At dusk, a group of hundreds of silver-armored sergeants rode their horses and rolled up the yellow dust, making passers-by make way for it.

The first person was about sixty years old, with a medium stature but a dignified appearance, especially a pair of big eyes that always showed brilliance, fit a silver armor stomach, and an extraordinary bearing. This person is Wang Zhixuan, one of the three guards in the capital, Wang Zhixuan, the general of Nanying, who personally led the escort when he heard that the Seventh Prince was attacked. Chu Zheng and Wang Zhixuan were parallel, and the two sandwiched Chu Haoyu in the middle, one left and one right.

The attack in the morning made Chu Haoyu extremely angry, and his face eased when he approached the capital. Seeing that there were more and more carriages and pedestrians on the road, Chu Haoyu finally opened his mouth and said, "The capital seems to be more lively than before. ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu's face stretched, Chu Zheng couldn't help but smile, and said: "What's the matter, I'm in the country and the people, it's strange if it's not lively." ”

When Chu Zheng's words fell, Wang Zhixuan also laughed. In the loud and heroic laughter, Wang Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "The Seventh Prince and General Chu have not been in the capital for several years, and they don't know anything about the affairs in the capital. ”

Turning his head to look at Wang Zhixuan, Chu Haoyu asked with interest: "Xingshang Order?" ”

Nodding, Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "After more than ten years of recuperation in our dynasty, as General Chu said, the country is peaceful and peaceful, two years ago, our emperor issued a decree to promote commerce, encouraging private trade and hoping to connect the Quartet with commerce. Since the promulgation of the business decree, most of the people who have a little savings have tried to do business, and only when they buy and sell can they be sold, so that the world can be lively, and the capital as the center of our dynasty is naturally even more lively. ”

Chu Haoyu wasn't very interested in the Xingshang Order, but he was surprised that it was so lively outside the city, so he opened his mouth and asked, "General Wang, why is it so lively outside the city?" I see a lot of them just small towns. ”

Looking at Chu Haoyu, Wang Zhixuan laughed again, and said, "The Seventh Prince doesn't know, two years after the promulgation of the business order, the storefronts in the capital have been rising, but no matter how expensive the rent is, it is still priceless and marketable, and many businessmen have retreated to the second place to start trading outside the city." Now, the towns near the capital, especially those near the main roads, are more lively than the remote county capitals. ”

Chu Haoyu is a child's heart after all, and he was already interested when he heard Wang Zhixuan say this, nodded and said, "Then I must have a good shopping." While speaking, Chu Haoyu glanced at Chu Zheng and asked, "Uncle Zheng, you won't still follow, right?" ”

Chu Zheng didn't answer, but asked, "What do you say?" ”

Pouting, just thinking of the several assassinations along the way, Chu Haoyu didn't say anything in the end, but looked at Wang Zhixuan and asked, "General Wang, what are the interesting places in Beijing now?" ”

Wang Zhixuan has been an official for many years, how can he not know that this master is naughty and playful, and laughed: "There are so many fun places, and I don't know where to start." ”

After a pause, Wang Zhixuan said in a deep voice: "If the Seventh Prince wants to enjoy the blessings of the mouth, Taoyuan Restaurant is the purest, Fumanlou is the most magnificent, and the pleasant residence is the most eye-catching, as well as Baiweixuan and Piaoxianglou......"

Before Wang Zhixuan's words were finished, Chu Zheng had already interrupted him and shouted: "I haven't seen you for a few years, your kid hasn't changed at all, you know how to eat, which wine is the best?" ”

Looking at Chu Zheng, Wang Zhixuan was not annoyed, but laughed loudly, and shouted at the same time: "The general is not the same as good wine?" ”

Glancing at each other, Chu Zheng and Wang Zhixuan laughed again, it was Chu Haoyu, and there was also a hint of a smile on his face.

The three guards of the capital are triangular to protect the capital in the center, each guard has three brigades under the jurisdiction of tens of thousands of horses, the southern camp is the southern barrier of the capital, guarding the waterway arteries, naturally extremely important, Wang Zhixuan can lead a guard, in addition to the emperor's trust, his own strategy is also good and very good at being a man, and Chu Zheng, the emperor's favorite tiger general, has always had a good personal relationship.

