Chapter 222: Go North
Under Xiaobai's cautious care, Banxia calmly sorted out the package, went to the back mountain to say goodbye to Wuwu, and then said goodbye to Aunt Li and Uncle Li, and finally notified the old man, and took Xiaobai on the road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Aunt Li and Uncle Li hired a carriage for Banxia, from Qinghe Village to Northern Xinjiang, I don't know how much distance to go, but Banxia is like a precipitation after venting, experienced the mania of the first night, and slowly returned to its usual appearance, not only did not dislike the distance too far, but also did not eagerly want to fly to Northern Xinjiang at once.
Xiaobai followed Banxia closely, he was still wearing the clothes that Banxia made for him, he looked very smart, he really looked like a moving fairy, no matter where he went, there would be people who wanted to talk to him happily, especially those little girls and old ladies.
Banxia smiled and watched Xiaobai being surrounded again, her eyes looked into the distance, and she was not unhappy because Xiaobai was stopped and delayed, and even when someone asked Xiaobai's identity, she could still smile and replied: "My brother." ”
Xiaobai didn't want to talk to outsiders at first, but seeing that Banxia also climbed up his cheeks because of other people's smiles, he intentionally or unintentionally guided others to laugh, purely to add laughter to Banxia.
But he is too festive, more and more want to talk to him, Xiaobai is not a warm temperament, and he soon gets annoyed, so he hides in Banxia's arms, holding Banxia's arm and coquettish, no matter how many others look at him and want to be close to him, he doesn't give anyone a look.
Banxia wanted to go far away, even if she was in a hurry, Aunt Li and Uncle Li still found a sturdy carriage for Banxia, and the old man even hired two villagers for Banxia to protect him, although Banxia couldn't see anything wrong with the two villagers, but the old man's thoughts, plus her a girl with Xiaobai such a small boy, she couldn't go out of the house without a bad thing, so she accepted it with peace of mind.
The two villagers are usually not very familiar with Banxia, Banxia has not even met them, Banxia doesn't know if these two people are from Qinghe Village, and where did the old man find the people, because the villagers' behavior is no different from ordinary villagers, Banxia does not have any suspicions, and she treats the two of them very peacefully.
The two of them are more respectful to her than Banxia seems, many times Banxia even has an illusion, as if she is surrounded by two people with strong martial arts, occasionally inadvertently, Banxia can also find the cold eyes of the two, she wants to doubt, but people take good care of her, but they are not overstepping, as if she is a young lady, even Banxia can't find any fault, can only praise the old man's kung fu to make friends is too powerful.
Xiaobai looked at the two from the beginning, and acted as a harmless cute boy and did not interfere with the old man's arrangement.
After more than ten days, they finally arrived at the border of northern Xinjiang.
The closer you get to northern Xinjiang, the more you can hear a lot about Dingguo and his wife.
Banxia always thought that as long as the eldest princess and the emperor were still in a tug-of-war, then there would be no big problems with the Gongsun family and the Dingguo Mansion, but the truth was not so ideal.
In ancient times, the spread of news was always very slow, and the news of the bravery of the hussar generals that Banxia heard before did not know how long ago it came out, and the northern Xinjiang changed every day, and many things often could not reach Banxia's ears in the shortest time.
Banxia didn't expect that the couple of Dingguo would be so difficult now.
Xiaobai lifted the curtain and glanced outside, turned his head to Banxia and said, "In three days, we will be able to reach the northern frontier." ”
Banxia was very happy in her heart, but she still suppressed her emotions and didn't let herself show too much emotion, and said calmly: "That's good, I hope I can catch up." ”
What can catch up?
Xiao Bai put down the curtain and looked at Banxia sitting in the carriage, it had been so many days, Banxia would always say a few very strange words from time to time, Xiao Bai wanted to get to the bottom at first, but after countless times without results, Xiao Bai knew that Banxia would not tell him, and then he just listened, and he didn't have to know why Banxia said those strange things.
Banxia knew that Xiaobai was worried about her, and the closer she got to the northern Xinjiang, the more obvious Xiaobai's worry about her became, but Banxia didn't want to transfer her pain to others, she hoped that she could sort out her thoughts and consider whether to tell the people around her about the past.
Xiaobai and Banxia faced each other, and heard the discussion outside again.
"Do you know? The holy decree has arrived, and the emperor has asked Dingguo Gong to withdraw his troops. ”
"Withdraw the troops? Stop fighting? Do so many innocent people and soldiers who died not care about it?"
"Does the imperial court take the northern frontier to heart, why is it that every time such a thing is encountered, it is to negotiate peace, isn't it us who wins?"
"That's right, why did the imperial court cede the land and let the Dingguo Duke receive the fine, what is going on?"
Xiao Bai frowned and glanced outside, then turned his head back and looked at Banxia's expression fixedly.
Banxia didn't have any expression on his face, but his eyelids seemed to jump twice after hearing more and more noisy rounds.
Xiaobai obviously saw Banxia's ears move, and the voices outside became more and more unscrupulous.
I don't know if it's because of being far away in the north, many people are not so respectful when they talk about the court and the emperor, and even many words are full of disrespect, but they are not afraid, and no one scolds them, and the discussion is getting louder and louder, more and more.
Xiao Bai and Banxia heard someone roaring angrily: "It's all the waste of the imperial court, they don't know how to march and fight, they don't know how to defend the family and the country, and they are always dragging their feet behind! If it weren't for them, would the Western Zhou Dynasty be like this?"
"But the court wants so much, what can we do? Grandpa Guo has already said that no matter what orders the emperor and the court give, we must obey them, this is not the first time, but Grandpa Guo still can't see clearly!"
"It's not that the grandfather of the country can't see clearly, but the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. ”
"Pedancious!" I don't know who spat on it, and I can't wait to eat the gang of people in the court who stir up the water, and said indignantly: "If the king is not the king, why should the minister be the minister?"
"What you said is not right, Grandpa Guo said that the world is the world of the Western Zhou Dynasty, not anyone's alone, so we can't act arbitrarily. ”
"Grandpa Guo is right, the world is the world of the Western Zhou Dynasty, not the emperor alone, why is Grandpa Guo fighting at the border, but they have to hide behind and listen to the villain and speculate wildly?"
