In the past three days that Shangguan Xiu has taken care of carefully, Gu Qingling has made a great improvement, although his body is still thin and weak, but compared with three days ago, his face has at least recovered a little redness. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On this day, in the morning, Shangguan Xiu was having breakfast with Gu Qingling, and saw Zhao Chen looking inside with his head outside the door. Shangguan Xiu stroked Gu Qingling's jade back and said softly, "Qingling, you eat first, I'll go out." ”

Seeing Gu Qingling nodding, Shangguan Xiu got up, walked out of the room, and when he got to the door, he turned back and smiled at Gu Qingling, and then walked quickly upstairs. When he arrived upstairs, he asked without looking back, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Xiu, I just received a report from Zhenjun that General Guangfang led 20,000 soldiers and suddenly attacked the Geji tribe in the east of Shah, and the Geji tribe has united with a total of six tribes, including the Na tribe, the Pulan tribe, and the Shalin tribe, to form a coalition army of nearly 200,000, and the general Yu Guanglin near Xibu Mountain started a confrontation, and it seems that the war is about to break out. Zhao Chen said in a low voice.

"Only the six tribes in the east of Shah can form a coalition of 200,000 troops? Behind them, there are Ningnan people secretly supporting them!" Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Whether the Ningnan people are involved or not has not yet been investigated, but the Na tribe Pransalin is a big tribe in the east of Shah, and each tribe has no more than 100,000 people, if these three tribes have done their best to form a coalition army of 200,000, it is not impossible. "Kneel and beg for a hundred blacks!

Shangguan Xiu nodded and asked, "How many brothers are there over there?"

"Full of 20,000 people, Huya Pass and 30,000 defenders, together they can make up 50,000 people. When Zhao Chen spoke, he peeked at Shangguan Xiu. With 50,000 against 200,000, even if the opponent is not good at fighting clan wars, this battle is not easy to fight.

"How about sending reinforcements from Xijing?"

"Xijing's troops can't move. ”

"Why?"

"First of all, the imperial court successively sent three county lieutenants to Zhenjun, but they were all dead, and the imperial court was extremely dissatisfied with this matter. ”

Listening to Zhao Chen's analysis, Shangguan Xiu secretly said that it was reasonable. Zhao Chen continued: "In addition, there is a large rebel army in Huan County in the north that is moving towards our county, I don't know what the intention is, once the strength of our county is empty, if this rebel army suddenly kills in, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"The rebels of Huan County?"

"It's the Lin Yongbu rebels of Huan County. With more than 100,000 troops, it is also one of the largest rebels in Huan County. However, Lin Yongbu's rebels were originally in the north of Huan County, but now they are suddenly moving south, and I don't know if they are coming towards my Zhen County. Zhao Chen said worriedly.

"What an eventful season!" Shangguan Xiu sighed softly. Although Zhenjun is located in a corner, it has never been peaceful, there is Shahening in the west, there is the imperial court in the east, and now the rebels are rampant in the north.

He said, "Okay, I got it." ”

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu's face was not good, Zhao Chen didn't dare to disturb any more, and Shi Li retired. After Zhao Chen left, Shangguan Xiu returned to the second floor, walked to Gu Qingling's side, and saw that she was sitting there in a daze, and there was still half a bowl of porridge left in the bowl, he asked, "Qingling, why don't you eat, are you full?"

"Ah Xiu, you ...... Are you going back to Zhenjun?" Gu Qingling turned his head and looked at Shangguan Xiu, with a sad look on his face.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, sat down beside her, grabbed her Roujing, and said softly: "Zhenjun is busy with affairs, I can't stay in Yuzhen for a long time, Qingling, come with me!" He had mentioned the matter of taking her back to Zhenjun with Gu Qingling before, but Gu Qingling did not agree.

This time, Gu Qingling still shook his head and said softly, "I'm not leaving." ”

Shangguan Xiu frowned, if Qingling didn't leave, how could he rest assured that he would leave her alone in Yuzhen. He said: "There is nothing left here to be nostalgic for, why do you insist on staying?"

"Because, here are my roots, just as your roots are in Jeong-gun. Ah Xiu, don't force me to go to Zhenjun with you anymore, I don't want to go, I can't go, there is not only my home here, but also my unshirkable responsibility. Now I'm the only one left, and I have to learn to be strong, no matter how big the difficulties are, I have to be strong. ”

Her words made Shangguan Xiu feel sad, he consciously clenched her hand, and said quietly: "You are not alone, you still have me." Come with me, I can take care of you and take care of you for the rest of your life. As he spoke, he pulled Gu Qingling into his arms, and said, "Qingling, let's get married!"

Gu Qingling lay in Shangguan Xiu's arms, raised her head, and looked at him blankly, after a long time, her mood gradually calmed down, and said softly: "Ah Xiu, we have all grown up, we can no longer act impulsively......"

