Chapter 66 "Thank you, give me a reason not to kill you!"
Now let’s talk about the thanks.
A thick black cloud rose from the southwestern mountains, gradually covering half of the night sky. The towering and magnificent red-walled and golden-tiled imperial city became gloomy. The cold night wind whistled past, and there was a cold and silent atmosphere of solemnity.
The horses galloped at full speed and arrived at the foot of the city wall in the second half of the night. Lu Haide used a golden order to open the city gate and quietly entered through the smallest doorway. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at a mansion near the palace. A set of imperial guards armor was thrown in front of Xie Ci. He lowered his eyes and put it on.
Lu Haide had changed back into the attire of the Imperial Chamberlain, a royal blue robe embroidered with a four-clawed dragon and embroidered with silver lace. The sea and river cliffs pattern on the hem gleamed silver in the night sky. He glanced at Xie Ci and said in a shrill voice, "Let's go."
Lu Haide put on a large black cloak, covering the exquisite and complicated blue robe. The group entered from the small door on the west side of the palace wall with Xie Ci, and soon arrived at the inner palace after circling left and right.
But unexpectedly, Xie Ci did not see the emperor, but was led into a small palace outside the inner palace.
Under the shadow of the silent palace wall, there was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and traces of arrow holes could be vaguely seen. It was obvious that the old emperor knew Xie Ci's situation very well. He knew that the men of the Xie family were good at fighting.
Pang Huai brought Xie Ci into the palace on the left. He looked back at Xie Ci, but in the end said nothing.
With a "creak", the half-worn palace door closed.
There was no light in the house and it was pitch black.
But when Xie Ci moved, his feet bumped into a small ball of paper. He lowered his eyes suddenly, leaned over to pick it up, and opened it. Inside was a line of tiny calligraphy: "Through an audience, you will have everything you want."
As for what happens if it doesn't pass, the paper doesn't specify.
Needless to say.
In the dark and narrow palace room, everything was quiet. The words on the note were faintly visible in the darkness, like a tiny poisonous snake, quietly winding its way through.
Xie Ci's jaw was tense to the extreme. He slowly raised his eyelids. Since leaving the inn, there was nothing in his eyes except gloom and coldness.
The body is stretched tight like a fully drawn bow.
In an instant, Xie Ci had figured it out. At this moment, he was caught in the conflict and bloody undercurrent between the old emperor and Feng Kun.
There might even be a Lin Guozhang.
——Feng Kun, the father-in-law of Lin, was so powerful that he made the old emperor breathless. The old emperor had always been using the power of others to support a new powerful party to attack the old powerful party.
The way of the emperor is to control with balance.
Xie Ci's eyelids moved. In this cold and chilly night, he suddenly understood the old emperor's imperial power tactics.
It's a pity that Feng Kun and Lin Guozhang are more powerful than any powerful minister in the past, especially the former, who has already pushed the old emperor to the throat.
The old emperor urgently needs to activate a new powerful official to break this situation.
The Zheng Shoufang incident was an opportunity.
It is even possible that Zheng Shoufang was the new powerful official that the old emperor wanted to transfer to Zhongdu.
Xie Ci felt a chill run down his spine, a sharp heat rising from his chest that instantly broke into a sweat. The old emperor's various signs revealed just how well he knew him, and he suddenly realized that if he hadn't chosen to serve Feng Kun in time, the end of the war would likely have marked his death, and the complete collapse of the Xie family army and Guiyi Prefecture.
Qin Xian, Chen Yan and others will definitely not be spared!
Horror, fear, a chill down the spine, all kinds of creepy emotions, rumbled through the heart like huge bells and drums.
In the end, it all turned into a surge of anger and resentment.
——He did so much just to survive!
But in the eyes of the emperor, the supreme ruler of the empire who could make things happen with a wave of his hand, it was so insignificant!
But the more he pressed, the stronger Xie Ci's iron-clad rebelliousness grew. "You want me dead, but I won't die! I'll even fight my way out of this! I'll make sure no one can easily decide his life or death!"
