The fact that Lu Chongming was going to lead the army to go out to the expedition was known to all civil and military officials in the court, and the servants in the mansion had already been given orders, but Gu Xichao, who was closest to him, was the last one to know about it.
Originally, it was nothing, he just packed his things and then left. He didn't forget that because of the matter of Cai Siniang, he still made a note in Lu Chongming's heart. Although the other party didn't mention it after that, he didn't. He would think that his father had really forgotten.
I'm afraid that there are too many things in the court, and he hasn't freed up his hands, so these days he has been trying to behave obediently, he knows that Lu Chongming likes his obedient appearance.
However, he didn't expect that Lu Chongming didn't want to take him with him.
Hearing the words conveyed by the old housekeeper, Gu Xichao swiped and threw all the clothes he was tidying up to the ground, while he himself, under the eyes of the servants, ran out like the wind.
He ran very fast, he had already used his lightness kung fu, his flexible body was as light as a swallow, and he almost passed by without touching the ground.
If Bai Mingmo saw it, he would definitely praise himself for teaching well.
When Gu Xichao saw Lu Chongming, he was sitting in the room meditating, his handsome eyebrows flying diagonally were tightly knit together.
Gu Xichao was panting, his heart was beating violently, and under the surprised gaze of the other party, he hit his arms like an arrow.
Although very angry and very angry, the hand holding his skirt was tightly clenched.
Lu Chongming sighed and patted the boy's flexible back soothingly. He could clearly feel the heat coming from his arms.
"Don't leave me alone." A muffled voice came from between the skirts, as if it was squeezed out of the throat.
Lu Chongming didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer, the only thing he could do was to hold his arms tighter.
He didn't hear the comforting voice he wanted to hear, Gu Xichao was a little flustered, he quickly raised his head, and said anxiously: "Are you still not agreeing? Why? You can bring your family members in the military camp, and I promise I won't mess with you again." Trouble."
Lu Chongming carefully traced his delicate eyebrows, and said: "I will leave the old housekeeper and Mr. Bai to you, and discuss everything with them on weekdays. Don't be willful anymore."
The dark pupils narrowed slightly, Gu Xichao pushed him away suddenly, stood up straight and said: "After all, you still don't want to take me away with you, why? It's because I ruined your future wife's appearance, So you don't want me anymore, so you left me alone in the Gu mansion?"
Lu Chongming raised his eyebrows, patted his forehead, and said, "Didn't you say that that matter has nothing to do with you?"
Gu Xi opened her mouth, raised her chin, and stopped talking.
Lu Chongming shook his head helplessly, stretched out his arms, and hugged the young boy's soft body in his arms again.
"Xiao Gu," Lu Chongming put his chin against the top of his head, and said softly, "You wait for me, I will come back to pick you up one day."
Gu Xichao, who was still struggling at first, gradually calmed down, his voice was full of grievances, "Why don't you just let me leave with you, I don't like this place, I don't want to stay in Gu's mansion alone."
A trace of sharpness flashed across the dark eyes, "You won't be in Gu's mansion, the prime minister's mansion will send someone to pick you up." After a pause, Lu Chongming continued: "I'm sorry, after all, I still couldn't hold back and took this muddy trip. Water, but you are tired."
Gu Xichao is not an ordinary boy, he is very smart, although he is a little emotional now, he still quickly grasped something from the other party's words, but before he could ask, someone came to report, It is said that the person sent by the prime minister's mansion to pick him up has arrived.
It seems that Cai Jing really can't wait, is he afraid that people will run away?Lu Chongming was displeased, but he said patiently, "Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a den of dragons and tigers, it is not far behind. You should be careful in everything inside, and it is right to keep a low profile and protect yourself."
Gu Xichao felt more and more that things were not easy, but didn't he have a good relationship with Cai Jing?The two families are about to get married, so why are they suddenly on guard again?
Although he was full of questions, he didn't get any answers. He simply packed a few pieces of clothes and was hurriedly sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Chongming watched the carriage disappear. He stood alone at the gate for a long, long time. The sun set and cast a long shadow on the ground.
Leaving aside the task, he raised the young man for three full years, and more or less developed feelings for him. Now, how could he be willing to send him to an old fox as a hostage, but there was nothing he could do.
Until this moment, he, who had been drifting with the crowd, suddenly understood the value of power. Could it be because Cai Jing's official position was higher than his, so he could easily snatch Xiao Gu away, but he couldn't even resist at all?
Lu Chongming's gaze gradually became sharper, and his brows were full of murderous aura.
He has already waded through this muddy water, so why not go to the end!
On the third day after the imperial decree was issued, Lu Chongming led the army and left Bianliang. The civil and military officials saw him off in person. The emperor did not come because he fell ill again. It will be fine.
On the day Lu Chongming left Beijing, Gu Xichao did not go to see him off. In the prime minister's mansion, he hugged his knees and sat on the stone steps without looking dirty at all, dazed.
