A breeze came from outside the window, like an invisible hand flipping the pages of the book. There were copybooks on the desk. The seal on the above words Xiao Yuhe, as if bright red and ice blood were dazzling. Meng Qi sat quietly, shining with the glow of light, reflecting on the pale and haggard face.

The maid gently closed the window, and the breeze stopped suddenly. She said, "Your Highness, the morning is a bit cool, don't catch a cold."

Meng Qi looked like a puppet. After a while, she turned around in a daze, looked at the maid, and whispered: "How is the situation? Why did the father send someone to pick up Yu?"

Silent, a little desolate.

There were only three people in the embassy, ​​and there were only two people in this room. People from the past never existed, and the dilapidated walls had not been restored. The ruins all over the ground were so messy. For several days, Meng Qi was quietly in the room. Every time the maid came in, her first words were asked by Xiao Yuhe. In the past few days, she had realized what life was like a year.

The maid sighed softly and replied: "Your Highness, the time is too short, I'm afraid your Majesty has not made a reply yet, and......"

"What else?" Meng Qi asked hurriedly.

"I heard that Gu Qingci is back!" said the maid.

Meng Qi suddenly felt weak and collapsed on the ground, with her eyes blank, and murmured: "He is not dead, how could he not die? Gu Qingci is a narrow-minded person and will definitely retaliate against his grudges. He will definitely kill Yu He..."

Meng Qi stood up and muttered, "No, no, I want to kill him, I can't let him live! No..."

The maid hurriedly grabbed Meng Qi and said, "Your Highness, your highness, calm down. It would be useless to go to Gu Qingci now. What's more, we can't leave the embassy now. Even if we leave the embassy, ​​we can't beat Gu Qingci!"

The haggard person always relies on the last little spiritual strength to support him. When the last trace of expectation disappears, it is like water breaking through the dam. Meng Qi's body softens, kneels on the ground, and bursts into tears.

"Why is this happening, why is this happening? I'm sorry Yu He..."

…………

On the streets of Chang'an City, there was a handsome young man holding a folding fan and walking slowly. An old man followed him and walked through the street. The young man suddenly smiled and said, "Old Mr. Lu, do you think Linyuan Cave Heaven and the royal family of Yan this time have suffered a great loss?"

Lu Ming smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Linyuan Dongtian and the Yan Kingdom royal family were originally a strong alliance this time. If Meng Qi hadn't been smart, even if they lost the Allied Conference, they would not have lost. It would be a pity..."

"It's a pity that woman has big breasts and no brains. I really don't know how such an idiot lives so big in the royal family!" Wu Yu sneered and said, "Today's Xia Kingdom court is probably lively. With Gu Qingci's temper, Xiao Yuhe may really not be able to withstand this time."

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily the case. Xiao Yu is the heir of Linyuan Cave Heaven. Linyuan Cave Heaven cannot sit idly by."

"It makes sense," Wu Yu nodded and said, "It's a pity that I can't go and see it myself. I really want to see Gu Qingci's performance in the court."

…………

Outside Chang'an City, an old Taoist priest walked over slowly and stood in front of the world's No. 1 city. He slowly raised his head and muttered: "For so many years, this Chang'an City has become more and more prosperous. Mr. Wuque, can you allow me to enter the city?"

The breeze blew, coming and going, there were many people coming into and out of the city, but no one noticed the old Taoist priest who was touching his beard outside the city wall. The old Taoist priest didn't look at anyone, as if he was talking to himself, but he was asking.

"Can!"

A little vicissitudes of sound came from the wind.

The old Taoist priest nodded and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Wuque."

In the late spring and early summer of the 16th year of Tiance, Guqiao, the grandson of the seven sects and eight sects in the world, came to the capital of Xia Kingdom.

…………

At the same time, a young man in white was slowly stepped into the palace outside the Golden Palace of Xia Kingdom. The civil and military officials in the court quietly looked at the young man. As the young man walked in step by step, the sunlight spread into the palace inch by inch.

Gu Qingci ignored the various gazes projected. He knew that there were appreciation, doubts, speculations, helplessness, and jealousy. There were too many emotions, but they had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Xia was also looking at Gu Qingci. Looking at the young man in front of him with the same temperament, he felt a sense of feeling that time was passing by and he was slowly getting older.

"My memory, Gu Qingci, please see the emperor." Gu Qingci held the etiquette.

"Don't give me a favor!" Emperor Xia said in a deep voice.

Gu Qingci stood up straight and said loudly: "I, three days ago, I was assassinated by the Yan State mission and almost died. Now the evidence is conclusive. I ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me and give me a fairness."

