King's Landing GL

Chapter 51 One Difference Two Wide

It was already evening when I arrived at the barracks, and the setting sun was blushing and drunk on the other side of the mountain.I entered the barracks, and the sound of the drill inside made my blood boil. I think this is indeed a place that makes me forget the past.

Zhen Guojun is under the joint control of Li Wu and General Jing Chong. When I went to the case of the army, I found "Gu Congnan", so there are no kings and ghosts here.

According to the law, I was classified as a forward, and the official was ranked seventh.At night Li Yi came outside my tent and asked me:

"Your Majesty, I will ask to see you later."

I was in a daze holding the military uniform I had just received, and finally came back to my senses after being shouted by Li Yi, saying:

"come in."

Li Yi wore a navy blue military uniform, opened the curtain and walked in. When he saw me, he was about to salute, so I waved my hand:

"No need."

I have made peace with Murong Bai, so naturally I am no longer a prince.Speaking of it, I should be the one who saluted Li Yi, the third-rank major general.

Li Yi still saluted me:

"Your Majesty will always be Your Majesty."

"..." I sighed, thinking in my heart that after a few days, when Murong Bai announced the matter of reconciliation to the world, I would no longer need to explain it.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Ke Zhi just learned that His Majesty has come to the barracks, and this place may..."

"Don't, don't..." I waved my hand and frowned, "My name is Gu Congnan now, don't call me Your Majesty."

"Can......"

"If you really feel awkward, just call me 'Mr.' as you did six years ago."

Go back to the very beginning, as if nothing had changed.

Li Yi was silent for a while, and said:

"gentlemen......"

I just laughed.

Li Yi continued:

"It might be inappropriate for Mr. to live here, why don't you just..."

"No," I smiled and looked at the tent that was less than ten feet in radius, "I like it very much."

The place I used to live in was so wide, but am I still the only one in the end?Now narrow it down, maybe you won't be lonely anymore.

"But..." Li Yi wanted to say something, but I interrupted:

"I'm new here, and I don't understand some things, so I hope you can take care of me. The rules in the camp..."

Li Yi nodded and said to me:

"Don't worry, sir. There is no fighting right now. The camp drills for two hours every morning and evening. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there is a rest for bathing. After registration, you can go home. When the day comes, you can return to the camp. Alcohol and gambling are prohibited in the army. ..."

I listened to Li Yi's words and nodded from time to time.By the time Li Baiyi finished explaining, it was already too late.After Li Yi bid farewell to me, he went back to his tent, and I, who was exhausted, washed up early and went to bed to rest.

Ghost Valley Mountain Tongtian Peak

"You said...they got divorced?" Liu Rufeng frowned and asked Heng Yi.

Nod a little sideways:

"News from 71."

Liu Rufeng frowned and said:

"So you're in the army now?"

"Yes." Heng Yidao said, "Ever since Senior Brother...betrayed from Guigu Mountain..."

paused:

"The current alias is Gu Congnan."

"Gu Congnan?" Liu Rufeng smiled, "It's not the name I gave him back then."

Heng Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly knelt down:

"The head! Hengyi begged the head to let senior brother..."

Liu Rufeng raised his hand to stop what he was going to say, and asked:

"Have you ever been to Thinking Cliff?"

Heng Yi was taken aback:

"No, it's a forbidden place in the door, and the disciple has never been there."

Liu Rufeng looked out of the window, the clouds in the sky were close at hand, and he remembered a thing from a long time ago:

"Speaking of it, I'm actually not the best candidate to be Guiguzi back then."

Hengyi didn't speak.Liu Rufeng continued:

"In the past, Guiguzi was a vertical art, and only three direct disciples were accepted under his sect...I am ranked second. Do you want to know who the other two are?"

He shook his head sideways.

"My senior brother is Xiang Yan, the king of Chu who has passed away, and my senior brother... is Xuan Yi."

Heng Yi looked up at Liu Rufeng in surprise.

"Senior brother Xiang Yan went down the mountain with his sword in his early years and entered the state of Chu. Later, he became an official and worshiped Shangqing. Once he ruled the world, he finally became the king and hegemony. He was the best candidate to inherit Guiguzi, but he was blinded by the power... ....Later he was expelled from the Guigu sect. Actually, I can understand him..." Liu Rufeng said softly, "Because I fell in love with someone just like him. The only difference is that he loves The one I love loves him too, and the one I love...never loved me."

"So later, my brother was willing to rebel against Hongyan and established the Chu State. But I... was hurt by love and went back to Guigu Mountain and became Guiguzi."

