The western part of the southern capital, the ancient mansion. Everything was normal, and after his father died in battle, his uncle Gutong succeeded to the title. However, the family's power in the court is not as good as before, although the Long family continues to be friendly with the Gu family, no one remembers Gu Chen anymore.

Gu Chen walked in the desolate courtyard, which was infinite loss and sadness. In the past, this ancient mansion was broken by monks from all over the world, but since that war, there have gradually been fewer people, and even no one cares, and now, it is overgrown with weeds.

Gu Chen poured another sip of strong wine into his stomach, he didn't want to face all this, he didn't believe it was the truth.

He coughed again, more violently and longer than before, and he almost curled up in a ball! Ah Fu stepped forward to support Gu Chen, for fear that he would fall to the ground, He has not persuaded Gu Chen not to drink, because Ah Fu knows that if he doesn't drink, he will only be more uncomfortable.

How terrible that battle was, only Gu Chen and Ah Fu knew, Gu Pingxi, the general of Zhengxi, rescued Gu Chen with his life, and Ah Fu came back with a serious injury. In this battle, Gu Pingxi made a military order, but it was also the first time that Gu Pingxi and Gu Chen lost the battle, and the whole army was wiped out!

Kneeling in front of his father's spiritual seat, Gu Chen only had pain, this person who saved himself with his life, let himself be full of shame and self-blame.

"Father, you have been for the country all your life, is this ending you want to see?"

The general's death on the battlefield may be the best destination, but the surviving Gu Chen was removed from his position, and the indifference of the court and the rejection of the bureaucracy made Gu Chen lose confidence in this emperor!

Since then, Gu Chen's injuries have not been able to get better, and his martial arts have gradually passed, Long Yuxin resolutely decided to go to the distant Zhongzhou to get elixir for him and heal his injuries after accompanying him for half a year!

The road to Zhongzhou, hundreds of millions of miles, even if it takes a few years to fly the mount, she and Gu Chen made a five-year agreement, no matter what, five years later, she also returned, to go to this agreement, to prove their feelings. However, just half a year after Long Yuxin left, the Long family was not on good terms with Gu Chen, and later, even at the gate of the Long family, he couldn't set foot half a step! Perhaps, this is the combination of power, without strength, you will lose everything.

"Yuxin, I'm just a dead waste, I should set you free......" However, he has too much unwillingness, unwilling that their feelings will change because of his own changes.

In the five-year covenant, no matter how it ends, he has to go to the appointment!

In the evening, outside the house, there was the sound of feet squeaking on weeds, and Gu Chen and Ah Fu were not in the mood to pay attention to it. Then I heard a person's voice:

"But has Gu Chen returned? The head of the family said that he wanted to see you, please go quickly. This place is chaotic, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, but the words have been brought, and I will take my leave!"

"Hmph, the head of the house, Gu Tong has such a big pomp! I want to see how majestic he is. Gu Chen sneered.

"Big brother, don't be angry with this villain who betrayed his brother, raise your body tomorrow, tomorrow is a five-year appointment!"

Yes, tomorrow is the five-year covenant, but what about tomorrow and later? Gu Chen fell silent again. Those unimaginable futures, he can't think about them, he can only use spirits to paralyze, without alcohol, he is afraid that he will die faster!

"You're finally back...... Ah Fu helped Gu Chen to the hall, but saw a person with his hands behind his back, facing the window. He was gray-haired, about sixty years old, and yet he stood unusually tall!

"yes! I'm not dead, I'm not going to let you down. Gu Chen replied coldly.

"You've been blaming me, blaming me for why I didn't send troops to save your father back then!"

"What you have done, you are not worthy of being the head of this house at all!"

"Gu Chen, for the sake of the continuation of the Gu family, I don't want to explain too much! If one day, if you can defeat me, I will pass on the position of the head of the family to you, and at that time, if I am really guilty, it will be up to you to decide. ”

"If it was me six years ago, would you let me live with peace of mind? Do you still dare to say such a thing?" Gu Chen was cold and sarcastic, now he was just a dead man, who else could he fight again?

"Your injury, you are really useless......" Gu Tong looked at Gu Chen's body carefully, and he was also surprised.

"Gu Chen, you must know that the emperor's order cannot be violated! For the sake of the family, there are some things that cannot be blamed on me. Someone from the Long family will come to visit the Gu family tomorrow, three years ago, I have been in charge with Long Chongtian, and the marriage contract between you and Long Yuxin will be dissolved, you and Long Yuxin have nothing to do with it, I hope you don't speak disrespectfully tomorrow, hurt the harmony of the two families, the Gu family is not as good as before, and now the situation in the court has been dominated by the Long family, and the emperor will let it have three points, and Long Chongtian in the officialdom can be said to have the title of a dragon and a half dynasty!"

