Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 292
"How about it?"

"The quilts have been distributed, and today's ginger soup has been distributed to the soldiers, but there is not much ginger, so each person is not given much, but it is enough to keep out the cold."

Listening to Jia Mingyun's answer, Gu Lingqing nodded slightly.After traveling day and night, the group finally arrived at Wangwang City after half a month.

Wangcheng deserves to be the coldest place in Yuan Kingdom. It must be spring in the imperial city, but this place is still very cold, a bit colder than the coldest winter in the imperial city. If it is stronger, I have to add an extra layer of cotton coat.

Seeing that the sky is slowly getting down outside, Gu Lingqing has also secretly made a decision. He will go to the gate of Wangcheng alone tomorrow morning. He has some questions, and he must ask Gu Qi face to face.

"Have you really decided? Go to Wangcheng alone tomorrow?" Jia Mingyun's expression could not help showing a bit of worry.

For Gu Qi, although Jia Mingyun can't fully understand him, he still has a certain understanding. However, since the last time he kidnapped Zhao Min, Jia Mingyun can't see him clearly. For the current Gu Qi, he I can't guarantee that he still has a conscience, and he won't lay hands on Gu Lingqing who went alone.

"I've made up my mind to go, so you don't need to say any more." Gu Lingqing made a decision in her heart early on, and her departure is imminent tomorrow, so there is absolutely no reason to regret it.

Some questions, if Gu Lingqing didn't ask Gu Qi personally, he wouldn't be at ease in this battle.

"It's getting late, you should rest earlier, I will not be in the army tomorrow, you can discuss everything with Deputy General Lu." Gu Lingqing patted Jia Mingyun on the shoulder, trusting him very much.

Jia Mingyun nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble with me here, and you should be more careful tomorrow."

After Jia Mingyun went out, Gu Lingqing walked to the desk where he usually reviewed the papers, sat upright, closed his eyes slowly, fell into deep thought, and had no intention of going to sleep.

When a ray of light came from outside the tent, Gu Lingqing slowly opened his eyes. After not sleeping all night, his eyes were very clear. After thinking through many things, he immediately stood up, put on his armor, and said without hesitation. After getting out of the tent, he rode on his war horse and went straight to the gate of Wangcheng City.

The night guard on the city wall was drowsy at the moment. After hearing a sound of horseshoes, they immediately woke up. Looking at the man on horseback from far to near outside the city wall, they immediately prepared their hands. The bow and arrow on the bow, but the leader stretched out his left hand: "Don't act rashly."

When Gu Lingqing was only 100 meters away from the city gate.

"Call-"

The horse stopped firmly at this place. Gu Lingqing raised his head, looked at the soldiers on the city wall who were looking at him, and shouted: "My lord, Gu Lingqing, looking for Gu Qi, I have something to say in person, please let the general know." .”

As soon as the leader heard Gu Lingqing's name, surprise flashed in his eyes, Gu Lingqing?Isn't this man the commander of the Imperial City Envoy who sent troops to attack Wangcheng?
Apparently, all the soldiers on guard at the city wall had heard his name, and a soldier standing next to the leader immediately asked in a low voice, "Lieutenant General Li, what should we do?"

Vice-General Li's face was gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Quickly inform His Highness King Qi."

After the soldier got the order, he hurried down from behind the city wall and rode straight to the place where Gu Qi lived now.

Since learning that Gu Lingqing led the army and horses to camp outside Wangcheng yesterday, Gu Qi has not slept all night.

At this moment, he was bowing his head before the case, looking at Sun Tzu's Art of War, when he heard panicked footsteps outside the door.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, a person who called himself Gu Lingqing came to you outside the city wall and said that he had something to say to you face to face."

When Gu Qi heard this, he was taken aback by turning the book in his hand, and then threw the book aside: "Got it."

Gu Qi didn't sleep all night, and Gu Qi's spirit was not very good. After cleaning his face and changing into new clothes, he looked more energetic. He opened the door and walked out, looking at the soldiers standing outside the door with their heads bowed. , asked in a low voice: "Where is he now?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Qi, he is still outside the city wall."

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Gu Qi disappeared as soon as he raised his head. Looking outside the courtyard, there was only an afterimage.

Gu Qi rushed to the bottom of the city wall at the fastest speed, but at the moment when he was facing the city wall, he took a deep breath, brushed his cuffs that were a little messy from riding a horse just now, and then slowly climbed up the city wall .

Gu Qi couldn't explain why there was a sense of nervousness in his heart now. When he saw that the person on the horse outside the city wall was Gu Lingqing, Gu Qi calmed down instead.

Gu Lingqing raised her head all the time, and when she saw Gu Qi appearing on the city wall, she looked at him fixedly. The two people, who were as close as brothers, now looked at each other across the air, with more loneliness in their eyes.

"Gu Qi, do you know that I have come to arrest you and bring you back to the palace under the imperial decree issued by the emperor himself." In the first sentence, Gu Lingqing said it was a matter of business.

When Gu Qi heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on his face: "When did you start working for the emperor?"

As for the disdain in Gu Qi's words, Gu Lingqing didn't hear it at all: "I just ask why you took Zhao Min away?" When asking this sentence, Gu Lingqing's tone was already quite cold.

"Why? Don't you know, brother?" Gu Qi didn't answer his question directly, but asked instead.

Gu Lingqing just looked at him from such a long distance, and didn't answer his question.

Gu Qi, on the other hand, saw that he didn't answer, so he said it himself: "Obviously I met Zhao Min first, but my elder brother went there first regardless of my thoughts. Isn't this a sign of disloyalty and injustice?"

Gu Lingqing frowned, she never expected that Zhao Min would suffer such a crime just because of such a small matter, if she had known Gu Qi's thoughts earlier, she would have told him all the previous things.

"Do you still remember that when I was in that village, I married a village girl in order to deceive the people who live in the crown prince?"

Gu Qi was very puzzled, why he mentioned this matter without thinking: "Of course I remember."

"That woman is Zhao Min. I have been married to Zhao Min long ago, so how can I get ahead of myself?"

Although the distance is far away, Gu Qi seems to be able to feel the contempt in Gu Lingqing's eyes.

"Impossible! How is it possible? When Zhao Min saw you in Liangcheng, he didn't know you at all. That reaction was not fake at all." Gu Qi didn't believe his words at all.

"That's because she had an accident and lost her memory."

Gu Qi was obviously shocked by this news, and his expression was a little unbelievable, but Gu Lingqing didn't care about his current mood at all, and then changed the subject: "I came today to ask you whether to surrender, if you obediently follow me back to see the emperor If not, there is no need to fight this battle.”

"Hahaha!" Gu Qi looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard a big joke, "If I want to surrender, I don't have to flee to Wangcheng. I went to face the saint with Xiao Yichen that day. If you come alone today, I will definitely I won't do that dirty thing, see you on the battlefield."

Gu Lingqing gave Gu Qi a meaningful look at the end, turned his horse's head around, and hurried away.
