Chapter 1479: Return to the Old Capital
After leaving Liusha Town, Xiao Tian, Su Jia and others immediately went to Bianliang, and after about four or five days, the group finally came to the outside of Bianliang City......
"Wow, it's here, this is Bianliang City-" Among the group, Fang Ying was still the most excited, looking at the two big words "Bianliang" on the distant city wall, Fang Ying couldn't help shouting happily.
"Why are you shouting so loudly, we are not deaf......" Xiao Tian had a calm expression, and when he returned here again, a sense of familiarity came to his face, and when he heard Fang Ying's shout, he couldn't help but pluck out his ears and teased, "Hey, Brother Huang Ji, you have to be strict, be careful not to use one, let this crazy girl run away......"
"Yes, yes, I know......" Huang Ji smiled with a foil, looking at the ancient capital of the courtiers who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and returned here again, Huang Ji couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't returned to Bianliang for two years, and I don't know ......if the appearance of the city has changed."
"Bianliang City......" Lin Yufei took a few steps forward, looked at the old city wall, and couldn't help but sigh silently, "I think when I was young, I often came to Bianliang, and I didn't come out for nineteen years, but now when I come back here, I have a sense of freshness......
"Mother, it turns out that you also came here when you were young......" Su Jia heard this, and couldn't help but ask her mother.
"Yes......" Lin Yufei replied slightly, "After all, this is also the gathering place of the Central Plains martial arts, when Wei Niang was still in the world, she was not less involved in the complicated and trivial matters......
"But isn't it?I think that Jia'er and I encountered too many rights and ......wrongs in Bianliang City," Xiao Tian heard this, and responded with a smile, "It was in this place that we met Tang Zhan's brothers and Jingmei, and Jia'er also made a lot of friends......
"Yes, it's not just Sister Jing, but also the Zichuan brothers, and Yuru's sister-in-law......" Su Jia mentioned the past again, thinking of the friends who died in Bianliang's First World War, her eyes couldn't help but say in a low voice, "I know them here, but whoever wants to separate from them is also here......"
"Brother Zichuan, for the mission of the family, for the people of Bianliang City, they finally died on the battlefield...... Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh sadly after hearing it, "They are all heroes, and they are the proud ...... of Bianliang City."
Speaking of the sacrificed Zhao Zichuan and others, Xiao Tian and Su Jia couldn't help but look a little confused, after all, they saw their dear friends die in the war, and this eternal pain could not be expressed to others.
"What's the matter, didn't you say that you shouldn't mention these sad things?......" Fang Ying heard Xiao Tian and Su Jia's conversation, knowing that they were worried about the war again, so she couldn't help but feel relieved, "It's hard to come back here, you should be happy...... Like me, I've never been to Bianliang since I was a child, and I've heard of countless deeds here, so I really want to go in and take a look——"
Fang Ying is such a character, no matter where she is, she has endless happiness and joy.
"Okay, okay, I'll accompany Ying'er to play with you in a while......" Huang Ji saw Fang Ying "talking" on the side again, disturbing Xiao Tian and Su Jia's "injury", and couldn't help but step forward and cover his mouth and say.
Lin Yufei thought about it, and comforted him by the way: "That's right, just return to your hometown and look a little more open...... Anyway, Jia'er, you and your son-in-law are also the big heroes who saved Bianliang City, aren't you? Don't be depressed all day long......"
Su Jia paused, and then said with a smile: "Yes, my mother is right, after all, it was me and Ah Tian who saved Bianliang with your own hands, and I finally came back, don't think too much about being unhappy...... After investigating the secrets of the Nangong family for a while, we can play with Sister Ying - the last time I returned to Bianliang with the army, I didn't have much taste of the scenery in the city, and now that the war is over, this time we can completely let go of everything and enjoy the good, right?"
"Ah, Jia'er, you're right......" Xiao Tian nodded with a smile, and then asked Huang Ji again, "Brother Huang Ji, Jia'er and I will go to the old site of the Nangong family to investigate the matter in a while, do you and Sister Ying want to join us?"
Huang Ji turned his head and replied: "Ah, I won't be able to, I will take Ying'er to the place where I used to have a pharmacy in a while, and then go to the prefect to find Brother Yuan Chong...... You and Miss Su should go first, if there is any result of the investigation, remember to come and tell us-"
"Okay then-" Su Jia nodded in agreement, then turned her head and asked her mother, "Mother, what about you?" are you with me and Ah Tian, or do you accompany the Huang Ji brothers to play......
