Chapter 256: Thousands of Miles Away
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. [com] early in the morning, outside the city of Bianjing, outside the Shuntian Gate. γFor more exciting, please visitγ
Shuntianmen, commonly known as Xinzheng Gate, is the first city gate in the southwest of Bianjing, and Wu Zhi entered the city from here when he came to Bianjing.
Now that Wu Zhi has left Bianjing, he naturally has to pass through here.
Leading the horse, Wu Zhi walked all the way from the inner city Fan Tower to here, and in addition to Ling'er, who came early this morning, there were only Bai Sheng, Guan Xia, Tang Long, Lao Zhou, these backbone members of Bianjing, and of course Zhao Gou also came.
Brother Yun took the hat, and Shi Qian with a retinue also led the horse and followed Wu Zhi silently.
"Okay, it takes a farewell to send you a thousand miles away, so you can send it here!" Already out of the city gate, Wu Zhi waved his hand at Bai Shengguan Xia and them.
"Take care all the way!"
"Take care!"
After everyone stopped, they bowed down and gave a farewell salute to Wu Zhi.
"That's it! The newspaper is published today, so go back! Lao Bai, Xiao Gou, must give me the newspaper to run a prosperous life! β
Today is also the day when the Bianjing Daily is released, and Wu Zhi can't help but instruct Bai Sheng and Zhao Gou again, the newspaper has been printed, and Wu Zhi also has a copy in his hand, but he hasn't had time to read it yet.
However, Wu Zhi left Bianjing, in order to keep a low profile, Wu Zhi did not let them report it, otherwise it would be a big news for Wu Daguan to leave Beijing.
"Rest assured, today's 500,000 newspapers have been sold out early in the morning!" Bai Sheng couldn't hide his excitement.
"Hmm..."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ling'er was still tangled in the corners of his clothes by Wu Zhi's side, and after everyone said goodbye to Wu Zhi, they all left with interest, but Zhao Gou's face was a little stiff and he stood far away in front of the city gate, as if he was a little afraid that Wu Zhi would kidnap his seventh sister.
"Great official, we are waiting for you in front."
After Brother Yun and Shi Qian took a group of entourages to fight horses and go first, Ling'er finally reached out and grabbed Wu Zhi's arm, her big eyes were already moist, and they were full of reluctance.
Looking at Ling'er who was pouting and about to cry, Wu Zhi gently hooked her nose, and said with relief: "Silly Ling'er, don't be sad, I'm just leaving temporarily, I will definitely come to you." β
"I know..."
Ling'er sniffed and looked at Wu Zhi with a bitter face, tears still flowed involuntarily.
"But I'm just sad in my heart......"
Seeing that Ling'er's thin shoulders kept twitching gently, Wu Zhi was also very disappointed in his heart, and he reached out with pity and wiped the tears on Ling'er's face with his thumb.
Wu Zhi said: "Ling'er, don't be sad, although I am no longer by your side, but when you see this in the future, it will be like seeing me!" β
As he spoke, Wu Zhi took out an emerald green flute from behind him like a trick, shook it in front of Ling'er's eyes, and said with a smile: "Hmm... I've known Ling'er for so long, and I haven't given Ling'er a gift! This jade flute was specially chosen for you, in order to buy it, I broke my leg in Bianjing a few days ago. β
The flute is a whole piece of emerald jadeite finely carved, with a few golden hoops on it, hanging a colored knot, the emerald green flute body mouthpiece has a little natural red color, shaped like a lark, in Bianjing's oldest jade shop, Wu Zhi fell in love with this flute at a glance, and did not hesitate to buy the flute at a staggering price.
Such a smart flute is like it was born for Ling'er, even if the price is doubled, Wu Zhi will not hesitate to buy it.
Sure enough, when Ling'er saw the flute, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, grabbed the flute, and then cherished it in her arms, for fear that the flute would be wanted back by Wu Zhi.
"Sample, this flute has been reinforced, and it will not break easily, but you also have to be careful to keep it, don't beat people with this......" Wu Zhi touched his nose and laughed at Ling'er.
"Hee-hee! If you want to beat someone, you will be beaten with a flute! Ling'er smiled beautifully, "Don't worry, I will keep it well, and I will learn to play the flute well when I go back......"
Hearing that Ling'er couldn't play the flute, Wu Zhi was surprised, it turned out that this little talented girl didn't know everything!
However, Wu Zhi believes that with Ling'er's ice and snow intelligence, he will soon be able to learn to play the flute.
"That's right!"
