Attack is successful, the name is [traversing]
Chapter 75 Shell
Qi Yanwei goes out to pick peach blossoms with Aunt Gu every day, and often goes out in the morning light and returns home in the moonlight.
The bamboo basket was full of dewy peach petals, and Gu Anluo looked strange when he saw it:
"Business, it's not enough."
"Top!" Xiao Wei'er seriously corrected, she has been completely brainwashed by Aunt Gu in terms of making a living:
"Dehydrated, pickled in salt and molasses, it's delicious!"
Yes, yes, put "Yan Tang" in...Gu An Luo curled his lips:
"Little girl stuff."
"If there is too much wine, it can be sold for money." Xiao Wei'er calculated carefully.
Gu Anluo sighed:
"You brew and I brew. Everyone is brewing. Who are you selling to? Poor and happy."
Qi Yanwei was speechless for a while, puffed out her cheeks and stared at him, Aunt Gu took the little basket on her back, and slapped her boy:
"If you can't sell it, can't you drink it yourself?"
Gu Anluo smiled:
"Just these two little ones, the flower juice can make them drunk, even the flower wine!"
"Brother Gu, I might have drunk it!" Qi Yanwei pleaded dissatisfied.
"Yo, have you ever had a drink?"
"This...it's impossible to drink in the future!" Seeing her blushing in shame, Gu'an Luo laughed even more presumptuously, and finally made the little girl walk into the house angrily, and Gu Anluo realized it later beg for mercy.
When the peach blossom wine was brewed, he really dedicated all his share to the new little drunkard, only then did he realize that her "may drink" was really sincere.
With spring returning to the earth, Qi Yantang became more and more elusive.The Gu family's mother and son were so worried about their livelihood that they didn't pay attention to the boy's whereabouts for a while. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned home with two big bags of millet.
"Where did it come from?" Gu Anluo widened his eyes.
Qi Yantang's face was full of helplessness, and he concealed his words.
His brother can't be easily fooled, especially after being fooled by him a few times.
Finally he confessed:
"A medicine dealer came to the town, and I went to help him catch snakes."
Gu Anluo became anxious when he heard it, and Qi Yantang hurriedly comforted him:
"You've seen me catch snakes. I'm very good at it. It doesn't matter."
"Don't be tight! Can the frozen snake compare to the rejuvenated snake? Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" He said, really pumping his fist.
Why don't other people go to this kid and go up to him? Such a light and unscrupulous businessman still needs someone to help him?Sometimes Gu Anluo was really pissed off by this kid.
Qi Yantang didn't plan to go again, because the drug dealer had left, so he kept silent, and then made all kinds of unreliable guarantees. Gu Anluo only felt empty in his ears, he knew too well that this kid could How cruel is it.
Although the days were difficult, it was safe anyway. The four members of the family were hungry and full, and ate flower petals to survive the hardest time. They didn't think about giving up anyone, and the relationship grew deeper.
Qi Yantang simply found a diagram of meridians in his spare time, and told the other three people his knowledge of breathing and breathing. He played it vigorously.Even though his teacher couldn't be more conscientious, others seemed to find it difficult to comprehend the aura he described. Aunt Gu was getting old, and this method would also strengthen her body, while Qi Yanwei and Gu Anluo still had some signs of it.
But I don't know if it's because of his strange aptitude or something, he is the only one who is making rapid progress, and his two brothers and sisters are improving slowly, and their bodies are also much stronger.
That is to say, with such a stature, when the famine ravaged Taoyuan Village, everyone looked disheveled and their feet were sloppy, and they could walk like a breeze.
After they settled down, the two brothers and sisters of Qi Yantang showed a little childish vigor, sometimes it made Gu Anluo's teeth itch with hatred, and Xiao Yanwei had never looked at him with such admiring eyes.One day he finally found time to take the two brothers and sisters into the house, under the guise of teaching them some sage's words, but in the end he made a lot of nonsense in exchange for a bunch of questions from these two little things, which he himself would never answer later. I can't justify myself.
This has never happened before. Anyone who can read two characters in Taoyuan Village is a talented person. He has always been the pillar here.But what he was facing was Qi Yantang, and he was subdued by all the fallacies and heresies. In the days that followed, they had one more homework besides martial arts, and this day passed like a year.
However, people are not cows after all, not to mention peach blossoms will be eaten up one day.
At the same time as the government recruited soldiers, they also recruited strong men to build city defenses. They had two corn buns and a bowl of gruel a day. They couldn't eat enough or starve to death, but the risk was extremely high.Finally, this became the last way out for the Gu family.
Gu Anluo originally planned to go by himself, eat a bowl of porridge a day to support himself, and then bring back the wotou to make rations for the old and young at home, but he didn't want to be blocked by the gloomy Qi Yantang when he went out under the moonlight.
He looked helplessly at his cheap brother.
"Am I the brother or are you the brother? Get out of the way."
"Either don't go, or I will go with you."
"Threatening your brother after eating a leopard?!"
"You can try it, Wei'er and Niang didn't sleep deeply."
Gu Anluo's face turned bitter, the two women knew about them, let alone think about it, Qi Yanwei has a shadow on such things, not to mention the ancient mother, she is a mother who would rather starve to death with the whole family than let the little one go out to take risks .
Qi Yantang's mouth was bitter, he also had this plan a few days ago, and only slightly slipped his tongue and hoped that his mother would take care of Wei'er, so Aunt Gu said:
I still have a few ounces of meat on this old bone. If you can earn a stutter, you will never starve to death. When that day comes, my mother kicks her legs and you have to cook the meat for me.What a wall!Just to die, if you dare to go, just step on my dead body!
Gu Anluo had no choice but to compromise.
When the Dongchuang incident happened, it was already done. The two women in the family were not crying and making noises, but instead made the two half-sized men feel close.
Carrying them out every day with thousands of reminders, but the life of repairing the wall is not easy, and being bullied by soldiers is commonplace.Both of them could bear insulting and beating Qi Gu, and they couldn't bear the fatigue of the scorching sun, but they couldn't bear it when those gangsters stretched their hands to the rations they wanted to bring back.
It's not a big deal to punch and kick a military ruffian relying on my own two abilities, but it's not a good thing that the soldier ruffian has some relationship with the ten chief of the county.They came back very early that day, Qi Yanwei mother and daughter were both happy and worried, although the two looked fine, but Qi Yanwei who had lived with Qi Yantang for a long time could still detect some clues.They sneaked into the house on the pretext of taking a bath, closed the door, and hid their doubtful and worried faces outside.
"I think..." There was a table between Qi Yantang and Gu Anluo.
"No!" Gu Anluo interrupted him without thinking.
"I haven't said anything yet." Qi Yantang raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, but I said no."
"We can't hide here, it will bring trouble to Mother and Wei'er."
"...I'll go, you stay."
"Don't think about it."
"I'm brother, listen to me."
"We can't take them away either. There is chaos outside and the famine is still going on. It's useless to run anywhere."
"Hey!" Gu Anluo patted the table:
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Brother, you know I can't let you go alone."
"Can I let you go?" Gu Anluo smiled ugly.
Qi Yantang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear:
"My parents are here, so I don't want to travel far. Aunt Gu only has you as a blood relative. You definitely can't leave."
Gu Anluo suddenly lowered his face, and said coldly:
"Are you going to treat us as relatives?"
Qi Yantang's mouth was full of bitterness, and he didn't reply.Gu Anluo was out of breath and thumped the table vigorously, the door opened in response to the sound, Aunt Gu
He came in with a straight face, followed by Qi Yanwei with an ugly face:
"What did you two bastards do again?"
