Chapter 333: Returning to Home
In Yanjing City, at the time of the third watch, the night is as dark as ink.
In front of the Xuanwu Gate, there was no one and there was silence.
The little soldier guarding the city gate yawned for the thirty-sixth time, and finally couldn't help it, and wanted to tilt his head to sleep for a while, but was woken up by a slightly older man next to him, "I can't sleep, in case someone sees you, your position will be gone!" ”
"Ah......" The little soldier was startled, rubbing his eyes with some dissatisfaction and muttering, "In the middle of the night, there is no one, who can see it." ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away.
The two men guarding the city were startled, and hurriedly cheered up, and carefully looked at who it was by the candlelight at the city gate.
After about a dozen breaths, a row of four rustic-looking, but extraordinarily wide carriages stopped at the city gates.
"Who is it? The gates of the city are not open in the middle of the night, and something will come back tomorrow. The older man shouted at the carriage with courage.
"It's me." A somewhat cold voice sounded in the car, and then the curtain was lifted, Gu Qingfan poked his head out, looked at the soldier, frowned, and said, "The general's wife is a little unwell, I heard that there is a home remedy outside the city, and I urgently need to cross the city gate, and I hope that the two of you will open the city gate quickly." ”
"It's General Gu Xiao......" The younger soldier jumped up happily, "Okay, okay, I'll open it for you." ”
"General......" The older man patted the younger soldiers, turned his head, and said to Gu Qingfan with some embarrassment, "The general has gone on many expeditions for the country, and his subordinates dare not suspect the general of anything, but in the middle of the night, opening a city gate is really a ...... to mobilize the people."
"Then let's get you to keep the right side." Gu Qingfan didn't have any expression on his face, waved his hand, and lowered the curtain.
The two men guarding the city gate glanced at each other, the younger one turned around and ran to find Shouzheng, and the other stood in front of the city gate and continued to guard the gate.
It didn't take long for the Xuanwu Gate Keeper to hurriedly run to the carriage, and while facing the inside of the carriage, he apologized again and again, "It's these two little ones who are ignorant, and they stopped the general, and their subordinates will open the city gate for the general, but after all, this is the middle of the night, and the city gate is not easy to open, so you can only open a carriage to pass through the gap, and you can hope that the general Haihan." ”
"Nothing." Gu Qingfan responded lightly, turned his head, glanced at the four or five people sitting in the carriage, lowered his head and sighed softly.
Soon, the city gate was opened by more than a dozen soldiers, Zhao Long, who was driving the car outside, let go of the reins, and the horse opened the horse's hooves and passed through the city gate easily.
"Does the lower official still need to leave the city gate for the general?" Seeing that the carriage was going away, Shouzheng hurriedly asked in a loud voice.
"Just leave two people to pass." Gu Qingfan said coldly.
Shouzheng hurriedly responded, and asked people to close the city gate with only a small opening, and then sent a dozen people to guard there.
"It's really strange, it's okay to go out so late, it's obviously four carriages to go, but as long as there are two people to pass through the door, don't they want this carriage?" Shouzheng watched the four carriages disappear into the night, and muttered twice for some unknown reasons.
Outside Yanjing City, the four carriages didn't go far before they stopped.
Gu Qingfan jumped out of the car first, and then raised his hand to pick up Bai Wei, then Bai Yunshi, Wu, Bai Chuanbai, and finally Bai Shao.
"It's really cold at night." Bai Wei shuddered, and with some reluctance, he took Bai Shao's hand and whispered, "Shao'er, do you have to leave now?" At least wait until dawn, it's really dangerous in the middle of the night. ”
"It's okay, sister." Bai Shao, who was wearing simple clothes, smiled, "With Zhao Huyuan and Hexianghan following, there is basically no danger." ”
"But......" Bai Wei choked up as she spoke, "but...... We came together in the first place, but when we left, I was left alone......"
