Gu Qianqiu looked at Sikong Yulong with a solemn face and said, "Don't worry too much, in fact, I had a premonition that things would develop like this from the beginning, and it was not beyond expectations." ”

Sikong Yulong nodded slightly with a soothing expression.

Gu Qianqiu casually picked up a page of the book on the table, flipped through it a few times, and said casually: "So you should also know how complicated things in this world are, every time there is an additional situation, there will be several possibilities, and one by one is superimposed, and it is by no means something that can be calculated by human beings." Therefore, most of the world's rumors are very empty, and for the real strategists, it is great to be able to remove unnecessary possibilities and minimize the risk of layout. ”

"For me Gu Qianqiu, of course, it's the same, how can everything be counted as dead, that's God's business. Besides, the enemy is not a fool, and I, an old man who is dying of old age, will definitely miss something. This incident is a good lesson, you are about to leave Xunyang, this time I will not follow, everything depends on yourself, you have to be more careful in your calculations, success or failure, it is your own business. ”

Sikong Yulong asked, "What about Xunyang?" Lu Weixian has already joined the gang, let him take care of everything here? ”

Gu Qianqiu bowed slightly, and said, "I'll keep an eye on it, Xunyang, you don't have to worry." Lu Wei is a talent first, in the past, he was willing to be a jade by himself, and I will carve it a little in the future. Besides, he didn't want to use Qilin Tower as a dojo? To give it to him, he doesn't want me to be disappointed, if you have a heart to move the world, how can you not stand in the highest place and treat all the beings under your feet as chess pieces? ”

Sikong Yulong sweated for Lu Weixian in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Sikong Yulong said, "Will Zhao Longcheng become a great obstacle for us in the future?" I don't know what you said to him, but Zhao Longcheng is by no means the kind of person who will follow his expectations step by step, his ambitions and ambitions are like a bottomless abyss, although he is harmless to humans and animals now, he will definitely bite back when he has the opportunity. Last time in Xiangyang Pass, he really wanted to leave our group of people who met for the first time there forever, but was stopped by the little monk. In Xunyang these days, it seems that he has become a nodding friend with us, although I don't think Zhao Longcheng's feelings are fake, but I still dare not assert whether Zhao Longcheng will one day become an absolutely rational monster, and finally meet with us. ”

Gu Qianqiu said: "Compared with Li Qinsheng and Ye Changlou, he is indeed the most unstable factor, but it is still the same sentence, if the general trend of the world is coercing a person forward, then no matter how big and ambitious he is, he can't exceed this highest tide." Zhao Longcheng is now in such a situation, so what he can leave behind in the end is either a comedy of grievances or a complete tragedy. Zhao Longcheng will definitely become an absolutely rational person one day, but even then he will not become a monster, but a taciturn madman, and finally die of depression. ”

Sikong Yulong was speechless for a while when he heard this.

Gu Qianqiu looked at the young man and asked, "Do you think such an ending is too cruel for Zhao Longcheng?" ”

Sikong Yulong shook his head and said, "No. ”

Gu Qianqiu said slowly: "That's it." You're still too soft-hearted, and as long as it's the people around you, you don't want to see them have a miserable future. It's a child's idea, it's so unrealistic. ”

Sikong Yulong felt his heart thump.

Gu Qianqiu exhaled a turbid breath and said, "However, who can say anything about the future?" After all, it is everyone's own choice. As I said before, maybe I'm really dizzy and can't see too many things clearly, and in the end everything is going in the direction of happiness for all. So Yulong, if you really don't plan to change, just work harder to hold on to the future. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head self-deprecatingly. He took off the wine gourd from his waist and shook it, and there was no wine.

Gu Qianqiu asked, "What about the Liaobei snow you promised me last time?" ”

Sikong Yulong's face was a little embarrassed.

Gu Qianqiu sighed and sat down in his chair, his expression dull and his eyes glazed.

The young man held his cheek with his hand and looked sideways at Gu Qianqiu, who was sitting opposite. The old man often had that posture when he didn't drink alcohol, but he rarely showed it in front of Sikong Yulong before. In addition, when he was downstairs before, Gu Qianqiu seemed to be getting older and older, he was lonely like a wild ghost who had been sitting for thousands of years, as if he had closed his eyes on a snowy mountain, and when he woke up again, he found that the snow-capped mountains around him had melted, and he was sitting on the edge of the sea, and several seabirds flew around him......

Sikong Yulong suddenly came back to his senses and stopped his hand stretched out in the air, he actually wanted to touch the old man's head in a trance just now?

Gu Qianqiu's eyes returned to clarity, and he began to clean up the table full of books, folded the books one by one, and put them back on the bookshelves around him. After a long time, the old man smiled and said, "By the way, you are not in Xunyang for the New Year this time, so I will write you a few pairs." ”

Sikong Yulong was confused, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Gu Qianqiu's gourd. Is this madness?

