The general's mansion, which had been lively for a day, returned to tranquility with the end of the feast.

In the guest courtyard, Zhu Yuenuan wore her long hair that had just been dried up, stood at the table and cut the wick of the candle, listening to the occasional sound of insects in the courtyard.

The candlelight flickered, and her face was indistinct.

In the compartment, the sound of water gradually stopped, and after a moment, Chu Yitong walked out in a long robe, the black hair hanging behind his head was slightly wet, and his white face was still stained with wine, as if he had smeared a faint rouge.

When he saw Zhu Yuenuan with his back to him, he paused in his steps, smiled lightly, and then walked over slowly.

"Nuan Nuan, why don't you rest first?"

"Not sleepy." Hearing this, Zhu Yuenuan put down the scissors in her hand and turned to look at him, with a slightly uncomfortable expression, but she still greeted her, "I'll help you wipe your hair." ”

"No, you don't." Chu Yitong chuckled and reached out to grab her, "Let's talk." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and sat down at the table with him.

Chu Yitong didn't speak, just stared at her quietly, his eyes were serious and careful, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuenuan's face turned red for no reason, but her eyes looked back at him brightly, raised her hand and shook it lightly in front of him, and said with a smile, "Stupid in prison?" ”

"You've lost weight." Chu Yitong spit out at this time.

"You're not the same." Zhu Yuenuan couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled, "You just want to talk to me about this?" ”

"It's not ......," Chu Yitong shook his head.

"And what do you want to say?" Zhu Yuenuan leaned over slightly, holding his knees with both hands. Raised his head to look at him, his eyes faintly showing a hint of anticipation.

"I ......" Chu Yitong opened his mouth, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, and his eyes fell on the pair of plain hands on his lap.

"Say?" Zhu Yuenuan's eyes shone brightly.

"I might ...... You can only wait at home for a few days. Chu Yitong paused for a moment, but still spoke, "Before October, you must go to Qimen to take office." ”

"Well, I know, when we go home and settle down, let's take my father-in-law and mother-in-law with us." Zhu Yuenuan nodded. Said with a smile.

"No......" Chu Yitong shook his head. raised his head again and looked at her guiltily, "Nuan Nuan, I'll go alone." Home...... It's still tiring for you. ”

"Why?" Zhu Yuenuan didn't understand. Asked suspiciously.

"My father and second brother have been exceptionally incorporated by the Ministry of Industry. They can't go with me, my mother is at home alone, and it is inevitable that she will be lonely. So, you ......" Chu Yitong said this, and stopped again, as if he was considering his words.

Zhu Yuenuan squinted her eyes, and suddenly stepped forward, almost touching his face, staring at him without blinking.

"Nuan Nuan ......" Chu Yitong sighed helplessly, leaning back slightly, "Listen to me, okay?" When I'm down there, I'll send someone to pick you up. ”

Zhu Yuenuan didn't say good, nor did she say bad, she just looked at him.

Chu Yitong sighed again, reached out to hold her hand, and said softly: "The road ahead is unknown, I can't let you suffer with me, and I can't let my father and mother ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuenuan bit her lip slightly, got up and pulled his hand away directly, sat in his arms, held his face with both hands, glared at him and said in an affirmative tone: "You have something to hide from me." ”

Chu Yitong's whole person froze, his arms were slightly open like this, and his face suddenly became the same as Guan Erye, flushed red, and it was smeared behind his ears.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Zhu Yuenuan's hands let go of his face, but they put their arms around his neck, looked at him with a slight pout, and asked.

"No......" Chu Yitong's breath was a little unstable, but the whole person eased up, his hands squeezed his fists slightly, slowly retracted it, put his back on her back, and looked up at her, "I just want to wait for it to stabilize and then pick you up." ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship." Zhu Yue pouted warmly, not very happy.

"However, my mother can't have no one by her side." Chu Yitong tried to persuade her, looking embarrassed.

"Is that really the only way to go?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at him and asked.

"Nuan Nuan, I don't want to ...... either" Chu Yitong sighed silently.

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan stared at him for a long time, suddenly compromised, relaxed and leaned into his arms, her voice couldn't be softer, her head rested on his shoulder, and asked faintly, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Go home first to worship your ancestors, say goodbye to your father and mother, and leave." Chu Yitong sat down, holding the hand on her back and hesitated for a moment, finally moved, and hugged her waist tightly, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yue responded crisply, but in a gentle tone, there was a faint hint of shyness.

Chu Yitong let go of his hand, looked down at her, and wondered: "Nuan Nuan?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yuenuan opened her eyes, and after a moment's pause, her face suddenly turned red, and she let go and got up.

Chu Yitong got up, smiled at her, and walked to the bed first.

Zhu Yuenuan stood in place, looked at his back for a long time, and then pouted and muttered, "What a nerd." ”

What she didn't see was that when she said this, Chu Yitong's footsteps paused slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he immediately moved forward as if he were doing something.

This night, it was uneventful.

