Chapter 257: Romantic Fireflies

"It's easy." Tuoba Road.

Jumped into the river, rolled the lotus leaves into a cup, filled two cups of water and gave Gu Qingcheng a cup.

"What is water, what is wine, the so-called water and wine, is just a personal understanding. Wine in the heart, even if it is clear water, it is also fine wine. Come," he said, holding a lotus leaf cup, "Let's toast!" ”

Gu Tingcheng looked at the water and wine, and remembered the tragic death of the two girls.

She is still very guilty, if it weren't for herself, Yun Jin and Zhiruo would not have been ravaged to death by Liu Rushuang!

Two big crystal clear teardrops dripped down the lotus pond.

"Wait a minute." Gu Qingcheng wiped his tears, stood up and raised his glass, "Let's replace wine with water, first salute Zhiruo and Yunjin, and after saluting them, let's toast again." ”

Gu Qingcheng said solemnly and reverently that day: "Zhiruo, Yunjin, you can go with peace of mind, I will definitely help you avenge your revenge!" ”

They didn't notice that the tears in Gu Chengcheng fell into the lotus pond, and the originally clear lotus water was as clear as a mirror, and even the sludge disappeared completely, becoming pollution-free, and the jade lotus root was clearly visible.

Gu Qingcheng was drunk, but what made her drunk was not wine, but the delicate lotus flowers in her eyes.

Tuoba Jun was also drunk, and it was the delicate and beautiful people in front of him who were delicious and intoxicated.

They snuggle up and sit on the moon bridge, enjoying the tranquility of nature and the love that comes from each other.

The sunset was so beautiful, and the wind in the evening was a little fierce, dispelling the last of July's fires.

The sunset is like a veil of flowers, covering rice fields and rape fields, and everywhere is bright red.

Gu Qingcheng vomited blood in the afternoon, cried so sadly, soaked in water again, ate enough fish, and fell asleep soundly in Tuoba Jun's arms.

Her long black and thick hair fell on his arm, and then spread it on the bamboo bridge, setting off a melon seed face as white as jade, black and white, pure and clean.

She slept peacefully in his arms, and her face was soft.

The sunset covered Gu Tingcheng's face, and the eyebrows under his eyes were all faintly red, so soft and beautiful that Tuoba Jun couldn't take his eyes off.

The corners of Tuoba Jun's mouth were slightly upturned, and he quietly watched her sleep and didn't move, for fear that he would wake up Gu Tingcheng, who was sleeping sweetly, with a slight movement.

It wasn't until the black and shiny crickets in the field had to scream non-stop that Gu Qingcheng woke up with a spirit.

I was surprised that the sun had sunk and night was beginning to fall.

Under the shroud of Qingzhan Yuehua, only she and him are in this world.

Gu Qingcheng was far from the bend of the development of Bajun's arm, and found that Tuoba Jun's arm was almost paralyzed and couldn't move.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Gu Qingcheng looked at his paralyzed hand and kneaded him.

"It's rare for you to sleep so soundly, how can I bear to wake you up." Tuoba kissed her, and the two stood up with each other.

Put her back on her clothes, and he carried her on his back again, striding back the way he had come.

On the Qianmo Road, King Gaoyang's guards had already held lanterns along the way, and the lanterns emitted a warm orange light, illuminating the wilderness.

At night, wisps of mist floated and light smoke ethereal, and thousands of fireflies flew on the endless fields, like twinkling stars.

The sky became dreamlike and picturesque.

Occasionally, the crickets in the field screamed, which made it even more quiet and tranquil.

"It's so beautiful! Tuoba Jun, I am reluctant to leave. ”

Gu Qingcheng exclaimed, slipped off his back, clasped his fingers tightly, looking at such a beautiful night scene, he actually lingered.

"I was going to take you to see the fireflies here." Tuoba Jun said and looked at a courtyard with lights and smoke curling with a smile on his face.

The night breeze was slow, blowing Gu Qingcheng's clouds, and a wisp of green silk hung down on her tender white neck.

Tuoba Jun took her hand, followed the light, crossed the rice field, and walked to a bamboo forest.

There is a two-storey small building built of bamboo in front of the bamboo forest, the bamboo building is simple and exquisite, under the shadow of the orange and yellow lights, the bamboo plaque can be vaguely seen to say that the small building is written.

