That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 163 Chang'an City is also stormy (6,000-character chapter)

Spring in Jinling City is very beautiful. One spring after another, all the green leaves and peach blossoms in the city were born. Whether you are standing in the house or walking on the street, you can feel the vitality in the drizzle .

  In the inn, Gu Qingci greeted Ouyang Muhua and said: "Senior Ouyang, you have a request, as long as this junior can help you, you will never refuse!"

Gu Qingci said it sincerely, although he still doesn't know what's going on with Ouyang Muhua and has always been wary of Ouyang Muhua, but now he is relieved when he hears Ouyang Muhua's words. There may be unreasonable hatred in this world, but there will never be unreasonable love. It is normal for Ouyang Muhua to help and ask for something.

Ouyang Muhua casually put his feet on the table, put his hands around his head, and said: "Don't call me seniors, among you guys, age is just like farting, if you look down on me , call me Tie Dan, I also feel comfortable."

   "Uh..." Gu Qingci was stunned for a moment, and said, "This, isn't it good!"

Ouyang Muhua frowned, and said: "I said you, when you were fighting last night, it seemed that you were not a pedantic person, why did you become those pedantic scholars after the fight? No matter what, no matter what, those people, who know how to read every day, have become stupid."

   "I was originally a scholar." Gu Qingci said with a dry cough.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're still a scholar, **** it, that scholar singled out twelve great practitioners alone." Ouyang Muhua stretched his waist and said, "You call me iron egg, doesn't it feel more intimate?" , I can find you to do something, right?"

  Gu Qingci smiled helplessly, and could only cup his hands and said, "Then I don't know what orders Brother Tie Dan has?"

   "Is there any order," Ouyang Muhua said: "You just need to remember that if you go to guard Beimo in the future, you can take me with you."

   "Guarding Beimo?" Gu Qingci asked in confusion: "Brother Tie Dan thinks that I will succeed in going to the capital this time? Are you so sure?"

"Hehe," Ouyang Muhua let out a meaningful laugh, and said, "If the meritorious ministers don't get the credit they deserve, I don't understand how Xia Guo has been so prosperous in the past ten years, including Including you, whether it is the Ma family or other caring people, they have underestimated our Majesty too much."

  In Gu Qingci's mind, the gentle middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair of the Golden Luan Palace suddenly appeared in Gu Qingci's mind. He was full of doubts, and he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Tie Dan, what do you mean by this?"

Ouyang Muhua stood up slowly, walked slowly outside the inn, waved his hands, and said: "You will know later, um, I won't accompany you for that, see you in the capital, and I will take you to Zijin Building when the time comes , I treat you, haha!"

  ...

In the capital city, in an unknown attic, a middle-aged man in black plain clothes was standing. Through the window, bunches of begonias were vying for spring outside. I met an old man, who looked like a **** in his attire.

   "Xiao Yi." The middle-aged man suddenly called out, his voice was deep and deep, but it was as majestic and heavy as the tide of the sea.

  The old **** hurriedly took a step forward, and replied: "Your Majesty, the servant is here!"

  This conversation, if other people heard it, I’m afraid they would be scared out of their wits. One of these two people is Tang Peiyan, the current emperor of Xia Kingdom, and the other is Xiao Yi, the chief **** of Xia Kingdom.

Tang Peiyan turned around slowly, leaned over the window sill with his slender fingers, walked slowly to the table, tapped lightly on the sharp edge of the table with his fingertips, then tightened his knuckles suddenly, and said: "Last night, Jinling , isn’t it peaceful?”

   "Your Majesty is wise, it's not bad at all, but Gu Qingci is really as His Majesty said, with a proud body, knowing that he was close to death, but he didn't escape, so he just sat and waited in Jinling." Xiao Yi said with a smile.

