Seduction

The lights on the river were dotted with sparks, Gu Qing pushed the lights out, turned her head, and asked with a smile, "You also came out secretly?"

The girl nodded with the secret joy of meeting her accomplice, her watery eyes reflected the rippling river water.

"Girl doesn't go home so late, your father will be worried." Gu Qing said.

The girl curled her lips, and the light that was shining in her eyes just now gradually faded away.

"My father doesn't have time to talk to me." She said, "He's too busy. He doesn't accompany me, and he doesn't allow me to come out by myself."

"You have to understand him more. Lingtang is not here, he has to take care of you and support the family by himself. It is inevitable that he has no energy to take care of you." At a certain moment, Gu Qing's breathing suddenly became labored, and he was startled. He took a few deep breaths, and the trembling exhalation was lost in the evening wind.

"You're pretty good at talking." The girl smiled, her eyes were black and her eyebrows were bushy, and she spoke with a bit of an exotic tone.

"Girl, you've won the prize." Gu Qing blinked her eyes and looked at the swaying river.

"I didn't blame my father. Of course I know that he is doing it for my own good. My father cares about the country and the country, and he wants to restore the state. Since you are a scholar, you should understand this, right?" the girl asked.

Gu Qing was startled, smiled and said, "I know a thing or two."

"My father said that it is a critical moment for the country. As soon as he opened his eyes, he went to the court, and he didn't go home for a day. I haven't eaten with him for many days. Do you think the world is going to be chaotic? ?” The girl asked thoughtfully as she fiddled with the blades of grass on the bank.

Gu Qing sighed softly, when will the world be peaceful, "Your father has protected you very well." Gu Qing said, "Your father may not want you to worry about this. No matter what happens in the outside world, he will protect you well, Your world will always be peaceful."

"You can't talk like that." The girl said, "You are a scholar, so short-sighted, you can't do it."

Gu Qing smiled, "Does that girl have a good idea?"

"I should care about the world. I am also a citizen of Yuezhu. Does it mean that because I am a woman, the rise and fall of Yuezhu has nothing to do with me? Not really."

"What did your father teach you?" Gu Qing asked.

"That's right. My father is a high-ranking official in the court, but my house is smaller than those who are of lower rank than him, and there are fewer servants." The girl said, making a face at Gu Qing, "Otherwise I can't slip away." Come out. Thanks to my father's two sleeves."

Gu Qing was amused by her, and nodded, the wind was stepping on the surface of the river with cool water vapor, which slightly calmed down the burning hatred and despair in Gu Qing's heart.

"With an official like your father, Yuezhu will definitely get better and better."

The girl smiled triumphantly, "My father used to bring me and my mother here, but we haven't been here since my mother died. I feel that my father is not as kind as before."

"Your father also needs healing." Gu Qing said, remembering that his family of three came here once, maybe they worshiped the same Buddha with the girl's family, I don't know if the Buddha will feel pity for them when he sees them now.

"Well, I understand. I understand him." The girl smiled again, "When you recover from illness, I will ask my father to recommend you, and you will also come to the court to be an official."

"Me?" Gu Qing pointed at herself.

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness, girl, I don't need it." Gu Qing said.

"Why?" The girl was puzzled.

"The young student has little knowledge and talent, and besides, he is already terminally ill. I'm afraid he won't be able to devote himself to the great cause."

The girl paused, "My father knows many imperial physicians, and there is always one who can cure you."

"Gu Qing doesn't have to worry about Xiaosheng."

The girl looked at Gu Qing, accidentally fell into Gu Qing's deep eyes, and was stunned.

"Who, who is worried about you." The girl turned her head away and said.

Gu Qing smiled, thinking that girls really like to be shy for no reason. Looking back, she recalled Zhan Xingruo's flushed face, the soft touch of Zhan Xingruo's hair on her fingertips, and Zhan Xingruo's superficial kiss on her lips.

Gu Qing couldn't help smiling, as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Then, what's your name? I haven't asked you yet."

"Me? My name is Gu Mingqing." Gu Qing said, think about it, everyone who should know knows it, and it's not a secret anymore.It was originally given to the military division as a small gift.

"Then I, then I will call you Brother Qing from now on, is that okay?" The girl's voice suddenly softened.

It was the first time for Gu Qing to be called that, and she was a little embarrassed, so she could only smile and nod, "Yes."

As soon as the voice fell, shouts came from afar.

"Miss! Where are you, miss! If you don't go back, the master will be angry!"

The girl pricked up her ears like a rabbit, tightened her nose, and stood up reluctantly, "Why did you think of me at this time?"

"Ask you to go back?" Gu Qing asked.

"It's my family's servants who came to look for me. There are only two servants in total, all used to watch me." She said unhappy, "Brother Qing, I'm leaving today, can we see each other again? "

Gu Qing's body was exhausted, and he wanted to stand up, but his legs didn't work, so he had to raise his head, "I'll see you again if we are destined."

"That can't be done." The girl said, "Let's meet here in five days, okay?"

Gu Qing turned her head, "I'll try my best to come here."

