Chapter 16 On the Towering Iron Clothes
At dusk, the sun sets, and the shadow of a lonely bird falls in the sky.
Tian Zifang hesitated again and again, and finally knocked on the door of Prince Mian's West Mansion.
This time I once again stepped into the tall red-walled house with glazed tiles and green porch of Prince Mian's West Mansion, and I felt a bit like I was in another world.
Today, he still walked through the west door, just like the last time he came.
It's dusk in mid-spring, and the setting sun is like blood.
The setting sun's exhausting gleam shone through the west-facing couplets of Prince Mian's West Mansion and hit his back, making his back and spine hot, but his heart was still cold.
What was left for him in this place was only sadness, just like last time.
Tian Zifang's steel teeth began to chatter again, and his iron fists clenched subconsciously.
The majestic shoulders shook off a broken shadow, completely irrelevant to the festive and peaceful atmosphere surrounded by red lanterns hanging high.
The letter in his arms was like a soldering iron, making his chest roar.
Just two steps into the west door with firm steps, I heard a roar and curses:
"Who is here? How dare you enter the palace wearing armor? Why don't you keep your eyes open and take a closer look! This is the palace of Prince Mian in the west! Don't go to the wrong place!"
Tian Zifang took a closer look and saw two guards from Prince Mian's Mansion squatting aside to enjoy the cool air.
Tian Zifang couldn't help but despise in his heart:
Huh, are these the soldiers that King Mian personally brought back from Changzhou in the legend? So lazy, yet so arrogant! With soldiers like this, An Neng can dominate the battlefield!
As he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but cover his chest with his right hand. Feeling the letter pressed against his chest made his blood boil even more instantly!
He couldn't help but pull it out from his arms and said with a chill on his face:
"His Royal Highness King Xuan wrote it himself, how can you be so indifferent?"
The two guards rubbed their eyes and looked up and down several times. It wasn't until they recognized King Xuan's unique and small private seal badge that they exclaimed:
"It is indeed the handwriting of His Highness Prince Xuan! Are you here to see our Prince?"
"No! I'm here to find your Royal Highness the Young Grandson on the orders of His Highness King Xuan!"
Tian Zifang took back the mysterious letter written by Prince Xuan, stuffed it firmly back into his arms, and said seriously.
"Oh? I'm looking for His Highness! Let me go!"
Upon hearing this, the two guards relaxed their alarm and quickly made way for them, as if they were leaving.
Everyone in Jinghua City knows that the road to Prince Mian's Mansion is very close to His Royal Highness the Young Emperor Chengfeng and his Fourth Emperor's uncle, His Highness Prince Xuan.
This little Highness, who had gone to heaven and earth to play with the capital, came up with a story about the hero of Tianxiang Tower who saved a beauty and beat up Tang Boer as soon as he entered the capital. Unfortunately, the hero fell into the water while saving the beauty, and was later rescued by His Highness King Xuan.
This story has long been written into a legend among the people. It is told by storytellers day and night in restaurants and other places where people gather to drink tea and fight with each other to watch the excitement.
Even if he is a soldier of Prince Mian's Xifu, who knows how to drink, gamble and go to brothels?
Rumors spread widely in the court that Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo were both members of King Xuan.
Prince Mian has always turned a blind eye. After all, he is just a reluctant prince who does not care about state affairs and has no pursuit of the throne.
What's more, they even fabricated rumors that the eldest prince Mian Wang had secretly formed an alliance with the fourth prince Xuan Wang!
It is said that Lu Chengfeng was designated as the proton prince-in-law of the North End. Wasn't it because of King Xuan's vigorous encouragement?
Otherwise, how could he, a dozen wild species that grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, be qualified and be recalled?
The two guards looked at Tian Zifang's powerful back, with curiosity gleaming in their eyes. However, they did not dare to make irresponsible remarks in the palace, so they could only look at each other and smile, understanding each other's gossip.
Tian Zifang didn't pay attention to the reason, as long as he successfully entered the mansion and found a way to ride on the wind, that was the right way.
Why don't you bring a Wu hook?
It's a pity that in my Dajing army, a group of wimps were beaten until they pissed all over the ground!
Tian Zifang thought of the two soldiers from Changzhou and snorted again from his nose.
Entering Tianjiyuan, where Chengfeng lives, two inseparable figures leaning against each other come into view.
"Your Highness has only been in love with that girl from the north for only a day!"
Tian Zifang looked at the backs of the pair of beauties swinging on the swing in front of the flowers and under the moonlight. He felt surprised in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's you! Brother Tian! You're here!"
Lu Chengfeng was just wondering who dared to disturb the young couple's world, when he turned around and saw this familiar tall figure, he smiled slightly and called out kindly.
"That's not true! Someone from my field said that he would come to have a wedding ceremony! Hahahahahaha!"
Tian Zifang laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter made the pieces of armor he wore rustle, like swallows flying over the eaves covered with bells blown by the wind.
"Hahahaha! Brother Tian is joking! This armor of yours doesn't look like you are having a bridal chamber? I think you are cosplaying the Terracotta Warriors and Horses! Hahahaha..."
