Chapter 3 Liuchen
At that time, the sky had not yet dawned, Chan'er followed Xiuxi into the camp of the prince of Yiguo, and Liuchen, who heard the sound, appeared at the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"See you again. Liu Chen raised his eyebrows and said to Chan'er, "The county lord really dares to follow him, aren't you afraid that it will be our bureau again?"
"Human eyes don't lie, and this time I believe him. Chan'er glanced at Xiuxi and replied.
"Time is running out, if you don't see Lord Chanyuan after dawn, Hengjun will make a move. Xiuxi looked at Liuchen and said.
"All the soldiers are waiting for you on campus. Have you thought it through?" Liu Chen looked directly at Xiu Xidao.
"It's the only right path right now, and it's the path I really want to take. After Xiuxi finished speaking, her eyes turned to Chan'er and said, "Wait for me to come back." I really want you to wait for me this time. ”
Chan'er had mixed feelings in her heart, and nodded silently. Xiuxi then turned around and walked out of the tent with Liuchen.
An hour later, Xiuxi, the prince of Yi Guo, and Liuchen, the deputy general, led the Yi army soldiers to the north side of the Zhongnan Ancient Road. The garrison range of the Demon Palace thus expanded all the way to the north side of the Zhongnan Ancient Road, extending to the city of Yiguoding.
When Chan'er accompanied Xiuxi and Liuchen out of the north gate of Dingcheng, she suddenly stopped and said softly:
"Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. You can already go anywhere, and I can't go any further. ”
"yes, it's time to say goodbye. Xiuxi's expression froze, and he said in a low voice.
"I'll be waiting for you in front. Liuchen reined in his past sharpness and said to Xiuxi, then turned his gaze to Chan'er and said, "I hope that I am no longer an enemy with the county lord, but who can say anything clearly." ”
Xiuxi unconsciously sighed because he understood the deep meaning of Liuchen's words, and when Liuchen walked away, he spoke again:
"You and Liuchen both have extraordinary significance to me, but I have no right to control his dreams, and he probably won't fade out of your field of vision in the future, I just hope you don't go head-to-head. ”
"In addition to his identity as the owner of the bank, there are other things, right?" Chan'er seemed to have realized.
"Well, you'll know this when you should know. Xiuxi said, and the words changed, "Don't you ask me where I'm going next?"
"Go to a place where you can 'walk in a flat boat, admire the weeping willows, and smile at the romance of life'. ”
"That love and that scene, how good! It's just that there is a farewell here, and there is no time to meet. Can I give Chanyuan a hug to Lord Chanyuan?" In order to hide his loneliness, Xiuxi pretended to say in a brisk tone.
Chan'er shook her head when she heard this, and when she saw a touch of loneliness flashing in Xiuxi's eyes, she smiled, and then stepped forward in two steps, stood on tiptoe and gave Xiuxi a hug.
Xiuxi's eyes lit up suddenly, and a moment was enough for him to reminisce for a lifetime.
After a while, Chan'er retreated and said:
"Take care. I took my leave. ”
"Take care. Xiuxi's voice fell, and the two turned around almost at the same time and walked in different directions.
After taking a few steps, Chan'er stood still, hesitantly turned around, and wanted to thank Xiuxi again, but Xiuxi seemed to have a sense, waved her hand with her back to Chan'er, and then strode away.