Wu Zhi seemed to remember something, and after taking out a piece of paper from his arms and giving it to Ling'er, Wu Zhi said: "This is a new song, Ling'er can use this as a flute score." β
Ling'er took the score, unfolded it, and read it softly.
"The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes are like the sea, I wait for the swallow to return. The time is arranged, play an accident, and you quietly walk away......"
After reading a few words, she seemed to be infected by the lyrics, and Ling'er's eyes moistened again.
"Xingxing, are you really leaving?"
"Learn to play the flute well, and when I come back, I'll listen to you play it to me......"
Wu Zhi touched Ling'er's little head, then withdrew his hand rawly, turned around helplessly and quickly stepped onto the horse.
"I'm gone......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The morning light was faint, and the figures on the official road were long.
The two were very calm when they separated, Wu Zhi rode away on a horse, Ling'er held the flute in one hand and the lyrics in the other, looking at Wu Zhi in the distance stupidly, she was holding back the tears in her eyes, because once the tears flowed, the people in the distance would become blurred......
The breeze came, and the lyrics in Ling'er's hand swayed a few times, and the four eye-catching black characters on the title stretched "Thousands of Miles Away" in the wind.
After drifting away from Ling'er, Wu Zhi joined Brother Yun and Shi Qian, and began to officially leave Bianjing and march in the direction of Qingzhou.
Now it is in the suburbs of Bianjing, there is still a long way to go out of the boundary of Bianjing, although it is early in the morning, but the wide official road is still full of traffic, people come and go, Wu Zhi They want to run wild is also impossible.
In order to alleviate the sorrow of parting, Wu Zhi took out the Bianjing Daily and read it on horseback.
This is the advantage of walking slowly, even if you don't drive deliberately, the horse will not hit people or fall behind.
Wu Zhi has a habit of reading newspapers, that is, looking from the back to the front. Generally, the important content of newspapers is on the front page, but it is precisely because it is on the front page that it attracts more attention, and this kind of information is often of little value to businessmen, and most of the front pages are flashy and unrealistic, and there are many topics that attract attention.
In contrast, the content behind the newspaper is rich and has a lot of connotation, and reading it first often gives people a lot of inspiration.
The Bianjing Daily is about the same as the Qingzhou Daily, that is, the number of pages is many more pages than the Qingzhou Daily, Bianjing is much larger than Qingzhou, and there is a government affairs section, a summary of important news from all over the Song Dynasty, and so on, and it is normal to have more pages.
The last edition is the social miscellaneous section, and the penultimate edition is the literature section, Wu Zhi roughly flipped through it, Zhao Gou really has a talent in this area, and the literary section actually brought Zhou Yanbang to open a literary column...... This young man has a lot of ideas!
Bianjing's miscellaneous affairs and literature have nothing to do with Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi doesn't care, he cares about the government affairs section, so after flipping through it at random, Wu Zhi turned to the government affairs section.
Looking at the government affairs section, Wu Zhi suddenly gasped, and the first news was about the in-depth analysis and criticism of the problem of "redundant officials" in the imperial court, directly pointing out that redundant officials were a big problem that the Great Song Dynasty had to solve. The latter piece of news is even more terrifying, it is actually a satire that the chief and deputy ministers of the imperial court do not cooperate with each other, and they are fighting openly and secretly......
Fortunately, it was Zhao Gou who was the chief reporter, if it was someone else, Wu Zhi would immediately return to Bianjing and order the newspaper to rectify!
Otherwise, wait for it to be seized by the imperial court.
However, Zhao Gou is also very smart, most of the government affairs section is the interpretation and report of the imperial court's policies, there are only a few scary articles, and the signatures are all the words of the imperial court's court.
Seeing this, Wu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Gou was very smart, and Wu Zhi was very relieved.
As he walked, Wu Zhi disrupted his thoughts with a noisy sound, and when he looked ahead, he saw that there was a crowd of people at an intersection in front of him, and everyone on the road wanted to enter that intersection, as if there was something precious inside.
"What's up ahead?" Wu Zhi asked Shi Qian.
"I don't know, maybe there's something interesting at the intersection, no wonder there are so many people on this official road early this morning......"
Wu Zhi thought about it for a while, and felt a little strange, just after leaving the city gate today, Wu Zhi felt that something was wrong, early in the morning, the people went out of the city to play, as if they were in a hurry to go to something.
"Could it be that there is a temple fair or something in front of you?"
"Possibly." Brother Yun replied, "In front of it is Jinmingchi, where celebrations are often held. β
Wu Zhi turned his head to look at the green tiles and white walls on the right side of the road, and said in his heart that this is the Qionglin Garden he saw when he first came, and it was Jin Mingchi in front of him.
