Cangzhou is not far from Dongling Capital, and it only takes half a day to get there by water.
The disciples really didn't want to cause any more fuss, so they asked the boatman from Mingyue Island not to send them away, but to stop in Cangzhou and wait for them to come back.
Xie Ling chartered a medium-sized passenger ship, and the group arrived at Kyoto Pier in half a day.
This time, all the disciples changed into their regular clothes, instead of the complicated and elegant long-sleeved robes of Mingyue Island that looked like formal dresses.
The girls, in particular, were almost overwhelmed by the choices in the clothing store the day before.
You have to know that since entering Mingyue Island, they have never worn clothes other than white.
Various styles, jackets, skirts, and coats.
There are many materials, such as gauze, gauze, silk...
The embroidery on the hem of the skirt is delicate and pretty, dazzling the eyes.
Almost every girl has a different style and color of hair. Their hair is piled with garlands and hairpins with tassels, and the hairpins complement each other. Standing together, they look like a hundred flowers in bloom.
Xie Ling was simple-minded and just picked a green cross-collared dress, which made her look like a slender bamboo, with a more elegant look.
At this moment, she was standing at the bow with her hair half tied up. The wind blew up her ribbon of the same color, and her back was straight and upright, like a handsome young man.
Several female disciples came over quietly and patted her shoulders on the left and right.
"What's wrong?" Xie Ling turned around with a smile.
"Uncle Junior, tell me why you are not a man?"
A female disciple wailed to Xie Ling in grief.
Xie Ling laughed, "What's wrong?"
"You are handsome, have great medical skills, and have a sense of responsibility. Every time you work hard, I really want to marry you."
Several girls looked at Xie Ling with starry eyes.
Xie Ling stepped back, pretending to be frightened.
"I have a husband."
Xie Ling never concealed the fact that she had a husband and often talked about it.
After all, the children she was with were young and in their prime, and if one of them accidentally developed feelings for her that she shouldn’t have, it would be troublesome…
"I'm really curious about what Junior Master's husband looks like. I don't think anyone in the world is worthy of her."
“Second.”
"Uncle Junior, you must open our eyes and let us see what a man who can capture your heart looks like!"
Xie Ling curled her lips.
"good."
After not seeing each other for three years, she missed Gu Wei a little.
Once things here are settled, she will rush back to Sinan.
———
At the same time.
Beijiang River, Shangjing City.
The Nanwei army was unstoppable and easily broke through the imperial city and entered the palace.
But just over a year.
The Nanwei Army fought from the south to the north.
The two rebel factions that had been making great efforts were like clay figures in the hands of the Nanwei Army.
With almost no need for any strategy, the Nanwei Army marched straight in with overwhelming momentum and swept the rebels into a complete defeat.
As for the people of the North and East factions, they directly regarded the Nanwei Army as their savior and waited for the Nanwei Army to save them.
There was no need to persuade them to surrender; they surrendered one after another.
Now that Shangjing City has been captured, the entire Beijiang River is in Gu Wei's pocket.
Liu Xiu, the leader of the Northern School, was a man of integrity and committed suicide one stick of incense before the end of the war.
All the concubines in the palace were buried alive with him. The blood had not yet dried in the hall, and there was a strong smell of blood.
The soldiers lowered their heads and pulled the bodies out one by one.
Gu Wei, holding a long sword and wearing a silver-white light armor, stood in front of thousands of troops. His straight nose was hidden in the red tassel hanging from his helmet, and his thin lips were curled up in a cold arc.
"Can we surrender all of them?"
"Report to the Lord, we surrender completely and sincerely."
Gu Wei looked coldly at the magnificent hall.
When he left here four years ago, he was half disabled, a thief guilty of treason, and was condemned by thousands of people.
The Gu family was full of loyal and brave people, but they were labeled as traitors because of a casual stroke of the imperial pen on the high platform.
Now that he has returned again, he has truly become a traitor and has truly taken over the kingdom of the Li royal family.
I wonder if they will regret it in their grave.
There was a cold gleam in Gu Wei's peach blossom eyes. He swung out his sword, and the sharp sword energy instantly split the dragon throne into pieces.
All the soldiers in the palace knelt down and shouted in unison, "Our Lord is mighty!"
Gu Wei walked out of the hall. The bright sunlight shone through his long tassels, illuminating his delicate face like cold jade.
This is the main hall of the imperial palace and the center of the entire imperial city.
At the foot of thousands of long steps is an endless, vast white marble hall.
He had walked here countless times when he was young.
Outside the white jade palace is a long and deep corridor. Under the red palace walls, everything becomes dim. Even in the summer, there is a chill, and in the winter it is bone-chillingly cold.
A moment.
Gu Wei seemed to travel through time in a trance and saw himself when he first entered the palace as a young man.
Walking in front with a majestic look was his father.
The tall and gentle young man walking beside him was his elder brother.
The eldest brother lowered his voice and quietly taught him how to talk to the emperor.
As for him, his hands were shaking with excitement and he kept nodding his head.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you catch up?"
The father turned around. The majestic general looked serious even in front of his son.
The two brothers ran over quickly.
That winter, water froze into ice and the entire palace was dark without a single ray of sunlight.
Gu Wei knelt cautiously at the foot of the emperor, listening to the emperor's lukewarm praise, praising him for his promising young age and being a young hero.
Three hours.
The emperor didn't even let him get up.
My father and elder brother were worried but didn't dare to say anything.
After leaving the palace, the young man Gu Wei endured the pain, straightened his back, and walked through thousands of corridors step by step.
Looking at the dark sky outside the eaves, he thought, if only there was sunshine today, he would be warmer.
Now, twelve years later, the belated sunshine has finally set.
Gu Wei raised his hand and swung his sword, and the plaque engraved with "upright and open", symbolizing the glory of the royal family, fell to the ground instantly.
He said in a cold voice, "Move all the tablets of the Gu family to the main hall. I, Gu Wei, am unfilial and disregard the family precepts. I am a traitor. But my father and brother were upright throughout their lives, and their loyal bones are buried in the green mountains. I want to restore the reputation of the Gu family!"
The plan that had been brewing since arriving in Lingnan has finally come to fruition.
