Chapter 156: Rush to the rescue
On this day, Gu Feixue and his group had passed Linzhou and the border town was in sight.
His determination to join the army was unyielding and never diminished in the slightest.
Rong Qi climbed to a high point and looked into the distance. He saw the mountains in the distance shrouded in mist, and the mountain road below him was endless. He couldn't help but sigh, "Eight thousand miles of clouds and moonlight, I'm almost at my destination."
"Is that over there?"
Gu Feixue longed for this place.
From the few words in Yuchi Shuo's letters in recent years, she had already imagined an image in her mind.
From his description, she seemed to see a city that was completely different from the capital.
There are no magnificent buildings with flying eaves and brackets that can be seen everywhere in the capital, no one can hear the noisy hawking sounds in the capital, and no one can taste the delicious food in the elegant restaurants with red sleeves and apricot curtains.
Gu Feixue quietly glanced at the person next to her, and there was also a hint of darkness in his eyes.
Rong Qi has traveled all over the world and visited many places over the years, but the one that moved him the most was the border town.
It is said that border towns produce the most military generals.
"Over there," Rong Qi said, looking at the end of his sight with his hands on the pergola, "look carefully."
Gu Feixue stood on tiptoe to look out. Her sight passed through the vast sea of forest and she could see vague black spots and some outlines in the mist.
In the distance, there is a world as open and clear as a whetstone.
"Let's go." Gu Feixue said.
Rong Qi teased without being cruel, "Xue'er, there's no turning back this time."
Gu Feixue was shocked, "I'm already here."
Both of them are martial artists. Even though the mountains are rugged and the peaks are gathered together, Gu Feixue and Rong Qi can walk on them as if they were flat ground.
This was a tough situation for Rong Xing. He could only watch the two men walk away at a brisk pace, shouting from time to time.
After coming down from the mountain, Gu Feixue was panting.
"I'm going to find some water."
"bawl."
Rong Qi knew what was going on and had already thrown the water bag over.
Gu Feixue accepted it with a smile.
He drank it all up in one gulp.
The two rested for a while.
"I'm hungry," she stood up with a rumbling stomach and looked around like a hunter, "I'm going to find something to eat. Wait for me."
"Freeloader?" Rong Qifei's thin lips curved into a smile. "Come on, both of you should hurry up!"
The two parted ways.
By the time Rong Xing finally got down the mountain after much difficulty, Gu Feixue's barbecue grill was already ready.
Cooking food is her specialty, and today she caught a mountain rabbit.
Recently, she has been chasing prey every day, partly to strengthen her body and partly as a form of training.
As for Rong Qi, he never grabs anything with his bare hands.
Gu Feixue turned the shelf, and a refreshing fragrance came to her face. Rong Xing approached her with a smile.
Gu Feixue glanced at Rong Qi who was stewing chicken soup, "Can you eat these pheasants? Don't poison your prey all the time in the future. We will die if we eat them."
Rong Qi remained indifferent and gave him a glare that was neither soft nor hard.
Rong Xing next to him chuckled.
These two of them were constantly creating new and exciting dramas together. With Gu Feixue around, the master also gained some popularity. He neither intervened nor tried to mediate, just being an honest bystander.
The roasted rabbit was cooked, and Gu Feixue skillfully sprinkled the seasoning on it. Everyone got one third, Rong Xing ate it with relish, and Gu Feixue gobbled it up voraciously.
At this moment, Gu Feixue didn't care about her image at all.
After eating, Gu Feixue sat upright and glanced at Rong Qi, "By the way, why did your carrier pigeon never come back?"
"I need to ask you this. The farther the destination, the longer it will take to return."
Rong Qi knew who Gu Feixue was sending the letter to.
Gu Feixue said nonchalantly, "I'll probably be back today."
She stood up and prepared to take a walk, firstly to see the exotic scenery of lakes and mountains, and secondly to help digest her food.
As soon as I walked onto the straight road, I saw a few travelers walking together.
A man on the left was mumbling something, and a weather-beaten man on the right sighed, "At least we're almost at the border town, otherwise we would have starved to death."
"Jiangzhou said they want to capture Gu Tingchuan. I think this is a windfall. They even have an arrest warrant. Isn't this just following the clues? But then again, Gu Tingchuan is also very lucky. He is still alive."
The other party sneered, "He's a martial arts expert. It's said that he's incredibly strong and can kill people like flies. So many people can't catch him. How can you and I just go over and get killed?"
"It seems so."
The other person nodded in understanding.
Gu Feixue was taking a walk when she suddenly heard the two of them seemed to be discussing something about Gu Tingchuan.
She was anxious at the moment and took two steps at a time to approach the two pale and skinny travelers.
"What were you talking about just now? Were you talking about Confucius's saying that wealth and honor are like floating clouds?"
The two men glanced at Gu Feixue, and the one on the left laughed out loud, "What Confucius? We were talking about criminals in the imperial court."
The two of them briefly recounted what they had seen and heard along the way.
Finally, the tall man concluded his speech, "If we can capture Gu Tingchuan, the court will offer a reward of 10,000 taels of silver."
"Reward, Snowflake Silver?" Gu Feixue murmured.
"That's exactly what I said. Miss, take a look at this arrest warrant."
The busybody sent over a portrait. Although it was only drawn with a few strokes, it clearly depicted the appearance of my brother Gu Tingchuan.
At this moment, Gu Feixue hurriedly turned around.
Rong Qi was reading a medical book very attentively.
Seeing Gu Feixue's unsteady steps and panic, he found it funny, "You also have moments of panic?"
"My brother has been exposed." Gu Feixue handed over the paper.
Rong Qi took a closer look and asked, "Where did this come from?"
Gu Feixue picked out the key points of what the two passersby had just said and repeated them to Rong Qi.
"I'm going to Jiangzhou. I'll discuss further plans after I contact my brother."
Gu Feixue was worried.
Fortunately, after leaving the mountains, Rong Qi had always been at home all over the world. Now that Gu Feixue wanted to change her route, he didn't say anything and followed stubbornly.
"By the way," Rong Qi handed the pigeon to Gu Feixue after entering the carriage, "There's a letter from over there."
The opening of the envelope was intact and had not been peeked at.
Not curious? That's right, Rong Qi isn't that kind of person after all.
Gu Feixue did not avoid it either. She took out the paper from the bamboo tube and spread it out on her knees to read it.
Rong Qi accidentally glanced at the letter paper and saw two stick figures drawn on it, a man on the left and a woman on the right.
The man on the left brought a group of small fry and seemed to be going somewhere.
The woman on the right is facing him, with towering mountains around her.
The center of the picture is divided into two, and an irregular circle with ripples is drawn at the fold point.
It has been nearly a year since she received a letter from Yuchi Shuo. At this moment, Gu Feixue was reading it with great interest.
"What?" Rong Xing poked his head out, ready to find out what was going on.
Gu Feixue took the paper and said, "Rong Qi, let's go to Jiangzhou."
"Why do you think so?" In Rong Qi's opinion, this was just a ghost painting on a peach charm.
Gu Feixue explained patiently.
After listening to her explanation, Rong Qi suddenly understood.
