Chapter 5 Men's Ambition in All Direction
"Dad, teach me archery!"
"Okay, when you grow up and have more strength, I will definitely teach you archery."
"Really? Dad, don't lie to me."
"How could Dad lie to our lovely little Xinghe? You will definitely become the most powerful ranger in the empire in the future!"
......
"Mom, I'm going to travel to the world outside Mousse Forest alone!"
"Xinghe, do you have to leave?"
"Well, I want to travel all over the territory of the Zhongzhou Empire, and I can't stay in this small mousse forest all the time."
"But my mother is very reluctant to part with you!"
"Mom, it's okay. I will come back to visit you and Dad often in the future."
......
The breeze is gentle, the bamboo sound is soft, and the words of the past seem to be still ringing in his ears at this moment, but in front of him, this wooden house, where he has lived for 18 years, is no longer popular at this time, only spider webs full of beams and a thick layer of dust.
Dad, Mom, where have you been?
In Gu Xinghe's heart, he suddenly remembered the smile at the corners of Yunyan's mouth on his deathbed. He suddenly felt a heart-pounding pain, knelt on one knee and looked forward in a daze.
Fortunately, Yuwen Zhuyan had already found that something was wrong with him, so he had been standing behind him. At this time, he saw him fall to the ground and stretched out his jade hand to hold Gu Xinghe's arm, which was why he did not fall to the ground.
"Xinghe, is this your home?" Yuwen Zhuyan asked cautiously.
Gu Xinghe woke up from his psychedelic, nodded gently to Yuwen Zhuyan, and then said, "Well, this is indeed my home. I have lived here for 18 years."
"What about you...your parents?" Yuwen Zhuyan's heart is also full of endless curiosity.
Gu Xinghe shook his head and said with a wry smile, "They don't seem to be here anymore. I don't know where they are now."
"Oh!" Yuwen Zhuyan nodded and said, "In this case, let's look for it in this room. Maybe they have left some letters for you."
Gu Xinghe suddenly thought that in fact, his father and mother knew words. Since they had left for a long time, there must be a letter left for him, so he nodded heavily and said to Yuwen Zhuyan, "There should be this possibility, Zhuyan, thank you so much!"
Yu Wen Zhuyan shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "Don't thank me. Let's find a broom first and carefully clean this wooden house."
Gu Xinghe nodded and walked to the storage room on the right side of the wooden house. Sure enough, he found a broom that was still available there. He began the great project to clean up the wooden house, and Yuwen Zhuyan was not idle. She took the broom from Gu Xinghe and asked him to find a bucket of water for cleaning. One.
After half an hour, with the efforts of the two, the cabin was finally renewed. Everything was the same as more than ten years ago, but without the father and mother.
"Xinghe, come and have a look!" Yuwen Zhuyan's eyes were bright, as if he had found something, and quickly called Gu Xinghe to come over.
Gu Xinghe quickly put down the bucket in his hand and ran to Yuwen Zhuyan's place, but he saw Yuwen Zhuyan holding an unopened envelope in his hand, with six big words "My son Xinghe" written on it. After seeing the arrival of Gu Xinghe, Yuwen Zhuyan quickly handed the envelope in his hand to Gu Xinghe.
Gu Xinghe hurriedly opened the envelope and read it carefully:
"My son Xinghe, when you read this letter, it must have been many years later. At that time, your mother and I should be traveling on the territory of the Zhongzhou Empire, watching the flowers and rivers, quietly tasting the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and crossing the world.
"Don't blame your father and mother for leaving you and ignoring you. You must know that your father and I have been a person who can't stop walking for many years. Because of your birth, I went to live in this mousse forest with your mother. But now that you have grown up and have your own ideas, your mother and I will continue our dream of visiting the world.
"Xinghe, don't miss us too much. If it's fate, we will meet again after all. By the way, I will tell you a secret that can surprise you for a long time. In fact, I have known his existence for a long time!
"What? Isn't this secret enough to surprise you? Then I'll tell you another secret! In fact, your master's way is your father and me, which is enough to surprise you! Don't ask me why I changed my voice and body shape with my face covered. My son is not that stupid.
"Yes! If you have any doubts about my identity, go to the imperial capital Chang'an! Do you remember what I said to you when I taught you magic in the depths of the forest? When you arrive in Chang'an, as long as you find the location of an ancient sword hall, and you tell the stew manager there your name, they will inform you of my identity.
"Forget, looking at your frowning so tightly, I'll tell you directly. In fact, your father's real name is not Gu Ruohai, but Gu Qianshan. Now you should understand!
"I hope my identity will not confuse you, although I have been trying to eliminate the situation over the years. Xinghe, you must remember that men's ambitions are everywhere. Even if they are frustrated for a moment, they will definitely regain their spirits. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do. Dad believes that your achievements will be more brilliant than Dad in the future. Gu Qianshan characters.
