That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 532 The Unforgettable City

Passing through Changling County again, Gu Qingci still couldn't calm down. He dismounted slowly, looked at the still dilapidated observatory, and walked over step by step. This is the lifeblood of Changling County - Qiling post!

  The dilapidated city walls have not been repaired much due to the battle damage, and almost all of them remain the same as when he left. He seemed to see that at that time, one by one of his comrades fell in a pool of blood, and the horses roared.

The city gate has been renovated, and the collapsed city wall has been erected again, but when he approached the city gate, he suddenly heard the heart-piercing sound of war, and saw the scholar in Tsing Yi , smiling.

   Ma Shilian fell here!

   That Shuxian Cheng died on this city wall!

He was directly pierced by a long spear thrown by a qi-level warrior, and stuck on the city wall. At that moment, countless soldiers rushed over desperately, but they were all harvested one after another like straw. .

  At that moment, the snowstorm was violent, and a mouthful of blood flowed out of Ma Shilian's mouth. He looked at the Changling County soldiers who came to rescue him one after another, grinned, his teeth were sticky with blood, and shouted loudly: "Continue to charge!"

  That scene echoed in my mind and appeared before my eyes.

  Gu Qingci straightened his clothes, performed the ceremony slowly, bowed deeply, and bowed to the end.

After the battle of defending the city that year, Qiling Station has always sent troops to guard it. Although there were not many, they were straightforward. When they saw Gu Qingci, someone wanted to question him, but was stopped by the veterans beside him. .

  The moment Gu Qingci straightened up, more than a dozen veterans came out neatly, each of them was very excited, with red eyes.

  Gu Qingci looked at the dozen soldiers in front of him.

  The dozen or so soldiers also looked at Gu Qingci quietly.

  Looking at each other for a short time, it seems as if they have experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, as if a heavy snow falls, as if blood is sprinkled on the world.

   "Meet Master Gu!"

  More than a dozen people knelt on one knee, and more than a dozen voices spoke in unison.

  Gu Qingci's red eyes finally couldn't hold back at this moment, two lines of tears rolled out, and he also knelt down on one knee, a little choked up: "Get up, get up, everyone get up!"

   He couldn’t name all these dozen people, but they all looked familiar. There were really not many people who survived the battle of defending the city. The faces were all so kind and familiar.

  …

  After autumn, Changling County is already very cold. In the crenel under the gazebo, a brazier has been lit. Gu Qingci huddled inside with a dozen veterans, chatting with them and listening to them.

Gu Qingci did not allow them to inform other people. He did not want to cause too much commotion. Now if his identity appeared in Changling County again, it would be enough to make Changling County boil. Not only his identity, but also his Yu Changling The position in the hearts of the people of Ling County.

  When he left Changling County, thousands of people were sent all the way out of the city in the wind and snow, so he almost couldn't make up his mind to leave. He didn't know how sad he would be if he came again.

  Xing Tianwei's people temporarily replaced these county soldiers on guard.

  On the city wall, Gu Yihuan and Mr. Wu Que looked down at the vast withered grass outside the city, listening to the occasional laughter coming from the crenel, they were deeply touched for a while.

"This city, looking at the world, is inconspicuous, but it has an irreplaceable position in the heart of Qing Ci. Even Chang'an, which has always been the most powerful city in the world, is just a passing cloud in his eyes. However, this city Gucheng, I'm afraid he will never forget it in his life!"

  Mr. Wu Que is lamenting, at his age, he has encountered many things in life, and he has a deep understanding.

  Gu Yihuan nodded, and said: "Every plant and tree here, and every knife mark on the city wall, I am afraid that he will never forget it. This city is unforgettable for him, but it also makes him sad."

  Gu Yihuan suddenly let out a long sigh, and said, "Sir, tell me, am I incompetent as a father, I have left him aside since I was a child, and almost let him be buried in such a penniless place."

  Mr. Wu Que patted Gu Yihuan on the shoulder lightly, and said, "It was the court who treated you father and son badly, and put Qing Ci in those dangerous situations."

"No wonder the imperial court," Gu Yihuan said: "In order to protect their mother and child, I destroyed all traces of myself, not to mention the imperial court, even my younger sister, until now, I'm afraid they still don't know the relationship between Qing Ci and me." relation."

"Empress Gu..." Mr. Wuque said softly: "I'm afraid she really doesn't know yet. Ever since you went to the underworld, she always thought you were dead, and then she stopped paying attention to the affairs of the world. , Even if it is a war between good and evil, it cannot be passed on, unless she deliberately pays attention to it, otherwise, she really won't know about you."

  …

   It was not until the evening that Gu Qingci got on the carriage drunk and left Qiling Station.

   On the city wall, torches were lit, and a group of people stood still with guns, watching them off.

   "Congratulations to Mr. Gu!"

  There was a majestic sound on the city wall, and a dozen spears made a simple and heavy sound.

  Gu Qing turned his head and walked away, until he could no longer see him, then turned back, the cool wind blew, and the drunkenness faded away.

   "Changling County, goodbye!"

  The carriage rushed on the road quickly, and the sound of horseshoes became more and more mottled and farther away.

  Gu Qingci did not choose to enter Changling County. Instead, he chose to take a detour after Qiling Station. He rushed and stopped in the mountains at night.

  Beside the tent, a bonfire was burning.

   Gu Qingci, Mr. Wu Que and Gu Yihuan were sitting together. Gu Qingci held a branch in his hand and fiddled with the firewood from time to time. This was a habit he had all along.

   "Since you can't forget this city, why don't you stay longer?" Gu Yihuan said.

The flames were burning, and the flames shone on Gu Qingci's face. He smiled and said, "Father, do you know? It's been so long, and the people in Changling County are still setting up longevity tablets for me, even in the city. After building a temple, every festival, I will go to pray for me."

   "These people are really cute, and this city is also beautiful. I'm afraid I won't want to leave if I stay here, and I'm also afraid they won't let me leave."

  Gu Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "People's hearts are the most complicated, but they are also the most simple."

   "I will never forget this city, nor the people here."

  Mr. Wu Que and Gu Yihuan were both silent. In this night, it was a bit more pure. The stars were twinkling in the sky, and the moonlight was shining down, just like the snow-covered plains after the heavy snow in the sky, the vast rivers and mountains were white to the eyes.

   Gu Qingci stood up and looked into the distance.

   At that glance, Yun Juan and Yun Shu were all seen!
