The next day, the officials did not order to move along the Wei River Basin, but ordered the team to go directly north, seemingly rubbing the edge of Luoshui River northward.
Su Song felt that the official's behavior today was strange, and even his expression was a little solemn. Su Song was not sure what was wrong, and did not dare to say anything, so he followed the official in the carriage in silence.
The mood of the officials made the entire team quite heavy. There were no special instructions, they just went northward seemingly aimlessly...
The whole day, I was traveling in this atmosphere, and the solemn expressions of the officials made no one dare to ask.
Among the accompanying officials, Su Song, Li Jie and Jia Xian had the highest positions, and the three of them were all considered close to the official family, or were former officials who knew the official family best. Therefore, they would not go at this time.
Annoying officials.
However, the solemn expressions of the officials made them feel very uneasy.
"Is it possible that something happened to Bianliang?"
This kind of speculation has been unable to be dispelled in the minds of several people... After all, after the official's trip, the Imperial City Division's spies never stopped reporting to the official.
If there were any changes in Bianliang, it might be a disaster for the country!
During the meal, Su Song and the others were also very nervous. Apart from making eye contact, no one dared to seriously talk about the speculation about the sudden change in Bianliang.
The officials did not order a rush march, nor did they say that they would greet the garrison of Jingzhao Mansion. They continued to march at the usual speed... Su Song knew that the garrison of Jingzhao Mansion was now in charge of Zhe Keke, who was the captain of the old guard battalion.
As for his origin, even if there were any changes in Bianliang, there would be no surprises for the officials in the area under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion.
If you think about it further, all the garrison troops in Jingzhao Mansion, Jingxi Road, and even the entire northwest, including Bianliang, Gyeonggi Road, and Jingdong Road, are all close confidants of the official family, so there should be no accidents.
But why do the officials keep going north without stopping?
"Mr. Su Ge, it's already dusk, but we still have to move forward?"
The military general accompanying the team was a soldier of the old guard battalion, and now he was a commander at the military level. But even with such status, he did not dare to disturb the officials in such an atmosphere, and could only rely on following him.
I am familiar with Su Song and asked Su Song what to do next.
"Where have you been?"
"Back to Ge Lao, we have already passed Tongzhou, and we should still be a hundred miles away from Chengcheng."
It's the wilderness again. It doesn't matter if we sleep in the wild. The officials made it clear before this trip that they will not disturb the place during this trip and will not enter the city when passing through.
In this situation, even if he didn't want to disturb the officials, Su Song still had to work up his energy to request the order... What on earth was going on?
"Officials, Mr. Su Ge asked for orders. It was dusk, but he arrived in Chengcheng?"
Shi Deyi was also very unlucky. Wang Zhongzheng was not sure how he would serve him when he was following the official family. Anyway, he was very awkward and at a loss as to what to do.
"Tell the team to turn west about twenty miles and camp under the mountain ridge!"
Regardless of whether it was the cold tone or not, there was finally an order. Not to mention Su Song, even Shi Deyi felt relieved. And such a scene and atmosphere made them forget how the officials knew how to turn west from here.
There will be a mountain ridge twenty miles away.
The team gathered together to eat and rest in depression. No one went to appreciate the starry sky in the mountains and fields late at night.
Zhao Xi simply filled a little food, didn't even get off the carriage, didn't say anything to anyone, and just rested.
It wasn't that Zhao Xi wanted to create such an atmosphere deliberately, but that he needed to try his best to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
As he was about to arrive at the place where he came into this world, he felt really uneasy. He couldn't explain what it was like, and he was a little panicked.
Neither he nor he now believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, but when he came to this era from later generations, it made him feel weird even thinking about it.
It has been forty years, and he is almost reaching his original age. Things that should have been completely forgotten have been constantly disturbing him during this period, making it difficult for him to calm down.
It was because of the death of the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui that his melancholy behavior was justified. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain his changes in front of the ministers.
Even his face could clearly show the difference in him during this time. Several mornings, when Zhao Xi looked in the mirror, he seemed to be able to see the original him.
It's not that he is reluctant to part with the so-called emperor's position, it's that he has a feeling that his soul has nowhere to rest...
Therefore, he had to find an excuse to come to a place he was familiar with and tried to forget.
Strange to say, on this night, in this wild place, close to the original place, listening to the howling wind in the wild, Zhao Xi slept very soundly...
Yin Shi, Yin Shi as always, or that's not the right thing to say. During this period, due to the harassment in the dream and the death of the Queen Mother, Zhao Xi had been interrupted from the routine he was used to for decades.
It happened that under this mountain ridge, on this absolutely uncomfortable carriage, Zhao Xi resumed the routine he had maintained for decades.
When he suddenly woke up, when Zhao Xi was still a little dazed, he already clearly felt that the king who created the Zhongxing of the Song Dynasty was back... It was so clear that even Zhao Xi couldn't explain the reason.
"Zirong, Mingzhong, you may be able to clearly see the general topography of the Luo River, including the Wei River Basin, from this mountain ridge. I don't know the origin of Shen Cunzhong's measurement method. Sometimes it is easier to understand with the naked eye."
What the official said made Su Song speechless. It's just a mountain ridge. It doesn't matter whether it's high or not. But if you want to understand the river conditions of the Guanzhong Plain from this mountain ridge, it's just conjecture.
However, what made them relaxed was that the Guan family suddenly came back... This is the feeling. Therefore, they didn't mind that the Guan family went to Shanliangding to go crazy.
Zhao Xi knew that the knot in his mind should be settled, because beyond this mountain ridge was the place where he originally grew up, and the place where he left and came to this era in confusion.
Just being close to him calmed down his confused mood for many days...
At this time, Zhao Xi just returned to Bianliang, and there should be no more problems. But Zhao Xi still wanted to take a look at the mountain ridge to see the so-called vicissitudes of the past thousand years.
The mountain ridge is not high, and even Su Song climbed to the top without feeling tired...Su Song has often gone out for exploration in recent years, and such mountain ridges are indeed not difficult for him.
There is a flat land on the mountain ridge...the only difference between it and a thousand years later is a temple.
Standing on the mountain ridge and looking south, you can indeed see the Guanzhong Plain, and the sparkling Luoshui is not far away, illuminated by the morning sun and making people intoxicated.
When Zhao Xi reached the top of the mountain ridge, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he could see himself across a thousand years of time and space...
