Qingchuan History

Chapter 966

On the vast and cold ground, Qi Tianzi's team walked silently and swiftly, barely brushing past the army of the northern pressure.

The officers and soldiers outside the car felt a little relieved, someone was talking in a low voice, secretly fortunate that the king reacted quickly and pulled out the camp quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In the car, Gu Xinglang accompanied the two children.

Chao Chao chanted halfway, and at this moment he finally felt sleepy, his small body slumped on Gu Xinglang's lap, his eyes closed, and he wanted to sleep.Gu Xinglang was surprised and overjoyed, he didn't dare to move for a long time.

Ah Yan's beautiful little face is clearly childish, but her eyebrows and eyes are extremely deep at night, and she looks out of the window from time to time, but the car window is closed, so she can't see anything at all.

"I've been asleep all day long, so you should sleep too, relying on Uncle Shi."

A Yan looked back at Gu Xinglang for a moment, and asked, "How many days did you say earlier?"

It took a few days to see Shangguan's father.Gu Xinglang thought for a while, "Five days. No more than ten days."

"You didn't lie to me?"

Gu Xinglang smiled, "I don't lie to children."

Ah Yan's dark and slender eyebrows were still frowning, "I saw Shangguan's father, can I still see my father?"

Just like she clearly recognized Shangguan Yan but shook her head to express that she didn't recognize her, this question was astonishing and made Gu Xinglang astonished—a girl who was less than six years old actually understood the world so far.

He wanted to reply with something to reassure her.

It was only in response that I said not to lie to children. "I have no idea."

Ah Yan was stunned, and showed a sad expression again, exactly the same as when shaking his head to Shangguan Yan. "I miss my mother."

Gu Xinglang was always good at coping, but now he felt stretched and said softly for a while, "I'll see you soon."

The black-armored Dawei cavalry swept across the cold land like a hurricane, from south to north, leaving deep and shallow horseshoe marks, which were gradually covered by snow.

Looking down from a high altitude, a troop of more than a hundred soldiers is also galloping. From north to south, it is Murong Xun and Zhao Ang who are leading the team.

Farther to the north, with a distance of tens of miles, Ruan Zhong drove the car and Ji Qi led the team, and they had just set off.

The faces of the two women in the car were pale, and it was difficult to see joy and sorrow. They sat and lay down in an eerie silence.

Time is passing, Feixue has never grown bigger according to a certain rhythm, and the long night has entered the darkest section before dawn.

The interior of the car was therefore completely dark.Ruan Xueyin was worried that Jing Tingge would be afraid, and wanted to get closer to her, so she moved and heard her say, "It's okay."

Ruan Xueyin stayed still.

"I don't seem to be afraid of the dark anymore, Xiaoxue."

She didn't finish speaking, but she couldn't make it coherent, so Ruan Xueyin waited.

"At that time in Luzhou, the lights were always on outside the porch and in the window corners of the house, and he and I could sleep soundly. In the middle of the summer, when there was a heavy rain in the middle of the night, the lights were blown out twice, and he would sleep when he was half asleep and half awake. Hold my hand and sing me the song his mother taught me."

This is the first time that Ruan Xueyin has listened carefully to Luzhou Years.

"Two people who are afraid of the dark are lying together in the dark, and it seems that they are not so dark and not so afraid. I actually don't know, Xiaoxue,"

Ruan Xueyin understood what she wanted to say.

Hope she has an answer, hope she doesn't.Sometimes the love in the world cannot be summed up in two words, and some certain conclusions will detract from its value.

Jingting Song really didn't go on.

"You and I may not be able to walk together to the end." Ruan Xueyin said softly.You shouldn't say more cruel things in the cruel time, but the longer you travel, the closer you are to parting, you must always say it, otherwise it will not be enough to say goodbye.

Because Gu Xinglang might want to attack Fufeng and even Cangwu at night; even if he didn't, Murong Xun already got soldiers and horses, so he would always act in defense or attack.

A decisive battle was almost inevitable.

"So, did we die like this?" At the end of the story, no one survived, Jing Tingge thought that her nightmare was of course the meaning.

Darkness is hopeless.

The departure of Shangguan Yan took a break from Ruan Xueyin's desire to play chess.

"I'm thinking that the basis of dream omens is the same as that of world affairs. It always depends on the situation and people's hearts." After a while, Ruan Xueyin said, "The situation is irreversible, but people's hearts can be changed. What if you and I don't go to Fufeng Cangwu? "

Jing Tingge was silent for a moment, then snorted softly, weakly: "Are you trying to persuade me not to go back and help Murong?"

"If you don't go, I won't go. In this situation, both sides have advantages and disadvantages. Murong has the advantage of the land, and even peace; he is actually passive, and the attack is desperate."

He, of course, refers to Gu Xinglang.Ruan Xueyin thought about it a lot. Up to now, she was not afraid of his attack, but worried that he would not be able to outrun the pursuers of Fufeng City.

—— Shangguan Yan reacted too quickly.With Murong Xun's army in hand and a warning, it is very likely that they will intercept Gu Xinglang and cut off the possibility of being attacked.

