Chapter 14 Granting the Sword
Gu Yuanqing did not rush over and waited in the house for a long time. After Eunuch Xu went up the mountain, he left the yard.
After turning a few corners, Eunuch Xu and others were already in front of us, and they quickened their pace slightly.
Gu Yuanqing really wanted to say, "Eunuch Xu, I miss you so much." But thinking that in this world, this sentence can easily lead to misunderstanding, he just smiled when he came up to him, cupped his hands and said, "This morning, listen to There are magpies chirping in the courtyard, and I still want to What kind of happy event can there be in this deep mountain? It turns out that Eunuch Xu is driving. I haven’t seen you for many days, but he still looks like the same."
Then Gu Yuanqing handed over to Chen Chuanshan: "General, thank you very much for last night. ”
Xu Lianying showed a smile, hugged the fly whisk and bowed slightly: "Mr. Gu, our family is polite. We haven't seen you for a few months. You are fine, sir. Are you still used to living in this mountain?"
As he spoke, he looked carefully. Looking at the young man in front of him, he has not seen him for several months, and his temperament is completely different.
More than eight months ago, he was just an ordinary young man. But now, his eyes are bright, his expression is full of energy, his long hair is casually draped on the back of his head, and he has a free and easy atmosphere.
Looking at his cultivation, he seems to have a sense of concealment to hide his Qi, but the overflowing vitality and the subtle integration between his will and heaven and earth can show that he has reached the realm of true martial arts.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He personally sent Gu Yuanqing to Beiquan Mountain. He knew his situation very well. He had been practicing for more than ten years and was only at the third level of Yuanshi. He could progress to this level in just a few months!
Chen Chuanshan just nodded slightly in response and said nothing.
Gu Yuanqing felt much better when he heard someone finally talking to him. Looking at Eunuch Xu, he felt more pleasing to the eye, as if he was wandering in another place and suddenly met a fellow villager.
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said: "I've gotten used to it even if I'm not used to it. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite good to be here. There's no intrigue, I'm far away from the turmoil of the world, and there's no one to restrain me. It's nice to just come and see the mountains and rivers and read books." "How beautiful?" This state of mind made him appreciate it a little, and said with a smile: "Young Master Gu, just get used to it. This kind of life makes our family a little envious."
Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly: "Then Mr. Xu has a lot of time. Come and experience it, I also have someone to talk to, but there is one thing that is a bit unpleasant.”
"Oh? Please tell me."
"There is a lack of wine in this mountain. Such beautiful scenery, but without wine to accompany it, loses a third of its flavor."
Xu Lianying turned back and glanced at Chen Chuanshan.
Chen Chuanshan said lightly: "Alcohol is prohibited in the camp and there is no alcohol. This is the rule of the Eagle Guard." Delivered from outside.”
Gu Yuanqing was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, thank you very much."
Chen Chuanshan glanced at Xu Lianying sideways and said nothing, acquiescing to the matter. He only knew a little about Gu Yuanqing, so it would be worthy of Eunuch Xu to come in person. The second time, he couldn't help but think more.
Of course, given his status, he would naturally know more if he wanted to inquire. However, as the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, he knew very well that matters related to the palace should be involved as little as possible, the more he would know. On the contrary, it is not a good thing. Only when you know how to do your job well can you live longer!
After some pleasantries, Gu Yuanqing asked: "What's the matter with Eunuch Xu coming here today?"
Xu Lianying glanced at Chen Chuanshan.
Chen Chuanshan understood immediately and turned around and said: "Leave this burden, and the other things will be sent to the dining room later." Then he hugged Xu Lianying and said, "Eunuch Xu, go down to the mountain for inspection."
Xu Lianying nodded. : "General, please take care of yourself. Mr. Gu and I still have something to talk about."
After a while, there were only three people in the open space, Gu Yuanqing, Xu Lianying and a young eunuch who was unfamiliar to him.
Xu Lianying turned around and winked, and the young eunuch took out two leather jackets from the basket.
Xu Lianying said: "It's cold on the mountain. These two fur coats were brought from the inner treasury by His Majesty as a reward to you."
Gu Yuanqing was a little surprised, but he turned sideways and raised his hands in the direction of Kyoto: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The young eunuch put his quilt back, took off the sword box on his back, and presented it with both hands.
Xu Lianying opened the sword box and took out a three-foot-long sword and said: "This sword is called Kunwu. It is made of meteorite iron mixed with various rare treasures and refined for thousands of times. It can blow hair and break hair, and sharpen iron. Mu, it's a fine sword. Your Majesty knows that you practice swordsmanship, so he specially asked us to bring it with you." Gu Yuanqing took the sword and took it out of its sheath. He saw that the sword was as thin as a cicada's wing and its color was like autumn frost. I felt chilly when I went there.
At this time, he was a little stunned. What was the purpose of the emperor first giving away a fur coat and then a sword? It was as if he had not made a mistake and was imprisoned here, but was a favored minister.
Half an hour later, Eunuch Xu and his entourage went down the mountain, and his words before leaving were profound.
"Mr. Gu, there are some things that our family should not say too much, but after thinking about it, we said it anyway. Our family knows that it is hard to live in the mountains, but being here in the mountains is good for you, your Majesty, and Daqian. A good thing, but you must endure loneliness , you can hide things." He paused and then said: "Cultivation is the only foundation in this world. You must not let down your majesty."
Gu Yuanqing was puzzled. I can't figure out what this means.
"Am I the emperor's illegitimate son living abroad? Then I am not related to..." Gu Yuanqing felt a chill and quickly put this thought aside.
It was already after sunset when Xu Lianying returned to the palace. Even if the finest horned dragon horse could travel three thousand miles a day, this trip would still take three hours. After all, Beiquan Mountain was six hundred miles away from the capital.
He came to the back garden and bowed down: "Old slave, see your majesty."
"Get up, how did things go?"
"Go back to your majesty, the reward has been given to Gu Yuanqing."< br>
“What about Beiquan Mountain?”
“The old slave took a look and found no trace of the master. He may have left, or maybe he saw the old slave and deliberately avoided his whereabouts.”< br>
"Then Gu Yuanqing has really understood the meaning of the sword?"
"Commander Chen, who is at the seventh level of Zhenwu, must have thought wrong. According to what he said, when Gu Yuanqing cut off Qin Baijun's arm, he raised his finger as a sword. Today, the old man If you look at Gu Yuanqing's body energy, he is definitely not an ordinary True Martial Realm cultivator."
Li Haotian nodded slightly. , and then said: "I understand, my dear companion, go and invite the imperial doctor Zhou Yanhuai to the palace, prepare the midwife, and calculate the time. Miao Xuan is about to give birth. I don't trust others to handle this matter."
"Old slave, let's do it now."
Xu Lianying left, Li Haotian frowned and sighed one last time.
At this time, a eunuch walked up to him with his head lowered.
"Your Majesty, King Qing wants to see you."
"Uncle King Qing? What is he doing here so late, Xuan!"
A moment later, a white-haired Hua The old man came to the back garden.
"Old minister, see your majesty!" the old man bowed.
"Uncle Wang, please get up quickly. Please come and give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Uncle Wang is here late at night, but what is the important matter?"
< br>King Qing looked around and Li Haotian waved his servants to leave.
Prince Qing slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, Princess Miaoxuan is pregnant with Liujia?"
