Chapter 437
"Yes!" Kong Ji's face was instantly serious, but his bright eyes betrayed his heart.
He immediately packed his luggage excitedly.
He didn't want to find any elixir of immortality. He stayed in this mountain village all day long, and the northwest was what he wanted. Now that he was finally able to get out of trouble, how could he not be excited?
Kong Wei sat at the wooden table and immediately took out the map and memorials he had compiled in recent days and put them on the date.
As soon as he finished writing, he lowered his voice and shouted coldly, "Who?"
Hai Dongqing immediately flapped his wings and flew away.
The door was knocked soon, Kong Ji got up and opened the door, and then saw Chen Zhao standing at the door.
"It's quite keen." Kong Wei raised his eyes and glanced at him, then put the things on the table in his arms.
Seeing their posture, Chen Zhao couldn't help asking: "General is leaving?"
"Well, I've lived for a long time and it's time to leave." Kong Wei replied.
Chen Zhao couldn't help looking outside. According to the position of the moon in the sky, it was the fourth update now. Why was it so anxious that he left before dawn?
Kong Wei looked at him and said, "Since you are awake, I won't leave a letter to explain it. I will say yes to your grandma tomorrow. In addition, I originally said to teach you how to ride a archery for two more days, but it's not done now. You have good archery practices, and after correcting your posture, you will be able to shoot further and more forcefully. As for riding a horse... If you have the chance in the future, learn more."
Chen Zhao pursed his lips and nodded.
Kong Ji had already packed up his things quickly and immediately said, "General, okay."
Kong Wei nodded, looked at Chen Zhao, and then said, "We will meet in the imperial capital in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and raised the sword on the table and said to Kong Ji: "Let's go."
The two of them walked lightly and quickly left the yard quietly. After a while, there seemed to be a sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Chen Zhao looked at the full moon in the sky and looked at the empty room. After standing for a while, he blew out the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to rest again.

The next morning, Gu Pozi's family learned about Kong Wei and his family leaving overnight.
"I'm leaving so urgently, I'm afraid there is something urgent?" Mrs. Gu frowned.
Mei replied: "No, I can't even eat mooncakes this Mid-Autumn Festival."
Gu Qiao gave out a long sigh and said comfortably: "I finally left. I feel that the air seems to have become particularly sweet!"
After saying that, she took a deep breath.
When Gu Pozi and Mei saw her appearance, they were helpless and the family began to get busy.
Because I had to move, chickens and ducks must also be dealt with, so I killed a chicken today to make soup.
Chen Zhao went to fish in the fish pond in front of the door again. Gu Qiao was going to dig lotus roots, but he was afraid of leeches, so he stole his work and said he was helping him watch the fishing rod and asked him to help dig lotus roots.
Chen Zhao then took the basket from her hand, turned around and walked around the ridge of the field, then took off his shoes and socks and went down to the field.
The sunlight in the early morning of August is not too sunny, and it spreads warmly on your body.
Gu Qiao sat on a low stool, with her elbows against her knees, and couldn't help but hold her cheeks with her hands. Her eyes passed over the fishing rod in front of her and the tasty lotus leaves in the field, and looked at the boy in the fish pond.
The boy's trousers were tied up high, and his legs were deeply trapped in the mud, but he was not slow to move.
His sleeves were also rolled up high, revealing his strong arms, and then he bent down and touched something in the water.
After a while, he reached both hands into the mud, pulled them up with a little force, then stirred them in the mud, and then pulled out a piece of lotus root as thick as a human arm, throwing them out so casually into the air.
The lotus root passed by the air with water droplets, and then fell into the cushion on the ridge of the field with extremely accurate accuracy, and the cushion even shook.
The glitter in Gu Qiao's eyes also shook, and the curve of the corners of his lips became deeper and deeper.
But with a smile, she couldn't help but withdraw her eyes and fell on the fishing rod in front of her.
The fishing rod remained motionless, and there was no sign of fish taking the bait.
Seeing this fishing rod, she couldn't help but think of Mei Chongling.
Mei Chongling took her to support bamboo rafts in the Golden River, fishing and watching the scenery. In such a life, he has never been there since he went to Ruling City.
Now that my family is also moving to Ruling City, will the days of digging lotus roots and fishing like today be gone forever?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Is going to the city the life she wants?
It doesn't seem to be.
Moreover, she also wants to carry forward the pickled vegetables!
In the flash of lightning, she suddenly thought of something, got up immediately, walked forward and ran towards the yard.
Shen Zhao raised her head in surprise, but could only see her back running into the yard.

Gu Qiao ran straight to the kitchen door, stepped over the door and supported directly on the chopping board. He looked up and said to Mrs. Gu who was kneading the dough: "Grandma, General Kong only said that we would move, but he didn't say that we must move to Ruling City!"
Mrs. Gu paused her hands as she kneaded the dough, and Gu Qiao's voice continued to sound, like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"Can we buy a piece of land around Ruling City, build a farm, or something? It's similar to the house we live in now, and we can also plant trees, raise flowers, raise chickens and ducks. And our family has saved money to rebuild the main house? Even if the money is not enough, General Kong still has money left? Right?"
Because of excitement, her cheeks became red and her eyes were shining with light.
When Mrs. Gu saw her shiny eyes, she knew how much she was looking forward to this so-called "farm".
"Grandma, how boring is it to be crowded in the city? And the houses in the city are expensive. Besides, our family still has to do business. There must be a braised pond for making pickled vegetables and a place to put jars. Our shop is not good. You may not be much better if you buy a house, right?" Gu Qiao said immediately.
Seeing this, Mei was afraid that Mrs. Gu would feel uncomfortable when she talked about moving, so she quickly scolded and said, "You kid, I think it's time to go out. This is Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't mention moving."
Gu Qiao pouted and said a little aggrievedly: "I suddenly thought of this idea and think it's very good, so I want to share it with you."
"It's indeed a good idea." Mrs. Gu nodded and then laughed.
This smile actually had a bit of a sense of clouds falling away.
"Grandma, do you think it's good, too?"
"You can think carefully, where is your lotus root?"
"Lotus? Oh, I'll get it now. Grandma, you must think carefully!" Gu Qiao said, and immediately ran out of the door with a smile.
"Mom, Qiao'er said it simply. How can you buy a piece of land and build a house so lightly?" Mei sighed and said again, "I am becoming more and more arrogant. I don't know what I will be like in the future if I spoil her like this?"
Mrs. Gu smiled and didn't say anything.
Mei Shi was surprised, "Mom, you are not really considering what Qiaoer said, right?"
