Qiting Restaurant,

Ten miles away, the yellow sand of the desert was blown by the night wind to cover the vastness of the world. In the vast expanse of yellow sand, there was a faint cyan, a red horse, staggering from the distance of the desert.

Suddenly, there was a dull feeling in his chest, which couldn't be suppressed, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.Stretching out his hand to wipe away a trace of blood on his lips, the internal breath in his body stirred his heart, and he couldn't help a sudden convulsion from below, and he suddenly rolled off the big maroon horse, and after rolling down a few times , lying on his back in the vast yellow sand, a barely audible sigh escaped from his lips.

In his field of vision, he could only see a full moon in the sky. He was always high-spirited in the past, conceited of his talent and learning, and considered himself a talented man with both civil and military skills. , it was actually a full moon, and his consciousness gradually became hazy, and suddenly there was a faint sound of Lingling camel bells in his ears. scene.

He never denies that he is an extremely ambitious man, who has been admired all his life. Since God has endowed him with talents and learning, he was born a son of a prostitute. He finally struggled to climb out of the nightmarish shackles of his contemptuous background. Come out, how can you be willing not to display your talents and strategies.He has indeed successfully climbed a wide and open road, and he has been appreciated by the young general who is the most favored by the emperor at that time. There have been more than [-] students in the imperial examinations, but he was able to get that among ten thousand people. With his blue eyes, he became the number one student under General Lin.

If he is lucky, what kind of scene will his life look like?

"The turmoil in the court is changing rapidly, how can it be as good as my cup of new tea?" He vaguely remembered that when he was visiting the teacher in the general's mansion, he saw a person pouring into the fish pond in front of him. The cup of tea in the cup had a rare look of loneliness in his eyes, and a bit of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Since that person is already in power, most of the situation above the court is already in his hands, turning his hands into clouds, turning his hands into rain, and being an official for a lifetime, if he can really achieve the status of that person today, How can there be half a point of dissatisfaction?

He admitted that he intended to attract that person's attention at the beginning, and it was a plan for his own career. , and then Qingyun went straight up, becoming the one who dominates the situation above the court.

He had already had enough of the supercilious looks he suffered from being powerless and powerless in the world. Only the monstrous power was what he really wanted.

However, that person is such a shrewd person. Although he is conceited and famous, he is really convinced when he is facing that person. Be sincere.In the end, he couldn't tell whether he had successfully gained that person's trust, or whether he had fallen into an elaborate trap laid out layer by layer.

The man pointed at the bullet on his forehead with a cold face, but his eyes were extremely warm.The Shen family kid's face was also rare to be a bit straight at this time, and he said: "Wait for you to come back."

Afterwards, I heard a few times of a man's voice that seemed to be very comfortable and proud, which seemed to be close to my ears.

"That scholar was born with outstanding talents and extraordinary appearance." "Those who say you are a lunatic are the real lunatics." "I never said that we are friends, not friends, but bosom friends." "Gu Xichao, you Killed hundreds of people in Lianyunzhai, if I have my life in the future, I will kill you, and I will never die." "..."

— Tsk.

A few years ago, he might not have understood, but now he can vaguely understand the meaning of seclusion that that person had stored up in his early years. The idea of ​​retiring from the past, but now, at this time when his life is almost hanging by a thread, although he is still unwilling to let go of the power he has obtained easily, he can already understand it in a vague way.

However, before he was about to die, the person he thought of was...

If so, if he can survive this time, shouldn't he be more kind to that person?

Slowly closing his eyes, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise a slightly sarcastic smile.

He regards that person as a teacher and elder brother, because he is the first person who is willing to appreciate his talent, however, the person who understands him best...

When the consciousness gradually began to dim, a dark shadow suddenly covered the eyes, and the gradually blurred vision saw two horses swaying their tails slowly, scratching their hooves in the sand, and a man leading the horse. The man turned on the horse, and suddenly a palm covered his waist, hooking him onto the horse, and a piece of almost hot chest was pressed against his back, his eyes barely made a slit, and he raised his eyes to look.

The man's lips were pursed straight, a very resolute chin, and the corners of his mouth had shallow wrinkle lines. The man inadvertently lowered his head, and met his narrowed eyes. Deep pain flashed in the man's eyes, and then , a broad and warm palm covered his eyes, his fingers hooked a few strands of curly hair between the ears of the person in front of him, and stroked them behind the ears, his fingertips carried a long-term martial arts practice, and worked hard in the arena for many years The thin calluses and small scars left by the wandering, and then slowly let go, but the palm around the waist slowly began to tighten...

"Let's go." Raising his whip, the man suddenly shouted.

he thought,

Did he... really deserve to treat him better?

He closed his eyes, but a muffled low laughter flashed across his chest unconsciously.

"Jiuyou Shenjun is not an easy character to deal with, you are too reckless." He casually added some dry firewood to the lit bonfire, fiddled with the slender branches a few times, Qi Shaoshang's face was hidden In the flickering firelight, some couldn't distinguish.

