Chapter Ninety-Five: Qiu Yang Sword

Qin Daochuan motioned for them to lead the team in front.

When he arrived at the Xixia military camp, the general who led the troops went through the process according to the rules, and said to Qin Daochuan: "General Qin, in Xia Baishang, Bai Yin is my fourth brother. ”

Qin Daochuan listened, saluted again, and said, "I heard that the Baiyin guards said that his eldest brother is in the Western Xia army, and it is an honor to see the general today." ”

Bai Shang replied: "General Qin, the grace of helping Bai is unforgettable. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "General Bai, don't be polite, the Baiyin guards have also helped me a lot." ”

Gesang Quzhen interjected: "The two of you are familiar at first sight, I see that it is about to be noon, so it is better to talk at the banquet." ”

Bai Shang said: "What the princess said is very true, it is Bai Shang's negligence, two please." Then he invited them into the camp to speak.

Qin Daochuan saluted in the same way, and Gesang Quzhen saw that he was completely indifferent to Tubo, and just wanted to open his mouth to complain, but found that this was not Tubo, so he held back, only remembered it, and was ready to find an opportunity to talk to Qin Daochuan again.

At the banquet, Bai Shang said: "General Qin and the princess have worked hard all the way, and they will rest here today, and tomorrow Bai Shang will send the general and the princess to set off, and this trip will go north for two days to Xuanhua Mansion, and then three days to Xiliang Mansion, and then five days to Xingqing Mansion." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "I'll wait for the light car to follow, and I can get to Xingqing Mansion in five to six days." I was not very happy to get acquainted with the general today, and I had a cup of General Michikawa Kei. ”

Bai Shang hurriedly returned a cup.

Gesang Quzhen saw it, and he also drew a gourd and toasted Bai Shang with a cup. After that, he didn't forget to salute Qin Daochuan, Qin Daochuan didn't refuse, but he didn't return the salute, and Gesang Quzhen didn't mind, bowed his head and smiled.

Bai Shang saw that the two seemed to be different from others, and when his subordinates came to ask how the camp tent was arranged, he quietly asked them to arrange the camp tent of the general and the princess in one place.

After the banquet dispersed, Qin Daochuan was just about to enter the camp tent, and found that Gesang Quzhen's camp tent was actually next to him, and everyone drank wine at noon, except for the guards, they all went back to the camp tent to rest. Gesang Quzhen washed up, changed back into women's clothes, and was about to go to Qin Daochuan, opened the door curtain, but found that there were several guards living inside, Qin Daochuan was nowhere to be seen, so he hurriedly stabilized his mind and asked calmly: "What about you generals?" I have something to consult with him. ”

One of the guards said: "The general walked away because of something, but he didn't say anything, and we didn't dare to ask." ”

When Gesang Quzhen heard this, he turned around and left, looking for it.

The guards shook their heads, but none of them spoke.

Gesang Quzhen turned around, but he didn't see Qin Daochuan, but the camp tent was not easy to enter casually, so he had to go back to his camp tent and wait.

The personal guard plucked up the courage to admonish: "Princess, I think General Qin knows about the marriage with the Seventh Prince, so he blindly avoids you, so it's better to forget it!" ”

Gesang Quzhen said: "I don't care, I want to find the person I like." My father once promised me that I would choose my own husband. ”

The personal guard continued: "Listen to their own people, General Qin has a lady from a humble background, who is the most arrogant and unreasonable. Listening to General Qin's words in the past few days, I am also very afraid of her, you enter the door, I am afraid that there will be no harmony, and when the time comes, you will stay away from your homeland, if the general does not dare to make decisions for you, how can you be good? ”

Gesang Quzhen said with a smile: "An illiterate, defenseless little lady, very scary, the whip in my hand is not a vegetarian." Besides, it is not certain who the general will be on at that time? I'm not Mrs. He, everyone is beautiful, because of face, I'm afraid of losing my physique, it's good if I don't bully her. ”

The personal guard stood aside helplessly.

It's just that until the early morning of the second day, Qin Daochuan never appeared again.

Gesang Quzhen rode his horse and walked towards Qin Daochuan, who was ready to set off, and said with a complaining face: "Where did the general go yesterday?" It's easy to find me. ”

Qin Daochuan said indifferently: "There was nothing serious about yesterday, I went to be busy with some personal matters. After speaking, he looked at the three directors of Honglu Temple and said: "The princess can find Master Fu if she has something, and he can also reply to the princess." ”

After saying that, he drove his horse forward, ready to set off, and did not give Gesang Quzhen a chance, raised his whip, rode his horse and galloped forward, and rode straight to the front of Bai Shang's horse team before stopping.

Bai Shang sent them back after ten miles, Qin Daochuan saw that the sky was still good, explained a few words to the guards, and galloped away, Gesang Quzhen had to chase after him.

Along the way, no matter what Gesang Quzhen said, Qin Daochuan only said that she could find Master Fu, and she was a little angry, so she should not talk more.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, when it was about to get dark, the group entered the Xingqing Mansion, and there were already officials outside the city to greet them.

When Tuvar saw Qin Daochuan, he was not polite, and went straight to him, saying: "General Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are coming, so I stayed for a few more days, just waiting for a few more drinks with you." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "King Tuvar, long time no see. After speaking, he turned his head and introduced to him: "This is Princess Gesang Quzhen of Tubo, the fifth daughter of King Wudongzan of Tubo, and the leader of this mission. ”

Since Gesang Quzhen entered the Western Xia, she changed back into women's clothes, and Tuvar saw her who was veiled and only showed a pair of bright and big eyes, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Princess Gesang Quzhen, in the lower Tuvar, is the king of the grassland, and I am fortunate to meet her." ”

Gesang Quzhen was not interested, and said flatly, "Lucky." And he said no more.

