Seduction

The night wind was blowing, it was neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, only the believers in Luohua Temple were burning incense and worshiping Buddha, without the children who came to play and the shining river lanterns, Gu Qing smiled wryly, this was just like the Luohua Temple in his memory .

He turned around a few doors before finding the place where he met Zhang Xirao for the first time. Gu Qing walked over, every step he took was like stepping on cotton, top-heavy, he didn't see Zhang Xirao, he wanted to look around to find her , but his body really didn't allow him, so he could only sit down on the river bank.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, she heard the sound of pattering footsteps, hurried and brisk, before Gu Qing turned her head, her eyes were covered with her hands.

Zhang Xirao's hands were cold, and he felt the warmth of Gu Qing's eyes all at once, and the ambiguous feeling when he touched Gu Qing became clearer, Zhang Xirao pursed his lips, and said with a smile, "Brother Qing, guess who I am? "

Gu Qing wanted to take her hand off, but when she thought it was the girl's hand, she put it down anyway.Zhang Xirao smiled behind him, and said, "Brother Qing, do you still remember my voice?"

Gu Qing heard her say these two sentences, she was no different from an ordinary northern girl, but he clearly remembered that day that the girl spoke with a foreign accent.

"Are you here?" Gu Qing turned her head even though she couldn't see, Zhang Xirao let go of her hand and sat beside him.

The wind blows Gu Qing's hair, the water waves reflect the moonlight, and everything in the world becomes warm and moist like jade in an instant, becoming the same color as the moonlight, and then it all slips into Gu Qing's eyes.

Zhang Xirao looked at Gu Qing, until Gu Qing turned her head to look at her, and then she fled away in a panic.

"Your father isn't home again?" Gu Qing asked.

"Probably." Zhang Xirao shrugged, "He's been too busy these days, and I'm not sure when he'll come back and when he'll leave. Catch me first." She smiled brightly.

"That's it." Gu Qing nodded, and took out the pink purse from her clothes, "Since Xiaosheng has come as scheduled, please take this purse back. I keep the girl's things, how decent is it. "

Zhang Xirao was taken aback by Gu Qing's words, and she didn't decide whether to take it back. She felt uncomfortable at first. She wanted to keep her purse from Gu Qing, thinking that since her loving brother could come to the appointment, it meant that he was with her heart. almost the same.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qing rushed to return it to her.

"You, what else are you going to do for me? If I send you off, I will send you off, can't I?" Zhang Xirao asked.

Gu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course, it's just..." Gu Qing wanted to say, but he already has someone he likes, but the girl didn't say anything clearly, how impolite it is for him to say so proactively, Gu Qing thought about it I had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Why does the girl want to see Xiaosheng again?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Xirao thought for a while, "I just want to chat with you. It's a comfortable chat in this river breeze and night."

"Last time I heard from you that your father has been an official in the court for many years and already has a mansion. Since the girl has such a good place to live, wouldn't it be more comfortable to have a wind at home?"

"There are too many rules in the family. And no one can talk to me openly, and the servants are all timid." Zhang Xirao pouted.

"They are servants after all, it's inevitable." Gu Qing smiled, the two chatted for a while, Gu Qing suddenly heard a foreign accent in her voice, sometimes, sometimes not, intermittently , can't make up the tune.

"Is the girl a local?" Gu Qing asked.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Zhang Xirao asked.

"Just ask, I'm from a foreign country." He said.

"I can't tell from what you're saying that you're from a foreign country. To be honest, I think everyone here speaks the same way. You're asking because of my voice, right?" Zhang Xirao was very alert, and asked Gu Qing back.

Gu Qing didn't hide it, nodded, "A little bit."

"Is it ugly?" After a while, Zhang Xirao asked cautiously in the Central Plains dialect, and the foreign accent was completely hidden.

"Hmm." Gu Qing nodded.He felt very familiar, but he couldn't catch the complete tone from the little girl's fragmentary words.

"I lived with my grandfather for a while when I was a child. My father said that there was a war here. He didn't have time to take care of me. It was too dangerous, so he asked me to go to my grandfather's place. But I was very young at that time, and I don't remember anything. Both my father and my grandfather He often said a lot of things to me, but I couldn’t understand them at all.” Zhang Xiluo couldn’t help laughing, “I knew it, wars come and wars go. Later, my father said that the rebels were eradicated and the world was peaceful, so he could take me home Before Zhang Xirao finished speaking, Gu Qing's face suddenly changed.

Her smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and she slowly retracted it.

"Brother Qing What's the matter with you?" She asked after a pause.

Gu Qing shook her head, forced a smile, nodded, and asked, "And then?"

"Then I came back here with my father. I was not very talkative when I was a child. Firstly, I was very afraid of grandpa, so I didn't talk much when I was with grandpa for a few years. Secondly, when I came back here, my voice was very loud. It's weird, others don't seem to want to play with me."

Zhang Xirao sighed, "To tell you the truth, although I am a young lady, I can't embroider and I can't compose poetry. But I can ride horses and shoot arrows. My grandfather taught me all those years ago. I forget it even if I want to." not drop."

"Forget what to do, you are so different, it is your advantage." Gu Qing said.

"How can there be?" Zhang Xirao leaned over and whispered in Gu Qing's ear, "I can't get married." She whispered, the foreign accent blurted out after she relaxed her guard, and the whole sentence "I can't get married" suddenly broke Entering Gu Qing's mind, knocked open the door of memory that was closed by Feng Xue.

