Qingchuan History

Chapter 171 Walking Barefoot ([-])
I have to say that the topic is a good way to refresh yourself at this time.With the increasingly icy wind and the gradually dropping temperature, Ji Qi actually felt more awake than during the day.

"Your physical fitness is an inherent disadvantage. I discussed this issue with Shen Ji."

Shen Ji is considered half of Ji Qi's teacher, and he has often taught him martial arts riding and archery for many years, which is why the two of them have their own communication methods.

"When I was very young, I seemed to hear the third brother say that there is only one way of martial arts, but there are thousands of techniques. Some rely on strength and energy, while others emphasize lightness and agility; they each require different physical conditions. If you practice well, you can become a master.”

Ji Qi thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That's a good statement." Then he became more confused, and finally asked: "Why haven't I heard you say such useful words before? What kind of stimulation did you receive?"

Chunfeng was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "I don't know either. All kinds of words I heard over the years, especially those that I didn't like to listen to at the time, suddenly came back to my mind recently. The third brother passed away seven years ago, he said If you have passed, you can always think of a lot in the past few days. She is right, no moment of the time that passes is wasted. "

Ji Qi wasn't sure whether the "she" she was talking about was Prince Zhanfeng or who, he was confused, so he just continued:
"I've always wondered, you brothers and sisters are more capable than each other, especially the most powerful ones, they all have a good relationship with you. How can you be alone—" He wanted to say that he was ignorant, so he held back, " So different."

"Who knows? Maybe I want to be different from others in my heart. But it turns out that I can't. It seems that everyone has their own way to go, because of various restrictions. If you don't go this way, you can't live well. lifetime."

Auntie told her to listen to brother Jiu more and live her life well.

He also said that in the spring of that year when she first entered the cooking rain hall, she saw her shooting arrows in the court funny.Those bird chirps were really sweet, and many tones were combined to form a cheerful and melodious ditty.As they sang, the atmosphere gradually became uneasy. Even though they were still singing the birds, the tune became extremely sad. It sounded like an elegy.

She didn't remember that when the mother and concubine were in the cooking rain hall, the birdsong was so mournful. She panicked and wanted to see what happened to those birds, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.Until her cheeks were cold and sticky, and there was something cold and wet on her left cheek, she finally opened her eyelids with great effort.

She had never seen such a beautiful sky.It was clearly blue ash, but it was a vibrant blue ash. Under the large piece of blue ash, close to the ground, there was a long golden-red line that could not be seen at both ends extending infinitely.

It was at the end of the whole expanse of green and yellow tall grass that they were walking through.

She straightened up, staring at the increasingly blurred and brighter golden thread in a daze.

"You're awake. It's just dawn. Wait for the sunrise."

It's Ji Qi.She turned around, only to find that his back was wet.Such a cold autumn night, naturally it is not sweat.

She touched her face, and there was only a slight sense of water stains, which seemed to have been blown away by the wind.

He really wanted to ask her what dream she had and why she kept crying.Tears were shed in such a silent sleep, and the dampness and coolness on his back continued to spread throughout the second half of the night. The feeling was really hard to describe.

So much so that he once wanted to wake her up.

In the eyes of a young man who has not experienced anything, such crying is too tragic.

Even though he himself couldn't say why it was so tragic.

"Sorry. I seem to be having a nightmare. You must be cold right now."

She hugged him all night, and his descendants also lay on his back when he fell asleep, so the cold wind was completely blocked by her body.Even the coolness of the tears was only warm and cool, and her cheeks also blocked the wind.

If it is not wet and windy, it will not be too cold.

Instead, when she straightened up at this moment, he felt a sudden chill on his back.

Gu Chunfeng was blown for two hours, and now his nose was a little stuffy. After asking Ji Qi, he sneezed three times in a row.

"This way of traveling, it's better not to sleep, but it's easier to catch a cold when you sleep. Why don't you even bring a cloak when you go out so far?"

These things were all done by Auntie in the past.But she's gone.

She turned her head again and looked at the sky at the end of the weeds.The golden thread has been dyed into a bright sea of ​​light, and amidst the changing colors, a very positive red appears in the center of the sea of ​​light, gradually rising, and it is faintly visible as a small half circle.

The red as thick as blood keeps rising from the sea of ​​light. Chunfeng always feels that he doesn't see it move much, but the circle becomes more and more complete and clearer.

Ji Qi's speed was still very fast, and the wild grass passed by like a curtain, only the layered and interlaced rays of the sky were flowing back and forth.

Just when the circle completely jumped off the ground and just revealed its true face, the light suddenly dazzled.

Before Gu Chunfeng could take a closer look at the red sun, which was much bigger than the painting, he was squinted by the golden light.Waiting to look again, the rays of light have scattered out, and the sun is the sun that I often see in ordinary days.

"Sunrise is like this. Wait a long time and watch for a moment. You are lucky enough to wake up at the right time."

Gu Chunfeng was a little ashamed.She asked him to hurry without sleep, and said that she could keep talking with him to refresh himself, but she accidentally fell asleep.But the other party actually ran away all night——

Otherwise she couldn't have woken up.

"How long will it take to arrive in Qiancheng County?"

"It's over. We'll change horses at the next stop. Have something to eat along the way."

"Is there any news from Shen Ji?" She bit her lip, "Has he arrived yet?"

"Not yet. According to the news half an hour ago, he will be able to reach the border in the afternoon at the earliest. It is estimated to be Shen Shi."

After the conversation last night, until now, Ji Qi has somewhat guessed the outline of the matter——

It seems that Shen Ji is also chasing someone, or to be more precise, looking for someone, but he only knows that the scope is the northern border, and he is not sure about the specific location of the other party.

That person should be the one Chunfeng is going to say goodbye to.

So they want to chase Shen Ji.

Who is it?The person who accompanied Gu Chunfeng day and night for many years.Her maidservant, Auntie?Didn't Auntie violate the palace rules in September and was punished in the cold palace?
Day and night.From day to night.

For a day, such a process is very long; for a lifetime, it is just a fleeting moment.

Two nights and three days, in Ah Xie's perception, it was but a fleeting moment.She didn't deliberately hurry, she should eat and sleep, of course she slept in the carriage——

If she stayed in a hotel, it would waste too much time, and she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with Xiangshan's last autumn colors.

The car that took her out of Changxin Gate was arranged by the palace, and it dropped her off outside the city and returned.At this moment, she hired this car outside Jidu, the driver was from Qibei, she heard the accent, and thought of her adoptive parents, she felt a little kind.

But the two faces were already very blurry.She didn't know whether she should feel ashamed or blame herself, because she still couldn't be sure whether or not her adoptive parents knew about her father's plans and how much they knew.

She wasn't even sure if their deaths were natural or man-made.

"Girl, the border is ahead."

The familiar and unfamiliar accent sounded again, she opened the curtain of the car, and saw the vast world silent in the twilight.Farther away, where the sky and the earth meet, there is a whole stretch of what seems to be mountains.It was so long and so far away that she suspected it was just a mirage.

"Is that like a mountain?"
