Chapter 31 Huo Shaoyun (Additional update! All kinds of requests!)
On Qingniugang, Qin Lang and Su Yinping were sitting side by side behind the house, one was talking quietly, and the other was listening quietly.
Looking casual, but the content of the conversation was somewhat heavy.
......
"...When the couple gave birth to Jin'er, decades had passed in Pingman Town, and Gujiapu had long been renamed Gujia, following the wishes of the late emperor. However, when Jin was six years old, that is, three years after my sister ascended the throne, the struggle in the court was far from as stable as it is now. The only son of the late emperor, the former prince and crown prince, was still in the open. Crazy use of various means to fight for the throne..."
"...In fact, when the late emperor left a legacy and allowed his dead brother's second daughter, my sister, to inherit the throne, everyone in the court was shocked. Although there have been several empresses in the history of the Zhou Dynasty, this kind of dismissal was the first It is really unacceptable for a prince to pass the throne to the second daughter of a deceased prince..."
"...No one knows why the late emperor did this. Anyway, there have been disputes about the throne since my sister was ten years old. He came back from a study tour at the age of three and has never stopped since he ascended the throne. The first five years were the most violent..."
"...and for the sake of the throne, the former prince, with the support of the regent, He did not hesitate to use all means, including perverse measures to obliterate the late emperor's wishes and weaken his influence! In addition, he knew that my sister had studied in the martial arts since she was a child, and might have joined a certain sect, so he had no influence on the martial arts. The unreasonable hatred of the sect is even worse than that of the late emperor..."
Qin Lang could roughly guess what happened next, even if Su Yinping didn't tell him.
The Gu family, who was originally pardoned by the late emperor, was finally forced to clear up old scores by the crazy former prince. In the name of "putting down the chaos for his father", together with other descendants of the sect who were pardoned in Pingman Town, , was brutally destroyed!
Among them, when the Gu family was exterminated, Gu Jin was just six years old at that time.
In order to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, little Gu Jin hid in a donkey cart and fled from Yuezhou, where the Gu family was located, to the capital. He happened to faint from hunger in front of the house of Su Yinping, the princess of Qingli Princess. , was picked up by the sixteen-year-old princess, and later hid it when the officers and soldiers were "checking for leaks and filling the gaps". From then on, Gu Jin's life was completely saved.
This is why Gu Jin wants to be Su Yinping's personal guard, wants to repay her kindness, and says something like "my life belongs to my wife".
"Former Crown Prince, how are you doing now..."
"Eh?"
After listening to Su Yinping's story about Gu Jin, Qin Lang was quiet for a long time, and finally asked such a question.
Su Yinping was a little surprised, but still replied:
"According to the people in the palace, he seems to be a little crazy now. He has been living in the house of his deceased mother, the Queen Mother. In the Palace of Fortune and Longevity, but since he behaved like this, the power of the regent who originally supported him has grown stronger... It is said that the most important worry for my sister now is the regent."
"The regent. ..."
Qin Lang remembered that he had asked the storyteller why the emperor only made his sister a princess and not a prince. The storyteller said that it was related to a court battle and to protect his sister. Qin Lang still thought it was Pretending to be mysterious.
Now that I hear Su Yinping mention these things in the court personally, I may not believe it but I have to believe it.
However, the reason why Qin Lang asked about the prince's news now was not because he was considering the messy affairs in the court that were far away from him.
He just felt that since a girl who valued love and justice and had a stubborn temper had kept "repaying kindness" in her heart at a young age, then... what about "revenge"? ...
For such a girl, hatred and kindness are probably equally unforgettable...
For such a young girl to volunteer to learn martial arts in Biluo Valley, maybe... it's not just to repay kindness. …
——————————
The past must pass.
The future is still the future.
After hearing about Gu Jin’s past, although Qin Lang understood a certain girl better, his current daily life seemed to have not changed much.
The girls' injuries still need to be healed, and Qin Lang's life with the girls will continue.
It's just that now it's more regular than before.
In addition to practicing and cooking every day, Qin Lang added two new fixed tasks in his life, namely, teaching Su Yinping knife skills during the day and accompanying Gu Jin to walk horses at night.
