Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 27 But do good deeds
"I didn't know that this tree was not only beautiful, but also used for medicine...... But! This is the situation between the military and the people. The old woman, when she later saw that the little mute was a general in iron armor, must have been very happy! "Your Highness is happy to listen.
"Did her son finally come home?"
"Are you happy...... The general didn't know either. ”
Xiao Qiao lowered his eyes.
Just after Xiao Qiao left, a few grass cowards went down the mountain, passing by the old woman's house, originally just begging for saliva to drink, and after discovering the silver hidden in the old woman's house, they saw wealth and killed people.
And what stabbed the old woman in the heart was the short knife left by Xiao Qiao.
When Xiao Qiao approached tremblingly, the old woman had already lost her breath.
Several pieces of flesh had been torn off her body, but she was still barking at the hungry wolves...... A puppy that usually only barks at milk, in order to protect the owner, faces an enemy that is thousands of times stronger than himself, and his teeth are gone.
It wasn't until it saw Xiao Qiao that it silently lay down next to the old woman, looking at Xiao Qiao with tears in its eyes, as if to say, "You are finally here".
Xiao Qiao's lips trembled, and she didn't even have time to say a word of thanks.
"Mother-in-law...... Mother-in-law, I'm a little mute...... I've got rid of the weeds, and your son can go home, so get up and take a look...... You said you had ten more years to live until your son came home...... Mother-in-law? ”
The wolves stared at Xiao Qiao vigilantly, baring their fangs.
Xiao Qiao walked over, pulled out the short knife that killed the old woman, and stared at the wolves with the same viciousness.
She swung the Nine Dragons Whip in her hand heavily, and others couldn't get close at all, so she fought with three wolves alone for two hours, and the blood flowing in the courtyard was not clear whether it was the old woman's, the woman's, or the wolf's...... Or maybe it's Xiao Qiao's.
Xiao Qiao built a small mound for the old woman under the tree. He buried the girl next to the old woman, and left a wordless tombstone for them.
Clean the house and yard when you leave.
A door was left.
In order to wait for the old woman's son to come home.
"Nannan, mother-in-law is blind, that Huangquan Road, you will send her to ...... safely as you did for me."
Xiao Qiao stroked the small mound and said softly.
It is not only for the army, but also for the defense of the family and the country, and for the protection of the people......
"Actually, there are no poor people in the world, but there is no empathy in the world. Zhumen wine and meat naturally don't understand what it means to be stuck in the swamp. ”
Xiao Qiao sighed and pulled himself out of his thoughts.
"The story you are talking about, but Xiao Qiao, the general of the Zhenguo?" His Royal Highness asked.
Xiao Qiao just smiled: "It's just a story I heard in the script, there is no need to be exquisite."
She has told this story to many people, with the soldiers in the army, the guests in the wine shop, and the Tsing Yi officer who finally sat in Nanyi, everyone sighed and felt a pity, but the story is a story after all, how can there be such an old woman who is vicious and vulgar?
Over time, she didn't bother to argue with others about the truth and falsehood, as long as she remembered it herself, it was enough.
"I'd like to believe it's true. Zhumen wine and meat really don't understand that the people are in a deep quagmire, but I don't want to be such a 'Zhumen wine and meat'" His Royal Highness shook his head.
"Just like this general, she is also 'Zhumen wine and meat', but she can win the hearts of the people, which shows that she understands the people's feelings and obeys the people's will. My Daqi, the army and the people are fortunate to have this general. "His Royal Highness is a serious book.
"Why do you think she's good? If she hadn't left the silver and the daggers, she would have gone like this, and she wouldn't have taken her life...... Or, she had never been prejudiced or suspicious of the old woman, and she was not too late to say thank you. Isn't this misfortune caused by her? ”
Xiao Qiao just looked at the tree quietly.
"How can you think so! I don't think she had any intention of harming the old woman, I think the old woman must have known...... She knew the general's mind. Who in the world can guarantee that everything they do will have an impact on everyone? Even if it's a good thing, it's not necessarily, so it's not a good deed? But do good deeds, don't ask about the future...... Under the old woman's yellow spring, she must be able to understand. ”
His Highness argued.
Xiao Qiao made a muffled voice in his heart, looked at her like that, and smiled: "You kid, you talk like an official." ”
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness sighed.
"I wish I was an official. It's a pity that I'm a daughter, I can't discuss politics or join the army, so what about being an eldest princess! ”
"You kid, you're not big, but your ambition is not small." Xiao Qiao smiled.
"Of course! My brother said that one must have an ambition...... Little madman, I think that although you don't seem to be very reliable, the story you just told me is very satisfying, you really don't want your name to be? ”
"Since it's an unintentional acquaintance, it's just fate, why does Your Highness care about my name, don't you say?"
His Royal Highness just snorted, and his little face was round.
"This tree...... Who planted it? ”
"Naturally, it's my brother. How? ”
"All of this you was taught by your brother?" Xiao Qiao looked at her sideways.
"Taifu also taught me, but ...... I think he's too pedantic, always saying I'm a woman, I can't do this, I can't do that...... He also said that I was not calm enough, and if I was to make peace for the country one day, I would make others laugh at me...... But I don't understand, is it because I am a woman, should my life be just a husband and a child? Because I am the eldest princess, my only use for Da Qi can only be to be friendly? I'm so angry. So, I liked what my brother taught me, and he never felt that I should be bound by the world! ”
Her Royal Highness always had a light in her eyes when she spoke of her brother. Xiao Qiao knows that this kind of light is dependence and trust on a person.
