When Chu Xian returned to the capital, it was already afternoon.

He looked at the city gate from afar, thinking about it for three years, when he was imprisoned, he didn't expect to be released in his father's lifetime, let alone that he would be rewarded by Chu Yan for his merits in just three years.

It's been three years, this ancient city, what he was like when he left, and now when he comes back, it seems that nothing has changed.

Closer to the city gate, he could vaguely see the people parked outside the city gate, he looked at it carefully for a while before asking the people around him, "Ling Feng, those two people at the city gate, are they Xiao Qi and Chu Chen?" ”

Since the eldest prince's accident, Gu Qingyan has transferred all the manpower and forces that the eldest prince can transfer, and they have all been transferred out of the capital and protected, and Ling Feng has also been released by the eldest prince in the past two days, and Gu Qingyan came back in a hurry.

When he heard this, he also carefully identified it, and nodded, "The subordinates also look like the Seventh Highness and the little prince Chen." ”

In the past three years, the city of Beijing has not changed, but the people have always changed a lot.

Chu Xian looked at it for a while and said affirmatively, "It's them." ”

He stretched out his hand to smash his horse, allowing his mount to run.

At the same time, Chu Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance and said to Chu Yan, "Look, is that Your Highness?" ”

Chu Yan carefully identified it, "It seems to be." ”

Chu Chen looked at it carefully, "It's Your Highness, yes, I'm finally waiting to come back." When the words fell, he wondered, "Your Highness is surrounded by a lot of people?" It also looks familiar, the old man who followed him before? ”

"yes." Chu Yan said, "Three years ago, the eldest brother's right-hand men withdrew from the capital, and although my father's momentum was huge, there were really not many people who beheaded him. ”

Chu Chen let out a happy "hey", "Isn't it?" The bloody storm of the private weapons case was a small rainstorm, because in addition to the witnesses who confessed to the eldest prince, only the seized arsenal and some small people did not catch any big people involved. How is this possible? How could such a big thing as a privately built arsenal be done by a big prince and scattered little people? ”

Chu Yan was noncommittal.

Chu Chen thought about it, did Chu Yan know that Gu Qingyan was the most important person who helped the eldest prince back then? He rescued the eldest prince from this joint, no wonder everyone praised the brothers of the Seventh Highness for their benevolence and righteousness.

While the two were talking, Chu Xian had already ridden to the front, he grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and shouted excitedly, "Xiao Qi! ”

"Big brother!" Chu Chen stepped forward and took a step.

The two brothers hugged.

Chu Chen: "......"

Hey, it's really a brotherly relationship!

After the two brothers hugged each other, Chu Xian didn't forget Chu Chen, stretched out his hand to him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Chen." ”

Chu Chen gritted his teeth, "Your Highness." ”

Although he is also surnamed Chu, the clan and the royal family have different identities, and Chu Chen will not call the princes brothers and sisters many times, although he is also their cousin.

"Even my cousin won't shout?" Chu Xian slapped him hard again, "Why are you so rusty?" ”

Chu Chen was as good as a stream, and he gritted his teeth and smiled, "Brother Hall." ”

Chu Xian looked at the two of them happily, "On such a cold day, I will enter the city when I come back, why bother to work for you to come out and meet me outside the city?" How long have you been waiting? Don't freeze. ”

"It's not cold!" Chu Yan shook his head.

Naturally, I won't say that I waited from yesterday to today.

Chu Chen stomped his feet and said, "It's very cold, but I can't bear it, and when I think of my cousin returning to Beijing, my heart is hot." ”

Chu Xian laughed.

Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Although the three brothers have not seen each other for three years, they are not unfamiliar at all, and the city gate is not a place to talk, and after the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they entered the city together.

Chu Yan said, "I have already asked people to clean up the eldest brother's mansion, and you can move in when you come back." ”

Chu Xian shook his head, "I'll go to your mansion for a few days, and how many days will the seventh brother take me in?" ”

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Big brother is willing to live, I'm very happy." ”

Chu Chen said on the side, "I want to live too." ”

Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Chu Chen. I don't really understand what kind of fun he is making, it can't be because he misses him, before he was imprisoned, this cousin was young, disgusted with him for paying attention to rules and etiquette, and didn't like to stay with him very much, and now three years have passed, and he doesn't look like a person who has changed his temperament.

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Are you going for your grandfather?" ”

Chu Chen smiled, "Yes, now that I am investigating the case with you, I go in and out of your mansion, even if I live in your mansion, I have a legitimate reason, right?" If Your Majesty asks, will you say that we will discuss the case? Otherwise, if I don't have a reason, I don't dare to go easily! was punished last time, and Jiang Yunzhi was still thinking about it behind closed doors in the house. Su Han was left by His Majesty's side, and was later begged by Chu Lan to go, and then Chu Lan went crazy, he ran to the Gu family to hide, and now I don't know what's going on, Chu Lan has thought about it behind closed doors, and he didn't come out, and he is still in the Gu family. ”

"Okay, let's go." Chu Yan nodded.

