Chapter 146 Embarrassed
"His Majesty has issued a secret order to see you."
"Secret decree?" Li Xi was stunned for a moment. How to say it? In fact, she was not surprised. She had taken out so many Dayan medicines and cement one after another. If she were the current emperor, she would also be curious about herself, but the problem was that she was not the emperor.
She had been subconsciously avoiding this question all along, but she didn't expect that she would have to face it.
Li Xi let out a sigh of relief, slumped his shoulders, and said weakly, "When do we leave?"
"Five days later."
"What! Five days later, so soon!" Li Xi stood up suddenly. Before Gu Jingzhi could say anything, she sighed and sat down. "Forget it, five days later is five days later. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return."
The capital city is prosperous, but as you might imagine, it also has a lot of troubles.
It's not easy to live in the capital.
……
Five days later, on the official road.
A group of troops set out from the north in an orderly manner. Among the neat team, there was an extremely conspicuous carriage. Compared with other carriages, it was obviously much larger.
The carriage was padded with thick cushions, on which were several layers of soft quilts. Li Xi was lying on the cushions, hugging the quilts to catch up on her sleep.
Gu Jingzhi knew that Li Xi was afraid of bumpy rides in a carriage, so he had people specially make this spacious carriage long beforehand, and also ordered people to make special efforts to make it earthquake-resistant.
After seeing this, Li Xi felt a little sweet in her heart, because it meant that he cared about her and it was not just talk.
Of course, this feeling of being touched was fleeting. After receiving the carriage, she immediately sold her mattresses and bedding and filled it tightly with soft and cozy fur.
The journey is long, so of course she has to prepare well.
Hu Zi was sensible to begin with, and after studying for more than half a year, he became even more reasonable. After Li Xi told him that she was going to the capital, although he was reluctant to leave his sister, he still told her with red eyes to go without worry, and that he would take good care of himself.
No matter how sensible Hu Zi is, he is still in kindergarten. Even if Li Xi is carefree, she can't let him and A Wei take care of themselves. She promised Doctor Wu that if anything happens, she will have nowhere to cry.
When Doctor Wu returns from the southwest, what will I explain?
Since Li Xi had already decided to go to the capital, she had naturally thought about what to do after she left. The round trip from the north to the capital would take more than a month. Adding the time that Gu Jingzhi would report on his work in the capital, Li Xi felt that the round trip would take at least three months, and at most four or five months.
She certainly would not feel at ease leaving her two children at home alone, so she initially planned to find a nanny to take care of them for some time.
However, she has not interacted with outsiders much since she came to Jiayuguan. If she wants to find someone to take care of the child, she naturally has to find someone she can trust.
After lying down for a long time, Li Xi felt a little tired. She sat up from the soft bed, opened the curtain and looked outside. Gu Jingzhi was riding a horse beside the carriage. Li Xi saw his profile as soon as she opened the curtain.
The sunlight outside was dazzling. Li Xi squinted his eyes and looked at him. The sunlight seemed to favor him particularly. A beam of sunlight shone through the corner of his eyes, making him look like a different person from ordinary people.
Noticing Li Xi's gaze, Gu Jingzhi turned his head to look at him. The sunlight that had just hit the corner of his eyes suddenly entered his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had walked down from heaven to the mortal world.
She couldn't find a mother-in-law she trusted, but now she had a boyfriend she trusted.
Li Xi chuckled and waved at him, and Gu Jingzhi rode his horse closer.
"We've been walking for quite a while, right? When will we arrive at the post station?"
Although this carriage was much more comfortable than the ones she had ridden in before, it was still a carriage after all. Even with so many cushions, it was still a bit bumpy. It was bearable, but she still preferred to keep her feet on the ground.
"The next post station is twenty miles ahead. I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach it today."
"Ah?" Li Xi held his forehead with his hand, "Okay, then I get it. I have to sleep in the carriage again."
Li Xi let down the curtain and lay back. OK, we have to set up camp in the wild again today. Although this carriage is spacious, who would be willing to sit in such a small space every day?
Gu Jingzhi looked at the curtain that Li Xi had thrown shut, curled his lips into a smile, jumped off his horse directly onto the carriage, lifted the curtain and got in.
Although the guards all look serious and are looking straight ahead, they are actually glancing at this side out of the corner of their eyes. It has been several days since they left Jiayuguan. During these days of observation, they have already discovered that there is something fishy between the Major General and Miss Li.
Of course, this is because neither Gu Jingzhi nor Li Xi deliberately concealed the truth. Since the truth was revealed, Li Xi no longer tried to hide it. Gu Jingzhi naturally wished to get a status from her as soon as possible, and he would not hide it at all.
The young general was indeed old enough to get married, but no one expected that he would fall in love with Li Xi. It was not that she was not good-looking, but her family background was too low. She could not even be considered to have a good family background. After all, both her parents were gone and she only had a younger brother.
Moreover, they did not expect that the young general would be like this after falling in love with the girl. He even took her with him when he went to Beijing to report on his work. Although it was not good enough to describe the party, it was like an old house on fire.
What they didn't know was that Li Xi didn't go there to accompany Gu Jingzhi to report on his work, but because of the secret order from Emperor Jian'an. Gu Jingzhi didn't have such a big face in her eyes.
After Gu Jingzhi entered the carriage, he saw Li Xi half leaning against the carriage, looking bored.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jingzhi walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
Li Xi leaned half on his shoulder due to his strength, raised her head and looked at him, as if she didn't know him.
Looking at her like this, Gu Jingzhi curled his lips, "What? What's wrong?"
Li Xi got up from his arms, sat up straight, glanced at him, and shook her head, "Gu Jingzhi, Gu Jingzhi, I find that you are becoming more and more open. Before, you would blush when holding hands, but now you are becoming more and more shameless."
"It's all thanks to my girlfriend's good training."
"Cough cough."
Gu Jingzhi's words made Li Xi choke and her old face blush. This, this, this, what he said was indeed true. Although she had the same experience as him, she just didn't have practical experience, but she did have theoretical experience.
So it was indeed she who took the initiative in holding hands and kissing at the beginning.
But Li Xi would never admit defeat, "Really? But General Gu is still a better student. The disciple is better than the master."
As Li Xi finished speaking, the carriage suddenly became quiet.
Li Xi realized what she had said and felt extremely regretful. She almost wanted to jump off the carriage. Oh my God, what did she just say?
Gu Jingzhi naturally saw her embarrassment, but Li Xi was a person who wanted to save face, so he held his head high and said stubbornly, "Why, was what I said wrong?"