The two suddenly lost their arrogance just now, and Gu Anluo shrank his neck and said in a low voice:
"Mom, why are you peeking at people taking a bath..."
Aunt Gu slapped him on the forehead:
"You took off my clothes!"
Then she pulled Qi Yanwei to sit down, as if she didn't explain clearly and didn't move.
In fact, they didn't hold back their hands this morning, and accidentally beat the army ruffian who always bullied them half to death.It is rare for them to be so thorny among the tenants who build the wall. Naturally, soldiers who have been arrogant for a long time will not be subdued. Will fight with the army, let alone ordinary people.
Taking advantage of the time when the bastard ran back to call for someone, Gu Anluo and Qi Yantang slipped back with oil on their feet. After calming down, the two half-grown teenagers realized that this was not a long-term solution. But it's the worst.Both of them were thinking along the way, but in the end there was actually only one way, to join the army.
There are several advantages to joining the army: when you become a member of the army, you will be given a sack of food per head. If you live frugally, it will be enough for the whole family to feed for a month; there is also military pay every month, and you can save some on the front line, and maybe you can send some back. , if the entrusted person is reliable; another point is, if you are not a murderer who commits a rebellion, after joining the army, all the crimes will be forgotten.
Besides, their place is small, and I heard that there is an unwritten rule set by the head of a hundred households, the position of the chief of the ten men will be given to the most skilled. Qi Yantang coveted the position of the bully when he thought of joining the army.
There are so many benefits to joining the army. Apart from selling your life, there is nothing unnegotiable. Besides, it is much more cost-effective than selling it to that crazy doctor. As long as you don’t die—his life is so hard, you shouldn’t die, but his brother is different. .
Qi Yantang has always felt that Gu Anluo is different from him. He is a child of a decent family. Even if he can't achieve literary and martial arts in the future, there are many good ways out. He won't get used to the life of wandering. It wasn't that the appearance of him and Qi Yanwei disturbed the peace of their family and increased the family's burden. At his age, he should have lived a lighter life instead of frowning all day, looking like an old man.
Gu Auntie sighed deeply, her sad eyes were like the water in late autumn, she must have been a very beautiful girl when she was young, but she touched the heads of the two boys with her hands wrinkled by time, her eyes couldn't flow The tears turned into reefs, they are ships without eyes, and they will be bloodied at a glance.
Qi Yantang turned his eyes away, and said in a hopeful and innocent tone:
"Mother, I don't want to stay in the village for the rest of my life. Let's not talk about the difficulties of my family and country. I joined the army. It will not be a problem to become a marquis or a general in the future. Then I will lead you to live in a big house and ask a bunch of maids to serve you."
"You, you!" Madam Gu sighed, Qi Yantang is such a naive person?Even her stupid son, who had been protected by him for more than ten years, couldn't say such simple words.
"It's a pity that my wife is used to living in the mountains, and she doesn't want to move her nest. She has no big ambitions. Your safety is my greatest hope."
This meant to let go, Qi Gu and the two felt relieved, Qi Yanwei looked at Aunt Gu and Qi Yantang helplessly, and suddenly reached out to grab her brother's hand, she had a premonition, her premonition was always bad and accurate.
Qi Yantang grabbed her small hand with his backhand, rubbed her neatly combed hair, and patted her bloody face even though she still had no flesh:
"Brother going out this time, I will become a general in the future. You will be the general's younger sister. No one will dare to bully you from now on. Then when you are able to marry, I will prepare a large dowry for you. I will ride on the biggest and most beautiful Ma, I will hand you over to him only if that person greets you with red makeup that is more than a dozen miles away..."
"No dowry, no general, no..." Qi Yanwei's fingers were embedded in the back of his hand, her voice faltered, her expression was at a loss.
"Wei'er, be obedient." Qi Yantang forced a smile.
"Wei'er, the man's ambition is everywhere, don't let your brother worry about it." Aunt Gu embraced the little girl, put her head on the top of her forehead, looked deeply at her two boys, and laughed:
"Have you packed your things?"
Gu Anluo straightened his back suddenly. Perhaps at this moment he realized that his mother had a power he had never seen before.He always thought that compared to Qi Yanwei, a little yellow-haired girl, his mother was their biggest resistance, but he had never been a mother, so it was impossible for him to know that the biggest sacrifice of being a parent was not to protect each other all his life, but to grit his teeth and let go.
Qi Yanwei's expression was always numb. She saw her brother say something to Mrs. Gu in detail, and she could figure it out with the strands of her hair, but it was just about taking good care of her.Then she was hugged, her eyes were wide open, and she watched her brother disappear from sight as he stepped back three times.
Those two figures were too small, like bean grains, as if they were about to disappear into the world in an instant.She sobbed as if awake, and broke away from her mother's arms like crazy, crying "Brother!" and rushed all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
All the way the bird was startled, Qi Yantang stopped suddenly, and turned around to catch Qi Yanwei who plunged into his arms with Gu Anluo's sighing expression.
"Brother will come back, it's okay, it's not a big deal, you learn to read well, I'll write to you, and when the battle is over, I'll come back and be with you brother Gu!"
He rubbed her back, and blurted out promises without thinking.Qi Yanwei was trembling hysterically in his arms, he comforted him for a long time but it didn't work, Qi Yantang gritted his teeth and let out a low voice:
"Ver, be obedient!"
Qi Yanwei choked for a moment, and looked at Gu Anluo blankly. He smiled at her, gentle and calm, as if this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy had grown old in an instant.
He told her to be obedient, so she let go.
Eating food that may be equivalent to their lives, paying close attention to all news related to the front line, and then knowing that Qi Yantang and the others became ten commanders as soon as they joined the army.Her brothers were capable, and killed ten people in one shot.
When she found out, she was overjoyed and worried, and then she began to ask her godmother to teach him to sew a safe talisman, which lasted for ten years.
----------
In the 15 years of Qianyue, the domestic wars have been fought for three to five years, and the vitality of the court has been greatly damaged. At this time, a cable reported that the army of the Eastern Tatars would march south in a few days. A piece of ashes.
It was also this year that Qi Yantang's name spread throughout the government and the public.It is said that this kid named Qi Yantang is credited for Dong Da's reconciliation, but it is also heard that his methods are not glorious.But for those in high positions, a black cat is a white cat, and a cat that catches mice is a good cat. Emperor Qing Jing was overjoyed, and with a wave of his imperial pen, he directly sealed this young man under twenty as a general in the army.
This decree can be regarded as conforming to the morale of the army, but they don't know that the war is going on every year, the commander is weak, and the two brothers Qi Yantang already have their own power in the army, but when the imperial decree comes, they still have to go to Beijing to face the saint.This is not the first time Qi Yantang has met Emperor Qing Jing, but it is the first time Qi Yanwei.
True to their promise of the year they joined the army, eight sedan chairs were carried into Taoyuan Village. Gu Mu refused to go to Beijing on the grounds of old age and frailty.
Gold lacquer on the silver top, carved beams and red glass, sister Qi Yanwei is as expensive as her elder brother, and the big sedan chairs are very majestic and majestic.However, this trip turned into a tiger's mouth. Qi Yantang never said clearly that it took Qi Yanwei many years to wake up.
Nanjin Palace, Chaotian Hall:
"Qi...Yantang..." Emperor Qing Jing murmured the name thoughtfully, feeling vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard this name before.
"The end is here!"
