Chapter 2 Return to Beijing

"Arou? Why don't you answer me! ”

He Zhexuan watched Jiang Rou staring at his father's relics motionlessly, and his voice became more and more cautious.

Jiang Rou's thoughts were pulled back to reality by He Zhexuan's voice, she tried to hold back the sourness in her eyes, her hands tightly clutched her sleeves, and pulled out a smile.

"Nothing! I just thought of Daddy! Daddy can finally go home! I'm happy for him! ”

Jiang Rou said it easily, but her heart was like a knife.

Go home! Thinking of these two words, Jiang Rou couldn't help but be in a trance again.

For Jiang Rou, this is Daddy's hometown, Daddy is about to return to his hometown, back to this prosperous land that he misses, and she should be happy for Daddy.

It's a pity that she has only been Jiang Rou for three years, and before the age of fifteen, she was Chu Yue!

For Chu Yue, Bianjing is her lingering nightmare.

In this Great Zhou kingdom that haunts Daddy's dreams, there are tens of thousands of unjust souls of the Yunlu army wandering day and night.

In this Bianliang City, which Daddy misses day and night, her father, her mother, and her younger brother, together with the Chu family, all seventy-eight lives, were buried here nine years ago.

Now that she's back here, all she feels is sick.

If she could, she would rather live in the desert carefree for the rest of her life.

But she couldn't! She is not Jiang Rou, she is Chu Yue.

In the past three years, she Chu Yue has done her filial piety to her father instead of Jiang Rou.

Now, she wants to replace Chu Yue with Jiang Rou's identity, so that all the people who participated in the killing nine years ago will pay for their blood debts.

"Arou! Arou? ”

He Zhexuan waited for Jiang Rou's words, but he didn't expect Jiang Rou to be in a trance again, so he had to call Jiang Rou softly, pulling Jiang Rou's deep thoughts back to reality.

Jiang Rou came back to her senses and smiled playfully: "Look at me!" I'm out of my mind again! Must have been too tired lately! Be sure to get some rest later. ”

Jiang Rou said and raised her hand and rubbed her somewhat sore arm, she was not pretending, she was really tired, after all, she had been following the convoy for more than a month.

"Do you want Ah Zhu to come in and rub your shoulders for you?" He Zhexuan hurriedly asked.

"No need! She's tired too! Anyway, I've already arrived in the capital, and I can rest immediately! ”

Jiang Rou spoke, and a white veil was already hung on her face, revealing only a pair of eyebrows like moon and stars and a tear mole at the corner of her eyes.

The carriage was already slowly approaching the Imperial City, and she had to get off outside the Imperial City.

Once she enters the imperial city, she is afraid that she will not be able to get out!

Thinking of this, Chu Yue raised her hand and touched the face under the veil.

Chu Yue still feels as if she is in a dream when she thinks about it, and sighs at the magic of fate.

Jiang Rou, who was far away in the desert, actually had the same face as Chu Yueyi.

It's just that Jiang Rou has one more tear mole under her left eye than Chu Yue, and Jiang Rou has grown up in the desert since she was a child, and her personality is flamboyant and enthusiastic, compared with Chu Yue, who grew up at the foot of the imperial city, she is a little more bright and moving, and a little less tender and tactful.

"You haven't answered me yet! When are you going back to Hezhe! ”

He Zhexuan saw that she had already put on the veil, and his tone became anxious, he couldn't care so much, he just wanted to know the answer quickly.

"That's the question... I didn't think about it either! ”

As Jiang Rou spoke, she picked up the package containing Daddy's relics and hugged it into her arms, and then began to check whether she had brought all the things she wanted to bring.

He Zhexuan heard Jiang Rou's answer, looked at Jiang Rou with the veil and just cleaned up, and didn't look at him at all, he suddenly felt a little angry and anxious in his heart, and pulled Jiang Rou's wrist and forced her to look at herself.

"You're not sad to leave me, are you? You've been wanting to leave Hezhe for a long time, haven't you? ”

He Zhexuan grabbed Jiang Rou's wrist tightly, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he also carried the grievance of not being taken seriously by Jiang Rou.

She even said that she didn't think about it, and she didn't even look at me.

He Zhexuan thought in his heart, he couldn't wait to make Jiang Rou faint now and bring him back directly.

Jiang Rou looked at He Zhexuan's appearance, and couldn't help but feel funny and cute.

How could she not be upset! The three years she spent with Daddy and He Zhexuan on the desert were the happiest three years since the Chu family had an accident nine years ago.

Every day, he rides horses and shoots arrows on the grassland, chases eagles and rabbits, runs barefoot in the desert, and chases the rising sun.

That was the freedom and happiness she had never experienced when she was doing Chu Yue.

When she was a child, although she was accompanied by her family, as a woman, she could only stay in her backyard, reading and writing.

To be a woman of Da Zhou, you must be polite and decent, she never knew that a woman's life could be so wanton and free, and she was wonderful.

If she could, she also wanted to avenge her blood revenge and continue to live on the grassland.

But... She looked at He Zhexuan's expectant eyebrows... She knew He Zhexuan's intentions for her, but she couldn't give a response.

Because, she wants revenge, every day from now on, she has to spend it in disguise and intrigue, and she doesn't know if she will live to the day when the great revenge will be avenged.

"Say!"

The convoy kept heading towards the imperial city, and He Zhexuan grabbed Jiang Rou's arm, his eyes full of eagerness.

"He Zhexuan! When you come back to Da Zhou next time, I'll go back with you! Good no good? Jiang Rou said this sentence word by word.

"Five years from now?"

He Zhexuan calculated in his heart, the next time he came to Da Zhou, I am afraid that he would have to wait until the next tribute.

"Yes... Five years later! ”

If then... I'm alive!

Jiang Rou looked at He Zhexuan, she had never spoken to He Zhexuan in such a gentle voice.

She didn't know if she would be able to live to five years later, but if she was still alive after five years, then the Chu family's revenge must have been avenged! When the time comes, she will definitely return to the desert and live this life as Jiang Rou.

"Good! Five years is a long time! But since you said it, I'll wait for you! He Zhexuan struggled inwardly and nodded.

As long as Jiang Rou is willing to go back with him, he will wait for as long as he wants.

"You're so nice!" Jiang Rou chuckled.

---------------------

left the team with Jiang Rou, as well as Jiang Rou's maid Azhu.

As soon as the two left the convoy, Jiang Rou took Su Yazhu all the way to the city.

Ah Zhu walked beside Jiang Rou, wearing a bright green Da Zhou Hanfu, looking around at the prosperity around him, excited.

"Miss! It really deserves to be the capital of the Great Zhou! That's right, sir! It's really prosperous! ”

Ah Zhu is Jiang Rou's personal maid, formerly known as Su Yazhu, although she is a Hezhe, she grew up with Jiang Rou since she was a child, and she speaks Chinese quite fluently.

She has followed Jiang Rou since she was a child and listened to her father talk a lot about the grand occasion of Bianliang City, but she didn't believe it a little, after all, in the hearts of the children of the grassland, their mountains, grasslands, lakes, and deserts are the most beautiful and precious things.

But now that she sees it with her own eyes, she really has to be amazed by the prosperity of Da Zhou.
