While praying for kindness, you may appear calm on the outside, but in fact, you are wary on the inside.
He carefully observed Gong Xiqiu's expression to judge the latter's intention of suddenly mentioning this matter. At the same time, he was multitasking. For the first time, he carefully looked at the other party's facial features, trying to compare Gong Xiqiu with the Gongxi clan members he had met many years ago.
No. 1. Unfortunately, too many years have passed, and the boy from that time has completely grown up. In addition, the Gongxi clan has many similarities in appearance, so it is really difficult to identify them.
The only thing that is certain is that Gongxi Qiu met him when he was a boy. He must be one of the group of Gongxi teenagers he met back then. Reuniting old friends after many years of separation sounds like a good thing at first. However, according to the information Qishan obtained
It seems that the Gongxi clan was exterminated a few months after they mistakenly entered the Gongxi clan's land.
This time point is too sensitive.
There is no guarantee that Gong Xiqiu will not be misunderstood as a spy who comes to check on the enemy.
For this reason, Qi Shan cannot guarantee whether Gong Xi Qiu is an enemy or a friend.
Naturally, I didn’t dare to answer the question easily.
Gong Xiqiu raised his eyebrows lightly, this action made his eyes more aggressive: "What are Qi Zhongshu afraid of?"
Qi Shan's heart beat more and more, and he thought carefully and said, "Qi is not afraid. This sword was bought at a high price in the early years. I was worried that the first owner had an old relationship with General Gongxi, and I didn't know how to tell him."
Yun Ce: "..."
This excuse sounds quite blunt.
With Gong Xiqiu's brain, most likely he will be fooled.
Qishan thought so too.
Gong Xiqiu nodded: "Well, so you are Qu Tan?"
Qishan: "..."
Gong Xiqiu raised the sword, weighed it and played with it for a while. He looked at Qi Shan's silent expression and said with a smile: "Does Qi Zhongshu know where the flaw is? The sword-making method of the Gongxi clan is different from that of the outside world. The sword was forged back then.
, didn’t I ask you to use a few drops of blood to temper the sword? The blood is used to feed the Gu worms, and then the special Gu worms are sacrificed to the sword, so that the master and the sword can communicate with each other."
This is just a more metaphysical statement.
To be more straightforward——
Qishan will feel that this sword is easy to use.
If you can wear this sword for a long time, the sword will slowly absorb the breath of praying for good things in a subtle way. It can maintain the sharpness of blowing hair and broken hair without frequent maintenance, and the brilliance is restrained. Gong Xiqiu will know the sword's properties as soon as he gets it.
The master is still alive.
Saber is also in very good health.
One look showed that the owner of the sword had nourished it with his breath not long ago.
Qi Shan said that the excuse for acquiring Saber in the early years was no longer valid.
Seeing that Qi Shan did not answer, Gong Xiqiu asked: "Are you?"
Of course Qishan can answer no and deny it even to death.
But his intuition told him that Gong Xiqiu's personality and brain circuit were very different from ordinary people. If he didn't admit it, Gong Xiqiu might break the sword with his bare hands. Just because Qishan was not the original owner, to Gong Xiqiu,
He is not qualified to hold something belonging to the Gongxi clan. It is just a purchased sword. If Gongxi Qiu breaks it, it will be broken. At worst, he will be compensated with the same price of gold and silver.
Qi Shan reluctantly admits it.
"I am, but I don't know who you are?"
There is something wrong with the Gongxi clan.
First names are not commonly used. They are chosen to record the family tree and are used only after adulthood. Before minors, clan members usually call them by their nicknames. The group of young men from the Gongxi clan Qi Shan met were not very old, so Qi Shan really didn’t know their first names.
What……
Gong Xiqiu handed the sword back to him: "A Nian."
The murder that Qi Shan worried about Gong Xiqiu did not happen.
Gong Xiqiu asked back: "You were hesitant just now because you were worried that I would suspect you of having something to do with the genocide, right? Is it just you?"