Chu Xian smiled and asked, "Why are you rushing at the old prince?" ”

Chu Chen immediately said, "Discuss with the old prince about the kung fu and art of war in the army, and take the opportunity to have two more drinks with the old prince." ”

Chu Xian smiled and shook his head.

The group entered the city and went directly to the Seven Princes' Mansion.

After Chu Xian entered the Seven Princes' Mansion, he first went to bathe and freshen up, and then went to the courtyard where the old Nanyang King lived to meet him.

Three years ago, after the case of privately making weapons, the old Nanyang King got the news in Nanyang, and he sighed very much, saying that it was a pity that the eldest prince was imprisoned.

Now, when the two met, Chu Xian bowed to the old Nanyang King, his eyes were slightly moist, "The old prince is safe." ”

The old Nanyang King looked at the eldest prince and couldn't help but think of An Qichen, he was the same age as the eldest prince, he reached out and patted Chu Xian on the shoulder, "Your Highness has suffered." ”

Chu Xian shook his head.

Because he thought of An Qichen at the same time, the atmosphere couldn't help but feel sad, even Chu Chen was infected, thinking that when An Qichen was in the capital that year, he was not a little bigger, he still remembered An Qichen touching his head and saying with a smile, "Little Prince Chen is really Yuxue cute." ”

He was blushing at the time, thinking that he was not cute at all, and vomited for days not wanting to see him.

Hey, although An Qichen has only been in the capital for half a year, he just has that ability to make people remember him. An Huajin is the same, this year in the capital is full of three or four months, but the capital has been turned upside down, which is unforgettable.

The people who settle down are probably all capable of this.

Chu Chen here recalled, over there Chu Xian had been talking to the old prince for a while, and the old prince was asking him if the forbidden place was bitter? What sin did you suffer? But what is the root cause of the disease? If he feels unwell, should he immediately ask the doctor to see him? is young, but he can't delay his body and bones. He said that he was not bitter, he was not guilty, his body and bones were very good, every day in the forbidden place in addition to reading books is to practice fists and feet, although the degree of food and clothing is not as good as the prince's mansion, but it is better than ordinary people's homes, it is not difficult, I just want to see the queen mother and the seventh brother and so on.

The old prince smiled and said, "You didn't go back to the house yesterday, she came out of the palace yesterday and stayed with me in this house for a long time. ”

Chu Xian nodded, "Halfway through yesterday, it snowed heavily, and the road was difficult, so I simply went to my old friend's place to stay overnight." ”

The old prince bowed, "Yesterday, Yan'er and Chen Xiaozi waited for you outside the city for most of the day, and I didn't see you come back, and I was afraid that something would happen on the road, so I sent someone to investigate, and then I was relieved when I got you to send someone to report." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xian looked at Chu Yan and Chu Chen, "It turns out that the two of you were waiting for me outside the city yesterday, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have stayed on the road yesterday, let you wait in vain." ”

"Anyway, Your Majesty asked us to investigate the case, but we can't find anything now, so we simply go out of the city to relax." Chu Chen said.

"What is the case?" Chu Xian asked.

"Jang Jae-fu was kidnapped in the prison the night before yesterday." Chu Chen said, "It's this case, Your Majesty is urging you to solve the case quickly and capture Zhang Zaifu, but now I can't even find clues, so it's useless to be anxious." ”

Chu Xian remembered the words in Qingmo's words, the reason why Gu Qingyan and Wang Anzhi started to do it was precisely because the two of them robbed Zhang Zaifu, one almost died, and the other was seriously injured at all, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

He had just returned to Beijing, and although he had a general understanding from Qingmo, he was far from enough about the situation in the capital, so it was difficult to say that the clues were on Gu Qingyan and Wang Anzhi. The two of them, since they have done it, sooner or later there will be a conclusion.

Chu Chen just mentioned one sentence, turned his head and said to the old prince, "Old prince, is it suitable to eat a hot pot and drink spirits on such a cold day?" ”

The old Nanyang King laughed, "Exactly, since I moved in, Yan'er has controlled me to drink, and I am not allowed to drink too much, I said that it is okay, and he has a straight face, which is not cute at all." Ask him today, if he approves it, I can drink two drinks, and if I don't drink for a day, I'll be very hungry, especially since I moved in. ”

Chu Chen looked at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan laughed angrily, "You are only allowed to be slightly drunk, and you are not allowed to get drunk, and you are not allowed to get drunk." ”

Chu Chen agreed, and said to the old Nanyang King who was hungry, "Just get a little drunk, I don't dare to let your old man get drunk." ”
