Chapter 709: Leaving the Wu Clan
Mom is going back.
Sanbao actually had a premonition a long time ago. In the past two days, her mother has been with her all the time. The mother and daughter are almost always together. She is very doting on her and agrees to whatever she wants.
Mother must have decided to go back, so she tried to spend as much time with her as possible and obeyed her in everything.
She couldn't bear to leave her mother.
"Mom, I want to go back to Da Zhou too. I miss my brothers, sisters, and dad." Sanbao said stubbornly.
"Go back with mother and don't care about Wu Li?" Tang Li said with a smile.
Sanbao hesitated.
"Don't you care about the people of the Wu clan?" Tang Li continued to ask.
Sanbao's breath, which he had just raised, suddenly deflated, and he became listless.
Tangli put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his arms.
She knew that her Sanbao, although young, was a very intelligent and responsible person, with a broad mind and caring for the people.
The Holy Maiden of the Wu Clan is the clan's mascot. She cannot leave Yuecheng and must accept the worship of the people. She is the people's faith.
If I want to put down the burden of the Saint, I have to find a new Saint...
The birth of this new saint depends on chance, it doesn't just happen.
No one knows when the new saint will appear.
When a new saint is born, the original saint will feel it, follow God's guidance, find her, bring her back to the temple, and train her as the successor.
When can we find the new saint?
Maybe a few days, maybe a few months, maybe a few years, maybe decades.
This is really an uncertain number, no one can tell for sure.
She can't leave the Wu clan, and her mother and father are in the Great Zhou. Does that mean they won't be able to see each other for decades?
Sanbao felt depressed and uncomfortable.
Tang Li looked at her and felt reluctant to let her go.
She also wanted to split herself into two, one to stay in the Wu Clan to accompany Sanbao, and the other to return to Da Zhou, where Wei Qing and the children were waiting for her.
"Once the matter in the Great Zhou is resolved, your father and I will come to the Wu Clan to find you." Tang Li said, "At the earliest, it will take a year, at the slowest, three years."
This one or three years will definitely be full of dangers, so it is actually beneficial for Sanbao to stay in the Wu clan, at least he can stay away from the center of the vortex.
After things are settled, she and Wei Qing can live in seclusion in the Wu clan, accompany Sanbao, and wait until they find a new saint, and then live in seclusion somewhere else.
This is the best solution Tangli can think of.
Sanbao hugged Tangli's arm and felt a little better.
At least there is a time limit, not separation forever.
"In the next few years, even as a saint, Sanbao must not slack off. She must practice hard with the master." Tang Li said.
Du Ye is Sanbao's master. If Sanbao stays in the Wu clan, Du Ye must stay in the Wu clan.
Tang Li felt more at ease with Du Ye and Wu Li, two people who valued the Three Treasures more than their own lives.
"Don't worry, mom. When mom and dad come, they will see a different Sanbao." Sanbao said, patting his chest.
She will become as good as her master and amaze her mother and father!
The mother and daughter left the Hualong Pond hand in hand and walked towards the temple.
"Selling flowers, selling flowers!" The flower girl's clear voice rang out.
The flower girl was holding flowers and couldn't help looking around, and accidentally bumped into Tang Li.
Tang Li supported her, the flower girl looked at her, and their eyes met.
Tang Li recognized the flower girl as the fake saint chosen by Yao Jie.
Yao Jie was sentenced to be burned at the stake. The fake saint did not participate in the incident that year, and did not know that she was fake, so she was sentenced to be expelled from the temple and become a commoner.
Tang Li originally thought that it would be difficult for the fake saint, who was used to a luxurious life, to adapt to the life of ordinary people outside. Unexpectedly, she started selling flowers and adapted quite quickly.
The fake saint looked at Tangli, then at Sanbao, and obviously recognized Sanbao's identity.
Her tone was filled with fear and respect: "Saint..."
As he said this, he wanted to kneel down.
"No need to kneel." Sanbao said.
The fake saint glanced at Sanbao secretly, then looked away.
Sanbao looked at her and felt that she had something to say to him.
"Go ahead." Sanbao said.
"Would you like to buy some flowers?"
The fake saint asked boldly, then looked at her expectantly. She had been selling for half a day and hadn't sold a single flower...
Sanbao: “…”
Sanbao originally thought it was a big deal, but in the end he just asked her if she wanted to buy flowers?
In the end, Sanbao still spent money to buy a bouquet of flowers. Because she was a saint, the fake saint gave her another bouquet because she was a saint and left happily.
With money she can buy delicious food!
The fake saint was delighted.
"Mom, this is for you." Sanbao handed a bouquet of flowers to Tangli.
The mother and daughter each took a bouquet of flowers and returned to the temple.
"Mother, when do you plan to return to Da Zhou?" Sanbao asked.
"We'll set off tomorrow." Tang Li said.
Sanbao knew that his mother came to Yuecheng for him. After the matter was resolved, his mother spent three more days with him.
However, she still felt a little sad and couldn't bear to leave her mother.
"Mom, I'll sleep with you tonight." Sanbao said.
"Okay." Tang Li said.
At night, the mother and daughter lay in bed, talking in whispers for most of the night and did not sleep.
