Chapter 91: Returning to the Jade Capital (Part 2)
After three days of hard work, we have arrived at the southern suburbs of Yudu.
For three days, the group traveled on horseback during the day and did not sleep in the hotel at night. Instead, they hired a carriage and closed their eyes in the carriage. The amount of time they could fall asleep was very little.
Shu'er and Lin Ying were so sleepy that they could fall asleep anytime and anywhere. They secretly complained about the Qiao brothers, who were as strong as tigers and wolves. They thought there was something urgent, so why did they rush like a march to a war?
By the Peach Blossom Stream in the southern suburbs of Yudu, the peach blossoms are in full bloom in Jiuli, and they are much more lush than the year Shu'er left.
Several people dismounted and took a rest under the peach trees to shade themselves, waiting for carriages in the city to greet them, because after entering the city, they could no longer ride on horseback.
Shu'er felt that the overwhelming fatigue and sleepiness came at the right time, because it could completely extinguish the homesickness swirling in her heart. Regardless of her image, she jumped onto a century-old peach tree and threw the King Huai Sword on it.
Under the tree, he lay down on the thick branches and fell asleep in a hurry, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm sorry, everyone. I'll take a nap first."
Qiao Ling smiled at Lin Ying and said: "Brother Yan is worthy of being the lord of the ten sects and eight sects in Xiling of Shu. Even in a place as treacherous as Yudu, you still can't change the arbitrariness of a group of people."
Lin Ying endured her sleepiness, waved her hands helplessly, and said, "That's how she is. She knows the rules, but she still wants to do whatever she wants. This is not the first time she has climbed up a tree and slept with her arms stretched out in broad daylight. Every time she finds someone else.
A flowering tree makes people look peach blossoms... Ahem, in short, we don't need to worry about her, she will sleep for a while, replenish her energy, and then she will fall down naturally. If she is not allowed to sleep well, she will have a bad temper! "
Qiao Jing looked at the Lord of Xiling in the peach blossom shadow, the richest man in the Chen Kingdom, and couldn't help but a gentle smile flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be admiration and novelty.
Qiao Ling said: "He is really big-hearted. He dares to sleep in front of his cousin. It is true that he has traveled around the world since he was a child. He has probably seen people with high mountains and rivers, and he has this feeling in his heart that he doesn't care about anything.
The charlatanism."
Lin Ying sighed: "I don't know if the serious Jade City of Song Dynasty can tolerate her ruffianism."
Qiao Jing said: "The most valuable thing about a person is that his heart remains the same. If Brother Yan is sitting upright, maybe it will be awkward for us."
The three of them chatted for a while, and after a while, two gorgeous carriages drove through the city gate.
Lin Ying walked under the tree and saw that Shu'er was smiling, as if she was sleeping sweetly. She tugged on Shu'er's sleeve and said softly: "Wake up, the carriage is coming, we have to go into the city."
Shu'er returned to her hometown and fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly she woke up, forgetting that she was on a peach tree, and fell down from the tree in a daze, hitting Lin Ying in the arms.
Lin Ying did not stand firm, and fell to the ground holding Shu'er. The peach blossoms rustled, but Lin Ying's face suddenly became redder than the petals, all the way to her ears.
Shu'er stood up in a hurry to pull him. Lin Ying lowered her head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "My foot slipped."
Shu'er was busy dusting the peach petals off the two of them, without raising her head to look at Lin Ying. She only took his wrist and turned him around, looked at his legs, feet and arms, and asked with concern: "No injuries.
Are you ready?"
Lin Ying jumped three times, strode towards the carriage, turned her back to Shu'er and said, "You actually used your weight to murder me!"
Shu'er chased after her, slapped Lin Ying on the back of her head, and said, "Who do you think is more important?"
Qiao Ling smiled softly and said to Qiao Jing: "Everyone in Chen country knows that these two cousins are a Duanxiu couple. It turns out that the Duanxiu friendship is like this."
Qiao Jing asked: "What kind?"
Qiao Ling chuckled and said, "It's so sweet."
A hint of smile flashed in Qiao Jing's eyes. Qiao Ling saw it and said happily: "Even if Brother Yan can't help your ideal of trade with Kyushu, he can at least make you more happy."
The smile in Qiao Jing's eyes flashed away, and she said sadly: "Every time I see the city gate in the southern suburbs, I will hate myself. It's another year when the peach blossoms bloom. It's been thirteen years. Do you think she can still do it?
Come back?"
Qiao Ling sighed: "If she doesn't come back, will you continue to be as cold as frost? If she comes back, she may not be able to recognize such a stern person like you. Even if she does, she will be scared away by you. You smile
Keep it open, maybe you will meet again."
Qiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Really? Am I so scary now?"
Qiao Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, those stubborn guys from the Qiao family are so scared that they are trembling and they don't dare to speak loudly anymore."
Qiao Jing sighed and walked towards the carriage. Qiao Ling followed, waving to Shu'er and Lin Ying from a distance: "Brother Yan, Brother Su, you get in the car first and go to the city inn to rest. We will come back to you at dinner time."
****
Lin Ying was catching up on her sleep in the inn, but Shu'er couldn't hide her excitement of returning to the Jade City. She left the inn and wandered on the streets. Yifeng and Qingyu had never been out of Shu. At this time, they were both following her.
Looking around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the prosperity of Jade City, the largest capital in Kyushu. Shu'er turned around and smiled: "You two follow me. Although you are overqualified and have no place to use, you can visit Chen, Zhao and Song.
He will follow us to the Chu Kingdom in some time, and he will be even more carefree and happy than His Highness the King of Shu."
Qingyu and Yifeng said in unison: "Thank you, Lord."
Shu'er was secretly proud in her heart: "I didn't expect that the 'princess' in the past has now turned into a 'lord'. Although she returned now, she did not turn into a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty as she imagined many years ago, which made me lose her.
The queen mother and queen mother who entered Yuhe looked at each other with admiration, but now that the woman is dressed as a cut-sleeve woman, she also has an arrogance that they can no longer recognize."
When Shu'er was a child, she had never visited the inner city of Jade City except for the southern suburbs market. Her memory of Jade City was only the White Jade Palace. The interior of Jade City looked like she had just arrived in Linjiang of Chu State and Fanjing of Chen State, with people coming and going.
Full of strangeness. Shu'er looked at the shops and food she had never seen before on the street. She couldn't help but gradually develop a heavy feeling of loneliness amidst the excitement of returning home. She had been thinking about the Jade Capital of the Song Dynasty for thirteen years.
In fact, I have never been familiar with it.
She walked aimlessly, people coming and going in a hurry, and she would be bumped into by people from time to time. Although Qingyu and Yifeng were following her, they were occasionally attracted by novel things on the street.
To attract attention, he would not block all the passers-by for her.
She did not blame the person who accidentally bumped into her. She thought that maybe the next person who passed by her would be her brother.
But such a small expectation is also mixed with timidity. If he sees his brother again, he is as strange as Yudu, what kind of reunion mood will it be like? Will he recognize her at a glance?
On the way back to the inn, Shu'er was just thinking blankly when a carriage passed by her and knocked her to the ground. The King Huai Sword in her hand also fell out with a snap.
Qingyu and Yifeng were buying Yudu snacks in the back. Suddenly they saw her fall. One of them was going to help her up, and the other was going to pick up the King Huai Sword. Suddenly they saw Qiao Jing and Qiao Ling running towards them. Qiao Ling shouted loudly.
