The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the blue sky, and pure white clouds changed into various shapes and floated in the air.
The world after the rain seems to have been washed again, everything becomes clean and bright. If it weren't for the bumpy muddy road, it would make people feel happy.
Shen Qianye was driving the carriage, his mood was gripped by the disappearance of Shen Baiying, and his eyes were searching the road for the group of refugees returning home.
The wet nurse's son and daughter-in-law also returned to Dong'an City together, looking for Shen Baiying in the crowd.
Inside the carriage, the nurse, holding the child, sat at the head of the table and sighed, "Alas! How wonderful it is that some families are happy, while others are sad! I wonder where Bai Ying has gone?"
Li Nian whispered, "Maybe she went home early. If not, then we can go to the government office and ask someone to help look for her. Pei Yanli, Sisi, and Aunt Shen are all looking for her in Bei'an City. She must be in one of these places."
The nanny's eldest grandson suddenly asked with curious eyes, "Could Sister Bai Ying have been captured by bad guys?"
"Oh, you can't say that, my dear grandson!" The nurse hit her eldest grandson and said repeatedly, "Pooh, pooh, pooh! Children should not be afraid to talk, children should not be afraid to talk!"
Li Nian took out two pieces of pastry from her bag and gave one to each of the nanny's two little granddaughters.
The two children immediately took it with joy on their faces and said in unison, "Thank you, Miss."
Seeing this, the nurse smiled embarrassedly and said, "Oh, Miss, why did you give it to these two naughty monkeys again? You should keep more for yourself. You don't know if you can buy food when you return to the city later!"
When she said this, she suddenly frowned and said worriedly, "I wonder if the food at home has been stolen by those bandits!"
Li Nian smiled and said, "It's okay. We brought a bag of noodles with us! It'll be enough for a few meals. We'll figure out a solution when we get back."
“Niannian, we’re here,” Shen Qianye’s voice came, and the carriage slowly stopped.
Shen Qianye jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain with one hand and said, “We will check at the city gate, so you have to get off and register first.”
“Okay,” Li Nian said, grabbing Shen Qianye’s arm and getting off the carriage, and whispered, “Thank you.”
"You don't have to be so polite all the time." Shen Qianye smiled at her, turned around to hide the loneliness in his eyes, and then helped the nanny out of the carriage.
There was a long table at the city gate, and two officials were sitting there with cold and majestic expressions.
The three of them walked towards the long table together. Shen Qianye registered first, followed by Li Nian, who then took Jinhe from the nanny's arms. The nanny couldn't write and could only press a fingerprint.
After checking the identity documents, the interrogation was considered complete.
Shen Qianye was filled with emotion, he never expected that Dong'an City would be recaptured so quickly this time. Since last summer, Anyang State had hardly won a single battle.
He looked up at the city wall. Could it be that General Qi had returned?
But I saw flags flying on the city wall, and the word "Xiao" came into view.
Shen Qianye paused, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "When did a general named Xiao come to our northwest?"
When Li Nian heard Shen Qianye's words, he suddenly looked up!
On the city wall, a flag with the word "Xiao" printed on it danced in the wind.
A lazy, leaning figure among several soldiers standing upright next to the flag stood out particularly.
Li Nian's breathing stagnated, and he was so shocked that he took two steps back unconsciously.
Shen Qianye noticed her panicked expression, and hurriedly lowered his head and asked with concern: "Niannian, what's wrong?"
Li Nian quickly lowered her head, her arms around Jin He tightening unconsciously, and whispered, "Let's go!"
At such a long distance, she was not sure whether the man on the city wall was Xiao Yunyu. The original book also said that Xiao Yunyu was not an official, so it was impossible for him to be a general.
The Xiao family is a noble family, and perhaps other members of the family have become generals.
Yes, don’t panic, go home first.
Although she was reluctant, she could no longer stay in Dong'an City and had to leave.
She will go to Bei'an City to find Sisi tomorrow. Fortunately, their own names are used on the identity documents, and the other people in the Xiao family don't know her and Sisi's usual nicknames at all.
Li Nian's mind was in a mess, but he always felt a sense of unease and crisis in his heart.
Xiao Yunyu stood on the city wall, his eyes casually passing over the people returning one after another below the wall.
There are a lot of thoughts in my mind, but it seems like I am not thinking about anything, it is very blank.
Until a carriage came.
After watching for so long, I found out that these were two carriages from Dong'an City. It seemed that this shabby place was really poor, so poor that it couldn't even afford a carriage.
Who is this wealthy businessman who can afford a carriage?
The carriage stopped and the man driving it jumped off. Then he carefully helped the woman in a light green dress get off the carriage.
As the woman's feet landed on the ground, Xiao Yunyu raised his eyebrows.
Aren't people from the northwest usually tall? The woman seemed to be only as tall as the man's shoulders, and the man's eyes were fixed on her, looking like a loving couple.
An old woman came out from behind with a child in her arms. I guess they must be a family.
Tsk.
Xiao Yunyu inexplicably thought of his wife, who also always liked to wear long green skirts. She was small, well-behaved and soft.
If his wife were still alive, they would have a lovely child, and that child would definitely look like her...
Memory tries to break through the shackles of time and recreate the scene at that time, but it is like a scattered puzzle, unable to piece together a complete picture.
Until the petite woman holding the child in her arms suddenly looked up.
All the images in my mind are frozen at this moment.
Xiao Yunyu not only has good hearing, but also has exceptionally good vision. Although he couldn't hear what she whispered at this distance, he could see it clearly!
The face that had appeared in his mind countless times now appeared before his eyes.
She took two steps back in shock and snuggled up to the man beside her, looking up at him with a panicked face as she spoke.
Xiao Yunyu's heart suddenly started beating wildly with excitement, and his dead emotions were instantly ignited. He didn't even have time to think about why the dead person came back to life?
He used his lightness skills to block their way.
As Shen Qianye drove his carriage through the solid and thick city wall, he was blocked by a man in a black brocade robe.
The man was wearing a dark robe with narrow sleeves embroidered with gold thread, a belt of the same color with gold beads tied around his waist, his black hair standing up and fixed with a gilded crown inlaid with green. He was handsome and exuded an innate nobility and unruly nature.
This was the first time in Shen Qianye's life that he saw someone dressed so luxuriously. He thought that this person must be a distinguished person from a noble family who came to the capital.
He stopped the carriage, jumped out and saluted, then asked, "Excuse me, sir, why did you stop my carriage?"
"Your home?"
Xiao Yunyu's low, magnetic voice contained emotions that were difficult to discern.
Just two short words made Li Nian's heart beat wildly.
It's Xiao Yunyu! It's actually Xiao Yunyu!
