Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 262 Departure
Gu Lingqing went straight to the courtyard where Zhao Min lived now, gently pushed open the door, and looked at her sleeping soundly on the bed, sitting beside the bed, her eyes full of nostalgia.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her face, but was afraid of waking her up, so he took it back abruptly.

In the end, he couldn't hold back, and leaned down to kiss her gently on the forehead: "Wait for me to come back."

After Gu Lingqing uttered these words in a low voice, she took one last look at Zhao Min before turning around and leaving.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhao Min slowly opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and muttered to himself: "Okay, I will obediently wait for you to come back here."

When Gu Lingqing came out from the gate of the mansion, she was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

I saw Jia Mingyun, dressed as a soldier, standing at the door, obviously waiting for him: "How can you not bring a doctor with you when you lead the army? I have already asked the emperor for orders, and this trip will follow you."

When Gu Lingqing heard that she was about to open her mouth, Jia Mingyun immediately raised her hand: "Hey, there is no need to say thank you between brothers."

Gu Lingqing stepped forward, stretched out her right hand and clenched it into a fist, and slapped him on the shoulder: "I didn't say I want to thank you, but there's a troublemaker on the way, and I'm still worried!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Gu Lingqing and his party walked out of the city in a mighty manner, and [-] troops were waiting outside the city.

Although the sky was not yet bright, there were already many hawkers on the street who came out to do business, which attracted people on the street to look out frequently.

Gu Lingqing went out from the east gate with a blank face, and heard a rush of horseshoes and a woman's cry from behind as soon as she left the gate.

"Wait a minute! Brother Ling Qing! Wait a moment!"

"Woo—" Gu Lingqing stopped and looked back, only to see Wang Zimo and Princess Nine galloping on horseback.

Immediately got off the horse, Jiu Gongzhu and Wang Zimo's horses stopped firmly in front of Gu Lingqing, Gu Lingqing looked at the two and frowned: "Why are you two here?"

Jia Mingyun also got off the horse, walked to the front, looked at the Ninth Princess, and said, "Hey, it's really an anecdote that the Ninth Princess who we are sitting in can get up so early."

"You!" Ninth Princess stared, looking at Jia Mingyun's appearance, as if he had bullied her, her eyes were flushed.

Jia Mingyun panicked at the time: "Hey, hey! What's wrong with you? Don't cry, I didn't do anything to you."

Originally, it was good for Jia Mingyun not to speak, but as soon as these words came out, the nine princesses burst into tears.

Wang Zimo on the side stepped forward and looked at Jia Mingyun reproachfully: "Cousin, Princess Ninth is also a girl after all, how do you talk?"

Jia Mingyun also felt very embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and muttered: "Who knows why her heart is so fragile today?"

Wang Zimo glared at him: "You still say?"

Jia Mingyun shut his mouth tactfully, curled his lips, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Gu Lingqing saw that the two were almost arguing, and immediately stepped forward: "We are leaving, what is the important thing for you to chase after?"

Princess Nine took out two peace talismans from her arms, took one, and walked up to Gu Lingqing and handed it to Gu Lingqing: "This is the peace talisman I obtained at Yunxiao Temple before, brother, it can keep you safe if you bring it with you." .”

After handing the peace talisman in her hand to Gu Lingqing, Princess Nine glared at Jia Mingyun next to her, and threw another peace talisman in her hand to him: "Here, it's for you, just throw it away."

Jia Mingyun looked at the peace talisman in his hand, it seemed to be a little different from Gu Lingqing's: "Ling Qing, why is mine different from yours?"

The Ninth Princess immediately walked up to Jia Mingyun and stopped him from taking the peace talisman from Gu Lingqing's hand: "That's my brother, so it's not the same, who do you think you are?"

Hearing this, Jia Mingyun didn't bother about the difference between the safe talisman in Gu Lingqing's hand and his own. He hung the safe talisman around his waist and said casually, "Thank you."

A suspicious blush rose behind Princess Nine's ears: "Who told you to thank you, it's just a matter of convenience."

Gu Lingqing took the amulet of peace, put it in her arms, and hung it on her waist: "Thank you, sister Jiu, if there is nothing else, we will leave immediately."

Ninth Princess and Wang Zimo stood at the gate of the city, watching the army that was drifting away, Ninth Princess's heart was full of worry and sorrow, and she regretted why she was so rude to Jia Mingyun just now.

Wang Zimo looked at her, patted her on the shoulder, and sighed: "You, you are stubborn."

Princess Jiu curled her lips, but still refused to admit it: "I'm not stubborn, he hates me the most."

Wang Zimo shook his head lightly. Of these two people, one dared not look directly at his own feelings, and the other hadn't noticed the other's feelings for him, and he didn't know when he would be able to see the moonlight when the clouds opened.

Speaking of looking back at Qi, after nearly ten days of wind and rain, he finally arrived at Wangwang City.

At this time, General Chen Guangtian, the coach of Wangcheng, had already received the news and was waiting for Gu Qi outside the city gate.

Cunran drove his carriage to a stable stop outside the city gate. Gu Qi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Although he had been exhausted for more than ten days, he did not look like he was running away in a panic. tolerance.

"The last general has been waiting for His Royal Highness King Qi here for a long time." General Chen knelt down in front of Gu Qi, clasping his fists.

Gu Qi nodded expressionlessly, walked up to him and helped him up: "I have troubled General Chen all these years."

General Chen stood up and stretched out his left hand towards the city: "The general has prepared the banquet and accommodation, and I hope that His Royal Highness King Qi will go to wash up, and the general will welcome you."

Although Gu Qi was already feeling exhausted after driving for more than ten days, the first day of entering the city was a good time to win people's hearts. Naturally, Gu Qi would not leave General Chen and his right-hand assistants alone take a break.

"Please ask General Chen to lead the way. I will tell General Chen about other things in detail later." A smile finally appeared on Gu Qi's face.

General Chen nodded lightly, and led Gu Qi to the place he had arranged.

Although this Wangcheng is not big, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Over the years, Gu Qi and General Chen have exchanged private messages and cultivated an elite army. Moreover, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gu Qi chose this place as his last card. Naturally There is also his reason.

Gu Qi looked at the slowly closing city gate behind him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, no matter who was sent to attack Wangcheng this time, he would be waiting for him.
