"Who wants to see you?" Yan Rong asked.

"General, it's a humble position." Bai Du came to Yan Rong with a small package on his back and said.

"Bai Dui, when did you come back, with Bai Feng?" Yan Rong asked in surprise.

"No, it's with Bai Feng, General, I'm so glad to see you." Bai Du said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to grow so big, I once said that your small body can afford to hold two guns, but I didn't expect that you are already a master second only to Bai Feng." Yan Rong said.

"Thanks to the cultivation of the general and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Bai Du is really grateful to the general for being able to have it now." Bai Du said.

"It's all your effort, by the way, what's going on with the two guns?" Yan Rong asked.

"Do you want the generals to fight together?" The two of you directly ignored Nangong Li with a word, and Nangong Li immediately came out to stop him when he heard that the two were going to compete.

"No, your general is injured now, so he can't compete." Nangong Li said.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with your waist, why have you been holding on?" Bai Du asked.

"It's okay, you kid don't stay anywhere else, why did you run back to the capital." Nangong Li said with some embarrassment.

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who said that the general would return to Beijing, so I came, and I came to protect the general." Bai Du said.

"What nonsense, General Ben still needs someone to protect him? What is the purpose of your visit today, not just to catch up with General Ben? Yan Rong asked.

"Bai Twilight is not joking, Bai Twilight is here to protect the general." Bai Du said with a serious face.

"Your master is the crown prince and Nangong Yu, what is it to protect me?" Yan Rong asked amusedly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Bai Du belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the general, and this time His Royal Highness the Prince specially sent me, whether the general agrees or not, Bai Du is here to decide, His Royal Highness the Prince also said, if the general does not agree, I will tell you a word." Bai Du said.

"What?" Yan Rong asked.

"He said he remembered the promise he made back then?" Bai Du said.

Yan Rong must have thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you just live in the mansion, I don't need protection, you just need to protect the prince, and the people in the mansion, then this period will be hard for you." ”

"It's good that the general is willing to stay with Bai Dui, Bai Du hasn't seen the general for many years, and he misses it very much." Bai Du said with a smile again.

"You and Bai Feng are really different people, you are so active, he is so quiet, the two of you still have such a tacit understanding, it's really amazing." Yan Rong said.

"The same is true for the general and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, weren't they also moving and still back then." Bai Du said.

"Bai Dui, the housekeeper will take you to the place where you live, I have some things to do now, you can rest first." Yan Rong didn't want to talk too much about the past, so he hurriedly asked Bai Du to go to the room.

"What, don't talk about the past anymore?" Nangong Li asked sourly.

"No, it's nothing, didn't you say you were going to follow, don't you want to leave?" Yan Rong saw that Bai Du had already left, and pulled Nangong Li away.

East Palace

"Xiaorong, you seem to be in much better spirits." Nangong Yu said with a smile.

"Big brother, I'm still taking care of it." Nangong Li suddenly entered the hall and said.

"Xiao Li is here too?" Nangong Yu didn't expect that he would take Nangong Li with him wherever he went now, and he was very surprised.

"Listen to the big brother, do you mean you don't want me to come?" Nangong Li asked.

"Why, it's just that you never came before, why are you worried about Xiaorong's body, and you have to take care of it yourself?" Nangong Yu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ah Rong's body is not well yet, and it was really hard last night, so I don't feel at ease." Nangong Li said with a smile.

"Ahem, that, let's discuss Chen Guanzhi's matter." Yan Rong interjected embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, by the way, have you seen Bai Dusk?" Nangong Yu asked with a somewhat ugly face.

"See, in fact, you don't have to be like this, it's important for Bai Feng to follow you, now you give it to me, in case something happens in the future, can Bai Feng be alone?" Yan Rong said.

"Don't be afraid, Bai Feng has brought a lot of newcomers in the past few years, Bai Du followed you, I was relieved, it was because I didn't arrange a good person this time, it will be you who are seriously injured, so let Bai Du follow you." Nangong Yu said.

"Nangong, we have to go to the study to discuss important matters, this process may be a bit long, do you want to go and rest first?" Yan Rong turned to Nangong Li and said.

"That's it, I'll go find Fuxiu to play chess, you go and discuss." Nangong Li fiddled with the flowers and plants boredly and said.

"Okay." Yan Rong smiled, and the two went to the study.

prison

"Chen Guanzhi." Yan Rong's voice sounded.

"General Yan?" Chen Guanzhi raised his head and said.

"I didn't expect that I could still stand in front of you!" Yan Rong said.

