37, leave
Although his heart is faintly sad, Zhou Huan still has to admit that the seventh prince is Cheng Yuanjia's best choice, and he is very happy to become a existence that can ignore life and death for her and remind her occasionally.
Cheng Yuanjia is already very happy that he can see him off alone on the road this time, which means that he is not a stranger in her eyes.
Cheng Yuanjia saw Zhou Huan leave without looking back, and there was a burst of loss in her heart. Thousands of years ago, she took the initiative to leave Zhou Qianyun, and then the two were separated from each other. At that time, she didn't look back.
Zhou Huan walked about two miles away. Sure enough, he saw a group of servants stopping all the pedestrians. When he saw him coming, he took away the barricade and made way for him. Zhou Huan sighed that Cheng Yuanjia was really domineering, and this row could be close to the one sitting on the dragon chair.
At the same time, he also found that the passers-by who were stopped did not have much resentment. Several of them were even very happy in rovers. When they left, they kept bowing and thanking the domestic slaves. Lenovo Cheng Yuanjia bought the most luxurious restaurant in the capital without blinking her eyes. She must have paid for these people.
The fact is that as Zhou Huan guessed, Cheng Yuanjia sent people to set up roadblocks at both ends of the official road to stop pedestrians, and gave 20 taels of silver to each person who was stopped. You should know that an ordinary farmer has worked hard for a year, and his income is only about 20 or 30 taels of silver. After paying the rent, the last one used to maintain the family is only a few taels at most. He got these twenty taels of silver in vain, which can make his family live comfortably for two or three years.
Of course, there are also some people who don't care about silver. These people don't dare to make it when they see the clothes of domestic slaves. Although I don't understand why they want to stop passers-by, the roadblocks set up by Prince Qian's Mansion are not something that they can break through casually.
No one saw how Cheng Yuanjia returned to Prince Qian's mansion. The orders received by the domestic slaves were only to set up a roadblock. The roadblock in the direction of entering the city would be released as long as Zhou Huan passed, and the roadblock in the direction of leaving the city was only stopped for one hour. Whether anyone came or not, they would be released. Cheng Yuanjia was rich, and this action cost thousands of taels, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.
The king of Qi and the seventh prince soon learned about Cheng Yuanjia's great deal afterwards. Neither of them understood why she did this. If it was just to see her off, she could go with them, but she had to see her off halfway alone and stopped both ends. Obviously, she didn't want people to see her off.
The king of Qi looked at the seventh prince and said with a wry smile, "I always thought you could occupy her heart steadily. It seems that I still miscalculated the woman's heart, especially the mind of this county magistrate. No one can grasp it."
"I once said that there was a very big secret hidden in her heart. This thought made her live a hard life, but I checked her growth process and couldn't find any clues." The seventh prince sighed, "I think all her inexplicable actions are related to this secret in her heart."
"Have you ever thought of another possibility?" The king of Qi was not as optimistic as him. He said, "Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes. Zhou Huan is not very old, and he is even better-fashioned. He has strong martial arts skills and is familiar with military strategies. It is a certainty to make contributions on the battlefield. When he comes back, he will be a hero with outstanding achievements. In addition, he once saved her in the hands of the assassin, and it was not impossible for her to secretly promise Zhou Huanfang.
The seventh prince said sadly, "Of course I thought about it, but this is her choice. What can I do? In the past two years, Yuanjia has just regarded me as a confidant and friend. In her heart, she may never have considered me.
"In fact, there is a way for you to know your position in her heart." The king of Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Huan joined the army this time. She went to see him off alone. If you also go to the army, what will she do? If she comes to see you off alone, it means that she also cares about you very much. If she doesn't care at all, she doesn't have to be sad for her in the future.
"This..." The seventh prince hesitated, "If she doesn't come to see me off, will she let me give up on her?"
