Chapter Twenty-Three: Life History
"My apprentice is also spoiled by me, jumping around all day long, like a little bird, she also likes to hug unevenly, but kung fu is not bad. Hahaha, before I quit the rivers and lakes, she caused me a lot of trouble. Later, when I learned that your father was the crown prince, the two of them had made a private agreement for life. Your father is not bad, he married a commoner woman like your mother, but there were many people who opposed it at that time, including the people of the royal family, the ministers of the court, and finally the marriage that the first emperor made, the first emperor is really a saint", Wang Fuyang looked like an old man telling stories to his juniors, "The prince, he is an upright and kind person, but kindness hurts him."
"Old Wangtou, my mother's name"?
"Your mother is a child of a peasant family, and her parents left early, her name is Liu Chunmiao."
"Liu Chunmiao...", Jiang Yu'er's lips opened lightly, silently reading, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Yes, Chunmiao, your mother is just like her name, full of spring and full of vitality", Wang Fuyang suddenly thought of something, looked at Jiang Yu'er and said, "Your Highness, is that jade pendant still there?"
"In", Jiang Yu'er hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and took out a jade pendant from his neck, "This jade pendant"?
"This is what your mother left you, in fact, this is a couple. When the envoy of the Western Regions sent me Dapei, he offered a piece of good jade, and the first emperor gave the jade to the prince, and the princess looked like it and made it into a pair of jade pendants. The prince and the princess also had a fight in the East Palace for this, hahaha, your father was beaten into a panda eye, and he didn't dare to go out to meet people for several days", Wang Fuyang said, as if he had returned to the past, and the two young people asked him to witness a competition, and whoever lost admitted his mistake.
"What about the other jade pendant"?
Wang Fuyang suddenly quieted down, sitting there quietly, looking at the front with stupid eyes.
"Old Wangtou?" Jiang Yu'er was waiting a little anxiously.
"Another piece, I left it in Lin'an, Your Highness, the old minister hopes that you can get it back with your own hands", Wang Fuyang retracted his eyes, and then looked at Jiang Yu'er with a serious face, "This pair of jade pendants, originally the crown princess and His Royal Highness were together, that night the old minister and the prince and the princess faced Liu Jingheng's 500 people together, and they might have died there, more than 100 Donggong guards resisted desperately, and the prince and the princess forced each other to die, so that the old minister protected His Royal Highness." In the end, after burning the East Palace, the old minister put the jade pendant that the crown princess finally gave to the old minister under a piece of bluestone next to the triumphal arch, and the old minister and His Royal Highness also escaped from the palace from there."
"When Wang Taifu took His Royal Highness to find me, he was already seriously injured and almost couldn't be saved", Chen Zhiyuan saw that Wang Fuyang was more and more sad, so he had to take over the conversation, "I was training in Yuzhou at the time, and I was also very sad when I saw Wang Taifu and His Royal Highness, helplessly, it happened too suddenly, and in the end I could only come up with this way to avoid trouble with Taifu, in order to wait for the opportunity."
"Why am I not impressed at all"? Jiang Yu'er frowned, he couldn't think of anything.
"Your Highness was still young at the time, and he was frightened, and when the prince brought you to me, you couldn't say a word at that time."
The tent was quiet again, and several people were dimmed by the memory of the time, Jiang Yu'er was no longer surprised, since he was a royal family, in that case, it was possible for something tragic to happen.
"Old Wangtou, I've worked hard for you all these years", Jiang Yu'er looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him and said sincerely.
Wang Fuyang was about to get up and kneel down when he heard this, but Jiang Yu'er immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Where can the old minister talk about the word hard work, if there is no prince, Wang Fuyang is just a person who sells fame and reputation", Wang Fuyang sat down again, waved his hand and said.
"But if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago", Jiang Yu'er said with a sigh and a little sadness.
"Your Highness...".
"Old Wangtou, General Chen, is the opportunity you just said now?" Jiang Yu'er interrupted Wang Fuyang and asked.
Wang Fuyang and Chen Zhiyuan glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Exactly."
"So, I came here, and then you found me, and you all planned it"?
Wang Fuyang hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Some are plans, some are not."
"How to say"?
Wang Fuyang glanced at Chen Zhiyuan, Chen Zhiyuan smiled and shouted outside: "Come in."
A man walked into the tent, dressed as a soldier, but when he came in, he only stood at the door of the tent, and his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
"You come closer, so that His Highness can see clearly", Chen Zhiyuan said to the man.
So the man approached Jiang Yu'er step by step, and Jiang Yu'er slowly saw the face clearly, but he didn't know this person.
Jiang Yu'er looked at Chen Zhiyuan suspiciously, and then looked at Wang Fuyang.
"Your Highness, think about it, do you remember this person", Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Jiang Yu'er looked at it carefully, but still didn't know it, but felt like she had seen it somewhere.
"That night in Zhang Minghua's courtyard," Chen Zhiyuan reminded.
Jiang Yu'er's eyes widened, and she suddenly remembered: "You are, you are the servant"!
"Your Highness has a good memory, his name is Donglai, he is my personal guard, don't look at his age, but he is excellent in martial arts. I have come to the east and have seen Your Highness."
"The villain came from the east and saw His Highness", the young man named Donglai knelt down and saluted.
Jiang Yu'er stood up in disbelief and looked carefully at Donglai, who was kneeling in front of him.
"You, you were then, weren't you already..."? Jiang Yu'er said in surprise.