Soon, Wang Zhixuan stopped laughing and said: "The wine of Taoyuan Restaurant is good, but General Chu likes spirits, so it's better to go to the No Return Building, it is full of spirits, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." Speaking of this, Wang Zhixuan looked at Chu Haoyu with a smile and said: "Don't blame the prince, in addition to the military formation, he is very clear about the restaurants in Beijing. ”

Seeing that Wang Zhixuan, a dignified-looking general, liked to eat and drink, although Chu Haoyu was strange and not strange, he nodded but asked again: "What else is interesting?" ”

With another chuckle, Wang Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "There are many fun places, it depends on how the prince wants to play." If the prince is good at martial arts, there is a famous sword residence on Jiufeng Mountain in the east of the city, and there are many people from the rivers and lakes who go there every day, and it is about to be a martial arts test, so it will be more lively. If the prince is good at poetry, there is Taibai Pavilion by the Yishui River in the city, and scholars from all over the country who come to Beijing will definitely go. ”

When Wang Zhixuan paused, Chu Zheng interrupted him again and shouted: "I said, you old boy can't say something we don't know, what about when we enter Beijing for the first time?" ”

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed out loud, and said: "Seventh Prince, you look at the memory of lowly duties, and it is the first time for the Seventh Prince to enter Beijing, haha......"

Laughing disapprelicly, Chu Haoyu waved his hand and said, "It's okay." General Wang, you don't listen to Uncle Zheng, continue to say, I have heard of the places you mentioned at most, and I have never been to them at all. ”

This time, Wang Zhixuan didn't speak directly, and only opened his mouth after a little thought, and said: "If the prince likes to be lively, Pepsilou can hear all kinds of interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and there are also the best storytellers in it." If you listen to the play, Yanyu Pavilion is a good choice, and it is quiet, if you want to drink flower wine......"

Suddenly thinking that the Seventh Prince was not yet in the age of the weak crown, Wang Zhixuan hurriedly coughed twice, hoping to cover up the past, and was afraid that Chu Haoyu would ask again, so he continued: "If the prince wants to be quieter, you can go to the century-old pavilion, there are all kinds of tea leaves in it, new and old, I heard that there are tea cakes that are more than ten years old." ”

Hearing Wang Zhixuan mention tea, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but think of Guo Ying, who had only separated in the morning, the maid who was as indifferent as tea. Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu said slowly: "I can't taste the taste of tea, General Wang should say something else." ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu's face was not angry but he never mentioned the flower wine, Wang Zhixuan was relieved in his heart, if the saint and the queen mother knew that he instigated Chu Haoyu to drink flower wine, even if it was only a ginseng copy, it was not something he could bear, and at this moment, more soldiers came to say: "General Qiyu, Jingzhong has come to train, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jingjun have gone out of the city to welcome the Seven Princes back to the palace, and the guards have taken over Yongding Gate." ”

Waving his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, Wang Zhixuan looked at Chu Haoyu with a smile and said, "Seventh Prince......"

Looking up at the outline of Shangjing City, Chu Haoyu said slowly: "I haven't seen you for three years, I really think about it, drive." As he spoke, Chu Haoyu lightly clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately jumped out, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

Yongding Gate is nine zhang high, thirty-three zhang wide, and all are made of boulders, plus the pavilion of several zhang high on the city wall, it is really called a rare male pass in the world. At this moment, under the reflection of the setting sun, it is more majestic and domineering, and the city has undergone several dynasties, repaired many times, and the mottled wall adds a vicissitudes of life.

Seeing that Yongding Gate was getting closer and closer, Chu Haoyu didn't know why, he felt that his heart was sour, and he spit out lightly: "It's been three years, it's really fast, it's been so fast, but," In the elongated voice, Chu Haoyu's tone changed abruptly, and he shouted, "I'm back again." ”

In the shouts that resounded through Yongding Gate, Chu Haoyu rode his horse and galloped wildly, and at the same time, two figures jumped out from Yongding Gate. The sound of hurried horses' hooves is like the expectation of several people's hearts.

As the three approached, they did not speak, and at the same time Lerma stopped, and then looked at each other silently. The wordless gaze contains too much, too much, after all, in the past three years, the three of them have experienced too much.

In the silence, the three of them suddenly burst into laughter. The cheerful laughter evokes the long-dormant thoughts and the innocence that they have been silent for a long time.

In the midst of laughter, Chu Yuanbo sighed lightly and said, "Seventh Uncle, I haven't seen you for three years, and the two of us really miss you a little." Without you, there would have been a lot less laughter in this imperial city. ”

"Uncle Seven?" In the elongated voice, Chu Yuanjing snorted even more and shouted: "It's still one year younger than me, and it's still good to be a little seven." ”

Looking at the two of them, Chu Haoyu couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Yes, it's really good to listen to Xiao Qi." ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu say this, Chu Yuanbo and Chu Yuanjing were both stunned, staring at Chu Haoyu with disbelief on their faces, wondering if this was still the Xiao Qi they knew?

