Eastward Flow

The continuous cold water gushes out from the closed mountain in Lizhou, rushes eastward, passes through Ningzhou Zhongzhou, crosses Wanzhou, and finally rubs against the edge of Yuanzhou City, rushes to the East China Sea, and flows to Guixu in the deep sea.

Crossing from Lanzhou Chucheng to the east and going south by boat, even the fastest Yang Family Flying Fish Merchant Ship would take half a month to reach Yuanzhou.Drive along the Beichuan River to Lizhou, step into Liangshui, and then flow east into Yuanzhou City.

The Marquis of Zhenbei and his family returned to the capital city in the south. They set off in mid-October and when they arrived in Yuanzhou, it was snowing heavily.Yuanzhou City, which had been trembling in the wind and snow for several days, finally cleared up this day.

At the ferry in the north of the city, dozens of merchant ships traveling from south to north are moored.Flags of various colors fluttered with the river wind, swaying in brilliant colors in the cold winter.

Zhong Lisuo, who had been stuffy in the cabin for several days, walked to the deck wearing a silver fox cloak, looked at the workers on the boat who were carrying household items back and forth, rolled up their sleeves, and let out a breath of white air.

Zhenbeihou, who was coming out of the cabin, looked at the thin figure of the young man, coughed lightly, and called out, "Asu, what are you doing still on the boat? Your mother has gone first, why don't you hurry up and follow?"

Although Zhenbeihou's words sounded harsh, there was still a kindness in them.He was just afraid that the sea breeze would be too strong, and Le Zhengsu's body, which had been congenitally deficient since birth, would not be able to bear it, and he would catch a cold and get sick.Sensitively aware of this, Zhong Lisuo smiled gently, nodded in agreement, and walked quickly towards his mother in front of him.

Seeing that his wife and children had disembarked, Zhenbei Hou hurriedly followed.

Zhong Lisuo passed through the bustling crowd, climbed up the steps, and finally reached the ferry to welcome guests.

The guards in green clothes carried knives and walked in front, arranging the crowded crowd on both sides, forming an extremely smooth road.Before he got out of the crowd, Zhong Lisuo saw a young woman in apricot shirt and cloak leading several guards to meet him.

"Mother." The woman called out, and Zhong Lisuo saw sharply that the expression of Mrs. Lezheng beside him suddenly changed.The originally gentle and calm eyes were filled with tears in an instant.

The young woman came quickly, and Mrs. Lezheng grabbed her hands suddenly, and called out excitedly: "Ying'er..."

Le Zhengying clenched her mother's hands, choked up for a while before letting go.Folding her hands together, she cupped her hands and pushed them out. She bent down and made a long bow, saying, "I'm not filial, I've seen my mother. You've worked hard all the way."

Mrs. Lezheng stretched out her hand to hold her arm, with tears in her eyes, she called softly: "Ying'er..."

When a mother and daughter who haven't seen each other for three years meet for the first time, they seem to have a thousand words to tell.Zhenbeihou, who was ignored by his side, couldn't help coughing when he saw the scene where their mother and daughter met in tears, "They are all servants of the Ministry of War. Seeing that my mother is still like a child, she always loves to cry."

His tone that seemed to be complaining caused Lezheng mother and daughter to burst into tears.Le Zhengying held back her tears, then withdrew her hands, and bowed to her father, "I met my father. I came all the way south, but it's safe and sound?"

"Very good, very good." Seeing that the eldest daughter finally looked at her Zhenbei Hou, she nodded in satisfaction.

Zhong Lisuo who was beside him didn't say a word, silently watching the reunion of the family of three.Since waking up from this body half a year ago, she has intermittently figured out her current situation.

As the fortress on the border of Lanzhou, Chucheng is the homeland of the Lezheng clan, the retainers of the Xuan clan of the Xian nationality in Lanzhou.As early as the period of Emperor Ling of Chu State in the previous dynasty, the patriarch of the Xuan clan was a general who commanded millions of soldiers and horses in the world.

