Cui Jing turned to look at her and asked in a faint voice: "Have you forgotten the moon? Have you forgotten everything else too?"
Hearing him ask this, Chang Sui Ning raised his hand and hit his head with some distress: "It seems that I have no memory at all..."
Cui Jing raised his hand and held her wrist to stop her from beating.
Chang Suining looked at the hand holding his wrist.
Under the moonlight, the young man's palms were slender and clean, with distinct muscles and bones, and a thin layer of warmth between his fingers.
The owner of that hand said in a warning tone: "Be careful of becoming stupid."
Chang Suining: "It seems you are not worried at all that I can't remember."
Cui Jing took her hands back and put them behind her back, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes: "You don't act very well."
Chang Sui Ning also put his hands behind his back like him and looked at the moon again: "That's because I didn't work hard to play it with you seriously - lest you be really disappointed."
Cui Jing: "Then thank you for your mercy, Your Highness."
Chang Sui Ning nodded lightly: "Easy to say."
"So," Cui Jing turned to look at her and asked, "Your Highness remembers everything you said, right?"
Repeatedly asking questions is definitely not his character. It shows that this matter is very important to him - he rarely attaches such importance to something.
"Of course." Chang Sui Ning also looked at him with a smile on his face and said confidently: "Didn't I say that even though I was drunk, I didn't say a word of confusion."
She repeated exactly what she said last night, which showed that she remembered it very clearly.
Looking at each other, the smile in Cui Jing's eyes spread: "Such a wine is indeed excellent."
Chang Suining smiled, raised his eyebrows, and tapped his chin slightly, looking quite pleased with himself.
Then, she said: "I am a drunk person and I remember it so clearly. You should also remember it carefully and take care of yourself."
"I will remember it." Under the stars and moon, the young man's voice was not serious, but it was as if he had made the most solemn promise in his life: "I will wait for His Highness's feast of the mountain and moon."
The surrounding fields are silent, and the night is as deep as a long river.
Until the twinkling stars are covered by the first ray of skylight, the night fades, and the sky and earth become bright again.
In the dim light of morning, Chang Suining and his party were already dressed and ready to set off.
Yuezhi hung a baggage on her daughter's shoulder and said with tears in her eyes: "Ani, I can't go with you. You have to take care of yourself. Over the years, I haven't done anything to help you. Now..."
"Okay." Kang Zhi interrupted her: "Why are you saying this now..."
Pulling the baggage, Kang Zhi said: "As a mother, you always have to pay more attention to the most useless child. It's not that I don't understand."
Yuezhi wanted to speak again, but Kang Zhi had already said: "I'm leaving, please remember to take good care of my brother."
With that said, he got on his horse and drove in the direction of the team.
Yuezhi chased after a few steps: "...Ani, you must be good!"
"I know!" Kang Zhi didn't look back and sniffed her slightly sour nose. She was not a useless child. She would definitely be fine!
Kang Zhi drove her horse to follow Shepherd's Purse's female soldiers.
Yuan Xiang also sat on the horse and was talking to He Wuhu next to him.
Yuan Xiang continued to follow Chang Suining back to Jiangdu. Strictly speaking, no one gave any instructions.
Yesterday, when Cui Jing was thinking about whether it was necessary for Yuan Xiang to continue to follow him, the next moment, Yuan Xiang came to say goodbye to him carrying a baggage...
Cui Jing nodded silently.
Lieutenant General Yu on the side was not surprised - you should have this awareness when it comes to dowry!
At this moment, Chang Sui Ning had also mounted the horse, but Chang Sui An was still beside her and said with a face full of reluctance: "Ning Ning, you have to take care of yourself."
Chang Suining had heard the word "take care" hundreds of times in the past two days, and felt that these two words were all over her body, and she really couldn't get any heavier.
"Brother, don't worry." She finally responded, looking at Chang Sui'an and Cui Jing beside Chang Sui'an, and said with a smile: "It's time for me to go."
Looking at my brother's posture, there were already two big balls of tears in his eyes, like two balls of dynamite that would explode at any time and burst into tears.
It would be better to escape as soon as possible and leave the dynamite dumpling with the fuse lit to Cui Jing.
Cui Jing has not yet realized Chang Suining's desire to be the shopkeeper. At this moment, he only nodded to her and watched her off.
Chang Sui'an also nodded with tears in his eyes. He felt that there were countless things he wanted to say to his sister, but he didn't know what else to say.
But seeing that his sister's horse had moved, he still became anxious and sobbed loudly: "...Ning Ning, tell daddy that I miss him!"
"If he doesn't like this sentence, then tell him one more thing - I will do my best!"
The green-robed girl on the horse did not turn around. She held the reins in one hand and waved with the other, saying, "Remember it!"
