The world is heavy and late

Chapter 109 Farewell
On the fourth day, Xu Zhong packed up the things in the palace.

I am going to say goodbye to my master and younger brother.

Seeing the unexpected disciple in front of him, Xu Ji didn't know how to speak.

At first, he didn't know what they told the emperor that time, but now he saw what he didn't know.

Xu Zhong knelt in front of Xu Ji and said, "It will probably take more than a year for the apprentice to go, and... I don't know if he will come back. I hope the master will take care of himself."

Xu Ji sighed for a long time and said, "Now you can't see your Lu Zajia clearly. Since you have the ability to let the emperor use you, then you have to do this job well. You will let everyone down." His intentions have failed the Holy Grace."

Xu Zhongdao: "Apprentice understands, thanks to Master for teaching, it's just..."

Xu Zhong felt that it was hard to say it, so he said: "I'm just worried about Master's health, Master still needs to rest more, and don't overwork, so as not to relapse the waist injury and leg disease."

Xu Ji looked at the disciple in front of him who seemed to be a little different from before, and sighed, "I'll watch over her. You have to take care of yourself when you're alone. If you don't come back alive, I'm afraid she won't belong to you."

Xu Zhong's eyes were a little red and he said: "The disciple is not filial, he can't serve in front of the master, and he has to pay the master for my heart."

"Let's go, go home early, pack up, it's not easy to travel this far."

Xu Ji closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Xu Zhong knelt down and kowtowed three times before getting up and going out. Xu Li, who was waiting outside, saw his senior brother's eyes were still red.

He said: "Brother, you must come back alive after you go."

Xu Li didn't understand why his senior brother was going there, he just thought that his senior brother also wanted to be promoted, but he thought it was too dangerous for his senior brother to do so.

But he knew that it was his senior brother, and even Xia Qing had painstakingly begged for it. He didn't understand, but he knew that he couldn't change it.

Xu Zhong looked at this simple and honest young man in front of him, for the first time in front of him he didn't have a sullen face, and smiled and said: "You have to do your job well and take good care of the master, do you understand?"

Xu Li nodded, Xu Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "If you encounter any difficulties in the harem, and the master can't help you, you can go to Xia Qing to ask her for help, she will be happy."

Xu Li was a little puzzled and asked her for help?Shouldn't he look after her himself?
Xu Li's mind is too shallow, and he can see through it at a glance in front of people like Xu Zhong. He said: "Nowadays in the harem, she is very effective in speaking, and can catch up with the master, especially the female officials. Don't underestimate her." For her, if it is really a major event, it is better to tell her to know, after all, any major event in the palace will always involve her."

Xu Li nodded blankly.

Xu Zhong didn't bid farewell to more people, but after looking at the things on the case for a while, he was going to go to Weiyang Palace, and was going to see her one last time.

Although I said goodbye a few days ago, I still want to see you.

But Xu Zhong didn't expect that he might not see him for the last time.

He stood at the door and asked Qiao Huan, "Do you know where she went?"

Thinking of Xia Qing's confession in the morning, Qiao Huan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but my aunt said that I'm afraid I'm coming back very late today."

Xu Zhong felt a little disappointed. He looked at Xia Qing's room door, stood there a little lonely and waited for a while. Seeing that Xia Qing hadn't come back, he turned around and left slowly by himself.

Thinking about what happened in the morning, Qiao Huan bowed to Xu Zhong and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Xu. I hope your trip will go well and you will return soon. We will be close to my aunt every year."

Xu Zhong nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Unexpectedly, just after Xu Zhong took a few steps, Xiang Cang quickly rushed over and said: "The imperial concubine knows that the lord is coming, and wants to see the lord."

Xu Zhong let Xiang Cang lead the way without much surprise, and Xiang Cang looked a bit out of place in front, but when he saw Xu Zhong beside him, he still twitched his lips and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhong thought that Xiang Cang was congratulating him on being appointed an imperial envoy, and said indifferently, "Thank you, Eunuch Xiang."

Seeing that Xu Zhong didn't understand clearly, Xiang Cang didn't say much.

Gu Weiyun rubbed his stomach, and when he saw Xu Zhong approaching, he sighed in his heart, thinking that he and Xia Qing were really a trick of fate, they were obviously two such outstanding people.

She watched Xu Zhong salute herself, and got up to help Xu Zhong up herself. Xu Zhong looked at Gu Weiyun's stomach, and didn't dare to refuse at all. He straightened up by himself, and looked at Gu Weiyun with fair eyes.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Weiyun saw his first sentence, he also smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhong hesitated, but still bowed and said, "Thank you, Ma'am."

Gu Weiyun didn't say much, but someone sent a tray up, she said: "I was just promoted, Xia Qing gave me a gourd pendant, and today I will give you two jade hairpins, I wish you two hair as husband and wife , there is no doubt about love and love, and I wish you a safe and triumphant return."

Xu Zhong looked at the imperial concubine in shock. She said just now:...the marriage is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about their love and affection?

Gu Weiyun said: "Go, she is waiting for you."

Thinking of the congratulations he heard along the way, Xu Zhong's throat heaved several times, and it took him a long time to say in a hoarse voice, "I will take my leave."

After speaking, he lifted the tray next to him and backed out. He didn't say hello to anyone along the way, and he just left the palace and walked towards his own yard.

When Xu Zhong came home, he saw two people standing at his door with bewildered expressions to welcome him.

He got out of the carriage following Anping's instructions, and asked the servant who drove the carriage to go back by himself.

He looked up into the door, but found no one, but he saw Cheng Dalang, who he had rescued, looking at him with a confused and strange expression.

He asked, "Where is Miss Xia Qing?"

Anping seldom sees Xia Qing, but such a special court lady is someone her master puts on top of her heart, so she should remember it anyway.

And... today...

Thinking of what, Anping glanced at Xu Zhong cautiously, and then said: "Miss Xia Qing is waiting for you in the room, sir, what do you want to arrange."

Or... prepare something?
At this moment, Cheng Dalang seemed to have recovered from his astonishment, and hurried forward to salute, "I have seen you, Master."

After finishing speaking, he carefully glanced at Xu Zhong, and said in a low voice: "Master, what do you want me to buy?"

The voice was very low, if the three of them were not standing very close now, even Xu Zhong might not be able to hear them.

His mind is still blank, and he feels soft even when stepping on the ground. He feels that he can't breathe. Is it really what he thinks?

But these two...

He glanced at the two of them, and saw that they shrank their necks before walking inside.

Anping and Cheng Dalang watched Xu Zhong go inside, looked at each other and bowed, "Congratulations, master."

As soon as Xu Zhong's footsteps stopped, he now felt unable to describe his mood, excitement, sadness, anticipation, fear...

He stopped in his tracks, saw his closed door, pursed his lips, and dared not go in.

Xu Zhong closed his eyes: "You guys go down. Pack up and leave tomorrow. It should be a long time since I haven't returned. I forgot something."

Cheng Dalang still wanted to talk, but Anping pulled him, and the two entered from the side, but stopped talking.

Let the master be quiet for a while, he knows that the master can't make a decision at this time.
