Chapter 232: Breaking the Army. The Singer (End of Volume 5)
At this time, Shi Qingyi was sitting in a living room with a bright and clean window, in front of her, Zong Xianghua, who was originally the head of the female guard of the Purple Pavilion, was looking at her with a resentful expression, while boiling the tea, and then poured the dark green juice into the tea bowl in front of Shi Qingyi.
Shang Xiufang, who was sitting on the main seat, said to Shi Qingyi with a smile: "Don't look at the head of the sect's guard who looks angry now, in fact, she still has to come to entertain her sister because she mentioned yì herself, for her sister's strength in protecting Longquan from the flames of war, although the head of the sect guard didn't say it, but in his heart, he was extremely grateful to his sister...... "With Shang Xiufang's words, I saw that Zong Xianghua's face immediately turned red, and I didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry, but she didn't turn her face and leave, but continued her work, However, when she saw her scoop out a bowl of tea soup from the tea stove and put it in front of Shi Qingyi, her eyes that had been staring at Shi Qingyi all the time, Shi Qingyi knew that this bowl of tea soup as a thank you, even if she didn't want to drink it, she had to pour it down.
"Hehehe!" Shi Qingyi drank tea while laughing, and when the laughter was heard in Zong Xianghua's ears, it had a mocking taste, "What are you laughing at!" She said fiercely, but she could no longer resist Shi Qingyi's gaze, and after holding on to the "hum", she fled with the tea sets. Seeing her like that, both Shang Xiufang and Shi Qingyi laughed out loud.
"I can't see that the leader of the guards that Bai Ziting found for himself is actually a simple little girl!" Shi Qingyi said with a smile: "But as a guard, her martial arts are indeed enough, but Xiufang's charm is indeed not ordinary, and she can actually command this guard chief to betray Bai Ziting!" ”
It turned out that the reason why Zong Xianghua was on Kou Zhong's side that night. It was still thanks to Shang Xiufang's plea that the head of the guard made the decision to cooperate with Kou Zhong and secretly let everyone go, although it was not successful later because of Bai Ziting's discovery, but. It is because of the decision she made that the impact on the military and civilians of Bai Ziting and even the entire city is irreversible, it can be said that Shi Qingyi and Kou Zhong were able to achieve their goal, and this sect guard chief contributed a lot.
Shang Xiufang smiled humbly when she heard this: "Sister Tsing Yi can laugh, the reason why the head of the sect guard is willing to help is just because her personality is simple and kind, and she saw that the king of Baizi Pavilion was confused by treacherous people. made a series of perverse actions that will plunge the entire Longquan Shangjing into a crisis, and then risked his life to rescue those who were innocently imprisoned, Xiufang, it's just a boat to push the boat, where can it be like what you said, what charm is there! ”
"But she finally made the decision that she was going to leave Longquan with you, and for this reason she has given up her position in Longquan Shangjing. Isn't it? Shi Qingyi said.
"That's because, ah, the head of the sect's guard has long been tired of the life of killing. In the past, she could still say that she forcibly asked herself to do things she didn't like for the sake of the country and the nation, but now, the dragon kings have passed away, and the head of the sect guard can finally do what she likes. I didn't have to worry about any constraints, so she came to me to travel with my convoy and keep me safe! For this piece of heart of the head of the sect's guard. is grateful, but it is Xiufang who is right. Shang Xiufang said.
Yes, Shang Xiufang was already ready to leave, and her next destination was the country close to the East China Sea, Goguryeo, Shi Qingyi was also silent when she heard this, and then she sighed and said, "Then, I wish Xiufang a smooth journey!" After you leave, we will also set off immediately, there is no feast in the world, not to mention us with different purposes, hey, it's a pity that Kou Zhong's kid ran fast, otherwise, I could accompany Sister Xiufang more! ”
Shi Qingyi's tone suddenly became ridiculous, which made Shang Xiufang's face turn red immediately, but Shi Qingyi's eyes lit up. Shang Xiufang seems to really like Kou Zhong! However, Kou Zhong is indeed no longer the hairy boy of the past, after working hard, he finally has his own reputation at this time, his own territory, and even, with the big man who sponsors him to dominate the world, although he is still outnumbered, but it can be said that Kou Zhong has finally become a big hero who is enough to make thousands of girls admire at this time! has always been because Xu Ziling will be his brother-in-law, and he has paid more attention to Xu Ziling, but now it seems that Kou Zhong, a kid, did ignore him before. Shi Qingyi said secretly in his heart.