Gu Qingci met Emperor Xia last night. It was the request of Emperor Xia to come to court today. Later, when he met Mr. Wuque, he also knew about Xiao Yuhe's current situation, and he was more clear about the various reactions of these people in the court when the evidence was conclusive.

Emperor Xia looked at Gu Qingci, pondered for a moment, and said, "Gu Aiqing, you are the victim of this matter. I want to hear your opinion."

Gu Qingci took a step and was about to speak when the young master Qi Hui suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please allow the old minister to say a few words to Gu County."

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Accurate!"

Gu Qingci looked at the old but energetic old man, and said with a polite manner: "Mr. Qi doesn't know what advice he has, so I'll listen carefully."

Qi Hui bowed and said, "I don't dare to give advice. I just want to ask Mr. Gu a few questions."

Gu Qingci sneered in his heart. What happened in the court these days when he disappeared was told by Mr. Wuque last night. He naturally knew what Qi Hui stands, and he also knew that Qi Hui would stand up at this time and would be another war of words.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingci couldn't help but look over to the Censorate. The Censor named Lu Youzun also happened to look at Gu Qingci and nodded at Gu Qingci.

Qi Hui sorted out the court uniform and asked, "Mr. Gu is a hero of my Xia Kingdom. He once went to Changling County to protect the people of Daxia in Daxia. He was not afraid of hardships. I don't know, but now, do you still remember the original intention at that time?"

Gu Qingci nodded slightly and said, "As a native of Daxia, you must have Daxia bones. Qingci will never forget those good men who sacrificed for me Daxia, and they dare not forget their instructions to me."

"Okay," Qi Hui nodded and said, "Mr. Gu is willing to sacrifice for the sake of the country and the people, and it deserves the respect of all Chinese students. Then I ask Gu County. Your second question. Since you have never forgotten your original intention, are you willing to compromise you and benefit the people of the entire Xia Kingdom?"

Gu Qingci looked at Qi Hui very seriously, looking very carefully, his eyes were as if he wanted to see Qi Hui through. A trace of news appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking or joking, but he just didn't say anything, and he didn't say a word. After reading for a long time, he remained silent.

The civil and military officials in the court were a little confused and did not understand what Gu Qingci was going to do. Lu Youzun, opposite Gu Qingci, breathed a sigh of relief. Since Qi Hui asked Gu Qingci two questions in a row, he was slightly worried, because Gu Qingci seemed to be led by Qi Hui.

Lu Youzon was not very old and was also a young man. When he first learned about Gu Qingci, he was a little dissatisfied and even had the idea of ​​competing with Gu Qingci, but the two had never had the chance to meet. Later, Gu Qingci entered Beijing with a high profile, but he had no idea.

Literary people have been despised since ancient times.

However, when the reason why Gu Qingci entered Beijing was exposed, Lu Youzun gave up the thought in his heart. He watched Gu Qingci win honor for the sacrificed soldiers in the court, and also saw Gu Qingci's determination to disdain power. At that moment, his passion was also ignited.

He is the censor and he is the censor. They have their own backbone and discuss things at the right time. He hopes that Gu Qingci can treat the fairly good things he deserves. However, he also knows that although Gu Qingci does nothing, he has touched too many people's interests, and Qi Hui is just a representative.

He was worried that Gu Qingci would be led into a dead end by Qi Hui, but when Gu Qingci suddenly stopped talking, he remembered that Gu Qingci's argument was not weak, and he had expressed it for a moment at the Liyuan Poetry Conference a few days ago.

…………

Qi Hui was stared at by Gu Qingci very unnaturally, and his face gradually became serious, and he said a little angrily: "Gu County, is there any flowers on my face? It's worth your exploration like this?"

Gu Qingci smiled faintly and said, "I was just wondering whether Lord Qi wants to say that I am wronged and choose to turn a blind eye to my assassination and let others ride on my head to shit, because if I am serious, Daxia will have a conflict with Yan State, and it is likely that war will start. I will not be devastated and the people of the world will suffer innocent harm. Therefore, I should turn big things into small things and small things into small things. Then, if someone comes to kill me, I will say with a smile, "Please don't mind small things, small things? Oh, by the way, I have killed several of them. Do I still have to kneel down to apologize, or commit suicide to seek forgiveness? Lord Qi, do you want to say this?"

As Gu Qingci said, Qi Hui's old face became colder and colder, gradually becoming ashen, and finally said angrily: "Nonsense, when did I mean this? Gu County, don't distort my meaning!"

Gu Qingci smiled and said, "Then, Lord Qi might as well continue to say what you mean, so listen carefully!"

