Chapter 38

Back in the mansion, Han Zi said to Gao Changgong and Gu Huan warmly: "Second brother, third brother, you go and rest first, I will send you tomorrow." ”

"Yes, big brother." The two obediently agreed, and left directly.

Hua Jiao watched the two drift away under the moonlight, and couldn't help asking, "Are they really leaving?" ”

"yes." Han Zigao said lightly. "They love to play, so naturally they won't always stay in Jiankang, and they will come to see me again when they have the opportunity in the future."

Hua Jiao let out an "oh" and followed him.

Gao Changgong and Gu Huan walked slowly, along the lakeside path.

The moonlight is like water, gently sprinkled on the earth, shining on those exquisite pavilions, calm lakes and lotus leaves, and all kinds of flowers in full bloom, the air is wafting with water vapor and floral fragrance, which is refreshing.

After being silent for a while, Gao Changgong held Gu Huan's hand and said in a low voice: "Back then, when the eldest brother was a free cavalry permanent attendant and a right guard general, Hua Jiao was a free cavalry permanent attendant and a left guard general, and the two had a great friendship. Later, the eldest brother went to the east and the west, and successively pacified Chen Chang, Liuyi, and Chen Baoying, and there was no civil strife in Chen State, and he also rose to the top because of his repeated miraculous achievements, and his power fell into the world, while Hua Jiao followed Wu Mingche to quell the Zhou Di rebellion, and also because of his merits, he was awarded the envoy to hold the festival, the governor of Xiangba and other four states, and the history of Xiangzhou's assassination, and the generals and permanent servants were the same. After Chen Qian's death, the current emperor Chen Bozong ascended the throne and immediately renamed him the Marquis of Chong'an County, increased the number of 1,100 households, and entered the name General Annan. Hua Jiao is not only a brave general on land, but also good at water warfare, which is indispensable in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Qian attaches great importance to him, that is, Zhou and our country also attach great importance to him, after all, the Yangtze River is the barrier of the south, as long as the ambition is in the world, there will inevitably be water war, sooner or later. Now, Hua Jiao has a heavy army, controls the military of Xiangzhou, Bazhou, Wuzhou, and Jingzhou, and resists the Zhou State alone, and has a strong force. With him joining forces with the eldest brother, when Keli keeps the eldest brother safe, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Gu Huan nodded.

Needless to say, Hua Jiao's friendship with Han Zigao is needless to say, historical records record that Han Zigao was falsely accused of rebellion, and after being quickly killed by Chen Zuo, Hua Jiao was furious, and actually borrowed troops from Zhou State, openly rebelled against the imperial court, and avenged Han Zigao. It is rare for such a deep affection to the point of treason and rebellion. But no matter what, he couldn't keep Han Zigao, which was what worried Gu Huan the most, but he couldn't say it. At least judging from the current situation, Han Zigao has Hua Jiao, a close friend, to help him, and he is completely able to protect himself. , she had nothing to say but sighed in her heart.

Gao Changgong held her hand, warm and powerful, transmitting confidence and trying to comfort her. Gu Huan turned his head to look at him, and his heart gradually settled down.

No matter what, she came to this world, and Han Zigao is no longer alone. No matter what situation will be encountered in front of him, she and Gao Changgong will definitely stand by his side and support him with all their strength.

They are now a family.

After going back, Qiu Yan had already packed up Gao Changgong and Gu Huan's things with the help of Chun Xi and put them into the cage package, while Gao Ming and Gao Liang arranged the boat and car.

Gao Changgong listened to Gao Ming and Gao Liang's report, and Gu Huan checked the luggage, and there was no problem, so he asked them all to go to sleep, and got up early tomorrow morning to get ready to go on the road.

Gu Huan himself was parting with feelings, all kinds of worries lingered, it was really difficult to sleep, and this night was tossed and turned, and it was very unstable. Gao Changgong naturally understood her mood, kept hugging her, patting her from time to time, and gently persuading, and finally let her fall asleep in the early hours of the morning.

Gao Changgong looked at the faint white dawn outside the window screen and sighed softly.

The smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River is one of the beautiful scenery, "the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain", it sounds beautiful. When Gu Huan and Gao Changgong parted from Jiankang, they encountered a drizzle, which set off the sorrow.

Han Zigao went to the court in the morning, came back before noon, accompanied them to lunch, and sent them to the riverside wharf.

