That Person In That River and Lake
Chapter 38: Snowing
Chapter 38 Snowing
When the snowstorm comes, the world is silent, and countless snowflakes are falling down from the low sky. In an instant, the mountains, rivers, fields, and villages were all covered in white snow. In the tavern, the proprietress looked out the door blankly, and two women came in.
A Taoist nun in a white Taoist robe, with a sword hanging around her waist, she stood quietly, as if she was integrated with the wind and snow of the world, holy and aloof, with a pair of clear and calm eyes, without a trace of human fireworks. And beside her was another woman, Diaoqiu Jinyi, imposing like a rainbow, as calm as jade, looking at Gu Qingci lightly, with a slight disgust in her eyes.
Gu Qingci took a slight look at the two women, and there was a rippling in his heart. The Taoist nun's natural temperament shocked him. She was undoubtedly an absolute master, while the other noble woman was an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts. What caught his attention even more was the angry man behind the two women, who was clearly a martial artist in the qi state.
Gu Qingci shook his head helplessly. Unexpectedly, the people who killed these people were really Her Royal Highness’s people. I’m afraid that this matter will be troublesome today, so he had to slightly bow his hands and said, “But Your Highness Princess?”
Tang Yun was slightly taken aback, and said, "Who are you?"
Gu Qingci said indifferently: "The next official is the magistrate of Changling County, Gu Qingci."
A trace of surprise flashed in Tang Yun's eyes. She never expected that the weak-looking scholar in front of her was actually the county magistrate here, and a murderer who killed several elite soldiers under her command.
"It turned out to be the county magistrate," Tang Yun yelled angrily, "Gu Qingci, are you convicted?"
Gu Qingci raised his head, he was very helpless, he knew that the princess was not kind, and he only hoped to be someone who could listen to the explanation, so he said: "Princess, can I listen to the official's explanation?"
Gu Qingci is neither humble nor overbearing, but in Tang Yun's eyes, she doesn't know what to say. She just feels that this person can't see her identity clearly, and doesn't show enough respect for her as a princess.
Tang Yun snorted coldly. The more she looks at Gu Qingci now, the more she hates it. A small county magistrate, facing her majestic princess, still doesn't kneel down. He has no dignity at all, and said angrily: "I only ask you , Do you know you are guilty?"
Gu Qingci's eyes were condensed, with a cold light, and his tone was icy cold, and said: "This county is not guilty!"
"Bold!"
Why did Yang Ao, the general behind the princess, say: "A small county magistrate, not only killed the princess' bodyguard, but also dared to contradict the princess, why didn't he kneel down and admit his mistake?"
"Ah…"
Gu Qing laughed, he was laughed out of anger, he had heard that there are many domineering children in rich and noble families, and as expected, he mocked: "Princess is really a great prestige. Does the princess feel that her prestige has surpassed that of the emperors of the Xia Kingdom?"
"You are so bold, you dare to slander me," Tang Yun said angrily, "Let me take down this **** who knows no respect."
"Boom"
Gu Qingci hooked his ankle, and a stool flew towards Tang Yun, scaring the group of guards to "swipe" and draw out their waist knives in a hurry. Yang Ao quickly stood in front of the princess, and slapped the stool away, and Gu Qingci followed the trend Kick, a table flies past.
The table was blocked by no accident, it was impossible to hurt Tang Yun, and Gu Qingci had no illusions that he could hurt the princess so easily, he just took the opportunity to draw his sword out of its sheath, and said coldly to the proprietress: "Miss proprietress, you leave first, so as not to accidentally hurt you, you Don't worry, the county will compensate your shop afterwards."
The proprietress hurriedly nodded and walked towards the back door. Before she left, she did not forget to shout: "Master Gu, be careful, the hundreds of thousands of people in Changling County cannot do without you."
Gu Qingci smiled slightly. He didn't have the idea of being loyal to the country, nor did he have the great spirit of defending the country and protecting his family by sacrificing himself, but he had justice. He was an official in one place, and his greatest wish was nothing more than to be able to benefit the people. Being recognized by the people is enough to make him happy.
"I, Gu Qing, have resigned as an official. I am worthy of the common people. Madam Boss. With your words, I will die without regret!"
During the back-and-forth conversation between Gu Qingci and the proprietress, Tang Yun was suddenly moved and throbbed. She looked at Gu Qingci in surprise. For a moment, she suddenly wanted to hear Gu Qingci's explanation.
However, he was so eager to make meritorious deeds that no one could stop him. The leader Yang Ao swung out with a single knife, covering the body of the knife with unparalleled ferocity, and the killing momentum pressed towards Gu Qingci. He shot with all his strength, and from the beginning to the end, Gu Qingci was just a stepping stone to meritorious service in his eyes.
Gu Qingci's long sword was out of its sheath, light and shadow were flooding, the ink-colored sword sneered, directly ignoring Yang Ao's saber, and pierced his face obliquely with a sharp sweep. This is the broken knife style of Dugu Nine Swords, but Yang Ao After all, he is a master of the atmosphere, Gu Qingci has a hint of risking his life in it.
Gu Qingci's sword was imbued with the ruthlessness of Jianghu: If you kill me, you will die. I am just a small person with a low life, so I am not afraid of the difference between life and death. You are a general, and your status is so noble. Are you afraid of death?
Yang Ao was naturally afraid of death, and his face turned pale. He never thought that Gu Qingci, who was dressed as a frail scholar, would be so ruthless, and he couldn't prevent mistakes. At the most dangerous moment, across his chest, just this movement made his right hand tremble slightly, and the veins on the back of his white hand were faintly visible.
"First-class warrior!"
Yang Ao exclaimed, he didn't expect such a young brat to be a first-class fighter, and, with his deep internal strength, it is enough to prove that this is a first-class master with a very stable foundation.
Gu Qingci was also slightly taken aback. This was his first time facing a martial artist in the qi state, and it was really difficult to win, but his fighting spirit was even higher in his heart. With a wave of his long sword, he once again fought against Yang Ao. Gu Qingci was brilliant at lightness , not head-on with Yang Ao, whistling and whirling around his body, saw sparks splashing everywhere, and in an instant, I don't know how many times the strange sword pieces of the two collided!
"Grandma, I have killed so many warriors, but I have never killed a warrior in the qi state, so let's eat meat today!" Gu Qingci yelled angrily.
The shadow of the sword pierced through the air, and Yang Ao swung the knife from his waist, and sneered: "I don't know what it means, I want to die!"
The light of the saber pierced the door of Gu Qingci's mansion. He was so annoyed by Gu Qingci's lightness kung fu that he couldn't let it go. Qinggong was even faster, turned slightly sideways, and avoided Yang Ao's attack.
Yang Ao fell to the ground with his saber, and chopped on the bucket-sized pillar. His breath broke through the air, and he directly emptied a section of the pillar from the middle, turning it into flying debris, which made Gu Qingci amazed.
This is the first time that Gu Qingci has seen the power of qi. This is the difference between qi and first-class. It has been able to let the internal force leave the body and cover the weapon, which is very powerful. He looked bitterly at the long sword in his hand, and there were already many gaps.
Seeing Yang Ao chasing after him again, Gu Qingci smiled coldly, hiding for so long, it's time to stop—the epee has no front, it's a coincidence that it doesn't work!
This is the sword intent, but also the sword force,
Dugu Nine Swords, emphasizing meaning but not shape,
Carrying natural coercion, strength is absolute!
