The moonlight is like water, illuminating the inside and outside of Yanjing City.

Two carriages entered the city from the east gate and went straight along Suzaku Street until they arrived at the residence of Prince Anguo, which was not far from the root of the imperial city.

The carriage stopped in front of the house, and the driver jumped out of the carriage and said to the inside:

"Uncle Chen, it's here."

The curtain of the car was opened, and Chen Laoshi, who was wearing a felt hat, poked his head out of the car, glanced at the left near, and asked with a smile:

"Old Tang, where is this?"

"I first came to the capital, I don't know the southeast and northwest, you can't sell me."

The coachman, Old Tang, took off the cloth hat on his head, laughed and scolded, and said:

"You old fritter, where can I sell you, just your old meat, you don't like to stuff your teeth on the soup pot, hurry up, get out of the car, the brothers who have made meritorious contributions in Weili are all in the palace."

"The palace?"

Chen Laoshi raised his head and looked at the towering gatehouse, where two lanterns rippled slightly in the night breeze, illuminating the size of the place in front of the door.

The calf jumped out of the car and said with a smile:

"This is the palace, huh?"

"Uncle Tang, let's settle the guard under the jurisdiction of the prince, this won't be the prince's mansion, right?"

Old Tang smiled proudly:

"So that you two know that this is our prince's mansion, except for the prince, who is willing to take out his mansion and let the brothers who enter Beijing to be rewarded live temporarily."

"Go in, the clothes and food are waiting for you."

With that, the middle door of the palace finally opened, and the old butler led several servants out with lanterns, and the servants on the left held a roster in his hand.

The old butler asked:

"Dare to ask which brother of the guard camp?"

Chen Laoshi took two steps forward, stood on the steps, and said in a polite tone:

"Back to the old man's house, our father and son are from the Qi Di Wei camp."

The old butler laughed when he heard this, grabbed Chen Laoshi's arm and walked towards the house.

"Chen Laoshi father and son, the prince has explained before, saying that let me treat your father and son well, your father and son have suffered enough, and they should be rewarded for their great achievements in the Han Kingdom."

Chen Laoshi asked in surprise:

"Does the prince remember me?"

The old butler laughed:

"It's not a drop, my old man is also curious, the prince has a lot of opportunities, and many six-grade Zhaowu captains can't remember, how can I remember your meticulous work of Dingxiang Wei Qi Di Guard Battalion, I'm also very curious."

Chen Laoshi looked stunned, you are curious, I am also curious.

Chen Xiaoniu next to him said with a smile:

"Old man, we were born in the same place, my father has been a fisherman since he was a child, the family is hard, when the prince bulldozed the north of the Qing River, my father was forced to go to the south bank of the Tuojiang River, I think it was at that time, the prince remembered my father and son."

Hearing this, the old butler turned his head and glanced at the calf, his face full of expectation.

"This is Ling Gongzi, right?"

"He speaks in a coherent manner, treats people with humility and courtesy, and is a good boy."

Chen Laoshi smiled and squinted when he heard this, parents always love to hear others praise their children, and Chen Laoshi is no exception, his wrinkled black face is full of pride.

"Hey, he knows what he knows, it's all good for our Dingxiang Wei Sect, my second dog brother, last year he won the opportunity to enter the martial arts hall special training for a month, this is a bit of a dog, nothing to do."

The old housekeeper smiled and patted Chen Laoshi's shoulder, pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said:

"This is for your father and son, the prince said, your father and son have made great achievements in the past few years, and you are allowed to live here as long as you want."

Chen Laoshi smiled and narrowed his eyes:

"Why don't you keep working the old butler, I'll wait until I finish receiving the medal, and then I'll go back."

The old butler scolded the courtyard:

"I didn't hear that our hero has arrived, what are you doing in the house, and next time, I will drive you all out of the palace."

With the old housekeeper's reprimand, the two maids ran out of the courtyard, and the two saluted the old housekeeper together.

"The slave knows that she is wrong, and asks the old housekeeper to punish her."

Chen Laoshi hurriedly made it clear:

"Don't be angry, the old man, we are not nobles, we don't need a girl to serve us, just live by ourselves."

The old butler patted Chen Laoshi's arm:

"Who was born as a golden nobleman, the prince also started as a small soldier back then, if he didn't work hard, my old man wouldn't be used to them."

"Looking at Captain Chen's face today, I will spare you this time."

The old housekeeper arranged a few more words, and then left with a smile.

Chen Laoshi's father and son, under the leadership of the two maids, entered the courtyard and soon fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was dawn, and Chen Laoshi got up from the bed.

Declined Yahuan's request to wait for freshening, Chen Laoshi washed his face casually, and stood at the gate of the courtyard to practice boxing.

Since he entered Dingxiangwei, Chen Laoshi began to practice the boxing techniques handed down, and now although he does not say that his martial arts are strong, two or three idle men can't take him.

"Yohe, isn't this an honest brother?"

The voice of the cramp sounded, and a middle-aged man in good spirits stood at the gate of Chen Laoshi's courtyard.

"Brother Ergou!"

Chen Laoshi stopped practicing boxing, walked a few steps quickly, and when he arrived in front of Ergou, he split his chest and gave Ergou a punch.

"You kid, you left quietly, and you don't know how to wait for me."

"When will it come, when will we see the prince?"

Ergou laughed twice, "Brother Honest, your grandfather came by coincidence, the day set by the prince is to meet the heroes of the guards today, you two only arrived last night, and there was a banquet with colleagues yesterday, I came back late and couldn't see you." ”

"As soon as it was dawn today, I heard the maid who served me mention it, and a father and son came together, and I thought it was you two."

"See us today."

Chen Laoshi was a little at a loss when he heard this, and slapped his robe, looking quite unnatural.

"Brother Ergou, look at my clothes, okay?"

"Are the clothes in this capital expensive, should I not buy a few?"

Ergou patted Chen Laoshi's shoulder:

"The prince doesn't care about this, I saw the prince a few days ago, and the prince told me in person that the peace of Qidi is imminent, and after receiving the reward, if we want to go back to Qidi, we can go back at any time."

"I have already told the governor that I want to go back to Qidi, where I was born and raised, I want to make it rich, so that the people will not have hunger, and the wilderness will not starve."

"Brother Honest, you and the calf, go back and help me?"

Chen honestly said to Ai Ai:

"What, can we go back?"

Ergou smiled:

"Of course, those of us who have made meritorious contributions are all authorized by the prince and His Majesty, and we can stay in the capital, if we stay, we will be given a mansion, and the ministry is also selected from the Beijing camp or several guards."

Chen Laoshi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, what kind of territory is Yanjing, the capital of the country, the richest place, it would be great to stay here.

Ergou looked at Chen Laoshi's expression and hesitated, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you say it, brother honestly, I'll go find the calf."

Chen Laoshi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart:

"Stinky boy, you can't spoil me this time."

"The Qi Kingdom is not dead yet, don't think about going back to be a big official, and the Intes haven't been driven away."

Chen honestly shouted and chased Ergou into the yard.
