Chapter 97: The grievances of the past (1)
How great can hatred be?
The power of hatred in the world can break up families and destroy people, and it can also destroy countries and cities.
The eminent monk advised people to put down the butcher's knife in order to resolve hostility and eliminate hatred. However, the profound Buddhist teachings cannot overcome the hatred of the world, and it is difficult for Buddha to overcome the evil of human nature.
Zhang Huaiyu had to fight with a small number against a large number of people.
The three big men were not weak in skill. They came well prepared. Zhang Huaiyu responded hastily. The four of them fought together on the edge of the cliff.
Unknowingly, Zhang Huaiyu suffered several injuries. If the "jianghu" mentioned by Gu Qing exists, then the four people fighting at this moment are all from the rivers and lakes, and they are on the same level as Zhang Huaiyu.
When the three big men faced Zhang Huaiyu, it was supposed to be an overwhelming battle. Fortunately, Zhang Huaiyu's identity made the three men quite afraid, and they did not dare to kill her.
However, Zhang Huaiyu was a woman and her strength was not as strong as that of a big man. Moreover, she was outnumbered and outnumbered. She soon became exhausted and her sword-swinging moves gradually became messy.
A big man shouted: "Zhang Huaiyu, if you promise not to interfere in this matter, we will let you go. There is no need to sacrifice your life for outsiders!"
Zhang Huaiyu sneered but said nothing. She had no energy to speak anymore.
The sharp blade scratched her arm. Zhang Huaiyu groaned and took a few steps back.
The big man was about to step forward to replenish the sword, but saw Zhang Huaiyu pause on his toes, fly up, and jump from the cliff behind him. The three big men were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that the cliff was not high. With Zhang Huaiyu's skill,
He shouldn't die.
The three big men looked at each other, and one of them with a long scar on his face asked: "Do you want to go down and give chase?"
Another person shook his head: "That's all. Back then, when we assassinated Prime Minister Zhang, we already felt guilty and had no choice but to do it ourselves. After Prime Minister Zhang, please let us go."
Scarface nodded, then gritted his teeth and said, "But we must not let go of the bastards of the Gu family! Ten years, ten years! The great revenge of the brothers has finally been avenged!"
"Zhang Huaiyu seems to know the bastard of the Gu family. What if she escapes and reports to the bastard of the Gu family?"
"It doesn't matter. If you can't run far, you can find out the results in just a few days. Even if a bastard without a father and a mother escapes, how far can he escape? We are experts in tracking enemy traces, otherwise we would not have no clues.
We chased him to Qingcheng County without being sued. Letting Zhang Huaiyu go today is a sign of respect to Prime Minister Zhang, and we have done our utmost to be benevolent. If Zhang Huaiyu still wants to protect that bastard next time, don't blame us for killing him.
"
Another person said slowly: "Have you checked clearly? Are you sure it's near Qingcheng County?"
"It's confirmed. The Gu family lived in a village near Qingcheng County for two years and gave birth to a son. We will check in the county for a few days and we will definitely find clues."
The scar-faced gaze looked down the cliff, becoming increasingly gloomy and gloomy: "There is no way to escape the ten-year feud. We will kill them all and we will not stop until death!"
…………
After Zhang Huaiyu jumped off the cliff, he took a long detour and purposely fled towards the opposite place to Shiqiao Village. After detouring for nearly a hundred miles, he found a cave to hide in. After a night, Zhang Huaiyu endured the pain and went out of the cave to search.
After checking to make sure there was no one following him nearby, he walked through the inaccessible mountain forest and stumbled all the way back to Shiqiao Village.
It was the evening of the third day after returning to Shiqiao Village. Zhang Huaiyu was discovered by the villagers as soon as she walked to the entrance of the village. When the villagers saw that she was covered in blood, they couldn't help but scream. In an instant, countless people came forward, and several widows came to help them.
She was gently pushed away by Zhang Huaiyu, while others turned around and ran away to report the news to Gu Qing.
When Gu Qing hurried over, Zhang Huaiyu was sitting on the mountain roadside at the entrance of the village, resting. His snow-white clothes were covered with blood stains. The originally bright red blood had dried up and turned into dark red, which looked shocking. Zhang Huaiyu's face was pale, probably due to blood loss.
Too much was due to fear. Seeing Gu Qing coming, Zhang Huaiyu smiled at him.
Gu Qing looked her over and his face suddenly darkened.
"Who did it?" Gu Qing asked with a stern face.
Zhang Huaiyu coughed twice weakly, lowered his head and chuckled: "Do you want to avenge me?"
Gu Qing said slowly: "Yes, I want to avenge you."
Zhang Huaiyu took a deep look at him and said: "Don't be stupid, my skills have been beaten like this, how can you help me avenge you, will it work if you fight hard?"
Gu Qing looked around and saw that there were too many villagers watching, so he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, disperse and go do your own thing!"
Gu Qing's authority in the village was increasing day by day, and his face was ugly at the moment. The villagers left obediently.
Looking at Zhang Huaiyu again, Gu Qing said: "Can you leave by yourself? Do you want me to hold you?"
Zhang Huaiyu's pale face turned red and he said: "I can leave..."
Gu Qing helped her get up. Zhang Huaiyu was exhausted and had many wounds on his body. He walked very slowly. The short journey took a long time.
Gu Qing became impatient and simply bent down to hold her waist with one hand and picked up her knees with the other hand. Zhang Huaiyu screamed out of surprise and was picked up by him. It was still the most ambiguous princess hug.
It was the first time that a man held him so intimately. Even though Zhang Huaiyu was an informal person, he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment and struggled a few times.
