Section 8 Affection for this life
Gu Bai saw that Hu Dingguo was actually a member of the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts, and he was also a subordinate general of Yue Fei, a wave of anger rushed to the crown, and the killing intent was suddenly born, and he threw the waist card in his hand, and then raised the true qi through his arms to the fingers, and the true qi of the two index fingers in his hands converged, and a purple ball of light was formed around him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hu Dingguo knew that his identity was exposed, and there was already no compatibility between the Tianwang Gang and the imperial court, not to mention that he was still the Yue family army who broke the Dongting Lake Water Village back then, this Gu Bai must have decided that he was a spy sent by the government, and he would kill himself. Even if he is innocent and frank, but at this time, I am afraid that the explanation is redundant and counterproductive. So I had to get my luck and prepare for the coming*.
Yang Qi was shocked in his heart, knowing that the situation was not good, he rushed between the two of them with a strong step, stretched out his arms to stop Gu Bai, the flower was already discolored, and begged: "Uncle Gu, don't!"
Seeing that Yang Qi wanted to protect Hu Dingguo, Gu Bai was anxious and annoyed, and said sharply: "Xiao Qi, go away, do you know who this kid is? Yang Ying and Leng Qiufeng on the side didn't know what to do, so they had to stand silently and watch.
"It's true that he is a member of the government, but he is not a meticulous worker. Yang Qi said urgently.
"What?" Gu Bai was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "Do you know that he is from the government?"
Yang Qi nodded silently, and Yang Ying and Leng Qiufeng on the side also showed surprised expressions.
"Alas! Gu Bai looked up to the sky and sighed, glanced at Hu Dingguo, his eyes were like electricity, "Yesterday in the council hall, I saw that this kid was wearing official boots, and I felt strange in my heart. Saying that, he turned to Yang Qi again, "I'm afraid that this girl of yours has been subjected to adulterous ways, and this kid didn't show any flaws at the banquet last night, so I plan to find out today." ”
Hu Dingguo listened to Gu Bai's words, and suddenly remembered that although he had changed into his usual casual clothes, he had not changed the official boots on his feet. The so-called way of the rivers and lakes, I have heard a lot of lectures from the master before, but after all, I have never experienced it, it seems that I still have a lot to learn when I walk the rivers and lakes.
Gu Bai looked at Yang Qi with a serious expression and said: "Xiao Qi, as the eldest lady of the Tianwang Gang, you should know the rules of the gang better than anyone else, why are you so confused to bring people from the government to the island?"
"Sister, what's wrong with you, have you forgotten your father's blood feud?" Yang Ying shook Yang Qi's right arm with both hands and asked in a sad voice.
Yang Qi had two tears on his cheeks at this moment, looked at his sister with a complicated expression in front of him, and then at Hu Dingguo, who was standing stiffly on the side, and thought to himself whether what he had done was right or wrong? For the Heavenly King Gang, he could do his best and die; in order to avenge his father-in-law, he could also go to the soup and go to the fire, and he would not give up. But Hu Dingguo is his savior, is it because he is a member of the government that he should be treated like an enemy? If he does not do that, he will not rebel against his father and betray the Heavenly King Gang?
Although Hu Dingguo didn't know the rules of the Tianwang Gang, he already knew the seriousness of the matter from Yang Qi's sad expression, and he thought that he must not cause any harm to Yang Qi because of himself. So he picked up the waist card on the ground and raised it in his right hand, and said to everyone: "Hu Dingguo will never step into the public gate from now on." As soon as the words fell, the waist card was crushed.
Gu Bai snorted coldly: "Why do you believe you?"
"The sky is the proof, the earth is the evidence, Hu Dingguo swears on this, if he breaks his promise, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" Hu Dingguo generously stated, "Please also ask the seniors not to blame Xiaoqi, the juniors will leave your gang." With that, he walked towards the docks.
"Wait!" Gu Bai stretched out his hand to stop Hu Dingguo, and said coldly: "Do you think the Heavenly King Gang is the one who comes when you want to come and leave when you want?"
"What should I do?" Hu Dingguo wanted to turn into a fight, but the other party was unforgiving.
Gu Bai's purpose today is not Hu Dingguo, in fact, there is another meaning, Hu Dingguo is just an excuse for him to use the topic, but he didn't expect this excuse to be so sufficient. He didn't plan to tell Hu Dingguo what to do, at this time, when Hu Dingguo asked this, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, but he just had a blue face and angry eyes.
"Uncle Gu, he is the niece's life-saving benefactor, if you let him go, the niece will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for everything. Yang Qi stepped forward and said.