Tang Peiyan knocked on the table and said: "That boy, I paid attention to him when he was in the imperial examination. His knowledge is not very good, but the arrogance of a scholar is not bad at all. I watched what he did in Langya County. Then I knew that when he came to the capital this time, he definitely came here in a dignified way, how could he escape."

  Xiao Yi smiled and said: "It seems that His Majesty must appreciate Gu Qing's resignation from Sir Gu, it is his blessing."

   "Blessing is not counted," Tang Peiyan said: "Changling County, he has proved a certain strength. This time, the battle of Jinling made me look sideways. He used his strength to make me admire."

   "Your Majesty has always been as insightful as a torch, and this old servant admires you." Xiao Yi said.

  Tang Peiyan was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly: "How many people did Ma Dongyang send last night?"

   "Yes," Xiao Yi nodded hastily, and said, "Ma Shangshu sent twelve great practitioners, more than thirty warriors in the Qi realm, and thousands of secular warriors."

There was a smile on Tang Peiyan's face, and he said lightly: "What a Ma Dongyang, what a great handwriting, twelve great practitioners, I remember that in the battle of Changling County a while ago, thousands of people died, it's not too much. Only three or four big practitioners joined the battle, tell me, this Ma Dongyang, a civil servant, has cultivated so much combat power, what does he want to do?"

   "This old slave doesn't know."

  Xiao Yi didn't say much. Since ancient times, being with the king is like a tiger. In front of the emperor, it's best to be a fool forever, as long as you don't do stupid things.

  Tang Peiyan said indifferently: "With such a big commotion, what's happening with the governor of Jinling?"

"At the beginning, I went to the Jinling garrison and prepared to do something, but before it was too late, Master Gu's helpers arrived. Those assassins were not able to resist for too long, and the governor of Jinling had no choice but to give up. In the end, he wrote a letter to the third princess. .” Xiao Yi reported the truth.

This happened thousands of miles away, and in just one night, the emperor received the news as if he had seen it with his own eyes, even better than Gu Qingci, who participated in it personally, understood that the strength of the empire is the real truth. big horror.

"Well," Tang Peiyan narrowed his eyes for a moment, his face was very flat, no expression could be seen, and he said lightly: "Yun'er has been very assertive since she was a child, and her vision is also very accurate, but this time, she was really wrong. It's time to remind her."

  Xiao Yi chose not to hear, and did not express his opinion.

  After being silent for a while, Tang Peiyan suddenly looked up at Xiao Yi and asked, "Hey, Xiao Yi, tell me, how will I arrange for that kid Gu Qingci to come to Beijing this time, and how will I deal with Ma Dongyang?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yi said with a smile on his face, "Master Gu is a young talent, rare in the world, capable of both civil and martial arts, and now His Majesty values ​​him. I don't even know how great his potential is. Know how to arrange it? As for Mr. Ma, he is a veteran of the court, and this time he may just be confused, and the old slave doesn't know how to deal with it."

"You old bastard, you say so much, none of which makes sense." Tang Peiyan smiled and said: "In recent years, the forces in the world have developed too fast, and the court has no power to succeed in the younger generation. This Gu Qingci It’s not bad, it’s worth cultivating, and it has a solid body, which I also appreciate.”

"As for Ma Dongyang, hmph, it's fine for these people to do small things on weekdays, and I'll let them go. I didn't expect them to be more and more courageous now. This time, stealing chickens won't make you lose money. The Ma family It’s also a great loss of vitality.”

  Xiao Yi lowered his head and didn't speak, but he sighed in his heart.

In fact, this time, the emperor had known about the matter of stealing the credit for a long time ago, but he kept his face and pretended not to know, because he wanted to beat some ministers in the court. Over the past few years, with the growth of several princes, At that time, many people in the DPRK and China began to activate their minds.

And with the return of the three princesses, Tang Yun, and the return of the hero of the country, these things became more and more serious. It happened that Ma Dongyang did such a thing at this time, and the emperor took advantage of the situation, and then prepared to make use of the topic to make a good use of it. .

