Chapter Seventy-Three: Whose Vengeance Do You Want?
Gu Tingyu sighed and patted Leng Shuang's shoulder: "Silly girl, am I not here? Don't be afraid, let's find a place to rest first."
Gu Tingyu said as he took Leng Shuang's hand and walked forward.
Leng Shuang wiped the tears on his face and followed Gu Tingyu's side: "Don't you blame me?"
Gu Tingyu paused, smiled and rubbed Leng Shuang's head: "We are all a family, why do you blame you, you just want to help me."
"But......" Cold Cream's eyes turned red.
In fact, she not only wanted to help, but also wanted to be by his side, but he always kept her away.
"Brother Ayu, don't worry, I will never destroy you and Miss Liu," Leng Shuang said seriously, "I will stay in the Western Frontier obediently and not cause you trouble."
Gu Tingyu didn't speak again, he knew that since the cold cream had already been decided, it would not change.
"Let's go."
"Hmm."
Leng Shuang nodded, and followed Gu Tingyu to the town in front of him.
The town is not big, but it is also prosperous, and as soon as the shopkeeper of the inn saw Gu Tingyu, he immediately greeted him warmly: "This boss, what do you need?"
Gu Tingyu glanced at the shopkeeper lightly: "Is there any wine?" I want the strongest wine."
"Yo, where are you from the countryside to drink such strong wine," the shopkeeper shook his head, "Young people nowadays, one race can be tossed one by one, I advise you to go back quickly."
As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, suddenly, a strong wind hit him.
The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly dodged: "Hey, how do you beat people?!"
"If you talk again, I'll kill you!" Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes.
The shopkeeper trembled, staring at Gu Tingyu with wide eyes in horror: "A good man spares his life......
Gu Tingyu ignored him, walked straight into the store, picked up the wine jug on the table, and poured half a glass of wine with his head up.
"You're crazy!" A female voice suddenly came from the side, and Gu Tingyu turned his head to look.
I saw a woman dressed in white, standing in front of a stone tablet.
The stele was erected before they left, and it read:
- I, Gu Tingyu, fought with the enemy army for the sake of the people of Beirong, and although I was seriously wounded, I still resisted desperately, and finally repelled the enemy army.
Cold Frost stood beside the woman, tears in her eyes.
She looked at the stone tablet, as if she saw Gu Tingyu's heroic appearance.
In this battle, he led an army of 50,000 people, killed thousands, and captured one of the opposing generals.
This general's name is Zhao Wu, and he is the commander of the Western Xinjiang Guard Army, and the enemy army attacking the Western Xinjiang this time is led by Zhao Wu.
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and muttered, "Brother Ayu......
Gu Tingyu turned his head, glanced at Leng Shuang with a complicated gaze, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
"Oh." Leng Shuang kept up with Gu Tingyu's footsteps, and the two walked forward side by side, and no one spoke again.
Leng Shuang looked at the surrounding scenery and asked, "How far is it from the capital?"
Gu Tingyu said, "There are more than 4,000 miles to go."
More than 4,000 miles, if you take a carriage, it will take about a day and a night.
"Shall we leave tomorrow morning?" Cold Frost asked again.
Gu Tingyu nodded: "Okay," After finishing speaking, he muttered for a moment, "If you are afraid, stay in the cave, and I will go back to the capital alone."
Cold Frost bit her lip and shook her head firmly, "I want to follow you."
Gu Tingyu looked at the cold frost: "I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
The gap between the two of them was too great, and he was afraid that he would not be able to protect her.
Leng Shuang shook her head: "Brother Ayu, I have grown up, and I don't need to be taken care of anymore."
Gu Tingyu smiled bitterly: "Fool, you will always be my sister."
"Brother Ayu......
"Let's go, let's take a break."
Gu Tingyu took Cold Frost and lived in a simple thatched house, this thatched house was still built in the mountains before, if it weren't for this thatched house, maybe they would have been buried in the wolf's belly a long time ago.
"Brother Ayu, why don't we go home?" Leng Shuang lay on Gu Tingyu's chest and asked sullenly.
Gu Tingyu touched her soft hair, and said softly: "My mother is sick in bed, and she is the only one left in the family, I can't abandon her."
"Then why did you come to Xiling Kingdom to fight?" Leng Shuang raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu suspiciously: "Didn't you say that your father and mother were very good to you?"
Gu Tingyu lowered his eyes slightly: "I'm not here to fight."
"So for what?" Cold Frost was even more confused, "Do you want to build your own power?"
Gu Tingyu said indifferently: "Maybe, I want to take root here, I want revenge."
Cold Frost was stunned for a moment: "You want revenge?"
Gu Tingyu took a sip of wine and did not speak.
Leng Shuang continued to ask, "Whose revenge do you want to take revenge?"
Gu Tingyu glanced at her: "You don't need to know about this matter, and I don't want you to get involved, it's too dangerous here."
