One person guards the lonely city, invincible in the world

Chapter 59 Kiss You Openly

The two walked hand in hand, trekking through mountains and rivers.

Most of them travel across the countryside and reach the Jialing River, each with an oar, Gu Chang'an at the bow, Bailu napping and resting in the middle cabin, and Li Wan sitting at the stern.

Paddle into the reeds, Gu Chang'an leaned on his arms and fell asleep, Li Wan took off the human skin mask, revealing an incomparably beautiful face.

She raised her delicate eyebrows and said lightly:

"Two hundred years ago, in this reed field, King Luo Bin wrote an article "A Call for Martial Arts for Xu Jingye", which will surely be immortalized forever."

The empress knows history at her fingertips, and now she is just looking for topics to talk about, and the two of them are often dull and boring when they get along.

It's funny, she has always been aloof, but facing Gu Chang'an, she had to take the initiative to break the atmosphere.

Gu Changan denied it:
"I don't think he will be remembered by future generations with this article, but with a poem."

"Which song?" Li Wan asked.

Gu Chang'an turned his head and pointed at the wild geese playing thirty feet away, and read in rhythm:

"Goose, goose, goose, singing to the sky."

"The white hair floats in the green water, and the red palm dials the clear water."

"Ying Goose?" Li Wan looked surprised, shook his head and laughed, "Impossible, it's just a kid's doggerel."

Gu Chang'an said casually: "Looking back in one's life, the most enviable thing is the simple happiness of childhood."

Li Wan clicked his delicate chin, looked at him suddenly and said, "But you have never even had this kind of happiness."

"Isn't there now?" Gu Changan stared at a group of wild geese holding grass.

The empress suddenly lowered her head and smiled, as if she realized that she had smiled for no reason, and regained her calmness, but the amorous feelings at that moment overshadowed the spring.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Changan asked.

"No." Li Wan shook his head.

You are finally starting to live for yourself, isn't it worth being happy, there is still me in the process, I will only be a little happier, maybe far more than a little bit.

Gu Changan picked up the bamboo hat and put it on.

Li Wan looked into the distance, a light boat was going down the river, she also covered herself, revealing her identity would always disturb An Yi.

The light boat approached, and the girl in the pink skirt came slowly, looking at Gu Chang'an, and said in Shu official dialect:
"No, that son is the real elegant. In comparison, you are a bumpkin."

"Oh." Chen Jie grunted. Although his face was covered by a bamboo hat, his aura was rare in the world.

Although the partner around her is mediocre in appearance, she also has a noble and elegant atmosphere, and her status must be extraordinary.

"Let's go, go to Jiange to meet your parents." Chen Jie said cautiously.

The girl's eyeballs twitched, she suddenly pointed her finger at Li Wan, and said with a smile like a flower:
"Meeting by chance, it stands to reason that I shouldn't be rude to my sister, but seeing you carrying a sword box, if you are not a master of swordsmanship, how can you please the young master, my sister would like to ask for advice."

Li Wan was stunned.

In fact, she knew the girl in front of her, the daughter of the Deputy Pavilion Master of Jiange.

Your father still has to respectfully call me Your Majesty, you little girl dares to be eccentric...

"Why, afraid of being exposed?" The pink skirt girl raised her chin and said in a coquettish voice:
"Young master, can I get to know you?"

Gu Chang'an felt amused, glanced at the frustrated young man, and then looked at the wandering eyes of the young girl.

"Little girl, I will satisfy you." Li Wan smiled slightly, seeing through that the other party deliberately wanted to make the boy jealous.

She just shook her wrist, and there was a slight sound of silk tearing, and then wisps of sword light penetrated from between the sleeves of the skirt.

The girl was speechless, before sheathed her sword, she yelled crisply: "I admit defeat!"

The sword energy turned and sank into the river, startling a group of wild cats fluttering their wings.

"Hmph, I've achieved something with the sword, I'll look for you again!" The girl in the pink skirt snorted and left with a paddle.

Chen Jie squatted beside the boat, grabbed a reed nearby, and chewed it in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yum wood head!" the girl scolded coquettishly.

Chen Jie felt aggrieved, and mumbled:

"Have you forgotten how beautiful I am in Chibi? The wooden sword is stained with the blood of wild dogs, and I can be ranked among the top [-] sword cultivators."

"Is there only one thing worth showing off in your life? Besides, you didn't kill it." The girl threw the oar to him.

"No, there are two, and the other is you." Chen Jie said seriously.

The girl's cheeks turned red, "Poor mouth!"

