true identity

Chapter56

In the clear autumn season, the cave behind the waterfall is still dry and cold.The angry Gongsun Ming rushed away, and Zhao Ci stayed inside like revenge, screaming that he couldn't respond every day.After yelling for a long time, Zhao Ci simply sat back on the futon angrily and thought: Could he still let me stay inside for a night?

Grasping Gongsun Ming's weakness, Zhao Ci, who was at ease when he came, simply lay down on the table and took a nap.

He was relaxed and relaxed, but he didn't know that the front hall of Hanfeng Mountain had already become a mess.

Zhao Yan was sitting on the high seat of the conference hall under Gongsun Xiang's order. She twisted her body a little uneasily, and looked around at the people lined up neatly below.The front seats have been vacant since childhood. Qin Ke and Gongsun Xiang usually sit on the side seats to meet old ministers and discuss major issues, while Zhao Ci and Zhao Yan sometimes sit on the After sideways.Today, for the first time, Gongsun Xiang asked Zhao Yan to sit in the front seat, and she felt a little uncomfortable. The soft cloud-like cushion seemed to be full of nails, which made her restless.

Liu Lin stood beside her and looked straight ahead: "Young master."

Her voice was gentle and soft but could not be mistaken, just one sentence made Zhao Yan put on a decent smile and sit on the chair with her back straight.

Gongsun Xiang sat on the other side and watched Qin Ke walking from the long road reserved in the middle road.She lightly clenched her fists leaning on the armrest of the chair, her eyes fixed on the person in front.The four seasons of Hanfeng Mountain are gorgeous and beautiful, but the mountain wind is harsh, which wrinkled the lines at the corners of their eyes, whitened their black hair at the temples, and also blown away the figures they had approached.The good times when they were young are gone forever, and they are now strangers.

She used to be too much and unwilling, why did Zhao Yue's great plan to restore the country that he had planned so hard and solitary failed without a fight.Zhao Yue did not tell the answer, she saw the answer from the innocent child.

because of love.

He was excited when he met his opponent, and according to his usual personality, he would have to learn from each other even if he died at the same time, but once he had concerns and fetters, no matter how small the casualty was, it would be unbearable.

In the past, she only had him in her eyes, and he was all her world, so she was puzzled and regretful.Now that she has everyone in her heart, she has also become a loser who retreats.But she loves it.Swordsman was formed by the abandoned girls she picked up one after another on the road. She raised them up like an elder sister and mother, and she harvested a group of lovely girls with her hard work.The original intention of Gongsun Xiang to teach them martial arts is to make them healthy and fearless, not to let these moving flowers die under the hard and cold sticks and swords because of her.

A familiar voice of greeting came from under the seat, and Gongsun Xiang put on a faint smile, thinking: there will be a farewell.

Qin Ke lowered his clasped hands and said to Zhao Yan, "Yan'er is being mischievous again today, why are you sitting on the main seat, you are not yet old enough." Zhao Yan's birthday is not over yet and she has not yet reached the age, so according to the rules, she cannot become the young master.

Gongsun Xiang replied: "I let her sit."

The meeting hall was very large, her voice was neither high nor low, and it happened to be able to reach all corners, getting into everyone's ears so that everyone could hear clearly.

This response was unexpected and reasonable, who else could make Zhao Yan take the lead besides her.

Qin Ke put away the smile on his lips: "You want to break the rules?"

Gongsun Xiang said: "The rules should be adapted to the times, not to mention that Yan'er is our young master, unless you want to break the system."

"What do you mean?" Qin Ke lowered his gaze.The scars on his face were already terrifying, but once he sank his face looked even more unhuman.

"What I mean is—" Gongsun Xiang stood up: "We have lived in Hanfeng Mountain for decades, and we have always claimed to be nurturing people since Zhao Yue passed away. Now we should re-understand our identity and who is the master?" Who is the slave."

Zhao Yan, who was sitting next to her, was stopped by Liu Lin as soon as she moved. The latter shook her head at Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan was a little anxious.She never wanted to be their master. Gongsun Xiang and Qin Ke have treated her like a mother and father since they realized it.Although people often speak bad things about Qin Ke in her ears, she can truly understand that Qin Ke's kindness to her is not mixed with interests.Qin Ke is sometimes ruthless, and he is unreasonably harsh to Zhao Ci and Gongsun Ming, but he is really good to her.Zhao Yan doesn't want to be a young master, let alone their master.

"Oh." Qin Ke said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but you have forgotten our mission all along." Zhao Yue's will dissipated in the confusion, and he was told to restore the country and assist Zhao Yue when he was young, but Zhao Yue Yue is dead.He waited for Zhao Yan to grow up, until his hair was gray, and now he finally contacted all the former ministers of the old country, gathered all the forces he could find, and gathered the resources that could compete with Xiao Tingchuan to fight against him, but he was told by his companions long gone.

Ignoring their hostile gazes, Qin Ke took a step forward and stretched out his hand: "I have found the forces of the old general Murong and others who escorted the princess away back then, and also colluded with Xiao Tingchuan's courtiers. The mines in Dongyang Village have given me infinite money. , The brothels all over the country of Xiao brought me endless news. Xianger, there is hope for our country to be restored, and you can go with me to fulfill Zhao Yue's dream."

