Chapter 30: Why don't you go home and see?
Under the fierce offensive of Xiang Ju'an's army, the lone army in the main city was quickly defeated, some people took advantage of the chaos to evacuate, some people could not escape, and they were still trying to desperately resist the battle of the trapped beasts.
Jiang Yingnian held the bow tightly, his knuckles were already white, he looked at the departing Qu Mo Qu Yin brothers and sisters, took a deep breath, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”
He didn't hesitate any longer, this time he raised the longbow in his hand, pulled the string with the arrow, aimed and released the arrow, and the movement of his hand was done in one go.
With his unwavering hatred, the arrow from the string stabbed steadily into the back of the desert.
Guan Jiyu witnessed with his own eyes how the arrow flew out of Jiang Yingnian's hand, and it rushed towards Qu Mo at a rapid speed, and finally shot him through his heart from behind.
She didn't dare to blink her eyes during the whole process.
All the sounds in her ears seemed to disappear, Guan Jiyu also saw Qu Yin who was running away with her brother, because of this sudden arrow, she stopped, looked at her brother with a mouthful of blood in a daze, and then slowly turned her head and looked at Jiang Yingnian incredulously.
The bow held high in Jiang Yingnian's hand didn't even have time to put down, but his eyes were so firm, fearless, and there was no trace of shame.
Guan Jiyu stared at all this blankly.
A very strange thought flashed through her mind: Qu Yin must be desperate at this moment, right? Obviously Qu Yin tried her best to pull her brother like that, trying to escape from this place that had been reduced to hell, she obviously saw that Jiang Yingnian had put down the weapon in her hand, but why, gave her hope, and brought her despair?
Guan Jiyu felt a chill on her face, and she stretched out her hand to wipe it.
It was tears, the last time she shed tears, it was when the eldest prince had just died.
This world is sometimes very cruel, just like she watched Jiang Qing fall to the ground, but she didn't even have a chance to pull him.
Who is worse? Is it Qu Yin, or is it herself?
Guan Jiyu didn't know. She thought that when the moment Qu Mo died, she would be ecstatic, and she would be eager to shout to everyone: Finally revenge! But when she really saw Qu Yin's confused expression, she suddenly realized that this world was really cruel.
Guan Jiyu saw Jiang Yingnian slowly put down the bow in his hand, he intended to kill Qu Mo, and he had no intention of making a move on Qu Yin again.
"Why?" Qu Yin didn't seem to come back to her senses yet, she squatted down, her hands tightly covering Qu Mo's wounds, as if that way he wouldn't bleed.
She covered it until she suddenly realized the location of her brother's wound, which was in the heart.
Qu Mo moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything, so he swallowed his breath.
"Why? Jiang Yingnian! Qu Yin cried out loud, she was like a deceived child, crying out of breath. Her hand was still tightly gripping Qu Mo's hand, which was covered with blood, and she was willing not to let go.
Guan Jiyu stopped looking at the scene in front of him.
After a long time, Jiang Yingnian just said softly: "I never wanted any Yanjiang promenade, it was a matter in the army, I just wanted to go back to my eldest brother from beginning to end." ”
He lowered his eyes, but he still said frankly: "Qu Yin, I won't kill you, but I can't just let go of your brother, his life can only stay here." ”
Xiang Ju'an led all the soldiers all the way into the center of the main city, originally this city carried all the troops of the lonely puff, but at this moment, except for the lone puff soldiers who were lying on the ground and had died, there was no one to see any of them.
Seeing that Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian had already slashed the leader of Gu Fei, Xiang Ju'an got off his horse and walked to Qu Mo, who had already swallowed his breath, but he was silent.
His expression didn't show much joy, just a long sigh of relief.
Some people have a wonderful life, and some people have a dull life.
Xiang Ju'an has always considered himself the latter.
When he was just in the year of the weak crown, he came to the border of the north to defend it, and he guarded it for more than ten years. All his youthful years were spent in the confrontation between the border pass and the Lone Country, witnessing the change of two generations of leaders of the Lone Country, and also experiencing the rule of two generations of kings in his own country.
Everything has changed over the years, but his situation has not changed. As the saying goes, "once a son of heaven is a courtier", but Xiang Ju'an seems to be able to stay here forever, he is still him, his body is imprisoned here, and his soul is imprisoned.
The lonely phong is still still the lone phong army, they harass unscrupulously, how many times Xiang Ju'an is thinking, so he simply goes out and directly attacks the lone phong country! But due to the obstruction of the power in the middle of the Xu Li Dynasty, he could only swallow this breath raw.
When this moment came, Xiang Ju'an himself couldn't believe that it would be so soon, he even walked in front of Qu Mo's corpse and carefully verified it.
Confirming that Qu Mo was dead, Xiang Ju'an did not hide the joy in his heart, and the corners of his lips raised wantonly.
This is the era that belongs to Xiang Ju'an!
When everyone returned to Zeyun Pass, Chen Zhang had prepared a celebration banquet and waited at the door, and after receiving them, Chen Zhang couldn't suppress the ecstasy on his face!
"General, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I am looking forward to returning!"
