When the emperor heard what he said, he walked out of the hall to help him up, but he just looked up at him, "Your Majesty, the minister has never begged you, please let Ah Yu go today." ”

"There are so many women in the world, why are you obsessed with this one?"

"She is the only person in the minister's life, the treasure that the minister regards as a treasure, the most important person in the minister's life, and the person who the minister cherishes with his life, no one but other ministers."

It seems that he has real feelings.

"That's it." After speaking, he turned around and said: "I owe you too much, and I owe your mother too much. The emperor issued a pardon for Chu Yu and no longer pursued the matter.

"Your Majesty." Zhou Ci kowtowed.

He got up and was about to walk away, when suddenly it was dark in front of him.

"Ah Ci!" The Emperor screamed in panic and hurriedly reached out to help him.

When he woke up, he was already lying in the dormitory in the mansion, he sat up, and a maidservant walked in, "Your Highness, you are awake." ”

"Where's Ah Yu?" He asked.

"General Chu has been released."

"Ahem, ahem." A mouthful of blood coughed up.

"Go and call Dr. Gu." Zhou Ci covered his chest and said.

"Yes." The maidservant hurriedly turned and ran out the door.

"The general is His Royal Highness, and he pleaded with the emperor to release you."

"Zhou Ci."

"Yes."

Chu Yu came out of the prison and wanted to go to find Zhou Ci, Feng He walked over and clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Thank you General Chu for saving your life." ”

"Did Commander Feng also come to pick me up?" Chu Yu joked.

"The general laughed, the general went to prison for the soldiers? Feng He was going to pick up the general and go home. ”

"Let's go, then."

"What are you doing here?" The old maid beside Zhou Ci asked.

"Of course, the general of our family came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Ning said.

"Hmph, you still have the face, do you know that he has relapsed many times for you, and has been injured many times, haven't you hurt him enough? General Chu, please go back, don't come to find the prince in the future. After saying that, she ordered someone to close the door and shut her out, and she arranged for the guards to wait for the prince to wake up and not to mention to him about Chu Yu's visit.

She stood outside the door and stared at it for a moment, then turned to leave.

"General, she's a little sick girl, she's really wide." On the way back, Xiao Ning said a little angrily.

"After all, she is older than us, and she can be regarded as half of Zhou Ci's mother, of course she will take care of his affairs." Chu Yu said.

Chu Yu sat at the stone table in a daze, Xiao Ning came over and said how she couldn't give up, Chu Yu said: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something." ”

Xiao Ning also sat down, "General, don't always look sullen, you have to smile more, come and laugh." ”

"Are you worried about the crown prince?" Xiao Ning asked.

"I'm just worried about how Zhou Ci is doing now."

"He got sick because of me, and he did so much for me, but I couldn't do anything for him."

Xiao Ning: "Why doesn't he want to see you, I think the old witch doesn't want him to see you." ”

"After all, it's because of me, and it's normal for her to have opinions about me." She said.

As Lin Yan's guard, he must be by his side at all times to protect his safety.

"Xiao Yu, will you accompany me to shoot arrows?" He said.

"How can a child play with such a dangerous weapon?" He tried to snatch the bow and arrow from his hand, but he dodged it.

"It's okay," he said, picking up an arrow from his bow and shooting it at the target.

Chu Yu praised: "Not bad." ”

"When I was in Daliang, my mother often taught me to ride and shoot, and she told me to defend myself when I encountered any danger in the future."

"But it's been a long time since I've seen my mother, and I miss her."

"Lin Yan, maybe your mother is watching you somewhere."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Yuan Ying was dressed in men's clothes, the whip in his hand was tightened, and there was obviously a figure flashing here, why is it missing now?

Suddenly, several men in black appeared, and she whipped them, and the whip fell on the men in black, but because of the large number of people on the other side, she finally fell behind, and saw the man slashing with a knife.

At this moment, a man wearing a half-mask and wearing an ink coat appeared, fighting with the man in black, her hand holding the whip trembled, staring at the person in front of her, tears couldn't stop falling, the man in black was killed Guang Yuanying looked at him: "Is it you?" ”

"Girl, you recognize the wrong person." He turned to leave.

She hurriedly stopped him, "I'm not mistaken, the move you just used is something we used to practice together, which is enough to show that you are Mo Yan." ”

"You and I are people from two worlds, so why bother too much entanglement." After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Yuan Ying shouted loudly from behind: "What happened back then? Why won't you face me now? ”

He stopped and stood there for a long time, and then he walked away without looking back.