Chen Jie giggled, looked back at the boat that was drifting away, and suddenly shouted with all his strength:

"Gu Yingxiong kills the gods with one sword, recasts the flesh, and rectifies the backbone of the Central Plains with his own strength, the whole world celebrates!"

The girl covered her ears, feeling that he was naive, and wondered:
"Why do you repeat this sentence when you meet people along the way?"

Chen Jie's smiling face became bright, and he didn't say a word.

Until the snow-white figure disappeared from sight, tears welled up in his eyes:

"He is Gu Yingxiong."

"Ah!" The girl screamed subconsciously, her face full of disbelief.

Chen Jie casually wiped away his tears, choked up and said:
"I only feel that sword energy now, it's unmistakable."

"Idiot, you...why didn't you remind me, let's chase." The girl was bouncing and jumping excitedly, and she was about to turn the bow of the boat.

Chen Jie stopped her and said softly:
"Since you're wearing a bamboo hat, let's not bother you."

"Gu Yingxiong is too tired. No one in the world has done more than him. He should live a quiet life."

The girl stomped her feet to give up, her face was full of regret, and she smiled happily after thinking about it.

In fact, the people of the Central Plains all hope that Gu Yingxiong will come back. This is the happy ending of the story.

"Chen Jie, I forgive you."

"What did I do wrong?"

"It's wrong to say you're wrong!!"

As the boat went away, Li Wan's eyes widened:
"You killed the land god?"

"Ah."

Li Wan was at a loss for words, what he said was just walking around casually, killing gods with one sword, really casual.

"That boy is born with a sword." Gu Changan said.

"Why do you call other people a bitch for no reason?" Li Wan frowned.

Gu Changan raised his hat slightly, and looked at her for a while:
"You're not good at activating the atmosphere."

With a smile on his face, Li Wan pushed back his messy hair to hide his embarrassment, and sighed:
"The talent gap between them is too great. If they don't die halfway, the lower limit of the young man's practice is a swordsman. No matter how hard the girl works, she will stop at the fifth rank."

"In the future, can you hold hands until the youngest?"

Gu Chang'an replied: "People change and remain the same, and often they don't even know it."

Li Wan stretched her waist, facing the gentle spring breeze, she said slowly:

"That young man should be the leader of the future generation. Our nation has been like this since ancient times, and each generation has a mission for each generation."

"Your mission is complete, now it's time to do what you want to do and see the scenery you want to see."

Gu Changan was silent and did not answer.

Li Wan's eyes dimmed, how she wished to hear the word "good".

……

Traveling eastward all the way, he arrived at the prosperous Jinling City at the end of March.

The two of them still get along the same way, they can't speak a few words a day, but they are both used to it.

Under the night, the banks of the Qinhuai River are bustling with laughter and laughter.

Many Goulan women leaned on the poles, revealing pink and tender arms like white lotus roots. Scholars waved their fans and held scrolls, shouting that "it is better to hang their heads on the gate of the country than to record the history, and it is better to die at the border than to do nothing." Xinji is still famous for it.

The two got off the boat and walked side by side, and came to a brothel full of people.

"There is a delicious dish in it." Li Wan whispered, still remembering that when he walked around the world with his sword, he would visit this building when he passed Jinling.

When he came to the remote box on the third floor, Li Wan ordered two bowls of steamed lotus root and jade well rice, put his hands on his chin, and listened to the storyteller's vivid narration.

"That night, the cold wind howled!"

"That night was bloody and rainy!"

"One hundred thousand jade dragons rise from Chibi, and one person is alone in the holy city. Our official historian of Chu State asserts that it will be the most glorious night in the history of the Chinese nation!"

"he……"

Xingmu slapped the table and stopped abruptly.

Whether it is a hooker woman or a drinker, they all began to curse, bluntly saying that cheating money does not bring such things.

How to kill gods, how barbaric dogs cry, how disfigured the queen, you don't even talk about it.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Wan thought it was the delicious food, so he said please come in.

Unexpectedly, it was a book boy carrying a basket, and said cautiously:
"It's not easy for Master to tell a book, please reward it according to your circumstances."

Li Wan laughed, "Just a few words, are you willing to extend your hand?"

"Isn't it exciting enough?" The book boy asked back.

Li Wan glanced at Gu Changan, then weighed the remaining money in his sachet, took out half a copper coin and threw it over.

"I wish a happy marriage for a hundred years!" The book boy smiled and went to the next box.

Li Wan was stunned, and then a smile rippled in his graceful eyes, jokingly said:
"You have to pay for listening to your own deeds. There is no such reason in the world."

Gu Changan twitched the corners of his mouth, the world is so interesting.

