Chu Shancheng did not avoid Dong Xiaowan in the capital, so the meaning of Chu Shancheng's words was actually quite clear to Dong Xiaowan.

If there is a need, Chu Shancheng may need to recover from his slave status immediately.

And this matter, as long as Chu Shancheng wants to do it or needs to do it, it can happen at any time.

Chu Shancheng added, "As long as you still need me, I can even be your little servant here all the time."

When Chu Shancheng said this, he raised his head and looked at Dong Xiaowan with blazing eyes.

This time, Dong Xiaowan didn't look up.

Because she knew in her heart that even if Chu Shancheng really thought like this, this matter was unrealistic.

Dong Xiaowan turned her head and asked directly: "There is another question I don't understand, why do you like me?" ”

Chu Shancheng really didn't expect Dong Xiaowan to suddenly ask so directly, and even panicked, and took a sip of tea to stabilize his mood.

Slowly spoke: "I don't know, but suddenly one day, I have been thinking about you, worrying about you when I don't see you, thinking about you, and nervous when I see you, afraid that you will be angry." ”

"I think I probably like you."

Dong Xiaowan was still happy to hear this answer, lowered her head and chuckled, carefully took a sip of tea, moved her throat slightly, and swallowed.

After getting along for such a long time, although Chu Shancheng's reputation outside is really not very good, but after really getting along, you will find that he is just a little paralyzed and has a straight face all day long.

The names such as the gentlemen uploaded by the rivers and lakes are also untrue.

When you are truly alone, it is the opposite. Some are honest, and they are also a little bad at words in the face of girls. Therefore, since Chu Shancheng said it so sincerely, Dong Xiaowan was willing to believe him.

Moreover, in fact, Dong Xiaowan is afraid to hear similar reasons for liking such reasons as "the appearance of heavy makeup", "the appearance of flirting people" or "the graceful demeanor on the stage".

Because that's not who she really is, and it's not what she can always be.

The real one is a little timid, a little timid, a little wooden, and a little shy.

Because she was reborn in the Teaching Workshop Division and reborn in Dong Xiaowan, who Mama Liu had high hopes for, she needed to adapt to showing another face outside. This face needs to be talented, and it needs to be charming with a smile and a smile.

But, that's just a face, not the real one, the way she yearns.

Dong Xiaowan breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately.

Chu Shancheng didn't expect that Dong Xiaowan's question felt that she was more nervous than she answered.

Seeing that the tea in her teacup was drunk, he immediately poured her a cup with his hand.

I don't know why, the two of them suddenly laughed together, very tacitly, and the two of them picked up the teacup at the same time, lowered their heads, and drank a cup of tea together, hiding their smiles, and the atmosphere was very beautiful.

The two didn't speak, and they wandered together in this happy atmosphere for a long time.

Dong Xiaowan was the first to speak, raised her eyes and asked, "Then let's do this today, you still have injuries on your body, you have to rest early." ”

A trace of loneliness flashed on Chu Shancheng's face, but he quickly digested the loneliness.

He didn't say anything and nodded, and took the initiative to stand up and leave first. When leaving, he paused at Dong Xiaowan's door, and whispered the moment he closed the door: "Good night." ”

Dong Xiaowan also smiled and replied softly: "Well, good night." ”

Chu Shancheng's happiness came back immediately, and he returned to his room with a smile.

That night, both of them tossed and turned in bed and didn't fall asleep much.

。。。。。。

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor Jiang Tingshan bowed his head and folded his head at night.

Suddenly, a brocade-clothed guard broke in, and after entering the main hall, he trotted all the way and knelt down in front of Jiang Tingshan.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, General Feng's team was broken up by the Mongols, and now I don't know where I am."

After hearing this, the emperor anxiously raised his head from the folds and asked, "How is it possible?" Didn't that kid from the Chu family send a lot of people from the rivers and lakes to follow, and besides, in addition to those people, didn't I also send a team of brocade guards. How can this be broken up? ”

"Tell Your Majesty that those Mongolian cavalry ran away after taking people captive, and their horses ran so fast that we couldn't catch up at all."

Jiang Tingshan angrily threw the song to the ground, "There are so many of you, you can't stand it, what do you eat all day?" ”

Jiang Tingshan even stood up from the dragon chair anxiously and paced back and forth in the main hall with his hands behind his back.

The seal is a good general who guards the northwest, without the seal, whether it is Mongolia in the north or Dalu in the northwest, they will be unscrupulous, and there is no general in the court who can compete with the seal to top this vacancy, how can he not be in a hurry.

What's more, this news will definitely reach the ears of the Gu family and Chu Shancheng soon, what will they do? When the time comes, how will he deal with the law if he comes to him?

Jiang Tingshan thought that he had a headache, and walked back to the dragon chair with the table, collapsed on the chair at once, and pressed his temples deeply.

Day by day, there is no time for peace in this court.

Sure enough, as the emperor expected, when Jinyiwei came to the capital to tell him, there were also Jinyiwei who quickly whipped to the Jiangnan Jiaofang Division in Qinhuai River.

Originally, Chu Shancheng didn't sleep very deeply, although the man in black didn't move, but Chu Shancheng knew with his years of experience that the window would not suddenly open like this at night.

lifted the quilt and lit the candles, and sure enough, I saw Shi Qian, the captain of the second team who was in charge of tracking and information investigation of Jinyiwei, who was already covered in sweat and half-squatting beside the bed in a regular manner.

Seeing Chu Shancheng light the candle, he immediately spoke: "Brother Chu, something happened to General Feng." ”

About ten days after their departure, they were scattered by the Mongol soldiers, and General Feng and Madame Bai were taken captive, and their whereabouts are unknown. Our people really can't catch up with the fast horses of Mongolia, and we are really incompetent. ”

Chu Shancheng just stood up and went to the candle lit by the bedside, and was shocked by Shi Qian's words, and sat on the bed in shock, and he didn't recover for a long time.

After a long time, Chu Shancheng clenched one hand vigorously on the bed, and the other hand clenched into a fist, biting on the protruding joint on the back of his hand with his teeth, and blood oozed out.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know if it's someone from Hulun's side or someone from Chenghan's side?" ”

"The brothers who came back, they only said that the other party should not have been planning to attack for a long time, and the people who came had no organization and discipline, and they looked like they were dressed as rich businessmen in the Central Plains and robbed them."

Chu Shancheng exhaled a long breath, it's okay.

In this way, it is very likely that it is someone from Cheng Khan's side.

Because Hulun is now the Sihan of Mongolia, he has been at war with the seal for many years, and basically there are no soldiers under him who will not know the seal.

Since the people who came here mistook them for rich businessmen, and they were able to take the seal away, it means that they are strong in martial arts, but they don't know the seal, and they haven't fought with the seal on the battlefield before.

Then it is likely that it is the people of Cheng Khan's side, or some other small tribe.
