The quarrel by the lake took a lot of time, and it was indeed getting dark.
Xie's speed was extremely fast, and soon the carriage arrived in Shendu. There were two carriages.
The two coachmen did not look like ordinary coachmen. They should be the guests of the Xie family. However, there was a middle-aged steward standing next to the carriage. When he saw Chen Chao and Xie Nandu walking out of the small courtyard, he quickly became attentive.
He came up to us and said with a smile, "Miss, Commander Chen, please get in the car."
When Chen Chao heard this title, he was quite satisfied. It is estimated that only a guy like Weng Quan would insist on adding a subtitle in front of the three words "commander".
Xie Nandu walked into the carriage closest to her.
The middle-aged steward smiled and said, "Commander Chen, please get on this carriage."
He looked at another carriage and wanted to lead Chen Chao there.
Chen Chao waved his hand and said, "No, I'll just ride in a carriage with her."
As he spoke, not allowing the middle-aged steward in front of him to refuse, he boarded the carriage and entered the carriage.
The middle-aged steward was startled, his face became a little complicated, but he never spoke. He just looked at the coachman and said, "Let's go."
In the carriage, Chen Chao and Xie Nandu sat opposite each other, looking at each other's faces.
Chen Chao looked at that extremely beautiful face and said with emotion, "It's hard not to like a girl like this."
Xie Nandu looked at him and said, "Don't be so greasy."
Chen Chao frowned when he heard this and said, "I am a young man, still young, and full of vitality. How can I have anything to do with the word greasy?"
Without waiting for Xie Nandu to speak, he continued, "There is also the word shameless. It doesn't matter what others say. Why do you say that too? I am obviously a very good young man who serves the country and the people. I don't know how many people like to respect me."
, shamelessness has nothing to do with me."
The carriage has started to move forward, and the wheels are rolling forward, but no bumps can be felt.
Xie Nandu didn't feel anything when he heard what he said. He just took a roll
Shu said calmly, "I guess your shamelessness is innate and cannot be changed. It may also be the result of having a hard time as a child. But no matter what, it is not a good temper. If possible, it is best to change it. Maybe
This way you can still find a wife."
Chen Chao snorted coldly, but did not answer her words. After being together for so long, he finally understood what the other person's temperament was. On the surface, he looked serious, but in fact, he couldn't hide the girlish meaning in him.
.
"I don't think you should suppress your nature. At your age, it's good to be cheerful and cheerful, like Zhu Xia."
Chen Chao said casually, lifted the curtain and took a look at the scenery outside. It had just darkened, and many people in Shendu had already hung up lanterns in front of their homes. It was a long street, not too dark, but this long street was too wide. Chen Chao
It’s easy to think of those days in Tianqing County.
Although the city is small, he can live peacefully. On the contrary, now that this divine city is so big, he feels very at a loss. Especially when he is free, he sometimes feels an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
He didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses. At this moment, Xie Nandu was no longer reading, but was staring at him.
After realizing this, Chen Chao asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Nandu said calmly, "Don't compare me with others in the future."
A girl has a girl's thoughts, so how can she explain everything clearly?
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Okay."
Although I don’t quite understand, I just nod my head.
The carriage slowly stopped.
…
…
The carriage was still parked in front of the side door. Xie did not open the middle door to welcome guests. This was not a rude move. According to Xie's status in the Liang Dynasty, this was what should be done.
Although Chen Chao is now considered very popular in the gods, he is only a deputy commander of the left guard after all, and his status does not match that of the Xie family.
Perhaps one day when he sits on the chair of the Governor's Mansion, he will wait until Xie opens the central door to greet him.
However, this side door was actually a sign of Chen Chao's attention, especially when he saw the young man in front of the door whom he had met once.
Chen Chao glanced at the Xie family's mansion, which stretched for a street, and then turned back to look at the young man.
That night at the royal banquet, both of them were in the Zhengyang Palace. However, the young man from the Ning family talked too much that night, while the young man from the Xie family was extremely quiet. There was no communication between the two from beginning to end.
Now this second meeting is no different from the first meeting.
"I would like to thank you for your order. I have met Commander Chen."
The young man bowed his hands in salute with a warm smile on his face.
Chen Chao returned the courtesy and said softly, "The deputy commander of Zuowei, Chen Chao, has met Mr. Xie."
Xie Ling smiled and said, "Commander Chen, there is no need to be so polite. Today is a private banquet. Please come."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xie Nandu and said with emotion, "My little sister hasn't been back for a while."
Although Xie Nandu was born in the Bailu Xie family, the Xie family in the Divine Capital and the Bailu Xie family are listed together in the genealogy. According to seniority, Xie Nandu is the youngest person in this generation.
Xie Nandu nodded calmly and said, "It's been a while since I've seen my brother."
The two of them are neither salty nor cool. Anyone can tell that their relationship is average and definitely not a warm one.
Chen Chao and Xie Nandu followed Xie Ling in from the side door and headed towards the lobby over there.
Xie Ling said as he walked, "We have been waiting for Commander Chen to come to the house for a long time. Who would have thought that we would only get to see the young and old in the house today."
Listen to this, Chen
Chao Nai couldn't hear the blame in it, so he quickly apologized and said, "It's true that some things have been delayed. I have to prepare for matters related to the Wanliu Society. I have been studying hard in the past few days. After all, this is a matter of contributing to the imperial court, and then...
I came across the assassination of the Saint of Wantian Palace by accident. In the past half month, I have been busy with this matter all day long. I couldn't find time to get out. I finally had time tonight, so I had to go to the palace to apologize."
What Chen Chao said is ordinary, but the things in this sentence are difficult for people to refute. Whether it is Wanliuhui or the saint of Wantian Palace, it is the most important thing in the city of God nowadays.
Chen Chao was a direct participant in the matter, so it is reasonable to say that he did not have time.
Xie Ling smiled and said, "I heard that Commander Chen had a quarrel at the bank of Nanhu Lake and returned home with a great victory?"
What he said sounded ordinary, but in fact it also had a special meaning.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Master Xie is not very good at quarreling. He didn't say a word at the royal banquet before."
That night the monk outside the country insulted Daliang, and Xie Nandu also said a lot of things, but he didn't say anything.
After hearing these words, Xie Ling's face froze, but he soon smiled, "I also admire Commander Chen's style that night. I also saw Commander Chen's style that night, so I was a little distracted. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed.
.But since the younger sister has spoken, it means that I have also spoken."
Chen Chao nodded and said nothing more. He just turned his head and glanced at Xie Nandu. The meaning in his eyes was very clear.
See, if you say I am shameless, this person is even more shameless.
Xie Nandu nodded and looked back.
indeed so.
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, saying nothing.

Thanks to Bai Moli, the leader of Fusheng Tomb, and thanks to the leader of Dongdongdongqiang for the reward. I will remember that you want me to die.
Suddenly I owe eleven updates.
