Tianbao said he would let him go without any delay.
While catching cicadas, I took Yan Changkong out of the miasma forest. "There are oxcarts for rent at Pier 12 on the other side of the river. Leave directly along the road. Don't linger outside the village to investigate, otherwise you won't survive until the sun sets."
"..."
From Tubei Village to the border town, the oxcart traveled slowly and leisurely for an hour and a half.
When we arrived at the border town, the sun happened to be setting.
Yan Changkong sat on a simple ox cart made of a few wooden boards, watching the red sunset in the sky.
Miss Su's timing was really good, leaving no room for him.
"Moo~" The big buffalo with a gray-black complexion and sparse hair yelled impatiently and waved its heavy horns, as if it didn't like the people popping up from around the corner.
The driver was a member of the Twelve Pier Gang, who turned a blind eye to the people approaching him and spread his hands in front of Yan Changkong, "Forty benefits."
The Nansang secret guard who rushed over watched the prince jump out of the broken car and obediently take out the money to pay.
The man from Pier 12 took the money, weighed it with satisfaction and put it in his arms, turned the car around and drove away.
"Is the prince okay? We followed him all the way, but unfortunately we were never able to sneak into the place of exile to rescue him. I hope the prince will forgive me!" the leading secret guard whispered.
Yan Changkong glanced at them lightly.
The six people who came here were all top masters of Nansang Royal Secret Guards.
Because of the different regions, their appearance is slightly different from that of Dai Viet people. Even if they wear common clothes and dress like ordinary people, people with sharp eyes can still see the difference.
"The border towns are full of spies from various countries, and there is no way to hide your whereabouts. Is the boat back to Nansang ready? Board the boat first. If you have anything to say, we can talk on board."
After hearing the order, the secret guard said nothing and led Yan Changkong into the carriage parked at the inner corner of the city gate, speeding towards the pier in the border town.
As soon as the carriage left the street, there was immediate movement in the streets and alleys of the border town.
Countless figures flashed by quietly, including ordinary houses in the city, backyards of wine shops, dilapidated and deserted alleys... carrier pigeons suddenly appeared and flew out in different directions.
…
The embers in the sky gradually disappeared.
The children who played in the miasma forest returned home with a lot of fun. They counted the poisonous cicadas they had caught and exchanged them for jelly beans with Grandpa Poison.
The elders of the Su family didn't know until Tianbao came back that Yan Changkong had left Tubei Village and returned to Nansang.
The old man and the old lady were silent for a moment, and finally sighed silently.
"Let's just leave. He is from Nansang, so he will naturally go back. I just hope that the countries will not go to war... When there is a war, it will be the common people who suffer." Mr. Su sighed.
Su Da shook his head, "I can't say for sure. People don't like war, but whether to fight or not is the emperor's decision. Nan Sang is too ambitious, and it's hard to say what will happen next."
After dinner, the elders sat together and sighed.
The juniors also sat in a corner of the courtyard, enjoying the evening breeze and talking quietly.
Su An, "Tianbao, just let him go back?"
"Well, there is little use in keeping him here. Letting him go may change the situation." Tianbao said in a light voice, "The countries have been trapped in conspiracy for decades. At that time, Yan Changkong was not born yet. The one who is ambitious is the Supreme Emperor Nansang. Yan Changkong told the truth that between Nansang's interests and his, the Supreme Emperor would not choose him."
When Su Wu heard this, he thought he understood, "It means that the descendants can have ten or eight children at any time, but the opportunity to dominate the world will never come back. In comparison, Yan Changkong is worthless. In this case, why not kill him directly? He, when he goes back, Nan Sang will help him. After all, Yan Changkong is not stupid."
The farm horse is not very friendly to people with tall legs and long legs. Every time Bai Yu sits on the horse, he has to straighten his legs, which makes them uncomfortable.
He raised his lips and laughed, explaining to Xiao Wuzi, "You don't understand this. Yan Changkong is a rational and calm person with a deep understanding of the city. When he goes back, he will definitely sit in that position. Another thing is, Yan Changkong He is relatively knowledgeable and knows how to weigh the pros and cons. He will not easily start a war if he is not completely sure."
Tianbao lowered his eyes and said, "The Huo family was persecuted by the eleven countries back then, and it goes without saying that the hatred is deep. But Master's wish is for the world to be peaceful and free from war."
When there is peace and there are no wars, the people will not have to suffer from wars and chaos, and the people will not be able to make a living.
The boys fell silent, their eyes flashing.
Outside the door of the Su family's courtyard, a thin and handsome man stood quietly in the shadows for a long time, holding a broken cattail leaf fan.
Then, smile lines appeared at the end of his eyes, he shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and turned on his heels to return to his small courtyard.
"Come here and there quietly, are you a thief?" A muttered voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw the little old man squatting on the courtyard wall, like an owl catching mice in the night.
Huo Ziheng smiled and simply turned around and walked under the little old man, raised his head and invited him, "I am very happy to have such disciples in my life. Mr. Du, would you like to come down and have a cup of tea with me and chat?"
"No, what's the point of chatting with you? There's a pedantic and sour smell when I open my mouth, which makes the old man panic!" Du Buguo changed from squatting to sitting, and his triangular eyes squinted from top to bottom, "If you don't avenge yourself, If this is the case, are you willing?"
Huo Ziheng's smile did not diminish and his voice was gentle, "The Huo family's hatred has nothing to do with the people. If you blindly ignore innocent people and cause trouble to the world because of your own selfishness, what is the difference between you and those people?"
The poisonous old man pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then jumped down from the wall, "That's all, it's very pitiful that you can't find a partner for tea. Old man, I want to drink two cups with you, do you want a big red robe?"
"Can."
"Can you please talk to me carefully? We are from the village now, and we are half mud-legged!"
"You must have the appearance of a gentleman, and you must not be vulgar."
The old man put his hands behind his back and took a few big steps forward, not bothering to walk with him, "Fuck."
Grandpa is vulgar, so what!
It elicited a few chuckles from the literati.
In the Huo family courtyard, Mr. Huo had already lit the small stove, put the teapot on and boiled the tea leaves.
When he saw the man and the old man coming back, he still looked at them with raised eyebrows, but didn't say much.
After being married for decades, she knew the temperament of her child's father very well.
Never a hard-hearted person.
Twenty years ago, I extended a helping hand to the newly arrived Su family, and I do the same to the people of the world today.
She liked his appearance and talent, and even more liked his broadmindedness.
"Mom, you are a little unusual today. You rarely make tea for dad in person." Xiaomaisui squatted next to her and held her cheek in her hands, laughing and teasing.
Huo Shi glanced at her, "Why are you still here? It's annoying to talk so much! Move on and don't block the place! Your brother and sister are having a lively chat next door, go over there and cause trouble!"
"When I was little, I was still a treasure, now I'm going to become a fool? I'll go, I'll go, the only one who can charm you is my dad, huh!"
"Get out! If I didn't have a mini dad, how could I have you? I'm an unfilial daughter! Let's go, let's go!"
Feeling that her daughter was walking slowly, Huo picked her up and kicked her out without feeling any distress.
Smelly girl, how dare you arrange for her father?
