Dark Cloud woke up and found that he was lying on top of the bed in the bamboo house, and swept around, she was the only one in the house, "Du~" shouted softly, but no one responded. After being stunned for a moment, he remembered what had happened, and hurriedly got up and got out of bed, but found that he was holding a brocade handkerchief in his hand, and when he looked closely, it was Dongfangdu's handkerchief.

"Yun'er, I'm safe and sound, don't worry, wait for me for four years." Unfolded the handkerchief, and saw that such a short sentence was written on it. Although this character is written in charcoal, it is indeed the handwriting of the Oriental. Dark Cloud is most familiar with Dongfangdu's handwriting, but this is imitation or written by her own hand, and she can recognize it at a glance.

"Waiting for you for four years? Are you leaving? Why leave? Tears fell on Jinpa, recalling the previous scene, "Was you seriously injured, so you left?" Or is there something else? Gripping the handkerchief tightly and placing it on his chest, "It's okay to leave, I need time too, but it's only four years." "I don't know why Dongfang Du is still alive, but as long as I know that she is still alive, it is enough.

Dark Cloud glanced at the bamboo house, and when he went out, he saw his mount, Night Wind, being tied not far in front of the house. Seeing that his master had come out, the night wind hissed and raised his hooves. Dark Cloud touched the mane of the night wind, turned over his horse, and left Wangxing Mountain, it seemed that he was heading in the direction of the capital.

Banlan waited for Dongfang Du for a long time, but she didn't see her come back, but she waited for a woman in red, holding Dongfangdu's token in her hand, "It's Banlan, right?" The East asked me to come to you......"

In winter, the night comes very early, but by the time of the unitary, it is already dark. In the General's Mansion, the lights are bright, although it is a war period, you can't sing and dance for the New Year, but it is still necessary to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Generals and soldiers with official ranks sat around several tables, and the first person sitting at the main table was naturally General Zhang Shaocheng and Zhang Da.

"Report to the general, Vice General Ling and Little Brother Banlan are not here." This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner naturally could not be without Dongfang Du and Banlan, so Zhang Shaocheng sent a small soldier to Dongfang Du's courtyard. During the day, Banlan came to say that Vice General Ling was unwell today and wanted to take a day off. There was a group of people in the conference hall, Zhang Shaocheng naturally knew that Banlan was just a pretext, but the Vice General Ling in the eyes of everyone was actually His Royal Highness the Second Prince today, no matter what excuse he used, Zhang Shaocheng would agree.

"Why isn't it there?" Zhang Shaocheng was faintly uneasy, he didn't stay in the house well, did he go out to play? But there's nothing fun in this city, so it's not going to be out of the city! But there's no place worth going outside the city! Don't lose it! If this is lost, the sin will be great!

"Not really!" The soldier's fist was never put down, "The subordinate shouted outside the door for a long time, but there was no response in the house. Vice General Ling and the Banlan brothers did not come out, and Xu was out of the house. "Even if you sleep, you should be woken up by your own loud voice, and if you don't respond, you must be out of the house!

"General, since Vice General Ling is not here, let's start the banquet first." Chen Kehao, who was sitting on Zhang Shaocheng's left hand, said. This Vice Admiral Ling is just a deputy general, and he will not let the people at these tables wait.

Zhang Shaocheng frowned slightly, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said to the generals in the hall with a smile: "In this case, let's start the banquet." Come, today's Chinese New Year's Eve, I will drink a cup first, all the soldiers have worked hard...... "At the time of the war, Zhang Shaocheng did not dare to drink more, so he only asked everyone to drink a few glasses, and he was not allowed to drink again.

On the first day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Qiansheng, heavy snow suddenly fell, and Zhang Shaocheng, who was in the meeting hall, looked at the snow outside the house, and suddenly thought of a plan to deal with the enemy. Before I could rejoice, I received an unsigned letter. Zhan Xin looked at it, and there were few numbers in the letter: Ling Du is here. After flipping through it, I couldn't see any other words.

If you want to say that this is a blackmail letter, you should also say how much ransom you want, and if it is a threatening letter, it should also be signed as Xixuanjun or something. There are only these six words in the credible, and nothing else. "Where did this faith come from?" Zhang Shaocheng frowned and asked.

Seeing that the general frowned, the sentry hurriedly replied truthfully, "When the subordinates patrolled to the courtyard of Vice General Ling, they saw this letter inserted on the door, thinking that Vice General Ling was not there, and they were afraid that the letter would be taken away, so they took the letter and gave it to the general. "Looking at the situation, I know that Vice General Ling is not in the house, and he didn't participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night, so he should have not returned all night.

"Go down." Now that Dongfang Du is gone, he, the general, is the biggest guilty person, fortunately, he has thought of a good strategy to seize the city, why not recapture the border city first, and at the same time send people to find it, and then think about how to return to the saint. No, as soon as this oriental degree disappears, it will be four years. And he, Zhang Shaocheng, was ordered to stay in Jizhou all the time, and has been committed to attacking Xixuanguo for four years.

