Chapter 365 Return to the Capital

But since the people from Dajin were nearby, he didn't say much. He looked back at the carriages that had already changed horses, and with a shout, they set off towards Sui'an City.

The war horses were from Daxing, and the people who drove the horses were also from Daxing, so the speed was decided by Daxing.

On two occasions, the people who followed from Dajin were more or less uncomfortable, but they didn't stop the team. Instead, they left people at the post stations in various places to "take care" of them and left again.

It's really strange. The team that hurried eastward with a lot of congratulatory gifts should have taken about two months to arrive.

But they arrived outside Sui'an City in mid-June.

Looking at the three large gold-plated characters hanging high above the city gate, the faces of the first prince and the ninth prince were complicated and tired.

They had thought of dawdling here and there for a while, at least until August, so that they could see the rich harvest of autumn in Daxing, and when they returned to Dajin, they could make improvements and changes based on these situations.

But now, it's all in vain. Even if they are willing, they can only see the bustle of the lotus pond and the shade of trees in midsummer.

"Grand Prince, Prime Minister Guo is waiting at the post station, let's go now."

The Grand Prince rushed all the way here. Although he was also a person who had marched and fought, he was still a little overwhelmed by such a strong rhythm. But when he saw Gu Shaoyu opposite him, and even the soldiers behind him, they all looked very dusty but in good spirits, he admired them in his heart and was a little afraid.

"Okay, General Gu, please!"

After that, the whole team marched towards the city, and the Ninth Prince, who had been cursing all the time, was now sleeping in the carriage. The flesh on both sides of his thighs was rubbed and bleeding, but it didn't get better.

Because the weather was very hot, there was a tendency of inflammation. He was in so much pain that he couldn't ride a horse. He could only sit in the carriage specially prepared for him by Luo Yuan.

It wasn't upside down, but as soon as he got on the carriage, he fell into a deep sleep, as if he had been drugged and couldn't be woken up.

So, when he first arrived in Cezhou, he was as strong as a bear, but now the Ninth Prince was as weak as if he had been hung on a tree and exposed to the sun for three days.

This was the first time that the eldest prince appeared in the capital of Daxing, so their unusual clothes, hairstyles and teams still attracted the attention of many people.

Especially when they saw Gu Shaoyu, everyone in Sui'an City shouted.

"General Gu is back! General Gu is back!"

Hearing this, the eldest prince couldn't help but glance at Gu Shaoyu. It can be seen that he had a serious face from beginning to end, so many words were not spoken.

Walking all the way north, in the northwest, you can see a posthouse.

And the Prime Minister Guo mentioned by Gu Shaoyu also brought several ministers from the court to wait here. After seeing Gu Shaoyu and the eldest prince, he took two steps forward and smiled and said without being humble or arrogant.

"It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Guo Rubin greets the envoy of Dajin."

At his age, if Guo Xiang was in Dajin, he would have been wrapped in all kinds of pain. How could he have such a charm and performance? The eldest prince saw it in his eyes and knew that this was the Feng Shui of Daxing, so he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After getting off the horse, he also learned from Guo Xiang to clasp his fists and bow his head slightly and said.

"Baccus greets Prime Minister Guo. Sorry for the long wait."

"Your Highness is polite. This is the courtesy of our Daxing Dynasty. You have been tired all the way. Please come into the posthouse. Everything is ready. In addition, I brought two doctors with me this time. They will treat the Ninth Prince later."

The first prince was a little surprised, but he soon understood and replied with a smile.

"My ninth brother is not used to the climate. I am sorry to make you laugh."

"Your Highness is polite. Please."

"Please."

Then Prime Minister Guo took the first prince inside, and Gu Shaoyu followed closely. As for the Ninth Prince, he was naturally carried into the posthouse. As for the rest of the court gifts, Wei Lun and Ni Yang watched them put them into the warehouse one by one and sent two hundred soldiers to guard the place. Only then did they feel relieved.

After these court congratulatory ceremonies were recorded in the Ministry of Rites, their Tiger Guards would have completed the task successfully, so no one would take it lightly at this time.

Entering the posthouse, a familiar environment came to the face.

It can be seen that Guo Xiang had prepared very seriously. The furnishings and arrangements inside were only available in the Great Jin Kingdom, so when the eldest prince saw it, his smile was much more sincere.

"It is said that Guo Xiangwen can rule the world, which is really amazing! This king likes it very much."

"It's good that the eldest prince likes it. These two are maids sent from the palace. They used to serve the concubine, so they are very good at serving. If the eldest prince needs them, they can stay by his side and serve him."

Gu Shaoyu looked at the two unfamiliar people in front of him, and he was quite puzzled by Guo Xiang's move.

What is the purpose of rushing to send two bed-warming slaves?

To spy on the eldest prince's thoughts?

He hasn't figured it out yet, and he saw that the eldest prince has already accepted it happily, and said with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your consideration, Prime Minister. I like it very much."

The two maids stood there, as if they were not the ones being talked about, and their attitudes were very calm. One of them even raised her eyes slightly with some excitement, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at the eldest prince.

Seeing this, the eldest prince had not been close to women for a long time, so naturally he had some reaction.

Minister Guo said without changing his expression.

"In this case, the eldest prince should rest first. In three days, His Majesty will naturally summon the envoys to meet him, but the ninth prince's injury..."

Minister Guo was not afraid that there would be any problem if the ninth prince did not show up. After all, it was a polite remark, and he had to say a few words to show his hospitality.

"It's okay. Ninth brother originally came with me to see the customs and customs of Daxing. I will make the decision on the matter of the court ceremony!"

"Well, the eldest prince should rest first. I will come to bother you tomorrow!"

"Go slowly, Prime Minister Guo, and General Gu!"

After the three of them said goodbye, Prime Minister Guo and Gu Shaoyu went out. Before they stepped out of the yard, they heard the sound of a woman and a man laughing inside. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu was even more surprised. His expression was full of doubts when he looked at Prime Minister Guo.

Prime Minister Guo patted the back of his hand and said.

"Let's go. After the court ceremony is over, don't you have to rush back to Jinling City?"

His words successfully diverted Gu Shaoyu's mind. Yes, what he cares about most now is his wife's pregnancy, so it is not easy for him to investigate what the Great Jin Prince wants.