It's not that he looked down on the strength of Qishan and Qishan, but that both of them were checked by the high priest back then to ensure that there were no problems before they were allowed to stay in the clan. If they were really outpost spies, they would have been killed by him long ago.
Crush the neck and throw away the fertile soil.
Qishan: "..."
Gong Xiqiu is quite clever at times like this.
A face with colorful makeup suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was really impossible to connect the young man back then with the person in front of him. Gong Xiqiu felt the same way, but he was more curious about another thing: "Why don't you use your own name instead of using Shan Qi's name reversely? He has no objection.
?”
Speaking of this matter, Gong Xiqiu remembered that the reputation of Qi Zhongshu was not very good, and he seemed to have the title of "Evil Schemer". He was obviously Qu Tan, but he used his friend's name. Isn't that unethical?
Qi Shan moved his lips helplessly.
He wanted to explain that "Qutan" was not his real name either.
In the end, he just said: "He won't have any objection."
Gong Xiqiu scratched the tip of his nose: "That's true. Remember, he used to indulge you, so borrowing his name is not a big deal."
In his memory, Qu Tan had a bad temper and would draw his sword to deal with it without saying a word. It was this guy who wanted to set fire to the ancestral graves of his clan. In comparison, Shan Qi's temper was much better.
Gong Xiqiu asked again: "Where is he?"
Prayer: "No longer in this world."
This answer made Gong Xiqiu's next sentence choke in his throat.
He was surprised: "No longer alive?"
Then I thought about it, separation and death are the norm nowadays.
With the latter's temperament, it is indeed impossible to survive.
Gong Xiqiu didn't like to be sentimental. He only felt a little sad for a few seconds and then returned to normal. He suggested going for a drink to connect with each other. When old friends reunited after more than twenty years, it suddenly became clear!
Qishan's mouth twitched slightly: "No."
Gong Xiqiu is rarely rejected by others: "Why?"
Qishan said: "Busy!"
No matter what time it is now.
The war has just ended, and there are so many things to deal with. How can I have time to drink and reminisce with Gong Xiqiu? I have changed, and Gong Xiqiu has also changed. They have only known each other for more than a month, and their friendship cannot be said to be deep.
, it seems ridiculous to deliberately recall the past. Gongxi's revenge is not just to seek revenge on himself.
If you are really seeking revenge, this matter will be difficult to handle.
Qishan did not give Gong Xiqiu a chance to speak.
"Farewell, Qi will go to work first."
Looking at Qishan's back as he walked away, Gong Xiqiu felt a little disappointed: "Oh, when you grow up, it won't be as interesting as before."
As an outsider, Yun Ce could also see that the atmosphere was awkward, and tried to smooth things over: "After all, we have been apart for so many years, and there is always time to get acquainted with each other again. General Gongxi and Qi Zhongshu are ministers in the same court, and there will be many opportunities for contact in the future. Eager for this moment."
Gong Xiqiu didn't bother about this matter either.
"Well, what you said makes sense."
He raised his hand and hooked Yun Ce's shoulder and patted it.
"I see you have a restless breath, do you want me to help you?"
The fastest way for a brave warrior to improve his level is to fight, break through in battle, practice, and master various skills skillfully.
Yun Ce naturally couldn't ask for it.
but--
My heart is beating, but not right now.
Gong Xiqiu said unhappily: "If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. A man who is upright and upright, why are you so annoying?"
Yun Ce sneered: "There are still secular affairs in the army..."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
OK, OK, everyone is busy, right?
It's better to be busy.
After Yun Ce had disappeared, Gong Xiqiu turned to look at his silent elder brother and said, "Brother, you are the only one left."
He has nothing to do now, and his whole body is itching like ants crawling.
At this time, a blue bird landed on Jimo Qiu's finger.
He took a look at the content of the message and put it away: "Brother Fang Liu said that there was a shortage of military doctors in the wounded barracks and not enough medicine for wounds. He asked me if I wanted to help. A Nian came to help me when he had nothing to do."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
He followed up with small steps, feeling aggrieved.
