C63 So Did the Girl

The north wind swept up the white grass, and the snow fell in August.

If this poem had been placed last year, it would have been very accurate. At this time last year, it had already snowed twice in the land of Youlan. However, the winter this year was still very warm. Miraculously, there was no snow until the night of November 28th, the night before, when the first snowfall had arrived late. The entire northern lands had fallen into a blanket of silver overnight.

Early in the morning, Gongsun Xu let go of Liu Ninger who was in his arms. After getting up and washing up, he walked into the yard to practice the 'Crimson Spear Art' taught by Gongsun Zan under the falling snow. Thanks to his tough training every morning and night, coupled with his solid foundation, the spear technique progressed extremely fast. According to Gongsun Zan, he was already sixty percent strong.

The Xianbei People's Great Rites of Heavenly Worship was imminent. After Gongsun Zan watched White Horse Camp's drills with full power, he finally agreed to let Gongsun Xu lead the army towards the Tanhan Shan. Gongsun Zan himself led the army and caught up to them in order to find an opportunity to carry out the plan they had previously discussed.

As they were about to leave, Gongsun Xu handed over the military camp business to Guo Jia, Yan Rou, and Zhao Yun. He spent a few days in Liu Ninger's gentle village, but he never stopped practicing martial arts every morning or evening.

The spear was like a swimming dragon as snow scattered in all directions. At the rise of the dance, Gongsun Xu shouted and stabbed a plum tree in the left corner of the yard. With a 'kacha' sound, the plum blossom tree with the thick mouth of a bowl was forcibly snapped, and the plum blossoms that were blooming were scattered all over the ground.

Liu Ninger heard the sound and came out wearing a thick jacket. When she saw the situation, she stomped her feet and complained, "Brother Xu, the plum blossom blooms just right. Why did you break it?"

"Hehe." Gongsun Xu retracted his spear and said apologetically, "I forgot about it just now. I'll get someone to transplant a bigger Plum Blossom Tree over."

"Good, good!" Cui Er's family has quite a few large Plum Blossom Trees, Brother Xu can ask for one when he's free. "

"Sure, I just happen to be going out today. I'll pay a visit to the Le Mansion whenever I want to."

Liu Ninger opened her eyes wide, "Brother Xu is going out? "Where to?"

"We're going to the Tanhan Shan soon. We need to make some final preparations for the military camp."

"Oh." Liu Ninger pouted, feeling a little disappointed. If Gongsun Xu went to the barracks, she couldn't go with him.

"Let's go inside. It's cold outside." Gongsun Xu walked over, stood his spear under the porch and pulled Liu Ninger into the room.

The maid, Su Er, handed over a hot cloth to wipe Gongsun Xu's face. Liu Ninger took it and carefully wiped Gongsun Xu's face.

Su Er turned around and walked out, and very quickly, she brought in a tray with two bowls of scalding millet porridge and a few pasta cake.

Just as Gongsun Xu picked up the bowl, Liu Ninger suddenly said, "Brother Xu, I forgot to tell you something last night."

"What is it?" Gongsun Xu drank a mouthful of congee and asked while sucking on the cold air.

Rui Er brought Sister Mo over yesterday afternoon. At that time, Brother Xu was called over by the Marquis. She waited for an hour before she left.

"She's back so soon?" Gongsun Xu was a bit surprised. A dozen days ago, he deliberately dragged out three days of time before pretending to reluctantly accept Mo Bingmei's offer to accept those refugees from the Central Region. He didn't expect that she would return so soon.

Gongsun Xu was really looking forward to this beautiful girl from the Mo family. Of course, it was not the kind of expectation of a man and a woman, but the hope of getting her full support. That day, when Liu Ji and the others surrounded the Residence of Le, the Sixth Brother showed a letter to Ku Le. It was full of the dirty deeds of Liu Ji and the others. Afterwards, Gongsun Xu found out that Gongsun Xu had been an outer disciple of the Mo family for the past few years. That letter was brought here by Mo Bingmei, and the content was also found by the disciples of the Mo family. When Gongsun Xu found out about this, he was both happy and scared. He was happy that this power could temporarily help him achieve domination. He was scared that if he lost control of this power in the future, it would bring him a lot of trouble.

Liu Ninger also took a sip of her porridge and said matter-of-factly, "Sister Mo, you are so skilled in martial arts. What's so surprising about you coming back so soon?"

"When did she say she was coming?" Gongsun Xu took a bite of the pasta cake and asked.

"He said he'll be here early in the morning."

"Young Master, Mo Xiaoniangzi is here." Before Liu Ninger could finish her sentence, Gongsun Jia's voice came from outside the yard.

"Please don't, I'll go greet her." Gongsun Xu threw down his pasta cake and walked out in big strides.

Su Er asked quietly, "Miss General, have you fallen for that Mo Bingmei?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Ninger scolded softly, muttering to herself, "That Sister Mo is as cold as a block of ice, how could Brother Xu like her?"

Although Liu Ninger said that, she was still thinking about it and wanted to find an opportunity to test Gongsun Xu's tone.

Gongsun Xu came to the entrance of the yard and saw Mo Bingmei wearing a snow-white mink coat. He was stunned as he stood there. He quickly cupped his hands and asked, "My lady, you've worked hard. How's your trip?"

Mo Bingmeiquan bowed slightly as she returned the greeting, "Many thanks for Young Master's concern. I was fortunate enough to not fail in my mission and brought back more than 270,000 refugees!"

