The children stationed at the head of the village felt that the atmosphere in the village was different today.
There were some people standing in front of the home of the lame old man Chen. Although they were not wearing armor, they looked very impressive.
But it doesn't matter. Ever since the lame old man Chen turned into a general, there have been people with extraordinary aura coming and going outside the door.
They should stop being distracted and guard their posts well, and they will become powerful people in the future.
The children straightened their backs and held wooden guns - this was Old Man Chen, no, Old General Chen made it for them himself.
Chu Yurong's back in the yard was also as straight as a spear. Although he had always been like this, it was still a little tense at this time.
Chen Danzhu reached out and poked his back, laughing.
Chen Danyan pulled away her sister's hand angrily, and then said with a smile to Chu Yurong: "Go quickly, father is in the backyard, I have told him, he is waiting to see you."
Chu Yurong nodded and took a step forward.
Chen Danzhu put his hands to his mouth from behind: "Do you want me to accompany you? I am my father's treasure. If he is dissatisfied with you, I can help you."
Chu Yurong pulled the girl's hand from his mouth: "You are also my treasure. General Chen and I are both heroes who know treasures. We heroes cherish each other."
Chu Yurong nodded and walked towards the backyard.
Although he said this, Chen Danzhu was still a little nervous when he saw Chu Yurong going to the backyard.
"Sister," she asked, "have you prepared tea? Let me send it over."
Chen Danyan sat her down: "Sit down honestly, what do you have to worry about? You don't know how your father treats you? You don't know how His Highness treats you?"
They all regarded her as a treasure. Chen Danzhu smiled and sat happily in the yard.
The atmosphere in the backyard was indeed not tense. Chen Liehu and Chu Yurong did not even talk about Chen Danzhu. After meeting the emperor and his ministers, Chen Liehu continued sawing wood. Chu Yurong did not feel that he was being left out and started to attack.
"Your Highness actually knows this skill." Chen Liehu couldn't help but ask after seeing his skillful movements.
Chu Yurong smiled: "This craft has been with me for many years."
The royal children had no worries about food and clothing, so it was inevitable that they would have some weird hobbies. Chen Liehu said nothing.
Chu Yurong handed him a piece of prepared wood: "Old man Chen, Danzhu is following me, don't worry."
Chen Liehu looked a little disappointed: "Actually, I don't care whoever Danzhu follows, because it is her choice."
Chu Yurong said softly: "I understand what the old general means. This is indeed the choice of Danzhu and I, but we will be happier if we can have the blessings of our relatives and make them happy."
Chen Liehu looked at him and said: "Your Highness, our family is very happy to know that you are here for Danzhu."
Chu Yurong had a big smile on his face and bowed his hands: "Thank you, General Chen."
Chen Liehu accepted his courtesy and lowered his head to continue sawing the wood. Chu Yurong helped him take care of the wood and then stood up to leave.
Chen Liehu did not try to persuade him to stay, and sent him off with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Chu Yurong walked a few steps and suddenly heard Chen Liehu speak behind him.
"When did he pass away?"
Chu Yurong's body froze at these inexplicable words.
He knew who Chen Liehu was talking about.
Regarding General Iron Mask, Chu Yurong did not intend to tell the world, and naturally he would not mention it to Chen Liehu, let alone Chen Danzhu. Unexpectedly, Chen Liehu still noticed it.
Chu Yurong turned his head: "Tianyuan three years."
Chen Liehu asked: "Why?"
Chu Yurong stretched out his hand and pressed his abdomen: "The old injury here has recurred, it's coming with a fierce force, and his body can't support it."
Chen Liehu murmured: "Sure enough, the wound there killed him." But the next moment he nodded casually, "That's right, at that time he covered the wound and killed hundreds of rounds in King Yan's army. I originally thought
He could only last a few hundred rounds, but he didn't expect to last until the third year of Tianyuan."
After saying that, he laughed.
"Okay, okay, okay."
