A girl who has just been separated from her family looks miserable. This is human nature.
The Iron Masked General's hoarse voice seemed to soften a bit as he said, "I'm here to see Mr. Chen."
Chen Danzhu's eyes were full of gratitude: "I didn't expect that the only person who came to see my father off in the end was a general."
The Iron-faced General sat cross-legged and held tea. He didn't know whether he didn't intend to drink it or because there were outsiders around, so he spilled the tea on the ground.
"My face turned like this, and I have to thank Chen Taifu for standing by and watching." He said, "At that time, I was besieged by the Yanlu army. Chen Taifu and the generals of Zhou and Qi were watching, and they were very happy.
At that time, I thought, I hope that one day, I can look at these generals without fear and fawning."
The feud between the imperial court and the princes has been going on for decades - it was the imperial court that was humiliated everywhere before, but now it has been ten years east of Hedong and ten years west of Hexi.
It turned out that it was not to say goodbye, but to see the sad end of her enemy. Chen Danzhu was not ashamed or angry, because she had no expectations. Of course, she did not really think that the Iron Mask General was here to say goodbye to her father.
Chen Danzhu said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. It has passed. General, don't be sad."
Look at what she said. It was clear that the general was here to see his enemy defeated, but in her words, he turned into a condescending expression of pity. Zhu Lin glanced at her and realized that Miss Chen Er was causing trouble outside and was very arrogant in front of the general.
Even now, she still refuses to take any losses.
The iron-faced general chuckled: "Then I still want to say thank you?"
"General, I want to thank you." Chen Danzhu looked at him and said softly, "I want to thank your majesty for your wisdom and martial prowess, and thanking King Wu is not as good as the previous generation."
In short, it's not that he is better than Chen Liehu, it's just that they met different monarchs and had different fortunes.
She could tolerate her father being ridiculed and scolded by the people because the people didn't know, but forget about the Iron Mask General. He knew very well why Chen Liehu became like this.
The Iron-faced General sneered again: "One is missing, so I still have to thank Miss Danzhu."
After he said this, he saw Chen Danzhu, who had been speechless before, with his eyes drooped and tears falling down.
The Iron-faced General's brows furrowed behind his iron-faced face. He was crying no matter how hard he said it. He wasn't so upright just now - she was indeed Chen Liehu's daughter, fierce and stubborn.
"Thank you, Chen Danzhu, for not being a general." Chen Danzhu cried, "I know that for the things I did, I was not only abandoned by my father, but also ridiculed and disgusted by others. This was my own choice, and I should bear it.
I just beg you, general, for the sake of Chen Danzhu at least relieving your majesty and the general's worries for the court, please be merciful to Danzhu and don't ridicule him."
As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeves and cried loudly.
A Tian started crying next to her.
They were used to seeing flesh and blood fighting, but this was the first time they saw such a scene. The cries of the two girls were more frightening than the shouts of countless people on the battlefield. Zhu Lin and others looked around in embarrassment and confusion.
What will passers-by think when they see it? Fortunately, they have blocked the road in advance.
The Iron-faced General's body was a little stiff when he was sitting cross-legged, but he didn't say anything. It was obviously the girl who choked first——
"Okay." He said, adding one more thing, "You are indeed relieving the court's worries. This is a credit. You did the right thing. Your father and other ministers of King Wu did the wrong thing. Back then, Gaozu gave the princes and kings
The purpose of being granted the title of Taifu was to make them responsible for educating the princes and kings, but they allowed the princes and kings to be domineering and domineering. Think of Wu Taifu, who died in Lu State, heroic and unjust, and his family, because your father -
—That’s all, let’s not talk about the past.”
In fact, he never came back to tell them what his father had done. In front of his children, he was just a loving father. This loving father killed other fathers and the parents of his children——
It turns out that the death of the family of the Tutor of Lu was related to her father. Li Liang harmed their family. She was able to survive for ten years to take revenge, and was reborn to change the tragic fate of her family. Then if Taifu Wu's descendants survived,
, are we going to kill their family too——
well.
Chen Danzhu covered up his complicated feelings and wiped away tears: "Thank you, General. With these words from the General, Danzhu will be able to survive."
It seemed like she was living well without him saying this. The Iron-faced General stood up and said, "Taifu Chen is indeed guilty, but as long as he realizes that he has lost his way and returned home, Your Majesty will not hold him accountable."
Chen Danzhu looked at General Iron Mask: "Really? Really?"
The Iron-faced General glanced at her: "What's wrong with this, I—"
"The general's words are worth a thousand pieces of gold!" Chen Danzhu burst into tears and smiled, pinching his fingers and looking at him, "My father and the others have returned to Xijing. I wonder if the general's words can also be told to Xijing. My father is in Wudu.
He is a treacherous royal minister, and when he arrives in Xijing, he is a disobedient court official who disobeys the orders of the great ancestor."
Before the Iron Masked General could speak, she cried again.
"I know my father is guilty, but my uncle and grandmother are so pitiful. I hope they can survive."
The iron-faced general said, "I'd like to say hello to you."
Chen Danzhu thanked him and then said: "Your Majesty is not in Xijing, who is in charge? I grew up in Wudu and know nothing about Xijing, but I heard that the sixth prince is generous and kind -"
Before she finished speaking, the iron-faced general who stood up suddenly looked over.
"Sixth Prince?" he asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you know the Sixth Prince? Where did you hear that he is generous and kind?"
It's not a big deal for the emperor's son to be known to others. Chen Danzhu did not panic and said seriously: "I just heard it from people. There are many people coming and going down the mountain these days. His Majesty is in Wudi, and everyone has begun to talk about the imperial court.
As for the matter, princes are often mentioned. Your Majesty has six princes, and the sixth prince is the youngest. I heard that he is nineteen years old this year? "
The eyes behind the iron mask looked around her body, and the iron masked general said: "That's probably true. Your Majesty has many sons. I have been away all the time and can't remember how old they are."
Does being away from home all the time mean that you are not familiar with the princes? Do you reject her request? Chen Danzhu was thinking wildly in his mind when he heard General Iron Mask ask again, "What did everyone say about the other princes?"
Chen Danzhu said hurriedly: "The other princes are also very good." He lowered his head and murmured in explanation, "I think the sixth prince is the youngest, so it might be best to talk - after all, there have been so many years of entanglements between the imperial court and the princes.
The older the princes know, the more they know how wronged your Majesty has been and how much trouble the court has suffered, and they will hate the princes and kings. After all, my father is the king of Wu——"
At this point, his voice started to cry again. The Iron-faced General said hurriedly: "I understand." He turned around and stepped forward, "I will say hello to you over there. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about your father."
Chen Danzhu thanked him happily: "Thank you so much, General. With these words from General, Danzhu is really relieved."
The iron-faced general hummed twice and walked towards the horse, followed by Chen Danzhu.
"Well, General, you see, now it's what I told the General." She sighed, "No matter how cute I am, I am no longer my father's treasure. My father doesn't want me now -"
The girl would either cry or laugh suddenly, and talk a lot when she wasn't crying or laughing. The Iron-faced General shouted, grabbed the reins and mounted his horse, listening to the girl continue talking behind him.
She said: "——Fortunately, the general takes good care of me. How about Danzhu recognize the general as his adoptive father?"
The Iron-faced General missed the mark and almost fell down while mounting his horse for the first time in his life. He turned back to look at Chen Danzhu, his mask blocking his astonished face.
