Chapter 142 Leaving Beijing

Whatever comes to mind comes to pass.

At this moment, Ye Shan was dragged to the front yard by Shi Yulin, and no one knew what he was saying.

The master and disciple were used to quarreling. Every time Gu Junqing passed by them, she could always hear the two of them arguing about moral principles. Whenever she saw this, she pretended not to see it and naturally acquiesced. It was precisely because of this that the usually quiet general's mansion became much more lively because of these two people.

Obviously, Ji Rang also saw Shi Yulin and Ye Shan. He had seen Shi Yulin before, after all, he was the one who introduced this man to Gu Junqing. However, it was the first time he saw Ye Shan standing next to Shi Yulin.

Although Ye Shan liked to play with his master, he was still a little shy in his heart. So he pulled his sleeve and hid behind Shi Yulin in fear. His pair of big, dark and clear eyes looked at Ji Rang with some curiosity, but he didn't say a word.

Ji Rang could naturally see that Ye Shan was shy, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, the smile on his face became gentler, and even more friendly, as if he wanted Ye Shan to see that he had no ill will towards him. On the contrary, he wanted to get close to him.

Ye Shan gradually let go of his reservedness and vigilance, loosened Shi Yu's sleeves, walked slowly forward, came behind Gu Junqing, opened his big round eyes, stared at him, still didn't say anything.

Gu Junqing touched Ye Shan's head, but did not look at him. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Shi Yulin, who had already sat down to drink tea, and said casually:

"Master Shi, I will leave for southern Fujian the day after tomorrow to handle the relief work for the local blizzard refugees. It may take ten days, half a month, or one or two months to complete these matters. I can't say for sure. But when I'm away, you must take good care of Ye Shan and the things Qing He entrusted to you. Of course, there are still people in the general's mansion. If Master Shi wants to take Ye Shan out of the mansion to play, he can naturally bring people from the general's mansion to accompany you to protect you."

The smile on Shi Yulin's face paused, as if he didn't expect Gu Junqing to leave the capital so soon: "Heading to southern Fujian?"

He repeated it subconsciously.

Gu Junqing nodded: "Yes."

"I'm familiar with Southern Fujian. I used to live there a lot. I know how to get around any place in Southern Fujian."

When Shi Yulin said this, Gu Junqing was stunned. She could naturally understand the implication of Shi Yulin's words, but:

"Master Shi, you still have Ye Shan with you who needs your guidance. Ye Shan is still young, so it is not convenient for him to go to southern Fujian with us. After all, the journey is long and the weather there is bad, so it is very easy for accidents to happen."

Gu Junqing's words could be regarded as a rejection of Shi Yulin's request to recommend himself.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yulin glanced at Ye Shan, who had a confused look on his face, and indeed hesitated for a moment.

But he didn't hesitate for too long, and Gu Junqing next to him continued:

"Master Shi, have you forgotten what happened between you and Ye Shan at Qinghe's herb field yesterday?"

Seeing that Shi Yulin had nothing to say, Gu Junqing retracted his gaze and fixed his sight on Ye Shan who was still pulling at his sleeve.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but she still said to Shi Yulin: "Could it be that the class is over? Why are you still staying here? Are you trying to slack off on your studies?"

Since Gu Junqing said so, what else could Shi Yulin do? They were just passing by here, and it would not be convenient for them to stay any longer, so Shi Yulin took Ye Shan's hand and went to the backyard of the general's mansion.

After watching the two leave, Gu Junqing finally turned his attention to Ji Rang. After a simple smile, he spoke before Ji Rang:

"These two are just like this, please don't blame me, Lord Ji." "... Okay."

After the two chatted for a while, Ji Rang was about to get up and say goodbye. After seeing him off, Gu Junqing went to the backyard in the opposite direction of Shi Yulin.

In the end, Gu Junqing had to leave for southern Fujian before Ji Rang could finish investigating Chuyou's matter.

The matter of General Gu going to southern Fujian was known to the whole capital long before the emperor issued the decree. So when Gu Junqing was about to leave, many people gathered outside the city gate. Seeing that Gu Junqing, even though he was lightly dressed, still had such a fierce aura and was still as handsome as ever, many people's eyes became even more enthusiastic.

Although no one knows how long it will take Gu Junqing to return to Beijing after this farewell, the people at this moment are full of hope that General Gu can return to Beijing as soon as possible. After all, General Gu has long been worshipped as a god of war in the hearts of the people.

God has always been flawless and invulnerable. There were many people who came to see Gu Junqing off. Ji Rang was one, Zhen Qingyi was one, and there were other ministers who had never communicated with Gu Junqing.

More importantly, since even the emperor came to see Gu Junqing off, how could other ministers not follow suit?

Looking at Qi Yunjin standing in front of Gu Junqing and not knowing what to say, the ministers who were watching him all complained in their hearts.

Qi Yunjin had no idea what the group of people behind him were thinking, and even if he knew, he would be too lazy to pay any attention to them.

At this time, he just looked at Gu Junqing in front of him, and talked about things in southern Fujian.

"The terrain in southern Fujian is complex and the roads are rugged. It is definitely not enough for you to bring only these few people with you. When you leave the city later, I will naturally arrange for Pu Qing, Zhen Wei and the secret guards to be with you. In case of any accidents, it will be easier to deal with them."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

After Gu Junqing bowed and thanked the emperor, he didn't know what to say.

I just didn't expect that I was just going to southern Fujian, it's not like I couldn't come back. I looked, well, how should I put it, I looked worried, as if I was a child who knew nothing.

The emperor could rest assured that she could go to southern Fujian, but he was also afraid that something might happen to her outside and he would be worried about her.

The emperor's mind is really strange.

Gu Junqing secretly complained in his heart, but his face showed an expression of listening humbly.

Xin Chuan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was standing not far behind Qi Yunjin. When he saw her looking at him, Xin Chuan nodded and smiled, as a greeting.

Gu Junqing also smiled, but was seen by Qi Yunjin who was standing in front of him. He paused and followed Gu Junqing's gaze to look at Xin Chuan.

The smile on Xin Chuan's face froze. He was unable to react to why the emperor's expression suddenly turned cold, so he had to turn his back to avoid the emperor's eye attack.

If I am targeted by the emperor and he assigns me to another place to deal with those trivial matters, I will be exhausted to death or even annoyed by those trivial matters.

It’s scary to think about it, eh.

Gu Junqing had no idea about the eye contact between Xin Chuan and the emperor just now. When he saw him suddenly turn around and not look at him, he felt puzzled and had to continue to keep his eyes on Qi Yunjin.
