Chapter Fourteen Leaving the Capital
The study room of Situ Mansion.
"Dad, why did you suddenly ask me to leave the capital?" Qingyu asked in confusion.
Since Wang Yun has decided to let Qingyu leave the capital, he will naturally not let her know the dangers involved. He gently touched Qingyu's head and whispered.
"You also know that the current situation in the capital is unpredictable. Although Dad is a Situ and others don't dare to act too randomly, there are always some cowards and rude people."
"Didn't Lu Bu also lead troops to search your boudoir yesterday? He is now a popular person in front of Dong Xiangguo. Dad just wanted you to stop having a quarrel with him, so he said that to you.
talk."
"But last night, after thinking about it, Dad really doesn't trust you. If Lu Bu asks the Prime Minister to grant a marriage or something, you will definitely refuse to obey. If something happens to you, what should Dad do? So Dad decided to let
You go to your Uncle Han to avoid the limelight."
Without doubting his presence, she said softly: "Dad, yesterday I blamed you for compromising to those frivolous people and said you were worthless. I'm sorry."
Dad has no future!
If Ji Shu hadn't given you a heads-up, I might have gambled your life on it.
Just like the gambler in the market, he really has no future.
Wang Yun's beard curled up, and he knocked Qingyu's head pretending to be angry.
"You girl, you are criticizing your father again. He knows that he is not good enough to you. He is always concerned about national affairs and neglects you. When you go to your Uncle Han's place, just read more, learn the piano, and practice embroidery. But don't
How can a girl's family be decent if she can dance with swords again? Remember not to be picky about food..."
Qingyu said dissatisfiedly: "I know, I know! Dad is getting more and more verbose. But once your daughter leaves, Lu Bu won't make things difficult for you, right?"
After this, don't you know that you will still hear your father's nagging in the future?
Shaking his head, Wang Yun said proudly: "Father is also a great Han Situ after all. If I can't do anything to him, what can he do to me? As long as you are not in the capital, dad will be relieved."
"Yes, yes, daddy, you are amazing."
Qingyu then calmed down and happily went over to give Wang Yun a shoulder. Wang Yun had already arranged for the maid to pack her luggage, and after chatting with Qingyu for a while, she asked her to go back to the room to see if there was anything she needed to bring.
Didn't bring it.
Qingyu just thought that Wang Yun was getting more verbose as he got older, and didn't care. When he thought of going on a long trip, like an outing, he couldn't help but go out happily.
"By the way, go and call Ji Shu in. I have something to explain to him."
Silently watching his daughter walk out the door, Wang Yun shouted urgently and suddenly looked lonely.
"Okay! Dad, I don't blame you for caring about national affairs. Dad has always been the pride of Qingyu!"
"After some time, my daughter will come back after having enough fun. I don't want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Daddy, just wait and see, haha!"
There was a whisper and shy laughter outside the door.
Wang Yun was stunned, as if something was blocking his chest. He stared blankly at the ripples in the tea cup in his hand.
······
"Master, are you looking for me?" Ji Shu came in and bowed and asked.
"Well, sit down."
Wang Yun pointed to the chair beside him, and when he saw Ji Shu sat down as instructed, he continued.
"You are going to Jiangxia. Please be more careful along the way. Zhu Yun and Xu He are the most skilled guards in the mansion. I have already told them that they must obey your arrangements along the way. You must protect Qing Yu's An for me.
"
"When you get to Jiangxia, go find Mr. Han Song. He is Liu Biao's adviser and an old friend of mine. I have written a personal letter for Qingyu to take with you. When you get there, he will take care of you."
Ji Shu stood up and bowed: "Don't worry, sir, I will keep you safe!"
Wang Yun nodded and asked, "Ji Shu, you don't have words yet, do you?"
Ji Shu was stunned and replied: "I haven't reached the crown yet, and I haven't taken the word yet."
Wang Yun stroked his beard and smiled.
"It's just a common rule to choose a nickname based on your title. Many children from aristocratic families have chosen a nickname early on. You don't have any elders now, how about I help you choose a nickname?"
