old friends return

When General Han returned to Beijing, there were actually not many things to be busy here. After the welcome banquet, except for meeting the second prince twice, he spent most of the time with his wife, and almost no outsiders.General Han has always loved his wife very much. If it wasn't because Mrs. Han was weak, he would have taken Mrs. Han with him when he was sent to the west.

And Han Shuwen stayed at home for 20 days, apart from running to the East Palace every now and then, most of the time he also stayed at home peacefully with his mother.After all, he was still a child, facing his mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he started to get sticky after the unfamiliarity passed two days ago.

The holidays that Emperor Hengde had extra allowed were coming to an end. Mrs. Han was packing up the things for the upcoming departure with General Han. The two of them didn't say anything, they just packed quietly.However, Mrs. Han still couldn't hold back her emotions, and her eyes were red; she sighed: "You go, and you don't know when you will come back. Look at the book, I can hardly recognize this child when he comes back. Yes, it grows really fast..."

General Han stepped forward and shook his wife's hand and said: "Children are growing up, so they will grow fast. If there is nothing wrong with me when I go to the west, I can entrust some things to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. If there are some gaps, come back a few more times."

Mrs. Han shook her head, her tears couldn't stop rolling down: "It will take at least a month and a half to go back and forth from Anyang to Shengjing. The boat and the car are exhausting, so why bother? I only hate that my body can't bear it, otherwise I can get along with you." You go together." After speaking, he wiped away his tears and said: "General, when you come back this time, take the second prince to Anyang, be careful not to make any mistakes on the way, and as for the relationship with the second prince, remember not to be too serious. Get too close, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion."

General Han nodded naturally and agreed: "Madam will remember what Madam said as a husband. I have my own sense of propriety, so I don't need to worry too much." The two chatted some more privately, and the things were almost packed.Mrs. Han took out a vest she made for Han Shuwen a few days ago, and she needed to make it bigger. After measuring it on Shuwen yesterday, it was still too small...

There are still two days left before departure, Cheng Muxing packed his things earlier, and just happened to come over to the East Palace today when he was free, Bai Qing, who had been following all along, did not come today.Cheng Muxing granted him two days off, and Xu Buyun lived in his mansion for half a month. Although Cheng Muxing was not careful, he could more or less see that the relationship between Bai Qing and Xu Buyun was far more than distant relatives. Going to the west side with myself, let him take advantage of these two days to rest well and take Xu Buyun to visit Shengjing.

Gao Jin led him all the way to the inner room of the East Palace, but Cheng Muzhi was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom and study hall, nor was Liu Qingyan, who often accompanied him, Gao Jin stood aside and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, wait a moment, slave I went to look for His Highness, and His Highness didn't go out, and there are so many frequented places in the East Palace..." Cheng Muxing waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll take a stroll here by myself, and look for him by the way."

Gao Jin was still thinking about whether to follow, but when he looked up, he saw Cheng Muxing walking forward with his hands behind his back.In fact, Cheng Muxing himself was not very familiar with other places in the East Palace, but he turned around and came to the kitchen.Just as I was about to leave with a muffled laugh in my heart, I suddenly saw two lumps of human-shaped things lying on the ground.

He stepped lightly and went over to take a look, only to find that the two people were surrounded by a cat that was eating radish, and beside it was a small dried fish that had just been fried. Without even looking at it, he just gnawed back and forth like rolling around a carrot wholeheartedly.

Cheng Muxing was amused by this maverick cat, and couldn't hold back a "puchi", the rolling cat stopped and looked at him as if startled, then took his own carrot "Ula" and ran up the wall, alone Leave a few dried fish that no one cares about and the two people lying there.

Cheng Muzhi turned his face and looked at him with a bit of a resentful woman's expression. Gao Zhan, who was lying on his stomach, stood up and bent down like a jump, and saluted Cheng Mu: "Your Highness, the second prince." Cheng Muxing nodded to let him get up , facing Cheng Muzhi: "This cat is so strange, it's the first time I've seen a cat that doesn't like fish."

Cheng Muzhi looked at the cat that had gone somewhere for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "This cat is very wild, and it doesn't belong to my house. It just ran to the kitchen by itself when it was hungry. He likes to eat carrots... Brother Huang, you just scared him away completely." Cheng Muzhi said half-jokingly to Cheng Mu.

Speaking of Liu Qingyan, Cheng Muxing didn't see it today, so he asked casually: "Where did Mr. Liu Xiao go?" Cheng Muzhi said sourly: "Han Shuwen is leaving soon, he and Han Shuwen are at General Han's residence today Woolen cloth."

Cheng Muxing nodded, and Cheng Muzhi asked again: "Brother, have you packed up your things for the journey?" Cheng Muxing replied: "Everything is fine, and I also brought some commonly used medicines with me. You don't have to worry."

"Brother Huang, the long journey is the second priority. I'm afraid of some other accidents. After all, Brother Huang is now considered to be holding a heavy army, and you are the earliest prince in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What if..." At this point , Cheng Muzhi stopped and said nothing, not because he thought too much, but because Cheng Muze really did such a thing.

In fact, Cheng Muze did think about finding some dead men to assassinate Cheng Mu on his way west or causing him some accidents, but was persuaded by Yan Qi.After all, it was General Han who came to pick him up in person, and Emperor Hengde also sent his more trusted guards to follow. It doesn't matter if the matter is successful, but if it fails, it will touch the scales of Emperor Hengde. Yan Qi was naturally opposed to this matter, but Cheng Muze thought about it for a while and then gave up.

Cheng Muxing himself didn't take it too seriously, and said to Cheng Muzhi: "If he really has that idea, I can't do it, so I have to pay more attention. I always think too much, and it's actually disturbing myself." Cheng Muzhi looked up at himself Brother Huang glanced at him, lowered his head again, and nodded fiercely.

After another two days, it was finally time to leave.After Cheng Muxing paid homage to his ancestor in the outskirts of Shengjing, he was about to set off.At this time, he was already in military uniform, but he didn't wear the outer armor. He was not fighting during the march, and the armor was very inconvenient.However, it really can afford the four words majestic and heroic.

Emperor Hengde looked at the ready-to-go army below on the altar, his eyes were a little sleepy, and he cheered up and said a few words of congratulations to the following. After all, it was hard work, be careful on the road, and settle down as soon as possible when you arrive in Anyang and so on.

To Cheng Muxing, he only briefly explained two sentences, one is to be careful on the road, and the other is to respect General Han and practice well in the army.Cheng Muxing nodded naturally, and the brothers below also came up to each other reluctantly. There were both true and false feelings, and Cheng Muxing naturally accepted it with a smile.The old seven and the eighth were a little violent, hugging Cheng Muxing's leg and crying and not letting go.

Finally... let's go.

Cheng Muzhi looked at the army leaving in front of him in a mighty way, with a somewhat bitter expression on his face. Cheng Muze, who was opposite him, was also looking up. Their eyes collided, and their expressions were complicated.
