The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 94

"Do you remember when I came to your house last year to give the New Year gift? It snowed a lot."

Yun Ruochen held out a hand to hold a snowflake, brought it to his mouth, and gently blew it away.

She still remembered the heroic and natural boy who came over the snow and asked her heartily, "Little girl, who are you?"

That day, the white snow in the sky and the earth was crystal clear, but the young man's eyes were purer than the white snow.At that time, he was full of wildness, talking and laughing loudly, and teasing a proud golden eagle. He was really a unique existence in this well-behaved Beijing family.

Nearly a year passed, and the boy's appearance became taller and handsomer, and his eyes gradually lost their purity.From being straightforward before entering the palace to being cautious now, he may not have noticed the change in Gu Che himself, but Yun Ruochen has noticed it every day.

She felt a little regretful, it was rare to see a "real person" in this turbid world, but after all, she was still no match for the sinister and complicated real world.Ever since Gu Che forced himself to cooperate with his husband's lectures and practiced hard on how to become a qualified child of an aristocratic family, the edges and corners of his body inevitably began to be polished.

However, no one can live in a pure ideal world all the time, they all have to grow up.

She has her responsibilities, he has his.It doesn't matter if it's Gu Che, Zhao Xuan or Shen Yan.She thought of the boys she met, they were all very good, but what path would each of them take in the future?Thinking of this, she felt a little melancholy.

Just like the great talent Chu Qingbo who is famous all over the southeast, he has a family background and a talent name that everyone in the world envies, and he also has a monster-like beauty, but the things he carries are no less than hers... From his body dyed with the vicissitudes of life In his eyes, Yun Ruochen read some subtle information.

Gu Che walked up to her, and just like her, stood leaning against the window sill quietly, but didn't speak.

This posture was undoubtedly inappropriate, but neither Yun Ruochen nor Gu Che felt it was inappropriate.In fact, their friendship can't be said to be very deep, but they have a tacit understanding with each other.

If two people have avoided the pursuit of a large wave of hooligans together, seen each other vomit up to the point where they vomited all their bile and covered their faces with cold sweat, and then they can continue talking and laughing as if nothing had happened, then it is definitely true love... Uh, really friend.

Yun Ruochen and Gu Che are such good friends.

"Ache, can you understand what I was talking about with the gentlemen just now?"

Gu Che shook his head honestly. "I really want to understand, but you people, you, Mr. Chang, Mr. Tong, and that Zhao Xuan... You speak in the mountains, mountains, and bays. I don't know how many layers of meaning there are in a sentence. .I really don't understand."

"You can still hear my subtext, not bad, I have made great progress." Yun Ruochen teased him with a smile.

Gu Che rolled his eyes. "Don't laugh at me. By the way, what's the subtext?"

"The subtext... I will explain it to you slowly."

"In the future, those words that you don't understand, as well as the affairs between me and the gentlemen... I will explain them to you slowly."

"It's just Ah Che, you may have a harder life in the future..."

"Because the more you know, the harder it may be to feel happy."

Yun Ruochen spoke lightly, and Gu Che listened silently.After a while, Gu Che suddenly laughed.

"Ruochen, you always forget how much older I am than you."

"Huh? So what?"

"It's nothing." Gu Che shook his head and said, "I'm just happy that you're finally planning to treat me as a friend."

He spoke without thinking, and there was no logic between the previous sentence and the next sentence, but Yun Ruochen completely understood what he wanted to express.

Gu Che is not as simple as she imagined, he is actually very smart, but his life experience is a little simpler, so he often can't keep up with the thinking of "human beings" like Yun Ruochen.

After Yun Ruochen let him participate in today's "secret talk" and deliberately kept him here, he already knew what Yun Ruochen's intention was.

"Ruochen, you need me. I need you too. So... I will work hard."

Gu Che's speech was very slow, in stark contrast to his usual bright style.Such a conversation, for him, may be the first time in his life.

Yun Ruochen looked at him in surprise first, then raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"Yes, Ache, you are so right."

She needs him.It's not just as simple as needing him to keep a secret for her - Yuanxiao, yesterday, or the conversation just now, of course, those things cannot be spread casually, but she believes that Gu Che would not tell anyone casually.

She hopes to protect her beloved family, but most of the time, she can only stay in the back house or the deep palace, unable to move freely.

So she needs many incarnations, such as Ye Shenyan, who was sent to the Listening Tower by her, who can inquire about black and white information for her in the future; for example, the young officials she just recruited, Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao, are about to become She was a pawn to enter the court; and also, Gu Che, a kind-hearted young man with a noble family background, freedom of movement, and courage.

