There are less than two days to go to the capital, and Xiaoyun is under the care of Meishu, and the high fever has subsided, but she still coughs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info She is so well-behaved and sensible that she surprises me, as long as there are other people around, she won't call me "mother", and only when the two of us are alone, she will call "mother".

She asked nervously: "Mother, Xiaoyun is reluctant to let you go, so she will secretly follow, did Xiaoyun cause trouble for her mother?" You're not angry with Xiaoyun, are you? "Looking at the child's rapidly emaciating little face, red from the cough, I felt very distressed, and I didn't have any reason to blame her. This child Bing Xue is smart, and she probably has sensed who her biological mother is, and she desperately wants to follow.

I comforted her and said, "Since you are here, you can stay here with peace of mind, there are still some troubles, you listen to your mother's arrangement, and when these things are over, our family can be reunited, okay?" ”

Xiaoyun nodded sensibly.

I walked to Lin Chenghong's cabin, where he and Wu Xiucheng were playing chess. They played chess all the way, and I'm afraid the mood was different. Lin Chenghong is light and light on everything, and there is nothing to do. And Wu Xiucheng clearly regarded the other party as a Khitan, and he used it for a pre-war drill in every chess game.

They didn't seem to be able to finish the game for a while, so I had to sit and wait. Wu Xiucheng said: "Is the princess here to watch the battle?" ”

Where was I in the mood to watch the battle, I was secretly anxious, and when I heard him ask, I hurriedly seized the opportunity and said, "I have something to discuss with Mr. Lin." ”

When Lin Chenghong heard this, he put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, turned his body to me and asked, "What does the princess command?" ”

"Is it okay for Mr. Lin to accept another apprentice?"

Lin Chenghong said with a smile: "There is no need to discuss such a trivial matter, the princess commands." ”

"This child can't be seen by Guogong, she is Youning's sister-in-law."

"Okay."

"Don't you ask, sir, why?"

"No, when you get off the boat, just let her go with my disciples."

I bowed to him gratefully, and wanted to stand up to say goodbye, Wu Xiucheng smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, how big is it worth worrying about all day?" How about I play chess with the princess? ”

I understand that I have been busy taking care of Xiaoyun for the past two days, and I have not had a smile for a long time. Apologetically said to Wu Xiucheng: "I'm about to get off the boat, I'll go see if everything is in order, General Wu should also clean up, how about the general go ashore and sit in our mansion for a while?" ”

Wu Xiucheng said: "No, after Xiucheng gets off the ship, he will go directly to the palace to see the driver, if the military situation is urgent, he will leave immediately." He looked at me, smiled calmly, and said, "Take care, princess." ”

I feel very sad in my heart, such a warm and happy Wu Xiucheng, but it's a pity that the Khitans will not show mercy to his subordinates for this.

"Wherever you go, you have to give a letter." I reluctantly said.

He hesitated for a moment, and said gently, "Okay, Xiucheng obeys the order." ”

When I finally arrived in the capital, I saw Lao Xu and a group of people at the pier to greet him from a distance.

said goodbye to Wu Xiucheng, looked at Xiaoyun's little figure wearing a veil, and a group of girls without revealing the mountains and waters, followed Lin Chenghong, and sat in the carriage behind, only then did he turn around and listen to Lao Xu's chatter.

Because Zhou Sinian doesn't like singing and dancing very much, the people in the house don't care about these girls, and they can't even remember their appearance. They can only move around freely in the Caiwen Academy, and when they need to leave the Caiwen Academy, they must have a temporary waist card issued by the government.

Sure enough, as Qingyang said, Zhou Sinian has not come back yet. He had already disembarked from the boat in Yuyang, followed the light car, changed horses along the way, and galloped all the way to the capital.

"Why are you in such a hurry? To what extent is the war in the north? Can't the Weice army stop the Khitans? ”

Lao Xu said heavily: "This is also a subordinate who wants to report to the princess, the Xue family, who is holding a funeral." The second son, Xue Cunce, died in battle. ”

My mouth opened wide in astonishment. Every time the Xue brothers returned to the capital, they would cause a commotion among the girls. That's a god of war.

"What about Xue Cunwei?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, the city lord will probably be back tomorrow, but he still has to go to see the driver. Will the lady go to the Xue Mansion to mourn by herself, or wait for the city lord to come back? ”

I thought that Xue Cunce died, and Zhou Sinian would have to go and see it no matter how busy he was, so he said: "Let's wait for the city lord to come back and go together, let's go back to the house first and prepare to meet him." The city lord himself came back first? And what about the people he brought? ”

Lao Xu said vaguely: "This subordinate doesn't know, did the city lord bring someone back?" Is it Miss Yun Ning? She doesn't know how to ride a horse, so she probably has to walk slowly behind. ”

I looked at him, and he looked innocent with a low brow, and I sneered in my heart. Pretending not to see his pretense, he called Yun Qi to the front and said, "This is Yun Gongzi, he is a guest in the mansion, you can find a suitable place for him to live in front." Lao Xu agreed respectfully.

After getting into the carriage, the convoy came all the way to Zhou's mansion, and a group of well-groomed cavalry rushed towards it, stirring up a piece of dust, and also arousing a group of chickens and dogs to bark. The general at the front, dressed in a military uniform, is heroic, like a branch and a tree, planted in the white water of Black Mountain, revealing a glass-like brilliance for life, and his dark and bottomless eyes are like a pool of deep water that floods people with nowhere to breathe.

Seeing the convoy of the Guogong Mansion, the cavalry slowed down slightly, and as soon as the general raised his hand, all the cavalry stopped neatly, and the general did not dismount, but directly arched his hand on the horse and said: "Li Junmao, the lowly Zhen'an Army, has seen Guogong." ”

Zhou Tong also immediately arched his hand and said: "I have seen General Li, this is the car of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

"Hasn't Guogong come back yet?" Li Junmao asked disappointed and anxiously.

Zhou Tong replied: "Guocheng changed horses along the road, rushed day and night, and believed that today and tomorrow will be able to get to Beijing." ”

Li Junmao nodded slightly, turned sideways, and the army behind also moved neatly to the right, making way for a road. After the convoy passed, it was gone.

The Zhen'an Army is a cavalry unit retrained by the imperial court on the basis of the cavalry of the Northern Army in order to confront the fierce Khitan cavalry, which is a very arrogant army from top to bottom, led by Li Junmao, the righteous son of Li Chaozong. The handsome General Li, who was loved by thousands of girls, was exactly the same as the commander of the Dragon Guard, and no one bought his account except Li Chaozong.

The convoy was walking, but saw a large mansion in front of it, and there were uniformed Yulin Army soldiers guarding the door. Then, from the gate, a group of prisoners were escorted out one after another, including old people, women, and children. They were handcuffed and shackled, pushed and staggered.

Seeing our convoy coming, the soldiers and prisoners stood still and let the convoy go first. I quietly looked at the plaque on the gate, which read "Shi Zhai". (To be continued.) )
