177 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Military Camp

Autumn is slightly cooler, and the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the Imperial Garden are quietly blooming, with yellow leaves in full bloom and a faint fragrance that seems almost non-existent.

Autumn has entered, which is when autumn is approaching, and Yan Zhaozhao’s birthday is also approaching.

I still remember that Xie Ciyan congratulated Yan Zhaozhao on the new year at a pavilion in the middle of the lake near Qiu Wei’s camp last year and gave her a firefly hairpin, which she still often sees in her hair.

Xie Ciyan originally did not plan to go hunting in the hunting ground outside the palace, but only wanted to celebrate with Yan Zhaozhao and Yan Zhaozhao.Because for them, this is the first birthday that they can live together openly, and it is even more meaningful.

But the news of not going to the hunting ground had just spread, and the next day there were dozens of memorials on his desk, all of which were to persuade him to continue to handle the affairs of Qiuwei.The reasons for submitting the memorial are also the same. They all say that this is the first year of his ascension to the throne. There is no reason why Qiu Wei should not do it. This is hunting, and it is also used to publicly declare to the people of the world that the prosperous country has changed hands, and now he is the emperor.

Xie Ciyan had a headache for a while, but in the end he still agreed, not for himself, but because he saw the words that were announced to the people of the world.More than himself, he wanted to let the people of the world know that Yan Zhaozhao was the revered mother of a country and his unique queen.In the past, when the deposed emperor was in power, Yan Zhaozhao only had the name of queen, but in fact she suffered all kinds of grievances. Except for last year, she had never been to the royal hunting grounds as a queen before. Now he was going to crush her grievances one by one.

After receiving the order, the servants hurriedly arranged the autumn affairs with great discernment. In less than half a month, all the luggage was ready.Since the emperor had no one else and there was no need to worry about the concubine not being able to see foreign ministers, the emperor and the empress set off for the autumn hunting land together with a group of invited ministers.

Although they were together, they were far apart, and the foreign ministers were very cautious not to rush forward to disturb the emperor and empress. They only looked forward to arriving at the autumn hunting ground as soon as possible day and night.Today, the harem is empty. Although they have said that the harem should be abolished, some ministers are still secretly thinking about it, and specially bring their beautiful daughters to the hunting grounds with them, hoping to be favored by the emperor and become a concubine in one fell swoop.

But in the end, the wishful thinking of these ministers came to nothing.Because the emperor only appeared on the hunting ground with the queen on the first day of autumn hunting, he shot an arrow in the air and officially opened the curtain of autumn, but did not go hunting in person. He sat on the dragon chair and watched with interest for a while, then left with the queen. On the next day, no one saw the emperor again.

But for Xie Ciyan, autumn is far less important than Yan Zhaozhao’s birthday.

On the first day of autumn, he symbolically brought Yan Zhaozhao along with him. After completing his responsibilities as an emperor, he no longer had any interest in interacting with the ministers and secretly left the hunting ground with his beloved.

“Where on earth do you want to take me?” Yan Zhaozhao kept lifting the car curtain and looking outside. When he saw that the surrounding scenery was still the same, surrounded by dense forests, he finally couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked the man beside him.”Made it so mysterious.”

Xie Ciyan lowered his head and smiled, his brows and eyes filled with a gentleness that had nothing to do with her, “Don’t worry.” He tilted his head and stroked her hanging hair, “We’ll be there in a while.”

As Che Luan walked further, he left the woods surrounded by dense forests. Even the breeze blowing in his face was dry, revealing a roughness and desolation far away from the prosperous capital city.When Yan Zhaozhao looked outside again, he saw endless wasteland and low hills and ravines. The ground was a mixture of withered yellow and iron gray. The tents were like forests, and the sound of soldiers’ neat and powerful footsteps could be heard vaguely from a distance.

As they got closer, Yan Zhaozhao immediately realized where they were going.

“Are you taking me to the military camp on the border?” A strange throbbing suddenly arose in her heart. She had never seen such a scene, and she had never imagined that one day she would stand in such a place.The oncoming wind blew her hair, her twinkling eyes were bright, and the smile on her lips bloomed quietly, like the autumn wind blowing across the lake, bringing with it unconcealable excitement and joy.

“Do you like it?” Xie Ciyan took her little hand in his big hand and clasped his fingers with hers naturally.”Madam, do you think I’m boring? I actually brought you to the military camp.” His tone was heavy with a hint of probing, for fear that Yan Zhaozhao would be unhappy.

“I like it very much.” The woman held his hand back, curved her mouth, and there seemed to be a bright light hidden in her eyes.”Come here, and you will be able to understand what Xie Ciyan was like in the past.”

