Chapter 1 Rebirth

The snow this year was particularly heavy, and the silver snow covered the entire capital city.

Perhaps it was because of the biting cold or some other reason, there was no one outside on the street.

If it were the same as in previous years, it would snow in the capital, which would be enough for the people to ignore the cold and enjoy this rare snow scene.

However, the streets were quiet to the point of death at this moment, and the streets and alleys that should have been pure white were now brightly colored red and white. There were also several people lying on the ground with bruises on their faces, letting the heavy snow hit them wantonly, motionless. If someone came over to take a closer look, they would know that these people were dead!

It makes the already eerily quiet capital city even more terrifying and weird.

"Pfft..."

The knife stabbed deep into the lungs.

Gu Junqing, wearing only a black undershirt, knelt on the ground covered with snow and water. The temperature in the forest was particularly cold because of several heavy snowfalls in recent days. She finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, with dark red blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. Her knees were numb and she didn't feel any pain. Her slender body was shaking physiologically because of the cold weather and the fact that she only had one or two pieces of clothes on.

In front of her stood a man in his forties. He was wearing a Beijing blue shirt with a hint of green, a dark flesh-colored gold belt with a pattern of young actors tied around his waist, and a snow-white scarf made of the finest fox fur. He had long flowing hair, a pair of delicate eyes, and obvious fine lines at the corners of his eyes. He looked like a decent and kind person.

However, the man's eyes were sinister and his face was full of gloom, which ruined such a good appearance. He looked at Gu Junqing lying on the ground, his tone full of impatience and disgust:

"Gu Junqing! You are still stubborn even when you are about to die. Have you forgotten the fate of all 211 people in your general's mansion being executed a few days ago?"

"Tell me quickly! Where did you hide the other half of the military token?!"

Gu Junqing could hear the impatience and disgust in the man's tone, including the words he said that were enough to make her want to stand up and cut him into pieces. But she was helpless because she had just fought with the other four people and she had barely killed them. Now she was too weak to move.

She could only look at the man with red eyes and fierce eyes. Her voice was weak but it was filled with the cold murderous intent that only a veteran could have, as well as the undisguised hatred. She spoke each word with tears in her eyes:

"Prince An, you formed an alliance with the three great families, attempted to rebel, deceived the emperor, created a plague, killed innocent people in the city, harmed my fellow countrymen, and killed my soldiers. Each and every one of these is a crime worthy of death and unforgivable!"

"Even if I die now, I will not let you traitors succeed!"

After saying that, he mustered up the last bit of strength in his body and took out the scimitar that had been hidden in his sleeve for a long time. The tip of the knife was slightly blunt, and the blood on the blade had dried and turned brown. It was obviously not a hidden weapon that a general should have.

Indeed, she had found this scimitar from a jailer when she escaped from the prison, and she had used it to protect herself in the current situation.

Gu Junqing, who had used up all the strength he had gained from fighting on the battlefields for half his life and fighting the enemy desperately, ran towards the man.

She suddenly stabbed Prince An in the left chest with the scimitar in her hand.

Unfortunately, his health was not as good as before, so Prince An dodged the attack easily. The man subconsciously took out the knife in his hand and stabbed towards Gu Junqing, hitting him right in the heart!

A second before the man stabbed her heart, Gu Junqing's eyes were fixed, and with swift and unstoppable force, she held the scimitar tightly in her hand, and with cold sweat dripping down, she stabbed towards Prince An's left chest again despite the pain. This time, Prince An was caught off guard and just dodged slightly, but he failed to avoid it and was stabbed by her just below the heart!

Both of them widened their eyes. Unlike Prince An's furious and vicious look, Gu Junqing's was one of regret.

Prince An looked at Gu Junqing lying on the ground, and his eyes widened a little. He was furious and annoyed. After all, he was dead, so how could he find the military talisman? Or, where could he find it?

Blood was slowly flowing from his chest. Looking back on this short life, Gu Junqing stared with his eyes fixed. In the first half of his life, he fought on the battlefield and made great achievements. All the people in the world praised General Weiyuan of the Great Qi for his bravery, courage and strategy!

It wasn't until the later banquet that everything changed...

