Gu Li's injuries healed quickly.

If it weren't for Zhang Qiye's strong request and intimidation to stay in Baishitang for a few more days, Gu Li would have jumped out of bed and walked around the street.

He urged Yun Sheng to quickly pack his things and prepare to return to the capital.

Unlike Zhang Zhen, they don't take the official road, they take the small road instead, and the road has been taken care of by Mei Shi's people along the road, and Yun Sheng doesn't need to worry about safety at all.

The only thing she is worried about now is Zhang Jiusheng.

Zhang Jiusheng had made up his mind to follow Yun Sheng to the capital, this matter had been a sure thing since they came back from the mountains, and Yun Sheng couldn't change Zhang Jiusheng's decision.

Even if Yun Sheng secretly left, Zhang Jiusheng would secretly follow.

Moreover, this undoubtedly put Zhang Jiusheng in danger, and Yun Sheng would never do such a thing.

On the day he left Fan County, neither Yun Sheng nor Zhang Jiusheng mentioned anything about not letting Zhang Jiusheng go to the capital with him before, Gu Li saw that these two people were a little different, but they were going back to the capital anyway, he was very happy, completely ignoring the two of them, and only caring about talking to Zhang Tong.

"Let's go, and I'll leave it to you here in Fan County."

"It's really surprising that these words came out of your mouth, and those who don't know still think that you are the county magistrate of Fan County?" Zhang Tong complained without surprise.

Gu Li raised his hand to make a gesture to fight, but Zhang Tong also immediately raised his hand to hold his head, and took a big step back by the way.

"If nothing else, Guan Ning will also secretly go to the capital." Gu Li took a step forward, grabbed Zhang Tong's arm, and said in his ear.

"So?"

"If you want your good brother not to lose his father so soon, bring some people now and go to watch Guan Ning."

"Can't you lend me some? You know, I'm just a little bit of a guy and I don't have that many connections. Zhang Tong said with a frown.

Gu Li stared at him for a while, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder: "I have already taken away all the people here, you can figure it out yourself." ”

With that, Gu Li turned around and walked to Yun Sheng and Zhang Jiusheng's carriage, and asked, "How is it?" Are you done with it? ”

Yun Sheng nodded, and climbed into the carriage with Zhang Jiusheng's hand.

Zhang Jiusheng also followed, turned around and said to Zhang Qiye, who came to see him off: "Brother, you go back first, take care of your father, I'll be back soon." ”

"Be careful all the way, remember to take the medicine given to you."

"Got it, brother."

As soon as Zhang Jiusheng sat down in the carriage, he was grabbed by Yun Sheng by his sleeve and asked, "Are you sick?" ”

"No?" Zhang Jiusheng was confused.

"Then how can the eldest young master give you medicine?"

"Oh yes, there's a bottle for you." Zhang Jiusheng reacted, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over, and continued: "Big brother is afraid that your body will not recover well, and the road will be thousands of miles away and very bumpy, so be prepared." ”

Yun Sheng took the porcelain vase and still asked, "What about yours?" Is it also this medicine? ”

"Mine? Mine is different from you, my eldest brother is afraid that I will not be used to eating food in the capital, so he specially prepared it for me. Zhang Jiusheng took out the other porcelain bottle in his arms, shook it in front of Yun Sheng's eyes, and stuffed it back.

While the two were talking, there was a knocking sound outside.

Zhang Jiusheng lifted the carriage curtain, and Gu Li stood outside.

"What's wrong?"

"Ready to go, there's nothing left behind, right?"

"It's gone, it's all cleaned up."

"Okay." Gu Li said, then stretched out his hand to lower the carriage curtain, and shouted to the outside: "Let's go!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the carriage swayed.

The sound of horses' hooves on the left and right sides of the carriage, Dada was crisp, Gu Li rode a horse, leading the way at the front, Ah Rong accompanied by the carriage, and the rest of Mei Shi followed behind the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage shook with the shaking of the carriage, and the scenery outside was exposed through the narrow window cracks, Zhang Jiusheng looked at it, and the city gate of Fan County gradually changed from large to small, and finally he was completely invisible, and he retracted his gaze.

From beginning to end, he did not regret leaving Fan County with Yun Sheng.

"When you get to the capital, you don't have to worry about me, just do your own thing. I'll find an inn to stay in peace and pick me up when you're done. Actually, I haven't been to the capital since I'm so old, and I really want to see what the Prime Minister's Mansion looks like. Zhang Jiusheng raised the corners of his lips and looked at Yun Sheng with a smile.

Yun Sheng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

It's all for her.

He could have left him alone.

"The capital is big, there are many people, and the street is more lively than the most lively street in Fan County." Yun Sheng thought about it for a long time before finally smiling at Zhang Jiusheng.

She gestured with her hands and feet, trying hard to depict a prosperous capital in her mind to Zhang Jiusheng.

She talked about the sugar gourds on the street, the hawthorns are rounder than the other, the sugar coating is thicker than the other, and when she takes a bite, it is sweet and sour, and her lips and teeth are full of relish.

