Chapter 83: Welcoming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Back to the City
Being looked at by Gu Hengzhou like this, Shen Bai's heart jumped uncontrollably.
The hand on her waist was so tight, the distance between the two was so close, so close that the frequency of their hearts beating was agreed, as if the next moment this man named Gu Hengzhou would kiss him regardless of it.
The imaginary kiss did not fall, Gu Hengzhou's calloused hand pressed against her lips, and the rough fingertips kept grinding on her lips, and the lip flaps immediately became hot.
Gu Hengzhou's appearance made Shen Bai a little scared, and he hurriedly spoke: "Gu ...... Brother Gu, I didn't mean to take advantage of you just now, I was just afraid that you would be sad because of those things, and I wanted to comfort you. ”
Shen Bai stiffened and didn't dare to move, which was completely different from the way he had just pulled him to kiss him.
Gu Hengzhou made a move in his hand, and he didn't expect Shen Bai to say such a reason at all.
She was afraid that he would be upset.
His father is the prince of Zhenguo, he has a prominent family background, has outstanding talent and intelligence, everyone thinks that he is a person favored by God, and thinks that he will not have any negative emotions, only she will let him not be reckless when his eyes can't see, and find a way to make him not sad at this time.
How can this person be so different from other people?
After a long time, Gu Hengzhou let go of Shen Bai, retreated with a calm face, and warned in a cold voice: "Forget it this time, there will be a next time, and I will not be spared!" ”
His lips were still hot, and Shen Bai agreed again and again: "Okay, okay, I've written it down, and you can remember what I told you just now." ”
It's just not taken seriously.
Gu Hengzhou was about to say something more, when someone hurriedly ran over, gasping and said, "There is a white-haired man outside the school captain's camp, claiming to be the high priest of Donghengguo, who wants to see you." ”
Hanchen?
Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, walked to the gate of the camp with Gu Hengzhou, and saw Hanchen standing there in an ink-colored costume and a mask from a distance.
The embroidered patterns on his body glow a faint red glow at night, which is not visible at all in the daytime, but his silver hair is even more eye-catching.
Shen Bai looked behind him, not to mention people, he couldn't even see a ghost, and couldn't help but be curious: "High Priest, you don't stay at the post station, what are you doing here?" ”
Hanchen's gaze swept lightly over Shen Bai's lips, Shen Bai had just done something bad, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped it twice, and his lips were wiped even redder.
Hanchen looked at it twice more before looking away at Gu Hengzhou: "There is someone who said that Muzhou City is not safe, let me go to a safe place, and I will come here." ”
Shen Bai was full of interest and asked curiously, "Are you counting us here?" ”
Hanchen didn't answer, Gu Hengzhou asked, "Who told you that Muzhou City is not safe?" ”
Hanchen said: "I don't know, but it seems that they should plan to go out of the city and enter the Dongheng Kingdom from the Nanheng Plank Road." ”
Go to Donghengguo, is it Yue Zhong Boots?
Shen Bai remembered that no one seemed to burn the Nanheng Plank Road in the sacrifice in the Dusk Worship City, could it be that the people in the capital in the previous life also wanted to destroy the mouths of these people in Muzhou City at this time, so these people burned the Nanheng Plank Road?
Yue Zhong Boots was able to be recommended by the Hengwu Commander in his last life, and his brain must be much more flexible than Yue Jingshan, Meng Lun is dead, and he died so miserably, Yue Zhong Boots may guess that the matter has been revealed.
Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che are still hiding in the dark and have not shown up, once the matter is revealed, the people in the capital will definitely not leave them alive, staying in Zhaoling is a dead end, and going to Donghengguo from Nanheng Plank Road is the only way to live.
Shen Bai's mind was running rapidly, and Gu Hengzhou also reacted, and immediately gathered hundreds of people from the captain's camp to chase out of the city with bows and crossbows.
At this time, there was no need to hide their identities anymore, Shen Bai and Hanchen followed Zhao Che to the Captain's Mansion together.