He doesn't want to die!
You can't die either!
The people behind him were still waiting for him to go back, including the panicked confidants in the inn, Qin Xian and Chen Yan who were eagerly waiting in the north, and even the Xie family in the small village in the valley. A large group of people, like scattered stars in the Milky Way, were eager to gather together.
And there is Gu Wan.
Gu Wan is also waiting for him to come back!
The two of them were on the verge of breaking through the last layer of window paper, holding hands just a few steps away. If he didn't see her nod in agreement in the end, he would die with regrets!
Xie Ci went through this all the way, all kinds of emotions rolled into one in the end, and a strong sense of resentment and indomitable spirit burst out in his chest!
Before him was a narrow and dangerous road like walking on a tightrope, and the rest of the story might be even more dangerous, but he had to grit his teeth and walk through it, all the way to the bottom!
Xie Ci tilted his head back, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes with force.
But in this huge and gloomy palace, the cold wind blows like a ghost, and the narrow and old palace is so dark that you can hardly see your hand in front of you. Not to mention the future, it is not easy to survive now.
Xie Ci lowered his eyes and glanced at both sides of the paper. He wiped it with his fingers and found nothing unusual. He crumpled the narrow piece of paper into a ball, put it between his thin lips, and swallowed it silently.
Then Xie Ci quickly discovered that there was someone next door.
He walked silently to the nanmu wall that separated the two palaces. The nanmu wood was very thick, but it had been in disrepair for a long time and was mottled with some tiny cracks.
The person opposite heard the door next door open, and after a moment of silence, he also walked silently towards the wooden wall.
Xie Ci smelled a faint and familiar scent of agarwood, and his brows immediately furrowed. The person opposite him also raised his eyebrows slightly and knocked lightly on the wooden wall. A very subtle and magnetic voice came from next door, "Xie Ci?"
The person next door turned out to be Li Yi!
In the darkness, the moment they confirmed each other's identities, their hearts sank.
——Zheng Shoufang couldn’t even clean up the mess. The old emperor shifted his gaze from him to Xie Ci and Li Yi who suddenly appeared.
Both of them guessed the situation and the emperor's thoughts.
However, this game of survival is more dangerous and cruel than imagined. It is very likely that only one person among them will survive in the end.
…
Unfortunately, the first person the old emperor summoned was Li Yi.
Even today, Li Yi does not regret it. He has been through many storms and waves along the way. Since he has done it, he will not regret it. If he had only wanted to be safe and sound, he would still be suffering from the wind and sand in the northwest.
An eunuch in a silver-purple gauze robe led the way, walking along a vermilion corridor that was three meters wide. In the dark night, huge red palace lanterns illuminated the jade-white marble steps. The imperial guards stood in a row, silent and orderly.
From this direction, one could clearly see the Yuquan Palace standing on a huge white marble platform with 9981 steps. The golden tiles shone brightly in the night. Li Yi could clearly realize that he was stepping into the center of the dynasty that controlled the life and death of the world.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.
If he is not careful tonight, he will be torn to pieces and die on the spot.
Li Yi lowered his eyes. He had always been trying to climb up, but he had never been so close to the peak of power and death.
Either live and ascend to heaven in one step;
Either die or die without a complete body.
Inside Ganquan Palace.
All the branch-shaped lanterns on both sides of the palace walls were lit, and the huge palace was bright golden and red, as bright as day. The imperial guards and palace servants stood silently with their heads lowered inside and outside the huge vermilion palace gate. Two bright yellow curtains were hung on the sides of two gold-painted blue pillars with exquisite paintings of flying dragons entering the sea. The golden dragons circled towards the high roof of the hipped hall.
"Waste!"
