On Qingniugang, Qin Lang and Su Yinhua, who were sitting side by side at the back of the house, one was quietly telling and the other was quietly listening.

It seems to be leisurely, but the content of the conversation is somewhat heavy.

……

“… When the couple gave birth to Sumire, decades had passed in the capital of Pingmanzhen, and Gujiabao had already changed its name to Gujia, and was doing the business of herbs and cloths according to the will of the emperor, however, when Sumire was six years old, that is, three years after my sister ascended the throne, the struggle in the court was far from being as stable as it is now, and the only son of the emperor, the former crown prince, was still frantically using various means to compete for the throne on the surface..."

“… In fact, when the emperor left a testament and let his dead brother's second daughter, that is, my sister inherit the throne, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, although there were several empresses in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but this kind of removal of the first prince and passing the throne to the second daughter of a deceased prince is really too unacceptable..."

“… No one knows why the first emperor did this, anyway, the turmoil and dispute over the throne has not stopped since my sister returned from a study tour at the age of thirteen and ascended the throne, and the first five years were the most violent..."

“… And for the sake of the throne, the former crown prince, with the support of the regent, did not hesitate to use all means, including perversely obliterating the will of the first emperor and weakening the influence of the first emperor! In addition, he knew that my sister had traveled to the rivers and lakes to study since she was a child, and maybe she had also joined a certain sect, so his unreasonable hatred for the Jianghu sect was no worse than that of the first emperor..."

The next thing, Su Yinhua didn't say, Qin Lang could roughly guess it.

The Gu family, who was originally pardoned by the first emperor, was finally forcibly turned over by the crazy former prince, and in the name of "quelling the chaos for his father", along with some other descendants of the sect who were pardoned in the Pingman Town, they were tragically destroyed!

Among them, when the Gu family was wiped out, Gu Jin at that time was just six years old.

In order to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, Xiao Gu Jin hid in a donkey cart, fled all the way to the capital from Yuezhou, where the Gu family was located, and happened to faint in front of the house of Su Yinhua, the county lord of Qingli, and was picked up by the sixteen-year-old county lord, and hid it when the officers and soldiers "checked and filled in the gaps", and since then Gu Jin's life has been completely saved.

This is why, Gu Jin wants to be Su Yinhua's personal guard, to repay her kindness, and to say something like "My life is Madame's".

"Former prince, how is it now..."

"Huh?"

After listening to Su Yinhua talk about Gu Jin, Qin Lang was quiet for a long time, and finally suddenly asked such a question.

Su Yinhua was a little surprised, but still replied:

According to the palace people, he seems to be a little crazy now, and has been living in his deceased mother, that is, the Queen Mother's Fushou Palace, but since he has done this, the power of the regent who originally supported him has grown stronger and stronger...... It is said that my sister's main worry now is the regent. ”

"Regent..."

Qin Lang remembered that he asked the storyteller at the beginning, why the emperor only gave his sister the title of county lord, not the prince, the storyteller said that it was about the court battle, in order to protect his sister or something, Qin Lang also felt that it was a trick.

Now that I heard Su Yinhua personally mention these things in the court, I may not believe it, but I have to believe it.

However, the reason why Qin Lang asked the news of the prince right now was not to consider the messy affairs of the court that were far away from him.

He just thinks that a certain girl who attaches so much importance to love and righteousness, and has a stubborn temperament, since she has kept "revenge" in her heart at a young age, what about "revenge"? …

For such a girl, hatred and grace are mostly the same unforgettable...

Such a young girl, volunteering to go to Biluo Valley to learn martial arts, maybe... It's not just about repaying the favor...

——————————

The past will eventually pass.

The future is still the future.

After hearing about Gu Jin's past, although Qin Lang knows more about a certain girl, he doesn't seem to have changed much about his current daily life.

The girls' injuries still have to be healed, and Qin Lang's life with the girls will continue.

It's just that it's a little more regular now than before.

In addition to practicing and cooking every day, Qin Lang's life has added two new fixed tasks, that is, teaching Su Yinhua the knife technique during the day and accompanying Gu Jin to walk the horse at night.

