficult."