  The reason why the delay was so long was because Emperor Xia suddenly found out that Gu Qingci was out of existence, and also raised some thoughts, wanting to see Gu Qingci's potential. During this period of time, Gu Qingci's fame and potential exploded bigger and bigger due to a combination of blunders and blunders, which just happened to meet Emperor Xia's idea.

  In Xiao Yi's opinion, compared with Ma Dongyang, Gu Qingci is a lucky one.

   "Oh, yes," Tang Peiyan said suddenly, "Did Ouyang Tiedan go to Jinling too?"

   "Yes, Your Majesty, Ouyang Xiaohou was originally entrusted by Ma Shangshu to Jinling, but no one thought that he would help Mr. Gu. This, even the old slave didn't think about it." Xiao Yi said.

"Hehe," Emperor Xia smiled lightly, and said: "This Ouyang Tiedan is still the same as a thief. It seems that he can't hold back anymore and wants to go to the battlefield. Find a chance to fulfill him. The whole The whole world owes him the Ouyang family!"

I don't know how long the room was silent, Xiahuang suddenly stood up, looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, and said in a flat but cold tone: "Someone in the military is interfering, some people dare to be greedy for the credit of the **** battlefield, and there are also people in the Yushitai who are making small moves. , all six doors have meddled, and even my dark guards dared to bribe them, hehe, these people are really bold, it is time to let them know who owns this world, and if I give it to you, just take it. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it!”

  ...

  Princess Mansion, Tang Yun received several spies.

  The seventh prince, Tang Moyi, also sensed the Princess Mansion in a hurry, and hurriedly greeted him as soon as he entered the door: "Miss Huang, what went wrong?"

  Tang Yun took the letter, handed it to Tang Moyi, and said lightly, "Bengong, this time, I really missed it!"

  Tang Moyi quickly scanned through the dish letter, took a deep breath, and said, "Sister Huang, this Gu Qingci is really so unpredictable, is there any room for relaxation?"

Tang Yun nodded and said: "We will not participate in this matter. From the beginning to the end, we have no direct conflicts with Gu Qingci. The only thing is that I have not fulfilled the original promise. When the time comes, I will personally give it to you." If he apologizes, it will be fine."

  Tang Moyi nodded, and said: "Sister Huang, you are a majestic princess, with a heavy body, you personally apologized to Gu Qingci. He would not dare to complain anymore, but if I go to recruit him personally, he will definitely be grateful."

   As he spoke, Tang Moyi frowned again, and said, "Then, Miss Huang, do you mean that we should abandon the Ma family now? But, after all, Ma Dongyang is also a minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

Tang Yun shook her head, and said, "It's not that we're giving up, it's just that we're not joining for the time being. With the strength that Gu Qingci has shown now, the Ma family is no longer weak. Moreover, this time, the Ma family's vitality has been severely injured in the battle of Jinling. And it is said that Gu Qingci also took the opportunity to break through the innate, one ebb and flow, Gu Qingci is even stronger, when the time comes, no one can say who will win and who will win, we will try our best not to offend both sides."

Tang Moyi thought for a while, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Sister Huang is right, then do as you said. Now I am really curious about this Gu Qingci, what kind of person is he, who can be able to do it in just a few short days?" It’s grown so fast in just a few months.”

Begonia flowers floated in and landed in Tang Yun's palm, as white as snow. Tang Yun suddenly remembered Gu Qingci's encounter in Changling County, a smile appeared on his face, and said lightly: "If that's the case, you came to the capital. Gong will definitely pick you up at the gate of the city, but, you... oh!"

  ...

  Actually, the person who cares most about this battle is Ma Dongyang.

  After getting the result of this battle, he passed out directly. The Ma family invited many doctors, and after a whole night of tossing, he woke up leisurely.