After saying these three good words, he picked up the saw and continued to work. After finishing the farm tool, he went to the border. The official document from the court had arrived, and he wanted to pursue the Xiliang soldiers and attack the Xiliang king's tent.
Chu Yurong didn't say anything anymore, turned around and walked out in stride.
"Danzhu——" With a smile on his face, he wanted to tell her Chen Liehu's blessing.
But there was no sign of the girl in the yard.
Where is Danzhu?
Chen Danyan was a little helpless: "Your Highness, Danzhu has something to go out for."
What's the matter? Chu Yurong was puzzled.
Zhu Lin ran in at this time. Although he had good physical strength, his breath was a little unstable after running all the way. He gasped: "Your Highness, I saw Qing Feng."
Qingfeng? Chu Yurong was startled.
"Qingfeng passed by just now." Zhulin said, looking wary, "Why is Qingfeng here?"
Isn't Qing Feng an accomplice of Zhou Xuan? Zhou Xuan's murder of the emperor was suppressed by the emperor, but Zhou Xuan's followers were all guilty.
Chu Yurong said: "Qingfeng wanted to report Zhou Xuan at that time, but he was injured by Zhou Xuan and imprisoned, so he was sent back to the Northern Army. At this time, he was in the vanguard army fighting against the Xiliang soldiers."
Zhu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, that's no problem.
Chu Yurong's brows did not loosen. There was no problem with Qingfeng, but in addition to Qingfeng coming to Xijing, Zhou Xuan also came. It was obvious that Qingfeng came to tell Chen Danzhu the news. Then Danzhu, she
I'm going to see Zhou Xuan.
Chu Yurong laughed again. His Danzhu really didn't want to wrong him, so she talked sweetly to him and turned around to meet other men.
.....
.....
Qingfeng asked the children at the entrance of the village to invite Chen Danzhu.
When he heard that Qingfeng was coming, Chen Danzhu ran out to see him without hesitation.
Qingfeng told her that Zhou Xuan was back and was guarding Zhou Qing's tomb.
He walked back and forth several times, but in the end he did not see his young master.
"I am His Majesty's Northern Army and also the young master's bodyguard. The young master committed regicide. I don't know how to face him. The young master probably doesn't want to see me either."
The young guard's face no longer had the breeze-like smile, and his expression was sad.
Chen Danzhu sighed softly: "He doesn't want to see you, not because he hates you, but because he doesn't want to be involved with the past anymore."
Qingfeng nodded: "I understand, but Miss Danzhu, the master should still want to see you." He lowered his head, "The master has not seen you for a long time, although he used to go outside your home almost every day."
In fact, Chen Danzhu knew about this, Zhu Lin told her.
Chen Danzhu nodded silently: "I'll go see him."
Hearing what she said, a smile finally appeared on Qingfeng's face, and he pointed out the specific way for Chen Danzhu to take. After giving a solemn salute to Chen Danzhu, he mounted his horse and walked away briskly.
Chen Danzhu followed Qingfeng's instructions and rode a horse with a guard. Before Zhulin came, she called Chu Yurong's guard, but the guard didn't ask and just followed her orders.
Zhou Qing's tomb was not far outside the capital. Chen Danzhu found it quickly. From a distance, he saw a man sitting in front of the tomb, holding a hammer in his hand and clanking.
Chen Danzhu walked over and looked at his back, and saw that he was wearing black cloth, stained with gravel and dust, like a mason.
He is beating the floor tiles.
"Do you want to practice this?" Chen Danzhu asked.
Zhou Xuan must have known that she was coming, but he never looked back, and the movements of his hands did not stop. He turned around when he heard Chen Danzhu speak.
His eyes were fixed on her, and he immediately snorted: "You are dressed so beautifully, what are you doing?"
Chen Danzhu smiled: "I don't do anything. I look good no matter what I wear."
Zhou Xuan sneered, turned around and continued to knock on the floor tiles: "Some of the floor tiles in front of my father's tomb are broken, let me repair them."
Chen Danzhu hummed and stood back silently, as if he didn't know what to say.
