Chapter 675 675: Looking at the tide of the river from a pool of water [two-in-one]
Gu Chi thought Tao Yan would make an appointment with him.
The result is not.
The person who came was a woman with a strange face.
He dared to swear with his extraordinary memory as a literary scholar that he had never seen this person before, let alone the word "old friend" between them. But there is one thing that Gu Chi is sure of: "Are you from Tao Shenyu? Did he send you here to find me?"
From the moment Gu Chi appeared until he spoke, the woman looked at him without saying a word. As an ordinary person, a woman's eyesight is not as good as that of a brave warrior. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, allowing her to clearly see Gu Chi, who had only appeared in rumors. The slightly rounded curves when he was young have now become sharp and angular, even looking thin and angular due to his long-term physical weakness.
But with this temperament, it can also be called a crane-bone posture.
The woman said: "So, you are born like this."
The tone seemed to be confused, but also revealed a little familiarity.
Gu Chi was confused by her, and the other party's voice was disorganized, with no usable information. Just when he was about to guide the other party to reveal his true feelings, the woman said: "I am indeed his, but this time I came to see you not because of his instructions, but because of myself, and I especially want to see you."
Gu Chi: "..."
He really doesn't know this woman.
Unexpectedly, the woman raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, probably wiping away tears. When she spoke again, her voice trembled slightly: "I know you are doubting my identity, but I can guarantee that , I really don’t have any ill intentions when I meet you this time. My surname is Feng, Gu Langjun still remembers this surname..."
Gu Chi's calm expression became slightly disturbed.
The woman who was once engaged to him was named Feng.
The appearance and age of the man in front of him match his age, could it be...
"Of course I remember, but now you and I have nothing to do with each other. We have already gone our separate ways." Gu Chi didn't understand why his ex-fiancée suddenly came to see him. With this puzzling look on his face, there must be a monster if something goes wrong, and he was wary, "I wonder why you are looking for me? It's getting late, If it is not a big deal, please leave early. If it spreads, it will harm your reputation."
The woman heard this and said with a smile, "Gu Langjun misunderstood."
Gu Chi was embarrassed: "Misunderstanding? Then who are you?"
"The person who is engaged to Gu Langjun is my sister."
Gu Chi: "..."
He has no relationship with the eldest lady of the Feng family, let alone the other daughters of the Feng family. The Feng family also added fuel to the fire of what happened to his Gu family. Thinking of this, Gu Chi looked at the woman with a bit of impatience, and his voice suddenly became colder: "You have also seen me, if there is nothing else to do, Gu will go back first."
"Gu Guanchao , I..."
The name broke into Gu Chi's ears, and his face suddenly changed, showing a ferocious look: "It's Gu Wangchao! Who are you calling?"
The emotion was so strong that he couldn't help it. I can't control my temperament well.
A strong wind suddenly rose, and the woman was caught off guard and forced to take a few steps back.
This detail made Bai Su, who was hiding in the dark, curious.
You must know that when one's strength reaches Gu Chi's level, restraining one's literary spirit is as natural and simple as breathing. Only emotional ups and downs can cause a trace of disorder. His literary spirit just now was out of control. Thinking about it, this "Gu Guanchao" was really a big deal.
The woman's face was pale, and her eyes looking at Gu Chi were filled with lingering fear, which was the fear that ordinary people have when faced with a force that they are unable to resist. Fortunately, it was only for a moment. She took a breath and said, "Sorry, no offense intended. I came to see you on behalf of my sister and apologize. She has always been depressed about what happened back then."
Gu Chi calmed down his emotions and said indifferently: "She has never been disrespectful to me, so why should she apologize? If it was for your Feng family to add insult to injury, then the person who should apologize is your father. What does it have to do with her, a weak woman raised in her boudoir? ?”
Seeing Gu Chi taking steps to leave, the woman blurted out.
"Sister is dead!"
Gu Chi paused and said in surprise: "What?"
"The property returns to its original owner." The woman stepped forward, Opening her tightly clenched hands, a jade pendant lay quietly in her palm.
Looking at the jade pendant, Gu Chi's eyes showed a long-lost warmth.
His grandfather was fond of playing with jade. When he was young, he studied jade carving as a teacher. When his father was born, he came across a stubborn stone, and the result turned out to be a rare and beautiful jade. His grandfather was overjoyed and felt that this piece of jade was destined to be his father. It was carefully carved for several years and was used as a gift from his father to unite his literary heart. It was also given to his mother as a token of love by his father. Later, his mother sent it to the Feng family as a token of their marriage contract, hoping that the two families would get along well with each other. It has been growing up in the Feng family ever since In the hands of the lady. Wandered around and came back again.