The white flags of the school captain's mansion swayed gently with the wind, the soldiers and horses of the state capital had long been controlled by the hundred elites of the post station, and the three of them walked into the front hall unimpeded, Yue Jingshan sat trembling and slumped on the ground, an arrow was shot in his arm, he had just escaped death, his face was pale, and he couldn't come back to his senses, and when he saw Zhao Che, he cried out: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen pleaded guilty, begging His Highness to spare Weichen's life!" ”
He was in a hurry like this, Zhou Jue smacked him, walked up to Zhao Che and saluted: "When it was almost dawn, an assassin wanted his dog's life, but he didn't succeed, but the assassin didn't catch it alive, and they all committed suicide by taking poison." ”
The fact that they commit suicide by poisoning shows that these assassins are specially trained dead soldiers, and even if they are caught, they will probably not be able to pry any useful clues from their mouths.
Zhao Che looked at Yue Jingshan coldly: "This palace only asks you one question, who wanted the women who were selected five years ago in the capital?" ”
Yue Jingshan was dripping with cold sweat, and shook his head vigorously with a white face: "Xia Guan doesn't know, Xia Guan really doesn't know, these things are all done by Meng Heling and Yue Zhong Boots, Xia Guan is a waste!" ”
At this time, in order to survive, Yue Jingshan could only readily admit that he was a waste.
Zhao Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had murderous thoughts, Shen Bai saw the stitches and asked him: "The commander of Hengwu is Meng Heling's father-in-law, in the past five years, have the Cao family and Young Master Meng ever returned to Beijing to visit their relatives?" ”
Other nobles can check slowly, but the commander of Hengwu is destined to be killed by this son-in-law.
Yue Jingshan nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, there are some, the Cao family often takes Meng Lun back to Beijing to visit relatives, and he lives for half a year." ”
Shen Bai nodded, didn't comment or ask anything else, just made his own little calculations in his heart.
In the previous life, the commander of Hengwu relied on himself to be a veteran of the two dynasties, and after recommending Yue Zhong's boots, he always favored him, and also slandered Gu Hengzhou, the situation in this life is different, of course, when he returns to Beijing, he must first take this old thing to sacrifice the knife.
When Cao heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived at the Captain's Mansion, he cried and shouted to find Zhao Che to avenge his grievances, but was directly stunned by the dead soldiers brought by Zhao Che.
Gu Hengzhou came back soon, Yue Zhong Boots really wanted to enter Dongheng Country from the Nanheng Plank Road, and then burned the Nanheng Plank Road, after being stopped by Gu Hengzhou, he broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and wanted to fight with Gu Hengzhou to break the net, and finally was killed under the horse, and his head was in a different place.
Yue Jingshan was directly frightened and incontinent when he heard the news, and the smell of fishy urine made everyone present frown.
Yue Zhong's boots are dead, Yue Jingshan is also useless, and it will take a long time to deal with the follow-up matters, Zhao Che asked Zhou Jue to stay here to clean up the mess first, and left fifty elites for him, and then let Zhou Jue return to Beijing when the new state capital of the DPRK and China takes office.
Zhou Jue has also obtained fame, and leaving him here alone can be regarded as an experience, and when he returns to Beijing, he can arrange a position for him to become an official in the court.
After making arrangements, in the evening of the same day, the group left Muzhou in a low-key manner and went straight to Hanjing.
On the way, Zhou Deshan rushed to Muzhou with soldiers and horses, Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou only said a few words to him and left.
Three days later, the group arrived in Chenzhou.
The new governor and lieutenant of Chenzhou have been replaced, and the new governor was promoted from Zhangxian County, and the new lieutenant surprised Shen Bai a little, it turned out to be Luo Hui recommended by Li Wei from the Hanjing lieutenant battalion.
Emperor Hengde didn't give Luo Hui too many manpower, there were only Ah Chai and the blind monkey around him, and the three of them had only been in Chenzhou for half a month, and it seemed that they had completely shocked those people in the Chenzhou lieutenant camp.
Zhao Che ordered everyone to rest in Chenzhou for a day before entering Beijing.
The new state government wanted to set up a banquet to entertain him, but Zhao Che directly refused and lived in the post station in a low-key manner.
