Chapter 15 Returning to Beijing

When he came outside the capital, Zong Xiao found an excuse to separate himself from Xu Jinghong and his party and left. In fact, along the way, Xu Jinghong has seen that his identity is very unusual, at least the son of a big man in the court, so when he saw that he did not want to reveal his identity, he did not force it. After a few days of meeting with him, he let him leave.

"There is no good reason why Zong is good. Even if he is polite, he should invite us into his house. Why did he leave so self-righteous without saying a word? After seeing him leave, Xiong Geng muttered unhappily.

For this, Xu Jinghong just smiled: "The other party's identity doesn't want to be shown casually, that's why they do this. Even if he really invited us to his house, I'm afraid it's not out of sincerity. Why force it? Well, everyone is tired of coming here by boat all the way. You can go to the city and find an inn to have a rest.

"The team is talking about us, what about you?" Tian Dahu heard what he meant and asked.

"I want to go to another place." Xu Jinghong said that there was sadness and remembrance in his eyes. For two years, he had never visited his mother's grave, and he didn't know what had happened there. Whether his mother's grave was still there after that time. Now he is eager to go there to see clearly so that he can have an explanation for himself.

"Since this is where the team wants to go, we should accompany ourselves!" Someone immediately said, "The journey of the boat has bumped us up. We are about to take a good walk and get used to it!"

After a while of silence, Xu Jinghong nodded and said, "Since my brothers have this heart, let me go." He felt that everything in his past should not be a secret in front of these brothers.

The crowd walked slowly. About half an hour later, they finally came to a small hill. Looking at this familiar and strange place, Xu Jinghong was actually nervous. Maybe it was close to his hometown. When he came to his mother and told her about his situation over the years, he also had some different feelings, who had always been afraid of anything.

Everyone also clearly felt Xu Jinghong's thoughts. They all dismount and slowly climbed to the hill.

The hill is still the hill, but the appearance of the small tomb at the top has changed greatly at this time. Originally, it was just a small mound with a stone monument standing on it, but now it is very magnificent. The tombstone alone is more than ten feet high and half a foot wide. And the tomb is made of bluestone slabs, which looks very elegant.

If it weren't for the big characters engraved on the tombstone - the tomb of the mother's dance clothes, the unfilial son Xu Jinghong crying - could still show the identity of the tomb owner, Xu Jinghong couldn't believe that this was his mother's grave.

He slowly walked to the tomb and carefully looked at the grave that had changed greatly. He had not made any action for a long time. But there was a big wave in his heart. He still remembers everything at the beginning. His mother's remains were found out of the thin coffin, and the grave was even more messy... But when he came here after two years, how could everything change? What the hell is going on? Who did this?

And the brothers around him did not know that Xu Jinghong's heart was now full of doubts, only when he came to his mother's grave and lost his temper because of sadness. No one came to comfort him. Everyone knew the mood of a child who had been away from his parents for a long time, so they all showed respect and pity.

Since the mother of the team is buried here, that is the mother of all the brothers! After a while, everyone also knelt down to the tomb and kowtowed to the monument one after another.

Seeing the brothers' behavior, Xu Jinghong came out of his thoughts and knelt down as a family member and gave them back. This is the etiquette of the Chinese nation, so the brothers are calm about it.

It was not until these etiquette arrived that everyone silently went down the hill and left time for Xu Jinghong. At this time, they knew why Xu Jinghong came here alone. In front of his mother's grave, he always had something to say alone.

"Mom... the child is back! After two years of experience, the child is no longer the little domestic slave who could be bullied at will! Just watch quietly here and watch how the children get rid of those guys who killed you and caused you to be disturbed after entering the earth one by one! ...The child has lived well in the southwest over the years, and there are many good brothers who take care of each other. You can rest assured under the nine springs..."

He muttered a lot. It was not until an hour later that Xu Jinghong slowly walked down from the hill. At this time, his expression returned to his previous perseverance, and the light in his eyes flashed again: "Let's go, everyone into the capital! I think the Fang family will be surprised by our appearance!"

