Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 440 The Source of Hatred
After everyone left the tent, Gu Lingqing walked up to Si Bai, looked at the guard in his eyes, chuckled lightly, and untied the ropes that bound him, and then Sit down at the desk, pointing to the cushion opposite: "Sit down and talk."

After Si Bai untied his back, he turned his bound wrist, and looked at Gu Lingqing suspiciously: "What kind of trick are you trying to catch? I won't fall for it."

"Does this king still need to play tricks?" Gu Lingqing didn't even raise his head, "If this king wanted your life, you would have died just now."

Seeing Gu Lingqing's calm appearance, Si Bai thought that what he said was indeed reasonable, and immediately sat down opposite him slowly: "Why didn't you kill me?"

"Kill you?" Gu Lingqing raised her head and laughed as if she had heard some joke, "What's the use of killing you? You are just a pawn to Gu Qi, nothing hurts."

"However..." Gu Lingqing changed the subject, "I've never liked to be ambiguous about things, and I've left you here until now, but I just want to know the truth. There is no one else at the moment, so don't use what you just said to fool me Tell me, why do you hate me so much?"

When Gu Lingqing decided to attack Wangcheng, he also investigated the generals he picked to accompany the army one by one. This Si Bai is usually upright, daring to love and hate, and a man of true temperament.

And when he was in Wangcheng, Gu Lingqing didn't notice anything unusual about him, so what happened during the two or three months of fighting outside to make him hate himself so much?
Ever since Gu Lingqing discovered that Si Bai was strange, he had asked himself countless times in his heart. Even now, after he was captured, Gu Lingqing still couldn't figure out what he did that made him hate him so much.

"Do you know why I volunteered to follow you to attack Wangcheng?"

Hearing what Si Bai said, Gu Lingqing remembered that at that time, this Si Bai had indeed volunteered for the job. After investigating, he found that he was good, so he decided to use him.

After listening to Si Bai's question, Gu Lingqing didn't ask why, but just looked at him fixedly, his eyes were dim.

Si Bai just stared at Gu Lingqing coldly, although the corners of his mouth turned up and he laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "My younger brother is on duty in Wangcheng."

"What?" After knowing this, Gu Lingqing finally had some reactions.

Si Bai lowered his head slowly, his face was a little pale, and he was caught in his own memories.

"My younger brother doesn't know what's going on outside. He's just a soldier. Naturally, he obeyed the general's orders. He has been stationed here for three days, and you are going to attack Wangcheng. During these three days, Wangcheng is closed and no one can enter or leave. I didn't find any opportunity to pass the news to my brother, and I wanted to persuade him to get out of town and stand with me."

"But." After Si Bai said so much on his own, he changed the subject, and he, who had been lowering his head all the time, raised his head and stared at Gu Lingqing viciously.

"On the first day on the battlefield, guess what?" The corners of Si Bai's mouth were raised, his eyes were wide open, and the eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, which looked terrifying.

"I saw my brother on the battlefield! Did you know? I saw my brother! Hahaha! I saw my brother!"

Si Bai burst out laughing suddenly, his emotions fluctuated greatly, Gu Lingqing frowned, but didn't interrupt him, waiting for his next words.

"But!" After laughing enough, Si Bai stretched out his finger and pointed at Gu Lingqing, "Before my joy arose, I saw you behead him by the sword!"

Although Si Bai was smiling, Gu Lingqing could see the pain in his eyes very clearly, thinking that his younger brother's death was a great blow to him.

When listening to him talk about this matter, from the beginning to the end, Gu Lingqing's brows were always furrowed and never relaxed, and even sympathy, pain, and annoyance rose in his eyes, all kinds of emotions were mixed together.

The annoyance in Gu Lingqing's heart was not regretting that she killed his brother, but annoyance that she didn't care enough about her subordinates, so that she didn't notice Si Bai's abnormality in those few days, so as to avoid this incident for him in advance.

On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and besides, he and his younger brother are on opposite sides, each taking his own way, Gu Lingqing doesn't think killing his younger brother is something that will cause him pain, what really pains Gu Lingqing is Si Bai's betray.

"Why didn't you tell me? You should have told me about such a big thing." After sorting out the emotions in her heart, Gu Lingqing raised her head to look at the red-eyed Si Bai, and slowly asked the question in her heart.

"Tell you?" Si Bai looked at Gu Lingqing with sarcasm in his eyes, "You are a general and I am a soldier, how can I tell you? Tell you that my younger brother is a soldier in Wangcheng, this will only speed up my own death , causing you to doubt me!"

At the end, Si Bai gritted his teeth.

But from the beginning to the end, Gu Lingqing didn't know about this matter, but she was regarded as the object of Si Bai's hatred and revenge, which made Si Bai do such an unforgivable thing as betraying the military.

It has to be said that Gu Lingqing is innocent in this matter.

Si Bai couldn't accept the death of his younger brother, and he died by his general's sword.

Maybe it was to make myself feel more comfortable, maybe it was to comfort my younger brother's spirit in heaven, or maybe it was purely to transfer all the hatred to Gu Lingqing. In order to get revenge on Gu Lingqing, I tried every means to contact the people on Gu Qi's side. Such a betrayal.

Gu Lingqing had thought about the reasons behind the thousands, but never thought that the truth was far more bizarre and distressing than her own imagination.

"You don't feel well, do you?"

After listening to all of Si Bai's accusations and why he hated him so much, Gu Lingqing didn't speak out to blame or curse, and there was no murderous intent in his eyes, just asked this question out of the blue.

After hearing Gu Lingqing suddenly ask himself such a question, Si Bai immediately froze in place.

After being discovered tonight, Si Bai didn't expect to live until dawn.

He thought that after Gu Lingqing learned the truth, he would be annoyed and angry, but he just didn't expect that such a situation had reached this point, and he was still concerned about how he felt.

Just such a sentence, the hatred in Si Bai's heart seemed to be completely defeated, and he felt that he had done so many things from Gu Zi for so long, as if it was a joke.
