Biography of Qingwu

Chapter 13

At dawn, Chen Qingwu arrived at the gate of Cuicheng alone on light cavalry. The guard at the gate of Cuicheng looked at the person carefully, and said in surprise: "Miss! It is the lady who is back!"

Chen Qingwu patted him on the shoulder, because the sky was slightly bright and the city gate hadn't been opened yet, so he said, "Hurry up and open the gate."

"Open the city gate!" The guard shouted, taking advantage of the time to open the door, he asked, "Miss, did you come back overnight? Why did you come from the direction of Yingdu? Miss..."

The city gate was wide open, interrupting his questioning. Chen Qingwu smiled and said, "Brother Fan, you have so many questions. I haven't seen you for three years. Has Brother Fan married a wife? I guess not." , the proprietress of Avonzhai doesn't like you, do you like other girls these years? Brother Fan..."

Fan Chong got a headache when he heard this, this girl loves to poke people's heart when she speaks, she really can't afford to provoke her, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, go home soon!"

Chen Qingwu got on his horse triumphantly, strangled his rope and entered the city.

This is the early morning in Cuicheng, the foggy sky makes the whole street in front of us foggy, dew hangs on the leaves, the quiet space is only a faint sound from the bun shop.

Chen Qingwu stopped in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop, and raised his voice to ask, "Boss Zhang, are your steamed stuffed buns ready?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Boss Zhang came out of the room covered in flour in doubt, and his puzzled face immediately turned into surprise, "Miss Qingwu! Ah, Miss Qingwu hasn't come back for three years! Baozi will have to wait a while Well, how about I send my apprentice to the mansion later?"

Chen Qingwu smiled when he heard the words: "Yeah, I haven't been back for three years, but I miss your house's bean buns! Then I will send someone to my house later, please!"

The two sides said goodbye, and Chen Qingwu walked slowly in this familiar city.There are too many memories of her here.

Cui City is adjacent to Yingdu, which originally belonged to Yingdu, but it was divided out during the previous dynasty. Yingdu became a heavily guarded border pass, and Cuicheng became a safe place for the elderly, weak, women and children.It used to be a war-torn border city. When Chen Qingwu was young, he also experienced Di Rong entering the city, killing, burning and looting.At that time, she could only cover the mouth of her babbling younger brother with red eyes, and quietly hid in the dark, waiting for her father to repel the group of tall and vicious Di Rong.

After she was ten years old, Chen Qingwu joined the Taiyi Sect and became the head disciple of the sect. Her peers praised her as a genius and praised her as the No. 1 Taiyi Sect, but who knows how much bitterness lies behind the genius.

Chen Qingwu's thoughts ranged from Di Rong's invasion, to worshiping Taiyi Gate, and fighting against Di Rong with his father.Before I knew it, I had arrived in front of the house.

The servant at home was yawning and opening the door. He saw Chen Qingwu in a daze, and immediately woke up. His brows were filled with joy, and he turned and ran in, shouting: "My lord! My lord! Miss is back!"

Chen Ge was getting dressed, and he suddenly became happy when he heard the words, but he still said calmly: "I'll be back when I come back, there's no fuss."

He turned and saw his daughter was already standing behind him.

"Father."

"Why do you come home early in the morning? In the past, every time you came back at night, you must have traveled all night when you came back early in the morning. There is no urgent matter at home, so why bother?" Chen Ge straightened his clothes, looked at his tired daughter, My heart is a little sour.

Chen Qingwu pulled his father and said to the boy, "Ah Qin, feed the horse for me."

The boy hurriedly agreed to go out.

Chen Qingwu said seriously: "Father, there is indeed an urgent matter for my daughter to return home."

Father and daughter sat opposite each other, Chen Ge looked at her suspiciously

Chen Qingwu poured a glass of water and offered it to Chen Ge, then sat down and said, "Father, you know that the emperor Zhao Qianling gave the throne to his third son, Zhao Huaining a few days ago."

