Chapter 143: Bow to the Father

After walking for about half an hour, as far as the eye can see, it is even more barren, and there are no villages left, only a few mountains in the distance. Ｘ

"Why, didn't we go straight to Taiheng Mountain to watch the scenery?" Gu Qingcheng looked at the mountains and mountains and asked, "Is this a fork in the road?" ”

She began to wonder why Tuoba didn't take her directly into the world-famous Beiyue Taiheng Mountain, but went around to the lofty mountains next to her.

"Well, you'll find out in a minute." Tuoba didn't explain much.

Tuoba drove the horse towards the foot of the mountain, and Gu Qingcheng also led the horse to follow.

At the foot of the mountain, there are a few farmhouses scattered among the trees, but the gates are closed.

Seeing Tuoba riding from far and near, suddenly a family opened the door.

The one who came to open the door was actually a capable and powerful Zhan Ying.

"General!" Zhan Ying saluted Tuoba and then saluted Gu Qingcheng: "Miss Gu." ”

Tuoba and Gu Qingcheng dismounted, and someone came out to fetch their horses.

Gu Qingcheng vaguely understood something at this time, and her heart moved slightly.

Tuoba raised his chin slightly, and said to Zhan Ying: "Let's go." ”

"No!" Zhan Ying responded respectfully.

Gu Qingcheng and Tuoba did not go directly to the scenic spots of Taiheng Mountain, but came to the nearby mountains and directly entered this farm.

In the courtyard house with two entrances, the hidden underground secret room in the east chamber was opened, and Tuoba held the torch handed to him by Zhan Ying, and took Gu Qingcheng into the secret passage.

The passage was built very strongly, and was surrounded by walls of large hard stones, about a foot high and wide, which could be passed by both men and horses.

Zhan Ying had already pulled their horses and took the lead.

Tuoba took Gu Qingcheng's hand and followed closely.

“…… Is this yours, a secret military stronghold? Gu Qingcheng still couldn't help but ask Tuoba.

As Tuoba walked inside, farther and farther away, nothing but their breath was empty.

"My lady is so smart." Tuoba praised.

The secret passage winds its way through all corners and twists.

Rao is Gu Qingcheng has studied the law organs, or has he almost lost his sense of direction, and the road ahead is black and empty, and he only feels that he is walking towards the abyss of hell.

As she walked on horseback, she began to feel a little weak in her legs.

"Tuoba, why did you bring me to such a secret place, you are not afraid that if I am not careful, it will leak out?" Gu Tingcheng asked.

"Of course not." Tuoba didn't want to.

He saw that Gu Qingcheng began to gasp, and he was afraid that she would be tired, so he stopped and rested.

Taking advantage of the rest, Tuoba said:

"Allure, this is the backing of my business after my father's death.

The struggle for imperial power is impossible to prevent.

Ever since my father's accident, I had to plan for myself.

There have been people behind the scenes who have been hunting me down, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is not just a general.

I believe that the death of my father has nothing to do with this man.

On the surface, the capital seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it is the eve of a hurricane, and there are conspiracies planned at all times.

I stayed here for the rear, not to rebel, but to wait for the people behind the scenes to do something, and when the imperial city was in danger, I could go to King Qin.

I don't have a rebellious heart, but anyone who knows that I'm stationed here will definitely think that I have a rebellious heart.

So, here is indeed my secret.

All that I have is all that is yours. We are husband and wife, one heart. My secret, and yours. ”

Gu Qingcheng was stunned.

Such a shocking secret, no matter how innocent Tuoba is, if it is known by the emperor, it is a great crime of rebellion!

Tuoba wasn't afraid of her divulging.

In the dimly lit secret passage, Gu Qingcheng's breathing almost disappeared.

Gently bite your lip.

Unknown emotions flowed in her heart, and her eyes were hot.

Tuoba held Gu Qingcheng's hand:

"Allure, I want you to know everything about me clearly, and show it thoroughly in front of you.

