Xiao Dong was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "You two are really like a patient in a panic meeting a slow doctor."
Doctor Li glared: "Are you expecting me, an old man, to hold the Marquis and stop him from hitting people? It would be bad if we got accidentally injured. If you want to live a long life, don't go to dangerous places and don't meddle in other people's business."
Xiao Dong said, "Senior Sister, the Marquis really hit hard. That person is only breathing out and not in. Why don't you go and take a look?"
"……this……"
Qin Yuan stood up, but hesitated to move forward.
Yelü Guzha delivered himself to Lord Gu's doorstep to vent his anger, which was quite a coincidence. With both old and new grudges combined, he might actually get seriously injured.
But I can't just let this breath out.
this……
Doctor Li hesitated for a moment, then said, “How about we watch from a distance? Let’s make this clear: if someone really gets killed, I can’t save them. But if they’re beaten black and blue, have broken arms or legs, or ribs, I can still treat them. Although I never treat members of the Yelü clan, I can break that rule for the sake of the Marquis. But…”
"You'll have to pay more!" Xiao Dong impatiently finished making up the difference and pulled Li Langzhong out like a radish being pulled up: "Master, hurry up and go, or it might be too late to cure him."
"Oh, you child, you're rushing around like a headless chicken, you clearly haven't seen many big events..."
Doctor Li was dragged away.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Yuan had someone carry a medical kit and followed after them.
It was already dark outside, and the courtyard lights were on. The figures of Doctor Li and his apprentice had long since disappeared into the shadows.
Hongye couldn't help but say, "You say Xiaodong is impatient, but I think Doctor Li is quite anxious too."
Qin Yuan said, "They must have been in a hurry to go see the excitement, leaving their medicine box behind."
Hongye said, "Miss, you're not worried."
“What am I worried about?” Qin Yuan asked curiously. “If the Marquis really kills someone, there’s no use in me worrying. The Marquis handled Yelü Guzha very well at the Imperial Academy last time. Xiao Dong is just a child, and he’s bound to be scared when he sees blood flowing.”
Yelü Guzha repeatedly tried to plot against the Marquis's mansion, but Marquis Gu refrained from taking action.
If Lord Gu really couldn't resist killing Yelü Guzha, he must have already come up with a plan.
Cui Ming said, "Miss is just being stubborn. She was in a hurry to go just now."
Qin Yuan laughed and said, "Didn't Doctor Li remind me? When Xiao Dong met him, it was like a madman meeting a slow doctor. After slowing down and thinking about it again, it doesn't seem so urgent anymore."
Even the red leaves are smiling.
"That's true. Sixteen is a smart man. If he had really beaten someone to death, Sixteen would have come to call for a young lady long ago. By then, Xiao Dong's short legs would have been dead several times over."
Cuiming whispered, "Miss, look at Hongye, she never forgets to praise her son, Sixteen."
Red leaves go to pick green tea.
Qin Yuan laughed and said, "You've been putting on an act in front of us every day. What exactly did you two discuss? In the end, didn't you still have to come and get me to nod in agreement? You've been hiding things from us, thinking we don't know anything."
Hongye pretended not to hear and kept chasing Cuiming away.
Qin Yuan ignored them and hurried towards the training ground laughing and joking. From afar, she could see Lord Gu standing alone in the dim light, his figure desolate.
Qin Yuan hesitated for a moment and slowed her pace.
"Why are you only arriving now?"
Lord Gu said from afar.
Qin Yuan raised her voice and said, "I heard that you are in a frenzy and no one can stop you from killing. I've thought about it and decided to come and see just how crazy you are, Lord Marquis."
Lord Gu burst out laughing.
"Aren't you afraid I might accidentally hurt you?"
As Qin Yuan approached him, she smiled and said, "If you, Marquis, cannot restrain yourself, how can you become a war god?"
Lord Gu raised his head and looked at the waning moon in the sky, his tone forlorn: "What is a God of War?"
He is not a god after all.
He couldn't save his father and brothers.
He achieved great success, but most of those who accompanied him died.
He was a lucky survivor who walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How long can he maintain this glory and luck?
If only he were still the third young master of the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion, those would be the happiest and most carefree time of his life, with his family and his dearest friends still around.
But at that time, he was eager to go to the battlefield and make a name for himself.
Where are they?!
How many regrets remain!
Qin Yuan slowly approached and immediately smelled the strong stench of blood on his clothes. The dark, tight-fitting outfit completely obscured the blood. She also slowly looked up at the bright moon.
The moon is slowly about to enter its next cycle.
The brightest and roundest day will be the day for family reunion.
But……
The Gu family can no longer be reunited.
Qin Yuan said slowly, "I believe that a God of War is not someone who is invincible, but rather someone who can stop killing with killing, and who can use war to intimidate the world. Those who are good at fighting will ultimately die in the water, and those who are skilled at hunting tigers will ultimately die in the tiger's jaws. If wars continue endlessly, the nation will eventually decline. My husband not only defeated the enemy and preserved the territory, but also ended the war."
Gu Jinghui lowered his head and looked at her intently.
Qin Yuan continued: "The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of clouds. The long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass. The Han army descends the Baideng Road, while the Hu barbarians spy on the Qinghai Bay. This has always been a battlefield, where no one returns. The soldiers on guard gaze at the border towns, their faces etched with longing for home. In the high towers this night, their sighs are never silent. This is Li Bai's 'Moon over the Mountain Pass'."
"Since the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the states of the Central Plains have suffered from wars with the barbarians and the Di and Rong tribes. My husband's achievements are astonishing no matter when they are considered. Throughout history, generals have been as numerous as carp crossing a river, but how many have been able to leave their mark on history? Most of them made great contributions but did not die a good death, or they fought well but did not receive a title, and some even died before achieving their goals. How can my husband not deserve the title of God of War?"
Gu Jinghui pondered for a while, then smiled again.
He was a good fighter, he won, he made great achievements, he made a name for himself in history, and he came back alive.
Indeed, if he's not the God of War, then who is?
Gu Jinghui immediately felt warm again. His little wife was like a ray of light shining on him, and he felt like he had returned from hell to earth.
He said softly, "Go back. I have blood on me, and I smell bad. Stay away from me so you don't get bothered by the smell."
Qin Yuan's delicate nose immediately wrinkled, with creases appearing on both sides.
Gu Jinghui felt even better.
Qin Yuan asked reproachfully, "Is it the blood of that Yelü dog?"
Gu Jinghui laughed loudly: "I thought you would find me rude. Don't you despise me for killing people?"
"You killed that Yelü dog?"
Under the moonlight, her eyes were wide open, like two bright pools of water, drawing him in completely.
"How lucky I am! Not only did I come back alive and preserve the glory of my ancestors, but I also married such a wonderful wife who will continue the Gu family bloodline in the future." Gu Jinghui thought to himself, "If I am not the God of War, then who should be? Having paid such a high price, I must live well and live a worthwhile life."
Seeing that he was just staring at her without saying a word, Qin Yuan stamped her foot and said angrily, "I'm asking you a question, why aren't you saying anything?"
