Chapter 58: Lan Gu arrives
In the Linzhou Inn, there were several tables of people sitting and talking early in the morning.
"I heard that the army of Jinguo has reached the border, and it looks like it's about to be attacked." A young man recounted the news he had just returned from the border.
An old man with gray temples glanced at him with contempt and said, "What are you afraid of, this kid of you, we are in the poor countryside of Linzhou, and we can't even look down on Mu Yunche, how can Jinguo go to the trouble of working for the people." ”
"You can't say that, the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, we also belong to the northern country here, if the country is defeated......"
"Bah, you kid is impatient, and you and I dare to say this?" The old man interrupted him.
The young man didn't give up, as if he felt that the people at the next table didn't listen to his worries, and continued: "Then the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom have been friendly for decades, why did they suddenly attack, would they start a war unprepared? I heard that Haoyue Palace also joined the camp of Jinguo this time, and helped Jinguo force the army led by King Yi into the Peak Valley. ”
"What?" The old man glanced around and approached the young man.
The people at the next table also moved closer to his table.
Seeing that everyone was excited to hear this, the young man said again: "I heard that after King Yi was forced into the canyon, when he led the army to break through, he was blocked by the boulders rolling down the mountain, and the army was trapped in the valley and it was difficult to get out. Later, it was King Qing who led the reinforcements from Qizhou to arrive, and forced the Jin army back. ”
"And then?" Another man at the next table asked.
The young man glanced at the people surrounding the table and said, "King Qing will take out the army trapped in the canyon, and camp on the spot after leaving the canyon to treat the casualties. Many doctors in the neighborhood have stepped forward and have entered the barracks to treat wounded soldiers. ”
"Jinguo has withdrawn?"
"I don't know if I retreat or not."
"Haoyue Palace has not always been alone, how could it suddenly fall to Jinguo?" The old man asked puzzled.
"Then I don't know." The guy replied lightly.
Mu Yun stood in the corridor of the inn, listening to the discussions of the people below, a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and she turned around and went back to the house.
It seems that she must plan to go to the vicinity of the Jinguo military camp as soon as possible.
Two days later, Lan Gu finally led Yingfu and Gardenia to the inn and found Mu Yunqi.
In the reunion picture, Yingfu's crying was indispensable, and after she wiped away her tears, Mu Yunqi told Lan Gu about her recovery of her memory.
Tears welled up in Lan Gu's eyes, and she said, "The slave knows that the young lady will remember it sooner or later." ”
Mu Yunqi stepped forward to pass away her tears, and said distressedly: "For so many years, I have suffered you." ”
"The slave hopes that Miss will never remember, but now .......," she said, shaking her head, choked up and unable to speak.
Mu Yunqi pursed his lips and said nothing, got up and turned his back on her.
"Right now, you also know the affairs of the northern country, and I can't escape the blame for the smoke in the world."
Lan Gu's tears couldn't stop falling, looking at Mu Yunqi's back, she recalled the past and Bai Fanxi.
"Everyone in the world says that the Linguo was destroyed because of the princess, but the fact is just that the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom want to invade the Linchao."
Mu Yunqi turned around and said, "I know, but this time is different, this war is indeed caused by me." ”
Lan Gu sighed, lowered her head and said nothing.
"When Bai Rong comes back, you can follow him to the tombstone of your father."
"Bai Rong and Miss met?" She asked, looking back, surprised.
"He has always been in the Third Brother Army."
"Does the young lady have any plans for the future?"
Mu Yunqi looked at her calmly and said, "Let him take you to your father's tombstone, and Yingfu will go with him." Gardenia Xia went with me to the Jinguo military camp. ”
Yingfu and Gardenia looked up at the same time, puzzled on their faces.
Seeing this, Lan Gu couldn't help but be surprised, "Why did Miss go to Jinguo." ”
"I want to help Gu Hanxuan."
"No, Miss can't be like this, why do you want to get involved in the war in this world?" Lan Gu knelt down straight as she spoke, looked up at her, and persuaded her bitterly.
Mu Yunqi couldn't understand why she reacted so strongly, and tried to help her up, but she brushed her hand away.
"If the princess was dedicated to living with the prince at ease, how could there be anything later. Everything is because the princess can't let go of the palace master of Haoyue Palace, and now, does the young lady have to go on the same path? ”
The more Mu Yunqi listened, the more confused she became, looking at her kneeling body trembling slightly from the excitement of speaking.
"Lan Gu, what do you mean by this? What happened back then, is it really related to my mother? ”
Lan Gu paused, thought for a long time, and said: "The princess married the prince to avoid Nangong Ling, and also to test him, the princess has always loved Nangong Ling, and later the princess chose to commit suicide because she wanted him to live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of her life. ”
Mu Yunqi's body staggered, she held on to the wooden table, and slowly sat down on the stool.
She shook her head in disbelief, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe that her mother had never loved her father.
"Impossible, my mother said that she only hated Nangong Ling."
"Miss, don't you understand that hate is love, if there is no love in your heart, how can you hate?"
Mu Yunqi looked at Lan Gu and knew from the look on her face that her words were the truth, the truth that even her mother herself might not know.
"The past is over, it's just ......"
Lan Gu said hurriedly: "The slave said this, not to tell the young lady about the past, but to let you see your heart clearly. ”
Her face turned pale suddenly, and her beautiful face showed panic, and she said softly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Lan Gu kowtowed, bowed her head and said: "Miss's heart for Nangong He, when she was separated from Haoyue Palace that day, the slave maid saw it clearly. ”
She got up suddenly, walked to the lattice and called the window sash, she knew in her heart what Lan Gu wanted to say next, it was a fact that she knew very well in her heart but was unwilling to admit it.
Lan Gu looked at her silently, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
As long as you can persuade her to stay away from this strife, even if she is rejected by the young lady, what does it matter. She can't let the young lady repeat the path of the princess, and she can't let her be entangled between Jinguo and Beiguo.
Maybe Gu Hanxuan is sincere to Miss, but she still feels inappropriate.
Now that the world is in chaos, she wants to leave with the young lady.
She knew in her heart what Mu Yunqi had asked her to do at the tombstone of King Jin, and she knew about King Jin's actions back then.
"Miss, stay away from here, stay away from this world."
Mu Yunqi looked at the bottom of the inn and said, "Where to go?" ”
"Once you are gone, the affairs of this world will no longer be relevant to you. Everything left by the prince can be given to the emperor, and you can also get rid of the guilt in your heart. ”
"You know everything, you know everything." Mu Yunqi's tone was faint and sad.
"Now because of you, the emperor has been reluctant to canonize Concubine Xin as the queen, and the relationship with the Lian Dynasty has been stiff again and again." Lan Gu's words were extremely sharp, revealing Gu Hanxuan's real difficulties now.
Mu Yunqi's eyes closed tightly and he sighed heavily.
Leaving Gu Hanxuan, she had no other feeling but guilt, but she was unwilling to leave this world and go to the world.
