Chapter 972 Regret and Cherish
The next morning.
At daybreak, the alleys were already filled with elite Tengu soldiers in armor and armed with sharp weapons.
Several carriages were parked outside the courtyard gate, and all the luggage had been loaded onto the carriages, including the large wooden cabinet that Yang Liushi had bought earlier.
Although Su Qi officially ascended the throne yesterday, and although such a big thing happened last night, Wei Changtian still decided to return to Da Shu as planned.
After all, the new dynasty has been established and Guankong is dead, so there is no point for him to stay here.
As for Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian believed that if his grandfather really wanted to do something, it would not matter where he was.
"Sir, Madam, everything is packed and we can leave at any time.
In the front hall of the courtyard, Zhang San bowed and said, "Lord Su is leading his men here. He must want to come and see us off."
"Let him go back."
Wei Changtian drank a sip of tea and waved his hand, saying, "His status is different now, so why is he coming to see me off?"
"Yes, I will deliver the message right away."
Nodding and leaving the room, Zhang San's footsteps soon disappeared.
Wei Changtian looked around the courtyard where he had lived for more than half a month, then finished his tea in one gulp and prepared to leave.
This time, Li Zimu, Xu Suisui, Xu Quan, Zhili, and everyone else will leave with him. They will go to Fengyuan first, and then some of them will follow him back to Dashu.
Oh, except for the four evil guys headed by Duan Fangping.
I don’t know if it’s because they have been helping Su Qi deal with the “remnants of the previous dynasty” recently, that these four people suddenly no longer just like killing and doing evil, but have developed a great interest in the more advanced “killing technique” of power.
This made the other three people except Duan Fangping want to stay in the newly established Han Dynasty, preparing to become an official and experience the joy of holding power and having the power of life and death.
Wei Changtian had no objection to this, and asked Su Qi to give each of the three people an official position.
As for how these three evil men will become officials, that is not a problem that he has to worry about.
"What's wrong?"
He stood up and looked at Yang Liushi who was thinking about something beside him: "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I'm thinking about Miss Cheng."
Yang Liushi stood up and said, "Husband, are you not going to see her before you leave?"
"Tui'er?"
Wei Changtian was stunned. He had almost forgotten about this matter. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you want to see her? To see if she and He Jing have broken up?"
"I'm not afraid that some people will remember it later. Oh, forget it, husband, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Yang Liushi pouted: "Let's go."
"Well, let's go."
“.”
After walking out of the courtyard, Wei Changtian looked back again, then bent down and got into the carriage.
Following a gesture from Zhang San, the convoy immediately began to move slowly, heading towards the alley entrance in the reflection of the morning sun.
After leaving this time, Wei Changtian knew that he would not come back for at least a few years.
It’s not that I’m reluctant to leave.
I just feel that sometimes I seem to be too hurried. Every time I arrive at a place, I do my business and leave after I’m done. I don’t even have time to take a look at the customs and practices of different parts of the world.
Now that I'm back in Dashu, I should probably take a rest if possible.
At least I have to accompany Liang Qin to give birth to the baby safely. It was the beginning of July, and there were still three months until winter.
Wei Changtian couldn't help feeling caught off guard when he thought that he would become a father in three months.
But on second thought, this is something quite exciting.
If he hadn't traveled through time, he would have been a long way from this step. His body swayed slightly with the carriage, and Wei Changtian's mind was full of random thoughts. He didn't know why he suddenly thought of all these random things.
While he was daydreaming, Cui'er was standing behind a gate in the alley, biting her lips, seemingly hesitating about something.
The clear morning breeze ruffled the corners of my clothes, and the first rays of the sun in the sky cast a golden glow.
At a certain moment, she suddenly opened the gate and shouted, "Wait, wait a minute!"
“.”
"Whoa!"
The horses stopped and the convoy actually stopped.
Then, as Zhang San waved his hand, several Tengu soldiers retracted the long swords that were blocking Cui'er, and watched the latter lift up her skirt and run towards one of the carriages.
"Wei, Master Wei, Madam, are you guys leaving?"
Cui'er's cheeks turned a little red as she quickly ran to Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi who had already got off the car.
"yes."
Wei Changtian glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Cui'er, if you and Brother He have the opportunity to go to Dashu in the future, you can go to Shuzhou City to find me. I will definitely do my best to be a good host."
Not only did he get out of the car, but he also said this.
Regardless of whether Wei Changtian was being polite or not, this at least showed that he still considered Cui'er and He Jing as friends.
After taking another look at He Jing, who was standing at the gate and seemed reluctant to come forward, Wei Changtian bowed from a distance and was about to get back into the car.
But at this moment, Cui Er suddenly stammered:
"Mr. Wei, although I don't know what your relationship with Miss You is, I understand that there must be something you can't let go of."
"If you don't mind, I might be able to help you untie your knot."
"You, you just need to tell me what to do. I am willing to try anything."
Looking up at Wei Changtian, Cui'er's tone was stuttering, but her expression was serious.
When Wei Changtian heard these words, he was stunned at first, but then he quickly understood what she meant.
It is obvious that Cui'er wanted to "pretend to be" Youjia to make up for some of her "regrets" and repay her for "not robbing her".
For example, if you feel guilty towards Youjia, you can let Cui'er say "I forgive you" to you on behalf of Youjia.
"Hahaha, thank you for your kindness."
Shaking his head in a helpless manner, Wei Changtian certainly would not do such a self-deceiving thing, so he just casually refused: "I don't have any grudges, and I don't need you to do anything."
“Is that so.”
Cui'er opened her mouth, as if she didn't completely believe what Wei Changtian said.
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly pulled out the peach blossom hairpin in her hair and raised it forward.
"Then, then please accept this, sir."
“.”
Looking at the peach blossom pendant blooming in the sun, Wei Changtian was silent for a while this time.
But in the end he still did not accept the hairpin, but said softly:
"Miss Cui'er, I remember you said that the reason you like this hairpin is because it was given to you by Brother He."
“Yes, yes.”
Cui'er lowered her head, a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes.
"Then you should keep it well."
Wei Changtian smiled and spoke in a low voice, which seemed to contain some complicated emotions: "Otherwise you may regret it later."
"Say goodbye to Brother He for me. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
“.”
After saying the last few words, Wei Changtian turned around and got on the carriage.
Under Cui'er's blank gaze, the carriage quickly drove out of the alley, turned a corner and disappeared.
Cui'er gently clenched the peach blossom hairpin in her hand, and when she turned around, she saw He Jing hesitating outside the courtyard gate, wanting to come over but not daring to, with a struggling look on his face.
She bit her lip, and then her eyes became moist for no reason.
"Sir!"
“.”
Life is not a script and rarely ends perfectly.
So sometimes, if everything goes as planned, we don’t know how to cherish it.
