Chapter 23: Long wind thousands of miles to send autumn geese (1)

As the shouting approached, the chief guard also came to the front of the car. I was extremely nervous inside, but I still warned myself again and again-to be calm and calm.
Brother Zhang jumped out of the car and smiled and said, "Wang Duwei, what's the matter?"
Wang Duwei ignored him, walked straight to the back of the car, opened the basket in front of me with a sword in his hand, pointed at me and said, "Bold, who would dare to hide here!"
Brother Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled me out of the carriage. He blushed and smiled carefully and said, "Wang Duwei, it's me who is not good. This kid is the youngest son of a housekeeper. He always makes trouble to enter the palace. I really am Can't hold him back, just..."
"Well, you Zhang Sheng, you dare to bring someone into the palace privately, you know this is to beheaded!" Wang Duwei's eyes widened, and he severely reprimanded Brother Zhang.
I couldn't bear it in my heart. I stepped forward and smiled. "This elder brother, it's the younger brother's fault. I won't dare anymore."
Wang Duwei gave me a hard push, and I stepped back again and again, and the place he pushed me was a bit painful.
"Who do you think you are?! Is this something you can let go of with a single word?" Wang Duwei said that he wanted to step forward again, and then I retreated.
Big Brother Zhang stepped across between me and Duwei Wang, and while talking nice things, he seemed to have stuffed him with something.
Soon, Wang Duwei smiled and said: "This time I will let you go for Zhang Sheng's face, but there is no next time. I want to enter the palace and let your family send you in as an eunuch, hahahaha... "
He laughed arrogantly. I was angry but couldn't do anything. Big Brother Zhang pulled me into the car and quickly left the palace gate.
When I got outside, I let out a long sigh of relief, but I was still feeling upset about what happened before.
Brother Zhang noticed it, and turned his head back and smiled and said: "That's it, nothing. Fortunately, I ran into him today. If someone else is not able to spend money, don't think about it, just come out."
I nodded and looked at the world outside the palace wall-finally came out. Remembering that Big Brother Zhang must have given Du Wei the silver just now, he asked: "Big Brother Zhang, how much did you give Du Wei Wang? I will return it to Hui Ju."
"Not much, not much, nothing." Brother Zhang drove the car and stopped answering.
"I know the dangers in this palace." Brother Zhang suddenly said, "As long as my sister doesn't have any accidents."
I took it naturally, "Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I will take care of Miss Huiju."
Brother Zhang smiled, swung his whip to speed up to catch up with the car in front, and chatted with the coachmen. Sitting in the back of the car, breathing the air from outside the palace, I was joyful looking at the people walking around.
"Little brother, where is your home? I'll take you there?" Big Brother Zhang asked me back.
I paused, "No trouble, my home is at the east gate of the city. Big brother will let me down soon. I want to buy something to bring home."
"Okay, we are going to deliver the car at the official office on Telford Street. Let's let you down when we arrive. It's the center of the city. You have everything you want to buy."
"Thank you, big brother." I looked at the sky, estimated the time, and thought I had to hurry out of town, otherwise I wouldn't be able to send him.
Fortunately, the palace is not far from Telford Street, and it will arrive soon. I thanked Brother Zhang, and hurriedly walked towards Dongchengmen, searching for places to hire horse-drawn carriages along the road. After all, I'm 30 miles from the city, so walking is definitely not possible.
At this time, the sky gradually lights up, and some shops have opened their doors for cleaning.
I walked briskly under my feet, looking around, and finally saw a shop with horse-drawn carriages, and the handyman was cleaning the road in front of the shop. I hurried over and asked if I could hire a carriage right away. Fortunately, the master who drove the car has already arrived. I paid the deposit, hurriedly got into the car, and ordered the coachman to rush to Lao Laoting 30 miles outside the city.
When the carriage was driving on the wide streets of the capital, I leaned weakly on the carriage, thinking what should I say to see him?
He once said that he wanted me to be his concubine, but no matter how deep his brotherhood with the emperor, even if the emperor dislikes me and is willing to give me to him, I cannot become his princess Because I am Ling Xuewei. The woman with this name is Ling Xiang's daughter and a queen appointed by the Queen Mother.
What's more, the side between me and the emperor before was destined that the emperor would not grant me to him, even if I was not Ling Xuewei, but just a lowly court lady.
Thinking of this, I laughed self-deprecatingly, because I would never have imagined such a situation. No, in fact, all of this is already doomed, from the day I met him at Yanboting, it was doomed! I touched the embroidered purse in my arms. The rain that night dampened half of the purse so much that some lines of the pattern were scattered. I removed it when I saw it. Now I have a purse that hasn't been embroidered.