Lin Yufei smiled and said calmly: "Jia'er, you don't have to take care of me, my mother wants to wander around this Bianliang City alone, and then find a quiet inn to rest......"
"But mother-in-law, you are walking alone, in case something happens...... Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask with concern in order to please his mother-in-law in front of Su Jia.
Lin Yufei echoed and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern...... But now that Bianliang has been liberated, what danger can there be everywhere? Moreover, I am also a person who has experience in the rivers and lakes, and even if something happens, I have a way to take care of myself......"
"But how to say that Bianliang has just been liberated, and the security in the city should not be perfect, I think it is better to be careful......" Xiao Tian continued to say cautiously.
"Why don't you do it......" Su Jia suddenly mentioned, "After a while, we will send my mother to a nearby inn to rest, and then the two of us will come out to investigate the matter, and when the investigation is over, we will go to the prefect to meet Huang Ji and Ying Mei, and then return to my mother's side together......"
"That's a good idea too...... Xiao Tian didn't object, and then said, "Then it's decided, arrange things and go about your own business, and we'll meet ...... at the inn where we rest in the evening."
So the plan was discussed, and everyone went to the east gate of Bianliang together......
Bianliang, who has experienced the baptism of war, has never suffered any more disasters since the Ming army liberated the city. However, as Xiao Tian said, Bianliang City has just been liberated, and the public order in the city has not been maintained, and from time to time there will be bandits and the like in the rivers and lakes who sneak into the city and take this opportunity to "conspire" in the city.
Of course, these things don't matter, with Yuan Chong, the former prefect of Bianliang, sitting in the city to maintain law and order, everything in the city is still the same......
At this moment, in the north city of Bianliang, there is a long convoy of merchants slowly driving into the city......
The north of Bianliang City, which was originally the former site of the Lai Dart Bureau, has become an important place for military drills since the Lai Dart Bureau moved to Dadu. However, Bianliang was defeated by Mengyuan in the First War, and the original military training school was abandoned, and it became desolate again. To tell the truth, after the baptism of the first battle of Bianliang, Bianliang City is not as prosperous and lively as before, but now there is no oppression of the Mengyuan court, and the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, which is not a good thing......
The convoy drove to the empty gate of the former site of the Lai Dart Bureau and immediately stopped......
"Phew—" The groom in front of the car rode his horse, signaling that the convoy had reached its destination.
"Darthead, we're ......" The person who spoke was a young man with a hot-blooded demeanor, and said to the dart head in the car.
Dart head is a middle-aged man over 50 years old, seeing that the convoy has reached the destination, Dart head took the lead to get out of the car and said: "Thank you, Ah Guang, after such a long journey, we finally returned to Bianliang......
It turned out that the carload of people who came back to Bianliang was none other than the dart bureau that had returned to Bianliang from Dadu......
A month ago in Dadu, Sun Yun, the young master of the Lai Yun Dart Bureau, broke into the palace alone in order to avenge his family, and killed the protector Taishi Hansheng with his own hands, which shocked the Mengyuan court. In order to get rid of Sun Yun, Chatai Kortai, who is also a member of the Chatai family, used this as an excuse to mobilize elite soldiers and horses in the DPRK and China to besiege the Laiyun Dart Bureau, intending to kill Sun Yun.
Fortunately, the day after Sun Yun and his wife Du Juan got married, Sun Yun ordered Ren Guang and others to take the family of the dart bureau away from Dadu, carry the title deed of the former Bianliang dart bureau, and return to Bianliang City, so that the dart bureau family was saved from disaster. And Sun Yun himself stayed in Dadu alone, settled his grievances with the imperial court and the Chatai family, and his life and death are still uncertain.
Now that more than a month has passed, Sun Shangrong, Ren Guang and others have returned to Bianliang City safely with all the darts and returned to their original home. But for more than a month, they have never forgotten their worries about Sun Yun, although they and others are away from danger, they still take care of Sun Yun, who is uncertain about his life and death in the capital.
The most obvious of these is Du Juan - as a newlywed wife, she and Sun Yun have just spent a good night, but they are separated from heaven and earth, life and death, and no one can bear such pain. In the past month or so, Du Juan has often not forgotten his thoughts about Sun Yun, and silently prayed every day that most of her husbands would be safe and sound......
