Chapter 33: The General Returns

Qing Yao looked up at the sky outside the window, and after a moment of silence, she said to Zuo Shi Ling'er: "Ling'er, it's not early, I'll go back first." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zuo Shiling'er was fiddling with her new clothes, and when she heard her words, she looked back in surprise.

"Sister Qingyao, will you leave after dinner?"

"It's not convenient to go back after dark. ”

Qing Yao softly declined the other party's invitation.

Wangdu is the only city without a curfew, so it has promoted 24-hour shops. From this point of view, it reflects the prosperity and prosperity of the royal capital.

When Zuo Shi Ling'er heard this, he pursed his lips slightly, and continued to stay: "I'll send someone to send you back, but it's really not okay, you can stay and live with me tonight." ”

Seeing this, Qing Yao had no choice but to change the topic and said, "General Zuo Shi is coming back today, and your family is reunited, so I won't bother." ”

When Zuo Shiling'er heard this, he paused, lowered his eyes and nodded.

"In that case, I'll send someone to pick you up the next afternoon. ”

Qing Yao knew that the birthday of the head of the Ziyang family was the day after tomorrow, so she bowed slightly: "Good ......"

"Sister Qingyao, I'll send you out......"

"Well, let's go. ”

The two of them spoke, slowly getting up.

Qing Yao stepped out of the gate of Zuo Shi's mansion, looked back at Zuo Shi Ling'er who came to see him off, waved his hand, and slowly left.

She looked up at the sun in the sky, lowered her eyes and muttered, "It's still a while before it gets dark, so it's time to go to the Rejuvenation Hall." ”

Qing Yao said, slowly speeding up her pace.

When she was walking alone on the street, she suddenly noticed that the pedestrians around her began to run quickly in one direction.

"What is this?"

She looked at the hurried pedestrians, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

At this time, there was a conversation between two passers-by who suddenly came from the side.

"Wait a minute......

"Don't bother, I heard that the general is about to arrive at the city gate. ”

"Yes, yes, let's hurry up, we won't be able to occupy a good position if it's late. ”

Qing Yao listened to the conversation of passers-by, and when she turned her head to look, the two of them only left her a back.

"It turned out that the general of the left division came back?"

She lowered her eyes and sighed, hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed the crowd.

"General...... General"

When she reached the North City Gate, the streets were already crowded with people. Countless people greeted and cheered loudly.

"Have you arrived?"

Qing Yao raised her eyes and looked at the city gate, only to see the crowd at the city gate, and she could barely see what was going on in front of her.

She had to stand on tiptoe and look up.

"Da Da Da ......"

Amid the cacophony of human voices, the clear sound of horses' hooves came slowly.

As the sound became clearer, a group of people slowly appeared at the city gate.

"Ah, it's the general......"

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd suddenly became agitated.

Qing Yao was unconsciously squeezed to the front as the crowd moved.

Only then did she finally see what was going on.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing armor and straddle a horse slowly coming. On his side, it was Zuo Shi Ruihao, who went to look for people.

The moment Qing Yao saw Zuo Shi Rui Hao, she suddenly understood that the middle-aged man she had just noticed was the returning general, Zuo Shi Qi Yue.

"General...... General"

Facing the cheers of the people, Zuo Shi Qi Yue still looked ahead with a cold expression. With his subordinates waving to the people, his maverick behavior did not cause anyone to be dissatisfied.

The onlookers became even more excited after seeing the general's cold face.

Qing Yao was constantly pushed forward by the people behind her, until she ran into the officers and soldiers who maintained order, and was slightly blocked, then she stopped and slowly stood firm.

"I heard that the general rushed back to participate in the birthday of the head of the Ziyang family......"

"I don't know don't talk nonsense, I heard Ah Niu from the house next door say that the general won the battle this time and was recalled by the saint......"

"I don't know how long the general will stay in the royal capital this time? Those rogues at the border pass are too hateful......

"Who knows if it's a rogue? After all, we don't know about those things......"

As the conversation continued, the topic began to drift off noticeably.

Qing Yao looked at the returning army and listened to the gossip of the people behind her.

She doesn't know much about many things, so she can't tell what's true and what's false.

"Well, I'd better go back before it gets dark. ”

Qing Yao thought silently in her heart for a while, and slowly stepped back.

After trying for a while, she finally withdrew from the crowd.

At this time, the officers on horseback had long since disappeared from everyone's sight, followed by uniformed soldiers.

"Da Da Da ......"

Gently shaking and listening to the sound of neat footsteps, he glanced back, and quickly turned to leave.

The onlookers did not disband because of the general's departure, but began to search for their loved ones in the ranks of soldiers.

When Qing Yao hurriedly came to the Rejuvenation Hall, she happened to meet Juniper to send away the last patient.

Juniper was about to turn around and go back, when he raised his eyes and saw the person standing by the door, he smiled lightly and called softly, "Senior Sister Qingyao, you're back." ”

"Well, Senior Brother Juniper, is Mr. Sun still there?"

Qing Yao replied lightly and asked about Sun Jian's whereabouts.

"Are you looking for a master? He's upstairs, let's go together." ”

Juniper said, motioning for the man outside the door to follow.

"Good. Qing Yao replied softly and slowly followed.

"Squeak......

"Master......"

"Mr. Sun......"

After hearing the soft call of the two, Sun Jian slowly put down the hair in his hand and raised his eyes to look over.

"Come here, I just have something to say to you both. ”

Seeing this, both of them walked over quickly.

Sun Jian looked at the two people standing in front of him, sighed deeply, and slowly narrated: "I got an invitation letter for the birthday of the head of the Ziyang family this time, and I can take two people to go, so you two can go with me this time." ”

When Qing Yao heard this, she lowered her eyes slightly and thought silently in her heart: "Shouldn't Mr. Sun take the two senior brothers Du Heng and Du Song to go?

She couldn't understand Sun Jian's attitude for a while, it was not the other party's disciple, so she was always more respectful than close to that person.

Just as she was thinking this, Juniper spoke first and shouted softly.

"Master, I'm ......"

"Song'er, is there something going on?" Sun firmly looked at his three apprentices and asked in a deep voice.

"Master, my brother ......"

"Mr. Sun!"

Qing Yao saw that Juniper had an embarrassed look on his face, thinking that he had already been invited by Zuo Shi Ling'er, and hurriedly shouted softly.

When the eyes of the two people present turned to each other, she chuckled and explained, "Mr. Sun, you can let Du Heng and Senior Brother Jun Song go together this time." Miss Zuo has already invited me to attend the birthday of the head of the Ziyang family......"

Qing Yao knew that it was much better for him to go in the name of Sun Jian's apprentice than to go with Zuo Shi Ling'er. However, in order not to occupy the quota, and she had already accepted Zuo Shiling's invitation, she politely declined the other party's kindness.
