Chapter 136: Return
Su Qin led everyone to rest in Quwo City that day. As soon as Su Qin entered Quwo City, he found that Quwo City, which had been released from the siege, was more prosperous than before, with a dazzling array of goods on both sides of the east-west street, and pedestrians on the street were bustling and lively.
Having just experienced a desperate battle with the Qin army, returning from the battlefield of nine deaths and a lifetime, the scene of peace and tranquility at first glance is really like a world away.
Wei Jia's sister and brother had lived in Quwo City for a long time, and they were very familiar with the inn in the city, and Wei Jia recommended everyone to live in an inn called "Hongyi" in the south of the city.
When Su Qin arrived at the Hongyi Inn, he remembered that it was the inn he used to take over the music and dance class last time. It's just that in the process of maturity, what kind of torment does people's hearts have to go through!
Su Qin was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, but he took everyone back to the east, so he naturally had to take responsibility, so he suppressed the loss in his heart from beginning to end.
The crowd booked three rooms at the inn, and the men and women lived separately and settled down for the time being. Su Qin asked the shopkeeper to prepare a meal and send it to the room, and everyone discussed the next step while eating.
Zhang Yi suggested that the group go to Qi Country as soon as possible, because even he himself has been out for more than half a year, not to mention that Su Qin has not yet fallen to Master Guigu, and his old man must be very anxious.
Thinking of Master Guigu's eagerness, Su Qin's eyes welled up with tears, and he nodded in agreement, but he took into account the situation of Wei Jia's sister and brother instead: they should rest and recuperate in a quiet environment, and slowly heal the pain of losing their relatives again.
Su Qin explained where his thoughts were, and Wei Jia saw that Su Qin was worried about himself, and his heart was gently touched, as if he saw a warm flame in the cold.
She is also a strong woman, who has gone through all kinds of hardships in her early years, but has not been destroyed, so she does not want to become a stumbling block to everyone's actions at this moment. Wei Jia said: "Please Mr. Su don't worry about our sister and brother, we will get through, you can arrange your own itinerary, we will follow you all the way, and we will not cause trouble to everyone."
The more Wei Jia said this, the more Su Qin couldn't bear to let her follow him anymore, he clasped his hands tightly, and pondered hard.
Su Dai saw his brother's thoughts, and he also had a special situation: he left the Qin State with Gao Yangang, and he didn't want Gao Yangang to leave the danger, so he hurriedly embarked on a journey.
Su Dai had an idea and came up with a solution. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said unhurriedly, "Since running and resting can't be combined, I think we can split into two ways. One way, my brother and brother Zhang went to see the master and report that they were safe; The other way followed me to Luoyang, where I settled down. I happen to have business to take care of in Luoyang City, and I have been away long enough, and I will have some benefits when I go back. ”
Su Qin looked at his cousin, bowed his head deeply, and praised his method, with a look of relief on his face.
Zhang Yi immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Junior Brother Su is young, and he can always come up with some clever tricks at critical times, which makes Senior Brother Zhang sigh to myself." Your Su family's business in Luoyang is very large, these four or five people follow you, life is not a problem at all, it is really the best of both worlds. ”
Ning Jun also thought that what Su Dai said was reasonable, so he echoed Zhang Yi and praised Su Dai a few words. Su Dai saw that everyone was appreciative of his method, but he was a little embarrassed and blushed. Gao Yan had a smile on her charming face, looking at her little lover with tenderness and sweetness, and was deeply proud of him.
Su Dai had a little regret in his heart, and said: "I am also very concerned about Mr. Guigu, if my brother and Brother Zhang see him, I must tell him the old man, saying that Su Dai misses him very much, let him take good care of his health." When I had a chance, I went to visit him in the country of Qi. ”
Su Dai said, his eyes were red, he didn't want to cry in front of everyone, so he turned his head and looked out the window. Zhang Yi comforted Su Dai and said, "Little Brother Su, don't worry, we will definitely bring your words." The situation of his old man will be described to you in detail when we come back from Qi Kingdom. ”
Su Qin reached out and touched his brother's arm as a sign of comfort. Su Dai also tried to calm down, he turned his head, forced out a smile to everyone, and said, "What are we all waiting for, hurry up and eat." ”
Seeing that Su Dai's mood was improving, everyone also used their meals happily. After eating, the sky was already dark, and Su Qin proposed to go to Quwo City together, and everyone readily agreed.
Su Qin and the others wandered along the main street of Quwo, they had just experienced a careful and moving escape, and now that the dust had settled, their mood was naturally much more relaxed.
Wei Jia and the brothers returned to the old place, and showed the friendship of the landlord, so they introduced the specialties and customs of Quwo to everyone, and everyone listened attentively to their explanation.
Su Qin observed the expressions of Wei Jia's sisters and brothers, and found that when they spoke, their mood would be much better, and he thought that he should distract them, so as to guide them to gradually ease from their great sorrow. Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be very curious about various properties along the way, and teased Wei Jia's sister and brother to talk a lot.
Gao Yan and Su Dai held hands, walking side by side along the way, Gao Yan was a bird, happiness was written on her face, and her thoughts about Qin Guo and her parents were diluted a lot by Qu Wo's sight and experience and her lover's love.
Zhang Yi always put on a big matchmaker posture in front of the little couple of the Su Dynasty, and kept making fun of the two of them, which made the little couple blush several times.
The group talked and laughed, and walked until the shops closed before returning to the inn. When he arrived at the inn, the store was just about to close, and when he saw the energetic state of Su Qin and other young people, he shook his head and said to himself: "You young people are still full of energy, and they only came back after this little time." ”
The shopkeeper's muttering was very quiet, and Su Qin noticed that he was talking, but he didn't hear what he was saying. Su Qin looked at the shopkeeper and suddenly remembered something, so he asked the shopkeeper: "Let me ask you about something, may I ask if it is still General Chen Xu who guards this Quwo City?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced back at Su Qin, looked stunned, and replied, "Alas, what year are you talking about!" Chen Xu is now the state minister of our Wei state, and he rose to prominence soon after his victory over the Qin army in Quwo. ”
Su Qin let out an "oh" and replied, "Thank you, thank you, it seems that my news is really too old!" ”
He thought in his heart: "Chen Xu's military exploits in Quwo back then actually made him the prime minister, which shows how difficult it is for Wei to win a war with Qin." ”
He was happy for Chen Xu, and secretly thought to himself: "If you want to attack Qin in the future, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of two or three princes, and you must unite all the princes in the east to do it!" ”