Liuchen, who was waiting outside the city, saw Xiuxi coming towards him, and said in a slightly mocking tone:
"You gave up the country, but you didn't win the beauty. ”
"Nothing to do. The corners of Xiuxi's lips hooked an arc, stretched her waist, and spit out the stuffy breath in her heart, "I will be a comfortable idler in the future." ”
"Are you sure you plan to wander the world alone?" Liu Chen paused, but couldn't help but say, "Xi, you can help me." ”
"We've been together for too long, Chen, you haven't even noticed that you already have the ability to stop being dependent on me. At a critical time, don't forget that there is also a force of Xiuxuan. I want you to take care of each other. ”
"I know you care about Xiu Xuan, he is very talented and has a decisive personality, you should rest assured of him. I will contact him if necessary. ”
"Hmm. Also, say hello to my aunt for me. If I come forward in my current situation, it will inevitably cause trouble, so I should wait until the war subsides before I go to pay my respects. ”
"Good. ”
"You should be careful yourself, and expect you to get back everything you lost as soon as possible. ”
"I will. ”

Three days later, the royal court, that is, the concubine's daily residence, was in the big tent -
That is, the concubine sat in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, suddenly frowned, stroked the long hair on the left side with her left hand, and said to the maid beside her:
"Look, Tamar, do I have a gray hair here?"
"Hui Niangniang, there is a white hair. Tamar took two steps forward and looked at it for a moment, then said with relief, "It must be because you have been too worried about state affairs these days and have not slept much at night." The slave and maid turned back and asked the dining room to prepare more sesame seeds to mix in the diet, so that your hair is blacker than before. ”
"You clever mouth. Concubine Ji shook her head with a smile, and then said, "This white hair is always an eyesore, you come, help me pull it out." ”
"The hair on the mother's head, how dare the slave and maid pull it out. Tamar made a backward stance and said with a pout.
"I'll let you pull it out, what are you afraid of?" the concubine glared at Tama from the mirror, "Just listen to me." ”
"Yes. Tamar answered, and was about to make a move.
At this time, suddenly a figure flashed into the big tent, and said in a small but powerful voice:
"Tamar, let me come. ”
When Tama heard the voice of the visitor, she turned around in disbelief, and the concubine was even more shocked in her heart, and turned to stare at the visitor, so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Your Highness......" Tamar's eyes were full of surprise, and after half a ring, he reacted and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid went to guard outside the tent." ”
The one who was called "His Highness" by Tama seemed to be a liuchen from the country of Yi. I saw him nod his head in approval to Tamar, and strode towards the concubine.
"Chen'er. That is, the concubine's eyes followed Liuchen, and her eyes were filled with tears of surprise.
"Mother, my son is back. Liu Chen knelt down on one knee in front of Concubine Ji, held Concubine Ji's outstretched hand with both hands and said.
"How are you fighting with Hengguo, are you injured?" said Concubine Ji motioned for Liuchen to get up, pointed to the square stool in front of him and asked him to sit down.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. But how are you? What is the matter with Tamar saying that you don't sleep much at night?"
"Since the beginning of this month, the reports of the war against the lonely country have come back one after another, and they are all news of defeat, and it is inevitable that the capital will be stormy and the hearts of the people will be shaken. You don't know what the situation is in Yiguo, and my mother is a little worried. That is, the concubine changed her words, and then said, "It's great to see that you are safe and sound now." ”
"My son will never leave you again, and I won't let you worry about it anymore. ”
"What happened to you, Xiuxi and Xiuxuan, okay?"
"They're all lively, you don't need to worry. But a lot of things are a long story, and I'll talk to my mother more carefully when I have time. ”
"Well, that's fine. The concubine paused for a moment and said, "That'...... Chen'er, what are you going to do next?"
"I heard that Ge Sheng has no possibility of an heir. Mother thinks, is my biggest opponent a mushroom or a Xun Qi?"
"Mushroom is the eldest son of the emperor, Xun Qi is the son-in-law, although we don't pay attention to these in the grassland, but both of them have their own capital. The confrontation between the DPRK and China around the two of them also rose one after another. ”
"Are they all in the royal court at the moment?"
"Yes, it's almost the New Year, and everyone is preparing for the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
"After defeat on the battlefield, our emperor and princes will have fun. ”
"In order to please the emperor, the eldest prince seems to be recruiting talented people everywhere recently, preparing to perform for the emperor at the palace banquet. ”
"Trickster, he must be interested......" Liuchen said, smiling to himself.
"Do you know someone like that?"