Kou Zhong followed the Turks after the Turks withdrew their troops, there was no way, Changsun Wuji planned in his heart every day how to kill Kou Zhong and the others, but Changsun Wuji was still a person who couldn't hide his innermost thoughts, so Kou Zhong was also on guard day and night, after the Turks left, if Kou Zhong didn't want the soldiers and civilians of Longquan to sacrifice for himself and resist Xue Wanche's possible sudden attack outside the city, then it was best for him to follow the Turks' butts and leave immediately, It was precisely because Kou Zhong successfully seized this opportunity that made the eldest grandson Wuji helpless, so Ling's eldest grandson Wuji's face has become even darker recently, and even the personal soldiers from the Qin Palace, who were originally brought by him and Shi Qingyi, did not dare to approach this lord who was angry in his heart at this time.
Oh, at this time, the eldest brother wouldn't think like this: Kou Zhong, a coward, why did he run away, why couldn't he obediently stay in Longquan Shangjing so that he could be hacked to death by me! Scold! Scold! Scold! Shi Qingyi thought with a snicker in his heart.
At this time, more than ten days have passed since the covenant of that day, and in these days, the Turks first looted in the city, until there was nothing to rob, they withdrew from the city one after another, and let the residents who moved out of the city return to the city, and then, according to the content of the agreement, the soldiers and civilians who monitored the city will dismantle the city wall around the city little by little, until the tall city wall is completely demolished, and the scene in the city can be seen directly from the outside of the city, the Turks are satisfied with the huge amount of wealth they have collected. Left.
Although according to the agreement, the Turks did not deliberately destroy the city except for the demolition of the city walls and some necessary military installations, however, it is important to know. When looting property, it is common to come across items that are either extremely bulky or originally built as part of the house, and the value of these goods is usually very expensive, so it is customary for the Turks. You know, and Kou Zhong also had to eat coptis dumbly, swallowing such a loss.
As a result, when the Turks left, the originally rich and prosperous Longquan Shangjing was in shambles, and almost all the houses were destroyed by different Cheng dù, even the royal palace of Baiziting was not spared. The only exception to this is that. But it was the courtyard of this guest house that Shang Xiufang chose in advance.
After all, Shang Xiufang's fame is too great, no matter Hu Han, many people in the world at this time are her admirers, even including Su Mo's Bai Ziting and the Turkic Jieli Khan, Jieli has already ordered in advance to ask Shang Xiufang to stay in the city to avoid chaos when leaving the city, and at the same time strictly order the Turkic cavalry to absolutely strictly prohibit breaking into the place where everyone lives. And because of this. The beauty and integrity of this courtyard have been preserved.
Shang Xiufang had already picked up a guqin and put it on the case at this time: "The day before yesterday, I exchanged music with my sister, and Xiufang felt that I benefited a lot. Now that they are about to separate, Xiufang has nothing else but to express her heart with the music that her sister gave her in the past. ”
"Okay," Shi Qingyi said happily: "It is said that when Bai Ziting cut himself, Xiufang also appeared in front of the palace gate to play the last song for Bai Ziting. Ling Bai Ziting sighed to listen to this song, you can have no regrets in this life, you can see Xiufang's piano skills, a few days without seeing and seeing a big rise, please play it quickly! ”
Shang Xiufang responded. Then, she straightened her appearance, her face became stern, and her hands were also on the strings, and then she began to play attentively.
The music is poignant, but it is resounding, Shang Xiufang has been completely intoxicated by the music she played at this time, Shi Qingyi listened to the music quietly, a pair of eyes, but also stared intently at this talented woman who is the best in the world in terms of beauty and talent, when she played to the highest place, Shang Xiufang finally couldn't hold back her agitated mood at this time, and sang loudly:
……
Whether it is love or dreams, give up and face difficulties.
Until the noble flame illuminates the darkness.
Even if the distance is so far away
Also make up your mind not to shed tears, not to lose again, not to run away again.
Although to be swallowed up by a qiē feeling;
Please believe, believe, believe, believe, this belief.
Until the day when you can say a qiē is not accidental, but inevitable.
The heartbeat of courage is your own.