Finally arrived in Chenzhou, Shen Bai relaxed, and after lunch, he sneaked to the teahouse to find Achai and the blind monkey.
The blind monkey remembered that Shen Bai had saved Zhou Deshan's life before, and generously asked for a roast duck and a jar of aged daughter Hong.
"This is made by the best chef in Chenzhou, Young Master Shen try it." The blind monkey greeted, now looking at Shen Bai is closer than looking at Ah Chai, stroked his goat's beard and asked with concern: "Young Master Shen has lost so much weight, he must have suffered a lot along the way, right?" ”
Shen Bai unceremoniously tore a duck leg and gnawed on it, and when he heard the blind monkey ask, he immediately nodded: "But no, I have to serve the two masters alone this way, and I almost didn't die of exhaustion, Brother Gu is not like to know what it is like in the lieutenant camp, I always love to keep a cold face and don't say anything, and I don't have a lot of words, I can't beat a fart with a stick, and no one responds to my words." ”
With good wine and good food in front, Shen Bai couldn't help but get a little carried away, and sat down with one foot on the bench.
Ah Chai was originally sitting next to her, but at some point, he was sitting farther and farther away, Shen Bai still wanted to catch up with him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Brother Ah Chai, what is he doing so far away from me?" Isn't it that if you become the supervisor of the Chenzhou Captain's Battalion, you will be separated from me? ”
Shen Bai said that he was about to grab Ah Chai's shoulder, his claws were stretched halfway, and he was hit hard, and when he turned around, Gu Hengzhou didn't know when he stood behind her, his face was cold, and he probably listened to what she had just said.
Shen Bai: "......"
Brother Gu is standing behind the master, and you don't give the master a wake-up call?
Shen Bai slandered, swallowed the roast duck in his mouth, and smiled flatteringly at Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, why are you here, don't you have to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
She ate her mouth full of greasy, her whole mouth was oily, Gu Hengzhou frowned, and said coldly: "Wipe your mouth clean before you speak!" ”
Shen Bai obediently wiped his mouth clean, moved to the side, gave up an empty place for Gu Hengzhou, and smiled shyly: "Brother Gu, sit here?" ”
Gu Hengzhou was still hesitating, Shen Bai directly pulled him to sit next to him, took the uneaten duck leg in his mouth, pulled the other one and handed it to Gu Hengzhou, and said vaguely: "Brother Gu, eat." ”
Her hands were also full of oil, Gu Hengzhou's sleeve was caught by her with a dazzling oil paw print, Ah Chai and the blind monkey couldn't help but gasp, although Gu Supervisor had no shelf and was willing to eat and live with the soldiers of the whole battalion, but he didn't like to be touched by others in his daily life, let alone this kind of food that was directly torn off by his hands.
Afraid that Gu Hengzhou would lose face if he rejected Shen Bai, the blind monkey spoke first to play a round game: "Young Master Shen, the superintendent doesn't like to eat ducks, don't ...... it"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Hengzhou reached out and took the duck leg and took a bite of face.
Ah Chai and the blind monkey's eyes widened slightly, and Shen Bai tore off a large piece of meat from his duck leg, looking curious: "Who said that Brother Gu doesn't like to eat ducks?" He's always loved to eat. ”
Shen Bai gnawed the duck leg clean in three or two times, and tore other parts of the meat to eat, seeing that Ah Chai and the blind monkey had been stunned, he took the initiative to open the topic: "How is the situation in the lieutenant camp of Chenzhou, no one is making trouble to embarrass you, right?" ”
Although Gu Hengzhou looked cold, he was really good to the people in the captain's camp, and the blind monkey didn't want Gu Hengzhou to worry, so he nodded with a smile: "This is the new captain appointed by His Majesty personally, who dares not to obey the order?" And Luo Hui's skills are there, no one can beat him, so naturally he doesn't dare to touch his brows. ”
Luo Hui is indeed very capable of fighting, but the governance in the army is not as simple as a few words, before the Chen Zhou lieutenant battalion may not be able to tell what the chaos will become, now it is not easy to make so many people obedient.
