Chapter 26 Xiongcheng, I haven't seen you for a long time

Ning Que woke up, his eyes were full of panic, and he pulled away his clothes, and his hands were nervously groping on his chest. He only touched the sweaty sweat with one hand. I patted my chest, and I took a long time for a long time to make it slowly.

He looked at Sang Sang, who was sleeping on his feet, and looked at the cute sweat bead on the tip of the little girl's black nose beam. Suddenly, it was a very happy thing to live alive.

Regarding the weird dream that brought him a big fear, he was not ready to tell Sang Sang that he was not ready to tell anyone, because even if he only remembered a scene in a dream, he would feel uncomfortable, so he decided to forget.

The next day, the humble carriage set off in the sound of the squeak of the friction, far from the growing escort cavalry to continue south as the increasingly louder escorting cavalry team stopped at about ten o'clock in the morning, the team stopped in a small town outside Chang'an City ——In the messenger, the representatives of the government, and the complicated princess ceremony from the palace from the capital, have been waiting for the return of the princess in this town a few days ago.

Ning Que jumped out of the car, standing on the edge of the lively team, looking at the town outside the sky. You can see a dark -colored city shadow, but the distance is a bit far away. The dark -colored shadow has become clearer, and can only guess silently in my heart -where should it be Changan?

The vast and complicated ceremony slowly started moving forward again, and this time no one called out to the master and servant to go together.

Ning Que and Sang Sang stood by the roadside, looking at the luxurious carriage slowly passing in front of them, looking at the closed windows, thinking about the princess inside and the tiger-headed little barbarian prince, thinking of that Fire, couldn't help but touch his face, and then smiled.

When the fourth carriage passed by them, a corner of the curtain was lifted. Lu Qingchen, an old man, gently stroked his gray beard under his chin and smiled at Ning Que, who was standing by the road. Ning Que bowed deeply to the ground and returned the salute.

When the guards and those prairie barbarians passed by Ning Que, they didn't dismount. They said goodbye on horseback with an apologetic smile on their faces. The empire's guard of honor was strict. Peng Guotao, the leader of the guards, thought he had a good future after returning to Chang'an, but At this time, he did not dare to make any mistakes in front of officials from the DPRK and China. As for those grassland barbarians, after bidding farewell to Ning Que with fists clasped in arms, the expressions on their faces became obviously much more relaxed and happy. There was no longer any shadow of the woodcutter in Subi Lake around them, and the prosperous day in Chang'an they imagined suddenly became Be alive and happy.

The Gushan County cavalry in charge of the rear looked at the surroundings with vigilance and walked with one hand holding the rein. Their leader, Captain Hua Shanyue, glanced at Ning Que and then speeded up. It seemed that this person did not exist at all. Maybe he really I have forgotten the existence of this little person.

Ning Que shouldn't care about the other party's attitude - when he entered Chang'an City, the other party was the son of a powerful man and the most outstanding figure in the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty military. But now that he has lost his military status, he is just a commoner at the lowest level. If he is lucky enough to enter the academy , is nothing more than an inconspicuous brick in the imperial bureaucracy. No matter how you look at it, he will no longer be related to Captain Hua Shanyue, who once showed hostility and even murderous intentions.

But would he be willing to let his life pass like this? He would not give in, so he knew very well that there would be a day when he and the proud young general would meet again, and that day should not be too far away.

After the princess chariot and the escorting cavalry left, the number of people in the town suddenly decreased by more than half, but it became much more lively than before. The small merchants and hawkers who had not dared to come out to set up stalls emerged from unknown streets and alleys. , those shops that had closed their doors to avoid trouble also reopened their doors and began to seize the time to run their businesses.

Ning Que sold the tattered carriage to a shop in the town that even had to collect tatters at a tattered price. Ning Que patted Sangsang's thin shoulder to express his comfort. The old carriage and horse had followed them in Weicheng for many years, and they sold it like this. Everyone must be a little reluctant to leave, but the city of Chang'an is right in front of us, and it is not a very appropriate emotion to recall it sentimentally.

There was no choice of a spacious official road that could accommodate eight carriages running side by side. The two of them strolled along the field ridges beside the official road. The cauliflower in the fields beside them was in full bloom, and butterflies were slowly flapping their wings in the spring breeze. Annoying bees kept buzzing around, and the tears in the corners of the little maid's eyes gradually dried up. She held the tie of the package tightly with both hands, dragging the package that seemed larger than her body, and walked along the field ridge to look at it. Smiling occasionally.

Under the sun, Ning Que took the heavy package and chatted and joked with the little maid. Although he often didn't get a response, he still enjoyed it. His eyes greedily passed over the farmland and countryside around him, looking at the nearby fields. The farmer resting in the field waved to say hello, and when he saw the butterfly flying in front of him, he made a gesture to pounce.

He left Chang'an when he was very young, and since then he has spent time in the vast Min Mountains, grassland wastelands, and small border towns. There are only sinister dense forests, boring grasslands, and dangers everywhere around him. Now he has returned to the belly of the empire. Seeing these peaceful and peaceful scenery life, I can't hide my joy and excitement.

After about two or three hours of looking forward, the shadow suddenly spread from the peach forest in front of them to the top of their heads. Ning Que thought that it was not yet nightfall, and there was no sign of rain when he looked at the sky before... …

He looked up in confusion, and saw a black city wall suddenly appearing in front of him. This city wall was so high that it seemed to have no end, covering half of the sky and the blazing sun that had not yet set. Looking at it intently, he could vaguely see I saw three black spots circling and flying in the air high above the city wall.

I couldn't see the end of the city wall when I looked to the left, and I couldn't see the end of the city wall when I looked to the right. This huge city outline couldn't be seen for how many miles in its circumference, and it stood silently between heaven and earth. Sangsang stared at the majestic city in front of him with wide eyes, looked at the crowds of people on the official road not far away, and asked, "Is this Chang'an City?"

The three black spots in the sky flew lower. It turned out that they were two eagles practicing flying with their children. At this time, they were about to return to their eagle nests, and their nests were between the mottled city walls. The city wall has been washed and weathered by thousands of years of rain, and the surface looks a bit tattered, but the inside of the city wall is still indestructible.

The young eagle learned to fly and then returned to its nest - Ning Que looked up at the most majestic city in the world with a sincere smile on his face. He had been traveling for many years and finally returned today.

Chang'an City, long time no see.