"You have supported tens of thousands of storytellers in the Central Plains. According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs at the end of last year, the storytellers in Datang alone paid a full 39 taels of tax. You can imagine how much they earned."

After Li Wan sat down again, his body leaned forward, and his chest inadvertently formed an astonishing curve on the edge of the table.

Gu Chang'an didn't answer, took off his bamboo hat and looked down at the noisy brothel, gifted scholars, beauties, knight-errants, all gathered together to sing and sing wildly after drinking.

Staring at those clear eyes, Li Wan felt distressed for no reason. She wasn't sure if Gu Chang'an would take the initiative to undo the shackles of the nation, but she hoped that the two of them could go on like this forever.

Li Wan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, with a sense of beauty in a confusing way, he suddenly mustered up the courage to lean over and kissed Gu Chang'an's right cheek lightly.

As soon as the dragonfly touched the water, the empress's eyes were instantly bewildered, and she quickly closed her eyes.

Gu Changan also gradually lost his breath, but soon laughed silently.

The box fell into a long silence.

Until Xiao Er Duan came to steam the lotus root and jade well rice, he only glanced at the white hair rolled up by the bamboo hairpin, and then turned his gaze to that face, he was dumbfounded.

Seeing that he was about to yell, Gu Changan made a silent gesture.

"Okay...okay." Xiao Er said tremblingly, closing the door quietly, leaning against the door, her heart beating violently.

At this moment, his eyes were full of hot tears, regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he let the tears flow.

Only when you really see Gu Yingxiong with your own eyes will you understand how moved you are, it is an emotion that cannot be controlled at all.

"Let's go." Gu Chang'an's flat voice came from inside, and the bowl of delicious Yujing rice had already bottomed out.

Li Wan's eyelashes fluttered twice, he chewed and swallowed slowly, and silently put down his chopsticks.

The two did not speak, and left Fengmanlou one after the other.

The boat was floating on the Qinhuai River, Gu Changan stood erect on the bow, the fingers on his sleeves twitched from time to time, as if the sword energy was about to gushe out, he tried his best to hold it back.

The limit has arrived.

He should move the city, he should chop up the barbarian land gods, and he should give the Chinese nation a stable Central Plains.

But he wanted to be late.

Later.

"Now..." The empress finally adjusted her emotions, hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time, turned her head to Wanfeng and said softly:
"Are you going to Chang'an now?"

Gu Changan didn't speak.

The long eyelashes concealed the disappointment in the empress' eyes, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Looking at the increasingly lonely woman, he smiled and nodded:

"it is good."

The empress smiled.

The two of them continued to drive, one deer and one boat, gradually becoming less crowded. The empress took off the human skin mask, thinking that the disguise just now didn't count, so she stood on tiptoe.

"Someone is watching us." Gu Changan took half a step away from her, bowing his head and paddling.

On the distant Jinling tower, the old man in the shirt looked relieved, and suddenly bowed deeply in that direction, just like visiting a Confucian master when he was a child, then it was for himself, but now he is for the people of the Central Plains.

"Is the master of the academy gone?" Li Wan was a little awkward.

"gone."

"Oh."

……

……

Tuoba walked to the window, from here you can look across the nine palaces and overlook the holy city. The pilgrimage palace is shining brightly in the morning sun, like the beauty of a glazed fairyland, and the giant palm of time has smoothed everything down.

She stroked her scarred face. After that night, she never looked in the mirror again, and she didn't even dare to look at the water, because it would reflect how ugly and hideous she was.

"The world." The crutch old woman pushed open the palace door, and a beam of light illuminated the dark bedroom.

Tuoba Tianxia hurriedly put on the golden mask, turned around and saw the old woman's gloomy face.

"Follow me to the abyss." The old woman said wearily.

Tuoba Tianxia suddenly laughed out loud:
"Have the results of the wizard's peeking at the light curtain come out?"

"Five times." The old woman was weak, with a hint of confusion in her sunken eye sockets.

"Hahahahaha, you haven't been ravaged enough, right?" Tuoba Tianxia leaned forward and backward with a laugh, laughing unscrupulously.

The old woman was silent for a moment, then suddenly roared madly:
"Yes!"

The accumulated aggrieved almost made her collapse.

A terrestrial fairy died, the holy city suffered more than 20 casualties that night, the queen was disfigured, her lonely soul recast her body, and she danced openly at the top of the city...

All kinds of humiliation are already the extreme that can be endured, and it has not yet reached the seven times the spiritual strength in the prophecy.

what does this mean?
Will the empire suffer another more terrifying devastation?

Tuoba Tianxia clenched his five fingers into fists, smashed the cross in front of the window, and then strode out of the palace.

She's going to put all her eggs in one basket!
