Chapter 365 Return to the Capital

But since the people from the Great Jin were nearby, he did not say much. He turned around to look at the carriages that had already been replaced with horses, and with a command, he set off towards Sui'an City.

The war horses are from Daxing, and the horse riders are also from Daxing, so the speed has the final say over all of them.

On two occasions, the people who followed with the Great Jin showed more or less discomfort, but they did not stop the team. Instead, they left people at the post stations in various places to "take care" of them and then left.

It is really strange. The team that hurried eastward with a large number of congratulatory gifts should have taken about two months to arrive.

But they arrived outside Sui'an City in mid-June.

Looking at the three large gold-plated characters hanging high above the city gate, the eldest prince and the ninth prince both had complicated and weary expressions on their faces.

They had previously thought of delaying for a while here and there, and it would be best if they could delay it until August. This way, they would be able to see the rich harvest of autumn in Daxing, and when they returned to Dajin, they would have a basis for improvement and change based on these situations.

But now, all their efforts were in vain. Even if they had the intention, they could only see the bustle of the lotus pond and the shady green trees in midsummer.

"My Lord, Prime Minister Guo is already waiting at the post station. Let's go over now."

The eldest prince had traveled all the way here, and although he had also fought in battles, he still felt a little overwhelmed by such a strong pace. But when he saw Gu Shaoyu opposite him and even the soldiers behind him, who were all exhausted but looked very well-mannered, he admired them but also felt a little wary.

"Okay, General Gu, please!"

After that, the whole team headed towards the city. The Ninth Prince, who had been cursing all the time, was now sleeping in a daze in the carriage. The flesh on both sides of his thighs was rubbed off and bleeding, but it didn't get better.

Because the weather was extremely hot and his wound was getting inflamed, he was in so much pain that he couldn't ride a horse. He could only sit in the carriage that Luo Yuan had specially prepared for him.

He was not shaking at all, but as soon as he got on the carriage he fell into a deep sleep, as if someone had drugged him and he could not be woken up no matter how hard people called him.

So, when he first arrived in Cezhou, he was as strong as a bear, but now the Ninth Prince was as weak as if he had been hung on a tree in the sun for three days.

This was the first time that the eldest prince appeared in the capital of Daxing, so their unusual clothing, hairstyle and team attracted the attention of many people.

Especially after seeing Gu Shaoyu, the people in Sui'an City all started shouting.

"General Gu is back! General Gu is back!"

Hearing this, the eldest prince couldn't help but glance at Gu Shaoyu. It was obvious that he had a serious face from beginning to end, so many words were left unsaid.

Walking northwards, you will see an inn in the northwest.

The Prime Minister Guo mentioned by Gu Shaoyu was also waiting here with several ministers of the court. After seeing Gu Shaoyu and the eldest prince, he took two steps forward and said with a smile in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Guo Rubin greets the envoy of the Great Jin."

Prime Minister Guo is already old. If he were in the Great Jin, he would have been wrapped in all kinds of pains. How could he have such aura and performance? The eldest prince saw it and knew that this was the nourishing feng shui of Daxing, so he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After getting off the horse, he also followed Guo Xiang's example, clasped his fists and bowed his head slightly before speaking.

"Bacchus has met with Prime Minister Guo. Sorry for the long wait."

"You are too polite, my Lord. This is the courtesy of our Daxing Dynasty. You have been tired from the journey. Please come into the inn. Everything is ready. In addition, I have brought two doctors with me this time. They will treat the Ninth Prince later."

The eldest prince was a little stunned, but he quickly understood and replied with a smile.

"My ninth brother is having some difficulty acclimatizing to the local climate. Minister Guo is sorry to see him."

"You are welcome, Your Highness."

"please."

Afterwards, Prime Minister Guo took the eldest prince inside, and Gu Shaoyu followed closely behind. As for the ninth prince, he was naturally carried into the inn, and the rest of the congratulatory gifts were watched by Wei Lun and Ni Yang, who put them into the warehouse box by box and sent two hundred soldiers to guard the place before they felt relieved.

Once these congratulatory ceremonies are included in the Ministry of Rites' register, their Tiger Guards will be considered to have successfully completed the task, so no one will take it lightly at this time.

When you enter the inn, you are greeted by a familiar environment.

It can be seen that Prime Minister Guo had made serious preparations. The furnishings inside were unique to the Great Jin Dynasty, so when the eldest prince saw it, his smile was much more sincere.

"They say Guo Xiangwen can rule the world, he is really amazing! This king likes it very much."

"As long as the eldest prince likes them, these two are maids sent from the palace. They used to serve the concubine, so they are very good at serving. If the eldest prince needs them, they can stay by his side and serve him."

Gu Shaoyu looked at the two unfamiliar people in front of him, and was quite puzzled by Guo Xiang's behavior.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

What was the purpose of sending two bed-warming slaves? Was he trying to find out what the eldest prince was thinking? Before he could figure it out, he saw that the eldest prince had already accepted it with pleasure, and said with great satisfaction.

"Thank you for your consideration, Prime Minister. I like it very much."

The two palace maids stood there, as if they were not the ones being talked about, with a very calm attitude. One of them even raised her eyes slightly with some excitement, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at the eldest prince.

Seeing this, the eldest prince, who had not been near a woman for a long time, naturally had some reaction.

Minister Guo said without changing his expression.

"In that case, the eldest prince should rest first. His Majesty will naturally summon the envoys to meet him in three days. However, the ninth prince's injury..."

Prime Minister Guo was not afraid that anything would happen if the Ninth Prince did not show up. After all, it was just a polite remark, and he had to say a few words to show his hospitality as a host.

"It's alright. Ninth brother originally came with me to see the customs and practices of Daxing. I will make the final decision on the matter of paying respects to you!"

"Well, the eldest prince should take a rest first. I will come to bother you again tomorrow!"

"Go slowly, Prime Minister Guo, and go slowly, General Gu!"

After the three of them said goodbye, Guo Xiang and Gu Shaoyu went out. Before they stepped out of the yard, they heard the sound of a woman and a man laughing from inside. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu was even more surprised, and his expression was full of confusion when he looked at Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiangze patted the back of his hand and said.

"Let's go. After the celebration is over, don't you have to rush back to Jinling City?"

His words successfully diverted Gu Shaoyu's attention. Yes, what he was most concerned about now was his wife's pregnancy, so what the Great Jin Prince would do was not something he could care less about.
