Chapter 177 No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to leave
Gu Junze did not refuse and picked up the bowl and drank it all.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, or perhaps it was because both of them had some unspeakable emotions in their hearts, but the two of them actually had a very pleasant conversation.
Chu Ruohan looked at the two of them from the side and found that they had some similarities in their eyes and brows.
She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, these great generals Wang and Gu Junze, one is a majestic battlefield warrior, and the other is a gentle and jade-like prince of a marquisate.
They seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but at this moment they were chatting and laughing, and they actually had some common expressions and behaviors.
After three rounds of drinks, Duan Qingye opened up completely.
He patted Gu Junze's shoulder and said, "You have the same demeanor as your mother back then. Back then, I faced her on the battlefield. She was so brave and courageous. She was really as brave as a man."
When mentioning Princess Anyang, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Duan Qingye's eyes.
It's a pity that she has passed away...
Although Gu Junze knew about his mother's heroic deeds on the battlefield, he had never heard it described so vividly.
A complex emotion surged in his heart, "General Wang, what was the situation between you and my mother on the battlefield?" Gu Junze couldn't help but ask.
Duan Qingye put on a wry smile, poured himself another bowl of wine, and drank it down.
"At that time, when the two armies were facing each other, she was riding a tall horse, dressed in military uniform, looking heroic. I thought at the time, this woman is not simple!"
"What a pity..." Duan Qingye's voice suddenly dropped, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, "She married your father, a man who only knows how to hide behind women."
"Come on, have another bowl!"
Before I knew it, the wine jar was empty.
Duan Qingye was still unsatisfied and smacked his lips: "Any more wine?"
Chu Ruohan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Still drinking?"
She turned to look at Gu Junze, only to see that his face looked normal, without any sign of drunkenness. She couldn't help but wonder, how could he hold his alcohol so well?
Gu Junze asked Yingqing to bring his treasured wine.
When Yingqing brought the wine jar, Duan Qingye learned that the wine was brewed by Princess Anyang.
The whole person was shocked, his eyes instantly fixed on the wine jar, and he forgot to put down the wine bowl in his hand, and it just froze in mid-air.
Duan Qingye slowly stretched out his hand, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and his fingertips trembled slightly as they touched the wine jar.
The rough fingers stroked the surface of the wine jar, as if caressing a distant and precious memory.
"This...is this really brewed by her?"
Duan Qingye's voice trembled unconsciously, and his eyes were full of disbelief and complicated emotions when he looked at Gu Junze.
Gu Junze nodded slightly, "This was brewed by my mother herself back then, and she has kept it till now."
Thousands of words were stuck in my throat. "I want to take this wine back and treasure it."
Duan Qingye didn't care whether Gu Junze agreed or not, he just picked up the wine jar and left.
He wants to leave, who dares to stop him?
The next morning
Chu Ruohan pushed Gu Junze and slowly came to the city gate with the emperor's farewell team.
A gentle breeze blew, ruffling everyone's sleeves. After the two emperors exchanged greetings and said their farewell words, the scene fell into a brief silence.
Chu Ruohan's eyes were filled with reluctance. She raised her hand and gently touched Gu Yun's little face. Her voice was gentle and choked with sobs: "Write to me often when you go back. Mom and Dad will come to see you when they are free."
Gu Yun sniffed and tried to raise his head to prevent the tears from falling. Daddy had said that a man shouldn't cry.
"Mom and Dad, please take care of yourselves! If anyone bullies you, just write to Yun'er and tell him, and Yun'er will bring people to beat them up."
Hearing this, Chu Ruohan's mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes became more moist. She smiled and replied, "Okay, if someone bullies me, I will write to you and wait for you to support me."
Gu Junze leaned forward slightly, raised his hand and touched Gu Yun's head, "When you go back, you must listen to your royal brother. If you are wronged in Zheng State, you can come back anytime. Hongmeng Court will always be your home."
Gu Yun nodded vigorously, keeping Gu Junze's words firmly in mind.
Zheng Lin walked over with steady steps, "Nan'er, it's time for us to set off."
Gu Yun's expression straightened. He lifted his clothes very solemnly, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze.
He raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, "Mom, Dad, Yun'er is gone."
Chu Ruohan pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes. In the end, she forced herself to hold back and nodded silently.
Gu Junze sat in a wheelchair and nodded slightly to Gu Yun: "Take care on your journey."
Gu Yun stood up, looking back every few steps.
“Hehe…”
Xuan Ge'er's childish voice came from the back of the crowd. His little face was flushed, and his chubby little hands were tightly holding a rattle, which was the one Gu Yun often played with him.
Gu Yun had already stepped onto the carriage, but when he heard the familiar and soft voice, he turned around abruptly.
Xuan Ge'er can call me brother now. He has been teaching him for so long, but this little fool can only call me brother when he leaves.
"Xuan brother!" Gu Yun shouted loudly, wanting to get out of the car to hug him, but was gently held down by Zheng Lin.
"Nan'er, don't delay."
Gu Yun raised his arm and waved, "Xuan, be good. I'm leaving soon. You have to listen to your parents at home. I'll play with you when I come back."
Chu Ruohan took Xuan Ge'er and held him in her arms: "Xuan Ge'er, let's let our brother go. He will come back to see us."
Xuan Ge'er leaned in Chu Ruohan's arms, staring at Gu Yun with his big eyes without blinking, his little hands waving in the air, as if trying to grab something.
Gu Yun bit his lip, trying hard to hold back his tears, "Brother Xuan, goodbye. Be good."
After saying that, he hardened his heart and got into the carriage.
Zheng Lin nodded slightly to Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze, then got on the carriage and told the driver to set off.
As soon as he got into the car, Gu Yun couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried heartbreakingly.
When he grows up, he will definitely come back to find his parents.
Zheng Lin looked at Gu Yun, who was crying, raised his hand and gently touched his head without saying a word.
Chu Ruohan made up for the maternal love that his younger brother had lost since childhood. He was luckier than himself...
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze stood at the city gate, watching the carriage go away until it turned into a small black dot and disappeared at the end of the road.
Chu Ruohan's tears finally burst out and slid down her cheeks.
Gu Junze gently held her hand and said, "Let's go back." There was a hint of loneliness in his voice that was hard to conceal.
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go back."
The two turned around and slowly walked towards the city in the afterglow of the setting sun.
And every moment spent with Gu Yun turned into precious memories, deeply imprinted in their hearts.
