Volume 1 Unforgettable Chapter 21 The Banquet
watched the white dress leave.
Gu Yi looked at the hustle and bustle of the streets around him, rubbed his somewhat stiff face and said, "Do you think what she said is true?"
Chu Qiong still had a piece of milk cake in her hand, opened her mouth and put it between her teeth, and found that she had forgotten one thing all along.
Because her father is the lord of the city at the foot of the mountain and the descendant of the head of Kunlun, he can often accompany her when he goes up the mountain to meet the ancestors with some food or gadgets.
But like this milk cake, although it is also bought in this Liuyunju, after taking these pastries to Kunlun, it will dissipate a little bit of taste in the food box.
So this milk cake was even more delicious than the first time she remembered it.
Maybe it's because the people who eat with her are different? She glanced at him quietly and then responded: "There are true and false, true and false, and only by knowing the red dust in the turbid world can you live up to your life." β
Gu Yi remembered this sentence, because this sentence was engraved on the cliff, which was the cliff where the Wenjian tea tree was planted.
This is the sentence that his master carved on the cliff on the day he returned from the mountain.
But Gu Yi still can't understand, touch, or figure it out, so it's better to ignore it.
"Then go back?" Gu Yi proposed.
"It's time for Qiaoqiao to come back. Chu Qiong nodded.
The two of them walked out of Liuyunju, there was someone outside Liuyunju, it was a middle-aged man, just standing casually under a locust tree outside the gate, but it had already made Gu Yi and the two of them slightly cold.
"I've seen Mr. Gu and Miss Win. β
The man stepped forward to salute, and then said, "My King Wei has invited the two of you to have a banquet in Yingfu tonight. β
Ying Chuqiong frowned, and Gu Yi tilted his head.
frowned, because Chu Qiong didn't like to be invited to his own home, and he became a guest.
Tilting his head, it was because Gu Yi couldn't understand why the man in front of him looked like a sharp sword, but what he exuded was a rare smell of iron and blood for a sword-wielding person.
"You've been on the battlefield. β
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"You don't use a sword. Gu Yi suddenly figured out something, and then said affirmatively: "You are abandoning the sword and using a knife." β
The man nodded again unconcernedly.
"My master said that when a swordsman gives up the sword in his hand, he can no longer be called a swordsman, and after giving up the sword in his hand, he still uses the sword intent, and he can never become a real strong man. β
The man's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end his face turned pale and he didn't say a word.
Gu Yi looked at him unhappily, took a step forward and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
There was already a cold sweat behind the man, not because the young man in front of him had any killing intent towards him, let alone because the young man in front of him had the cultivation strength that threatened him.
It's just because the sentence just now was said by the head of Kunlun, recognized by all the swordsmen in the world.
"King Wei is waiting. After the man finished saying these four words, he turned around as if he was a little distracted, his waist was still straight, but in Gu Yi's eyes, this back no longer had a sharp sword intent.
"You hate him very much?" Chu Qiong was a little puzzled, because she knew that Gu Yi would not casually reveal her dislike.
"It's not that I hate him as a person. Gu Yi shook his head, paused, his face was a little red, his eyes looked elsewhere, and he tried to say in an uncaring tone: "It's just that if you don't like it, I don't want him to be happy." β
At the end of the words, the voice became smaller and smaller, but Chu Qiong's eyes were slightly stunned, but they rose a little brighter, and he didn't break through the young man's thoughts, but continued: "But it was King Wei who invited us, not him." β
"It would be nice to make that King Wei unhappy that night. β
What Gu Yi said was a matter of course.
But he seems to have forgotten one thing, this world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and the master of the Tang Dynasty is the son of the King of Wei, so how many people in this whole world can make the King of Wei unhappy?
"Then shall we go back?" Ying Chuqiong looked at the sun in the sky that had left the center.
"He's talking about the night, and besides, if he forgets about it and doesn't send someone to urge it, then we should forget about it at all. Gu Yi felt that his decision was very smart, and he couldn't help but hold his head high a little proudly, like a proud swan.
"You can say that. Chu Qiong rolled her eyes, "You don't want to lose face, my grandfather still has to save face!"
"Master, his old man doesn't care about face, I saw a passage in the study last night, it says, old and not dead is a thief, I think the master and his old man is the biggest and oldest old thief today!"
The reason why the old thief is called the old thief is that the old word, the seniority and the age.
When an ordinary person has experienced too many things, from youth to middle age and finally grows old, this period of time is not just experienced, but precipitated into experience and heritage.
What's more, it's the kind of immortal figure who has lived for hundreds of years?
However, today's Gu Qiaoqiao did not make Gu Yi have any dissatisfaction with her as a student, and she didn't even frown, which couldn't help but make her feel a deep sense of frustration.
