As soon as the sky was bright, Xue Lang had already gotten up, and today was the day to set off for Chang'an. After Xue Lang finished washing, Lamei and Winter Solstice had quickly packed the remaining things and put them on the carriage.

After breakfast, got into the carriage, and prepared to go—

Xue Lang followed the princess together, and the ones who walked in the front were naturally the guards of Princess Pingyang, followed by Xue Lang's, and then the other subordinates of the princess's mansion.

Li Hongjie led all the officials and generals under his command to see him off. The scout who was exploring the way in front came to say: "Your Highness, the people near Weize Pass heard that Your Highness was going back to Chang'an, and spontaneously gathered to see off Your Highness. ”

Princess Pingyang was slightly stunned and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

"Whoa."

Princess Pingyang walked forward quickly, and Han Jin, Xue Lang and others followed.

Sure enough, beside the official road, there were people gathered in the black press, and the people were either holding dustpans or baskets in their hands, steaming from themselves. At the head of the crowd were the respected elders who had been elected by the people, and their beards were all gray and drooping old.

Even if Princess Pingyang is in a high position, in the face of such an elder, she hurriedly walked a few steps quickly and greeted her: "How can Pingyang be able to bother the elders to see them off?" It's cold in winter, so go home quickly, so as not to get cold and hurt your body. ”

The elder said: "Thank you general, however, the general wants to return to Chang'an, how can the old man not come!" Since the general came to Weize Pass for more than three years, he has put down bandits and suppressed the arrogant and strong, so that our people can live and work in peace and contentment, and never close their doors at night. Since the general came, no Turkic cub dared to plunder! We are grateful for the general's virtue and politics. The general is a princess, the status is noble, I Wei Zeguan can be blessed by the general for more than three years, it is a blessing, the old man does not dare to keep the general, the only thing to do is to see off the general, I hope the general has a smooth journey, Qingji and peace. Take care, General! ”

The old man bent down and saluted, and the people behind him also saluted, shouting: "Take care, general!" ”

Princess Pingyang took two steps forward and helped the elder up: "How dare you accept the elder's courtesy!" Seniors, please! Folks, Pingyang will meet by chance, leading troops to garrison in Weize Pass, these more than three years, thank you for your support and love. Everyone's kindness, Pingyang's heart, the winter is cold, go home quickly! ”

The elder wiped his eyes and said, "General, we are reluctant to let the general leave, so let's send it off." ”

"Yes, just let me wait to send the general."

Li Hongjie, who was on the side, said: "Your Highness, since the villagers are full of enthusiasm, let everyone give it a ride." ”

Princess Pingyang glanced around with a calm gaze, sighed slightly, and said: "Okay, say goodbye today, I don't know when we can get together again, Pingyang has thanked everyone, thank you!" ”

After all, it is a salute to the crowd. The elder hurriedly said, "Don't dare to be a general." The general was seriously injured and was just recovering from his injuries, so he asked the general to get in the car, and let me wait for the general's carriage and horse to give him a ride and talk about his feelings. And, General, please bring this basket of steamed cakes and eggs. This cake is a handful of noodles, gathered together to steam, this egg, also made by everyone, talk about everyone's farewell to the general, please accept it. ”

"Please take it, General!"

A piece of sincerity, touching and heartfelt.

Princess Binh Duong is not a person who does not eat fireworks in the world, and knows that it is cold in winter and eggs are hard to find. It is not easy for everyone to make up a basket of eggs for her, and she doesn't shirk much, and says directly: "Your wishes, Pingyang accepts them." First snow. ”

Chu Xue immediately stepped forward, took the steamed buns and eggs in the elder's hand, and then took ten copper coins to the elder. The elders naturally don't want to, Princess Pingyang said: "The elders should know that Pingyang is a person, and since I came to Weize Pass, the soldiers under my command must not take a stitch from the people without permission, and if there is a violation, the military law will deal with it." The so-called good beginning and good ending, Pingyang is going to leave Weize Pass today, how can the elders bear to let Pingyang take the lead in disobeying the order? Please take it! ”

The elder hesitated slightly, and then said: "Okay, the general's military orders are like a mountain, and the old man also knows it." If you come to see off today, you can come to receive a copper coin, so that the majesty of the general can protect the children from growing up safely. ”

It's a good idea. Princess Pingyang also nodded with satisfaction.

The elder said, "Please get in the car." ”

The people also shouted: "Please get on the car!" ”

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Princess Pingyang solemnly saluted the crowd, and then got into the carriage, and before getting into the car, she called Han Jin and Xue Lang over: "Yuexian, Youyang, and thank the villagers on my behalf." ”

Han Jin and Xue Lang hurriedly responded: "Huh." ”

The two of them received the order, Han Jin was on the left and Xue Lang was on the right, and they accompanied the villagers who came to see them off, and walked a whole mile. At this point, Han Jin said: "Han has thanked the villagers for their kindness, the road is far away, the weather is cold, and the elders are old, please go back." ”

The elder wept and said, "If you only walk one mile, you will not be able to do it, and the old decay is too useless." Anyway, the old man will be sent here, sons, and then send the general on my behalf. ”

"Whoa."

The elder listened to the advice to stay, and Han Jin and Xue Lang got into the carriage. But the people who saw them off refused to go back, and together with Li Hongjie, they sent ten miles away.

Xue Lang saw the ups and downs of his heart, the eyes of the people were bright, although Princess Pingyang was not the official in charge, but because of her, no official in Weize County or even the entire state and county dared to bend the law for bribes, even if it was a local scholar, most of them followed the rules and did not dare to mess around. The people know that, that's why they have the friendship of helping the old and the young to send ten miles to each other today.

Xue Lang hopes that if he has the opportunity to govern in the future, he does not ask for such a grand occasion, but only asks that when he leaves office, the people will not set off firecrackers to celebrate, but when they talk about him, they will evaluate that Xue Lang is quite qualified as an official.

When she arrived at Shili Pavilion, Princess Pingyang got off the carriage again, and asked Li Hongjie, who was seeing off, to go back, and also asked the people who came with the team to see her off all the way back. Princess Pingyang said loudly: "Everyone's friendship, Pingyang is grateful, please go back!" ”

"General! We are reluctant to general! ”

"General! Is it really impossible to stay any longer? ”

"General......

When it was really time to separate, some people couldn't suppress their feelings anymore and started crying, one person cried, and the others couldn't help but cry too, and Princess Pingyang also had red eyes and was silent.

"General!"

A young woman squeezed forward, still holding a child in her arms, and choked up: "Three years ago, it was the general who was the master of the slave and helped the slave's father to redress grievances. ”

Seeing this, everyone who had received the favor of Princess Pingyang rushed to come up and kowtow. Princess Pingyang had red eyes, and in addition to letting everyone get up, she was a little clumsy in words for a while.

After calming down a little, Princess Pingyang said: "Everyone, please get up, the past was just a gesture, and you don't deserve such a heavy courtesy." Today's farewell, I hope everyone will live and work in peace and contentment as in the past, and Pingyang will be at ease in Chang'an. Pingyang said goodbye, don't send it again, and I'll be angry if I send it again! ”

After speaking, he saluted again, and then got into the carriage without hesitation, and no longer lifted the curtain to look out. Seeing this, the people didn't dare to send it again, so they just stood in place, watched Princess Pingyang's car, and slowly walked away.