Gu Chi accepted the jade pendant.
Ask: "How did your sister get there?"
He thought that the other party would die in childbirth. After all, childbirth is the most dangerous obstacle for an adult woman. Who knows that a woman will die in childbirth? He said: "My sister, my sister was eaten by someone."
Gu Chi almost let go in shock.
Bai Su, who was watching the gossip in secret, was almost exposed.
What is...
Being eaten? ? ?
Is this what he/she wants to eat? ? ?
"Sister, my life is hard. I often think that if I can get married to you, I might be able to escape." The woman looked at Gu Chi's reaction and raised her eyes to look into his eyes, "Gu Langjun Maybe you don’t know that my sister has disguised herself as a book boy many times , go to the wine shop you often go to try your luck. She met you three times. The first time she said, "This eldest son of the Gu family is a happy man, but he is an annoying knight." The second time she said, "Although he is a little bit cool, he is still chivalrous." Heart', she didn't say it the third time..."
But it is obvious that my sister is pregnant.
I have some yearning for my future husband and life.
Having met Gu Chi three times, she no longer pretends to go out and squat around, but seriously learns to be a female celebrity, and picks up books she didn’t like in the past. She seems to be calmer, but in fact she is more energetic.
The woman didn't quite understand why a boy she had only met three times could change her so much. My sister said: "Because life in the boudoir is as boring as stagnant water. We are all human beings. Others can laugh and curse, but we can't laugh and make a fuss. We hold our hands all the time and have to worry about everything... But Gu Guanchao is full of worry. Full of vitality, like the free crows out there. 】
Living with such people must be very lively.
But no one expected that something unexpected would happen as the wedding day approached.
The Gu family suffered a disaster and Gu Chi disappeared.
Their father arranged a new marriage for their elder sister, but her elder sister disagreed. Gu Chi's body has not been found yet, so how can we easily conclude that he is no longer alive? Even if Gu Chi is really dead, there is no need for the Feng family to find a new son-in-law right away.
Based on the friendship between the Feng and Gu families, apart from seeking revenge for the Gu family to investigate the truth, they should not react like this. It seems that the Feng family is unkind and unjust. The Feng family's daughter, who accidentally hit the lungs of the Feng family, was unexpectedly slapped by her biological father and given a ruthless warning: "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words!" You have no role to interfere in the important matters of marriage! Go back to your house! 】
Neither of the sisters knew why.
Until my sister accidentally discovered that her father was suspicious.
She was dedicated to the honor of her motherland by her biological father, and she also ran around and worked hard for the so-called restoration of the country. Only then did my sister slowly come back to her senses, who was responsible for the destruction of the Gu family. But what scares her is that her biological father is also involved.
My sister was upright and couldn't hold back her thoughts. She finally went to the Feng family's parents to get an answer, but she was deeply disappointed. Although the Feng family is not the mastermind, they are also accomplices: [Father, not to mention the many years of friendship between Master Gu and you, Grandpa Gu also promoted and cared for you back then. How could you be so, how could you be so ungrateful... and poisoned his entire Gu family? …] As expected, he received another slap.
My sister’s husband also thought that she was obsessed with her ex-fiancé. In addition, due to his romantic nature, my sister’s appearance was dull. As soon as the freshness wore off, he left her in the cold. It wasn’t until my sister got pregnant unexpectedly that she started to feel kind of good towards her...
The woman looked at Gu Chi, as if she wanted to find some attachment on his face, but no - her sister knew Gu Chi, but Gu Chi had never met her. The woman continued: "...With my father's running around, I finally found a stable place to stay. I was accumulating strength while waiting for the best opportunity. As a result, before the Xin country could destroy itself, Zheng Qiao's army arrived. Zheng Qiao's army Although the main force of the army is elsewhere, the pass here is crucial, and more than thirty sieges were launched..."
The defenders and attackers left behind countless corpses.
Both sides fought until rivers of blood flowed.
Zheng Qiao had plenty of food and grass, but the city did not last long.
Gu Chi had already guessed the ending after hearing this.
The woman said, her eyes wet.
"...Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses were brutal. Once the city was broken, the consequences would be disastrous. General Xin Guo chose to defend, but for some unknown reason, the food and grass supplies were not available. The food and grass in the city were consumed day by day, and in the end even the horses were killed to satisfy their hunger. .I am about to reach the end of the mountain. When the water ran out, someone suggested a sneak attack, which might be able to turn the tide of the war. In order to boost morale before setting off..."
Gu Chi interrupted her: "Stop talking about it."
It's so sad. , don’t force yourself to remember anymore.
But he wanted to know: "Did the Feng family's parents allow it?"