Besides that, no one knew that General Weiyuan of the Great Qi had spent half his life in the military, but underneath the layers of cold armor, he had a curvy and soft figure. That's right, Gu Junqing was a woman, a woman who had been disguised as a man for 19 years and had not been discovered by the world.

However, it now seems that it will be made public after her death.

Gu Junqing opened his eyes with hatred, his eyes were full of unwillingness and hatred, but there was a hint of subtle gloom at the corners of his mouth.

He spent half his life on the battlefield, no one cared after his death, all his family members died, the emperor was seriously ill, the aristocratic Prince An was rampantly forcing the emperor to abdicate, and now the capital of Daqi was in danger, as well as those innocent people who died tragically...

Die with eyes wide open, that must be what it means.

Gu Junqing, the famous general of the Qi Dynasty who once amazed the world, died in a hasty exit, in the wilderness, due to the complicated conspiracy of various forces, family feuds and royal family disputes. It is really shocking and a bit regrettable that he died with his eyes open.

One of the courtyards in the general's mansion is called Qingzhu Courtyard.

On the couch, Gu Junqing, wearing a white undershirt, closed his eyes tightly, sweat kept beading on his forehead, his lips were pale, and his hands were tightly clenched on a corner of the thin quilt, as if he was having a nightmare.

The maid Qing He, squatting beside the couch, frowned, worry in her eyes:

"General, he has been like this since he returned to Da Qi. It's already the third day and tomorrow is the return banquet. Why hasn't he gotten better yet?"

The man in blue standing there was also worried, and his tone was a little angry, saying: "What a quack, he said the general would wake up today, but now he looks no different from a few days ago..."

Before she finished her words, Gu Junqing suddenly opened her eyes, with a look of hostility and cruelty that she had not often displayed before. Qingyi and Qinghe were startled by her look when they saw her, then they reacted and hurried over to ask.

"General!"

"What do you think, General?"

Two different voices sounded at the same time. Gu Junqing subconsciously looked up and saw Qing Yi and Qing He. Her pupils shrank, and she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

Qingyi Qinghe...

what happened? !

Didn't Qingyi die at the banquet? And Qinghe died at the hands of Princess An because she was trying to protect the secret of being a woman disguised as a man...

Now it is...

"General, what's wrong with you? Something doesn't feel right?"

Looking at Qingyi's still young and pretty face, who was now in her prime, young and beautiful, Gu Junqing suddenly came to his senses.

wrong!

If this was a dream, it couldn't be so real!

Is she reborn?!

Gu Junqing stood up and, ignoring the calls of Qingyi and Qinghe behind her, was about to step out of the room when she thought of something and paused. She picked up the red cloak that was placed on the chaise longue, and after making sure that she was covered tightly, she pushed open the gate.

What he saw was Nanny Chen's disapproving look.

Gu Junqing was stunned.

"Mommy..."

Nanny Chen looked at Gu Junqing in front of her, a young general praised by everyone in the world. However, in her eyes, except for dressing up as a man, she knew everything a man could do, but her life was a mess and she was ignorant of everything. In the end, she was also a noble girl who needed to be taken care of and worried about.

However, seeing Gu Junqing just wearing a cloak and going out, Nanny Chen frowned and said with some disapproval:

"General, when you are out in the field, don't be so reckless. It is best to be cautious. If you look like this now, it is inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will see you."

Nanny Chen was reminding her that she was now a woman dressed as a man and must not be discovered by anyone with ulterior motives, and must not be careless. Gu Junqing looked at Nanny Chen in front of her and lowered her eyes, as if she was listening carefully to Nanny Chen's instructions, but in fact, she was trying to better hide the shock and sadness in her eyes.

During that plague, Nanny Chen was infected with the plague because she was trying to protect herself, and there is no cure for it.

Gu Junqing could only watch as Nanny Chen, who had grown up with him and taught him, became thinner and thinner, letting her slowly feel the pain of life passing away, but he had no way to solve the pain.

Gu Junqing was still lost in thought. Nanny Chen looked at her absent-mindedly and thought she was thinking about something else, so she couldn't help asking:

"General? What are your plans for the banquet tomorrow?"

Gu Junqing came back to his senses immediately, and his eyes were filled with a hint of hostility.

Return to the court banquet...
