Duke Ping originally planned to return to Beijing after the New Year. After the New Year, he saw that his daughter-in-law was busy and had no time to take care of the children. There were three more brothers Zheng Dalang in the mansion, and he became increasingly unable to take care of others. Duke Ping simply stayed for a while.

After months and months, it was the early summer of the eighth year of Xuanping.

As the capital city wrote letters one after another, the lady kept urging him to return to Beijing.

No matter how reluctant the Duke of Ping was to leave his children, he had to go back.

On the night before leaving, Duke Ping held a banquet in person and invited his in-laws Cheng Wang family to come. He Qi came back from the army. Zheng Qinghuai and his wife were also invited.

Two months ago, Licorice Tangerine Peel came to the border with two children. Both of them were proficient in medical skills, so Cheng Jinrong felt like he had more right-hand men.

Licorice is strong and can only turn over to wash and dress Mrs. Jinning Hou by one person. In this way, Zheng Qinghuai and his wife have been much less comfortable and have more time to accompany their children.

Everyone sat together and raised their glasses to see Duke Ping off.

Pingguo Gongsu is a man-made man and never drinks much. He was in a mess tonight and accidentally drank a few more drinks.

After the banquet, Duke Ping took Cheng Wang's hand and said to his in-laws: "I will probably not go back to the border again now. I have spent most of my life here and can go back to Beijing to retire. I should have been pleased. But for some reason, I feel empty and uncomfortable now."

Cheng Wang, Duke of Peace, has known each other for many years and has been a relative of his family for ten years.

However, this was the first time Cheng Wang saw Duke Ping's sad and lonely appearance.

Looking at the water flashing in Duke Ping's eyes, Cheng Wang felt uncomfortable and whispered: "Duke has worked hard for most of his life to guard the border peace. Now it's time to rest."

"With He Qi in the border army, the Duke of the State can rest assured."

When he mentioned He Qi, Duke Ping laughed at the corner of his mouth with a self-deprecating voice: "I am a father, really failed. Sanlang and your father-in-law are like father and son, and they say everything. When they have free time, they will have dinner with you. He and I are at the same place, and they will quarrel a few times after a few words. They often end up in unhappy trouble."

"He wishes me to leave early."

"Actually, I always envy you. You have a good daughter and a caring son-in-law. The three brothers of Ayuan said they like grandfather, but they like you, their grandfather even more in their hearts."

Cheng Wang: "..."

Duke Ping was indeed drunk!

In the past, Duke Ping, who was so strong and domineering in the past, would never say such depressed words that were almost showing weakness.

Cheng Wang was a little embarrassed and coughed and said, "The Duke of the State is drunk, so let's go back and rest early! You have to get up early tomorrow to rush."

"I'm not drunk." How could a drunk person admit that he was drunk? Duke Ping's tone was very firm: "I'm very clear now. If you don't believe me, I'll leave to show you."

While saying that, he walked forward with his head held high and his chest raised, and walked back and forth in a squint manner: "Look, I'm walking straight, where is I drunk?"

Cheng Wang was so amused that he echoed: "Yes, yes, you are not drunk." He reached out and helped Duke Ping back to the house. Two personal guards stepped forward and helped Duke Ping to sleep.

Duke Ping Guo shouted, "I'm not drunk" and started snoring as soon as he lay down.

Cheng Wang: "..."

Cheng Wang smiled and sighed, and walked out.

It was getting late, so Cheng Jinrong opened his mouth to keep him: "It's almost midnight, so don't go back. Sleep in the guest room for one night, and I'll give you a farewell to my father-in-law tomorrow."

OK.

Cheng Wang agreed happily.

...

In the early morning of the next day, Duke Ping set out to return to Beijing.

The ones who followed Duke Ping were his personal soldiers who had been with him for many years. Many of them were over 40 years old. After staying in the border army for twenty years, they can finally return to the capital. They all showed joy on their faces, and they were reluctant to leave.

"Take care about it all the way!" Ayuan, Aman, Saburo, and the three of them bowed to say goodbye to their grandfather.

The three of Zheng Dalang brothers also came to see you off and said goodbye in a good manner.

Duke Ping's sorrow of separation last night was gone all night. At this time, he was full of energy and waved goodbye to the child with a smile. Then, Cheng Wang and others said goodbye to the peaceful country one by one.

In the end, it was finally He Qi's turn.

He Qi walked forward and bowed: "Take care about this trip! After returning to the capital, I remember to write letters from time to time."

Duke Ping looked at his son with complicated eyes, and after a long time, he opened his mouth: "I hope you will remember everything I said to you."

He Qi nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Father, I will lead the border army and protect the peace of the border between Da Chu."

Like the father and son who are enemies, they finally calmed down when they were separated.

Duke Ping's eyes flashed across everyone's faces: "I'm leaving now, I hope you take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned over and rode his horse away. More than a hundred personal guards rode their horses together. The sound of horse hooves broke through the tranquility of the morning.

Duke Ping did not look back, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to leave after looking back and take a look.

In just a moment, the figures of Duke Ping and his group disappeared in front of them.

A Yuan sighed sadly: "My heart is empty when my grandfather leaves." My grandfather lived at home for half a year, and his grandparents and grandchildren accompanied him day and night, and felt a deep affection.

Aman was also surprised that he couldn't bear to part with his grandfather and said unhappily: "From now on, no one will accompany us to study and practice martial arts."

Saburo directly flattened his mouth and started crying: "I want my grandfather!"

A Yuan and Aman are busy studying and practicing martial arts every day. Sanlang is young and has not yet started studying. He is by his grandfather every day. He spends the longest time together and has the deepest feelings.

He Qi did not speak out, and looked at the direction where Duke Pingguo left from afar, not knowing what it felt.

The father and son often argued unhappy when they met. The relationship between father and son was not very deep. When Duke Ping left, he felt as if something was missing.

Cheng Jinrong squatted down and coaxed Saburo who was crying and said, "Sanlang, don't cry. Grandfather has returned to the capital, and his parents are there to accompany Saburo!"

Cheng Wang also bent down and smiled and stretched out his hand: "Good Sanlang, grandfather hug him."

Sanlang choked and threw himself into his grandfather's arms. He was coaxed by his grandfather's kind words. After crying for a while, he stopped.

He Qi calmed down and hugged Saburo, saying to Ayuan Aman who was in a depressed mood: "You are on vacation today. Dad takes you to hunt on horseback. In the evening, the game he received will be roasted for you!"

A Yuan and Aman's eyes lit up and were excited: "Is what Dad said true?"

He Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course it's true. When did Dad deceive you?"

A Yuan and Aman immediately cheered and thrilled.

Zheng Qinghuai also smiled at his three sons and said, "Let's go too!"