I also insist on worshipping heaven and earth with you during the period of filial piety, which is to let you know that I am not hypocritical to you! ”

After a long time, Gu Tingcheng hummed softly.

Tuoba handed the torch to Gu Qingcheng, and then half-squatted down:

"Come, I'll carry you, and I'll be there with half a cup of tea."

Gu Tingcheng took the torch.

The place where the torch was held by him, warm, the warm current, along Gu Qingcheng's palm, slid into his heart.

Tuoba strode with long legs and walked with Gu Qingcheng on his back, obviously much faster than they had just walked.

After about half a cup of tea, they went out of the secret passage, and in front of them was a deep mountain canyon.

At the bottom of the canyon is a glacier deposited for thousands of years, and even in summer, standing on the edge of the canyon, I feel a chill to the bone.

It turned out that this secret passage led from the foot of the mountain to the hinterland.

A basin in the canyon is stocked with many war horses.

On the way, Tuoba told Gu Qingcheng that this mountain was isolated from the world, and it was impossible to enter except for the secret passage of Fang Cai.

This mountain can be described as an impregnable wall.

When you arrive at the canyon, there is a large and tall iron frame, the iron frame has axle wheels, and inside is a large iron frame, at the other end of the mountain, you can control the lifting.

They entered the iron frame, and Tuoba gestured, and the axle wheel slowly descended.

They landed straight down the glacier and stopped about two feet above it.

The chill was overwhelming.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't imagine that there was such a cold place in summer.

Tuoba can make this pulley so magical, the craftsmanship of the master here should be very powerful.

The glacier that has been deposited for thousands of years, the mountains and canyons on both sides, the cliffs, the sea of clouds and waves on the canyon, and the birds have disappeared without a trace.

Out of the iron frame, there are already his guards waiting below.

Gu Qingcheng was surprised, and he didn't know what the hell Tuoba was doing.

Tuoba had led her to a boardwalk that had opened up next to the cliff.

Keep going forward, and then go around the cliff, and there is a large volley in front of you, and the huge rock is covered with mist.

This rock looks quite like a package of splendid giant eagle rocks.

Standing on the eagle's beak rock overlooking the gorgeous and magnificent peaks and canyons, the blue sea and blue sky, the towering green peaks, as if soaring clouds and mist, it is really magnificent.

At this time, Tuoba pressed a secret button on the cliff in front of the boulder.

The cliff is actually separated from the left and right, and inside the rock wall is a secret room, and the door of the secret room is closed.

But there was a hint of coldness.

It's a strange danger, a coincidence!

Tuoba stood in front of the door of the chamber, and pressed a dark grid on the inner wall, and the door opened.

Inside the secret room is actually a secret room made of thousand-year-old ice.

No wonder it's cold.

"What's in there? Is it an ancient artifact? Gu Tingcheng looked around and asked curiously.

"It's not a baby." Tuoba smiled mysteriously, "It's human." ”

"People?" Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but be shocked, "This ...... Is this a prison? ”

The cold cliff ice room, but it imprisons people, no matter how it sounds, it sounds panicking!

She remembered that Tuoba was giving orders in the prison, making people skin alive.

What important prisoners will be held in such a secret place here?

Her heart began to pound again.

“…… Tuoba, you said you wouldn't take me to torture again. Gu Qingcheng muttered softly and stopped moving forward.

It looks very aggrieved, pitiful.

"Scared?" Tuoba kissed her forehead.

Seeing that her voice was out of tune, he couldn't help but tease her, and whispered in her ear:

"This demon king is going to imprison you here, so no one can covet my woman. When the king feels safe, he will let you out. ”

"Tuoba, you won't really, really imprison me here, will you?"

Tuoba is jealous and crazy, there is nothing he can't do!

"What do you think?" Tuoba smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Tingcheng's aggrieved pout.

While they were talking, Zhan Ying and Ling Yun had already entered the secret room with a red candle and lit it, and then exited.

The cold ice room suddenly brightened up and became like a crystal palace.

