Qingchuan History

Chapter 698 For example, the morning dew
Ruan Xueyin was having breakfast when the secret letter from the southern border was delivered to her.

It was actually just dawn, and it was a cloudy day.At dawn, she was kicked awake by her child, which was a common occurrence these days. She couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up.

After Gu Xinglang left, news about the southern border and the Bai Kingdom no longer entered the palace—naturally.She could have called the bird to go south to look for him, and she would have made progress, but she was afraid that if something changed, she would have to use the bird's strength, but she couldn't move.

The secret letter arrived, but before it was opened, she knew that something had changed, luckily she didn't take any action.

But it didn't come from Gu Xinglang, but from Gu Xingyan.

The content is also very simple, a total of two items:

Your Majesty sent the female Jun back to Yunshui. Last night, she entered the territory of the Bai Kingdom. Jidu was guarded by guards and [-] Qi troops from the southern border accompanied her;

Beware of Xinwang.

Ruan Xueyin didn't believe that Gu Xinglang would go to Bai Country in person.No matter how confident and daring a man is, it is too unwise for a monarch to enter another country's territory, and he will never do it.

But King Ning didn't need to lie to her, because the army entered the Bai Kingdom last night, no matter how late the news was, today's investigation will be carried out soon.It is more likely that Gu Xinglang made the gesture of personally sending Duan Xirun back to China, making everyone think that he was in the team, but he was not.

In order to deter the assassins and reduce the possibility of Duan Xirun being in danger?

She focused on the second item again: beware of King Xin.

Unexpected, but very believable.So Gu Xinglang also got a glimpse of the clues, and planned to lure the snake out of the hole.Make a show, and see if anyone took advantage of the chaos to attack him after Li Qi Rubai——then you can determine who is obstructing and get the real evidence.

Diyan is still waiting outside.She ate in a hurry so that Yunxi could clean it up easily, and walked out of the main hall and said:
"My lord, accompany me to the Pishuang Palace."

The grass and reeds in the Phishuang Temple are rotten, the autumn is bleak, and the light fog is in pieces.Ji Wanling first heard that she wanted her to send a letter back to the prime minister's mansion, but she didn't know why, and she didn't want to obey Ruan Xueyin's advice. "Madam Pei has something to say to Xiangguo, just summon it."

"It's against the rules, that's one; the summoning will let many people know, that's the second."

Ji Wanling felt that the matter was of great importance. "Go now?"

Ruan Xueyin took out a handwritten letter from her sleeve and sealed it, "Let's go now. Thank you."

It was light.

The extreme south of Qingchuan was brighter than Jidu.Duan Xirun's riding skills were only learned after he ascended the throne, he is not good at riding, and he felt useless after running on the narrow road for more than half an hour.

"Your Majesty, come here in October!"

With the sound of hooves splashing and the howling wind, the beauty of Ning Qiuchen in the southern country is as fleeting as a cloud of smoke.Duan Xirun didn't respond, General Qi glanced at Shi Yue's white clothes with dragon patterns all over her body, and said in a restrained voice:
"It's not surprising that the female monarch used to be his wife in the Qi country, and she rode with Qi Jun at an extraordinary time."

Duan Xirun didn't fully understand the purpose of letting Shi Yue pretend to be Gu Xinglang, and now he had some understanding, but fell into deeper doubts.

Shi Yue was afraid that Duan Xirun wouldn't be able to ride, so she wholeheartedly persuaded: "That's right. Your Majesty, come here quickly." Then he steered the horse closer, very close, and watched the opportunity to grab her and surround her in front of him.

"This is more secure, and the sharp arrow will be able to block October."

Duan Xirun didn't know what to say, so he said after a long while, "You are good at riding a horse."

"Which man in Qingchuan doesn't learn how to ride and shoot!" Shi Yue was so full of energy, he laughed again after speaking, "But I'm not good at shooting, and the accuracy depends entirely on the feel of my hand."

"Your home is in the south." The Bai country is already in the extreme south of Qingchuan, and the southern part of the Bai country is the southernmost point, the coast.

"It's hard for your majesty to remember. Go to Shuishui County."

For example, the word "Ning" is the only one loved by Yin country, and many place names from Suoning to Ning'an have been used - Bai country also has a love character, which is "water".

Rhyme water, driving water, relying on the big river and the sea, is more justified than the Yin country's preference.

"Isn't it good to live by the sea? I came to the central part of the country, and it's smoky."

Shi Yue seems to be more than the first to hear this question, and the answer is very smooth: "It is said that the world is like a siege, those inside the city want to come out, and those outside the city want to go in."

This is very decent, Duan Xirun was impressed: "Then you have tried both inside and outside the city, which one do you think is better?"

Shiyue thought about it, "It would be the best place with Junshang. It would be even better if I could spend the rest of my life with Junshang."

Duan Xirun never realized that Shiyue really liked her—or had a real heart, but she must be flattering and inviting, pleasing her more than liking her.

But at this moment, she was a little convinced that the words "Spent the rest of my life by the sea" were inexplicably sincere, and there was an instant picture. "Looking back, I will build a palace in the south. Try to choose the vicinity of Ganshui County. I haven't been to that place yet."

Hearing the words in October, he opened his mouth to talk about his childhood life in his hometown.

He is really a person who is born to tell stories, the most common plot, going out to sea to fish and picking up shellfish on the shore, is lifelike. "Your Majesty, do you know about sea mermaids? It looks like a human being. Its eyebrows, mouth, nose, hands, claws, and head are all beautiful women. The skin and flesh are white as jade, without scales, with fine hair, five colors and soft, and one or two inches long. The hair is like a horse's tail. , five or six feet long. Obtained by widows and widows near the sea, they are raised in ponds. When mating, they are no different from human beings, and they do not hurt others."【1】

Duan Xirun reacted for a while after hearing this. "Have you ever seen a mermaid?"