At the very top in the center of the hall, the old emperor was lying on his side behind a yellow-bottomed, black-surfaced imperial desk. His legs were covered with a bright yellow mattress, and his slightly aggressive brows were extremely sharp. On the desk were a large stack of blue-covered account books that he had just retrieved from the inn, as well as the memorial that Zheng Shoufang had just submitted.
What was written on the memorial was a self-narration of the incident from Ningzhou to Ruping.
Zheng Shoufang did not dare to shirk responsibility. He spent a long article describing his judgment and actions, which could be said to be impeccable. In the end, he attributed the reason why Xie Ci and Li Yi were able to get his news so quickly to Feng Kun.
However, no matter how much you try to avoid the main issue or emphasize Feng Kun's power and strong penetration, it will not have much effect.
The old emperor read through it expressionlessly and tossed the memorial aside. "So many people were mobilized, countless were killed and injured, and yet they were caught red-handed!"
The old emperor was determined to rescue Zheng Shoufang for two reasons. First, Zheng Shoufang's past and current positions involved many important personnel matters for the old emperor. If Feng Kun were to pull out a radish and bring mud into the mix, he would be deeply hurt, so he finally resorted to using Feng Qian, his important spy.
The second and most important one is Feng Kun and Lin Guozuo, especially the former, who has indeed pushed the old emperor to the throat. After a serious illness last year, the Feng and Lin factions made rapid progress, and the situation became increasingly tense. However, the old emperor's physical condition was very bad, and he urgently needed to activate a new powerful minister to break this situation.
After careful consideration, he decided that the new powerful official in the circle was Zheng Shoufang.
If it weren't for the Northwest War, the old emperor would have issued an edict last year to promote Zheng Shoufang to the capital and entrust him with important powers.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Shoufang greatly disappointed him. As soon as the old emperor got the news of Ru Ping, he gave up on Zheng Shoufang.
However, the selection of the new powerful official who defeated Feng Kun and Lin Guozhang is the most important and urgent matter at the moment.
Li Yi and Xie Ci, who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers and had forced Zheng Shoufang into this situation, came into the old emperor's sight at the same time.
This is the essence of this summons, this survival game.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiaoshan Li Yi has arrived."
The old emperor did not touch the account book, but raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Call him in."
Li Yi walked into the hall step by step and stood in front of the incense burner. The old emperor looked up and down at the tall and steady young man with a deep and sharp gaze.
Li Yi's life story is already on the old emperor's desk. Some things may not be displayed openly, but once they are written down on a page and placed in front of him, many hidden secrets and subtle clues will be exposed.
After a long time, you could hear a pin drop, and in the huge palace, you could hear the faint sound of burning wicks. On the cool autumn night, Li Yi's back was covered with sweat, and when he blew on the ice plate, the chill penetrated into his bones.
Finally, the old emperor's cold voice came from above: "Tell me, if I appoint you as Minister of State Affairs of the Secretariat and General of the Cavalry, in charge of both military and political affairs of the country, what will you do?"
Li Yi remained kneeling on the ground without moving, even his eyebrows did not move, and his eyes did not change. He had finally passed the test of mental and psychological quality.
Li Yi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Without hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Go all out! Using the inadequacy of the Jiangnan Grain City investigation as an excuse, we will petition to restructure the Secretariat, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Censorate. We will stir up a conflict between Lin Guozhang and Feng Kun, using their strength to counterattack them and their cronies!"
The Secretariat, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works and the Censorate were all areas of influence for Feng Kun and Lin, the father-in-law of the state. Especially the former, which was usurped when the old emperor was seriously ill and unconscious. The old emperor immediately fought back after he woke up, but unfortunately Feng Kun and Lin, the father-in-law of the state, completely lost their control.
The old emperor was very satisfied with this answer. "Very good. Remember what you said today!"
"Lu Haide, have someone take him to the palace."
In the huge palace, an old voice finally came from the top of the jade steps, and Li Yi's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
…
When we left Yuquan Palace, it was almost dawn.
When the night wind blew, he realized that his underwear was completely wet and cold.