"A few days ago, I specially sent someone from your hometown to bring your relatives to Beijing to reunite with you. I didn't inform you in advance. Do you have anything to say?"
Qi Yantang was not taken aback, and replied loudly:
"Thank you Lord Ron."
"It's a pity that your mother is not in good health and cannot come with your sister. Do you blame me?"
"The last general dare not... The last general dares to dare, and I would like to thank His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my younger sister."
"You mean you don't need to thank your sister when she comes?" Emperor Qing Jing suddenly said something strange.
"The last will not dare!"
"You don't dare to be on the left and the other is not on the right. If you don't dare, how can you guard the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles? I have authorized you to dare. After your sister comes, you don't have to come to thank me again!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Emperor Qing Jing suddenly walked down the steps, Qi Yantang's tepid answer made him interested in seeing the young general, and then he finally remembered where he had heard the name "Yantang".
"Since ancient times, a hero was born as a boy, Yan Tang Yan Tang... Yan Tang is a good name, I have also thought about it, I must give this name to a son..."
Qi Yantang's back felt cold, and he quickly replied:
"The last will not dare!"
"Huh?" Emperor Qing Jing glanced at him, Qi Yantang suddenly remembered his will just now, his whole body froze, and he suddenly choked.
Who would have thought that his embarrassment made Emperor Qing Jing laugh out loud, and he patted him on the shoulder:
"Aiqing is a talented young man, he should be a bit energetic, isn't it uncomfortable to always be so restrained?"
Should this be uncomfortable or not?Fortunately, Emperor Qing Jing didn't want his answer, but just threw out a more tricky sentence with an unpredictable expression:
"None of my sons are as accomplished as you. If they have your two-pointed ability, they are worthy of the blessing of their ancestors."
The princes and grandsons standing behind him were all blue when he said this, but they had to smile and even claimed yes.
Qi Yantang had never seen such a battle before, he couldn't help crying in his heart, and hurriedly replied after Emperor Qing Jing finished speaking:
"Your Highnesses, how can you be compared with a countryman like a general? What's more, the royal family has a big heart, and it aims to embrace mountains and seas for thousands of miles. If you are like a general, you can only play with swords and guns. When the flames of war subside, you will be defeated." If you just want to disarm and return to the fields, you will not be able to enter the hall of elegance."
"How could you have escaped so easily?" Emperor Qing Jing joked, but luckily he didn't continue to chase after him.
--------
Qi Yantang paid homage to the general, and there are many dissatisfied people in the army.
One is that his age and qualifications are placed there, and a group of soldiers who are much older than him will naturally feel uncomfortable; the other is that his methods of superiority are too scandalous to speak out.
He was 17 years old that year, and the imperial court had long suffered internal and external troubles.He was used to being vigilant since he was a child, so he was naturally different from his companions who were deceived by lard. Dong Da's more frequent temptations made him anxious.
He has been in the army for five years, and he is brave, fearless and resourceful, not to mention that he and Gu Anluo are perfectly matched on the battlefield.The experience of iron blood and wind and frost made his young face deep and steady, his eyes fixed, and his whole person is even more handsome and extraordinary.
He met a girl who was about the same age as his sister, and just as beautiful and as stubborn.The girl didn't have a name, and she couldn't even be considered as a native of the Central Plains. The frontier fortress had a long history of mixing with ethnic groups. The girl's mother was from Nanjin, but her father was of a different race, so this girl was born with a high nose and deep eyes, making her very pretty.
Her whole family was killed by Eastern Tatar soldiers, Qi Yantang rescued her and named her Yan Xi.
Yan Xi is a fierce girl. Qi Yantang always thinks of Qi Yanwei when he sees her, but he didn't mention this girl when he wrote to her, not a single word.At the beginning, Gu Anluo was happy in his eyes, thinking that this wooden boy had finally opened his mind, but after getting along with him, he felt something was wrong.
Yan Xi has a deep-rooted love for Qi Yantang, and everyone can see it.Qi Yantang treats her well, no matter how difficult life is, he never treats this girl badly when he treats himself badly, Gu Anluo feels that Qi Yantang treats her no worse than Qi Yanwei, the latter has blood relatives, the former really can only use Feelings explained.
However, a year later, Qi Yantang personally gave her to a nobleman who came to the frontier for business. Unsurprisingly, the nobleman was from the Eastern Tatars, and later became a profuse khan from the Eastern Tatars. It is impossible to say whether the Qi family army contributed to the flames, but his The action really made many people feel stuck in their throats.
"I will marry her when we destroy Dongtar."
Gu Anluo stared at him without speaking, and he did not look up, nor did he explain much, Gu Anluo sighed tiredly:
"What if she can't wait until then?"
"...she said she had no regrets."
"What about you?"
"I never lied to her from the beginning."
"What I'm asking is, do you regret, yourself, getting by?"
"One life is exchanged for ten thousand lives, and the conscience of adding this three-two-one-dollar money, just take it, it's worth it."
Gu Anluo took a deep look at him, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Brother is here, if you think it's worth it, then it's worth it, remember what you said, don't make it too difficult for yourself."
Qi Yantang lowered his head, the corners of his eyes were burning red, he gritted his teeth bitterly, thinking of Qi Yanwei, Gu Anluo, their mother, and those brothers who lived and died together in the army, repeating in his heart over and over again: !
The letters between them and Qi Yanwei were sometimes written by him, and sometimes by Gu Anluo, and they stopped and stopped for many years without interruption.Writing about the scenery of the desert, writing about the customs outside the Great Wall, and occasionally commenting on current events, they dare not say too much, and the long-winded articles are all trivial and trivial, and all the few words have no substance, but every piece of paper is Qi Yanwei's treasure.
Qi Yantang became a general, the emperor made her princess, and the maids and mother-in-law hugged her. The grandeur of the mansion was far from comparable to that of the family members' houses they had seen when they were young.The last rebel army in the country was completely suppressed. On the day when the good news came, Emperor Qingjing was overjoyed and pointed her directly to the Bai family.
There are actually quite a few people who have asked the emperor to marry him, but none of them are as sincere as the Bai family.Qi Yantang also doubted the emperor's intentions at the beginning, but all the spies he sent replied that the Bai family had been scholarly for generations, the family background was clean, they had always been neutral in the ruling and opposition parties, and the patriarch was highly respected, and had always been the target of various cliques.
All in all, the Bai family didn't care about the Qi family at that time.So the explanation given was the love of young people, the two fell in love at first sight, Qi Yanwei also said the same, Qi Yantang was sad and helpless, and had to accept the reality that the girl had to marry when she grew up.Immediately pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
However, after many years of peace in the Eastern Tartars, an advance team was finally sent out. It was a bloody battle, and it was more dangerous than outsiders.Although in the eyes of many people in the capital, it was nothing more than a small fight that must be staged every year, Qi Yantang actually missed the wedding of his direct sister because of this, he couldn't be more stupid.
Qi Yantang spread a letter across thousands of miles, saying that it would take the Bai family to red makeup for twenty miles, and walk eighteen steps to pick up his sister. Some people laughed at him as hypocritical to save face, but the Bai family actually did so, and then people praised his family as a descendant. The eldest son is very affectionate, Qi Yanwei is blessed.
People are like this, in the eyes of Qi Yantang and the others, those who sit on high platforms are just clowns, he is just frustrated, he still did not see Qi Yanwei get married in the end.
On the night of Qi Yanwei's wedding, her husband Bai Changjing held her hand and looked at her for a long while before whispering:
"We must have met before."