"You're already awake." Throwing the dead branch in his hand onto the bonfire, Qi Dadang untied the wine bag from his waist and threw it towards Gu Xichao who had just woken up leaning against the tree.

Gu Xichao took out a jade bottle from his bosom, bit the mouth of the bottle and forcefully poured out a pill the size of a bullet, raised his head and swallowed it, and then just happened to take the wine bag again, although his face was pale, almost There was no blood in the slightest, but his expression was very comfortable. He unscrewed the wine bag, then raised his head and took another sip. The spicy wine in his mouth went all the way down his thirsty throat, and his chest suddenly seemed to rise. There was a lot of fire, "Spicy wine."

Gu Xichao played with the wine gourd in his hand, and said: "The cannon lights of the Qiting wine shop?"

Qi Shaoshang took another dead branch, fiddled with the bonfire in front of him, and said, "You are too reckless."

Gu Xichao threw the wine bag in his hand again, Qi Shaoshang took the thrown wine bag with one hand, but Gu Xichao smiled and said: "I have my own measure." After a moment's pause, he said, "I thought You will be the one who wants me to die the most."

"I saved you because you are an anti-captive general under General Yang's banner. Although you have always been ruthless and decisive in your conduct, the name of Yumian Shura is also considered a prestigious name among Yakui's army. Although I hate you to the bone, I am here In righteousness, I still have to save you." Qi Shaoshang said coldly.

Gu Xichao said: "So? You are no longer going to kill me to avenge your brothers in Lianyunzhai?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "I can't be sorry for my brother who was born and died in Lianyunzhai."

Gu Xichao raised her eyebrows and said, "So?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "In the future, the day Yake's army retreats is the time when I will kill you."

Gu Xichao gritted his teeth and said, "Is there no end to death?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "I will never die."

Gu Xichao smiled angrily and said, "Very good."

"You will definitely regret what you did today in the future. Since you want to stay with me forever, how can I tolerate you? I will see you on the day when Yake retreats..." The small ax in his hand has been pulled from his cuff Sliding out, holding it in his hand, he said word by word, "I will never die."

The bonfire in front of him suddenly burst into bright yellow flames. Qi Shaoshang threw the dead tree branch he was fiddling with into the bonfire, stood up, raised his hand, and inserted the Nishui Hanjian beside the bonfire Pulling it out, putting the sword back into its sheath, Qi Shaoshang said: "It should be like this."

"Has anyone ever told you that you're actually not that smart?" Gu Xichao said suddenly, squinting his eyes, with a sneer that almost gnawed his teeth, "It's not just that you're not smart, you're actually a A real idiot."

Qi Shaoshang: "..."

Putting away the weeping ax in his hand, and swiping down the sleeves of the blue clothes in his hand, Gu Xichao calmed down, and said: "The army of Yake has long been ready to move in the frontier, General Yang is fighting against the enemy outside, and the reinforcements are delayed. Before it was too late, Fu Zongshu was acting as a hindrance in the middle of the court, intending to reduce military expenditures. A group of loyal people represented by Shenhou, Lord Lin, and Mu Shangshu in the middle of the court fought bitterly. The frontier battles seemed to be victorious repeatedly. However, But it is already a scene of hard support, once the military rations are cut off, the scene that has been worked hard for several years is very likely to be burned."

Gu Xichao said: "Master Lin has long inferred that Fu Zongshu's plan to reduce military expenditures this time, and the frequent actions on the frontier, the plot must be wrong. The worst plan is that Fu Zongshu and the foreign enemy have long had the intention of collusion. Lord Youshen is even more helpful. As long as Fu Zongshu finds evidence of collusion with Jiuyou and even Yakui, or even intends to rebel, the court will most likely wipe out the faction represented by Fu Zongshu in one fell swoop. Now, Li Ling is the only clue to follow... Help me find Li Ling, and then lend me the sword against the cold water. After that, I will burn Lianyunzhai and kill you and Lianyunzhai as brothers. How about an explanation that you are satisfied with?"

"Okay." Qi Shaoshang responded decisively: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."

Gu Xichao sneered and said, "It will definitely be hard to chase."

Both hands were clapped together as an oath, and they were held back. Qi Shaoshang bullied him and said, "Although I am not as wise and resourceful as you are, the world bullies me, and you chase me thousands of miles away. You kill hundreds of my brothers and destroy me. Lian Yunzhai, the person who forced me to flee for thousands of miles, I, Qi Shaoshang, only met you, Gu Xichao, in my lifetime."

Gu Xichao said: "It's really a rare honor for me, Gu Xichao, to be able to remember Mr. Qi so much."

Qi Shaoshang said: "My pair of tricks have already been wrong once, and I don't want to see you wrong again this time."