Mo Yan came to the black man, "Didn't you promise me not to hurt her?" ”

The figure of the woman in black disappeared in the darkness: "I didn't hurt her, I just wanted to see if you still cared about her." ”

"My life is yours, what are you worried about?"

"If only you understood."

"General Chu has recently seen some mountain bandits in Chuanzhou City, plundering the people's money and food, and I sent you to suppress the bandits and restore the peace of the people."

"Obey."

"Ah Yu, you really have a relationship with this prison, this is the second time, and I don't know when I will go in next time."

"A-Ying, can't you expect me to be okay?"

"Hmph." Yuan Ying said disdainfully, and then looked at her again, "You have been alone in the wind and rain for so many years, you have to have someone to accompany you." ”

"I've gotten used to it alone for so many years."

"You're just lonely."

"Isn't that bad?"

"That's it, I'll be with you anyway."

Won Young looked at her, and she looked into the distance.

Chu Yu led the troops to Chuanzhou City, the city was empty, and the footsteps could be heard on the quiet streets, Chu Yu wondered where the people in the city had gone? Some of the doors of several houses passing by were closed, and some were nobody, she asked the troops to wait for her here, and she and Xiao Ning came to a small courtyard and knocked on the wooden door, and for a long time an old man with white hair and a stiff back opened the door, and saw the two of them and asked, "Who are you looking for, two girls?" ”

"Old woman, we were sent by the emperor to suppress bandits."

"Just the two of you?" The old man asked.

Chu Yu knew what the old woman was worried about, and explained: "Don't worry, old woman, we brought the troops." ”

"Come in, two girls." The old woman listened to her and immediately invited them in.

The old woman brought a glass of water and put it on the table, and Chu Yu asked, "Why is there no one in the city?" ”

"The people in the village have been arrested, and except for the young and strong girls and the girls who have not left the cabinet, only we old women and old men are left in the city." The old woman is humane.

"I will give you a stable life."

"I believe in you."

It was night, and she lay in bed remembering the man during the day.

Xiao Ning walked in with a bowl of hot soup, "General, let's have a bowl of fish soup." ”

"You did this?"

"This is what my mother-in-law did." Xiao Ning explained.

"You told my mother-in-law that I love fish soup."

She took the bowl and took a sip.

"How? Is it delicious? Xiao Ning asked.

"It's okay, it's just that it's not as good as Zhou Ci."

"Okay, it's good for the general to drink."

She drank all the soup in the bowl in one gulp, "You should rest early, you have to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Yu changed into a snow-white long dress, his temples were pulled up by a long hairpin, put on a light makeup and Xiao Ning dressed as a rich lady and a maidservant, and rode up the mountain in a carriage, and the soldiers dressed as coachmen and drove the carriage all the way to bumps.

Suddenly, a group of mountain bandits sprang out and surrounded them.

The carriage stopped, the coachman jumped out of the carriage in fright, and a mountain bandit slashed at him, and the man in the carriage said, "Let him go, I will go with you." ”

Xiao Ning lifted the curtain, Chu Yu walked out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, and then Xiao Ning also jumped down and blocked in front of his own young lady: "Don't be afraid, there are slaves to protect you." ”

The mountain bandit leader asked with interest: "Protection? How are you going to protect your young lady? ”

"Stinky bandits, if you dare to insult my young lady, I, I will ......"

"What about you?"

"I ......"

"Beauty, we are very comfortable in the mountain and water nest, we will not treat you badly if you go, and we will let you be my mountain master's wife."

"Let go of my young lady!" Xiao Ning pretended to be struggling.

Chu Yu followed them all the way up the mountain, Xiao Ning was locked up for disobedience, the mountain bandit took her to his door, Chu Yu walked in first, and then the mountain bandit walked in happily, and closed the door smoothly.

The beauty came to drink with my grandfather. The mountain bandit beckoned to him.

Chu Yu walked over and picked up the flask and poured wine into his cup.

He stared at Chu Yu for a while, and his hand suddenly reached out to hers, but she dodged it.

Seeing that she deliberately avoided it, she didn't get angry, but just took the wine glass and said: "It is said that women's hands are very soft, come to give the master a massage." ”

She walked over and reached out to press his shoulder, and then with one free hand, she took a hairpin from her head and put it against his neck, and the mountain bandit felt a chill and opened his eyes violently, and said in a panic: "You, who are you?" ”

"Hmph, where did you have the guts to tease the old lady just now?" She glanced at his trembling legs, "Why are you shaking like this?" ”

"I'll ask you a few questions now, answer me truthfully, or I'll kill you right away."