"Then... what about Uncle Xuan Yi?" Heng Yi asked carefully, in his memory, he had never seen Xuan Yi and Xiang Yan in Guigu Mountain.

"Xuan Yi...he was imprisoned in Siguoya for 15 years." Liu Rufeng said lightly, "In the past, Xuan Yi was brought up by senior brother Xiang Yan, but later because the senior brother refused to give up the person he loved and was nostalgic for the world He was expelled from Guigu Mountain. Sylphy... contacted me and sent my mortal enemy to bloodbath Guigu Mountain—that was the annihilation of Guigu Mountain 23 years ago."

Hengyi was too shocked to speak.

"As for your master, Su Yu, that is the daughter of my master's old friend, who was later accepted into the sect. After the Miemen case, a large number of capable children from Guigu Mountain...Even my master could not escape bad luck. Later, I obeyed my master's order Inherited Guigu Mountain to teach the vertical technique, Su Yu inherited the sword-holding elder to teach the horizontal technique. Xuan Yi was later captured, and I imprisoned him in Siguoya for 15 years... Now, do you know the reason?"

"But what does this have to do with senior brother?" Heng Yi asked puzzled.

Liu Rufeng smiled secretly:

"Because he is Xiang Yan's eldest daughter, Xiang Yi."

"Xiang Yi... the eldest daughter?" Heng Yi was too shocked to speak.

"When she was born, Xiang Yan made a divination for her. The divination showed that she would have a life-and-death calamity 27 years later, so she entrusted her to me. She has an odd fate. I asked him to pretend to be a boy since he was a child. The yang is against the yin, hoping to resolve the calamity of life and death. But now, it seems that there is no escape."

Heng Yi digested the news for a long time, and then stammered:

"Then...the senior brother..."

Liu Rufeng took down a sandalwood box and handed it to Hengyi:

"If one day I drive the crane west, you will hand this thing over to Zongheng."

He took it with both hands and nodded.

Liu Rufeng said again:

"Go down."

"promise."

After Hengyi left, Liu Rufeng summoned Zonger Er, the examiner of Guigushan's entrant disciples.

"Disciple Zong Er pays respects to Master."

"Get up." Liu Rufeng said lightly.

"Thank you, Master."

"How long have you been back?" Liu Rufeng asked.

"It's been three days." Zong Er said.

Liu Rufeng turned his head to look at Zong Er who was wearing Guigu's white robe, and smiled:

"Read the files of Guigu Zongheng."

"No." Zong Er saluted, took a step back, and said, "Gui Gu Zongheng, the great disciple who entered the house in Guigu Mountain, worshiped Guigu No. 370 on the first day of October in the year 20 of the Guigu Year. Vertical and horizontal, learning vertical technique.

Guigu 380 March 21th, the [-]th year, he crossed his sword and went down the mountain, entered Qin State, and was named Mr. Qin State.On April [-] of the same year, she married Qin Wang Murong Bai in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Qin Palace.

In May, he went to Chu State as the King of Qin, and later investigated his background as the Guigu intelligence agency, but the elders with swords stopped him, but to no avail.

In July, Qin began to implement the reform.

In April of the ninth year of Guigu 380, the army rations were checked in Mingming of Qin Dynasty, and the powerful and powerful hated it.

In July, there was viciousness in his body, and he was ill for more than a month.

In September, something happened in Qin Wang's palace, Qin Wang Murong Bai Han's illness worsened.The half-life skill of crossing the ghost valley can be saved by eating Gu.

In October of the first year of Guigu 390, Qin's reforms began to bear fruit, and the dignitaries tried to assassinate them, but failed and were seriously injured.

In April of the second year of Guigu 390, Zong moved away from the Hall of Eternal Life.

In August of the fourth year of Guigu 390, he went with Su Yu to rescue Xiang Yao and Shan Hanfei.

In October, he reconciled with Murong Bai, king of Qin, and joined the army.The official is from the seventh rank, and he is a forward. "

Rufeng Liu:

"What's the result of the assessment?"

"Qualified, you can return to the mountain."

"In that case, let her know."

"promise."

I saw Zong Er on the night of the third day when I came to the barracks. He sneaked into my tent at night, and I almost raised my sword to attack him in shock.After seeing my surprised look, he smiled on his expressionless face. I was stunned for a long time, and hesitated:

"Zong Er? Why do you..."

As the examiner of the disciples of Guigu Mountain who crossed the sword and went down the mountain, why did he come here?

Zong Er saluted me and said:

"Zong Er has met the elder brother."

I waved my hand in embarrassment:

"I... I am no longer... a member of Guigumen."