Shi Yuezhong laughed: "I actually saw it when I was a child. I told my neighbors, but no one believed it."

Duan Xirun didn't really care about the authenticity, "It's really beautiful?"

Shiyue thought about it again, and she seemed to have seen it before, so she tried to confirm her memory, "Extremely beautiful. I think it is very similar to Junshang."

Duan Xirun giggled.The wind is still sick, the spirit is still disturbed, the road ahead seems to be life and death, but she smiles from the bottom of her heart.

"Really. When I saw Your Majesty for the first time, I thought it was you."

Did this sentence also happen when Gu Xinglang first met Ruan Xueyin?She had no reason to think.Encounter and recognition in the world are so accidental, mutual admiration is a miracle, and wrong payment is normal.

But it's good that she still has October in such a late autumn afternoon.

It was nearly noon.

"The lord said that if there are any pursuers, they will arrive at noon." As the sun rose, General Qi rode his horse closer.

Duan Xirun was startled, "Which way to pursue?"

"You asked your subordinates earlier, how could the coalition forces of the two countries try their best to kill Yunshui when you shouted the words "Nvjun is dead". Of course, some people will find out that the person in the car is not Nvjun. It only takes time, after all, most people I have never seen your true face."

The few people who have seen her face and can confirm the identity of the deceased in the car are the Qi State guards around Yujia, and in order to delay time, they will not speak immediately.Duan Xirun knew that Gu Xinglang had speculated and explained all the links, and gradually calmed down: "What else did he say?"

"The lord also said that compared to whether the deceased is a female lord, it will be discovered sooner that there is no Lord Qi in the car. If you are loyal or not, you will immediately understand that the two lords have their own clever plan, plan carefully, rectify the troops and continue to kill. Rhyme water; and those who have a different heart, "

Will chase and kill, is to chase soldiers.

Duan Xirun was stunned, "Then they discovered it slowly enough. It has been almost three hours since dawn broke."

"The guards of the Qi State will delay the time, this is the first; the pursuers must judge the route and choose the opportunity to leave the team, the second. They are Qi people after all, and they are not familiar with the terrain of the Bai State."

Duan Xirun raised his eyebrows, "My lord is sure that there are only a group of people who want to kill me."

General Qi also raised his eyebrows: "Is there a rebel in the northern army? The Lord didn't mention it."

It is not appropriate to give instructions for the king, so he did not mention it.But Duan Xirun began to feel that "or" is a terrible word, "or" means possible, it may be good or bad, good is life, bad is death, the result is so far away that it is so close that it can be covered in one word .

Running non-stop, the sun is getting higher and higher, and a pair of Bai is coerced and crushed by the wind.

When they saw the soldiers and horses blocking the way, the scene was quiet.

Quiet and serene, the masked person watched over a dozen people, all without armor and even military uniforms.

"The lord also said that they will change their clothes if their identities are found out." He could only stop his horse, and General Qi looked at the situation a few miles away. "It's this three-way intersection, "Intercept and kill."

It all takes time, so it's noon.Duan Xirun didn't panic because of blocking the way, but made a conclusion in his heart first. "So what is the countermeasure?" She also looked at the situation several miles away.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins."

Duan Xirun thought he would say that there was an ambush here to help.

Immediately he laughed, knowing that he was delusional, and when he wanted to say, "In terms of numbers, we actually have the advantage, we might as well rush to kill", the opponent had already rushed over.

The fight was silent, and many years later, Duan Xirun remembered that this scene was all silent.

Both sides have short soldiers and bows and crossbows, and the total number is less than 30. They shoot at each other from a distance, and fight with short soldiers in close quarters. Everything happened very quickly.

She always suspected that she was too nervous and deaf at the time, so no matter how she recalled, she felt that there was no sound.

After the knife was hit in October, the world was silent.

Only then did she realize that even if they are all masters, it doesn't necessarily mean that if there are many people, they will win.Even if everyone attributed her escape to "victory", she lost Shiyue and didn't feel like winning.

She didn't know it at first.The battle was horrific, only General Qi was injured and continued to protect her to Yunshui.There were still two wounded guards who did not leave, and she later found out that they were going to check the faces of those masked people one by one, and bring them back to Qi Country to Gu Xinglang.

There were so many things she didn't know at the time, she didn't know he was injured until Shi Yue's whole body drooped on her shoulders.There was a huge knife cut on his back, and the blood had already soaked through the hem of his clothes and dripped down the fur of the horse.

She sat in the front and really knew nothing.

Such a bluffing boy didn't even snort when he was hit by the knife.

"I know why Your Majesty bestowed the word October."

She clearly remembered him drooping on her shoulder and speaking, his breath was very weak, but he seemed to be smiling.

Duan Xirun didn't answer, only asked about his injuries.

"Your Majesty always calls out a name every time he forgets his feelings. It's not October." He didn't answer, and said to himself.And these words are not only presumptuous but also quite vulgar, and should not be said on the stage.

Duan Xirun no longer cared about Wan Jin.

She continued asking about his injuries.

"Does Your Majesty know the name of October?"

It took her a long time to understand. "you say."

"Su Che. My name is Su Che."

Her eyes and face were blown dry, cold tears kept gushing out and were kept back by the strong wind. "I see. I'll remember."

"Your Majesty."

"Ah."

"You have dimples when you smile. You look good. You have to smile more in the future, or it will be a waste."

"it is good."

The afternoon was extremely long that day, and the scorching sun seemed to never set and would wither everything.

"Your Majesty."

"Ah."

"That mermaid looks like you. Really."
