Chapter 416 The joy of reunion
After passing Liangzhou City, you will walk forward to Guannei Road. Gu Qing walked along the way and saw the desolate scenery of the desert gradually turning into beautiful mountains and rivers. The cities are more prosperous and prosperous, and his mood becomes happy.
I have been away from Chang'an for a long time, and it is as if it were a lifetime ago. Those familiar people, familiar streets and alleys, have been seen countless times in my dreams, and now I am about to see them alive.
It seems as if I have returned to the world from the empty jungle, and the fireworks of the people on the roadside are so exciting.
"Mr. Marquis, do you want to send two personal guards to Chang'an to hit the front station and tell Zhang Siqing that Li Shierniang and the two ladies of the Zhang family, you are back to Chang'an?" Han Jie asked loudly as he rode his horse.
Gu Qing gave him a blank look and said, "Send people to run back all the way to say this nonsense? If you are so idle that you run forward, they will naturally know that I am back when I return to Chang'an. I will send someone to tell them in advance, is it necessary to let them go out of the city to welcome thirty miles?"
Han Jie smiled and said with a little excitement: "I'm so confused, haha."
Gu Qing looked at him curiously and said, "You are cheering and returning home with a hint of uncontrollable love. Why are you so excited?"
Han Jie smiled even more sexy, licked the corner of his mouth and smiled shyly: "I haven't seen my parents' high school for three years. After returning to Chang'an, I want to take a leave of absence from the Marquis. Uh, I'll meet my wife by the way."
Gu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth: "'By the way'? Haha, okay, I'm going to leave for a few more days when I go home, and... Be careful of moderation. I don't want you to get black and your legs when you come back to take the holiday."
"Don't worry, the marquis is a good person, but he doesn't get involved... Of course, if the wife has any requests, the marquis will never refuse." Han Jie solemnly assured.
Gu Qing's cheeks twitched.
I always feel that this guy is maliciously stuffing dog food for himself, but I can't find any evidence.
"When the Mai Jiang came back, I wanted to bring his wife and children to visit the Marquis, and thank him for his favor and care for the Mai Jiang over the years."
Gu Qing sneered: "If I were you, I would never have any intersection between my wife and her circle of friends."
“Why?”
"Madam may not know the shameful things you do outside, but my friends must know that as far as I know, you have visited brothels in Kucha City. If your wife meets me, when both parties chat, I don't guarantee if I will let it go."
Han Jie looked at him with a strange look: "It's okay to tell the wife, what shameful men are when they go to the brothel? After I go home, if the woman asks, I can tell her with confidence how many times I have visited the brothel, and which girl likes the brothel, what is the ability of the maid to fascinate men? Let the woman learn to follow her..."
"A man has been working outside for several years, and his wife is not around. If he has any ideas, wouldn't he allow me to have fun? Logically speaking, it is her dereliction of duty to not meet my needs at any time. She should kneel in front of me to apologize. I don't care about her anymore. She dares to accuse me of going to brothels. Haha, I can't kill her!"
Gu Qing was stunned.
The dregs of feudalism are so terrifying!
The family status is really tightly controlled, and I don’t know if it’s bragging. Gu Qing’s mouth is sore and he is so jealous.
I wonder if she will be so reasonable after getting married to Zhang Huaiyu. If she doesn't agree,... she will be more low-key when she goes to the brothel in the future.
He rode into Yuanzhou and stepped onto the Guanzhong Plain, getting closer and closer to Chang'an.
Han Jie and his personal guards all showed joy and anxiety. After several years of disagreement, they were as if they were returning home. Even Gu Qing couldn't help but speed up his journey.
He has no relatives in this world, but there are many people who cannot let go. This world is no longer unfamiliar to him. People with family will not envy the prodigal son who is wandering around the world.
When they arrived in Qizhou, the sound of horse hooves came from the flat avenue, and Gu Qing and his personal guards looked at each other intently.
Han Jie had the strongest eyesight. After looking at it for a while, he said in surprise: "Marty, the person who rode us in front of us... seemed to be the eldest lady of the Zhang family."
Gu Qing was surprised. The knight on the opposite side was getting closer and closer. Gu Qing also recognized her. He was so surprised that he roared and then decisively rode his horse to meet him. The two approached quickly. When they were still dozens of feet away, Zhang Huaiyu on the opposite side suddenly flew up from the saddle, drew an arc in the air like a meteor, and finally landed steadily on Gu Qing's saddle.
Gu Qing hurriedly pulled the horse, and the two stared at each other in the saddle, with a smile on their lips, and their eyes reflected each other's shadows, occupying all their sights.
Time and space seem to be all still. At this moment, there is only one pair of people in love between heaven and earth.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of "eternity".
The two looked at each other for a long time, as if they were going to make up for the lovesickness they had lost for the past three years. After a while, Gu Qing finally said, "You seem to have lost a little bit."
Zhang Huaiyu smiled and said, "If you can't eat the braised fish you make, your appetite is smaller than before, so you will naturally lose weight."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "I will do it for you after I return to Chang'an."
Then Gu Qing said curiously: "When I left Chang'an, you didn't even leave the door, let alone send me away. Why did you run out of Chang'an to Qizhou to pick me up when I came back? The difference is too big."