Looking at this purse, I have made up my mind: no matter what, there must be a break today.
I lifted a corner of the small curtain in the car, and I was out of the city. There were rows of weeping willows on both sides of the road, and the soft willow branches swayed gently with the wind blowing. The air was freshness that is not in the palace. I breathed. . I know, maybe, this is the last time I saw the world outside the palace, the last time I looked at the picturesque landscape of Daxi as an ordinary person.
I stretched my hand into my inner robe, held a soft and hard thing, and strengthened my determination.
"Guest officer, here." The carriage stopped, the door curtain was lifted, and the driver looked at me and said.
I nodded and got off the car, Lao Laoting was right in front of me, built by the water, a little distance from the road. I stuffed a little bit of silver to the coachman, "Big Brother, I'm going to wait for someone here, and I have to go back later, so please walk around and pick me up in two hours."
The coachman accepted the money and said, "No problem, I will come here to pick you up in two hours." After that, he drove away.
I watched the carriage drive far away, then went to sit down in the laboring booth, and waited for him to pass by.
The sound of horseshoes came through in the distance, and it was obvious that a brigade was about to pass by. I looked up at the brightened sky, guessing in my heart that his army should pass by here.
He got up and tidyed up his clothes, which was the same man's outfit that he had put on earlier. I took out a piccolo, facing the slowly flowing river in front of the pavilion, and played the song "Flowing Water Floating Lantern".
I heard the sound of horses' hoofs standing still not far from me, and soon they rang away. I feel that someone is looking at me, and that gaze penetrates my heart. I didn't stop, still blowing. I know, he is here.
"Is that you?" The familiar voice sounded, and I turned around. He was wearing gold silk soft armor, holding the helmet in his hand, and looked at me in surprise and surprise, his tone full of disbelief.
I smiled and blessed my body, "Master."
He stepped forward, reaching out to pull me, but restrained, standing very close to me, just smiling but saying nothing.
I saw that the brigade on the road not far away had already moved ahead, but there were a few lieutenants who stood still, waiting for their leader. I retracted my gaze, knowing that I could not drag it any further, took out the purse from my clothes and handed it to him.
"Time is tight, so the embroidery will not be finished." I don't know how to say the following words.
He took it and looked at it carefully, "It's good, it's good." Without asking why I gave him the purse before finishing the embroidery.
I rubbed my hands, thinking about how to say the words that have tortured me for a long time.
"Lord." I just started to tell him my identity, telling him that we will never be possible between us, and ask him to forget me and my words.
He suddenly hugged me, and I could feel his arm trying to force but enduring it. My heart beats faster, this is not allowed! Just about to break free, he first withdrew his hand.
"I..." He seemed to want to say something about the previous move, and after a while he flushed and smiled embarrassedly, "Offended."
I shook my head, my heart beating fast and messy.
He coughed lightly, seeming to want to cover up the embarrassment at this moment, "What did you just want to say to me?" He looked straight at me with clear eyes.
I see his expression is full of expectation, and I suddenly lost the courage to say everything.
"No, nothing." I said flusteredly, "It's getting late, and there are still people waiting for you, so hurry up." I stopped and said, "I wish you every success."
At this time, my words became very pale, my brain was blank, and I couldn't think of any gorgeous rhetoric.
He nodded, turned to leave, stopped looking at me, and said slowly but forcefully: "When the emperor sent me this morning, I promised him that he will return home in half a year. Now I promise you, four months, wait I will return victorious for four months."
I looked at his spirited look, and I couldn't bear to say something like that in my heart. I smiled and said, "I'm waiting for the good news from the prince." He nodded at me promised, like the morning light.
I went down and said, "Wang Ye go well."
He walked quickly onto the main road. Leaping on the horse coolly, with a "driving" sound, Liangju galloped up, followed by those waiting for him. I saw him rein in his horse a little and turned his head and smiled at where I was, and then slashed away.
I took out the piccolo and played it. It was still the song "Flowing Water Floating Lantern"...
Four months? The "half a year" he said to the emperor before might already require his best efforts. The four months he has promised me now is how fiercer the fight and the more dangerous situation can be exchanged.
I felt regretful in my heart, I should say "it doesn't matter" at the time. What's more, when he comes back, I can't promise him the rest of my life. However, it is too late now.
The hired carriage had appeared in the sight from afar, and his heart immediately became uneasy.
The problem I face is not yet Wang Yu, but how to return to the palace safely.
