Chapter 121 Goodbye in the world
Chapter 121 Goodbye in the world
Outside Linjiang City, there is a Shili Post Station where the personal guards of the Guangyang Marquis’ Mansion are stationed.
Meng Qingkong flew into the military camp, holding his chest, and staggered into a tent. Inside was a white-haired old man with deep wrinkles on his face. His gray hair and beard swayed in the wind, and he looked like a candle in the wind.
I'm afraid few people can recognize that this person is one of the ten great masters of Yunzhou, Guangyang Hou Bai Chaoxian.
Bai Chaoxian was only in his prime, but he looked much older than Meng Qingkong. He was full of deathly aura and was covered in a thick velvet blanket. The charcoal fire was burning very vigorously.
Seeing Meng Qingkong enter the tent, Bai Chaoxian quickly stood up and supported Meng Qingkong, then quickly used his internal energy to treat Meng Qingkong's injuries. However, Meng Qingkong stopped him and said, "My Lord, I caused this injury myself. I know it's not a serious injury. Don't waste your energy. Now..."
Bai Chaoxian shook his head slightly, but still placed his palm gently on Meng Qingkong's back to heal his injuries. He slowly said, "I know my situation. Keeping a little more power in me will only help me survive for a few more days. It doesn't mean much."
Meng Qingkong frowned and said, "My Lord, although the Imperial Master's Great Formless Tribulation Technique is difficult to resolve, it's not incurable. We might as well go find the Medicine Saint Qi Miaoxuan; he should have a solution. If that doesn't work, we can go find the Moon Worshiping Cult's Medical God Wei Wuwei, or the Moon Worshiping Cult's leader Ye Nantian..."
"Brother Meng," Bai Chaoxian chuckled, "Is the real difficulty in resolving the Great Unparalleled Tribulation Art? It's the current situation in the court. The current emperor needs to hand me over to ease the conflict with the aristocratic families. The difficulty has never been about martial arts, but about the overall situation. You understand, so why bother holding on to hope and comforting yourself?"
Meng Qingkong said in a deep voice: "I think it's very unfair."
Bai Chaoxian smiled slightly and said, "Reaching this point was already destined. Everything was my own choice back then, and everything is fair.
At that time, the late emperor gave me a choice: to continue to be a slave for generations, or to try my best to ascend to heaven. I chose the second one. Later, I rose from a slave step by step to become a general and marshal, commanding heavy troops, fighting against foreign enemies and suppressing bandits at home.
The late emperor has kept his promise to me. He gave me power, force, money, etc., and all I need to do is to be a knife and kill those aristocratic families for him. There are more than one such knife.
People say the late emperor was very open about who he hired, regardless of their background, and promoted many commoners and slaves. But, how many of those people are still alive today?
Meng Qingkong sighed and said, "I think it's unfair because if only one of them died, it would be enough, but you, my Lord, have... your entire family!"
Bai Chaoxian said, "Because I'm the most ruthless, I've climbed the highest. Back then, I killed those people from the aristocratic families, and how ruthlessly I killed them is exactly how ruthlessly I'm retaliating now. It's just the law of nature, karma. I coveted power, knowing the consequences, but I couldn't resist the temptation of power and became the most ruthless executioner, killing the most people. Now, the more people are retaliating against me, isn't that reasonable?"
Meng Qingkong said: "But the emperor..."
"The emperor is impartial. In his position, he always considers the pros and cons," Bai Chaoxian said. "Now, the situation is different. He needs to appease the aristocratic families. Is there a more appropriate way than handing me over?"
Meng Qingkong sighed and said no more.
After a long while, the healing process was over. Bai Chaoxian wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down dejectedly on the carpet. He stretched out his dry, wrinkled hands to warm himself by the fire. He coughed softly and said, "Brother Meng, I leave my two grandsons in your care. Remember, never tell them about their origins. Whether they become ordinary people or wander the world of martial arts in the future, they have nothing to do with the Guangyang Marquisate."
Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. After today, I will retire from the martial arts world and will never appear again. I will take those two boys to a remote mountain village to spend the rest of my life. They have never appeared in public since they were born. No one knows they are from the Bai family, not even themselves. There will be no problem."
Bai Chaoxian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Meng!"
Meng Qingkong waved his hand and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind today? Didn't you decide to keep it a secret from the Third Miss? Why did you suddenly ask me to tell the truth?"
Bai Chaoxian nodded and said, "That was my original plan, but after hearing what Yanyan said, I suddenly felt that I was quite self-righteous. I always thought I was doing it for her good, but it seems that I never thought about what Yanyan really needs.
I used to think that what I did would make her life better in the future, but only today did I realize that everything I did had become a demon in her heart. If I didn't tell her today, she would probably live like a piece of thoughtless wood, trapped by her inner demons for the rest of her life. Living like that would be the same as dying.
"Will it affect your original plan?"
"will not."
Meng Qingkong pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are so confident, there shouldn't be any problems. Now that everything is done, no one in the court will seek revenge against an illegitimate daughter like the Third Young Miss. As for the martial arts world, it shouldn't be a big problem either. What's more, Gu Mo is there to protect the Third Young Miss."
Bai Chaoxian sighed and said in a deep voice, "If only I had discovered Yanyan earlier, I could have hidden her away early on. No one would have known about her, and I wouldn't have had to worry about her being liquidated. I could have let her feel her father's love, and why would she have suffered all these years!"