"Ning..." Looking at the fading figure, Chang Sui'an could no longer hold on, and the rest of his words turned into a "wow" and exploded.
He put his head on Cui Jing's shoulder and started crying.
Listening to this majestic cry, Cui Jing did not dare to move: "..."
It’s February, everything is new.
Chang Suining and his party galloped on horseback. As the scenery became wider, their reluctance to leave was gradually blown away by the east wind.
Kang Zhi looked at the cascading mountains in front of her, and the sadness of parting with her mother and brother was swept away, replaced by novelty, excitement, and hope in her heart.
Chang Sui Ning returned to Dongluo first.
Nowadays, a small number of the remnants of Kangding Mountain are still on the run, but they are scattered and outnumbered. It is difficult to hide and protect themselves. They never dare to show their faces to provoke Chang Suining's troops.
Therefore, the journey to the east is smooth and unobstructed.
Wu Jue, Bai Hong and other generals had been waiting in Dongluo. When they heard that Chang Suining had returned, they hurriedly went to greet him.
Chang Suining looked at Bai Hong and others who had gained weight and were full of energy. Even Wu Jue's complexion had improved a lot, and he couldn't help but nodded with relief.
The general is like this, so her soldiers should be well-maintained.
"...This meal really took a long time and cost your country money."
In the Dongluo Palace, in a Chinese pavilion built near the water, Chang Sui Ning thanked Jin Chengyuan.
"Compared with the benefits brought to Dongluo by the avoidance of war, mere hospitality is nothing." A young man with fair skin was wearing the royal robe of Dongluo, with a pair of phoenix eyes and a smile: "Besides, spring has just arrived, so this meal
It’s not too long to eat.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's been two full months." Chang Suining looked at the spring scenery outside the pavilion and said with a smile: "It's time to go back to Jiangdu."
Knowing that she had many affairs and that Dasheng's internal situation was in turmoil, Jin Chengyuan did not force her to stay.
The two discussed some affairs between the two countries in the pavilion.
Afterwards, Jin Chengyuan once again expressed his apology to Chang Suining for concealing his identity.
From this, he talked about his not-so-lucky life experience and why he decided to rush to Dasheng in the first place. His words were not heavy-handed and he was very sincere.
After talking about it, he looked at Chang Suining and said slowly: "When I went to Dasheng, I brought back many priceless treasures, which are enough to benefit me for a lifetime."
"We, Da Sheng, have countless national treasures and believe in the way of integration. As long as your country has sincere friendship, Da Sheng will treat you as a distinguished guest."
A girl with a ponytail is sitting in the pavilion, with a smile on her face and eyes, an upright and unobtrusive figure, and a majestic attitude about her that is as deep as a lake and sea.
Xi Zhiyuan held up the tea cup with both hands and said slowly: "Dongluo wishes to have a happy relationship with Dasheng Zong for hundreds of thousands of years."
Chang Sui Ning also picked up the tea cup and replaced it with wine.
When putting down the tea cup, Jin Chengyuan said: "Actually, before I wanted to return to Dongluo, I wanted to wait for Mrs. Chang to return to the capital and say goodbye in person -"
He changed back to his previous title in the Imperial College and said: "It's just that I haven't waited for Mrs. Chang to come back for a long time. What I didn't expect is that when we meet again, it will be through that polo."
The polo delivered to him was just like the Dragon Boat Festival match in the Imperial Academy two years ago, which brought him to a new situation.
Speaking of the mechanism polo that Chang Suining used to send him the message at first, Jin Chengyuan said: "It's just that I'm curious about something..."
Chang Suining: "I would like to ask how I know that Jin Chengyuan is Xi Zhiyuan?"
Jin Chengyuan nodded.
Chang Sui Ning said sincerely: "Cui Jing told me."
"Xuan Ce Mansion, Governor Cui?" Jin Chengyuan was quite surprised.
"Yes." Chang Suining nodded and said: "He secretly found out your identity a long time ago and was on guard. But later, he probably also confirmed that you have no harmful intentions. It is not easy to know you.
Therefore, I did not rush to expose this matter, nor did I report it to the emperor."
Otherwise, if this matter was brought to the ears of the emperor, it would not lead to death, but it would still cause some trouble.
In other words, after Cui Jing found out Jin Chengyuan's secret, he chose to keep it secret for him.
Cui Jing's goal is to control the truth, but he will also decide whether to speak out based on different facts and situations.
Jin Chengyuan was stunned for a while and then said: "I am not familiar with Governor Cui..."
It can be seen from this trivial matter that Governor Cui, who in his impression was cold and taciturn and extremely difficult to approach, actually had a silent background of generosity and kindness, and he did not hesitate to understand the difficulties of strangers' survival from a plain and subtle perspective.
place.