Gu Qianqiu didn't care about this, he continued.

"I remember that there is a blank pair on the fifth layer, I'll go get it, you give me ink first."

After speaking, without waiting for Sikong Yulong to reply, Gu Qianqiu ran downstairs.

————

The desert in the north, when they came from the south, the two of them went north with the same attitude, the only difference is that when they came, He Yongshan carried a big broadsword with a height of one person, and now it is Zhao Longcheng who carries it.

"Herb, did you already know about Gu Qianqiu?"

He Yongshan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Longcheng was not the slightest surprised, he combed through the beginning and end of this trip to Xunyang, only to find a hidden dark line, that is, this bureau was not only set up by Gu Qianqiu early, but also the secret cooperation of Dragon Emperor Zhao Kongyan and Jiao Qiannu, that is to say, He Yongshan who came with him was not only his personal guard, but also had another great task.

When he was attacked in Xunyang City last night, He Yongshan, as a guard, did not appear once, this is a very unreasonable phenomenon, and after Zhao Longcheng saw Gu Qianqiu, he carefully combed through everyone's words and clues after coming to Xunyang, and finally found that this time he turned out to be a bright chess on the table, but He Yongshan was a dark chess.

He Yongshan hurriedly said: "It was Your Majesty who told me, He Yongshan is only loyal to His Majesty and Gongzi all his life, and has no two hearts. At that time, the moment Shifang Jucheng appeared, I should have rushed back, but His Majesty once told me that if I heard Gu Qianqiu's name, I didn't have to worry about superfluous things, and the old slave didn't appear by your side at that time. ”

Zhao Longcheng looked at He Yongshan, who hugged his fists and apologized, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Heber, don't I blame you?" I just want to make sure of something, otherwise, it will be too easy to die if I am blind in this northern desert. ”

He pressed He Yongshan's fist, and then said, "So these are all Zhao Kongyan and Jiao Qian's angry ideas, including all my encounters in Xunyang City, they have long expected it?" ”

He Yongshan had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

Zhao Longcheng sighed lightly and said, "Sure enough, I have always felt that I am quite shrewd." ”

He Yongshan was speechless, so he had to walk silently behind Zhao Longcheng.

Zhao Longcheng suddenly turned his head and said: "When I was in Xunyang, Sikong Yulong told me that the little monk we saw in Xiangyang Pass last time had already come to the Northern Desert, and according to his foot strength, he should have just passed by Hushu Town. This little monk is not simple, to pick me up again towards the withered branches and leaves, the first thing to do is to travel all over the desert, spend all the lonely souls and wild ghosts all over the place, chant all the way, sow seeds all the way, and wait until he walks to the West Court that day, when the hearts of the entire Northern Desert people will return, it is really possible to do this feat for him. ”

He Yongshan lowered his head and listened.

Zhao Longcheng continued: "Then let's separate when we get to Tiger Whisker Town later. Herb, how about you keep an eye on that little monk? ”

He Yongshan suddenly raised his head, "Childe, this is ...... I don't mean anything other than where are you going? ”

Zhao Longcheng smiled and said, "Of course it's back to Xiting." ”

"There are many political enemies in Xiting, and you have already carried this ritual knife again......"

"Don't worry, Herb."

Zhao Longcheng was still smiling, "It's not like Zhao Kongyan was put in the ring as soon as he went back, and he fought to the death with others." Besides, I have seen a lot on this trip to Xunyang, so I have to find a quiet place to digest it, and then think about the way out of our Beimo in the future. So, that little monk I don't have time to take care of is to ask you, I'm looking forward to the scene when you come to the West Court with him. ”

Looking at Zhao Longcheng's smiling appearance, He Yongshan suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was different from when he came, and now he was like a bottomless pool.

Upstairs in the Qilin, Gu Qianqiu gently dried the ink on the couplet spread out on the table, and nodded with satisfaction.

He hasn't written a pair for a long time, but the hand-shattering line is still not unfamiliar, and the ink of Sikong Yulongyan is a treasure that is not easy to find - Hui ink. Taken together, the value of these pairs can be imagined.

Sikong Yulong carefully spread a few freshly written pairs on the ground on the side to dry, looking at the words written by Gu Qianqiu, full of emotion and amazement.

He turned around, and without waiting for him to speak, Gu Qianqiu said: "Okay, I should also go, and finally say one thing, tomorrow at noon, you will go to the South City Gate to meet someone." ”

"Who is it?"

"You'll know then, I'm too lazy to say."

Gu Qianqiu turned around and went downstairs and remembered a sentence.

If there is no Son of Heaven who has been brought to power, then the world is full of people vying for hegemony.