Qi Hui was so angry that his beard was almost floating. He stared at Gu Qingci with a sign language. He suddenly didn't know what to say. Fortunately, at this time, a Zhongshu Ling stood up with a smile, pulled Qi Hui away, and said, "Gu County, Gu County, don't get me wrong. Lord Qi means you are fine now, aren't you okay now? There is no need to make too much trouble. If you can minimize the trouble, you will definitely compensate you. However, the prince consort of Yan cannot be killed!"

Gu Qingci looked at the Secretariat Ling, turned around and looked at Qi Hui, and said coldly: "Mr. Qi, do you mean this?"

"Hmph," Qi Hui snorted coldly and said, "You have nothing big to do now, why bother to be serious? If you really fight with Yan State, how much trouble will the whole country cause because of you alone? You are wronged by the people of the world. You don't want to do this little thing. What qualifications are you to be a clean official and what qualifications are you to stand in this court?"

Gu Qingci nodded as if it were true and said slowly: "Mr. Qi is indeed noble and noble. Listening to your words, I am better than reading for ten years. I admire you. I think you are right. I should really be wronged for the sake of the people of the world. Well, what you said makes sense."

Qi Hui was surprised, and all the civil and military officials in the court were confused. For some reason, Gu Qingci suddenly changed the direction of the wind and was silent for a moment.

Qi Hui was also a little confused. Looking at Gu Qingci, he couldn't say a lot of words. After a while, he slowly said: "Since Gu County has this awareness, it's naturally better."

Emperor Xia frowned and looked at Gu Qingci in confusion. In his heart, Gu Qingci was not such a easy-to-talk person, otherwise he would not have tried his best to keep him in the capital.

Sure enough, Gu Qingci spoke again and said with a sneer: "Everyone has heard that Lord Qi is a noble and honest official. I think if he faces the same situation as he is below, he will definitely sacrifice himself to fulfill his own self."

Qi Hui felt a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Gu Qingci and said, "Gu Countyzi, what do you want to say?"

"It's nothing," Gu Qingci shrugged and said, "I said a long time ago that my essence is not an official, but a man from the martial arts world. I think everyone knows that I am a martial artist, but many people may not know that the martial arts I practice are closely related to my state of mind and cannot bear grievances. Once I get grievances, I will become a big devil who will kill everyone when I see them."

Gu Qingci turned around slowly and continued, "Mr. Qi, I have to let me learn from him and be a dog licking dog in Yan State. I didn't want to do it, but he insisted on kidnapping with morality and said that if I don't surrender, it would be a waste of the people in the world. I have no choice but to choose indifferent for the people in the world that he said, and choose to let the people of Yan State step on my head and ask me for some paper!"

Everyone in the court listened quietly to Gu Qingci's words, while Qi Hui's face became darker and darker, but Gu Qingci continued to say, "I feel very wronged now, but I don't want to be a big devil, I can only vent. The best way to vent may be to kill people. Who should I kill, then I can only kill those who make me feel depressed. However, if Lord Qi doesn't allow me to touch the people of Yan State, then I can only move him. I will go to his house to kill people with a sword later. If no one is left, kill people when you see them, and vent it well. In this way, I will not become a big devil and will not hurt ordinary people. I think Lord Qi is so noble and will definitely be willing to sacrifice himself and the ego for the people of the world."

Gu Qingci slowly turned his head to look at Qi Hui and sneered: "Right, Lord Qi!"

…………

"You, you..." Qi Hui was so angry that his old face turned blue and red, as if he was performing a change of face. He almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. He was hurriedly supported by others so that he did not fall.

Gu Qingci still maintained a gentle smile and said, "Why did Lord Qi react like this? Isn't this a very glorious thing? You sacrificed your ego and fulfilled your ego. This is what you taught me. I have agreed. I think Lord Qi must be very happy in his heart. This kind of glorious honor also gives you the honor."

Qi Hui pointed at Gu Qingci, with a lot of words in his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only curse angrily: "Zhu Zi..."

Seeing Qi Hui's appearance, the Grand Tutor Yang Zhengming couldn't stand it anymore, so he slowly stood up and said, "Gu County, you are a bit too much. Lord Qi is a second-rank official of the Xia Kingdom. How could you threaten him with your martial arts?"

"Haha," Gu Qingci smiled sarcastically, looked at Yang Zhengming, and said, "Mr. Yang is really a mature person. He threw all the questions to me in one sentence. Then I would like to ask Lord Yang, why didn't you speak when Qi Hui kidnapped me morally? Could it be that he is from Xia, I am not? Or is he nobler than me? Or can he represent the people of the world?"