Zhang Huaiyu smiled and said, "Farewell is too sad. I don't like it, but reunion is joyful. I want this joy to come soon and I will pick you up no matter how far away."
The cold wind was biting, and a few drops of sweat oozed out of Zhang Huaiyu's nose, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. In his familiar eyebrows and eyes, Gu Qing saw that it was full of him.
Han Jie and his personal guards had already rushed up. Seeing them snuggling together, the personal guards dismounted, bowed to Zhang Huaiyu and clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Greetings to the Marquis's wife."
Zhang Huaiyu's pretty face turned red, and she glared at Gu Qing, who was smiling proudly, but this time she did not correct it for the first time. Instead, she said generously: "You guys are exempt from gifts. You are out in a hurry and have never brought gifts. After returning to Chang'an, you can provide you with them."
Han Jie and his personal guards did not refuse, saluted again, and said in unison: "Thank you, Mrs. Marquis."
Zhang Huaiyu glanced at Gu Qing with a smile and asked softly: "What did you teach them?"
Gu Qing said seriously: "I have never taught you the conscience of heaven and earth. Maybe they think you are born to look like the Marquis's wife, so they can't help but scream like that."
Zhang Huaiyu looked at him in surprise and said strangely: "You can actually speak human language?"
Gu Qing:???
Zhang Huaiyu smiled and said, "Let's hurry up first and go back to Chang'an."
With one more person in the procession, the atmosphere of the team was completely different. Gu Qing and Zhang Huaiyu rode together, and the air was filled with the sour smell of love.
When Gu Qing saw the person he wanted to see the most, he was not in a hurry to rush, and everyone's speed slowed down a lot.
"I was demoted this time. When I left, I was so arrogant, but when I came back, I was in disgrace. When I saw your second ancestor and your twelfth concubine..." Gu Qing said with embarrassment.
Zhang Huaiyu smiled and said, "A real man has his own ravines in his heart. It is normal for his life to rise and fall. The second ancestor and the twelfth concubine are both your relatives. What kind of face do you say in front of your relatives? Do you think they will laugh at you?"
"Maybe they won't, but I feel a little embarrassed..."
Gu Qing frowned. This feeling was like working for a year. When he came home at the end of the year, he said to his parents that he had not made any money this year. Of course, his parents would not blame him, but he would feel a little uncomfortable in the end.
"Your Majesty dismissed you as the governor of Anxi and changed your position as General of the Right Guard. Is it just because you killed a captain who supervised the army?" Zhang Huaiyu asked.
Gu Qing smiled and chilled: "Killing the captain is just an external reason, but the real reason is... Your Majesty has suspicion about me. Any movement of the people in charge of military power will arouse him."
Zhang Huaiyu thoughtfully and said softly: "You have been in Anxi for the past few years, have you fully grasped the morale of the soldiers?"
Gu Qing nodded: "It's considered to be completely mastered."
Zhang Huaiyu smiled: "Since that's the case, Your Majesty will transfer you back to Chang'an. I guess you must have kept a backup plan, right?"
Gu Qing laughed: "You still understand me."
Zhang Huaiyu said again: "So this time I go back to Chang'an, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for long, right?"
"Yes, at least ten days, at most one month, Your Majesty will inevitably issue an order to re-appoint me as the governor of Anxi."
Zhang Huaiyu is indeed a very smart woman. He immediately learned from this and said: "Is it because An Lushan is about to rebel?"
"Yes, once An Lushan reversed, the world was in chaos. He was the Emperor Taiping for forty years. When encountering uneasy things, he would be in a hurry. The Anxi Army is an elite leader of the Tang Dynasty border army and would definitely be transferred back to the inner army to serve the king. If the Anxi Army had no commander, no one would be able to control it."
Zhang Huaiyu stared at him deeply and said, "Heroes must be without wings. You have done a good job in the past few years."
Gu Qing sighed: "I have only taken the first step, and the things that follow are even more difficult. I don't know if I will get my long-cherished wish in the end, or if my body and head are different."
Zhang Huaiyu smiled: "With your ability, it is unlikely that your body and head will be different. As for whether you can get your wish, you will be half a matter of planning and half a matter of God's will. Just do your best."
Gu Qing also smiled and said, "If I get married, I will take you away and fly high. I may be missing a fire in the battle, but I am definitely sure to escape."
"Okay, I will accompany you to the end of your life, and you will accompany me to be a hero."
…………
After walking for another three days, I finally arrived outside Chang'an City.
The group was filled with dust, but after seeing the majestic walls of Chang'an City, Han Jie and his personal guards couldn't help but cheer.
Gu Qing didn't disappoint them and laughed loudly: "High horses and whip into the city, and after entering the city, you will disband on the spot. You will go home to pay homage to your parents and keep warm with your wife. I have a chivalrous woman with great martial arts around me, so don't worry about my safety."
Han Jie and other personal guards hesitated for a while, but still could not resist the temptation to go home, so they all bowed to Zhang Huaiyu.
Everyone rushed outside Chang'an City before dismounting and walking into the city.
After walking into the city, Gu Qing felt inexplicably heavier.
I will settle in the city for one night tonight, and I will go to the Huaqing Palace in Mount Li to meet Li Longji tomorrow.