"I don't have impulses, I don't have a calmer time than now, let's get married!" Seeing Gu Qingling's eyes flashing with pain as he looked at him, Shangguan Xiu suddenly remembered that Qingling's family had just been killed, and it was indeed inappropriate to mention marriage now. He changed his words and added, "At least, we can get engaged." ”

"Even if I get engaged, I won't go back to Zhenjun with you. What's more, engagement is also a luxury for the two of them.

"Why? Why do you hate going to Jeong-gun so much? I can take care of you, whatever you want, I can give you ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Gu Qingling raised his hand, pressed his lips, and said, "Your home, your roots, everything you have, are all in Zhenjun, can you abandon all of them, stay in Yuzhen, and accompany me?"

"I ......"

"You can't, you can't do it, Ah Xiu, why would you want something that even you can't do, but I can?" Gu Qingling's face revealed a maturity beyond her age, and the drastic changes in her family made her change from a girl to a woman overnight.

Shangguan Xiu was silent, and he was speechless for a while in response to Gu Qingling's rhetorical question. Gu Qingling slowly stood up, walked to the windowsill, looked at the scenery outside the window, and muttered, "Ah Xiu, please give me some time, I want to stay in Yuzhen and support the family's business." ”

How long is that, a year or two years, or five years or ten years? Shangguan Xiu walked behind Gu Qingling, took her into his arms again, and said, "There are some responsibilities that should be faced and borne by men. I...... I can't bear to see you working so hard. ”

Don't you understand?

His words made Gu Qingling's heart hot, and a layer of mist unconsciously appeared in his eyes. She swallowed the tears in her eyes, a smile appeared on her face, she turned around, and said in a brisk tone: "Ah Xiu, I want to eat candied fruit." ”

Alas! Looking at her forced smile, Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, knowing that Qing Ling was unwilling to continue to talk about this matter, he deliberately diverted the topic, he nodded, and followed her words and said, "I'll buy it." After speaking, he pecked Gu Qingling's pink cheeks again, and said with a smile: "Wait for me." ”

Seeing Shangguan Xiu leave, the smile on Gu Qingling's face disappeared, she walked to the bed and pulled out a letter from the bottom of the futon.

It was a handwritten letter written by Tang Ling to her, the content of which was only a few numbers, but it had clearly explained the relationship between Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun, and also explained to her bluntly that she would marry the two of them.

Gu Qingling held the letter with trembling little hands, leaned against the bedpost, slowly slid to the ground, and couldn't help it anymore, lying on the futon and crying loudly.

Taixue Pavilion is still some distance away from the downtown area, and when Shangguan Xiu came out, he deliberately left Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei to let the two of them take care of Gu Qingling.

He came alone to the bazaar and looked around for a stall selling preserves. After watching for a while, Shangguan Xiu walked forward, and before he walked out, he came to a small vendor, looked down at the various candied fruits placed on it, and said, "A bag of everything." ”

It is rare for a big customer to come to the door, and the small vendors are so happy that they can't close their mouths, and they are excited to wrap candied fruit for Shangguan Xiu. At this moment, another group of young people in their twenties walked over, and one of them came to the small vendor, took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, slapped it on the stall with a snap, and then stretched out his hand.

The vendor seemed to have been accustomed to this, and knew what he wanted, so he took out twenty copper plates from the cash box and put them into the young man's hand with a smile on his face.

Do you charge protection money? Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows. The young man turned around and was just about to leave, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of more than a dozen packs of candied fruit placed in front of Shangguan Xiu, and the vendor was still packing for him, obviously the son of a rich family.

The corners of the young man's mouth raised, he snorted, took out another piece of yellow paper from his arms, stuffed it into Shangguan Xiu's chest, and then stretched out his hand in front of him.

Well, the protection money has been received on my head. Shangguan Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, he picked up the yellow paper that the other party stuffed into his arms, looked down, and his face couldn't help but change.

I saw eight big characters written in red ink on the yellow paper: If the goddess does not die, the country of wind will perish!

Where is this collecting protection money, but the rebellious rhetoric of the party advocating rebellion in broad daylight. Shangguan Xiu didn't think about it, he tore the yellow paper to shreds, and then fell directly on the other party's face.

This shocked not only the group of young people, but even the surrounding vendors were stunned.

This is the huge influence that Wei Chiyao had on the people after he rebelled in Beijing.

Before Wei Chiyao rebelled, the people's anti-court activities were only carried out in secret, and they were secret deeds that could not be seen, but after Wei Chiyao's rebellion, the spearhead of the anti-court directly turned to the anti-Tang Ling, and it was not secretly opposed, it was openly opposed, and people almost stood on the streets, shouting the slogan of killing the monarch.

In Zhenjun, this phenomenon is not common, and for a long time, the imperial court is reluctant to govern Zhenjun, and Zhenjun does not pay much attention to the imperial court, but outside Zhenjun, this phenomenon has shown a trend of full flowering. Even Angun, which is the closest to Shangjing, is still like this, and the other counties can be imagined.