It was Zhou Xuan who raised his finger and pointed to the side: "Look, there are all the books I want to read over there."
Chen Danzhu looked to the side. That was where the tombkeeper lived. There were several bookshelves next to the door, filled with books.
"So many?" she asked in surprise, "Can you read them all?"
"Of course ordinary people can't." Zhou Xuan said with a bit of pride, "But I, Zhou Xuan, am a very good scholar."
Chen Danzhu was suspicious: "Isn't it? It's not that you're not good at studying. If you don't study well, you're afraid of hard work. That's why you went to the study to be lazy, and then you encountered the assassination of His Majesty and your father."
She told the matter calmly like this. Zhou Xuan's expression was slightly startled, and then he stood up angrily: "Who said you can't be afraid of hard work when studying. I'm afraid of hard work. I didn't go to the study to sleep, but to find a warm and comfortable place."
There’s a place to study!”
Chen Danzhu waved his hand: "I won't say it anymore, let's see how you do it. I'll come and see how your reading goes."
Zhou Xuan laughed heartily: "Can you understand?"
Chen Danzhu said: "Don't underestimate me, I'm also very powerful. Just wait and see." After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."
She turned around and walked slowly with her hands behind her back.
She turned her back, and Zhou Xuan could look at her more intently, watching the girl take one step, two steps, and three steps -
"Chen Danzhu!" He couldn't help shouting.
Chen Danzhu stopped and turned to look at him.
"Chu Xiurong told me that you wanted to go with him." Zhou Xuan asked, "Why don't you ask if you want to study with me?"
Huh? He actually knew it too. Chen Danzhu said: "Chu Xiurong looks like a humble gentleman, how can he tell small talk to others?"
She didn't answer the question.
Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows and answered for her: "You are afraid that I will agree to you. You know that Chu Xiurong will not agree to you, but I am different. Chen Danzhu, if you dare to ask, I will dare to agree. In your heart
Very clear.”
Chen Danzhu hummed in annoyance: "What! So what if I know better." After saying that, he stomped away.
Zhou Xuan looked at the girl's back, laughed, and did not call her again.
It's enough that you know me in your heart.
He watched the girl walk away, mounted his horse, and walked away briskly under the escort of a guard——
Zhou Xuan withdrew his gaze, put down the hammer in his hand, shook the dust off his clothes, walked to the tomb guard's room, casually pulled out a book, sat on the floor, opened it and read it carefully.
His life started all over again from the moment he hid in the closet and read.
.....
.....
Chen Danzhu hurried home, thinking that his father and Chu Yurong were chatting happily and endlessly - it would be okay if they didn't get along. Chu Yurong would have to say more to convince his father. In short, if they talked more, they would be fine.
You won't find her coming out this time.
But when she just arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw Chu Yurong standing under the big tree, holding a child's wooden gun in his hand.
"Your Highness." Chen Danzhu praised first, "With you guarding the sentry post for us, it is really difficult for thousands of troops to defeat us."
Chu Yurong glanced at her, without asking her where she was going. He put down the wooden gun and extended his hand to her.
Chen Danzhu did not show that he was omnipotent this time. He handed her hand to Chu Yurong in a delicate gesture, and then he hugged her with the other hand and lifted her off the horse.
After hugging the horse, Chu Yurong did not let go of his hand. Chen Danzhu felt guilty and decided to let him hold her.
Chu Yurong rubbed his chin against the girl's hair and couldn't help but laugh: "Chen Danzhu, Chen Danzhu——"
Chen Danzhu himself also laughed.
"I'm going back first." Chu Yurong said.
Chen Danzhu was a little nervous and grabbed his hand: "Is there anything going on in the capital?"
Chu Yurong shook her hand and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "No, the capital is very nice. I am anxious to go back and let my father issue a decree to arrange our marriage."
Chen Danzhu looked at his handsome face, buried her head in his chest again, and said in a muffled voice: "Then I'll wait for you to marry me at home."