"Regardless of him, let's get past that intersection soon, and the road behind should be clean."
Sure enough, as Wu Zhi guessed, people flocked to the royal garden Jinming Pond from that intersection, and after passing that intersection, the official road was really much cleaner, and after a few carriages carrying goods ran over, it was Wu Zhi's team of people.
Seeing that he was about to see Jin Mingchi, Wu Zhi couldn't help but be curious, although he couldn't go over to see what the activity was in person, but he was about to pass by Jin Mingchi, and he could see the performance on Jin Mingchi clearly from a distance on the road.
If it's good-looking, it's okay to stop and watch it on the official road.
"That's right!"
Wu Zhi patted his head, this kind of activity that attracted so many people in the city to watch must be a big event, since it is a big event, the newspaper must have reported it.
Thinking about it, Wu Zhi hurriedly flipped through the newspaper, and after a while, Wu Zhi had already turned to the front page.
After seeing the front page, Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the front page read, "Master Li will perform in Jinmingchi this morning", and the official family, the prime minister and all the emperor's relatives will come.
Wu Zhi was puzzled...... Why did Master Li choose to hold a concert in Jinmingchi so early? Concerts don't usually start at night?
Although there are officials in charge of this performance, and there are many big names, Wu Zhi still vaguely feels that Master Li's concert this time is ......
Seem...... Just to wait for someone's like.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi's old face was slightly red, thinking about it, what kind of person Master Li is, of course he can't hide it from her when he leaves, but he didn't even say hello to people today, so he was really embarrassed.
After a while, Wu Zhi could already see the Jinming Pond, a platform was built on the water surface of the Jinming Pond, according to the topography of the Jinming Pond, the platform should have faced south or north, so that it was convenient for the audience to enjoy.
But at this time, the platform on Jin Mingchi was facing the direction of the official road to the east, and he vaguely saw Master Li holding the pipa on the stage, and Wu Zhi's face suddenly turned hot.
As soon as Wu Zhi walked within the range of Jin Mingchi, Master Li on the stage also seemed to have discovered Wu Zhi, and suddenly, the drums on the stage sounded in unison, and the music rang out.
Immediately after, a clear and melodious voice reached Wu Zhi's ears.
"The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes are like the sea, I wait for the swallow to return.
The time is arranged, play an accident, and you quietly walk away.
The story is outside the city, and the thick fog can't be dispersed, and the dialogue can't be seen clearly.
You can't hear it, the wind doesn't exist, it's me who sighs. β
Listening to the familiar melody and intoxicating and complaining singing, Wu Zhi was heartbroken for a while, Li Shishi sang "A Thousand Miles Away" that Wu Zhi gave her the day before yesterday, no wonder Wu Zhi didn't hear Bianjing sing this song in recent days, it turned out that Li Shishi had not sung it.
Originally...... She's waiting for today!
"Wake up from the dream, who is on the windowsill, and open the ending.
The future, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, can't stand up to anyone to demolish it.
I'll send you away, thousands of miles away, you are silent black and white.
The silent era, maybe not, too far away love.
I'll send you away, beyond the end of the world, whether you are still there.
Where does the sound of the piano come from, life and death are hard to guess, spend your whole life waiting for ......"
Master Li sang this song affectionately on the stage, and since she saw Wu Zhi appear, she lowered her head and sang this song seriously, and never looked in the direction of Wu Zhi again.
And Wu Zhi, when he heard Master Li sing this song, he also closed his eyes and listened carefully, but he didn't stop for a moment, still maintained a leisurely speed, and slowly walked past this Jinming Pond.
For Master Li's well-intentioned send-off, Wu Zhi was moved in his heart and had a lot of thoughts, just as the lyrics sang, "The future that is as thin as a cicada's wings can't stand who will tear it down"!
As he drifted away, although his singing voice gradually weakened, it seemed that it would never disappear, and the melody and Master Li's outpouring of singing kept lingering in Wu Zhi's ears......
The shadow of the Hibiscus boat is still there, but you don't come back
I am covered with time, and the flower you said blooms into a blank in the past
Dream wakes up who opens the ending on the windowsill
The future that is as thin as a cicada's wings can't stand up to anyone to tear it down
I'll send you away thousands of miles away, you're silent, black and white
The silent era may not be too far away to love
I'll send you away from the end of the earth, are you still there?
Where does the sound of the piano come from, life and death are hard to guess, and it takes a lifetime to wait
