They all say I'm a puppet

After all, there was a delay of more than ten days from the southwest all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how slow the marching speed of the army was, they would still reach the capital one day. Therefore, they settled down with Fuzhi and her daughter, and saw that they did not reject the new life in the future. Forget it, so even though Fu Yu really wanted to stay and stay with Cheng Zhong and the others for a few more days, and even though Cang Lin enjoyed the leisurely life in the fishing village, the two of them were still on the morning of the third day. Had to go home.

Cheng Zhong got up before dawn, and worked hard in the kitchen all morning, not letting anyone in to help, until it was dawn, when he opened the door of the kitchen and came out with two plates of dumplings.

Fu Yu was squatting at the door of the kitchen talking to Shi Shi who had come over earlier, seeing the two plates of dumplings in Cheng Zhong's hands and couldn't help but feel his heart soften, so he took the dumplings and walked into the room and said, "Not young Improper, why did you wake up early in the morning and make trouble?"

Cheng Zhong shook his head: "There is a custom in my hometown that you must eat dumplings before going far away, so that the journey can be safe and sound." He raised his hand and patted Fuyu's shoulder lightly, "Life is loyal to you like now. Uncle didn't even dare to think about it before, I'm old and I have nothing else to hope for, so I hope you two will be safe and successful, "

Fu Yu looked down at the dumplings in his hand, only to feel his eyes slightly sore, two plates of dumplings may not be a big deal, but they are all Cheng Zhong's hopes and hopes.

Fu Yu never ate much when he got up early, but this day he ate a whole plate of dumplings. Then he put down the empty plate, got up and hugged Cheng Zhong gently, and said in a low voice, "The two of us will get together as soon as possible." After dealing with the affairs of the capital, if you are willing, I will come back and pick you up to reunite with us." While speaking, he licked his lips and whispered, "Anyway, you must take care of yourself."

Cheng Zhong bent the corners of his eyes, and patted Fu Yu on the back in the posture of hugging him. The thin boy in his memory had grown taller, standing in front of him, more like a backbone.Before he knew it, he began to shield him from the wind and rain.

After all, he is not a boy from an ordinary background. Even if he grows up in an ordinary way, he still has the blood of Nanxia Fu's family in his body, so he is doomed to live an ordinary life.

That's fine, after all, it's the right year, so I shouldn't have spent the rest of my life in this small fishing village so early, and I should have more different experiences.Do what you want to do, and keep the people you care about.

Fu Yu only asked Cheng Zhong and the others to send him to the gate of the courtyard, but he resolutely refused to let them send him another step. In the end, only one stone insisted on following him to the entrance of the village.

Jing Yi and the others were already waiting there with the horse. Fu Yu stepped forward and gently smoothed the horse's mane, and looked back at the stone: "Okay, go back quickly, we are leaving too. Remember to read and read well, and help me Look after Uncle Zhong and the others."

Shitou nodded seriously, with clear reluctance in his eyes: "Brother Yu..." Before he finished speaking, he shrank his head subconsciously and hurriedly changed his words when he met God's gaze.

Although Cang Lin only stayed in Shijia Village for two days, he insisted on taking half a day to get along with Shitou, because in his heart, since Fuyu recognized this godson, Shitou was also his godson. Moreover, he still has one more thing to do, that is, to change Shitou's name for Fuyu.

A boy at Shitou's age already liked to follow those older brothers around, and even though Cang Lin had a dull personality and seldom talked, he was really capable. He only made a few random gestures in front of Shitou , so that most of the child's admiration for Fu Yu was transferred to Cang Lin.

Cang Lin finished speaking with Jing Yi, and touched the top of the stone casually: "Listen to your godfather, take good care of Uncle Zhong, and be filial to your parents. When you get older, if you want to go to the capital, I will Send someone to pick you up."

Shitou blinked, nodded obediently, looked at Cang Lin, then at Fu Yu, and whispered: "I will take good care of Grandpa Cheng, and I will take care of the new aunt and sister. I will also take good care of you." Reading and writing, godfather, you don’t have to worry.”

Fu Yu raised the corners of her lips, reached out and touched his head: "I know, I believe in stones."

Although Shishi seemed to have a lot to say, and although Fuyu still had a lot of worries in his heart, he finally got on his horse, waved at Shishi, turned his head to look at Cang Lin, and nodded gently: "Let's go."

Cang Lin raised his whip, the dismounted horse neighed long and hooved, and soon disappeared at the entrance of the village, leaving only a lonely figure of Shi Shi turning around slowly and walking towards the direction of the house.

