After only one day's work, Gao Yuan returned to the imperial capital and set off again with his soldiers, but Wu Tianhu and a few wet nurses were added to the casual team.
Wu Guanhai watched them go away and looked back at his wife, feeling helpless.
The latter said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. From the first day I married you, I said that I will be wherever you are from now on. If you are the emperor, I will be your queen. If you go to war next, I will be your queen." You beat the drum and raise the knife!"
"Then we can't let the child lose his mother." Wu Guanhai sighed.
The woman's eyes turned red and she said, "I'm sorry."
"Nonsense, girls are pretty good too."
Taking the woman's hand and holding it tightly, Wu Guanhai smiled warmly, "Apart from Jing Guo, I will be satisfied if I marry you, really."
Queen Jingguo smiled with tears, and also held her husband's hand tightly, even though the end of the world was approaching.
But as long as there are people around you, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Zhao Kang, who was in Qian State, did not know that there would be a big change in Jing State.
Although he was in the imperial capital, he did not go to court at all during this period. Before he was ready for the expedition, the only thing on his mind was the epidemic.
But under Xiao Xuance's horrifying operations, Bingzhou was completely turned into a dead zone, and people nearby could only see heavily armed soldiers burning corpses every day.
This has also caused the spread of the epidemic to slow down, and basically no infected people have been reported elsewhere.
This should be true.
Because Xiao Xuance had issued a death order, if someone was found to be sick but did not report it, the local officials would be arrested together, implicating the nine clans.
As soon as this order comes out, if anyone dares to deceive him, he might just solve it himself when he finds out.
Of course, this also led to a lot of negative comments among the people about the Emperor of Qian Kingdom.
Not everyone is a fool. What kind of lightning strikes the city, and what kind of outrageous things have to be done in order to succeed?
Let all the cities in a state be bombed?
As a result, many messages have been posted among the public.
In private, the emperor of the Qian Kingdom was described as a demon tyrant who poisoned the people of the world.
However, the person involved may not have any reaction after hearing this.
After confirming that no new infected persons were found anywhere, Zhao Kang left the epidemic prevention center set up to deal with the epidemic.
Return home.
Zhao Fugui was lying on the small table writing the homework he had assigned. There was nothing he could do about it, as primary schools all over the country were still closed.
As soon as Zhao Kang saw this kid leading Xiao Zhenbang to play in the mud, climb trees and catch bugs all day long.
He was scratched all over and felt very uncomfortable.
So I directly gave my son an assignment, and even the prince Xiao Zhenbang didn't miss it.
So much so that now the little prince has grown from admiring and admiring his eldest uncle to hating him now.
He came and took away all my happiness!
Zhao Kang was very pleased to see the little guy writing in a precise manner. This child was very good and smart.
There is absolutely no need for any tutoring on your own.
When someone came in, the little guy raised his head and sweetly called out "Wu Niang."
"Be good and do your homework."
Cao Bailu gave instructions and then came to Zhao Kang, who took him into his arms.
Cao Bailu sighed, and Zhao Kang whispered, "Is there no progress?"
"Except for the ancestral records and manuscripts left by the Cao family, I didn't find any clues in the Zhou Dynasty. I asked some of the original managers of the academy, but they all knew nothing about it."
"Then it's Yunxiu, we have some clues."
"How do you say that?" Zhao Kang asked quickly.
Cao Bailu said softly, "The letter sent back by Mr. Zhang Sheng mentioned that Yunxiu was raised by the previous dean of the academy."
"She was regarded as the granddaughter of the previous dean, but the old dean has passed away. Fortunately, there are still several disciples alive, and one of them is in the imperial capital."
"Who is it?" Zhao Kang asked.
"This man's name is Zhan Gong. It is said that he has been punting boats in Yan Lake all year round." ??
Listening to Cao Bailu's words, Zhao Kang couldn't help but think of a person he had seen before.
At that moment, he quickly stood up, told Xiao Fugui, and took Cao Bai out the door.
Yanhu.
Zhao Kang came twice, once with Ye Hongxue and once with Gongsun Yunxiu.
Only then did he remember that the man who punted Gongsun Yunxiu's boat was also the boatman who punted his boat when he first came to Yan Lake.
The other party also said at that time to let go of greed and delusion and cherish the people in front of you.
Looking at the boatman sitting alone on the bow docked on the shore, the other party also looked over and smiled, "Prince Zhao, long time no see. Is this the third time we have met?"
Zhao Kang hummed.
The boatman sighed with emotion, "The first time, you came as the national teacher of Qian Kingdom. The second time, you became the King of Zhao of Qian Kingdom."
"At that time, Jiang Xiaotian, Tang Hao and a few other old guys wanted to cause trouble at the new emperor's ceremony, but my young lady stopped them."
"In total, the lady has been away for three or four years. Does Prince Zhao know where she has gone?"
Zhao Kang fell silent, and then raised his head after a moment: "She is dead."
The boatman was stunned, looking straight at Zhao Kang, "How did you die?"
Zhao Kang did not hide anything and told the whole story, finally saying, "Are you Zhan Gong? A disciple of the previous dean of the academy?"
The boatman nodded slightly, and Zhao Kang quickly said, "I want to know everything about Yunxiu."
"Let's get on the boat." Zhan Gong stood up, picked up the punting pole, and glanced at the jade flute pinned to Zhao Kang's waist.
The boat sailed slowly on the lake, and Zhan Gongyuan also fell into memories.
"It must have been twenty-nine years ago. My teacher Gongsun Fu took a group of our disciples to travel around the world. When passing through Jiangzhou of the Qian Kingdom, he picked up a young lady in a dilapidated house."
Zhan Gongyuan gestured, "Such a big baby, lying on the floor of the broken house with nothing on her body, looks like she was just born. It's windy and rainy outside, but she doesn't cry or fuss."
"The look in the lady's eyes at that time is unforgettable. In my teacher's words, the look in the lady's eyes when she was still a baby did not have the innocent look of a newborn, but was just indifferent."
Cao Bailu said hurriedly, "Are you sure you picked it up in Jiangzhou? That place in Jiangzhou?"
Zhan Gongyuan nodded "OK."
Then he frowned and thought, "What is that place called Yuanyang House?"
"Yuanyangcuo!" Cao Bailu exclaimed.
"What did you think of?" Zhao Kang asked quickly.
"Yuanyangcuo is the ancestral home of the Cao family. Because of Cao Jianjia's bloodbath, the Cao family hid their whereabouts for more than two hundred years. However, the family's archives clearly record the location of the ancestral home."
Zhao Kang quickly looked at Zhan Gongyuan, "Senior, has Yunxiu ever mentioned Cao Jianjia and the like since he was a child?"
Zhan Gongyuan thought for a while and shook his head, "No, I'm sure of this."
"Why?"
Zhan Gongyuan said softly, "Because Miss, she has been quite strange since she was a child."
