Under Xunchi's masterful hand rejuvenation, Gu Hanmo's arm was finally healed.
The affairs of the newlyweds Gu Jiuge and Gu Yi have also been settled, and the matter of returning to Beili is on the agenda again.
To everyone's surprise, Yufu offered to ask Gu Huaijiang to stay in Immortal Valley.
"Immortal Valley has a pleasant scenery and is isolated from the world. It is a good place to recuperate. The general is not young, maybe staying here will make your life more comfortable in the future."
Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words, Gu Yi hurriedly said: "Yufu, why don't you let father go to Beili together?"
Su Yunyan gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, "What are you talking about? How could Yufu not let father go? Didn't you see that she was trying to take care of father's mood."
Su Yunyan also has half of Gu Hou's blood in her body. Madam Su told her many heroic deeds of Gu Huaijiang since she was a child.
At first he would rather die than rebel, but later he agreed to follow Yufu and the others to Beili, probably because of Gu Xiyufu.
He cared about Yufu's situation, and Yufu naturally cared about his feelings, and he didn't want him to go to Beili with a heavy burden on his heart, it would only cause heart trouble.
Everyone could see Yu Fu's kindness, and Gu Huaijiang could also see it.
Immortal Valley is not under the jurisdiction of Dongling, it is a place outside the Three Kingdoms, Yufu let him stay here to preserve his reputation—
He is not a traitor if he has not gone to another country to serve his allegiance.
Yu Fu had already discussed this matter with Gu Shubai, and seeing that Gu Huaijiang was silent, Gu Shubai also persuaded him: "Father, Immortal Valley is a good place, and there are medical gods and Yufu's brothers here, You can rest assured. You have fought for half your life, it is time to rest and take a look at the mountains and rivers of the Kyushu mainland."
The children tried their best to be considerate of him, but Gu Huaijiang nodded, unwilling to let him down.
Gu Wenqing stepped forward and said: "If the father wants to stay in the Immortal Valley, the child should stay in the Immortal Valley together! Let the brothers go back to Beili with Yufu, and they will definitely be able to help Yufu with their outstanding talents. The child has no skills. Father is filial to his knees."
Gu Xiangdao: "If the fourth brother is not capable, then the child is even less capable. The fourth brother should go to Beili with the eldest brother and the others, and let me stay and take care of my father!"
Gu Yi and Su Yunyan were about to speak, but Gu Huaijiang waved his hand to signal them to shut up.
"You don't need to say anything, no one needs to stay with me. I'm only in my fifties, do you think I'm too old to walk?"
Gu Huaijiang looked at Gu Wenqing and the others, "You are the sons of my Gu Huaijiang, which one is useless? It is only because the three of you are younger and your elder brother does most of the daily affairs, so it doesn't show. The aforementioned Baihejiuge When you're not in the mansion, don't you manage the accountant very well?"
Gu Wenqing lowered her head, a little embarrassed and said: "Just that time I lost Yufu, the child can't afford the father's praise."
Gu Huaijiang shook his head, and said again: "Gu Xiang hasn't married yet, and as a father, he still expects you to meet a woman who is suitable for his lifelong company in Beili. And Gu Yi, even though you are married, you can't be bored, Yun Yan It’s because my father saw him grow up, he’s as lively and active as you. Are you two going crazy if you’re detained in such a quiet place as Immortal Valley?”
Gu Yi and Su Yunyan looked at each other, and they both smiled embarrassedly.
"None of you are allowed to stay, and all of you are going to Beili. Yufu has to take on so many things at a young age, and my father can't help by his side. You help Yufu for my father, which is the greatest filial piety to my father. ,do you understand?"
Regarding Gu Huaijiang's words, Gu Shubai and the others always obeyed.
Everyone bowed down in unison, "Yes, father."
Yan Huashi led Yan Zheng forward and said: "Where the general is, we will accompany him there. As for the juniors, let them go to the world! Major general, if you don't mind, take this kid with you! "
He pushed Yan Zheng out, and the latter followed Gu Shubai obediently.
Yan Zheng has always liked to cling to Gu Shubai in the Gu family army, just like his lieutenant general, the friendship between the two is as deep as brothers.
Gu Shubai nodded to Yan Huashi, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."
Yan Zheng immediately jumped up, "I don't want the Major General to take care of me, I'm going to protect the Major General and Miss Yufu!" Gu Huaijiang looked at Yan Huashi and the others, "What are you doing here? Major General, I can't do without you anymore."
Lao Jin said first: "Hey, don't mention the general. All the people in Gu Hou's mansion are gone. Do you think the Gu family army will still exist? It's an eyesore for us to keep them. In the future, if His Majesty is unhappy, he will dispose of us and vent his anger." Not sure. Instead of being frightened in Dongling, it is better to go to the mountains and rivers with the general!"
Gu Huaijiang couldn't laugh or cry.
Lao Jin really thought that he was going to visit mountains and rivers.
Forget it, these generals have followed him in the north and south for decades, and it's time to rest.
When Xunchi heard that Gu Huaijiang was going to stay, he didn't say much, he just called Yuehu and Tianshu to go.
