Chapter 11: The Key

Gu Qingzhang went to support the southern border five years ago, but because he was ambushed by the enemy, his whereabouts have been unknown.

Everyone thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to come back alive. When Lin Chonghan heard this, he knocked over the teacup, and the song "Hairpin Phoenix" lingered in her heart again, making her have mixed tastes for a while.

Yu Ning asked the man, "Where is Master Hou now?" ”

"Hou Ye will arrive in Beijing in a few days," he hung his face, so that people couldn't see his expression clearly, "The situation is complicated, Hou Ye asked the humble post to inform his family first." ”

Gu Zhao raised his head blankly and looked at him, the blow he suffered today was not light, and his mind was in chaos. Gu Qingzhang's return was good news for everyone, but this good news was inevitably discounted when he came to him.

Gu Zhao's father retired early from his injury, so he went to ask for a holy decree and let Gu Qingzhang attack the knighthood.

Gu Qingzhang has been missing for five years, and everyone has no intention of letting Gu Zhao be this "Ning Anhou", which is a shame for Gu Zhao.

He opened his mouth with a squeeze of joy on his face, mixed with other indescribable expressions, and his handsome face was a little distorted.

"Big brother...... Did Big Brother really come back alive? …… That's great...... That's great. ”

He knelt on the ground, but the visitor stood straight, looking condescendingly at his master's brother, his face as provocative as if sarcastic.

He said coldly: "Yes, when the second master goes back, be sure to tell the old marquis and the old lady." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave here, as if he didn't look at this full hall of nobles, but when he turned around and turned his head, his eyes glanced at Lin Chonghan, who was sitting in a daze.

Lin Chonghan received this look, and couldn't help but feel excited, this person looked numb and had fierce eyes, what has Gu Qingzhang experienced in the past five years?

*

There is still some distance from the capital, and several people are gathered in one place, gossiping while roasting birds.

"Qi San has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"

The man who spoke was fat, with a round head, covered with tendons, and his double chin was so crowded that he couldn't see his neck.

Gu Qingzhang was concentrating on roasting the birds, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and said, "Maybe I offended the guards and has already been imprisoned." ”

He is the best-looking one among these people, with a handsome face and deep eye sockets, not like a person from the capital, but like a person from the Western Regions, and what is even more strange is that the color of his pupils is not black, but one blue and one yellow.

The left pupil is as blue as a cloudless clear sky, and the right pupil is golden like a dazzling daylightβ€”this is the most obvious abnormal pupil.

"I said Master Hou, what do you think?" The fat man turned around and complained, "There are so many of us here, you have to send that saw-mouthed gourd to spread the news." ”

Another man with a short stature and a thief in his eyes patted him and said, "Gua Er, Master Hou has his own ideas, maybe he has been unhappy with Qi San for a long time, and he is ready to sell him today." ”

As he spoke, Qi San quickly appeared.

"Something happened to Gu Zhao," Qi San said succinctly, "Miss Lin married Gu Zhao, but she has already reconciled. ”

Several people were silent when they heard this, they were all lifelong friends, and they also knew that Gu Qingzhang had been alive in the past five years, all because of his thoughts about Lin Chonghan.

Gu Qingzhang let out a "hmm", and his face couldn't see joy or anger.

Gua Er "grassed", and was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Qingzhang's look, he looked at Qian Si with those different pupils: "You go and inquire." ”

"Gua Er went to spread the news, so that the people behind him dispersed on the spot and rested."

The business of the Qian Si family is all over the country, and naturally it also includes the capital, Gu Qingzhang soon heard the rumors in the capital, he listened attentively, and gave an order: "Enter the city tonight." ”

The three of them are the only one, and they have no objections.

Gu Qingzhang got up, took a pill to cover the color of his eyes, and then left.

The cold wind blew through the muddy ground, and in the distance, only the four of them could be seen riding towards the capital, towards the center of power of the entire empire, as if to muddy the seemingly calm lake.

Lin Chonghan couldn't sleep peacefully tonight, she lay on the bed, the bed curtain swayed with the breeze, she stared at the intricate and beautiful patterns on it, and suddenly remembered that she had already asked the maid to close the window tonight.

"Who?!"

She sat up sharply and snorted, her right hand touching a sharpened dagger under the pillow.

"It's me."

The familiar but five-year-old voice sounded, and the tip of Lin Chonghan's nose was sour, and he almost cried. She threw down the dagger, lifted the curtain and got out of bed, the corners of her clothes fluttering slightly.

Gu Qingzhang was holding his hand, looking up at a painting she hung on the wall, turning his head and smiling at her, his handsome face was without the previous gloom.

This smile is rare to the taste of a young man back then, reminding Lin Chonghan of the carefree years back then, her lips trembled slightly, her eyes were red, she wanted to say something, ask something, but she didn't know how to speak.

Gu Qingzhang opened his arms with a smile, so Lin Chonghan couldn't bear it anymore, and Ruyan threw herself into his arms like a forest, bursting into tears.

"Okay," Gu Qingzhang rubbed her hair with his right palm and coaxed her softly, "Brother is not back, Xiao Han is happy." ”

Lin Chonghan suppressed his emotions, shaking his head and biting his lip, he did come back, but everything was already different.

Gu Qingzhang's eyes should have been black, but at this moment, he was holding Lin Chonghan, and his right eye was faintly glowing with a terrifying golden color. He closed his eyes and kissed Lin Chonghan's hair lightly, calming down the agitation and killing intent in his heart.

"I'm ......" Lin Chonghan snorted and wanted to speak, she was rarely timid, "I'm no longer ......"

Gu Qingzhang said, "I know. ”

He made her lie on his shoulder and said, "Five years ago, I was uncertain about my life and death, and there was no reason to hold you back." But I am determined to go my own way, and I have to achieve military merits before I marry you......"

Lin Chonghan interrupted him, and said with some difficulty: "But I'm married to ......."

Gu Qingzhang said again: "I know, I don't care. ”

Lin Chonghan raised his head in a panic, wanting to see his expression, but Gu Qingzhang gently pressed her head, not wanting her to see the unconcealable killing intent on his face, and whispered to her about the interesting things in the past.

Gu Qingzhang quietly took a deep breath, five years of time passed in front of him, this dark day was like a long-lasting dream, but after waking up, he was no longer the high-spirited young man he was back then.

He looked at the bronze mirror on the dresser, and his face in the mirror was distorted and his expression was blurred, and his eyes did not seem to be the dark black of ordinary people, but a strange blue and a yellow. Gu Qingzhang laughed at himself and thought that he might not be a normal person for a long time, but a monster wearing human skin.

But this heart has always been pure and immaculate, and he has no reservations about Lin Chonghan, because he still loves her, so she is the most important key that can put the monster in his heart in a cage.

Gu Qingzhang hugged her and silently thought that if Lin Chonghan was willing, he could play her young man for the rest of his life, as long as she didn't leave him again.

As long as she's by his side.