Cold Frost pouted: "I'm not afraid of danger, I'm willing to follow you, even if you encounter danger, I can deal with danger with you."
Gu Tingyu stared at the cold frost in distraction, and after a long time, he retracted his gaze: "I will arrange this matter, so don't mix it."
"I don't want it!" Leng Shuang said stubbornly, "Anyway, I'm back with you, and you promised to marry me, so don't think about getting rid of me."
Gu Tingyu sighed helplessly: "Okay."
Cold Frost was happy at this time: "This is good."
Gu Tingyu looked at the bright smile on her face and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.
The two had dinner in the room, and after washing up with cold cream, they fell asleep on the bed.
Gu Tingyu quietly stared at the cold frost, and her sleeping appearance was particularly cute.
She was fair-skinned, with beautiful features, and her black hair was scattered on the pillow.
"Leng Shuang, what kind of girl are you," Gu Tingyu asked in a low voice, "How many secrets are you hiding from me?"
He had never seen a girl as smart and kind as Cold Frost, but she always gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Gu Tingyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Leng Shuang, remember, no matter what you want to do, I will support you, even if it is against morality and ethics, I will help you achieve it, but I hope you can understand that I just treat you as my sister."
There was a faint thought in his heart, he wanted to find out, who was Cold Frost, and why did she always give him a sense of familiarity?
"Brother Ayu......" Cold Frost rolled over and muttered, "Go to sleep."
Gu Tingyu didn't speak again, he took off his coat and lay down on Leng Shuang's side.
Leng Shuang noticed Gu Tingyu's movements, opened his eyes, and asked with worry in his misty eyes, "Brother Ayu, where are you going?"
Gu Tingyu said lightly, "I'll go around to see if there are any pheasants or rabbits, and when it's dawn, I'll roast them for you."
When Leng Shuang heard this, his eyes rolled and he asked with a smile, "Really?"
Gu Tingyu rubbed her head: "If you are hungry, you can eat something to cushion your stomach first."
"Hmm!" Leng Shuang nodded obediently, hugged Gu Tingyu's arm, leaned on his arms, and said sweetly, "Brother Ayu, you are so good to me."
Gu Tingyu didn't respond, just hugged Cold Frost and hugged her tighter.
In the early morning of the next day, when Gu Tingyu woke up, Leng Shuang also woke up.
Gu Tingyu looked at the sky and frowned, "It's time for us to leave, it's still early, take advantage of the dawn to rush back to the capital first, so as not to delay tomorrow's trip."
Gu Tingyu's personality is more impatient, and it was really hard to travel last night, so he is not ready to travel at night anymore.
Leng Shuang heard him say this, and his face suddenly collapsed.
For the whole day, they were almost on the road, and the cold frost was tired, and she just wanted to lie in bed for a while, but unfortunately Gu Tingyu had already opened the door and walked down the hill.
Leng Shuang had no choice but to follow him down the mountain, and the two rode horses, one after the other, and walked slowly for a while.
Suddenly, Gu Tingyu tightened the reins and stopped.
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Tingyu frowned and stared ahead: "There are people in front."
Cold Frost looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a fire flickering in the woods not far away.
"Brother Ayu, let's go around." She whispered.
Gu Tingyu nodded, turned the horse's head and was about to walk back, but after just a few steps, he stopped again.
Cold Frost was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes, carefully identifying the firelight in front of him, and after a while, he said slowly, "It seems to be Zhaojia Village."
Zhaojia Village?
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale, and she held the reins tightly, her legs a little limp.
"Brother Ayu, could the people from the Zhao family village be the people of the Zhao family?" Cold Frost asked in a trembling voice.
Gu Tingyu shook his head: "No, the villagers of Zhaojia Village have all moved out of this place, and they haven't contacted me for so many years, not to mention, I have never met the messenger over there."
"Who could that be?" Cold Frost muttered to herself.
Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's go over and have a look first, if it is confirmed that it is not a villager of the Zhao family, we will return the same way, and if it is a villager of the Zhao family, we will save people."
"Okay." Cold Frost nodded.
Gu Tingyu rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, then jumped off the horse, led the cold frost, and ran forward along the river bank.
"Brother Ayu, why are we running this way?"
"Shhhhhh Gu Tingyu put his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Listen."
Cold Frost listened, "What?"
Gu Tingyu lowered his head and whispered a few words to her.
Leng Shuang blinked and said in surprise, "Brother Ayu, aren't we at the foot of the mountain now?"
Gu Tingyu didn't say a word, and continued to lead her forward.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, Cold Frost heard the sound of the water hitting the stones, and following this sound, they walked more and more remotely, until at last they stood beside a small stream, watching the murmuring of the water.
"Brother Ayu," Leng Shuang was surprised, "how can there be such a beautiful scenery here."
Gu Tingyu's gaze fell on the grass by the stream, and his eyes gradually darkened: "Xue'er, do you remember the first time we met, you picked flowers on the side of the cliff?"
