Chapter 177: Retreat
"Mother, what is the name of the person who died for me?"
In the cultivation secret room of the Great Marshal's Mansion, Gu Lin quietly looked at Long Nishang.
"Gu Ming. Long Nishang gently spit out two words.
Looking at Gu Wumu and Gu Qi beside Long Nishang, Gu Lin knew that this might be the last time for their family to get together, "Dad, mother, brother, you are all leaving?"
Gu Wumu nodded, and said: "The order and the tiger talisman have been sent to the Marshal's Mansion today, early tomorrow morning, my mother and your brother will go to the front line in the west, the battle situation is urgent, Hengwu has been prepared this time, menacing, these days have been swept several border towns in the west in a row, if nothing else, he will soon attack the west city, although the city wall in the west is firm, the old general Shui has also let the refugees from the Jiuxia border town enter the west city, however, the disparity between the enemy and our forces, it is not easy to defend to the death. ”
Gu Lin pursed his lips and was silent, Long Nishang said with concern: "Lin'er, that Gu Ming's death has nothing to do with you, I have already done a good job of dealing with the aftermath, and the people in his family are very reasonable, and they didn't say much......
"In war, there are always sacrifices, and you don't have to think about it. ”
"I know. Gu Lin smiled slightly and said, "I didn't think much about it, I just suddenly figured out one thing, if I want to become a strong person, the first thing is to live, and to live well, then I must make myself strong, that's all." ”
Gu Lin said lightly: "I used to be too arrogant and ignorant!"
Gu Wumu looked at Gu Lin with satisfaction, and said solemnly: "Lin'er, it's good if you can understand, there are strong enemies attacking outside Jiuxia, there are traitors watching inside, the army is on an expedition, and the summer capital is empty inside, you must take care of yourself, you can't make trouble everywhere, you can't go out to make trouble again, and you can't expose your identity as Longgu, I and your mother are far away in the west, even if something happens to you, we can't protect you, you, do you know?"
"Yes, I know. Gu Lin nodded, and said slowly: "Father, don't worry, I have decided that from today onwards, I will retreat and cultivate for a year, and please release the news that I have been grounded for a year, and I will not take another half step out of the secret room during this period." ”
"You want to retreat and cultivate for a year?" Hearing this, Gu Wumu was skeptical, "This retreat and penance cultivation is much more difficult than you imagined!
"I've decided to ask my father and mother to release the news that I will be grounded for a year on the grounds that I am robbing and saving people, so that no one will suspect anything? Gu Lin pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"At the same time, there must be Grandpa Lao Si to guard the door of the stone room, in addition to preventing me from sneaking out, but also to prevent outsiders from coming to disturb, the world is in chaos, I must become strong to protect myself. ”
Long Nishang gasped, she thought that Gu Lin Fang was talking about playing, but she didn't expect that he really planned to do so!
Gu Tianbei what kind of cultivation!
With Gu Tianbei guarding, Gu Lin's cultivation in this secret room is not only difficult to fly, but also absolutely safe.
"You've really figured it out, this year's penance isn't just a joke. Long Nishang said softly.
Gu Lin smiled faintly, "I naturally know what I'm talking about, father, mother, after this assassination incident, I have completely figured out one thing, my life is still more reliable in my own hands, and a year is just the beginning, if I can't meet my requirements, I have some self-preservation power, I still plan to continue to cultivate, so, you can rest assured that you can go out on the expedition, within this year, I will not leave this secret room again, and naturally I will not go out to make trouble again, I am here waiting for the news of your victory." ”
Looking at Gu Lin, who suddenly became sensible, Long Nishang's eyes were a little moist, "Lin'er, people always have to go through some things to grow, and you have really grown up after this incident!"
"Mother, I will be eighteen in a short time, and I am no longer a child, but I am still a child in your eyes. Gu Lin smiled slightly and said: "I can't always be a waste who grows up under your wings and doesn't experience wind and rain, I need to grow up, I need to become stronger, there are some things, I also have to learn to face them myself." ”
"Yes!"
Gu Wumu looked up at the roof and snorted heavily, as if he was afraid that his youngest son would see the excitement in his heart at the moment.
Hearing Gu Lin call himself a waste, Gu Qi suddenly said loudly:
"Brother, who said you are a waste? You are better than all others, you are a peerless genius who has not been born in my summer capital for thousands of years, who will dare to call you a waste in the future? I, I tear his mouth ......"