"Young lady, we have arrived at ......" Ren Guang walked to the cuckoo's carriage again and said silently.
Du Juan didn't respond much, still sitting in the carriage, it seemed that he had not recovered from the separation with Sun Yun for more than a month.
Ren Guang also knows what Du Juan thinks very well, and he will never forget the explanation that the young master Sun Yun gave to him before Dadu left-no matter when and where, he must protect Du Juan from harm, this is his last promise as a brother.
"Young lady, I know you are sad in your heart, but the past can't be changed......" Ren Guang knew that Du Juan was still heartbroken about Sun Yun's affairs, and he rarely spoke in the past month, and he was immersed in sad sorrow every day.
The cuckoo slowed down, opened the curtain of the carriage, and slowly got off the carriage with a limp of legs, and then asked in a haggard voice, "What are we......?" Back to Bianliang?"
"Yes, we arrived, we finally went home......" Ren Guang continued.
"We're back, but Brother Yun ......," Du Juan said this, and couldn't help but think bitterly.
"Young lady, don't think about it too much, I believe that the young master Taji has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine-" Ren Guang comforted him on the side, and that's all he can do now......
"Ah Guang, there is an order for the dart, let us all wait for a while, and go and clean the courtyard of the original dart board......" As he was speaking, Lin Jing shouted at Ren Guang in the distance.
"Oh, I know—" Ren Guang agreed casually, and then turned back to the cuckoo and said, "Young lady, you have been traveling for a month, and you are also tired a lot, just tidy up the affairs of the yard and leave it to us big men, and when the seats in the vacant room are vacated later, you and Mrs. will have a good rest first......
"No need, before this, I want to walk around Bianliang City alone......" Du Juan said in a slightly sad tone with a blank face.
"Going to the city?" Ren Guang couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"Anyway, I used to be from Bianliang...... Du Juan continued silently, "I want to see the old scene of the promenade of the market and recall the original bits and pieces......"
"But young lady, you are alone, in case something happens...... Ren Guang was still worried, "Why don't you let Xiaobei accompany you, at least someone can take care of ......"
"Heh, no need, after all, now Bianliang has gotten rid of the control of the Mengyuan court, and the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, what can happen?......" Du Juan didn't think so, and said with a rare smile, "What's more, I grew up here, I know the road here, I will come back in the evening, and I won't go too far......"
"Okay then, but ......" Ren Guang seemed to be worried about something, and continued to ask, "But young lady, you have to tell us where you are going, we have a ...... in our hearts."
"I want to go to the original Nangong family to see ......" Du Juan continued to say silently, "After all, when I was young, I have been working in the Nangong family, although most of them are bitter memories, but after all, those are memories of my youth, and I still want to go there to see ......" Back in Bianliang City, Du Juan remembered the most, and sure enough, it was still the memories of the Nangong family.
However, when Ren Guang heard this, he couldn't help but cheer up and said, "But the young lady...... When I was in Dadu, I heard that because of the war in Bianliang, the Nangong Murong family was tragically destroyed by the imperial court, and now it has long been deserted......"
"What are you talking about, Nangong family ?!......" Du Juan didn't seem to know about this matter yet, and when he heard the news, he suddenly showed a surprised face.
"Young lady, don't you know?......" Ren Guang continued, "I heard that before the first battle of Bianliang, it seems that the Nangong Murong family committed something, and finally was destroyed by the imperial court...... I'm afraid it's deserted now, and even if you go back, you won't see anything......"
When Du Juan heard this, he couldn't help but stand under the steps and take a look from afar - sure enough, the Nangong "Qianqiu Tower", which symbolized the landmark of Bianliang City, was long gone, and it seemed that what Ren Guang said was not false.
"I really didn't expect that the Nangong family would actually ...... How could something like this happen......" After Du Juan was surprised, he immediately regained his expression and said slowly, "But no matter what, I still have to go back to the old site to have a look, after all, I grew up in Nangong's family, and it is a place I will never forget......
"That'...... Okay, it's just that young lady, you remember to come back early......" Ren Guang continued to whisper.
"Well, I know......" The cuckoo nodded slightly, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the old site of the Nangong family in the city......
