That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 81

In the winter of the fifteenth year of Tiance, Beimo suddenly invaded the northern part of Xia Kingdom, and was severely blocked at Qiling Station. The county magistrate Gu Qingci led more than 5,000 county soldiers to fight **** battles, and held on for seven days. Pursue more than two hundred miles north of the wasteland.

  In this battle, the county soldiers in Changling County were killed and injured. The Qiling Station was red with blood. The blood flowed into a river and the bones were everywhere.

  …

Years later, Changling County gradually eased from the sad atmosphere. The atmosphere of the New Year covered some bloodstains. However, the wind and snow were still there, and the snow was always thick, like armor. Although the distant mountains were green as usual , but it is only half snow and half new.

   When Gu Qingci woke up, it was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

   This year is also the first year of this life, but he was not lucky enough to live it. At that time, he was in a coma. This time, he slept for half a month, and when he woke up, the wound was already scarred.

He opened his eyes and saw a very familiar scene. It was his mansion in Changling County. He lived in this room all the time. The windows were tightly shut and the door was closed, and no sound could be heard. If it weren't for the faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room, he would have doubted whether he had been abandoned.

  In the room, there is a sword, which is a jade bone sword, hanging on the wall. There is a piano and a lyre on the desk. Everything is familiar, just like what I saw when I opened my eyes when I first came to this world.

He got up slowly, opened the door, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, but the snow had melted again, and there was no snow, but it was a little terribly quiet. He stepped on the snow, and the soft feeling made him sigh. There is a chance to walk.

  Recalling the moment before the coma, he was already prepared to die, but he was still alive, just...

  He thought of Ma Shilian, that stupid scholar, his only friend, but he never had a chance to stand up again!

"what!"

An exclamation interrupted Gu Qingci's thoughts. He looked over and saw a maid from the mansion, looking at him in shock. The medicine in his hand fell to the ground, and the yellow-brown medicine flowed on the ground. , which melted a lot of snow.

   "Master is awake!"

   Shouting all his life, let Gu Qingci understand that his quiet time is gone.

  …

  The first person to come was Pang Shilong, who came with Zhao Dianshi.

  Gu Qingci understood the experience during this period through their narration.

Half a month ago, the person who suddenly appeared on the scene to save him was Yu Wanjian, the general guarding Weicheng, Shangguan Hanqing, who happened to arrive with Xia Guo's army. After saving Gu Qingci, he led an army of tens of thousands to chase after him. Killing the Beimo cavalry and going north for two hundred miles, it's a pity that they failed to capture the little prince Mengge of Beimo.

After this raid, Shangguan Hanqing realized that it was a mistake to abandon Qiling Station before, and had already sent troops to station there, and Shangguan Hanqing had brought his troops back to Weicheng seven days ago, so Gu Qingci had no chance to thank the rescuer in person. kindness.

   While Gu Qingci was in a coma, Princess Tang Yun and Ning Qing also left Changling County and went to Chang'an. When they left, Tang Yun appointed the interim magistrate of Changling County Dianshi.

  As for Ma Zhibai, he also went to Langya County after recovering from his injuries for a few days.

  Just now, a servant came in and said to Gu Qingci: "My lord, there is someone outside the door begging to see you, saying that it is the guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

  Gu Qingci nodded and said, "Please come in."

The person who came, Gu Qingci was familiar with him. When the conflict with Tang Yun happened, this guard was by Tang Yun's side. As soon as he saw Gu Qingci, he immediately said respectfully: "Master Gu, this villain is bringing a gift for the princess. The message, the princess said, let you take good care of your injuries, and when you recover from your injuries, go to the capital, don't wait for the adults from Yushitai to come here to investigate, she will directly report your achievements to the Holy Majesty!"

  Gu Qingci cupped his hands slightly and said: "Then I would like to trouble you to thank the princess for me!"

  …

As soon as the guard left the door, a wretched laugh sounded outside the door. Yan Bo, with old yellow teeth, walked in cheerfully, and he didn't pay attention to the superiors in the room at all. He sat down on a stool and said: "My lord, I heard that you woke up, hehe, I came to see you, and I said that you are very lucky, you will definitely not die, hehe..."

  When Gu Qingci saw Uncle Yan, he was slightly shocked. He didn't expect Uncle Yan to survive. He saw the tragedy of the battlefield at that time. It seems that Uncle Yan didn't even suffer any injuries.

  He smiled slightly, and said: "When it comes to blessings and fate, you are better than Uncle Yan."

Yan Bo smiled triumphantly, and said: "My fate is hard, and it is not easy to die, but ah, I am no longer a servant, I am old, and I am going to go back to my hometown to spend my old age, if it is not for waiting for Mr. Gu, I will left long ago..."

   Speaking of this, Uncle Yan suddenly took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Gu Qingci, and said, "No, this is it. If it wasn't for that girl who insisted on me handing it over to you, I might have already returned to my hometown."

  Gu Qingci took the letter and took a look at it. There was no signature on the envelope, so he wondered: "Uncle Yan, who gave it to me?"

Yan Bo suddenly sighed, and said: "Of course it's your little daughter-in-law, alas, my lord, why didn't you wake up earlier, if you persuade that girl, you can definitely keep her for you She gave birth to a fat son, that girl is so easy to deceive..."

  Hearing Yan Bo nagging non-stop, Gu Qingci knew that this must be Qin Keqing's letter to him, holding the letter, he felt a little uncomfortable suddenly, and muttered: "Are you leaving too?"

  Gu Qingci opened the letter, the girl's notes were very delicate and delicate, but she did not conceal the uprightness and determination under the quiet appearance, as well as the unparalleled temperament. This word is as pure as the snow outside.

   This letter is very simple, only a few paragraphs.

"Gu Qingci, don't forget that you owe me two things, the battle of life and death and ten miles of peach blossoms. Perhaps, when you return to Tianshan this time, you don't know when you will go down the mountain again. If you are ready someday, come to Tianshan to look for it. I, I am in Jiange!"

After reading the letter, Gu Qingci was silent for a while, then slowly stood up, walked outside, looked at the distant mountains covered in silver, and murmured: "If you don't leave, I can complete the agreement now, I will fight you to the death, but, at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to send you ten miles of peach blossoms!"

  …

  The Tianshan Mountains are particularly cold, with majestic snowflakes, ice and snow, and crystal clear icicles everywhere.

  In a piece of ice and snow, there is a sword that descends from the sky. Its body is pure and flawless, and it lands in front of a woman in a white Taoist robe.

  At this time, a Taoist nun dressed in the same dress came from the other side of the snow mountain, looked at Qin Keqing floating on the sword, and said softly: "Junior Sister, aren't you going to go down the mountain for a year? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Qin Keqing fell slowly, stepped on the ice, raised her head and looked into the distance, and said calmly: "I made an agreement with a person. When he is at the same level as mine, we will fight to the death. But, I am afraid to kill him. He can't give me ten miles of peach blossoms!"

   Thanks to the book friend "Haiqidi" for the reward of 100 starting coins.
