That night he slept in a daze. Crescent Moon's sad and beautiful face constantly flashed before his eyes, making him feel suffocated. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his eyes. Outside the window, the moonlight was cold and the sky was filled with stars. It was almost five in the night.
He could hear the neighing of the horses, the laughter of the soldiers, and the sound of the wheels pulling the provisions. The camp was brightly lit, and everyone was busy and happy. In the expectation of countless relatives, the army was finally going to return to the capital.
Putting away the brocade robe and the golden blade that Yu Jia had given him, looking at the straw doll that she had carefully woven, he could not help but smile. The little things that he did not care about in the past, even the battle of wits and courage, had now become beautiful memories.
"General!" Seeing him striding over, Hu Bugui and the others hurriedly cupped their fists, their voices choked with emotion.
Du Xiuyuan, Xu Zhen, Hu Bugui and the others were going to command the army to guard the Helan Mountains to ensure deterrence against the Hu people. Handing this heavy responsibility to them, on the one hand, was to promote his old brothers, on the other hand, was because Yu Jia was not unfamiliar with these people and would not reject them too much.
With the imminent separation of life and death brothers, it was difficult to express the sorrow. Old Hu said with tears in his eyes, "General, please rest assured, we will definitely do what you have asked us to do!"
Du Xiuyuan also sighed silently, "The mountain is high and the road is long, I just don't know when I can see General again!"
The people in front of him were all old friends of Lin Wanrong when he made his fortune in Shandong. Seeing them become famous generals of China, he was both happy and emotional. He could not say a word for a long time.
Gao Qiu blinked mysteriously. She giggled and said, "When will we meet? I think it will be very soon! Don't forget. This Helan Mountains is the only way to the Turkic Royal Court! In Kizil, there are people looking forward to seeing Brother Lin every day. Tell me, how can he not pass through here?! "
Brother Lin blushed. Old Hu and the others burst into laughter. Suddenly the sorrow in their hearts was washed away by a lot.
The sky gradually brightened. The vanguard of the army had already set off. Miss Xu slowly walked over. She said softly, "It's getting late, it's time to move!"
Lin Wanrong nodded softly. He slowly cupped his fists towards everyone. He silently turned his head and looked into the distance. The sandstorm blinded his eyes. He could not see the blue sky or the grassland. In a blur. But he seemed to see a beautiful figure. Gazing at him tenderly …
…
"Sal wood. How old are you? "
"Trying to get information out of me? Sister said that we must keep our mouths shut about the secrets of the prairie! "
"En. I agree with your idea! Then when did you celebrate your fifth birthday? "
"Last year!"
…
"What color does the Great Khan like?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"What color does she hate?"
"Except for red and yellow. I hate the rest! "
…
"Was the tanghulu yesterday delicious?"
"Delicious!"
"Then you will recite two ancient poems today. I'll give you another one! "
"No! Yesterday, he had exchanged a poem for a string of them! You cannot raise the price! "
…
Gao Qiu followed him all the way. She listened to how Brother Lin abducted the children. His methods were endless and never repeated. She really did not know how he came up with it.
But Brother Lin was also extremely patient. He was with Sal wood every day, teaching him how to read and recite poems. Sometimes, he even rode horses and shot arrows with him, having a great time. After more than ten days, the Little Khan was really getting friendlier to him day by day.
Everyone in the army was eager to return home. The horses galloped and galloped all the way. They were getting closer and closer to Capital City. Lin Wanrong actually felt a little happy and panicked. Five months had passed since they left. Spring passed and autumn returned. What was going on at home? What were the Grand Mistress, Ning'er, and Qiaoqiao doing? Counting the days. Qing Xuan was about to give birth. Were they already very busy? Everything should be ready now. They only lacked him as a father!
That was a terrible thought. His thoughts surged like a tide. He wished he could grow wings and fly back to them.
He could not stay for a moment longer. So he simply asked for Li Tai's forgiveness and entrusted Xu Zhiqing to take care of Sa Ermu, while he and Gao Qiu rushed to the capital day and night.