"Qi'er, what do you want to do?" Gu Wumu said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten why Long Gu was personally assassinated by the Blood Shadow Gate Blood Ji Pavilion Elder?"
"I ...... , I'm just upset for my brother. Gu Qi opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain, "I just can't get used to hearing other people say bad things about my brother behind my back, he has done so many things for Xia Du, but no one knows about it at all!"
"What about the waste? Do others know what it has to do with it, doesn't Emperor Xia know?" Gu Wumu said solemnly:
"Qi'er, you have to remember, if you really let people know that your brother is Long Gu, won't it put him in danger again?
Gu Qi was about to say something, but Gu Lin suddenly sounded something, "Brother, ...... that Qianyu girl?"
Gu Qi looked at Gu Wumu's gloomy face, and Gu Qi said softly: "The army is about to go out, and this matter can only be talked about later...... ”
Gu Lin naturally knew that his brother was afraid of Gu Wumu, but Gu Lin was not afraid of his father, he glanced at Gu Qi, and then said to Long Nishang: "Mother, that Qianyu girl is a good girl, and she is also beautiful and sensible. ”
"Hmph...... , you are embarrassed to be a lobbyist, your Lin Xiangyu is now famous in the summer capital!" Hearing this, Gu Wumu snorted and reproached.
"Dad!" Gu Lin shrunk his neck embarrassedly, "Actually, I was forced to do this at that time, and I didn't expect the consequences." ”
Long Nishang glanced at Gu Wumu and said, "Since you have spoken for your brother, when you come back from the expedition, I will go to meet this Qianyu girl, if it is really as Lin'er said, I will fulfill you." ”
Gu Qi's face was happy, "Thank you, mother!"
"Don't be in a hurry Xie Niang, Qianyu's background is not good, I am also a test for her, your brother can't tell her the truth about this matter, this time the army is on the expedition, it's not good to say that it will take three or five years, so let her wait for three or five years, if she is really willing to wait as Lin'er said, it proves that her character is excellent, and I will naturally not object. "Long Nishang said quietly:
However, it is not easy to make a woman wait without commitment, and when the time comes, things are right and wrong, but it may not be said. ”
"No," Gu Qi said affirmatively: "I believe Qianyu, there will always be some people in this world who have their own perseverance, and she is one of them." ”
"I hope so. Long Nishang looked at Gu Lin, smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand, there were two rings in her hands, "You can keep this thing." ”
"What is this?" Gu Lin frowned slightly.
Long Nishang sighed: "These two storage rings, one was given by Miss Yue'er, and the other was given by Ye Rouxin, both of them were given to the dead Long Gu, and they were placed on the pretending Long Gu corpse, so I put them away casually, although they didn't know that you were Long Gu, but I still couldn't bear to let their hearts fall through, because you are Long Gu, I will hand it over to you." ”
"Although you don't have a heart, you also have a piece of the heart of the two good girls!" Long Nishang let out a long breath and said, "Sometimes, I really wish you were the genius Long Gu, at least then, I won't worry about your marriage." ”
"Mother is thinking too much, it's not strange for friends to give gifts to each other!" Gu Lin was a little embarrassed, "Long Mei also gave me a gift, but she treats me as a good friend." ”
"Really?" Long Nishang said angrily, "Are you friends with them?"
Gu Lin: "......"
......
casually said some parting words, Gu Wumu finally said: "Okay, we have all explained what should be explained, since you have decided to practice penance for a year, then from today on, I will let your fourth grandfather stay outside, and externally, I will announce the news that you have been punished and grounded for one year by the Marshal's Mansion, this year, you can practice with peace of mind." ”
Long Nishang added: "Lin'er, on the way of cultivation, pay attention to gradual and gradual understanding, don't force it, you must take care of yourself, if you don't know something, you can go to your fourth grandfather, within a year, your fourth grandfather will not let you leave the secret room, so that your father and I can rest assured that we can go on the expedition." ”
The parting is imminent, looking at this son who broke his heart, and suddenly became sensible, Long Nishang burst into tears, "By the way, Caiyi will also go with me this time, I will instruct Cicada and Juan'er to bring you food every day, you have to do it yourself." ”
Gu Lin was melancholy in his heart, this kind of family affection revealed by his true feelings made him give up a lot, "Father, mother, brother, I know that the person you are most worried about is me, and I am actually the same as you." ”
Gu Lin said word by word: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, the enemy is scheming, and you are also ......."
"You must take care!"