Only then did Li Yi realize that autumn was deepening, and Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. A eunuch in a silver-purple gauze robe stepped forward and said in a shrill voice, "Prince Xiaoshan, please leave."
I'm leaving the palace now.
Li Yi's mind raced, and he said, "I need to go back and get something."
The purple-robed eunuch led the way back to the old palace.
Li Yi's dagger, crossbow and other items were all taken away and placed in that palace. No extra items were allowed to be taken away, including his royal seal.
The purple-robed eunuch ordered someone to open the door. Li Yi stepped onto the stairs and glanced at the next room without leaving any trace.
After entering the room, Li Yi walked in slowly. He really wanted to pass a message to Xie Ci. He had passed the test and the emperor might not even see Xie Ci again. He didn't know what would happen next, but this matter could actually be done by two people, so he still wanted to try his best.
Every bit counts.
After a thousand twists and turns, Li Yi finally decided to try to send a message to Xie Ci. He wanted to use his fingernails to slowly draw the trajectory of a knife on the nanmu wall panel, and Xie Ci could hear the sound.
But he didn't have this opportunity. The purple-robed eunuch watched him the whole time and followed him into the inner room. Li Yi had no choice but to put all the things against the wall in place, then turned around and followed the purple-robed eunuch out of the old palace.
next door.
As soon as he entered the yard, Xie Ci opened his eyes.
In the darkness, he listened quietly to Li Yi packing up his things and leaving.
My heart suddenly sank.
Take a sharp turn for the worse.
The cold and murderous aura was as tangible as a substance, instantly enveloping this cramped room.
…
The autumn wind is cool, rustling across the mountains and loess roads.
It rained a little in the morning and the ground was wet.
After Li Yi left the palace, he thought for a moment and ordered someone to go south to pick up Yu Manzhen and others. Then, he did not go back, but followed the official road to find them.
Gu Guan and his group no longer tried to conceal their whereabouts, and soon Li Yi's men sent back a report.
He rode fast all the way and arrived at the farm inn at 3:00 p.m.
Li Yi did not go in. He dismounted. Gu Guan was sitting in front of the door. She stood up immediately. He was silent for a moment and told her what happened last night and this morning.
"It's possible that His Majesty will summon him again, but the possibility is very small."
The alliance had come this far, and Li Yi felt a sense of grief. He said to the beautiful, tired-looking girl with long hair standing in front of him, dressed in a half-worn brown robe and looking dusty and holding a long sword, "I don't know if he can come back, but I think I should tell you."
After he finished speaking, he stood for a moment and said, "If... you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."
Comfort was of no use. After a moment of silence, Li Yi got on his horse and finally left.
The clatter of horses' hooves trampled the mud, and the group of people, traveling light and with a small following, soon disappeared around the bend of the official road.
The group was stunned. Qin Ying and others also rushed out to greet them. Her eyelashes were filled with tears: "...I, what should we do? We must save Xiao Si! We go to Zhongdu, we go to Zhongdu now——"
Xie Yun, Xie Feng, He Yuan, Qin Guan and others were so angry that they didn't even want their luggage and turned around to get the horses.
Gu Guan turned around abruptly: "Don't move!!"
Her heart sank, a cold, heavy feeling like it was filled with lead, sweeping through every part of her body. But she tried her best to control herself. She shouted, "Let's go into Zhongdu! What can we do?"
Prisoner kidnapping?
It’s no use looking for Feng Kun!
No one expected it to be like this. One of two options? Or two of two options?
But at this moment, Gu Wan was more sober than ever. If they went to Zhongdu City, not only would they be unable to accomplish anything, but they would also kill the only glimmer of hope.
"No one is allowed to move, no one is allowed to go anywhere, we will just wait here and don't cause any trouble for him."
Gu Guan was speechless, and she said, "I believe he can do it!"
"We'll wait for her here."
Qin Ying fell silent, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.
