The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

At night, on the official road leading to Jingzhou, Lawyer Pei and his group had been traveling for a day and only found a place to settle down on the roadside.

The guards were outside, surrounding the carriage, and the slaves they brought were setting up tents and cooking.

Lawyer Pei and Princess Linhai were sitting by the fire next to the carriage.

"My husband, where are we?" Princess Linhai asked.

"We are already in Hanyin." Lawyer Pei responded absent-mindedly.

The whole day, the speed of travel was not fast.

Lawyer Pei was waiting, waiting for news from Chang'an.

"My husband, someone is coming." The guard came hurriedly: "There are more than a dozen riders."

Experienced guards will listen to the sound of horse hooves through the sound of the ground. In the silence of the night, the sound of more than a dozen riders is still very loud.

"More than a dozen riders, probably people from Chang'an." Lawyer Pei said.

"My husband expected it?" The guard was stunned.

"Husband?" Princess Linhai was also puzzled. How could her husband know that someone would come from Chang'an City?

"I expected it." Lawyer Pei said: "The Pei family, whether it is my father, or other people in the Pei family clan, or those who are usually on good terms with my father, I want them to find a way to get me back to Chang'an City!"

"Jingzhou, what is that place?" Lawyer Pei's deep eyes were still full of madness, and when he heard the guards report that more than a dozen riders were coming here, he couldn't hide his surprise in the madness.

"Could it be that my father found a new way out for you in Chang'an City?" Princess Linhai asked.

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe after returning, the matter will be even bigger, but if more people are involved, others will have to find a way for us if they want to have a good life."

"You, what do you mean?" Princess Linhai was surprised.

Then, she found that her husband's expression now became extremely terrifying.

This was something she had never seen before.

"I will never go to Jingzhou." Lawyer Pei raised his head and looked at Princess Linhai with burning eyes: "Although the Tang Dynasty has completed the great cause of unification, many places in the south are still unstable, including Jingzhou. If I go to Jingzhou, I am just a small official, I have nothing, how can I protect myself?

Just rely on this guard we brought?

Absolutely impossible."

"I must not go to Jingzhou."

Lawyer Pei said firmly.

Even if I die, I will die in Chang'an.

My father has no means to get me back from Jingzhou.

The way of the emperor is obviously no longer feasible. He will not speak for the Pei family. He doesn't even care about his father, so how can he care about himself?

And Princess Linhai, if the emperor loves this daughter, how can he know that Princess Linhai is going to Jingzhou and not make any move?

The emperor has too many children, and a father's love is divided into too many parts. When it comes to each person, it becomes insignificant.

Besides, the love of the emperor for his children is only for the children born to Empress Dou.

"My husband, what's wrong with Jingzhou? We won't be in Jingzhou forever. No matter father or brother, they will not forget us. They will call you back to Chang'an again. Even if not now, I will write to father and brother in two or three years and ask them to let us go back to Chang'an." Princess Linhai said.

"Two or three years? No, no, no, I can't wait that long." Lawyer Pei said, "How can you know what will happen in the next two or three years? Will there be any chaos in Jingzhou? We don't have the ability to protect ourselves. If something happens in Jingzhou, there are mountains and long roads between Chang'an City and Jingzhou. Who will come to help us?"

Lawyer Pei has lived a rich and stable life since he was a child. When he grew up, he was going to get married. He married a princess of the royal family and became a duwei of the imperial son-in-law. He has never suffered.

I originally thought that I would stay in Chang'an City, relying on my status as a lieutenant general, and in the future, under the arrangement of my father and family, I would serve as an official in the court, serve as an official in Chang'an City, and inherit the Pei family.

However, he never thought that one day he would go to a place like Jingzhou to serve as an official.

"Husband, calm down! Things are not without room for maneuver." Princess Linhai comforted: "Sometimes, if you want to do something, you must endure! If you can't endure, how can you accomplish great things?"

"If you want to be an official, you must be an official in Chang'an City. There are talented people in Chang'an City like crucian carp crossing the river. Now it is not the year of Wude. My father will give the Pei family many conveniences for the friendship with my father-in-law, but my brother will not!

If you want to gain a foothold as an official in Chang'an and inherit the Pei family, you must have something to show for it!

Isn't going to Jingzhou also a kind of experience?!"

"What's wrong with Jingzhou? As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, even if there are strong men in the mountains and forests, they will not attack the city, and they will not do anything to us in the city. Why should we be afraid? "

"What about the road?"

"There are guards, servants, and you are the chief of Jingzhou, an official appointed by the court, and I am a princess of the royal family, with a noble status. What kind of strong man dares to ignore these and take our lives? Aren't you afraid that the court will send troops to flatten their mountaintops? "

"Now it's the world of the Tang Dynasty! "

When she said this, Princess Linhai's aura suddenly changed. The pride and aura of a royal princess that she had never shown on weekdays, as well as her generosity and calmness, were fully revealed at this moment.

Even Lawyer Pei was shocked by his wife's aura.

Lawyer Pei's expression began to loosen. He looked at the confident and tenacious Princess Linhai, and his eyes changed from surprise to loneliness, and from loneliness to calmness.

"It's too late, everything is too late."

After Lawyer Pei finished speaking, sixteen riders came to where they were stationed, rode horses, and surrounded them.

"Who are you!" The guards around saw the sixteen riders, quickly stood up and surrounded the carriage behind them, protecting Lawyer Pei and Princess Linhai and others.

Li Wu rode forward, pulled down his black mask, and looked at Princess Linhai and Lawyer Pei with a cold look.

"Li Wu? ! "Princess Linhai was surprised.

She never thought that Li Wu would lead people to intercept them halfway.

"Why is it you? What are you doing here?" Princess Linhai asked.

"Your subject greets Princess Linhai." Li Wu sat on the horse and just bowed to Princess Linhai. Then, he looked at Lawyer Pei with a cold look: "Your subject is here to take the princess and the prince consort back to Chang'an."

At this time, Lawyer Pei did not dare to look directly into Li Wu's eyes. He always felt that Li Wu wanted to kill him.

"Please." Li Wu raised his hand and signaled Lawyer Pei.