"After defeating Xiao Tingchuan, Yan'er will be able to become the empress and be as famous as her grandmother. We can also justify the name of Princess Jingshu and let the world know how dangerous Xiao Heng is. Afterwards, Zhao Yan will have countless silk, satin, emerald treasures and jade. , you will also get the vast training ground you dream of.” Qin Ke has a deep voice, and when he comes, he can make you half asleep and half awake to weave the most beautiful dreams.

"Yan'er doesn't want to be a queen." Zhao Yan's clear voice like an oriole broke everyone's dream scene at once.

Gongsun Xiang immediately came back to her senses, she was ashamed of the scene she had just immersed in.The result is beautiful, but not to mention the hardships of the process, she was angry at Qin Ke's tricks against her, she turned her head and refused bitterly: "Yan'er is our master, we must respect her wishes, since She doesn't want to be a queen and we don't want to force her. Qin Ke, you can always remember the last wishes of my father and Zhao Yue. I really admire and respect you, but you shouldn't force others to obey. Once the emperor and the courtiers, now Zhao Yan is our young master, we should follow her wishes first."

"You want to give up?" Qin Ke couldn't bear to accuse Zhao Yan of sabotage, and he was sincerely disappointed by Gongsun Xiang's answer.After getting along for many years, he has actually noticed Gongsun Xiang's intention to retire, but he feels that it is one thing to put it bluntly and another thing. Now that Gongsun Xiang reveals his heart, he is really sad.After Zhao Yue's death, only he and Gongsun Xiang were left to fight together. He didn't think that the self-righteous companionship was an illusion. When he turned his head, he found that there was no one around him.

"It's us." Gongsun Xiang took a step back, sat down and took Zhao Yan's hand. She didn't dare to look into Qin Ke's eyes. "If you are willing to retire to the mountains and forests with us, that's good, but if you still want to fight Xiao Tingchuan to the death, then Yan'er and I can only go away."

"Gongsun Xiang, if you are used to living a comfortable life and want to be a deserter, I will allow you to leave. But you must give me Zhao Yan." The other party has decided to go and he doesn't want to keep too much, talking is useless, Qin Ke walked towards Zhao Yan.

Liu Lin stepped forward to block Zhao Yan, sheathing her sharp sword.

"I'm afraid this is what you really mean." Qin Ke narrowed his eyes, and just as he finished speaking, the guards who followed him showed their weapons.Both camps raised their swords, and the atmosphere froze to freezing point.

Ge Dong smiled and acted as a peacemaker: "Sister Gongsun, why are you so tense. We watched Zhao Yan grow up. Would she still bully her as a little girl? Miss Liu's posture is a bit insulting."

Liu Lin ignored him.

Ge Dong rubbed his chubby double chin and said awkwardly: "It's really insulting."

"Inflict humiliation on yourself."

Zhao Yan stood up in surprise: "Brother Gongsun." Gongsun Xiang frowned, and she was relieved to observe that there was no Zhao Ci behind Gongsunming.Qin Ke's return to Hanfeng Mountain today was what she expected, so she greeted Gongsun Ming in advance and asked him to arrange Zhao Ci.After all, Zhao Ci lost his memory and forgot his martial arts, so it would only be more dangerous if he appeared here.

Gongsun Ming appeared in the meeting hall, followed by a group of swordsman girls, and the blue and white clothes added a touch of color to the entire dull environment.

"Gongsun Ming, do you think you will change a lot when you come?" Qin Ke sneered.

Gongsun Ming stood beside Zhao Yan: "Whether it can be changed or not, I have to ask the sword in my hand." He picked up the sword in his hand, and pointed at Qin Ke under the steps at the same time as the swordsman behind him.

"It seems that you have planned today." I didn't expect that the first thing to do when I returned to Hanfeng Mountain was to be invited into the urn. Qin Ketan sighed and turned to Gongsunming: "Where is Zhao Ci, I know he is back. Why don't you come out on this big day?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Gongsun Ming said.Zhao Ci, who has forgotten his martial arts, is absolutely incapable of flying out of the waterfall by himself. Only a few people know the cave behind the waterfall, and Gongsun clearly believes that he is safe and sound.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that would be a pity. We were going to give him a big gift." Ge Dong dragged his chubby body and walked lightly to Qin Ke's side.

"What gift?" Zhao Yan poked her head out from Gongsun Ming's side before being pushed back by Tao Tao.

Qin Ke put his hands behind his back, facing the dozens of sharp swords in front of him without fear.

Ge Dong clapped his hands with a smile, and immediately someone dragged out a person from behind and threw him on the open space in the middle.

The man's complexion was pale, and his embroidered costume was as dusty and lost its original color, his lips were so dry that his skin was peeling, his eyes were closed tightly and he lost consciousness.Even the description of being down and out can't make people ignore his handsome face, but it's a pity that his brows are frowning, which seems to be sad, and people can't help but wonder what is bothering him.

Gongsun Xiang and Zhao Yan looked at the people on the ground strangely.

Gongsun Ming gritted his teeth and stared at him silently.

Suddenly Zhao Ci's voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads.Zhao Ci, who was so wet, opened the curtain and cursed: "Gongsun Ming, you big bastard, you actually abandoned me—" His voice stopped abruptly when he saw the person on the ground, he was stunned in disbelief, The voice murmured to himself: "Jiang Yanyi?"
