Qingchuan History

Chapter 130 Mysterious Life

Gu Xingmo seemed to understand, but he didn't know what he thought of, and looked at her with a weird expression.

Ruan Xueyin didn't care, and looked far away again, only to see the twilight smudged, and the glow began to spread from the distant mountains.

"Your Highness, can you go around to the forest on the opposite side from here? Going down the mountain from there, which way is closer than going back the same way?"

Gu Xingmo stared: "Are we going to leave now? We finally came up, don't you wait for the Nine-Colored Deer?"

Ruan Xueyin looked at the sky again, and said calmly: "How long is your Highness going to wait? At this time, it is still an hour before nightfall. We have no lights or candles. There is no one patrolling this mountain, and it is half dark. Why? What should I do?" Seeing his reluctance, he said again: "Answer me first, which road is the closest?"

"In terms of the distance down the mountain, it is faster to go back the original way. But if you calculate the absolute distance from here to the palace, it is shorter to go down the opposite side. Because going down the mountain by the original way is going back."

Ruan Xueyin nodded: "That being the case, let's go along the edge of the valley to the opposite forest, and then go down the mountain. During this period, you can see what's going on in the valley, so you can count on waiting. No matter how dark the sky is, even if it comes out, you won't be able to see clearly. "

Gu Xingmo thought it was reasonable, so he stopped insisting.The two walked along the edge of the mountain, looking into the valley from time to time.The cool evening wind blows up the hem of the crimson cloak, which is particularly eye-catching in the green forest.

"Are you cold? Will you use the cloak?"

Gu Xingmo cast a disdainful glance at her: "The younger brother is a man, so why do you need a sister-in-law to give you a cloak?"

Ruan Xueyin laughed: "You are a child, and your physical fitness is no better than that of an adult, so you are more likely to catch cold."

"Sister-in-law is a woman, she doesn't do much activity on weekdays, she is no better than me practicing martial arts every day, long-distance running, riding and archery, she is physically strong."

"It seems that you are really busy. You have to read so many books and learn martial arts."

"It's all here. I was in the palace at that time, and I thought it was very early in the morning, and I asked Brother Nine how he could get up every day. Later I found out that he got up at the first hour of the day every day. Run a full circle on the outermost path of the garden, and if you have time, shoot a few arrows and practice a set of kung fu, then wash, have breakfast, and change clothes early in the morning."

Ruan Xueyin was a little surprised.Ji Wanling said those words on the first day of Autumn Hunting, and everyone also witnessed the scene of killing two eagles with one arrow, and their understanding of Gu Xinglang has expanded.Listening to Gu Xingmo's remarks now——

He is more diligent and self-disciplined than she thought, in everything.

"Ninth brother said that no matter what you want to do, planning or killing the enemy, even if it's just to be free and easy, living a long and healthy life is the most important skill. Life is not hard enough, and everything else is in vain."

indeed.She suddenly thought of fighting for the crown prince.

There was no more words along the way, Gu Xingmo looked into the valley below from time to time.Ruan Xueyin was getting tired gradually, and her steps were much slower than before.

Finally reaching the forest on the other side, Gu Xingmo was rather disappointed:
"I thought bringing my sister-in-law here would improve my luck. This nine-colored deer is really rare."

Ruan Xueyin smiled: "You are only nine years old, and you have plenty of time to wait. If I let you see it today, wouldn't there be a goal for such a long time in the future? I heard people say that life is only interesting if you have goals."

Gu Xingmo looked up at her: "Do you have a goal?"

Ruan Xueyin thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so. So in the eyes of others, I should be very boring."

"I don't think so. I think you are very interesting, sister-in-law, more interesting than all the women I have met so far."

"Because I know many plants and plants?"

"Because," he thought for a moment, he concluded: "You are as knowledgeable as a man, but you are not as petty as a normal woman."

"How do you say that?"

"Just now you said that Ninth Brother's good match is Sister Wanling. I didn't expect a concubine to say such a thing; according to the common sense I know, this is also unreasonable. Aren't you also one of the fourth wives? Don't you No, how do you say that word, jealous?"

If one thing has been repeated for too long, or digested back and forth for too long, one day it will be as normal as the sun rising and the moon setting.Ruan Xueyin didn't think it was a problem, she knelt down and looked at him seriously and said:

"Because it's a fact. A person can't compete with the facts. Just like living is also a fact, if you are obsessed with why you live, then you can't live well. Face the facts, accept them, and get over it before you can move forward."

Gu Xingmo was a little confused and frowned slightly.Ruan Xueyin thought to herself that she was a child after all, even if she had read through ten thousand volumes of books and was younger than her age, she would still not be able to understand many words.

Then he patted his head, stood up and looked forward——

This forest is very small.In fact, it is not small, but steep.Because of the steepness, there were not many trees to be seen at all. As the terrain suddenly sank, more trees sank below the horizon of the field of vision.So when they stand here, they can see the vast mountain depression.

As far as the eye can see, on the southwest side, there is a hut.

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyebrows: "On the opposite side, is the camphor forest I have been to before?"

Gu Xingmo nodded: "That's right. Listen to what Yunxi said in the afternoon, didn't you come here by walking the mountain last time?"

"Well. But last time I came from the opposite side, I didn't feel the existence of this valley at all. It's just a dense forest." She turned her head and looked at the colorful flowers at the bottom of the valley again. Almost hallucinatory.

"You walked on the other side last time. This area is so steep, who would walk? This deer ridge is long and narrow, and you should have come up from the northwest side."

Ruan Xueyin recalled for a moment and agreed, "Then what should we do now? Let's go down such a steep slope?" She took a few steps towards the forest, trying to assess the height——

In fact, it was superfluous, as you can tell from the condition of the mountain depression and the size of the hut, it is very high.

"what--"

Gu Xingmo also took a few steps forward, turned his eyes to the southwest, and stared intently for a while, still uncertain, but his face was full of suspicion.

"how?"

"I remember that Brother Nine dispatched a total of ten soldiers to the hut, why are there only six?"

Ruan Xueyin heard the words and looked over, of course it was far away, but the number of people could still be counted.The six soldiers were lined up within two or three miles around the hut, with some distance between them, but they surrounded the hut very well.

"Maybe it's time for dinner, so the shift is changing?"

Gu Xingmo frowned: "There are only ten people in total, there is no reason to change shifts. Moreover, they are not standing properly."

Ruan Xueyin was puzzled: "Isn't he standing right?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't know. Two years after Brother Nine took the throne, the Forbidden Army was reorganized, mainly because of changes in the organization method and the formation of soldiers."

"What does it mean?"

"Soldiers of different numbers, no matter in formation or guard, have fixed position rules. With the evolution law of multiples of numbers, there can be hundreds of formation formations. If sister-in-law is interested in this, you can ask Brother Nine in detail another day. In short, six That's not how human guards stand."

It is really unheard of to stipulate the position of soldiers and change the formation form according to the number of people.The meaning of this is that-

To prevent someone from impersonating the Forbidden Army?