......
The latter is also a helpless move. Since that night by the river, the little mare Zhen Ji has made it a regular activity to go out and walk around the world at night, and no one is watching. , Gu Jin is alone, so what?
Although Qin Lang felt that the way Zhen Ji walked around every night, it seemed more and more like she was looking for something "invisible", but it was not good to say it in front of Gu Jin, lest it make her even more scared. .
Of course, even if it’s night, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the middle of the night.
......
In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the fire clouds dye most of the sky in the distance red, like a handful of cinnabar falling into the blue spring, blooming in the high sky with incomparable splendor Blurred brilliance.
The two of them occasionally strolled under the brilliant sunset, and Qin Lang began to tell Gu Jin some stories about his childhood to pass the time.
Qin Lang's childhood was actually quite dull. At first, it was just him and his senior sister. Not only did a certain girl seem not to be interested, but the more she talked, the more she became a bit indifferent to Qin Lang.
So later on, Qin Lang tried his best to talk about things other than senior sister.
Although Qin Lang only said that he and his senior sister lived in the mountains, and did not say that it was the Tianshan Mountains, it did not affect the storytelling. Things like snow leopards, glaciers, snow lotuses, etc. could still be told to Gu Jin. listen.
What Gu Jin loves to hear most is about Xiao Fei Lian.
......
The so-called Xiao Feilian is actually a nickname for the white cat.
Gu Jin always liked cats, and the white cat raised by her senior sister also had many interesting stories, and the most magical thing about her was that she understood human nature.
"Smarter than Zhen Ji?" Only then can she often bring back some important news from all over the world."
"Then she...maybe she is also a descendant of the Yunzhou Monster Clan..."
"What do you call it... ”
Qin Lang couldn't laugh or cry:
"Don't talk about that cat. Zhen Ji is not necessarily a descendant of the demon clan. We have already said it. Legends are legends. There is no need to take them too seriously, okay?"
< br>"Oh..."
Gu Jin nodded, and then while holding Zhen Ji, he moved slightly closer to Qin Lang beside him.
Qin Lang noticed this, but paid more attention to her little actions than before.
Because Qin Lang understands that after experiencing so many things she shouldn't have experienced since childhood, a small step for a girl to approach outsiders may be a big step for her in her heart.
So, whether he was impulsive or prepared, Qin Lang walked side by side with the girl who quietly approached him under the night sky, while also putting his arms around her slender waist.
“?!”
“…”
In addition to the soft warmth of the girl’s body, there was also a clear hint of instinctive struggle coming from the palms of the hands. move.
But this wisp of struggle quickly disappeared and melted like a cube of ice in someone's strong hand.
“…”
“…”
In the next scene, neither of them spoke, and they were still walking quietly under the warm sky. , only the white horse beside him looked around from time to time, and from time to time glanced meaningfully at Qin Lang's big hand on Gu Jin's waist. Until…
Swish——!
“?”
“!”
The two men stopped almost at the same time. Qin Lang frowned and looked sideways at the woods not far away:
“Miss Sumire, have you seen it?”
"Hmm... um..."
Gu Jin's voice was small and pitiful. Qin Lang turned around blankly, and then he felt that his waist was already surrounded by Gu Jin's two delicate arms, and his hands were somewhat skilled. The ground gripped his clothes tightly again.
"No, it seemed like a big white mouse jumped over just now..."
It's useless to say more. The girl lowered her clothes and buried her head close to Qin Lang's shoulder. , it seems that he has no intention of raising his head tonight.
“……”
Qin Lang was a little amused. This guy got intimidated too quickly. It seemed that he really couldn't tell her anything about monsters in the future.
But just now, at the end of the dazzling sunset light, there was indeed a flash of white.
The most direct evidence is that Zhen Ji on the side has become excited, then twists her furry hips and rushes straight into the forest.
“Zhen Ji!”
Da da da——
Otherwise, it was indeed a good horse. As soon as it started running, Qin Lang wouldn't have time to chase it, and the little mare had already disappeared into the woods.
What neither Qin Lang nor Gu Jin expected was that when they came to the edge of the woods and were about to go in to find her, Zhen Ji herself came back with elegant steps.
