Chapter 371: Life is impermanent

Chapter 371: Life is impermanent

A sycamore leaf and an autumn, a little plantain and a little sorrow. Vertex updates are the fastest

The Great Wei Palace, seemingly calm.

Tuoba Tao ordered the inner servant to pass Gu Qingcheng to the imperial study.

The sycamores of the Imperial Garden, rendered in gold, shine half of the sky.

The autumn wind blew a lake of clear water, rippling and tumbling.

A sycamore leaf fell in front of Allure.

Gu Tingcheng caught the golden sycamore leaves.

Somehow, her ribcage sank.

I just feel that something bad will happen.

When he came to the outside of the imperial study, the waiter raised his voice:

"The lord of Anping County drove to ......"

Looking at the Allure that walked in, Tuoba Tao was not in a hurry to get down to business for a while, but said something unhurried and painless.

"Girl, since you helped me take care of this leg disease, my legs and feet have been much easier."

Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng, and his fingers lightly buckled on the dragon case.

Such actions show that there is some confusion in people's hearts.

The owner of the finger is organizing what is being spoken.

"That's good." Gu Qingcheng smiled and said.

I knew in my heart that His Majesty specially passed himself into the imperial study, probably not only to tell himself that his leg disease had healed.

Is there any battle report in Gangnam?

Sure enough, after a while, Tuobatao's expression became solemn, sighed heavily, and said:

"Actually, I have sent you here because I have something to tell you."

Gu Qingcheng looked at Tuoba Tao, and suddenly had a premonition that something bad was happening.

It can't be that something happened to Tuoba, right?

Although they have been fighting for the past few days, the war has gone smoothly.

No!

If he can still breathe, it means that Tuoba will not have any accidents.

And if there is any accident in Tuoba, how can the emperor, who is the grandfather of Emperor Tuoba, have no grief on his face.

Could it be ...... Is it the big brother who hasn't heard from him all the time?

She was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Your Majesty, please say, whatever happens, Allure can stand it." ”

"I just received the report of the spy lurking in Rouran, Gu Qing returned to Rouran, and Rouran Datan Khan welcomed the return of the prince, and the whole country celebrated, and there was no defense.

Rouran Zuoxian Wang Hulu slaughtered Xiu, launched a mutiny, led his tribe, and brought troops to the royal court.

It seems like...... It was with people inside and outside, and it was easy to kill the Great Tan Khan and usurp the throne.

and imprisoned Da Tan Kedun and Hu Luqing and became prisoners.

Now, Hu Lu Tu Xiu has successfully usurped the throne and has become a Rouran Khan. ”

Gu Qingcheng was shocked, his legs weakened, and he sat down on the chair.

Sure enough, what she was worried about in her heart really happened.

She has always wondered that no matter how busy her eldest brother is when he returns to Rouran, sending someone to send her a letter of peace is also a gesture, and it does not delay him for any time.

The eldest brother should know that she has always been concerned about his safety.

Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was stunned, and muttered again:

"I know that Ling'er's girl likes Gu Qing quite much, don't tell Ling'er about Gu Qing for the time being.

Otherwise, that crazy girl who is in a hurry, desperate to go to Rouran, will really go to death in vain. ”

"Your Majesty, my eldest brother was imprisoned by Hu Lu Tuxiu, and he must be more than lucky."

Gu Qingcheng's face was anxious, and his eyes were full of tears.

Then ask the Emperor that:

"Can Da Wei send troops to Rouran, defeat Hu Lu Tuxiu, and rescue my eldest brother and them?"

The emperor looked at the scorching Allure and sighed:

"Allure, that's not your big brother."

After a pause, Tuoba Tao shook his head silently again:

"You also know that now that Great Wei is all his energy to the south, it is impossible to divide his troops to save them.

Time, fate, and heaven, sometimes, even the emperor sighs in vain. ”

"No!" Allure couldn't hold back any longer, and burst into tears: "A brother for one day, a brother for life." No matter who he becomes, he will always be the big brother of Allure! ”

Immediately, she wiped her tears and said anxiously:

"Gu Qing is not only my eldest brother, his Ke Dun is also Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's own sister.

