Chapter 178: Wind and Rain Gather in Chang'an(2/3)
"Say." the middle-aged man said without turning his head.
"I obey the order." The servant agreed, and then asked in a low voice: "Is the leader the legendary sixth prince?"
The middle-aged man looked at Xu who was walking towards him, nodded and said: "Who else in the world today can make people willingly get out of the way?"
?????????"Yes." The servant who got the affirmative answer nodded and murmured.
????????After a while, the long queue from Jingzhao Mansion passed the middle-aged man's position.
????????The official road after Chang Long in Jingzhao Mansion gradually returned to its previous order.
?????????However, the middle-aged man still stood there blankly, looking at the back of the long dragon in Jingzhao Mansion.
"Master." The servant reminded him in a low voice from behind the middle-aged man.
????????The middle-aged man came back to his senses, looked away and smiled bitterly.
????????Then he walked towards the carriage and ordered: "Let's go into the city."
????????"Follow the order." The servant agreed, gave a few instructions, and then got into the carriage.
????????As soon as Fang walked into the car, he saw his master sitting on the soft ground with a frown on his face.
????????The servant brought up tea, poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man, and then asked in a low voice: "Isn't it because of your promotion that I came to Beijing this time? Why am I always depressed along the way?"
The middle-aged man picked up the tea and said with a wry smile: "Gaosheng? I would rather stay here all my life than come to this so-called capital."
"Why?" The servant said with a puzzled face: "The capital is so nice. There are no Huns here, and there are no cold arrows that pop up from time to time."
???????After the words fell, the servant couldn't help but sigh heavily.
????????.
???????? Unless he is willing to carry a big belly every day and look more like his father than his father.
????????But there is no other way.
?????????If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to wear armor for a long time.
????????If you don’t eat enough, you won’t have the strength to deal with the cold that comes from time to time, and the battles that you can’t afford to prevent.
????????As soon as one comes or two, people become what they are now.
?????????No, that seemingly fat appearance hides arms that are comparable to stone.
????????He is a servant and a general of the family.
????????The middle-aged man drank the tea in his hand and then threw the tea cup casually on the small wooden table.
????????? He sighed heavily, then smiled bitterly and said: "Li Zhong, do you know what my grandfather's greatest wish is in his life?"
?????????Li Zhong couldn't help but pause slightly when he heard this.
?????????What is the old man’s greatest wish in this life?
????????This issue is probably unknown to everyone among the upper-class dignitaries of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
???????Seeing Li Zhong silent.
????????The middle-aged man smiled bitterly again and said: "If I still stay at the border, maybe I still have hope in this life to fulfill grandpa's last wish."
???????"Although there has been no war at the border for more than ten years."
????????"But in these years, which year has there not been dozens of frictions?"
"Especially these two, the number of frictions has increased, and the scale has become a bit larger from time to time."
?????????"The Huns are wild, I'm afraid there will be another war at the border in a few years."
"Why do you think I am willing to be transferred to the capital at this time?"
?????????"Not to mention Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, so what if you give me the position of Minister of Dali Temple?"
????????After the words fell, the middle-aged man sighed heavily again…

???????An endless sadness appeared on his face.
???????Li Zhong sighed several times after hearing this.
????????For a time, everywhere in the carriage was filled with indescribable melancholy.
????????Xu Yi naturally didn’t know what was going on inside the green-covered carriage.
????????He didn’t even have the slightest impression of the middle-aged man.
????????No, there are too many people on both sides of the official road.
?????????Xu Yi held his hands all the way, letting the horse under his crotch move forward slowly.
?????????After some time, Xu Yi and his party finally arrived outside Xuanping Gate.
Xu Yi put down his sore hands and walked slowly forward while looking up at the Xuanpingmen city wall that had been away for more than three months.
?????????The city wall is still the same city, Chang'an City is still the same Chang'an City.
Three months is just a blink of an eye for an ancient city that has lasted for hundreds of years.
????????But I don’t know why, but the city wall has not changed at all from three months ago.
???????But Xu Yi still looked at the towering and solid city wall and slightly curved his mouth.
????????The sun and a gentle breeze blew up Xu Yi's head of black hair, leaving several white strands with no place to hide.
????????At the crenellations of the city wall.
Rong Pingchuan looked under the city wall and Xu Yi, who was slowly advancing with his horse, looked up at the city wall and nodded slightly.
????????Immediately turned around and left the crenellations of the city wall, walking towards the city gate tower.
????????I don’t know what to do, I just saw it in a hurry.??@
Rong Pingchuan always felt that Xu Yi at this time was different from Xu Yi three months ago.
????????When he saw Xu Yi in a hurry, he felt like he didn't dare to look directly at Xu Yi under the city wall.
????????This feeling was definitely not there three months ago.
?????????Under the city wall.
????????Xu Yi slowly retracted his eyes and crossed the city gate.
????????Changlong was immediately dismissed.
?????????Having not returned home for more than three months, the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture are already eager to return home.
????????As soon as they were dismissed, they all ran towards home.
"Let's go, we should go back." Xu Yi smiled, and then said to Zhao Shou beside him.
????????? Zhao Shou's face paled slightly when he heard this, and he was stunned for a few breaths before asking: "Six, should we go back to Jingzhao Mansion or Youningyuan?"
Now that the Guanzhong disaster has ended, the relief team has returned to Chang'an City.
????????At the next court meeting, Xu Yi will definitely relieve himself of the burden of Jing Zhaoyin and the commander-in-chief of Guanzhong disaster relief.
???????? Once there, the master and servant naturally cannot continue to live in the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.
????????As for You Ning.
????????Yuan? Since the last reward from Emperor Zhengde, the two of them have been unable to stay in Youningyuan for a long time.
?????????As for the mansion rewarded by Emperor Zhengde...
????????With Xu Yi’s body, living there is not troublesome enough.
????????First of all, you need to be careful about your diet.
????????Secondly, with those twenty palace maids present, it will be particularly troublesome for Wenxin Baiwei to enter and leave the mansion.
????????If you think about it carefully, the master and servant now don’t even have a permanent place to stay...
"Let's go back to Jingzhao Mansion first." Xu Yi paused and then decided.
?????????"Okay." Zhao Shou agreed.
????????Then the master and the servant rode towards the direction of Jingzhao Mansion.
???????Not long after the master and servant left.
????????The same scene as before has already been staged at Jingyao Gate in Beicheng.
?????????Jingyao Gate, North City, Chang'an City.
???????Although there are not as many pedestrians and caravans as there are at Xuanping Gate...
????????This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue
????????But it should not be underestimated either.
?????????While everyone was queuing up and waiting silently to enter the city.
???????Three riders suddenly came running from a distance.