Tired of eating, Shen Bai poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it, and said to the blind monkey: "You have always followed the Zhenguo Gong to the battlefield and seen the bloody rain, although the idea of the Guogong in this life has always been that you can't bully others, but when necessary, you should borrow the situation, we are not doing bad things, it is for the good of Your Majesty and the people of Zhaoling, do you say this is the reason?" ”
They are the bottom of the camp of the captain of Hanjing, and they are the personal soldiers who were born and died with the Duke of Zhenguo, and even the sons of the Duke of Zhenguo were raised by them, and there is no reason why the dwarves will be deflated everywhere when they go to Chenzhou.
The blind monkey pondered Shen Bai's words carefully, Shen Bai picked up the bowl next to him, poured a bowl of wine for the blind monkey and Ah Chai, and then picked up his bowl and touched it with the two of them: "If the banner of Zhenguo Gong doesn't work, you will say that Shen Bai, the eldest young master of the Taifu Mansion, is your iron buddy, but if there is anything, as long as you bring a letter to Hanshangjing, the master will immediately bring a group of people to support you!" ”
Shen Bai said arrogantly, and wanted to stand up after speaking, but he was pressed by Gu Hengzhou's shoulders and couldn't move, and he turned his head in confusion, only to see this person's cold side face, and coldly ordered: "Be disciplined." ”
"Oh." Shen Bai answered, and then said to the blind monkey and Ah Chai, "Isn't it buddy?" Still not drinking? ”
Young Master Shen said so, how could the two of them not treat him as a buddy?
The two picked up the bowl and touched it with Shen Bai and drank it together.
After two bowls of belly, Shen Bai's face was as usual, but he directly opened the chatterbox, hurriedly filled the wine of the three of them, and called the blind monkey and Ah Chai brothers, talking about the thrilling experience along the way.
Knowing that outside, she still called Zhao Che a young master, and the matter was only roughly explained, without a detailed process, when it came to Gu Hengzhou's battle with others, she would directly become a storyteller, and pile up all the gorgeous rhetoric she could think of on Gu Hengzhou.
The drinking power of the blind monkey and Ah Chai is far better than her, and after drinking a jar, Shen Bai fell asleep on the table, but the blind monkey and Ah Chai still did not change their faces.
Shen Bai slept and snored quietly, feeling uncomfortable lying on the table, moving restlessly, Gu Hengzhou couldn't stand it, and directly grabbed her collar and pressed the person to his lap.
This posture Shen Bai was very familiar with, so he found the most comfortable position to lie down, and finally stood still.
The blind monkey kept watching, and the still intact eye couldn't help but bend, and said with a warm smile: "Young Master Shen's temperament is quite interesting. ”
Gu Hengzhou hummed lightly, and did not take the initiative to start the topic, and the table that was still lively just now suddenly became deserted.
The blind monkey sighed and said to Gu Hengzhou, "Your Highness should have gained a lot from this experience." ”
Gu Hengzhou said, "Hmm." ”
It's just a single syllable, and I don't know how arrogant he is, and I don't care to talk to blind monkeys.
Thinking of Shen Bai saying at the beginning that Gu Hengzhou couldn't beat a fart with a stick, the blind monkey hooked his lips and smiled, remembered the old things many years ago, sighed and said: "When I was young, I also went to Donghengguo once with Guogong, where the folk customs are much more open than Zhaoling, and young girls can walk around the street at will in beautiful dresses, which is a very good country." ”
Like a reincarnation, before Zhenguo Gong guarded the border pass, he also escorted Huili to Dongheng, and many years later, his only son also walked on the road he had walked.
At the age of the blind monkey, no matter how long the memories are, they are very vivid, and he can still see the girls walking on the streets through those memories.
Young and energetic, a very sweet bunch.
The blind monkey's eyes were filled with yearning, and at that time he had thought about staying in Dongheng Kingdom.
Zhen Guogong also told Gu Hengzhou about these things, but they didn't know that the oasis they described had long since turned into a desert, and many of those lively and agile girls were unfortunately selected as sacrifices in the long river of time.
