I Really Like That Guy!
Vol 9 Chapter 7:
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Jue still asked what was in his heart: "Your Majesty knows... what does the wild geese represent?"
A Luo's eyes flowed. If anyone was here at this moment, they would be able to see the rare smile on the Empress' face, but there were only the two of them here, and Qin Jue had not dismounted, so she could not see her face.
She had a smile on her face, but her tone was as cold as ever: "What?"
Qin Jue didn't know the expressions of the people behind him. He could only tell from her tone of voice that she probably didn't know the tradition that was widely spread in Jersey.
His brows and eyes drooped slightly, and the thin sweat on his body became icy cold in the cool wind in the spring, taking away the temperature on his body.
"The slave is from Jersey. I have heard a saying among the people of Jersey that the geese are loyal birds, and they only have one partner in their life. If the partner dies, it will die alone. After that, when someone proposed to a woman, Send geese to show loyalty to each other."
"So it is." The female emperor's voice did not fluctuate, and it seemed that she was not moved by that rare bird of loyalty.
Qin Jue pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have no more words to say." After speaking, he neatly turned over and dismounted, his long eyelashes drooped, and his head bowed humbly, "I will go and fetch that goose. "
Arlo could only see his lowered head, the man's jet-black hair was like a crow's feather, tied high in a bun and tied with a dark blue headband, with a few strands of loose hair fluttering in the wind.
He buried his head, and his expression was hidden in the shadows, inexplicably showing a bit of pissed-off taste.
She looked back casually, with a smile hidden in her eyes, and said calmly, "Go."
Qin Jue walked on this field with one foot and one foot, and he felt the gaze from behind him, which was so strong that it was hard for him to ignore it. But this time, he won't be too affectionate.
He didn't know how to describe his mood. He was depressed, lost, and more self-deprecating.
Why does he think he can get special treatment from the Empress? Just based on the punishments over the past few days? On those specious guesses? Or by his face?
Qin Jue knew better than anyone that it was impossible.
Dugu Luo is a wise king. She will not be as greedy for beauty as her father is. What she can see in her eyes is probably only the real powerhouses like her.
Qin Jue's tumultuous heart cooled little by little while walking.
With the distance from her, he seemed to gradually get rid of the source of confusion, and regained his former calm and composure.
He thought he couldn't go on like this.
Every time he approached her, he became chaotic and lost his usual sense of proportion, which completely went against his original intention.
The place where the wild goose landed was not as close as he imagined, and Qin Jue walked for a while before picking up the dying wild goose whose wings had been pierced by a long arrow.
The grass here is soft and clean, and the green grass is covered with small pink-white flowers the size of copper coins. The wind carries the warmth of spring, the fragrance of grass, and the moist smell of soil.
When he walked back to the Empress, Qin Jue had completely recovered.
The Empress also dismounted, and was standing on the open space on the side, looking into the distance.
Qin Jue couldn't see through her, even if he had an excellent mind, he never saw through her thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the wild goose has been brought back, and it is still alive." Qin Jue presented the wild goose in front of the empress.
The woman stood upright, like a long spear, exuding an indestructible temperament.
Her eyes were sharp and fell on the wild goose. Just when Qin Jue suspected that she was going to kill the wild goose on the spot, the empress said slowly, "This is a lonely goose. If you think about it, it should have lost its partner."
Qin Jue raised her eyes in surprise and looked at her.
In fact, when he retrieved it, he also thought of this. The wild goose was injured, and he didn't struggle when he picked it up. It couldn't speak, but he saw an indescribable sadness in its eyes.
The Empress said to him, "Everything has sentient beings. You should keep it. If you can survive, it will be a good thing."
Qin Jue said blankly: "If the wild goose loses its partner, the other one will soon die of depression..."
"It is better to die naturally than to be swallowed by others. Just like a famous general, the best outcome is to die in battle."
The Empress dropped those words, turned her head calmly, and stopped looking at him. She pulled the reins, lifted her foot and sat on the back of the horse, and said condescendingly, "Can I go back by myself?"
Before Qin Jue could answer, she added, "If you can't, you don't need to follow me."
When the words fell, she whipped the whip and the horses galloped, and one person and one horse quickly disappeared behind the distant hills.
Qin Jue thought that this might be a test for him. If it were replaced by any real Jersey war slave, I am afraid that he would take this opportunity to escape the fate of becoming a slave.
He looked down at the wild goose in his hands, its wings folded beside him, and nestled in his palm obediently, without calling.
Qin Jue pursed her lips, followed the direction the Empress left, facing the spring breeze, speeding up her pace and trotting.
