Chapter 624 I'm Back
Outside the south gate of Fuming Town, Gu Nanxi looked at the repaired city wall with tears in her eyes.
Before I left, the house was in tatters and there were cracks everywhere on the blue bricks.
The entire Yunzhou was filled with a tragic atmosphere.
Coming back again, the people of Yunzhou are like strong warriors, standing up again in the suffering brought by the war!
Gu Nanxi's nose felt sore. At this moment, the longing was like a tide, drowning her whole body.
There are only four words that can describe Gu Nanxi's mood at the moment, and that is homesickness.
In the letters that Wang Buxi, Yan Tongchu and Yunyan wrote to themselves, Yunzhou was booming and everyone was working towards a common goal.
But Yunzhou is like his own child, and Gu Nanxi can't let go of his worry unless he sees it with his own eyes.
Cui Letian and others stood behind Gu Nanxi, looking at Duke Yun, who was invincible on the battlefield and brave enough to reform in officialdom, but actually showed hesitation in front of a small city gate.
Cui Letian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know where to start.
This is Yunzhou, a past that he had no idea about in his previous life.
In her previous life, Yunzhou was a thorn in Queen Zhaowu's heart that could not be touched.
Queen Zhaowu missed it and was concerned about it.
Finally, in the tenth year of Zhaowu, he personally led the army to conquer the grasslands in the north and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
In this life, Yunzhou survived, and everything seemed different.
Cui Letian was in a trance for a moment. Could he really climb to the pinnacle of power by relying on the memories of his previous life?
"Is this Yunzhou? Although the city is big, it can't compare to Kyoto."
"This dirt and cement road is quite interesting. It looks yellow, but I didn't expect it to be so hard."
"There are more people than I thought. That's great." A young scholar breathed a sigh of relief.
With a fearless attitude, they followed Duke Yun to Yunzhou.
The reality is much better than imagined! Yunzhou is not a remote place with no birds or shits, nor is it a deserted city with corpses everywhere, nor is it a barbaric and bloody uncivilized place.
Yunzhou is prosperous and has a large population. Although it is not as large as Kyoto, it is the most populous of the three counties.
The scholars were chattering and discussing Yunzhou in low voices, and no one dared to urge Duke Yun to enter the city.
Just then, a driver delivering goods on a tricycle rang the bell: "Gentlemen in front, please make way! This is a vehicle-only lane, and the pedestrian path is next to it."
Wen Deyuan frowned unhappily: "The road is so wide, why do you care which road I take?"
The driver glanced at Wen Deyuan and raised his eyebrows: "You're from out of town? I'm kindly reminding you that after entering the city, you can't wander around on the avenue. It's no big deal if you get fined by the traffic police, but if you get hit by a car, you'll suffer too!"
Wen Deyuan sneered. It was just a small border town that had just experienced war. How many people could there be? Could it be more populated than Kyoto?! What a boast!
Wen Deyuan wanted to open his mouth to reprimand him, but he saw Duke Yun quickly stepped aside and apologized to the driver: "I'm so sorry, I've been out for too long and I couldn't help myself. Please!"
The driver chuckled and pushed hard with his right foot, and the tricycle loaded with goods began to squeak as it moved.
When the driver had passed Gu Nanxi and his group by about ten meters, he slammed on the brakes, turned around, his face full of surprise.
As if he couldn't believe what he saw, the driver rubbed his eyes with his hands. After making sure again and again that he was not mistaken, he got off the car in a hurry without even caring about the cargo.
The driver quickly ran to Gu Nanxi, his face flushed with excitement, and the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
The driver was filled with excitement and had nowhere to vent. He knelt down and kowtowed vigorously: "You are back, you are back! We thought you didn't want Yunzhou anymore."
The driver's sudden movement scared Cui Letian and others.
Liu Guangxi stroked his chest, his heart beating non-stop: "You fool, you are so reckless!"
The passers-by did not notice what Liu Guangxi was saying. Their eyes were fixed on Gu Nanxi. After confirming again and again that it was really Duke Yun who returned, their eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.
They knelt down at the same time, kowtowed three times, and shouted in unison: "Welcome Duke Yun!"
At this moment, the wide road that was originally busy with traffic seemed to have been paused. Tricycles, bicycles and pedestrians all stopped.
On the road, there are figures kneeling devoutly.
Gu Nanxi sniffed, helped the driver who was kneeling in front of her up, and said loudly: "I'm back, I'm home!"
Going home?
Back home!
There was sobbing at the scene.
As Duke Yun's battle line continued to advance southward, the people of Yunzhou felt proud of Duke Yun, but at the same time, they had a sense of worry deep in their hearts.
That is, Yunzhou cannot compare to Kyoto. Will Duke Yun not return to Yunzhou?
Now Duke Yun told her to go home, she regards Yunzhou as her home!
"Welcome Duke Yun home!"
"We are going to hold a welcoming ceremony for Duke Yun!"
There was a sudden commotion at the South City Gate. When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a group of people rushing out of the city like crazy, with fanatical expressions on their faces.
They waved their hands and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Duke Yun is back!"
Warm cheers resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
The soldiers standing on the city wall kept waving red flags to express their anticipation for the return of the master of the city and the master of the land!
Boom boom boom! Boom boom!
The war drums on the city wall are beating, these are the drums of the victorious army returning!
Inside the governor's mansion, Wang Buxi and others who were holding their regular meeting as usual, heard the drumbeats and all stopped and looked at each other.
Wang Buxi looked at Gu Hai: "Did we send troops to fight?"
Gu Hai shook his head: "There is only a small-scale harassment on the Xixia border, which Gu Shisan is capable of handling. No news of troop movements has been received."
Su Yunyan was a little anxious: "What's going on with the drum sound? Did someone mobilize troops without permission?"
Yan Tongchu took the plan and looked outside the door. He couldn't see anything, so he urged, "Don't worry about it. It's not an enemy attack. Come and help me think about it. Is there anything wrong with this plan that needs to be supplemented? If there is no problem, I will send someone to deliver it to the adults."
Su Yunyan shook her head: "I think your plan is very good, the biggest problem is that we don't have enough money."
It hurts!
The construction of Yunzhou requires money everywhere, and there is indeed no extra money for him to build a commercial center.
Just as a few people were discussing, they saw Xiaohua, who was originally lying in the corner, suddenly pricked up her ears and moved them slightly, as if she heard something.
Xiaohua rushed out like lightning.
"Xiaohua?!" Su Yunyan called anxiously.
A'niang likes Xiaohua very much. When she led her troops to Hezhong County, she specially asked someone to send Xiaohua back to Yunzhou so that she could take care of her!
Why did it suddenly run away?!
Not long after Xiaohua disappeared, the entire Fuming Town seemed to be shaken. The overwhelming cheers made people's ears buzz.
After hearing clearly what they were shouting, Su Yunyan's mind went blank: "My mother is back?"