"Fool, you are willing to be here, I am still reluctant to let you leave me!" Tuoba kissed her, pulled her, and walked inside.

When he said this, Gu Qingcheng had already vaguely seen the people inside through the transparent ice room.

Inside was an ice room, and there was a man lying in the ice room.

What is hidden in the ice room cannot be a living person.

Gu Tingcheng shuddered!

The mountain is covered with trees, there is no sunlight at the bottom of the canyon, and the snow is covered all year round, and the cold is oppressive.

Coupled with the cold in the deep mountains, the thousand-year-old ice in the secret room will not melt.

Although it was only summer, the moment Gu Tingcheng opened the door of the ice room, it was also cold.

Tuoba straightened her clothes, tidied her up a little, restrained her expression, and her facial lines were tense, solemn and solemn.

"Come, let's go in." He held Gu Qingcheng, and his voice was as warm as jade.

Tuoba at this moment, just like the white and flawless in her dreams, there is no ruffian along the way.

Gu Qingcheng's palms were already stiff, and the warmth of Tuoba's palms gave her warmth, and she held it tightly and refused to let go.

Tuoba led him inside.

This secret room was deeper than Gu Chengcheng imagined, and the large iron door sealed like a treasure trove was not to prevent theft, but to block the cold air here and prevent the ice and snow from melting.

The sides of the aisle were covered in ice, and although candles were lit along the way, it couldn't hold up a little temperature.

Gu Qingcheng blinked, feeling that his eyelashes were heavy, and a layer of ice slag formed after a moment's effort.

Gu Qingcheng forgot his fear, and let the heat run beautiful, turning into frost in an instant.

In front of Gu Qingcheng, there was a huge crystal coffin.

Two big red candles were lit in front of the crystal coffin, which not only illuminated the secret room, but also added a touch of weird festivity.

The crystal coffin is embedded in ice, and the inside of the crystal coffin is very dry.

It is surrounded by flowers made of silk, and through the transparent crystals, they are like flowers.

In the splendid pile, a man slept peacefully.

This man has a graceful demeanor, his hair is combed with dense pigtails, and his royal blue robe is patterned with gold threads, which is noble and gorgeous.

Black silk trousers, royal blue boots.

Xianbei attire.

However, his face had formed a thin layer of frost.

The outline of the facial features under the frost is slightly blessed, and the upper and lower jaws are bearded, but they are also handsome, quite similar to Tuoba.

Tuoba basically inherited seventy or eighty percent of this person's appearance, but it was even more blue.

"Don't be afraid, this is my father." Tuoba said gently.

Gu Qingcheng looked at this man, and she could guess it without Tuoba introducing it.

She looked at the man in front of her, the late crown prince Tuoba Huang, Gu Qingcheng no longer felt afraid.

She knew it was Tuoba's relative.

It's Tuoba's relative, so even if it's a ghost, she won't be afraid.

Not only did she feel scared, she was even a little warm:

This is the father, the father of Tuoba.

And her father.

"Father" is a name as solemn as a mountain.

Walking there, on whomever you put it, you can ooze warmth and leaning on.

For more than ten years, Gu Tingcheng has not enjoyed his father's warm support.

Therefore, she both longs for and admires those good fathers, and the real good fathers are precious to her.

Therefore, the emperor's affection for her like a father is very cherished.

Looking at the father who died, let Tuoba love, she slowly gave birth to kindness.

She just wondered how the dignified prince could be in this canyon ice room.

Didn't he already be buried in the imperial mausoleum a year ago?

"My father died an unknown death, and I smuggled him here in the middle of the night from his coffin.

I vowed to catch his killer and bury him in the open.

Instead of letting him commit suicide with the stigma of fear of sin, he hated Jiuquan. ”

Tuoba's voice was calm and low, as if he was afraid of waking up the people in the crystal coffin.

Tuoba continued softly:

"This is what my father found when I was a child when I took me to hunt, and then my father began to build a secret passage here.

At that time, my father only thought that one day, tired of the strife of imperial power, came here to escape the world.

