Epilogue (5) Encounter

  ?

  Hearing the resentment in Gao Qi's tone, A Lu was delighted and laughed. She was worried that Zhang Yi would not be doing well, but now she is living happily, which is perfect for her.

  A group of people laughed and chatted, standing out particularly in the midst of busy merchants coming and going.

  At this time, the Sui state was powerful and almost crushed the Chen state. The people of Chen were also immersed in a kind of fear that they didn't know what would happen tomorrow. Among the worried and gloomy crowd, suddenly seeing such a happy and joyful team, it really made people guess all sorts of things.

  Feeling the gaze cast from all directions, Su Wei fell silent again. After a while, he whispered to Gao Ji, "Child, don't let your parents know I've come."

  She opened her big eyes and looked at him, responding readily: "Good."

  Just after responding to this sentence, Gao Xue looked at the back of the team and his eyes suddenly widened.

  Seeing his abnormal expression, Su Wei couldn't help but turn her head to look over.

  Only in the rear, a horse-drawn carriage came with several guards surrounding it, dusty and exhausted. In the open curtains of the carriage, a young man's handsome face showed through, with a hint of coldness.

  "How did he come?" Whispering to this point, Su Wei saw Gao Jiadi's somewhat eerie lowering of his head and couldn't help but frown and ask: "Child, do you know him?"

  "I don't know, of course I don't know!" Gao Ji replied extremely succinctly, but a bit too succinctly, appearing somewhat flustered.

  After answering randomly, Gao Qi also couldn't help but say a few more words to Su Wei, and then he rode his horse to catch up with his companions. After whispering a few sentences, the carriage behind him also came over.

  Su Wei's team was very eye-catching, and the young man turned his head, first recognizing Su Wei. At this time, he also frowned, and in an instant, he looked at those dozen or so young knights again. After sizing up their mounts and people one by one, the young man turned to Gao Ji.

  At this time, Gao Xiao was riding his horse among the group of young men. His conical hat was pressed extremely low, and his posture was upright and steady. His face was expressionless, with an air of a noble young master. The youth looked at him seriously for a moment before withdrawing his gaze, but after a while, he raised his head again to size up Gao Xiao.

  When this young man looked at people, his eyes were clear and bright. He was both confident and radiant, as if he had never been cautious in his life. If it were in the past, Gao Xue would have stared back at him with a glare, but this time, he remained expressionless, as if he hadn't seen anything.

  Before long, the young man finally passed them by and drove into Hangzhou city.

  As soon as the young man's figure disappeared, Gao Xue let out a sigh of relief, while his companions beside him burst into laughter. A young boy exclaimed in a shrill voice: "Ah Xue Ah Xue, you're so arrogant and think you're better than anyone else, but look at you now?"

  "What is this? This is called harming others. Harming others will harm oneself."

  Hahaha.

  In the midst of a chaotic and noisy laughter, a slightly older young knight, about twenty-one or two years old, approached Gao Qi, laughing and saying: "A Qi, before you used your beauty trick on that guy, you could manipulate him however you wanted. Now what's going on? Isn't this reaping what you sowed?"

  It wasn't until then that Su Wei and the others realized that the young man was actually the sworn enemy of Gao Ji, who had been infatuated with him after being disguised as a woman.

  It's no wonder that when they were enemies, Gao Jie faced the young man with a fierce expression, and he must have been shouting and killing. But after using his true face to make a move of beauty trick, in order not to let the opponent recognize him, he had to hide and hide.

  Facing the mocking gaze of the crowd, Gao Ke was furious. He let out a loud hum and shouted: "What do I have to be ashamed of? Once we enter the city, I'll immediately disguise myself as Yuan Tiangang and compete with that little brat."

  He covered his cheeks and hummed with a bit of toothache: "That guy hasn't seen a woman in eight hundred years, and he actually came to Hangzhou, do you think it's necessary?" The tone was full of anger and shame.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter around him grew louder.

