Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: The Unforgettable City

Once again, Gu Qingci was still unable to calm down. He slowly got off his horse, looked at the still very broken viewing platform, and walked over step by step. This is the Minggenqiling Post in Changling County!

The broken city walls did not have much repairs due to war damage, and almost always remained the same as when he left. He seemed to see that at that time, his comrades fell in pools of blood, and war horses roared.

The city gate was renovated, and the collapsed city wall was re-established. However, when he approached the city gate, the heart-wrenching sound of war suddenly came to his ears, and he also saw the scholar wearing a green shirt smiling.

Ma Shilian fell down here!

The county magistrate of studying died in battle on this city wall!

He was directly pierced by a long spear thrown out by a warrior in the Qi Realm and inserted it into the city wall. At that moment, countless soldiers rushed over desperately, but they were all harvested like straws.

At that moment, the wind and snow were violent, and a large mouthful of blood flowed out of Ma Shilian's mouth. He looked at the Changling County soldiers who came to rescue him one after another. He grinned, his teeth were covered with sticky blood, and shouted loudly: "Continue to charge!"

That scene echoed in my mind and appeared before my eyes.

Gu Qingci tidied up his clothes, slowly held the ceremony, bowed deeply, and bowed to the end.

After that year's battle to defend the city, Qiling Post had always sent troops to guard the city. Although there were not many, they were very straightforward. At the moment of seeing Gu Qingci, someone wanted to interrogate him, but was stopped by the veterans beside him.

When Gu Qingci stood up straight, more than a dozen veterans came out neatly, each of them was very excited and their eyes were red.

Gu Qingci looked at the dozen soldiers in front of him.

The dozen soldiers also looked at Gu Qingci quietly.

I looked at each other for a while, but it seemed like I had experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, as if a heavy snow fell, as if blood was sprinkled on the earth.

"Meet Lord Gu!"

More than a dozen people knelt on one knee, and more than a dozen voices spoke in unison.

Gu Qingci's red eyes finally couldn't hold it in this moment. Two lines of tears rolled out, and he knelt down on one knee, and said with a little sob: "Get up, get up, everyone gets up!"

He couldn't name all these dozen people, but they all had a familiar face. When they fought to defend the city, there were really not many people who survived. Those faces were so friendly and familiar.

…………

After the autumn, Changling County was already very cold. A brazier had been lit in the trunk under the platform. Gu Qingci and more than a dozen veterans squeezed in it, chatting with them and listening to them.

Gu Qingci did not allow them to notify others. He did not want to cause too much riots. If his identity appears in Changling County again, it will be enough to make Changling County excited. Not only his identity, but also his status in the hearts of the people of Changling County.

When he left Changling County, the thousands of people were sent out of the city in the wind and snow, which almost made him leave. He didn't know how reluctant he would have to leave if he did it again.

The Xingtianwei people temporarily replaced these county soldiers to stand guard.

On the city wall, Gu Yihuan and Mr. Wuque looked down at the vast dry grass outside the city. Listening to the laughter coming from the fences from time to time, I felt deeply touched for a moment.

"This city is inconspicuous in the world, but it has an irreplaceable position in the heart of Qingci. Even Chang'an, which has always been the world's largest city, is just a passing cloud in his eyes. However, this lonely city is probably never forgotten in his life!"

Mr. Wuque was sighing that he had encountered many things in his life at his age and had a deep understanding of them.

Gu Yihuan nodded and said, "Every grass and tree here, every knife mark on the city wall is probably unforgettable. This city is unforgettable, but it also makes him sad."

Gu Yihuan suddenly sighed and said, "Sir, are you talking about me, a father, very incompetent? I have left him aside since I was a child, and I almost buried him in such a place of irreparable power."

Mr. Wuque gently patted Gu Yihuan on the shoulder and said, "It was the court who treated you father and son badly. He actually put Qingci in those dangers."

"No wonder the court," Gu Yihuan said: "In order to protect their mother and son, I destroyed all my traces. Not to mention the court, even my sister, I probably don't know the relationship between Qingci and me until now."

"Empress Gu..." Mr. Wuque said softly: "I'm afraid she really doesn't know. She has always thought you were dead since you went to the underworld and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the world. In the imperial city, even if it is a battle between the good and the demons, it will not be spread. Unless she deliberately pays attention, she will really not know you."

…………

It was not until the evening that Gu Qingci got drunk and left Qiling Post.

On the city wall, a torch was lit, and the group stood quietly with guns, watching.

"Great send to Lord Gu!"

A magnificent sound rang out on the city wall, and a simple and heavy sound was made by more than a dozen long spears.

Gu Qingci turned around and gradually drifted away until he could no longer see it. Only when he turned around, the cool breeze blew and the wine gradually faded.

"Goodbye Changling County!"

The carriage was running fast on the road, and the sound of horse hooves became more and more mottled and farther away.

Gu Qingci did not choose to enter Changling County, but chose to take a detour after Qiling Post and rushed forward. He stopped in the mountains at night.

Beside the tent, a bonfire was burning.

Gu Qingci, Mr. Wuque and Gu Yihuan were sitting there. Gu Qingci was holding a branch in his hand and fiddling with firewood from time to time. This was a habit he had always had.

"Since I can't forget this city, I've come here, why not stay for a while?" Gu Yihuan said.

The flames were surging, and the fire shone on Gu Qingci's face. He smiled and said, "Dad, do you know? It's been so long. The people of Changling County are still setting up tablets of immortality for me, and even building temples in the city. They will pray for me every festival."

"These people are really cute, and the city is also beautiful. I am afraid that I will not want to leave if I stay, and I am also afraid that they will not want me to leave."

Gu Yihuan breathed a sigh, "Human hearts are the most complicated, but also the simplest."

"I can't forget this city, nor the people here."

Mr. Wuque and Gu Yihuan were both silent. On this night, there was a little more purity. The stars were flashing in the sky and the moonlight shone, just like the silver-covered wrapping after the heavy snow in the sky, and the vast rivers and mountains were all white.

Gu Qingci stood up and looked into the distance.

That glance, I saw all the clouds rolling and unfolding!
