Chapter 17 Bianliang
At dawn, there are few people on the street, and the Fireworks and Willow Alley, which is only brightly lit in the dark night, is extremely quiet.
The gate of Feiyan Building was tightly closed, only the two red lanterns hanging under the eaves told of the splendor and luxury of the place last night.
Gu Xichao stood quietly in front of the Feiyan Tower. No one knew when he came and how long he had been standing there, but judging from his shoulders that were wet with dew, he had really been standing there for a long time up.
Fortunately, the time is special at this moment, otherwise, if a half-grown boy stood at the door of the brothel for a long time, he would definitely attract countless attentions.
He stood there all the time, as if he didn't feel tired at all, and there was an emotion in his black eyes that no one could guess.
The sky gradually turned white, pedestrians began to appear on the street, and some guests who slept in flowers and willows also came out slowly.
But even so, Gu Xichao had no intention of leaving at all.
There was the sound of rustling clothes, and the footsteps approached, and the deep male voice behind him made him let go of his tense body.
"We're leaving."
Gu Xichao pursed her lips, and said aggrievedly: "She still refuses to see me..."
Although he didn't like his weakness, Lu Chongming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's not that you won't come back. When you grow up and have the ability, you can come back to see her at any time. Presumably she won't be there at that time." will reject you."
Gu Xi's eyes lit up, and hesitantly said: "When I grow up, will she really want to see me?"
"Hmm!" Lu Chongming replied indifferently. Back then, he didn't know why Ru Niang insisted on leaving, but now that he has lived in this world for several years, he still understands some things.
It's all about identity, other people's eyes, and Xiao Gu's future. When Xiao Gu has the ability and status to do whatever she wants, she should meet him. Yes, after all, Xiao Gu is her only son, and if the parents had no choice, who would be willing not to see each other for the rest of their lives.
Gu Xichao believed in Lu Chongming's words very much. At this moment, because of his comfort, he couldn't help but look away, and tightly held the big hand extended by the other party with his right hand.
"Let's go." He raised his chin and smiled a little forcedly.
Lu Chongming rubbed his head, took his hand and left slowly.
"Don't worry, I told others to take good care of your mother, she will never be bullied."
"Thank you, father." Gu Xichao turned his head to look at the closed door of the Feiyan Tower for the last time, and finally turned around without looking back.
Therefore, he didn't see that the window on the second floor of the Feiyan Building was quietly pushed open a crack, and a pair of reddish eyes were fixed on him until the two figures, one big and one small, disappeared... …
When Lu Chongming left Yanzhou, he left in a grand manner. People saw him off, subordinates saw him off, and even a few old stubborn people who were often at odds with him on weekdays came to see him off, which surprised him.
He actually doesn't have any friends in Yanzhou, which is related to his relatively indifferent temperament, and more importantly, he doesn't want to make any friends here, so he thought that when he left, he was just two cars of luggage, and he left in a deserted place. , I didn't expect so many people to see him off.
This shows that everything he has done in Yanzhou in the past few years has been recognized by others.
That alone is worth it.
Lu Chongming left without worries, neatly, with only his son Xiao Gu, the old housekeeper, Bai Mingmo, two coachmen, and four servants with him.
Originally, Zhu Muyang wanted to take someone to see him off, so as not to encounter bandits and other disasters on the way, but Lu Chongming refused. Without Bai Ming, he could deal with a lot of tickets by himself, so he was not worried.
Bai Mingmo lived in Gu's mansion for three years. He was Gu Xichao's master in name, but he also held the position of master. Lu Chongming trusted him but was wary of him.
In the past few years, he regarded him as his right-hand man, and many things were entrusted to him. With Bai Mingmo's ability, he really solved his problems, and even benefited him a lot from civil affairs. He used him, Because the employer is not suspicious, he is on guard against him, because the other party's ambition is too great.
So he took Bai Mingmo away from Yanzhou. Other things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to worry too much about it. He was worried about the bomb being placed there.
As for what the other party thinks, and whether he has seen his defense against him, Lu Chongming doesn't know, and he doesn't want to find out, but for ambitious people, Bianliang should be a better stage than Yanzhou.
From Yanzhou to Bianliang, the distance was not short, and the journey went smoothly. There were occasional small troubles, which were also solved by Bai Mingmo. It was not until the beginning of April that the group finally arrived at their destination.
As the capital of the Song Dynasty, at the foot of the emperor, and the center of politics and culture, Bianliang was extremely prosperous.
