The garrison at night.

Qiao Ding was awakened by 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?"

"Fourth update, ugly time."

Qiao Ding: "..."

While Qiao Ding was putting on his clothes, he asked again: "Is it the barbarian army that's making another move? What did Marshal Gu say?"

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

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 next to him. He was holding a wine bottle and drinking alone.

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

"Nothing." Gu Chao said casually and handed the other wine bottle to Qiao Ding.

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

Gu Chao touched Qiao Ding's with his own wine bottle and said, "Cheers."

Qiao Ding: "..."

Qiao Ding has a good temper. Otherwise, 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 said nothing, and drank the wine bottle with his head down. Then he turned around and called the guard: "Bring another jar."

The guard glanced at his general. Qiao Ding was not sure whether Gu Chao was possessed, so he nodded and said, "Go get it." They were all old acquaintances, and he knew that Gu Chao could drink, even though his leg was injured. Drinking is not good, but men who serve in the army don't care about that.

"Gu Chao, what's wrong with you?" After a while, new wine was delivered. Qiao Ding watched Gu Chao drink it endlessly and finally interrupted him.

Gu Chao wiped the wine stains from his mouth, slapped the table, and suddenly asked: "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 already decided on a relative, but I'm in Huangzhou right now. I haven't seen anyone, but if my parents say it's appropriate, then that's fine."

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

"Marry."

"You don't like her."

Qiao Ding didn't care: "Whoever marries a daughter-in-law is not like this. They don't like her at first, but after they get married, they gradually develop feelings for her. Once they have children, the family will be harmonious and beautiful."

Gu Chao said nothing.

Qiao Ding finally guessed what Gu Chao's problem was.

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

Gu Chao didn't reply and was silent for a while. Instead, he asked, "That boy Rong, do you remember him? He used to be in your barracks."

Qiao Ding's tooth hurt when he thought of that girl: "Remember, what's wrong?"

"Let me tell you a secret." Gu Chao said mysteriously, "Rong, you are a girl."

Qiao Ding had a meal at first, and then he started to sweat.

That time he went to the Northern Xinjiang Army for a meeting and saw that Rong Xiaozi, a girl from the family, was ordered to carry the corpse and skewer the heads. He felt it was inappropriate, so he made a fuss and wanted to bring the girl back. As a result, the Northern Xinjiang Army did not Fang, he was angry at that time and wanted to explain to Gu Chao that this Rong boy was a woman and she could not be allowed to do dirty work. But in the end, before he had time to say it, Gu Chao retorted again. How could Qiao Ding be convinced? He turned around and left, never mentioning it again.

Now that Gu Chao suddenly mentioned it, Qiao Ding was afraid that he would blame him for not reporting the knowledge and deliberately punishing him, and he suddenly felt guilty.

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

Gu Chao did not doubt Qiao Ding, however. He took another sip of wine and murmured to himself: "It would be fine if she was an ordinary woman, but she is the princess...but she is the princess..."

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

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

Qiao Ding immediately widened his eyes: "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. She will get married to a noble family in the court. If you fall in love with her, you will suffer the consequences."

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, but you can't be confused about this kind of thing. I think you are not too young, so why not ask Mr. Fu Yin to arrange a marriage for you?" As soon as we get married, we won’t have these messy thoughts anymore.”

Gu Chao said nothing, raised his head and poured wine again.

Qiao Ding advised him again: "It may be uncomfortable now, but it won't matter as time goes by. Throughout the ages, what matters when getting married is that you are in the right family. If you are not in the right family, there will be big problems after you get married. If nothing else, you are willing to come back then." Are you going to Beijing? Are you willing to stay in the Junma Mansion and be an idler who eats the royal food and is supported by your wife? "

Gu Chao himself had these concerns in his heart, but when Qiao Ding pointed them out, he lost his temper again: "Am I so useless? Even if I move to Beijing, won't I be able to do anything else?"

Qiao Ding shook his head: "If you want to make a difference, you must have a place where you can do it. The personnel in Beijing are complicated and there are intrigues. I'm afraid that you will be sent to a idle position before you can establish yourself, and you will never get ahead in your life."

The threshold for becoming an official in the capital is high. It not only depends on your family background, mentorship, and merits, but also your character. Whether you can get along well with your superiors, whether you can unite with your subordinates, and who will you follow if you are in line? If you become the third prince The son-in-law has turned into a party of the Three Kings. Is the Emperor willing? Don't look at the deep love between the Emperor and the uncle and nephew of the Third Prince. 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 has many areas of control, the hard work is equal. If you are doing logistics, you are just doing odd jobs and running errands. It's a sinecure.

If you are a pioneer, you will travel in all directions all year round. You have to take care of things in Beijing, but you still have to take care of things in other places. You spend less time with your wife and more time apart, so what is the difference between it and now at the border? To put it bluntly, working at Zhengemen is more likely to lead to death than fighting barbarians in Huangzhou. There are always rules for fighting, but when working at Zhengemen, you don't know when you will be attacked and quartered.

Qiao Ding has been busy moving to the capital for seven or eight years, and of course he knows some shortcuts, which is to take the Zhengemen exam, but his parents have already told him to take the Zhengemen exam, so they break away from him and adopt him into the side branch. When a child is regarded as a son, it is treated as if he has never been born in this life.

It is impossible for Qiao Ding to take the Zhengemen exam even if he dies, and the personnel in the capital are changing so rapidly. Qiao Ding has some connections in his family and has been struggling for so long. If Gu Chao, a stupid Qingqing who has no identity, doesn't care, Qing Qingqian, Qiao Ding could guess his ending by thinking with his toes.

When the time comes, Gu Chao will not regret that he ate him alive.

Gu Chao himself also knew very well what Qiao Ding said. It was precisely because of his understanding that he refused so firmly that the military doctor refused.

Even if he was really capable and could make a name for himself in Kyoto, it would only be ten or twenty years later. He joined the army as a young man, fought in many battles, and suffered many injuries, some of which still have sequelae. If he is asked to go to Beijing and survive for twenty years, it is hard to say whether he can survive for twenty years.

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

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

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

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

"I guess she likes you for being fierce, upright, reliable and brave. So if you go to Kyoto, will these qualities of yours be worn away by the tedious court battles? Then do you think she will still be able to do it when the time comes? Do you continue to like you? If not, what will you become in her eyes?"

Gu Chao clenched his fists.

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

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

Qiao Ding nodded: "My words may be cruel, but they are all true. I am your friend. I am not familiar with that girl. I must consider you and not her. I just hope you don't suffer a loss." good."

Gu Chao fell silent and started drinking again.

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

Liu Wei looked at the gauze curtain above her head and slowly asked Rong Leng a question: "If we were in a long-distance relationship, would you rather I follow you to the state capital where you are, or would you rather you follow me to 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 in a random mood.

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

But after Rong Leng closed his eyes, after a while, he listened to his wife inside.

"So, when it comes to falling in love, if you can live in the same city, then live in the same city. It's really difficult to fall in love in a long-distance relationship."