  Laughing and laughing, a sudden horseshoe sound came, and in no time, Cheng Shi's figure appeared before everyone.

  Cheng Shi was clearly aiming for the young men, and suddenly seeing Su Wei and others, he couldn't help but stare. After greeting them, Cheng Shi turned to Gao Ji, "Young master, weren't you locked up in isolation? How did you manage to escape so quickly? Ah, ah! This is terrible, Madam is furious, she's now locking herself in her room, refusing to eat and crying."

  He was fearless of the heavens and the earth, but feared his mother's tears. Suddenly, that smug face turned into a mess when he heard his mother had locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink, only crying.

  He didn't notice Su Wei and Ah Green's complex expressions, blinked a few times, and then called out in distress: "How can Mother be like this? She, she's crying again! I'm just rushing back to let her continue locking me up, how can she not have any patience at all, always using crying to scare me?" His voice was quite loud, with a tone of being wronged and unbearable, but the tension in his tone was also unmistakable.

  Cheng Shi couldn't help but want to laugh, and he thought to himself: Isn't it just this one move that you're using, Mrs., that's making you cry so bitterly?

  After shouting for a while, Gao Xue suddenly looked at A Lu and others, then smiled again, and shouted to Cheng Shi: "Cheng Shu Cheng Shu, didn't mother always miss Aunt A Lu? Hehe, hurry back and tell mother the news of Aunt A Lu's arrival, give her a surprise."

  Cheng Shi was in this mind, heard the words and responded: "Good."

  He was just about to leave when Gao Ji shouted again: "Right, and don't mention that Aunt Su has also arrived."

  After seeing Cheng Shi off, Gao Qi hastily ran to the horse carriage where Ah Lu's son lived, pulled down the curtain and shouted: "Halt the progress for now, and don't let anyone disturb me."

  Before everyone could react, a young knight explained: "Gao Xi is going to disguise himself." He said coldly: "He's going to clean up the mess he made."

  Everyone was still puzzled, but the young man didn't want to say anything more.

  In less than two minutes, the curtain of the carriage was lifted and a young man in Chinese tunic suit with an ordinary face but somewhat different temperament jumped out.

  This is clearly another person!

  A Lu and others who had never seen this scene before couldn't help but stare blankly.

  Not only did he change his clothes, but also the young man who got off the carriage walked briskly to Ah Lu and others, bowed to them, and said solemnly: "Everyone, Ah Ji has something important to do, let's go first." He turned to Su Wei with a smile and asked: "Uncle Su, shall we enter the city together?"

  Su Wei was just about to leave the crowd, intending to avoid running into Zhang Qi and others. Upon hearing this, he nodded and said, "That's okay."

  "Then let's go."

  As soon as the words fell, Gao Qi kicked down one of A Lu's sons with one foot, turned over and jumped onto his mount. In the midst of the young man's loud cries, he said loudly: "What are you shouting about? I ride your horse, you ride my horse, that's all." After saying this, he pulled the reins and rushed out far away.

  Su Wei rode alongside him, gazing absent-mindedly ahead, as if the bustling city gate would reveal a familiar figure etched in his heart for over a decade.

  After a while, Su Wei asked in a low voice: "Child, aren't you heartbroken for your mother? It's not good to avoid her like this?"

  Gao Xue's face turned sour as he spoke, "It's precisely because my mother is about to come over to welcome Aunt Lu that I hastily avoided her." He looked around cautiously and whispered, "The woman I disguised myself as in Zhou Di bears a 30% resemblance to my mother..."

  As soon as this was said, Su Wei immediately understood. It turned out that Gao Jian was afraid that his old opponent would see Zhang Qi's true face and think that his crush was related to Zhang Qi, and then come knocking on the door. By then, not only would Gao Jian's hometown and parents' identities be known to his opponent, but also the fact that he had disguised himself as a woman to deceive people would be revealed to Zhang Qi and Gao Changgong.

