When Ding Sheng was called over by Chu Yuntian, he didn't know that he had asked him about Xiao Wu today.
It has been a long time since that incident, so long that Ding Sheng is absolutely sure that Chu Yuntian will not mention this person again, but today...... Ding Sheng felt a little strange, and on the other hand, he felt that it was probably General Chu or Fang Su who had encountered something related to Xiao Wu, otherwise General Chu would not have asked about a person who had disappeared for a long time and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Yesterday Fang Su and I met a beggar on the street." Chu Yuntian paused for a moment and continued: "Fang Su said that person is very similar to Xiao Wu, let me ask you, how did you deal with Xiao Wu in the first place. ”
Chu Yuntian looked like he asked casually, but the order he gave at that time was "Deal with him." As for how to deal with Chu Yuntian, although he didn't elaborate, Ding Sheng had been following him for so long, so he wouldn't know what Chu Yuntian meant.
Now whether that beggar is Xiao Wu or not, only Ding Sheng knows in his heart.
"General" Ding Sheng knelt down, his back was straight, his head hung slightly, his eyes were staring at the ground, and he said with some apologies: "Ding Sheng is guilty and let Xiao Wu go privately." ”
Chu Yuntian was playing with a jade pendant that had been taken from Fang Su in the morning, and Yun Yuntian asked lightly, "What is the reason?" ”
What is the reason, in fact, Ding Sheng himself didn't know, when Chu Yuntian asked him to deal with Xiao Wu, his first thought was to kill Xiao Wu.
But I don't know why, when I saw Xiao Wu, I actually had a trace of untimely unbearability in my heart, and this unbearability made the only time he disobeyed Chu Yuntian's order, and he threw Xiao Wu on the street.
He didn't know how long Xiao Wu, who was already addicted to drugs, would live in Liuzhou, a turbulent place, maybe he wouldn't have to do it himself.
Why did he let him go in the first place, Ding Sheng thought to himself, probably because he didn't hurt Fang Gongzi, probably because he had to leave Fang Su's life even though he knew that he had betrayed the old master.
Ding Sheng knew Fang Su's status in General Chu's heart, so he had that little sympathy at that time.
But now this bit of sympathy has put Chu Yuntian in a dilemma.
Ding Sheng hung his head, his throat was a little tight, and the shame of betraying Chu Yuntian in his heart finally bent his back that had always stood straight, "There is no reason." He heard himself say this.
"No reason?" Chu Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, he stood up and walked up to Ding Sheng, and asked condescendingly, "How long have you been with me?" ”
Ding Sheng didn't expect Chu Yuntian to suddenly ask such a question, he was in a trance for a moment, and said in a suppressed voice: "General Qiqi, seventeen years." ”
"Seventeen years." Chu Yuntian nodded, and then said, "Do you remember when we first met?" ”
Ding Sheng naturally didn't dare to forget it, he felt even more guilty about Chu Yuntian in his heart, his throat was dry, and his voice was a little hoarse: "When I was five years old, it was the general who rescued me on the street and brought me back to the general's mansion. ”
"Yes." Chu Yuntian nodded, "At that time, we were only so old," he stretched out his hand and compared, "We grew up together from below, practiced martial arts together, and you respectfully called me Young Master Chu, you treat me as your master, but I didn't treat you as a person." I won't pursue Xiao Wu's matter this time, now all you have to do is find him and bring him to me, whether he is dead or alive, I will see him. ”
Chu Yuntian's words were careless, but Ding Sheng's heart was surging when he heard it. He knew that General Chu had never simply regarded him as a subordinate, his current identity from a street beggar was given by Chu Yuntian, he respected Chu Yuntian, and Chu Yuntian also gave him respect. But now he has failed his general, for the sake of a ...... A thief lurking in the General's Mansion who wants to hurt him at any time.
Ding Sheng seemed to be holding a breath in his chest, and he urgently needed to vent this breath - Xiao Wu, as long as he found Xiao Wu, he would still be the Ding Sheng who was only loyal to his general.
After Fang Su woke up, he didn't see Chu Yuntian, so he was born alone and wandered around this mansion.
It is said that there was once a Taishou here, who went abroad and was killed by the Tartars, and then the imperial court never sent people over, Liuzhou has always been a small surrounding city of this dynasty, and often the Tartars come to harass from time to time.
And the first emperor was not a lord who liked to fight, and when he saw that Taishou was killed, he didn't say anything, but just sent someone to intimidate those Tartars at random, saying that if he harassed them again, he would send someone to clean them up.
Naturally, those Tartars didn't take those verbal warnings seriously, and still went their own way. Seeing that the emperor didn't really send someone over to fight with him, he became more and more bold
From the occasional petty robbery at the beginning, to the later open-minded entry and exit from Liuzhou, that is all an afterthought.
Liuzhou has been a city-state of our dynasty since ancient times, and now it has become a three-regardless zone, and I have to say that it has nothing to do with the imperial court.
However, it is not that there are no people in the court who dare to give direct advice, but most of them were also stopped by the nine kings and seven kings who were eager to please the first emperor at that time, and a small number of hard-boned people were also beaten and degraded by the first emperor, and slowly no one was willing to go to Liuzhou again.
It didn't take long for Fang Su to wander around the Taishou Mansion with this achievement, he went back to the room, Chu Yuntian hadn't come back yet, so he was a little bored.
