Chapter 15 Cui Yun returns home

The letter did not explain clearly what happened!

The letter was written by Mao Xiaonian, but it was in Zheng Shi'an's tone. Zheng Shi'an only said that he would ask Yan Qing to return to Xingyang quickly and discuss important matters.

But what exactly happened was not explained in the letter...

Zheng Yanqing felt a little embarrassed when he received this letter.

His departure was equivalent to keeping Wugui Cuiyun and Duoduo in Minshu; but if there was something to do at home, he had to go back as Zheng Shi'an Changsun. In short, he had not been back for two years, and it seemed to be common sense that Zheng Shi'an missed him. Besides, Zheng Shi'an knew what he was doing in Minshu. It must be important to call him back at this time. Zheng Yanqing must return to Xingyang.

"Brother Yanqing, are you leaving?"

Wugui is already ten years old and is no longer a child who doesn’t know anything.

The death of her father and the drastic changes in her family made her almost die. A series of accidents made her more sensitive than girls of the same age.

Yan Qing stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Wuqi's little head.

"Guanyin maid, the little brother may have to leave for a while. Will Guanyin maid be unhappy?"

"meeting!"

Changsun Wugui's answer made Zheng Yanqing smile bitterly in his heart.

He thought for a while and said softly: "The Guanyin maid is unhappy, the little brother will be sad... In this way, the little brother promises you that he will come back as soon as possible.

Well, maybe I will come back with my mother at that time, and Guanyinbi’s illness should be cured at that time, and I will be able to go home with my little brother.”

go home?

A glimmer flashed in Wuqi's eyes.

For Wugui, after his father left, home was not a noun worth remembering. But there were mothers, little brothers, and third brothers... When these elements gathered together, the meaning they represented seemed to be very different from the original "home".

"That little brother wants to come back early!"

"One word is determined."

After Zheng Yanqing coaxed Wugui, he went to find Duoduo again.

To Yan Qing's surprise, Duoduo did not stop him and offered to stay and take care of Wugui. Yan Qing also hoped Duoduo could stay in his heart. After all, although the situation in the Central Plains had changed, the national strength of the Great Sui Dynasty was still strong. Duoduo's return to the Central Plains at this time was definitely not a good idea. In addition, Wugui really needed care, so Zheng Yanqing did not spend too much time on the verbal words.

"I want to go back!"

Pei Cuiyun said: "I'm going to go back to Hedong."

"Return to Hedong?"

Pei Cuiyun nodded firmly, "I have to explain some things to my father. Whether he recognizes me as his daughter or not, I have to explain them clearly in person."

Cuiyun showed an extremely strong side, which surprised Yan Qing more or less.

He also understood Pei Cuiyun's heart, but how could he not know what Pei Cuiyun would face and say when she went back.

But can he give her a guarantee?

Zheng Yanqing was also quite troubled when facing this kind of happiness.

Gently holding Pei Cuiyun's tenderness, he whispered: "Sister Cuiyun, I can't guarantee you anything now. But there is one thing I can promise you: I will never let you down."

Pei Cuiyun's hand was held by Yan Qing, and his heart was pounding.

When she heard Yan Qing's words, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She resolutely went to Minshu with Yan Qing, and betrayed her family. Isn’t what she asked for? Isn’t Yan Qing’s promise?

Although Yan Qing didn't say what status would she give her.

But it's enough!

Cuiyun knew very well in his heart what Yan Qing was hesitating about. He had too many concerns, not only Duoduo, but also Wugui, and the family behind him. There were some things that needed to be too straightforward. Pei Cuiyun knew in his heart, and Zheng Yanqing also knew in his heart.

At that moment, Yan Qing visited Sun Simiao again and explained the matter of him returning to Xingyang.

Sun Simiao looked light and did not show any sadness. In fact, he had practiced Taoism for many years and had almost cultivated a strong heart of Taoism. Life and death are nothing, so how could he put his mood on the surface?

He took out a small gourd from the alchemy room and handed it to Zheng Yanqing.

"This is the Qi Return Pill, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians. A condition like Guanyinbi can be treated as long as it is not too serious. If you are seriously injured, you can also use this medicine to hold your life. There are a total of fifty Qi Return Pills here, so I will send it to you for your own protection."

Zheng Yanqing was stunned!

Why does it sound like he is in danger?

However, he knew that Sun Simiao's technique of divining yarrows was not as profound as Yuan Shoucheng, but he was also a top player.

Could it be that it was Sun Zhenren who saw something?

Before he could ask, Sun Simiao said, "Wugui will be very safe for me."

I will take good care of her. When her condition is cured, I will ask you to pick her up again. There is no way to take care of her at the foot of the mountain. There is also General Dou who can entrust her. So you don’t have to worry too much... Haha, Yan Qing, you will have some hardships when you return this time. I hope you are careful."

After Sun Simiao said this, he refused to speak again without asking Zheng Yanqing.

He asked anxiously, and he shunned the past on the grounds that he said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing had no choice but to keep Sun Simiao's advice firmly in his heart.

Although he decided to go back to Xingyang, it seemed unlikely that he would set off in one go. Zheng Yanqing still had a lot of things to deal with, first of all, he had to find a nanny for Wugui. After all, she was already ten years old, and there were some things that Sun Simiao couldn't ask about.

It’s easy to deal with when Duoduo is on the mountain, but what if you’re not there?

Yan Qing must consider it carefully.

Sometimes, he feels like a father, worrying about his daughter.