A long, long time ago, when Chengfeng Hou took him to the battlefield when he was young, he hid behind Chengfeng Hou and watched him talk to the captives. It was the first time Gu Qing saw a barbarian. He was tall, dark-skinned, and Wrapped in animal skins, with animal teeth and bones hanging around their necks, and strange patterns painted under their eyes, they had fierce eyes, spoke in an incomprehensible language, cursed and roared at times, just like wild animals.

Fierce and strong is Hu Ren's first impression on Gu Qing. I didn't expect to hear Hu Ren's words after many years, but it came from such a simple and clean girl.

Before Gu Qing had time to react, she saw a flash of cold light, Qiao Sanniang arrived here at some point, drew out her scimitar and slashed at the two of them.

"Little girl, take your life!"

Gu Qing wanted to stand up immediately, but the wound dragged him to the ground fiercely. Zhang Xirao had never experienced such a thing before, and he didn't realize what happened for a moment. Naturally, he didn't make any movements. Gu Qing went out instinctively and grabbed Guo Zhang Xirao protected her with his body.

Only a moment later, the knife that should have fallen on him did not cut off.Gu Qing raised her head and saw that Zhan Xingruo caught Qiao Sanniang's saber through a long sword.

"Jun," Gu Qing was about to speak, but thought that the little girl was still by her side, so she couldn't hear Zhan Xingruo's identity, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

"Why are you here?" Gu Qing asked.

Zhan Xingruo not only came by himself, but also brought a group of guards, who immediately surrounded Qiao Sanniang.If Zhan Xing didn't look back, he just took advantage of the gap to throw back the clothes on his arms.

"It's cold, put it on." Zhan Xingruo said, and as soon as the words fell, he rushed into the battlefield sideways.

Qiao Sanniang was dressed in night clothes, and she recognized Zhan Xingruo before Zhan Xingruo recognized her. That day when Zhan Xingruo called the gun king a few times, Qiao Sanniang paid special attention to this young man. Yes, I didn't expect it to be quite powerful.

She sneered.

"There are two people who love each other, so there are still people peeping here." Qiao Sanniang swung a knife at Zhan Xingruo as she said.

Of course Zhan Xingruo didn't pay attention to it, but just now he felt that Qiao Sanniang was very similar to the woman he saw that day, but Qiao Sanniang started to speak. Zhan Xingruo thought that Qiao Sanniang couldn't speak.

"Are you at Gun King's that day?" Zhan Xingruo asked, the silver light flickered when the weapons collided.

"None of your business!" Qiao Sanniang said.

Although Qiao Sanniang is good at using poison, her weapons are mediocre. Zhan Xingruo took a sword unexpectedly and hit her wrist. She was a little unsteady for a while, but after a few rounds, she couldn't bear it anymore. The guard Watch the timing and gather around the past.

"Cut." Qiao Sanniang gritted her teeth, knowing that the situation was unfavorable, she dispersed the poison, and the yellow powder flew into the air instantly. By the time everyone opened their eyes again, Qiao Sanniang had already disappeared.

Zhan Xingruo then turned his head to look at Gu Qing.

The two only looked at each other, and Zhan Xingruo looked away.

Gu Qing let go of her hand, but Zhang Xirao kept her head down in his arms and refused to come out. Before Gu Qing could ask, she suddenly started sobbing.

"Don't go anywhere, go home quickly." Gu Qing said to her.But Zhang Xirao just cried and didn't answer anything. Gu Qing looked at Zhan Xingruo, but only received Zhan Xingruo's cold gaze. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how to say it, so she simply said what she had guessed directly in front of Zhan Xingruo. asked.

"Girl, who is your father and where is your home, shall we send you back?" he asked.

Zhang Xirao raised her head twitching.

"Is your father Zhang Taiwei?" Gu Qing asked.

When Zhan Xingruo heard it, he immediately turned his head and frowned slightly, showing his shock.

Zhang Xirao was also taken aback, but still nodded.

"We'll take you back." Gu Qing said, "Ah Li." He raised his head, if Zhan Xingruo hadn't been called that way before, he should be a little unaccustomed to it.

"how?"

"That person probably won't come back again, let the guards take her back, it's inconvenient for you and me."

"I understand." Zhan Xingruo nodded and gestured to the guards. The guards took orders and took Zhang Xirao home.

Just a few steps away from Gu Qing, Zhang Xirao burst into tears again. Gu Qing remembered to go and have a look, but the pain of the wound made it very difficult for him to even stand up. Zhan Xingruo waved his hand, "I'll go." He said.

Zhang Xirao turned around and kept crying. Zhan Xingruo came to her side, squatted down, and asked softly, "Why are you crying?"

Zhang Xirao didn't recognize Zhan Xingruo, but knowing that Zhan Xingruo had saved her just now, Zhan Xingruo's gaze towards the girl's family was still very gentle. Zhang Xirao looked up at him, and the crying gradually calmed down a little.

"I don't know why anyone wants to kill me," he said.

Zhan Xingruo smiled, and reached out to stroke Zhang Xirao's hair, "Don't be afraid, the guards will take you home safely."

"I, I," Zhang Xirao was gently comforted, suddenly felt more aggrieved, and started crying again, "But I have hurt brother Qing." She said.

It was the first time Zhan Xingruo heard someone call Gu Qing like that, and he was stunned.

"He's not injured, it's okay." Zhan Xingruo said, and added, "He won't blame you."

Zhang Xirao blinked, tears flickered on her eyelashes, she choked with sobs, suddenly lowered her voice, and pulled Zhan Xingruo's sleeve.

"Well, may I ask, are you and Brother Qing good friends?"

"Yes." Zhan Xingruo replied.

Zhang Xirao's voice was lowered, she tiptoed to Zhan Xingruo's ear, and asked again:

"Then, Brother Qing, does he have a sweetheart?"