Gu Hengzhou's eyes were surging with dark and inexplicable emotions, and the blind monkey could see it clearly, and said with emotion: "After the Guogong walked this way, the expression of returning to Beijing is exactly the same as that of His Royal Highness now. ”
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the phenomenon of corrupt officials has not been cut off for many years.
Hearing the deep meaning behind the blind monkey's words, Gu Hengzhou whispered: "After returning to Beijing, I will ask Your Majesty for a decree and go to Muzhou to be a lieutenant." ”
Ah Chai was still young, and when he heard this, he immediately became calm, and asked nervously: "Why did Your Highness go to Muzhou?" Muzhou is so remote and ......"
The blind monkey raised his hand to stop Ah Chai, looked at Gu Hengzhou with satisfaction and said: "Although this journey is only two months, His Highness's mind is much more mature than before, Lord Guogong will be very happy when he comes back, no matter what decision His Highness makes, he will definitely support His Highness." ”
The soldiers of the Zhenge camp are different existences to Gu Hengzhou, and when they heard the blind monkey say this, Gu Hengzhou's brows relaxed slightly.
His mother died early and his father was absent for many years, but he subconsciously hoped that what he was going to do could be recognized and supported by the people he cared about.
"Your Highness's trip has not only become mature, but also has a human touch." The blind monkey said and looked at Shen Bai who was lying on Gu Hengzhou's lap, "This should be all the credit of Young Master Shen." ”
Gu Hengzhou didn't think about it, and directly denied it: "It has nothing to do with her!" ”
The rumors in Hanshang Jingli that Shen Bai, the only son of Taifu, liked men, more or less spread to the captain's camp, Gu Hengzhou denied it so simply, but he seemed a little confused, the blind monkey glanced at Shen Bai again, and said seriously: "No matter whose credit it is, it is always good that His Highness can have such a change." ”
Gu Hengzhou was stunned.
Is this change good?
If you go to the battlefield, you will become the most fatal weakness, and if you are not careful, you will die in the hands of the enemy......
After all, the blind monkey has been a personal soldier of Zhenguo Gong for more than ten years, and he could see Gu Hengzhou's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but lightly knocked on the table: "Your Highness, you are too young and old, obviously you are only eighteen years old, don't live a dull life than me, a bad old man, it is better to be as vigorous as Young Master Shen." ”
Ah Chai is not as transparent as the blind monkey, and muttered eagerly: "But Young Master Shen is sick." ”
The blind monkey gave Ah Chai a violent shudder: "Rabbit cub, who do you say is sick and wants to die, right?" ”
Ah Chai covered his head and didn't dare to talk nonsense, Gu Hengzhou didn't continue the topic, looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "I will stay in Hanjing for more than half a year, if there is something in Chenzhou, come to Hanjing at any time to find me, if the situation is urgent, you can also send a letter to the captain's camp." ”
This is a clear way to support them.
The blind monkey laughed out loud: "Luo Hui's kid has made a military order in front of the emperor, Your Highness can rest assured, this group of little cubs in Chenzhou will definitely be cleaned up by us." ”
Gu Hengzhou was still very confident in Luo Hui's strength, so he didn't say more, and when he saw that it was not early outside, he picked up Shen Bai.
Seeing that they were leaving, the blind monkey and Ah Chai immediately got up, clasped their fists and saluted Gu Hengzhou, and said in unison: "Let's go goodbye, may Your Highness have a bright future, a young man who is satisfied, and who will have military merits and fame as soon as possible!" ”
The two of them were full of anger, Gu Hengzhou bowed his head and hugged Shen Bai back to the post station.
When he returned to the post station, the sun was already slanting, and he ran into Hanchen as soon as he entered the gate of the post station, he had just come back after a circle in Chenzhou City, smelled the smell of wine on Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai and asked, "Have you drunk?" ”
Shen Bai was drunk and unconscious, his head was soft and leaning back, his cheeks were full of redness, as bright as peach blossoms, his lips were slightly open, and he was puffing out like a goldfish.
Gu Hengzhou suddenly minded Hanchen's gaze on Shen Bai's face, and pressed Shen Bai's head into his arms with one free hand, and did not answer Hanchen's words, and directly carried Shen Bai upstairs and went back to the room.
