Chapter 193 Return to Beijing
“I’ve suffered during this period.”
"...I'm fine, but the road is bumpy, so I'll have to rest for a few days. But I'm uncle... why did I come?"
"When you had an accident, I was already in Huazhou. I arrived in Tongguan in three days and almost exhausted my horse."
......
In the driving carriage, the little man lying on the cushion vaguely heard the man and woman talking softly. The carriage was slightly shaken, and he opened his eyes in a daze. There was a shadow next to his mother. Maybe he hadn't had a good sleep for three days, or the hand that his mother touched her face made him feel at ease, and gradually he fell asleep again.
The lights standing on the short table swayed, Bai Yunxiang touched her son's dirty little face, and she didn't dare to look at the man over there. She hadn't seen him for three years. Although she had hope in her heart, she suddenly saw him and couldn't say much.
Soon, the carriage drove into Tongguan. Zhang Huaiyi notified the guards of Guanzhong and stayed in the inn for one night. He arranged Geng Qing and his group to say goodbye.
He was just watching the show, but Qin Huaimian came to the mansion to tell him that Bai Yunxiang and Geng Nian were robbed. He left the city overnight and went to the military camp. He ordered his troops and rushed to Tongguan.
When the matter ended, he had to go back quickly and lead his troops to leave privately. The emperor had to take the blame. Although he would not do anything to him, he still had to give him face.
After all, there are 20,000 Shen Ce Army soldiers who listen to him, but his father Zhang Zhifang told him that he must take military power in his own hands.
The rest of the Shen Ce Army was in the hands of the court, only Li Ye; some were controlled by eunuchs such as Yang Fugong, Wang Zhongxian.
On the way to Tongguan, he also told Geng Qing in the car all this.
The carriage stopped, Geng Qingheng came out of the carriage with his son in his arms, looked at Zhang Huaiyi sitting on the horse's back, and told him a few words to walk slowly on the road.
The latter urged the horse to turn around and waved his hand with a smile, asking him to go to the inn to rest quickly.
"Thank you, Zhang Huaiyi, the most loyal person. Your son called me a few times. What do you have to grab your nephew back? Well, go in and rest quickly. When you come back to Chang'an, remember to hold a banquet to thank me."
Left fifty cavalry as guards, he started to attack, and rushed out of Tongguan with his horse's belly and rushed out of Tongguan with the nightfall.
"Thank you Huaiyi..."
Geng Qing held the child, but still bowed slightly in the direction where the cavalry disappeared, calmed down, and asked Dachun to park the carriage and go back to the room to rest, and go back to Chang'an early tomorrow morning.
Chen Hu, Zhao Long and Li Biao were also scolded by him and returned to the room. Geng Qing then brought the child to his room and entered the room. Her slim back was busy making the bed. When she heard that the door was closed, she turned around in fear. When she saw that it was Geng Qing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me do it."
He put Geng Nian on the bed, took off his shoes and socks and fed warm water, wiped the little man's face, and looked at his small and delicate face, which really looked like himself.
The towel wiped the little hand and put it in the mattress. Geng Qing turned his face and suddenly reached out and shaved lightly on the corner of the woman's eyes.
"You have been suffering from these three years."
Bai Yunxiang lowered her face with her fingers, her nose sucked, and she kept shaking her head and not talking. After a while, she held the man's hand and hung it down and placed it on her legs.
Geng Qing wanted to change the basin and wash her. The woman pulled him: "Uncle, don't move." She sat closer and leaned quietly. No matter how long it was, the man around her would feel safe before. It seemed that when something terrible happened, it would eventually become very safe.
"mother......"
Suddenly, the weak childish voice rang on the bed behind the two. Bai Yunxiang and Geng Qing subconsciously let go of his hands, and saw Geng Nian rubbing his eyes and sitting up in a daze.
Then... quickly got out of the bed between the two of them, ran around the house, anxiously covering their crotch as if they were looking for something.
The woman knew what it meant and was about to get up when Geng Qing next to her pressed her shoulder, "I'll go."
As he said that, he walked to the door, opened the door, and hugged the confused little man in his arms, walked to the flowerbed outside, pulled down his pants and shook a few times.
In an instant, a clear column of water shot into the grass. After a while, he put his pants on the little man and returned to the house. Geng Nian, who had just climbed onto the bed, reacted, tilted his little head and looked at his mother, and then looked at the man with a dark face in front of him.
Holding the bedding, he subconsciously spoke: "Who are you?"
Even Geng Qing was somewhat aware of this question about the child. In fact, he never thought about being a father one day. Although he knew that the child in front of him was his son, he could not just answer: "I am a father." Such words, right?
Next to her, Bai Yunxiang saw Geng Qing's embarrassing expression for the first time. She couldn't help but smile, pulled her son on the bed, and looked at Geng Qing.
"Nian'er, haven't you always missed Dad? Now that Dad is back... Why don't you recognize him?"
The little man opened his mouth slightly and stared at the man standing in front of him. Geng Qing thought he could not accept such information for a while. The next moment, Geng Nian screamed "Wow!" and crawled out of the quilt, jumped up from the edge of the bed, and threw himself into Geng Qing's arms, and he hugged him tightly as if he was octopus.
He shouted crisply: "Dad!"
Then, he started crying again, buried in Geng Qing's arms, and shouted and said a lot, such as the neighbor's friend laughing at him for not having a father, and the guests in the restaurant wanted to be his father, which made Bai Yunxiang quite embarrassed.
Geng Qing patted his back and listened quietly. He calmed down and hurried to the kitchen of the inn, ordered some snacks, and let the mother and son eat some porridge.
Afterwards, the family of three was lying on the bed. Geng Qing and Bai Yunxiang talked about their respective affairs and some experiences over the past three years, but Geng Nian was still playing around, and then fell asleep between the two.
The night gradually passed with time.
The next morning, Geng Qing put his son on his shoulder and took Bai Yunxiang to the carriage away. The little man was lively and after getting familiar with him, he even jumped up and down the team. He called Geng Dachun so comfortable, shouting that he was teaching him to drive the car. Then the woman pulled him back, crossing his legs and holding his arms quietly beside Geng Qing.
After these days of fear and hardship, the family finally reunited and spent a rare leisure time along the road to Chang'an.
...........
A group of people who were relatively full of joy, Emperor Li Ye has gotten angry several times in the past few days and broke a few flower porcelains in the study.
"......... I led the troops privately, is there any emperor I?—"
"And that Cui Yin, the prime minister, hasn't been to court for a few days... There is no one in the mansion. I asked you to sit in this position, it doesn't matter how talented you are! Dog thing!!"
He picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it hard on the ground. At this time, no one was at that time to lose his temper. When civil and military officials were in front of him, he looked different.
But he knew that the king's power could not be gathered in his hands, and these people did not dare to move easily.
When he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and exhaled, a guard outside hurriedly stood outside the door, and the sound was louder through the door.
"Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Huaiyi, the commander of the Northern Camp, has returned to the camp."
In the closed door, Li Ye narrowed his eyes and stepped on the broken porcelain on the ground, creaking and slashing, "Since I'm back... it's just right."
The emperor was silent for a moment: "Transfer the order to let Zhang Huaiyi enter the palace to see me."
Outside the door, the guards took the order and left. After a long time, the man with his upper body on his back and carrying a jingle stick on his back, walked up to the stone steps of Wenzhao Palace step by step in the eyes of the guards in the surrounding palaces and apologized to Emperor Li Ye.
