The carriage sped towards Dacheng.
Qingzhi led the way in front, and Moyu drove steadily.
There were not many of them, and they only had one carriage.
But Mo Yu's intuition has always been sharp. He can always sense shadows lurking in the dark along the way and always keep a certain distance from them.
He frowned, but Qingzhi had already noticed his doubts and whispered to him -
"They are from the Eagle Guard. They are secretly escorting us as ordered by the king. Once we reach the border, they will not follow us anymore."
The meaning of Duota...
Mo Yu's heart was shocked and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
He turned to look at Yuan Zhao, who just lowered his eyes slightly, tacitly agreeing to the arrangement.
So Mo Yu said nothing, just nodded slightly and continued driving forward.
We are about to leave Beiqiang, so it is better not to cause any more trouble.
As it turned out, the journey was indeed very smooth and there were no obstacles.
They traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the border between Beiqiang and Dacheng at dusk.
Qingzhi was the first to pull the reins and stop in front of the border line.
She looked back at the carriage that had stopped behind her, then turned her horse's head, drove it forward, and came to the side of the carriage.
She whispered through the car curtain -
"Your Highness, the great achievement is ahead."
"I will take you here and will not go any further."
There was silence in the car for a moment before Yuan Zhao slowly lifted the curtain.
Her gaze fell on Qingzhi, she paused slightly, and then nodded slightly, her eyes softening with a hint of sincere gratitude.
"Qingzhi, thank you so much."
The emotions that Qingzhi had been trying so hard to suppress finally surged into her heart at this moment.
Her eyes were slightly red, but she didn't want anyone to see anything unusual, so she raised her head and chuckled.
"Your Highness, let's go." She raised her voice, her voice slightly hoarse, "There are people waiting for you in front."
Yuan Zhao's fingertips tightened slightly.
She slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on the front of the carriage.
Mo Yu had already jumped out of the car and steadily lifted the door curtain.
Yuan Qi Yu was sitting in the car. When he heard this, he immediately looked over.
With just one glance, he saw a figure standing in front of the horse.
At that moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage and ran towards the man -
“Daddy!!”
His voice was clear and carried undisguised joy, echoing across the empty border.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the horizon, outlining the figure standing in the wind even more clearly.
The man was wearing a black cloak. The wind and snow did not touch him at all, and he remained as tall and straight as a pine tree.
When Huo Yan heard the shout, his eyes moved slightly. He opened his arms towards Yuan Qiyu who was running towards him and caught him firmly.
He held Yuan Qiyu and spun around, and Yuan Qiyu laughed out loud with joy.
After dropping Yuan Qiyu off, Yuan Zhao and the rest of the children had already gotten out of the car and were walking towards him.
Yuan Nan'an also smiled, and couldn't wait to share his story of robbing food and grass with Huo Yan.
But looking at Huo Yan, he saw that his eyes were always fixed on the people around him.
So she pulled her mother and started jogging.
Yuan Zhao was caught off guard and was pulled forward by his strong daughter.
The wind whistled past, lifting her sleeves and curling her long hair, brushing against her slightly cool cheeks.
The cloak on his body was lifted up and fluttered like snow.
Yuan Zhao's footsteps were led by his daughter and he ran forward.
She crossed the border in one step and entered Dacheng.
The man she had been thinking about day and night was right in front of her, and she saw the man open his arms.
Yuan Nan'an let go of her hand, Yuan Zhao took another step forward, crossed the final distance, and threw herself into Huo Yan's arms.
His arms tightened, holding her tightly in his embrace.
His chin rested on the top of her head, his voice was low and hoarse, with joy and a slight imperceptible tremor -
"Zhao Zhao, welcome home."
…
Qingzhi slowly turned the horse's head only after the carriage completely disappeared from sight.
She took a few steps forward and met up with the Eagle Guards who had been waiting ahead.
At the front of the team, a man in black clothes, sitting on a horse, was gazing quietly into the distance. It was Dota.
His eyes were heavy, and he was still staring at the direction where the carriage was leaving, as if he wanted to engrave the disappearing figure firmly in his heart.
Qingzhi looked at him, silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"Since Your Majesty is reluctant to leave, why doesn't he bid His Highness a proper farewell?"
Judging from how the two have been getting along these days, even if the king really offered to give Your Highness a ride, Your Highness would surely not refuse.
Dota finally withdrew his gaze, his tone calm.
"I don't want her to do anything she doesn't want to do."
Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then she understood what he meant.
Yes, Your Highness has made up his mind, so why be so stubborn?
Since they couldn't be together for life, he didn't want to make her feel guilty, and even more so, he didn't want to add to the pain of separation.
Duota finally turned his horse around and headed towards Xiaoyue City.
The yellow sand rolled and the road was long. He galloped on his horse and never looked back.
As long as they don't say goodbye, their relationship has not really come to an end.
They will definitely meet again.
…
The carriage was not big. Yuan Qiyu and Yuan Zhizhi sat on Huo Yan's legs respectively, with Yuan Zhao sitting next to him.
Yuan Musheng and Yuan Nanan sat opposite each other.
Yuan Qiyu chattered and told Huo Yan about the various things that happened along the way.
"Dad, you don't know, we were almost stopped as soon as we entered Xiaoyue City... Those people compared our portraits with Mother's..."
"Luckily, mother made preparations in advance, otherwise we would be doomed!"