The last general of the Xuan family was Xuan Jingchen, who was bestowed the title of General Who Drives Wolf by Emperor Assassin.Until Xuan Jingchen was appointed by the assassin emperor to marry Zhong Lisuo, who was the prince, she still held the military power in the world.

As for Zhonglisuo's current father, Le Zhengqin, he has been serving the Xuan family since Xuan Jingchen's father's generation.

Zhong Lisuo lived in Lenggong when he was a child, and when he was older, he was taken to Yunzhong City by the old King of Clouds, and then lived on the streets.Therefore, before she was taken back to the palace to become the prince when she was 16 years old, she did not have much contact with courtiers.

But after her big marriage with Xuan Jingchen, the only people she dealt with all day long were the treacherous civil servants in Yuanzhou City who gave her headaches, and Xuan Jingchen took care of all the affairs in the military, and she had no time to pay attention to the generals who were far away on the border.

Therefore, after waking up, Zhong Lisuo discovered that she had become Le Zhengqin's second son, and she knew that this man was Le Zhengying's father whom Xuan Jingchen relied on very much.

Zhong Lisuo had met Le Zhengying, but only once.

While still in the East Palace, Xuan Jingchen summoned Le Zhengying who was going back to Lanzhou to guard the border in the near future.When Le Zhengying was leaving, he was bumped into by Zhong Lisuo who had just returned from a trip.At that time, Zhong Lisuo, who had heard a lot of rumors, realized what the waiters meant when they said that the female official Lezheng looked like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Tall figure, snow-white complexion, a pair of gentle eyes embedded under the heroic long eyebrows.This aristocratic woman from Lanzhou is really too good-looking.

For a time, the thin and frail prince, who had been suffering from illness for many years, was envious.

Perhaps that little bit of resemblance seemed to be a taboo, and Le Zhengying seldom appeared in front of her.Coupled with the disparity in status, she never saw Le Zhengying again.

I didn't expect to meet again, but in such a situation, under such an identity.Bearing the skin of the other party's own sister, Zhong Lisuo, who was sobbing, finally sighed softly, bowed and saluted, "Su, I have seen elder sister."

"Back?" Le Zhengying's eyes rolled over and settled on Zhong Lisuo's fair and handsome face. After a moment of daze, he finally said in relief: "You... have grown so tall."

This younger sister, who lived in the inner courtyard due to her frailty since she was a child, did not have much sense of existence, and she was as tall as her in the blink of an eye.Even though he received a letter from his father half a year ago and heard that his sister, who had been in a coma for nearly three years, had fully awakened, Le Zhengying was still surprised to see such a spirited younger sister.

But after a while, she collected her emotions, turned her head and said to her father beside her: "I have ordered someone to tidy up the mansion. It's freezing cold, so it's not appropriate to stay outside too much. Father, mother, let's go home quickly."

Le Zhengying ordered his servants to carry the luggage back, and walked ahead to lead his parents into the carriage that had been prepared.At that time, there happened to be a red-clothed guard carrying a knife to clear the way, clearing the crowded crowd out of a path.Zhong Lisuo, who passed by the red-clothed guards, turned his head as if feeling something when he was about to board the carriage, and instantly saw the person guarding at the end of the red-clothed guards.

It was a young man, about 20 years old, dressed luxuriously, with a fair and beautiful face, and he looked like a slender and beautiful person from Yunzhou.

Zhong Lisuo looked at the back of the man boarding the carriage, and immediately froze in place.

The eldest sister at the side looked at the man surrounded by the stars, and said three words lightly, "King of Clouds."

In just a split second, the slender and soft face that suddenly appeared overlapped with the chubby boy in memory who loved to cry.

King of Clouds... Zhong Limu.

At the end of the year, the court is returned, and the dynasties worship.That's right, Zhong Li's family was still the king in the Qing Dynasty, and he was the only one.

The carriage in front moved slowly, pulling the figure hidden inside further and further away.Zhong Lisuo squinted his eyes halfway, buried his chin in the furry neckline of his cloak, and let out a breath of white air slowly.