Gu Wan lowered his eyes, then raised them after a while, "... within half a month."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
…
Everything was in perfect order inside the huge imperial palace. This not-so-old palace seemed to be out of this world.
After Li Yi left, the sound of his footsteps disappeared into the dark night. Then, as the sun rose and the moon set, there was no more sound.
Xie Ci sat cross-legged. The traces of dust on the old bed had not changed at all except for the position where he sat down.
He lowered his eyes slightly and remained motionless except for the eunuch who brought him food.
The suffocating shadow of death that had been hanging over his head finally showed a change in the evening of the sixth day. Xie Ci's ears were much more sensitive than usual, and he suddenly heard a subtle movement coming from under the nanmu wall not far away.
Xie Ci's eyelashes moved slightly, and he sat alone with his legs crossed, without any change.
In the tunnel under the old palace, Lu Haide moved the water mirror. The craftsmen who built the palace were extremely skilled and could reflect the scene above.
Lu Haide moved the crystal mirror a few times, and the bed in the dim room came into view. On the bed, a tall young man in black and soft armor sat cross-legged with a gloomy face and eyes slightly closed, motionless, without any sign of panic or movement.
"You're quite patient."
Lu Haide raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself.
Xie Ci probably didn't know that he had been wandering at the gates of hell for a long time. The old emperor subconsciously felt disgusted when he thought of Xie Ci. If the king ordered his subject to die and the subject refused to die, it would be disloyalty. Xie Ci not only escaped from prison but also rescued Xie's family, and then dared to surrender to Feng Kun. All these actions simply challenged the emperor's authority.
After Li Yi passed the test, the old emperor wanted to sentence him to death as a token of his gratitude. Before giving the order, he paused, and this continued until now.
Lu Haide observed for two days and returned to Yuquan Palace for the last time.
The old emperor leaned back on the dragon couch with his eyes closed. The air in the hall was filled with the faint smell of astringent medicine and ambergris. Lu Haide silently approached and waited for a long time until the old emperor opened his eyes. He whispered, "Xie Ci is in imminent danger, but he remains as still as a mountain. His mental fortitude is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
The old emperor said coldly: "Really?"
Lu Haide knew that he didn't need to answer, so he stepped aside and stood silently.
Time goes by day by day.
The sun and the moon rotate, the stars move, and the old palace rotates from day to night, from dim day to pitch dark night.
Xie Ci stayed in this dark and narrow palace room for fourteen days.
Finally, at nightfall on the fourteenth day, he heard footsteps.
There was the clattering sound of eunuchs' black boots hitting the ground, a sound unique to the palace. The imperial guards outside the gate took a step back, opened the palace gate, and walked step by step towards the palace behind the old courtyard and climbed the stairs.
Xie Ci slowly opened his eyes.
The temple door that had been locked for fourteen days opened.
Xie Ci slowly stood up, and under the supervision of the eunuchs and the imperial guards, he took off his armor and weapons piece by piece, and then put on his inner clothes and soft armor again.
Walking forward step by step, along the wide vermilion corridor, he walked the same path that Li Yi had walked that day.
Finally, he reached the top of the ninety-nine white jade steps and arrived in front of the single, half-meter-wide, brand new vermilion and gold-painted door of the palace.
A thick red velvet carpet with a pattern of a curling dragon entering the sea was laid out from the palace gate all the way inside. The magnificent palace was flanked by silver-blue dragon-shaped pillars extending all the way to the top of the jade steps. Behind the bright yellow and black lacquered imperial desk sat the old emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe with a cold expression.
——This hall is the throne room where his father once knelt for a long time and refused to get up.
The person at the top was the emperor who controlled the power of life and death in the world and executed all the male members of the Xie family.
In fourteen days, Xie Ci's blood had even settled.
But as he stepped into the hall, the glaring red and bright yellow made the blood in his body rush upward in his veins, as if boiling in an instant.
Xie Ci controlled his trembling. Today, he would either live or die!
He didn't even have much room to think about anything else.
He must survive!