Your Majesty, if you don't send troops to save them, you will go alone in Allure, and you must rescue my eldest brother and his Kedun. ”

"Allure, calm down!"

Tuoba Tao walked in front of Gu Qingcheng.

patted her shoulder gently, looked at her with tears streaming down her face, and said calmly:

"Just because you say that Gu Qing is your eldest brother, you have to sacrifice your life to save each other, and I will use the strength of my Great Wei to rescue Gu Qing.

But you should also know that Er took all the elite soldiers and good generals of Great Wei to conquer Liu Song.

What I had left, except for the soldiers of the Six Towns to defend against the invasion from the north, was the tens of thousands of horses defending the imperial city.

At this moment, don't talk about the Northern Expedition, the north and the south are at war at the same time, and the Great Wei is beyond its reach.

On the occasion of my Great Wei's southern expedition, we must be good-neighborly and friendly with Rouran, lest they raid and unite with Liu Song to attack our Great Wei from the north and south! ”

Gu Tingcheng actually knew this truth.

Tuoba has taken away the elite Southern Expedition of the Great Wei.

At this time, it should be the time for Da Wei to have a good relationship with Rouran.

How is it possible to send troops to Rouran?

So he nodded and said calmly:

"I also know that Great Wei, it is not suitable for the Northern Expedition now, I want to find a way to go by myself, my eldest brother falls into their hands, and he will definitely die for life."

"Allure, don't be emotional. Now the entire Rouran is controlled by Hu Lu Tuxiu.

Even the customs clearance between Rouran and Dawei has been completely blocked, and the previous trade exchanges have been stopped. ”

"Really?" Gu Tingcheng was shocked, "Then Hu Lu Tu Xiu, actually guarding against Great Wei?" ”

Tuoba Tao nodded again:

"Don't say it's you, no one can go in and out of Rouran without Tuxiu Khan's edict."

“…… Then my eldest brother, aren't they, can only wait for death? ”

Gu Qingcheng was even more anxious, and he couldn't wait to rush to Rouran immediately.

Tuoba Tao pondered again:

"Come to think of it, Na Hu Lu Tu Xiu didn't plan to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so he imprisoned Gu Qing, otherwise, when Da Tan Khan was killed, Gu Qing, as the eldest prince, would not be spared."

Gu Qingcheng nodded silently, His Majesty analyzed it like this, and she also had a little luck.

"But Hu Lu Tu Xiu didn't kill the eldest brother at this time, probably because he wanted to wait for people's hearts to settle down and then try to kill him. From the point of view of the eldest brother, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape after all. ”

Gu Tingcheng was still worried.

"Your analysis is also good, Hu Lu Tu Xiu has killed his brother and usurped the throne, and there is no reason not to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Don't kill Hu Luqing for the time being, I'm afraid it's true, in order to calm people's hearts, I will slowly try to do it. ”

The emperor also groaned and said:

"Datan Khan, after all, is a Rouran Khan for decades, and he should have cultivated a lot of loyal subordinates for so many years.

They celebrated the whole country, and there were internal traitors who should cooperate with each other, and they were caught off guard, so that Hu Lu Tuxiu treacherous plan succeeded.

I heard that most of my cronies were slaughtered, but some of my generals still escaped.

Now it seems that whether or not you can resolve your eldest brother's calamity depends on those cronies who escaped. ”

"There are very few who can escape, how can they be against the army of Hulu Tuxiu."

Gu Qingcheng shook his head, not pinning his hopes on those people.

Quickly wiped away his tears: "What's the use of me just crying here, I can't help my eldest brother at all!" ”

After a little thought, he said calmly:

"Your Majesty, although Da Wei and Rouran have not cleared the customs for the time being, Your Majesty's messenger should be able to enter Rouran, right?

It is inconvenient for Dawei to send troops to rescue people at this moment, and Allure understands it very well.

