Chapter 186 Come with me to Beijing
"Is there any news from the capital?" He picked up two documents casually.

"There is big news from the capital!" After the words fell, Xie Peng quickly walked in from outside with a few letters: "The emperor has sent a secret decree!"

Huo Rong raised his head.

Xie Peng stopped under the threshold, his breath still not very calm: "Song Yi suddenly asked for leave and left Beijing, the resumption of shipping is tantamount to stranded, Gu Lian suddenly proposed to resume shipping five days ago, and also asked for the commander of the five armies The government dispatched soldiers to escort and fight against the Japanese!
"The emperor refuted it on the grounds of insufficient salary, but Gu Lian chased after him, like a mad dog biting a person's trouser leg, and he has no intention of letting go!
"They saw that Song Zhi had withdrawn halfway, and they were unwilling to reconcile, and wanted to drag Song Yong into the mud pit again, and then dragged the soldiers of the five army battalions into the mud pit to pay for it.

"If something goes wrong, Song Cheng must be responsible for it!"

Xie Peng presented the letter paper, and quickly said: "The emperor wants you to prepare to return to Beijing as soon as possible! —— You should take a look first!"

After Huo Rong finished reading, Zhi table stood up.

……

Changying came back after lunch at Song's house.

Shaoqing and the others could tell from the look on her face that she was going well this time.

Although I don't know what her intentions are in making friends with Song Cheng, but it is a good thing that the task is accomplished again.

After returning to the room, Zixiang came in and said: "Xiuxiu also sent a letter, saying that the house he was looking for for us has already been taken care of, and the location is in Osmanthus alley on the side of Shuntianfu School.

"Half of the officials on the same street are officials from the capital, and they said that the girl knew about it. At present, only a deposit has been given, and the money will be paid after the girl has seen it in person when she introduces it."

Last month, Ling Yuan said that she would be transferred to Jishanwei. After thinking about it, Changying made a plan to ask Xiuxiu to help with the arrangements first.

But Ling Yuan didn't urge him anymore, and Chang Ying decided to play a fool for the time being.

Although he was already prepared to go back and face it, how could he be so calm in his heart?It is really impossible to face the old people's homeland without any trace.

These matters were handed over to Zixiang, and she was still working in the guard on time for the next two days.

There is no need for her to come and supervise the pier every day. Since there are new generals to replace Xu Lan and Su Xinrong, there are enough people and there are no moths. Changying usually comes back every two or three days.

In the afternoon, I went to the dock. Seeing that it was still early in the day, I found the shade of a tree on the river bank where I usually stayed.

It is midsummer, boats come and go on the river, and there are many large ships carrying officials and family members passing by at the pier. On the other side of the river, there are children running and playing on the river beach. The fragrance of grass and trees is a pleasant summer scene in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Changying." She was swimming with narrowed eyes when someone came by her side, and Huo Rong stood in front of her holding his sword.

They don't see each other very often recently, and even if they do, it's related to the bad things before.

Chang Ying, who was half lying down, sat up and nodded: "You are here."

Huo Rong sat down on the grass beside her: "Is the Song family's affairs settled?"

It is a good thing that Song Cheng finally gave up the idea of ​​fighting against the Gu family. There are not many ministers in the court who dare to oppose the Gu family and the East Palace.

What Changying did a while ago was to get Song Yan to stop. She did it, and he secretly rejoiced that Song Yan was still in court, so that when he returned to the capital in the future, he could still win his support.

"Okay," Changying said, "I heard that the old lady will return to Beijing after her birthday."

The south wind made people lazy, and even the voice was slower than usual.

Huo Rong broke a blade of grass in front of him and said, "When are you going to leave? Are you sure you want to follow Ling Yuan's instructions and go to Jishanwei?"

Changying looked at the river: "It's not certain. Jishanwei is a camp under the command of the Feng family. If I go, Uncle Dongyang may be a little embarrassed.

"But even if I don't go to Jishanwei, I will ask General Tan to help me transfer to the capital when I turn back. I don't know when I will leave. The timing is right. I may just leave."

Shaoqing's father and Ling Yan were sworn brothers. Unlike others, he must have been very saddened by Ling Yan's death, and it was impossible for him to trust her as easily as Ling Yuan.

Even though Ling Yuan settled her there, she was also thinking about returning to Beijing, but it would be best not to cause inconvenience to them.

And this favor, Tan Shao can also help her.

After all, all the things that should be done have been done, and the rank has been promoted. Song Yi has already made him owe him a favor here, and he will only meet and make friends after returning to Beijing.

There is only half a year left, and if you are lucky, you can make some more contributions, but it may not be possible to make great achievements in a short period of time. She came from a previous life and knows what will happen in the future.

So, time doesn't seem so urgent anymore.

"What about you?" Changying asked, "What are your plans?"

He is here on a mission for the emperor, and he will not stay in Nankangwei for too long.

The chant of the trackers came from under the embankment, and the noise of the pier was heard a mile or two away, making the shade of trees even quieter.

Huo Rong didn't answer. Instead, he raised his chin and pointed not far away: "Do you still remember that you bumped into me here and asked me to watch the merchant ship for you?"

Changying remembered.It's only three or four months, how can I not remember.She raised her lips and said: "You were still cold to me at that time." In her heart, she regarded her as a bad woman who "became messy and abandoned".

Huo Rong also smiled: "It won't happen in the future."

Chang Ying leaned against the tree trunk, hugged her knees, and did not make a sound.

She can't imagine all the "futures". Although the things she should do are still going on, after she leaves, she will return to Shen Ying, and this nominal husband will become her "ex-husband" ".

She and this person beside her will meet again at a certain time and place in the future, and they can only meet politely according to their status.

She suddenly remembered some heart-wrenching scenes. He broke into Ling's house desperately to bring her out. He stood up in front of everyone fearlessly and claimed to be her husband. He said he wanted to share the same life with her. Die together...

Many times she is not untouched, but after all she is an unlucky person.

He appeared at the wrong time. If she had wished for it a few years or ten years later, and she could meet him alive at that time, maybe the ending would be much better.

"I'm leaving too soon." Huo Rong said, "I'm almost done with my affairs here, Fan Xin has been transferred away, and now the direction of the Water Transportation Department is under control, and there is nothing left for me."

"Really." Changying murmured.I knew he would go, but I didn't expect it so soon. "Where are you going next? When are you leaving?"

"The shortest is ten days, and the longest is half a month." Huo Rong looked over, "It is very likely that I will also go to Beijing, as you know, the situation in the court is in such a mess, and the emperor has dispatches from time to time...

"Changying," he paused, his raised eyes suddenly filled with sincerity, "If you don't want to go to Jishanwei, then come with me?"