Hanchen looked at Gu Hengzhou's back, and doubts flashed in his heart: This prince of Zhenguo is also destined to die young, how can there be a marriage after death?
As soon as she touched the bed, Shen Bai immediately wanted to roll into the quilt, but Gu Hengzhou pressed her shoulders to prevent her from moving, and helped her take off her shoes.
Before, she tried horse racing with Duda, her ankle was injured, Gu Hengzhou helped her take medicine once, and then he didn't have time to ask her again, and then he took off his shoes and found that she had a small hideous scar on her ankle, which should have been on the road for the past few days without taking medicine properly, and the middle wound was infected and inflamed, and the scab fell off after ulceration.
Gu Hengzhou's eyes froze, and his fingertips gently rubbed twice on the scar.
Although the scar looks hideous, the skin is smooth and flat.
I don't know if I feel itchy or painful, Shen Bai shrunk his feet, snorted and went straight to the bed.
Gu Hengzhou's eyes were dark, and dark emotions like dark clouds surged for a while, and he knelt down on one knee and leaned over to kiss the scar.
One touch away.
Gu Hengzhou stuffed Shen Bai's feet into the quilt and walked out of the room with a calm face.
The bloody remnant sun soon fell into the clouds, and when night fell, everyone rested at the post station for the night, and set off to Hanjing in good spirits early the next morning.
After a day and night, the group walked through the mist and quiet morning light to the gate of Hanshang Beijing.
Someone had already entered Beijing first, the city gate was wide open, and no people were moving around, Shen Ruxiu was wearing an ink-colored embroidered green feather court dress and Wu Zhongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rode a horse to greet him at the city gate.
Zhao Che and Han Chen walked in the front, Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou walked side by side in the back, and then the fifty elites followed.
A group of five people, divided into ten columns, all rode the sweaty and bloody BMW given by the monarch of Dongheng and followed neatly behind.
Shen Ruxiu's rank was a little higher than Wu Zhongyi's, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Weichen welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the High Priest of Donghengguo into the city!" ”
After the words fell, the two turned their horses and walked forward, and the officials who were in charge of greeting them all stood separately on both sides of the street, and everyone followed into the city.
There was a wide main road from the city gate to the palace, and the night watchmen sealed the main road to prevent others from entering or leaving, and they soon reached the palace.
The Xuanwu Gate had already been opened, twenty Praetorian Guards wearing black armor and silver knee pads and wristbands were guarding the door with long halberds, everyone dismounted, the commander of the Praetorian Guard held high the halberd, and the twenty Praetorian Guards shouted in unison: "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the High Priest of Dongheng Kingdom into the city!" ”
The voice is majestic and loud, with an unstoppable momentum, and he shouts to welcome, but it is more like a threat to show the national strength in disguise.
At the third palace gate, fifty elites went to the commander of the Praetorian Guard to report on their own, and Shen Ruxiu and Wu Zhongyi took Shen Bai and them directly to the imperial study.
Emperor Hengde had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, and the imperial lieutenant Jiang De'an was also there, and as soon as a few people arrived outside the imperial study, the eunuch of the Sidian shouted in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" The High Priest of the East Hengguo has arrived! The prince of Zhenguo has arrived! ”
Before Shen Bai officially entered the office, the eunuch of the palace did not report her name.
The door of the imperial study opened from the inside, and the group entered, Shen Ruxiu and Wu Zhongyi knelt down first, and shouted in unison: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers and others have successfully brought back His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the High Priest of Dongheng Kingdom!" ”
Emperor Hengde immediately said: "The two Aiqing, please get up, it's hard to love Qing." ”
The two got up and retreated to the side to stand up, and Zhao Che, Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai stepped forward to bow down.
"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"
"Wechen meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
"Shen Bai greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Zhao Che, as the crown prince, has never left the sight of Emperor Hengde for so long, although he has been sending messages back to Hanjing from the dead in the past two months, Emperor Hengde still can't sleep well, and finally saw Zhao Che who is safe and sound, Emperor Hengde's expression can't hide his excitement, because Hanchen, an outsider, is not in a hurry, and only slapped Zhao Che up and down in the face with his eyes.
