That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 53 Why doesn’t a man wear a Wu hook

  The city wall of Qiling Post was repaired overnight, and it could barely be seen that it was a city wall, or a crenel. Gu Qingci woke up early and came to the crenel with the first batch of county soldiers on duty.

   It didn’t snow this night, but it was colder than yesterday.

  Qin Keqing also got up when Gu Qingci got up, almost inseparable, no matter what Gu Qingci was doing, she followed along, making Gu Qingci very helpless, but she was helpless, what a silly girl!

Standing in the cold winter wind, Gu Qingci dressed in white and blended with the sky and the earth. He was quite restless. After standing for a while, he suddenly grabbed a handful of snow and formed a snowball. He threw it everywhere, without using his internal strength, just like an ordinary person, the road under his feet was so slippery that the patrol soldiers stepped on it, and he almost fell down.

   "Master Gu is kind, and he can still be so relaxed at this time."

   At this time, Ning Qing's stinky old man's voice sounded, and Gu Qingci turned his head immediately, and saw Ning Qing hunched over and slowly walked up the crenel, still carrying the knife on his back.

  Qin Keqing also took a look at Ning Qing, but she just took a look, then turned her head, thinking, not knowing what she was thinking.

  Gu Qingci clapped his hands, walked to Ning Qing's side, and said lightly: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, so it doesn't matter whether you live or die tomorrow."

   Ning Qing was slightly taken aback, and said: "Your Excellency is very talented in literature, and if you say it casually, it is a classic handed down from generation to generation, and it is a word that fully expresses the various aspects of life."

Gu Qingci was also stunned, and suddenly realized that there is no poet Li Bai in this world. He said that there is wine today, but Li Taibai's poems, if there are a few more poems learned in the previous life, wouldn't it be to make people laugh? The old man was astonished.

   "It's just picking up people's teeth and wisdom," Gu Qingci looked around the mountains and plains, and said, "Mr. Ning, don't you want to rest more?"

  Ning Qing sighed, and said: "How can I sleep, and I don't know when the Beimo thieves will come. By the way, Mr. Gu, do you have any reply from the scouts you sent out?"

Gu Qingci nodded, and said: "I made a lot of noise yesterday, and Beimo has already noticed that today they did not send people to fight Caogu as usual, but returned to the camp overnight in an emergency. I am afraid that there will be fierce battles today. !"

   "Good job!" Ning Qing snorted coldly, and said, "I'm afraid they won't come, the old man hasn't touched this knife for decades, and he just wants to warm up."

  Gu Qingci touched the jade bone sword on his back, and said: "Yes, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood. I, Gu Qingci, am also waiting for them to come. The city is alive, and the city is dead!"

  Ning Qing's face became more wrinkled, and he said: "Master Gu, you have to pay more attention, any of us can die, but you can't make mistakes now, otherwise, who will protect this Changling County?"

"I…"

At this moment, Gu Qingci suddenly saw a wisp of thick smoke slowly rising in the distance, it was wolf smoke, billowing wolf smoke rose into the sky, Ning Qing also widened his eyes in horror at this time, turned his head and looked straight at the past, Staring blankly into the distance.

Gu Qingci immediately took two steps forward, looking suddenly, he had already arranged for people to prepare two beacon towers ten miles away from Qiling Station yesterday. The place he chose was a hill, just far away from the wall of Qiling Station. Looking at each other, at this time, the beacon tower was raging, and in the distance, the winding city wall extended to the depths of the grassland, and there were still a few sparks shining.

He looked to the other side, and at this moment, the beacon tower also ignited a raging fire with a bang, and the fire was fierce, and then the beacon tower on the ridge farther to the west was also lit. Passed further afield.

  Gu Qingci narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head slowly, just in time to see Qin Keqing. At this moment, Qin Keqing looked at him indifferently, his eyes were very calm, but he also opened his mouth and said: "The people from Beimo are here."

  Gu Qingci swallowed his saliva, he is a little excited now, because he has never seen the beacon fire, but he has heard of it countless times, so he naturally knows what it means to light the beacon tower. To him, the ferocity and savagery of the people in the northern desert was just like yesterday's perception of corpses strewn across the field, a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

  He slowly untied the Jade Bone Sword from his back, held it in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"

  The county soldiers on the city wall were all shocked, holding the spears in their hands tightly, shining in the cold wind, very cold.

There was an old man holding a knife and standing on the city wall, but Xiao Suo's back seemed so persistent. The desolate snow reflected his rolling hatred. Decades of hatred—his name is Ning Qing!

   Gu Qingci and Ning Qing looked at each other, and went down the city wall with their swords in hand.

  …

  Qiling Station, the gates of the city are closed at this time, and the nearby residents have already been arranged to leave, or have been massacred. Except for the county soldiers, there are no other idlers, and the order is not chaotic.

The little prince of Beimo, Meng Ge, has been wandering in the northern part of the Xia Kingdom for a long time, and there has been no major movement. It was not until the last few days that he started to fight in Caogu, and he did not decide when to start directly. Come to Qiling Station.

In fact, over the years, the Beimo army has often appeared on the border of Xia Kingdom, and occasionally killed people, but most of the time they dared not directly attack a pass like Qilingyi. The ability of this kind of siege equipment is only for looting, and it will not attack the city at the risk of huge casualties.

But this time, it was different. This was Bei Mo's long-planned plan. The little prince Mengge came with the vanguard himself. Gu Qingci also knew that the matter was serious and he had to respond as soon as possible. The sword went down the city wall.

  Of course it is impossible to run away, just to command, he needs to arrange.

  Although Pang Shilong was a county magistrate, although he was muddleheaded, he was a soldier after all. When he heard the news that the Beimo army was coming, he hurried out of the tent without even finishing his meal.

  He appeared in front of Gu Qingci vigorously and resolutely.

Gu Qingci doesn't know how to fight. After all, he has never participated in this kind of battle, no matter in his past or present life. He can only hand over the command to Pang Shilong. choose.

However, Gu Qingci didn't know that Pang Shilong's job was his old profession, so he immediately sent scouts to get in touch with the scouts to inquire about further news, and at the same time sent people to rush to start mobilizing troops, and Zhou Shi sent people to inform Ma Shilian to bring the crossbow team up The city wall was broken, ready to go to the city to support at any time.

Gu Qingci was stunned by the sidelines. To be honest, these days, Pang Shilong has always followed his orders when he dealt with big and small affairs every day. Except for martial arts, he seems to be useless. Although Gu Qingci is using Pang Shilong, he looks down on Pang Shilong in his heart. Unexpectedly, he handled the war in an orderly manner at this time.

  Everything was arranged. Gu Qingci stood in the snow with his long sword out of its sheath. He looked coldly at the Beimo army that had already appeared, and said indifferently, "Why don't you take the Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan!"

   Thank you all book friends for your recommendation tickets, your support makes me feel that I am no longer a stand-alone player, and I am full of motivation!
