Chang'an has a hometown, and the hometown belongs to Chang'an11
"Sister-in-law, something's wrong!" Gu Ruo supported her knees with her hands, breathing heavily, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her temples were messy and stuck to her cheeks.
"What happened? You're already such a grown-up, yet you're still so reckless." Gu Qingzhou smiled faintly, then calmly picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to her. "Drink some water and take a breath."
Gu Ruo shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks as if uncontrollably. She weakly tugged at Gu Qingzhou's sleeve, "My brother has been ambushed. His life is hanging by a thread..."
"How could it be?" The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces in an instant. A trace of panic crossed Gu Qingzhou's face, and then she forced a smile. "Your brother is the invincible general from your hometown! Impossible..."
"It's me..." Gu Ruo lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. She choked out, "It's all my fault. I was so stupid. I believed Prince Heshuo's words, thinking that his people would definitely be fine. But who knew, he..."
Gu Qingzhou walked quickly to her, his hands holding her shoulders turned slightly white due to excessive force, and his voice was trembling. "What's wrong?"
"He actually sent people to burn my brother's food supplies. Now my brother is isolated and helpless, without any food supplies. I'm afraid..."
Gu Qingzhou didn't catch a single word of what was said next. The words "life hangs in the balance" kept circling in her mind. Without another word, she strode to the stables, "06:09, I want to exchange for a Qiankun bag!"
0609: Host, you plan to rescue the hometown general
The sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was raging, blowing away the confusion that had been hidden in Gu Qingzhou's heart.
"That's right!" This time, she won't retreat again...
Fine raindrops fell on her cheeks through layers of dark clouds, and there was an unprecedented determination in her eyes.
"Congratulations, host, for successfully exchanging a Qiankun Bag, which comes with 600 tons of food and fodder, and a remaining love value of 10." 0609 paused for a long moment, then spoke earnestly, like an old father, "Host, you've changed..."
Gu Qingzhou pursed her lips, said nothing, jumped onto the horse, kicked off with her toes, and the horse rushed out at lightning speed.
-
The ground was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river. Gu Qingzhou was alone, dressed in a bright red robe, running through thousands of troops and heading towards his hometown.
"Chang'an" Guli's eyes froze, and the sword in his hand hesitated for a second. The enemy seized his mistake and an arrow shot out from behind him.
"Be careful." But at the critical moment, Gu Qingzhou stood behind Gu Li. The arrow pierced her heart and blood flowed out of her body continuously.
"Chang'an!" Guli turned around and hugged Gu Qingzhou in his arms. He tore off a piece of silk cloth from his clothes and pressed hard on Gu Qingzhou's wound.
Raindrops fluttered down to the ground, and the blood slid down the red dress into the rain, finally dissolving in the rain and disappearing...
Gu Li's eyes were stained red with blood. He pulled Gu Qingzhou's hand and put it on his cheek. "An An, it's okay. Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the doctor right away..."
Gu Qingzhou's hands moved slightly, and she managed to put on a pale, weak smile. "General, you once said that whatever I want, you must do your utmost to get it, and then give it to me. Do you remember?"
Guli looked at Gu Qingzhou with deep eyes, tears blurring his vision. After a long while, he nodded, "I remember."
His voice was dry, and every word came out of his throat.
"The general I love is a man of integrity. He will never abandon the people of the world for the sake of love. Hometown, I want you to return victorious. I want peace in the world, no more killing, and the people to live and work in peace. I want... you and I to have a clear conscience. Promise me, okay?"
The greatest sorrow is a dead heart, and the best way to feel dead is to smile.
Layer upon layer of heartache and sadness spread across Guli's usually cold eyes. He kissed Gu Qingzhou's forehead and finally smiled helplessly, "Okay, I promise you."
Gu Qingzhou smiled, her eyes curved as she looked towards Guli, "You said it, don't go back on your word!"
Guli is the person she loves, so she hopes that his life will be open and honest, facing the sunshine, without any dark side.
She pulled out a Qiankun bag from her clothes, and countless grains and fodder materialized from it. She glanced at the steamed buns beside her and said intermittently, "General, divide the grain..."
Gu Qingzhou's gaze traced Gu Li's face inch by inch, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance firmly in his mind...
"Chang'an!" Guli's heart-wrenching cry came to his ears. Gu Qingzhou's hands fell powerlessly from Guli's cheeks to the ground, and the red rope on Guli's hand also broke and fell to the ground...
Guli pulled the cloak on his body and carefully covered Gu Qingzhou with it. He bent down and gently kissed her lips. "An An, wait for me... I will take you home soon."
His movements were so gentle, and his eyes looking at Gu Qingzhou were full of affection...
The red dress burned his eyes. The woman he had hidden in his heart fell into a deep sleep in the heavy rain, and she slept forever from then on...