"Hehe, when will it be your turn to take care of my affairs again?" Gu Chen sneered, but it was more painful!

Drinking pot after pot of wine, he also coughed, he didn't drink quickly, but he drank until dawn.

"Big brother, it's dawn, you better take a rest, you can't lose your spirit in front of the Long family. ”

"yes! It's time to rest. Over the years, he's used to getting through every dark night.

At noon, Ah Fu woke up Gu Chen, he had a splitting headache, and endured the discomfort of his body, he knew that the five-year wait was coming, but he didn't know the end. He walked slowly to the hall, full of thoughts in his heart, he had finally arrived after five years of suffering......

He didn't know whether it was pleasure or pain, relief or escape, he walked step by step, and suddenly, he was a little overwhelmed.

Walking through the garden, I could already see the silver pillars outside the living room, and I could faintly hear the sound of conversation.

"The two families of Longgu have been friends for ten years, and their love is as deep as the sea, thanks to the credit of the dragon girl in the past, I don't know ...... the prime minister of Long?"

"Gu patriarch, my father is busy with political affairs and it is inconvenient to come, so this time the little daughter and my uncle came to visit. ”

The woman's voice suddenly reached Gu Chen's ears, as if to evoke his infinite memories, and he walked forward excitedly, but after only a few steps, he stopped again.

The person who has been haunted by countless dreams, she is inside! How familiar is the voice of the countless drunken and confused auditory hallucinations! However, he flinched, he did not dare to take another step forward, he did not know, after the next moment, what could he do, what else could he do?

The door slowly opened, and a young man walked out, and Gu Chen could see who it was at a glance.

"Gu Ju, you've had a good life all these years!" The cold words were full of resentment.

Gu Juan was stunned when he saw Gu Chen, and there was a slight shame in his eyes, but he was dispelled by Gu Chen's cold words.

"Gu Chen, it turns out that you have arrived a long time ago, the head of the family asked me to invite you into the hall, Miss Long wants to see you!" He glanced at Ah Fu, who was holding Gu Chen, and said contemptuously:

"This hall is only for distinguished guests, and no idle servants except for the Gu family are allowed to enter. ”

"Gu Ju, your father was just a bookkeeper at the beginning, you didn't have the slightest status in the Gu family, the eldest brother regarded you as a brother, but you deceived us into being ambushed by the enemy, and it was you despicable villain who caused him to end up like this!"

"Dog minion, in my ancient family, you still want to bite the master, but you can't! After speaking, the two competed against each other, and they wanted to do it.

"Gu Ju, don't disturb the guests. Is Gu Chen here? Let him come in quickly. The words of the head of the family, Gu Tong, stopped the dispute between the two.

Gu Chen walked slowly into the hall, she saw Long Yuxin at a glance! fair skin, tall figure, even if the light veil covers her face, it is difficult to stop that peerless face, this is the first beauty of the Great Zhou that makes countless men excited, she is both civil and military, intelligent, almost a perfect woman!

"Yuxin ......" It seems that everything is back again, Gu Chen took a step forward, this long-cherished woman, he wanted to hug her in his arms like parting.

But does this man still belong to him, to this crippled, nearly dead man?

"You're here!" The calm words were still so familiar, but they seemed so unfamiliar!

"Hmm. ”

"Five years, I'm Long Yuxin as promised!"

"And then. Gu Chen smiled, he smiled so bitterly.

"Gu Chen, there are many things, you should forget!"

Five years, it turned out to be just an appointment!

"Now that I am a stranger, you don't have to understand my pain. ”

"Gu Chen, this time I went to Zhongzhou, I have found an elixir for you to treat your internal injuries. She opened a jade box, handed it to the maid on the side, and motioned to send it forward, and said:

"This is the marrow washing pill, cutting the hair and washing the marrow, repairing the inner abdomen, with your qualifications, recasting the Dao heart, starting from scratch, and winning the Great Zhou in time, but it is not impossible!"

As soon as the three words of the Bone Cleansing Pill came out, it really shocked others! This pill is so important that I am afraid that the Great Zhou Empire may not have a single one! Could it be that Miss Cheng Long is still interested in this ancient dust? This is also the doubt of many people.

"Now that you've gone to your appointment, we're going to disperse. After Gu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Gu Chen, I'm not suitable for you, I think you can find someone who loves you more! ”

"You don't owe me anything. And I don't need your mercy!"