Qi Yanwei thought for a moment, then shook her head and remained silent.
It's just getting married, Qi Yanwei is far less concerned than Qi Yantang, in her opinion, one home has become two homes, no matter what, no one can tear down her original home.
Regarding the wedding of the Qi and Bai families, outsiders only said that the Qi family was domineering and arrogant, while the Bai family was honest and tolerant, but it was just a joke after dinner, and it was not painful at all. However, no one saw the emperor's smiling face and became more afraid behind him. After Qi Yantang's wild words and the Bai family's compromise, this kind of fear has reached a level that cannot be ignored.
In recent years, he has started to search for immortals and medicines, so it has long been common for everyone to call a few charlatans into the palace overnight.
At the age of 17, Qi Yantang was able to give away the beauty who had raised him for a year and admired him. With such a heart, Emperor Qing Jing could hardly sleep or eat.There was no one in the field, so he asked in a concentrated voice how to deal with a person like "Great Immortal"?
The answer satisfied him. He waited expectantly and anxiously for the Great Immortal to cast a spell. He waited for three months but there was no fart. This was the first time he had doubts about his way of seeking immortality and medicine.
--------
The words in Qi Yantang's letter seemed to be depressing, so when Qi Yanwei wrote back, he carefully described the situation on the wedding day.From the golden-patterned and red-gauze Xiapei to the jeweled phoenix crown, the lifelike mandarin ducks and stalks, the simple and lovely golden boy and jade girl.She told him that she kept all the jewelry and gave them to her sister-in-law when he married his wife, and persuaded Bai Changjing to let her keep the wedding dress and hold another wedding when they triumphed.
When Qi Yantang received the letter, he also received news from Dongtar, but he replied that everything was fine as usual, and he didn't tell her that the person he promised to marry had died on Dongtar Khan's bed. She didn't tell her that on the day she got married, swords clanged, and the blood scab thickened in several layers, fading into blood rust for a long time.
His letters gradually became shorter and shorter, but Qi Yanwei's replaced them with longer and longer ones. He kept more and more things from him, and rumors about him in the imperial city became more and more popular.Qi Yanwei gradually turned a deaf ear to foreign affairs, and just sewed one after another safe talisman at home, some were sent to the front line, but more were still kept at home.
She didn't ask any more questions at first, but said that she didn't care what her brother became, Qi Yantang was her brother, no one could change him, and she would kill anyone who dared to change.
Because she didn't ask, the stone in Qi Yantang's heart was much lighter. Sometimes he didn't have time to reply for a long time, so he didn't tell her that he was injured again and again, and his life was hanging by a thread. He just praised Gu Anluo for his bravery and saved him. Again and again, he praised Gu Anluo's goosebumps, and in the next few letters, he quickly changed people. Gu Anluo poured out bitterness in the letter, accusing Qi Yantang that this kid would only put a high hat on him, and then let him be taken advantage of .
Qi Yantang didn't tell her that he started coughing up blood recently, and he didn't tell anyone.The illness came out of nowhere, and the military doctor was helpless, Qi Yantang secretly had a feeling that his time was approaching, he thought that the blood on his body was too fierce, and he deserved retribution on this occasion.
There are too many things he didn't tell Qi Yanwei, for example, he forced to death a girl with the same beauty as her, for example, he personally ordered the massacre of an entire tribe, for example, he framed his superiors, and used all means to kill the old marshal who was occupying the latrine. Kicking home, for example, he feels that he has sinned a lot, but he dare not tell anyone.
The relationship between Nan Jin and Dong Da became more and more tense, and Qi Yantang's health became weaker and weaker. He often thought that God had punished him with half his life because he was foolish enough to kill him.Relying on his high martial arts skills, no one knows what happened to him.
When Emperor Qing Jing got the news, he was thankful that what he did to Qi Yantang didn't work. It's probably because God knows that this day, he reserved Qi Yantang's life to save Nanjin.
After working for 21 years, he finally reached the point where he could no longer hold on. He was talking about Nanjin, and he was talking about Qi Yantang.
That day, Gu Anluo intercepted a confidential letter, and that night he walked into Qi Yantang's tent with a jug of wine.They chattered a lot, and Gu Anluo laughed and said that he was the person he admired most in his life. Qi Yantang felt uneasy, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to swallow a sip of blood with a sip of wine. He would never refuse in this life He had to swallow the knife alive even if it was presented with his own hands, and Gu Anluo was undoubtedly one of them.
Qi Yantang always felt that he was the one who was sorry for him. Without him, Gu Anluo didn't need to kill people, didn't need to be scheming, and didn't need to support his shoulders firmly when he used those dirty tricks, telling him that he was with him You don't have to be his elder brother, you don't have to worry about him, you don't have to bear the infamy with him, you don't have to go through life and death together.
Perhaps no one would believe that he has always liked ordinary happiness, one-third of an acre of land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, he thought that Gu Anluo must also like it.He will always remember the day when he knocked on his door, the softness and kindness in the young man's eyes, the detachment and liveliness, have almost worn out now.Because of Qi Yantang, he almost gave up everything, his mother, his happiness, and his mother gave up her son, her home.
If Qi Yantang knew that knocking on the door of Gu's house would result in a debt that he would never pay off for the rest of his life, I wonder if he would go back in time and go up that mountain and knock on that door.
Qi Yantang didn't know, he only knew that Gu'an Luo told him to die, he would definitely go without saying anything, if he told him to live, he would grit his teeth and live.
He never felt that he was a very promising person, because his ideas have always been very unpromising.God gave everyone a clam, which was firm, fragile and different. If God hadn't accidentally crushed his clam into pieces, he would have been a soft shell in his life.
Might be able to grow pearls, but that would be a pain.
When Qi Yantang heard the news the next day, only this sentence was in his head, it was so fucking painful.He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, as if vomiting out the last trace of vitality.
One life is exchanged for ten thousand lives, plus the conscience of three or two dollars, it is worth it!
Then it became a prophecy.
When he knew that his life was not long, he felt shamefully relaxed. He lived a life of mediocrity, and was tortured for a lifetime of ups and downs. He couldn't say which kind of life was better or worse, after all, he happened to have lived both.A dying man can always know a lot of things, he didn't know whether he should blame the bastard who got his half soul back because of his troubles, because he was even faintly jealous, envious of the terrible person who didn't know the hunger and war, didn't know the future Bu's panic, living a peaceful and useless self.
But he will soon know that they were cruelly divided into two without knowing it, one is the heavy memory and bitterness, and the other is the real original Qi Yantang.
Qi Yanwei, Gu Anluo, everyone he loves is the hammer in his life that smashed his shells, but he loves them damn, the pain is piercing to the bone, and the love is painful to the heart.
Because Gu Anluo wanted him to live, he gritted his teeth and had to live.
On the eve of the news of the great victory in the border town, Qi Yantang's letter arrived first. The letter was very short, only a few words:
Wei'er, don't wait for your wedding dress.
Qi Yanwei was holding the letter, and the blood-red clothes were spread out on the bed, the golden and silver-patterned phoenix wings were about to fly, and the silk and satin were as soft as water ripples.With a froze expression, she put away her wedding gown at the time of her big wedding with pinched numb fingers, and asked someone to set up a mourning hall in the back room, and then lit a fire, and the whole country seemed to be on fire.
She couldn't see the blood-stained battlefield that day, Gu Anluo's head was lying quietly in the box, the gold and iron horse, scarlet for thousands of miles, the miserable beauty was not inferior to her soft red of a few feet that day, rich and noble.
