Luo Yang tried his best to suppress his emotions. He was well aware that Ji Yunshu's repeated disregard for him had caused his mood to drop to the lowest point.
There was even a trace of anger in his heart.
In the face of Little Eight's doubts, he really did not know how to express the feelings in his heart, so he simply fell asleep on the car seat. He turned over and said, "I'm fine. I'm tired and want to sleep. Don't disturb me."
"Oh!" Little Eight nodded obediently. Since his questions were futile, he shrunk to the side.
An hour later, Wen Che's carriage was repaired and ready to depart.
Ji Yunshu also boarded the carriage and saw that Luo Yang and Little Eight had already fallen asleep. She quietly sat beside them and didn't disturb them.
The carriage gradually moved forward. Due to the broken wheels, they didn't enter the city until nightfall. At this time, it was already past the time for the gates to close. But now, the gates were wide open and many officials were waiting. It turned out that Wen Che had already sent people into the city to report that Prince Jing An's body would arrive at night.
The emperor had personally ordered the burial of King Jing An's body, so all the civil and military officials attached great importance to it. They had been busy for a long time, and now, the day had finally arrived.
Thus, these officials had been waiting for a long time to welcome them.
In the middle of the night, torches were ablaze and lanterns were carried one after another. It was as if the Qing army had entered the pass.
But even now, there was still no movement. Many people were craning their necks to look out of the pitch-black city gates.
They were anxiously waiting!
These officials all had illustrious positions in the imperial court. Among them were the Minister of Taichang Temple, Lord He He, the Minister of Rites, Lord Zhu, the Assistant Minister of Works, Cai Changkang, and Grand Tutor Yi An.
There was also the Huaihua General Wen.
He and Grand Tutor Yi stood at the front.
Grand Tutor Yi was an old man with grizzled hair. He turned to Old General Wen and asked, "Why aren't they here yet?"
Old General Wen had been on the battlefield for many years after all. His attire was worn by him and gave off the feeling of armor. His posture was straight, his expression cold and arrogant. His pair of eagle-like eyes stared fixedly outside the city and said, "It should be soon."
"It's been four months since he went back and forth. Did something happen along the way?"
"Don't worry, Grand Tutor Yi."
"It's not that I'm worried, but His Majesty is."
"If there really is something, my son will enter the palace tomorrow to report to His Majesty."
Grand Tutor Yi was rendered speechless and could only give up.
In the end, Old General Wen was a military general while Grand Tutor Yi was a civil official. No matter how high his rank was, no matter how much the Emperor valued him, in the end, he still could not match Old General Wen's position in the court and the tens of thousands of troops and horses in his hands.
Therefore, he was naturally at a disadvantage!
The two of them chatted softly in front of them, but the people behind them did not hear them. Everyone was waiting anxiously.
Not long after, he heard the sound of hooves and wheels rolling over stones.
There was a flash of light in the distance, getting closer and closer …
Someone shouted, "They're here!"
A group of carriages had already arrived at the city gates. Yi Weian, who was riding at the front, was the first to get off the carriage. Many of the officials in the imperial court recognized him, but why would they see him here?
Shouldn't he be in Lingtang Commandery?
Grand Tutor Yi pondered softly, "Why is General Yi here?"
Old General Wen heard but did not reply. His sharp eyes stared fixedly at King Jing An's coffin that was covered by a shed in front of the carriage.
Then, the Wen brothers got off the carriage and walked to the front.
They walked in front of their father and Grand Tutor, cupping their hands in greeting, "Grand Tutor, Father."
Old General Wen replied, "It's good that he is safe and sound."
"There were some delays on the road, but we've finally transported King Jing An's body."
"Mm, you don't need to worry about the rest. Wait until tomorrow morning to see His Majesty."
"Yes!"
The two of them moved to the side, allowing the elite soldiers behind them to come forward and pull King Jing An's coffin in through the city gates.
Then, everyone retreated to the sides and knelt!
Once the coffin was pulled away, the officials followed closely behind.
Wen Che turned to look at the carriage that was still outside the city gates and instructed, "Go make arrangements for Miss Ji and the others. We'll talk after we're done with King Jing An's matter."
"Yes!"
The Wen brothers followed the crowd into the city.
At this moment, Luo Yang was sitting in the carriage, looking at the crowd in front of him. He pondered, "Who are those people? Why are there so many people? They even knelt in front of the coffin. What kind of big shot is in that coffin? So many people came to welcome him! "
Little Ba also stretched his head to look in that direction. He was surprised, "Big Brother, look at them. Some are wearing armor, and some are wearing the same clothes."
Ji Yunshu, who was sitting at the side, calmly said, "Those are official robes!"
Luo Yang's eyes widened. "Official robes?"
"What? You don't even recognize official robes? "
"Of course I recognize them!" Luo Yang took a closer look and confirmed that they were indeed official robes. He smiled. "So, the Wen surnamed Wen is also an official? Haha, so he really is a big shot! "
Ji Yunshu glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Luo Yang's heart was full of ideas! Thinking about it this way, they would have a backer in Yan Jing in the future.
Their meteoric rise was just around the corner.
However …
Luo Yang saw that Ji Yunshu didn't seem to be surprised. He immediately understood and asked, "Did you already know? You even hid it from me. "
"I thought you knew!"
"I only knew that they weren't small fries. How could I have known that they were … big shots!"
Ji Yunshu said, "In fact, I warned you many times, but you didn't notice."
"Did you warn me?"
"…" Ji Yunshu hinted many times.
Unfortunately, Luo Yang's blockhead didn't know how to think.
At this time, Little Ba shouted, "Big Brother, they left."
'Left?'
Luo Yang stretched his head and saw the Wen brothers leaving with that group of people.
"They left just like that? What should we do? He also promised me a lot of things! "
He was anxious!
Just as he was about to jump off the carriage, Qitian came over and said, "Luo Yang, my young master has something to do."
"What? He has something to do? The Wen surnamed Wen promised me that he would give me what I want when I arrive in Yan Jing. If he left just like that, what should we do? "
Little Ba hurriedly echoed, "That's right! You didn't keep your word!"
Qitian's face darkened. He was truly speechless. He said, "My young master has always kept his word. Whatever he promised, he will definitely do it. But now that he has something to do, he can't take care of you. However, he told me to take good care of you."
Luo Yang felt relieved. "That's good!"
He couldn't let the 'meteoric rise' go just like that!