"You all go to Beili with Yufu. Kuangfu Beili's foundation of the court is also a merit."
Yuehu looked puzzled, "Master, didn't you say that our Immortal Valley is not involved in government affairs? Tianshu and I are the first disciples of Immortal Valley, if we go to Beili Dynasty, it will be a joke to say that we are not involved in government affairs? "
Xunchi's white eyebrows immediately stood up, "Who dares to laugh at my teacher? When I don't want to talk nonsense to those people in the courts of various countries, I say that Immortal Valley has no involvement in government affairs. Now my teacher's most beloved disciples will return to Beili Prince Chu, this has long been empty talk that does not involve government affairs, do you still care about the two of you?"
Tianshu had no objection, he was very happy to be with Yuehu, but...
"Master, Eldest Sister and I have gone, who will take care of the affairs in the valley? If you go into seclusion again, who will come..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xunchi interrupted impatiently, "Just go if you are told, are you afraid that no one will take care of the affairs in the valley? There is a general who manages hundreds of thousands of troops outside, and you are afraid Don't move about our valley?"
Tianshu thought about it for a while, and turned to Yuehu with a nympho smile, "Elder Sister, let's go to Beili together, and we will take care of each other!"
"Who will take care of you?"
Yuehu glanced at him coquettishly, then turned and went out the door, "I went to take care of Xiaoyu, our family, and it has nothing to do with you."
After speaking, he soared into the sky and flew towards the bottom of the cliff, Tianshu quickly followed behind and flew down, "Master, wait for me!"
…
"Yufu, Gu Yi and I have decided to stay and not go to Beili with you."
When leaving Immortal Valley, Su Yunyan and Yufu whispered alone, although Yufu was a little surprised, he didn't object.
"It's fine for you and Sixth Brother to stay with the General, but will the General agree? Sixth Brother is most afraid of the General. How dare he defy the General?"
Su Yunyan smiled mysteriously, "But uncle is afraid of my mother. I persuade uncle in the name of mother, and he will always listen. Besides, although the third brother's arm has been cured, it will take some time to recover. We agreed Stay and take care of the third brother, and go to Beili to join you when the third brother's injury is completely healed."
Yu Fu took her hand, "Then it's settled, I'll wait for you in the capital, and I will definitely prepare the best mansion for you."
Su Yunyan said embarrassingly: "Yufu, you didn't tell me your identity before, we also said you were a country girl, you wouldn't take it to heart, would you?"
"Everyone is a family. This is something that happened when I was a child. Why do you bring it up again?"
Yu Fu didn't care at all, the people who misunderstood her identity back then were not only Su Yunyan's mother and daughter, but also Princess Danyang and Liu Ruyi, who said it even more.
She doesn't even mind those people, so why would she mind Su Yunyan
Su Yunyan said: "I knew you were not stingy! By the way, my mother told me to thank you. If it weren't for you this time, the whole family of Guhou's mansion might really be in trouble. Shall I kowtow to you? "
Yu Fu jumped in surprise, and hurriedly motioned to Gu Yi who was behind her to help her up.
"We are of the same generation. I should call you Six Sister-in-law now. Why are you kowtowing to me? If you insist on doing this, then you don't think of me as a member of the Marquis Gu's Mansion."
Su Yunyan winked at her, "Sister-in-law Liu is not sister-in-law six, just call you by name in the future, don't we have to call you sister-in-law sooner or later? At that time, the generation will be messed up, in my opinion, we should just call you sister-in-law." Let’s go, let’s just call by name. Ji Yan, don’t you think so?”
Su Yunyan looked at Yin Jizheng, she had only been in Guzhong for a few days and she had already gotten to know Yin Jizheng very well, both of them were from the Dongling family, so they chatted very well.
Yin Ji said: "What Yunyan said is true, just call her by name. I heard that the people in Beili are more open-minded, and it's not a custom of rigid etiquette, so it's not a breach of etiquette."
Everyone was talking happily, when Chen Jing walked up and said, "Your Highness, Lord Tian sent someone to pick you up."
Yu Fu subconsciously glanced at Gu Shubai, thinking that the timing was right, Tian Yunpo still lowered his head first and sent someone to pick them up.
She nodded slightly, "Understood, let's go immediately."
Gu Huaijiang, Gu Hanmo with one arm hanging, and Gu Yi and his wife watched them leave. The long line gradually disappeared into the clouds until they could no longer be seen.
On the carriage, Yu Fu and Gu Shubai were talking in the carriage.
Gu Shubai said: "Recently, you seem to be ignoring Mr. Chen, you don't have any good looks towards him, and you don't let him ride in your carriage like before."
Yu Fu pouted, "It's not that you can't see how happy he was when he came to inform Tian Yunpo to send someone to pick us up? In his eyes, this Lord Tian who has no official position may be more important than me .”
Gu Shubai guessed it was because of Tian Yunpo.
"I can see that Mr. Chen is a loyal subject. He regards you as his lord in his heart, but he trusts Tian Yunpo's methods and talents more in government affairs. This is not contradictory."