"The head of the sect didn't agree, but the elder brother is still the elder brother." Zong Er said flatly.

I was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable: "Master...hasn't he ever admitted that I betrayed Guigushan? I...are still a member of Guigumen?!"

"If not, how could 71 stay with senior brother?" Zong Er reminded me.

After I suddenly realized it, I couldn't believe it. After a long pause, I asked him again:

"Why did you come here today?"

Zong Er unloaded the long thing on his back and unwrapped the cloth strips. My heart trembled, and I stuttered a little when I saw the black and traceless long sword in his hand:

"Zhan... Zhanlu?"

He got Zhan Lu!Zhan Lu Sword! ——That is the sword of the past dynasties of Guigu Mountain. It is the sword that Ou Yezi spent three years forging in the past. It is the hero of hardware and the essence of the sun.

——It was also the sword that I handed back to Guigushan when I descended the mountain at the age of 17.

"Master asked me to ask my brother a word."

"what?"

"Master asked senior brother, do you know why you passed the Guigu Zhanlu sword to senior brother?" Zong Er looked directly at me, raised his hand and handed the sword to me.

I was terrified all over, and finally understood why Liu Rufeng passed this sword to me when I started to practice swords. It turned out that he had expected this day!

The king has the right way, the sword is on his side, and the country is prosperous.

The ruler has no way, the sword flies away, and the country is ruined.

It is called Zhanlu.

Murong Bai and I, Liu Rufeng expected it early in the morning!

Zong Er saluted me and said:

"Guigu Mountain No. 20 Guigu Zongheng, the third-generation Guiguzi's house-breaking disciple, takes over the order!"

I trembled and knelt down subconsciously:

"The disciple is here."

"Ghost Valley is vertical and horizontal. At the seventeenth year, he crossed the sword and went down the mountain to enter the Qin State. During the Qin State, he reformed for three years to seek wealth and strength. This is horizontal. Using the power of the king to eliminate redundant personnel is vertical. The battle between Qin and Chu, Qin Sheng, proved The merits of Guigu vertical and horizontal... Guigu Mountain has been built for more than [-] years.

It has been more than six years since Guigu Zongheng crossed the sword down the mountain, and his body has merit, and his skills have their uses. Zonghengshu is the foundation of the school.Examination results - passed. Zong Er stepped forward and handed the sword back to me, saying, "You can take the sword back to the mountain." "

The weight in my hands and the voice still echoing in my ears are telling me one thing: I have been recognized by Guigu Mountain and I am qualified to return to the mountain.

The disciples of Guigu in the past generations will hand in their swords and go down the mountain to practice. After the examiner recognizes what they have done after going down the mountain, they will be judged as qualified after some actions. , as a qualification for returnable mountains.

"I......"

"Congratulations, senior brother." Zong Er patted my shoulder and said to me.

I took a deep breath and said:

"I can't go back yet."

Zong Er was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said:

"Senior brother is already qualified, why do you want to stay?"

I tightened the sword in my hand, and a cold and familiar feeling spread from my palm to my heart. In a trance, I thought of a person, a cold and hard woman.

"I can't go back just yet...can't."

Zong Er was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"Because of King Qin?"

I nodded, and said dumbly:

"I...can't break my promise to her."

Although I don't know if she still remembers the promise I made.

"As an examiner, I'm just here to let you know that you've passed the test and you can go back to the mountain. The decision is in your hands. As a junior, I can't persuade you. Others can't say anything about the two of you," Zong Er said flatly.

Hearing this, I smiled:

"You are still the same as Yokoichi, just as serious."

Zong Er looked away unnaturally.

"Okay, I didn't tease you again."

"I'll go first." Zong Er said, "It's not convenient in the barracks."

I was right after thinking about it, so I nodded:

"Then let's get together next time."

Zong Er walked out, turned his back to me and said softly:

"Brother, you will inherit Guiguzi sooner or later, you should know."

"..."

"It's very self-respecting." He said.

"it is good."

After Zong Er left, I sat under the lamp, looking down at the long sword in my hand.Strictly speaking, I have already forgotten many things, but today when Zong Er handed the sword into my hand, I suddenly realized the burden on my shoulders.

I admit that my master Liu Rufeng and I have long had a rift because of the matter of the King of Chu, but the relationship between master and apprentice for more than ten or twenty years is unbearable after all.Now the words he asked Zong Er to ask me made me suddenly understand something, something I didn't want to admit.

For example, why did he want me to never remember the past with Su Yu and be separated from her.You want me to cross my sword and go down the mountain to enter the state of Qin and marry Murong Bai...