Gu Qing said with a straight face: "Don't move, I'm not strong, you are already heavy enough, can you be more honest? I don't know how many bowls of rice I can eat in one meal?"
Zhang Huaiyu was angry: "You..."
There were injuries on his body, but Zhang Huaiyu didn't have the energy to care about it, so he swallowed his anger and said: "You wait until I am healed."
To be honest, Zhang Huaiyu was not heavy. Gu Qing held it in his hands and weighed it. According to the measurement unit of later generations, it weighed less than a hundred kilograms. A woman who could eat three bowls per meal was so light. Gu Qing felt frustrated and wasted his time.
The food is so attentive, the meat buns feel like beating a dog, and feeding the pigs is more rewarding than feeding her.
Although it wasn't heavy, Gu Qing's useless body couldn't support it for long. After holding her for more than ten steps, Gu Qing's arms started to tremble. Holding her was like lifting the entire country, getting heavier and heavier, and his steps became heavier and heavier.
difficult.
The sweet scene of the hero hugging the beauty just now may be ruined...
Gu Qing is not a person who will force himself, let alone a person who cherishes beauty. Besides, the person he is holding in his arms is not a woman, but a brother. There is no need for too much courtesy between brothers.
Looking around, he found that several villagers were still watching the excitement from a distance. Gu Qing shouted loudly: "Go and remove the door panel, and here are eighteen strong men to help me carry her back!"
Conveniently throwing the frightened and angry Zhang Huaiyu to the ground, Gu Qing breathed heavily and whispered: "I'm sorry, I tried my best."
…………
Zhang Huaiyu, who was lying on Gu Qing's bed, was still angry. Although he didn't have the strength to beat him violently, his beautiful eyes stared at him hatefully, trying to force Gu Qing to feel guilty with his eyes.
Gu Qing looked calm and didn't feel that he should feel guilty. Don't force things that you can't do.
"Treat the wound first. I'll find some women to bandage your wound, and then let Uncle Song make some medicinal paste for you..."
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then the two of them said in unison: "Forget it, I won't bother Uncle Song."
After saying this, the two of them were stunned and burst into laughter.
"I took care of the wound last night. Don't call anyone. I'll talk to you about business first..." Zhang Huaiyu said softly.
Gu Qing stood up and said forcefully: "We'll talk about the big deal after the wound is treated. Bandage the wound first. If it bleeds so much, you will die if you don't bandage it..."
Zhang Huaiyu looked at him deeply, feeling an unprecedented warmth in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qing then said: "The bed you are lying on belongs to me. If you die on my bed, how will I sleep in the future?"
Zhang Huaiyu was stunned, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up a teacup on the bedside and threw it at him.
"roll!"
Gu Qing called several women into the house and bandaged her wound carefully. In the end, he did not dare to disturb Song Gen. Zhang Huaiyu had medicine to treat the wound himself, so he applied it to the wound and wrapped it.
After the treatment, Zhang Huaiyu lay half-lying on the head of the bed, half-closing his eyes with a weak expression.
Gu Qing sat on the bedside and said, "Tell me, what kind of enemies have you made?"
Zhang Huaiyu cheered up and said: "Gu Qing, clean up. You can leave Shiqiao Village and go out for a while."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "I'm hiding? Have I offended anyone?"
Zhang Huaiyu whispered: "... they are your parents' enemies. Because of the grudges back then, they have been looking for you for ten years and want to eradicate them."
Gu Qing's expression condensed: "We don't care about the rules of not harming our children, wives, and children. How can an enemy have such no bottom line?"
"Where does the bottom line for hatred... come from? Their hatred can only be resolved by killing everyone and crushing their ashes."
Gu Qing said slowly: "I was not interested in asking before, but now it has threatened me. There is a question you must ask. What did my parents do back then to make people hate them so much?"
Zhang Huaiyu said firmly: "Your parents are right."
Gu Qing smiled: "We don't talk about right and wrong. Even if my parents were evil people and did terrible things, and a good person put a knife on my neck in revenge, do I deserve to die?"
Looking at Zhang Huaiyu with squinted eyes, Gu Qing said: "So you were injured because of me? Have you met my parents' enemies?"
Zhang Huaiyu nodded and sighed: "Let me tell you from the beginning. It's time for you to understand your life experience."
After calming down, Zhang Huaiyu whispered: "Let me tell you my identity first. I am Zhang Jiuling's granddaughter..."
Gu Qing was shocked: "Zhang Jiuling? Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling?"
Zhang Huaiyu smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am the daughter of Zhang Zheng, the son of Zhang Jiuling, but I am just a concubine."
Gu Qing looked at her in surprise.
Zhang Jiuling was regarded as the last wise prime minister in the Kaiyuan period. Li Linfu after Zhang Jiuling and Yang Zhao, who has not yet become prime minister, are all famous traitorous ministers in Qing history. Li Longji also reused these traitorous ministers, which led to the decline of the country's destiny and the shaking of the country's foundation.
Not knowing what to say, Gu Qing still cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that the queen of Xian Xiang is disrespectful and disrespectful."
Zhang Huaiyu smiled bitterly and said: "You are honoring my grandfather and it has nothing to do with me. You don't need to salute me."
Gu Qing put down his hand and said, "Does your identity have something to do with my parents?"
Zhang Huaiyu stared at him steadily and said: "It's related. In February of the 28th year of Kaiyuan, my grandfather went back to his hometown to visit his tomb. On the way, he met political enemies and enemies who wanted to kill the entire Zhang family. In order to protect my Zhang family, your parents took advantage of the few.
