Chapter 90: Convergence
In the dead of night, Gu Huanyi lay in the tent, listening to the wind whistling on the grassland outside, and suddenly thought a little about Li Congxin, and he didn't know where the mission had gone and how far away he was......
Because of thinking about Li Congxin, Gu Huanyi didn't sleep deeply, and in the second half of the night, the sound of horses' hooves and neighing woke her up.
She immediately sat up nervously from the bed.
Before setting off from the capital, her uncle told her that she must be careful of robbing horse bandits outside!
Especially in Beiyi, it is even more common for caravans to be robbed!
Since leaving the customs, Gu Huanyi has not slept steadily, because she is afraid that an accident on the way to the caravan will disrupt her rescue plan.
She quickly got dressed, lifted the curtain and was about to call Liu Pei and Zhu Yong to be on alert, but saw only a lonely black shadow approaching from a distance.
Liu Pei had also discovered people close to the caravan and rushed over to investigate in advance.
Gu Huanyi watched from a distance, feeling that this figure was very familiar, and followed in disbelief.
The figure jumped off the horse and strode closer, and the autumn moon illuminated him, it was Li Congxin!
Gu Huanyi's eyes widened and asked, "Why are you here?!" ”
Li Congxin rushed for a long time, panted slightly, pointed to the tent behind her and said, "Don't alarm others, let's go in and talk." ”
Entering the tent where Gu Huanyi was resting, Li Congxin took a big sip of water and said, "After leaving Sanyang Pass, I will let Yang Xin pretend that I am staying in the mission, and I will enter the Beiyi King City with you in advance first, and when the mission arrives, I will go to meet them." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded, that's fine, in case the Beiyi people have bad intentions, they won't be able to catch Li Congxin.
Gu Huanyi said: "I knew that you had such an arrangement, I should have asked the caravan to wait for you, you are in such a hurry, you are tired." ”
The caravan set off a few days earlier than the mission, and even though the mission was fast on the official road, Li Congxin had to catch up with them after leaving the customs, at least for two days and two nights.
Li Congxin smiled lightly and said, "I didn't plan to do this, but when I passed by Liangzhou, I missed you too much." ”
Gu Huanyi also misses him very much tonight, and understands his emotions very well at the moment.
She stepped forward and slowly threw herself into his arms and said, "Me too, I didn't feel it in the territory of Xuan Kingdom, but when I arrived in Beiyi, I began to feel uneasy and missed you very much." ”
Li Congxin touched the long hair behind her back.
He had just come on horseback, and before he could reach him, Gu Huanyi woke up, which was enough to see how uneasy she was.
Gu Huanyi looked up from his arms and said with a smile, "I heard about you tonight." ”
Li Congxin asked curiously, "What are you talking about me?" ”
The people who followed Gu Huanyi were all businessmen and martial artists, it stands to reason that they shouldn't know anything about him, how could they mention him?
Gu Huanyi said: "Zheng Qing said that you used to learn art in Taibai Mountain, and you are very famous in the rivers and lakes, I haven't heard you say this." ”
Li Congxin and Gu Huanyi sat down on the edge of the bed together, his expression was a little stunned, and said: "It's not to hide it from you, but the days when I was a teenager were so far away that it seems that several lives have passed, and I rarely think about it." ”
Gu Huanyi knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not only taking on the responsibility for the rise and fall of the Ming Palace, but also carrying the Gu family's great cause of revenge.
She was a little distressed, but hoped that he could still run the rivers and lakes like a teenager.
"I want to hear about your previous life in the rivers and lakes."
Li Cong thought for a while and said, "When I was six years old, my mother sent me to Taibai Mountain to learn literature and martial arts from my ancestor Daoyi Zhenren and my master Caomu Zhenren. After eight years of penance, at the age of 14, he went down the mountain with his brother and sister. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, and in the name of studying abroad, he offended the eight major factions all over the ......"
As Zheng Qing described to Gu Huanyi before, Li Congxin looked for someone to learn from every sect he came to, and no one among his peers was invincible, and he was very arrogant.
