That day and night, Yun Chi left the capital with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
After he left, there were Duke Jing, Cheng Zixiao, and Su Qingmian.
Yun Chi originally planned to leave Duke Jing in the capital, and only brought Cheng Zixiao and Su Qingmian with him. After all, these two people will be of great help to him on this trip. Cheng Zixiao is in charge of food, grass and money along the way. He and Cheng Guzhi are after all Sibling brothers, Cheng Guzhi is in charge of food and grass dispatching in the capital. Only when the two brothers understand each other can they cooperate well and prevent food and grass from making mistakes. Lingnan is mountainous, and the things made by Su Qingmian can be used for marching and fighting, especially those made by him. A large kite can fly tens of miles from the top of a mountain, which is very beneficial for raids.
But Jing Guogong personally begged, saying that there are King Anyang, An Shuli, Cheng Guzhi, the fifth prince, Mei Shuyu and others in the capital. General, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot go out to fight, he is idle in the court, not to mention, he feels that his precious sword is not old and can be used.
Yun Chi thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better for Duke Jing to follow him. Duke Jing was very good at the art of war since he was a child, and he was the best at marching and fighting. With him following, I can give him some pointers, so I took Duke Jing with me.
The military and military officials of the Korean and Chinese had no objection to this. Although they did not agree with the crown prince's personal conquest, they could not give any reason for their opposition. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is capable of writing and martial arts, so going to Lingnan in person is obviously the most necessary decision after struggling.
The Crown Princess has just been rescued, and everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is reluctant to part with the Crown Princess, and if he had to go, he would definitely not.
Huayan sent Yunchi to the outside of the city gate, and in front of a hundred thousand Jinglu soldiers and horses, bowed her hands as her princess and concubine, "The road to Lingnan is far away, please take care, Your Highness. I am the same as thousands of people in Southern Chu. I hope Your Highness is well. All officers and men, I will leave the safety of Your Highness to you after working so hard on this trip. I will still stand here to welcome you when I return to the court in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses erupted into loud shouts, "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, and the princess is thousand years old!"
Yun Chi looked deeply at Hua Yan, stepped forward, helped her up, and stretched out his arms to hug her.
With her soft body in his arms, he could clearly feel that her lower abdomen was kicked. As a husband and father, he felt a surge of reluctance, but as the prince of Nanchu, he felt a surge of reluctance. Great pride.
His woman, his child, his country, his world.
Although he has understood the responsibility on his shoulders since he was a child, but it is not as deep as this moment.
Yun Chi hugged him lightly and then heavily, and after letting go of his beauty, he got on his horse and rode away without looking back.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses followed him in an orderly manner.
Duke Jing was wearing armor, took a step forward, patted Huayan on the shoulder, and said, "You are old and need someone to take care of you. Although the servants of the Eastern Palace are dedicated, they are not reassuring. After my Highness and I leave, let Your adoptive mother can accompany you to live in the East Palace. Her Highness and I are at ease with her here."
"Okay." Huayan nodded, "Father take care, he will return safely."
"Yeah." After putting on the armor, Jing Guogong was very energetic. "I've been in the capital all these years, and I'm almost getting hairy. This time, I finally have a place to use my skills. Don't worry, I'm still looking forward to it." After the little Highness was born, I taught him the art of war."
Hua Yanxiao said, "What foster father said is true, then he will wait for you."
Duke Jing laughed.
Cheng Zixiao and Su Qingmian stepped forward, both of them were very excited, men probably like to go to the battlefield, they are full of blood, it seems that only on the battlefield can they express their pride.
Huayan saw the excitement of the two of them, and it was rare for someone to be chosen to leave with Yunchi. She smiled and said, "In the future, if you are still in court, I will prepare wine and dishes to welcome you."
"Okay." Cheng Zi smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I hope it will be soon, and we can welcome the birth of His Royal Highness together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Qingmian nodded heavily, "What Zixiao said is what I want to say."
Huayan smiled, "Take care."
The two stopped talking and turned to the door.
Hua Yan stood where she was, watching the figures of the 100,000 soldiers and horses disappear into the night, until she couldn't see them anymore, she still couldn't look back for a long time.
Nanny Fang stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Crown Princess, let's go back. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. If you catch a cold, it will be bad."
"Okay, let's go back." Huayan nodded.
Nanny Fang supported Huayan into the carriage, and the guards from the Eastern Palace escorted her back to the city.
Yun Chi left the capital without making too much noise, and had ordered early on that the court, Chinese, military and military officials were not allowed to send each other off, so as not to make the people in Beijing feel uneasy watching this battle, so even An Shuli didn't come, but Hua Yanxiang was sent outside the city gate.