Qin Daochuan said: "It's getting late, let's go into the city quickly!" ”

After approaching, he found that Bai Yin was also there, so he drove his horse close and said, "Bai Guard, I met your brother General Bai Shang a few days ago, and I had a good conversation with him. ”

Bai Yin listened and said, "Brother has always been talkative. ”

Qin Daochuan continued: "General Bai Shang has a deep acquaintance, and Daochuan has benefited a lot. ”

Bai Yin felt that Qin Daochuan's words today were a bit much, but when he thought that everyone had lived and died together, he didn't think much about it, and continued: "If General Qin is lucky enough to meet my second brother, he will know what talkative is." ”

Qin Daochuan continued: "Oh, how to talk? ”

Bai Yin said: "A small thing in the bazaar, he can also talk about it vividly for a long time, and when you become interested, when you go to see it yourself, you find that it is not as outrageous as he said." ”

Qin Daochuan smiled: "Isn't that somewhat similar to Qin Nan. ”

Bai Yin also smiled and said, "As soon as you say it, it's really like this." ”

Tuvar, who was not far away, saw it and said to Gesang Quzhen beside him: "Baiyin, oh, my guards, it's rare to laugh a few times a year, but today I saw General Qin and talked a lot." ”

Gesang Quzhen looked at them and said, "The same is true for General Qin, I haven't seen him say so much along the way. ”

Tuvar said: "General Qin is such a nature, I have been with him for several months, and I have not spoken more than a hundred sentences. ”

Gesang Quzhen gave Tuvar a rare look and asked, "Has the king seen General Qin's wife?" ”

Tuval said: "On the march to war, who will take the family? ”

Seeing that Gesang Quzhen's face was not good, he hurriedly added, "No, but I heard that General Qin has two wives, and his sixth child is about to be born." Oh, and it should have been born by now. ”

Gesang Quzhen didn't answer again, just staring ahead, not knowing where to look.

Tuoba Junchi, the king of Western Xia, had already set up a banquet in the palace, and when he saw Qin Daochuan, he greeted him in person and said, "General Qin, this king has been waiting for a long time. ”

Qin Daochuan hurriedly returned the salute and introduced Princess Gesang Quzhen to the king of Western Xia.

The king of Western Xia insisted on inviting Qin Daochuan to take a seat, but Qin Daochuan refused, saying that it was supposed to be Gesang Quzhen to take a seat, and Gesang Quzhen answered: "Qin Daochuan doesn't need to be polite, Gesang Quzhen doesn't mind sitting under the general." ”

When the king of Western Xia heard this, he laughed, shook hands with Qin Daochuan, and pulled him into the upper seat.

Qin Daochuan couldn't just do this.

During the banquet, Xixia did not shy away from saying: "General Qin saved Princess Junya, and helped Tuvar, Tuoba Junchi has nothing to repay, think about it, there is only one thing to express my heart." With that, he motioned for the person behind him to bring up his things.

As soon as the palace guards entered the hall with their things in their hands, Qin Daochuan froze.

Autumn Yang Sword.

Tuoba Junchi, the king of Western Xia, said to Qin Daochuan: "General Qin, after getting this sword, I have been treasured it in the Treasure Pavilion. ”

Qin Daochuan got up, bowed to the king of Western Xia, and said: "This thing is the ancestral sword of Qin, lost for several years, Daochuan is deeply regretful, and now the king is kind to return it, Daochuan is grateful." ”

Tuoba Junchi said: "General, since you have regained this sword today, how about dancing again, so that we can open our eyes?" ”

Qin Daochuan retrieved the Qiu Yang sword, at this time his heart was surging, so he did not shirk, walked off the table, took back the sword from the hands of the guards, and carefully checked the scabbard, the three words of the Qiu Yang sword engraved by his grandfather himself were clearly visible, holding back the tears in his eyes, and the sword was pulled out at once, and the quiet hall instantly roared, and the cold light of the sword body flashed, Qin Daochuan tied the sword scabbard to the belt with one hand, and danced, and the whole hall was silent, until Qin Daochuan closed the momentum, and no one began to cheer after realizing it, Qin Daochuan slowly put the sword back into the scabbard, thanked the King of Western Xia, and returned to his seat.

Gesang Quzhen's eyes never left Qin Daochuan, and at this time, his eyes were shining, and he said, "Is the general's swordsmanship a family heirloom?" Few people dance their swords with sword intent, and Gesang Quzhen finally opened her eyes today. ”

The King of Western Xia also did not hide his admiration, and said: "General Qin, the Qiu Yang Sword is famous on the grassland, and now it is an honor to see it in person!" ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Thank you to the king for his success, Daochuan has nothing to repay, so he has to borrow flowers to offer a cup of Buddha to the king." ”

The king of Western Xia laughed and drank with him.

Gesang Quzhen was dressed up tonight, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were shining, and Tuvar sat opposite, fascinated by it.

After late at night, the wine was dispersed, Qin Daochuan returned to the post house, and there was no one, Gesang Quzhen stood in front of Qin Daochuan's door, the open door was empty, and he waited for a long time before leaving under the urging of the guards.

On the roof of the post house, Qin Daochuan held his sword in both hands, facing the direction of the capital, muttering something, his eyes were already red, and tears flowed down his face.