Sanbao was reluctant to sleep, as he knew it would take several years before he could see his mother again.
The next day, Sanbao got up at daybreak and wrote a few letters.
"Mom, these letters are for Dad, Big Brother, Brother Xu Jue, Second Brother, and my younger brothers and sisters. Please help me take them to them."
Sanbao originally wanted to prepare gifts, but the journey to Da Zhou was thousands of miles away, and she was afraid of tiring her mother.
Tangli put the letters away and his eyes fell on Sanbao's tender little face. He couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.
The mother and daughter got dressed.
Tang Li went to see Du Ye. Du Ye's injuries had almost healed. He was wearing a robe, and his stern and cold expression diluted some of his handsome appearance.
Tang Li and Du Ye sat down at the table.
Tang Li brewed tea, poured a cup for Du Ye and handed it to him.
"How about trying it?" Tangli said with a smile.
Du Ye took a sip and said, "It's very fragrant. It would be even better if it was wine."
Tangli knew that he liked to drink, but... "You have wounds on your body, you can't drink."
Du Ye shook his head helplessly.
Tangli and Sanbao both kept an eye on him, and he couldn't even touch his alcohol.
"I'm going back to Da Zhou." Tang Li said.
Du Ye looked at her deeply, and his thoughts could not be seen.
Tang Li knew him very well and naturally knew that he was reluctant to leave.
"I'll leave the Three Treasures to you." Tang Li said, "Even though you're a saint, you must never neglect your martial arts training, and you must never slack off in your cultivation."
"Don't worry." Du Ye paused, "Sanbao will miss you."
"After one or two years, when the affairs of the Great Zhou are resolved, Wei Qing and I will come to the Wu Clan." Tang Li said.
Du Ye nodded.
"I'll take tea instead of wine to bid you farewell."
"Have a safe journey."
After Tang Li and Du Ye said goodbye, they went to find Wu Li.
Wu Li got up early in the morning, and there was a pile of official business in front of him that needed to be dealt with.
He was dressed in a black robe, and his awkwardness had faded. He now looked like a great wizard, mature and steady.
Seeing Tangli, he immediately smiled: "Madam!"
Even though he became a great wizard, Sanbao was still his master and Tangli was still his wife. Some things would never change.
When Tang Li told him that she was going back to Da Zhou, he was also reluctant, but he acted very restrained.
"When can Wangyou see the lady?"
Tang Li told Wu Li about his plan, and Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
One or two years is better than never seeing him.
The sun is rising.
Tangli carried his bag and prepared to set off.
With Fourteen's protection and Tangli's good skills, returning to the Great Zhou will not be a problem.
Sanbao still sent four witch servants to lead Tangli and take them away from the witch clan.
Tang Li was riding on a horse and always felt that the witch servant leading her in front was somewhat familiar.
The witch servant turned his head and saw Sanbao's face.
"Mother, I will give you another ride and send you out of the Witch Clan." Sanbao said.
It doesn't matter if she secretly and briefly leaves the temple for a while, Wu Li will cover for her!
This way, she can spend more time with her mother.
Tang Li's gaze fell on another witch servant. When the witch servant turned around and saw Du Ye's face, she had already achieved a state of calmness in her heart.
…
Great Zhou, the capital.
The rain continued for several months.
The night was dark and starless.
"Sir, please go to bed early."
The man shook his head: "I'll be busy for a while, you can go down."
"Yes." The servant changed the teacup and retreated, leaving only the man in the study.
The candlelight illuminated the tall figure of the man. He was wearing a black robe with a belt around his waist, outlining his slender waist. His facial features were three-dimensional and deep, and he looked handsome, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
It was Wei Qing.
Wei Qing finished the official business at hand, but still couldn't sleep.
He stood up and walked to the window. It had been more than two months, and his wife still hadn't come back. He didn't know what had happened to her.
In just two months, the situation in the capital was like the rainy weather, with dark clouds gathering.
Zhao Jingxuan's life or death is unknown...
Two months passed and the person still had not been found. In fact, everyone thought that Zhao Jingxuan was dead.
The emperor also showed some sadness, and Concubine Liang was so shocked that she became seriously ill.
In the court, the dormant Zhao Shu faction immediately emerged, and some people could no longer hold back and requested the emperor to appoint the Third Prince as the crown prince again.
The situation is very unfavorable to the Sixth Prince's faction.
However, Wei Qing was very calm.
Because he had received a letter from the secret guard ten days ago, saying that Zhao Jingxuan had been found and was being escorted back to the capital. Calculating the time, it would be almost here in the next two days.
If they knew that Zhao Jingxuan was still alive, Zhao Shu and his faction would definitely stop Zhao Jingxuan from returning to Beijing. To avoid complications, Wei Qing did not tell anyone about this, not even the Liang family.
When Zhao Jingxuan suddenly appears in the capital, it will definitely give Zhao Shu and his faction a big surprise.
Therefore, when Wei Qing saw how arrogant Zhao Shu and his group were, he just found it a little ridiculous.
Wei Qing was not worried about this.
From the secret guard's letter, he learned that his wife had gone to Yuecheng of the Wu Clan with Sanbao and had not returned with Zhao Jingxuan.
I don’t know when he will come back.
He missed her so much.