After all, he is also Mama's personal general.
Even if he is just a bare-bones commander with no soldiers under his command, and he is ordered to attack... hmph, does he not want to lose face?
I kept complaining inside, but I was very efficient at work.
"How can we take care of so many wounded soldiers?" An idea flashed in Gong Xiqiu's mind, and he thought of a brilliant idea. He formed hundreds of martial soldiers on the spot, and two people worked in teams to carry the wounded soldiers.
If the ground is too congested, just go to the ground where you are and use air transport.
Fang Yan's mouth twitched sharply.
If it had been left at that time in Xiaocheng, he would never have imagined that such a day would come - Gong Xiqiu, who wanted to look at people with his nostrils, would actually use his trump card, which consumes a lot of martial energy, in such a scenario.
When other warriors saw this scene, they also acted accordingly.
Fang Yan sighed: "It's a good thing after all."
The more manpower there is, the more things can be done.
Many wounded soldiers died because they were not treated in time.
Now that the wounded barracks has enough manpower, it can free up manpower to triage the wounded soldiers. Those who are seriously ill will be treated first, and those who are not seriously injured will wait... As long as you can save your life, even if you are missing an arm or a leg, Xinglin The healer can also help his severed limbs regenerate.
The wounded barracks was so busy that the lights never went out.
The troops of Kang State were also busy cleaning up the remaining soldiers in the Northern Desert.
Integrating troops and horses, it was decided to recapture Shexing Pass on the third day.
The recovery of Shexing Pass was much easier than expected. Firstly, the elite defenders were short of food, and Shexing Pass had been without food for three days. Secondly, Shen Tang also spread the word about Liu Guan replacing Brother Tude. With that, When news of Tude's defeat in the battle came, there was an internal mutiny. Shen Tang sent people to instigate rebellion. Without much effort, he succeeded in instigating one of the rebels, and agreed to cooperate inside and outside.
When Brother Tude stepped onto the Shooting Star Pass as a prisoner, his face was extremely ugly, especially when Shen Tang ordered people to collect all the human bones that had not yet been processed. Piles after piles of bones, even an experienced veteran on the battlefield could not endure it. He couldn't help but frown.
Shen Tang smiled at Brother Tude.
Yin Yang Wei Qi: "Your army has a pretty good appetite."
Brother Tude was completely embarrassed. The food and grass were all supervised by his subordinates. He knew the specific amount, but he didn't know that the stack of numbers in his eyes would be so visually shocking. However, no matter how much he wanted to escape, he could only force it. Looking at it with scalp.
Shen Tang was quite bored when he saw this.
After a long time, Brother Tude tested Shen Tang.
"I wonder what Lord Shen wants?"
This was a reminder to Shen Tang that he could go through the process of paying tribute and surrendering and sending hostages. There was no movement for several days. He guessed that Shen Tang was preparing to dry himself out so that he could raise the price. The previous standards came to mind, I have a rough estimate in mind.
Shen Tang asked back: "What do you think?"
Brother Tude said: "In the past, Sui Gong was..."
According to custom, the annual tribute presented by the Northern Desert to the northwest countries includes but is not limited to gold and silver treasures, rare products unique to the Northern Desert, handsome men and beautiful women. In view of the fact that the Northern Desert not only suffered a defeat, but also suffered from a serious food crisis, the first batch of Suigong can also be thickened.
Shen Tang interrupted him.
"Sigong? What Suigong?"
＿|￣|●
I had a fever, and every time I swallowed I felt like my throat was being cut with a knife.
Take out the medicine you always have at home. If you don't feel better tomorrow, go to the hospital to register.
PS: Gong Xiqiu and Qi Shan are old friends who met once more than 20 years ago. They had a good time at the time, but it has been diluted by time, and they are even a little embarrassed?
PPS: Losing the vest this time is not important, what is important is Qu Tan’s identity.