The mountain road was long. Under the stars and the moon. On the morning of the fourth day. The thick city wall finally came into view. Fluttering flags, shining armors, and vermilion city gates. It was as if it appeared in front of him overnight.
Old Gao reined in his panting warhorse. Looking at the people coming and going outside the city gate. He let out a long sigh. His voice trembled as he said, "Brother, we are home!"
Yes. I'm home! His hand holding the reins started to tremble, and his eyes were already watery.
It was really right in front of them. They were no longer in a hurry! They slowly urged the horse forward. They looked at the various pedestrians on the road. Listening to the endless peddling in his ears. The two of them looked like they were watching a monkey show. They widened their eyes and looked around. Even the little things that they had seen a hundred times before were now looking at them again. They were still so novel and extraordinary.
Life and death had passed, and the liveliness and prosperity reappeared. It was as if they were two different worlds. It was a complicated feeling of surprise and surprise. It was hard to understand if one was not in it.
They arrived at the front of the city. The vermilion gate that used to be open was now tightly shut. It was guarded by two teams of soldiers on each side. All the pedestrians passed through the small door on the side!
"This city gate seems to have been repaired!" The two of them led their horses into the city and stared at the thick vermilion gate. There seemed to be new marks on it. Lin Wanrong was startled and slowly reached out to touch it.
The soldiers on the left and right didn't know who he was. He shouted angrily, "How dare you! Is this Victory Gate something that an ordinary person like you can touch?! "
Lin Wanrong made a sound of surprise and said with a smile, "Victory Gate?! We have only been away from Capital City for a few months. Why did they change the name? Also. Why is the gate closed and not letting us pass?! "
The soldier spat and said disdainfully, "Are you an outsider?! You don't even know the Victory Gate! This is the continuous victory of our army against the Hu. The Victory Gate was personally named by the Emperor. The most famous craftsmen in Capital City were invited to renovate it! Only when the warriors who went north to fight against the Hu return. At that time, the Emperor will personally welcome them! You want to leave from here?! In your next life! "
The soldiers looked at him, dusty and disheveled. He wasn't a big shot. They immediately laughed together!
So this was the Victory Gate! Lin Wanrong and Gao Qiu looked at each other and laughed at the same time, "Good, good, this Victory Gate is meaningful and good luck. In the future, our China will win every day! Not bad, not bad! "
The two of them talked. The sound of wheels turning came from the other side. A carriage slowly stopped beside them and a head popped out from the curtain. He looked at his profile. He hesitated for a moment, "Lin San. Is that Lin San?! "
This voice sounded so familiar. He couldn't remember who it was! He quickly turned his head. With just a glance, he was so surprised that his eyes turned red, "Young Master!!"
The Young Cousin was so excited that he got out of the carriage. He didn't take a steady step. He almost fell to the ground, "Lin San, is it really you?! Lin San. I miss you so much! "
"Young Master, I miss you too!" The two of them hugged each other excitedly. Lin San was on the verge of tears. He never thought that the first person he would meet after returning to Capital City would be Guo Wuchang, Young Cousin Guo! He thought of the happy days when the two of them sang the same tune and helped the tiger do evil. What a happy time it was if this wasn't meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
The Young Cousin obviously thought of the same thing and his eyes turned red, "Lin San, since you and my cousin came to Capital City, I haven't been happy! Every day when I go to Myo Yuk Square, I can't help but think of you! "
"Me too!" Lin San nodded happily, "Every time I see people giving you money, I think of how generous you were, Young Master!"
Guo Wuchang took out a silver ingot and shyly handed it to him, "I'm afraid I can't give you money now. This is just ten taels of silver, please accept it!"
"I haven't seen you for a few months, but Young Master is still so humble!" Lin San smiled and skillfully put the silver ingot into his sleeves.
The Young Cousin was shocked. Lin San was willing to accept my money, which meant that he recognized me as a friend! Me and him, we went to prostitutes together. This kind of friendship is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!
