Chang'an has a hometown, and the hometown belongs to Chang'an8
Gu Qingzhou was half leaning against the window. Outside the window, the night was long and dark. A few small stars were scattered in the dark sky, flashing silvery-white light.
A breeze brought some dust into Gu Qingzhou's eyes. She blinked, her peach blossom eyes moist. In a daze, the stars in the sky suddenly merged into one, transforming into the appearance of her hometown. In her ears, she seemed to hear the affectionate call of her hometown, "Chang'an..."
Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but raise his hand, but he couldn't catch anything. Only a wisp of breeze lingered for a moment on the tips of his slender white fingers.
She rubbed her eyes, and the stars in front of her seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with her, blending into the sky, but ripples had already appeared in her heart.
Her hometown and every detail of her life in the cabin kept circling and playing back and forth in her mind.
0609: Host, are you thinking about the general from your hometown? You like him.
Gu Qingzhou is a typical example of someone who is stubborn but stubborn. How could she possibly admit that she likes Guli?
But she was really frightened by 0609's words. She stood up quickly, but her body fell uncontrollably towards the window.
She closed her eyes, clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, and was about to be baptized by severe pain when she fell into a warm embrace.
The familiar warmth and the faint male hormones enveloped her. A teasing voice came to her ears, "We've only been apart for a short while, and Miss Chang'an can't wait any longer."
Gu Qingzhou's little face turned red, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into immediately.
She slapped away the cynical smile on Gu Li's face, stood up, and straightened her skirt as if something happened. "Why are you here?"
"Just wait and see."
Gu Qingzhou turned his head, slightly startled, "Waiting for the rabbit to come"
"Yes! Waiting for you, little rabbit who throws himself into my arms."
Gu Qingzhou kicked Gu Li's thigh hard, his eyes wide open, "Say that again!"
Guli looked at Gu Qingzhou's legs raised in the air, took a step back, walked behind Gu Qingzhou, and hugged her in his arms. He kissed the tip of Gu Qingzhou's ear restlessly, "Changan, I miss you..."
His voice is low and sexy, like a melodious violin tune.
Little stars emerged from the layers of clouds, and fine rays of light sprinkled on them. Gu Qingzhou turned around, and when their eyes met, the reflection of her hometown appeared in her pupils, which unexpectedly became her addiction to living in the deep sea for a long time.
At the same time, Gu Qingzhou felt the gentle shaking of his fingers. He smiled and said to himself, "Let's go! I'll take you to see something."
Gu Qingzhou followed Guli like a child who had just learned to walk, and Guli took her to a quiet forest.
"Close your eyes, count to five in your head, then open your eyes."
Gu Qingzhou followed Guli's instructions, but when she opened her eyes again, there was no sign of Guli.
"Hometown...Hometown..." The soft voice echoed in the forest, and the occasional sound of birds flapping their wings was a little eerie.
However, in the next second, the originally dark forest was surrounded by dots of fluorescent light. Gu Li walked out from the fluorescent light. He took Gu Qingzhou's hand and kissed it. "Do you like it?"
They were surrounded by fireflies in the sky. Gu Qingzhou raised her hand, and a tiny firefly flew to her fingertips, flashing a faint light, which was very charming.
Gu Qingzhou nodded, Guli smiled, squatted down, and hung a brocade bag full of fireflies around Gu Qingzhou's waist. The brocade bag was made of translucent fabric, which did not diminish the flickering light of the fireflies at all.
"This way, the night won't be pitch black anymore, and you can sleep peacefully..."
"What?" Her heart was beating like a drum, and her whole body was standing still.
"Nothing." Guli rubbed Gu Qingzhou's long hair, his eyes full of pampering and indulgence.
Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything. She just quietly looked at the fireflies in front of her, feeling the warm breath of her hometown on her cheeks.
Time passed silently, little by little, and the sky gradually turned into warm yellow.
Gu Qingzhou and Gu Li were walking on the way back. There were only a few people scattered on the street, but the sudden rumbling sound of their stomachs interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.
Gu Qingzhou covered his stomach in embarrassment, and heard the laughter from his hometown.
She took a few steps forward in a huff, but her eyes glanced back unconsciously and her steps were extremely slow.
"Don't be angry," Guli walked forward and handed the pancake in his hand to Gu Qingzhou's mouth, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Gu Qingzhou then slowly turned her head, stretched out her noble little hand like a proud little kitten, and gently took a bite of the fried cake.
The fried cake is crispy and soft. When you bite into it, the beef bursts in your mouth. It is unexpectedly delicious.
Gu Qingzhou took several bites in a row, nodded while eating, and silently gave a thumbs up to the small fried pancake in his heart.
