Chapter 16 Life and Death Go Together
Chen Qiao'er staggered towards the edge of the cliff.
The steep mountain breeze blew in her face, slowing her steps slightly.
Seeing that she was close to the edge of the cliff, and she could even see the sea of clouds tumbling under the cliff, Qiao'er was already dead at this time. His parents died early, and his parents' faces barely left any impression in his mind, and Min'er was the only relative in the world.
"Well, is there really no concern?" She sighed deeply in her heart. Alas, Li Laiheng, the man who haunted her soul, this handsome face that has been imagined countless times to grow old with her white head, this name that can make her heart tremble whenever and wherever she thinks of it, and can make her unforgettable in the next life...... At this moment, the pain in her heart was indescribable, but seeing her heart crossed, her teeth were bitten, she jumped and went towards the sea of clouds under the cliff.
said that it was too late and that was fast, only to hear the "whoosh" behind her, between the lightning and flint, a rope with the thickness of a thumb suddenly wrapped around Chen Qiaoer's waist, Qiao'er immediately felt a tightness on her body, and instantly stopped falling, but her body was slamming towards the cliff, and Chen Qiaoer suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
At this critical moment, a desire to survive suddenly appeared in my heart. She turned to the side hard, facing the cliff, her toes on a small rock raised from the cliff, and her hands quickly pressed the wall, and suddenly relieved the force of the impact, and the stepchild kicked on her toes, and the whole person jumped up like an ape.
There was a man standing on the cliff, who was smiling and saying to her:
"Mr. Qiao'er, you are so skilled!"
"Thank you, General Lee, for your help!" Chen Qiaoer hugged Li Yong slightly to show her gratitude.
She recognized Li Yong as Lai Heng's personal general, and she didn't want to show any bad emotions in front of others, so she asked casually:
"General, why are you here?"
"The Queen Mother asked me to look for you, saying that I have something to discuss with you. How about we go to her together? Li Yong didn't ask her about jumping off the cliff, although he was really startled just now, thinking to himself, maybe she must have something in her heart that she can't think of, how can she take care of women's hearts as a man?
Qiao'er was shocked by the one just now, and the palpitations in her heart did not disappear, and after a little hesitation, she nodded and followed Li Yong back to Ciqing Palace.
Mrs. Gao was waiting anxiously in the house, and suddenly saw Chen Qiao'er turn unharmed, and she was very relieved. She was really afraid that Qiao'er would do something stupid, Mrs. Gao knew Chen Qiao'er's arrogant temperament since she was a child. I saw her beckoning to Qiao'er with a smile.
"Qiao'er, come over and let me take a good look. My son, my well-behaved! As he spoke, he held Qiao'er in his arms and kept looking.
Qiao'er was embarrassed at this time, so she held Mrs. Gao's hand and whispered:
"Qiao'er, Qiao'er... Let, let the Queen Mother worry. ”
"Okay, I won't call the queen mother in the future, just call the old grandmother!" Mrs. Gao said with a smile.
"Lai Heng personally said to the old man, 'Grandma, let's marry today, and when the war slows down, I will marry Qiao'er.' Qiao'er, are you okay?"
Chen Qiaoer was in a dream at this time, and when she heard the word "marriage", she was really overjoyed. She choked on her tears, and she didn't care about any reserve, hugged Mrs. Gao tightly, and said coquettishly:
"Thank you too, no, thank you, thank you grandma!"
Mrs. Gao looked at Qiao'er's peach blossom face, and her infinitely shy appearance was really pitiful, and she was relieved and said:
"Good, good, good! My good boy. ”
When Hei Yougong was reading Li Laiheng's letter, Laiheng had already returned to Baiyang Village with everyone.
Baiyang Village is located at the foot of Maolu Mountain, every time it rains, the ground in the tent in the village will be very wet and muddy, today taking advantage of the good weather, Zhang Shun assigned the task of guarding the village, he personally led people to repair the house.
When Lai Heng arrived at the village, the white cement on the ground, the fine yellow sand had been paved and beaten densely, and a few charcoal fires were lit in the tent to dry the stagnant water on the ground. Lai Heng looked inside, and the tent was really renovated, and even the bedding and pillows on the bed had been replaced with brand new.
"I didn't expect Zhang Shun'er to think very thoughtfully, how to reward him Qingping, think about it." Lai Heng turned around and said to Qingping with a smile.
"Okay." Qingping owed a little and agreed. Suddenly, he saw that Gui Huaiyuan's little colonel was still standing under a tall jujube tree not far away, waiting, so he ordered one of his own soldiers to take the man to eat immediately, and the rest of the soldiers let them rest. He went to Laiheng Oolong on horseback and took down the wooden box containing the book of heaven.
The wooden box is now wrapped in a layer of green cloth, and the 'Book of Heaven' in the box is still placed on the bookcase in the tent.