What Feng Kun said, whether it was the amnesty or the Shuofang, he wanted to get it, he wanted to leap up! He wanted to get his living space!
When he reached the big cauldron, Xie Ci lowered his eyes and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you!"
He spoke word by word.
The old emperor snorted and laughed, "Minister?"
He was not without irony.
The old emperor stopped laughing and sat up straight. He said coldly, "Thank you, Ci. Give me a reason not to kill you. Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Pang Huai and his men followed behind him. The old emperor glanced at Pang Huai, and with a "clang" sound, the long sword was unsheathed and placed on Xie Ci's neck. The extremely sharp blade silently cut the skin on Xie Ci's neck with a touch.
The cold murderous intent weighs down heavily!
Xie Ci suddenly raised his eyes. He looked at the huge palace that was dazzling with red gold. His Adam's apple moved up and down for a moment. "Based on this, Li Yi could become the second Zheng Shoufang!"
"And I won't."
He spoke hoarsely, word by word.
The old emperor in front of him was blind and paralyzed, sitting high above everyone else. This huge and magnificent palace was like a place where a ferocious beast was suppressed, which was extremely depressing.
Like an old lion king wounded, he still roared and rushed out, tearing his enemies into pieces with ferocious fury.
Li Yi.
Except for a few people in this world, there is no one else that Xie Ci can trust sincerely.
But what Xie Ci firmly believed in was the benefits. Li Yi had been waiting for many years. Now he arranged for many of his confidants to use Lingyun Suding's position as deputy general of the four states as a springboard to join the Northern Army.
So he firmly believed that Li Yi would definitely leave him some leeway.
On the premise that Li Yi can pass the test, he must take the usual route, for example, how to target Lin Guozhang and assassinate Feng Kun secretly.
So if Xie Ci wants to survive, he must do the opposite and not take the usual path!
Before Zheng Shoufang, the old emperor had tried other people, but they all failed one by one. Either they were quickly defeated by Feng Kun and Lin, the father-in-law, or some could not even last a single round. Or they were forced to commit suicide by Feng and Lin.
Otherwise, the old emperor would not have chosen Zheng Shoufang, and then immediately noticed the more ferocious Xie Ci Li Yi.
It can be said that the old emperor no longer even cares about loyalty. What he cares about is whether he has enough ability to rush forward and break the current stalemate.
This is the real reason why the old emperor has not verbally issued an apology for the death penalty in the past fourteen days.
One Li Yi may not be enough.
As Xie Ci uttered these words, Zheng Shoufang was present, standing at the foot of the jade steps in a wrinkled apricot-colored round-necked robe, his head bowed. He had originally knelt to plead his case, begging for the emperor's forgiveness, but the emperor remained silent. When Xie Ci arrived, the emperor coldly ordered him to stand up. He climbed up, stood at the imperial desk, and stared coldly at Xie Ci.
Xie Ci suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Zheng Shoufang, his eyes piercing at him like fire.
——Loyalty, filial piety and propriety are deeply rooted in his bones. Although Xie Ci now feels resentful, he has never had a clear idea of regicide.
As for the old emperor on the throne, his thoughts were churning like tides and he was suppressing his resentment.
But for Zheng Shoufang, the murderous intent was endless and difficult to contain!
He spoke hoarsely, word by word: "I have only one request, and that is for Zheng Shoufang to die!"
Zheng Shoufang's expression suddenly changed, "You!"
"Go down."
The emperor suddenly said.
However, it was this sudden stop in the hatred and murderous intent towards Zheng Shoufang that made the old emperor finally make up his mind.
Zheng Shoufang blushed, "...Yes."
He had to step down.
After Zheng Shoufang left, the old emperor finally sat up straight. He leaned over the imperial desk and looked down at Xie Ci. He said, "Very good."
The old, hoarse voice finally revealed a hint of satisfaction.
"You are quite right. I agree."
The morning bell and evening drum sounded deafening, and the haze of death that covered our heads finally dissipated completely with a "ding--".