Fu Yu felt that he might not have improved in anything else during this trip to the southwest with Cang Lin, but his riding skills must have improved. On the way back, he even tried to compete with Cang Lin in riding skills, and finally under Cang Lin's deliberate humility , narrowly won.

Maybe it's because there are people I like accompanying me all the way, so I don't feel tired and boring even though I travel long distances.The mountains, rivers and rivers along the way seem to have become witnesses, and the customs and customs that have passed have also become commemorations.After driving horses for several days, they finally joined the army outside Puyang City, and returned to the capital with the army.

The news that King He Canglin of Jin led his army to regain the southwest triumphantly spread throughout the capital, and the people in the city rushed to the city to watch.In order to show the importance attached to the triumphant army, He Hongyi specially sent Prince He Zheqi out of the city to greet him on behalf of the emperor.

Cang Lin dismounted from his horse, bowed his hands to He Zheqi and saluted: "Brother Lao Huang personally went out of the city to meet him, Cang Lin is truly ashamed."

He Zheqi stared closely at Cang Lin's face, and after a while he showed a slight smile, and stepped forward to hold Cang Lin's arm: "Third brother, this is too polite, you are leading the army this time, so The successful recapture of the Southwest is truly a great contribution to my Southern Xia. As the Crown Prince, it is only natural for me to go out of the city to welcome you on behalf of my father, but it is a pity that I could not go to the Southwest with you at the beginning, otherwise you and my brothers would fight the enemy side by side , even more joyful."

Cang Lin smiled and said, "Brother Huang is absurd. I am young and short-sighted. Thanks to a few generals, the battle went so smoothly, and I was able to live up to my father's expectations and return victorious."

He Zheqi blinked slightly, and was about to greet Cang Lin, when Wu Ying, who had been standing quietly behind him, suddenly said, "The Marshal is too modest to say this. Your Highness is here, and relying on us reckless men, we may not be able to win the Southwest for another year."

Seeing Wu Ying open his mouth, Sun Gan on the side couldn't help but agree: "That's right, that's right, others don't know why the marshal is so modest, but the brothers can see the marshal's performance in the army. I, Sun Qian I have fought for most of my life, and I have never served anyone other than His Majesty back then, and the marshal really convinced me this time."

He Zheqi frowned subconsciously, and his eyes fell on Cang Lin's face again. In his opinion, his brother was no different from the past, but he didn't know if it was because of the praise of these people, but it was quite different. Kind of high-spirited.He couldn't help but think of what his father-in-law said to him before going out, maybe his younger brother is really not as simple as it seems.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more irritable in his heart. He only felt that his position as the crown prince was getting more and more unstable. He Yinzhi was enough to make him worry. The younger brother who thought he was worry-free now didn't look like that either. Good stubble, plus the one who is about to be born in the womb of Concubine Lin in the palace... What makes him even more uneasy is that he feels that his father's attitude is becoming more and more unclear, and his love for that Concubine Lin is increasing day by day, so that The little cub in his belly already had various rewards before he was born. If he was born, he might be pampered.

There is also this cheap younger brother in front of him. Their return from this great victory really made their father, Emperor Long, very happy, and he was overwhelmed with various rewards. In addition, it seems that these generals have taken good care of him. He has heard of some people's petty thoughts, and now it seems that Cang Lin is going to gain a foothold in the court by virtue of the Southwest War.

Thinking of this, He Zheqi couldn't even hold back the smile on his lips. The more he looked at his cheap brother, the more he felt annoyed, and finally he managed to show a little smile: "Although I have a lot to say and want to talk to my third brother, but after all, my father The emperor and all the ministers are still waiting in the palace, so we will go to the palace first, as for you and my brother, there will be more time to talk about the old days in the future."

"It's natural, then let's go." Cang Lin said, making a gesture of invitation, letting He Zheqi to the front, then got on his horse, and followed He Zheqi into the city.

Long before approaching the capital, Cang Lin ordered Jing Yi Jingfeng and others to send Fu Yu back to the mansion directly, and enter the palace to receive the reward.As early as on the way back, he had anticipated the situation in the capital, and seeing He Zheqi's expression now, he felt that it was similar to what he had imagined before.After the Southwest War, it was impossible for him to show weakness as before. His two elder brothers, those in the court, turned their attention to him.

However, he no longer intends to show weakness.He already had the support of the army and enough confidence, and with the support of the old fox Su Kun, it was actually not difficult for him to deal with He Zheqi and He Yinzhi.

In fact, he never regarded the two brothers as opponents. After all, from the very beginning, his opponent was the person who sat high on the throne.