"I don't know. Our border is far away. I think the news hasn't come." Chen Ge drank the water in his glass and said, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The emperor can't reach us, and we can't control the affairs of the imperial city."

"My daughter went down the mountain from Taiyi Gate, passed through the imperial city, and met a maid who came out of the palace on the edge of the imperial city. There is something hidden about Zhao Huaining's ascension to the throne!"

Chen Ge became interested and asked, "Oh? What's the secret?"

Chen Qingwu got up, walked to the door and looked around, making sure that no one was behind to close the door, walked back to the table and sat down, and said: "Zhao Huaining forced the palace to get the edict of the Zen position. The maid I met held the Zen seat in her hand. I escaped from King Anjing's blood edict, so I escorted her all the way to Yingdu, and I also met someone who arrested her on the way. This incident is definitely true. Thinking back when Zhao Huaining was awarded the title for robbing merit, it can be seen that this person achieved his goal. It’s not uncommon for someone to force the palace to kill his father by any means.”

"Since the edict has been delivered, it is a matter between King Anjing and Zhao Huaining, and has nothing to do with you." Chen Ge knew what Chen Qingwu was thinking.He couldn't help scolding her while speaking.

Chen Qingwu became anxious, and said, "Father, we are the people of Zhao State, and my father is a city guard. Supporting justice is what people in the world should do. We must lead by example. For the sake of our family and the country, how can we let Zhao Huaining like that? People sitting high in the temple? Such selfishness and tyranny will surely make life miserable for the people in the future."

Chen Ge is nearly 40 years old and is about to leave office. The enthusiasm of his youth has receded. He had a daughter at the age of 50, and a son at the age of [-]. He just wants to live a stable life when he is old. At such a juncture, let’s forget it, what happens to the court, what happens to the world, it’s not something that an old man like me can worry about.”

Chen Qingwu was a little surprised. In her heart, her father had always been a hero, "Father, where did your bravery in fighting Di Rong go?"

"These illusory things will eventually disappear with time." Chen Ge's eyes dimmed for a moment. Indeed, he joined the army when he was young and wanted to make a name for himself in the barracks. Youth is gone, children have grown up, he is old, and the blood he once had has gradually disappeared.He said sadly again: "I will accomplish nothing in my life as a father."

Chen Qingwu retorted dissatisfiedly: "How can my father achieve nothing? Back then, my father fought against Di Rong three times. He was seriously injured and refused to leave the battlefield. In the end, he killed General Di Rong, and Di Rong returned later. If there is no father, Di Rong is now I'm afraid he is still unscrupulously harming the people of our country of Zhao. Speaking of this, when Zhao Huaining led the expedition, Di Rong had already been repelled when he came. , we don't have any connections in the imperial city, we can only watch helplessly as the rewards we earned with our lives are snatched away by the high-ranking prince. Father, don't you hate seeing your arms that you can't straighten up to now? Don't you want to send Zhao Huaining Pulled from a high position?"

Chen Qingwu's series of questioning pierced his heart, but he still said stubbornly: "At that time, fighting against foreign aggression was not for the purpose of becoming a general. The sad thing is that I always thought that meritorious deeds would make you stand out, but in fact life will not be true. fairness."

Chen Qingwu's eyes turned red, "This world is not fair. The weak are always bullied. The father gave birth to a daughter, and the daughter worshiped the Taiyi Sect for ten years. She cultivated martial arts and established morality. Can't the daughter go out and break into the world?" ? Let those high-ranking nobles take a look, those who came out of the backcountry are no worse than anyone else!"

Chen Ge nodded, his eyes turned red, and said: "Qing Wu has such great ambitions, I am very pleased with my father, since you have thought about it, then go ahead and do it. I can't control you if you have big ideas since you were young, it's just the same, the battlefield is dangerous , the future is uncertain, so be careful."