Let's open up the future with our own hands.
The real world, the world that has not yet been seen.
It always brings light to the heart that cannot be lost.
……
Shi Qingyi listened intently to Shang Xiufang's singing at this time, but her fingers subconsciously tapped on the sword body that was half unsheathed by Shi Yu at this time, and let out bursts of clear groans, supplementing Shang Xiufang's singing voice.
In the red dust, even though it is already full of scars, but it is precisely because of this that the short-term happiness will be even more precious, even if it is only illusory, I hope it can continue for a little longer, a little longer!
……
Many years later, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was already in a high position but had no real name, suddenly asked Shi Qingyi a question: "When you were in Longquan back then, why were you so sure that Kou Zhong would choose to negotiate peace with the Turks, instead of integrating all the tribes in the entire northern country that might become allies and fight to the death with the Turks?"
You must know that Kou Zhong's strength in the Central Plains at that time was too weak and vulnerable, and if he could integrate all the resources of the north to fight with the Turks, even if he failed, he could retreat with his own martial arts, and there would be no big loss, and if he could win a battle, he could then unify the entire northern country, and then form an alliance with Dou Jiande, who was entrenched in Hebei in the south, and attack Luo Yi together. Kou Zhong and Dou Jiande can divide Yanyun equally, and then further form an alliance to jointly fight against Guanzhong, Dou Jiande's benevolence and righteousness have won the hearts of the people, and Kou Zhong's soldiers are strong and strategic, the two join forces, even if they are capable of the people, they may not be able to win lightly!
And there is no doubt that with Kou Zhong's ability, even if he used weak troops against the Turkic elite under Shangjie Li at that time, it was not without a chance of victory! But why are you so sure that Kou Zhong wouldn't have such ambitions? ”
Faced with this problem, Shi Qingyi was stunned for a long time at that time, and then she had to admit that she had never thought about this problem at that time, because Kou Zhong was neither worshipping Ziting nor Fu Nantuo, and it was precisely because he was not the kind of hero who disregarded human life, so Shi Qingyi never thought that Kou Zhong that day would do what Changsun Wuji said at this time.
However, because during that period of time, Changsun Wuji would often come to Shi Qingyi to ask questions, Shi Qingyi knew that this was not that this brother really had any questions to ask himself, on the contrary, this was Changsun Wuji euphemistically showing his talents? Because the eldest grandson Wuji thinks that he is talented, but because he is a relative of the emperor and wants to avoid suspicion, he can only hold a false position, so he often comes to Shi Qingyi's place to visit, hoping that Shi Qingyi will come forward to speak for him and not let him hold a nominal position again.
Shi Qingyi's heart was sighing, although this brother has talent, but he does not know people, should it be said that it is true, although he has had a difficult experience in life, however, he still does not understand the common people and others, so Shi Qingyi clearly rejected his request this time, and quoted a passage of Mencius to warn the eldest grandson Wuji: "It is because of the people of the hills that he is the son of heaven, the son of heaven is the prince, and the prince is the doctor." However, brother, you don't actually know Li Shimin, you don't know Kou Zhong, and of course, you don't know my ......! However, even in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji regarded Shi Qingyi as his own biological sister, but still did not take her words to heart, and then the situation changed, he was finally able to occupy a high position, and naturally, he put Shi Qingyi's words in the back of his mind even more, until many years later, because he was betrayed by the closest people, he finally understood the true meaning of what Shi Qingyi said at that time, but at that time, Shi Qingyi had already died of illness for many years, and he himself was already in prison, And even life is coming to an end...... (To be continued......)
PS: Ps: The last paragraph is a bit suspicious, but I still can't help it, and it took me half a day to type this paragraph, just because I found that there is no better place to insert this paragraph than at the end of this volume, to express the character of the eldest grandson Wuji. And the eldest grandson Wuji is precisely the most indispensable person in the whole story, because he is the link of the relationship between the Qin Wangfu, Shi Qingyi is associated with Li Shimin because of him, Li Shimin is associated with the generals of the Qin Wangfu because of him, and Shi Qingyi is also linked to the generals of the Qin Wangfu because of the eldest grandson Wuji, and in the sixth volume, the eldest grandson Wuji will play a greater role in promoting the plot. Although it is not a positive image, the role of the eldest grandson Wuji is indispensable.