This journey has been full of ups and downs, Zhao Che has lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, and his youthfulness has become more and more dull, replaced by the emperor's cold and calm.
These changes fell in the eyes of Emperor Hengde, Emperor Hengde was happy and sad, if Empress Shuxian was still alive, it would be good to see this child grow into this appearance.
Emperor Hengde nodded again and again, and after making sure that Zhao Che was fine, he took the time to look at Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai.
The aura around Gu Hengzhou also became a little more cold and steady, but Shen Bai didn't change at all, and he still looked like a hanger.
Emperor Hengde was happy in his heart, and said with relief: "It's good to come back safely, you go back to rest for a while, and when you are rested, then hold a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, get up quickly." ”
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three of them got up and retreated to the side at the same time, Hanchen stepped forward, did not kneel, only according to the rules of Donghengguo, put his right hand into a fist on his left chest, bowed and said, "Hanchen has seen Your Majesty." ”
After walking all the way for so long, Shen Bai heard Hanchen's name for the first time, and secretly raised her eyebrows, she thought that he was called the high priest, and he had no name.
Zhaoling and Dongheng have established diplomatic relations for many years, although the national strength of Zhaoling was stronger in the early days, but the two countries are basically in a state of equal exchanges, Emperor Hengde knew that Hanchen's status in Dongheng was similar to that of the monarch, and he did not forcibly ask Hanchen to kneel and bow to the countryside, and said to Hanchen kindly: "I have received a congratulatory letter from the monarch of Dongheng, I heard that the high priest is the first time to leave Donghengguo, these days can be a good time to play in Hanshangjing, understand the customs of our Zhaoling." ”
Emperor Hengde said and swept around the people present, his eyes finally fell on Shen Bai, raised his hand and pointed at Shen Bai and said: "This is Shen Bai, the only son of my imperial master, the high priest has been in Hanjing for these days, I arranged for him to be your guide, how about it?" ”
Hanchen bowed his head and said lightly: "Okay! ”
Dong Hengguo sent a hundred sweat and blood horses over, Emperor Hengde was in a very good mood, let the palace people take Hanchen to rest first, this time he had a fifty birthday, Nanxiang and Yuexi will send envoys to congratulate the birthday, the palace specially cleaned a number of palaces for these envoys to live.
After Hanchen left, Emperor Hengde first briefly cared about Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou, and then gave the two of them a lot of rewards, knowing that Gu Hengzhou's eyes had been injured and even blind for a while, Emperor Hengde gave some good medicine, and asked the imperial doctor to treat Gu Hengzhou for a while.
Today's time was too rushed, Gu Hengzhou did not mention the matter of going to Muzhou to be a lieutenant, and thanked Shen Bai for the reward.
Emperor Hengde left Zhao Che to talk alone, and let the others leave first.
Jiang Dean didn't say anything from beginning to end, and when he left the imperial study, he walked in the front alone, and he didn't talk to others, as if he was very reserved and noble.
Shen Bai couldn't hold back his words, and just wanted to lean over and pull Gu Hengzhou's sleeve to speak, Shen Ruxiu said coldly: "What do you want to do?" ”
Shen Ruxiu's voice was not small, and he suddenly roared like this, which startled Shen Bai, subconsciously retracted his hand, and then rolled his eyes: "I just want to talk to Brother Gu, Dad, you want to scare me to death in a panic." ”
Lao Tzu was going to be scared to death when he heard the news that you and that kid from the Gu family fell into the river together!
Shen Ruxiu's face was gloomy, he grabbed Shen Bai's hand and dragged him to his side, and said in a low voice: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go home!" ”
Shen Bai remembered that he had instigated Zhao Che to go out on patrol before, and he didn't say hello to her father, this was two months, her father was holding back the fire at home, and he was afraid that he would explode soon, his eyelids jumped, and he turned his head to Gu Hengzhou for help: "Brother Gu, you help me say something, otherwise my father will kill me when I go back." ”
Gu Hengzhou didn't say a word, sped up his steps, and quickly left a few people behind.
