Han Zigao stood upright on the dock, looking at them with a calm expression.

Gu Huan and Gao Changgong both waved goodbye to him, and Han Zigao also waved his hand to them with a smile on his face.

Gao Ming dutifully held the umbrella and shielded Han Zigao from the flying rain. Gao Liang stood behind him, keeping an eye on his surroundings to keep him safe. Han Fu and several family members of the Han Mansion stood behind, impressed by these two "Gu Gongzi's guards".

The wooden boat hoisted its sails, rode the southeast wind, and headed north.

Gu Huan looked at Han Zigao's figure who was getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but blur his eyes with tears. Suddenly, she said to Zheng Huaiying, who was standing behind, "I want to play a song." ”

The servant beside Zheng Huaiying quickly took off the piano he was carrying, took it out of the bag, and handed it over with both hands.

Qiu Yan quickly brought the cushions from the cabin.

Gu Huan sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, concentrating all his attention and playing.

The melodious and ethereal sound of the piano immediately spread on the surface of the river, drifting with the wind, which is the popular "Mountains and Flowing Water".

On the surging river, a flat boat ripples leisurely in the smoke and rain, and the sound of the piano full of difficult emotions is scattered in the wind, gradually moving away with the boat, this scene is really picturesque and unforgettable in the eyes of others, and in Han Zigao's heart, it is extremely moving, and he will never forget it in his life.

Gu Huan played this song of alpine water twice, and the river bank was already far away, gradually disappearing into the misty rain and fog. Only then did she stop, looking at the river with some sadness.

Gao Changgong has been standing beside her, holding an oil-paper umbrella for her, and after a long while, he stretched out his other hand to hold her, and said softly: "Huan'er, your intentions, eldest brother already knows." At this moment, the rain is getting heavier, so let's go back to the cabin to take shelter. ”

Gu Huan was no longer stubborn, stood up with his strength, and handed the piano to Zheng Huaiying's servant.

Everyone entered the cabin together, and Qiu Yan had already boiled water in a small red clay stove, made tea, brought it to them one by one, and placed it on the small table in it.

Everyone present knew the relationship between Gu Huan and Gao Changgong, so she no longer hid it, leaning on Gao Changgong's arms, her expression was still very sad.

Zheng Huaiying took the piano from the servant, put it on his lap, raised his ten fingers lightly, and played the song "Silent Night Thoughts".

The music is soft, outlining the scene of moonlight like water and night like a dream, which can make people calm and calm. Gu Huan couldn't sleep all night, his mood fluctuated, he was really tired, and gradually fell asleep to the sound of the piano.

Qiu Yan immediately took out a thin blanket from her luggage and handed it over, Gao Changgong wrapped Gu Huan in his arms and held him in his arms, with a trace of pity and love on his face.

Until the boat docked on the other side, Gu Huan didn't wake up. Gao Changgong carried her ashore, got into the carriage that was already waiting here, and headed north.

After Gu Huan woke up, he had regained his calm on the surface, and insisted that Gao Changgong, who was full of tiredness, lie down and sleep. In order not to crowd him, Gu Huan waited for him to fall asleep, and then sat on the wheel outside to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Since the day of the holiday had arrived, from the second day, they abandoned their cars and rode horses, and galloped all the way to the capital of Qingzhou.

In fact, Gu Huan was still depressed, but he didn't want Gao Changgong to worry about himself, so he forcibly controlled it and tried to show a relatively normal state. Gao Changgong really didn't notice it, thinking that her mood had calmed down, and she was quite happy in her heart.

The group rushed into the city, and Gao Changgong went directly to the Yamen of the Assassin History, and carried out a formal handover with the former Assassin History, who was waiting to step down and go to another place to take office. In fact, the staff of both sides had already done everything properly, but the two chief officials had to hand over the seal letter in person, which could be regarded as the completion of the handover.

The former assassin admired the famous King of Lanling, and this transfer to another post was a promotion, so he was naturally happy, so he held a banquet in the mansion to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, and at the same time introduced the local officials to know him. Everyone was staggered, a group of harmony, and they all said polite words such as admiration to Gao Changgong, and said that he must be the only one who looks forward to the horse and is diligent in political affairs, please rest assured. Gao Changgong is naturally humble, and thanks to all the adults for their love. The boss and his subordinates were happy, and they all went home drunk.

Early the next morning, the original assassin left Yidu and went to a new place.

Gao Changgong woke up from a hangover, held his head for a long time, and found that he was sleeping alone in the bedroom, and Gu Huan was not there.

After being washed by the maidservants of the inner courtyard, he hurried out of the house, intending to find someone. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw the princess he had married walking in gracefully, and he had to stop.

Concubine Zheng was dressed in a pink tight-fitting shirt embroidered with a phoenix dancing, outlining her slender figure, but the cuffs were very wide, hanging from the floor-to-the-ground multi-folded skirt, swaying gently with her steps. She wears a bun on her head that can only be used by the women of the imperial court, and on top of it are inserted ornaments that only the princess can wear, fully showing the dignity of her status. Her forehead is painted yellow, or "crow yellow", and on her left cheekbone is a sparkling butterfly-shaped flower cut from silver foil, and her face is thin with powder, and her lips are a little vermilion. This is the most popular makeup for ladies nowadays. Concubine Zheng has an ordinary appearance, but when she dresses up like this, she has a little color, which is quite eye-catching.

Gao Changgong was accustomed to seeing Gu Huan's plain face facing the sky, and suddenly saw the woman in full costume, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but he still bowed his hand quite gracefully, and asked kindly: "The princess is not in Lanling, why did she come to Qingzhou?" ”

Concubine Zheng walked up to him elegantly, blessed a blessing, and said softly: "The concubine learned that her husband was about to take up a post in Qingzhou, so she should come to accompany her and take care of the inner hall for her husband, so that her husband can worry about state affairs with all his might, and he has no worries." ”

"Thank you, Princess." Gao Changgong smiled gently. "Lanling County is my fiefdom, that is, my fundamental place, it is very important to me, please ask the princess to return to the Lanling County Palace, properly manage all the affairs over there, and share my worries, okay?"

Concubine Zheng was well-mannered, and said gently: "The husband doesn't have to be polite to the concubine, you and I are one husband and wife, and it is the concubine's right to do these little things." The affairs of Lanling County, the concubine is not very good, and she is afraid that it will backfire rashly and damage the fiefdom of her husband. The concubine asked that in the past, when the husband was fighting abroad or being an official, he was in charge there, and there was nothing to worry about. The concubine felt that it was better to let the chief steward continue to take care of it, so she came over to take care of her husband. The concubine can only do this well, and please forgive me. ”

Her words turned softly, but she made it clear that she didn't plan to return to Lanling County again, and she wanted to stay by Gao Changgong's side. The expression on her face was still gentle and charming, but there was a determined light in her eyes.
