"Huh? Who's that guy? The sharp-eyed Duan Ling'er suddenly saw a lonely horse parked in front of a small forest in the distance.

Immediately, he looked at him from afar, the distance was too far, no matter how sharp Duan Ling'er's eyes were, he couldn't see his face clearly.

"I'll go for a while." Xiao Chen hit his horse and went straight to the woods.

"I'll go with you!" Duan Ling'er was about to follow, but was stopped by Li Tanhua beside her, and shook her head slightly.

"Why don't you let me go?" Duan Ling'er was still unconvinced, "Who is that person?" What if it's an assassin! ”

"That's not an assassin, that's Dugulou." Li Tanhua said softly.

Next to the woods, Xiao Chen and Dugulou sat opposite each other, silent for a while.

"Now that I have changed my name and surname, and now that I have changed the dynasty, I will not bow down to you, Prince." Dugulou didn't speak for a long time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke amazingly.

"Mr. Dugu, you recognized the wrong person, right?" Xiao Chen blinked his eyes and said, "I am a eunuch, not a prince." ”

"Fifteen years ago, I went to the suburbs with the Han Emperor to hunt, and you were also there, at that time you were only about seven or eight years old, hehe, you were very timid back then, and when you saw a black bear, you were scared and cried, and the Han Emperor was very angry, and punished you to walk back to the palace......" Dugulou narrowed his eyes and talked about the past.

"You probably forgot, I was the one who escorted you back to the palace, you cried all the way, your eyes were covered with tears, and when you walked to the city gate, you accidentally fell and broke the little finger of your left hand, I also know a little about medicine, I am afraid that your bones will not grow well, so I used a knife to cut the flesh of your fingers before pinching and resetting."

"I learned Zhu Youshu, and the surgical knife method used is also different, after the wound heals, it will not leave a scar, but it will leave a vague thin line, you see on the little finger of your left hand, is there such a line?" Dugulou looked at Xiao Chen's left hand.

"Yes?" Xiao Chen didn't know it himself, he raised his little thumb and saw that there was really a faint red line on what I was leaning on, and if I didn't look carefully, I really couldn't see it.

"It's ridiculous for you to think that I'm the crown prince of the former dynasty based on this alone, right?" Or flatly deny it.

"Li Tanhua is a hero, he would rather be a monk, a mountain bandit than an official of the Great Zhou, and he is not willing to be in collusion with Xiao Xinghan, but why is he willing to be your subordinate?" Dugulou sighed, "The only one who can make him surrender is the prince of the previous dynasty." ”

"This ......," Xiao Chen blinked and scratched his head.

"You are not a eunuch either, for your voice is not at all sharp, and you walk in a way that does not look like a person who has been pampered, and you do not have that peculiar smell on you, but you do not wear any sachet to cover it...... Don't forget that I'm a good guy, and I can't hide all the details. ”

"The reason why you were able to enter the palace without purifying your body is only because Zhao Gongming helped you, right? Although Zhao Gongming is a eunuch, he is also a hero, and he also repaired a book to me, persuading me to change my mind and jointly assist the prince to restore the country, he didn't say where the prince is now, but I think that's you, right? ”

"Damn, reckless!" Xiao Chen sighed, "I knew that Zhao Gongming's old man would hurt me sooner or later, and he should be killed!" ”

"But why didn't you kill him?" Dugu Corridor.

"I can't do it." Xiao Chen said.

"If you want to achieve great things, how can you do it without being ruthless? Although your father killed my whole family, and I hated him to the core, I could understand his approach, and under the circumstances, if I did not take extraordinary measures, I was afraid that many generals would defect to the enemy. Dugulou said in a deep voice.

"I don't understand!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "He's an old fool!" The reason why the Han Dynasty died was because he was so strict with his courtiers and soldiers that the people's hearts were lost and the edifice collapsed! I'm especially sorry for you, I was young and ignorant at the time, otherwise I would have stopped his ridiculous behavior. ”

"Prince, what do you say......" A trace of emotion flashed in Dugulou's eyes.

"Mr. Dugu, I didn't say this to invite your good, I don't want you to betray Mo Xuan, and I won't let you come to assist me, in fact, even if you kill me with a knife now, I will never blame you, this matter is that my Zhu family is sorry for you, even if I die, I can't get rid of the guilt in my heart for you." Xiao Chen said.

"Alas...... No wonder Chen Jisheng, Li Tanhua, and Zhuge Xiaosheng are willing to follow you. Lonely Lou sighed deeply, but his eyes turned red unconsciously.

How many grievances, resentments, helplessness, indignation, and pathos have come to my heart for more than ten years!

Turned into a handful of heroic tears.

At that time, the big traitors were in power, and several traitors all had grudges against Dugulou.

When he led his troops deep into the battle of Mokri, he suddenly cut off his food and grass, leaving him in a dilemma.

With all the food and grass, he had no choice but to send troops to fight a decisive battle with the Moxian Cavalry, which led to a great defeat, when he was shot in the head by an arrow, fainted, and woke up in the camp of Moxi. ”

Wan Yanhong admired Dugulou very much, not only did he not treat him as an enemy, but also treated him as a guest, found the best doctor to help him heal his injuries, and even served the decoction in front of the hospital bed!

Persuade him to surrender.

Helplessly, Dugulou's heart was like iron and stone, and he was unmoved even if Yan Hong's mouth was worn out.

Just one death.

Until the bad news came......

He was so grief-stricken that he agreed to submit to Mo Ke.

But he didn't accept any knighthood, but just finished Yan Hong's Xibin as a cloth cloth.

And vowed that he would never help Mo Xuan invade an inch of the Han Dynasty's territory!

Wan Yanhong also agreed.

I also asked him to be the teacher of my sons, and I trusted him beyond measure.

Dugulou was also moved by his sincerity, and he also taught several little princes and taught them attentively.

But except for Wanyan Pingqiu, several other princes despised him very much, feeling that he was a defeated general, a traitor, and was not qualified to be their teacher at all.

In order to repay Yan Hong, Dugulou was naturally very strict with them, which made several people even more dissatisfied, and various conflicts broke out between teachers and students from time to time.

There was even a time when several princes joined forces, and when Dugulou was in the toilet, they covered his head and punched him, and finally pushed him into the dung pit!

After Yan Hong learned about this, he was furious, brought several princes over, kowtowed in front of Dugulou to admit his mistake, and personally whipped them to open the skin, and the ghost cried wolf!

In the end, it was Dugulou who pleaded to bypass them.

But since then, they have stopped studying with Dugulou, and only Wanyan Pingqiu is left.

Dugulou also loves this smart, well-behaved and sensible little prince very much, and teaches him what he has learned in his life without reservation.

The reason why Wanyan Pingqiu is proficient in everything is due to Dugulou.

His literary and ink poems were also taught by Dugulou, so he was able to defeat the talents of the Great Zhou in the previous few Lantern Yuan meetings, until he met Xiao Chen......