"Where is it still gone, Brother Yunshi is still there." Bai Shao glanced at Bai Wei with amusement, "Besides, we are not going to other places, we are just going back to Xieyang County, if you miss us, go back and have a look, it is quite simple to live for a while." ”
"But we still can't see each other every day, although we have known this day for a long time, but it is really uncomfortable to come." Bai Wei's eyes were red, he put down Bai Shao's hand, and took Wu's hand again, "Mother...... Why do you want to go back, you left me alone in Yanjing, can you rest assured? ”
Wu smiled slowly, patted Bai Wei's head, and said softly, "You are here, with Qingfan taking care of you, I am very relieved, but I am not at ease with your sister alone." Besides, your father and I also want to go back, the leaves are back to the roots, and my mother is old, so I don't want to leave home. ”
Bai Wei flattened his mouth, put down Wu's hand in some frustration, threw himself into Gu Qingfan's arms, and sobbed quietly.
"Okay, after a while, Your Majesty will sit firmly on the throne, I will apply for a long-term stay in Guangliang County, and then I will take you and the children over, Guangliang County is very close to Anyang County, and you can go back from time to time." Gu Qingfan comforted her softly.
Bai Wei burst into tears and smiled, "You're serious." ”
"Really." Gu Qingfan nodded, suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Shao as if he remembered something, and sure enough, he saw her somewhat gloomy expression, he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to mention anything about that person.
"Shao'er ......" Bai Wei also noticed Bai Shao's expression, and said a little unbearably, "Have you really thought about it?" Just leave him like that? Can you do it? ”
"What's not to do?" Bai Shao blinked vigorously, blinking away the wetness under his eyes, and then smiled easily, "There is a banquet in the world, me and him...... Let's go with the flow. ”
"Okay, it's not too early, let's go." Bai Yunshi, who had been silent, suddenly took the initiative to say, "Shao'er, take care of your father." ”
"Yes, brother." Bai Shao nodded vigorously, "Okay, let's go first." ”
After speaking, he helped Wu and Bai Chuanbai into the carriage, and sat down with him.
Seeing this, Zhao Long waved his whip lightly, and the carriage moved.
Bai Shao half lifted the curtain and waved his hand at Gu Qingfan, Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi on the side before sitting in the carriage and breathing a long sigh of relief.
Finally...... Left......
"Shao'er......" Wu glanced at her expression and said softly, "If you are reluctant, you can go back now, just say that you go to Gu Mansion, and you can still round things up, and when the day dawns, you really can't come back." ”
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Bai Shao smiled while leaning his head on Wu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I only hope that this matter will not implicate my brother now, although I have left a letter, but his temperament, now I can't figure it out, I just hope he doesn't tie me back again." ”
The queen of a country has fled, if this matter is made out, it is really not a trivial matter.
"Shao'er is not afraid, my mother will always protect you." Wu stretched out his hand and gently hugged Bai Shao's shoulder, "If he dares to chase after him, my mother will fight with him, and I will never let him take you back." ”
Wu's words made Bai Shao laugh.
Just smiling and laughing, her tears fell again.
Goodbye, Yanjing.
Goodbye, Gu family.
Goodbye, Ash.
Goodbye, my five years.
Of the four carriages that Bai Shao asked Gu Qingfan to buy overnight, the first one sat the three members of the Bai family and a simple futon for night rest. On the second car sat two maids who had to go back to Xieyang County with Bai Shao, as well as some food and common clothes.
The third car put many things that Wu and Bai Chuanbai bought in the Gu family that they were reluctant to lose, as well as some valuable things.
The fourth car put Bai Shao taken from Kunning Palace, those things full of memories, as well as the embroidered shoes made by the Ruan family for her, the head and face specially made for her at the wedding, and so on.
Because of the limited manpower, only Bai Shao and the two palace maids left from the palace at that time, so there were not many things that could be taken up, and as for most of the other dowries, Bai Shao had all been left to the emperor.
One part is to let the emperor fill the treasury, and the other part is to leave a memory.
Even so, these things were still full of a whole wagon, pulled by four horses, and followed closely behind the convoy.
Along the way, the Wu family was somewhat worried about whether they would encounter robbers and whether they would be robbed.
It wasn't until the convoy entered Xieyang County that Wu finally put his heart in his stomach, lifted the small curtain, and looked around seriously.
Five years have passed, and there seems to be no change in Xieyang County, the streets are still a little narrow, and the ground is still a little dirty, but the three members of the Bai family just feel so comfortable and comfortable.
When the carriage pair finally stopped at the gate of Baifu in Liushan Hutong, Wu jumped down and looked at this small mansion that looked extremely shabby compared to Gu's mansion as if in a dream, and suddenly his eyes turned red. for a better user experience.
