"Are you sure there is this kind of grass in the back hill of your home?"
Xuanping Hou asked.
His tone was more serious than ever.
"No." Chang Jing lied.
Marquis Xuanping nodded: "Okay, do you go back by yourself, or shall I take you back?"
Chang Jing: "I said no."
Xuanping Hou continued his plan: "Or write to your father directly, saying that I tied you up and asked him to exchange comfrey?"
Chang Jing: "I didn't have a mountain in the back of my house... I just said it wrong... "
Marquis Xuanping shook his head: "Forget it, Dark Night Island is remote, and ordinary spies can't find its entrance, so I'll go there myself."
Chang Jing: "..."
The little vest dropped as soon as he said it, and Bai fed Zhu Zhangkuang a poison.
The Marquis of Xuanping said, "Go and pack your things and leave tomorrow morning."
Chang Jing went to the next door resentfully.
Gu Jiao asked Marquis Xuanping: "By the way, what happened to Chang Jing? Do you know that he is the Young Sect Master of Dark Night Sect?"
Xuanping Hou said with a headache: "I only knew, I heard from the swordsman next to Gongsun Yu. When I met him on the side of the road, he was so dirty and hungry that his chest was on his back. I asked him where his home was. , he didn't say it, I let him go with me, he quit at first, and later... won him a few times."
Chang Jing had martial arts skills, and Marquis Xuanping didn't think he was a child of an ordinary family, but he kept silent about his identity, and Marquis Xuanping thought he was being hunted by an enemy.
Xuanping Marquis asked Gu Jiao, "You seem to have known it for a long time?" Hearing Dark Night Island, he was not surprised at all.
Gu Jiao said truthfully: "When I first came to Yan Kingdom, I followed Nangong Li to a pawnshop, overheard his conversation with his confidant, and learned Chang Jing's identity."
Xuanping Marquis looked at Ye Qing who was beside him: "The people of Dark Night Island seem to have had some contacts with the National Master Hall of Yan Kingdom."
The Sect Master of the Dark Night Gate also visited the Guoshi Hall in person, and was received by the King of Yan State along the way.
Ye Qing said: "My master does have some friendship with the island owner of Dark Night Island. If General Xiao does not dislike it, I would like to go to Dark Night Island with you."
Marquis Xuanping "abducted" his son, and now he comes to ask for medicine, and he will naturally not agree easily. There are disciples of the National Teacher's Hall who are dealing with it, and the conflicts will be resolved a lot.
Chang Jing angrily packed his things.
Xuanping Hou walked in, glanced at him, and asked lightly, "You don't want to go back that much?"
Chang Jing was heartbroken.
After finally running away from home, he had to be locked up by his father when he returned.
Xuanping Hou said: "If your father bullies you, I will beat him for you."
Chang Jing said without hesitation, "That won't work."
His father was annoying, but he couldn't let people bully his father.
When Xuanping Hou heard this, he understood that Chang Jing had no principled conflict with his family, and was just a rebellious young man.
"Forget it, you better beat it." Chang Jing sighed and said, "You can't beat it anyway."
Xuanping Hou: "..."
The matter of going to Dark Night Island was settled like this. In order to let Chang Jing willingly lead the way, Xuanping Hou finally bought him a box of glazed marbles that he had coveted for a long time.
The road to Dark Night Island is not easy to walk, especially when winter is coming, it is very likely to encounter a powerful blizzard when crossing the ice sheet.
Chang Jing said: "After entering October, my father will not allow people on the island to travel."
Because it is too dangerous, manpower is not worth mentioning in the face of natural disasters.
"We have to cross the ice field north of Dayan before the blizzard comes. If you bring your son, it will be too late."
Therefore, Shangguan Qing could not go with him.
Xuanping Hou responded: "Okay."
Chang Jing reminded: "But it's very dangerous to come back. Even if my father is willing to give you those weeds, you happen to be in time for November and December, when the snowstorm ravages the ice field."
"I know." Xuanping Hou did not hesitate at all, "You and Ye Qing stay on Dark Night Island, I will come back first."
Chang Jing was surprised: "Do you want to cross the ice field in a month? You can't cross it!"
In fact, even if many masters travel together, they are still unable to resist the bad weather on the ice sheet.
It was rare for Marquis Xuanping to be less serious than usual, and he said firmly: "The antidote is in my hands, and I can walk through it."
Twenty years ago, he failed to save Xiao Qing.
This time, even if he shatters his body, he will bring the antidote back to his son.
Chang Jing had already understood what had happened. He glanced at Marquis Xuanping and said, "Isn't it not necessarily an antidote? It might also poison him to death."
Is it worth it for an indeterminate result
Xuanping Hou went to say goodbye to Gu Jiao: "... take care of Qing'er."
It's the tone of please.
"I will." Gu Jiao said, "Did you really decide to go?"
Marquis Xuanping said sternly, "Leave tomorrow morning."
He made up his mind, and Gu Jiao stopped persuading him: "Then I will pack some emergency medicines for you."
Xuanping Hou did not refuse.
Gu Jiao opened the small medicine box, took out emergency medical supplies such as frostbite cream, anti-inflammatory drugs, iodophor, gauze, etc., packed it in a bag, and sent it to Ye Qing.
"Remember to remove the stitches after three days." Gu Jiao said.
Ye Qing was slightly stunned: "General Xiao was injured?"