"Hey!" Gu Qiaoqiao still had two pigtails on her head, which looked extremely cute, but her tone and attitude towards Gu Yi were very bad.
"Are you a teenager after all, why are you more difficult than my old men and masters?" Gu Qiaoqiao pouted angrily.
Gu Yi, who was sitting in the chair, took his eyes off the book in his hand, looked at his sister sitting behind the table opposite, thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe it's because most people at my age are too naΓ―ve, so I seem to be more mature." β
"Yo! You are not three or four years older than me and say that you are mature? You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!" Gu Qiaoqiao didn't understand, she just followed the crowd outside the city to see the mission arrive, when she went a few years ago, she didn't even punish her from the previous gentlemen, why did this little ghost in front of her, who was not a few years older than herself, punish her?
"The tongue can't flash, because there are no bones in the tongue, and I don't even know how to marry someone in the future with this kind of common sense?"
"I don't marry. β
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, who didn't seem to be joking, and didn't know why he suddenly felt a little funny.
"What's so funny!" Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the smile on Gu Yi's face that couldn't be concealed, thinking that he was mocking himself, and couldn't help but get angry for a moment.
"I didn't mean to mock you. Gu Yi shook his head, closed the book, and continued with some seriousness: " In ancient times, there was already a Taiping princess leading the army to kill the commander of the demon clan, and when the country was founded, the current queen mother also managed the world after His Majesty went on the expedition to make the rear stable, and the cultivators did not say it for a long time, just said that the Hanhai Guanguan 2,400 years ago fought all over the South China Sea as a woman, known as the first person in the South China Sea, more than 120 years ago, the current prince Taifu Wucong is out of the army of the twelve states of the demon clan, and even broke the land of the three states, such a woman has never been married, so I don't think you must also marry. β
After Gu Qiaoqiao heard this, the anger that had risen in his heart suddenly turned into curiosity, and the young man in front of him spoke in a serious tone and calm demeanor, without the slightest mockery or disdain, as if he was really explaining it to her.
And what she wanted to say was only that Wu Cong Taifu, but she didn't expect that the young man in front of her would give her four examples in a row, and she didn't know anything about the other three women except for that Wu Cong Taifu.
"Then you still say that I can't get married!" Although Gu Qiaoqiao said that he no longer had any anger, he was still reluctantly trying to save face for himself.
"Then I'm wrong. Gu Yi smiled with no skin and no face, but as if he thought of something, he said with some emotion: "Whether men and women are strong or weak, firm or weak in their hearts, there is naturally nothing wrong with living a lifetime alone, but when you really don't meet the partner you want to spend your life with, you will inevitably have regrets in life." β
"What regrets?" Gu Qiaoqiao didn't understand well.
"I don't know. Gu Yi pretended to be profound, and then couldn't help but laugh first.
"This is also what my master said, I just thought that the atmosphere just now was very suitable for saying this, so I pretended that I said it. β
"Sure enough, it's not a few years older than me, it's so naΓ―ve! Hmph! I'm out playing!" Gu Qiaoqiao didn't look at Gu Yi after speaking, and ran out of the house.
Gu Yi scratched his head and stood up a little helplessly, walked to Gu Qiaoqiao's table and looked at the three calligraphy sheets she practiced, looking at them, although they were crooked and not very good-looking, but they were still finished in the end, wasn't it?
After cleaning up the ink and brushes scattered randomly on the table, when Gu Yi left the house, it was already the sun that was tilted to the west.
The faint dusk sunset reflected the red clouds, and the plane trees that were thriving in the small courtyard of this Gu Mansion had begun to sprout, but they were still a little bare, making the graceful woman under the tree look a little lonely.
"Uncle Chen. Gu Yi stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"I heard that you are going to King Wei's banquet tonight?" Chen Rong leaned against the trunk of the tree, her eyes clear.
"Yes. Gu Yi nodded.
"Although Li Tai, the king of Wei, is also the sister-in-law of the eldest grandson queen, but in the final analysis, he is only the younger brother of the prince, and now the prince is more and more virtuous, and there are many ministers inside and outside the court who have begun to climb the dragon and the phoenix, you have to understand that your words and deeds represent the whole Kunlun, and you must not make any ridiculous decisions with your petty temperament, understand?"
Gu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Where do I have any petty temperament." β
Chen Rong glanced at him and said angrily: "It's not petty, it's just a crybaby." β
"Didn't I just cry once......" Gu Yi didn't have much temper to argue: It's okay that I didn't cry in the end.
Outside the house, a group of people has arrived in front of the Gu Mansion, and a small flag is inserted on the luxurious sedan chair in the team, with the word "King Wei" on it.
