Chapter 72
In March in western Liaoning, the wilderness was still covered with thin snow, with black stones exposed and a single tone, which did not match the March scenery in Gongsun Yan's impression.
After leaving Xiangguan and walking for three days, it was not until today that Gongsun Yan finally saw traces of human activity on the side of the road.
Looking in the distance, some villages appeared faintly on the ridge.
There are also some large forts.
During times of war, the common people in the countryside would huddle together for warmth and spontaneously gather together as clan units.
Build high walls and watchtowers, and live and produce spontaneously in the fort.
There is a very complete living space in the Wubao, almost like a small castle.
The high and thick rammed earth city wall, with tall arrow towers built at the four corners, shows that this kind of grassroots armed force in the North is full of martial virtue.
Gongsun Yan also saw people moving on the watchtower. It seemed that he saw their long queue from a distance, which caused a commotion.
Several people climbed up to the watchtower and looked at their team.
The distance was too far and Gongsun Yan couldn't see what they were looking at or saying, but it didn't stop her from looking back with interest through the car window.
As the saying goes, you look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery look at you on the bridge.
In this era, entertainment options were very scarce, and civilians were very keen to watch the excitement.
The people in the Wubao were pointing to the snake-like team in the distance, guessing why and where such a movement of hundreds of cavalry came from.
Gongsun Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, was also looking at them.
She opened her eyes curiously and carefully observed these small, dusty rammed earth castles.
She had once seen the small pottery building of Wubao from the Han Dynasty collected in the museum. When such an enlarged object appeared in front of her, she felt a little dazed and sighed for a moment.
She seemed to see traces of time flowing before her eyes.
Zhao Yun, who was accompanying the parallel car, noticed Gongsun Yan's expression, and he also took a look at the fortress in the distance.
It doesn't seem to be anything special, why do you have to look like that?
Before he could think about it, Gongsun Yan's eyes had already shifted to him.
It was also a bit dazed and emotional, but there was something more.
Zhao Yun coughed lightly and looked away unnaturally.
Xia Houlan once complained to him that Mrs. Gongsun's character was not right and a little bad.
He used to think that Zixiu was exaggerating.
Only now can I feel how bad this lady is.
Ever since he ran away last time, she seemed to have found some fun in it. She would stare at him with those beautiful eyes from time to time, and her half-smiling expression often made him feel embarrassed.
Just like now, those clear amber eyes seemed to be filled with honey, and when they looked at him, it was like...
Zhao Yun's heart skipped a beat, he slowed down his horse, fell behind the two cars, and avoided Gongsun Yan's eyes.
"Tsk." Gongsun Yan, who was in the car together, didn't seem to notice the trouble he caused.
Zhao Yun's tall figure and Shen Yi's angular profile were no longer within her sight, and she flicked her tongue dissatisfied.
Run away again!
This scene fell into the eyes of the maids A Qing and Alan who were riding in the parallel car.
Ah Qing looked confused and didn't react much. He continued to play with Gongsun Cheng.
She is not too old, has a simple temper, and is very willing to give in to please, so she can play with Gongsun Cheng as a playmate.
Alan lowered his head and chuckled silently.
"Why are Alan laughing?" Alan is slightly older than Ah Qiang, more docile and sensible, but in Gongsun Yan's eyes, he is still only a high school student.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Gongsun Yan got along very well with the two maids, and they became much more casual with each other.
Especially after leaving Gongsunda's house and out of the state of living as a guest, she no longer needs to follow too many rules, and her words and deeds are even more relaxed and casual.
"Nothing." Alan lowered his head and refused to answer, but there was still an unstoppable smile on his face.
Just when Gongsun Yan was about to ask and tease him a few words.
Zhao Yun, who had just escaped, returned to the car window.
"Madam, brother General Gongsun, and Liaoxi Prefect Gongsun Jing are waiting in front to greet you." At this time, his expression and voice had returned to normal, and he no longer had the embarrassment of running away.
Gongsun Jing...
The relaxed smile on Gongsun Yan's face faded unconsciously. Judging from the current clues, if her grandfather Gongsun Jing may not be a good person, then her uncle is definitely a bad guy.
She sighed helplessly and looked at Zhao Yun.
Otherwise, ask Zilong to secretly shoot him to death, so as not to have to fight with these weird relatives.
Seeing her looking over with a worried look on her face, Zhao Yun could still see her impatience even though he didn't hear what she was thinking.
Zhao Yun was helpless about this, after all, it was a family matter and elder of the Gongsun family.
He knew that no matter how impatient Gongsun Yan was, he would never really break up with the family at this moment, he was just playing a petty temper.
"Prefect Gongsun went out thirty miles from the city to greet him, and his attitude was quite low. It would be best for the lady to go as soon as possible."
So what if she has a low profile? Can she compensate for the hundreds of lives lost in Yangqiuli, or can she bring back the 41 soldiers who died on the battlefield?
Can such a blood debt be repaid with a low profile?
Gongsun Yan pursed his lips and said nothing, his expression gloomy.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun could only lower his voice and said to her: "Madam, don't think too much for now, I will go with you eventually, okay?"
Taking a breath, Gongsun Yan felt as if he had swallowed a cockroach alive. Not only could he not spit it out, he had to shut up and swallow it.
But fortunately, she is not a real little lady. When she should grit her teeth and endure it, she can still endure it.
After doing some psychological construction for herself, she asked Alan Aqing to bring the bronze mirror makeup kit that came with the car and help her freshen up and tidy up her appearance.
He also gave Gongsun Chenghuan a small coat with a layer of linen sewn on the outside.
During this time, Gongsun Yan's driver had already reached the barrier where Gongsun Jing was waiting.
"I'm sorry for my brother, I'm sorry for my brother, I'm so sad and sad."
Gongsunyan rubbed the corners of her eyes while sitting in the parallel car. As soon as Alan raised the curtain of the parallel car, she heard a burst of mourning.
Gongsun Yan paused in his steps and looked at the team in front of him, all wearing sackcloth and mourning, and the middle-aged man in front of him who was crying until he beat his chest and couldn't help himself. The expression on his face was almost unbearable for a moment.
Zhao Yun, who was walking aside, got off his horse and followed on foot.
Seeing her pause, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he asked someone to get the small stool for getting off the bus, and raised his hand so that she could put her arm on his and get off.
Gongsun Yan clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves and gritted his teeth.
To others, Yangqiuli may be just a place name, but to Gongsun Yan, Yangqiuli has a different meaning.
For the first time, she felt connected to the world.
However, he was slaughtered and ruined just like that.
People in this era have become numb to death and loss, but she is not. She truly cries for every victim.
Aduna was indeed the direct murderer, but so was everyone who indulged him.