Huayan was sitting on the carriage, covering her heart with her hand. During the days when Su Zizhe snatched her away, she was probably thinking about saving her life and how to get rid of Su Zizhe, so although she often thought of Yun Chi, But her heart was not empty, and now, sending him away like this, her heart felt empty, she couldn't bear to let go, she couldn't suppress the overwhelming emotions.
Even though the night in the capital is lively, it is still a bit quieter than the daytime.
Hua Yan became more and more impatient in the silence, she stretched out her hand to touch her belly, thinking that if she hadn't been pregnant, she might have become Yun Chi's burden, and she would follow wherever he went.
Nanny Fang sat in the carriage with Huayan, watching the princess's face leaving His Highness the Crown Prince, after she got into the carriage, she showed a deep reluctance, she couldn't bear to look at it, she felt extremely distressed, thinking The most difficult thing for couples in the world is probably not as difficult as His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Because they have endured too much, they seem to be as deep as the sea and as high as the sky.
She was afraid that Huayan would hurt her body if she went on like this, so she quickly said softly, "Princess Concubine, if not, I will take the Duke's wife to the East Palace to accompany you today."
Huayan raised her head, stopped her thoughts, and said softly, "Father is leaving, and mother-in-law, although she looks carefree and doesn't even come to see her off, is probably hiding at home, afraid that people will laugh at her like a little girl. Young, coupled with status, not afraid of being laughed at, so give it away as soon as you give it away."
Nanny Fang nodded, "The Duke's Mansion was originally sparsely populated, and now there is only the Duke's wife left, and it must be very lonely."
"Go and pick it up." Huayan nodded, "I have my adoptive mother who lives with me in the East Palace. She has to take care of me and divert my attention every day. I don't think there will be much time for daydreaming."
Mother Fang should be, and she gave orders to the outside of the carriage, and the carriage headed for Duke Jing's mansion.
For so many years, there has been peace in the court and China, and there has been no war. Even if there was a war in the southwest last year, it was useless for Mr. Jing Guo to go out. The wife of Mr. Jing Guo and the young couple of Mr. Jing Guo only had one son, and Lu Zhiling was a naughty child since he was a child. , do not love home, so the husband and wife have been together for many years.
Duke Jing left suddenly, and Mrs. Jing Guo was indeed a little uncomfortable.
So, although she didn't go out of the city to see her off, she walked around the yard, feeling empty in her heart, feeling that the huge Duke's Mansion had fewer servants and a simple population, and now it was even more emptiness.
She thought, she was destined to have trouble sleeping tonight. Why was she still so calm and reluctant to let go of that old man when she was old
She walked around and around, thinking that it was time to leave the city by now, and she didn't know how far she had traveled, when someone rushed to report, "Ma'am, the princess is here."
"Crown Princess" Mrs. Jing Guo immediately stopped the messy reluctance, and turned around suddenly, "It's so late, why is the Crown Princess here? What happened?" She walked out while talking.
The servant immediately said, "Go back to Madam, the Crown Princess didn't enter the mansion, she was only at the door, and sent a young man to ask Madam, saying that the Duke of the State had said before leaving that you should go to the East Palace to accompany the Crown Princess, she just came from the city. Sending His Highness the Crown Prince back, I will pick you up by the way, and ask if you can go to the East Palace today."
Madam Jingguo paused, and said without thinking, "Go, go naturally, you go and tell the Crown Princess to wait a moment, I'll clean up and go right away."
The boy should be, and immediately went to answer.
Mrs. Jing Guo hurried back to the house.
The maids and women who were close to me hurriedly helped Mrs. Jingguo tidy up, Mrs. Jingguo explained, "Go and call the housekeeper, I will give you some instructions."
One of the maids went immediately.
Not long after, the housekeeper came, Mrs. Jing Guogong told him to take care of the housekeeping and take good care of the Guogong Mansion. She was not in the mansion, so she couldn't relax. She also said that if there was something to do, she would go to the East Palace to find her. Or before His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, she may live in the East Palace.
The housekeeper responded repeatedly, he was an honest and prudent person, and suggested, "Madam, pack less things and send someone back tomorrow to pick them up. Don't make the princess wait too long."
"Yes, I know." Madam Jingguo nodded, and seeing that she had packed a few clothes, she took two personal maids out of the room.
Hua Yan didn't wait long outside Duke Jing's mansion when she saw Mrs. Jing Guo rushing in. She left in such a hurry that she broke out in sweat. Huayan lifted the curtain of the car, and said with a smile, "It's not too late, stepmother doesn't need to worry."
"That won't keep you waiting too long." Mrs. Jing Guo smiled and got into the carriage.