"Give me a token." The girl blushed and stretched out her hand, Gu Qing was taken aback, "But I don't have anything on me."

The girl was a little anxious, and the servant's shouts were getting closer.

"Just your wooden hairpin," she said.

"That's not okay."

"Why not? When you come to see me in five days, I will return it to you. I don't want you."

Gu Qing touched the wooden hairpin, remembering that day in Gu's house, Wu Zheng said that Zhan Xingruo originally wanted to keep this hairpin for his sweetheart, but he took it away.

Thinking about it now, Zhan Xingruo should have given the hairpin to the wrong person.

"This is Gu's amulet, I can't give it to you."

The girl had no choice but stomped her feet anxiously, "Stingy." She said, and tugged at her waist as she spoke, only to see a small pink purse being pulled off.

"This is for you!" She threw it into Gu Qing's hand, Gu Qing caught it, held it in her hand and looked at it.

"Just one! Give it back to me next time I see you! Take your medicine! Don't die!" She said as she turned around and walked towards the servant.

"I'll see you then, Brother Qing!" She waved her hand, and when she saw the purse being caught by Gu Qing, the smile on her face hung up again.Gu Qing held the purse and waved to her.

The girl seemed to be wearing a small bell, and disappeared into the sea of ​​people with a series of joyful and crisp sounds.

Gu Qing struggled to stand up, he opened his hands, a thin layer of sweat broke out from his palms - a jade pendant was tied to a small pink purse, and a small word "Chapter" was engraved on the jade pendant.

The lights were dim, and the old gun king sighed, "It's getting late at night, do you really want to leave now?"

Qiao Sanniang smiled, "I always travel at night."

"You came back only to kill people, I advise you not to let your hands be stained with blood again."

"You know I won't listen to you." Qiao Sanniang laughed, "Why, do you regret it? Do you regret sending your two sons to the battlefield, or do you regret letting me go?"

The old gun king nodded, "If I really want to say it, I really regret letting you out."

Qiao Sanniang sneered, "Everyone in the world can have love and hatred, why can't I, Qiao Sanniang?"

"I didn't mean that." The gun king said.

"I kill people based on love and hate, and King Yama will let him ask if he wants to. If I can still come to see you alive after killing people this time, I can consider helping you get some good wine in the capital." Qiao Sanniang was saying While listening, she heard a light knock on the door, and walked in precariously, Qiao Sanniang immediately turned her face away.

Piao Yao looked at him, then turned to Gun King, "Master, Master Zhan still wants to see you."

The old gun king shook his head helplessly, "Tell him to come in."

Zhan Xingruo had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and walked forward quickly after hearing the call of the gun king. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes but could not hide his demeanor. Qiao Sanniang hadn't seen such a handsome young man for many years. The last time such a person appeared, It was still Xu Jinghe who was somewhat weak in writing.

Thinking about the burly men who don't understand the style beside her, Qiao Sanniang couldn't help but look at Zhan Xingruo more.

"Old general, the junior's surname is Zhan and his name is Li Xingruo. He is Yuezhu's military adviser. I'm here to see the old general."

"Ah." The old gun king waved his hand and asked everyone to go out, and retreated precariously, but Qiao Sanniang lingered on with great interest.

"I don't need an introduction." The old gun king said, "You almost risked your life after traveling thousands of miles, why did you come to find me?" He asked.

"Gu Qing's body was poisoned, her wounds were festering, and her whole body was weak. Yuezhu's imperial physician was helpless. He asked me to come to you." Zhan Xingruo said, Qiao Sanniang straightened up slightly, and her eyebrows under the black cloak frowned.

"I don't know how to see a doctor. It's my apprentice's ability. You can just ask him. He will go if he goes, and he won't go if he doesn't. I don't care. You came thousands of miles. If it's just for this matter, you can go back as soon as possible. .”

"One more thing!" Zhan Xingruo said.

"The old general has lived in seclusion for many years, but is he still willing to listen to the younger generation talk about the temple?"

Gun King looked up at Qiao Sanniang, but she still didn't seem to want to leave.

"Nowadays the chaotic ministers are in power, internal strife is endless, and external wars are endless. Heavy taxes and heavy kilns make the people miserable. Now my Yuezhu is full of mourning, and the country is destroyed but the country changes hands. If this continues, we are afraid that the world will perish." Zhan Xingruo bowed his head. , forehead resting on the floor.

"Nowadays the treacherous officials are in power, the emperor ignores the government, and only the crown prince wants to restore the prosperity of the world. But the only army is the one in the Northwest. The emperor does not fight with the crown prince. The barbarian army is overwhelming, and Yuezhu is in danger."

The old gun king interrupted him and smiled.

If Zhan Xing didn't know, he went in, raised his head, and frowned.

"Is this Feng Tang sent here for me? Lian Po is old and can't eat anymore." The old gun king waved his hand and said, "Also, you have to understand that it's not that the court doesn't use me, it's that I decided to leave Yes. You came from thousands of miles, as I said just now, you can take Pian Yao away, go back earlier."

Qiao Sanniang cast a glance at the old gun king, feeling bored, she turned and left.