Ji Shu was a little worried. At that time, he was no longer interested in picking characters, so he hadn't thought of a word for himself until now. Since Wang Yun said that, he must have thought it up for him, but he was a little worried.
What if it sounds too unpleasant? With an anxious mood, Ji Shu said bravely.
"Please give me some advice."
······
It seems like a long time has passed, but it seems like it was just a moment ago, and time has become meaningless.
"Sir, the lady is out."
The old housekeeper finally came back. He bowed slightly and reported back to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun was sitting in the room, holding a book and looking out the window.
"knew."
"Sir!" the old housekeeper hesitated for a while and asked, "Has the situation really deteriorated to this point?"
"Do you think Lu Bu came to the mansion yesterday to search for Cao Cao?"
Wang Yun's voice was vague and uncertain, and the old housekeeper couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words.
"Master, who is he?"
"Cao Cao failed in his assassination, so how could he stay in the capital and wait for Dong Zhuo to hunt him down? He must have disguised himself and left the city as soon as possible."
"The entire capital is Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears, how would he not know? If my prediction is correct, there are already a large number of arrest documents out of the city, and officials from all over the country have been ordered to arrest Cao Cao."
"When the incident happened in the capital, it was Dong Zhuo who warned the nobles that he had soldiers! Secondly, he asked Lu Bu to come over and see my seven-star sword."
Upon hearing the Seven-Star Sword, the old housekeeper's expression changed and he hesitated to speak. Wang Yun ignored it and continued.
"Cao Cao used the seven-star sword I lent him for his assassination. Although you were very opposed to it later, I don't regret it."
"Although Cao Cao is gone now, there are many capable people around the old thief Dong Zhuo, and he will be able to find clues soon. After all, many people know about my seven-star sword."
"Although I have also prepared a fake sword. Whether Dong Zhuo believes it or not is another matter. I am afraid that Lu Bu will come to the mansion again in a few days. The fortune of the Situ Mansion is unpredictable. Don't let Qingyu leave at this time.
, when will we wait?”
"Well, it's just that the road to Jiangxia is too far, so I'm a little worried."
The old housekeeper grew up watching Qingyu. Wang Yun was busy with affairs in the court, so the old housekeeper mostly took care of Qingyu. He looked at her as if he were his own daughter. Today, even though he knew it was for her own good, it was inevitable
Somewhat reluctant and worried.
"The yellow scarf thieves have been wiped out. No matter how small the thieves are, they are no match for Qingshan. You don't have to worry about it on the way." Wang Yun sighed softly, not knowing whether to comfort the old housekeeper or himself.
The old housekeeper sighed.
"Sir, I don't worry about the kid from Qingshan. However, Ji Shu has not been in the mansion for a long time, and I still have some doubts. Why did the master let him go with him? What if he is really a spy planted in the mansion by someone else?
"
Wang Yun's eyes drifted back from the window, looking at the old housekeeper who had been with him for many years, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to think too much, you can rest assured. This stage in the capital is not suitable for him, so I asked him to leave with Qingyu
The great Han Dynasty is so heavy that it is difficult to return to the capital. After my death, the princes will go to war. If he has not died yet, you will have the opportunity to hear his story."
"Wuxin, you can resign as housekeeper tomorrow and go back to your hometown."
"What about the master?"
"A great man, someone must die for him!"
"Master! Ren Wu is willing to follow the master!"
"Alas! I knew you would be like this, why bother..."
······
Many shops are already open on the streets of Luoyang, but you can't hear the shouts of the past. The pedestrians on the road also look hurried, and you can feel a strange dead silence, like a pool of stagnant water.
Leaving the tall city gate of the capital, the bright sunshine, and the scenery on the road made Qingyu very excited. For her, traveling far away was a new experience.
She never thought that if she left, she might be separated from Wang Yun forever.
Ji Shu felt guilty and did not dare to look at the eldest lady.
Ji Shu looked at Luoyang, which was a majestic and magnificent city, but he felt helpless and sad.
Ji Shu looked at the energetic young lady beside him. She was the only one who still didn't understand the sadness of this troubled world! I really hope she would never understand.
"Ji Shu, why did my father ask you before leaving?"