Jing Tingge didn't answer, and the cheeks that were drenched and swollen with tears had a strange luster in the darkness.

Further south, Qi Tianzi's team was trekking hard.

As you go south, the nights get shorter and the days get longer, and the dawn gets earlier, and you can vaguely see the dawn on the horizon.

The letter arrived at this time.Gu Xinglang listened for a while through the car window, and the cold air flow penetrated through the gap, very thin and thin, but it froze the entire car.

The two children are already asleep.

After confirming with him repeatedly, Ah Yan was dubious and forced to fall asleep.

So much so that Gu Xinglang's first reaction after hearing this was not to make any decisions, but to look at A Yan's sleeping face, unable to mobilize his brain or heart for a long time.

"Tell Xiaoba to go southwest." He was still waiting outside the window, so he had to give instructions.

That end seems to be an accident, "Your Majesty—"

"Go."

The outside had to promise.

Gu Xinglang continued to look at A Yan's sleeping face.

no.

In addition to being ashamed of his promise to his child, he clearly tried to hide his emotions.

He tried to pretend that he and Shangguan Yan were not so friendly, and tried to treat the sympathy of the past ten years as a game of chess.

He and he do use each other.

Later, he became an opponent on the bright side.

After Jinghong's ten years, except for Ruan Xueyin and his family, he didn't want to stir up emotions for anyone.

Not to change your decision for those emotions.So at this moment, the order, he told himself, is that the situation needs to be considered in the long run - after all, the soldiers and horses in Fufeng City are about to turn around.

He also wanted to see what Murong Xun was going to do.

Most importantly, the children must be sent to a safe place.

He convinced himself in this way, but the scenes of acquaintance with Shangguan Yan when he was young, cooking wine and discussing heroes kept emerging from the depths of his memory.

It was one of the few colorful embellishments in his first years as a monarch.

He took him to see some different worlds, he was also a friend, a teacher, and also like an elder brother—he would never have come to such a conclusion in the past.Because it is time to say goodbye, and there is no possibility of seeing each other again, I have to face the truth and admit my grief.

"Stop." So much so that he subconsciously said this sentence, not loud enough for the outside to hear.

Only Ah Yan heard it.

"What did uncle say?" the child asked, staring at each other.

Gu Xinglang was stunned for a moment. "What did you call me?"

Ah Yan became sober now, and sat up, "You just spoke. I heard you."

Gu Xinglang lowered his eyes, most of his face was hidden in the dark, "I'll let them stop."

Ah Yan was immediately nervous: "Why?"

Gu Xinglang didn't answer.

Ah Yan shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

The car didn't stop, Xiao Ba went back to the carriage, "Master?"

Gu Xinglang was trying to reason with A Yan, explaining not to make too much noise and bring danger. "How many days is expected?" He responded casually.

"Going back to the Lord, the snow is light and the sky will be bright, so the journey will be easier. The subordinates thought that they could go out of the cold area in four days without stopping."

Gu Xinglang said he got it, closed his eyes, calculated the speed of the Fufeng City army's return, and thought that if Murong Xun was determined to kill them all, he would send out a vanguard cavalry to chase after him, his convoy with children It may not be possible to run.

I don't know where Xiaoxue and the others are now.

"Let's do it like this. We will continue our journey, and meet Chunfeng Xuezhan and the others first. By the way, if possible, find a jar of wine."

Xiao Ba outside the car was taken aback, said yes, and rode away on the horse.

"Uncle Shi?" The car became quiet again, and Ah Yan was cautious.

Gu Xinglang opened his eyes and looked at her, instead of asking "Uncle" who just blurted out, he said softly, "A Yan, go to sleep. Shangguan's father has sent a letter, saying that he will come to see you after the matter is over, and bring you something delicious and fun." of."

Ayan's face lit up.The memories of the past are mostly blurred, but Shangguan's father always had delicious food and fun, and she will never forget this one. "Okay." Then he nodded, and lay down again, as if sleeping obediently, he could see the person he wanted to see sooner.

In the north of the cold area, where the snow fluttered, Ji Qi received a secret order and led the team to run non-stop.

One day and one night passed, and with Jing Tingge's familiarity with the terrain, he knew that he was heading to the southwest border.

There, there should be a passage for Gu Xinglang to enter Wei.

"Am I kidnapped by you?"

"Don't think so."

"You are really better than me, Xiaoxue, you can always achieve clear and utilitarian results in a logical and reasonable way."

"That doesn't sound like a boast."

Jing Tingge sneered.

"Murong Ruo sent troops here, and I was the one who was kidnapped." Ruan Xueyin said again, "So it's nothing serious."

Jing Tingge thought for a moment, "It's difficult for him. Fufeng needs the army to return to the division as soon as possible. It's hard to decide whether to send troops to chase Gu Xinglang or come to intercept you and me."

"He has to take a gamble. Because even I'm not sure whether Daqi's soldiers will be able to enter Wei."

Jingting Song didn't answer.This is probably the only time in 28 years that she prayed for a tacit understanding and a step back.

She is tired.Tired like a lifetime.I slept intermittently all day and night, and woke up without any recovery, only endless exhaustion. "I didn't dream about him. Probably because I blamed me too much to dream. What about you?"