"When I was running the bank, I dealt with the merchants of the Night Country, and I learned a few tricks from them, so it should be enough for a palace banquet. As long as I know where Takeshi usually hangs out, I have the confidence to attract his attention. ”
"So, you choose to be on the side of the eldest prince?"
"Xun Qi has always had Zuo Qiu Yu to help, I always have to help balance the strength, so that the two sides can be evenly matched. If I don't see the day when they both lose, how can the hatred in my heart be calmed, and how can my mother's forbearance over the years be counted!"
"Actually, your father has been thinking about you. If you show up at this time and recognize him, he may still treat you differently. That way, we don't have to fight with anyone, and we can ...... like we did back then."
"It's not that simple. After all, the emperor is the emperor, even if he has the heart to protect me, he still has to take into account the interests of all parties. Liu Chen still did not call himself "Father", and his eyes deepened between his words, "I am not a newborn baby, and I will not let others decide my fate again." After today, there will be no more Liuchen who drifts with the tide and wanders, and there are only the four princes who have returned-Chen. It's mine, I'll get it back myself. ”
"Good. What you decide, my mother will support you. ”
"I've been here for a long time, and I'm going to leave while the guards are changing. Please bear with me for a while, during this period, it is inconvenient for my son to come to ask for peace. ”
"Well, do what you want and tread carefully. ”
"I almost forgot, I helped my mother pull out the gray hair on her head. Seeing that Concubine Ji nodded in agreement, Liuchen did as she said, and then said, "You relax, I will take care of myself." ”
"If there's anything you need, find a way to inform Tamar. ”
"I know. ”

On the same day, Chan'er was still accompanied by Tang Yin and returned to Moge along the underground tunnel. Because there was no obstacle to the Demon Palace to enter the hinterland of Yi Kingdom, there was no need for Kong Lin and the others to stay to help, and Kong Lin, Feng Yuyang, Gong Fox, Jing Hu, Luo Dong and a group of twelve people rushed to Moge from the road, waiting for the opportunity to raid the rear of the second prince of Yi Kingdom. Zhan Duxiao went to Hengdu in person to report military affairs to the Emperor Rui.
When Chan'er and Tang Yin arrived at Moge, Kong Lin and his party were still on their way. Chan'er had dinner with Guan Zhou, Guan Shu and Helian Jialu, and several people analyzed the situation on the battlefields in various parts of the country, and in the blink of an eye, it was already three o'clock in the blink of an eye. Due to the fatigue of the journey, Chan'er left the table first, ready to go back to the room to take a hot bath, and then rest early. Halfway through, I saw the remnants of the dragon leading the trail to meet him.
"The county lord. ”
"Brother Crippled. ”
"This is the third brother's attendant, Troll. Long Youqian introduced the trace to Chan'er and said.
"Trolling marks see the little master. I have something to say to the county lord. ”
"You talk slowly. Long Youwan smiled indifferently, and then turned to leave, but no one knew the sourness in his heart.
"Brother Xiao, how is it?" Chan'er said with a concerned expression.
"In the battle a few days ago, I was stabbed in the left shoulder by Chang Qi of Orange Flame Villa. Trolling said truthfully, "Master asked me to tell the county lord, the county lord's mind is accepted, and the lord will take care of himself for you." The lord's injury is not serious, and the county lord does not need to worry. ”
"He's got himself caught up in the maelstrom, and how can I sit back and watch from the other side. Once Moge repelled the army of the second prince of Yi Kingdom, I will go to the Star Altar. ”
"County Lord, this can't be helped. If you knew that you were going to take the risk yourself, you would definitely jump to your feet. Trolle said hurriedly.
"Where he has lived for ten years, he is not afraid of danger, what am I afraid of. Chan'er smiled slyly, "That's it." ”
Trolling was stunned for a moment, and for a moment she seemed to understand why Shen Xiao was so affectionate to the little master, she could indeed afford Shen Xiao's affection.
