Today, Gu Xuanqi was earlier than usual, at this time, the sky outside the window had not yet brightened, it was the darkest time of the day, and the biting chill of winter slowly crept in along the gap in the window like a poisonous snake that smelled the smell of prey, and coldly stuck to his hot skin, but it didn't affect him in the slightest.

The maids outside the house have been busy for a long time, pinching the time to boil the water, and then pouring them into the wooden barrels of the bath one after another, and putting in some medicinal materials to replenish the body as usual, causing the whole room to be a faint medicinal fragrance, Gu Xuan calmly under the careful service of the maids, he washed his whole body very seriously, deliberately put on a brand-new suit, tied his hair, and then solemnly took off the imperial sword hanging in the center of the house and collapsed it on his waist, and then walked out of the door.

Stepping on the frozen ground, Gu Xuan raised his head, looked at the sky above his head where the stars were hidden, and sighed softly, and suddenly a misty white mist rose up, and disappeared into the air in a blink of an eye.

Although he had already prepared to leave in his heart, when it really came to this time, Gu Xuan found that he was still reluctant after all.

Suddenly, I am about to leave the place where I have lived for a full eighteen years, and the future is uncertain, who can not give birth to a lot of emotion.

He walked all the way, every grass and tree in Yongle Palace has been deeply engraved into his memory, the front hall that he played with in his childhood, the wall that accidentally made a crack when practicing martial arts, the beams and pillars that secretly carved his name, and even a seemingly ordinary tile on the roof, which seemed to be full of traces of his life.

But people are moving forward after all, Gu Xuan stopped at the central patio for a moment, took a deep breath, as if he wanted to leave the unique smell of Yongle Palace in his body, and after a while, he opened his eyes and walked out.

The bags and packages have already been completely packed yesterday, and there are not many things to take away, nothing more than some change of clothes, a stack of silver tickets for the official passage of the Liang Kingdom, and the documents used to prove identity when clearing customs and taking office, in addition, there is nothing else, the prince of a country, the simplicity is surprising.

Gu Xuan, who didn't want to make his mother sad, and was also afraid of the parting scene, selfishly chose to leave secretly while his mother was still asleep, and when he was ready, he took his bags with him, and no one informed him, so he set off directly.

However, what he didn't know was that Concubine Li, who had not slept all night, was standing by the window in the house at this time, looking at the figure in the distance in the dark, the strong mother finally cried, with a sad and joyful smile on her face, both sad and reluctant, but also relieved and ardent, but she covered her mouth from beginning to end, not daring to let her son in the distance hear the movement and turn back.

Parents are always afraid of dragging their children back, seeing their children traveling far away, although they are reluctant, they dare not tell each other.

Gu Xuan would definitely not know, after knowing that he was going to leave Beijing to take office, his mother stayed in his room every day, sewed clothes for him by himself, and even lit an oil lamp yesterday, and rushed to work all night, before finally embroidering an extra winter coat for him on the last day, secretly stuffing it into the package, and then hurried back to his room, just afraid of being bumped into by Gu Xuan who came out.

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late.

A mother's love is always moisturizing things silently, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, ice and snow melting, and spring flowers blooming.

In this impersonal palace, finally her son left, Concubine Li lowered her head, sat quietly on the bed, reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and silently put away her fingers full of pinholes.

Running is not allowed in the palace city, and there are many checkpoints, Rao is Gu Xuan walked extremely fast, and when he relied on his foot strength to cross the entire Dongcheng District and walked to the city gate, the sky was almost bright.

The core center of the entire Liangguo, the capital of Daliang was not built in the relatively safer rear, but was located in Liangzhou on the edge of the two states of Youyan, not far from the border of the two states of Youyan, the climate is not much different from the side of Youzhou, cold and sandy, once it is winter, the dust drifting from Youzhou is often smoked the whole sky is dark yellow, when the wind rises, it is even more invisible, a little bit of blackened snowflakes slowly fall down, and suddenly it seems that this place is particularly desolate.

At this time, it was already time for the vendors delivering vegetables outside the city to drive into the city, and the flow of people was slowly increasing, and the huge capital seemed to be slowly waking up, and there was already a high-pitched shouting sound on the side of the road, but at the wide city gate, waiting for Gu Xuan, there were only four people.

One is Jinglong, who wants to leave with him to escort him to Huangsha County, and the other three are naturally the crown prince Gu Cang and his two personal maids.

Seeing Gu Xuan coming over, Gu Cang immediately gave up.

"Fifth brother, Dong An. ”

Gu Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Second brother, and everyone, Dong An." ”

Ning Shuang secretly pursed her lips, but in the end, she didn't really know the current affairs and didn't dare to say anything on this occasion, but Xiaolu smiled kindly and bowed slightly.

