When Meng Shaoqing got the news and rushed out, Su Xubai was already ready to leave. He quickly stepped forward and pulled the reins: "What are you doing? You know that there is a lot of chaos outside, but you still want to go by yourself!"
"There are only two of us who can make the decision here. Either I go or you go. Now you are in control of the entire Huizhou City. If you leave, if something happens, who can stabilize Huizhou City?"
"Su Xubai quickly held Meng Shaoqing's hand and said, "No one is more suitable to go on this trip than me!"
"What about Chengchun? You just left her here and ignored her?" Meng Shaoqing refused to let go, frowning, "Huizhou is such a mess, and you just left me alone. Isn't it too unethical?"
"What's unethical? I just went to pick someone up, not to run away!" Su Xubai slapped Meng Shaoqing's hand away angrily, "As for Achun, she trusts you very much. I'm relieved that you stay here!"
Meng Shaoqing looked at Su Xubai and knew that he had made up his mind when he saw his appearance.
Su Xubai had a very stubborn temper, and things that had been decided would not be changed easily. Seeing his persistence, Meng Shaoqing knew that his stubbornness had come up, so it was hard to say anything more, so he said seriously
: "Although this journey is not far, it is inevitably dangerous. Please be careful in everything you do!"
Su Xubai patted Meng Shaoqing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, although I am a civil servant, I am not that weak!"
Su Xubai led a small team with less than ten people in total. Because Shiang Lan was uneasy, she followed him no matter what. Until before departure, his team was still explaining the affairs of defending the city.
When Cheng Chun knew that Su Xubai was leaving Huizhou temporarily, he hurriedly ran out. But at that time, Su Xubai was about to leave. He was explaining some matters at hand to Meng Shaoqing, and Cheng Chun also
It was difficult to walk over, so I watched silently.
Finally, Islam found Chengchun standing there and softly shouted: "Madam!"
Su Xubai didn't realize until this moment that Cheng Chun had been standing there for a long time.
Cheng Chun stepped forward: "They said you were going to Yangzhou?"
"Yes, I'll pick someone up and I'll be back soon." Su Xubai looked at Cheng Chun and raised her hand to straighten her bun, "So don't think about running around. Besides, there's chaos outside right now.
If you run around again and encounter danger again, no one will come to save you!"
Cheng Chun didn't say anything, just looked at Su Xubai.
Su Xubai looked at Cheng Chun for a long time, and saw that it was not good for her to remain silent. If she continued to mumble alone, she withdrew her hand: "I'm leaving. You guys should be careful here."
From the beginning to the end, Cheng Chun didn't say much, he just looked at her silently, his expression not changing much.
Waiting until Su Xubai left, Cheng Chun suddenly said: "Be careful on the road and don't force yourself to do anything!"
Su Xubai paused, then responded with a smile, and rode away on horseback.
Waiting until Su Xubai disappeared, Cheng Chun followed Meng Shaoqing and walked back slowly.
Seeing that Cheng Chun kept his head down, Meng Shaoqing asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you worried that something will happen to him outside?"
"Don't you all say that there is a chaos of war and chaos outside, and there is also a plague now, and it is not safe anywhere." Cheng Chun said softly, "Why do you have to go out at this time?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trapped in Yangzhou. It is really difficult to move forward now. We must send someone to rescue him. Su Xubai is such a cautious person, so naturally he will not let others go. It is not easy for me to escape, so I can only let others go.
He has made this trip." Meng Shaoqing said softly, "Why, are you worried about him?"
Cheng Chun didn't say anything, just walked slowly behind Meng Shaoqing.
"If you are worried about him encountering danger on the road, there is actually not much need. He was born in the Wuhou family and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His martial arts skills are as good as mine, but he is the only one born in his family.
Those who can study, let them study literature!" Meng Shaoqing said lightly, "And I have woad by my side, just keep your heart in mind!"
Cheng Chun responded, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "But there is nothing to worry about. I just feel that at this juncture, there are so many things that have not been dealt with in Huizhou City. He left just as soon as he said he would leave. I don't know when I can
Meet my parents!”
Meng Shaoqing turned back and glanced at Cheng Chun, and suddenly laughed: "A tough-tongued person won't do any good!"
"I don't……"
"You know best in your heart!" Meng Shaoqing interrupted Cheng Chun, and then laughed, "Su Xubai is a bastard, but he is sincere to you, but the situation is stronger than the person, and there are many things that he can't do
Blocked!"
The situation is stronger than the people...
Listening to Meng Shaoqing's words, Cheng Chun felt bitter in his heart, and even felt a little astringent in his mouth: "It's not so much that the form is better than the person, it's more that I'm not worthy. It's because my status is too low, so everywhere in the capital.
Being in a powerful place is a sin in itself, but a lowly person like me got what others dream of!"
Meng Shaoqing was stunned for a moment. He turned back to look at Cheng Chun and said quickly: "That's not what I meant..."
"Of course I know you don't mean it this way!" Cheng Chun looked up at Meng Shaoqing with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "But actually this is the fundamental thing! Because my status is too low, I have become someone who can be bullied by everyone.
It’s not so much that he can’t protect the target, but that the place is not suitable for me in the first place. After all, no one can always be by your side, be considerate and careful in everything, and there is no way I can survive there alone. This is
original sin."
Meng Shaoqing's expression changed slightly. He turned back to look at Cheng Chun, and then said softly: "Then what do you think?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Chun looked up at Meng Shaoqing in surprise.
Meng Shaoqing sighed slightly: "Of course it's between you and Su Xubai. It can't always be like this. It's not sweet to be stubborn. When you get back to the capital, if you still want to run away, you won't be able to!"
"Why, is it possible that General Meng wants to help me again?" Cheng Chun looked at Meng Shaoqing with a smile in his eyes, "I'm afraid if it happens again, Su Xubai won't believe you anymore.
"
"Buddha said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you return to the capital in the end and end up with the same ending as before, if I let you go, it is a good destiny. Why not!" Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun and smiled.
Then he said, "It's just Chengchun, some people have missed it and may never meet again in this life!"