But can Your Majesty write a letter to repair the country, give Hu Lu Tu Xiu, and bitterly state that he should be connected by blood, brothers, friends and brothers.

Now he has done the opposite, he has killed his brother, usurped the throne of the Khan, and if he kills his sister-in-law and nephew again, it will only make the world laugh and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

I hope that he will remember the affection of his siblings and nephews, show mercy to his subordinates, and convince people with virtue.

Great Wei is a great country, and His Majesty's prestige shocks the four seas, and I hope it can also deter Hulu Massacre.

made him have some scruples, so as not to kill his brother, and then kill his nephew and sister-in-law.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

As long as you can save the life of the eldest brother, everything will be variable and possible! ”

Tuoba Tao nodded and readily agreed:

“…… Okay, this I can repair a book immediately and give it to Hu Lu Tuxiu, hoping that he can show mercy to Gu Qing's mother and son. ”

"Allure has thanked Your Majesty for saving your brother."

Gu Qingcheng knelt down and kowtowed, thanking His Majesty.

He also said: "At the previous bonfire party, Your Majesty was assassinated, didn't Your Majesty ask what reward Allure needs?" This will be used as Your Majesty's reward for Allure! ”

"It seems that the girl doesn't want to accept my favor for nothing." Tuoba Tao smiled bitterly.

"Although there is no hope of repaying the favor, but now the city is in the land, after all, it has asked for a reward.

The brothers settle the accounts, although we are friends who have forgotten the year, so we don't owe each other, and our hearts are open, so we have a clear conscience. ”

Gu Qingcheng said seriously.

"Okay, what a frank heart, Allure is really the husband of the middle woman!" Tuoba Tao is the first to go.

Then he returned to the dragon case to write a letter, and Gu Tingcheng personally polished the ink for him.

After writing the official national letter, Gu Tingcheng helped to light the molten paint.

The emperor put fire paint on the seal of the letter and carefully stamped it with a gold seal of fire paint.

Tuoba Tao then summoned Mu Cheng to come in, sent 800 li to expedite, and immediately sent the letter to Rouran to the new Khan Hulu Tuxiu.

Gu Qingcheng's hanging chest was finally a little stable.

I only hope that Hu Lu Tu Xiu can take the national letter of the Great Wei Emperor to heart.

Before leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, Tuoba Tao said again:

"Girl, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, try to hide it first. Although paper can't contain the fire after all, it can hide it from them for a while, and it is a while.

If you really can't hide it, tell them again. At the very least, let them worry less about it. ”

"Okay, Allure understands His Majesty's hard work."

Gu Qingcheng thought at this moment, Your Majesty maybe, also cares about your aunt?

Leaving the imperial study, Gu Tingcheng thought that his eldest brother was imprisoned, and his life and death were uncertain.

I can't help myself, so I can only be anxious.

The whole person is like roasting on a charcoal fire, the fire is burning urgently, but there is nothing that can be done.

The chest cavity seemed to be blocked by thick cotton wool, and I was very depressed, and I was about to suffocate.

I even wanted to find a place to cry bitterly.

She rode away from the palace and walked aimlessly through the streets of the imperial city.

Feihong Feiyan saw that the county lord had a different look, and he was afraid that something would happen to the county lord, so he also rode a horse and followed closely to the left and right.

The autumn wind is sorrowful, the sky is cool, and the golden chrysanthemums in the city reflect the yellow flowers.

When she came to Suzaku Street, Gu Qingcheng dismounted and walked slowly, and the Feihong Feiyan behind her hurriedly helped her lead the horse.

She remembered that when she first came to Pingcheng and just arrived at Gu's mansion, the eldest brother was protecting herself.

Tears can't help but burst out of my eyes.

Wiping his tears, he remembered that when he first came to Pingcheng, his eldest brother took him shopping.

I also bought a pearl hairpin for myself in the champion workshop.

The chest cavity was even more congested, and he walked into the champion square unconsciously.

Gu Chengcheng moved the world, and that time the Linglong Pavilion caught fire, and she was outside the Linglong Pavilion.