His eyes were blank, his thoughts didn't know where to go, and he didn't even notice Chu Yuntian entering the door.
As soon as Chu Yuntian entered the door, he saw Fang Su who was facing the roof and didn't know what to think, he walked to Fang Su's side and shouted softly.
Fang Su didn't react.
Chu Yuntian frowned, he pushed Fang Su's shoulder, the person in front of him seemed to come back to his senses, his eyes had a new look, and seeing that the person next to him was sitting with Chu Yuntian, Fang Su said happily: "You're back." ”
"Yes." Chu Yuntian nodded. "Have you eaten it?"
"I've eaten it." Fang Su replied, "What about you." ”
"I've also eaten, I'll have something to do later, you stay in the house by yourself, if you want to go out, let Ding Sheng follow you, you know?"
There is no Taiping in the capital on Liuzhou Street, Chu Yuntian actually didn't want to go to the street, but he was afraid that he would be bored if he left him alone in the mansion, so he had to compromise and follow Ding Sheng.
"It's okay, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, I can't hide behind you all my life, General Chu, I'm also a gentleman, I have a little confidence in me, how can I be so fragile and need others to protect me everywhere."
Fang Su's words were beautiful, but he couldn't say anything about Chu Yuntian, he insisted: "If you go out, you must let Ding Sheng follow, this is not the capital, and you should be careful in the place where the border is stopped." ”
Chu Yuntian's rare tone was stern, and Fang Su couldn't say anything more, so he had to nod in agreement.
Before the two of them could say a few words, Chu Yuntian was called away again, leaving Fang Su alone and sitting in the room in a daze, in fact, just now he wanted to ask Chu Yuntian about the beggar, but he didn't know why, he seemed to have an intuition, when he mentioned the beggar Chu Yuntian's mood was not very good, was it because of Xiao Wu......
Thinking about it, he was kidnapped by Xiao Wu, Chu Yuntian must have been very anxious at the beginning, and Xiao Wu also hated it, but now he saw a similar person and wanted to get to the bottom of it, if he was Chu Yuntian, he would not be happy.
As if having figured out something, Fang Su decided to leave that beggar behind him, and no longer bothered about whether that person was Xiao Wu or not.
Ding Sheng was ordered by Chu Yuntian to protect Fang Su, and after seeing Chu Yuntian leave the mansion, he went to Fang Su.
"Huh? Little Tintin, you're here, come in and sit down. After Fang Su caught a glimpse of Ding Sheng out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly and warmly beckoned him into the house.
Ding Sheng didn't know the true meaning of the evil name of Little Ding Ding, but looking at Fang Su's malicious smile, Ding Sheng resisted the name like an animal intuition, and he said to Fang Su expressionlessly, "Hello, madam." Then he stepped into the house.
Fang Su looked at Ding Sheng with a painful expression, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to Ding Sheng after discussion: "I said little Ding Ding, can you not call me Mrs., are you deliberately blocking me?" ”
Ding Sheng still said with an expressionless face: "Ding Sheng doesn't dare, it's just that Ding Sheng doesn't know something, why does Mrs. call me Little Ding Ding." ”
Fang Su thought in his heart, "It's miserable, did the ancients know the meaning of Xiao Ding Ding?" He pretended not to understand and asked, "Don't you know what little Ding Ding means?" ”
Ding Sheng shook his head honestly.
Fang Su breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he began to half-truthfully fool the ancients Ding Sheng, he said: "This, in our place, in order to show intimacy with a person, just add a small character in front of his surname, your surname is Ding, so I will call you Xiao Ding Ding in order to show that we have a good relationship." ”
Ding Sheng seemed to be a little unconvinced, and he asked rhetorically: "Is Madam and General Chu not in a good relationship?" Why didn't Mrs. call the general Xiao Chuchu. ”
Shouting Chu Yuntian and Chu Chu, Fang Su was numb with goosebumps just thinking about it, and he said with a straight face: "Cough, my intimacy with Chu Yuntian is naturally a little different from the two of me." ”
Ding Sheng nodded with a loss when he heard this, and said, "Well, what Madame said makes sense, does Madame call General Xiaofujun in private?" ”
Fang Su, who was drinking tea, was sprayed in the face by thunder.
"Ahem, cough," Fang Su said while coughing, "Okay, okay, stop, let's not discuss the issue of salutation, let's change the topic." ”
Ding Sheng calmly stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and nodded expressionlessly.
Fang Su glanced at Ding Sheng apologetically, and suddenly he thought of an idea, although he really didn't think about the beggar just now, he was afraid that Chu Yuntian would be unhappy, but what if he asked Ding Sheng to help find it?
Fang Su felt that this idea could be had, Liuzhou was not big, with Ding Sheng's ability, there should be no problem in finding a beggar, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, so he asked: "Ding Daxia, can you do me a favor?" ”
Ding Sheng's face was a little tangled after listening to Fang Su's request for his help, not because of anything else, but because of Fang Su's last sentence, "Don't let Chu Yuntian know." "This is probably impossible, Ding Sheng thought to himself, General Chu and you asked me to do exactly the same thing, whether this is a leak or not, he himself does not know.
Seeing Ding Sheng nodding in agreement, Fang Su also showed a smile that his plan had succeeded.