  In just one night, Ma Dongyang seemed to have aged for twenty years. He was only gray at the temples, but his hair was almost gray overnight, and his whole body was haggard, like an old man who is dying.

As soon as Ma Dongyang woke up, he leaned over and vomited a mouthful of blood, scaring the Ma family into a panic. However, Ma Dongyang waved his hands, straightened up, leaned against the head of the bed, and said weakly, "Bai'er, you're back." ?”

   Madam Ma sat by the bed, her eyes were red, she wiped her tears, and said, "Bai'er came back last night, and is she outside the door now?"

Ma Dongyang smiled weakly, and said: "He, is he still unwilling to see me? Oh, Yibo, you go and call Bai'er in, and everyone else goes out. Madam, you go out too. I have something to say, I want to go out." Tell Bai Er alone."

  Madam Ma wiped her tears and nodded, and went out with the others.

   Soon, Yibo brought Ma Zhibai in.

Ma Zhibai has been angry all the time, and has been unwilling to meet his father. Even last night, Ma Dongyang was so angry that he kept guard outside the door all night and did not enter the door. But now when he saw Ma Dongyang's old appearance, Immediately fell to his knees and cried, "Father, you..."

Ma Dongyang smiled, took Ma Zhibai's hand, and said peacefully: "Bai'er, daddy knows, you blame me, blame me for trapping you in a place of injustice, daddy also knows, you have been open and frank since childhood, daddy is also I don't want to force you like this, but ah, father has no choice."

Ma Zhibai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ma Dongyang waving his hand, and said: "I know what you want to say, you don't think it's that serious, but it's not true, our Ma family is already in decline, but, you are still young, I don't worry, I have no choice but to gamble for you."

"Father doesn't have too many demands, I just hope you don't blame dad and don't waste my painstaking efforts. This time, dad has already bet the entire Ma family, but I lost, and our Ma family has been greatly damaged , there is one last chance, and I can only look at you."

   "Father," Ma Zhibai took Ma Dongyang's hand and said, "I don't know what to do, Dad, I really don't know!"

  Ma Dongyang took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Yibo, take Bai'er out and let him think about it. I...I can't force you now!"

  Ma Zhibai followed Yibo out of the house, his expression depressed, a little out of his mind, he is very entangled now, he really doesn't know how to face Gu Qingci, not to mention, there is a high possibility of confrontation in court.

  Walking in the corridor, Yibo suddenly said: "Young master, in fact, it is not easy for the master. He has been doing nothing all his life. If he hadn't been forced beyond his control, why would he push you like this?"

  Ma Zhibai frowned, and said, "Yibo, what's going on, what's wrong with my family?"

   "Alas," Yi Bo sighed, and said: "Our Majesty is a man of great talent, with a tiger in his heart. After recuperating for so many years, he is already going to use generals in a big way."

   "Using military generals?" Ma Zhibai asked suspiciously: "But why does Your Majesty use military generals? Is there a war?"

   "That's why I say that Your Majesty is a great man. The Weishui alliance in front of us is a shame for our Majesty in his life. Now, Xia Guo has a strong army, how can he not be ashamed?" Yi Bo sighed and said.

   "But, what does this have to do with our Ma family?" Ma Zhibai asked.

Yi Bo sighed and said: "Since ancient times, civil and military discord, although the matter of General Zhenbei was suppressed back then, everyone knows that it is impossible to end it so easily. As one of the few leaders among civil servants, Master must definitely Bear the brunt of it."

"A lot of things are like this. They seem to be powerful, but in fact, the master is under a lot of pressure. The Ma family has already looked like the sun is declining, so the master has to pave your road as soon as possible while he is still there. In this battle of Changling County, it is possible not to turn against the military generals nor the civil officials, that's why the master did it."

"The master has already done his best for you. This time, Jinling failed, and our Ma family has no energy to do it again. If you gave up, young master, it would be tantamount to pushing the entire Ma family into the abyss. You, or Think about it carefully!"