Gu Cang beckoned, let Jinglong lead the two horses that had been tied to the side of the road, and smiled at Gu Xuan: "These are the two good horses I personally prepared for you, both of them are the top horses of Yanzhou Hulan Ranch, short charge, long run, all long." ”

The cavalry of Yanzhou in Liangguo is very famous in the south of the western continent, in addition to the brave and good soldiers of the cavalry team, and the generals in power are well commanded, the more important reason is the horses of the cavalry team.

Liangguo in Youzhou, Yanzhou and Haizhou are placed in a special horse pasture, but only Yanzhou is the most fertile pasture, Yanzhou ranch produced a good horse, this Hulan ranch is Yanzhou, can even be said to be the best pasture in the entire Liangguo, only for the entire Yanzhou most elite blood army, the other team is to ask grandpa to tell grandma, it is impossible to get a horse after looking for a relationship, the war horses produced by Hulan Ranch are in the army, up to the general, down to the soldiers, treat them more than their own daughter-in-law, and only the prince Gu Cang can pull out two horses from the mouth of the commander of the blood army。

Gu Xuan is not stupid, he naturally knows the value of the two top horses in Hulan Ranch, that is a real priceless treasure, not to mention much, in the dangerous place of Huangsha County, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a second life, once it runs, the enemy is unable to catch up with thousands of troops, so thank you immediately.

"Fifth brother, take care, go to Huangsha County on this trip, be careful, everything needs to be cautious and cautious, think twice before acting, don't act impulsively, live well, more important than anything else. ”

At this juncture, looking at the younger brother in front of him, Gu Cang even subconsciously wanted to come back if he said no, but his mouth squirmed twice, and he couldn't say it after all.

It wasn't until this time that he suddenly realized that the other party was just an eighteen-year-old boy, and he even wondered if he was in too much of a hurry.

But I'm sorry, fifth brother, second brother doesn't have much time on his own, so I can only tire you to grow up quickly.

Gu Xuan naturally didn't know this, looking at the divine horse in front of him, seeing that he was happy, he kicked his feet at the moment, stepped on the horseback easily, sat on the saddle cushion and arched his hand to Gu Cang below: "Second brother Xie cares, I also know that this trip is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but since the second brother has the heart to change the world, how can I not help, the so-called hardships and dangers are just soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, open the mountains when encountering the mountains, and build bridges when the water is seen, what is there to fear?"

If you say goodbye to your mother, you may still be reluctant, but in the face of this second brother who has always taken care of him, Gu Xuan is full of spirit.

Between men, there is not so much entanglement, neither of them is a person who talks much, and after chatting a few words, they are naturally about to set off.

"Okay! A young man should be a boy!" Gu Cang seemed to be moved by Gu Xuan's words, laughed heartily, and shouted loudly, "Fifth brother, I look forward to the day when you and I meet again!"

The young man on horseback pulled the reins suddenly, his eyebrows fluttered, he was full of energy, and asked proudly: "I want to do great things here, can the second brother give me a poem?"

The sky and the earth are dusk, the cold wind is biting, the birds are singing, the snowflakes are falling, and the two people at the gate of the city are one on the horse, one under the horse, standing on the avenue, looking at each other, all of them are high-spirited.

"Okay, the second brother will send you a poem to make a great trip, I wish you a smooth journey!" Gu Cang didn't think much about it, just looked at the sky, and the whole poem jumped to the end, "Thousands of miles of yellow clouds are dawning, and the north wind is blowing geese and snow." Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you. ”

"Don't worry about the road ahead without knowing yourself, no one in the world knows you. ”

Gu Xuan, who was sitting on the horse, savored it carefully, then raised his head, thanked him with a big smile, and did not delay any longer, directly clamped the horse's belly, and left with Jinglong, Gu Xuan, who turned his back, raised his right hand and raised his clenched fist high.

Gu Cang stood in place, watching Gu Xuan go away, with a smile on his face, and waited until the other party completely disappeared from sight, then turned around, turned his head and urged Xiaolu Ningshuang and the others: "Let's go, go back to work!"

Gu Xuan here has been riding his horse and galloping, and after a few miles of galloping, he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped in place, and Jinglong behind him also stopped, only slightly behind one position, Gu Xuan looked up at the sky, only feeling that at this moment it was the real sky for birds to fly, and the sea was wide with fish jumping, and he thought of Gu Cang's poem, and a sense of pride arose.

He raised his arms and shouted: "I, Gu Xuan, will definitely become famous in the sea realm in the future! Let everyone in the world know my name!"

Jing Long, who left the capital and fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years, was even more emotional, looking at Gu Xuan at this time, he also laughed heartily, hugged his fists and said: "I am willing to help my son!"

Gu Xuan didn't stop, he clamped the horse's belly again, and began to gallop again, at this time he had reached the edge of the field, and the peasants on both sides looked at the young man who came out of the capital, and only felt that life should be like this.