"Hanlian Xiaozhu, such an elegant name, such a dreamy place." Gu Qingcheng looked at the fireflies flying in the air, like the fluorescence of the stars.

"Look at you, like a child." Tuoba Jun smiled, his face was unstoppable pampering.

"It's really beautiful here, although it's not as beautiful as the show, but it has a different kind of beauty in the fields. During the day, you can enjoy the natural scenery of lotus flowers and fields, and at night, you can watch the glow of fireflies. What a great place to linger. ”

Gu Tingcheng was surrounded by fireflies, so beautiful that he was like a dream, and he was drunk when he saw Tuoba Jun.

"If you like, let's come every season in the future." Tuoba Road.

Tuoba Jun walked to the golden eagle standing in front of the bamboo building, touched its head and asked, "Old Jin, how is the harvest today, have you caught any prey?" ”

Zhan Ying came over to answer on behalf of Lao Jin, praising Lao Jin:

"Your Highness, Lao Jin is very powerful today, almost all the hares, pheasants, and rats on this mountain have been captured!"

"So powerful?" Tuoba Jun said: "Bring the meat, this general can reward the old gold!" ”

Zhan Ying smiled and hurriedly went to cut rabbit meat.

Gu Qingcheng also approached the golden eagle and wanted to touch it, but the golden eagle stared at her vigilantly with sparkling eyes.

Tuoba Jun took Gu Qingcheng's hand to stroke the golden eagle and admonished the golden eagle:

"Lao Jin, you can see and remember, this is your only hostess, not only can you not hurt her, but you must protect her well, you know?"

Lao Jin relied on his outstanding achievements today, and looked at Tuoba Jun with unruly wings.

Tuoba Jun gently patted Lao Jin's head a few times:

"Yo he! You stinky old gold, you are proud of your achievements? Don't listen to General Ben, do you? Believe it or not, General Ben starved you for a few months again! ”

Lao Jin looked at Tuoba Jun timidly, and then he hung down his big wings softly and looked at Gu Qingcheng obediently.

"What a cute old gold!" Gu Qingcheng hugged Lao Jin's neck and kissed it, stroking its smooth feathers.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Tuoba Jun pulled Gu Qingcheng away, "Cute is cute, is there anyone like you hugging?" I kissed it. Our old gold is an out-and-out pure man! ”

"Tuoba Jun, you're a stingy ghost!" Gu Qingcheng pouted slightly, stroked the feathers of the golden eagle, and said, "Old Jin, let's leave your master alone, he is a vinegar jar." ”

At this time, Zhan Ying had already cut a plate of raw rabbit meat and served it to Tuoba Jun.

Tuoba Jun took it and began to throw it into Lao Jin's mouth piece by piece.

Lao Jin ate with relish.

"Our Tarzan and Twilight Snow, I don't know if we can eat it today?" Gu Qingcheng watched Lao Jin eat meat and thought of her little wolf cub, "If my Taishan and Twilight Snow are here, will Lao Jin bully my little wolf cub?" ”

As he spoke, a figure outside the bamboo building shook and walked towards them.

Running at the front were two little wolf cubs, running happily towards Gu Qingcheng, followed by Ling Yun, Tuoba Jun's guard.

When Gu Qingcheng saw it, he squatted down in surprise and took the two wolf cubs into his arms.

"Tarzan, Twilight, why are you two little ones here too?" Gu Qingcheng was intimate with the little wolf cub.

Her two wolf cubs are no longer the sick little wolf cubs of the day, but wolf cubs as big as wolf dogs.

Ling Yun in the back said: "Lord Anping, the general is afraid that you are in a bad mood, so he ordered his subordinates to go down to Yixintang to pick up this wolf cub to accompany you in the morning." Fang Cai's subordinates took them to training, and the vigilance of Taishan and Dusk Xue is getting higher and higher, and it is also more humane. ”

Gu Qingcheng smiled at Tuoba Jun and thanked him for his thoughtfulness.

As soon as Lao Jin saw Mount Tai and Dusk Snow, he flapped his wings and claws, ready to pounce.

Gu Qingcheng hurriedly defended Taishan and Twilight Snow and protected them by his side.

Tuoba Jun said to Lao Jin: "Lao Jin, you can catch other prey, but this Taishan and Dusk Xue are your hostess's pets, so you can treat them as a stinky fart and let them go!" ”

Under Tuoba Jun's admonition, Lao Jin reined in his aggressive momentum.