Speaking of that summer, when the cicadas were singing in their ears and the willows were rising on the embankment, when the frost was still alive, they walked hand in hand, side by side, and forgot what they were saying, but remembered that they both smiled brighter than the sun overhead.

When she went back this time, she wanted to go to Liu's house to have a look.

Zhang Jiusheng took her hand and said, "She has a spirit in the sky, and she will be very happy to see you living well now." ”

The two chatted in the carriage, completely oblivious to the movement outside the carriage.

Gu Li was riding on the horse, and his body was also swaying, Ah Rong listened to the people chatting on the side of the carriage for a long time, pouted, and drove to Gu Li's side.

"What's going on?" Gu Li asked.

"It's boring."

Gu Li chuckled, glanced back at the carriage, and said, "The young couple are talking about love, but of course you are a lonely person who listens to it." ”

"Big brother, I don't understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"That second young master of the Zhang family doesn't understand anything, why should we take him to the capital with us?"

"He doesn't understand anything, but he is the son of Zhang Ci."

"So what?" Ei frowned.

Gu Li raised his hand, patted Ah Ei's head lightly, and said, "Even if he doesn't come to the capital with him, the Holy Lord will order me to take him back." ”

"What does the Holy Lord?" Ei was surprised.

"What do you think? Zhang Ershao has been a county magistrate in Fan County for so many years, without merit or fault, which of those sons and nephews of civil and military officials in the court is not better than Zhang Ersless to be a county magistrate? Why did he stay in that position for so long? Don't you understand? ”

Ah Yi thought for a moment and shook his head.

Gu Li frowned, raised his hand and wanted to hit again, but he still retracted and scolded: "Let you read more books and use your brain more, why are you still with such an elm head?" ”

Ei blushed and scratched her head.

"Before the death of the emperor, the jade seal was given to Zhang Ci. Zhang Jiusheng is Zhang Ci's son, do you think he is really just a gentleman? Now that there is turmoil in the court, even if Fan County is in the far position of the Tiangao Emperor, do you think that if Wu Zhidun wants to reach out, he really can't reach here? He couldn't reach in. ”

"Don't look at Zhang Ci as if he was retiring, even Baishitang was handed over to Zhang Qiye to take care of, he didn't even ask about the affairs of the yamen, it seemed that he had left the court wholeheartedly. In fact, it's not, his two sons, one is in the court, the other is in the opposition, Zhang Qiye's status in the rivers and lakes, don't you know? ”

Ei nodded: "Yes." ”

"Which of Mr. Zhou's students is not far away from the capital?"

Ei was dumbfounded.

"Understood?" Gu Li saw that he had an epiphany, and Fang felt that his son could be taught.

Ah Yi glanced at Gu Li, drove the horse again, and returned to the side of the carriage.

After a while, Zhang Jiusheng lifted the curtain and asked, "Where have you gone?" ”

With Fang Cai's words to Gu Li, Ah Yi saw that Zhang Jiusheng was no longer so disgusted at this time, and said respectfully: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the next town today, so I have to find a place to spend the night in the woods." ”

"Ah, that's it." Zhang Jiusheng thoughtfully, put down the curtain, flipped through the package that was stuffed into the carriage when he left, and then lifted the curtain and said to Ah Rong outside: "It's okay, the mattress we brought is enough, and we can give some to the brothers at that time." ”

Ah Rong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's okay, when it gets night, the two of you will rest in the car. ”

Zhang Jiusheng frowned, pondered for a while, glanced at Yun Sheng in the car, and then said, "I'll talk about it that night." ”

"Okay."

"What? Running out into town too late? Yun Sheng asked.

Zhang Jiusheng nodded: "We have to spend the night outside tonight, the mattress is enough, and then we will raise some fires, take out all the thick clothes and put them in the car, and save some mattresses for the brothers outside." ”

"Very good."

Listening to the conversation between the two in the car, Ah Rong took a deep breath, and the vague prejudice against Zhang Jiusheng in the past was gone at this time.

Winter nights come very quickly.

When Ah Rong rang the carriage again, Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng got off the carriage one after the other, and the fire had already risen, because it was cold, snakes, insects, rats, ants and other things had already hidden under the ground.

Mei Shi's men moved quickly, and by the time Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng sat down on the edge of the fire, they had already put the washed fish and prey on the sharpened bamboo branches and roasted them on the fire.

Taking the grilled fish handed over by Ah Ei, Zhang Jiusheng said "thank you", turned his head and handed the fish in his hand to Yun Sheng.

"Watch out for the sting." He said casually.

"I've wronged you two tonight." Gu Li looked around and walked over to say.

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Jiusheng tilted his head and said with a smile.

He did bring them a lot of trouble, one more person is equivalent to one more burden, but Gu Li and they just smiled and didn't say anything.

Everyone understands people.

Sure enough, as Aei said, after dinner, several of Mei's brothers had already arranged to take turns to keep vigil, and a few of those who had taken the turn to keep vigil in the middle of the night had already jumped onto the tree, crossed their arms and began to nap.

"Let's get into the carriage, no matter what movement there is at night, don't get off the carriage easily." Gu Li urged.