Lu Chengfeng raised his head and laughed non-stop. He suddenly popped out a modern vocabulary and said with full joy.
"What tear? What strangle?"
Tian Zifang frowned and scratched the back of his head. He raised his hand and touched his helmet as hard as ice. He couldn't laugh or cry:
"Your Highness, you are bullying me again, someone in my field is not as smart as you!"
"Hahaha, it's nothing. It's just a joke. I see that Brother Tian is dressed up like this today. He is very heroic. He can go to the battlefield to fight the enemy with his sword! Could it be that something big happened in Jinghua City? But my elder brother sent you
Coming?"
Lu Chengfeng's smile gradually faded, and a trace of tension appeared between his brows.
"Yes! No!"
Tian Zifang imitated Lu Chengfeng's showmanship and said with a mysterious smile.
"Okay you! You've learned how to seduce me!"
Lu Chengfeng stepped forward and punched Tian Zifang's strong chest!
"Let's talk! Are you and eldest brother worried about me? Don't worry, the people in the North End can't do anything to me! It's just that this foxy kid of mine almost ate me!"
Lu Chengfeng glanced sideways in the direction of You Zining, with a wicked smile on his face and joked.
As expected, You Zining responded with an angry eye roll. To Lu Chengfeng, the sullen eyes were full of charm, which made him intoxicated.
When Tian Zifang was greeted by the guards yesterday, his strong intuition kept telling him that the people in the north must be deceitful!
Unexpectedly, a peerless and independent northern beauty stood in front of me.
He couldn't believe his eyes, he began to stutter and hesitate when speaking, and asked:
"This, is this you, you, the tigress you are talking about? It doesn't look like it at all to me!"
"The love of husband and wife! Brother Tian will naturally understand it after he gets married!"
Lu Chengfeng patted Tian Zifang's shoulder with a big hand and said jokingly.
Tian Zifang's dark and honest cheek exposed from his helmet suddenly turned black and red.
"Tian came here today not entirely out of concern for His Highness. More importantly, because of this matter."
Tian Zifang finally got back to business, took out the letter with King Xuan's private seal from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said seriously.
"A personal letter from King Xuan?"
Lu Chengfeng took it, saw the strange and exquisite traces of the seal, and glanced at the mouth of the envelope that was tightly sealed with vermilion wax mud. He couldn't help but asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Well, it's the letter of recommendation written for me by His Highness Prince Xuan, for General Jianwei."
Tian Zifang smiled innocently, his sparkling eyes full of sincerity.
"General Jianwei? Zhao Songda? Oh! I understand! It was the elder brother who helped you to ask His Highness Prince Xuan for a letter of recommendation, right? Brother Tian is going to Yunzhou to join the army?!"
Lu Chengfeng shook off the letter in his hand, and his clear black eyes suddenly shone with surprise.
"Well, yes. Your Highness is indeed your Highness. He immediately guessed what Tian was thinking."
Tian Zifang felt a little embarrassed and touched the red tassel on his head. Fang looked embarrassed and said.
"Great! Brother Tian is indeed a hot-blooded man! When will you take the long tassel? Only you, Tian Zifang! With your martial arts skills, Brother Tian will definitely be able to kill everyone on the battlefield! I, Lu Chengfeng, have always been optimistic about you! Really!"
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he danced with excitement! From the bottom of his heart, he felt proud to have a friend like Tian Zifang!
Tian Zifang just smiled, looking like an idiot as always.
This time, he is an iron fool who is determined to go to the battlefield to defend the enemy and serve the country.
"If I hadn't been born in the emperor's family! And I was bound to this marriage contract! I would also like to go to the battlefield with you right away, and live and die together! You and I are good brothers! Advance and retreat together, and share the same fate. Shared glory and disgrace!"
Lu Chengfeng's heart was stirred up with great ambition.
"Your Highness's marriage can be regarded as sacrificing one's life for the country! With us military men who are going to the front line, we have the same destination by different paths! You and I are still one pair of pants and one heart!"
Tian Zifang's loud voice is still loud, but his words are rough but not rough.
"Brother Tian is the one who knows me! Let me tell you, I have died thousands of times in just one day! I am not any less relaxed than you..."
Lu Chengfeng spoke loudly without any shame.
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, he was interrupted by You Zining's heavy but loud cough.
Her face was turning blue and white, and she moved three or four feet away, looking like a shy little daughter-in-law who was so embarrassed that she was almost torn to the ground.
"Hahahahaha..."
Tian Zifang, a tall and thick man, laughed very happily.
"It's a pity that as soon as Brother Tian goes to the front line, our Jinghua City Iron Triangle is missing an arm, a leg, and a corner."
It was rare for Lu Chengfeng to make friends with two brothers, Wu Jingmo and Tian Zifang, in Beijing. When he thought of saying goodbye to him again, he felt a little nostalgic and sad, and sighed.
"Hey! You already have a wife! What can you do if you don't want to leave me as a grown man!"
Tian Zifang was amused by him, waved his hand and smiled.
"By the way, speaking of the Yunzhou front line, is there any new news from Brother?"