Qi Yantang thought about what she looked like when she got married, and after that, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
over~
The bamboo basket was full of dewy peach petals, and Gu Anluo looked strange when he saw it:
"Business, it's not enough."
"Top!" Xiao Wei'er seriously corrected, she has been completely brainwashed by Aunt Gu in terms of making a living:
"Dehydrated, pickled in salt and molasses, it's delicious!"
Yes, yes, put "Yan Tang" in...Gu An Luo curled his lips:
"Little girl stuff."
"If there is too much wine, it can be sold for money." Xiao Wei'er calculated carefully.
Gu Anluo sighed:
"You brew and I brew. Everyone is brewing. Who are you selling to? Poor and happy."
Qi Yanwei was speechless for a while, puffed out her cheeks and stared at him, Aunt Gu took the little basket on her back, and slapped her boy:
"If you can't sell it, can't you drink it yourself?"
Gu Anluo smiled:
"Just these two little ones, the flower juice can make them drunk, even the flower wine!"
"Brother Gu, I might have drunk it!" Qi Yanwei pleaded dissatisfied.
"Yo, have you ever had a drink?"
"This...it's impossible to drink in the future!" Seeing her blushing in shame, Gu'an Luo laughed even more presumptuously, and finally made the little girl walk into the house angrily, and Gu Anluo realized it later beg for mercy.
When the peach blossom wine was brewed, he really dedicated all his share to the new little drunkard, only then did he realize that her "may drink" was really sincere.
With spring returning to the earth, Qi Yantang became more and more elusive.The Gu family's mother and son were so worried about their livelihood that they didn't pay attention to the boy's whereabouts for a while. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned home with two big bags of millet.
"Where did it come from?" Gu Anluo widened his eyes.
Qi Yantang's face was full of helplessness, and he concealed his words.
His brother can't be easily fooled, especially after being fooled by him a few times.
Finally he confessed:
"A medicine dealer came to the town, and I went to help him catch snakes."
Gu Anluo became anxious when he heard it, and Qi Yantang hurriedly comforted him:
"You've seen me catch snakes. I'm very good at it. It doesn't matter."
"Don't be tight! Can the frozen snake compare to the rejuvenated snake? Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" He said, really pumping his fist.
Why don't other people go to this kid and go up to him? Such a light and unscrupulous businessman still needs someone to help him?Sometimes Gu Anluo was really pissed off by this kid.
Qi Yantang didn't plan to go again, because the drug dealer had left, so he kept silent, and then made all kinds of unreliable guarantees. Gu Anluo only felt empty in his ears, he knew too well that this kid could How cruel is it.
Although the days were difficult, it was safe anyway. The four members of the family were hungry and full, and ate flower petals to survive the hardest time. They didn't think about giving up anyone, and the relationship grew deeper.
Qi Yantang simply found a diagram of meridians in his spare time, and told the other three people his knowledge of breathing and breathing. He played it vigorously.Even though his teacher couldn't be more conscientious, others seemed to find it difficult to comprehend the aura he described. Aunt Gu was getting old, and this method would also strengthen her body, while Qi Yanwei and Gu Anluo still had some signs of it.
But I don't know if it's because of his strange aptitude or something, he is the only one who is making rapid progress, and his two brothers and sisters are improving slowly, and their bodies are also much stronger.
That is to say, with such a stature, when the famine ravaged Taoyuan Village, everyone looked disheveled and their feet were sloppy, and they could walk like a breeze.
After they settled down, the two brothers and sisters of Qi Yantang showed a little childish vigor, sometimes it made Gu Anluo's teeth itch with hatred, and Xiao Yanwei had never looked at him with such admiring eyes.One day he finally found time to take the two brothers and sisters into the house, under the guise of teaching them some sage's words, but in the end he made a lot of nonsense in exchange for a bunch of questions from these two little things, which he himself would never answer later. I can't justify myself.
This has never happened before. Anyone who can read two characters in Taoyuan Village is a talented person. He has always been the pillar here.But what he was facing was Qi Yantang, and he was subdued by all the fallacies and heresies. In the days that followed, they had one more homework besides martial arts, and this day passed like a year.
However, people are not cows after all, not to mention peach blossoms will be eaten up one day.
At the same time as the government recruited soldiers, they also recruited strong men to build city defenses. They had two corn buns and a bowl of gruel a day. They couldn't eat enough or starve to death, but the risk was extremely high.Finally, this became the last way out for the Gu family.
Gu Anluo originally planned to go by himself, eat a bowl of porridge a day to support himself, and then bring back the wotou to make rations for the old and young at home, but he didn't want to be blocked by the gloomy Qi Yantang when he went out under the moonlight.
He looked helplessly at his cheap brother.
"Am I the brother or are you the brother? Get out of the way."
"Either don't go, or I will go with you."
"Threatening your brother after eating a leopard?!"
"You can try it, Wei'er and Niang didn't sleep deeply."
Gu Anluo's face turned bitter, the two women knew about them, let alone think about it, Qi Yanwei has a shadow on such things, not to mention the ancient mother, she is a mother who would rather starve to death with the whole family than let the little one go out to take risks .
Qi Yantang's mouth was bitter, he also had this plan a few days ago, and only slightly slipped his tongue and hoped that his mother would take care of Wei'er, so Aunt Gu said:
I still have a few ounces of meat on this old bone. If you can earn a stutter, you will never starve to death. When that day comes, my mother kicks her legs and you have to cook the meat for me.What a wall!Just to die, if you dare to go, just step on my dead body!
Gu Anluo had no choice but to compromise.
When the Dongchuang incident happened, it was already done. The two women in the family were not crying and making noises, but instead made the two half-sized men feel close.
Carrying them out every day with thousands of reminders, but the life of repairing the wall is not easy, and being bullied by soldiers is commonplace.Both of them could bear insulting and beating Qi Gu, and they couldn't bear the fatigue of the scorching sun, but they couldn't bear it when those gangsters stretched their hands to the rations they wanted to bring back.
It's not a big deal to punch and kick a military ruffian relying on my own two abilities, but it's not a good thing that the soldier ruffian has some relationship with the ten chief of the county.They came back very early that day, Qi Yanwei mother and daughter were both happy and worried, although the two looked fine, but Qi Yanwei who had lived with Qi Yantang for a long time could still detect some clues.They sneaked into the house on the pretext of taking a bath, closed the door, and hid their doubtful and worried faces outside.
"I think..." There was a table between Qi Yantang and Gu Anluo.
"No!" Gu Anluo interrupted him without thinking.
"I haven't said anything yet." Qi Yantang raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, but I said no."
"We can't hide here, it will bring trouble to Mother and Wei'er."
"...I'll go, you stay."
"Don't think about it."
"I'm brother, listen to me."
"We can't take them away either. There is chaos outside and the famine is still going on. It's useless to run anywhere."
"Hey!" Gu Anluo patted the table:
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Brother, you know I can't let you go alone."
"Can I let you go?" Gu Anluo smiled ugly.
Qi Yantang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear:
"My parents are here, so I don't want to travel far. Aunt Gu only has you as a blood relative. You definitely can't leave."
Gu Anluo suddenly lowered his face, and said coldly:
"Are you going to treat us as relatives?"
Qi Yantang's mouth was full of bitterness, and he didn't reply.Gu Anluo was out of breath and thumped the table vigorously, the door opened in response to the sound, Aunt Gu
He came in with a straight face, followed by Qi Yanwei with an ugly face:
"What did you two bastards do again?"
