Three days were neither too long nor too short, and they passed by very quickly.
She Yan, who was leading the way, reined in his horse and shouted, "Stop!" before stopping at the city gate. Sure enough, it was different from the past. The city gate was heavily guarded, and there were twice as many guards as before. It was enough to show how tense the situation in the city was.
They planned to hide their tracks and quietly return to the capital, so they deliberately divided into two groups. She Yan guarded Xiahou Qing and Ning Shu in the front, and Huimo guarded Xiao Zhangping in the back. Unexpectedly, someone recognized them as soon as they appeared at the city gate.
"Look, look, isn't that the Heir of Xiahou's carriage? Although it's not as luxurious as the carriage of the prince's mansion, the guards on both sides are majestic. It can't be anyone other than the guards of the Prince of Nanping! "
"I think so too. The rumors are right. Heir Xiahou has returned to the capital! The one sitting in the carriage behind must be Duke Ning's famous eldest daughter, Ning Shu! Come and see! Come and see! "
The people at the city gate quickly gathered. Some of them were not in a hurry to leave the city and stood aside to watch the show. In the carriage, Xiahou Qing secretly frowned and rubbed his fingers back and forth.
In the crowd, Tan Siwei, who did not have time to take off his official robe, squeezed out as a spectator. He greeted the guards at the city gate and personally went to the front of the carriage to welcome them.
"Heir Xiahou, you've had a hard journey. I specially came to welcome you."
Xiahou Qing ordered Jiu Si to lift the curtain and welcome Tan Siwei into the carriage. He was too lazy to be mysterious. He directly hung the token of the Prince of Nanping and drove the carriage into the city.
Like a spark falling into dry grass, the news of "Ning Shu, the eldest daughter of the Ning Family, came back from the dead!" and "Xiahou Qing, the heir of the Prince of Nanping, suddenly returned to the capital!" spread through the streets and alleys. In the crowd, Tianwen silently pulled down the straw hat on his head and walked into the deep alley with a load on his shoulder.
In the carriage, Xiahou Qing and Tan Siwei sat opposite each other. Xiahou Qing nodded slightly. "Thank you for waiting, Shaoqing Tan."
However, in just a few days, Tan Siwei, who once had a baby face, lost his childishness in a very short period of time after leaving the guidance and protection of his father and brother. His chin slowly sharpened, his personality became more mature, and his eyes became more steady and resolute. However, there was one thing that did not change, and that was the determination in his bones that he would rather die than live in dishonor.
"Shu 'er, ah no," Tan Siwei hurriedly corrected himself, "Miss Shu was in danger that day, and I was so incompetent that I didn't know about it at all. Fortunately, Heir Xiahou risked his life to save her. Otherwise, I can't imagine how she would be now … I admit that I do like Miss Shu, but after a series of incidents, I have to admit that Heir Xiahou's ability is beyond my reach. I'm sincerely convinced."
When he heard the news of Ning Shu's "sudden death", he was busy every day in grief. When he finally realized that something was wrong, it was already two days later when Commandery Princess Xin was imprisoned and the city was in chaos. He suddenly woke up and wanted to go out of the city to save her, but when he looked up, he didn't know where to go. It wasn't until a few days later when he received Xiahou Qing's secret letter that he felt relieved. Previously, he had been furious because He Shu 'er had chosen Xiahou Qing and not him. Now, he finally admitted it.
In this world, only the man in front of him had the ability to protect Shu 'er. He was indeed not as good as him.
However, Tan Siwei frowned and muttered, "But I really don't know what Heir Xiahou meant in the letter."
