Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 327 Return to Hometown
In Yanjing City, at midnight, the night was as dark as ink.

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, there was no one inhabited, and it was completely silent.

The little soldier guarding the city gate yawned No.30 six times, and finally couldn't help it. He wanted to sleep with his head tilted for a while, but was woken up by the older man next to him, "I can't sleep. Once someone sees you, your position will be gone!"

"Ah..." The little soldier was taken aback, and rubbed his eyes in dissatisfaction and muttered, "It's the middle of the night, and there's no one around, who can see it."

Before the words fell, a sound of horseshoes sounded not far away.

The two defenders of the city were taken aback, and quickly cheered up to see who it was by the candlelight at the gate of the city.

After about a dozen or so breaths, a row of four looked very simple, but extraordinarily large carriages stopped at the gate of the city.

"Who is it? The gate of the city is closed in the middle of the night, come back tomorrow if there is something to do." The older man boldly shouted at the carriage.

"It's me." A somewhat deserted voice sounded in the car, and then the curtain was lifted. Gu Qingfan poked his head out, looked at the soldier, and said with a frown, "The general's wife is a little unwell. The folk prescription is because I urgently need to pass through the city gate, and I hope you two will open the city gate quickly."

"It's General Gu..." The younger soldier jumped up happily, "Okay, okay, this is for you."

"General..." The older man patted the younger soldier, turned his head, and said to Gu Qingfan with some embarrassment, "The general has gone to war for the country many times, and the subordinates dare not doubt the general. It's just that in the middle of the night, opening a city gate is really motivating the crowd..."

"Then I'll ask you guys to come over here." Gu Qingfan didn't show any expression on his face, he waved his hand and lowered the curtain.

The two guards at the city gate looked at each other, the younger one turned around and ran to find Shou Zheng, while the other stood in front of the gate and continued to guard the gate.

After a short meeting, the guard of the Xuanwu gate hurried to the front of the carriage, and while bowing to the inside of the carriage, he apologized again and again, "It's these two little ones who are ignorant and stopped the general, and this subordinate will give the general Open the city gate, but it's the middle of the night after all, the city gate is not easy to open, so I can only open the gap between a carriage and hope General Haihan."

"Nothing." Gu Qingfan replied lightly, turned his head, glanced at the four or five people sitting in the carriage, and lowered his head and sighed softly.

Soon, the gate of the city was opened by more than a dozen soldiers with great difficulty. Zhao Long, who was driving outside, let go of the reins, and the horse walked through the gate with ease.

"Do you still need to leave the city gate for the general?" The guard asked loudly when he saw that the carriage was about to go far.

"Leave two people to pass." Gu Qingfan said coldly.

Shouzheng quickly complied, and asked people to close the city gate to only a small opening, and then sent more than a dozen people to guard there.

"It's so strange, it's okay to go out at such a late hour. It's obvious that four carriages are leaving, but only two people are left to pass through the door. Don't they want this carriage?" Shou Zheng watched the four large carriages disappear into the night. , muttered twice for some unknown reason.

Outside Yanjing City, the four carriages stopped before going far.

Gu Qingfan jumped out of the car first, then raised his hand to pick up Bai Wei, then Bai Yunshi, Wu Shi, Bai Chuanbai, and finally Bai Shao.

"It's really cold at night." Bai Wei shivered, held Bai Shao's hand reluctantly, and whispered, "Shao'er, do you have to leave now? At least we have to wait until dawn." , It's really dangerous in the middle of the night."

"It's okay, sister." Bai Shao, who was wearing simple clothes, smiled, "With Zhao Huyuan following and He Xianghan, there is basically no danger."

"But..." Bai Wei choked up as she spoke, "But...we came together at the beginning, how come I was the only one left behind when we left..."

"Where is it? Brother Yun Shi is still here." Bai Shao gave Bai Wei a funny look, "Besides, we are not going to other places, we are just going back to Xieyang County. If you miss us, you can It’s quite simple to go back and have a look and stay for a while.”

"But we still can't see each other every day. Although we have known this day for a long time, it's really hard to come." Bai Wei's eyes were red, he put down Bai Shao's hand, and took Wu's hand again , "Mother... why are you going back, you left me here in Yanjing alone, are you at ease?"