"You should not be bound by the world."
When Gu Beiling sent her on the expedition that year, he also told her.
Over the years, from other people's mouths, she only knows how Gu Beiling has been in camp step by step, how to stand firm in the turmoil, and those stories of open and secret battles are indispensable for blood and cruelty.
But she seemed to forget that Gu Beiling was just a person like her.
In the face of a thorny enemy, in the face of a pack of wolves about to move, in the face of a corpse that had died in the flames of this war without the smoke of gunpowder, and the eyes that looked at him with all hope...... He's just a lone soldier with only one weapon.
When she was in the ups and downs of the conspiracy in Luoning City, he was like falling into darkness, and he was trying his best to be her umbrella.
And in the walls of this palace, what he is facing is not endless darkness.
In my deception, maybe everyone is the same.
You smile at Xian Xian, Su Erniang, Rong Ying.
But Qin Xilan, Li Yunlai, and Ling Concubine, how can they be different?
That year he rescued her from the Chamber of Secrets, the only light in those dark years, and he said he would always stand behind her.
She thought she was too.
But now she has doubts about him, and she doesn't know whether this is right or wrong, whether it is like this, or whether it is secretly provoked by others...... But no matter what, her suspicion, what would he think of him?
"If you have doubts about something, what do you do?"
Xiao Qiao didn't know if he was asking himself or His Royal Highness.
"If you are suspicious of someone, ask for his eyes. That's what my brother said. ”
His Royal Highness replied.
Xiao Qiao smiled knowingly.
"Thank you, I see."
Xiao Qiao stood up, the lights flickered, it was late at night, but the palace people were still busy.
"If you really think you want to do it for the world, just do it, as a woman, it may be more difficult to prove yourself. The world has been around for a thousand years, and it has been so old, but people always have to break the stereotypes and do the first ...... Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it should be an encouragement to future generations, don't you say? ”
His Royal Highness also stood up, tilted his head and smiled, thinking that this person was also an interesting person, so he took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Xiao Qiao.
"You want to get out, right? If you take this, no one will dare stop you. ”
Xiao Qiao took it, and it was a piece of fine Tianyu with the word "Gu" engraved on it.
"With such a valuable thing, aren't you afraid that I will do anything bad with it?" Xiao Qiao asked.
"I believe in you." His Royal Highness didn't think so, Xiao Qiao looked at her, but it seemed that she had done a lot of favors on weekdays.
Xiao Qiao walked a few steps, but still heard His Royal Highness shouting behind him, "What's your name!" ”
She thought about it sideways and waved her hand.
"Immortals."
When Xiao Qiao was about to arrive at the palace gate, he heard the palace people talking, as if the murderer had been caught. Xiao Qiao just smiled, the most afraid of hatred and suspicion in the world.
"Your Majesty, that ...... in Xining Palace"
Gu Beijue raised his hand, he didn't want to listen, and Father-in-law Wei shut up.
He had been standing on the tall building for a long time, and Kiichi was also standing beside him with his eyes down. Gonggong Wei dared to follow Gu Beixuan's gaze, but it was just an empty palace road, and there was nothing.
Mu Yi was still thinking about the picture when he had just fought with the woman, the feeling of the cold fingers on his lips...... In fact, he didn't breathe at the time, but after pushing the woman away, he realized that the woman had drugged her hand, seeing her like this, Mu Yi cooperated with her to complete a "Meng Han", and quietly followed her, until he saw the woman enter the Fuqiang Palace, Mu Yi retreated back to Bei Ling's side to report the matter.
Gu Beixuan didn't say anything, just kept standing here with his hands brushed.
Mu Yi was surprised, if that person was really Xiao Qiao, how could Gu Beixuan be so calm? Isn't he really afraid that Xiao Qiao will find out the secret that he has hidden? Is he really not afraid that Rong Su, who is hiding in the Fu Qiang Palace, will be made public?
"You said she just met someone else in the Fu Qiang Palace?" Gu Beixuan asked suddenly.
"It's Your Highness." Mu Yi replied.
"Le'er......" Gu Beixuan thought for a moment, "Weili, let Mama be optimistic about Le'er in the future, don't go to Fuqiang Palace, I'm afraid that Concubine Xiao will be crazy and hurt her for a while." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared on the palace road.
It's the woman just now.
Mu frowned at the thought of this woman's recklessness.
However, Gonggong Wei sensed the emotion in Gu Beixuan's eyes: "Your Majesty, this beauty needs ......"
"Not necessarily." Gu Beixuan interrupted him, but there was an unconcealable smile on his face.
"She's not a caged canary, it's good if I can see her from afar."
The Wei Gong Guild flattered and said: "The girl was extraordinary at first sight, it turned out to be the phoenix among the people." ”
Mu Yi looked at the two of them with a strange look, and when Gu Beixuan saw him like this, he lowered his head and smiled, and continued to look at the woman who was walking quickly in the palace road.
"The moon in the water is the moon in the sky, and the person in front of you is the sweetheart. Mu Yi, one day you will taste the love of the world, that is the nectar of spring, the cool breeze of summer, look at it, you will feel excited. ”
