Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets
Chapter 242: The Origin of Tianji Village
Xin Mufei finally left Gong Jiuqing.
Everything was so unexpected, unprepared, and unreal as if it was just a nightmare.
Gong Jiuqing regretted why she didn't see through Chi Xia's plot earlier, why she didn't go to find Xin Mufei earlier, why she tolerated Xin Mufei's departure.
In fact, Gong Jiuqing is really selfish, he knew Xin Mufei's thoughts for him very early on.But he pretended not to know.Disguised himself as a fool, invisible to reject Xin Mufei, but did not let Xin Mufei's freedom.
It's the same for Gu Moming, and it's the same for Feng Poyun...
Selfish, really selfish.
If he could do it all over again, shouldn't he tell Xin Mufei his thoughts earlier, and if he refuses earlier, there will be no further incidents?
All these words were confided to Gu Moqian when Gong Jiuqing was drunk.
Gu Moqian didn't say anything, just hugged Gong Jiuqing, patted him on the back, and lent him his shoulder to let him vent.
It's really like what Xin Mufei said, he really looks like a bitch...
After getting drunk that night, Gong Jiuqing decided to send troops to attack Chi Xia.
No revenge, no emotions.
Even though everyone thought that Gong Jiuqing was angry because of Xin Mufei's death, Gong Jiuqing was really not.
Gong Jiuqing just saw through some things...
In previous wars, soldiers would die, but with so many soldiers, Gong Jiuqing's impression of them was only a number and a group of lives.Sentiment, compassion, sympathy.The emotions limited to this made Gong Jiuqing shake his position.
Because no one around him died, he couldn't truly feel the pain of his loved ones leaving because of the war.
He has never thought about how painful it is for the person he cares about to leave him, until Xin Mufei...
That kind of pain, that kind of despair, that kind of self-blame made Gong Jiuqing wish to exchange her own life for Xin Mufei's.
War is really cruel.
Gong Jiuqing decided not to wait any longer, not to be afraid, and not to waver.
Chi Xia must be taken.
……
And Chi Xia didn't expect that things would develop into such a situation. She was full of confidence at first, but she didn't want such an accident to happen.
Chi Xia already had insufficient military supplies earlier, but now, in order to sneak attack Yunfeng County, he did not hesitate to break the boat and pack lightly.
Before they even had time to escape back to Chixia, they were completely defeated by the army led by Gu Moqian himself.
The Seventh Prince of Chixia, Nangumu, and Duan Tianheng, the Chixia national teacher, were captured alive. The number of prisoners of the Chixia army reached 1, and all of them were sent to the neighboring city of Yunfeng County to open up wasteland and farm.
During the capture of Nangumu and Duan Tianheng, Gong Jiuqing never showed up, and seemed to care nothing about their affairs.
Only Gu Moqian negotiated with Nangumu, asking Nangumu to pay 50 dans of grain in exchange for his life.
Gu Moqian believes that with so many princes in Chixia, and now that Chixia's country is in short supply of food, even if Chixia can provide 50 dans of food, it will never be used on one prince.
Because there are too many princes in Chixia, there are not many Nangumu, and there are not many Nangumu.
Obviously, Nangumu also knew his status.
In this era of continuous wars, a dignified prince is not even worth 50 dans of food.Nangumu wanted to laugh at himself, but at the same time he was very lucky because he was able to produce so much food.
So Gu Moqian was negotiating with Nangumu, not Chixia.
And Nangumu said that he is willing to give 100 million dans of grain and 50 taels of gold, so that Gu Moqian can help him ascend the throne.
When Gong Jiuqing heard this condition, she immediately nodded and agreed.
Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, why didn't they agree.It can not only get food, but also disturb Chixia Chaogang.
But Gong Jiuqing didn't understand, Nangumu was not stupid, it was impossible for him not to see that Nanhui was determined to win Chixia.Even if the covenant is finally reached and he becomes the emperor, the final result is only the emperor of a dependent country.
A dependent country, even if it is the emperor, so what?
Gu Moqian just kissed Gong Jiuqing's forehead lightly, and said lightly: "Being in the royal family, it seems to be put into a cage from birth. Becoming emperor seems to be an instinct. Even if you know that position is no longer glorious , even if you know it will destroy the country, you will not hesitate."
Gong Jiuqing frowned and said, "It's really scary."
Gu Moqian hugged Gong Jiuqing and said, "Yes. It's like a nightmare that I can never wake up from. Fortunately, I have you, so I can wake up. But not everyone can wake up. Come."
As for Duan Tianheng, after he was captured for half a month, Gong Jiuqing finally went to see him in the prison.
Duan Tianheng seemed to be getting older again, looking a little slumped, but his eyes were still bright.
The people below opened the cell door, Gong Jiuqing also looked around, although it was a cell, it was still clean.
Duan Tianheng sat in front of a small table, on which were placed two rough bowls and a pot with a broken spout.Everything is so simple, but Duan Tianheng is really so calm.It is as calm as greeting guests in your own home.