"Tuoba Jun, you will bully my Taishan and Twilight, why are they stinky farts, but they are well-behaved little babies."

Gu Qingcheng caressed Taishan and Twilight Snow lovingly.

“…… Clever? Tuoba laughed and said, "This king has never heard of a wolf being well-behaved in his life!" ”

Gu Qingcheng didn't quarrel with him, and wanted to get the meat from Tuoba Jun's plate to feed Taishan and Twilight.

But she was taken away by Tuoba Jun's hand holding her.

Gu Qingcheng pouted and glared at him.

Tuoba Jun saw that his lady was very dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "Our old gold, if you don't destroy these two wolf cubs, you will already give your hostess face." The meat on its plate is not to be coveted by anyone. ”

After Tuoba Jun finished speaking to Gu Qingcheng, he raised his voice and shouted: "Another plate of mutton!" ”

"Stingy, miser, we Taishan and Duxue just want to eat two pieces of meat from Lao Jin, so we can't bear it." Gu Qingcheng muttered.

"Silly girl, you don't understand." Tuoba Jun looked at his Allure dotingly, "Even if the animals can live in peace, but as long as you want to fight the idea of the meat on its plate, it will be with you, I am protecting Tarzan and Twilight, do you understand?" ”

Tuoba Jun had already finished feeding the meat on his plate as he spoke.

Ling Yun brought goat meat to Gu Tingcheng, and Gu Tingcheng also fed Taishan and Duxue.

After eating, Lao Jin and the two little wolf cubs played in front of the bamboo building without incident.

Tuoba Jun took Gu Qingcheng's hand and walked upstairs.

Sitting on the second floor, the pavilion is condescending, with an unobstructed view, and you can take in the beautiful scenery of fireflies flying and misty.

Feihong Feiyan and Zhan Ying and other guards had already prepared meals in front of the bamboo building.

The smoke curls up, and the smell of food is already overflowing the fields.

Tuoba Jun and Gu Chengcheng watched the fireflies upstairs for a while, smelled the food, and took her hand downstairs.

The meals include fragrant bone lotus root soup, fatty steamed river fish, red stewed wild duck in the field, boiled vegetables in the vegetable field, fried bacon with young bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, roasted hare in the forest, stewed pheasant and braised mountain mouse in the mountains, and braised river shrimp in the river.

The wine is the rural rice bran rice wine made by the head of Shang Lao Zhuang.

Red lanterns are hung everywhere in the bamboo building, just like day, and the orange light is particularly warm, and it becomes more and more romantic in the fireflies.

Tuoba Jun walked to the dining table, picked up the flask and opened the lid, sniffed it, and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

looked at the food again, and said to Allure: "Allure, don't underestimate this farmer's meal, it's no worse than the imperial dining room." ”

Gu Tingcheng said with a smile: "I grew up eating farmhouse food, how can I not know the deliciousness of farmhouse food." ”

"Who's in charge tonight?" Tuoba Jun raised his voice again: "Don't lose the face of the master." ”

"Back to His Highness, his subordinates cooked it with Sun Jie." Tuoba Jun, a guard named Zhang Yang, came over with a shovel.

"Okay, Zhang Yang, your craftsmanship, General Ben can still trust it." Tuoba Jun looked at Zhang Yang and nodded.

Then he beckoned to the other guards, "Come, put these tables together, and everyone eats together!" ”

The guards complied, put several tables together, and put the food and drinks on the table.

"Your Highness, we are slaves, how can we dine with His Royal Highness King Gaoyang?" Fei Hong said uneasily.

"Yes, to dine with the master is to torment the slave and the maid." The flying geese were also sincerely afraid.

"Now it's neither in the palace nor in the prince's mansion, there are not so many rules." Tuoba Jun crossed his waist and said: "When we go out, we eat, drink and sleep with the soldiers many times!" ”

Zhan Ying and the others smiled, as if they were accustomed to it.

Gu Tingcheng also nodded to the two girls, and Feihong and the others were flattered and came over to eat together.

Everyone had a drink and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

During the meal, Zhan Ying enthusiastically served Feihong with vegetables, and Ling Yun politely handed water to Feiyan.