Meng Qingkong said, "The Third Miss now understands your good intentions. She will be comforted, and the wounds left in her heart over the years will slowly heal, and she will be able to live a normal life. But I'm a little worried now. Will the Third Miss, knowing your good intentions, act on her emotions? If so, all the preparations you've made for her to finally achieve this will be wasted!"
Bai Chaoxian chuckled and said, "No, I know my own daughter's personality very well. She is a girl, but she is the most like me among all my children. She values friendship, but she is also rational. She may find it difficult to accept it for a while, but she will never act on her emotions. If I were not so sure, how could I dare to let her know the truth?
She will be reborn!"
……
Linjiang City, Gu family residence.
After Gu Mo brought Gu Chudong and Yan Sanniang back, he told Yan Sanniang what Meng Qingkong had said.
After listening,
Gu Chudong's face was filled with astonishment and shock.
Yan Sanniang, however, was calm and composed, without any emotion. She simply reached out and took the letter from Gu Mo, slowly opening it. There was only one sentence inside:
For the rest of your life, I hope you live for yourself.
……
Yan Sanniang's reaction was different from what Gu Mo expected.
Gu Mo originally thought that Yan Sanniang would be emotional, or extremely happy or sad, after knowing the truth.
However, Yan Sanniang had a blank expression on her face, and her emotions were very stable. She was just a little silent, but the silence didn't last long. She looked up at Gu Mo and chuckled, "Why, are you disappointed?"
Gu Mo nodded and said, "I thought you would be extremely happy or extremely sad."
Yan Sanniang chuckled and said, "I also feel that I should be extremely happy and extremely sad, but I don't know why, after learning the truth of the matter, I just feel relieved. Do you understand that feeling?"
Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "I think I understand why you are neither sad nor happy."
"Why?" Gu Mo said, "Perhaps, you wanted to gain Bai Chaoxian's fatherly love at first, but later, you became desperate and no longer had that expectation. Instead, you wanted to prove your ability to Bai Chaoxian and prove to him that you, as his daughter, were not shameful.
However, the harder you try, the more painful it becomes, because you will never be able to get Bai Chaoxian's approval. As a result, you are stuck in a dead end and cannot get out. You have inexplicably put a layer of shackles on yourself. The existence of that layer of shackles makes your life very tiring. You dare not stop, and you don't even know why you are living.
Now that that shackle has been removed, you no longer need to live for anyone, for Bai Chaoxian's approval, or for a specific cause. Naturally, you feel relieved."
Yan Sanniang smiled and whispered, "It feels so good!"
"It's pretty good."
Gu Mo also smiled and asked, "Miss Yan, what are your plans for the future?"
"I'll borrow your words from your previous advice to Yang Qingtong."
"Which sentence?"
Yan Sanniang chuckled and said, "I'm still young, and the future is long. There's so much to see in the world. Although I've traveled a lot over the years, I've always been burdened, always thinking about doing something big, and haven't really taken in the scenery along the way."
"That's good." Gu Mo nodded and said, "Walk around and have a look. When you feel tired, you can rest. After you've rested, you can continue walking. When you find a place or something you like, life will be full of fun."
Yan Sanniang smiled slightly.
Gu Chudong on the side couldn't help but say, "Well, Sister Yan, you must remember to write to me. Well, now, the letter will be sent here. Later, when my brother's eyes are cured, I will return to my hometown with him. Then, the letter must be sent to our hometown."
"it is good."
Yan Sanniang nodded, then asked, "Gu Mo, do you have a bar at home?"
"of course."
"Well, let's have a drink tonight as a farewell. I'll be leaving tomorrow."
"So anxious?"
"If I stay here, I will always be reminded of the unpleasant past. The sooner I leave, the sooner I can forget my troubles."
……
The next day, early in the morning.
At dawn, the morning light is like a veil, gently penetrating the night sky.
The houses and streets of the city were still shrouded in a hazy light, their outlines vague and indistinct, as if shrouded by a thin veil. The distant buildings were only vague silhouettes, and the branches and leaves of the nearby trees were also dimly visible in the dim light.
Gu Mo and the others got up early and had breakfast together, but the meal was eaten in silence.
Yan Sanniang and Gu Chudong cleared the dishes together and washed them in the kitchen. After everything was cleaned up, they went out together, leading their horses out of the city.
"Where are you going?"
"First stop, go to Jiutai Mountain to see the sea of clouds."
"and then?"
"We'll see when the time comes!"
Gu Chudong was in a low mood, her heart filled with reluctance to leave. She lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.
Yan Sanniang gave Gu Chudong a big bear hug, leaned close to Gu Chudong's ear and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely write to you."
"Well, Sister Yan, you can't forget."
"Absolutely not."
Yan Sanniang slowly let go of Gu Chudong, walked up to Gu Mo, and said with a smile: "Come, hug me."
"It's not appropriate. There's a difference between men and women..."
"Man, why are you being so fussy?"
Before Gu Mo could finish his words, Yan Sanniang stepped forward and hugged him, then let go and took a half step back. She then jumped on her horse and said, "Gu Mo, if you ever see me in the martial arts world, you must recognize me at first sight!"
Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "Sure."
"Let's go, see you later!"
Yan San pulled the reins, the horse neighed, and its four hooves raised a cloud of dust.
At this moment, the sun was rising, its warm light pouring down like a golden veil, outlining a dazzling outline for her. The road ahead was long, and she looked up. That glance was like the dawn light penetrating the morning mist, ready to illuminate this chaotic world.
The sound of horse hooves broke the silence. The rising sun showed its boundless path, and the figure gradually merged into the brilliant glow.