Liu Rufeng, Liu Rufeng.

I held Zhan Lu, and remembered the scene when Liu Rufeng taught me how to use a sword on the Tongtian Peak of Guigu when I was a child, and my heart sank, I was afraid that Liu Rufeng would also lie to me.

How many people can I trust?

Qin Palace Yong'an Hall

Night, long night.

Xie Changjun cautiously came to the rockery in the backyard, and a man wearing a silver mask turned his back to him.Xie Zhangjun paused, and said:

"First... sir."

The masked man turned around with a smile on his lips:

"how?"

"Mr. Hui...I...I have consummated with...the king...as the master ordered. The child...is mine."

"Are you sure?" The masked man's expression was dull, but there was a smile on his face, "Your species?"

Xie Changjun nodded:

"determine."

The masked man smiled in satisfaction. He took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and handed it to Xie Zhangjun, saying:

"Put this daily in your child's mother's meals, understand?"

Xie Zhangjun froze, a little shocked:

"This this......"

"Don't worry, I won't let her die, how can I let her die." A sternness flashed across the man's eyes, "I haven't finished enjoying it, how can I die, don't you think so?"

"Then...then this..."

"This?" The man raised his eyebrows, "It's just a kind of Gu, which can only eat human bones and blood after accumulating day and night."

Xie Changjun took two steps back in fright:

"me......"

The man smiled:

"The game has just entered the game, your king will not die early - I will let her live for at least three to five years."

Only in this way can he taste the pain he has experienced.

Xie Changjun's eyes widened, his hands trembled, and he refused to take the medicine for a long time.

The man said with great interest:

"Defy me?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhangjun's pupils dilated slightly, as if remembering something terrible.He finally took the medicine bottle with trembling hands, biting his lower lip and trying not to tremble.

He still has humanity, and he doesn't want to treat her like this. They are all pawns, pawns in the life-and-death battle between the masked man and the king.

No choice.

"Very good." The man glanced at him with a smile, turned around and fell into the darkness. Xie Zhangjun stared blankly at the place where he disappeared, as if he was wondering whether his appearance was a dream of his, but what was in his palm But she was telling him that what was said just now was true.

Imperial study room

Gan Luo stood quietly at His Highness, waiting for Murong Bai to speak.He has known Murong Bai for many years. To a certain extent, he probably understands her, but this "understanding" is sometimes useless, because Murong Bai is a woman first, and then she is a king. people.Speaking of normal people's thinking, a woman should at least pay attention to the fact that she is pregnant.But now Murong Bai is much thinner, Gan Luo is silent, he doesn't know why Murong Bai called him here late at night, but if Murong Bai doesn't say anything, he can't ask.

After a long time, when Gan Luo was standing there, his legs felt a little sore, only then did he hear Murong Bai say flatly:

"What is the Prime Minister's opinion on Wang Jun's joining the army?"

Gan Luo quickly ran through a series of things that happened between Murong Bai and Wang Jun recently. Although there are many things that he doesn't know very clearly, there are many people in the palace, so he always knows something. Yes, recalling the scene when the king resigned from the army in the court hall that day, Gan Luo understood a little bit, and he said calmly:

"His Majesty Wang Jun has Daqin in his heart."

With Daqin in mind?

Murong Bai chuckled lightly, saying that she has Da Qin in her heart?If she really has such a heart, how could it be possible to spend six years torturing each other with her?

"Really?" Murong Bai said indifferently, "In the army... How is it?"

"Back to the king, your Majesty's alias Gu Congnan, according to the martial arts officer from the seventh-rank young general, as a forward." Gan Luo said.

He is a little subtle in his heart, he is the prime minister, he knows the affairs of the military department are good, but Murong Bai is definitely not indifferent to Wang Jun, he is really puzzled by asking questions like this knowingly now.

Wang's mind is the most difficult to guess.

"Speaking of it... Gu should call you 'Teacher'." Murong Bai said another paragraph.

Gan Luo shivered, and bowed respectfully to Murong Bai:

"Your Majesty is being polite."

When the master was there, he and another adult were appointed as the eldest daughter of the emperor, but when Murong Bai ascended the throne, he picked a fault and killed another Taifu. like grown-ups.But now Murong Bai suddenly called him "Teacher", which really made him panic.

Murong Bai glanced at Gan Luo lightly, and said leisurely:

"Is the Taifu familiar with King Qi?"