"Xiaoqi! Why are you so ignorant? You brought the people from the government to the island, and your uncle Nian said that you were young and had little experience in the rivers and lakes, so I didn't want to pursue it, so I helped you hide it. Although he saved you, who knows what kind of medicine he has in his gourd and what kind of heart he has, maybe he just wants to gain your trust, and the people in the government can't be trusted. Cooper made a bitter look, but he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking: As long as this girl cares about this kid, she is not afraid that you will not comply.
"Gu Daxia, Hu Dingguo has always respected you as a good man, how do you know that you actually regard Hu Dingguo as such a despicable and filthy person. Hu Dingguo looked indignant, and his name for Gu Bai also changed.
"The people in the government are all bullies who are afraid of evil, bullies of the weak, can you still be alone, I think it's just a raccoon dog. Cooper was even more dismissive.
"You ......" Hu Dingguo wanted to argue, but was stopped by Yang Qi. Yang Qi turned to Gu Bai and said, "Uncle Gu, you are a hero in the world, and your martial arts are world-famous, I think that white dragon breath can only exert its value when it is worn on your body." ”
"Oh, this ......" Gu Bai was overjoyed when he heard Yang Qi say this, but his face pretended to be surprised.
Hu Dingguo wanted to speak again, but Yang Qi hurriedly gave him a look, shook his head slightly, and said to Gu Bai: "Uncle Gu, let's go, I'll go and get you." After that, he dragged Hu Dingguo back and called Yang Ying again.
At this time, it was already three poles of the sun, and the autumn sun faded a little hot, shining warmly on people. A breeze swept across the lake, causing ripples, reflecting the sunlight like countless gems flickering, and the reeds in the distance swayed with the wind, wave after wave, and it was beautiful for a moment. This is a beautiful scenery, but there are five people in front of and behind the lake, and none of them have appreciated Yaxing, just like their jagged figures, each with different hearts.
Early the next morning, as soon as the fish belly was white in the east, a light boat carrying Yang Qi and Hu Dingguo set off from Qinglongzhai and headed for Baling County. There was no one to send it off, and Yang Qi didn't even alarm her sister Yang Ying. Hu Dingguo's eyes were still covered by a black cloth, his cold expression was frosty, and Yang Qi also had a sad face, looking at Tianwang Island that was gradually moving away. The two barely spoke along the way, and the atmosphere seemed silent, just like the singing and laughter they had come. The helmsman along the way was also interested, and he shook the pulp vigorously by himself, and did not answer with the two.
The light boat is fast, it is the same water journey, and it is also the same boatman, but different moods feel that this waterway is so long, I only hope that this boat can land faster, but I am afraid that it will really land, because it represents the difference at that time. Hu Dingguo's heart is full of contradictions, and this heart, which has been sealed for twenty years, has already been gently opened by Yang Qi. Thinking about Yang Qi, who saw men's clothing for the first time at that time, how could he be so sure that she was a woman, whether it was intuition or the fate of providence, I didn't understand.
Yang Qi's heart is also up and down, and he doesn't know when he will come back, whether he will hide or betray if he leaves. Maybe Senior Zhong is right, although he grew up in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, he lacks the city government, and he probably shouldn't belong to the rivers and lakes that are deceitful. This departure is not so much "absconding in fear of crime" as it is to avoid disputes within the gang, and in the eyes of others, it may become a betrayal of the Tianwang Gang. The only concern is that she can't worry about her sister Yang Ying, she is just a fifteen-year-old girl after all.
Two hours later, the boat finally docked at the pier. Hu Dingguo uncovered the black cloth by himself, got up and went ashore alone, and was about to turn around to say goodbye to Yang Qi, but saw Yang Qi also get off the boat and step ashore. Hu Dingguo asked with a puzzled expression: "Aren't you going back?" Hu Dingguo only said that Yang Qi was here to see him off, and she would return by boat after she went ashore.
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still go back?" Hu Dingguo thought for a moment, then strode up and walked side by side with Yang Qi.
"I'm sorry! Hu Dingguo said apologetically.