The next day, I went to ask Zhu Anxu and others to say goodbye, Chu Yitong was called into the study by Zhu Anxu, Zhu Yuenuan did not follow, and went to find Zhu Lianqing.

"Cousin morning." hurriedly said hello to Zhu Lianqing, and she went straight to the small study.

In that small study, there was a map hanging.

Zhu Yuenuan rushed to the map and looked for it.

"Warm girl, what are you doing early in the morning?" Zhu Lianqing followed curiously, leaned over to Zhu Yuenuan's side, glanced at it and asked.

"Gaoqi Mansion, Qimen County......" Zhu Yuenuan's finger was looking for the piece of Gaoqi Mansion.

"What do you think of this?" Zhu Lianqing stood behind, her face suddenly a little helpless.

"Found it." Zhu Yuenuan's hand was fixed on the upper left side of the map, and her face changed suddenly.

On the map, the entire Longyue country is like an eagle with wings spread, and Gaoqifu is the head of the eagle, Qimen County is the eagle's beak, Longwei Mountain in front, Longscale Mountain in the back, and the Heishui River runs through the middle, and the most important thing is that the northeast is Fengqi Country, and the southwest is Huyou Country.

"No wonder ......" Zhu Yuenuan sighed, and knocked her fingers on the location of Qimen County, "Cousin, can you tell me about the troop deployment in this area?" ”

"Nuan girl, you also know, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and now this result is already the best......" Zhu Lianqing looked at Zhu Yuenuan with some sadness, raised her hand and patted Zhu Yuenuan's shoulder, "This time, Master Kang lost his grandson and several powerful subordinates, for him, it was a heavy blow, Lord Wu has taken over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if Yu Zhi is important again...... This is something that those people will not allow anyway. ”

"Cousin, I understand." Zhu Yuenuan seemed calm at this time, and when she heard Zhu Lianqing's words, she couldn't help but turn her head and smile, "I just asked about the troop deployment over there, and I didn't mean anything else." ”

"Gaoqi Mansion, Beiji Mansion, and Lianggong Mansion all have large armies, and the three mansions have each other's containment of Huyou and Fengqi." Zhu Lianqing stared at her, for a while, shook her head helplessly, and drew a line on the map with her fingers, "Over the years, Fengqi Country has an excellent attitude, there are tributes every year, and the people in the border cities are rarely disturbed. ”

"I heard that the territory of Gaoqi Mansion is not peaceful." Zhu Yuenuan listened very seriously, her eyes fixed on the location of Qimen County, and sighed, "How is such an appointment different from exile?" ”

"Dad and eldest brother also explained this matter last night." Zhu Lianqing nodded, "But, this is also a way to do it, Yu Zhicai, this incident has also been included in the sight of Master Kang, if he wants to move Master Wu, it is now a little difficult, but Yu knows, just a new champion, no power and no position, if you miss this opportunity, it is possible, it will be hidden for a long time, for Kang Taishi, it is easy to pinch to death a champion or Hanlin who has no power and no position." ”

Zhu Yuenuan listened quietly, looking at the picture on the picture of Qimen County, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhu Lianqing put her hands on her shoulders and continued: "On the contrary, although the current Qimen is no different from exile, it is also the Qipin County Order, and it is also an official officially appointed by the imperial court. ”

"The students are co-authored, but they also ...... the invisible double-edged sword," Zhu Yuenuan sighed.

"If Yu Zhi wants to get rid of these disputes, there is also a way." Zhu Lianqing looked at her, "Qimen County is a three-regardless zone, even though it is dangerous, but the opportunity is dangerous, as long as you are willing, there is a way to get out of these disputes." ”

"He has his ambitions, and he won't agree to something so evasive." Zhu Yuenuan directly denied Zhu Lianqing's statement.

"You know him, that's what he said when my father asked him before." Zhu Lianqing smiled, looked at Zhu Yuenuan's serious appearance, patted her shoulder again, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Dad has discussed with the eldest brother, and he will choose a team of elite guards to accompany him, and I will return to Longjiang soon, and it will be close by then." ”

Zhu Yuenuan glanced in the direction of Suo Longjiang, twitched the corner of her mouth, and flicked her fingers: "I know him, but he doesn't understand, and last night he tried to keep me at home because he was worried that my mother-in-law would have no one to take care of him." ”

"Although the father and son of the Chu family have entered the Ministry of Industry, Yuyang Mansion is also the focus of this water conservancy construction, they should not be too far away from home, besides, take care of the elderly, please ask a few reliable kung fu maids to do it?" Zhu Lianqing patted Zhu Yuenuan's shoulder, "I support you, after all, Yu Zhishu is too angry, in that kind of place, sometimes, it is more effective to use fists, with you by his side, you two are literate and martial, and the party is the best strategy~~~"

Zhu Lianqing said, her tone rising strangely with her fingers.

"That's what I thought too." Zhu Yuenuan raised her chin arrogantly and said, "When the time comes, who will not accept it?" Let's fight!! (To be continued......) R1292