"Your Highness, don't look at Donglai's young age, but his martial arts are amazing, you did kill a servant with one punch at that time, but Donglai, just faked his death", Chen Zhiyuan smiled.
"How did you arrange it, could it be that I went to Qingshui County Ya, and then went to Zhang Minghua's courtyard with you?" Jiang Yu'er suddenly thought of Zhang Minghua's death, "So what about Zhang Minghua's death, what is his death"?
Chen Zhiyuan let Donglai out of the camp tent and shook his head a little embarrassed. Wang Fuyang, who had been quiet for a long time, got up and asked Jiang Yu'er to sit down.
"The old minister left Qingshui County this time because General Chen knew that the imperial court was going to fight this battle, and then he consulted with the old minister. At that time, the imperial court asked General Chen to lead the Cai army south, so we pushed the boat down the river and made some arrangements," Wang Fuyang said slowly.
"What arrangement"?
Wang Fuyang also smiled, "It's also providence, I originally thought that after the Cai Army arrived in Qingshui County, His Royal Highness might have the idea of joining the army when he saw it, after all, the old minister had told His Royal Highness a lot of military and political things before, oh, Donglai was in Qingshui County with Zhang Minghua, and his identity was Zhang Minghua's servant in the foreign mansion." I just didn't expect that His Highness would be involved in that incident, but fortunately, Donglai was smart and did a good job."
"Aren't you afraid that it might be me who died at that time"? Jiang Yu'er was a little louder.
"No, if His Royal Highness will be injured by that person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, it will be the incompetence of the old minister", Wang Fuyang shook his head.
"Cut, it sounds good, I was at the time, I was at the time, it was very dangerous, okay", Jiang Yu'er didn't know how to say it.
"Your Highness is frightened", Chen Zhiyuan hugged his fists and startled Jiang Yu'er.
"And later"? Jiang Yu'er then asked.
"His Royal Highness wants to join the army to avoid trouble, and it happens to be our wish," Chen Zhiyuan continued.
"You are not afraid that I will be arrested after I kill Zhang Minghua, I heard that Zhang Qian went crazy when he found out that his son was dead."
"Zhang Qian is old and angry, and he has been angry for half a month, so I can use the recruitment order to calm him down. But Your Highness, don't be afraid, in fact, we have arranged for guards to be by your side", Chen Zhiyuan said, and called out to someone outside the tent to come in.
is still a pro-soldier, but this person is obviously much thinner and more delicate.
"This is a little girl, Chen Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu is my personal soldier in the army, in fact, she is also a disciple of Wang Taifu", Chen Zhiyuan looked at his daughter and nodded with satisfaction.
"Chen Xiuxiu has seen His Royal Highness", Chen Xiuxiu knelt down and saluted.
Jiang Yu'er was shocked again, "Female, female"?
"His Highness looks down on women"? Chen Xiuxiu asked when she heard this.
"Xiuxiu", Chen Zhiyuan scolded.
"General Chen, it's okay", Jiang Yu'er realized her faux pas, "Miss Xiuxiu, I don't look down on women, I just don't know that women can also be soldiers, it's rude."
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, except for three people in the army, no one knows that Xiuxiu is a girl, she is also very competitive and does a good job", Chen Zhiyuan made Chen Xiuxiu stand up.
"General Chen, you just said that someone is protecting me, and you are talking about Miss Xiuxiu"? Jiang Yu'er asked.
"Why, Your Highness, you still look down on women"?
"No, I, I...", Jiang Yu'er suddenly became a little nervous.
"Hahahaha, although Xiuxiu is a woman, but the woman does not let her eyebrows, she is good at martial arts, and the old minister also appreciates it very much", Wang Fuyang suddenly laughed.
"After Mrs. Wang came to me, because there were a lot of things to deal with, so we let Donglai and Xiuxiu go to Qingshui County, one in the light and the other in the dark, with them, Your Highness will not have any problems", Chen Zhiyuan said in detail.
"You mean, Miss Xiuxiu..."?
"Yes, in those days, Xiuxiu was always by His Highness's side."
Jiang Yu'er opened her mouth slightly and looked at Chen Zhiyuan, and then looked at Chen Xiuxiu, who was dressed as a man in front of her. It suddenly occurred to me that I was almost naked in the yard every morning in the shower, and at that time, there was probably a girl watching from the side. Jiang Yu'er's face turned red all of a sudden, and the whole person was cramped and didn't know where to look, but Chen Xiuxiu saw Jiang Yu'er like this, as if she knew why, her face was also red, and she lowered her head. Chen Zhiyuan saw the two of them twisting, and thought of Chen Xiuxiu's own advice before going to Qingshui County: "No matter when, always protect Your Highness, even if he is taking a bath, you have to watch."
Chen Zhiyuan had to cough embarrassedly, and then said: "Xiuxiu, you don't have to dress like this soon, you can dress generously and show yourself generously", Chen Zhiyuan said to Chen Xiuxiu.
"Really"?
"Really, Your Highness has arrived, it's time", after speaking, Chen Zhiyuan let Chen Xiuxiu out of the camp.
"By the way, what exactly is it when you say it"? Jiang Yu'er, who was still a little embarrassed just now, asked suspiciously.
Chen Zhiyuan took out a letter from his arms, glanced at Wang Fuyang, and saw that Wang Fuyang nodded at him, Chen Zhiyuan handed the letter to Jiang Yu'er.
Jiang Yu'er took the letter, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
