The city gate has been opened, and a long column of carriages slowly exited the city gate.
It took half an hour from the first carriage to the last carriage passing the city gate.
The accompanying guards of the feudal lord were riding horses and carrying long knives on their waists, looking majestic. A small half led the way, others guarded the sides of the convoy, and the rest followed behind.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu, who is handsome and charming, rides a BMW and "moves" slowly beside the first carriage.
To describe it as moving is not an exaggeration at all.
When a vassal king leaves the capital, he has his own ritual guards and regulations. It is impossible to ride a horse at a high speed. No matter how good the journey is, the sweaty horse can only move forward slowly.
There was no shortage of people in the capital who loved to join in the fun, and many of them got up early to watch the fun. Everyone crowded at the city gate, stretched their heads to look around, and marveled.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has established a vassal state. What a huge battle! There are so many carriages that I can hardly count them."
"Isn't that right? I don't know how many good things are packed in this carriage."
"There are also accompanying personal guards, all of whom look tall, strong and energetic."
"What's so strange about this? A vassal king becomes a vassal, that's how grand he is. Officials and other kings will come to see him off later, so just wait and see the excitement!"
…
The whispers of the common people could not reach Sheng Hong's ears.
In order to prevent assassins or accidents, the people were blocked inside the city gate. They were a thousand meters away from Sheng Hong. He was surrounded by personal guards, protecting him and Xie Mingxi's carriage.
On such occasions, it doesn't matter whether the female family member shows up or not.
Xie Mingxi sat in the carriage with peace of mind, holding her seven-month-old daughter in her arms.
When Ah Luo was in a restless mood, she was lying in her mother's arms, quite unsteady and calm. She would wave her arms and legs from time to time, babbling and shouting.
Gu Shanchang saw this and felt quite distressed. He stretched out his arms and hugged A-Luo: "A-Luo doesn't like lying down, she likes to sit. It's better for me to hold her."
Commander Gu Shanzhang stayed by A Luo's side all day long and knew A Luo's temperament and preferences very well. He gently and carefully placed A Luo on his lap and held A Luo's belly with both hands.
Ah Luo was really happy. Her big and flexible eyes kept turning and looking at her. Her two chubby arms were waving in the air.
Xie Mingxi smiled helplessly and said: "Master, don't be too spoiled by A Luo."
Gu Shanchang retorted disapprovingly: "A Luo can sit down whenever she wants. I'm not spoiling her."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "That's not what I mean. What I mean is that it takes a lot of energy to hold a child, and A'luo is particularly naughty and active, so holding her is even more strenuous. I am young and energetic, so I will hold her more along the way.
"
A Luo has been in the arms of Chief Gu Shan since she got on the carriage. As soon as Xie Mingxi picked her up, before she could even burn the incense, the child was "robbed" from her again.
Regarding this, Xie Mingxi was also helpless and dumbfounded.
Chief Gu Shan couldn't listen at all, and said forcefully: "I hug you more often than you do, and I never feel tired."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi, who had never lost her sharp tongue to anyone, had no choice but to hold back her sharp tongue when she came in front of Chief Gu. This is the so-called "one thing reduces another thing".
There were noisy voices outside the carriage.
Xie Mingxi has a very good ear, and after a moment of concentration, she heard the voice of the person coming.
"The King of Lu, Ning, and King Min are here to see them off." Xie Mingxi said in a low voice: "Several royal wives are also here. I will get off the carriage to deal with them."
In fact, we have already said goodbye to those who should say goodbye, and have said everything that needs to be said. Today's farewell is purely for the officials and people to see. We strive to show the deep brotherhood of the Tian family!
Chief Gu Shan had always been intolerant of this kind of facade: "Just go down and I won't show up."
Xie Mingxi responded with a chuckle.
…
Prince Lu and his wife, Prince Ning and his wife, Prince Fujian and his wife, came to see her off together. Princess Changping would naturally not be absent. Surprisingly, Prince Consort Gu, who had been recovering from his injuries for several months, also came today.
Gu Qing's leg injury was mostly healed, but now he can't walk smoothly. Today he came in a carriage. He was helped out of the carriage by two attendants.
Gu Qing still looked that gentle and smiling. His right leg was seriously injured and his leg was ailing, but it didn't seem to have any effect on him. At least, that's how it seemed on the surface.
"We have traveled far and wide, and I don't know when we will be reunited. I hope you will have a smooth journey to Shu." Gu Qing's expression was sincere, his words were sincere, and there was no exaggeration at all.
Sheng Hong's eyes were filled with emotion: "Thank you very much, Prince Consort, for coming to see me off. I also hope that Prince Consort will take good health as soon as possible and recover as before."
Gu Qing was quite open-minded and smiled: "Thanks to you for saving me that day. I am lucky to be able to save my life. There is no reason to force it."
It was fine with others. When Princess Changping heard this, her eyes turned red. Then she gave Prince Ning a hard look.
Prince Ning remained motionless, as if he was not paying attention.
Princess Changping snorted secretly in her heart.
King Lu and King Min knew this well, looked at each other and quickly changed the subject.
After a while, officials from the DPRK and China came to see him off one after another.
Not all the elders came. The ones who came to see him off were Mr. Lu Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge. As the chief assistant, Mr. Lu Ge spoke with great weight: "I wish the great Qi country to be peaceful and the people are safe, and I wish His Highness the King of Shu to succeed in establishing the vassal state."
The implication is that when you arrive in Shu, live your life peacefully and honestly, and don't make any mistakes.
As Mr. Lu Ge lives in the city, he will definitely not mention his eldest grandson Lu Chi at this time.
In fact, Lu Chi insisted on going to Shu as an official, but Lu Gelao did not agree with it. However, Changsun was very insistent and made it clear that he would be transferred back to Beijing after serving two terms as an official, so Lu Gelao reluctantly agreed.
It is obviously impossible to expect Mr. Lu Ge to favor the King of Shu because of this. The most he can do is not to cause trouble and be a little tolerant to the King of Shu without harming the national interests.
Sheng Hong responded solemnly: "Mr. Lu Ge is loyal to Da Qi. I feel the same way. I will definitely govern the vassal land well."
Mr. Zhao Ge was more mature. He first said some blessings, and then whispered: "My young son, I have been willful and arrogant since I was young. Please forgive me in the future."
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Zhao Ge's old words are serious. Zhao Qi and I are classmates and good friends, and we are very familiar with his temperament. He is by no means a arrogant person."
The focus is on the word "pet".
Knowing that his old son would be treated favorably and kindly by the King of Shu, Mr. Zhao Ge felt relieved.
An hour later, the people who saw him off reluctantly said goodbye and embarked on the return journey.
Sheng Hong held Xie Mingxi's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
The couple had officially left the capital for the vassal territory. From this day on, fighting between brothers in the court, rivalry between mother and son, and rivalry between sisters-in-law and the like would all be far away.
There was a smile between Xie Mingxi's eyebrows, and her beautiful face seemed to shine in the sunlight.
