Chapter 120 The Red Dust Refines the Heart and the Supreme Being Forgotten
"You have been a couple for many years. Are you not aware of her? You have to do this and make my grand head of the Nangong family look like a slut who takes someone else's man." Nangong Yue frowned.
Gu Fanze was like a thorn in his throat and said heavily: "The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more complicated, and the exploitation of the people of the Central Plains by the Daqi court is shocking.
Due to the natural disasters over the years, crop yields have dropped sharply. Not only did Daqi not open warehouses to provide relief, but it added harsh taxes, causing the people to live in poverty.
Now there are hungry begging everywhere outside, and those who are stronger choose to fall into the grass and become bandits.
Many of them, who don’t even have any martial arts skills, have to risk their lives to rob the house. If they don’t do so, they will only starve to death.”
Nangong Yue came from the north of the desert and encountered many robbers mentioned by Gu Fan along the way. They were just farmers holding sticks, knives and forks.
"So you revitalize the escort agency, transport escorts on the surface, and secretly rely on the management of connections to help these forced bandits." Nangong Yueran said.
"They are not bandits, they are just forced people. But I can't support myself. How big is the world? There are still many people who have not been helped and starved to death. They are all the worlds where the Hu people rule the world. How hateful is the court of the Great Qi?" Gu Fan clenched his fists and said indignantly.
"What does this have to do with your wife?"
Gu Fan sighed and said without regret: "I was also confused and actually suspected Ru'er and her two maids.
The evil man attacked the Gu family before, but died inexplicably. In addition, the Zhu family was destroyed, and the corpse of Mr. Zhu's body was exactly the same as the magic sect's killing method back then.
Now is the most critical time to expel Hu Yi and revitalize the Han Dynasty. Suddenly, such a thing happened around you, which is always uneasy.
I have questioned all the people in the world who are hiding their names in the mansion one by one. No one has ever attacked those evil people. The only doubtful one is Ru'er and the servants in the mansion.
Before this, I had sent someone to secretly follow the chamber of commerce run by Ru'er and the clerks in the chamber of commerce, and found no problems.
Ru'er is from Longxi. Longxi is located outside the pass, which is the most rampant place in the Demon Cult activities. So I want to test whether she has martial arts or not."
Nangong Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Is there anyone who is so tempted by you? Are you testing your feelings or martial arts? You haven't said that a long time ago, just watch me punch her and punch her, and you will know if she knows whether she has martial arts."
"Don't go," Gu Fan hurriedly stopped him, "I already know that Ru'er has no problem. I will bear the trouble I caused myself. I will never let Ru'er suffer any more grievances. Aping, please ask all the brothers who are following you to withdraw. Ru'er is innocent."
When Nangong Yue heard this, she didn't know how she felt empty and felt, and she felt an indescribable bitterness.
In her memory, she suddenly recalled the scene when her father taught her Nangong sword technique.
"Nangong Sword Technique, there are two paths of cultivation, one is the world of refining the heart, and the other is the highest-ranking love. Daughter, which one do you want to choose?"
"If Yue'er wants to choose, choose the strongest one, Taishang Wangqing."
"Taishang Forgetful Love. If you practice this sword technique, you must abandon all seven emotions and six desires, like a stubborn stone, abandon all distracting thoughts, be ruthless in your heart, and drawing the sword is also ruthless. Can you do it?"
"As the future head of the Nangong family, Yue'er has long had this enlightenment."
"Since that's the case, I will teach you the Supreme Forgetful Sword Technique. You may never taste the taste of love again in this life."
A few years later, Nangong Yue, who had achieved a small swordsmanship, went out to travel around the world, not only to practice swordsmanship, but also to look for opportunities to advance to the great success of swordsmanship.
She met Gu Fan in Jizhou who had already emerged in the world. At that time, Gu Fan was not as mature as he is now. He was under 20 years old, full of energy and a beautiful place.
Nangong Yue, who practiced the Supreme Forgetful Sword Technique, saw Gu Fan, but she was as if she was shocked to see him. Her eyebrows and eyes seemed to meet her three lives before, and now she was an old friend.
Her heart, which was wrapped in layers of chains, seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, smashing the shackles on it to pieces.
She obviously has not been moved by emotions or worried about emotions since she can remember. But when she first saw Gu Fan, the atrium that had been closed for nearly twenty years had a gap and a hint of sunshine.
