In a small town twenty or thirty miles away from the capital, Chang's mother and Chang Tianlei lived in a private house in the town, which they rented temporarily, in order to wait for General Chang to send someone to take them back.

Chang Shi and Chang's mother thought that it would be safer to contact General Chang first, and then return to the capital, although General Chang's case had been tried, but he only caught a staff general under the general's account, and the evidence found could only prove that he was greedy for a large amount of military salary and blamed General Chang. Others have not been found. So Chang Tianlei can't be allowed to enter Beijing rashly.

Chang Shi first went out to send the secret letter to the general's mansion. Then he went back to the temporary house and waited for news, but he was not in the same house as Chang's mother and Chang Tianlei, but found a house where he could see people coming from the official road and rented it.

In the General's Mansion, General Chang excitedly shook the secret letter of Chang Shi that his subordinates had obtained.

"Lei'er really has nothing to do, nothing to do." Chang Tianlei's whereabouts have always been General Chang's most concerned thing, he has never seen anyone alive or dead, and he often makes General Chang feel desperate. But he hasn't gotten the news of Chang Shi, and he feels that things are not so bad, so he is always tormented in contradictions, and now he finally has the news that Chang Tianlei is still alive, and he is still not far from him, how to make him not excited.

"General, that subordinate will immediately send someone to bring the little young master back." Chang Yi, like Chang Shi, was an orphan who was adopted by the general, but unlike Chang Shi, he joined the army and had a military rank, because General Chang had an accident, so he lost his official position, but fortunately he was not implicated, since he did not have an official position. He has been following behind General Chang, although General Chang was assigned to the frontier, he has been following, and now General Chang is back, and his official position has been restored, but he refused to go back, and resolutely returned to the General's Mansion to be General Chang's housekeeper.

"Well, it's going to be brought back, but don't make it too conspicuous. It's better to have a cover. General Chang calmed down his excitement. Start laying out your tasks in an organized manner.

"Yes. Subordinates understand. Chang Yi received the order and went down, and immediately gathered more than 20 people, divided into four roads and went out of the capital in four directions, each with two carriages. so as to hide people's eyes and ears.

"Old woman. Lei'er has finally found it back. Your Heavenly Spirit blesses our grandson with safety. "General Chang came to the Buddhist hall in the palace, where the tablets of his wife and son and daughter-in-law were enshrined, and all the things of the Chang family had disappeared in that fire. The tablets of the three were engraved by General Chang himself after he returned.

Looking at the three cold tablets in front of him, General Chang couldn't help but cry, his relatives were all gone at once, when he heard the news, his frightened heartbeat almost stopped, and he didn't slow down for a long time, he sat in a daze for two days and two nights, and finally heard the news that Chang Tianlei was not burned to death in the fire, so he came back to his senses. It's just that he was also powerless at the time, but fortunately, Chang Shi appeared in time and went to find Chang Tianlei regardless of the hardships.

Now that he has really brought Chang Tianlei back, how can this not make General Chang grateful to him in his heart.

The ten orphans adopted by General Chang that year, Chang 2, Chang 3, Chang 4, Chang 7, and Chang 8 have all sacrificed their lives for the country, and the remaining five people, only Chang Shi has no official position, but they have all returned to General Chang's side, which makes him very relieved, and sighs again and again that his original kindness was not in vain, and all the children have a conscience.

The movement of General Chang's Mansion naturally attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, and even the emperor was alarmed. Of course, Concubine Lan also sent someone to inform her.

"You mean, the General's Mansion sent someone out of Lu and brought a carriage?" Concubine Lan stared at the palace people who came to report the news in front of her, and clenched her hands a little nervously.

"Back to Concubine Lan, the news is true, the emperor specially instructed the servants to report this news to you." The palace man knelt on the ground and replied cautiously.

"Get up. Someone came to show the father-in-law a reward. Concubine Lan was in a good mood, and ordered the people around her to take twenty taels of silver and reward them to the palace man who sent the letter.

"The little one knocks on Concubine Xie Lan, and Xie Niangniang rewards." The palace people immediately knelt down and kowtowed again when they got the reward.

"Go down." Concubine Lan couldn't hide her joy, and after beating the palace person down, she couldn't sit still, and kept walking around in the palace room, and looked at the door from time to time, expecting good news to come in again.

"Niangniang, you better rest for a while." The palace maid next to her comforted her softly.

"Okay," Concubine Lan was also a little tired, walked inside, and leaned on the couch. "You send someone to watch at the door, and as soon as there is news, come and tell me immediately." She was still not at ease, and hurriedly ordered to go down.

"Yes." Someone answered immediately, and in a short time he was gone.

Chang 1, Chang 5, Chang 6, and Chang 9 each led a group of men and horses to the four directions outside the capital, and Chang Yi was traveling in the direction of Chang Shi.

