The three of them followed Cai Dongwu all the way to the General's Mansion.

On the way, Cheng Yuexi whispered to Cheng Ye, "How do you know that he is Cai Dongwu?" ”

Chengye shook his fan, "Didn't I say it, I already asked Ying to investigate." ”

Cheng Yuexi didn't believe it, "Chasing the shadow knows him, but you may not, not to mention today, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence." ”

Cheng Ye laughed twice, leaned to Cheng Yuexi's side, and whispered: "Cai Dongwu likes horses, this green-maned horse is what he just got not long ago, it is really a rare thousand miles of horses, it must be cherished, and he rides to the market every day to show off, I just asked Ying to do something secretly." It's true that I haven't met him, but not everyone has such a precious horse. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Sure enough. ”

The three of them entered the general's mansion together. Although Cai Heng is a general, he is actually just a local guard, his official position is not high, and he is honest, so this mansion is a little more humble than others.

Cai Dongwu welcomed them very warmly, took them around, and arranged a place for them to live.

At dinner, Cai Heng finally showed up.

is different from what he imagined, Cai He looks quite amiable, but he was born a little unattractive. Despite this, his son is very handsome, and his personality is a little irritable, but he is rare and fair and honest, and he is also well-known in the local area.

Cai Dongwu introduced the three of them to Cai He, saying that they were his life-saving benefactors, and they brought them back to thank him. Cai He saw that the three of them were extraordinary, so he wanted to ask about the identities of several people.

He arched his hand and said to the three people: "The three of them are kind to the dogs, and they are naturally the distinguished guests of my house, so they must thank them well, and I don't know what to call the three?" ”

Cheng Yuexi smiled, smiling very dignified and decent,

She replied, "Monthly." ”

Cai He almost didn't react,

After looking at the monthly interest for a moment,

He asked, "You...... You say you're ......"

Cheng Yue said with a straight face: "The sudden visit of the palace today has disturbed the general. As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand to his chest and held it with both hands, the sword was three feet long, and the workmanship was very delicate and beautiful, with a silver shell, carved with exquisite patterns, and a cold silver light all over his body. She pulled out the sword for three points, and on the body of the sword, two words were engraved in the script: month by month.

The Moon Princess is a martial artist, and on her fourteenth birthday, Emperor Yan made people create this sword, named the Moon Sword in the name of "Moon", and gave it to the Moon Princess as a gift.

Cai Heng hurriedly pulled his son to kneel, Cai Dongwu didn't know what to do, so he heard Cai Heng say: "Come and see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Only then did he react, the eldest princess today, whose name is worth the month.

But no matter what, he couldn't match this name with the person in front of him, how could he believe that Princess Yue, who was far away in Yandu, would suddenly appear here and appear in front of her.

Cheng Yuexi took back the sword, handed it to the maid, went to help the two of them, and said, "Hurry up, two of you, please get up, my exit from the palace this time is a secret, and it is inconvenient for too many people to know." ”

Cai Heng didn't dare to get up, looked at Chengye, and asked tremblingly: "Then this one, it must be the Third Highness, right?" ”

It is said that the eldest princess and the third highness have a good relationship and are often inseparable, and recently there are rumors that the two left the royal city together, who else will it be if it is not Chengye.

Chengye smiled, closed the fan, and said with a smile: "The general has good eyesight!" ”

"The great kindness of the two highnesses to the dogs, the lower officials are unforgettable, but the sudden visit of the two highnesses today made the lower officials very frightened, I don't know what the two highnesses have to teach?"

"The general's words are serious, today's matter is just the work of the maiden, not a kindness, but Ah Ye and I came uninvited to disturb the general."

"The status of the lower official is low, and it is already a blessing for three lives to have the presence of the two highnesses in person, how dare you say that it is disturbing?"

She helped Cai Heng up, "Actually, the two of us came today because I wanted to ask the general for help." ”

Cai He couldn't believe his ears, "What kind of subordinate officials can serve, just give orders to the two highnesses!" The lower officials must be defined! ”

Cheng Yue said, "Can the general take a step to speak?" ”

So the two of them moved to the side hall, retreated from everyone, heard no sound around, confirmed that there was no one around, and only then did Cheng Yuexi speak: "The general should know that my father and emperor once said that if he can't inherit the throne in the future, he may be replaced by me." ”

This first sentence had already made Cai He break out in a cold sweat, and he thought to himself, isn't this eldest princess really interested in the throne?