The two suddenly lost their arrogance just now, and Gu Anluo shrank his neck and said in a low voice:
"Mom, why are you peeking at people taking a bath..."
Aunt Gu slapped him on the forehead:
"You took off my clothes!"
Then she pulled Qi Yanwei to sit down, as if she didn't explain clearly and didn't move.
In fact, they didn't hold back their hands this morning, and accidentally beat the army ruffian who always bullied them half to death.It is rare for them to be so thorny among the tenants who build the wall. Naturally, soldiers who have been arrogant for a long time will not be subdued. Will fight with the army, let alone ordinary people.
Taking advantage of the time when the bastard ran back to call for someone, Gu Anluo and Qi Yantang slipped back with oil on their feet. After calming down, the two half-grown teenagers realized that this was not a long-term solution. But it's the worst.Both of them were thinking along the way, but in the end there was actually only one way, to join the army.
There are several advantages to joining the army: when you become a member of the army, you will be given a sack of food per head. If you live frugally, it will be enough for the whole family to feed for a month; there is also military pay every month, and you can save some on the front line, and maybe you can send some back. , if the entrusted person is reliable; another point is, if you are not a murderer who commits a rebellion, after joining the army, all the crimes will be forgotten.
Besides, their place is small, and I heard that there is an unwritten rule set by the head of a hundred households, the position of the chief of the ten men will be given to the most skilled. Qi Yantang coveted the position of the bully when he thought of joining the army.
There are so many benefits to joining the army. Apart from selling your life, there is nothing unnegotiable. Besides, it is much more cost-effective than selling it to that crazy doctor. As long as you don’t die—his life is so hard, you shouldn’t die, but his brother is different. .
Qi Yantang has always felt that Gu Anluo is different from him. He is a child of a decent family. Even if he can't achieve literary and martial arts in the future, there are many good ways out. He won't get used to the life of wandering. It wasn't that the appearance of him and Qi Yanwei disturbed the peace of their family and increased the family's burden. At his age, he should have lived a lighter life instead of frowning all day, looking like an old man.
Gu Auntie sighed deeply, her sad eyes were like the water in late autumn, she must have been a very beautiful girl when she was young, but she touched the heads of the two boys with her hands wrinkled by time, her eyes couldn't flow The tears turned into reefs, they are ships without eyes, and they will be bloodied at a glance.
Qi Yantang turned his eyes away, and said in a hopeful and innocent tone:
"Mother, I don't want to stay in the village for the rest of my life. Let's not talk about the difficulties of my family and country. I joined the army. It will not be a problem to become a marquis or a general in the future. Then I will lead you to live in a big house and ask a bunch of maids to serve you."
"You, you!" Madam Gu sighed, Qi Yantang is such a naive person?Even her stupid son, who had been protected by him for more than ten years, couldn't say such simple words.
"It's a pity that my wife is used to living in the mountains, and she doesn't want to move her nest. She has no big ambitions. Your safety is my greatest hope."
This meant to let go, Qi Gu and the two felt relieved, Qi Yanwei looked at Aunt Gu and Qi Yantang helplessly, and suddenly reached out to grab her brother's hand, she had a premonition, her premonition was always bad and accurate.
Qi Yantang grabbed her small hand with his backhand, rubbed her neatly combed hair, and patted her bloody face even though she still had no flesh:
"Brother going out this time, I will become a general in the future. You will be the general's younger sister. No one will dare to bully you from now on. Then when you are able to marry, I will prepare a large dowry for you. I will ride on the biggest and most beautiful Ma, I will hand you over to him only if that person greets you with red makeup that is more than a dozen miles away..."
"No dowry, no general, no..." Qi Yanwei's fingers were embedded in the back of his hand, her voice faltered, her expression was at a loss.
"Wei'er, be obedient." Qi Yantang forced a smile.
"Wei'er, the man's ambition is everywhere, don't let your brother worry about it." Aunt Gu embraced the little girl, put her head on the top of her forehead, looked deeply at her two boys, and laughed:
"Have you packed your things?"
Gu Anluo straightened his back suddenly. Perhaps at this moment he realized that his mother had a power he had never seen before.He always thought that compared to Qi Yanwei, a little yellow-haired girl, his mother was their biggest resistance, but he had never been a mother, so it was impossible for him to know that the biggest sacrifice of being a parent was not to protect each other all his life, but to grit his teeth and let go.
Qi Yanwei's expression was always numb. She saw her brother say something to Mrs. Gu in detail, and she could figure it out with the strands of her hair, but it was just about taking good care of her.Then she was hugged, her eyes were wide open, and she watched her brother disappear from sight as he stepped back three times.
Those two figures were too small, like bean grains, as if they were about to disappear into the world in an instant.She sobbed as if awake, and broke away from her mother's arms like crazy, crying "Brother!" and rushed all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
All the way the bird was startled, Qi Yantang stopped suddenly, and turned around to catch Qi Yanwei who plunged into his arms with Gu Anluo's sighing expression.
"Brother will come back, it's okay, it's not a big deal, you learn to read well, I'll write to you, and when the battle is over, I'll come back and be with you brother Gu!"
He rubbed her back, and blurted out promises without thinking.Qi Yanwei was trembling hysterically in his arms, he comforted him for a long time but it didn't work, Qi Yantang gritted his teeth and let out a low voice:
"Ver, be obedient!"
Qi Yanwei choked for a moment, and looked at Gu Anluo blankly. He smiled at her, gentle and calm, as if this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy had grown old in an instant.
He told her to be obedient, so she let go.
Eating food that may be equivalent to their lives, paying close attention to all news related to the front line, and then knowing that Qi Yantang and the others became ten commanders as soon as they joined the army.Her brothers were capable, and killed ten people in one shot.
When she found out, she was overjoyed and worried, and then she began to ask her godmother to teach him to sew a safe talisman, which lasted for ten years.
----------
In the 15 years of Qianyue, the domestic wars have been fought for three to five years, and the vitality of the court has been greatly damaged. At this time, a cable reported that the army of the Eastern Tatars would march south in a few days. A piece of ashes.
It was also this year that Qi Yantang's name spread throughout the government and the public.It is said that this kid named Qi Yantang is credited for Dong Da's reconciliation, but it is also heard that his methods are not glorious.But for those in high positions, a black cat is a white cat, and a cat that catches mice is a good cat. Emperor Qing Jing was overjoyed, and with a wave of his imperial pen, he directly sealed this young man under twenty as a general in the army.
This decree can be regarded as conforming to the morale of the army, but they don't know that the war is going on every year, the commander is weak, and the two brothers Qi Yantang already have their own power in the army, but when the imperial decree comes, they still have to go to Beijing to face the saint.This is not the first time Qi Yantang has met Emperor Qing Jing, but it is the first time Qi Yanwei.
True to their promise of the year they joined the army, eight sedan chairs were carried into Taoyuan Village. Gu Mu refused to go to Beijing on the grounds of old age and frailty.
Gold lacquer on the silver top, carved beams and red glass, sister Qi Yanwei is as expensive as her elder brother, and the big sedan chairs are very majestic and majestic.However, this trip turned into a tiger's mouth. Qi Yantang never said clearly that it took Qi Yanwei many years to wake up.
Nanjin Palace, Chaotian Hall:
"Qi...Yantang..." Emperor Qing Jing murmured the name thoughtfully, feeling vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard this name before.
"The end is here!"
"A few days ago, I specially sent someone from your hometown to bring your relatives to Beijing to reunite with you. I didn't inform you in advance. Do you have anything to say?"
