Xiao Yi came back in the evening, and he was still the sunny boy. Chu Qing asked a few questions casually, asking what King Wu and this guy were doing.
Xiao Yi didn't hide anything, saying that he had entered the palace, and that he had gone to show off and show off.
Chang Chengke took Xiao Yi to Huang Laosi and said that Xiao Yi was his son, serving in the frontier army and a fifth-rank captain of Fengche. Chu Qing didn't need Xiao Yi to tell him that Chang Chengke's expression at that time must have been very... proud.
After looking for Huang Laosi, this guy took Xiao Yi to Zhaoyang Palace and had a chat with the Supreme Emperor. He said that his son Chang Chengke was capable of both literary and military skills. He fought alone and became the captain of Fengche. Follow Chu Qing to go to Bianguan to hang out, it must be awesome.
After Chu Qing heard this, he happily asked Xiao Yi to rest. Everyone would leave Beijing at dawn tomorrow and head to the border.
After Xiao Yi left the class room, Chu Qing let out a long sigh.
He couldn't say for sure whether Chang Chengke was a good prince or what his character was, but he thought he was a good father.
He knew that King Wu brought Xiao Yi into the palace not to show off, but to let the emperor and the emperor know that his son Chang Chengke was in the border army and was going to return to the border army with Chu Qing. military.
So according to the normal development, the emperor will definitely try his best to prevent this matter and prevent Xiao Yi from following Chu Qing back to the border, because Xiao Yi is the biological son of King Wu!
How can he feel at ease when his own soldier is accompanied by the biological son of his old enemy?
This is Chang Chengke's purpose, to let the emperor prevent Xiao Yi from returning to the border. If Xiao Yi does not return to the border, he may follow his father back to the fiefdom, or he may stay in Beijing, or at least in other camps. In short, he will go no matter what. No matter where, they will not go to the border, and the border is the place where the military death rate is the highest.
This is Chang Chengke's purpose, the purpose of an old father.
That night, Chu Qing barely slept, lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his heart pounding.
In a few hours, he will leave Beijing and go to the border, a barbaric land composed of wind, sand, blood, bones, and swords.
When he reaches the border, his identity and influence as the emperor's personal soldier will be reduced to a minimum. There may no longer be conspiracies and conspiracies around him. What surrounds him should be the most primitive and violent things.
Life is worthless at the border.
As time passed, Fu San knocked on the door.
"Master, the time has come."
"Oh, get up now."
Mao Shi, five o'clock in the morning, was originally scheduled to be Chen Shi, which was seven o'clock. They gathered outside the north gate at Chen Shi.
But Chu Qing wanted to go an hour earlier because he knew that someone would send him off. Although there was no agreement, this person would definitely send him off.
After washing and eating, fifteen Tanma were already standing outside the main hall.
These fifteen detective horses were all carefully selected by Jiang Yuesheng for a long time. They had quick minds, good skills, and were familiar with the customs and customs of the border areas.
In fact, every Tan Ma in the government office wanted to go, but only fifteen of them were singled out by Jiang Yuesheng.
Jiang Yuesheng had a conversation with each of these fifteen people separately. It was not a conversation, but an instruction.
Ergou's instructions were very simple. There was only one request: to bring Chu Qing back alive. Even if all fifteen people died, he would still bring Chu Qing back. If Chu Qing did not come back, he would kill these fifteen people with his own hands. This is the first time Jiang Yuesheng has been cruel to his colleagues.
As if he was going out to bully courtiers and aristocratic families in the past, Chu Qing had no unnecessary nonsense. He nodded to everyone and walked out of the office. Jiang Yuesheng followed closely behind him. He wanted to send Chu Qing to the city gate.
Chu Qing did not get on the carriage, but rode a horse.
Many things are like this. I want to do them all the time, but I always find reasons for myself. Until one day, I have no choice but to do it forcefully, and I find that many things are not difficult.
Just like riding a horse, after the Hanmen Academy was demolished by the Imperial College's supervisors, Chu Qing grabbed the horse and galloped away in desperation, and finally found the feeling of "before". Riding a horse was not difficult, but it was a bit grinding.
Fifteen Tanma, including Xiao Yi, each carried two bags, one for dry food and one for clothing, and weapons were hung under the horses' bellies.
Only Fu San was carrying a bag containing large amounts of banknotes. Chu Qing would spend a lot of these banknotes on the road to buy a large amount of supplies and send them to the border.
The horses walked slowly in the snow, and the team was silent.
Chu Qing suddenly discovered that the capital city was actually quite good, and he didn't seem to hate this city anymore.
Because in this city, there is the Chu Mansion, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Imperial Palace. Because this city is not far from Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs and not far from Hanmen Academy.
Chu Qing didn't like to leave, so he didn't notify too many people that he would be leaving this morning.
The north gate had been opened. When Chu Qing arrived, he was very confused. After asking, he found out that the palace had ordered that the city gate be opened in advance, so that Chu Qing and others could use the main entrance instead of the side entrance. When they come back one day, no matter what No matter what time of day, the front door must be opened and no side door is allowed.
Chu Qing didn't feel flattered, he just felt that Lao Si was quite honest and he didn't care much about such formal things.
After leaving the city, sure enough, a carriage was waiting there. Bihua was leaning on the shaft of the carriage, with sadness written all over her big face.
Chu Qing got off the horse, Bihua knocked on the carriage, and the door was pushed open.
Before he could get in, Chu Qing was stunned.
Tao Ruolin's face was stained with tears.
Seeing Chu Qing looking over, Tao Ruolin still had tears in her eyes, but she showed her signature smile and waved.
"Come up here, what are you doing in a daze?"
Chu Qing got in and was about to sit across from him when Tao Ruolin patted the seat next to her: "Hold me."
"oh."
Sitting next to her, Tao Ruolin suddenly buried her head in Chu Qing's arms. Her tears were like bursting from a dam, instantly wetting Chu Qing's front.
"You are my pride, my lifelong pride..."
Tao Ruolin said these words in tears, continuing to shed tears, continue to be reluctant to let go, and continue to be sad.
After crying for a long time, Tao Ruolin raised her head, her beautiful face already blurred by tears.
Raising her head and looking at Chu Qing, Tao Ruolin wiped her tears in panic.
"You have gone far, and there is not much I can do, but you remember, you must remember, when you need me, I will be there forever, remember, Chu Qing, remember Is it over?"
"I remember." Chu Qing nodded vigorously: "I remember."
"No matter where you are in the world, when you need me, a letter, a message, even if you just call my name, I will be there, I will be there as soon as possible, and I will always be there, remember?"
"remember."
Tao Ruolin buried her face in Chu Qing's chest again, shedding tears with reluctance and pain.
Chu Qing hugged Tao Ruolin tightly. He knew that Tao Ruolin was blaming herself.
In the British government, it was Tao Ruolin who agreed to Feng Luo without permission.
Because Tao Ruolin knew that Chu Qing would definitely agree.
