Volume 1 Chaowai Lang Chapter 21 Those Bitter Drinking
During this period of time, Zhang Fenglin, who was confined by his father, inherited the bloodline of the black tiger of the Zhang family, finally cultivated to the fetal realm, and was planning to say goodbye to his childhood friend Tang Li, and after going to talk to Wang Yaer by the way, he went to the army. Zhang's father told Tang Li that he was no longer in the Sage Village.
Zhang Fenglin was stunned and said with a smile: "Dad, did Brother Tanuki leave something for me?"
Father Zhang, who was looking at the defense map of Chudu, heard Zhang Fenglin's words and subconsciously replied: "No." β
Zhang Fenglin touched his nose and smiled, "Dad, I think that if Brother Tanuki really leaves, he will definitely leave a sentence of 'cherish' for me, Brother Tanuki has left the Sage Village to walk the world like those two sages, our Zhang family, is it not suitable to get too close at this time?"
Father Zhang put down the military defense map and looked at this son, who was getting stronger and stronger and had cultivated to the fetal realm, "Just like you are a bear now, you can't participate in what Tang Zi wants to do." β
Zhang Fenglin looked at his father with a smile, "Isn't that still your father?" β
Father Zhang stopped Zhang Fenglin's words with an idiot look and shouted: "You have to remember that my Zhang Mansion can stand tall in the court of Chu State because we never stand in advance. β
"Dad, do you mean to say that Brother Tanuki wants to participate in the struggle between princes?" Speaking of this, Zhang Fenglin couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother Tanuki is a mortal, how can he be able to participate?"
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as an idiot, Master's student, even if it is a mortal, the struggle of the Chu State court is still more than enough. β
"But Dad, if you don't stand in advance, won't we just be the grass on the wall and won't be targeted at that time?" Zhang Fenglin was puzzled.
"You understand too little about our Emperor Chu Your Majesty. Father Zhang sighed with emotion, if it weren't for His Majesty's secret permission, how could the court of Chu State be in chaos?
"Okay, don't say much, you go to the army first, don't contact the nearest court and the son of the family, go to the army in a low-key manner, don't worry your mother. β
"But ......"
"You're very socially connected with him?"
"He's kind of a playmate I grew up with. β
"Then wait until your fists are hard enough. β
After watching Zhang Fenglin rush out angrily, Zhang called his adjutant Jiang Rui in, "Jiang Rui, secretly protect that kid, it's hard for you." β
The general's words were serious, and Jiang Rui obeyed the arrangement. Also, the Prince's Mansion sent a piece of jade pendant. β
Zhang Ze said "um", "No one else knows about this matter, right?"
"The general is relieved that it was handled cleanly. β
The second prince has been hidden in the mansion during this time, which is extremely inconsistent with his arrogant and domineering character, thinking that the last time he sent someone to assassinate a mortal Tang Li, he actually failed! What is even more fatal is that he actually let the prince find out that he did it, although the prince did not say anything, he just made a special trip to the gate of the mansion and left a sentence: "Stay in the mansion well, don't embarrass the royal family." "Just left, the poor second prince has been bullied by the prince the most since he was a child, and now he really doesn't dare to mess out of the prince's mansion.
The second prince's eyes are getting more and more gloomy, thinking about the suppression of the eldest brother and the ignorance of his father, he just wants his father to pay more attention, why?
No wonder I'm ruthless, I'll prove to you that my methods are not bad!
"Come, go and invite my fiancΓ©e to come to the house, no, prepare a horse for me, hide a little, I will go see her. β
"Okay, Second Highness. β
The prince rode out in a carriage on this snowy day, and couldn't help but think, why is life so tiring? The charcoal seller expects the snow to fall, and the beggar who is huddled in the corner hopes to survive another winter as soon as possible, and sometimes different characters stand in different places, so how can we discuss right and wrong? Many times, too many people like to talk about the right and wrong of others, but if the child is not a fish, how can we know the suffering of fish? But even if we know the suffering of fish, should such a smaller fish be eaten? It shouldn't be like this.
Even if you can understand the original intention of what you did, but you are not willing to compromise, and there is no forgiveness, why bother to say more? The prince's heart has been cramping, but he has endured it and has not let outsiders see any flaws. Also, if there has been pain all the time for more than ten years, it has already been numb, after all, angina pectoris is not really sad. Alas, Your Majesty, do you want to live so much? But if you had said it directly, I might have done it without hesitation.
However, it turns out that everything is false, including your son, our birth, is all within your calculations! Are we just tools? The prince is still very uncomfortable thinking about these questions now, but he also laughs sarcastically, "My dear majesty, I didn't expect that there would be such a me among your sons, right? Sheng Sheng interrupted half of your plan, hehe. β
As for the prince wanting to come to find Tang Li, it is very simple, if Tang Lixi is not dead this time, then if he really goes to that place, he should still survive, and his own story must be remembered.
The prince's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth raised and he smiled, someone must remember, what kind of ruthless world is this! Haha, what kind of emperor and general, thousands of red faces.