……

The latter is also a helpless move, since that night by the river, the little mare Zhen Ji has taken it as a fixed activity to go out and walk around the world at night, no one can watch it, Gu Jin is alone.

Although Qin Lang felt that Zhen Ji's strolling around every night became more and more like she was looking for something "invisible", it was not good to say it in front of Gu Jin, so as not to make her more afraid.

Of course, it doesn't have to be in the middle of the night to say it's night.

……

In the evening, the sun sets, and the fiery clouds stain most of the sky in the distance, like a handful of cinnabar falling into the blue spring, and it is dyed with incomparably brilliant brilliance in the high sky.

The two of them occasionally strolled under the brilliant sunset, and Qin Lang began to tell Gu Jin some stories about his childhood to pass the time.

Qin Lang's childhood was actually quite plain, at the beginning, there were only himself and his senior sister, and a certain girl not only didn't seem interested, but the more she talked about it, the more she ignored Qin Lang.

So later, Qin Lang tried his best to talk about something other than his senior sister.

Although Qin Lang only said that he lived in the mountains with his senior sister, and did not say that it was the Tianshan Mountains, it did not affect the storytelling, what snow leopards, glaciers, snow lotuses and the like, they could still be told to Gu Jin.

And Gu Jin's favorite thing to listen to is the thing that Xiao Fei practiced.

……

The so-called Xiaofei practice is actually a term of endearment for white cats.

Gu Jin has always liked cats, and it just so happens that the white cat raised by her senior sister also has a lot of interesting stories, and the most amazing thing about her is that she is human.

"Human? Same as Zhen Ji? ”

"It's better than Zhen Ji, she can understand people's words, and then my senior sister seems to be able to understand her cat language, so she can often bring some more important news from the bottom of the mountain back from all over the world."

"Then she... Shouldn't he also be a descendant of the Yunzhou Demon Clan..."

"What do you mean..."

Qin Lang couldn't cry or laugh:

"Don't talk about that cat, Zhen Ji doesn't have to be a descendant of the demon clan, I've said it, legends are legends, you don't need to take it too seriously, okay?"

"Oh..."

Gu Jin nodded, and then while holding Zhen Ji, she moved a little closer to Qin Lang beside her.

Qin Lang noticed this, but he paid more attention to these small movements of hers than before.

Because Qin Lang understands that after experiencing so many things that should not be experienced since she was a child, a small step that a girl takes to get closer to outsiders may be a big step in her heart.

So, whether it was impulsive or prepared, Qin Lang walked under the night sky side by side and quietly approaching his girl, and at the same time reached out and hugged her soft waist.

“？！”

“……”

Between the palms of the hands, in addition to the soft warmth of the girl's body, there was also a clear trace of instinctive struggle.

It's just that this wisp of struggle quickly dissipated, and melted into someone's powerful hand like a block of ice.

“……”

“……”

In the next scene, neither of them spoke, still strolling quietly in the warm sky, only the white horse beside him looked around from time to time, and from time to time he glanced meaningfully at Qin Lang's big hand placed on Gu Jin's waist.

Until...

Hmmm——!

“？”

“！”

The footsteps of the two of them stopped almost at the same time, and Qin Lang frowned and looked sideways at the woods not far away:

"Sumire, did you see that?"

"Hmm... Hmm..."

Gu Jin's voice was pitiful, Qin Lang turned his head blankly, only then did he realize that his waist and back had been wrapped around Gu Jin's two delicate arms, and his hands were somewhat skillfully grasping his clothes.

"No, it looks like a big white mouse jumped over just now..."

It was useless to say more, the girl's clothes hung her head down, and she was buried in Qin Lang's shoulder socket, as if she didn't plan to raise her head tonight.

“……”

Qin Lang is a little funny, this thing is too fast, it seems that she really can't tell her anything about monsters in the future.

But just now, at the end of a dazzling sunset, a touch of white did flash past.

The most direct evidence is that Zhen Ji on the side was already excited, and then twisted her hairy buttocks and rushed straight to the forest.

"Zhen Ji!"

Da Da Da –

If it weren't for the fact that it was indeed a good horse, Qin Lang didn't have time to chase it, and the little mare had already disappeared into the forest.

