Chapter Seventy-One: Crying and Mourning
In March in western Liaoning, the wilderness is still covered with light snow, and the black stones are exposed outside, with a single tone, which does not match the March scenery in Gongsun Yan's impression.
After leaving Xiangguan and walking for three days, it was not until today that Gongsun Yan finally saw traces of human activity on the side of the road.
In the distance, villages loom on the ridge.
There are also some large dock forts.
In times of war, the Li Shu in the countryside will huddle together to keep warm, and spontaneously live together as a clan.
Build a high-walled watchtower, and spontaneously live and produce in the dock fort.
There is a very complete living space in the dock fort, which is almost a small castle.
The high and thick rammed earth city wall, the four corners of the construction of high arrow towers and watchtowers, this kind of northland grassroots armed forces can be said to be full of martial virtue.
Gongsun Yan also saw people moving on the watchtower, as if he saw their long line from afar, causing a commotion.
Several people climbed the watchtower and looked at their procession.
The distance was too far for Gongsun Yan to see what they were looking at or saying, but it didn't prevent her from looking back at the car window with interest.
The so-called you look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people who look at the scenery look at you on the bridge.
In this era, the means of entertainment are really scarce, and civilians are very keen to watch the excitement.
The man in the dock fort pointed to the snake-like procession in the distance, guessing why and where such a movement of hundreds of cavalry came from.
Gongsun Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, was also watching them.
Her eyes widened in curiosity, taking a closer look at the dusty rammed-earth castles.
She once saw the small pottery building of the Han Dynasty Wubao treasured in the museum, and at this time, such a scale-up real thing appeared in front of her, and she was in a trance and sighed for a while.
It was as if she saw the traces of time flowing in front of her eyes.
Zhao Yun, who was accompanying him next to the car, noticed Gongsun Yan's expression, and he also glanced at the dock fort from afar.
It doesn't seem to be anything special, why do you have to show such a look.
Before he could think about it, Gongsun Yan's gaze had already shifted to him.
The same is a bit of a trance, emotional, but something more.
Zhao Yun coughed lightly and didn't start unnaturally.
Xia Houlan once complained to him that Gongsun Niangzi's personality was wrong and a little bad.
He used to only think it was Zixiu's exaggeration.
Only now do I feel the bad of this lady.
Ever since the last time he had fled, she seemed to have found some pleasure in it, and from time to time she had stared at him with those beautiful eyes, and the look that seemed to be smiling always made him embarrassed.
Just like now, those pale amber eyes seemed to be full of honey, and when I looked at him, it was as if I ......
Zhao Yun's heart jumped, slowed down the horse, and fell behind the merger, avoiding Gongsun Yan's eyes.
"Tsk." Gongsun Yan, who was in the car, didn't seem to find out the trouble he had caused.
There was no longer Zhao Yun's upright posture and Shen Yi's angular side face in her line of sight, and she flicked her tongue lightly in dissatisfaction.
Ran away again!
This scene fell into the eyes of Ah Qing and Ah Ran, the maids who were riding together in the car.
Ah Qing looked ignorant, didn't react much, and continued to turn around and play with Gongsun Cheng to flip the flower rope.
She is not very old, she has a simple temperament, and she is very willing to please her, so she can play with Gongsun Cheng as a playmate.
Alain bowed his head and chuckled silently.
"Why is Alain laughing?"
Alan is slightly older than Ah Qingji, more docile and sensible, but in the eyes of Gongsun Yan, he is only the age of a high school student.
After a few days of getting along, Gongsun Yan has gotten along very well with the two maids, and they have become much more casual with each other.
Especially after leaving Gongsun Da's house and getting out of the guest state, she doesn't need to abide by too many rules, and her words and deeds are even more relaxed and casual.
"Nothing." Alain hung his head and refused to answer, but he still had an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Just when Gongsun Yan was about to ask a few words and laugh.
Zhao Yun, who had just run away, returned to the car window.
"Lady, Brother Gongsun General, Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Ying is in front to greet you." At this time, he had recovered his usual expression and voice, and there was no embarrassment as if he had just run away.
Gongsun Ying......
The relaxed smile on Gongsun Yan's face faded unconsciously, judging from the clues of the current president, if her grandfather Gongsun Jing may not be a good person, then her uncle is a sure villain.
She sighed helplessly and looked at Zhao Yun.
Otherwise, ask Zilong to secretly shoot to death, and save yourself from having to cheat with these strange relatives.
Seeing her look at her with a worried face, although he didn't hear what she was thinking, Zhao Yun still saw her impatience.
Zhao Yun is also helpless in this regard, it is always the family affairs and elders of the Gongsun family.
He knew that no matter how impatient Gongsun Yan was, he wouldn't really tear his face with the family at such a moment, he was just playing petty.
"Gongsun Taishou went out of the city thirty miles to greet him, and his posture was quite low, so it was better for the lady to go as soon as possible."
What about the low posture, can it compensate for the hundreds of lives in Yangqiu, or can it bring back the forty-one soldiers who died on the battlefield?
Can such a blood debt be repaid with a low profile?
Gongsun Yan pursed his lips and said nothing, his expression dark.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun had no choice but to lower his voice and said to her: "Lady, don't think about it for the time being, I will accompany you in the end, okay?" ”
After taking a breath, Gongsun Yan only felt like he had swallowed a cockroach raw, not only could he not spit it out, but he had to shut up and swallow it.
But fortunately, she is not a real little lady, and when it is time to grit her teeth and endure it, she can still endure it.
After doing some psychological construction for herself, she instructed Alan Aqing to bring the bronze mirror makeup she carried with the car, freshen her up a little, and tidy up her appearance.
also gave Gongsun Chenghuan a small jacket with a layer of linen sewn on the outside.
During this time, Gongsun Yan's car had already walked to the barrier where Gongsun Ying was waiting.
"Sorry for my brother, sorry for my brother, sad for the pain."
Gongsun Yan sat in the parallel car and rubbed the corners of her eyes, and Alan had just lifted the curtain of the merging car, and she heard a burst of crying and mourning.
Gongsun Yan paused, looking at the team in front of him who was all dressed in linen and filial piety, and the middle-aged man in front of him who cried until he beat his chest and couldn't help himself, the look on his face was almost momentarily unbearable.
Zhao Yun, who was walking on the side, turned over and dismounted, and followed on foot.
Seeing her pause, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he asked someone to fetch a small stool to get out of the car, and raised his hand so that she could get down by his arm.
Gongsun Yan's palms tightened into fists under his sleeves and clenched his teeth.
To others, Yangqiuli may be just a place name, but for Gongsun Yan, Yangqiuli has a different meaning.
For the first time, she felt a connection to the world.
But they were slaughtered and ruined like that.
People in this era have become numb to death and loss, but she is not, she really cries for every victim.
Abduna is indeed the direct murderer, but everyone who indulges him is not.