…
It was already the early morning of the fifteenth day when Xie Ci left the palace and returned to the inn.
Gu Wan waited for half a month.
During the past half month, Gu Guan not only had to keep herself steady, she also had to tell everyone in the most calm and confident manner that Xie Ci could do it.
Let's hold on and don't panic.
She herself must not mess around.
A chaotic rear area would be extremely disadvantageous to Xie Ci, so they must be organized.
Gu Guan even arranged for someone to send a letter to the north and made various arrangements.
The days go by one by one.
The deadline she originally gave was half a month. Because she had also taken a psychology course, she knew the results would come out in half a month. Under the current circumstances, it was impossible to drag it on any longer.
Xie Ci can either come back and get what he wants as Feng Kun expected, and make a grand appearance on the bloody stage of Zhongdu.
Or, ...
But no matter how hard Gu Wan tried to calm himself down and told himself to firmly believe in Xie Ci's aura as the male protagonist, in the dead of night, an unspeakable worry followed him like a shadow.
It's already the fifteenth day.
In fact, as there was no news in the following few days, she felt relieved.
Because no news is the best news.
Prove that Xie Ci still has a chance! The old emperor must be weighing and observing Xie Ci.
I believe Xie Ci must have figured it out.
As long as there is a chance, she believes Xie Ci can make it through!
He will use all his strengths and abilities.
The unknown is scary, but having a path, even if it is an extremely dangerous path, gives him a goal and a direction to strive forward.
This is the analysis Gu Wan gave to Qin Ying and the others.
Today is the fifteenth day. Gu Guan stayed awake all night and went down to the lobby early in the morning, dressed in his clothes.
The dawn had not yet broken, and in the blink of an eye it was already deep autumn. The rain drizzled through the night, and the rain gradually subsided at dawn. The proprietress had already returned and was dozing off behind the counter. The door was half open, and gusts of cold autumn wind blew in.
Gu Guan sat alone at the square table by the door, turning the teacup in her hand. She thought about many things and even felt a little regretful that she had not agreed to him earlier. It was also the rainy season, and the hazy and innocent face of the boy, as the rain and mist flew in under the eaves, flashed before her eyes.
Xie Ci has changed a lot, but he can't help but change.
But treat her with a sincere heart.
But it has never changed.
By the fifteenth day, she was almost unable to hold it any longer. The sky was gradually getting brighter, and people and cars were passing by on the official road in the rain.
She couldn't help but think, what if...
If she had agreed to him earlier, then wouldn't it be... that he would have no regrets?
Gu Guan was just daydreaming about this when the innocent young man in the landscape painting, whose ink marks were light, walked towards her against the dim light. He sat down with her under the eaves to let their feet get wet in the rain, and handed her a big bun filled with meat stuffing.
She was a little dazed, and suddenly she heard the hurried sound of horse hooves coming against the official road, and the faint sound of a straw raincoat fluttering in the wind.
Gu Wan was startled, and Huo stood up and looked up.
In the gradually brightening sky, with a drizzle, a young man in black armor, wearing a cloak and a straw raincoat, with wet and messy hair and an unshaven face, was standing under the eaves of the shop.
The raindrops dripped onto his hat. He was dressed in rags, his face was pale and haggard, but his eyes were deep, resolute and bright.
The outline of her pupils was just as gorgeous and beautiful as a rose blooming at night, just like when I first saw her.
"…Thank you?"
Gu Wan opened his eyes wide and said, "Thank you! Really thank you!"
What does it mean to be overjoyed? God will not let down those who work hard. Now it is happening!
She was ecstatic and rushed out like a gust of wind.
Under the rain, on the steps outside the eaves, the two hugged each other tightly!
Damn! Xie Ci is finally back!
Xie Ci is really back!
The author has something to say:
I am coming! !
Today is also a fat chapter, love you~ See you tomorrow, babies!! (づ￣3￣)づ╭
