Gu Zhixiao groped for the cage, sighed and said, "Protect Daddy."
Feng Zhiwei's hands froze, and she suddenly thought of the crying child hugging Gu Nanyi who was pretending to be dead in Lihu Weitang. She was so frightened that she wanted to "protect Daddy".
As strong as Gu Nanyi, he shoulders the responsibility of protecting others all his life, and no one thinks about protecting him.
Only this child.
Only this one was almost abandoned, and she had to keep up while rolling in the mud to protect her father's child.
Feng Zhiwei's hand, which was frozen in mid-air, finally came down, and slowly stroked Gu Zhixiao's head. Gu Zhixiao stepped aside, still looking at her so distantly and indifferently.
"Yes, protect Daddy." Feng Zhiwei sighed and said to her, "He deserves everyone, give everything to protect him."
In the carriage, Gu Nanyi was silent, thinking that what this woman said was nonsense.
Outside the carriage, Feng Zhiwei got into another car, before she lifted the curtain, she turned around and glanced at a corner of the street.
There, the body of a black steed was slightly exposed, and a corner of the moon-white robe with hidden silver dragon patterns was floating leisurely in the wind.
Ning Yi came despite his busy schedule.
He was supposed to be on his way to Luo County at this time, but His Majesty did not order him to send the Xiliang envoy team, so it was inconvenient for him to appear in this crowded place, so he could only hide in the corner of the street, with a silent presence, to see off.
Feng Zhiwei nodded slightly in that direction, with a faint smile on the corners of her lips, reflecting crystal clear and warm light in the sunlight, like a transparent flower blooming in the early summer breeze.
The curtains of the carriages fell, and the carriage team drove away quietly and orderly. They will meet with the Deputy Envoy and officials from the Ministry of Rituals, perform a ceremony outside the city gate, and then go straight to the distant Xiliang.
Behind the rumbling convoy, in the distance, suddenly there was the sound of leisurely flutes.
The sound of the flute is clearer and deeper, gentle and gentle. Although the melody is quiet and cool, it does not have the meaning of mourning and sadness, but has a faint sense of grandeur and grandeur.
In the carriage, Feng Zhiwei walked backwards towards Xiao Sheng.
The bamboo curtains cut off the light and shadow of the sun, making her expression mottled and blurred. She sank in the lonely darkness and turned her face slightly.
toward.
That silent street corner.
In the early summer, the sun was strong and sharp, shooting three feet in front of the gate of the imperial capital, and the smoke and dust raised by the horseshoes rose violently in the sunlight, submerging the tall and wide city towers in a swaying light yellow mist.
The huge contingent of envoys to Xiliang left the imperial capital in a mighty manner under the escort of hundreds of officials led by the Seventh Prince.
With Feng Zhiwei as the main envoy and the two secretaries of the cabinet as the deputy envoys, the envoy team seems to be not too regulated, but Wei Zhi's identity is famous all over the world, and he is truly the most important minister of the Celestial Dynasty. It is said that His Royal Highness King An of Dayue secretly offered a reward of one million for his head. This envoy alone is enough to give Xiliang face. After all, the one celebrating his birthday is only the Regent.
When Feng Zhiwei left the city, she didn't look back at the Imperial Capital. The carriage body shook slightly, and her expression was a little dazed. She suddenly remembered that when she went to the South China Sea as an envoy, she also left from Yongning Gate. Dijing thought that after returning, he could retreat to the countryside with his mother and younger brother.
Time flies like water, the simplest sentence, only now thinking about it, I feel bone-chillingly cold.
The convoy was not moving fast, and officials from all over the way would pick up and drop off as usual. This was a rare opportunity to curry favor with Marquis Wei. Officials from all over the place tried their best to impress Feng Zhiwei. Dongshi County on the outskirts of Beijing was delayed for two hours, so that they only walked forty miles a day and stayed at the post station in Leping Town, Dongshi County.
Gu Zhixiao has been sitting in Gu Nanyi's car obediently, playing with her cage, Feng Zhiwei doesn't care about her, after dinner at night, she practiced for a while, when passing by the room where Gu Zhixiao lives alone , saw that the light was still on, thought for a while, pushed the door and went in.
Gu Zhixiao was sitting under the lamp, gritted her teeth and was busy with her cage, her little hands were soaked by the sticks, two maidservants surrounded her and whispered advice, but she ignored her, looking at it, it can't be repaired tonight , she is not going to sleep.
Feng Zhiwei waved her hand, and the two maidservants retreated as if pardoned.
Feng Zhiwei looked at it silently for a while, and found that there seemed to be other organs in the cage. Afraid that she would accidentally touch it, she squatted down and said, "I'll fix it for you."
Gu Zhixiao paused with his busy hands, didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice, "You don't know how to do it, and I don't know how to do it either. Ah Si said, if you don't help me fix it, I can't afford to cause trouble."
Feng Zhiwei knew that Ah Si was a subordinate of Zong Chen and Gu Nanyi, who was originally in charge of information collection and delivery in Longnan, and ranked fourth. Zong Chen's organization itself was extremely mysterious, and all his subordinates had no names, only referred to by code names, and they were easily absent. Feng Zhiwei appeared beside Zong Chen, who was not very close to Zong Chen, and did not know Feng Zhiwei's identity. It is said that this is a very fine and dexterous person, and he does things very well. Back to Longnan, it happened that Feng Zhiwei was passing through Longnan on his envoy to Xiliang, because this person was familiar with the roads and southern customs, Zong Chen asked him to go with Feng Zhiwei, and was responsible for arranging attendants along the way, so that Feng Zhiwei could use it conveniently.
"Who said I can't?" Feng Zhi smiled slightly, brought the cage over, turned over the cage, touched the base several times with his fingers, and there was a "click" sound, and the bamboo strips on the top of the cage were thrown open by Gu Nanyi. , Huo Ran gathered.
Gu Zhixiao's eyes lit up, he snatched the cage with a cheer, and hugged it carefully in his arms, Feng Zhi smiled and got up, but the corner of his robe was suddenly pulled.
Lowering her eyes, a pair of small but bright eyes looked at her from bottom to top with a strange expression. Feng Zhiwei saw the question in those eyes, smiled, couldn't help but patted her head again, Gu Zhixiao He turned his head a little uncomfortably, but did not completely avoid it, and only muttered: "During the day... do you know..."
Feng Zhiwei was stunned, and then realized that this strange child was not expressing gratitude, but explaining what happened during the day, staring at his own eyes, pretending to be nonchalant, but he could still see A little nervous.
The little nervousness of wanting to be believed.