Gu Xichao squinted his eyes, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of wantonness and arrogance, "Master Qi might as well wait and see."

……

half moon,

General's Mansion,

The game of chess in front of me is already halfway through, a line of white smoke faintly rises from the censer on the table, and a pleasant smell of sandalwood lingers on the tip of my nose. on a wooden chess board.

--Snapped.

Shen Tan can't quite understand General Lin's occasional pastime outside of court affairs, or the soft guqin tune, or a painting of mountains and rivers in his study, or... the one that has been played for nearly half a year in front of him. game of chess.

Shen Tan raised his eyes and looked at General Lin cautiously. There was indeed the usual coldness between his brows, and the corners of his lips were never hooked. The meaning of relaxation is like the relaxation of relief before a big event.

A few days ago,

Gu Xichao, who hadn't heard from him for a long time, finally got news. He sent a stack of letters to the General's Mansion in a hurry, but it was a set of letters of collaborating with the enemy. The evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the mastermind pointed directly at Fu Zongshu. In the future, when he pointed out the power that brought down Fu Zongshu in the court, it would be an indisputable proof.

Since Li Ling has such important evidence, why didn't he directly tell Yang Zhao, or the generals of Gongshu, that they would rather entrust all such important physical evidence in the hands of a reckless person, Qi Shaoshang .It turned out that the letter was actually hidden in the hilt of Li Ling's portable sword, Nishui Hanjian. No wonder... no wonder all forces from all directions focused on only one Qi Shaoshang, chasing and killing him from all directions, besieged on all sides.

This Qi Shaoshang is also loyal, he is indeed a man of wisdom and bravery, he was able to escape Fu Zongshu, Jiuyou Shenjun, Ya Ji's minions, and even the God Detective Division, Gu Xichao... It is even rumored that Li Ling After the news that he was actually a traitor, he was criticized in every possible way by the people in the world, and the God Detective Division even sent out chasers. After the two iron hands were ordered to hunt down Qi Shaoshang, they once broke through. They must be rare heroes.

Qi Shaoshang, the Nine Demonic Dragon, doesn't look like someone who is trying to catch fame.

What's more, it's someone who can win Gu Xichao's favor.

Li Ling would rather entrust the Sword Against the Water to Qi Shaoshang. On the one hand, I have to say that Li Ling has a good eye for knowing people, and on the other hand, it is more likely because he is completely desperate now.What's more, in Li Ling's opinion, in the army, even Yang Zhao and Gong Shu couldn't be trusted at all. He had to find someone who had nothing to do with the army before he could safely use the Nishui Hanjian Entrusted to him, and this person is Qi Shaoshang.

There is no one in the army that Li Ling can trust. Yang Zhao, isn't Gong Shu worthy of Li Ling's trust?The two generals Yang Zhao and Gong Shu have worked hard in the frontier since they were young. Young people and even adults have spent time in the wild frontier. Gong Shu has never left home for 20 years, and the child under his knees has never seen his father. On the one hand, they didn't get together until the defeat of Rong Di years ago.As for Yang Zhao, he has been working hard in the frontier for nearly 20 years. He is almost [-] years old. He has never married and has no children. Are these two veterans who have worked hard in the frontier for a whole life really not worth it? Does Li Ling trust it?it's not true.

It may also be because Li Ling does not distrust Yang Zhao and Gong Shu, but rather no longer trusts certain people in the army. Except for Leng Hu'er, there are few other forces mixed in the army. Sneaky, even, the status of this sneaky person is not only not low, but also very high in the army. Li Ling doesn't know who that person is, but he must know that there must be such a person, so he can't take any more risks. up.

The reason why Li Ling was hunted down and accused of being a traitor was just the news from the army.It was precisely because Li Ling was hunted down that he knew better that the forces in the army could no longer be fully trusted.

Li Ling hid a letter in the hilt of Nishui Hanjian. In the letter, he named and entrusted it to General Lin, that is, his hands. Li Ling thought that Master Lin was one of the few in the court, and he thought it was worth it. A person you trust.

"After Xichao returns to the court, there is no need for him to come looking for me." Throwing the last black piece on the chessboard and cutting off the last lifeline of the white piece, Master Lin said unhurriedly.

Although Shen Tan felt a little inexplicable in his heart, he finally responded and said, "Student understands."

Master Lin said: "I'm going to enter the palace immediately to face the Holy Spirit."

Shen Tan thought for a while, but he was still a bit inexplicable about the connection between the general's going to the palace and not having to let Gu Xichao come to see the general.

Master Lin stroked the chessboard in front of him, messed up a game of chess, lowered his head and began to carefully arrange the chess basket in front of him, Shen Tan also kept quiet and stopped talking.

When Shen Tan finally got up to bid farewell to Master Lin,

"Because... I deserve to die." A soft sigh escaped unconsciously from his lips, helplessly, sentimentally, and even with a rare sense of relief, a shallow sigh Sigh.