"No wonder Cui Liulang always said in the past that he has the best eldest brother in the world." Jin Chengyuan said with a smile: "But only his father doesn't know."
Chang Sui Ning also smiled, but his thoughts were a little far away. The Cui family, since the incident with the Zheng family, the Cui family has become more and more on thin ice, and is deeply involved in the whirlpool of fighting with the imperial power...
It was only because the current wars were too frequent and troublesome, the order of the court was already on the verge of collapse, and the previous liquidation of the Pei family, Zheng family, Yuan family and other noble families had damaged the foundation, the emperor was unable to spare any effort and continued to attack the deep-rooted people.
The Cui family took action.
In this stormy time, the Cui family and the emperor seemed to have a moment of balanced coexistence, but this was just a temporary stalemate created by the situation.
This stalemate will eventually be broken.
When she was in Youzhou, she also talked about this matter with Cui Jing. Cui Jing had his own thoughts on this and wanted to try to persuade his grandfather Cui Ju secretly...
Chang Suining's thoughts were briefly distracted until she heard Jin Chengyuan ask: "Speaking of Cui Liulang, I wonder how he is doing?"
"I spend all day copying books in my old house in Qinghe." Chang Sui Ning said without thinking, almost calling copying the book theft.
"Copying books?" Jin Chengyuan felt strange and couldn't help laughing: "Cui Liulang has made progress now."
He then asked about Qiao Yubai and Hu Huan.
Chang Suining told him roughly everything he knew, and finally said: "But I haven't returned to Beijing for a long time, so I don't know anything about the recent events."
Jin Chengyuan nodded lightly and said: "After all the current affairs are settled, I want to write a letter to Cui Liulang and Yu Bai to explain the cause and effect."
He looked at Chang Suining and said honestly: "When I went to Dasheng, I did consider my own interests, but my friendship with Yubai and the others was never fake."
Chang Suining nodded and paused slightly.
After a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at the new green shoots on a dead tree.
Are the interests genuine and the feelings not fake?
Because it wasn't a fake, that's why we couldn't see the clues, right?
…
Chang Suining only stayed in Dongluo for three days before setting off with his army.
Jin Chengyuan took Dongluo officials to see him off at the ferry in person.
Watching Chang Suining board the ship and the ship gradually sailing away, Jin Chengyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the machine polo he was holding tightly in his hand.
In the past few days, he tried to speak many times, but every time he realized that even if he spoke, there would be no results.
She is a bird in the sky, a flying Kun, and she can never be confined to his small world.
Jin Chengyuan turned around and faced his own country—but this small world was where his responsibility lay.
As the king of this land, he will use what he has learned here to realize his ambitions belonging to Dongluo.
As for everything that belongs to Da Sheng, perhaps he only needs to look at it in awe and distance.
The sea breeze blows and the chill has disappeared.
Pulling up the heavy anchor, hoisting the huge sail, and taking advantage of the spring east wind, Chang Sui Ning led 30,000 soldiers and embarked on a true triumphant return journey.
It happened to be the first day of March when the warship sailed into the Jiangdu coastline.
The news that Chang Suining led his army to dock here today was not announced in advance, but the nearby fishermen had guessed it from the news of martial law at the ferry, and they all waited here in advance.
When Chang Sui Ning Fu got off the boat, he saw a crowd of people and fishermen, and overwhelming cheers.
The ferry could not accommodate so many people, and most of the people were blocked outside by soldiers, so order was barely maintained.
Chu Xing came to greet him personally, and led his people to quickly step forward and salute, with a smile on his face and a powerful voice: "See you, girl!"
Chang Suining raised his hand and helped him up with a smile: "Uncle Chu, you are fine."
The next moment, a tall figure came like a violent wind.
Before Chang Suining could react, two big hands grabbed her shoulders and shook her joyfully: "...Xiao Suining, you are finally back!"
That's right.
After knowing that Chang Suining was His Highness, he and His Highness put the names "A Li" and "Little A Li" in their hearts and properly preserved them as a trace that belonged to A Li.
"Okay... don't shake any more, otherwise you won't get seasick, but you will faint in A Dian's hands." Chang Sui Ning, who was shaken into a sieve, begged A Dian for mercy.
Hearing Chang Suining's words, A Dian hurriedly helped her upright. Still too excited, he urged with a grin: "Let's go back quickly. Uncle Chang is impatient to wait. He has almost changed from General Chang to General Long Neck."
Got it!"
Chang Suining walked forward with him and asked funnyly: "Who taught you to tease you like this?"
A Dian opened his mouth to answer, but he didn't know what he thought of. He bent down with a mysterious look on his face, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered a name into Chang Suining's ear.