Tuoba Jun said to Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting next to him:

"In the past, if I didn't have to go out to fight, I would take the time to stay here for a night or two at this time of summer to see the fluorescence here."

He looked at Gu Qingcheng's puzzled eyes, and said:

"Because this season is the time when there are the most fireflies. I took local materials and ordered someone to build this bamboo building, which is the best place to watch fireflies. Of course, the upstairs is better. ”

Gu Qingcheng took a closer look, the bamboo forest was on the high side, and sitting in front of the bamboo building, he could already watch the fireflies very well, let alone upstairs.

Gu Qingcheng sweetly watched the glow of fireflies, everything was in plain sight.

Everyone smiled tacitly when they saw them so happy.

Tuoba Jun drank some wine, ate some food, and said:

"Soldiers, Da Wei and Liu Song, it seems that the wind and waves are calm now, but in fact, the wind and clouds are surging, and on the eve of the hurricane, the war is about to break out.

As long as the grain and grass are ready, the army will soon be drawn out, and we will soon go to war with Liu Song again. ”

Gu Qingcheng's mood suddenly became heavy.

Tuoba Jun raised his glass again and said to the guards, "Everyone, are you all ready to go to battle?" ”

The guards stood up majestically and said, "Ready, General!" ”

Since the death of the crown prince Tuoba Huang, Tuoba Huang has been fighting outside for several years, and in the name of hunting, he has carefully cultivated five hundred tigers under his command, and placed them in the secret place of Taiheng Mountain, each of which is an elite.

But those elites are not easy to dispatch.

And the guards around him are brothers in distress who can shed blood for him and see death as home.

"Alright, ready, let's toast!" Tuoba is heroic and dry.

"Cheers! ……”

"The battle of Liu Song is really inevitable?" Gu Tingcheng frowned slightly, and asked in a shallow voice, "Isn't Liu Ziye going to play in the ring of Great Wei and marry Great Wei?" ”

"Liu Ziye's kid is wishful thinking, just tossing around. Not to mention that it is difficult for Da Wei and Liu Song to marry, even if they are married, it will not take a year and a half to start a war. "Tuoba Road.

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Tingcheng asked.

Tuoba Jun said:

"Since Liu Jun usurped the throne, he has wanted to establish his authority, and has been planning to give our Great Wei a head-on blow.

Liu Ziye is in the ring in Dawei, and his Lao Tzu is behind him, and he has already begun to deploy troops.

He thought that Ming Xiu plank road was dark Chen Cang, and used his son to set up a ring in Dawei to blind the eyes of this general, but it was really beyond his strength! ”

"Isn't it true that even marriage will bring peace?" Gu Qingcheng was in a heavy mood.

Tuoba Jun was torn apart by five horses in the snowstorm, and the picture of losing his arms appeared in front of him again.

"Da Wei and Rou Ran also made an alliance, and they were friendly for three years, and they extinguished each other's swords. As a result, it's only been less than a year, and I'm not going to be a soldier in my six towns. Tuoba said, sipping a glass of wine.

"According to your words, I'm afraid that the war will not be far from Liu Ziye's fight in the ring." Gu Qingcheng sighed.

"The so-called three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. For now, let's prepare the grain and grass first. Tuoba Jun nodded.

After a pause, he looked at Gu Qingcheng apologetically, held her hand and said softly: "Okay, it's all my fault, what do you say about fighting, it's a big mess." We should eat, drink, enjoy the scenery, and don't miss such a good day! ”

Tuoba raised his glass and drank with the guards.

After everyone finished eating, the maids and guards lived downstairs, and Tuoba and Gu Qingcheng lived upstairs.

The two walked up to the pavilion on the second floor and snuggled up to watch the fluorescent starry night.

As soon as Tuoba Jun grabbed it, he caught a few fireflies flying in the air and put them in Gu Qingcheng's hands.

Looking at the flickering fireflies, Gu Qingcheng said curiously:

"There are times when the candle burns out, this firefly is so small, and it doesn't run out of its light all at once after the whole night?"

"Fool, do you think fireflies glow all night? It's just a few hours of light. Tuoba Jun stroked Gu Chengcheng's head and said with a smile.

"Really? I thought they were shining all night. Gu Qingcheng sneered.

"The lifespan of fireflies is also short, only about five days, and usually after these few days, you won't see fireflies." Tuoba looked at the fireflies with regret in his tone.