"Wait a minute." Guli bent down, moved close to Gu Qingzhou's mouth, and gently rubbed the edge of Gu Qingzhou's mouth with the tip of her index finger.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingzhou widened her eyes and looked straight at Guli. Her heartbeat stopped for a moment and her breathing became rapid.
But the next second, several horses galloped past them, and Gu Qingzhou was pushed into Gu Li's arms.
His lips also touched Guli's thin lips.
Just when she was about to stand up, she was pulled into a corner by Guli and her mouth was tightly covered by Guli.
"Shh, don't talk." Gu Li's words rang in her ears, and every word was like a flame, passing through Gu Qingzhou's heart.
Gu Qingzhou bit his lips with his shell-like teeth, and looked at his hometown with a slightly blurred look. When he was about to give a kiss, he was interrupted by the noise not far away.
"What are you hesitating for!" A man's rough voice came into Gu Qingzhou's ears, followed by a woman's scream.
Gu Qingzhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl with a knife stuck in her chest, blood splattered on the spot.
The scarred man, the culprit, threw the little girl away like garbage, turned around and dragged a plainly dressed woman.
At his feet, another woman knelt. She had several wounds on her body, blood oozing from them. She hugged the man's thighs with both hands, sobbing, "Please, please, let my young lady go!"
The woman's face was covered with tears. She begged the man earnestly, but the man remained unmoved and kicked the woman.
The people around her looked at the heartbroken woman, but no one took action. Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and rushed in front of the man, "What kind of ability is it for a grown man to bully a woman!"
The man looked down at Gu Qingzhou, raised his hand and punched him, saying fiercely, "Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?"
The fist stopped in front of Gu Qingzhou, bringing a gust of wind. Guli grabbed the man's hand and twisted it with his backhand, and the man fell to his knees.
Guli looked coldly at the man on the ground. Her voice was like ice, chilling to the bone. "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch my people?"
"General Guli..." The man fell to his knees, his body shaking uncontrollably.
Gu Qingzhou walked to the woman's side and untied the chain on her legs. "Are you okay?"
The woman shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you, young lady."
As soon as she finished thanking him, she crawled to her young lady's side and gently pulled her sleeve, "Miss, are you okay?"
All she got in response was a resounding slap. The person called "Miss" pointed at her head viciously and said, "Do you really want me to die? You useless thing, you can't even hold a person back."
The woman didn't care about anything and kept apologizing and kowtowed to their young lady. Her head hit the ground with a loud noise, but she seemed to feel no pain and continued to do so one after another.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingzhou walked forward and wanted to help the woman on the ground, but she opened her eyes.
"Humph, I didn't ask her to stop, how dare she stop!"
Gu Qingzhou turned her head and looked at the person who called herself a lady with a scornful smile on her face. She clenched her fists tightly and her heart kept heaving up and down.
The woman who kowtowed finally lost her strength and fell into Gu Qingzhou's arms. She raised her head and looked at the white clouds in the sky, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I was originally an orphan, but fortunately the Prime Minister valued me and made me your personal maid."
She paused, her breath growing weaker. "Unfortunately, not long ago, Qi was defeated, the Prime Minister was killed, and I was forced here to serve as a palace maid. We took advantage of the chaos to escape, but who knew we'd run into this human trafficker along the way..."
Gu Qingzhou looked at the helpless and sad expression on the woman's face and was speechless for a moment. Victory and defeat are common in the military, and the loser is destined to have no good ending. However, when things really happened in front of him, the visual impact was completely different from what he had imagined.
She had never imagined that the scene that was only mentioned briefly in history books would be like this.
"What about the others?"
The woman shook her head. "The others fled to protect the young lady and died. Only Pearl and I are left. Pearl was also killed by human traffickers not long ago..."
She gently tugged at Gu Qingzhou's sleeve and said intermittently, "Please, save our young lady..."
Gu Qingzhou's eyes were sore, she blinked, "Your young lady treated you like this, why did you help her?"
The woman forced a smile. "I'm a worthless creature, and death is not worth regretting. If it weren't for the Prime Minister, I would have died a violent death long ago. Now that the Prime Minister is gone, I have nothing to repay him with. I only ask that you protect the young lady. Please, promise me..."
"Okay, I promise you." After hearing Gu Qingzhou's promise, the woman smiled with relief and then looked away.
But the young lady she wanted to protect remained indifferent, even sneering, "Serves you right."
"You may be the daughter of the Prime Minister, but what qualifications do you have to treat human life as worthless?"
The prime minister's daughter smiled. She stood up shakily, walked over to the woman, and nudged her lightly with her toe. "You really think she's a good person? Ha, how ridiculous!"
