Chapter 13: Déjà vu
On the way to Yunshan, Gu Qingquan almost never left his sword, and the earth-shattering sword always lingered in his mind. While thinking about the sword, he still gestured in his hand from time to time.
With a long exhalation, Gu Qingquan looked at the stone sword in his hand and grinned, he really liked this feeling of sweating more and more. Coupled with the long journey in the past few days and the nourishment of aura, I can clearly feel that my physique has strengthened a little.
Ye Ziyi snickered on the side: "Brother Qingquan is almost Mora!"
Gu Qingquan rubbed Ye Ziyi's hair, "I'm finally going to Xuancheng, wait until I get to the national capital and take a good rest." Looking at Xuancheng not far away, Gu Qingquan smiled knowingly, Sister Yuege, I will see you again soon.
Xuancheng, the national capital of Anguo, is not comparable to a small town like Yecheng. Not to mention anything else, the two-meter-high marble city wall alone is extravagant, and the word "Xuancheng" is written in Xuanyu, but everyone has forgotten which emperor it came from.
The streets are clean and spacious, lined with commercial shops, and there is no shortage of stalls in the corners, only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy. Such a bustling city should be full of people coming and going, but today, it is surprisingly quiet.
The streets were deserted, and only the patrolling guards were still standing in various parts of Xuancheng. People are sitting in their homes, not daring to go out and walk around at will, but their eyes are curious to look out.
A carriage walked alone on the official road, and the two teams of guards following behind were listless and walked towards Xuancheng. On the carriage, a redbud flower drawn from a golden thread was particularly dazzling in the sun.
"Is that the royal guard of Anguo?" Ye Ziyi looked at the sparkling redbud flower, turned her head and asked Gu Qingquan, her long hair playfully drawing a circle in the air.
"Well, it should be. Gu Qingquan squinted his eyes, looked at the luxurious carriage, and sighed in his heart, worthy of the royal family, the gold and silver threads on the sedan chair were intertwined, telling its great deal in the sun. Far from being comparable to the three major families in Yecheng, looking up and down at the luxurious sedan chair, a touch of black that slid through in an instant caught Gu Qingquan's gaze.
What was that? The black slid through, leaving a wet mark that looked like a snake. Could it be that the royal people still have such a quirk as raising snakes? Gu Qingquan touched his chin and thought.
Thinking about it, the scene of his murder in front of the city gate half a year ago suddenly jumped into his mind, Gu Qingquan raised his eyebrows, could anyone dare to murder the royal people? Curiosity rose, and the powerful soul spread out, trying to spy on the situation in the sedan chair.
However, the soul bead had been shattered, and the soul power had also been slightly damaged, Gu Qingquan could only vaguely feel that there were many black shadows crawling around in the sedan chair. Ye Ziyi on the side also seemed to feel unusual, and her eyes looking at Gu Qingquan were full of questions.
"We don't care. After a moment of silence, Gu Qingquan said, even passers-by could see that it was unusual, but the strange thing was that the person carrying the sedan chair next to him did not react in the slightest. The meaning here is really intriguing. Your own problems have not been solved, so why bother to get into trouble again.
Gu Qingquan indifferently pulled Ye Ziyi towards the city gate.
At the moment when the carriage passed, a cool autumn breeze rolled up the curtain of the carriage. Under the curtain of the car, a little boy who looked about the same age as Ye Ziyi cowered in a corner, surrounded by jet-black poisonous snakes. The eyes and indifferent eyes that did not match his age made Gu Qingquan's heart twitch inexplicably.
That feeling of déjà vu was like when I first met Ye Ziyi, as if I had known each other for thousands of years. At this time, seeing him sitting among the snakes, he felt as if his own brother was being persecuted, and his anger rushed to his heart.
Holding Ye Ziyi's hand tighter and tighter, Ye Ziyi looked up at Gu Qingquan's expression, and whispered, "Do you also feel familiar?"
Listening to Ye Ziyi's words, Gu Qingquan's eyes jumped, and in the next second, the person had already stepped into the sedan chair.
People's potential will always be stimulated at critical moments, although the swordsmanship is not high, but against these poisonous tongues, there is still a look. Wielding the Songtao Sword in one hand and carrying the little boy out of the sedan chair with the other, the surrounding guards watched Gu Qingquan take people away like a wind, but they didn't have time to stop it, everything happened too quickly and suddenly.
"There's a snake in the sedan chair!" suddenly one of them exclaimed.
"Someone dares to persecute the third prince!"
"The third prince seems to have been poisoned, and his lips have turned purple!"
People poured out of the house and pointed at the carriage.
The third prince? Gu Qingquan looked at the little boy in his arms. There was no expression on the resolute little face, as if he had long been accustomed to this phenomenon. The black and thick eyebrows are full of heroism, there is no blood on his face, there are no waves in his dark eyes, there is a trace of death, he looks vicissitudes and melancholy, which is not what he should have at his age.
"Ziyi, he's poisoned. At this time, Gu Qingquan couldn't take care of it so much, and looked up at Ye Ziyi. Ye Ziyi nodded clearly, took out a hairpin from her arms, made a cut on the little boy's right hand, and then put her hands behind his back, and the green yuan power was all input into the little boy's body.
After a while, a few drops of black blood were forced out and fell to the ground, and the bluestone floor instantly made a "hissing" sound, and in a blink of an eye, it was corroded into several small holes. Gu Qingquan couldn't help but gasp, it was so poisonous.
The wood-based warlock has no other specialty, but it is absolutely good at saving people. It's a high-level universal doctor.
Ye Ziyi looked at the little boy, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, during the treatment, the little boy actually didn't say a word, his eyes and expression always remained calm, and never changed.
"Who are you, how can you lowly people look at the royal bloodline?" Suddenly, a rough voice sounded overhead.
Gu Qingquan watched the little boy return to his normal pink lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a cold voice without raising his head: "Where were you when the prince was in a dangerous situation?" Suddenly, there was anger in his tone.
Being asked like this, the guard was speechless, and Gu Qingquan helped the little boy to stand still before looking at the guard. The figure is the standard five big and three thick, and a Chinese face is full of beards.
The guard looked at Gu Qingquan and the others with a red face, and couldn't help but pull the little boy to his side, turned around and left, and his movements were extremely rude. The little boy just frowned in displeasure, and did not reproach. Instead, he turned around and glanced deeply at Gu Qingquan and Ye Ziyi.
"Is this really a prince?" Ye Ziyi glared at the rude guard, and couldn't help whispering. Gu Qingquan stared at the little boy's back for a long time and didn't speak until the little boy was picked up in another carriage before he looked away.
The people around them also scattered pointing at the rude guard.
"I heard that the third prince had a serious illness as soon as he was born, and after he recovered, he was no longer taken seriously. ”
"No, his mother is no longer favored because of him. ”
"Hey, a companion is like a tiger, we can't understand the royal world. ”
...
Flawless and scruples about what everyone said, Gu Qingquan's eyes suddenly changed, and he pulled Ye Ziyi and walked towards the city.
