The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 12: Birthday Present

The sun is shining and the dew is falling from the sky in the early morning. The outskirts of Chang'an City are continuous stretches of wild grass and green land, which are shining brightly under the refraction of the rising sun, and are extraordinarily crystal clear.

With the sound of trampling horseshoes hitting the ground, a group of heroic cavalry appeared on the post road in the outer suburbs. The horses galloped and their robes fluttered. As the smoke and dust curled up, more than a dozen cavalry rode straight to the entrance of the city gate.

"Where did that team of armored and helmeted cavalry come from? They look really mighty, what a mighty army."

Looking at the cavalrymen leaving Juechen in amazement, the old farmer couldn't help turning around and asking his companions behind him.

A young man who seemed to be very clever, he was not very clear about the old farmer's question, he stroked the sparse green beard on his chin, and thought for a moment:

"Look at a group of cavalry just now. They are fierce and have a sharp murderous look. This is the aura of veterans who have come down from the battlefield. In addition, the Zhangba long lance on the saddle is a unique weapon of the Shuofang army... "

The young man nodded thoughtfully, confirmed his guess, and continued, "Eight out of ten, nine are Shuofang's elite cavalry under the command of Marshal Guo Ziyi."

"It makes sense, well, only Marshal Guo can train such brave and fearless Shuofang soldiers, it seems that they are the ones."

Immediately, the old farmer nodded in agreement, expressing his approval of the young man's analysis.

. . .

"Ah Fu, the young master is going back to the Guo Mansion. He is expected to come back in two or three days. He is going to visit his mother. You don't need to accompany me, so stay at the Princess Mansion. Don't forget to take care of the daily meals of Brother Luo and Brother Pu."

It was the first day of the new year, Guo Nuan deliberately got up early in the morning, after a hasty wash, she packed up her clothes and prepared to go back to Guo's mansion to visit her mother, Mrs. Wang.

Although Mrs. Wang is not Guo Nuan's biological mother, after spending half a month with Mrs. Wang in the Guo Mansion, Mrs. Wang felt her deep maternal love for her all the time. Now she leaves Guo Nuan. , I have lived in Princess Shengping's mansion for half a month. When Guo Nuan left Guo's mansion, she promised to go home on the first day of this month to pay her respects. Now the day has come.

Guo Nuan drove lightly into the carriage, ordered Ah Fu to do some trivial things, and then set off in the direction of the Guo Mansion in the city.

With Ah Fu leading the way last time, Guo Nuan returned to Guo Mansion after spending more than an hour with ease.

"Ah, it's the young master who is back. Hurry up and let the lady know!"

Guo Nuan just yelled and slowly stopped the carriage, and was immediately spotted by the sharp-eyed doorman standing guard at the gate of the Guo Mansion. The man immediately yelled with joy, and rushed into the mansion to inform other people in the Guo Mansion.

"It's better to be your own home!"

Guo Nuan fastened the horse, and then jumped down lightly. Seeing the happy and sincere faces of the servants of Guo's mansion, compared with the disparity in the treatment in the princess's mansion, she couldn't help feeling much happier.

Stumbling all the way, before entering the gate of the mansion, Guo Nuan saw the tearful Wang family hurriedly greeted by a group of servants:

"Nuan'er, you're back!"

Immediately, Mrs. Wang rushed to Guo Nuan who was giggling, and the woman happily wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, unable to speak for a while.

"Mother, the child is not filial. It took me so long to come back to visit you."

Seeing this scene at this time, Guo Nuan also touched her heart. The Wang family in front of her is so similar to her biological mother who is still living in the 21st century. Although the appearance is completely different, Guo Nuan has already deeply felt the sincerity and profoundness. maternal love.

"Mother, I haven't seen you these days, you are thinner and suffering."

Gently hugging Mrs. Wang, Guo Nuan felt the emaciation of her mother's shoulders, and couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

I died of a sudden illness, and my mother and father sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man. It must be very sad. Do you still miss your unfilial son from time to time over there?

Guo Nuan was in a trance, his thoughts were reincarnated, and he was touched by the scene for a while. He missed his parents in the 21st century. A kind of sad mood slowly brewed in his heart. Zhu Youyou let out a long sigh.

"Silly boy, why are you crying? Isn't mother in front of you?"

Looking at Guo Nuan who was crying silently suddenly, Wang couldn't help but smiled lovingly, and held up a handkerchief to wipe away Guo Nuan's tears.

"Hehe, the baby is fine, it's just that I was so happy to see my mother that I couldn't help crying for a while."

Guo Nuan said with a faint smile, her expression was very leisurely and flat, as if nothing happened, "Mother, don't hang around here, let's go into the mansion."

Immediately, Guo Nuan and Mrs. Wang entered the palace lively, surrounded by a large group of servants.The originally cold Guo Mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere for a while.

Entering the atrium, Wang seems to have suddenly remembered an important matter, slapped his forehead and said with a laugh:

"By the way, Nuan'er, your father sent a team of soldiers in Shuofang. They just arrived at the palace this morning. Come, mother, let me introduce you."

"Oh, my father sent someone back to Chang'an, who are they?"

"Look at it and you'll know." Guo's mother had a mysterious face, and she stopped talking, and took her son's hand to the private martial arts training ground of Guo's residence.

"Hey, what a majestic troop of cavalry!" Guo Nuan couldn't help admiring.

As soon as he stepped into the school grounds, what caught Guo Nuan's eyes was the cavalrymen who were arranging their armor and equipment in the field. Every move, every gesture, no doubt shone with the unique uprightness of soldiers.

"The last general, Li Meng, pays his respects to the mistress, young master."

A strong middle-aged man in a silver-white delicate chain mail led [-] cavalrymen, and they were lined up with their hands behind their backs. Then they kowtowed to Guo Nuan's mother and son.

"Nuan'er, this is Shuofang's personal guard assigned by your father." Mother Guo waved back the cavalry with a smile on her face at this time, letting them disband and move freely.

Guo Nuan seemed to ignore the meaning of Wang's words, she couldn't help being taken aback, subconsciously pointed at them with her finger, and said stupidly: "These soldiers are father's personal guards? They are really impressive."

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands, and then a servant beside her brought a tray covered with a red cloth.

"By the way, this is a gift from your father specially from the border for your 21st birthday."

"Oh, today is my birthday..." Guo Nuan was a little caught off guard. He didn't expect to have a special commemoration for him today.

Lifting off the red curtain, a narrow saber with silver and white rhinoceros pattern all over the body was reflected on Guo Nuan's somewhat dull face at this time, and the blade of the sword looked radiant under the dazzling sunlight.

Guo Nuan's hands trembled for a while, and under Guo's mother's encouraging eyes, she slowly took the saber from the tray. The moment the spine of the knife touched the skin of her fingers, Guo Nuan felt a sense of kindness in her heart.