"Zhen Ji? Where have you gone?"
"~"
The little mare can't speak, but there is clearly a trace of it in her elegant steps. They were so happy that soon after, Qin Lang and Gu Jin suddenly discovered that Zhen Ji ran back with something hanging in her mouth!
It was a ball of white hair that was hairier than her butt, but only about a foot wide.
"Monster...monster..."
A certain girl poked out an eye from Qin Lang's shoulder, and was so confused that she couldn't hum a complete word.
But Qin Lang is different.
For the first time, he felt that the white fur ball looked familiar. When he took another look, a very familiar title blurted out:
"Ball?!"
"Meow~~!"
Almost instantly, the ball of white hair in the horse's mouth let out an enchanting meow. Two pairs of sapphires After his big eyes emerged from the fur balls, they flashed excitedly at Qin Lang twice, and then glared fiercely at Zhen Ji's horse face.
“Ouch——!”
“…”
Qin Lang never expected that this guy would actually appear next to him almost a month after he went down to Tianshan Mountain.
After seeing the rough appearance of the furball, Gu Jin finally raised her face and tugged on Qin Lang's sleeve:
"Qin Lang...this...is a cat Or a fox?”
“Her name is Tuan Tuan, the one I told you was Xiao Feilian raised in the mountain.”
Qin Lang introduced the characteristics of the white fur ball familiarly. Then he stretched out his hand and successfully took the fur ball’s body from Zhen Ji’s mouth:
"This thing looks like a cat or a fox, especially the tail, it looks like a fox. It's very big and fluffy. When it's wrapped up, it looks like a ball."
"Meow——~"< br>
Tuantuan seemed to be able to understand Qin Lang's words, but didn't mind at all. Instead, she acted coquettishly in Qin Lang's arms for the first time, looking up at Qin Lang's face and her four pink claws. He slowly moved it, then took one out, gently pressed it on Qin Lang's face and rubbed it.
"Tsk, don't make trouble, there is someone here..."
Qin Lang gave this guy a loving look, but did not notice that the cat's eyes suddenly dimmed quickly. , after being almost sluggish for a moment, it returned to clear and transparent.
But the look in those big eyes seems to have become a little subtle...
However, for something so subtle to the extreme, let alone Qin Lang, as a personal guard, Gu Jin also has a keen eye. Didn't notice.
Two people, one was immersed in the surprise of getting together with his "old friend", and the other, who originally liked cats, was quickly attracted by Tuantuan's appearance.
“This cat likes me tossing her...”
As he spoke, Qin Lang turned the little white cat over and patted her fluffy pussy. Meow.
——————————
At the same time, there was a cave somewhere on the Tianshan Mountains covered by fire clouds.
On a stone lotus platform that is usually used for meditation, there is a beautiful woman dressed in white. Her mature and beautiful face is full of blush, just like the burning clouds in the sky at this moment.
“Huh…~”
“Ha…~”
At this time, she was not sitting on the lotus platform as she had recently been recovering from her injuries. Instead, her forehead was covered with fragrant sweat, her red lips were spraying out the orchid hot air, and she was kneeling weakly on the lotus platform.
The full moon rises high.
And through the thin cloud gauze, you can actually see a few faint red palm prints on the jade-colored full moon.
"Rolling eyes...! I asked you to go down the mountain to make a career in the world...but you are flirting with women everywhere...this pervert...well~..."
Before the murmured words were finished, the woman's charming expression Her body trembled again, and while there was another red handprint, the woman's dark eyes also flashed a flash of blue.
I don't know how many times I repeated this. When I finally stopped, the woman's face was blushing and hazy, and her eyes were full of water.
"Damn it... necromancy is too difficult to persist... otherwise... hum..."
Her eyes finally stopped flashing blue, but her whole body just clenched her silver teeth. , fell into a deep sleep on the lotus platform.
At this point, the cave returned to silence, except for the occasional inexplicable sound of dripping water, dripping from the stone lotus platform under the woman's seat towards the ground...
Tick tock~
Tuantuan is everyone’s old friend. After much thought, I still can’t bear to abandon her