What Qin Lang and Gu Jin didn't expect was that when the two came to the edge of the woods and were about to go in to find her, Zhen Ji herself came back with elegant steps.

"Zhen Ji? Where did you go? ”

“~”

The little mare couldn't speak, but there was obviously a hint of joy in her elegant steps, and then, Qin Lang and Gu Jin suddenly found that Zhen Ji, who ran back, actually had a lump of things hanging in her mouth!

It was a lump, a white ball of white fur that was fluffier than her ass, but only about a foot wide.

"Demon... Demon..."

A certain girl who poked out one eye from Qin Lang's shoulder socket couldn't complete the words in disbelief.

But Qin Lang is different.

For the first time, he felt that the white hairball was a little familiar, and when he looked at it again, an extremely familiar name blurted out directly:

"Tuan Tuan?!"

"Meow~~!"

Almost instantly, the white hairball in the horse's mouth let out a bewitching cat meow, and after two pairs of big sapphire eyes came out of the hairball, they flashed excitedly twice towards Qin Lang first, and then glared fiercely at Zhen Ji's horse face.

"Whew——!"

“……”

Qin Lang never expected that almost a month after he went down to the Tianshan Mountain, this guy would actually appear by his side.

And after Gu Jin also saw the general appearance of the fur ball, she finally raised her little face and pulled Qin Lang's sleeve:

"Qin Lang... This one... Is it a cat or a fox? ”

"Her name is Tuan Tuan, which is what I told you, the Xiaofei that I raised on the mountain."

Qin Lang familiarly introduced the characteristics of the white hairball, and then stretched out his hand and smoothly took the hairball's body from Zhen Ji's mouth:

"This thing is like a cat and a fox, especially the tail, especially like a fox, a big one, fluffy, wrapped up like a ball."

"Meow-~"

Tuan Tuan seemed to be able to understand Qin Lang's words, but he didn't mind, but sprinkled Jiao in Qin Lang's arms for the first time, looked up at Qin Lang's face, and the four pink claws slowly moved, and then leaned out one and gently pressed it on Qin Lang's face and rubbed it.

"Tsk, don't make a fuss, someone..."

Qin Lang glanced at the thing with indulgence, but he didn't notice that the cat's eyes suddenly dimmed rapidly, and after almost being stunned for a moment, it regained its clarity and transparency.

But the look in those big eyes seems to have become a little subtle...

However, such a subtle thing, let alone Qin Lang, as a personal guard, Gu Jin, who should be as wise as a torch, didn't notice it.

The two of them, one was immersed in the surprise of getting together with the "old friend", and the other was originally fond of cats, and they were quickly attracted by the appearance of Tuan Tuan itself.

"This cat just likes me to toss her......"

Qin Lang turned the little white cat over as he spoke, patted her fluffy face, and patted her meowing.

——————————

At the same time, on the Tien Shan Mountains, covered by fire clouds, somewhere in a cave.

On a stone lotus platform that is usually used for meditation, a pretty woman dressed in white has a beautiful face dyed with red, just like the burning clouds in the sky at this moment.

"Whew......~"

"Ha......~"

At this time, she did not sit on the lotus platform like she had recently recuperated, but her forehead was full of fragrant sweat, her red lips were spraying with the heat of orchid, and she knelt on the lotus platform with some weakness.

The full moon rises high.

And through the thin cloud veil, on the jade-colored full moon, you can see a few palm prints like a faint red.

"White-eyed...! Let you go down the mountain to the rivers and lakes... You're all over the place... This inverse... Hmm~..."

Before the murmuring words fell, the woman's graceful body trembled again, and at the same time as there was one more red handprint, the woman's originally dark eyes also flashed a touch of blue at the same time.

I don't know how many times I repeated it, but when I finally stopped, the woman's face was already red and hazy, and her eyes were full of water.

"Damn... Spiritism is too hard to stick to...... Otherwise... Hmph..."

Her pupils finally stopped flashing blue, but the whole person just gritted her silver teeth and fell asleep on the lotus platform.

At this point, the cave was silent, except for the occasional inexplicable dripping sound of water dripping from the stone lotus platform under the woman's seat towards the ground...

Tick~
