The Iron Masked General suddenly arrived in the capital without any trace, but suddenly shocked the capital.
When he walked to the palace, the whole capital knew that he was coming. With his troops, he first beat more than thirty people half to death and sent them to prison, and then sent Chen Danzhu, who was expelled by the emperor, back to Taohua.
Mountain--
It was impossible for the emperor to pretend that he didn't know he was missing. The officials all came in droves. Firstly, they were impressed by the majesty of General Iron Mask and wanted to greet him. Secondly, they were curious about General Iron Mask who made so much noise as soon as he entered the capital. What did he want to do?
Zhou Xuan was not among them. He was not afraid of the power of General Iron Mask, nor was he curious about General Iron Mask's actions. He sat on the wall of Peach Blossom Temple and watched Chen Danzhu busy in the yard, instructing the maids and maids to return the luggage.
, this should be placed like this, that should be placed like this, busy pointing, chirping and clucking——
Zhou Xuan sneered.
I never saw this girl care so much about these things when she left. Even if she didn't take anything with her, she wouldn't pay attention to it. It can be seen that she was restless and empty, and didn't care about external objects. Now, even if she puts an inkstone there, she has to worry about it.
I have a backer, I have something to rely on, my mind is stable, I have nothing to do, nothing causes trouble——
Chen Danzhu raised his head and looked at him in his busy schedule: "You have laughed hundreds of times, which is almost enough. I know you came to see me having fun but didn't see it, and I felt unhappy -"
After saying that, he laughed to himself.
Zhou Xuan looked at the swaying and arrogant girl standing in the yard, pondered and examined her, and asked: "Why are you acting like this in front of General Iron Mask?"
Chen Danzhu stared: "What?" He seemed to have thought of it again, and smiled, "Bullying others with power? Mr. Zhou, what you asked is really funny. You have known me for so long, haven't I always been bullying others with power?"
Zhou Xuan touched his chin: "Yes, it has always been the case, but it is different. You never cried like this when General Iron Mask was away. You always pretended to be fierce and domineering. This is the first time you pretended to be wronged."
Chen Danzhu was immediately angry and refused: "What do you mean by pretending? I am telling the truth." Then he sneered, "Why didn't you cry when the general was not around? Zhou Xuan, pat your conscience and say, I am in front of you."
Cry, will you not let people fight with me or force you to buy my house?"
Zhou Xuan looked at her, as if he was imagining the girl crying in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know, come and see if you cry."
Chen Danzhu was furious and called Zhulin: "Beat him out. No need to worry about whether he is injured or disabled - there will be an iron-faced general taking care of you!"
Zhou Xuan did not test the Iron Mask's bottom line. When the guards in the bamboo forest surrounded him, he jumped off the wall and left.
Chen Danzhu watched the young man disappear on the wall and hummed an order: "He is not allowed to go up the mountain in the future." He then thoughtfully said to Zhu Lin, "If he relies on the number of people to cheat, let's go and ask the general for more bravery."
guard."
Let the guards go, Zhu Lin shouted in his heart, turned over and jumped onto the roof, not wanting to pay attention to Chen Danzhu anymore.
Chen Danzhu didn't care, and looked back to see A Tian standing in the corridor holding two bundles.
"Miss." She complained, "If we had known that the general would come back, we wouldn't have packed so many things."
Ah Tian was still too polite. Chen Danzhu said with a smile: "If I had known that the general would come back, I wouldn't even be able to go down the mountain, let alone clean up. I would beat anyone who chases me away."
A Dian Dian nodded: "Yes, the lady is right."
Listening to the arrogant remarks of the master and servant in the yard, Zhu Lin squatted on the roof and sighed. Not to mention that Zhou Xuan felt that Chen Danzhu had changed. He also felt the same. He originally thought that when the general came back, he would be able to control Miss Danzhu.
, there won’t be so many troubles anymore, but now it feels like there will be more and more troubles.
Compared to the noisy and lively atmosphere of Peach Blossom Temple, Zhou Xuan could feel the solemnity and stagnation even before he entered the main hall.
There were many people in the palace, including civil and military officials, the emperor and the prince, and their eyes were focused on the old general sitting at the head of the emperor.
The old general sat on the brocade cushion, with his armor removed, only wearing a dusty robe and a helmet on his head. A few strands of gray hair were scattered and hanging down his shoulders. An iron mask covered his entire face, and his shoulders were hunched.
It looks like a vulture.
I don’t know what was said, but the palace was silent at this time. Zhou Xuan was going to sneak in quietly from the side and sit at the end, but the emperor, who seemed to have nowhere to focus his eyes, saw him at a glance, and immediately sat up straight, and finally
Found a way to break the silence.
"Axuan!" the emperor shouted in a deep voice, "Where have you been wandering? The general is back. I sent people to call you, but you can't be found."
Zhou Xuan hurriedly bowed down and prostrated, shouting that he was wronged: "I didn't know that the general was back today. He said before that there were still seven or eight days left. I went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to train troops and horses so that the general could come back for review."
Then he looked at General Iron Mask, paying homage with the etiquette of a subordinate, and complained like a nephew and junior, "General, why did you come back quietly? Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have been rehearsing for a long time how to reward the three armies, so let's
General, you are respected by everyone in the world."
As expected, only Zhou Xuan could tell what was in his heart. The emperor nodded reservedly and looked at the Iron Masked General.
The iron-faced general said: "No, it's just that I came back first, and the three armies are still behind. When the time comes, we can still reward the three armies."
What he said made sense, and the emperor coughed lightly.
Zhou Xuan immediately said: "Then the general's appearance was not as glorious as originally expected." He smiled meaningfully, "It would be fine if the general came back quietly, but now - when it is time to reward the three armies, the general
It’s no longer possible to quietly return to the three armies.”
Everyone here knows what Zhou Xuan said. The previous cold scene was also because an official asked General Iron Mask if he hit someone. General Iron Mask directly asked him if he blocked the way and shouldn't he hit?
After all, people with the status of General Iron Mask, especially those who lead troops when traveling, are responsible for clearing areas and clearing roads. Anyone who dares to offend can be killed without mercy on charges of espionage.
The official said angrily that it was fine if that was the case, but the man blocked the road because Chen Danzhu had a dispute with him. The general's actions would inevitably attract criticism.
The iron-faced general still asked: Is it because Chen Danzhu had a dispute with someone and blocked the road, so he couldn't hit someone? Is it because of Chen Danzhu that he should ignore the law and military regulations?
The official who asked the question was dumbfounded. He felt that what he said made sense and was speechless to refute. You are the only one——
The atmosphere was awkward and stagnant for a while.
Now Zhou Xuan turned the topic to this topic again, and the frustrated officials immediately cheered up again.
The iron-faced general faced Zhou Xuan's roundabout words and simply said: "What I want in my life is to calm down the chaos of the princes and kings, and make the country peaceful and peaceful for the people. This is the most glorious moment. Apart from that, it doesn't matter whether it is silent or infamy."
Well, it doesn’t matter.”
This is even more correct. Zhou Xuan raised his hand and saluted: "The general is mighty, and the younger generation can learn from it."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was really wrong, the prince could no longer watch.
"General," he said, "Everyone's questioning is not against you, General, but because of Chen Danzhu."