She doesn't necessarily need him to do something for her now, but in the future there will definitely be many things that need to be done by his hands.And what she can give him in return is to let the Gu family continue the glory of the family.

Being able to say "you need me, and I need you" is enough to prove that Gu Che is also savvy.

But in Yun Ruochen's smile, Gu Che sighed.

Yeah, that's rare.Sunshine Boy will also sigh?Is it the young Gu Che's troubles?

Yun Ruochen was about to joke with him to ease the atmosphere, but Gu Che said in a low voice: "But Ruochen, there are many truths, my grandfather said, I thought about it myself, and you taught me... these things, I am not Can't figure it out. I get it."

"But I think I still want to tell you. I want to help you The most important thing is because I regard you as a good friend."

"Very good friend."

Gu Che raised his eyes and looked at Yun Ruochen steadfastly.At this moment, his eyes became extremely clear again, just like when Yun Ruochen saw him for the first time.

"...A very good friend?"

Yun Ruochen is used to being alienated from others, in fact, he doesn't face such intimate scenes very often, so he asked nonchalantly, "How good is it?"

"You are the same as Xiao Jin in my heart."

Gu Che nodded vigorously, as if this could increase the weight of his words.

"scare?"

Yun Ruochen's small face couldn't hold back, and collapsed all of a sudden.It's unreasonable for him to compare her with a flat-haired beast!Even if Xiao Jin is an extremely rare and extremely handsome golden eagle, he is still just a bird!
Gu Che has recently become good at observing words and expressions. Seeing Yun Ruochen's strange expression, he suddenly realized that she might not be happy with what he said.He hurriedly added: "Ruochen, have I told you about Xiao Jin's background?"

Yun Ruochen thought for a while, then shook his head.

"That was two years ago, when my father was still alive..."

Speaking of his father who died in the border battle, Gu Che's mood was depressed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mood and continued to talk.

It was also a snow day, he said.He followed his father and several uncles to conduct routine inspections in the mountains thirty miles outside the border.

There are very few prey in the mountains in winter, but there are many precious medicinal materials.The accompanying soldiers had nothing to do. After the inspection, they began to hunt hares, dig wild ginseng, and some people made traps to catch birds.During that time the border was relatively calm, and everyone was quite relaxed, otherwise General Gu would not have brought his young son out.

While everyone was eating game such as roasted hares and roasted mountain mushrooms, a soldier's exclamation suddenly came from the depths of the snow forest.

They were a few companions who ran into the dense forest to set traps to catch wild deer. Their screams made the large army alert, and they rushed into the dense forest one after another.

After they passed through this small dense forest, they found that nothing happened to their companions. They just stood by the edge of the forest blankly holding weapons, watching a thrilling death fight on the snow not far away.

Two huge golden eagles are fighting with a snow leopard for a gazelle that has been bitten bloody.

Gu Che still remembers that amazing and fierce fight: the wings of the two golden eagles spread out, almost covering the sky above the snow field; and the snow leopard covered in white was not to be outdone, every time it Almost all of them can fly into the air, and their jumping ability and attack power are simply terrifying.

"Shoot them all down!"

General Gu was very excited, especially when he saw the leopard that was whiter than snow, his eyes lit up.He had wanted a leopard-skin cushion for a long time.

As if awakening from a dream, the soldiers drew their bows and shot at the three beasts, but they couldn't hurt them at all.The agility of their movements has long surpassed the range that can be recognized by the human naked eye. Even if all the most elite soldiers in General Gu's army are present, there is still nothing they can do about them.

However, they are each other's natural enemies!
After fighting for more than half an hour, Snow Leopard was finally outnumbered and was pecked and scratched by two golden eagles to the point of death.On the contrary, one of the golden eagles was also seriously injured, and not long after the snow leopard fell to the ground, it also fell to the ground not far away.

"Okay, let's die together!" The onlookers stopped shooting arrows a long time ago, waiting to reap the benefits, although General Gu was very sad that the good leopard skin might be torn to pieces.

The only remaining golden eagle watched its companion and enemy die at the same time, bent down, picked up the dead gazelle, and flew away.

It flew very low and very slowly, and the injuries were obviously serious.General Gu assigned some people to collect the bodies of the golden eagle and leopard, and took Gu Che to chase the golden eagle.

Soon, Gu Che and his son on horseback caught up with Golden Eagle.They watched the golden eagle throw the gazelle under a certain big tree, take a piece of meat in its beak, and fly to the bird's nest built high on the tree.General Gu told Gu Che that there were probably golden eagle chicks in there.

As General Gu spoke, he opened his bow and prepared to shoot the golden eagle down.

"But, I stopped my father..."

When he said this, Gu Che suddenly said this.

Yun Ruochen was a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Stop General Gu? Why?"
