Chapter 109: Return to Chen Kingdom
Chapter 109: Return to Chen Guo
Xiao Qi brought hot millet porridge and pushed the door in.
Chen Baichuan thought that staying in the room at this time would disturb the two-person world of their master and servant, and after telling Baishuang to rest more, he walked out of the door.
Walking in the direction of the study, I happened to meet Lao Lu who came to look for him on the road.
Chen Baichuan's first sentence was the decision he had just made: "Old Lu, I want to go back to Chen Guo." If you can arrange things today, you can leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Steward Lu was a little surprised, he thought that he would stay in the imperial capital for a few more days: "Why did you suddenly remember to go back to Chen Guo, could it be that something happened again?" ”
Stopping outside the study, Chen Baichuan shook his head and said, "Nothing happened, it's just that the muddy water in the imperial capital has become more and more turbid, and there may be some chaos behind it." Anyway, our goal has already been achieved, so it's better to go back as soon as possible. ”
Steward Lu nodded approvingly, Chen Baichuan's words were very reasonable, for example, if they were unfortunate enough to be in the fire ring on the night Huang Hao burned the imperial capital, they might lose several lives.
Of course, he also guessed in his heart that Chen Baichuan was more or less influenced by the Bai family girl.
The two walked into the study, and Chen Baichuan asked, "Lao Lu just looked for me something?" ”
"Look at my elm head," said Steward Lu, patting his head, "a pigeon flew back from Chen Guo this morning, and the pigeon had a reply from the head of the house tied to its leg. ”
Steward Lu took out a small paper roll rolled into a long strip from his arms, and after Chen Baichuan opened it, he only saw that it was written in thick and majestic handwriting:
"The situation in the imperial capital is chaotic, if there is nothing else to do, return home quickly. Note: The handwriting is sloppy, and there is nothing to practice diligently. Due to the limited space of paper, I don't say much for my brother. ”
Paper is limited, so why would you add scribbled nonsense!
However, the letter that his brother suddenly arrived coincided with what he had in mind. With Chen Baili's letter of limited space, Chen Baichuan was even more determined to return to Chen Guo as soon as possible.
Chen Baichuan immediately said to Steward Lu: "Old Lu, you go and tell the people in Chen's mansion to pack up tonight and leave immediately tomorrow." ”
"If some of them still want to stay in the imperial capital, then?" Steward Lu knew that these people in the imperial capital Chen Mansion were very stubborn, and they were rooted in the imperial capital and guarded the old mansion as if they were unwilling to leave.
"Just tell them, if you really don't want me to persuade them again." After Chen Baichuan thought about it, he said, "They have been in the imperial capital for so many years, and there must be a lot of things that are difficult to give up, so let them stay in the imperial capital for a few more days, and we will leave first." ”
Chen Baichuan suddenly remembered that Bai Qian had said that there would be ambushes on the way back, with the imperial capital Chen Mansion and the people, and no matter how much their combat strength was, dodging was a big problem.
Letting them think about staggering the route for a few more days is also a little less dangerous, and no one will attack a group of servants.
……………………
"None of them are willing to go to Chen." Steward Lu said helplessly.
In the evening, he asked those old servants about returning to Chen Guo, and they flatly refused one by one, and even scolded fiercely. Their group of people spread out in the imperial capital, and most of the younger servants in the Chen Mansion were their descendants.
After hearing his words, Chen Baichuan's face darkened, and he followed Steward Lu to the servant's residence.
At this time, they gathered together and discussed the matter of Steward Lu persuading them to return to Chen State.
"Lu Dayi doesn't want to think about it, if we all go to Chen State, who will guard the general's family business, he doesn't remember the general's kindness to enjoy the glory and wealth, I Zhang Gen won't."
Zhang Gen was obviously the group of people with strong temperaments, and just as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind them.
"Oh? You say that Lao Lu disregards kindness and goes to enjoy glory and wealth? Chen Baichuan walked slowly from behind, "Lao Lu originally protected the widow and orphan of the general in your mouth and fled to Chen Guo, but a group of young people obstructed him, and when he arrived in Chen Guo, he didn't have a good place on his body, and his clothes were dyed red. ”
"Accompanied my brother to the battlefield, he took a knife for my brother, and his intestines were almost left."
"I don't know how many matchmakers have broken through Lao Lu's house, and he never thought of marrying a daughter-in-law, just because he followed me all day long and wandered around Daheng."
……
……
"And you? Nest in the imperial capital, ignore the family of your most respected general, and tell you that your general's wife is dead. The son of your general has to take care of the affairs of the family and the country before he is an adult. Old Lou is at least bleeding and sweating, and what about you? ”
After listening to Chen Baichuan's excited words, Steward Lu's eyes were red, perhaps because Chen Baichuan's efforts over the years had been put in Chen Baichuan's eyes, maybe because he was deeply touched by Chen Baichuan's words, or maybe both.
And the group of middle-aged people and old men who were still excited just now lowered their heads one by one, and every time Chen Baichuan listed the merits of Steward Lu, a sharp knife was inserted into their hearts.
yes, what did they do?
"Young master, no, little master, I, Zhang Gen, will go to Chen Country with you!"
"I'll go too! In the future, this old bone will be buried in Chen Guo. ”
"Go!"
……
……
In fact, with their age, going to the Chen State played a very little role, Chen Baichuan just didn't want to see this group of people in the imperial capital have no place to return, and spend the rest of their lives guarding a name, which also affected their children and grandchildren.
The next thing is to be handed over to Lao Lu.
Steward Lu, who had red circles in his eyes, discussed with them about returning to Chen Guo, and Chen Baichuan turned around and left quietly, hiding his merit and fame.
