Chapter 106: Before Departure

(Little master, run away, it's too late if you don't run!) )

(Mother!) Mother! I'm not going anywhere! I want to be with my mother! )

(Quick...... Take him away, go as far as possible, and never come back! )

"Mother......" Gao Che held on to the wooden railing of the balcony on the second floor of the cottage, and came back to his drunken state in a trance.

"What? Would you rather drink alone than come with me? Ling Rui walked upstairs with a jar of wine-scented peach blossom snow in his hand.

Facing the bright moonlight, the two of them began to talk while drinking and drinking.

"Brother Gao seems to be a little depressed, does Brother Gao have something on his mind?" Ling Rui asked with concern after carefully studying Gao Che's demeanor.

"Brother Ling, to be honest, I'm ...... In fact, I am not too willing to go to Jingzhou, so ...... After all, it's my sad place. After saying with a slight sigh, Gocher drank a bowl of wine alone.

At this moment, Chu Birou, who originally wanted to find Ling Rui to determine tomorrow's route, silently stayed near the entrance of the building after noticing the two people who were staying on the balcony at the moment.

"It just so happens that the moon and stars are scarce tonight, and there is also good wine, I don't know brother, can you tell me, a lost traveler, a touching story?" Ling Rui held the wine bowl in his hand and asked Gao Che with an expectant smile.

"Hehe, Brother Ling said that it was not touching, it was just the sad thing of a down-and-out person, and saying it would only make people feel sad. But since Brother Ling is willing to listen, I'll make a long story short. Gao Che raised his head to look up at the bright moon in the sky, and began to talk to Ling Rui thoughtfully.

That happened about ten years ago, when the childish Gao Che still lived in the palace of the Nanping Kingdom in Jingzhou, his father was Gao Jixing, the founding emperor of the Nanping Kingdom, and his mother was the emperor's concubine Wei Chi.

At that time, it coincided with the establishment of the Nanping Kingdom with the support of the Later Tang Dynasty, the political situation was unstable, and various forces at home and abroad were surging. So in this unfavorable situation, the founding emperor Gao Jixing was also extremely sensitive to all kinds of winds and grasses around him.

At that time, Gao Che's mother, Wei Chi, was very favored by the emperor because she was born with a beautiful appearance of the country and the city, and was kind-hearted and had no desire to compete for fame and fortune. So, the queen party who was jealous of Yu Chi's favor, took advantage of Emperor Gao Jixing's suspicion, and secretly hid the poem book satirizing Gao Jixing as the "child emperor" of the Later Tang Dynasty under Yu Chi's bed, and on a night when Gao Jixing favored Yu Chi's family, they used a fishing line to pull out a corner of the poem, so that it appeared in front of Gao Jixing's eyes in a grand manner.

"So, my brother's mother was deliberately framed to suffer this misfortune?" Ling Rui listened, and at the same time, he also became indignant as Gao Che spoke.

"Oh, my mother...... has been with that person for more than ten years, but even with such affection, it is still no match for a selfish heart that hides gains and losses. Goucher gritted his teeth and gulped down a bowl of wine.

Gao Che then goes on to recount that when Gao Jixing was unsurprisingly angered by the contents of the poem, his mother, Wei Chi, was soon imprisoned in the dungeon for possessing the forbidden book. It was not until the second month after the matter was settled that Yu Chi, who was suffering from a cold disease, was allowed by Gao Jixing to return to the place where she lived to recuperate.

So, during this period, because Yu Chi's reputation in the palace had fallen to the bottom, the young Gao Che naturally couldn't avoid being bullied and excluded by other brothers and sisters.

In order to keep him away from this dark place as much as possible while he could still protect Gao Che, one night, Yu Chi suddenly tied him while Gao Che was asleep, and then forcibly asked Aunt Lian, who had served her, to quietly take Gao Che away from the palace and came all the way to Chengdu, the capital of Shu Kingdom.

Soon after arriving in Chengdu, Aunt Lian also went because of a serious illness. At that time, I used to wander the streets and alleys of Chengdu without supervision, and only made a living by doing some odd jobs that were not too heavy, and often ate the last meal without the next meal. If it weren't for General Xiahou Xu, who took a fancy to me, who was not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, and led me into the barracks by mistake, I am afraid that until now, I would have been just an inconspicuous gangster wandering the streets of Chengdu. After telling his own story with great affection, Gao Che once again drank the half bowl of wine in his hand.

"In this way, Xiahou Xu, who helped King Mu frame King Jin's family, is the elder brother's Bole?" Ling Rui asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, Xiahou Xu...... The prestige among Xuanwuwei is not low, and it can even be said that all the generals above the adjutant level of Xuanwuwei have not disobeyed him. So until now, I still find it incomprehensible what he had done, how did General Xiahou Xu, who had always been known for his fairness in the barracks, suddenly become a traitor who framed Zhongliang? Goucher frowned and said in a somewhat confused tone.

"That'...... Since you haven't seen your mother and son for a long time, why don't you want to try to go back to your hometown to visit her? Seeing that Gao Che was a little excited when he talked about Xiahou Xulai, Ling Rui wanted to shift the topic to family affection at the right time.

"After all, before leaving, my mother told me to let me stay as far away from Jingzhou City as possible. Now, if I go against her wishes for me and go back to her hastily, I am afraid...... In the end, it will backfire on her, or...... It irritates me......" Gao Che said with a sad look on his face.

