Chapter 118
The porridge was already cold, and Gongsun Qing had no intention of eating it.

The absurd dream he had just now made him still have lingering fears at this moment.

That dream was too real.

The truth made him suddenly have the idea of ​​'if it is true, that would be great'.

Just this thought made him feel flustered.

For so many years, he had never had such a thought, not even once.

Even at this age, he never thought about marriage.

It's just because he has already known his own destiny, and he is not willing to let anyone fall into deep pain because of him.

Distraught, he decided to go outside for some air.

He had been busy leading the army before, so he didn't care about other things at all.

Now that the war has subsided, it actually gave me some thoughts that I shouldn't have.

Stepping out of the tent, the cold air made him gradually wake up.

"We'll be home in two days, and I can't sleep at the thought of going home."

"Me too, my daughter-in-law has been married to the family for less than a year, and I have come out to fight. I haven't heard from them for such a long time, so they must be worried. When I go home, I will sneak back and scare them!"

"Haha, you kid has a lot of tricks, so you are not afraid that when you go home, there will be another man next to your wife, and there will be no place for you to cry when the time comes!"

"Hahaha……"

The soldiers who went to the battlefield with him, except those who were on duty, were drinking Laba porridge and sitting around the campfire chatting.

Seeing them talking and laughing in high spirits, Gongsun Qing couldn't help being curious. He just wanted to walk over to have a chat with them, but found that after seeing Gongsun Qing coming out, they all stopped talking and got up one after another to meet the general. grown ups.

The original laughter and laughter stopped abruptly after he came out.

Although this was not Gongsun Qing's original intention, after all, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he would not be able to blend in with this crowd no matter what.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Gongsun Qing felt that he had become the chief culprit of destroying the atmosphere.

He didn't speak, nodded, turned and walked to the other side.

When he arrived at the stable, the war horse that had been with him all the time, saw his old partner neighing excitedly.

Only then did Gongsun Qing show a long-lost smile, reached out and grabbed a handful of grass and threw it into the stable.

This horse is called Zhanxue, and it has been by Gongsun Qing's side since it was a foal.

For so many years, the only friend God of War who has been in a high position can trust and confide in is this horse.

While stroking the horse's head, he watched it eat up the hay in the stable.

"Want to go out for a walk?"

He lowered his head and asked.

Zhan Xue nodded, as if he understood what he said.

Gongsun Qing smiled, took the saddle off its back, and led it out of the stable.

One person and one horse, walking on the endless grassland.

The moonlight fell, shining on the grassland like a snowfall.

Gongsun Qing was sitting on the grass, while Zhan Xue was standing not far from him grazing with his head bowed.

Looking at the bright moonlight, Gongsun Qing remembered the dream just now.

He couldn't help but wonder, if he was neither a prince nor a general, but just a child of a certain farm family in the field, would he be able to work like in his dream, farming the mulberry field and eating three meals a day?
Forget it, it's just delusional.

For some reason, he actually started to become a little sentimental.

Sure enough, the existence of such things as love is just to increase troubles.

"You are here."

Behind him, the lieutenant's voice came.

Gongsun Qing didn't look back.

He knew that the lieutenant had come to look for him specially.

Standing beside Gongsun Qing, the deputy general hesitated for a moment, then sat down.

He also looked at the moon in the sky like Gongsun Qing, and chatted with Gongsun Qing like a friend: "It seems that you have something on your mind?"

This deputy general has been with him for many years, and was single-handedly promoted by Gongsun Qing.

Although the two cannot be said to be close friends, compared to other generals, they are relatively close.

It's just that he, like Gongsun Qing, is not good at words.

However, today he took the initiative to come to find Gongsun Qing uncharacteristically, which surprised him a bit.

"Why do you ask that?" Gongsun Qing asked.

The lieutenant general smiled: "It's just that you came out of the tent today, and you seem to have something on your mind. I'm a little worried and come over to have a look."

"It's really strange." Gongsun Qing curled his lips.

Then he lay down on the grass.

The lieutenant also followed Gongsun Qing's appearance and lay on the grass with his hands folded behind his head.

The wind is a little cool, even if there is no snow, but it is cold winter after all, the temperature is naturally a little low.

It just seemed that the two of them didn't feel the cold. They lay on the grass and looked at the moon without saying a word. They stared at the moon for half an hour in a daze.

It's just that in this lengthy silence, there is always someone who has to speak first to break it.

So the deputy general said: "I heard that the emperor ordered a marriage?"

Gongsun Qing was in deep thought, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the deputy general, and then asked: "How do you know?"

"The brothers in the camp spread the word in private. The emperor's eldest princess gave you a wife, which is actually not bad."

Gongsun Qing frowned slightly.

This matter was mentioned by the emperor early in the morning.

The emperor's favorite eldest princess, she was not married until the 23rd just because the emperor was reluctant to marry her.

At that time, when the emperor brought up the matter, Gongsun Qing flatly refused.

It's just that the emperor seems to have made a decision long ago, and whatever he says, he will choose a date to get married after he returns to Beijing.

It was just because the war was so tight during this period that he almost forgot about it.

Recalling the letter he received from the emperor today, he wondered why the emperor cared about his physical condition in the letter.

Now that I think about it, it's because the drunken man doesn't care about drinking.

Then he sighed softly, turned to look at the lieutenant general: "Liu Quan, if it were you, would you agree?"

Liu Quan smiled: "What the general said is that the emperor's most favored princess, many princes and nobles in the capital are rushing to become a son-in-law, let alone me. If it wasn't for me, I already have a wife. It's also pretty good."

Then he sat up, looked at Gongsun Qing and said, "However, it seems that the general doesn't want to be this son-in-law."

Gongsun Qing smiled: "How do you know that I don't want to be?"

Liu Quandao: "We have fought side by side for so many years, if you had wanted to start a family, you would not have refused the emperor's marriage offer back then."

Then he thought for a while and said: "General, when you went on tour in a low-clothes before, didn't you already have your own heart..."

Gongsun Qing was taken aback when he heard this, and his hands tightened in vain.

But he still asked without changing his face: "Where did this word come from?"

Liu Quan pointed to the half hairpin exposed on Gongsun Qing's chest and said, "Look, it's exposed..."
