Chapter 42: The Second Heart Rises Again

"Who is that woman?" a seemingly casual question broke the silence in the room.

"What did the general say ......?" Chen Luo looked at Shen Tucang in front of him and asked cautiously.

"Teahouse, do you need me to be clearer?" Shen Tucang snorted disappreciatively, he knew all of Chen Luo's actions well, and he had no chance to pretend to be stupid in front of him.

"That's a lowly old man. Chen Luo lowered his head and lowered his eyelids and replied.

"Old man, your identity as an old man seems to be a little interesting" Shen Tu Cangpi stared at him with a smile, "Do you want to say it yourself, or do you want me to say it?"

The familiar sense of oppression and tension of the "lowly ......" struck again, making Chen Luo not know how to answer.

Looking at Chen Luo's appearance, Shen Tucang leaned back in the chair and said slowly:

"I just want to remind Vice General Chen that you were suddenly promoted to deputy general overnight, and you should know that many people in the army are dissatisfied, and if you don't make meritorious service as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

"This lowly office knows. Chen Luo still replied with his head down.

"Now that you know, now that there is such a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, why don't you use it?" Shen Tu Cang's tone was slow, his voice was low, and the meaning of step by step was overflowing.

The general's words...... What does it mean?" A sense of uneasiness vaguely floated in Chen Luo's heart, in fact, he already understood the meaning of Shen Tu Cang, but although he was no longer loyal to Nancheng Kingdom, he had never thought of using these despicable means to make meritorious achievements, he just wanted to fight on the battlefield with dignity.

"What? Do you think that if you let go of this old man, Nancheng's crown prince Wang Chengchen will forgive you for treason? Are you naΓ―ve or stupid?" Shen Tucang seemed to see through what he was thinking, and sneered and said sarcastically:

"Now that you have chosen this path, if you are so kind to a woman, how can you succeed?

"General......" Chen Luogang wanted to plead a one two, but saw Shen Tucang raise his hand to signal that he didn't have to say anything more.

Shen Tucang seemed to be reluctant to say more to him, and he didn't look at him, and his hand touched the corner of his forehead and was slightly tired: "I have already reminded you of what you should remind, as for what to do, you should think about it yourself and retreat." ”

"Yes. ”

The summer winds have finally reached these two border cities, and the hot and dry weather is not boring, but on the contrary, lively and joyful.

The streets are scorched by the scorching sun, but the pedestrians on the roads are still unabated, and the markets are even more lively, with people buying goods for the upcoming Pray Cheong Festival.

On the sixth day of June every year, the Qichang Festival is a major festival in various countries, and it is also the only festival in summer that is most valued by the imperial court and farmers.

As the name suggests, praying for prosperity is to pray for blessings, and the peasants pray that in the summer when crops grow in the solar terms, the wind and rain can be smooth, and the autumn harvest can be guaranteed, and the winter can be spent in peace. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the imperial court also prays for smooth farming, prosperity of the country, and peace and security of the country.

"The Boss is back. Chen Xiaofu shouted as he pushed open Tang Feng's door, his face full of joy and expectation.

Tang Feng was reading a book carefully in the room, and he was not annoyed when he saw Chen Xiaofu running in frizzy, but his tone was a little helpless: "The boss has only been in Panjiao City for half a month, you ......"

"Hurry up and meet the boss!" Before Tang Feng finished speaking, Chen Xiaofu stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and hurriedly dragged him out.

"What's the matter, let go of me! you let go of me first......" Tang Feng didn't expect Chen Xiaofu to be so excited, so he actually took his hand.

Not as good as Tang Feng's hands that have practiced martial arts for many years, Chen Xiaofu's hands are slender and white, like women's hands. Tang Feng was dragged away by him, staring at the hand that grabbed him in a daze, but the cool touch made his face flush uncomfortably.

"Boss, you're back!" As soon as the two walked to the gate, Chen Xiaofu saw Wei Xiwan coming over.

"So happy, there is a happy event? Could it be ......" Wei Xiwan's eyes were sly, and he looked at the smiling Chen Xiaofu with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then looked at the hands held tightly by the two, looking at the two of them back and forth pointedly.

She had just left Liangwu City for only half a month, so that these two subordinates didn't have to follow her, it could be that something interesting happened during her absence.

"Boss, get inside. Tang Feng uncomfortably broke free of Chen Xiaofu's hand and said with a little embarrassment.

Chen Xiaofu only felt that his hands were empty, and only then did he realize that he had been holding his hand in front of the boss. There was no uncomfortable feeling of holding hands like this, but Tang Feng always seemed a little reluctant, and a faint trace of loss slipped through, even Chen Xiaofu himself didn't care.

"Well, let's go in first. Wei Xiwan smiled absently and walked in first.

"Uh, Boss~ That ......" waited for Wei Xi to sit down late, and Chen Xiaofu, who was standing, was struggling.

"In two days it will be the Qichang Festival, I promised you and your father, every festival will definitely reunite your father and son, your brother Tang has taught you to ride a horse, two days away should be just enough to rush back." Wei Xiwan saw at a glance what he wanted to ask, this teenager who had been separated from his father for so long for the first time since he was a child, was afraid that he had been looking forward to this festival for a long time.

"Thank you boss!" Chen Xiaofu grinned very happily, he was still a little worried that the boss would forget this promise, but now when he heard Wei Xi say it later, he rubbed his hands expectantly and said, "I'll clean up first." So he ran out of the smoke.

"I see, I almost forgot about it. Tang Feng glanced at Chen Xiaofu who ran out, smiled helplessly and shook his head, seeing him so happy, his mood couldn't help but be happy.

"You accompany him back to the Xiyue Imperial City, he doesn't know much martial arts yet, and the journey is far away, I'm afraid he will encounter danger. ”

"Yes, Boss. ”

"By the way, what about Qiao'er? Why didn't you see her, didn't you send a message telling me that she had been here for a few days?" Wei Xiwan asked Tang Feng.

When she left the palace and came to Liangwu City, she was afraid that Qiao Er would be in danger or suffer, so she deliberately didn't bring her, but she didn't expect her to be so stubborn and come by herself.

"I guess I knew you were coming back and working in the kitchen. Tang Feng smiled, the boss's maid is also very loyal, a little weak woman actually came to this border city from the capital alone, "She just came here and wanted to go to Panjiao City to find you, I finally persuaded her to come down." ”

"Good persuasion, I'm going to see her, you also go pack your things and get ready to go with Xiaofu. Wei Xiwan stood up and gently patted Tang Feng's shoulder to show his appreciation, and after speaking, he turned around and went to the direction of the kitchen to find Qiao'er.

It was night, the candles were flickering, and a figure in the Panjiao City barracks flashed into a room.

"Vice General Chen, her subordinates have been secretly following Wei Xiwan according to your orders, she has returned to Liangwu City today, but her two subordinates left today, I don't know where to go, do you need to send someone to follow her?"

"There's no need, just don't be by Wei Xiwan's side, as for where to go, it doesn't matter. ”
