And the conversation between the two was clearly heard by Gu Xing outside the barracks, although it relieved Gu Xing's doubts, but such an unvigilant question was listened to by an outsider himself, and it was hard to guarantee that it would not be intentional.

When the county guard Ran Qi walked out of the barracks, Gu Xingzheng was squatting on the ground bored, looking at the ten miles of yellow sand outside the horse, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a little patting, Gu Xingcai looked up, Lord County Shou smiled, and suddenly asked an inexplicable sentence, "Little brother, what do you say are you pursuing in this life?" ”

This sudden sentence made the second monk Gu Xingzhang puzzled, and he couldn't think about it, I don't know what Lord Ran's question was about?

Although he really couldn't figure it out, he still said: "The reason why people are human is for that way, but the way of heaven blesses all sentient beings." But it's an authentic way to seek immortality. It can also be humane, for oneself and for others, for the prosperity of that life. The most unfortunate thing is the ghost road, which is good for oneself and seeks the reincarnation of the third life. ”

"Little brother, what you say is the truth of the world's great avenues, but it is just the charming words written by those who read books to fool the world. I, Ran Qi, have guarded the country for decades, but in the end, I ended up like this, and the Later Tang Dynasty was already stormy and precarious. But above the temple, the people of the ninety-five are still so suspicious, until hundreds of my brothers died in vain for no reason, you say, who should I go to ask for this account? ”

Ran Qi's hair was all open, as if he had touched the sad past, and he couldn't help but be a little moved. And the back of the hand that held the hilt of the sword was covered with scars and ravines. After many years, these scars will heal one by one, but the scars on the heart, once they are cut, can never be closed again. Every time you touch it, it will tear your heart out.

Gu Xing only understood at this time why Lord Jun Shouran loved his wife so hotly. Perhaps the boy fought on the battlefield when he was young, and he was not afraid of the collapse of heaven and earth, and the wind and clouds changed color. Just ask for a thousand miles, horse leather shroud.

But year after year, day and night, constantly losing, wanting to hold but can't, you can really understand the meaning of cherishing. Lord County Guard would not ask such words for no reason, it must be the appearance of the soldiers such as Huangfuquan just now, which evokes the sad thing that has been sealed for a long time.

A veteran who never regrets the yellow sand on his knees, shedding the armor that never leaves his body, there may be no monstrous revenge in his heart, only the warm wine. He was reluctant to let go of his few remaining brothers, and since the temple had no intention of caring about their lives or deaths, it was up to him to carry them.

Since he chose to face this troubled world, the people in the house are the last concern. Therefore, when he learned that Gu Xing had unveiled the list, he personally rode his horse. Knowing that the emperor's power changed suddenly, he was able to temporarily forget the troubles and come with a whip. This is a man with a true temperament, but he was born at the wrong time, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, he will be able to keep one side safe.

Now, it may only be able to barely support the crumbling county to face the collapse that will come at an unknown time.

A long sigh, the yellow sand rose, sad people. Lord County Shou turned over and got on his horse, and Gu Xing followed. Xu was worried about his wife's body, and his brother and family tore the man whose sideburns were slightly white to the ground.

The two tightened their reins and spurred their horses to gallop. In the smoke and dust, it is clearly stained with guilt. Perhaps he was once ashamed of heaven and earth and kings, but now he is only ashamed of his brothers and family, and since that farewell, he is no longer him.

Gu Xing slowly chewed out the deep meaning at this time, why Mingyue Tower was so high-profile, it turned out that Tangjiang Lake had already been confused with the temple after this. Even if there is no Hou Zhou, Yi Chu and the like, the towering tree has decayed and almost collapses.

It was a cloudless sky, and suddenly thunder roared. The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the city was full of banners and raised in the wind. Outside the barracks, next to the rejection horse, the group of soldiers who had just woken up from their coma were already standing in their positions, raising their heads and chests, and looking ahead.

They also have parents and brothers, wives and children, but since they have chosen to join the army, they have no hesitation. I don't know how many of these soldiers survived the battle to the death that the warden didn't want to talk about, but since they are alive, they will carry out their mission to the end.

Oh, this world? This temple. Seeing the raindrops the size of beans falling from the sky, the horsewhips in the hands of the two couldn't help but wave a little faster. When the two of them arrived outside the county guard's mansion, the pouring rain poured down. It seems that they are waiting for the two to return home before they are willing to pour. And the servant has been waiting here for a long time.

Gu Xing couldn't help but sigh, "Here, the weather is myriad. Ran Qi had already regained some of his senses, and he was not as crazy as he was just now, so he said: "Little brother, do you know the origin of the name of this dragon head county?" ”

Gu Xing touched a handful of dirt splashed on his face along the way, and looked at the somewhat mottled courtyard wall of the county guard mansion with interest, "Listen up." ”

Lord Gunshou walked into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Little brother, you might as well freshen up and talk to you about the legend." ”

Gu Xing suddenly hugged his fists and thanked him, and was led by the servant who was already waiting at the door, and walked towards the side courtyard. "Although the county guard mansion has been around for some years, in this Longshou County, it is also a high gate, but the county guard of Ran prefers to preserve the truth, so it remains in its original state, and it has not been repaired, but it has a bit of ancient charm."