  ...

  In the inn, Gu Qingci watched Ouyang Muhua leave while lying on the donkey, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Tie Dan, you are really eclectic, such a demeanor, I admire it!"

Liu Yiqing drank wine, leaned on the window sill, said with a smile: "I think his brick is a very good thing, and I will go to fix it anytime." While talking, Liu Yiqing suddenly turned around and said: "Hey, by the way, big brother, have you successfully broken through the innate?"

   "Well," Gu Qingci nodded, suddenly looked at Qin Keqing with some guilt, and said lightly: "Last night, at that critical moment, I just broke through, and that's why I was not killed."

  Nine Suns Divine Art, known as the number one passive defense!

Gu Qingci saw it last night. At the last moment, his whole body was smashed into the pit, but he was blocked by the Jiuyang Zhenqi transformed by the Jiuyang Divine Art. attack.

  Liu Yiqing suddenly slapped the table and said: "That's a pity, you didn't die, you should have made a fuss earlier, you see, Qin Keqing ruined his foundation, you owe him a lot now!"

Gu Qing looked over, just as Qin Keqing also looked over, his heart trembled slightly, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Miss Qin, I... this feeling, I will keep it in my heart, and I will never escape the blame, no, I mean... I mean ..."

  Gu Qingci is naturally very clear about what it means to Qin Keqing to forcibly break through her innateness. It is very likely that she will never be able to reach the peak again in this life. For Qin Keqing, who pursues fighting and is invincible, it is no different from death.

  Qin Keqing shook her head, still very calm, said: "This is what I wanted, I don't blame you."

   "Eh..." Gu Qingci was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Hey..." Liu Yiqing suddenly said loudly: "Brother, I remember you seem to have said that you and Qin Keqing had an agreement to fight in the same realm. It just so happens that both of you are innate, why don't you find a chance and compare yourself?" Well, I also really want to know, who is stronger between the two of you!"

Gu Qingci glared at Liu Yiqing, and suddenly there was a sentence in his heart that he wanted to say to him. He really didn't know whether to say it or not. This was what he was worried about. Qin Keqing is a serious person, so it's okay not to mention it, but if it is mentioned, this A war is inevitable.

  However, Qin Keqing's sword is really a deadly sword!

"Um!"

  Qin Keqing suddenly stood up slowly, and said lightly: "I remember, I will never forget."

   There is a sword, humming.

  Gu Qingci froze in place, looking at Qin Keqing quietly.

  However, the next moment, he was really stunned.

  Qin Keqing drew out her sword. It was a sword intent, rising from the sky. At that moment, a powerful force erupted from her body.

   "Damn!" Liu Yiqing almost choked on the wine, and cursed: "Grandma, you're serious!"

The whole inn was shaking, and the invisible sword intent was flying around, across the world, Liu Yiqing felt terror, he hurriedly grabbed the still dazed Zhongqin and hid aside, saying: "You don't want to die, these two people They all fought hard, and they didn't even let them go."

Gu Qingci's feelings are different from Liu Yiqing's. He is the person who feels Qin Keqing's sword intent most intuitively. The breath of life is endless, but it is also as vast as the power of life in nature, but it is also full of the same powerful killing intent. Let him have nowhere to escape, but he found that these killing intentions are very abnormal, as if they are avoiding him!

This is a kind of natural oppression from heaven and earth, and it also has the same terrifying coercion. It is the unique force of great practitioners. The oppression that hits the face is like the spring thunder when the storm is about to come, but Qin Keqing's eyes are dripping at this moment. There were two red teardrops that were like blood.

Seeing that my sincerity is gone, it only took half a day to change to 10,000. My apology is very sincere, but I’m serious, no one in the group reminded me yesterday, and I couldn’t see it even though I played the game , but I really forgot!

   This chapter is a 6,000-word chapter, and it should be a 400-word order plus updates. Come on, come on!