It was only after my father was poisoned that I turned this place into a military stronghold. There is also a temporary resting place for the father. ”

He turned his head and asked Gu Tingcheng:

"Everyone in the world says that it is safe to enter the earth, but I put my father here, is it very unfilial?"

"No," Gu Qingcheng said softly, holding his hand, "This is the place where your father likes to escape from the world.

You also said that you had to find out who killed him so that he could be buried in style.

Instead of committing suicide with the stigma of committing suicide in fear of sin, he hated Jiuquan.

Not only are you not unfilial, but you are a rare filial son in the world.

Your father will be proud of you, and I will be proud of you. ”

Tuoba put his arms around Gu Qingcheng and choked in his throat.

Tears fell on Gu Qingcheng's forehead.

It melts into her heart.

Her eyes began to heat and flush as well.

After a moment, he let go of her and led her to the front of the crystal coffin.

"Allure, yesterday we have worshiped heaven and earth, and today it is time to worship the high church." Tuoba Road.

Tuoba led Gu Tingcheng to kneel, the ground was cold and biting, but Gu Tingcheng didn't feel any pain.

Tuoba solemnly said to Tuoba in the coffin:

"Father, this is your daughter-in-law. Ten years ago, my son told you that I wanted to find her and marry her as a concubine.

Allure is already a woman, and we also worshiped heaven and earth yesterday to get married.

The child knows that he is still abiding by the system and can't marry Allure, but he wants to marry Allure as soon as possible.

Please forgive your son for his unfilial piety.

Er and Allure have performed a simple ritual of worshipping heaven and earth yesterday, and now they are bringing Allure to see you. ”

Tuoba led Gu Qingcheng to kowtow to his father:

"Allure, let's kowtow to our father together, hoping that he will bless us and find out his murderer as soon as possible.

I also hope that my father will bless us with a hundred years of happiness and happiness. ”

"Goodbye to the high hall!" Zhan Ying sang in a low voice behind them.

Gu Qingcheng and Tuoba kowtowed three times reverently.

When he got up again, Tuoba whispered to his father again:

"Father, when the murderer behind you is found, my son will bury you in a grand manner.

In the future, I will bring Allure to see you during the New Year's holidays.

I believe that in the near future, we will bring our children and grandchildren to visit you.

You want to bless your son and Allure and become a real husband and wife smoothly. ”

When Tuoba said that when he brought his grandson to see his father, Gu Qingcheng's face couldn't help but feel ashamed.

When Tuoba took her hand and was about to leave, Gu Qingcheng suddenly paused: "Tuoba, you said that your father was poisoned?" ”

Tuoba nodded:

"My father was sent back to the capital by the imperial grandfather, and he was so angry that he was delirious along the way, and he actually insulted the imperial grandfather.

Later, he was poisoned on the way. Many people suspected that it was his father who insulted the emperor's grandfather, so much so that the emperor's grandfather killed him in a fit of rage. ”

“…… Insulting His Majesty in a delirious sense? Gu Qingcheng frowned and asked.

"I followed my father, who seemed so angry that he couldn't even recognize me." Tuoba groaned.

"In this way, it is likely that your father was poisoned a long time ago, but he was only poisoned on the way. He is really delirious, so he will insult your imperial grandfather, which is exactly the result of the people behind the scenes. Gu Qingcheng pondered.

"The person behind the curtain is really vicious!" Tuoba closed his eyes slightly with hatred.

"I want to take some of your father's blood and go back to see what kind of poison your father has suffered." Gu Tingcheng Road.

When he came to his father, he hesitated, "In this way, will you offend your father?" ”

"You just want to restore your father's innocence, how can you say offended." "Come on." ”

So Gu Tingcheng pricked the late prince Tuoba Huang's finger with a silver needle, the prince's blood had already coagulated, and it was difficult to distinguish the smell it contained under the freezing.

Gu Tingcheng picked out a blood clot and wrapped it on the cloth and took it back for testing.
