Ishihara, the general of the Yu Dynasty, the pillar of the Zhenguo, commanded an army of 300,000 under his command, experienced a hundred battles in his life, never tasted defeat, and once opened up territory for the dynasty and annexed the surrounding four dynasties.

He spent most of his life in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, and he was like a brother to the current emperor, and he fought bravely on the battlefield together when he was young.

Ishihara's achievements and achievements could not be written in a single book.

It is conceivable that the status of the general is so lofty in the entire Dayu Dynasty.

If the fifth prince can really get his support, he will almost step onto the throne with half a foot, so Chu Tianming plans to come forward in person.

The carriage slowly drove out of the imperial city and stopped at a beautiful mountain villa in the eastern suburbs.

Surrounded by green mountains and bent green water, it is like a paradise away from the world.

The villa is nameless, only the doorposts on both sides of the gate are engraved with the words green mountains and green water, so it is called the green villa.

It is rumored that the four characters of green mountains and green waters came from the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, because this mountain villa was originally ordered by the emperor to be built and rewarded to the general.

Ishihara is old, and he has stopped going to the court since last year, and chooses to hide in this green villa, ignoring the affairs of the court.

But everyone knows that the name of the general is still there, the power is still there, and almost all the generals in the court are looking at the general's horse.

The fifth prince and Chu Tianming walked down from the carriage, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers here, sparsely populated, who would have thought that the general who could make the entire Dayu Dynasty tremble with a stomp would live in seclusion here.

At this moment, one of the servants guarding the door came over and was about to ask who they were, but he heard the old man of the sixtieth year.

"I went to inform the general, and said that Chu Tianming came to visit. ”

The servant had not heard the name, and frowned contemptuously.

"The general, how can you see any cat or dog if you want to see it, give me a walk. ”

Chu Tianming smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that he is old, and his reputation is not as loud as before.

The fifth prince immediately spoke calmly.

"Hurry up and report it, just say that the five princes have come to visit the general. ”

When the servant heard this, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly rushed into the villa.

It was only very soon that he turned back and was embarrassed.

"The general said that he was unwell and it was inconvenient to see guests, so please ask the fifth prince to go back. ”

The fifth prince frowned, didn't he want to see him.

Could it be that it was because of Chen Yufan's matter, Ishihara deliberately did so.

He wanted to let the servant report again, but at this time, Chu Tianming stopped him and said.

"The general is unwell, so we won't bother. ”

After saying that, he went directly into the carriage, and the fifth prince looked puzzled, but he had to follow into the carriage and return in vain.

"Teacher, if he doesn't see it, we'll be gone?"

Chu Tianming smiled faintly and said.

"Just make a show. ”

The fifth prince immediately understood.

Shi Yuan's matter of Chen Yufan, in front of outsiders, he will definitely not give him a good look, if at this time, Shi Yuan received the five princes, then what would his subordinates and Chen Yufan think.

"Teacher, when are we going to visit again?"

The fifth prince asked.

"Tonight. ”

At this moment, the news of the five princes going out of the city to visit General Ishihara has almost spread among the military attachés, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them.

And when they returned to the imperial city in vain, many people sneered.

offended the general, and wanted to win over, what a hairy boy who didn't understand the rules.

But at this moment, in the green mountain villa, Ishihara, who was full of gorgeous hair, was sitting on the shore of a lake and fishing, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"The red carp has the potential to turn into a dragon, and it should not be underestimated. Chu Tianming didn't take this sour literati in his eyes before, but now that he looks, this old boy has a bit of real talent. ”

At nightfall, after the five princes disguised themselves, they and Chu Tianming drove into the imperial city in a carriage again and went straight to Qinglu Villa.

This time, the servant guarding the gate of the villa seemed to have received an order, and when he saw a guest visiting at night, he led them directly into the reception hall.

An old man with gorgeous hair wearing a plain white robe sat in the main seat of the hall, holding a military book and reading it at night.

The Fifth Prince and Chu Tianming walked in, and he didn't look up, but asked lightly.

"The fifth prince came to visit late at night, I don't know what it is?"

The fifth prince immediately folded his fists and bent down to salute, behaving as if the younger generation saw the most respected elder, and said.

The general and his father are like brothers, so Shang Jing took it upon himself to call the general uncle. ”

Ishihara glanced at him slightly, and when he saw that his expression was sincere and there was no false pretentiousness, he said.

"Uncle doesn't dare to be, the fifth prince won't come here to recognize a relative. ”

He said this on the surface, but inside he knew it all for a long time.

The Fifth Prince continued.

"Uncle said with a smile, I came here tonight to apologize to my uncle for Commander Chen.

It's not that Shang Jing is unkind, but that Commander Chen's son bullied my friend, and Shang Jing was helpless to hand him over to the Criminal Department. ”

Ishihara waved his hand and said lightly.

"Needless to say, what kind of virtue Chen Yufan's turtle son is, everyone knows very well and deserves it.

It's just that you went to the book to refer to Chen Yufan, and caused him to lose his commander's hat, how should the five princes explain this?"

There are some things that you know are the same thing, but you just can't say them explicitly.

For example, now the fifth prince knows very well that Ishihara is very happy to see Chen Yufan demoted, but he definitely can't say that on his face.

He sighed.

"Shang Jing is also helpless in this matter, Commander Chen has made outstanding achievements, and has made countless achievements under the command of the general, but this character is slightly worse.

Shang Jing traveled abroad this time, saw a lot of people's suffering, and also heard a lot of people's grievances, many of which were aimed at Commander Chen, and even some pointed directly at his uncle.

After Shang Jing investigated, he learned that it was some mistakes made by Commander Chen, and those ignorant people scolded his uncle.

In order not to tarnish his uncle's reputation, Shang Jing had no choice but to write a letter to state the people's feelings, which involved Commander Chen. ”

Hearing this explanation, Ishihara sighed lightly, put down the military book in his hand, and laughed.

"It turned out to be for my reputation, Shang Jing, it was my uncle who misunderstood you. ”

These words not only recognized their uncle-nephew relationship, but also meant that Ishihara stood behind him, and the five princes were immediately overjoyed in their hearts.

As soon as Ishihara gave the order, a maid immediately brought up wine and food, and the two sat at the table and drank happily.

Chu Tianming always sat on the side and watched this scene, his expression as calm as a pool of wells.

When he was happy, Ishihara suddenly looked at Chu Tianming and said.

"Shang Jing, your skills are all taught by this old boy. ”

The fifth prince immediately replied.

"Chu Lao is my enlightenment teacher, and my talent and learning are all thanks to Chu Lao. ”

Ishihara laughed.

"The old boy has some ability, he teaches well, I am not as good as him in playing power tricks, but when it comes to leading troops to fight and cultivating martial arts, there is no one in the entire dynasty who can compare to me.

Shang Jing, I think you might as well follow me to cultivate martial arts, with a body of heavenly martial arts, what else in this world can't be obtained?"
