A few days later, many cavalrymen marched out of Tanzhou City, with bright flags fluttering in the wind.

Chenyue is about to set off to meet up with the Holy Master, and then they will patrol Jianmen Pass together.

Xue Chengyi did not go together this time, but was accompanied by Xue Leihan for a casual stroll in Liaodong. The father and son had not stayed together for a long time. What made Chen Yue happy was that they brought Xue Qianqian with them.

Brought to me.

Zhou Zhifeng, uncharacteristically, did not sit on the chariot today. Instead, she changed into a plain robe, rode a white horse, and walked side by side with Chen Yue.

The eldest princess pretended that she wanted to ask Prince Liang to talk about the customs and customs of Liaodong, but in reality she was making some small calculations in her heart.

Although she was a princess who grew up in a deep palace, Zhou Zhifeng had also learned some equestrian skills. Otherwise, how could she have dared to sneak out of the palace with a few imperial guards.

Although the way she swayed on horseback was not as good as Chen Yue, a military commander who had been on the battlefield all year round, she was already considered a leader among women and had quite a bit of style.

Chen Yue, who was following him, pretended not to understand Zhou Zhifeng's intentions, and actually introduced him to an overview of Liaodong in a serious manner.

What kind of river is this, what kind of mountain is this, what do the people do for a living, and what interesting things happened here are all described in detail.

At first Zhou Zhifeng listened with interest, but later she realized something was wrong. Chen Yue was clearly changing the topic and keeping a distance from herself.

"stop!"

Just when Chenyue was spitting, Zhou Zhifeng raised his hand with a cold face: "Prince Liang, are you finished?"

Chen Yue was still pretending to be stupid: "There are countless interesting things about Liaodong's customs, customs, and anecdotes. I can't finish talking about them in this short meeting."

In fact, Chen Yue's mouth was dry as he talked a long time ago, but he didn't dare to stop.

Do you think it's really easy for someone to talk so half-naively?

"you!"

Zhou Zhifeng was choked by Chen Yue's words, and whispered angrily: "If you keep doing this, be careful and I'll fall out!"

Chen Yue smiled bitterly, glanced at the guards following behind him with the corner of his eyes, and said softly: "Your Highness, I have made my intention clear a long time ago. I hope the eldest princess will not dwell on such impossible things anymore.

"

Zhou Zhifeng bit her red lips lightly, yes, Chen Yue had said before that their identities were destined to be impossible.

"Then you, then you don't have any love for me..." Zhou Zhifeng's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.

It doesn't matter whether Zhou Zhifeng can be together or not, but now she wants to hear an answer from Chen Yue.

The spring breeze blew across the earth, making low noises, and the atmosphere between the two became strange.

Chen Yue, who had been silent for a long time, finally nodded: "Yes, but that's all."

A slight voice reached Zhou Zhifeng's ears, and the princess who grew up in a deep palace instantly smiled sweetly: "That's enough! Let's go! Go to Jianmen Pass!"

"drive!"

Before Chen Yue could answer, Zhou Zhifeng waved his whip fiercely and rode forward.

Chen Yue looked at the figure floating away and sighed: "I hope this is the end of the relationship between us. We have a family now!"

…

Two days later, Chen Yue, Zhou Zhifeng and his party met up with the emperor and headed towards Jianmen Pass together.

Zhou Zhifeng returned to his car as a matter of course, while Chen Yue and Uncle Guo came together talking and laughing.

"Your Majesty, it seems that I have been chatting with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess very well these past two days. After all, we are all young people who have something to talk about. Unlike me, I am old and useless." Shangguan Taiqing said with a smile.

.

"Haha, uncle Guo is joking. You are still in your prime. I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with matters in the court without Sir Shangguan." Chen Yue dealt with it casually, but he heard something in Shangguan Taiqing's words.

It seemed that the uncle-in-law regarded Zhou Zhifeng as a bargaining chip to get close to him, but Chenyue was also happy that the Empress Dowager's faction showed favor to him.

After all, he was asking the court to give him money and food, and the Yuwen family was already unhappy with him. If the Shangguan faction continued to treat him coldly, it would be difficult for him to survive.

Shangguan Taiqing did not bother too much on the topic of the eldest princess. Instead, he lowered his voice and said: "Ahem, Your Majesty. I will try my best to urge the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle the appropriation matter after I return to Beijing. Don't worry.

.”

Chenyue smiled slightly: "Then I will thank my uncle first."

"It's easy to talk!" Shangguan Taiqing smiled happily. Chenyue is indeed a smart man, and he knows everything clearly.

Chenyue suddenly turned his head and saw the familiar face not far behind Shangguan Taiqing, Fifth Xinrou.

Xue Chengyi said to himself in private two days ago that the fifth heart is very close to Shangguan Taiqing, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is from the Shangguan family.

Even the officials in the court who were attached to the Yuwen family were not so blatant.

"The Fifth Master is here too, haha." Chen Yue smiled slightly and took the initiative to say hello.

"I have met the prince." Wu Xinrou's face was very calm, but in fact his eyes flickered slightly.

"Master Yuwen of the Ministry of War is ill and is unable to travel far, so this time the Ministry of War will be represented by the fifth lord, who will travel with His Majesty." Shangguan Taiqing explained with a smile on the side.

"Everyone knows the fifth man's military exploits in the southern border. During this patrol in the northern border, if you see any deficiencies in our northern border defense line, please give me some advice." Chen Yue said casually.

"Your Majesty is joking, my subordinate He Dehe dares to give me advice. I am here to learn." Fifth Xinrou showed a look of sincerity and fear.

Wu Xinrou didn't lie this time, he really came to see what the world-famous Liang Jun was like.

"Haha, let's go, we can reach Jianmenguan tomorrow!" Chenyue laughed loudly, turned his horse forward, and the two of them followed closely.

In the huge motorcade behind them, two pairs of eyes were watching them through the gaps in the car curtains.

"Brother, this Shangguan Taiqing is trying to show his goodwill. He is really treacherous. He is using money from the Ministry of Finance to win over this Chenyue." Yu Wenhao, who looked like the second generation ancestor, curled his lips in disdain and said.

Who doesn’t know that the Ministry of Household Affairs is the confidant of the Yuwen family, and although the treasury is the treasury of the imperial court, it is not necessarily His Majesty who has the final say on how to use the free money and to whom.

"Yes, being able to see this layer means that your brain has not completely turned into mush." ​​Yuwen Xingchen, who was sitting at the side, said silently.

In fact, Yuwen Xingchen knew that the Shangguan family's bargaining chip to win over Chenyue was not only the five hundred thousand taels of silver, but also the dignified eldest princess.

"Hey, what I said is too small for my younger brother. After all, I am also from Yuelu Academy." Yu Wenhao winked.

"Be calm, just give me a few compliments and you will go to heaven. This time I let you come out with me just to see the world. Just don't cause trouble for me!" Yuwen Xingchen said something and then slowly closed his eyes.

Yu Wenhao whispered with bright eyes: "I wonder if there is any woman in Liangdi who I can like."