After saying this, there was a moment of silence between the two, and just as the two were about to make another bowl, Chu Birou actually came to the two of them with a wine bowl, and drank it all after pouring a bowl of wine from Gao Che.

"Xiao Rou'er drink slowly, I see that you don't usually drink, it's easy to choke when you drink like this." Seeing that Chu Birou was suddenly coughing desperately after drinking, Gao Che hurriedly patted her on the back and said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm happy today, come, I'll drink with you!" Chu Birou continued to drink with a happy smile, and at the same time, she also talked to Gao Che and Ling Rui about the appearance of her father and mother in her memory, as well as the bitter time when she was displaced after the destruction of the Shuitian Pavilion.

Chu Birou, who suddenly behaved unusually, made Gao Che and Ling Rui feel a little overwhelmed for a while, but after Chu Birou told everything that happened to her with a faint smile, the eyes of the two looking at her gradually became deep and gentle.

"Huh? What are you two in a daze, keep drinking! Since we are all people who share the same disease, we should support each other and care for each other! Heh, hehehehehe, when we find Xiaohe, we will ...... Belch...... Don't be separated again. Chu Birou, whose face was already flushed, took advantage of the strength of the wine that was gradually rising, and began to bravely open her heart to Gao Che and Ling Rui.

Gao Che agreed to Chu Birou very simply with a doting tone, while Ling Rui silently looked at the two people who were "flirting" beside him at the moment with a faint smile.

"Hey, you, go make a bowl of noodles for Miss Ben, Miss Ben is hungry!" Just as the three of them were immersed in a "peaceful" atmosphere and drinking together with the moon, Xing Mingming suddenly ran out in plain clothes and ordered Gao Che.

"Hey, I'd better go make noodles, Miss Chu looks a little drunk, you better help her go back to rest earlier." Ling Rui stopped Gao Che, and then he volunteered to make noodles for Xing Mingming.

After Ling Rui left, Gao Che helped Chu Birou, whose expression on her face had become happy or sad at the moment, and the two of them moved to Chu Birou's room with great difficulty.

"Hey, my room...... Belch...... On the first floor, why do you keep taking me here? Chu Birou shook her little red head and asked Gao Che in a crying or laughing tone.

"Don't tease me, I've always lived on the first floor, and I'm helping you into your own room!" Gao Che explained to Chu Birou with a little helplessness.

"You're talking nonsense, but I've always lived on the first floor, because I have to ...... all the time Belch...... Decoction for you who are easily injured! Tell me honestly, you brought me to your room, hehehe, what do you want to do? At this moment, Chu Birou, who was delirious, began to babble endlessly to Gao Che.

"What can I do? After I put you on the bed and lie down, I have to help Ling Rui make noodles, otherwise if this noodles dissatisfy the eldest lady, she will be like a bee in my ears all day long. Gao Che said as he prepared to free a hand to push open the door of Chu Birou's room, but when his hand just touched the door, Chu Birou suddenly kicked the door open with a strong kick, which instantly startled Gao Che.

"Hehehe, since you are so polite, then I will ...... Belch...... It's going to be one night in your room, don't mind, haha! Chu Birou pushed away Gao Che's hand that was holding her, and then she walked slowly to the side of the bed and lay down straight.

Gao Che looked helplessly and dotingly at Chu Birou, who was drowsy with his mouth pursed at the moment, and then he walked lightly to the side of the bed to help take off Chu Birou's shoes, and then he also gently covered Chu Birou's body with the quilt leaning on the side of the bed.

"Gao Che, you broken wood, stupid to death!" While Gao Che was helping to sort out the futon, Chu Birou suddenly began to continue to talk to Gao Che as if she were talking in a dream.

"Yes, you fell asleep first, and the wood will go back to his coal pile." After listening to Chu Birou's chatter, Gao Che laughed bitterly and whispered to himself.

However, when Gao Che arranged the futon and was about to leave the bedside, Chu Birou suddenly stretched out her left hand and grabbed the corner of Gao Che's cuff tightly.

"You're all gone, you don't want Rou'er anymore, what did Rou'er do wrong! Woo woo woo ......... Seeing Chu Birou suddenly crying like a little girl in front of her, Gao Che hurriedly leaned down to try to soothe her emotions.

After tossing and turning like this for a long time, Chu Birou finally fell asleep obediently. And Gao Che, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, was caressing Chu Birou's forehead at the moment, and with eyes as pure and shining as stars, he silently looked at her warm and beautiful face.

"It's hot, what the hell!" After a while, Chu Birou suddenly muttered again and shook off Gao Che's hand that was touching her forehead, which instantly made Gao Che only smile bitterly.

When it was about to leave the next morning, Gao Che came to Chu Birou's room and knocked on the door with a little confusion. However, no matter how loudly he shouted, no one inside responded.

When Gao Che entered the room, he found that the room was empty, except for a yellowed note on the table in front of the windowsill.

"If you want this girl's life, let Gao Che come to Jingzhou City Broken Dream Villa alone, an old friend who hasn't seen him for a long time is waiting for him." Gauche relayed the contents of the note to the others with a blank expression.

"Jingzhou again, there...... What's happening now? Intuition told Ling Rui that Chu Birou's capture might have something to do with Ouyang He's martial arts competition. But no matter what, their current goal is very clear, that is, to continue to move in the direction of Jingzhou, after all, their loved ones are trapped in the clutches of the evil forces in the rivers and lakes at the moment.