Gan Luo's body froze. The day before yesterday, he accepted King Qi's appointment and went to have a small gathering with him. Murong Bai knew about it even though he kept it a secret. Gan Luo was a little startled, he didn't know that Murong Bai was cultivating it alone. How strong is the power independent of the court? Fortunately, he is considered a loyal minister and knows what he can do and what he can't do.After all, Murong Bai was taught by him, and he had surpassed countless students. He knew too well that it was Murong Bai's iron-blooded method that was already Wang.

So he lowered his eyebrows and said honestly:

"It was just a few drinks with King Qi the day before yesterday."

"What does Ai Qing think of King Qi?"

"Be brave but not scheming, don't be a threat." Gan Luo said respectfully, paused, and remembered something, "But the one next to King Qi, who is wearing a silver mask to cover half of his face, is probably not easy."

Murong Bai smiled, dispelling his doubts about Gan Luo.She knew about the counselor next to Murong Yu, if Gan Luo hid this matter today, the Gan clan might not escape bad luck in the future.

She doesn't think she is a good person, and she will never stay by her side for uncertain factors.The position she stands in is too high and too cold, if she lives without care, she will die without a place to bury her.

"Advisor..." Murong Bai thought for a while, but he didn't continue this topic, but continued with the matter about Wang Jun joining the army just now, "The matter of Wang Jun joining the army..."

She tapped on the table and just said lightly:

"She is still the king now."

Gan Luo made up his mind, and decided to go to the military headquarters to "do some sorting" after dawn. He understood what Murong Bai meant, a king is still a king, even though he has joined the army, his status is still there.He heaved a sigh of relief, in this way, it may be difficult for His Majesty Wang Jun to go to the battlefield...

"Give me a free job." Murong Bai was silent for a while and then said.

She wanted to join the army but didn't want to see her, so she followed her.It's just a narrow escape on the battlefield... She can't allow her!

She subconsciously caressed her already slightly swollen abdomen, her usually clear eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a little dark, she tightened her palms, exhaled a foul breath, and said to Gan Luo:

"Go down."

"promise."

The moon is so big and round tonight, Murong Bai came out of the imperial study room, walked alone under the moonlight, and unknowingly walked up to the moon-watching tower.She was dressed in a black royal color, and stood tall on the open pavilion, leaning on the railing, with her back to the moon, and half of the royal capital could be seen from her perspective.She looked far, far away, as if someone was about to return.However, after looking for a long time, she can still see the person she wants to see. Her fingers are slender and white, and she slowly lifts up, blocking a piece of moonlight, almost transparent.Her eyes were a little dazed, Qin was a martial artist, she was born in a royal family, she had been on the battlefield, and because she had been there, she knew where it was.There is a poem written very well: In the Qin Dynasty, the moon was bright and the Han Dynasty was at the pass, and the long march of thousands of miles was completed at the end of the journey.

She suddenly regretted letting Su Yu go without telling that person, but at the same time, she knew that it would be hard to win people's hearts if she didn't do that. She didn't want that person to be in any danger, but in fact she always seemed to put her Push into danger.For the first time, she hated her sanity.

If she is not so rational, can she just run to the barracks to tie the man back, give her a slap to wake her up, and stop hating herself so much, because she didn't kill her uncle.

But she is too sensible.

Reasonable, when the man said in the court that he would resign to serve the country in the army, her first thought was joy, and then worry and anger.That's right, even though she cared about her, as a king for too long, she was used to putting state affairs first most of the time... most of the time.

Balance, trade-offs.Although she learned to make a choice when she was a child, she still hesitated when it came to choosing between the world and her lover.In the past, she chose the world as a matter of course, but now...she is hesitating at home.She even had a plan to give up everything and hide in the mountains with that man.

She shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: Murong Bai, is this the result of 29 years of nurturing you in the whole Qin Kingdom?For love... want to let go?

What flows in her body is the blood of the Murong family!Qin Guo's long-cherished wish for hundreds of years is on her. How can she just give up? !

She shivered, it was still a little cold in the middle of the night.She slowly put down her hand, paused, and when she was about to step back, she caught a glimpse of her own shadow under the moon. In a daze, she heard the oath again:

"I, Murong Bai, swear by Murong's bloodline that I will take Qin as my responsibility in this life. If the world does not belong to me, Da Qin, I will not find a lover for a day. If I violate this oath, I will accompany the person I love for life and death!"

Her figure flickered, and her face turned pale.

That's right, that's the oath she made, the oath she made with the one she loves, and it cannot be broken.

She suddenly laughed lowly, under the cool moonlight, her peerless face was full of self-mockery and disdain:

Murong Bai, fish and bear's paw, can you have it both ways?