Fortunately, finding a nanny is not a difficult task. Duoduo has set up a line with County Magistrate Li of Ronglecheng through this Liaoren Rebellion. Many things will be much easier to handle. Through County Magistrate Li, Duoduo quickly bought a female Liaoren from the Longmen Shop at the foot of Emei Mountain to go up the mountain to take care of Wugui.

After solving Wugui's problem, Yan Qing had to worry about Duoduo again.

He always felt that it was not very reassuring for Duoduo to be here as a girl.

The experience of Suishan Liao reminded Zheng Yanqing. Gu Siman is not absolutely reliable. Even if he is the King of Liao now, if there is any disturbance...

Therefore, Yan Qing sent someone to Longshan and asked Yu Juluo for help.

Yu Juluo replied: "Dou Gui and his son have made significant contributions in this battle of Pingren. I will report to the court to adjust Dou Gui as the prefect of Meishan County."

With this guarantee, Yan Qing can finally feel at ease.

If Dou Gui is the prefect of Meishan County, Duoduo has another layer of protection.

As for the Gu Si Man, he treated Dou Gui like a snake and scorpion, and would never dare to come and provoke Dou Gui. As long as Dou Gui is in Meishan for a day, Duoduo will be more safe. The only thing worthy of gratitude is that Meishan County is a Xiajun County, and the prefect of Xiajun County has not shown much improvement in the fourth rank compared to before. Moreover, Dou Gui is tied to death in the Minshu area, and he may not be able to use his fists and feet.

But I will die with fellow Taoists but not with me.

For Duoduo, I had to feel aggrieved Dou Rui!

It was already mid-July that Zheng Yanqing had handled everything properly.

He didn't dare to delay any further, so he said goodbye to Sun Simiao with Pei Cuiyun and set off to leave Mount Emei.

Duoduo and Wugui sent them far away before they left tears.

Yan Qing had something in his mind, so he rushed along the way. In late August, he crossed Hechi County and walked on the Chencang Road and entered Guanzhong.

The journey was full of dust, and both Zheng Yanqing and Xiongdahai seemed a little tired.

Not to mention the weak Pei Cuiyun, she was even more exhausted. The three of them rested in Guo County for a day, then set off again and advanced all the way east.

But this time, Yan Qing seemed a little nervous!

At this time, Yang Guang had gathered the troops of the Twelve Guards. He personally led the army to Zhuo County, preparing to launch an offensive against Goguryeo after the beginning of spring.

In order to promote the prestige of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang spared no effort to the people.

He first ordered Yuan Hongsi to build a ship in Donglai Haikou. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, he had to build three hundred sea ships in a few months. This forced the officials of Donglai to supervise the worker day and night, and urged the ship workers to stand in the water to build sea ships without rest.

Over time, many boatmen's bodies were festered and maggots were scattered, and three or four out of ten died.

In May, Emperor Yang of Sui arrived at Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County.

Another edict was issued, ordering Henan, Huainan and Jiangnan to build 50,000 chariots and recruiting civilians from Henan and Hebei to supply military supplies.

In July, civil servants and ships south of the Jianghuai River were conscripted to transport Liyang and Luokou Cang's supplies, grain and grass to Zhuo County.

The fleet was more than a thousand miles long, and there were often 100,000 people returning to the road, day and night. But behind this seemingly prosperous, the roads seemed to be everywhere from Hebei to Zhuojun. The whole country was rioting, and bandits in Hebei were repeatedly banned.

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help feeling a little scared!

He remembers the ending of Emperor Yang of Sui's conquest of Goguryeo.

It was originally a war that could be destroyed, but driven by Yang Guang's self-confidence that expanded to the extreme, he ended up in a disastrous defeat in order to promote his national prestige. Hundreds of thousands of troops were abandoned in the snow and ice, which made Goguryeo extremely rampant for a while.

This is a war that could have been won.

Even if you replace a Chinese coach, you can still win.

Yang Guang had not fought a war, but the problem was that before, he was named the head coach, but in fact, the generals under his command could make decisions on their own. At that time, there were famous generals Han Qinhu and famous general He Ruobi; there were famous officials in the court, Gao Ying, Su Wei, Niu Hong and Yang Su, who were all resourceful.

At that time, Yang Guang was humbly accepting advice!

Zheng Yanqing first sent Pei Cuiyun to Wenxi County.

When I went to Wenxi County to inquire, I found out that Pei Shiju had gone to Zhuo County with the emperor, and Pei Renji also accompanied him. There was no one in Pei Bai Village, and Pei Shuying, after returning to Pei Bai Village, also changed into a woman's suit and practiced on Wangwu Mountain, without seeing outsiders.

"Yanqing, hurry back to Gong County."

Pei Cuiyun persuaded Zheng Yanqing, "I'll go to Wangwushan to find my aunt and ask about the situation. If there is something to do, I'll stay; if it's not possible, I'll go to Gong County to find you. My aunt has a female crown, and I'm afraid it's not easy to come forward to greet you, so you don't want to see her."

Is Pei Shuying the Women's Crown?

The so-called female crown means female Taoist priests, also called female yellow crown.

Zheng Yanqing was quite surprised and vaguely guessed that Pei Shuying's move should be related to him.

Pei Cuiyun was right. He was indeed not suitable to visit Pei Shuying at this time. Besides, time was tight, so he wanted to rush back to Gong County to find out what was going on. So, Yan Qing sent Pei Cuiyun to the foot of Wangwu Mountain and joined the Pei family. After he took Xiongdahai to the sea day and night, crossing the river from Xianshui Pass... In early September of the seventh year of Daye, Yan Qing arrived in Gong County!