Gu Huanyi smiled and said, "You are not afraid of others attacking you en masse. ”
Li Congxin shook his head and said: "I didn't have to be tortured by the world at that time, relying on someone to support me, I am not afraid of heaven and earth. ”
At that time, he never thought that his father, who was a prince, would be killed, nor did he think that the pride of heaven would fall into the quagmire one day.
Behind him is the height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes, and he has learned a skill, and he doesn't know what he cares about.
"Later, my mother died of a serious illness, and I returned to the Ming Dynasty at the age of sixteen, and then met the rebellion of King Yi and was recruited into Beijing. After that, you know. ”
He looked at the girl beside him, he now has concerns, he has suffered hardships, and he is no longer the arrogant boy he was at the beginning.
Gu Huanyi said yearningly: "When my family's revenge is avenged, and you are free again, can you take me to Taibai Mountain?" I want to see where you studied art, and I want to travel with you to the Eight Major Schools. Although I heard you and Zheng Qing talk about the rivers and lakes, I still don't know what it looks like. ”
Thinking of being able to travel hand in hand with Gu Huanyi, Li Congxin was also very yearning, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you." ”
Li Congxin came quietly alone, neither the caravan nor the people in the Prestige Hall knew that they were all shocked when they saw a man coming out of Gu Huanyi's tent early the next morning, but after thinking about it for a while, they were even more shocked when they understood the identity of the man.
Zheng Qing was also a little surprised.
He had heard earlier that Miss Gu and the prince of the Ming family were married, but it was just like the marriage of other gate valves, at most, because the prince of the Ming family reached out to help the Gu family when they were in trouble, which made Miss Gu a little more grateful to him, but he didn't expect Li Congxin to be so dedicated to Gu Huan.
Gu Huanyi introduced the two to each other, and quipped: "You said yesterday that you wanted to learn from the prince, and the opportunity is here." ”
Li Congxin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Zheng Shaoxia has this idea? Indeed, it is possible to make an appointment. ”
Gu Huan thought that he was serious, and hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it later, I have to hurry now, and I have a lot of concerns in Beiyi." ”
Li Congxin and Zheng Qing did not insist, after all, the exchange may hurt the peace, and it is indeed not suitable to do it before the big thing is done.
After setting off, Li Congxin and Gu Huanyi rode side by side, and Li Congxin said to her: "I came here to cover up my identity, it's not appropriate for you to call me the son of the world again, let's change the name." ”
Gu Huanyi tilted his head to look at him, thinking about how to shout.
Li Congxin is five years older than her, and it is inappropriate to call him by name, which will damage his majesty outside.
Although the two are married, they have not married, and it is even more inappropriate for the father-in-law, husband and the like.
Gu Huanyi said tentatively: "Call brother? ”
The corners of Li Congxin's mouth immediately bent into the sky, and he nodded: "It's good, shout again." ”
Gu Huanyi glared at him and said, "Just let you take advantage of it for a few days, and I will be able to find my brother immediately." ”
With Li Congxin by his side, Gu Huanyi's mood became relaxed.
When they were on the road, the two raced horses and roamed the grassland; During the break, slaughter the sheep and roast the meat, talk and laugh and laugh so cheerful!
Seeing the cheerful and chic Gu Huanyi, and then thinking of the life she longed for last night to travel together in the rivers and lakes, Li Congxin knew that this girl should belong to the world of freedom.
Regardless of the past and present life, when he met Gu Huanyi, she was no longer a carefree Miss of the General's Mansion, she was already burdened with heavy hatred, she suppressed her yearning, lived a restrained life, and I don't know if she was truly happy......
From this point of view, Zheng Qing in the previous life wanted Gu Huanyi to give up revenge and wanted to take her away, but it was indeed for her good.
Li Congxin thought of this, and was a little stunned.
When Gu Huanyi married him and became the princess, he could only stay in the capital like him. Unless King Ming dies and he returns to his territory to inherit the throne, Gu Huanyi can regain his freedom.
But at that time, they are afraid that they will have to send their first child to the capital as a hostage, can Gu Huanyi accept the pain of parting?
He couldn't bear her to go through this, and he wanted to give her a truly carefree life.