She leaned on the man’s shoulder and whispered softly, with a smile in her voice.”I want to know the whole of you.”

Xie Ciyan brought her to the military camp, which was far more interesting to her than Qiu Lie.In the past, before he was feared by the deposed emperor, he would often lead troops on expeditions. Even after he became emperor, he would often mention the appearance of the military camp in the past. She could hear the nostalgia in it, and she was even more curious about him in the past. She always wanted to explore Xie Ciyan’s past, but she couldn’t trace the past.Now she finally has the opportunity to understand the vivid past of Xie Ciyan, how could she not like it.

Previously, this place was the military camp when Xie Ciyan was the regent. However, the deposed emperor was afraid that his great achievements would shock the emperor, so he ordered him not to lead troops anymore, and ordered Huo Sui to replace him as the commander-in-chief.It was not until last year that Xie Ciyan wanted to seize the throne in advance, so he asked Huo Sui to return to Chang’an with him. It seems that he had not set foot here for many years.

His eyes looked at the unchanged plants and trees around him, and the memories of the past suddenly came to his mind, and a faint feeling of nostalgia suddenly appeared in his heart.

The carriage entered the military camp smoothly. Xie Ciyan carefully protected Yan Zhaozhao from the carriage. As soon as he stood up, he heard a deafening loud noise.”Brothers!” Huo Sui raised his hands to his mouth and shouted, “General, I am back!”

The people inside seemed to feel something, and groups of soldiers wearing simple military uniforms hurriedly came out of the camp to greet them.Seeing Xie Ciyan, Huo Sui and his entourage, their faces were filled with overjoyed expressions. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down respectfully in front of them, saying in unison: “General, please greet the Emperor, the Queen, and the General!”

Xie Ciyan’s dull eyes smiled a little more when he saw the familiar soldiers who fought side by side in the past. He was about to raise his hand to tell them not to be polite, but Huo Sui cut him off before he could say anything.”Since when did you start talking about these false etiquettes?” He seemed dissatisfied, “Didn’t you always yell at me when you saw me in the past? Today, you call me “General”?

The border military camp was far away from Chang’an. Except during troop training, they were a group of rough guys who all mingled together and made jokes. Huo Sui had no airs in front of them. After he became familiar with him, the soldiers never called him “general” again.

When the kneeling soldier heard these words, he couldn’t help but raise his head and glance at Huo Sui secretly, his expression full of disgust.

This glance was caught by the sharp-eyed Huo Sui.

He raised his eyebrows lightly, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the man.”Qin Lie, are you staring at me?!” Huo Sui raised his chin towards him with an arrogant expression, “Let’s go to the martial arts training ground to compete. A real man speaks with his fists!”

Xie Ciyan sighed lightly, with an undisguised look of helplessness on his face.”Okay, get up quickly and let these polite greetings go.” He walked to Huo Sui and put his big hand on Qin Lie’s arm, “You two, stop making trouble and get up quickly.”

In this military camp, the words of the three of them serve as military orders.And Xie Ciyan, Huo Sui and Qin Lie are close friends who have been born and died together many times. They are friends who have endured life together, so there is no need for these false gifts.

Qin Lie didn’t hesitate when he heard the words. He stood up immediately, but his expression did not relax at all. He said in a deep tone: “No, you are the emperor now, how can you not be polite.”

As soon as he arrived at the military camp, Xie Ciyan was completely different from the emperor who was reviewing the memorials in the Hall of Yangxin. Only here could he show the lively atmosphere that he only had in front of Yan Zhaozhao, losing a bit of the emperor’s awe.”This is not a royal palace, and you and I don’t need to be bound by the etiquette of a monarch or a minister.”

His voice was more energetic than before when he led troops on expeditions. “Except for my status as an emperor, I am still Xie Ciyan, and I have never changed.”

Qin Lie suddenly smiled, and his tense shoulders relaxed.He first quickly glanced at Yan Zhaozhao standing behind Xie Ciyan, and then glanced at the woman standing not far from Huo Sui, and his smile suddenly became meaningful.He bumped Huo Sui’s shoulder and couldn’t help teasing, “You’ve already made your mark. You went to Chang’an and now you’ve found a wife!” Then his tone became melancholy again, and he sighed, “You said I often hang out with such big bosses, when will I be able to find a wife!”

As soon as he said this, Bi Luo’s face flushed instantly, and even Huo Sui’s ears turned red quietly. He raised his hand to cover Qin Lie’s foul mouth, gritted his teeth and whispered: “That’s the maid next to the queen, are you lame before you grow old?”
