Chapter 914: Beiji (6)
After coming out of the valley outside the mountain, Beiji went to Beisha City.
They went to the places where Deng Jing and they had been together and the roads they had walked together.
Beisha City today is very different from what it was more than a year ago.
At that time, many people in Beisha City had fled, and those who stayed behind were mostly the elderly, the weak, and the sick. Later, because of the covetous eyes of the Beidi, everyone in Beisha City was in danger, and some people didn't even have food!
The once deserted streets are now bustling with activity, with hawkers shouting and yelling with confidence and enthusiasm!
The vendors on the street sell all kinds of things, including vegetables, jade, tea sets, handicrafts, and candy figurines. The most popular ones are potatoes!
Steamed potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes...all kinds of ways to eat them have been researched by almost everyone in Beisha City!
It’s a pity that few people buy it. After all, potatoes are now a specialty of Beisha City. Almost every household has them. Why would they spend money to buy them from outside?
Even so, what Beiji saw was vitality everywhere!
He found a teahouse to sit down and rest, but found that there was even a storyteller here.
After listening to it for a while, I found out that it was about the story that Princess Li discovered the Northern Di army.
"Under the moonlight, dressed in white, standing on the flaming city wall, looking down at the Northern Di Grand Marshal, Shen Chuan!"
"That kind of momentum is like a goddess descending to earth, invincible!"
"How many women in this world can compare with our Princess Li?"
The storyteller was speaking passionately, and the people below were listening with great interest!
It is no exaggeration to say that in Beisha City, Shu He's fame is far greater than Baili Moqing's!
"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea."
A familiar voice came into Beiji's ears. He turned around in surprise and saw a one-armed man with a lady with her hair tied up in a bun sitting at the table by the window.
Shu Yuanqing?
Why is he here?
Just as he was wondering, Shu Yuanqing also looked over.
Their eyes met, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"General Bei?"
He stood up and walked over, bowing to Beiji.
Bei Ji nodded to him, "Young Master."
He glanced at the woman who came with Shu Yuanqing and asked, "Is that your wife?"
Is he married?
Shu Yuanqing followed Beiji's gaze, glanced at Aguo, and nodded, "Yes, we just got married a few days ago."
"A few days ago?" Bei Ji was even more puzzled. "I came from Quzhou City and just sent Yi'er back to the Mountain Valley... Could it be that the eldest son got married without telling the princess and Yi'er?"
After all, they are his sister and niece. Why didn’t he even tell them about such a big thing as getting married?
"It's just a small matter. There's no need to call them here specially."
Beiji didn't expect him to say that.
"Could it be that the knot between the princess and the eldest and second sons remains unresolved?"
She shouldn't be a heartless person. Why hasn't she forgiven Shu Yuanqing and his brother after so long?
"That's not the case." Shu Yuanqing smiled ashamedly, "It's just that some damage has been done. Even if a broken vase is repaired, the cracks will always remain."
"She's done very well. It's me who doesn't want her to feel guilty and sad every time she sees my empty sleeve."
When he and Yuan Qi left Kyoto for Anzhou, Shu He gave each of the two brothers a package.
In addition to the internal skills, there are also many healing medicines, and the most abundant are silver bills!
Those banknotes were enough for him and Yuan Qi to live the rest of their lives in peace and stability.
But they don't deserve that money...
"She always thought that she owed me this arm, and that I lost it because of her..."
"But what she didn't know was that when I lost my arm, I secretly rejoiced, believing that this arm could make up for all the hurt and debt I had inflicted on her over the years..."
"Until then, I was still doing things that hurt her!"
"This arm has become her eternal guilt towards me. Even though she never says it and acts indifferent, I still know it!"
He came to live in seclusion in Beisha City, actually because he wanted her to forget him, and forget the incompetent brother who was full of malice towards her.
"Beisha City is great. Her stories are here. Every time I come here to listen, I feel like she has always been in my life."
This is enough.
Bei Jimei listened to his words in silence, and after listening to them, he didn't know what to feel.
I always feel that there are still too many regrets between them as brothers and sisters.
The storyteller on the stage was still telling about Shu He's glorious deeds in defending the city. The two of them just listened quietly, and the corners of their mouths rose at the same time.
Only when the applause from the audience began did the two of them silently look away.
"It's getting late. I need to take my wife back to look after the store."
Beiji stood up and prepared to say goodbye, but heard him say, "General, please wait a moment."
Shu Yuanqing walked towards Aguo's table and said something to her. Then she took out something from her waist pouch and gave it to Shu Yuanqing.
Then she knelt down and bowed towards the north as a greeting, then left the teahouse and stood at the door waiting quietly.
"I opened a small shop in Beisha City, specializing in selling handicrafts. This is a bracelet my wife woven with gold and silver threads and silver bars, and it's decorated with some colorful broken gemstones."
"It's not a precious thing, just give it to the general as a souvenir."
The fingertips of his other hand were covered with thick calluses, as if they were caused by years of working on something.
Beiji took the bracelet and saw the round little gem. He probably guessed why there were such thick calluses on his fingertips.
It is caused by grinding the stone.
"Thank you, young master!"
Shu Yuanqing smiled slightly and said goodbye to him.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and turned back.
"General Bei, may I ask if you are acquainted with Guan He, Commander Guan, who is with the Ninth Prince?"
Beiji's expression changed slightly, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. "Why do you ask this, young master?"
"I heard that on the night when the Ninth Prince forced the emperor to abdicate, Ah He left the palace to fetch the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister, but was unexpectedly stopped by Commander Guan who was beside the Ninth Prince."
"That night, Ah He was very strange. After paying homage to the commander, she didn't kill him. Instead, she whipped him for a long time, as if to vent her anger..."
Bei Ji almost didn't hear what Shu Yuanqing said next. His brain had already stopped working when he heard Shu He whipping Guan He with a whip.
"General Bei, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that he was distracted, Shu Yuanqing called him in confusion.
Beiji's eyes were slightly wet, with both emotion and bitterness in them.
How could he forget her like this?
