All the way back, Chunzhi and his party suffered a lot.
Relying on this mere five taels of silver and this broken mule cart, they dodged the encirclement and interception of the pursuing soldiers all the way, and moved to the gate of the capital with difficulty.
Along the way, Chunzhi sighed countless times in his heart - fortunately there was Feng's family, and fortunately Chai Dong was determined to take Feng's family for his own use. If it weren't for Yaqiu Yadong who she trained single-handedly, if she only took two girls casually, how could they have the ability to get rid of the pursuers all the way, and repeatedly create all kinds of illusions to lead people to other roads?
Not to mention, along the way, Yaqiu Yadong also took matters into his own hands and repaired the mule cart much firmer. The old mule was also replaced by an old horse in the next town, and the old horse was exchanged for a sturdy little donkey.
As for the things that were laid out on the car before, they also threw them away and replaced them with clean and tidy mattresses.
In this way, the people are still these people, but the car is completely new, which increases the difficulty of tracking that group of people.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to survive the day of returning to Beijing with difficulty.
At this time, it was already a full month after the incident.
The journey that could be reached in less than half a month was doubled by them.
However, now Harukeda is in no mood to care about the question of time or not. Seeing that the magnificent city gate was getting closer and closer to her, her mood was getting better and better.
Beijing, I'm finally back!
At this time, I suddenly saw someone in front of me carrying a gong out, and it struck it several times. Then, the man shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen who have entered the city, this official asks you again, have you seen the lady of the northern kingdom in the portrait?" If anyone has seen it, just report it, and if you find it, the person who provides the clue will definitely be rewarded! Our people from the Northwest Hou Mansion are also waiting here all day, and we will definitely not delay the slightest news about Madame! ”
This person Chunzhi knows, and he is a person from their house!
Seeing this person and hearing his words, Harueda was overjoyed, and she subconsciously took a big step forward.
"Ma'am."
At this time, Yadong pulled the spring branch again.
They had already sold the donkey cart in the previous town, and exchanged it for two taels of silver, and exchanged it for some dry food for a few people. So now they are on foot.
Although Chunzhi became Mrs. Guo, she has never forgotten her background, she has been working in the field and taking care of things in the shop all these years, and she has never been lazy, so her body can still bear it. It's the same with the rock boy, the little guy is in great health! Not to mention Yaqiu and Yadong, if these two sisters can't even walk down this little road, then Feng's training all these years will be really in vain!
Such a long road has already been walked, and seeing that she is about to reach the end, Chunzhi is anxious, but she doesn't want Yadong to pull her back!
Harueda turned back. "What's wrong?"
"Madam, this last checkpoint is often the most confusing, so the slave maid thinks that we still have to be cautious and not let our guard down." Ardon whispered.
Harueda nodded. "I know."
"Moreover, since those people chased us all the way, the slaves and maids felt that they might have arranged for people to lurk in the guards at the city gates, so we must be cautious." Ardon said again.
Harueda's eyes darkened. "Say whatever you want, just say it, don't beat around the bush."
Ardon nodded. "Then the slave and maid said it bluntly - the slave maid thinks that it is not appropriate for you to take the initiative to stand up and expose your identity now, madam. Anyway, we're all here, so why don't we stick to the original policy and continue to hide to the end? When we return to the house and see the master, we will reveal our identities again, so that we can be safer. ”
"You mean to say that this person can't be trusted?" Harukeda asked in a low voice.
Ardon has drooping eyelashes. "The slave just thinks that there is only one last hurdle left, so she can't be negligent. Otherwise, the hardships we have suffered in front of us will really be in vain! ”
Harue bit her lip.
"I see, you're right, I was almost carried away by joy just now." She whispered, and handed the rock boy to her, "Then according to the original plan, I and Yaqiu will go to the city first, and you will take the rock boy later." The soldiers divided into two roads, and then converged at the gate of the Hou Mansion. ”
Yadong nodded hurriedly and hugged the rock boy tightly with both hands.