The army is not moving very fast, after all, there are too many people, and it can't be fast if you want to. Qin Jue caught up with the large army not long after, and of course was ridiculed again.
However, seeing him come back with a wounded goose, and hearing that the goose was hunted by the Empress, the laughing voices suddenly decreased a lot.
Everyone around the Empress can see that the Empress is not ordinary to Jade slaves.
Although the Empress does not punish her servants, she seldom cares about her servants as much. In the past, there were people around who were not well served, and they were all mercilessly expelled to other places after the first mistake. Such an example?
Even though the Empress punished him often, her tolerance for Yu Nu was beyond imagination.
Is it really because of his face?
I have to say that Yu Nu does have a good face, which is even better than the maid served by the Empress.
He is also very obedient, bowing his knees in front of the Empress, and in the eyes of others, he is simply a spineless little white face.
Although the other attendants were also servile in front of the Empress, they would not admit it, and would only attack this guy who became the Empress' personal attendant by relying on his face and being courteous.
However, in the next period of time, everyone was surprised to find that Yu Nu finally stopped going to the Empress from time to time and was keen to express herself.
He became much more serene, he still practiced gun running every day, followed the Empress beside him, and when he was not needed, he stayed by himself and raised his own geese.
The goose was injured very quickly, and it didn't even recognize it. After being raised for about ten days, it was able to flap its wings and fly at a low altitude.
During this period, the Daxing army arrived at a city on the border of Daxing, where most of the soldiers stopped and stationed here. The Empress led a team of more than a thousand people and her attendants to the capital of Daxing.
There are many cities along the way, and every time you reach a city, countless Daxing people go out to greet them.
Qin Jue saw such a scene for the first time. He remembered that when he was young, he secretly left the palace and walked around the market for a day. Every commoner he saw had a sad look on the face, and that was still in the Jersey Imperial City.
He went up to ask, asked about their pain, asked about their longing, asked them what they thought of the royal family.
How did the people respond? They cursed the emperor for being foolish, cursed the rich and powerful, all they wanted was a stable life, to be able to survive.
Unfortunately, in this world, even living is difficult.
The city where the Empress had lived was completely different from what he had imagined. Those people were not rich, but even in ragged clothes, they all had smiles on their faces.
Just because of where the Empress went, the items that Jersey was compensated for would be distributed.
At that time, the empress asked Jersey to pay a large amount of food and forage. Qin Jue didn't understand why at first, but now he understands that it was such a role.
Fighting to support warfare is also the reason why Daxing has been able to support many years of fighting and become more and more powerful.
On this side, Qin Jue was thinking deeply about the empress's strategy for governing the country. On the other side, A Luo was also thinking about the future development of Daxing. She had not forgotten that she was not only a general, but also an emperor.
Dugu Luo is a hero, but she is not good at governing the country.
She started fighting at the age of fifteen, became an empress at the age of eighteen, and stayed on the battlefield more after that. She is like a fish in water on the battlefield, and like a dragon trapped in the shoal in the courtroom.
After becoming the Empress for five years, she spent three years fighting outside, one year on the way to war, and one year before she became her emperor in the capital.
In the past few years, Daxing has become so powerful because she has won all battles and can grow herself by robbing other countries.
Arlo can see that this is not a long-term solution.
In the end, the war takes a toll on the people and wastes money. Moreover, Daxing soldiers live in the war all the year round, which is not good for physical and mental health, and it is easy to cause the problem of mental exhaustion.
No matter what you do, you need a combination of work and rest, and the same is true for the development of Daxing.
She is Dugu Luo and also A Luo. Dugu Luo is good at fighting, while A Luo is good at governing the country.
The battle is still to be fought. Dugu Luo is full of **** in the world. A Luo has inherited everything from her. Of course, he also has such grand ambitions in his heart.
It's just that she understands the truth of Xu Xutuzhi better than the original Dugu Luo. In the next few years, she plans to let Daxing recuperate for a period of time, develop agricultural business, and train a group of capable subordinates by the way, until the country is prosperous and the people are strong and talents are abundant , is the best time to rule the world.
In this world, after all, the surname will be Dugu.
The soldiers and horses arrived at Rongcheng in Daxing Country smoothly all the way. As the political and cultural center of the country, Rongcheng is rich and lively.
Qin Jue followed the emperor's carriage, looked at the people on the street, and once again felt the gap between Jersey and Daxing.
In other words, the gap between him and the Empress.
Even if he was originally the crown prince of a country, he might be able to become the lord of a country in the future. The gap between him and the Empress is still like an insurmountable moat.