Xiang Ju'an smiled heroically as he walked inside, and said, "Reward the three armies tonight, don't get drunk and don't return!" ”
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian's seats were next to each other, and while everyone was drinking noisily, she leaned over to him and said, "The general said that he would return to the court tomorrow, and he asked a few of us to go too." ”
Jiang Yingnian took the wine glass and drank it all, and naturally continued: "Go and go." ”
Helan Yan heard their conversation on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "To go to the saint is to accept the reward, and if you want to be rewarded, be positive." He stretched lazily and said, "Anyway, I don't want gold, silver and jade or anything like that, but if I am rewarded with some beautiful women or something, I can gladly accept it." ”
"I've grown so big, I've never been to the capital except for the competition, and I've never played seriously in the capital once!" Guan Jiyu held his cheeks and knocked on the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes were full of yearning for the capital.
Zhe Shu, who was sitting in the back, also shouted: "That's it, I used to go to the capital with the eldest prince, where did I dare to run around and look around." ”
Jiang Yingnian didn't care, and said: "I have studied in the capital for several years, and I don't feel that there is anything fun. It's not as good as Nanqin, and the things are not as delicious as Nanqin! ”
Helan Yan is an authentic person from the capital, and he doesn't judge whether the capital is good or bad, but just said leisurely: "If you want to play in the capital for a few days, you can go to my Helan Mansion to live for a few days, but there is that old man at home, I advise you not to go." I'm planning to buy a house on the outskirts of Beijing and hide in the open. ”
"The house in the capital must not be cheap, right?! How much silver does that cost......" Guan Jiyu couldn't help but marvel when he heard that Helan was going to buy a new house.
She remembered a person whose house was also in the capital.
He said that it was because of his military exploits, which Emperor Shu rewarded him.
Jiang Yingnian looked at her longing look, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you ask for?" Do you also want to buy a house in Beijing? ”
"What do you care about me?!" Guan Jiyu hurriedly withdrew his expression, glared at him vigilantly, and said, "You can't control me now, I can buy a house wherever I want, it has nothing to do with you." ”
"I don't mean to care about you, I just want to remind you kindly-" Jiang Yingnian threw a peanut into his mouth and said, "Is the house in the capital something you can buy if you want to?" You might as well ask Brother Helan about the price of land in the capital, he knows best. ”
When Helan heard this, he became interested.
"Oh? Guan Xiaomei plans to buy a house in the capital, so it's better for us to be neighbors together. ”
Guan Jiyu really didn't have much money in his pocket, and he didn't have the confidence to continue this topic with Helan Yan at the moment, so he had to deny it: "No, it's just a casual question." ”
Jiang Yingnian saw her embarrassment, the smile in her eyes became more obvious, and teased: "Oh, if you really want to buy it, then buy it." What you want, can we still say that Jiangfu can't afford it? ”
He leaned into Guan Jiyu's ear and whispered: "The third son's money is the best to earn, it's better for you to follow me, it's okay to do chores for me, the third prince guarantees that you can easily win a set of mansions in the capital!" ”
Guan Jiyu glanced at him and said coldly: "It's not necessary!" ”
The next day, Xiang Ju'an's team rushed to the capital, and when they passed by the Beixin camp, Guan Jiyu asked to know that Xiang Lincheng was no longer here.
He had already returned to his lodgings in the capital.
Guan Jiyu's heart was inexplicably filled with a trace of warmth, and the mood to go back all the way was also excellent.
The people who returned to the dynasty to receive rewards, except for Xiang Ju'an, who wore court clothes, the others were newcomers who had just entered the military camp, and Guan Jiyu wore back the cyan competition uniform when he was in the Qingzi camp.
This time, Xiang Ju'an mainly reported the situation at the border pass and the details of the war, Jiang Yingnian listened absent-mindedly, and Helan Yan also looked unaccustomed to this kind of occasion, Guan Jiyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two of them, and couldn't help but chuckle, until she saw Emperor Shu's gaze fall on herself, she quickly put away her smile.
"Guan Xianxian, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, I have long heard that the training camp of the Nanqin family is full of masters, and today's sight really makes Lone's eyes shine." Emperor Shu was full of interest, and his words of praise were endless: "There is also Jiang Xianxian, who has such courage at such a young age, and the future of the two of them is limitless!" ”
Praising Helan Yan is just those words, Helan Yan just wants to yawn when he hears it, and he doesn't even bother to look at the silver and jade rewarded.
Guan Jiyu looked at Helan Yan's unmoved appearance of money, and said secretly in his heart: If he is really a child of a rich family, this can't move him? It might as well be as happy as he said, to give him a few beautiful women!
finally managed to get to the end of the palace banquet, Helan Yan couldn't wait to slip away, he even threw his share of the reward to Guan Jiyu, and said kindly: "Guan Xiaomei, this is my heart for you to buy a house, we will talk about it later, I still have to take a step in advance!" ”
Guan Jiyu was stupid and continued, before he could react, he had already run away.
Jiang Yingnian sneered: "During this time in the army, it can be regarded as suffocating him!" He said to Guan Jiyu again: "What about you, where are you going?" I know you're free now, and I don't have the right to care about you anymore. ”
There was only sincerity in his eyes, with a rare seriousness, and he said: "It's just that the New Year is approaching, why don't you go home and take a look together?" ”
