Chapter 509 Asking for a glass of wedding wine
Ge Xubai looked at Lu Yanxiu with admiration in his eyes.
"At such a young age, you've been able to protect your sister all the way. This kind of heart and sense of responsibility is admirable. With this kind of heart, you will definitely achieve success in anything you do in the future."
Ge Xubai had already inquired about what happened in Liwan Village. He protected his sister all the way, which saved her from being sold.
Even at the critical moment last night, he protected her with all his strength regardless of his own safety. Ge Xubai admired this kid very much.
A hint of shyness flashed in Lu Yanxiu's eyes.
"Go home quickly, your family is worried about you."
Lu Yanxiu looked at Ge Xubai, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"General Ge, I have an unwelcome request."
"you say."
Lu Yanxiu pursed his lips and asked, "Can we go with you?"
Ge Xubai was stunned, obviously not expecting him to make such a request.
"I'm not going back to Beijing, but to Diannan Prefecture. You and I are going in different directions."
Lu Yanxiu said hurriedly, "I know. I've heard that the general is getting married soon. My sister and I want to ask the general for a glass of wedding wine."
Although he was very young, he said this with such sincerity that Ge Xubai didn't know how to respond for a moment.
If others wanted to drink his wedding wine, he would naturally be happy to do so.
But these two little brats...
"The Lu family is looking for you everywhere. You'd better go home quickly, otherwise your family will worry."
Zheng Kaiyang also hurriedly said: "Young Master, I will send someone to escort you back to the capital. You will arrive in the capital in at most half a month."
Lu Yanxiu pursed his lips and didn't respond for a moment, his expression full of vigilance towards Zheng Kaiyang.
Ge Xubai realized belatedly that this child was afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake once. He was afraid that he would meet with an accident again and did not dare to trust others easily.
Therefore, he would rather follow Ge Xubai and take a detour than be escorted to Beijing by Zheng Kaiyang.
Ge Xubai was honored to be someone he trusted.
The deputy general whispered, "General, there are only three days left until the wedding."
They could certainly catch up in three days if they rode as fast as they could, but with two children in tow, that was not certain.
Lu Yanxiu immediately said, "We can hurry on and don't need to rest during the journey."
Lu Xingchen also nodded in confusion.
What my brother said is right.
Zheng Kaiyang still refused to let them go. These two people were proof of his achievements. If he let them go with Ge Xubai, wouldn’t the achievements he had made be lost?
He tried hard to force a smile and lobbied in the gentlest tone, trying to convince Lu Yanxiu.
But Lu Yanxiu treated him coldly, as if he was not buying it, and Zheng Kaiyang's smile began to fade.
But he was an old hand in the officialdom after all, and seeing the situation, he had no choice but to go with the flow and change his attitude.
"General Ge's wedding is imminent, and I didn't want to trouble you, but you can see that the two young men don't trust me, and I can't force them. So I can only trouble General Ge to escort one or two of them."
Although Ge Xubai had just stated that he did not want to take credit, it was impossible for him to really erase his name and take all the credit.
Forget it. Instead of continuing to force it and making everyone unhappy, it would be better to just give in to their wishes and hand the two of them over to Ge Xubai, so as to avoid any more setbacks during the escort process.
If he dealt with the people in Liwan Village, he could also submit a memorial to atone for his sins.
Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen stared at Ge Xubai with anticipation in their eyes.
Ge Xubai rubbed his eyebrows and finally had no choice but to agree.
If he really missed the wedding date, it would be the fault of these two burdens.
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Yanxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had heard of the name Ge Xubai, who was a general of Xiping and a great hero who guarded the border.
He had just asked someone and found out that the person Ge Xubai was going to marry was the granddaughter of the King of Southern Yunnan, and the cousin of the prince.
And his nominal elder sister is the Crown Princess.
With these relationships, Ge Xubai suddenly became one of our own, at least more reliable than Zheng Kaiyang.
He also found out that it was Ge Xubai who proposed to Zheng Kaiyang to lift the martial law and spread the news that the human traffickers had been captured, which made the Yang family relax their vigilance and take the bait.
Ge Xubai is their real savior. Following him, they don’t have to worry about encountering danger.
Even if I return to the capital a little later, it will be more reassuring.
Lu Yan was about to leave when he heard a heart-wrenching cry from behind him.
"Brother Yanxiu, please don't leave. Didn't you say you loved me the most? You can't leave me!"
Lotus struggled to run over here, her face full of tears.
Lu Yanxiu turned to look at her, his eyes no longer had the tenderness of the past, only endless indifference.
The words he spoke were colder than a knife.
"You're so young and yet you've already helped them do evil. I don't know how many sins are stained on your hands. I don't even have time to hate you, so how could I possibly like you? Wake up."
Upon hearing this, Hehua broke down and burst into tears, but was quickly scolded by the officer. Liao quickly pulled the man back and covered his mouth with her hand.
Yang Dazhu was looking at someone among the soldiers in a daze.
That man was clearly a vendor selling candy figurines, but now he has transformed into a majestic military commander.
Yang Dazhu's dull mind finally came to its senses. It turned out that everything was a trap. They set up the trap carefully and waited for the fish to take the bait.
It was me who led them here, it was me who harmed everyone!
Yang Dazhui figured it out and immediately broke down and cried.
Lu Yanxiu ignored the voice behind him.
He was worried about the tall horse in front of him.
He never learned to ride a horse.
The Lu family only hired a teacher to teach him how to ride, but did not hire anyone to teach him how to ride a horse.
Just as he was worrying, he felt his body flying into the air.
Ge Xubai reached out, grabbed his armpit, pulled him up from the ground, and placed him steadily on the horse's back.
Immediately afterwards, the same procedure was followed and Lu Xingchen was also carried onto the horse.
Ge Xubai jumped on his horse and said, "I'll find you a carriage when we get to the city. Sit tight."
In order to accommodate the two children, Ge Xubai worked slowly, as if he was playing house.
Zheng Kaiyang was still very capable and ordered people to prepare a spacious and comfortable carriage for them in advance. As soon as Lu Xingchen got on the carriage, he fell asleep.
Lu Yanxiu was also very sleepy, but his spirit was still tense.
He kept his ears perked up to listen to the voices outside, and from time to time he would lift the curtain to look out. Only when he saw the familiar figure of Ge Xubai could he relax.
Ge Xubai noticed his little action, so he deliberately slowed down and rode by the window of the carriage.
When Lu Yanxiu lifted the curtain and looked out for the umpteenth time, his eyes met Ge Xubai's.
Ge Xubai looked at him with amusement. "Since you've decided to get on my carriage, you must trust me wholeheartedly. It's too late for you to be on guard now. Boy, get a good night's sleep and don't overwork yourself."
Lu Yanxiu's secrets were exposed and his face turned red.
But the worry just now was also soothed, and was replaced by peace of mind.
Completely relaxed, sleepiness swept over him, and Lu Yanxiu finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
