They all say I'm a puppet

Now that the promise had been made, Cang Lin naturally kept his word, and set up a banquet that night to welcome Xun Cheng.

Xun Cheng slept all afternoon, and when he reappeared, he had already changed his clothes that were stained with wind, frost, rain and dew all the way. He looked refreshed, as if he had traveled thousands of miles to the Southwest not for the sake of his hand. Blade enemies, but purely for sightseeing.

Cang Lin has always kept his word, even though alcohol is banned in the army, he has almost never drank alcohol since he arrived in the southwest, but today he broke this rule because of Xun Cheng.As one of the largest cities in the Southwest, Hanyang City has experienced some wars, but as long as you put in some effort, there will always be some gains.Canglin sent Jing Yi to search casually in the prefect's mansion, and found several jars of good wine, which he just took out to entertain Xun Cheng.

In Fu Yu's impression, Cang Lin didn't like to drink alcohol. During the years when the two of them were in the palace, they rarely drank alcohol except for the New Year's Eve. Fu Yu never saw Cang Lin drink again during the night's "Hexing Wine" and some banquets that he had to attend.

But at this moment, Cang Lin was holding the wine cup, chatting and drinking with Xun Cheng, it was indescribably wanton.Fu Yu ate the food, looked at the two with his head tilted for a while, and became a little interested, reached out and took the jug and poured himself a glass of wine, but before the wine cup was brought to his lips, he was caught The person next to him pressed his wrist, and Fu Yu suddenly turned his head to stare at Cang Lin: "What's wrong?"

"You don't have a good capacity for drinking, so just taste it." Cang Lin said, brought the wine cup over and took a big sip, leaving only a shallow bottom of the cup before handing it back to Fu Yu's hand.

Fu Yu glanced down at the bottom of the glass, and looked at Cang Lin in disbelief: "You are too... No matter how bad my drinking capacity is, it's not so bad. If you count carefully, I've drank less than a few times before. Quite a few, when have you ever been really drunk?"

Cang Lin glanced at him, drank the wine in his glass, and then said slowly: "In the palace banquet on August [-]th in the third year of Chunxi, you drank more than half of the pot of rice wine and fell asleep." Cang Lin raised his eyes slowly, he drank a lot of wine during this time, and there was a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, "This sleep lasted for more than two years."

Fu Yu slowly withdrew his hand to grab the jug, and handed his own cup to Cang Lin's hand: "Well, I just don't want to drink."

Fu Yu has always known that dying in front of Cang Lin that day has always been a knot in Cang Lin's heart. The feeling of losing his beloved has tormented Cang Lin for nearly two years, so even if Fu Yu has returned to him now, Cang Lin's heart is full of pain. Lin still couldn't forget that feeling.Occasionally, when Fu Yu wakes up from her sleep, she always finds herself held tightly in Cang Lin's arms, as if subconsciously, Cang Lin is still worried that she will lose the person in her arms.

He has no way to resolve Cang Lin's hidden worries in his heart in a short time, so he can only guard him all the time, let him know that he will always be by his side, and will never leave again.

Cang Lin turned his head to see his obedient look, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and leaned over to press a kiss on Fu Yu's face.Xun Cheng, who had been drinking quietly by the side, finally couldn't bear the two people's look of you and me, and coughed lightly: "It's almost enough, after all, it's my welcome banquet, not the two big wedding banquets."

Fu Yu laughed, and poured wine for the two of them with the jug, seeing how Cang Lin grabbed the wine glass familiarly, couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "But I just discovered that your drinking capacity is much higher than I thought it was much better."

Before Cang Lin could speak, Xun Cheng laughed first: "During the period when Emperor Chunxi just 'died', Cang Lin didn't eat a grain of rice almost all day long, but he never left the cup and carried a bottle of wine every day. Pot, squatting on the roof of Changle Palace and drinking, it is a dazzling scenery in the palace. Drinking capacity must have been practiced at that time."

Fu Yu glanced at Cang Lin with a complicated look in his eyes, Cang Lin stretched out his hand and patted his hand: "If you're full, I'll help you, don't stay here with us, anyway, this man has nothing to say if."

Xun Cheng curled his lips, raised the wine cup in his hand and drank it down, and directly took the wine pot from Fu Yu's hand: "I don't dare to keep young master here, but if this wine is enough for today, I will be satisfied .”

Cang Lin is actually in a good mood today, he has grown up so much, apart from his relationship with Fu Yu, Xun Cheng is also on good terms with him, even though he doesn't show it on weekdays.Now that the war has reached the current stage, the chances of victory are in his hands, friends come from thousands of miles away, and they can have a drink and talk happily; the people he cares about are always by his side, and this is enough for Cang Lin.