Qi Yantang was not taken aback, and replied loudly:
"Thank you Lord Ron."
"It's a pity that your mother is not in good health and cannot come with your sister. Do you blame me?"
"The last general dare not... The last general dares to dare, and I would like to thank His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my younger sister."
"You mean you don't need to thank your sister when she comes?" Emperor Qing Jing suddenly said something strange.
"The last will not dare!"
"You don't dare to be on the left and the other is not on the right. If you don't dare, how can you guard the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles? I have authorized you to dare. After your sister comes, you don't have to come to thank me again!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Emperor Qing Jing suddenly walked down the steps, Qi Yantang's tepid answer made him interested in seeing the young general, and then he finally remembered where he had heard the name "Yantang".
"Since ancient times, a hero was born as a boy, Yan Tang Yan Tang... Yan Tang is a good name, I have also thought about it, I must give this name to a son..."
Qi Yantang's back felt cold, and he quickly replied:
"The last will not dare!"
"Huh?" Emperor Qing Jing glanced at him, Qi Yantang suddenly remembered his will just now, his whole body froze, and he suddenly choked.
Who would have thought that his embarrassment made Emperor Qing Jing laugh out loud, and he patted him on the shoulder:
"Aiqing is a talented young man, he should be a bit energetic, isn't it uncomfortable to always be so restrained?"
Should this be uncomfortable or not?Fortunately, Emperor Qing Jing didn't want his answer, but just threw out a more tricky sentence with an unpredictable expression:
"None of my sons are as accomplished as you. If they have your two-pointed ability, they are worthy of the blessing of their ancestors."
The princes and grandsons standing behind him were all blue when he said this, but they had to smile and even claimed yes.
Qi Yantang had never seen such a battle before, he couldn't help crying in his heart, and hurriedly replied after Emperor Qing Jing finished speaking:
"Your Highnesses, how can you be compared with a countryman like a general? What's more, the royal family has a big heart, and it aims to embrace mountains and seas for thousands of miles. If you are like a general, you can only play with swords and guns. When the flames of war subside, you will be defeated." If you just want to disarm and return to the fields, you will not be able to enter the hall of elegance."
"How could you have escaped so easily?" Emperor Qing Jing joked, but luckily he didn't continue to chase after him.
--------
Qi Yantang paid homage to the general, and there are many dissatisfied people in the army.
One is that his age and qualifications are placed there, and a group of soldiers who are much older than him will naturally feel uncomfortable; the other is that his methods of superiority are too scandalous to speak out.
He was 17 years old that year, and the imperial court had long suffered internal and external troubles.He was used to being vigilant since he was a child, so he was naturally different from his companions who were deceived by lard. Dong Da's more frequent temptations made him anxious.
He has been in the army for five years, and he is brave, fearless and resourceful, not to mention that he and Gu Anluo are perfectly matched on the battlefield.The experience of iron blood and wind and frost made his young face deep and steady, his eyes fixed, and his whole person is even more handsome and extraordinary.
He met a girl who was about the same age as his sister, and just as beautiful and as stubborn.The girl didn't have a name, and she couldn't even be considered as a native of the Central Plains. The frontier fortress had a long history of mixing with ethnic groups. The girl's mother was from Nanjin, but her father was of a different race, so this girl was born with a high nose and deep eyes, making her very pretty.
Her whole family was killed by Eastern Tatar soldiers, Qi Yantang rescued her and named her Yan Xi.
Yan Xi is a fierce girl. Qi Yantang always thinks of Qi Yanwei when he sees her, but he didn't mention this girl when he wrote to her, not a single word.At the beginning, Gu Anluo was happy in his eyes, thinking that this wooden boy had finally opened his mind, but after getting along with him, he felt something was wrong.
Yan Xi has a deep-rooted love for Qi Yantang, and everyone can see it.Qi Yantang treats her well, no matter how difficult life is, he never treats this girl badly when he treats himself badly, Gu Anluo feels that Qi Yantang treats her no worse than Qi Yanwei, the latter has blood relatives, the former really can only use Feelings explained.
However, a year later, Qi Yantang personally gave her to a nobleman who came to the frontier for business. Unsurprisingly, the nobleman was from the Eastern Tatars, and later became a profuse khan from the Eastern Tatars. It is impossible to say whether the Qi family army contributed to the flames, but his The action really made many people feel stuck in their throats.
"I will marry her when we destroy Dongtar."
Gu Anluo stared at him without speaking, and he did not look up, nor did he explain much, Gu Anluo sighed tiredly:
"What if she can't wait until then?"
"...she said she had no regrets."
"What about you?"
"I never lied to her from the beginning."
"What I'm asking is, do you regret, yourself, getting by?"
"One life is exchanged for ten thousand lives, and the conscience of adding this three-two-one-dollar money, just take it, it's worth it."
Gu Anluo took a deep look at him, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Brother is here, if you think it's worth it, then it's worth it, remember what you said, don't make it too difficult for yourself."
Qi Yantang lowered his head, the corners of his eyes were burning red, he gritted his teeth bitterly, thinking of Qi Yanwei, Gu Anluo, their mother, and those brothers who lived and died together in the army, repeating in his heart over and over again: !
The letters between them and Qi Yanwei were sometimes written by him, and sometimes by Gu Anluo, and they stopped and stopped for many years without interruption.Writing about the scenery of the desert, writing about the customs outside the Great Wall, and occasionally commenting on current events, they dare not say too much, and the long-winded articles are all trivial and trivial, and all the few words have no substance, but every piece of paper is Qi Yanwei's treasure.
Qi Yantang became a general, the emperor made her princess, and the maids and mother-in-law hugged her. The grandeur of the mansion was far from comparable to that of the family members' houses they had seen when they were young.The last rebel army in the country was completely suppressed. On the day when the good news came, Emperor Qingjing was overjoyed and pointed her directly to the Bai family.
There are actually quite a few people who have asked the emperor to marry him, but none of them are as sincere as the Bai family.Qi Yantang also doubted the emperor's intentions at the beginning, but all the spies he sent replied that the Bai family had been scholarly for generations, the family background was clean, they had always been neutral in the ruling and opposition parties, and the patriarch was highly respected, and had always been the target of various cliques.
All in all, the Bai family didn't care about the Qi family at that time.So the explanation given was the love of young people, the two fell in love at first sight, Qi Yanwei also said the same, Qi Yantang was sad and helpless, and had to accept the reality that the girl had to marry when she grew up.Immediately pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
However, after many years of peace in the Eastern Tartars, an advance team was finally sent out. It was a bloody battle, and it was more dangerous than outsiders.Although in the eyes of many people in the capital, it was nothing more than a small fight that must be staged every year, Qi Yantang actually missed the wedding of his direct sister because of this, he couldn't be more stupid.
Qi Yantang spread a letter across thousands of miles, saying that it would take the Bai family to red makeup for twenty miles, and walk eighteen steps to pick up his sister. Some people laughed at him as hypocritical to save face, but the Bai family actually did so, and then people praised his family as a descendant. The eldest son is very affectionate, Qi Yanwei is blessed.
People are like this, in the eyes of Qi Yantang and the others, those who sit on high platforms are just clowns, he is just frustrated, he still did not see Qi Yanwei get married in the end.
On the night of Qi Yanwei's wedding, her husband Bai Changjing held her hand and looked at her for a long while before whispering:
"We must have met before."
Qi Yanwei thought for a moment, then shook her head and remained silent.
