Chapter 47: I have a sword, I walk in the world
A seventy-year-old man, a great practitioner, and a kind-hearted person were kneeling in front of him. Tang Yun wanted to refuse, but could not speak. She wanted to agree, but she was not sure. But she was a princess, a princess of Daxia. She could neither stay in danger nor stand by. Therefore, she was very confused and confused now. When she suddenly heard someone asking for a meeting, she did not hesitate at all and immediately received the meeting.
The one who came in was a woman with light steps, like a lotus growing step by step, elegant and indifferent temperament, and her appearance was even more exquisite and impeccable. Even if she was a woman, she was also very beautiful, and as proud as Tang Yun, she had to admit that she was a very perfect woman.
The woman was wearing a long robe, with slender fingers, and her eyebrows were picturesque, with red phoenix eyes and peach blossom eyes, narrow and charming, and her skin was as white as jade. She had a standard beauty and melon-shaped face, and was extremely handsome and a lady of a noble family, but she was wearing a sword on the left side of her waist. Although she had a scabbard, she was chilled, and her expression was noble but not arrogant.
The woman in the robe walked up to Tang Yun, bowed and said in a voice like an oriole: "Qianxiufang disciple Qingyi, who has seen His Royal Highness the Princess, takes the liberty to bother, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
Tang Yun's expression was as usual, without any waves, but she was a little surprised. Qixiufang is one of the seven sects and eight sects in the world, and one of the three most powerful and rare female sects in the world. Looking at the woman in front of her, she has a strange temperament and a good identity, so I don't know why she appeared here.
Tang Yun nodded and said, "What's the matter with the girl in ignorant Qing Dynasty looking for me?"
Qingyi looked at Ning Qing, who was still kneeling on the ground without any trace, with a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes, and then looked at Tang Yun and said, "I am entrusted by Gu Qingci, Lord Gu, and I will give the princess a few words."
"Gu Qingci!" Tang Yun murmured and said in confusion: "What did he say?"
"Mr. Gu said that he knew that the princess was very disgusted with him, but hoped that the princess would take a risk for the sake of the thousands of people and personally went to Weicheng to seek reinforcements. Mr. Gu also said that if he could survive by chance, he would resign from his public office and never step into the court again!"
Tang Yun felt a turbulent after hearing Qingyi's words. She knew very well that Gu Qingci's current situation was unpredictable. If he really succeeded and did not die, he would definitely rise to the top in the future. But he was willing to give up this opportunity to make a name for himself just to do something that was beneficial to the people but meaningless to him.
Tang Yun felt very uncomfortable. She didn't know what to say. She originally hated Gu Qingci. After all, Gu Qingci repeatedly hit her and even insulted her. She did not take her as a princess seriously at all. She has been loved by many people since childhood. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?
She had always thought that when she returned to the capital, Gu Qingci would regret it, but then Ning Qing's words were like a hammer, constantly pounding her heart, making her more and more upset.
Now, Gu Qingci is so selfless that she feels not qualified to judge such a good official who is rare in thousands of years.
After a long time, Tang Yun slowly recovered, sighed long and said, "If my officials in Daxia are like Lord Gu, why not be afraid of a mere northern desert?"
Qing Yishen nodded with consent, "Mr. Gu and I are also friends of life and death. He is a true gentleman and is dedicated to the people. Maybe the princess has some misunderstandings about him, but I know that Master Gu's thoughts have always been practicing the words of the saints today."
Tang Yun frowned and said in confusion: "I wonder if it was my father's words?"
"A year ago, Your Majesty personally took the palace examination in the Golden Palace. Lord Gu was one of the students. At that time, Your Majesty only had one sentence: water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. People are noble and gentle!"
Qingyi continued: "This is what Lord Gu said to me in person. He said that he also hopes that the princess can remember this sentence."
The room was very quiet, and Qingyi said nothing at this point, while Tang Yun was silent for a long time because of the uproar of his heart. In the end, Ning Qing sighed and broke the silence. He said: "Princess, the old minister is guilty. He almost killed a pillar of the country by mistake. I have been reborn as a loyal person for myself. I have never thought that I will be beaten up by a young man who is only 10 years old!"
Tang Yun looked at Ning Qing in confusion.
Ning Qing continued: "I used to think that Lord Gu was disrespectful to the princess, which was disloyal to the royal family and disloyal to the country. Now I understand that I have only been a little loyalty in my life, but Lord Gu has already understood what true loyalty is. He is the county magistrate. What he needs is to make a life for the people of a county and offend the princess. He is willing to do so. This is the true loyalty to the country. I... am not as good as him!"
Ning Qing's words fell into Tang Yun's ears, but they were deeply engraved in her heart. The fearless young face suddenly appeared in her mind. She suddenly felt that this face was so clear and resolute, and that figure stood in the world as if standing tall.
Tang Yun stood up and said firmly: "Mr. Gu is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, and he can be so open and honest. As a princess, how can I escape in the face of the battle? Weicheng is in the dragon pond and tiger den, and I will go!"
When Ning Qing heard this, he was very happy. He kowtowed on the ground and said, "Old minister thanked His Highness the Princess for the sake of the thousands of people!"
When Qingyi saw Tang Yun agreeing, she nodded secretly and said, "Mr. Gu once told me that women should be as good as men, so that they will not be in vain for a walk in the world. Since the princess is not afraid of her daughter, Qingyi, I, is willing to escort all the way to Master Gu's painstaking efforts."
Tang Yun and Ning Qing both had their eyes lit up. What they were most worried about now was that no one was escorting them. Since there were people from Qixiufang escorting them now, it would be much safer.
...
The south wind was still blowing, and Gu Qingci faced the north wind, and his whip whipped the horse's butt and headed north. The sword on his back was wrapped in a piece of blue cloth, and there was also a sword wrapped in white cloth. The wind became heavier and louder, and the two pieces of cloth were whistled by the wind, sticking to many snowflakes, and then blowing down by the wind. The wind became heavier and he rolled up thousands of snowflakes, gradually blurring his figure. There was only a sound of horse hooves of the "Ta Tower", which were gradually drowned by the sound of wind and snow.
He led his soldiers to Qilingyi and came to Qilingyi. He saw two or three villages full of corpses, with no living silence. He didn't say a word along the way, just rushing forward and all the way to a hillside.
There is a village below, but at this moment, blood and flesh are flying everywhere, fires are scattered, and shrill screams are heard one after another, mixed with the laughter of soldiers from the Northern Desert, which is simply hell on earth.
Gu Qingci's face was colder than Han Bing. He took the sword off his back, drew the sword out of his sheath, his eyes were red, and he shouted hysterically in the face of the wind and snow: "Kill me, no one left!"
