Chapter 103 Who doesn't want to return home
The sun is shining, the carriages and horses are shining. There is a piece of green everywhere in the fields on both sides of the official road, and the air is filled with a refreshing smell of grass and trees. If you ignore the fully armed soldiers around you and just look at this excited little face in June, Xu Bai feels even more like he is on a youth outing.
Even during the itinerary, His Highness Yi could not help but suffer from his two-hour class every day. At this time, Xu Bai must have "no free time" to listen to Shang Lu's teaching with King Yi. In such a large convoy, although there are military guards, he is the head of the guard and has a lot of things to be busy with.
Of course, the little princess of June must not have taken his tricks. The last time she came back from Nanjing, she rushed along the way. June's mood was a world of difference from her mood at this time. Moreover, the last time she returned to Beijing was a waterway, but this time, she went straight out of the capital and took the dry road to Zhongdu, which was a completely different scenery.
There are so many new things on the road.
"I heard that you have been promoted, how old are you? You have become the politeness of the Jinyiwei?"
"Just just now, the official in green clothes kept looking at me secretly. Did he see something? Should you send someone to warn him!"
"By the way, Cao Jixiang said that the people sent to protect me in the palace are very capable. If you want to call them, don't be polite at all. Just say what I said. If they dare to be perfunctory, I will complain to Cao Jixiang!"
June's little head stretched out from the window of the carriage, and said nothing to Xu Bai outside the carriage. Most of the time it was she who said it, and occasionally Xu Bai responded. In the eyes of others, it seemed that Xu Bai was a little disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Princess, but June did not think anything was wrong, and even thought it was normal.
"You have family in Nanjing. Do you want to take them to the capital when you go back this time? But it is not easy to buy a house in the capital for your salary. Do you want to tell the King of Yi?"
"Why don't you think about your own affairs?" Xu Bai couldn't stand the girl's 100,000 questions, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, King Yi, told me that you are going to Nanjing for a blind date this time. Which young men are you? Should I send someone to check you out and see if they have any bad deeds in normal times!"
There was no sound in the carriage. Xu Bai turned his head and saw that even Liu Yue's little head, which was lying outside the car window, shrank back. He smiled slightly and walked towards the front.
There were many chariots and horses of King Yi and the accompanying personnel, plus the guards, there were 500 or 600 people. Xu Bai was responsible for the guards of King Yi, and he ignored other matters. He also had Shen Yun and his group of people working on contact with other officials. If nothing unexpected happens, he was probably one of the most leisurely people in this industry.
Hundreds of imperial guards were guarding each dozens of miles along the road, and the place where the convoy settled was also in the local county and prefecture. He really couldn't think of any other accidents along the way.
The emperor's travel was already told to the world in the emperor's decree. Obviously, what the emperor wants is the effect of wasteful people and damages money.
However, this effect brings that the speed of the trip becomes extremely slow. It is already fast to walk thirty or fifty miles a day. Sometimes, it is even twenty or thirty miles a day. It is not surprising to arrive in Zhongdu at this speed, and it takes two months.
Xu Bai was a little anxious. When he left Beijing, he had asked someone to bring the news back to Nanjing and told Baili's father and daughter that he was about to come back. From a boy who was an unknown boy when he left Nanjing to now being a governor of the Jinyiwei, he was definitely a fourth-rank military officer. With such an identity, he could be considered a return home in glory!
If he is like this, if he marry Baili Susu and Bailiqi will still have to snatch his beard and stare at him, then he will have no other way than to steal the bride.
I have been away from Nanjing for so long, and it would be a bit pretentious if I say that he doesn't miss Baili Susu.
"grown ups!"
Outside the carriage of King Yi, Qin Ji and Qin Yuanyuan were talking about something. From time to time, a chuckling came. Seeing him coming, Qin Yuanyuan put away his smile and signaled to say hello.
"Is Mr. Shang still teaching today?" He looked at the sky: "It's almost noon!"
Shang Lu's slightly clear voice came from the slowly moving carriage beside him. Qin Ji smiled at Xu Bai: "The time is almost over!"
"The Daming Mansion has sent someone to welcome the prince. When the prince's schoolwork is completed, we will see how the prince decides. Daming Mansion is a lively place. The prince is exhausted all the way and said he wants to rest here for two days!"
Qin Ji said kindly. He had a very good impression of Xu Bai. Now his nephew followed Xu Bai and had not done anything, he was already a hundred households of the Jinyiwei. This made him even more pleasing to Xu Bai. As long as the matter of King Yi was not a taboo, he didn't need Xu Bai to ask questions, and often started chatting on his own initiative.
"I need to rest again!" Xu Bai's face became bitter, "How many days will it take?"
"Your Highness is still young after all, so it's not easy to come out this time. It's always good to understand the sufferings of the people!" Qin Ji said to the chariots and horses of the accompanying court officials sitting behind him, "They have to rest, too. Commander Xu doesn't know that they have spent a lot of money to come out with our prince. When they get to the place, they can't find some reasons to make a fuck!"
"If this continues, when will we reach Zhongdu?" Xu Bai wailed, and then he arrived at Daming Mansion, and he had not even arrived one-third of the journey!
"Why, is Commander Xu very anxious?" Qin Ji asked with some concern: "Even Your Majesty does not have a limited time. When will it arrive in Zhongdu, there will naturally be a ceremony for the imperial prison in Zhongdu to choose a day. I don't care about the days that are there!"
"Don't worry!" Xu Bai waved his hand quickly: "It's just that he's so slow every day, he's a little bored!"
"Xu Bai, come up!" The curtain of the carriage beside him lifted up, and King Yi's little face showed: "Mr. Shang has finished his teaching, I have something to ask you!"
"Yes!" Xu Bai nodded and got into the car: "What are the instructions for the prince!"
The carriage of King Yi was like a walking room. In the room, Shang Lu put down the books in the book and was slowly drinking tea. Xu Bai nodded with a smile. He didn't ask the other party what he taught to King Yi today.