Gu Xinghe continued to look down, but saw a few lines of beautiful characters below:
"Xinghe Wu'er, your father and I may not be able to return here again after leaving the Mus Forest this time. You must take care of your health when you are alone. If it is predestined, we will definitely meet again in the future. By the way, when you saw this letter, you must have been young. Is there a gentle and charming girl standing beside you at this time? If possible, you must find a bosom woman and then get married. No matter whether your father and I can be present, I hope that when our mother and son meet in the future, I will see my grandson. "What's the word?"
Gu Xinghe slowly read the extremely long letter, then slowly folded it up, then put it in the envelope, took it in his arms, and suddenly meditated.
Yuwen Zhuyan asked curiously, "Xinghe, have your father and mother left?"
Gu Xinghe nodded sadly and said slowly, "Well, they have indeed left, but I didn't know their names until now. I'm really unfilial!"
Yu Wen Zhuyan's eyes widened and said in surprise, "How can it be!"
Yes, how can someone not know their parents' names until they are in their thirties? Unless this man has never seen his parents, but Gu Xinghe has lived with his father and mother since he was a child, how can he not know their names?
But I heard Gu Xinghe say slowly, "It's only because they don't want their identity to cause too much confusion to me, so they have never told me in their real names. Even my father taught me magical power, and he also borrowed it in the name of others."
Yuwen Zhuyan suddenly exclaimed and asked in surprise, "Who are your parents?" At this time, she has been very curious about the identity of Gu Xinghe's parents. What is the identity that makes her son feel greatly confused?
Gu Xinghe meditated for a moment, shook his head and said, "My father's name is Gu Qianshan, and my mother's name is Xihe. You must have heard it."
"Ah~!" With an exclamation, Yuwen Zhuyan stared at Gu Xinghe. How could she not have heard of the names of these two people? Gu Qianshan, one of the three masters of the empire, the founder and the only leader of the Ranger League, has peerless magical power. After fighting with the royal sword ancestor, he silenced, but no one expected that he came to this place. And Xihe, because of the incident with Gu Qianshan, made the whole Zhongzhou Empire noisy for decades. How could she not know?
In those years, Xi He, who was more than 200 years old, and the eldest princess of the Xiyan Kingdom, fell in love at first sight. They ignored the obstruction of the Lord of Xiyan and became a pair of immortal couples in private. So far, they walked together on the territory of the Zhongzhou Empire. It was this incident that caused Xihe's name to ring throughout the whole for a while. North and south of the empire.
"It turns out that you are the son of Gu Qianshan..." Yuwen Zhuyan stared at Gu Xinghe and was speechless.
And Gu Xinghe himself seems to be still stuck in the clouds. He thought that his life must be a child of a civilian family, but he never expected that his father and mother had such a huge background that made him unable to change his mind for a while.
"Where are they now?" Yuwen Zhuyan stared at Gu Xinghe and asked carefully.
Gu Xinghe shook his head: "The letter only said that they were going to walk around the world, so I didn't know it."
"So that's it!" Yuwen Zhuyan was still thinking about the story of Gu Qianshan and Xihe, and she was crazy there for a while! Suddenly, I heard Gu Xinghe ask, "Zuyan, why haven't you returned to the imperial capital Chang'an yet?"
Yu Wen Zhuyan shook her head and then said, "I won't go back because as long as I return to Chang'an, I will get married immediately, but I don't want to marry..."
Gu Xinghe "um" and nodded: "So that's it. Can't Brother Huang Gui help you?"
"Brother Huanggui? But..." Yuwen Zhuyan suddenly stopped talking, and then changed the topic and said, "So what about you? What has happened to you over the years? How did you become like this?
A gentle smile appeared at the corners of Gu Xinghe's mouth, as if he was thinking about something, and then said, "Me? Over the years, I went to a faraway place and married a gentle and charming wife.
"Oh, are you married?" Yuwen Zhuyan's eyes were full of incredible, and then asked, "What about your wife?" Your hair..."
Gu Xinghe put away the shallow smile and said, "She died, so my hair has become like this!"
"So it is..." Yuwen Zhuyan stood still and said silently.
After a long time, I heard Gu Xinghe say, "Zu Yan, I'm going to go to Chang'an, the imperial capital, in a few days. What about you? Do you want to go with me?"
Yu Wen Zhuyan nodded, then shook her head and said sadly, "I have been away from my father and mother for fifteen or sixteen years, and I really miss them."
Gu Xinghe said with a smile, "Then go to Chang'an with me. With me and Huang Gui's brother, if you don't believe it, will anyone dare to marry forcibly?"
Yu Wen Zhuyan was speechless, and then Fang said helplessly, "Okay! Tomorrow I will go to the imperial capital Chang'an with you.
Men's ambition, when in the four directions, Dad, I will definitely let you see a different mine. Gu Xinghe thought silently in his heart.