This month, the rock boy followed them not to eat and sleep well, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. However, the little guy's expression became more and more resolute, and now he was sent to Yadong by his mother, and he did not cry, but waved his hand to Chunzhi very strongly. "Mother, let's see you when you go home."
Haruka nodded, and she quickly turned her head away and walked briskly with Yaqiu.
She didn't dare to turn back, she was afraid that as long as she turned back, she would be reluctant. Her children, Li Xiaozi and Pan Yatou, had left her a month ago, and they didn't know what was going on now. As a result, now, she has to be separated from the rock boy, and Haruka only feels that one of her hearts has been torn to pieces, and she is about to be unable to fight.
The wind and dust along the way, plus in order to avoid the pursuers, Yaqiu Yadong has been making a little decoration on her face, so now Chunzhi looks like an ordinary peasant woman. In the crowd, she is not very conspicuous.
In this way, she walked side by side with Yaqiu, slowly following the flow of people towards the city gate.
When he arrived at the city gate, the man was still beating the gong and shouting, shouting hoarsely to find the Lady of the North. Harueda also saw that her portrait was posted on the city gate with a big grin, and everyone who passed by could see it.
This portrait is not painted by Chai Dong at first glance, although it is also very similar to her, but it does not have the charm of Chai Dong's pen.
Seeing this painting, Harue was even more sure that there was definitely something strange in this matter!
It's dangerous!
She quietly clenched her fists. I was almost deceived on the spur of the moment!
She hurriedly took a deep breath and took the initiative to raise her head so that the officers and soldiers defending the city could see her face. The officers and men are now very careful in controlling the city gates, and as long as they are coming, they will definitely have to look at them one by one. Especially those who lowered their heads, they had to raise their chins and look at them carefully, to make sure that it was not the person they were looking for to let go of them.
But for people like Haruka who took the initiative to send their faces over, they just glanced at it casually and waved it away.
This process is only half a cup of tea, but for Harueda, it seems to be half a lifetime. It was easy to pass through the heavy city gate little by little with the flow of people, and when she stepped on the bluestone pavement behind the gate, Harunzhi finally closed her eyes and let out a long breath - she was back!
The rest of the road was much smoother.
She and Yaqiu shuttled on the familiar road together, and in a while, they had already arrived at the gate of the Northwest Hou Mansion. However, it is a back door.
Yaqiu went to knock on the door first, and exchanged a few words with the porter, and then the small door finally opened, and Yaqiu hurriedly turned sideways to make way for Chunzhi. "Madam, please first."
Haruka nodded, she took a deep breath before she lifted her foot and stepped over the threshold.
And as soon as she stepped over, she noticed that a powerful arm suddenly stretched out, pulled her sleeve, and pulled her aside!
Haruka was so frightened that she almost wanted to scream, but the arm gently retracted and took her into her arms.
The familiar scent instantly haunted her. And that familiar voice also sounded in my ears: "Don't be afraid, it's me." ”
"Xianggong!"
Chunzhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and all the heartache and pain in the past month came to mind. She hurriedly hugged Chai Dong, and she couldn't hold back her tears for a month.
Chai Dong also hugged her tightly and didn't let go for a long time.
Harukeda immediately heard a series of footsteps again.
"Mother! Mother! ”
Someone else was screaming, it was her baby! Li Boy and Pan Girl, they have all returned!
Chunzhi hurriedly raised his head, and saw that the boy was holding Pan Ya's hand and rushing towards this side.
Chunzhi wanted to push Chai Dong away to see the children, but she didn't expect Chai Dong's hand to tie her tightly, leaving no room for her to break free.
"What are you doing? Let go, let me see the kids! Chunzhi hurriedly whispered.
Chai Dong finally let go, she just let go of her person, but his hand immediately grabbed her wrist tightly.
"You two are here to stay guarded until your brother returns. I'll take your mother back first. ”
The cold opposing boy dropped this sentence, and Chai Dong pulled the spring branch and left.