Chang Shi saw their arrival in the house, but he did not rush out of the house to greet them, but after they stayed at the inn in the town, he used a secret message to lure Chang Yi to his residence.

"Big brother." Chang Shi knelt on one knee and shouted at Chang Yi.

"Good brother, you're finally back." Chang Yi excitedly patted Chang Shi's shoulder and helped him up. "Thank you for your hard work." They are all orphans, and they have been training with General Chang since they were children, so they are naturally like brothers. Although several people are about the same age, no more than two or three years old, Chang Shi is the youngest among them, although he is not confused, he is still a little brother in front of Chang Yi.

"Big brother, you have also worked hard." Chang Shi asked Chang Yi to sit down, and the two brothers talked about each other's experiences.

"Big brother, it's a little late for the younger brother to find Young Master Lei, but it still makes him suffer a lot." Chang Shi has always felt guilty for the suffering that Chang Tianlei has suffered. And letting Chang Tianlei succumb to a country girl and be a small guy also made it a little difficult for him to face the people in the General's Mansion.

"Tenth brother, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Young Master Lei would have suffered more." Chang Yi comforted him and said, "It's just a little guy, it's nothing, the general won't blame you, besides, according to what you said, Young Master Lei didn't do what a small guy should do, and a child as big as Young Master Lei in an ordinary peasant family would have already gone to work in the field." It's not hard-working. ”

"However, although we came out in four ways, we still can't take you back in person, and later, we will divide into two ways and continue to go to other places, and you take Young Master Lei back to Beijing, so the danger will be much smaller." Chang Yi told Chang Shi about his plans.

"Well, now Young Master Lei has changed very much, it is estimated that even if you see it, you will be surprised, if you don't look carefully, you will never recognize him as Young Master Lei." Chang Shi said with a smile. Chang Tianlei is already seventeen years old, and he has begun to develop in the direction of men, the Adam's apple has also come out, the mustache is about to grow, the edges and corners of his face are even more distinct, he is no longer a weak scholar, and he still has a scar on his face, which is estimated to be not easy to recognize.

"Later, Young Master You Lei will drive back to the capital, big brother, you can see if you can recognize him." Before coming, Lin Zhu deliberately taught Chang Shi and them a lesson, if they didn't want Chang Tianlei to be too eye-catching, not only would they have to change their appearance, but their expressions and demeanor would change, and now Chang Tianlei appeared in a handlebar-like image.

"Oh, then I want to see what has become of Young Master Lei." Chang Yi said with interest, "Let's leave after noon, no matter whether we recognize Young Master Lei or not, we won't meet you again." ”

"Then my eldest brother and I will meet in the capital." Chang Shixiang Chang Yi arched his hand.

"Okay, let's have a good drink then." Chang Yi nodded happily.

"It just so happens that I have good wine here, and I will rest with my eldest brother when I get drunk." Chang Tianlei asked for ten jars of wine from Lin Zhu, half of which was with him, and according to his habits, he would not return it. The five brothers have one altar each, just to have a good drink.

However, Chang Yi obviously didn't believe that Chang Shi could bring back any good wine when he came back from the countryside. But he didn't say it either. The two talked for a while, and Chang Yi disappeared and left.

Since they waited for Chang Yi, Chang Shi also returned to the house where Chang Tianlei and Chang's mother were and informed them that they were going to leave immediately.

Chang Tianlei pretended to be a handlebar, and Chang's mother pretended to be an old country woman, and I don't know how Lin Zhu did it, so she was stunned that Chang's mother's face was full of old folds, and suddenly became an old country lady in her fifties. The kind that goes to the city to visit relatives, and his hair is dyed a lot of gray hair, plus the dialect he learned in Linjia Village, not to mention how similar it is.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chang Shi, who was used to hearing official words, was also startled, and thought that it was really an old lady from the countryside.

Chang Shi did not follow the two of them, but drove a donkey cart, walking fast and slow.

When he passed by the only inn in the town, he found that Chang Yi was in the upper room of the inn, and he was looking out of the window. He deliberately stopped at the noodle stall opposite the inn, ordered a bowl of noodles, and waited for Chang Tianlei and them to pass in front of him while eating.

When Chang Tianlei drove the car slowly in front of him, Chang Shi found that the window where Chang Yi was not moving at all, and knew that he must not have recognized Chang Tianlei. It also reassured him a lot. People who are so close can't recognize it, let alone those who haven't seen Chang Tianlei a few times.

After Chang Tianlei and the others walked over, Chang Shi also finished eating noodles, drove the donkey cart and slowly hung behind them, and walked towards the capital.

Chang Yi waited in the inn for a long time, his eyes were almost sour, and he didn't find Chang Tianlei's shadow, so he knew that he really didn't recognize it, so he left the inn according to the original plan and went farther away from the capital. (To be continued......)
