Shen Yu saw the change in his expression and quickly persuaded him: "I haven't been back to Luozhou to see my grandmother for a long time. Now there is not much time left for us to breathe and rest. When the war breaks out, there will be no chance. I want to start with Go back and see her."
"Besides, I have to go to the accounts every year in the past. There are so many people down there, so there's no guarantee that there won't be people with evil intentions. I'm afraid that someone will deceive my grandmother because of her old age."
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "It's time to go back, and I should go too, but now..."
"I understand." Shen Yu's eyes were bright, "I'll talk about the rest later."
Xie Tingzhou pushed a strand of hair from her temples back behind her ear, "You go to Luozhou first. After I return to Beilin and check the situation, I will go to Luozhou to pick you up."
Shen Yu nodded, "Want to take a walk?"
"good."
It was starting to get cold at night after the beginning of autumn. Xie Tingzhou took his cloak and led her out of the tent.
Xi Feng wanted to follow, but Xie Tingzhou blocked him. Only Bai Yu spread his wings and flew in front of them.
They usually choose a place close to a water source when they are stationed. There is a small river next to the forest, and the moonlight breaks into stars on the water.
Xie Tingzhou led her along the river, "You can't take so many people to Luozhou, but you have to take at least some of them. Take more than a thousand people with you. You don't need to go to the city. We can find a place to stay in Luozhou. We are in Beijing." There is such a big commotion in the country, if the state government is not good for the Lu family, it would be nice to have someone to take care of it."
Shen Yu said: "The goal is too big and it is difficult to move. We have to hurry. I want to keep a low profile on this journey. If it is confirmed that Li Zhaonian ascends the throne, there is no need to worry about the problems of the prefectural government. Li Zhaonian is not that kind of person."
Xie Tingzhou slowed down and asked, "How long have you known him and you trust him so much?"
Shen Yu turned her head to look at him. The moonlight was not bright enough to see whether there was jealousy on his face.
"Actually, at Baishan Hunting Ground, he already knew that I was a woman, but he did not expose me or use it as a threat. I believe in his character."
"He is a kind-hearted person." Xie Tingzhou said: "But being kind-hearted and soft-handed cannot suppress those veteran ministers who form cliques."
"Isn't there Jiang Yuanqing? With his assistance, the head of the Household Department is Li Zhaonian. He holds the lifeblood of Da Zhou in his own hands."
Speaking of the head of the household department, Xie Tingzhou thought of Jiang Lianzhi.
Ever since Ge Liangji was beheaded, Jiang Lianzhi has been in charge of the household department. He has overstepped his control by taking the position of minister of household affairs at a young age. He is not qualified enough and cannot move up any higher, but now he is in charge of the household department. , similar to a minister.
"I feel strange about something." Xie Tingzhou said.
Shen Yu said, "What's the matter?"
Xie Tingzhou stopped and stood face to face with Shen Yu, "My hostility towards this person is far beyond my own imagination, it's like..."
He couldn't find the right words.
"What does it look like?" Shen Yu looked at him seriously.
Xie Tingzhou had a flash of idea, "It's like he snatched you away from me. I wish I could tear him into pieces. Do you think...do people have past lives and afterlives?"
Shen Yu's face froze. She had never mentioned anything about her previous life to Xie Tingzhou.
Before she could answer, Xie Tingzhou looked at her and said seriously: "I don't remember my past life. You are mine in this life and in countless future lives."
Luozhou and Beilin are not in the same direction.
We set out at dawn the next day and marched until noon, when it was time to part ways.
Shen Yu and Xiao Chuan had already talked in the morning. Xiao Chuan wanted to follow her to Luozhou. Shen Yu told him that if he followed her, the five thousand soldiers and horses would become soldiers without an owner. Who would restrain them? ?
Xiao Chuan was still convinced, and the final result was that Xiao Chuan led five thousand soldiers and horses to Beilin with Xie Tingzhou, and Xie Tingzhou assigned ten more skilled soldiers to escort Shen Yu all the way to Luozhou.
The dozen or so men and horses had already gone far away, and the yellow sand kicked up by the horses' hooves was blown up in the wind.
Xie Tingzhou stared for a long time in the direction she left. It was a long way to Luozhou, and it would take two or three months to go back and forth.
"Your Highness, let's go." Xifeng said, "The girl has gone far."
Xie Tingzhou didn't speak. After a while, he patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "Go."
Bai Yu flapped his wings and followed the direction Shen Yu left.
Shen Yu heard Bai Yu's chirping and raised her head when she raised her whip.
She understood what he was thinking, he was asking Bai Yu to give her another ride.
"drive--"
Shen Yu took the lead and headed towards Luozhou in the flying sand.
……
A carriage was driving on the official road. He put a bare hand on the window, glanced at the sky, and urged the driver to drive the carriage.
"Faster."
"It can't go any faster." The coachman said, "This horse has to be able to run."
The maid opened the curtain and whispered: "I think he did it on purpose. He would like to run away for ten and a half years on a daily basis."
The young lady's face was a little anxious, but she still maintained her ladylike demeanor, "When we get into the city, we can change cars and start our journey tomorrow."
The maid said: "At this rate, we won't be able to enter the city today."
More than ten people rode on horseback, all wearing power fences to block the wind and sand.
"Huh." Shen Zhao stopped his horse and slowed down, "Pingcheng is ahead of us. Hurry up and get into the city before dark. Find an inn to stay overnight."
Shen Yu took off the power fence and shook the sand on it, "This road was not so difficult in the past."
Shen Zhao looked solemn, "Autumn is a desolate day. The refugees have no food to eat and have eaten up all the grass roots along the road. The road is naturally difficult to walk. Let's go."
Everyone continued on their way, turned around the mountain col and walked onto a first road. They saw a carriage parked on the side of the road in the distance.
As I got closer, I vaguely heard a man and a woman arguing.
Shen Zhao glanced sideways as he passed by, and after running about a mile, he suddenly reined in his horse.
Shen Yu couldn't stop in time and ran a few feet away before turning around and coming back, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Shen Zhao seemed to be stunned, with confusion and disbelief on his face.
He immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the way he came.
Shen Yu was confused. She even called Shen Zhao several times but got no response, so she had no choice but to follow him.
Fortunately, they did not run very far, and the quarrel on the roadside was not over when Shen Zhao returned.
This year is not peaceful. Rogue bandits are rising from the west. The grooms and maids are wary of the sudden arrival of people. They stop and stop arguing and stare at the people coming.
Shen Zhao's clothes were wrapped in ashes, he was wearing a power fence, and there was a knife hanging on the side of his horse. He suddenly stopped on the side of the road, which would make anyone alert.
The maid thought she had met a gangster. Just as she was about to move to the carriage, she heard the man shout uncertainly, "Ying'er?"