Yu Fu said: "I understand. It's like Mr. Ji and others support the general and firmly believe that the court and society of Dongling can be stable only if he is in Dongling. Mr. Ji and the others are loyal ministers, and they will never support the general as the lord , but they trust the general more than they trust Ning Chengzhi."
Her tone was slightly cold, "But the difference is that I am sure that the general will never support himself with the intention of rebelling, and this Tian Yunpo may not."
It can be seen from his bold request to marry Yufu in his letters that this person is definitely not a good person.
Gu Shubai patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "No matter what kind of person Tian Yunpo is, you can't take the initiative to push a loyal minister like Master Chen to his side. You are not Ning Chengzhi, you will be a wise king in the future, You should know how to treat Zhongliang in the middle of the court."
Yu Fu let out a sigh of relief, "I just want Chen Jingxing to know that I am very dissatisfied with his support for Tian Yunpo, and I naturally know that he is loyal and not to be neglected. No, I have already asked Yao Lan to personally deliver snacks to him gone."
Yao Lan is the maid who accompanied Yu Fu since she was a child, she is no older than Lian Zhu and Lian Bi, but her position by Yu Fu's side is irreplaceable.
To a certain extent, she represented Yufu, and she personally went to condolences to Chen Jingxing, which was the best way to show Yufu's importance.
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "It seems that I am worrying too much, you already have a plan in mind. But you have to make arrangements for Tian Yunpo as soon as possible, what are your plans?"
Yu Fu has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, and she has already made up her mind, she leaned into Gu Shubai's ear and said this, and the latter showed a helpless smile.
"Then I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany the gentleman."
Yu Fu blinked playfully, "I won't let you risk your life, isn't there a senior sister and a second senior brother?"
…
Ten days later, Yufu and his party arrived in the capital.
Gu Shubai has seen the prosperity of Lin'an in Dongling, and the bustle of Xiancheng in West Kunming, but it is nothing compared to the capital of Beili.
The people on the street are all dressed in beautiful clothes, men and women are not afraid to play around in the street, old people and children are all smiling.
The sound of hawking can be heard endlessly. There is a stall every three steps on the main street, and there is a restaurant or inn within ten steps. The aroma of tea, wine and snacks even penetrated into the carriage.
Looking out from the window of the carriage, the buildings are so tall that the roof cannot be seen at a glance, and the faintly visible Miyagi at the end of the long street is even more majestic and magnificent.
It is not like the exquisiteness of Dongling, nor the boldness of Xikun, but a kind of thickness and vicissitudes accumulated over the years, exuding the nobility of the ancient palace city from the inside out.
The people from Dongling had never seen such a scene. They thought that Lin'an was extremely wealthy, but they never expected that there would be such a prosperous place in the mainland of Kyushu.
Yu Fu glanced out of the car window, everything in front of him was strange yet familiar.
In the more than ten years in Immortal Valley, she has seen many picture scrolls sent from the capital, and seen the bustling scene here, so she knows it well.
But when she really stood in it, she felt a strange uneasiness.
She had never felt this kind of anxiety in Lin'an, nor had she ever felt it in Xixian City, but she felt this anxiety when she returned to her hometown.
Her hand was leaning on the wall of the carriage, slightly curled up, it had not been shrunk into a fist, but had been smoothed into a palm.
His hand was generous and warm, and he held her hand gently, "No matter what happens, I am here."
Yu Fu's heart gradually calmed down, the central gate of the palace opened wide, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army with well-equipped armor on both sides were mighty and extraordinary, "Welcome Your Highness back to the palace!"
"Welcome Your Highness back to the palace!"
The shouts followed one after another, the long-suppressed expectation in the voice, the patiently waiting for many years.
Fourteen years have passed, and the long-awaited Prince Chu has finally returned.
The guard of honor entered through the main entrance and walked all the way through the avenue paved with red carpets. Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides of the avenue, kneeling down to welcome them, and shouting "Your Highness, a thousand years ago, a thousand years ago".
Her uneasy heart gradually fell, and an innate attraction made her get used to everything in front of her in an instant.
However, Gu Jiuge and the others behind were not used to the scene in front of them. Yin Jixie, who had changed into a woman's bun, sat in the carriage and couldn't help holding Gu Jiuge's hand.
"Husband, I've never seen such a scene, will it be rude to get out of the car in a while?"
She seldom even participated in palace banquets in Dongling, and such a grand occasion was unheard of, so she couldn't help worrying.
Gu Jiuge patted her on the back and comforted her: "It's okay, as long as you keep everything as usual, Dongling Yin's family is also a century-old family, so don't underestimate yourself."
Only then did Yin Jixie smile reassuringly, and stood up to straighten her collar.
In front of the main hall steps, the only young man who didn't kneel down to greet him came up. He didn't even wear court clothes, only a simple azure blue gown.
The unusual long gown looked surprisingly good on him, exuding the elegance of a scholar.
All the officials knelt and bowed their heads, but he stood here with ease, walking slowly, without any sense of tension in his steps.
He greeted him with a smile, his warm and handsome face was smiling, a little annoyingly frivolous—
"My minister Tian Yunpo, welcome Your Highness back to the palace."