The guys in the Zhuangyuan Fang next door had all seen Gu Qingcheng, so they recognized her as the county lord of Anping at a glance.

The shop guy greeted her warmly and led her to visit the champion square.

Introduce her to the materials used in each type of hairpin and which master it belongs to.

Gu Qingcheng didn't want to listen at all, he just heard someone chattering.

In front of her, there was only the scene where the eldest brother bought her a pearl hairpin.

Tears involuntarily welled up in my eyes.

"Dumping ...... City? ”

A stunned voice behind him shouted a thousand times.

Gu Qingcheng looked back, it was Qin Shaoqing.

He was still dressed in a green shirt, as elegant as ever, even though he now had a monopoly on almost all business in the city.

Become the richest tyrant.

Qin Shaoqing is the master of Hongmen, and it is rare to go back to Zhuangyuanfang on weekdays, but I don't know that today, it is so coincidental.

Actually, this is his shop, and it is not surprising to see him.

"I didn't expect Allure to come out shopping." Qin Shaoqing said with a smile.

Gu Tingcheng hurriedly put away his tears and cleared his throat:

"I ...... I happened to pass by, so I came in to take a look. ”

"It's rare to fall into the city, and you can still look down on the vulgar things of our champion fang."

Qin Shaoqing was surprised and delighted, and then hurriedly ordered his guys:

"Wrap up all the styles that the county lord of Anping likes, and send someone to the palace."

"Don't don't ......," Allure immediately stopped, "I just miss my eldest brother, he took me to visit this champion square that day, and then walked in to take a look." ”

Qin Shaoqing saw a worried look between her eyebrows and eyes, so she was not reluctant.

"Allure is so worried, is something wrong?" Qin Shaoqing asked understandingly.

Gu Qingcheng sighed slightly and pulled out a bitter smile.

The two exchanged a few words, and Qin Shaoqing said:

"Shall I invite you to eat peach blossom soup? After drinking the sweet peach blossom soup, people's mood will improve. ”

"Okay." Gu Qingcheng said briskly.

They went outward, passing through the heavens and the earth of the past.

Although the heavens and the earth were in ruins, Anling Geren later built an open-air stage on it for Hua Xiangrong.

At this moment, there is a drama singing on it, and the singing seems to be "Hate Lock the Monocyst".

She recalled the scene when she and her eldest brother came to heaven and earth to eat tea and listen to jokes, and she couldn't help but feel gloomy again.

Life is impermanent, but I didn't expect that the eldest brother was not my father's son, but the eldest prince of Rouran.

When he finally made himself happy for his eldest brother, he returned to Rouran, but he was imprisoned again, and his life and death were uncertain.

Her eyebrows were lightly raised, and she looked at the green clothes on the stage, and it was a familiar figure.

That person turned out to be the fifth aunt Xiao Hongyu.

I saw Xiao Hongyu wearing a green shirt and drumming, white water sleeves flying, and the sideburns on her forehead were all pasted with glittering flowers and pearls......

Xiao Hongyu's appearance in green clothes is not comparable to Hua Xiangrong.

The same peach and plum style, with delicate and gentle boudoir feelings and long wisps of sorrow.

She danced her water sleeves and sang babblingly:

In an instant, all seven emotions were exhausted

Penetrated the tears of the sour and bitter clothes

I only say that iron wealth is destined for life

Who knows that the number of lives is clear in an instant

……

……

……

Xiao Hongyu's singing voice and chanting rhyme are almost comparable to Hua Xiangrong.

It turned out that she had taken charge of herself and really formed a drama troupe.

Thinking of the drama that Xiao Hongyu sang just now, I was really emotional:

How can everything go smoothly in life, even if it is iron-clad wealth, how can it be destined to remain unchanged all his life?

is like the eldest brother Gu Qing, who changed from a commoner to a prince, and in an instant, from a prince to a prisoner, his life was in danger.

Gu Tingcheng's tears were dripping, his chest was turbulent, and his eyebrows were even more anxious.