It is late autumn now, and the yellow leaves are blown by the wind, swirling and falling from the branches, like flying butterflies.
Countless dead leaves fell on the ground that had just been cleaned by servants in the morning, and some even fell between his long hair.
Gu Xichao's life in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not too bad, there was a separate courtyard, and there were servants dedicated to serving him. Although Mrs. Xiangguo still had a bit of grudge against him because of Siniang's affairs, but for Lu Chongming's sake , but he didn't make it too difficult for him, instead he beat the people in the mansion to serve him carefully. ,
In two days, he only met Lu Chongming once, and it was a simple meal without saying a few words.
"Since you are reluctant, why don't you go see him for the last time?" A sudden voice came from behind him.
Gu Xichao didn't even turn his head, silent like a statue.
Bai Ming Mo Shi calmly sat down beside him, the hem of his white clothes was stained with dust, but he didn't care at all, but said softly: "If you go now, there is still time, you really don't want to go?"
Gu Xichao rolled his eyes in disarray, "So what, it's impossible to leave with him anyway."
Tsk, Bai Mingmo laughed teasingly, "If you don't go, then don't go, as long as you don't regret it in the future."
Do you regret it?Gu Xi's face is full of calmness that doesn't match his age. In fact, there is nothing to regret. Going to see him only adds to his reluctance, but the result doesn't change at all. If so, it's better not to see him.
Bai Mingmo looked at him, suddenly thoughtful, "You seem to have changed."
"What changed?" Gu Xichao raised an eyebrow.
"Grow up." He has also matured, without the usual self-willedness.
"You said it," Gu Xichao said indifferently, "I can't get anything by being childish and self-willed. Now that my father is gone, no one will see me even if I act coquettishly and self-willed."
Bai Mingmo tilted his head, "You can act like a baby and show me, I don't mind."
"I mind." Gu Xichao stood up, raised his chin and said, "Only my father can make me obedient, who are you?"
Said he had left directly.
What he said was not polite at all, but Bai Mingmo didn't care, and asked leisurely behind him with his chin in his hand: "What are you doing?"
"Practice!"
The half-grown boy looked resolute. Since his father asked him to wait, he just waited until the day he couldn't wait any longer, he would leave directly and go to the army to find him in person.
As for Cai Jing, hum!Those who separate him from his father are not good people, and he will never let it go like this!
……
Lu Chongming brought [-] forbidden troops to the capital and left with him. In his opinion, although the [-] forbidden troops were well-equipped and known as the elite divisions of the Song Dynasty, they were nothing more than that.
There is no murderous look, no vigor, at best it looks good on the outside, and it is not bad to be the emperor's guard of honor, but if you really want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they are simply a group of carrots waiting to be chopped down by the golden men.
The army needed some fine-tuning, and luckily he was no stranger to it.
Under the bright sun, the armor was dense, and the black iron armor formed a huge torrent with no end in sight, winding forward.Lu Chongming rode on horseback and took one last look at the tall and majestic city gate of Bianliang. From the day he entered Beijing in a carriage to today's departure, he stayed there for less than half a year. It is true that people are suffocating.
Bianliang's flashy, extravagant, extravagant luxury, if it was a little novel to him at the beginning, it made him even more disgusted later on.
The corruption of the court, the foolishness of the emperor, and the greed of the officials, Lu Chongming has been watching with cold eyes. In fact, he didn't even want to see it, but his identity made him unable to avoid it, so he could only stand like a wooden man in the court , Watching the ridiculous and absurd drama unfolding in front of my eyes.
This time he will participate in this matter, apart from other reasons, the most fundamental thing is for himself, he wants to leave!
How cruel the Jin people are and how dangerous the battlefield is, in his opinion, they are much better than the dirty and rotten quagmire of the court, not to mention that he is just doing his own job.
But what he didn't expect was that Cai Jing would show such a trick at the last moment, which made him worry about his original intention to go far away, and he couldn't turn around and leave cleanly.
He knew that he would come back one day, whether he liked it or not.
"Master Gu!" A low coughing sound came from afar, as if it was ringing in someone's ear clearly.
Lu Chongming was surprised. He followed the voice and saw the sick and weak young man in white and blue scarf at a glance.
Although he could easily bypass the soldiers' obstruction, the young man did not do that. Instead, he stood there and smiled at Lu Chongming. The faint smile was like the breeze blowing through the treetops in early spring.
Lu Chongming waved away the blocking soldiers, took two steps forward on his horse, and stood still in front of the young man.
"Why did you come?" He asked condescendingly.
"Come to see the adults for a ride." Su Mengzhen raised her head slightly, the brilliance in her eyes was more dazzling than the sun.
Lu Chongming smiled, with a warm smile.
Originally, it was nothing, he just packed his things and then left. He didn't forget that because of the matter of Cai Siniang, he still made a note in Lu Chongming's heart. Although the other party didn't mention it after that, he didn't. He would think that his father had really forgotten.
