Chapter 563
Chapter 563
"My father promised me that he would take me to the capital this year."
Guan Ning took a deep breath and thought that he should be more stable by then: "Okay."
"I promise you!" He was extremely serious.
"Really?" Yuan Xiang looked uncertainly.
"Really, I swear." Guan Ning raised three fingers.
Yuan Xiang covered it with her hand. Her little hand was ice-cold and glowing white. It would be a shame not to use it.
"Who asked you to swear?"
"I'm not done yet."
"When you return to the capital, you must not forget me. You must think of me and write to me."
"Also, you are not allowed to look for those dirty women outside. They are almost the same."
"If you violate any of these rules, I will rush to the capital immediately!" She glared, looking like a housekeeper.
Guan Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I agree to this too."
"Any more?"
"Also, be careful! Although the court has lifted the wanted order for you, I heard from some uncles in the mansion that you and the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi are sworn enemies and that you killed several of his sons."
"I'm worried that you are in danger!" Yuan Xiang's eyes suddenly became concerned.
Guan Ning still nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not alone, I have so many family members, I will be careful."
Yuan Xiang turned her back and hummed softly with her red lips: "I am also your family?"
"No." Guan Ning said.
Yuan Xiang's face changed and he turned around.
"They are relatives." Guan Ning immediately said with a sly smile.
"You are teasing me!" Yuan Xiang was furious. She opened her cherry lips and bit him. It seemed that she had become accustomed to biting.
"what!!"
Guan Ning's screams resounded through the sky and reached outside the hall.
Many people outside the hall heard it and were shocked. What happened?
Yuan Tao smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "It's hard for you, kid, but this girl cares about you, what can you do?"
"..."
At dusk, as the sun sets, flocks of birds fly across the skyline.
Outside Zizhou City, Grand Marshal Yuan Tao led people to see them off in person, and the huge team did not stop until they reached the suburbs.
"Okay, you should go back."
"See you in the capital." Guan Ning looked at Yuan Xiang.
"Yes, Miss Yuan, we will wait for you in the capital." Tang Xiang'er comforted, and Cao Ziyan also joined in.
Yuan Xiang nodded. She had a good relationship with the two of them and was reluctant to leave. She kept looking back: "Don't forget what you promised me!"
Guan Ning nodded.
Then, the carriage started slowly.
Yuan Xiang's tears suddenly burst out. She rushed to the carriage and grabbed Guan Ning's hand. Several times she couldn't help but want to say, "Take me with you," but she held back.
Finally, she kissed Guan Ning's cheek, then took his hand and separated them little by little.
"Wait until I come to find you!" she shouted, her eyes full of reluctance.
Guan Ning replied loudly: "Okay!"
Only when the carriage gradually disappeared into the suburbs did Yuan Xiang couldn't help sobbing.
Yuan Tao stepped forward, helped her up, and said, "Okay, girl, everyone has left."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't make it difficult for Guan Ning?"
"But, but I just feel so sad. He's gone, and my heart feels like it's missing a piece." Yuan Xiang threw herself into Yuan Tao's arms and burst into tears.
Yuan Tao could only keep comforting her.
……
March 21st.
Everything went smoothly on the return journey. Guan Ning traveled through mountains and rivers for nearly a month before finally returning to the capital.
The ancient city walls are like dragons and tigers, the mysterious atmosphere of ancient civilization is overwhelming, the mighty imperial guards are defending tightly, and the bustling crowds are endless. Prosperity and majesty are synonymous with this place.
Everything was so familiar, as if Guan Ning had just left.
His eyes were filled with sadness, reminiscence, pain, and hatred, and he remained motionless for a long time.
"Guan Lang, what's wrong?" Cao Zi Yan couldn't help but ask.
Guan Ning said in a low, hoarse voice: "It's okay, I just remembered some old friends."
"When I was being hunted and escaped from here, it was my brothers who used their bodies to clear the way for me. I survived, but they stayed here forever."
Hearing this, the women were startled and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Let's go into the city first and see how things are at home." After a brief mourning, Guan Ning regained his smile.
But Lou Xinyue and the other two girls could clearly feel the remorse and sadness between his brows, so much so that Lou Xinyue stopped arguing with him and instead held his hand tightly.