Four years later, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the nineteenth year of Qiansheng, the capital.

The two carriages stopped at the gate of the palace, and a girl dressed in red came down from the carriage in front. In this winter, I wear so little, and I don't know if it's cold or not. After the girl in red got out of the carriage, she took a wheelchair from the carriage and pushed it to the carriage behind her.

"Touhou, here." The woman in red said with a smile. After speaking, I saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and then I saw a woman helping a young and handsome boy to get out of the carriage and sit in a wheelchair.

"Sister in red, thank you for your hard work." At this time, Dongfang Du had completely grown, but he looked weaker than before, with a shallow smile on his face, he said to Gu Hongyi: "I have arrived at the palace, you don't have to accompany me anymore." ”

"You won't invite me to walk around the palace?" Gu Hongyi raised her eyebrows and asked, in the past four years, she has often accompanied Dongfang Duan's side, and she was a little reluctant to be separated suddenly.

Dongfang Du looked up at the tall cyan palace wall, turned his head to Gu Hongyi and said, "This palace, nothing better. In the past four years, although she has been far away from the capital, she is not a stranger to the capital. For four years, I quietly laid out, learned to use the strategy, and waited for a qiē to be under control, and then returned as promised.

"So, I took my leave." Gu Hongyi didn't insist, hugged his fists and said goodbye, turned around and walked towards his carriage. Before getting into the carriage, he seemed to remember something, and turned to Dongfang Du and said, "You and I agreed, don't forget it." ”

Dongfang Du smiled and nodded, and bowed, "Soon." Seeing this, Gu Hongyi got into the carriage with a smile. At the sound of the command, the coachman turned his horse and drove away from the palace.

"Childe, you said that you came back so suddenly, would the emperor be surprised?" Banlan pushed the wheelchair and walked towards the palace gate. The palace gate guard saw two strangers coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Who is coming?" Trespassing on the palace gate! "Look at that posture, if you don't report your name and say why, I'm afraid that the palace gate guard will draw a sword.

Banlan glanced at the palace gate guard who was speaking, took out a token from his arms, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has returned." "After leaving for four years, it's no wonder that the palace guard doesn't know the second prince.

"Two... The second prince ......" The palace gate guard looked at the two people in front of him in surprise, and only came back to his senses after a while, took the token in Banlan's hand and took a look, and the name of the second prince was really engraved on it. A cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and he handed the token back to Banlan with trembling hands, "The second prince forgives his sins, and the last general is clumsy...... Unexpectedly...... didn't recognize the second prince...... "The heirs of the royal family are withering, and there are only four princes and one princess in this palace, as the palace guard, they should all know each other."

"It's okay, it's that the palace has been away from the palace for too long." Dongfang Du gave a relieved look and waved his hand, "Go back and guard." Seeing that the second prince didn't want to punish the crime, the guard hurriedly stood back in place and watched Dongfang Du and the two enter the palace.

As soon as Dongfang Du entered the palace, someone went to report to Emperor Qianwen, and Dongfang Lingwu also learned of her return as soon as possible. After four years of leaving, everyone said that the second prince had died, and now that he suddenly returned, he was most uneasy in his heart, but he was afraid that it was the crown prince Dongfang Xi.

It was the prince's subordinates who found Gu Hongyi and asked her to kill at the beginning. It is best to let the Jianghu people kill his second emperor brother who is half a Jianghu person. Four years ago, Dongfang Du suddenly disappeared, and he decided that he was dead, and he didn't want to come back suddenly today.

At this time, the third prince Dongfang Xu, who was playing chess with the prince in the East Palace, held the chess piece for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Huang, the second brother is back, shouldn't we go and take a look." "What Dongfang Xi has done, how can his own brother not know, "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, choosing to come back today, must have a deep meaning." ”

"Banlan, let's go to the imperial study first, and then go back to Fengqing Palace." Dongfang Du thought for a while, and asked Banlan to push himself to the imperial study, "After disappearing for so long, my father must want to know what happened to me all these years." The corners of his mouth went up, and he smiled lightly.

Banlan, who was pushing the wheelchair, rolled her eyes and sneered: "So you deliberately sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be weak and sick?" I'm a girl, and I have to push your wheelchair! "I don't know why these two princes are so convulsive, I have to say that I am in a wheelchair! If you are frail and sick, you can pretend to cough, you can say two sentences and one sentence, why do you want to use a wheelchair!

The second prince was relaxed, but he took pity on her, a personal maid, and her hands were about to roll out of the cocoon. Looking at Dongfangdu's comfortable smile again, it seems that he enjoys the feeling of being pushed!

"Gong ...... Your Highness, the Imperial Study is almost here, you ...... Do you really want to go in like this? Banlan was a little uneasy in her heart, this emperor is no one else, he shouldn't be so easy to fool, I'm really afraid that the second prince will show some horses, and she almost called her son like she was outside.

"Don't worry." Dongfang Du turned around, gave Banlan a reassuring look, turned his head to look at the imperial study not far away, and whispered: "Father, I'm back." "There is a love in the eyes that cannot be seen clearly.