"Don't, don't kill me, I'll answer whatever you ask."

"Where are the people? Where is Xiao Ning locked up again? ”

"Do you mean that maid just now?"

"Say where?"

"The handmaid was locked up by me in a firewood room, and the people were in a cell underground."

"Let them go right away."

"Okay, I'll let them go, don't be angry." He carefully reassured.

Xiao Ning's hands and feet in the firewood room were tied firmly, at this time, a beam of sunlight suddenly shone into the originally dark firewood room, someone pushed the door and walked in, she immediately stood up and looked at it, only to see Zhou Ci and Gu Jingyan beside him, she couldn't speak because her mouth was blocked, she could only scream, Gu Jingyan walked over and took down the strip of cloth in her mouth, threw it aside and untied her, Zhou Ci asked: "Where is Ayu?" ”

"General, she was taken away."

"Where did you take it?"

"The slave doesn't know."

Chu Yu picked up the head of the mountain bandit, and when she walked out of the house, she ran into Xiao Ning, who also came to him, Zhou Ci saw that she was not injured, so he relieved his heart and asked: "Ah Yu next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't use beauty tricks again." ”

"Why did you come to Chuanzhou City with you?" She asked.

"I don't worry about you, so I also came to Chuanzhou City." He said.

"What are you worried about......

"Ah Yu, you are so impulsive, you can't rest assured if you want me to rest assured."

"I didn't expect the mountain bandit heads to look so delicate, but it's a pity that he became a mountain bandit, but it's a pity that this world is the way, alas!" An Ning folded her arms and sighed.

Chu Yu knocked her on the head, "What do you think?" ”

"Ouch!" She rubbed her head and said, "General, you're too heavy, it hurts me to death." ”

"What's going on in your head all day?"

Returned to Chang'an City and directly entered an attic, this is a famous restaurant in Chang'an City, called Drunken Attic, the landlord was busy smiling and greeting, "Two guest officers, please." ”

Chu Yu said: "I heard that the wine in this drunken attic is a well-known good wine, called plum wine." ”

The landlord smiled kindly and said, "This one, two?" ”

Chu Yu smiled, "Two pots." ”

"Okay."

Chu Yu took out the silver and walked out of the attic with the wine, muttering in his mouth: "One pot for the master and one pot for Li Shuxing." ”

Xiao Ning took the wine and asked, "The general doesn't keep a pot himself?" ”

"If you want to drink it later, you can come back."

"Oh, too."

Chu Yu rewarded her with a hundred taels of gold, and she donated all the gold to the recently built school.

Thinking that day, I didn't have time to say goodbye to Zhou Ci, so I went back to Chang'an City first, and I was a little reluctant to go, she walked in front of the house, passing by the kitchen, and saw Zhou Ci roll up his sleeves to reveal his thin but good-looking hands in the sun, pick up a knife to cut the meat, and there was a pot of soup on the other side, which was emitting white smoke.

Chu Yu walked in and asked, "What are you doing so fragrant?" ”

"I made a pot of fish soup for you to drink, and you have lost weight in the past two days in Sichuan City." He lowered his head and carefully cut the meat.

"Made it for me?"

Zhou Ci is already good-looking, but he deals with the kitchen all day long, and his cooking skills are far from even the kitchen master.

"Then I'll help you add firewood." She was busy seeing that the firewood under the stove was much smaller, so she stuffed it and added a few more firewood branches.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ci walked to the table with the soup: "The soup is ready." ”

"It smells so good." She sniffed the soup.

Zhou Ci scooped a few spoonfuls of soup and pushed it to her in a bowl: "Give." ”

"Your skills are even better than the cooks in Chang'an City."

"Thank you General Chu for the compliment."

She drank slowly from the bowl.

The Shangyuan Festival is approaching, Xiao Ning is happily preparing, Zhou Ci came to the General's Mansion, Chu Yu saw the box in Gu Jingyan's hand, and asked, "What is Zhou Ci?" ”

He asked Gu Jingyan to open the box and said, "It's my clothes that I customized for you." ”

"Clothes?" Chu Yu took the box and glanced at it, "How is it women's clothing?" ”

"In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival, when you wear it, we will enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns together."