The three of them were drinking and chatting, when the door was knocked suddenly, Cang Lin squeezed the wine glass in his hand, frowned and said: "What's the matter?"

"Report to Marshal, urgent report from the army."

Cang Lin sighed for a long time, put down the wine glass in his hand, met Shang Xun Cheng's eyes, and said to the outside: "Send it in."

The door of the room was opened from the outside, and the messenger hurried in from the outside, cupped his hands and said: "Marshal, there is news from Tongchang City, and the secret sentry found that a small group of people came out of Xiping City the night before and went straight to the direction of Xili Kingdom. General Li was worried that Xiping City had another plan, so he ordered people to follow up quietly, but found that the small group of people seemed to be protecting someone in a carriage, so he personally led people to chase them until they were caught. After catching him, he found out that the people in the carriage were actually Chen Yuan's wife and daughter. Now that General Li had imprisoned them in Tongchang City, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he ordered his subordinates to report to him. marshal."

Cang Lin didn't expect that what he heard was such a news, he was stunned, Fu Yu had already stood up, he lowered his head to stare and said first: "You mean, General Li captured Chen Yuan's wife and daughter, and put Are they imprisoned in Tongchang City?"

The messenger raised his eyes to look at Fu Yu, then turned his head to look at Cang Lin, and saw Cang Lin nodded before replying: "Yes, my lord, Chen Yuan's wife and daughter are now in Tongchang City."

Fu Yu bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly, "Are they... not hurt?"

"The people Chen Yuan sent to escort their mother and daughter were all loyal. When General Li led people there, they tried their best to protect the two people, so they stayed in the carriage at that time, unscathed. Afterwards, General Li learned of this. After the identity of the two, I remembered that I heard that Chen Yuan cared more about his wife and daughter, and felt that their mother and daughter were still useful. Moreover, my subordinates heard that General Li had some contact with Chen Yuan's wife in the previous court, so I just put them under house arrest, provided them with food and drink, and didn't hurt them." The messenger replied truthfully.

Only then did Fu Yu feel relieved, slowly sat back on the chair, took Cang Lin's wine cup over, took a big sip of wine, Cang Lin glanced at him, and finally just stretched out his hand and patted his hand, He nodded towards the messenger: "I see, you go down first, this matter... is of great importance, after I think about it, I will write back to General Li."

"Yes, Marshal." The messenger took the order and retreated, leaving the three people in the room relatively silent.

After a long time, Xun Cheng spoke first: "Don't look at me like that, I am the person with the most clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and the enmity between me and Chen Yuan will never be counted on his wife and daughter. Especially I know that when I was in the palace, Princess Yongning has taken great care of you, and she is your only blood relative, so I will not interfere with how you two deal with the two of them."

Cang Lin patted Xun Cheng's shoulder, and looked at Fu Yu: "I'll send someone to pick them up first, let you meet each other, and then discuss the follow-up matters?"

Fu Yu sat at the table with lowered eyes, and shook his head after a while: "Chen Yuan must have found out that his wife and daughter have fallen into our hands, and there will inevitably be accidents on the way to pick them up now." With a long sigh, he looked up at Cang Lin, "It's only half a day's journey from Hanyang City to Tongchang City, I think it's better for me to go to Tongchang City and see their mother and daughter in person."

Cang Lin looked at Fu Yu, no one knew this person better than him, he was extraordinarily gentle in many things, he didn't seem to care about anything, but in many things, he had his own persistence: "Well, tomorrow morning Let's set off, go to Tongchang City together, and give General Li an answer in person."

Fu Yu hesitated slightly: "But the military affairs of Hanyang City..."

"The things that need to be dealt with are almost the same, and I can deal with the rest wherever I am." Cang Lin said, "I thought it would take some time before we can take action against Xiping City, but now these two are in our hands I'm afraid there will be some action from Chen Yuan soon, I will go to Tongchang City, and if there is any difference in Xiping City, I can respond immediately."

Fu Yu thought for a while, and finally seemed to be persuaded by Cang Lin, then nodded: "The war in Jingling City should also end, and it's time to prepare for a decisive battle with Chen Yuan."

While the two of them were talking, Xun Cheng was drinking wine beside him, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Speaking of which, then I should pack up and go to Tongchang City with you." The jug, filled the wine cups of the three of them, "It seems that today's reception banquet is here. This glass of wine should be a toast to our trip, and we will settle all the chaos and win the victory." return."

Cang Lin didn't stop Fu Yu this time, the three of them each had a glass of wine, touched each other lightly, and then drank it all in one gulp.Xun Cheng snatched away the wine pot on the table and waved at the two of them: "Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."