He was instantly excited. He looked at him up and down and exclaimed, "I heard that you went to the north to fight. You even captured the Khan of the Hu people?! Although the Hu people were a bit sloppy. But you're already very amazing! You probably don't know, but all the storytellers in the capital are telling stories about you! A few days ago, I went to the Eight Big Alleys. When the girls found out that you were working at my house, they even gave me a 20% discount on the overnight fee! "
Old Gao couldn't help but laugh. This kid was really a sheep. If you didn't mention Lin San's name, they would definitely give you a 50% discount! You mentioned Brother Lin's name. Even the world famous Lin San was working at your house, if I don't kill you, who else would I kill?!
Lin Wanrong laughed, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Young Master's interests are still so wide! I'm just guessing when it comes to fighting. Don't you know me? Oh right, why are you here? How is Madam? "
Guo Wuchang sighed, "Since the beginning of the year, when the house in the capital caught fire, Aunt returned to Jinling in sadness. She also looked a lot more haggard. She was afraid that Cousin didn't have enough manpower, so she sent me, Xiao Feng, and a few others to help her rebuild! For the past half a year, Cousin has been working hard, and our business is getting bigger and bigger. I went to Hebei to discuss business and just came back today. I just happened to meet you! "
Even the Young Cousin could send people to discuss business, so it could be seen that Grand Mistress didn't have enough manpower around her! He was happy to see this Young Cousin Guo. Thinking back to the pure and happy time in Jinling, it was really a warm feeling that permeated from the bones!
"Oh right, Young Master, has the house in the capital been repaired? I haven't had time to enter the city, so I don't know anything! "
"It's been repaired long ago. These few days, they are moving the furniture, I put in a lot of effort!" The Young Cousin said excitedly, "However, it's Cousin Xiao Yuruo who is working hard. When you see her, you will know how haggard she is! Cousin said that she must wait for you to come back, so that the whole family can gather before cutting the ribbon! "
Grand Mistress? He felt sad and happy, "Good, good, when the whole family is gathered, we will cut the ribbon! Young Master, let's go into the city! "
He pulled Guo Wuchang to the side door. The Young Cousin said, "That's not right, Lin San, you have returned from victory, so you should go through the Victory Door! This is exchanged with your life, so you can't be wronged! Wait a minute, I will go and call the door for you! "
Lin Wanrong felt bitter and shook his head slightly. Gao Qiu understood his feelings and said, "Young Master, Brother Lin doesn't want to make it public, so the glory of the Victory Door will be left to the brothers behind! Let's go into the city quietly! "
"Lin San, you are still so low-key!" Guo Wuchang raised his finger and praised.
After entering the city with the Young Cousin, he looked at the bustling crowd on the street and the endless hawkers. There was an indescribable joy in his heart.
The Xiao Residence was on the way home. In the pile of rubble of the past, there stood a brand new courtyard. It was embroidered with green pine trees, red bricks and green tiles, and it was indescribably quiet.
This was the first place he settled after coming to the capital. The past of sharing joys and sorrows with Grand Mistress came to his mind. Lin Wanrong's heart trembled slightly, and his steps became a little messy.
"Put the table here! Put the armchair in the middle! "
"Sande, hang up the plaque first!"
"Xiao Feng, go to the study and take a look. Hang up the pencil that Sister Qiaoqiao prepared for the bad guy. He likes to use it!"
Before he got close, a clear and melodious voice came from afar. When it fell into Lin Wanrong's ears, he suddenly felt an indescribable closeness.
When he got close, he saw a delicate and pretty girl standing in the middle of the central room. Her hands were on her hips, and she was directing people to move the furniture. Looking at her capable and experienced appearance, she already had the demeanor of a master!
After not seeing her for a few months, this girl had really grown up! He laughed mischievously and tiptoed forward. His hands closed her eyes, and he lowered his voice and said strangely, "Guess who I am!"