When he arrived at the small courtyard where Tang Li's was located, the prince waved his hand to disperse the snow that fell beside him, and the prince did not like the silent snow, as if he was about to disappear. Knocked lightly on the door, quietly waiting for someone to open the door, it is estimated that the girl named Yun'er should open the door, right? If she is still alive, it would be nice to accompany her.
Then, a crack opened in the door. Yun'er poked her head out and looked curiously at the man standing outside the door with her big round eyes.
The prince looked at Yun'er with a smile, "I'm here to bother again, and I hope Miss Yun'er will report it." With that, he asked his servant to serve a box of exquisite pastries.
"This is what I specially asked the best pastry chef in the city to make, I was in too much of a hurry last time, and I didn't give Yun a good greeting gift......"
"Bang!" Yun'er reached out and grabbed the pastry, and then quickly closed the door, without giving the prince a chance to finish, it was good to have something to eat.
The prince was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this girl is indeed in a very peculiar mood, Tang Li has picked up a genius.
Yun'er swallowed her saliva and looked at the pastry in her hand, the fragrance overflowed, and she really wanted to eat it, but seeing that Brother Tanuki didn't seem to be in good health, take it to him to eat.
Well, I think I want to report something? I don't know that.
Yun'er happily pushed open the door of Tang Li's room, Tang Li's charcoal was aside, ready to roast some sweet potatoes, although he was about to burp, but if he didn't eat, it wouldn't work, Tang Li's thought about the practice of roasting sweet potatoes back then, and asked Qiao Shiyi to buy some back and try to bake them.
"Yun'er, what's so happy? Haha, I remember how to bake sweet potatoes, I'll leave one for you when I'm done." I'll tell you, I'm very good at my craft haha. β
Yun'er handed over the box and motioned for Tang Li's pastry. Tang Li looked up at Yun'er, who had been swallowing saliva, and couldn't help but warm his heart, and said with a gentle expression: "Okay, it's too sweet, I don't like to eat it, Yun'er, how about you destroy my share together?"
Yun'er opened the box when she heard this, took out a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, took a bite and narrowed her eyes, and let out a happy hum.
"Yun'er, Qiao Gouzi, that poor man probably doesn't have the money to buy you this kind of pastry, and shouldn't he go out to tell fortunes at this time?" Tang Li looked at Yun'er suspiciously.
Yun'er let out a "ah" and kept gesturing with her hands. "Well, you said the prince is here, and you've been waiting at the door for a while?
Tang Li's mind is full of black lines, this stupid girl shouldn't be abducted by someone to eat, right?" β
After the prince entered the house, he looked at Tang Li, who was sitting by the fire and warming wine, Tang Li, looking at the arrival of the prince, did not get up and salute, but pointed to the stool next to him and motioned for the prince to sit.
The prince smiled and didn't care, sat down next to Tang Li, and symbolically stretched out his hand to roast the fire with Tang Li. "You know I'm coming?"
Tang Li nodded, "If the old emperor doesn't come to me, you must be the person who receives the news the most quickly in the imperial city, even if I am in charge of the ground, I can't compare to you." β
Tang Li pulled out a sweet potato from the charcoal fire, broke it and handed half of it to the prince, "To tell you the truth, I want to thank you for covering up my news for me, so that the old emperor didn't have the idea of killing me." β
The prince took the hot sweet potato, blew it, and took a bite of the sweet potato full of charcoal fire taste, soft and greasy, full of sweetness in the mouth, and couldn't help but feel that Tang Li's craftsmanship was really good, "Maybe after I came today, you will have to die on the street tomorrow, so I have to regret Tang Qing's roasted sweet potato." β
Tang Fox coughed uncontrollably, raised his hand to look at his skin that had begun to sag, and sighed, decay, aging is his soul and all the vitality, Tang Fox shook his loose nails, "You didn't expect me to bake sweet potatoes today, did you?"
The prince buried himself in eating sweet potatoes, and didn't care about the white eyes of Tang Li, and wiped his mouth after eating sweet potatoes before he smiled: "Just suddenly you want to find someone to talk to, don't you want to give me some wine?"
Tang Li motioned to the prince to get a cup to drink his warm wine, the prince got up and took two cups, poured a glass for himself first, then poured a glass of wine for Tang Li, took a sip of warm autification, and said slowly: "If one day you suddenly find that your existence is meaningless, then what?"
Without waiting for Tang Li to speak, the prince continued, "My father, the emperor, is indeed a male lord of the previous generation, Tang Qing, are you interested in listening to my story?"
Tang Li's bite on the remaining half of his sweet potato and swallow it hard, "Listen up." β
"Then come with me for a drink first. The prince raised his glass and smiled at Tang Li.
"Tang Qing, do you know? I don't know why, I always feel that it will be very comfortable to talk to you in my heart. β
"Maybe I'm too handsome!"
"Eh, Tang Qing, you are still so humorous. β
Tang Li looked at the smiling prince, but felt that he also had lingering sadness in his heart.
"Hey, let's talk about it, I'll listen to it, he'll charge it. β
"Hahaha, okay, talk to me. β