"Oops!" I only heard Qingping screaming. Lai Heng hurriedly turned around and saw Qingping sitting on the ground. He dragged the green cloth burden in his hand, and cried bitterly in his mouth.
Li Laiheng saw that Qingping's eyes never left the bookcase, and immediately understood in his heart. He called Zhang Shun, pointed to the bookcase and whispered:
"Zhang Shun'er, where is my book?"
"Grandpa Guo, I'm busy beckoning them to do things, this... I really don't care. Zhang Shun replied hesitantly.
"All the people who come in and out of this place, call them all." Li came to Hengden's tone in a serious tone, and the smile on his face disappeared. He walked straight to Qingping's side, and helped Song Qingping to sit on a Taishi chair close to the charcoal fire.
Zhang Shun hurriedly called several of the soldiers in the tent out of the tent for questioning.
After a while, I saw Zhang Shun leading the two of them in, each holding a lot of Tangbao documents and other objects on the bookcase.
Song Qingping jumped up from the chair suddenly, looked through it a few times, and saw at a glance that the 'Book of Heaven' was in it.
"Ah, here, thank goodness!" He said in his heart, letting out a long breath.
Seeing this situation, Lai Heng knew that he should not blame Zhang Shun too much, but his expression was still grim, but he said to Zhang Shun in a slightly relaxed tone:
"Zhang Shun'er, I am here in the future, and no one is allowed to enter without permission under any circumstances. You command it to go down, and those who disobey it will be severely punished. ”
Zhang Shun heard what Grandpa Guo said, and he didn't dare to say more. Nodding his head, he led the two out of the tent.
Qingping heard one of the two pro-soldiers muttering, "I can't understand it, is there such a treasure?" I heard Zhang Shun scolding again, "Grandpa Guo told us to obey the order, why is there so much nonsense ......" The voice gradually faded away.
Qingping shook her head helplessly, carried the wooden box wrapped in green cloth and put it into a large cabinet with gold and black lacquer at the head of the bed, closed the door, and then said to Lai Heng:
"Grandpa Guo, where Gui Huaiyuan is, according to what do you think Li Qinxiang intends to do?"
Lai Heng raised his head from the "Book of Heaven", smiled at Qingping, put down the book, slowly stood up from the chair, frowned, thought for a while, and said:
"I guess it must be Jingzhou that has added soldiers and horses." Lai Heng suddenly remembered the urgent secret report that he had obviously sent the day before.
"Ah, yes, Qingping, you forgot? Didn't the Tang newspaper sent the day before yesterday say that there will be soldiers and horses to support Jingzhou in the next few days? If it was just Li Qinxiang's own little people, it is expected that he would not act rashly. So in my opinion, the soldiers and horses to reinforce Jingzhou must be on the way! ”
"I didn't expect Grandpa Guo to coincide with Qingping!" Song Qingping said excitedly when she heard this.
"It's just..."Qingping's face instantly became serious.
"How?" Lai Heng also became nervous.
"Alas!" I only heard Qingping sigh deeply and continued:
"Grandpa Guo, we don't have much grain and grass, support, support won't be long!" Qingping shook her head again, which suddenly made Lai Heng's mood very heavy. This is a very sensitive topic, and everyone is reluctant to talk about it, and there is a heavy atmosphere in the whole tent.
"Qingping," after a short while, Lai Heng spoke first and broke the dullness.
"How's the book being translated?"
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot about it." Qingping was happy.
"There's still a little bit left to finish the book. Grandpa Guo, you can practice from scratch according to the method of this translation, and then take the elixir according to the book, or unexpected surprises may occur. Qingping handed the translation to Lai Heng, said confidently, and walked to the bookcase and began to study the ink.
"I'm going to finish it tonight." Qingping thought to himself, and suddenly a cold wind blew outside the tent, which made him shiver.
"It's almost time to make friends, tomorrow is the twenty-third day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and it's really cool on the side of this mountain, alas, I hope the soldiers can last a little longer! I don't know if Grandpa Guo can practice the realm described in the book. "I was thinking to myself in my heart, when I suddenly heard a voice floating in the wind outside the tent:
"The little one is happy to have something to see Grandpa Guo, and the annoying brother will pass it on."
Then another voice shouted:
"What came to Shelaifu, where are you Tangma? What time is it, see you tomorrow. ”
"It's a little meaning, my brother is really in a hurry to see the country..."
"Shhhh Where do you think you're a pond horse?"
"The small one is General Langwu's tent under the Tang Horse..."
Qingping had already stopped studying ink, and Lai Heng also put down the book, looked at each other and smiled silently. Overheard, a soldier outside the tent whispered:
"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo, have you slept? … Grandpa Guo? ”
"Call him in." Lai Heng said in the tent.