Shen Bai: "......"
Brother Gu, didn't you say that you were not to blame for that kiss in the past, what are you doing awkwardly?
Shen Bai was dragged to the carriage by Shen Ruxiu, all the way Shen Ruxiu had a black face and held back the fire in his belly without attacking, and finally arrived at the Taifu Mansion, Shen Ruxiu got off the car first, and was about to let Shen Bai get off the car to be baptized, when he unexpectedly saw two delicate girls standing at the door.
The corners of Shen Ruxiu's eyes twitched, Shen Bai got out of the carriage, and Lu Jian and Cha Bai immediately greeted them happily, but they were not reckless, and saluted the two of them in a proper manner: "Master, young master, you are back!" ”
Shen Ruxiu felt that the blood pressure all over his body was jumping up, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Green Jian smiled: "Back to the master, slave and maid Green Jian, this is my sister Chabai, we are all people collected by the young master in Muzhou, and we will serve the young master personally in the future." ”
Han Shangjing couldn't buy a maid, and even made a special trip to bring people back from Muzhou?
Shen Ruxiu's temples jumped suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Rebel, follow me to the ancestral hall!" ”
Shen Ruxiu's tone and face were very bad, Green Jian and Cha Bai smiled slightly, and looked at Shen Bai worriedly, Shen Bai smiled indifferently: "The two beauties don't have to worry, my father has nothing to do when he is old, so he likes to run to the ancestral hall and talk to those ancestors who sleep underground, you are the ones I brought back, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”
Shen Bai's tone was relaxed, Green Jian and Cha Bai were amused, and Cha Bai asked softly: "It's inconvenient for the slave to go to the ancestral hall, can the young master let someone take us to familiarize ourselves with the environment in the lower mansion first, and we can adapt as soon as possible and serve the young master." ”
"That's fine." Shen Bai said happily, followed Shen Ruxiu inside, and saw that Li Shan also got a letter to greet him at the gate, so he beckoned to him, Li Shan immediately came over, and Shen Bai instructed him, "These two are the beauties I brought back from Muzhou, and I will serve me with you in the future, you can take them to familiarize themselves with the environment first." ”
Li Shan bowed his head and left with the green tip and tea white.
Shen Bai followed Shen Ruxiu to the ancestral hall, and as soon as he entered the door, Shen Ruxiu shouted angrily: "Rebel, don't kneel down for me!" ”
Shen Bai plucked out his ears unexpectedly: "Dad, what are you doing, the ancestors are sleeping well, do you want to scare them into cheating the corpse?" ”
Shen Ruxiu glared at Shen Bai and reiterated: "I'll let you kneel!" ”
Shen Bai obediently knelt on the futon, and when he saw Shen Ruxiu turn around to get the family law, he lazily reminded: "Dad, Your Majesty just asked me to take the high priest of Donghengguo to play in Hanshang Capital in the imperial study these days, do you remember?" ”
Shen Ruxiu's eyes widened, and his beard trembled with anger: "You dare to threaten me?" ”
Shen Bai shook his head: "How dare I threaten you, I just explain the facts, if you beat me so that I can't get up, then it will be disregard for the holy will." ”
Look, this rebel has been out for two months, and when he comes back, he knows that he has oppressed people with His Majesty!
Shen Ruxiu was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke, and he took the family law to order Shen Bai: "Stretch out your hand!" ”
The Shen family is a scholarly family, and the family law is not a terrifying weapon, just a ring ruler made of agarwood, which is three fingers wide and two fingers thick, and it hurts to beat people.
Shen Bai has not been beaten again since he entered the office in his previous life, and when he suddenly saw it at this time, he was a little scared in addition to being kind, and asked with a shy face: "Dad, I'm fourteen years old, you really want to beat me." ”
Shen Ruxiu stiffened his face and didn't speak, forcibly pulled out Shen Bai's claws, and hit him hard.
Shen Bai's palm instantly turned red, and Shen Ruxiu asked coldly: "After you fell into the river with that kid from the Gu family, did he find anything?" ”