Ruan Xueyin gathered the cloak covering her body, looked sideways at her, "Not at all."

The sky was still bright, and the light at dusk was a golden purple that couldn't be adjusted by paint. It penetrated into the car, just like when we met Shangguan Banquet in front of the stone castle.

"Dream a dream tonight." Jing Ting sang.

"I'll do my best." Ruan Xueyin replied.

Another round of night came, a hundred miles away, Xiao Ba went to the front of the car again, handed in food, and also handed in a jar of wine.

After Gu Xinglang took the two children to eat, he wiped their mouths and hands with his own hands, then placed the wine jar on the ground in the center of the car, and squatted down to open it.

"You want to drink?" Zhao Chao blinked at him, very much like a daughter in charge of her father.

"Drink a little." Gu Xinglang raised his head and smiled lightly, unwrapped the knots, pulled up layers of paper, and the aroma overflowed, "There are a few cups over there, in the bag, Ah Yan, go and get them. "

Ah Yan obeyed obediently, rummaging carefully with a pair of small hands, as if he had found it, he turned around and asked, "Is one enough?"

"two."

Ah Yan was skeptical, and didn't understand why one person needs two cups for drinking, but he followed his advice, holding one in each hand, and Baba went back to Gu Xinglang.

"One for you and one for me." Gu Xinglang smiled, "Put them all on the ground, and I'll pour the wine."

"A Yan doesn't drink it!" Chao Chao objected.

"Don't let her drink." Gu Xinglang comforted, and then said to A Yan: "Just have a toast with Uncle Shi, okay?"

The carriage was bumped, and while the cups were being filled, the wine was spilled all over the floor.The altar is in the middle, separated by Gu Xinglang and A Yan.

"Raise your glass."

Ah Yan didn't know why, but he was very serious, holding the cup in his small hand.Gu Xinglang also held the cup with both hands, and bumped it heavily, several drops of the wine burst out, the air was turbulent, and finally fell into the dust.

Gu Xinglang threw his head up.

The wind was loud, and the sound of cars and horses was very loud, which made Uncle Shi's drinking action particularly shocking, and Zhijiao A Yan also wanted to drink up the wine in his glass.

She just raised her hand, but was held down by Chao Chao: "What are you doing, children can't drink!"

A Yan didn't understand why he wanted to drink, he just looked at Gu Xinglang.

"Take a sip." Gu Xinglang said casually, and then turned to Chao Chao: "It's okay to take a sip, Uncle Shi also learned some medical skills from your mother before."

Chao Chao didn't quite believe it, so he glared at him, and Ah Yan tasted a little bit at this moment, and immediately his face was flushed with spicy heat, and he coughed.

"I just said I can't drink it!" Chao Chao hurriedly patted her on the back.

"Then what?" Ah Yan didn't care, and after recovering, he asked Gu Xinglang again.

"Then, spill the wine on the snow."

The car windows are wide open, letting in the northern wind.

In the night, Gu Xinglang and A Yan were lying by the window, one on the left and the other on the right, one holding the wine jar and the other holding the wine glass.

In the container, the nectar is like a spring from the sky, trickling down to the ground, melting into the snow, and disappearing quickly.

Ah Yan's small cup was gone as soon as he poured it.

At Gu Xinglang's altar, he didn't know whether it was too much wine or he deliberately poured it slowly—in short, the team was moving fast, and the trickle continued to pour, leaving fleeting and long water marks along the marks of the horses and horses.

Ah Yan stared at those traces in a daze.

The sky, trees, stars, and moon in the entire cold region seem to be silent for this scene, only the north wind gradually fills up the empty deep altar.

"Uncle Shi."

"Ah."

"Nothing."

Gu Xinglang knew.

But he didn't want to withdraw his hand, so he just held onto the edge of the altar, maintaining a posture of falling.

"You're going to get frostbite like this." After a long time, Chao Chao couldn't help it, crawled to the window and pulled his wrist, "Hurry up and take it back!"

At midnight, a new round of letters arrived.

First, Ji Qi reported the movement and reported peace, and then the sentry after the break said: Fufeng's army has separated a thousand-man team and is coming to the southwest.

"How long will it take to get to Fuzhou?" Gu Xinglang asked by the door as the children were already asleep.

Fuzhou, the only city you will pass on the way out of the cold to the secret road.When they first entered Wei, the reason why they disguised themselves with black armor was to hide Fuzhou's eyes and ears, even though they made a detour, they did not enter the city.

"Go back to the Lord, around Maoshi."

At [-] o'clock, it was almost dawn.Gu Xinglang thought for a while, "Speed ​​up and fight for Maoshi before entering the city without detours. Order Chunfeng to pull out the camp immediately and see you in Fuzhou; Xue Zhan, march into Weixi and attack Mianzhou."

Xiao Ba outside the car was startled, and hurriedly responded, then hesitated: "Although we are wearing black armor, after all—"

"Shangguan Yan is dead, and Murong Xun has just regained control of the army. It's too late, we have no way, and we probably never expected that we will go straight to Fuzhou. There is no warning, and it won't be too difficult in the middle of the night."