For the sake of the so-called restoration of the country, he gained a reputation as ungrateful and unkind, and sacrificed his daughter to show his loyalty, but as a result, his daughter ended up like this. Does he know or not? Or, do you have any regrets?
The woman said with tears in her eyes: "My father was hit by a stray arrow while defending the city. The wound festered with pus and the fever persisted. He died within a few days."
Hearing this, Gu Chi said, I don’t know whether to be sad or regretful.
The head of the Feng family died easily.
"What about you?" Gu Chi asked, "Where are you?"
Judging from the woman's dress and mental outlook, it is obvious that she is not an ordinary housewife, and she must have some skills.
The woman did not feel that Gu Chi's question was offensive. She said: "At that time, Shen Yu and I were elsewhere. By the time I knew what happened to my sister, it was too late. When I was packing up my sister's belongings, I found that she treasured the jade pendant very well. I think she liked you, but more than anything, I kept it as a relic of my sister, but I didn’t expect that you were still alive. When you were still alive, I felt strong I was so excited that I came to see you again for my sister..."
She added: "I didn't mean anything... I was just a little surprised when I saw you. You are nothing like what my sister said."
Auntie Gu Chi was said to be a free ranger full of vitality, but the Gu Chi she saw was gloomy, with an air of indescribable gloom and weakness all over his body. He lacked the free and cheerful spirit of a ranger, and instead seemed to have been lingering on the sickbed all year round. Sick people who will die soon.
“That’s it.”
Gu Chi's eyebrows softened visibly.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief: "My wish has been fulfilled, so I won't bother you anymore. Gu Langjun, take my leave."
Gu Chi said: "Goodbye."
The woman turned and walked towards Tao Yan's camp.
Gu Chi watched as her figure turned into a small dot and disappeared into the hazy night, until Bai Su suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost. Bai Su felt that she should say something to break the deadlock: "I didn't expect that someone would also like you."
Gu Chi: "...General Bai, there are still many things you don't know. In terms of being liked by others, it's not an exaggeration to say that when Gu went out when he was young, he threw a fruit car, and you can't compare."
Bai Su complained: "You also said it was Shaoshi."
It's young, but older may not be better.
Gu Chi is looking for an admirer now?
Gu Chi: "..."
He hates his scribe ways and listens to everything.
Seeing that Gu Chi's complexion had improved a lot, Bai Su asked him, "Master Gu, are you feeling better now?"
Gu Chi: "Your complexion has improved. I'm in a bad mood."
I don't know who had the bad idea and liked to make jokes to comfort people, but Bai Su's words really made him feel better. Bai Su suggested going back, and Gu Chi nodded, but not long after leaving, he noticed that Bai Su's eyes fell on his inscriptions from time to time, and he murmured in his heart. Gu Chi said: "You are very curious, why the monogram is 'Wangchao'?"
Bai Sudao: "The general just feels that with his talent as a military advisor, he must choose the word before condensing the literary heart. The literary heart monogram The words on it must be that...but the words on the seal that the military advisor usually stamps are not...it's a bit curious."
Gu Chi: "Because it has been changed."
Bai Su is even more curious: "Changed? But..."
Didn't the lord say that the Wen Xin Monogram/Martial Tiger Talisman cannot be changed? What? She had been scared once before.
Gu Chi said: "As long as you pay the price."
Hearing this, Bai Su no longer asked what the price was.
It's not a simple method to think about.
Bai Su: "...Since the military advisor hates the previous words so much, why can't he change the two words completely?"
Gu Chi looked at the irregular circles on the horizon. moon.
"Looking at the tide of the river with a pool of water, this is my name and former word. Later, I changed it to 'Looking at the tide of the river with a pool of water', not just to express determination or My ambition is that there are my blood relatives under the river tide."
"When the tide ebbs, I can see them."
Tao Yan and his men had destroyed Gu Chi's whole family, so how could they be so kind as to give him a way to survive? But in order to survive, he did not dare to erect monuments to his grandfather and father. Gu Chi was chased and fell off a cliff into the water. The charred corpses in that room were never laid to rest.
Bai Su heard Gu Chi murmuring.
"How can such a blood feud be resolved?"
Bai Su said: "No one is qualified to persuade you to let it go."
Hearing this, Gu Chi raised his thin lips. Smirk.
Asked: "Isn't that the one just now?"
_(:з ∠)_
I heard that the half-lake green delayed key has reached 3.24, but, there is a detail, Mr. General Yue It was February 15th in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty, which would be March 24th, 1103... What did Xuanfa think? Posting celebratory posters on his death anniversary, doing Qin Hui merchandise yesterday, and preparing to wish General Yue a happy birthday on March 24?