Gu Jiao snorted and said, "I was stabbed by Gongsun Yu, and the incision was quite deep. Four stitches were needed."
Going to Dark Night Island like this is really worthless.
Ye Qing sighed and took the burden: "I wrote it down."
Gu Jiao instructed: "Good life to heal him, he is my husband's father."
"Oh." Ye Qing responded subconsciously.
I suddenly realized what was going on!
Your husband's father
Are you not a man? How do you have a partner
What the hell is this!
…
Before dawn, the three of Xuanping Hou set off, and they will pass through Pucheng on the way to Dark Night Island.
Xuanping Hou went to Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Qing to say goodbye.
Shangguanqing fell asleep, Xuanping Hou did not wake him up, but only said a few words to Shangguanyan.
The two stood in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, speaking very softly.
Shangguan Yan asked, "Are you going to look for purple grass for Qing'er?"
The Marquis of Xuanping said: "The comfrey poison is the only solution. Although it may not be successful, it is better than doing nothing."
On this point, Shangguan Yan and Xuanping Hou are of the same opinion, as long as there is one in ten thousand hope, it is worth a try.
Shangguan Yan looked at him for a moment: "Where are you going to find it? Will it be dangerous?"
Xuanping Hou Feng said calmly: "There is no danger in the north, but it is a little far away, and it is inconvenient to bring Qing'er."
Shangguan Yan is not easy to fool.
Shangguan Qing was in danger, and he would collapse one day. It was the safest to take him to find an antidote.
And Xiao Ji didn't take him, it showed that the danger level on the road was fatal.
Seeing that she was silent, Marquis Xuanping smiled and said, "If you hurry, I will be back next month. Tell Qing'er not to worry."
Shangguan Yan looked at him deeply, her lips moved slightly, she hesitated, and finally she just said, "Take care on the road."
Xuanping Houli turned over and mounted his horse.
Shangguan Yan turned his head and turned his back.
"Shangguanyan." Xuanping Hou suddenly said.
Shangguan Yan's steps stopped.
Neither of them looked back.
In the cold wind, she heard him sigh softly.
"It's not worth it to cry for a man like me."
…
After Jin lost two cities in a row, the fourth emperor's son went on an expedition on behalf of the emperor, which revitalized the morale of the Jin army. During another battle, the Jin army fought a beautiful turnaround and saved the third one that was attacked by Wang Man's troops. Border City.
Wang Man was shot through the shoulder by an arrow from the Jin army and was seriously injured.
Lichen only rested for a day, and then put on armor again.
He took Wang Man's place and led the imperial army to continue fighting against the Jin army.
Daoist Qingfeng also came to the front line.
Before organizing the attack, Liao Chen threw him a suit of armor.
"Put it on." Lu Chen said lightly, "Aren't you going to kill me? Then you'd better not get hurt."
Qingfeng Daochang frowned: "I don't wear other people's armor."
Liechen put his hands behind his back, and Taohua's eyes were pale: "It's new, no one has worn it."
The old is in the dust.
The dusty armor was broken, and his stature was taller than the average soldier. There was an old set of armor and a new set of armor suitable for him in the camp.
mid-October.
The 50,000 Gu family troops of Zhao State passed through Dayan and arrived at the border of the Western Frontier, approaching Qiuyang Pass of Jin State.
The arrival of the Gu family's iron cavalry relieved a little pressure on the black wind cavalry who was always rushing in the front line.
Gu Changqing strongly urged his sister to retreat to Quyang City and leave the task of sieging the city to him.
Gu Jiao led Heifengqi, who had been fighting for a month, back to the Quyang camp, and Shangguan Qing was also brought back to Quyang by her.
At the end of October, the allied army of the State of Zhao and State of Chen arrived at the Weishui Pass of the State of Jin.
At the same time, the Turks in the north of Jin were also ready to move.
The Jin Kingdom was attacked by the enemy on both sides, and the morale accumulated by the Fourth Prince's expedition on behalf of the Emperor was almost exhausted.
Good news came one after another from the front line. The troops of several countries entered the hinterland of Jin all the way, and they had occupied Cangzhou and Yunzhou, and they were going to take Jizhou in a few days.
In November, Quyang City ushered in winter, and thick snow fell on the camp.
Gu Jiao carried a wooden bucket to the well to draw water.
The troops were all dispatched, and there were not enough people in the camp. She usually took care of such trivial matters.
Master Hu wanted to help him, but his strength was not as strong as Gu Jiao's.
Gu Jiao threw the bucket into the well, and was about to turn it up after pouring water, when she found that the axle was frozen.
The sound of footsteps stepping on the snow came from behind.
At this time, only Master Hu will follow.
Gu Jiao stretched out her hand: "Give me a dagger."
The other party handed her a very delicate dagger.
Gu Jiao's brain was frozen, and she didn't pay attention to the dagger's shell for a while.
There is a faint residual warmth on the dagger.
So warm.
She snapped the ice off the axle.
"Here." She returned the dagger to Master Hu.
She turned the bucket up, and just as she was about to reach out to pick it up, a slender hand as long as jade reached over and grabbed the handle of the bucket one step ahead of her.
This action made the other party suddenly get very close to her.
Her back was almost pressed against the hot chest of the other party, and a familiar fragrance and breath enveloped her, she turned around in a daze, and bumped into a pair of gentle eyebrows unexpectedly.
He slightly raised the corners of his lips, and his magnetic voice was low and clean: "Gu Jiaojiao, long time no see."