Gongsun Xu was overjoyed and immediately asked: "Where are they?"

"Youzhou City. Zou County's officials have placed them in an unoccupied military camp and provided them with two meals of porridge and two pasta cake. " A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Mo Bingmei's mouth. She seemed to be in a good mood.

"Very good!" Gongsun Xu nodded his head in praise, "I will discuss this with my father and decide how many people to send to Ji County."

"Thank you for the trouble, young master." Mo Bingmei thanked him and suddenly said, "This little girl brought some things over. Would young master be interested?"

"What?" Gongsun Xu's interest was piqued. To be able to be brought up so seriously by this pretty girl, it shouldn't be a simple matter.

"A detailed map of the city, as well as some of the latest news from the imperial government."

"Good stuff!" Haha, this is great stuff! Young lady, I am extremely interested in the affairs of the imperial court. Gongsun Xu was very happy. He pulled Mo Bingmei's arm and walked inside without saying anything.

Mo Bingmei trembled. She tried to pull her arm away, but for some reason, she gave up. She lowered her head and let Gongsun Xu pull her inside.

Su Er, who had been watching from the window, could not help but exclaim: "Miss! Quickly come and take a look! "

Liu Ninger jumped over and saw Gongsun Xu holding Mo Bingmei's arm.

"Miss, do you want me to tell Eldest Miss?"

"Don't go!" Liu Ninger quickly stopped him and said softly, "Brother Xu knows what to do. If Rui Er were to know about this, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"Oh …" Su Er dragged out her words, feeling extremely unhappy in her heart.

At this moment, Gongsun Xu walked up to the door and released Mo Bingmei's arm. He instructed, "Su Er, go and get a bowl."

Mo Bingmei panicked a little and said, "Young Master, I have already eaten breakfast."

"It's fine, just a bit more after eating. Su Er, hurry up and go! "

"Here!" Su Er left reluctantly.

"Sister Mo, you're so beautiful today!" Liu Ninger came up to stop Mo Bingmei. He complimented her with a smile.

Mo Bingmei smiled indifferently, but didn't say anything.

"Where are the items?" Gongsun Xu asked anxiously.

Mo Bingmei retrieved a sheepskin scroll from her sleeve and spread it out on the table.

Gongsun Xu couldn't help but rush forward to take a look. It was indeed a very detailed map of the pass. Although there was no latitude and longitude, the roads, rivers, mountains and rivers were all accurately marked.

"Where did you get this?" Gongsun Xu asked lovingly.

Mo Bingmei said coolly, "This is a treasure trove from the former Qin Court, and it was accidentally taken by an inner disciple."

Gongsun Xu did not know whether he should praise her or praise her. This was a collection of the imperial court of the Great Qin Empire.

"What news has the imperial government received recently?" Gongsun Xu decided to not pursue this issue any further. He knocked on the public opinion map where Chang An was located and asked Mo Bingmei.

Mo Bingmei whispered, "Fan Chou and Li Que and Guo Si have started an internal conflict. If not for Zhang Ji's timely advice, they would have met in battle."

"That's not surprising." Gongsun Xu shook his head and explained, "They are all selfish and petty people. It is normal for them to fall out with other people just for money and women. Do you know how His Majesty is doing? "

Mo Bingmei shook her head, "The emperor has always been confined in the palace. It's very difficult for my people to get close to him. However, I heard that Dong Cheng seems to be plotting something."

Clothes with an edict! These three words appeared in Gongsun Xu's mind, he then patted his forehead in annoyance, he was really confused, Cao Cao was still in Yanzhou and had not kidnapped Liu Xie to go to Xu Chang, where did the contract come from?

"Young Master?" Mo Bingmei looked at Gongsun Xu in confusion.

"I'm fine!" Can you get someone to investigate what Dong Cheng wants to do? Besides, it would be best if your men could get close to His Majesty. "

"Well …" Mo Bingmei hesitated for a moment before she nodded. "Try your best."

Gongsun Xu blurted out, "There's no need to rush. Before the civil war, His Majesty was still very safe."

Mo Bingmei instantly understood and asked softly, "Could it be that Young Master wishes to welcome His Majesty to Youzhou?"

Gongsun Xu was shocked, this girl was really smart. He only said one sentence and she already noticed his inner thoughts. However, since they were allies, there was nothing to hide. Thus, he nodded and admitted it.

"Young master, that's a good idea!" Mo Bingmei praised softly, "Although the reputation of the current dynasty is in disarray, the emperor still has a lot of reputation. If young master can 'invite' the emperor to the Youzhou, then that would undoubtedly be occupying a righteous place!"

Gongsun Xu sighed, "My wife, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?" Mo Bingmei widened her beautiful eyes.

"Can you not be so smart? Every time I didn't even finish my sentence, you would know what I wanted to say. Gongsun Xu intentionally told a joke with a sullen face.

"No way!" Mo Bingmei thought about it for a long time before resolutely shaking her head.

"Fine." Gongsun Xu shook his head helplessly. He shouldn't be joking with this iceberg girl.

"Young master, if you want this little girl to become stupid, it's not impossible! Just agree to one of my conditions! "

"What condition?"

"I heard that Young Master is going to the Tanhan Shan, this little girl is very interested in going with you."

"What are you doing there?" Gongsun Xu was stunned.

"This is my daughter's private matter. Does young master want to know too?"