  He is now going forward, originally wanted to mend the pen after losing the sheep.

  Su Wei turned his head to look at the lively and restless little kid jumping around beside him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

  When he first learned of the child's identity in Chang'an, he thought that this child was too clever. A thought can become a demon, a thought can become a Buddha, and his heart couldn't help but secretly worry. Now seeing the great righteousness of Confucianism, he could still listen to it, Su Wei's heart let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and he couldn't help but think: Who knows what kind of person this child will become in the future?

  Su Wei and Gao Ji squeezed into the gate of Hangzhou City, mixed in with the crowd, just as they saw a black lacquered, extremely spacious horse-drawn carriage, under the escort of Li Jiang and others, heading out of the city.

  Just as the carriage brushed past them, a spring breeze blew by, and Su Wei turned his head to see in the carriage that face still absolutely beautiful, but with less of the pure and transparent natural beauty of a young girl, and more of the mature and seductive beauty of Zhang Qi.

  After a separation of over ten years, time had left no mark on her face and eyes, she was even more beautiful and captivating!

  Su Wei stared blankly back, the carriage curtains had long been closed again, but he felt a suffocating tightness in his chest that almost made him choke.

  It wasn't until a long time had passed that a bright and youthful voice whispered beside him, "Uncle Su?"

  He shouted four or five times before Su Wei finally turned his head around. Seeing the expression on his face, the young Gao Bian was clearly startled, he stared blankly at him and muttered: "Uncle Su..." Is love in this world really so terrifying? In this vast world with its endless landscapes and countless delightful places to visit, looking at Uncle Su's expression this time, it seems that even a thousand mountains shrouded in snow or ten thousand miles of layered clouds are nothing more than a lifetime of loneliness.

  After a while, Su Wei came back to his senses. He couldn't help but smile wryly at the shocked expression on Shang Gao's face. Forcing a smile, he turned his head to look in the direction the carriage had left and said hoarsely, "Don't worry, knowing your mother is doing well, I can also let go."

  Gao Xiao asked in a low voice, "But if Su wanted to let go, he should have done so long ago." He then asked again, "Is your wife the new Xing Princess from the previous dynasty?"

  Mentioning the rising princess, Su Wei completely woke up and slowly said: "She's fine, we're fine. This time I came, just wanted to take a look. Now that my wish is fulfilled, this departure will be our last meeting in this life, and I have no regrets."

  Gao Kui knew that Su Wei and the Princess of Xīnxīng were doing well. At that time, when Yuwen Hu lost power, Yuwen Hu's children and trusted officials all became targets of public criticism in Chang'an City, and the Princess of Xīnxīng was no exception. Even Yuwen Yong had asked Su Wei to divorce his wife several times (the story of Yuwen Yong's later life is also recorded in detail in the appendices).

  Even the enormous pressure was borne by Su Wei, and until now, the status of Xinxing Princess in Chang'an is not high, and Su Wei's clansmen also bully her a bit. If she hadn't given birth to children for Su Wei after all, I'm afraid her situation would be even more embarrassing.

  No matter what the world says, no matter how the imperial court is, Su Wei's attitude towards his wife is impeccable. All these years, he has never taken a concubine, nor has he ever lingered in brothels. He respects and trusts his wife deeply. No matter when, if anyone dares to insult Princess Xinxing, he will sternly rebuke them!

  Some people say that they are the model of loving couples in the world. That reputation is something Gao Ji have heard before, and it's not a good thing to hear about someone being so frivolous.

  Perhaps in the world of humans, there has never been a perfect marriage achieved through deception and manipulation. All happy couples are just waiting for you to be as sincere as I am.

  Just as Su Wei's mind was dazed, Gao Ji suddenly bowed his body, his eyes narrowed into a line, and the whole person stared at a figure in front of him like a wolf! That figure was none other than his arch-nemesis who had been teased by him disguising himself as a woman!