Mrs. Wu smiled slowly, patted Bai Wei on the head, and said softly, "I am relieved that you are here and Qingfan is taking care of you, but I am worried about your sister being alone. Besides, you and I Dad also wants to go back, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and the mother is old, so she doesn't want to leave home."

Bai Wei pursed his lips, put down Wu's hand in some frustration, threw himself into Gu Qingfan's arms, and sobbed softly.

"Okay, after a while, Your Majesty has secured the throne. I will apply for a long-term residence in Guangliang County. I will bring you and my children there. Guangliang County is very close to Anyang County, so you can go back often. .” Gu Qingfan comforted her softly.

Bai Wei smiled through tears, "You are serious."

"Really." Gu Qingfan nodded, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Bai Shao, and seeing her somewhat sad expression, he quickly shut his mouth, not daring to mention anything about that person.

"Shao'er..." Bai Wei also noticed Bai Shao's expression, and said a little unbearably, "Have you really made up your mind? Just leave him like this? Can you do it?"

"Is there anything you can't do?" Bai Shao blinked vigorously to get rid of the moisture in his eyes, and then smiled easily, "There is always a banquet in the world, he and I... Let's just let it happen in the future."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go." Bai Yunshi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took the initiative, "Shao'er, take care of your parents."

"Yes, brother." Bai Shao nodded vigorously, "Alright then, let's go first."

After finishing speaking, he helped Wu Shi and Bai Chuanbai get into the carriage, and he also got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Zhao Long flicked his whip lightly, and the carriage started to move.

Bai Shao lifted the curtain halfway, waved again to Gu Qingfan, Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi who were on the side, and then got into the carriage, breathing a long sigh of relief.

Finally... I left...

"Shao'er..." Mrs. Wu glanced at her expression, and said softly, "If you don't want to give up, you can still go back now, just say you went to Gu's mansion, and you can get things back together. It really won't come back."

"Mother, what are you talking about." Bai Shao smiled, leaning her head on Wu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I just hope that my brother will not be involved in this matter, although I have already left A letter, but I can't figure out his temper now, I just hope he won't tie me back again."

The empress of a country has fled. If this matter comes out, it will really be a big deal.

"Shao'er is not afraid, mother will always protect you." Mrs. Wu stretched out her hand and gently embraced Bai Shao's shoulder, "If he dares to chase after him, mother will fight him hard, and she will never let him take you back. .”

Wu's words made Bai Shao burst into laughter.

Just smiling, her tears fell down again.

Goodbye, Yanjing.

Goodbye, Gu family.

Goodbye, Ash.

Goodbye, my five years.

Among the four carriages that Bai Shao asked Gu Qingfan to buy overnight, the first one accommodated the three members of the Bai family and simple bedding for the night's rest.In the second car sat the two maids who insisted on going back to Xieyang County with Bai Shao, as well as some food and common clothes.

In the third car, there were many things Wu and Bai Chuanbai bought at Gu's house that they were reluctant to throw away, as well as some valuables.

The fourth car contained the Bai Shao that was taken from Kunning Palace, the items full of memories, and the embroidered shoes that Ruan made for her, the headgear specially made for her during the wedding, etc.

Because of limited manpower, only Bai Shao and two court ladies left the palace at that time, so there were not many things that could be taken. As for most of the other dowry items, Bai Shao had all been left to the emperor.

Part of it is to let the emperor offset the treasury, and the other part is to keep it as a thought.

Even so, these things were still packed into a whole carriage, pulled by four horses, and followed closely behind the convoy.

Along the way, Mrs. Wu was somewhat worried whether she would encounter robbers or be robbed of anything.

It wasn't until the horse team entered Xieyang County that Mrs. Wu finally put her heart in her stomach, lifted the small curtain, and looked around seriously.

Five years have passed, Xieyang County doesn't seem to have changed much, the streets are still a little narrow, and the ground is still a little dirty, but the three members of the Bai family feel so comfortable and at ease.

When the carriage finally stopped at the gate of Baifu in Liushan Hutong, Mrs. Wu jumped down and looked at this small mansion that looked extremely shabby compared to Gu's mansion as if in a dream, her eyes suddenly turned red.