He had changed out of his official uniform and was wearing a plain gown, his tall figure and peerless face were even more elegant, but fortunately they rode in a carriage and covered the eyes of passers-by, otherwise they would have attracted countless astonishing glances.

Gao Changgong has been changed a little by Gu Huan's appearance as in the past, not so captivating, just ordinary and beautiful. Han Zigao saw it and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that I will have to do this in the future." ”

"Okay." Gu Huan said with great interest. "Big brother, next time I come to see you and help you change your appearance, so that if we go out together, it will not be so eye-catching."

"Okay." Han Zigao smiled and nodded. "I'll wait for you to come back."

The carriage did not reach the riverside wharf in the city, but left Jiankang City and drove to the vicinity of Yanziji.

It's quieter here, and although the docks are dotted with white sails, there are no people in the city, which is much better.

Gao Ming and Gao Liang had hired the boatman to wait here in advance, and when they saw Gao Changgong and Gu Huan getting off the carriage, they went ashore and greeted them.

Han Zigao sent them to the springboard, and then said gently: "Have a good trip, take care." ”

Gu Huan couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself into his arms, and choked up: "Big brother, I can't bear you." ”

Gao Changgong's eyes were also a little hot, and he said in a dumb voice: "Big brother, you have to be careful, Chen Zuo is unpredictable and ambitious. ”

"I know." Han Zigao hugged Gu Huan and said softly. "This is an era in which the ministers are in charge, the Zhou State has Yuwen Protection, the Qi State has the Heshi Kai, and our country has Chen Zuo. I'll be careful, and you have to be careful. Second brother, you are famous all over the world, I am afraid that you will be jealous, so you must be especially cautious. ”

"I understand." Gao Changgong's expression was a little gloomy. "Big brother, you and I are in much the same situation, but you are more dangerous. If anything happens, be sure to send a letter. I left the highlights and highlights to facilitate the transmission of messages between you and me. ”

Han Zigao turned his head to look at the two young people who had always been silent, and nodded slightly: "That's fine." ”

They said a few words, Gu Huan's tears slowly stopped, and then he raised his head and said to Han Zigao: "Big brother, when we were married, we said, 'I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year', so you must take care, if you see that the situation is not good, you must not stand back, if you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will withdraw." Gao Ming and Gao Liang can escort you across the river to find us. As long as you cross the Yangtze River, you will be safe, and no matter how arrogant Chen Zuo is, he will not dare to rashly invade the border of our Qi country. ”

"Yes." Gao Changgong nodded immediately. "Big brother, if something happens to the DPRK and endangers your safety, don't protect yourself first, and plan later."

After listening to it with a smile, Han Zigao only said one word gently: "Okay." Then he wiped the tears from Gu Huan's face with his sleeve.

Gu Huan hugged his waist and shouted one after another: "Big brother, big brother." "There was a lot of reluctance on his face.

Han Zigao said softly: "Huan'er, the eldest brother is very happy to have the second brother and you." Don't be sad, you'll see you again in the future, okay? ”

Gu Huan nodded again and again, but his hands still hugged him tightly, refusing to let go for a long time.

Not far away, there were also people saying goodbye to their relatives, and bursts of crying faintly came, and some girls sang softly: "Yu Yu Mo is on the mulberry, and Yingying is next to the girl." Send you to the river beam, wipe your tears and can't speak...... Yu Yu Mo on the mulberry, curling the nose silk. It is also advisable to return, when is tonight? ”

The drizzle is continuous, accompanied by a sad song, which is even more sad.

After a long time, Han Zigao lovingly raised his hand to caress Gu Huan's head and neck, and comforted him gently: "Huan'er, next year, when the situation in the DPRK and China is stable, I will take leave from the emperor and come to see you and my second brother, okay?" ”

Gu Huan nodded, but he was even more worried in his heart. If we wait until next year, Han Zigao is still safe and sound, it will be good, I am afraid that the situation may not be so optimistic.

However, no matter how anxious she is, she also understands that even if Han Zigao has an accident, it will not happen overnight, and her own vacation is full, and she must go back to reinstate, otherwise she will give someone a handle, not only can she use it to attack Gao Changgong, but she can even further criticize her father and stepfather, which is a very troublesome thing.

Finally, she let go of Han Zigao, followed Gao Changgong to the gangplank step by step, and got on the small wooden boat.
