Chapter 172: To Jinling (1)
Idle dreams are far away, the south is in spring, the orchestra on the boat is on the river, the city is full of flying flocculent rollers and light dust, busy killing flower watchers.
Wandering between the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou every day, Guan Kuo didn't know what happened to Her Royal Highness the princess.
That's fine.
It's very happy to be with Ji Ru, but you have to be thick-skinned to withstand her various verbal swords.
During this period of time, his mind has become quiet, and after such a long period of cultivation, the luck method has basically returned to its previous state, and he can now ride without a trace and break into Chang'an City again.
Ji Ruyi's white palace skirt rippled in the spring breeze, wrapped in the slightly humid air of the south, soft and very fluttering.
She was often like a happy little sparrow, bouncing and chattering.
But no one hated her.
However, Guan Kuo still felt that there were not too many topics to talk about with her after all, because the world between them was different.
In his spare time, he has been training Li Qianrong, waiting for the two of them, I don't know what it will be, he must be fully prepared.
Li Qianrong's body is getting stronger and stronger under his teaching, and his strength has long exceeded the range that a six- or seven-year-old child should have, and can be on par with a teenager.
During this time, he didn't see Jin Youzuo, as for Jin An, he looked down and didn't look up, that handsome face was really underwhelming.
Now he gradually understands Jin An's state of mind, many people believe that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, it seems that if you can't get out of that circle, then you are still an ordinary person after all.
Jin An is not an ordinary person, so he has a lot of ability, but he doesn't bother to take responsibility, and it can't be said that he is not responsible, his uninhibition lies in the fact that if he contributes to Nanwu, then Nanwu will be better, he is unwilling, and Nanwu will not become too bad.
Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, protecting their favorite little princess, Her Royal Highness, Jin An has already fulfilled his responsibility.
Having said that, Jin An and Ji Ru are not the same kind of people, and Guan Kuo is also not a person from him, they can be friends who fight side by side, but they can't be confidants who talk about everything.
A lot of things happened between the Northern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Wu, and they can no longer be like when they were in Northern Xinjiang, when there was no taboo in anything, there was happiness, but there were still many things, none of which existed.
So gradually, he rarely went crazy with them, either practicing the luck method or teaching Li Qianrong.
As the days passed, Guan Zhengxing's troops began to advance, and the sporadic government soldiers met them, but they were destroyed and decayed, and they were about to collapse at the first touch.
Wang Du has already begun the deployment that no one knows, and I believe that in the near future, the two of them will meet each other and have a big collision between famous generals.
However, these are not things that Guan Kuo is thinking about now, both are his country and his home, but they are not his country, not his home, he is not biased towards either side, and even began to doubt the meaning of the word "family and country in the world" for people like himself.
From now on, he will only fight for himself, for Li Qianrong, and for the very few people he cares about.
Maybe that's how little people survive - to live, just to live, not to be demanding, and to be difficult at some point.
On this day, after so much time, Jin Youzuo finally sent someone to find him.
Standing in front of that old man, looking at the other party's lazily squinting old eyes in the sun, Guan Kuo's heart was inexplicable.
"I'm going to Jinling to see Your Majesty." Jin said.
Guan Kuo nodded.
"Come with me," Jin Youzuo didn't look at him, and spoke to himself, "Your Majesty wants to see you, and you want to meet that child." ”
……
……
Guan Kuo admitted that for more than ten years, the image of the word "Your Majesty" has always been the only one in his memory.
That is the tyrannical, hateful and lovely Emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Since he was born, with the rise of the housekeeper, he has been getting closer and closer to his life, and it is the "Your Majesty" who has become closer and closer.
However, in a trance, he found that he was suddenly about to discover that there were many "Majesies" of all kinds in the world, such as Li Zenan, the new emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty, or the one in Jinling.
Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture.
Just on the other side of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou and the capital are far away.
After feeling a lot of emotion, he frowned again and asked, "What does he want to see Qianrong for?" ”
Li Qianrong is estimated to be the person he has the most desire to protect now, he is so weak and the most vulnerable, the only intention of Emperor Wu to see Li Qianrong is that he thinks of the word "utilization".
No emperor would have summoned them just because they liked children, they all had their own purpose.
That kind of purposefulness may mean being flattered to many ordinary people, but Guan Kuo doesn't think so, he hates the feeling of being taken advantage of.
"It's not 'him', it's Your Majesty," Jin Youzuo corrected, "Guan Kuo, you have to understand, you need to get used to this title, you are not the prince of the Guanfu in Chang'an many years ago, and you also have the blood of Nanwu and even Jinling in your body." ”
Guan Kuo was silent, did not agree, and did not deny.
"Your Majesty won't do anything to Li Qianrong, but he just wants to see what Li Xianyue's son will be like."
Jin Youzuo glanced at him:
"The most powerful opponent of Southern Wu is Qiu Jingshan, the god of war in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and Li Xianyue is both the prince and a student of Qiu Jingshan, and finally he was defeated in the hands of Li Zenan on the night of Chang'an.
"Your Majesty has always known about Li Zenan, but he has never seen that one, now look at his son, in Your Majesty's reason, you have no reason to refuse, and you can't refuse."
Guan Kuo nodded.
He knew that he couldn't refuse, when nothing happened, it didn't make much sense to maliciously speculate on others, he had just come to the land of Nanwu for a while, and offending an emperor indiscriminately was not something he should do.
"So be it," said the king, "and set off now." ”
Guan Kuo was stunned.