Guli stood up with bloodshot eyes and distributed food to the soldiers who were fighting hard. The well-supplied army turned defeat into victory in a short time and captured the enemy in one fell swoop.
The enemy was defeated step by step, and General Guli pursued them and annihilated them in one fell swoop.
-
The general from his hometown escaped death and returned victorious. The sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers were heard everywhere, and important officials in the court came to congratulate him. Even Prince Heshuo, who had always been at odds with him, came to congratulate him in person.
Guli looked at the exquisite food in front of him and felt that it was tasteless.
The next day, the emperor asked Guli what the wish was that he had been asked to promise. Guli was silent for a long time, then said, "I have only loved one woman in my life. I promised her that I would marry her one day. Now that the world is peaceful and there is no more war, it is time for me to fulfill my promise. Your Majesty, I have no other request except that you grant me and Chang'an a marriage."
"It's rare to find such an infatuated man. Since this is the general's wish, I will grant it!"
-
Gu Qingzhou watched Guli's every move through the screen. A deep crack appeared on the ice that wrapped around his heart. The crack became deeper and deeper, and the ice gradually broke. In the end, only the sound of his heartbeat could be heard.
"0609, is there any skill that can bring back life?"
0609: Sorry host, I don't have this function... But you can exchange it for the "Possession" skill~
"What?" Gu Qingzhou's eyes were fixed on the light screen, and his voice seemed particularly empty in this silent space.
0609: Although I cannot bring you back to life, I can temporarily seal your soul in Chang'an's body. You can't move, but you can feel and see.
"good……"
-
Red candles flickered in the house and drizzled outside. Guli took off the black clothes he usually wore and put on a bright red wedding dress. He gently lifted Gu Qingzhou's veil, held her face in his hands, and kissed her lips affectionately.
"Chang'an, I'm here to welcome you..."
Her wedding dress was as red as fire, stunning the time and blending into these endless and lonely years.
Gu Qingzhou sat motionless in front of Guli, letting Guli take off the gold, silver and jewels adorning his hair.
Guli's eyes were like the sea reflecting the stars, deep and captivating. As his thin lips moved, he uttered a few words: "I wish my wife's soul to return to her hometown. I wish the people to live and work in peace and contentment. I wish I could meet my wife again in the next life, hold her hand, and never tire of seeing her again."
-
From then on, a legend spread throughout the world: a general from my hometown, who had spent his entire life in the military and achieved great military success. In his lifetime, he had only one wife, the most famous concubine in the capital, and an incomparable beauty.
Everyone sighs that heroes cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.
But the world does not know that when the general was welcomed into the house with a wedding dress of ten miles long and a sedan chair carried by eight people, what he saw was a cold corpse.
Little did they know that when General Guli was losing ground, it was the famous prostitute they were talking about who single-handedly delivered food and fodder to the front lines. General Guli returned triumphantly, but Chang'an, the most famous courtesan in the capital, fell into eternal sleep.
Every night when everyone was asleep, General Guli would drink alone, always repeating, "My hometown is in Chang'an, and my hometown belongs to Chang'an."
-
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it's already spring. The sun shines softly on Gu Qingzhou, casting a layer of light golden light on her. A breeze blows through the treetops, and a cherry blossom petal flutters down and lands in her hair.
The faint fragrance of cherry blossoms lingered at the tip of her nose. Gu Qingzhou's consciousness gradually became blurred, and the scene in front of her eyes became more and more blurry. In a trance, she felt someone brushing the petals from her hair for her, and whispered deeply in her ear, "Qingzhou, I'm here to take you home. This time, I won't miss you again..."
Who is he and why does he call me Qingzhou?
Gu Qingzhou frowned. At the same time, 0609's metallic voice echoed in his mind, "The host has bad news for you. Because you died unexpectedly in the fourth world and failed to clear it, the system has specially opened a branch world for you."
Gu Qingzhou: What a horrible system! It's too much!
0609 said with a hint of reluctance, "Due to system settings, you must complete the dungeon world on your own. Therefore, I won't be able to accompany you in the next world. Please cheer on yourself. Go for it!"
Gu Qingzhou: ...
After a long while, 0609 finally arrived and said, "Oh right! I almost forgot something extremely insignificant! The system is set up so that if the host can pass the dungeon world, it will be considered a successful level and you can return to your original world!"
"Haha, it really is an 'extremely insignificant matter'!" Gu Qingzhou rolled his eyes to the sky.
0609: Without further ado, the copy world "Late Heartbeat" is about to be activated.
Just as he finished speaking, a slightly childish male voice rang out beside Gu Qingzhou's ears. "Okay, then I'll tell you an upgraded version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf! Once upon a time, there was a mischievous little girl who would take a group of lambs for a walk on the grassland. One day, she met a big bad wolf. The big bad wolf just wanted to tease her at first, but who knew that the little girl thought the big bad wolf regarded her as a good friend and kept pestering the big bad wolf..."
