Chapter 118: Things have long been wrong
Gu Li had never told Xiang Xian the true relationship between her and Yan Qing, Xiang Xian had always thought that they were brother and sister, so she questioned Yan Qing like this at this moment.
Her question was not easy to answer, so Yan Qing chose not to answer.
Xiang Xian said a lot angrily, and finally said, "Since you are still here, then Sister Gu will definitely come back again." ”
Yan Qing replied: "It shouldn't be." ”
"Why?" Xiangxian exclaimed, full of doubts.
Yan Qing smiled faintly on her lips, and instead of solving her doubts, she said again: "And Miss Xiang is wrong, I will leave soon." ”
"Huh?" Xiangxian's mind was confused.
He's going to go too? Are you going to find Sister Gu?
Before Xiang Xian could react, Yan Qing bowed slightly to her and said softly: "Farewell."
"Hey." Xiangxian tried to call him, but he didn't hear him at all.
She had to sigh, and with a lot of questions and sadness in her heart, she walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Sister Gu is gone, is it true that she will not come back? Would that be a letter to her? If she doesn't come back, when she has time, I can go to her.
At this time, Gu Li was sitting in the carriage, listening to Jin Zhi babbling in his ear.
Compared with yesterday, she seemed to be in a much better mood, and the look on her face was a little lighter, so Jin Zhi dared to talk more.
How can the wound in my heart be so easy to heal? But Gu Li didn't allow herself to indulge in this senseless sadness, so she forced herself to cheer herself up.
But the whole journey was in the carriage, and even if she cheered up, she couldn't do anything.
She lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the outside world through that corner.
There are many pedestrians on the road, some are in a hurry, some are in rags, and some are thin with yellow muscles. Out of Nanzhou City, Gu Li knew how chaotic it was outside now.
Nanyun has just died in the country, and now it is in chaos, and the people are displaced. Along the way, Gu Li saw a lot of homeless people starving.
She couldn't bear it, but she didn't have any money left, and she couldn't help if she wanted to. What's more, now that thieves are rampant, and there are all openly robberies in broad daylight, she has to be on guard from time to time.
Even if Yan Qing made Nanzhou the first town in Nanyun Kingdom to be breached, it has to be said that he controlled it very well, and the entire Nanzhou is now orderly and orderly, and the people have long since returned to normal life.
Gu Li looked at it for a while, then lowered the curtain.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jin Zhi, who was sitting next to her, said, "Sister, look! ”
Gu Li glanced through the corner of the curtain that she had lifted on her side, and looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that it was a group of robbers robbing.
The robbers were numerous, each with a bright knife in their hands, and in broad daylight, openly robbing a carriage.
Gu Li only glanced at it, then immediately closed the curtain and asked the coachman to hurry up.
It's not that she doesn't have compassion, it's that she can't manage this kind of thing at all.
The robbers were outnumbered, and each of them had knives in their hands, and if she stopped them, she would be looking for death. Now that she can't protect herself, the only thing she can do is to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Knowing that he was going to die or had to hit a stone with an egg, he was not a saint, he was a stupid person.
"Blatant robbery in broad daylight, is there any heavenly reason for this, is there any royal law?" Jin Zhi said angrily.
Gu Li sighed softly; "There are heavenly principles, and there are royal laws, but not now."
There is no other way, she only hopes that the people in power in Gaochang can control the situation as soon as possible, and not let these people live in dire straits after the country is ruined.
Gu Li didn't have much money, and he still saved it when he worked in Xiancaotang before, which could barely support them to go to Yue Country and settle down in the local area.
The road was very chaotic, and she was vigilant all the time, worried that she would encounter robbers and rob her money. Thinking about things in her heart, the past that made her sad and sad will no longer come to haunt her.
Gu Li was worried all the way, but maybe she was lucky, and the road was surprisingly smooth.
Along the way, she saw many violent and chaotic things with her own eyes, but she didn't find their heads together. Even Jin Zhi sighed: "Our luck is really good, it must be because we have done more good things on weekdays." ”
Gu Li smiled and saw the carriage leisurely driving into Cloud City.
This is the old capital of the former Nanyun Kingdom, Yundu, and now it is renamed Cloud City.
This is the second time Gu Li has come to this city, compared with the prosperity and liveliness of the last time, now it is no longer prosperous, and there is more desolation and depression after the wind and rain.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Gu Li couldn't help but think of Yan Qing's words at that time, "Go and see the last prosperity of Yundu."
She couldn't understand what he meant at the time, but now, she understood everything.
Yan Qing was right, what he saw that time was indeed the last prosperity of Yundu.
It's not early, Gu Li plans to stay in Cloud City and leave early tomorrow morning.
It had been eight days since she left Nanzhou, and at this rate, she would be able to enter the territory of Yue in another four or five days.
There is no war in Vietnam, and the situation there is definitely much better than here.
It wasn't safe outside, so they went to bed early after dinner at the inn, and no one went out.
The next morning, continue on your way.
When passing by an alley, Gu Li couldn't help but open the curtain and take a look out.
In this alley, there is a house that Yan Qing bought, and the last time they came, they lived there. Now the alley is still there, and the house is still there, but it has long been a thing.
Gu Li's heart suddenly swelled with sourness.
She's been gone for nine days, what about him? What's he doing?
Yan Qing had just come out of a jewelry shop at the moment, and he didn't go anywhere else, so he went home directly.
He opened the door, and it was empty, cold and silent. The teacup he had dropped when he left was still lying miserably, and a few leaves and flowers had fallen on the bluestone platform under the plane tree, and no one had cleaned it up.
He walked over, cleaned up the bluestone platform, and sat down at the small tea table.
Counting the days, she should be about to enter the territory of the Yue Kingdom.
The reason why Yan Qing was sure that Gu Li would definitely go to Yue Guo was because he had already analyzed it for her, and she had nowhere else to go except Yue Guo.
He stays here, there is still an important thing to do, and he has to wait for an important person. If nothing else, that important person will be here soon.
Now that Gaochang is in chaos, Xiao Wen has already returned to the capital Jian'an to discuss the follow-up with Emperor Zhaowen.
However, many days have passed, and not only has there been no progress in this matter, but it has also involved a lot of trouble.
Nagumo's large territory is in hand, how to set it up, how to appoint officials, how to manage it, these are all problems. There is no shortage of people with ulterior motives in the court, eyeing these much-needed official positions, and all of them want to install themselves in important positions.
Xiao Wen was resentful, and the land he fought hard with thousands of soldiers was used to deceive these people?