This also made Nangong Yue know that the world was so dangerous that a man he met almost broke her martial arts.
After we parted in Jizhou, we met again in Jiangnan City a year later.
At this time, Nangong Yue had been out for two years and was about to return north along the waterway when she happened to arrive in Jiangnan City.
That day, it rained heavily in Jiangnan City. The boatman passing by the canal supported the bamboo poles and drew conical water marks in the ripples made of rain.
Nangong Yue stood at the bow of the boat, staring at Jiangnan in the rain, feeling the misty water vapor like smoke and fog passing by her cheeks, a little cold and wet the corners of her clothes.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the man in a boat by the canal. He was preparing to go to the martial arts conference and was at home to experience and practice.
Gu Fan slowly lowered the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, holding the umbrella bone with slender knuckles, leaning against the slanted eaves of the boat. He had a pretty face, leisurely and smiling, and seemed a little melancholy and illusory in the hazy rain.
It seems that it is just a painting, not a real person.
Nangong Yue's heart was hit hard again, and the atrium that had already had a gap completely collapsed and fell. Although it was a gloomy and misty day, she felt that the whole world was bright.
She hurriedly flew from the boat and left the boatman behind to shout, "You haven't paid yet."
Nangong Yue turned around, threw down two ingots of silver, and came to Gu Fan.
The two of them exchanged greetings for a while and went to the private room No. 1, Tianzi, Yuelai Teahouse, and sang as a song, talking about their life ideals. Both of them were drunk. In the end, Gu Fan woke up first, left a letter, and said goodbye.
When Nangong Yue woke up and read the letter, she burst into tears for some reason.
Nangong Yue wanted to catch up with Gu Fan, but she didn't know where to look for it, so she had to stay in Jiangnan City for a month and left without success.
Back in Mobei, every time I practice the Taishang Wangqing Sword Technique, Gu Fan's figure always appears in front of me without realizing it.
Nangong Yue didn't know what this kind of unforgettable feeling was, but it made her extremely anxious. She silently expressed her affection to the wild goose and Mingyue who were traveling south every day.
When the flowers bloomed, she took the letter left by Gu Fan, read it over and over again, and remembered every word, every stroke, and even every ink drop on the paper in her mind.
It’s a pity that she didn’t know where the person who wrote the letter was now, and she didn’t know where to send the letter to her. She had to talk to the fallen flowers in vain and hate it without understanding.
Finally, this relationship almost made her betray her love. After being obsessed with the devil, she locked her heart tightly and completely forgot the figure.
And because of this, the sword technique that had never been broken through was finally achieved, and she also knew her father's intention to let her walk around the world.
The so-called forgetfulness can probably be achieved by only after having it, you can only achieve the perfection of swordsmanship.
Nangong Yue also replaced her father after the swordsmanship was perfected and became the head of the Nangong family.
I originally thought that all fate would end here.
But luck made people feel bad. By chance, she met Gu Fan, who was already the leader of the martial arts world, again.
Gu Fan wanted to gain the support of several major gangs in Mobei and jointly overthrow the rule of the Hu people, so he went to Mobei in the name of escorts and negotiated with him.
Nangong Yue had fantasized about countless meeting scenes, but none of them made her long-silent heart restless again, and this time she could not hold back.
She is now the head of the Nangong family, no longer the wandering girl who had just entered the world in Jizhou, nor the intoxicated girl in Jiangnan City. Although she maintained her extreme restraint and always said that she was the first among all the gangs in Mobei to join Gu Fan's tent.
She also tried her best to become Gu Fan's contact person in Mobei, so that she would have more opportunities to communicate with Gu Fan.
But unexpectedly, the world of things was changing, time was ruthless, Gu Fan had already married and had children, and her final fantasy was shattered.
Originally, they thought that the two of them would have no intersection except to destroy Hu Daye, but a letter sent to her by Gu Fan made everything turn around.
In the letter, Gu Fan personally invited her to Jiangnan City, saying that she had something to discuss.
On the day he received this letter, Nangong Yue explained the family affairs and went south alone. He ran day and night, and three horses died before he rushed to Jiangnan City. According to Gu Fan's plan, he broke into Gu Shun's private room, and then the scene began.
However, in this drama of deep affection for Gu Fan, there was something real and fake, and maybe even Nangong Yue herself couldn't tell it.
