Chapter 198 Latecomers, how many people are like me (1)
The night outside Chang'an City is completely different from that in Chang'an City. Inside Chang'an City, the lights are as bright as day. However, outside Chang'an City, outside the majestic city walls, it is as dark as ink. Even if the door of an inn is pushed If it is turned on, it will be turned off quickly, and the dim light flickers like a star before going out again.
With the ray of the oil lamp, the dim yellow luster seemed a little dull.
Gu Qingci was wearing a robe and sitting in the room. Mrs. Gu brought him a cup of hot tea, with tears in her eyes, she said slightly crying: "Qingci, listen to your mother, we will not be officials, and we will not ask for anything. Be famous all over the world, okay, come home with your mother, and our family can live in peace of mind, okay?"
Gu Qingci was holding hot tea. In the dark room, his face was very pale. Just one glance gave him a morbid feeling. Although the healing effect of Nine Suns Divine Art is very strong, it is limited to internal injuries. It will take some time to recover. With a smile on his pale face, he said: "Mother, I promised you at first, but now I really can't help it, but don't worry, I will be fine." !"
Mrs. Gu said softly: "Qingci, mother knows you are capable of fighting, but the Jianghu is very big, it is really big, there are so many people who are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the water in this Jianghu is too deep, don't talk about the seven mysteries of the world." , even the seven sects and eight sects can't guarantee that nothing will happen, how can you rest assured, my mother?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Qingci's eyes, and he said with some doubts: "Hey, mother, I didn't pay much attention before, but now I realize how you know so much about Jianghu?"
Gu Qingci really felt a little strange, from the calmness of his mother who was kidnapped by Ma Dongyang, and the state of getting along with Qin Keqing, Liu Yiqing and the others, and the occasional words, he felt that his mother seemed to be very serious about the world. I understand very well.
Gu Qingci suddenly smiled slightly, and teased: "Mother, you are not the kind of legendary hermit, are you?"
Mrs. Gu gave Gu Qingci a blank look, and said: "If my mother is a hermit, she can still watch you vomit blood when being beaten by others, she would have rolled up her sleeves to help you beat someone!"
Xiao Shitou, who was lying on the table and smirking, suddenly raised his head and said, "Hey, brother, do you want to beat someone? Xiao Shitou will help you beat me. I am so strong. Last time, I beat all the cows in the village chief's grandfather's house." I won, hehe!"
Gu Qingci stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Shitou's head, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Mrs. Gu say: "Qingci, when my mother was young, she also walked across the rivers and lakes with your father. This world is not so easy to navigate, back then your father was because of..."
Madam Gu's words stopped here suddenly.
Gu Qingci frowned, and said: "Mother, what happened to Dad, speaking of it, I have never asked you what did Dad do back then, and you also said that he ran away, but why have I never heard you mention it?" Pass?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head, and said: "It's not that mother didn't tell you, but I really have nothing to say. Your father had a grudge with others at the beginning, and later made an appointment to fight. Although he won, he was also seriously injured. After a while, I will go."
"Is that so?"
Gu Qingci shook his head secretly, thinking that he was really like the plots in those novels, and he was a background with a special identity, a very powerful enemy, and then waited for himself to become stronger to take revenge. rare.
"Mother," Gu Qingci took a deep breath, and said, "Since you understand, then I'll just say it, this person is in the Jianghu, he can't help himself, and many things are beyond my control."
"Today, I met the emperor. All of this was arranged by him, but I had to bear it. Starting from borrowing the sword from Changling County, and then killing people for me by Mr. Ning, I couldn't bear the heavy kindness. Abandon Ning Laoyu and ignore it. Now, the emperor will officially announce the death of Ning Lao, and the assassin will punish him to cover up this matter. At the same time, he also helped Yiqing successfully enter the Tao. These are all things I have to pay back, and I have no other choice. "
"However, don't worry, I won't be so reckless in the future!"
Speaking of this, Gu Qingci couldn't help thinking of what Emperor Xia said to him today:
"When your absolute strength cannot crush the world, then you must abide by the rules!"
...
It was cold at night, an old man held a long sword, and gently knocked on Gu Qingci's door, the door opened, and the dim light soaked in, Gu Qingci was still wearing a long robe, and said politely: "Old Ning."
Ning Qing's body seemed to be even more stooped, holding the sword in both hands, and said slowly: "Master Gu, you should hold this sword."
Gu Qingci shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Ning, I told you when I borrowed the sword from Changling County, I will definitely return your sword, how can I take it back."
Ning Qing sighed, and said: "Now I should be a dead person, and the court is also a dead person. Ning Qing has disappeared from the world since then. I hope to be able to follow Mr. Gu to be a sword-backing man in the future." Servant, I hope Lord Gu agrees."
Gu Qingci frowned, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Ning, no, we are friends who have forgotten the year, how can the affection between us be so tarnished!"
Ning Lao smiled lightly and said: "In this case, why does Mr. Gu insist on returning my sword? This sword is more suitable for you, so you can take it. Your original promise has been fulfilled. At that time, you said you couldn't meet each other and just smiled. Enmity, I don’t know, can it be done now?”
Gu Qingci was stunned for a while, then slowly took the sword and smiled, and Ning Qing also smiled.
It was like that night a few months ago, when a young man held a jade bone sword and smiled at an old man with a sword in his hand. At that time, the grievances and grievances were all in the bottom of his heart. It was the fifteenth year of Tiance's winter. unpredictable.
That night, a young man held the Mo Chou Sword and smiled slightly with an old man, resentment and kindness. At that time, in the spring of the sixteenth year of Tiance, the old man named Ning Qing decided to go to Shuzhong. He said that he would go to Gu Qingci's hometown. Pension.
Suddenly, Gu Qingci found out that Ning Qing had become a great practitioner of the Innate Second Realm before he knew it!
...
On that day, early in the morning, an old man was slowly heading towards the middle of Sichuan with a carriage. There was a woman in the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted. A dark child was lying in her arms, showing a naive smile. .
"Qing Ci, if you are tired, come back, mother will cook for you!"
In the hazy morning mist, a young man in white smiled slightly, and said slightly, "Mother!"
Watching the carriage slowly leave, the simple woman was getting farther and farther away, but she was still lying on the window, as if she wanted to take a closer look, Gu Qingci felt a little sour in her heart, and sighed a long way.
Drinking Liu Yiqing, still drinking, as long as Su Yi is not around, he will drink, standing next to Gu Qingci, handed the wine gourd to Gu Qingci, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to have a drink?"
"No." Gu Qingci shook his head and said, "You can keep it for yourself!"
Liu Yiqing shrugged his shoulders, took a sip, and said: "Brother, Xiao Shitou's martial arts talent is really strong, you really don't consider letting him go to my Langya Sword Sect, I promise, my sect will definitely take him as my next." nourish."
"No," Gu Qingci waved his hand and said, "I have my own arrangements, and I won't bury his talent, but let him grow up slowly and make his own arrangements. Now, with Mr. Ning by his side, I'm not worried about any problems, Mr. Ning also knows how to develop Xiaoshi's talent!"