"But I don't want any throne, I'm used to being casual, I can't do anything to fight for power and profit, and I don't want to be an enemy of blood relatives."

Cai He breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Chengyue sighed again: "But born in the royal family, some things cannot be avoided after all." There are more than ten princes in the royal family, and there is only one throne. I don't want to see fratricide. So I promised my father to choose one of the princes to inherit the throne for him and support him to ascend to the throne. ”

Cai He asked cautiously: "The princess chose the Third Highness?" ”

Cheng Yuexi nodded, "Although Ah Ye is out of the box, he is upright, sincere, and knows how to forbear, although he is a concubine, his talent is not lost to anyone." ”

"However, the lower officials don't understand, what can I do for His Highness?"

"I support Ah Ye, and no one knows. He has no foundation in the court, and we have been wandering around for the past few days for this purpose. ”

"The talent of the general, I'm afraid I don't want to hide in this small state, just be a local guard."

"The lower officials are only sparse and shallow, and the princess is afraid that she has found the wrong person." Cai Heng said humbly.

"I never look at the wrong person." Cheng Yuexi stood with his hands in his hands, tilting his head slightly, "The general has been stationed here for eight years, before that, except for the state was originally the boundary of Xiguo, when my father had just pacified Xiguo, the border was cholera, thanks to a talent like the general, Dongyan can have today." ”

"The princess praised falsely, it is the duty of the lower officials to protect the family and defend the country."

"I know that the general is loyal and courageous, so today, I boldly pleaded. Now cholera in Kyushu, the DPRK and China are also cheating. If the royal family does not have a good successor, Dongyan is in danger. Even if it is for the sake of Dongyan Sheji, please think about it carefully. ”

Cai Heng thought that Yu Sheng was the person who took the moon, and the person who took the moon was on the side of the night, so Yu Sheng was also the same as the person who was the night. Even His Majesty today is on the side of Chengyuexi. He didn't seem to have a choice.

But above the court, the prince is tyrannical and not a good lord to deal with, he wades into this troubled water, and I am afraid that he will not have a peaceful life in the future.

The three stayed in the General's Mansion for two days.

Cai Heng didn't dare to slack off on these three, but he only called him his son's benefactor to the outside world, and no one questioned it.

On the evening of the second day, Cheng Yuexi was walking in the yard, and felt that someone was following, so he stopped and said, "Who is it?" ”

Then a man in ink came out of the shade of the tree and saluted her, "Your Highness has been away from the palace for a few days, and the Holy One is very worried, and I ask Your Highness to go back with me." ”

"I'm fine, so my father doesn't have to worry, I'll naturally go back when it's time to go back."

But the man didn't leave, "There is an order from the Holy Father, you must find Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Third Highness, otherwise, I will wait...... Our lives are not guaranteed. ”

"If I don't, can you tie me back?"

The man's head was buried lower, "The subordinates don't dare." ”

"Then don't follow me anymore." She turned her head to leave, and suddenly remembered something, "If you have nothing to do, you might as well send someone from the East Palace for me, maybe I'm in a good mood, and I'll go back with you." ”

The ink-clothed man stood in place, maintaining a posture of bowing his head and arching his hands, not daring to make a sound, and waited for Cheng Yuexi to walk away, before retreating into the night and disappearing without a trace.

Early the next morning, the three of them bid farewell to Cai Heng.

When parting, Cai Dongwu said that he would give the horse to Cheng Yuexi as a thank you gift.

Cheng Yuexi looked at the horse, touched its mane, turned to Jingnu and said, "Jing'er, I've sent you." ”

Before the girl could react for a while, Cheng Yue said: "The horse is tamed by you, not to mention that it is not me who is kind to Cai Gongzi, and it is useless." ”

Jingnu didn't like Cai Dongwu very much, and was a little reluctant, but she still responded: "Thank you, princess." ”

Cai Dongwu was happy in his heart, and naturally he had no objections.