Yang Zhengming showed calmness and said lightly: "Mr. Gu, we can't take things out of context. You are threatening to be naked, and Lord Qi is really starting from the perspective of the people. This is not a single thing at all."

Gu Qingci looked around the officials in the court and said aloud: "I really don't know what's up. Today I'll ask Lord Yang, why do you think you represent the will of the people? Have you ever asked? Or do you think you think your words must be what the people think?"

"I, Gu Qingci, was the county magistrate of Changling County not long ago. I deal with a group of real ordinary people every day, rather than the wealthy people you meet. Do the people really need you as a cartilage like this? They understand the dignity of the country better than you."

"I came all the way from the 100,000 mountains. I was not an official, I was not a county, I was not a Wushuang prince, I was just a passerby. Let me talk to the people. Let me see which people know these, and which people hope that our Xia Kingdom will be in aggrieved and seek complete."

"And, don't use any moral suppression for me. You are not worthy at all. The people are just an excuse for your cowardice. Gu Qingci cannot represent the people or Xia Kingdom. I only know that I was assassinated and I want to get my fairness back. I am not afraid of any pressure, nor am I afraid of how strong the other party is, because I have a bone that will only break but not soft, and you... are already ruined!"

Yang Zhengming looked at Gu Qingci with a calm face. After a while, he said slowly: "Gu County, do you know that this is the Golden Palace. You must be responsible for every word you say. Do you know how much impact your will do? If you insist on taking revenge, do you know what will happen to Yan State? Their army is approaching, will you resist?"

Gu Qingci sneered and was about to speak when Lu Youzun suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Mr. Yang, I only heard one thing when you say this. You are just afraid of it, just a coward. My Daxia has been in existence for more than a hundred years. Have you ever been afraid of war? Why did you come here and be so afraid of Yan State and allow Yan State to bully me Xia people? You go out and ask someone if you are afraid of you alone or the entire Xia State. Do you know that it is because there are many people like you that Yan State dares to be so presumptuous and dares to assassinate my Daxia County in Chang'an. If everyone wants you like this, this country will be destroyed without war!"

"It's right," Gu Qingci shouted loudly, "Although I think I'm more respectful to me than to the whole country, I also want to say, Lord Yang, my Daxia is not short of good men with iron-clad strength. They are not afraid of the army of any country. They are afraid of cowards like you who sit high in the court but are not enterprising and will only escape blindly!"

After being so unconcealed insulted by two young people in person, Yang Zhengming finally couldn't help it and said, "No, I, Yang Zhengming, are all dedicated to the people of the world. What do you know? Do you know what a national event is? You just act recklessly and know how to bear the consequences? Can you afford it?"

Gu Qingci smiled disdainfully and was about to speak when Emperor Xia above suddenly slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you are talking too far. These things are not what we should discuss today."

Yang Zhengming bowed and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to the Holy Prison!"

Gu Qingci also followed the ceremony and said, "Please ask your Majesty to judge!"

Emperor Xia pondered for a while and slowly spoke: "The prince consort of Yan State sent someone to assassinate me to walk in Daxia. This is an indisputable fact. What does this mean? It means that Yan State is afraid of our Xia State. Why should we be afraid of Yan State?"

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Yang Zhengming's face changed immediately.

After pausing for a while, Emperor Xia continued, "I don't want to say anything extra. To borrow Gu Qingci's words, the bones of Xia people can be broken, but they cannot be soft!"

Qi Hui, who had calmed down, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say..."

"Enough," Emperor Xia said with a serious expression: "My heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty were almost killed. Are you still thinking about compromising with Yan State? Will Yan State send someone to assassinate me one day? You also want me to choose to calm down in order not to go to war with Xia State?"

Emperor Xia’s words were indeed very serious. Qi Hui and Yang Zhengming were so scared that they were so excited that they knelt on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, the old minister has no intention. I am just thinking about my Xia Kingdom. Your Majesty, please understand the old minister!”

Emperor Xia looked at Yang Zhengming and Qi Hui who were kneeling on the ground and said expressionlessly: "You are really old, and even the pride of our Daxia people has been erased. Let's take a break for a while. Think carefully about why our Xia Kingdom is from Daxia today! You don't have to think about asking Mr. Wuque to plead with him. He is already preparing to go to Yan Kingdom for a while!"

Emperor Xia made the final decision, Yang Zhengming and Qi Hui were immediately ashamed, while Gu Qingci's eyes were a little sloppy. He realized that this matter had been concluded, so why did it still be raised in the court? It seems that Emperor Xia had already thoughts of these old ministers. Unfortunately, Mr. Wuque has been under some pressure. This time, he took advantage of Mr. Wuque's ideas and directly took down Yang Zhengming's relationship.