Qin Shaoqing looked carefully in his eyes.

"Allure, your heart looks quite heavy?"

Qin Shaoqing looked at his brows with sorrow, but it was Gu Qingcheng who I still pity, and I was very worried.

Gu Qingcheng pulled out a mixed smile and followed him to the porridge shed on Xiangyang Street.

Allure asked Feihong Feiyan to tie up the horses and come in to eat peach blossom soup.

The proprietress of the porridge shed was a little surprised when she saw them.

More of a surprise.

warmly greeted them upstairs to the private room and served them peach blossom soup.

Feihong Feiyan found a location near the street downstairs and watched the horses while eating.

"Allure, you took the initiative to withdraw from the king of Nan'an that day," Qin Shaoqing asked very directly, "The person you like, but the king of Gaoyang?" ”

Gu Tingcheng looked at Qin Shaoqing, lowered his eyes slightly, did not deny or admit it, and only slowly chewed the peach blossom soup in his mouth.

"Are you worried about King Gaoyang, the war in the Southern Expedition?"

Qin Shaoqing asked again, frowning slightly.

Tuoba really didn't look at him for the past two days, thinking that the war was tight and he couldn't be busy.

She didn't bother him, she just silently prayed for his safety.

But at the moment, she really wasn't worried about Tuoba.

Gu Qingcheng sighed and shook his head: "I'm worried, I'm Rouran's eldest brother." ”

"Your eldest brother Gu Qing?" Qin Shaoqing looked surprised, "He is already Prince Rouran, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

The scene of Gu Qing collaborating with the enemy and treason between Gu Qingcheng and Tuoba that day made Liu Rushuang tell Gu Qing's life experience.

The news that Gu Qing is the prince of Rouran has long since spread and spread all over the Great Wei.

"Rouran mutinied, and his uncle Hu Lu slaughtered Xiu, and took advantage of the country's welcome to him, the new prince, and launched a mutiny.

After killing Da Tan Khan, my eldest brother also became a prisoner of Hu Lu Tuxiu, and now his life and death are uncertain. ”

Gu Tingcheng did not hide it.

In the end, he said gloomily: "So life is impermanent, and iron wealth is not destined." The drama is really good. ”

"It turns out that Allure is worried about this." Qin Shaoqing was stunned.

Then he was also worried:

"Under the nest, there are eggs. Besides, your eldest brother is the prince of Datan Khan, and since Hu Lu Tu Xiu usurped the throne, he is only afraid of ...... Cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Gu Tingcheng looked at the peach blossom soup in front of him, thinking that his eldest brother was imprisoned and tortured by Hu Lu Tuxiu, and he didn't know if he was still alive at this moment.

Tears couldn't help but come out of my eyes.

Dripping peach blossom soup.

She didn't know that the peach blossom soup that was originally added with the water of forgetfulness was washed away by her tears as clear as holy water.

Qin Shaoqing looked at Gu Qingcheng with pear blossoms and rain, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he muttered:

"My Hongmen is widely spread all over the world, and I can send more people to Rouran to understand the specific situation.

If you can save your eldest brother, of course, in the end, even if you can't save it, you will secretly protect him and try to ensure his safety. ”

Gu Tingcheng hurriedly wiped his tears:

"Really? Brother Qin, are you really willing to send someone to protect my eldest brother? ”

"Hmm." Qin Shaoqing nodded with great pity, and said with relief: "Don't worry, your eldest brother will definitely turn evil into good fortune." ”

Immediately, Gu Qingcheng shook his head worriedly:

"I heard from Your Majesty that now that Rouran has been sealed and all commerce and trade has been stopped, I am afraid that Brother Qin's people may not be able to enter Rouran."

"This, rest assured, ordinary people can't enter, I'm Hongmen, there will always be a way." Qin Shaoqing was relieved, "In short, I will make sure that your eldest brother's life is not in danger." ”

"Then ......" Gu Tingcheng burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you, Brother Qin!" ”

With such a smile, Qin Shaoqing wants to keep it forever!