"Since she only treats you as an ordinary friend, you can also treat her as a friend, that's fine." The king of Qi patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "If you are predestined and your father gives you a marriage, you still have a chance to become a couple. After all, her marriage is related to the face of the royal family, and she will not let her marry casually.
"But how can I go to the army? Do you want to find the big brother?" The seventh prince said in a panic.
Among the many princes, the coldest one is the eldest prince, King Wu. Not to mention that the seventh prince is afraid of him, even the King of Qi dares not approach him too much.
"There is no need for that. The King of Wu is on the northern border, which is a place of bitter cold. You, who have been spoiled in the palace since you were a child, can't stand it. I can find Prince Qian to see if there is any place suitable for you to go and it won't be too hard." The king of Qi looked at his favorite brother pitiously and said, "In fact, it is very good for you to let you go to the army to experience. Your personality is too soft and lacks tenacity and decisive temperament, which can be honed in the army."
The seventh prince thought for a moment and said, "Well, just ask my brother to arrange it for me. I also want to go out and see the outside world."
Cheng Yuanjia didn't know her farewell, which directly led to the sad distance of the seventh prince. By the time she knew it, it was already seven days later that the seventh prince came to say goodbye to her.
"Are you going to Minzhou?" Cheng Yuanjia frowned and said, "Why is it so sudden?"
"It's what I asked. I've never left the capital. Even if I hunt with my father, it's near the capital." The seventh prince looked at Cheng Yuanjia's elegant tea for him, and suddenly felt very reluctant. Even if she didn't have his place in her heart, as long as she could look at her, she would be very satisfied, right?
"Since it's your decision, I won't stop you. I hope you have a good journey." Cheng Yuanjia picked up the glass and said, "I'll replace the wine with tea first. I wish you all the best on your trip."
"If it weren't for my decision, would you stop me?" When the seventh prince heard what she said, he couldn't help but be refreshed.
"Although you have read military books, you are just talking about soldiers on paper. In addition, you have lived in the palace since you were a child and were suddenly transferred to the army. If it is not out of voluntariness, someone must want to kill you. As long as I have the ability, of course I will prevent this kind of thing from happening. However, your own request is different. The place you go to will definitely ensure your safety. Cheng Yuanjia drank all the tea in her hand and smiled and said, "You have never been far away. If you need anything, please tell me that the Cheng family's industry is all over the country. Minzhou belongs to the south. It is the power of the Cheng family. It is very convenient to do it at any time."
The seventh prince also drank the tea, put down the teacup and watched Cheng Yuanjia fill it up for him again. He said, "I've been there for about a year. During this period, the water for your tea was still brought to you by the emperor, but no one accompanied you to taste tea and play chess."
"I'll wait for you to come back." Cheng Yuanjia thought for a moment and said, "You can help me collect the good black tea produced in Minzhou. With your ability, you should find some of the best tea."
"That's true." The seventh prince smiled, but deep in his smile was a thousand reluctance.
Cheng Yuanjia hesitated for a while and said, "How's Liu Shaoyun last time?"
"It's Zicheng's cousin. This man is really a talent, but I don't know why he has no interest in his official career. He just acts as a document by the Marquis Zhong's side, which can be regarded as helping his uncle." The seventh prince sighed, "I wanted to recruit him, but he disdained me and said that he would not become a member of the power struggle in the court. I advised him to take the scientific examination a year later. He said that he didn't think about working hard for a small official position at all.
"I'll take care of this person. I will see him willingly be your staff when you come back." Cheng Yuanjia said thoughtfully.
The seventh prince's heart was warm. It turned out that she had been thinking about me. With a confidant like her, it was worth it in her life.
The seventh prince sat for about half an hour and left. Before leaving, Cheng Yuanjia still held him and hugged her for a while. Thinking that the two were thousands of miles apart for a year, the seventh prince couldn't help hugging the beautiful woman in his arms tightly.
The next day, in the name of the governor, the seventh prince, with the imperial edict, left the city from the south gate under the arrangement of the king of Qi and left the capital and went straight to Minzhou.