Seeing the eyes of the two, how could Chu Haoyu not know what they were thinking, his eyes rolled, and he said, "However, you are also an elder when you are one year younger." Come, call Uncle Seven to listen, there is a reward. ”

With a snort, Chu Yuanbo couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "I just wanted to say that I haven't seen you for three years, but Uncle Seventh has grown up, and now it seems that he is still the same as when he was a child." ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu was playing tricks on himself as soon as he came back, Chu Yuanjing was furious, glared at Chu Haoyu and shouted, "Grow me a generation? When you were a child, who was a horse for you, who gave you a tree to pick fruits to eat, and who secretly took you out of the palace to play? ”

Chu Yuanjing's speech was extremely fast, and there was even more anger in his eyes, seeing this, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but think of the scene when he was naughty when he was a child, and a smile appeared on his face, but he refused to give in, and looked at Chu Yuanjing without showing weakness, and shouted: "Xiao Jing, why don't you say who took you to the palace, who took you out of the city to play?" Every time you get into trouble, who will be your shield? ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu's words, Chu Yuanjing couldn't help but think of the experience of being punished by his father, snorted coldly, and said, "Shield? When did Grandpa Huang punish you? ”

Speaking of this, Chu Yuanjing let out a sneer and shouted: "Yes, I really punished you, the eldest brother copied the book for you, and I have to accompany you in martial arts, and every time you are grounded, your kid runs directly to the imperial grandmother, so that I am punished by my father every time I go home." Boss, don't you say you haven't been punished by the imperial uncle? ”

Watching the two bickering, Chu Yuanbo couldn't help but think of when he was a child, and there was endless nostalgia on his face, but seeing that Chu Yuanjing wanted to pull his alliance, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yuanjing, I remember that when I was a child, I was the one to fight, and you did it, how did it change today?" ”

Seeing Chu Yuanbo helping him but provoking the ugly things when he was a child, Chu Yuanjing stared at Chu Yuanbo and said, "Big brother, I don't know who taught me, saying that if you can't convince him, I'll beat him and give in?" ”

Suddenly, Chu Yuanbo couldn't help but be stunned, and then there was a trace of embarrassment, but Chu Yuanbo was in an extraordinary mood and had been a prince for three years and had been trained for a long time, so he returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang taught it, if you can't educate it, you will resort to force, doesn't Uncle Seventh also use this trick?" Back then, the eunuchs and maids in the palace all avoided when they saw the seventh uncle one by one. ”

Hehe laughed, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "You two are different? At that time, it was secretly said that there was a demon king in the palace, and Yuan Bo Yuan Jingjia was the seventh king. ”

With a cold snort, Chu Yuanjing opened his mouth and said, "No, it's still you who take the lead, I enter the palace now, and there are still people pointing fingers." ”

After looking at Chu Yuanjing for a moment, Chu Haoyu laughed and said, "Finally admit that I took the lead, haha...... Xiao Jing, come, call Uncle Seven to listen. ”

"You ......" glared at Chu Haoyu angrily, but Chu Yuanjing was speechless.

Seeing Chu Yuanjing like this, Chu Haoyu was even more happy, and said with a smile: "What, do you want to do it?" Let me tell you, Uncle Seven, I am a congenital master, do you know what a congenital master is? ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu deliberately raised his head and made a swaggering appearance, and then thought of his miserable appearance of being tortured by his father, Chu Yuanjing stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Haoyu and said, "You, you...... Too lazy to pay attention to you, drive. In the shouting, Chu Yuanjing directly turned his horse's head and returned to the city.

Shaking his head slightly, Chu Yuanbo chuckled and said, "Seventh Uncle, the imperial grandmother and the father are waiting for you, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu didn't let go of Chu Yuanjing, chased his horse to catch up with Chu Yuanjing, and continued: "Do you know what the innate realm is? Innate lies in an endless life, yin gives birth to yang and yang gives birth to yin......"

Seeing Chu Haoyu chattering around Chu Yuanjing and saying that he was not playing, Chu Yuanbo couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but when he saw Chu Zheng and Wang Zhixuan coming up, Chu Yuanbo had returned to his usual peace.
