In the winter of the fifteenth year of Tiance, the Beimo suddenly invaded the northern part of Xia Kingdom, and Yuqilingyi suffered violent obstruction. County magistrate Gu Qingci led more than 5,000 county soldiers to fight bloody battles and hold on for seven days. When the reinforcements arrived in Weicheng, they defeated the Beimo cavalry and chased the wasteland for more than 200 miles north of the wasteland.

In this battle, all the soldiers in Changling County were killed and injured. The blood forest turned red. The blood flowed into a river and the corpses were everywhere. The acting county magistrate Ma Shilian of Changling County died. The county magistrate Gu Qingci was seriously injured, but he did not know his life and death.

...

After the New Year, Changling County gradually eased from the sad atmosphere. The breath of the New Year covered some bloodstains. However, the wind and snow were still there, and the snow was always thick, like armor. Although the distant mountains were green as usual, they were only half snow and half new.

When Gu Qingci woke up, it was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

This year is also the first year of his life, but he was not lucky enough to live. At that time, he was in a coma. After sleeping for a full half month, his wounds were already scarred when he woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw a very familiar scene. He was in the palace in Changling County. He lived in this room all the time. The windows were tightly closed and the doors were closed, and no sound could be heard. If it weren't for the faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room, he would have doubted whether he had been abandoned.

In the room, there was a sword, a jade bone sword, hanging on the wall, and there was a piano and a seven-stringed lyre on the desk. Everything looked familiar, just like when I first arrived in this world, I saw it.

He slowly got up and opened the door. It was white, but it had already melted again. It was not snowing, but it was a bit terrible. He stepped on the snow, and the soft feeling made him sigh, but he didn't expect that he would have the chance to walk.

Thinking of the moment before he was unconscious, he was ready to die, but he didn't expect to be alive, but...

He thought of Ma Shilian, the silly scholar, his only friend, but he never had the chance to stand up again!

"ah!"

A scream interrupted Gu Qingci's thoughts. He looked over and saw a maid from the mansion. He was looking at him with shock. The medicine in his hand fell to the ground. The brown potion flowed on the ground, melting a lot of snow.

"The master is awake!"

The shouting of this life made Gu Qingci clear that he had no quiet time.

...

The first person to come was Pang Shilong, who and Zhao Dianshi came together.

Through their narrative, Gu Qingci learned about his experience during this period.

Half a month ago, the person who suddenly appeared on the scene to save him Yu Wanjianzhi was Shangguan Hanqing, the general guarding Weicheng. He happened to arrive with the Xia army. After saving Gu Qingci, he led tens of thousands of troops to chase the Beimo cavalry and went north for two hundred miles. Unfortunately, he was unable to capture the little prince Mengge of the Beimo.

After experiencing this raid, Shangguan Hanqing realized that it was a mistake to give up Qiling Post and had already sent troops there. Shangguan Hanqing had already brought troops back to Weicheng seven days ago, so that Gu Qingci had no chance to thank his life for his gratitude in person.

During Gu Qingci's coma, Princess Tang Yun and Ning Qing had also left Changling County and went to Chang'an. When they left, Tang Yun appointed Changling County Dianshi temporary county magistrate.

As for Ma Zhibai, he went to Langya County after being injured for a few days.

As soon as he talked about this, a servant came in and said to Gu Qingci: "Master, someone asked for a visit outside the door, saying that he was the princess's guard."

Gu Qingci nodded and said, "Please come in."

Gu Qingci was familiar with the person who came. When he had a conflict with Tang Yun, the guard was next to Tang Yun. When he saw Gu Qingci, he immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Gu, the villain is sending a message for the princess. The princess said, "Let you recover well. When the injury is healed, go to the capital. Don't wait for the adults from the Censorate to come here to investigate. She will report your contribution directly to the emperor!"

Gu Qingci bowed slightly and said, "Then please thank the princess for me!"

...

As soon as the guard left the door, a despicable laughter rang out of the door. Yan Bole, who had an old yellow teeth, walked in happily, and did not take the few Shangguans in the room seriously at all. He found a stool with a big golden knife and sat down, and said, "Sir, I heard that you are awake, hehe, come and see you, I will say that you are lucky and will definitely not die, hehe..."

When Gu Qingci saw Uncle Yan, he was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that Uncle Yan would survive. He saw the tragic battlefield at that time. It seemed that Uncle Yan was not even injured at all.

He smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to great fortune and great destiny, you are better than Uncle Yan."

Uncle Yan smiled proudly and said, "I'm so desperate, it's not so easy to die. But, I'm no longer a servant now. I'm old and am going to go back to my hometown to spend my old age. If I hadn't been to wait for you, Lord Gu, I would have left long ago..."

Speaking of this, Uncle Yan suddenly took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Gu Qingci, saying, "Oh, that's it. If that girl hadn't asked me to hand it over to you in person, I might have returned to my hometown."

Gu Qingci took the letter and took a look. There was no sign on the envelope. He then asked in confusion: "Brother Yan, who gave it to me?"

Uncle Yan suddenly sighed and said, "Of course it's your little wife. Oh, sir, why didn't you wake up early? If you persuade that girl, you can definitely leave her to give birth to a fat son for you. That girl is easy to cheat..."

Hearing Uncle Yan nagging, Gu Qingci knew that this must be Qin Keqing's letter to him. With the letter, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and muttered, "Are you leaving too?"

Gu Qingci opened the letter and said that the girl's notes were very beautiful and delicate, but she did not hide the openness and determination under the quiet appearance and unparalleled temperament. This word is as pure as the snow outside.

This letter is very simple, with only a few passages.

"Gu Qingci, don't forget that you owe me two things, a battle of life and death and a ten-mile peach blossom. Perhaps, this time I go back to Tianshan, I will go down the mountain again. If you are ready one day, come to Tianshan to find me, and I am in Jiange!"

After reading the letter, Gu Qingci was silent for a long time, slowly stood up, walked outside the house, looked at the distant mountains covered in silver, and murmured: "If you don't leave, I will be able to complete the agreement now and fight you for life and death. However, at that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you ten miles of peach blossoms!"

...

The Tianshan Mountains are particularly cold, with majestic snowflakes, and the snowy sky and snow. There are crystal clear icicles everywhere. The sky and the earth are snow-white, clean and bright, making people feel heart-wrenching.

In the snow and ice, there was a sword falling from the sky, her body was flawless, falling in front of a woman in a white Taoist robe. She slowly floated in the air, falling slowly, her eyes were indifferent, and only the sword under her feet was buzzing.

At this time, a Taoist nun in the same dress came from the other side of the snow-capped mountain, looked at Qin Keqing floating on the sword, and said softly: "Junior sister, aren't you going down the mountain for a year? Why are you suddenly back?"