"General, I ......" Chen Guanzhi did not speak, but lowered his head.

"Why did you sell it?" Yan Rong continued to ask.

"General, you didn't tell the truth, it was clear that the eldest prince had asked the emperor for an invitation, but you didn't tell me, that's why I said it." Chen Guanzhi said.

"I didn't tell you, but because Rong Zhi failed to save your family, the emperor made up his mind, so he didn't tell you." Yan Rong said.

"General, can you save my son, I'm really a wreck now, I don't know what happened to you, but what I can be sure of is that my son hasn't been rescued yet, and your information has been destroyed, so, are you ready to give up?" Chen Guanzhi said tremblingly.

"Master Chen, I can only say that I will do my best to promise you, as for the news or something, I don't care, and what does Xia Shangshu have to do with you?" Yan Rong asked.

"I said, it really doesn't matter, we are just the same door, we have not been in touch for many years, general, you are good friends with Xia Shangshu's family, and you will be towards him in the future, so in this matter, he has nothing to do with it." Chen Guanzhi hurriedly said.

"I didn't say what this incident had to do with Uncle Xia, I just wanted to know what happened to you before." Yan Rong said.

"The general has seen those books in the Ten Mile Temple!" Chen Guanzhi smiled and said.

"Yes, those books are marked with a name - Xia Linfeng." Yan Rong said.

"That's right, that's my brother's book, but those are already the books that my brother personally gave me, my family was poor back then, but I met my brother when I went to Beijing to study, he gave money in front of the house, and I reached out because I hadn't eaten enough for many days."

Who knew that a little guy next to him said that I didn't look like a person without silver and wouldn't let it be given to me, but the senior brother shook his head at the guy and gave me the biggest piece in it directly. I was very grateful in my heart, but I didn't know how to buy food with the silver, and I kept staring blankly at the door of the Xia Mansion. ”

"Later, the door of the house opened, it was the senior brother, he walked out, he looked into my eyes and asked me if I was a scholar, would I like to study with him, I nodded, he took my hand into the mansion, I felt the warmth of home for the first time, everyone in the Xia Mansion is very good, they don't bully others, they are kind and charitable, therefore, I worshiped the master with the senior brother."

"Master used to be a knowledgeable person found by Master Xia, but he had a very strange temper, and the only apprentices he chose in the end were me and my brother, from that day on, we studied together, inseparable, and later, we all became officials, he relied on himself and his ancestral industry to make a book, and I was also step by step, so we gradually drifted apart, and there was no contact anymore."

"I can't imagine that you and Uncle Xia have such a thing." Yan Rong said after listening.

"Yes, who would have thought that how could I, a child from a poor family, receive the same gentleman as the young master of the Xia family, all by relying on my senior brother." Chen Guanzhi laughed at himself and said.

"Xiaorong, how's it going?" Nangong Yu walked over and asked.

"It's okay, I just listened to Master Chen talk about some old things here, should we leave?" Yan Rong asked.

"No, it's just that it's not too early to come out, and Xiao Li should be in a hurry later." Nangong Yu said.

"Okay, let's go then."

"General, that ....." Chen Guanzhi fell to his knees.

"Master Chen, I said that I would not break my word, and I will do my best to help you." Yan Rong said.

"Lord Chen, you have to take a bit of an inch, obviously we didn't get anything, and you hurt your face, but you still want to save your son's life, do you know that in the heart of the father, he will not let go of a criminal family, plus, what the people behind you do is really despicable." Nangong Yu said.

"General, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are still young, I don't know the mood of being a father, even if I cut it myself, I will admit it, but my son is still young, if he dies, the emperor wants us to cut off the queen." Chen Guanzhi said.

"Then you have to tell me everything you know, your family is doing well now, but it is difficult to rescue them all, so I can probably only rescue your son." Yan Rong said.

"General Xie, General Xie." Yan Rong left the prison, which was a dark and damp place where there was no light, but no one who entered thought of escaping, because they knew that escaping was more painful than dying.

East Palace

"Coming back? I'm done with a few more games. Nangong Li said without raising his eyes.

"It's not going to prison, it's delaying some time, it's okay, let's go." Yan Rong stepped forward and said.

"Go to prison, that place is very dark, you are still injured, how can you go there, have you added a cloak or something, it is so dark there, it must be very cold." Nangong Li asked a lot of questions.

'Nangong, it doesn't matter where it is, and I'm used to it, don't worry. Yan Rong heard that his ears were about to become calloused again, and hurriedly coaxed.