"The emperor wants to hold a banquet in the palace?"

"Hmm."

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Zhou Ci drove a carriage to pick her up, Chu Yu walked out of the house, Zhou Ci looked up, her hair was draped around her waist, her waist was very slender in a long pink dress, cardamom red lips, the whole person revealed a strong momentum, she walked to the carriage and opened the curtain for her, the two got into the carriage, and the carriage went straight to the palace.

Chu Yu walked in the palace, the emperor asked people to arrange the palace as if it was a street market, the lights were bright, there were shadow puppets and operas, extremely lively, there were all kinds of food on the tables on both sides, there were today's staple food dumplings, roast chicken, sweet and sour crispy pork, braised fish, all kinds of pastries and wine.

From a distance, she caught a glimpse of Yuan Chong toasting with people, and turned around and left without paying much attention, but Yuan Chong found her in the crowd, and hastily sent those people to come to her side to greet her: "You are here too?" ”

Seeing that he stopped her, he had to turn back.

"The prince meets again." Chu Yu said expressionlessly.

"I didn't expect you to be a little beautiful in women's clothes?" Yuan Chong teased her.

Chu Yu looked at Yuan Chong, who was slightly handsome in a gorgeous costume in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said disdainfully: "I haven't seen the prince for a long time, and it's still like this." ”

Yuan Chong saw that she glanced behind him from time to time uncomfortably, and also turned to see Zhou Ci talking to Fu Rong, and quickly understood, turned back to look at her, and continued to tease her: "Jealous?" ”

But I didn't expect that she was not such a funny person, Chu Yu didn't answer him, just turned around and left.

Concubine Lan walked towards her, the ice in her eyes melted the moment she saw her, at this moment she was as gentle as water, which surprised many concubines, is this still the Concubine Lan they talked about?

"See you again, let's go with Hongu."

"I heard that you are investigating the murder of the palace maid Xiaowei, is there anything you need help from the palace?" Lan Xuan asked.

"The minister really needs the help of the mother." Chu Yu looked at Concubine Lan and said.

The fireworks in the sky exploded in the sky like explosive gunpowder.

At this moment, Chu Yu felt calm in her heart, she was in a good mood, she looked up at the sky, and at this time, Zhou Ci came to her and said, "Go, I'll take you to a place." After saying that, he took her hand, pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the place where he wanted to go.

The palace is very large, I don't know how long I walked, and finally came to a courtyard planted with plum blossoms, the two of them sat down, sat on the grass and looked up at the sky, "These are all planted by you?" ”

"I planted it." He said.

"When did you start planting plum blossoms?"

"From the time I knew you liked plum blossoms."

"It was planted for me." She looked at Zhou Ci, "It's so comfortable here." She lay down and looked at the sky silently.

Zhou Ci also lay down, and he said: "This courtyard is where my mother lived before her death, do you know Ah Yu?" When I learned that my father was going to marry you to Rouran, my heart was so flustered. ”

The distant memories of this moment came to his mind, causing some fluctuations in his heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

"I don't want you to marry someone else, so I went to find my father, but this has deepened the gap between us, Ah Yu, do you know how much I love you? I quarreled with my father for you, deceived my father for you, and paid too much for you, but these are all things I am willing, Ah Yu I don't want any misunderstanding between us, are we as good as we are now? ”

He turned his head to look at Chu Yu, but he didn't know that the person next to him had already fallen asleep.

He turned over and looked at her, the moonlight sprinkled on her body, he reached out and stroked her face, his eyes were full of tenderness, at this moment his heart was extremely calm, staring at her for a long time and refusing to take it away.

Yuan Jian walked out of the Moon Candle Tower, hugged the beauty in his arms, and met Yuan Chong and beckoned: "Little Shizi!" ”

Yuan Chong looked at this: "See the king." ”

"Xiao Shizi, what are you going to do?" When he saw the hairpin in his hand, he asked.

"This is for the mother." He hurriedly covered up.

"I thought you had a new love recently."

"Don't talk nonsense." He hurriedly stopped him.

The beauty in Motomi's arms couldn't help but laugh too.

"Isn't it? I remember you used to come to this kind of place a lot, how did you become so serious now? ”

"Not really." He busily argued.

"Okay, I won't tell you, I still have to leave beforehand." After speaking, he hugged the beauty in his arms and left.

Chu Yu stared at the soldiers training, with a serious face, and soon at noon, she prepared wine and meat for the soldiers.
