Chapter 22 Daqian Military God Can you imagine how it feels to have a mosquito flying around your ear for the whole afternoon and not being able to hit it? The two soldiers in front of him were just like this. If it weren't for the military order, they would have turned around and beat Gu Yuanqing up. "Mr. Gu, you are in a really good mood, but why bother teasing two ordinary soldiers?" Chen Chuanshan's voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate. A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the two soldiers, but they still stood straight. Gu Yuanqing was not surprised at all. What could have happened on Beiquan Mountain that could be hidden from him? Chen Chuanshan had been here for half a quarter of an hour and even heard Gu Yuanqing finish singing a song. "General Chen, you are joking. I am just too bored in the courtyard and there is no one to talk to, so I just want to find someone to chat with. General, it is rare for you to say a few more words to me today? We never said a word when we met before." Gu Yuanqing responded lightly. "You two go down the mountain." Chen Chuanshan ordered. "Yes!" The two soldiers were delighted and bowed, then left quickly. From a distance, one of them gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't noticed the commander coming, I would have taken action!" Gu Yuanqing looked at the two of them with some reluctance to leave. This was a rare opportunity to talk so much with others. Although there was no response, just looking at the expressions of the two was quite interesting. After the two men left, Chen Chuanshan slowly said, "You can walk around Beiquan Mountain as you like today, but you need to stay in the back mountain for a few days tomorrow morning."
"The Beiquan Sword Sect's Cliff of Repentance?" "It used to be the Cliff of Repentance, but now it's just a quieter place." "What will you do if I don't want to?" "Mr. Gu, I am also following orders. Please don't make it difficult for me." Chen Chuanshan's eyes narrowed slightly. Gu Yuanqing was a rich man who seemed to have some strength, but he did not take him seriously. However, the possible master behind him made him cautious. He had received news from the palace that the palace's grandmaster was not in Beiquan Mountain that night. Considering that both the elder of Lingxu Sect and the young man whose arm was cut off were suppressed by the grandmaster when they attacked Gu Yuanqing, he knew something about their origins. Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I was just saying it casually. It's nothing more than changing the place to live. I was lucky that the general stopped me that night. However, I have a request. I hope the general will consider it." "please say." "After all, I have lived in this courtyard for more than a year, and I have developed some feelings for it. Maybe I will continue to live here in the future. In any case, don't let anyone else move in. General, do you think this request is not excessive?" Chen Chuanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not the one in charge of this trip, but I will do my best to arrange this matter." "Okay, thank you, General!" Chen Chuanshan nodded slightly, turned and left. When Gu Yuanqing walked in Beiquan Mountain, he had a different feeling from before. Seeing it with his own eyes was different from what he saw from observing the mountain. "From the looks of it, there should be quite a few people coming. If not, there would be no need to go to great lengths to clean up so many houses." Gu Yuanqing guessed that it must be related to the seal of the Demon Realm below. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else that could cause such a big change. The next morning, Gu Yuanqing packed up the important things and carried them in his hands, and asked two old servants to pack up the rest. Under the supervision of a group of soldiers, they went to the back mountain. The Siguo Cliff on the back mountain is located in the corner of Beiquan Mountain and requires passing through a long and narrow rock passage. This is a platform about ten meters in radius, close to the cliff. There are only a few newly renovated houses built close to the rock wall. This place is blocked by the mountains and the scenery of the front mountain is completely invisible, as if it is isolated from the world. Gu Yuanqing put his luggage into the largest room, stood on the edge of the cliff, looked down, then looked at the mountains opposite, and nodded.
"It's actually not bad to live in a different place. It changes the scenery and mood. The only thing is that the wind here is a bit strong." On the cliff, the wind was blowing hard, and the clothes were fluttering, making it difficult for people to open their eyes. In any case, Gu Yuanqing stayed here, and even the two old servants came to the cliff to reflect on their mistakes. The narrow passage was guarded by soldiers, and someone would deliver all the necessary things. In the afternoon, Guanshan saw a man going up Beiquan Mountain with a large crowd of people following him. Gu Yuanqing finally knew who was in charge of this place. "Prince Qing Li Cunguo, it turned out to be him." Gu Yuanqing was really surprised, because this was the uncle of the current emperor. It was said that one of the reasons why the current emperor was able to succeed to the throne was because of Prince Qing’s great help. And decades ago, Prince Qing had another title, that is, the Military God of Daqian! After decades of wars, the Daqian Dynasty is able to have the territory and peace it has today, and Prince Qing should be credited with the greatest contribution. In Gu Yuanqing's impression, Prince Qing had not participated in state affairs for many years. He only took care of the affairs of the clan house and spent the rest of his life in the palace. He did not expect that this time he would be called out because of the seal of the Demon Realm. The white-haired old man walked tremblingly, with a slightly bent back, and at first glance he did not look like the military god he once was. However, the imperial guards following behind him, whether generals or soldiers, looked at him with eyes full of admiration. "Your Majesty, this courtyard was originally where the head of the Beiquan Sword Sect lived. Do you think it is satisfactory?" "It's just a place to live. It's fine as long as it's habitable. There's no question of being satisfied or dissatisfied." Prince Qing looked indifferent as he led the crowd into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the butler behind him waved his hand, and the servants who followed him immediately went about their duties. "Then Your Majesty, please rest in this courtyard. I will come back to report to you when the people from the major sects arrive at Beiquan Mountain." Prince Qing said, "General Chen, please don't leave in a hurry. I heard that there is a boy named Gu Yuanqing living on Beiquan Mountain. Please bring him here for me to see." "This..." Chen Chuanshan hesitated. Gu Yuanqing was imprisoned in this deep mountain. It was an imperial decree issued by Eunuch Xu from the palace. It was strictly forbidden for anyone to communicate with him. Even Prince Qing was included in this list. "Don't be embarrassed. I want to see him. The emperor knows it." "I will bring him here right away." Chen Chuanshan clasped his fists and accepted the order. He believed that Prince Qing would not falsely pass on the emperor's order on such a matter. Gu Yuanqingze, who had been paying attention to this place, was stunned. To see me? Was it because of Miao Xuan? He and Prince Qing were strangers, and this was the only reason he could think of. Not long after, Chen Chuanshan arrived at the Cliff of Repentance. "Mr. Gu, a distinguished person wants to see you." "Let's go." Gu Yuanqing stood up calmly. A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Chuanshan's face, but without saying much, he led Gu Yuanqing towards Prince Qing's courtyard. Outside the courtyard gate, a housekeeper was waiting. "General, the prince asked Master Gu to go in on his own." Chen Chuanshan clasped his fists and said, "Then I will take my leave first. The matters down below are of great importance, and I dare not leave my post for long." "General, please." Before leaving, Chen Chuanshan instructed his men, "You guys wait outside the courtyard for orders. If the prince needs anything, notify me immediately." Gu Yuanqing entered the courtyard alone and came to the lobby. He saw the white-haired old man sitting at the top. "Junior greets His Majesty." Gu Yuanqing bowed. Prince Qing glanced at Gu Yuanqing, picked up the tea and took a sip, then suddenly sat up straight, his aura suddenly changed. If he was still an old man enjoying his old age just a moment ago, as his body straightened up, the former military god of Daqian seemed to have returned, and a murderous aura from the sea of blood and corpses rushed forward. He leaned forward slightly and said slowly: "Are you Gu Yuanqing?"