The servant traveled all the way from the little brother, chattering about the past of many county guards. I don't know if it's intentional, or if it's an excuse to talk for fear of boredom, along the way, I've talked about seven, seven, eight, eight.

When he came to a secret hut, the servant was eager to take Gu Xing in to take a bath. Gu Xing has lived for more than ten years, where can he have such treatment, he can't help but be a little shy, "It's still not good, I'll do it myself." Brother Lao prepared clean clothes and waited for me outside the door for a while. ”

The servant didn't shirk from the little brother, but felt that Gu Xingzhi was knowledgeable, not as rude as those soldiers, and his heart was happy, so he walked away quickly. Gu Xingyi dodged in, and a wooden basin was filled with clean water, and there was a wooden stopper under the basin, which was probably used to release water after washing.

I was going to take a bath in Buyuexuan and get a taste of flowers and wine, but I didn't expect to toss it and still haven't washed it. Without saying anything, he untied his clothes and jumped in. A sense of comfort came to my heart, and most of the soreness and softness suddenly disappeared, and I didn't feel comfortable.

When he got up, bath towels and shoes and socks were already placed on the square bench next to the wooden basin, and Gu Xing was not ambiguous, so he put them all on. The outer servant was already waiting for the little brother, and Gu Xing stretched out a hand from the crack in the door, "Trouble the little brother hand it to me, I'll wear it myself." ”

The servant was used to serving people from the little brother, and he was a little surprised before handing over the clothes. When Gu Xing came out, he returned to his clean appearance, but the messy hair before was scattered between his shoulders and neck at this time, with a different charm.

Without saying a word, the servant stepped forward and pushed Gu Xing back into the room, this action made Gu Xing a little surprised, "Could this person be as good as Longyang?" Just as he was about to say something to stop him, the servant was already holding a wooden comb and a hairband and combing Gu Xing's hair.

Gu Xing was amused by his absurd thoughts, and he couldn't help but shake a little. The servant was skillful with his little brother, and within a moment, he "packaged" Gu Xing into a beautiful young man with a good demeanor.

Of course, this was just Gu Xing's wishful thinking, and the servant led Gu Xing from the little brother to the county guard mansion meeting room. When Gu woke up and went outside the door, he saw that he was usually holding a cup of tea, talking with the county guard. The two of them are talking and laughing, and they seem to be very familiar.

Gu Xing coughed lightly, stood outside the door and said with a smile: "It's long overdue, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Lord County Shou had already seen Gu Xing, so he beckoned and motioned for Gu Xing to come in quickly. Usually just drinking tea, I didn't show too much attention to Gu Xing's arrival. On the contrary, it was Ran Junshou, who went and returned with him, who was a little excited.

After entering the hall and sitting down, Gu Xing half-jokingly said, "What were the two talking about just now?" So happy? "Usually, when I heard this, the ground was full of smiles, "My nephew didn't know, I talked to Lord Ran just now, and I learned that the two of us were both soldiers in the north of Nashu more than ten years ago. ”

Lord Ran was full of reminiscences of the past, but he was not half sad, but seemed to be full of spirits.

Before Gu Xing could speak, the county guard said: "I think back then, I couldn't wait for a tenant, and when the Zhichong Mansion recruited troops, it could be said that there were a sea of people, and everyone wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy. At that time, there were 634 offices under the Zhichong Prefecture, and the official titles of Zhongli, Tuncai, Archery, Yuecai, Infantry and Changshui were under their jurisdiction, and we ate official rations from that soldier. ”

Looking back on the past, I am usually a little moved, and I can't help but hold the teacup with a little trembling. It's not because of a different heart, but because of a feeling. Although everyone in front of him will be killed, it is not in vain to sigh when talking about the same past.

"That night, in the Tang Dynasty, after I joined the army, I was half-ploughed and half-armed, and it was a bit of a peaceful life. If it weren't for the dead fat man named An Lushan, this peaceful and prosperous era might have lasted for another hundred and eighty years, and we wouldn't have fallen into such a field. He was a little excited, coughed violently, and quickly grabbed the teacup and poured it before he eased up.

Ran Junshou got up unprecedentedly, walked to his usual side, and patted him on the shoulder a few times, as if he was relieved and complained. Rather be a peaceful dog, not a troubled world, this world is not yesterday, and the Tang Dynasty is not the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

It's just hanging on the name of Li Tang, grasping the wisp of blood that seems to be nothing, and struggling to survive in this troubled world.

Both of them were a little embarrassed and fell into a long silence. At this time, a person hurriedly ran in, breaking the embarrassing situation. When Ran Junshou saw someone coming, he asked, "Is everything done?" ”

"It's all arranged, just wait for the Imperial Captain to arrive, and then you can start." The servant said deferentially.

"Very good, it was supposed to be tomorrow, but since the two of them have arrived at the house, there is absolutely no reason to be wronged, so it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so I will have a banquet tonight to congratulate Xiannei on his physical recovery.

Gu Xing wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't expect Ran Junshou to come out like this, and swallowed all the words that came to his mouth. On the side, he usually looked as usual, hugged his fists and agreed, it seemed that he had already known about it.

Suffering from the lack of a chance to be alone, the two could only make eye contact with each other, but in front of the county keeper, it was really not good to be too public, so they went back to sit and drink tea, and the three of them began to chat again.