Yang Qi glanced at Hu Dingguo, smiled slightly, shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, I don't care about your business, I broke the gang rules myself, and Gu Bai has been targeting me for a day or two, you are just an excuse for him." After the failure of the uprising six years ago, most of the rebel soldiers were either incorporated by the imperial court, or returned to the field, and then a cadre of brothers who did not want to surrender to the Song Dynasty gathered on the island in the middle of the lake, at this time the total number was less than 800, everyone discussed the establishment of the Tianwang Gang in the name of the righteous father 'Great Sage Heavenly King', one is the mourning for the murder of the righteous father and the memory of him, and the other can also cover up the eyes and ears of the imperial court. The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and the gang should also have a helper, because I am the eldest daughter of my father-in-law, everyone elected me as a helper, but I was still young at the time, how could I take on this big responsibility, so I gave up the position of helper to Xia Cheng, and others had no objections, but Gu Bai was not convinced, he thought that he was strong in martial arts, and he was the brother-in-law of his father-in-law, and the position of the gang leader should be sat by him. Later, Xia Cheng did not take his many suggestions, and his ideals and ambitions have been buried in his heart, and he will inevitably involve me in addition to being depressed and melancholy. ”
"In vain, I always thought that he was a man who stood up to the sky, but I didn't expect him to be such a small-bellied chicken intestine, but it's a pity that the dragon weapon fell into his hands. Hu Dingguo said indignantly.
If not, how could he give up? In fact, Yang Qi is not afraid of Gu Bai, but he is afraid that he will take risks and be detrimental to Hu Dingguo. On the day when the dragon weapon was returned, everyone's expressions were different, Gu Bai's eyes were even more radiant, and he almost wanted to swallow the dragon weapon, and then saw that Yang Qi was going to dedicate the dragon weapon to the gang leader Xia Cheng, and his eyes dimmed. Xia Cheng said that Yang Qi had worked so hard to bring back the dragon weapon, so it was better to keep it by himself, Yang Qi took back the dragon weapon, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of Gu Bai's mouth on the side. Yang Qi saw all of this and understood Gu Bai's hope for dragon weapons.
When I came to the town, it was almost noon. The two entered a noodle restaurant and ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles, a plate of shallots mixed with tofu, and a plate of sauced beef to eat, without calling for wine. Both ate in silence and did not speak. Hu Dingguo finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked softly, "Xiaoqi, then what are your plans in the future?"
Yang Qi paused and said, "The sky and the earth are big, and the four seas are home." Remembering what Zhong Wuzi said that day, he blurted out. The mood is different, and naturally there is less freedom and ease.
Hu Dingguo put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Yang Qi with soft eyes, and said with a serious expression: "Xiaoqi, let me take care of you in the future, okay?"
Yang Qi was slightly stunned, gently put the noodles he was picking up back into the bowl, and raised his head to meet Hu Dingguo's gaze. The four eyes are facing each other, and there is no need to say anything, they have read each other's minds. Yang Qi slowly stretched out her slender jade hand and put it in Hu Dingguo's palm, and at the same time handed over a leisurely daughter's heart to the man in front of her, silently bowing her head, her face full of peach blossoms. Holding Yiren's fine hand, Hu Dingguo's heart was like a deer hitting his arms, and he secretly swore that in this life and this life, he would never fail her, and at the ends of the world, he would also be worthy of her trust in this life. What does it mean to be silent at this time?
After lunch, the two went to the market to buy two good horses and rushed to Xingyuan Mansion. There is no urgency, there is no need to rush, stop and go along the way, and the right thing is to relax. The two also changed their outfits and made some disguises, in order to avoid encountering Jin Ren's meticulous work, causing some unnecessary trouble, and losing their interest.
After walking for almost half a month, seeing that tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hu Dingguo finally returned to Xingyuan Mansion with Yang Qi. Hu Dingguo thought to himself, this trip brought back such a handsome daughter-in-law to his parents, I don't know how the second elder would be surprised. Before I entered the door, I met Hu Xiang, an old housekeeper who had just gone out and was about to buy holiday supplies. Hu Xiang was surprised and delighted when he saw two tall horses carrying the second young master and a young and beautiful girl, and hurriedly called his entourage to report it, and greeted him with a smile: "Second young master, you are back." ”
"Yes, Uncle Xiang, you're going to do a festival. Hu Dingguo turned over and dismounted, and Yang Qi also followed.
"yes, yes. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the old lady is looking forward to you. After Hu Xiang finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Qi on the side.
Hu Dingguo hurriedly pulled Yang Qi and said with a smile: "Hehe, let me introduce you." This is Miss Yang Qiyang. He pointed at Hu Xiang and said, "This is Uncle Xiang, the housekeeper." ”
"Hello Uncle Xiang!" Yang Qi called sweetly.
"Hello Miss Yang, you guys go in quickly, the old man has retired first. Hu Xiang said and arched his hand.
"Alright, you go get busy. ”
The two handed over the horse to the family, and after entering the door, Hu Dingguo led Yang Qi to the side courtyard.