Everyone responded, then turned over their horses together, and then went straight to the gate of Daliang.

Among these people, except Xu Jinghong, have never been to the capital of the Song Dynasty, so when they saw the towering walls and wide streets, they all expressed their heartfelt admiration. Compared with cities such as Yunzhou on the border, the beam is many times higher in scale and environment, which makes all soldiers have an eye-opener.

After Wang Liehai, the general, this is also the first time he came to the beam. Looking at the gate hole that is five feet high and more than ten feet wide, he couldn't help saying, "If the gate of Dingxi is so tall, I don't think the barbarians have the courage to attack at all!"

After checking their official order and knowing that they were sergeants, the soldiers guarding the gate put the "dangerous elements" riding horses and armed weapons into the city. And their dress also attracted the attention of the people in front of the gate. Everyone looked curiously at these simple but heroic young people and guessed their identity.

This makes people who have been in the army and almost inconspicuous are a little uncomfortable. Xu Jinghong also sensed this embarrassment and said to Wang Liehai with a smile, "It seems that we will live in the beam for a while. Today, we have to find a spacious house to rent it first, and it's not too late to report to the Ministry of War tomorrow.

"What Jinghong said. It's just that we are new here, where can we rent a house? With that, Wang Liehai frowned: "If you know, you should ask that Xiao."

"Ha, why did you forget that I was originally a Daliang man?" Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Xu Jinghong couldn't help smiling and reminded him. Wang Liehai thought of this and said with a smile, "I really forgot. It's also because the capital's style, influenced by its momentum, and I completely lost my previous judgment!"

"Let's go, let me go to Liren City, where there are dental stores specializing in renting and selling houses!" Xu Jinghong said and walked head, and the brothers behind him followed him with a smile.

They did not find that at the gate over there, one of the gatekeepers who had just checked their identity suddenly spoke to the officer beside them and left the gate and ran to the west.

Liren City, located in the southwest of Daliang City, is a market for ordinary people to buy and sell all daily necessities. From firewood, rice, oil and salt, to jewelry and jade, houses, everything can be bought from this market covering an area of nearly 100 mu. As Xu Jinghong, who has lived in Daliang City for many years, even if he doesn't buy much because of his identity, he still knows more about the situation there. Naturally, he knows what to do if he wants to live in a house.

The capital is the capital, with a population of one million, which is much more crowded than a small city like Yunzhou. Along the way, everyone felt the crowd of the beam. But as soon as they looked in at the entrance of Liren City, everyone knew that the congestion just now was just a small matter.

In this 100-acre market, hundreds of shops have been opened, making the roads inside more crowded. What's more, those small vendors carrying burdens have occupied half of the road, which has compressed the space that people in the market can pass through to the extreme, and the people inside have completely rubbed their shoulders.

Looking at this scene, all the sergeants showed surprise, but since they came to the Liren City, it was naturally impossible to retreat, so everyone bravely went in. While looking at the variety of goods around and carefully moving forward, everyone's mood seems to slowly rise, feeling that this kind of life is also different.

At this time, the crowd in front of them suddenly let out a scream, and the people who were originally crowded suddenly gave way to both sides, accompanied by the overturn of the pavement.

"This is..." Xu Jinghong was also at a loss when he saw this scene, and then several people heard a familiar sound from the voice, which was the sound of the hooves of a fast horse falling to the ground.

"It's a shocking horse!" Xu Jinghong immediately saw a fast horse with no one on his back rushing straight from the front. Wherever the fast horse went, people dodged one after another, and many people were hit by horses and flew out because they could not dodge. As for the stalls brought by the horseshoe or blown down by the wind hit by it, there are countless stallions.

The horse came straight to their side. Xu Jinghong quickly pulled his horse and retreated aside, and held the reins tightly in his hand for fear that the horse would also startle his horse. Just as they dodged, Xu Jinghong's eyes suddenly condensed. He found that in the direction of the horse, a four- or five-year-old child was falling to the ground and crying, and the horse was less than a few feet away from him!