After several years of governance in Yanzhou, the barrenness of the war has faded and gradually gained popularity, but compared with Bianliang, it is simply the difference between the indigenous tribes and the bustling towns, even if they come all the way, there are no more people than here of the city.
Gu Xichao was lying on the window of the car, his eyes shining brightly when looking outside, obviously he had never seen such a lively place before, and he was extremely excited.
Seeing that he couldn't sit still, Lu Chongming didn't want to spoil his interest, so he suggested, "Would you like to go down for a stroll?"
Gu Xichao's answer was to nod vigorously, as if he was afraid that the other party would withdraw his proposal if he nodded too slowly.
So the father and son got out of the carriage and started strolling among the crowd.
Although everything here was new to Lu Chongming, he was not a lively person after all, so he quickly asked Bai Mingmo to follow, and he sat back in the carriage, falling behind the two of them not too far away.
A child's energy is really boundless, especially a child who has practiced martial arts. Lu Chongming has been called back for the third time, but what he gets is still a reply after a while, some snacks, clay figurines, windmills and other messy little things. The gadgets were sent onto the carriage intermittently.
Holding a bunch of bright red candied haws in his hand, Lu Chongming sighed. He didn't expect that a person who had always acted so mature would have such a childish side. Really too harsh?
But just as he was reflecting on himself, a sudden noise in the distance caught his attention.
The originally bustling street suddenly fell silent, the sound of conversation, hawking, shouting...as if someone had pressed the pause button, only the sound of horseshoes approaching.
"Is the one in the car Gu Lanxi?"
This voice is still very young, a little frivolous, a little arrogant, and people don't think the other person is a pleasing person after hearing it.
Lu Chongming pushed open the car door, stood on the shaft, and saw the dozen or so people on horseback at a glance.
The head of the person is really not very old, not more than 20 years old at most, but he has an arrogant expression, prosperous clothes, and the people who have automatically avoided the side of the road since he appeared, and they dare not even take a breath. This person's status must be extraordinary, even in Bianliang, where there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries, he can walk sideways.
The young man on the horse looked him up and down, and said with some disdain: "Gu Lanxi, Mr. Gu, in my opinion, it's nothing more than that. Unfortunately, my father always praises you as the best in the world. Today Seeing it is disappointing."
Anyone who was ridiculed by this ridicule would probably be offended, but Lu Chongming said flatly without even raising his eyebrows: "I don't know you."
A simple sentence made the young man extremely angry. He slapped his whip and said angrily, "My surname is Gu. I haven't seen you for three years. You forgot my son's name. Do you still pay attention to my father?" !"
Lu Chongming raised his eyebrows, the old acquaintance of the original owner?After thinking for a long time, he finally found the memory about him from an inconspicuous corner. The moment he remembered it, he calmly said: "You are you, your father is your father, and I don't see you in my eyes and I don't care about you." What does it matter if you see your father? If you don't have your father, who will see you?"
The young man's face was livid, and even a middle-aged man who was following him couldn't help casting a surprised glance.
He quickly stopped the young man who was about to lose his temper, and whispered in his ear: "Third Young Master, calm down, don't forget the Prime Minister's orders."
The middle-aged man's status is obviously not low, even the grumpy young man gave him three points, he restrained his anger, raised his chin, and said in a cold voice: "Father wants to see you, if you are sensible, come with me !"
Thinking of the identity of the other party, he naturally knew who his father was. He was already mentally prepared for the fact that he was known by that person as soon as he entered the capital and was directly invited into the mansion, so he was not very surprised.
If the other party doesn't even have this ability, then he can still be the prime minister of a country.
Lu Chongming held the door frame of the car door, looked around, and then said to the two people who were standing in the crowd watching the excitement, "Come back, I don't have time for you to go shopping."
Gu Xichao stuck out her tongue and climbed into the carriage with a bunch of gadgets.
The wheels started rolling again, and after more than a dozen riders, Gu Xichao dragged his chin and asked, "Father, who is that ugly and fierce man?"
Lu Chongming touched his head and said flatly: "A person of no importance."
He is indeed an unimportant person. Neither Lu Chongming nor the former Gu Lanxi took him seriously. He is just a useless dude who acts recklessly just because his father is the prime minister. How can such a person deserve to let him go? on heart.
Gu Xichao blinked and asked again: "Then where are we going now?"
This time, Lu Chongming did not answer, because the Prime Minister's Mansion was right in front of him.
