Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 156 Departure
From a distance, I saw Gu Lingqing riding a white horse. After seeing Zhao Min approaching, he got off the horse and walked towards him.

Gu Po, who had been waiting outside the carriage, hurried forward when she saw this, and took the burden from Zhao Min: "Give it to the old slave."

Zhao Min felt a little sad, but she didn't refuse, and just let Gu Po take it.

Gu Lingqing looked at the shopkeeper waiting and Tao Zhiyi who came to see her off, and made her own promise: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Zhao Min and Gu Po got into the carriage, Gu Lingqing and Gu Qi were both riding on horseback, Yan Dong was also traveling together this time,
It's hard to guarantee that there will be any accidents on the road. Yan Dong was really worried, so he temporarily handed over the matter at hand to his subordinates, intending to escort the two of them halfway and then return.

After Zhao Min got into the carriage, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the shopkeeper waiting and Tao Zhiyi, and waved to them with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

"Let's go!" Gu Lingqing gave an order, and the group began to set off in the direction of the imperial city.

At the beginning of the journey, Zhao Min's mood was not very high, his future was unknown, and he didn't know whether his decision was correct or not.

But Gu Po thought differently in her mind, this Zhao Min could be regarded as a child she had been with for a while, knowing her usual temperament, she would not change much if she lost her memory.

Thinking of the multiple rules in the imperial city, Gu Po was really worried that Zhao Min would not be able to bear so many complicated rules.

It seems that after arriving in the imperial city, Zhao Min must first be taught etiquette. She is not required to be very thoughtful in everything, but only to make no mistakes and not be picked on by nobles.

In the imperial city at this time, in the prince's mansion.

"His Royal Highness, the group of them must have set off from Liangcheng by now, do you want to?" Shen Yangbei's face flashed a gloomy look.

Gu Zixing didn't have as much thought as he did. Before he left, Gu Qi even made a fool of himself. It took nearly half a year for him to regain his father's favor. Gu Zixing didn't dare to take risks at this juncture.

The point is, not only Gu Lingqing, but also Gu Qi will come back together on this trip, if the assassin accidentally hurts Gu Qi during the assassination of Gu Lingqing.

That father must have doubted himself first, and then he really put himself in a passive situation.

"No, wait until they return to the city to make plans."

"Yes." Shenyang Bei agreed, but there was dissatisfaction in his lowered eyes.

"It's really indecisive and unreasonable."

Rou'er, the concubine who was most favored by Shenyang Bei recently, heard that he walked into her room so angrily, immediately stepped forward, poured a cup of tea on the table, and handed it to Shenyang Bei's mouth.

"Master, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

After Shenyang Bei took the tea and drank it down in one gulp, Rou'er was behind him, gently pinching his shoulder with her catkin.

After drinking the tea, Shenyang Bei became more and more angry as he thought about it, and threw the teacup on the ground. In an instant, the teacup fell apart,

The little concubine whose shoulders were pinched by Shenyang behind her was startled, and immediately knelt down: "Master, please forgive me."

It was only then that Shenyang Bei realized that he had frightened her a little, and immediately stood up and helped her up: "Rou'er don't need to be afraid, I'm not angry with you."

With the support of Shenyang Bei, Rou'er stood up, and gently wiped the tears that she squeezed out of the fright with her own hand: "Master is good or bad, he scared the slaves to death."

This kind of tenderness made Shenyang Bei feel very guilty when he heard it.

Immediately sat down on the chair and hugged her into his arms: "This poor little girl makes my heart ache to death."

Only then did Rou'er smile through her tears, and lightly thumped Shen Yang Bei's chest: "Master will make fun of slaves."

After Rou'er and Shenyang Bei adjusted their feelings for a while, she restrained her thoughts and gently stroked Shen Yangbei's chest: "What happened to the master just now? Why are you so angry?"

Shenyang Bei was also short of breath just now, and when he came in, he just complained a few words, and it's not like he didn't have a clue, so how could he tell Rou'er that he was arranging His Royal Highness behind the scenes?Immediately, he lowered his face: "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't."

Rou'er looked terrified: "Master, please forgive me, the slaves are just concerned about the master, there is absolutely no other meaning."

Shen Yangbei also realized that he was a little serious just now, and immediately patted Rou'er's hand: "Rou'er, don't be afraid, I have no other intentions."

Just thinking of Gu Zixing, Shenyang Bei had some other meanings in his eyes.

After Gu Lingqing walked together for two days, Zhao Min looked at the familiar road and thought of Wang Dashan.

That night, when everyone was sleeping in the mountains, Zhao Min sat down beside Gu Lingqing: "I want to visit an old friend tomorrow."

Gu Lingqing looked at her profile: "Is it the hunter who saved you?"

Zhao Min nodded: "Yeah, Big Brother Wang treated me very well. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet him after I go to the imperial city. After all, I want to see him."

Gu Lingqing immediately agreed: "Okay, I will accompany you tomorrow."

The next day, just after noon, Zhao Min took everyone to the foot of the mountain where Wang Dashan lived, and the group went to Wangjia Village to have a rest and eat some food.

Gu Lingqing and Zhao Min stood up, and Gu Qi leaned forward upon seeing this: "Brother, where are you going?"

Zhao Min answered first, and after briefly telling him about the situation, Gu Qi nodded: "Go early and come back early."

Just after the two left, Yan Dong also came out with them.

Gu Lingqing looked at Yan Dong who was following behind her, and Yan Dong noticed that he was looking at her, and said, "Don't worry about my humble position, my lord."

Gu Lingqing knew his temperament, and he didn't want to meet some shameful things, so he let him go.

A group of three people, led by Zhao Min, walked up the mountain, and after a while, they saw a small wooden house in the forest.
A flash of joy flashed in Zhao Min's heart, and he quickened his pace, but when he entered, he found that there was no one inside.

A look of disappointment flashed across Zhao Min's face: "Brother Wang must have gone hunting in the mountains, let's wait here."

But after waiting for nearly half an hour, no one came back. Gu Lingqing looked at the sky. If he didn't go back and set off, he would not be able to make it to the next foothold before dark, and he might have to sleep in the mountains again tonight.

Zhao Min also knew that there would be no delay in the schedule, so she sighed, found a branch nearby, wrote something on the ground, and planned to leave.