It's just getting married, Qi Yanwei is far less concerned than Qi Yantang, in her opinion, one home has become two homes, no matter what, no one can tear down her original home.
Regarding the wedding of the Qi and Bai families, outsiders only said that the Qi family was domineering and arrogant, while the Bai family was honest and tolerant, but it was just a joke after dinner, and it was not painful at all. However, no one saw the emperor's smiling face and became more afraid behind him. After Qi Yantang's wild words and the Bai family's compromise, this kind of fear has reached a level that cannot be ignored.
In recent years, he has started to search for immortals and medicines, so it has long been common for everyone to call a few charlatans into the palace overnight.
At the age of 17, Qi Yantang was able to give away the beauty who had raised him for a year and admired him. With such a heart, Emperor Qing Jing could hardly sleep or eat.There was no one in the field, so he asked in a concentrated voice how to deal with a person like "Great Immortal"?
The answer satisfied him. He waited expectantly and anxiously for the Great Immortal to cast a spell. He waited for three months but there was no fart. This was the first time he had doubts about his way of seeking immortality and medicine.
--------
The words in Qi Yantang's letter seemed to be depressing, so when Qi Yanwei wrote back, he carefully described the situation on the wedding day.From the golden-patterned and red-gauze Xiapei to the jeweled phoenix crown, the lifelike mandarin ducks and stalks, the simple and lovely golden boy and jade girl.She told him that she kept all the jewelry and gave them to her sister-in-law when he married his wife, and persuaded Bai Changjing to let her keep the wedding dress and hold another wedding when they triumphed.
When Qi Yantang received the letter, he also received news from Dongtar, but he replied that everything was fine as usual, and he didn't tell her that the person he promised to marry had died on Dongtar Khan's bed. She didn't tell her that on the day she got married, swords clanged, and the blood scab thickened in several layers, fading into blood rust for a long time.
His letters gradually became shorter and shorter, but Qi Yanwei's replaced them with longer and longer ones. He kept more and more things from him, and rumors about him in the imperial city became more and more popular.Qi Yanwei gradually turned a deaf ear to foreign affairs, and just sewed one after another safe talisman at home, some were sent to the front line, but more were still kept at home.
She didn't ask any more questions at first, but said that she didn't care what her brother became, Qi Yantang was her brother, no one could change him, and she would kill anyone who dared to change.
Because she didn't ask, the stone in Qi Yantang's heart was much lighter. Sometimes he didn't have time to reply for a long time, so he didn't tell her that he was injured again and again, and his life was hanging by a thread. He just praised Gu Anluo for his bravery and saved him. Again and again, he praised Gu Anluo's goosebumps, and in the next few letters, he quickly changed people. Gu Anluo poured out bitterness in the letter, accusing Qi Yantang that this kid would only put a high hat on him, and then let him be taken advantage of .
Qi Yantang didn't tell her that he started coughing up blood recently, and he didn't tell anyone.The illness came out of nowhere, and the military doctor was helpless, Qi Yantang secretly had a feeling that his time was approaching, he thought that the blood on his body was too fierce, and he deserved retribution on this occasion.
There are too many things he didn't tell Qi Yanwei, for example, he forced to death a girl with the same beauty as her, for example, he personally ordered the massacre of an entire tribe, for example, he framed his superiors, and used all means to kill the old marshal who was occupying the latrine. Kicking home, for example, he feels that he has sinned a lot, but he dare not tell anyone.
The relationship between Nan Jin and Dong Da became more and more tense, and Qi Yantang's health became weaker and weaker. He often thought that God had punished him with half his life because he was foolish enough to kill him.Relying on his high martial arts skills, no one knows what happened to him.
When Emperor Qing Jing got the news, he was thankful that what he did to Qi Yantang didn't work. It's probably because God knows that this day, he reserved Qi Yantang's life to save Nanjin.
After working for 21 years, he finally reached the point where he could no longer hold on. He was talking about Nanjin, and he was talking about Qi Yantang.
That day, Gu Anluo intercepted a confidential letter, and that night he walked into Qi Yantang's tent with a jug of wine.They chattered a lot, and Gu Anluo laughed and said that he was the person he admired most in his life. Qi Yantang felt uneasy, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to swallow a sip of blood with a sip of wine. He would never refuse in this life He had to swallow the knife alive even if it was presented with his own hands, and Gu Anluo was undoubtedly one of them.
Qi Yantang always felt that he was the one who was sorry for him. Without him, Gu Anluo didn't need to kill people, didn't need to be scheming, and didn't need to support his shoulders firmly when he used those dirty tricks, telling him that he was with him You don't have to be his elder brother, you don't have to worry about him, you don't have to bear the infamy with him, you don't have to go through life and death together.
Perhaps no one would believe that he has always liked ordinary happiness, one-third of an acre of land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, he thought that Gu Anluo must also like it.He will always remember the day when he knocked on his door, the softness and kindness in the young man's eyes, the detachment and liveliness, have almost worn out now.Because of Qi Yantang, he almost gave up everything, his mother, his happiness, and his mother gave up her son, her home.
If Qi Yantang knew that knocking on the door of Gu's house would result in a debt that he would never pay off for the rest of his life, I wonder if he would go back in time and go up that mountain and knock on that door.
Qi Yantang didn't know, he only knew that Gu'an Luo told him to die, he would definitely go without saying anything, if he told him to live, he would grit his teeth and live.
He never felt that he was a very promising person, because his ideas have always been very unpromising.God gave everyone a clam, which was firm, fragile and different. If God hadn't accidentally crushed his clam into pieces, he would have been a soft shell in his life.
Might be able to grow pearls, but that would be a pain.
When Qi Yantang heard the news the next day, only this sentence was in his head, it was so fucking painful.He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, as if vomiting out the last trace of vitality.
One life is exchanged for ten thousand lives, plus the conscience of three or two dollars, it is worth it!
Then it became a prophecy.
When he knew that his life was not long, he felt shamefully relaxed. He lived a life of mediocrity, and was tortured for a lifetime of ups and downs. He couldn't say which kind of life was better or worse, after all, he happened to have lived both.A dying man can always know a lot of things, he didn't know whether he should blame the bastard who got his half soul back because of his troubles, because he was even faintly jealous, envious of the terrible person who didn't know the hunger and war, didn't know the future Bu's panic, living a peaceful and useless self.
But he will soon know that they were cruelly divided into two without knowing it, one is the heavy memory and bitterness, and the other is the real original Qi Yantang.
Qi Yanwei, Gu Anluo, everyone he loves is the hammer in his life that smashed his shells, but he loves them damn, the pain is piercing to the bone, and the love is painful to the heart.
Because Gu Anluo wanted him to live, he gritted his teeth and had to live.
On the eve of the news of the great victory in the border town, Qi Yantang's letter arrived first. The letter was very short, only a few words:
Wei'er, don't wait for your wedding dress.
Qi Yanwei was holding the letter, and the blood-red clothes were spread out on the bed, the golden and silver-patterned phoenix wings were about to fly, and the silk and satin were as soft as water ripples.With a froze expression, she put away her wedding gown at the time of her big wedding with pinched numb fingers, and asked someone to set up a mourning hall in the back room, and then lit a fire, and the whole country seemed to be on fire.
She couldn't see the blood-stained battlefield that day, Gu Anluo's head was lying quietly in the box, the gold and iron horse, scarlet for thousands of miles, the miserable beauty was not inferior to her soft red of a few feet that day, rich and noble.
Qi Yantang thought about what she looked like when she got married, and after that, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
