Chapter 122: A Condition
Duan Chen and Duan Yi were already tall, and Lu Zhi had not yet fully grown up because of their age, and following the two of them, they were accidentally covered tightly, and the guy listened to Duan Chen's words, and probed his head for a long time, only to find Lu Zhi behind the two.

The guy apologized at the moment: "I'm sorry for the three distinguished guests, it's a small clumsiness, and I hope the distinguished guests are not strange." ”
"Alright, that's the old rule. Duan Yi said coldly and took the lead to go upstairs.
The top floor of Quanjude is really a bit high, Duan Chen and Duan Yi are both people who practice martial arts, and Lu Zhi has been running Mingyue Tower and other industries of the Wu family for many years, and he is also used to it, but he can barely keep up.
It's just that she climbed to the top of the building and came to the private room, she still couldn't help but sit down, reached out and poured herself a glass of water, and took a few breaths: "Sure enough, I'm like this, at most I can only stay in the private room on the middle floor, although this top floor is good, but it's really too tiring to climb." ”
Duan Chen sat down beside her with a smile, looked at her and said softly, "If you are too tired to climb, we will only have dinner in the private room on the middle floor in the future." ”
Lu Zhi was about to answer, but heard Duan Yi snort lightly on the side: "In the end, it's because you're not used to it, if you climb once a day, you won't feel tired." ”
Lu Zhi didn't say yes or yes when she heard this, she just silently lowered her head to drink tea and didn't speak again, and finally the guy asked the three of them what they wanted to eat, which broke the peace between the three of them.
After ordering the dishes, there was no more conversation between the three of them, each looking away and speechless.
The guy retreated after serving the wine and food, Xiaofuzi, Ding Jia, and Qiu'er stepped forward to prepare a meal for each of them, Duan Yi suddenly waved his hand and lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Stand down." ”
Xiaofuzi and the others were stunned, and each glanced at their master, and then exited the private room and closed the door.
Duan Yi stretched out his hand to pour wine for himself, put down the wine jug and raised his head, his gaze skimmed over Lu Zhi's face, and finally stopped at Duan Chen, he said lightly: "Early this morning, the princess has entered the palace." ”
When Duan Chen heard this, he only hummed in a low voice and did not answer.
Duan Yi looked at him and said, "The princess has not been out of the Buddhist hall of the Zhenjiang Mansion for nearly twenty years, this time she came out to meet her father, what should my cousin know?"
Duan Chen still didn't answer.
Duan Yi closed his eyes, and slowly opened them, his deep eyes were dark and could not shine: "My father promised the princess that he would promise her one thing, the princess has not opened her mouth for twenty years, even her father thought that she would never use this promise for the rest of her life, but she used it early this morning, she asked her father to marry Lu Zhi to you as his wife." ”
Lu Zhi, who had been bowing her head and not saying a word, suddenly raised her head when she heard this, she looked at Duan Yi opposite, and then at Duan Chen beside her, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart.
If she didn't know Duan Chen's origins, she would at most think that this was a sacrifice made by a mother for her beloved son.
But she knew Duan Chen's identity, and she also knew the entanglement between the princess, the king of Zhenjiang and the emperor of Zhengde, to be honest, she didn't understand what the princess and the king of Zhenjiang thought, and how they could still spoil Duan Chen.
Especially Princess Zhenjiang, Lu Zhi really couldn't guess what kind of emotions she had for Duan Chen, so that she would step out of a place that she hadn't stepped out of for twenty years for his marriage, and only then would she see the person who hurt her and ruined her.
Lu Zhi couldn't figure it out, she could only attribute it all to the greatness of maternal love, just like her mother, such a cowardly person, there were times when she was brave for her.
Duan Chen lowered his eyes, and couldn't see the look on his face clearly: "So far, I don't want anything else, but to be able to be with Zhi'er." ”
His words, although soft but loud, knocked heavily on Lu Zhi's heart with every word, she lowered her head, her long eyelashes fluttered, like the wings of a butterfly vibrating.
Duan Yi took a deep breath and looked at Duan Chen silently.
Duan Chen raised his eyes and smiled at him: "Cousin doesn't seem to believe it?"
Duan Yi didn't answer, but said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether the palace believes it or not, the important thing is that the father has already complied with the princess's request." It's just that the father can't give it to him, but he can marry whoever you want. ”
This Lu Zhi still figured it out, after all, Emperor Zhengde has always meant that he is Duan Yi's person, and now that the princess has moved out of the promise he made back then, he naturally can't break it, so if he doesn't give marriage or stop it, it is already a tacit consent.
Duan Chen nodded: "Okay." ”
Seeing him nod, Duan Yi picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp: "There is one more condition." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhi was slightly stunned, didn't she say a good promise?
She looked at Duan Chen to the side, but saw that he was still smiling and his expression was faint, as if he had known that this would be the case, he reached out and poured wine for himself: "What are the conditions?"
Duan Yi looked at him, and suddenly got up for a long time: "Pass on Your Majesty's message." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhi hurriedly got up and made a big salute to listen to the decree.
Duan Chen also put down the wine cup, got up and knelt on one knee: "Minister Duan Chen listens to the order." ”
Duan Yi looked at Duan Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, his thin lips almost pursed into a straight line, and he took a deep breath before he spoke: "Duan Chen, the special general who protects the country, is the supervision envoy of the Changfu, and after half a month, he will lead the capital town of Jiangwangfu to guard 50,000 people, and set off for the Western Regions Governor's Mansion to maintain the stability of the Changfu. ”
Duan Chen raised his head when he heard this, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on his handsome face: "Dare to ask, when will Weichen be able to return?"
Duan Yi didn't answer, just stared at Duan Chen with those cold eyes.
Lu Zhi raised her head slightly, seeing the two of them like this, what else did she not understand, Emperor Zhengde asked Duan Chen to take the only remaining guards of the Zhenjiang Palace, and set off for the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, and only said that it was to maintain law and order, but he did not mention half a sentence of return.
This is clearly an exile......
She lowered her head again, pursed her lips and said nothing, if so, then what could she do with his marriage even if it was decided? Two people who will never see each other in their lives have nothing more than two endings.
Either he or she couldn't bear the loneliness and ruined the marriage contract, or the two of them just kept this promise like this and died alone.
Either way, Zhengde Emperor is a win-win situation.
Lu Zhi sneered in her heart, she deserved to be an emperor, this heart was really ruthless.
But didn't he ever think that Duan Chen cared about his flesh and blood, and he did care about the people of the country, but he was pressing so hard step by step and leaving no room for anything, he was not afraid of being self-defeating and forcing Duan Chen to the point where he had to take that step?
The silence of death returned to the private room, and Duan Chen knelt on one knee, looking at Duan Yi with a smile on his lips, and did not open his mouth to receive the order.
Because, he is waiting, waiting for an explanation, or waiting for an ending......
I don't know how long it took, Duan Yi suddenly opened his mouth: "This palace promises you that you will be recruited to return to Beijing in three years at most." ”