"Sit." Duan Tianheng stretched out his hand, signaling Gong Jiuqing to take a seat, and then poured him a bowl of water.
Gong Jiuqing didn't drink, but she still sat down and said, "I'll let Gu Moqian let you go."
Duan Tianheng smiled and shook his head, "Your heart is still so soft."
"You told me, counselors, to seek the affairs of the world. Since it is a matter of the world, there is no personal right or wrong. Therefore, you have your position, and you are right."
"It seems that you have seen a lot of things again."
Gong Jiuqing nodded and said: "Yes, I thought I saw it before, but I didn't."
Duan Tianheng smiled and said: "You have always been very smart, besides your good memory, you can see things that we can't see."
Gong Jiuqing did not answer this topic, but said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to take you back."
Duan Tianheng shook his head.
"Don't want to go back?"
"I want to, but I can't go back."
"why?"
"Contaminated with the world of mortals, if you are not at peace, you can't go back."
"I don't understand."
"Not everything can be understood by people. If they can understand it, then he is not a human being."
"Do you regret it?"
Duan Tianheng was slightly taken aback, raised his head, and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking and remembering.
"Do not."
"why."
"do not know."
"..."
"Xiao Jiu, do you want to restore your memory?" Duan Tianheng asked suddenly.
Gong Jiuqing shook her head. "Recovery, it can be like this again, but it will only increase troubles."
Duan Tianheng smiled and said, "Indeed."
"In the Chixia Dynasty, are there still those clansmen? Tongcang, Guixiu, Lingxu, and even Nanhui, how many are there?"
"Is that why you came to see me?"
"No." Gong Jiuqing looked at Duan Tianheng with clear eyes, without any fear, and his eyes were calm.
Duan Tianheng laughed, laughing that Gong Jiuqing hadn't changed at all, and laughing that Gong Jiuqing had become even more sophisticated.Although contradictory, it is not contradictory.
"Everyone knows that the Tianji Clan knows the secrets of heaven and can predict the future. In fact, the Tianji Clan is actually a small country that declined hundreds of years ago."
Gong Jiuqing was slightly taken aback.
"Just like now, hundreds of years ago, not only the five countries, but also many more countries were submerged under the horseshoe of war. Our ancestors were originally a country that advocated divination, and their military strength was weak, so they naturally became others. Zhong Yurou was torn apart during the great war, and finally survived. The Tianji Village was established to educate future generations to take back our world one day. So hundreds of years have passed, and those who are inspired to take back the world are left with only Endless books, and methods of calculation."
Gong Jiuqing never knew that there was such a history. "This is the real truth? Therefore, Ruan Haopei's seizure of Lingxu's throne was not due to personal greed..."
"Maybe, maybe not, maybe both."
"Tianji Village keeps cultivating talents and sending them to other countries. The purpose is to disintegrate countries from within, provoke wars, and take back the country that Tianji Village lost?"
"almost."
Gong Jiuqing frowned, and Gong Jiuqing could hear the Arabian Nights for a second time.Of course, the first time was the story told by Xu Mo.
Duan Tianheng explained: "More than 100 years ago, the great momentum was about to be achieved, but it was not expected to be discovered. So the five countries joined forces to eradicate Tianji Village."
"Why was it discovered?"
Gong Jiuqing asked very rationally. Since Tianji Village has continuously imported to the imperial courts of various countries for hundreds of years, it should have a deep foundation. Why was it still discovered?Even discovered that the entire Tianji Mountain was going to be set on fire?
Duan Tianheng smiled helplessly: "Because of the Nanhui Monarch at that time."
Gong Jiuqing was obviously puzzled.
Duan Tianheng smiled and said: "People, you can't have feelings, especially love. Once you have love, you will be used by others, and you can't see yourself clearly, let alone everything around you."
This point, Gong Jiuqing understands.
For the latter, naturally, Duan Tianheng doesn't need to say much. A smart person like Gong Jiuqing can also make up his mind.It's just that he didn't expect to know such a thing in the end.
"I'm very confused now. I don't know if what you said is true or a lie." Gong Jiuqing said lightly.
Duan Tianheng smiled and said: "What I said to you today is true."
"Can I trust you?"
"You can trust me as a teacher today, but in the future... unless you are in the officialdom, you can trust me as a teacher."
Gong Jiuqing stood up, bowed deeply to Duan Tianheng, and said: "Tomorrow, someone will send Master back to Tianji Mountain." After speaking, she walked out the door.
Duan Tianheng asked: "What about you? Do you think he will be with you?"
Gong Jiuqing paused, did not turn around, but nodded and said: "Yes."
Duan Tianheng looked at Gong Jiuqing's back and sighed slightly...
……
……
Everything was so unexpected, unprepared, and unreal as if it was just a nightmare.
Gong Jiuqing regretted why she didn't see through Chi Xia's plot earlier, why she didn't go to find Xin Mufei earlier, why she tolerated Xin Mufei's departure.
