Song Chunjing was unprepared, his body suddenly flew into the air, and he subconsciously hugged his neck and shoulders.

Li Chen smiled heavily, "Hold on tight." Then he strode out.

It was still raining outside, and as soon as they went out, Yan Zhen immediately raised his umbrella and put it on top of the two of them.

The carriage is ready, just waiting for people to get on it.

Li Chen took a step on the shoulders of the man, stepped onto the carriage, bent his body, and got into the carriage.

"Go." He said.

The carriage moved in response to the sound and galloped away through the rain.

Song Chunjing finally came to his senses, grabbed the car window with one hand, and fixed the two of them.

"Put me down." He said urgently.

Li Chen let go of his hands and let him down, Song Chunjing's face flushed slightly, he didn't know if it was from backflow of blood or from anger.

He frowned to get angry.

"Don't be angry," Li Chen took the lead and said, "I'll be back in a while."

Li Chen pressed him on the seat and held his hand tightly to prevent him from leaving.

"The enthronement ceremony is just around the corner. If something really happens to the emperor, wouldn't the humble official who did not dissuade him as a colleague become a sinner? At that time, hundreds of civil and military officials and all people in the world will be able to drown the humble official with a spit."

Song Chunjing didn't rush down regardless, only frowned and said.

Seeing that he seemed really angry, Li Chen touched the straight bridge of his nose.

At this moment, it would be fine if he kept his mouth shut, but he still wanted to explain something: "Well..."

"How can the emperor be so indifferent and act recklessly." Li Chen was interrupted by Song Chunjing before he could finish his sentence.

After reprimanding him, he got up and wanted to lift the curtain to get out of the car.

Li Chen had been prepared for a long time, and hugged him tightly in his arms, "You dissuaded me, but I insisted on going my own way and refused to listen, and it has nothing to do with you."

Song Chunjing opened his mouth, and he said again: "Apart from father, queen and queen, only you dare to scold me."

Song Chunjing paused, as if he didn't realize that he was swearing.

Li Chen lay on his shoulders, and whispered in his ear, with a little pleading: "Don't attack me, there are so many people outside, they are the emperor anyway, save me some face."

Song Chunjing opened his mouth.

After a while, he seemed to have nothing to say, and turned his head a little annoyed.

Li Chen: "With such a heavy rain, there are no people outside. Besides, there are very few people in the world who can beat me."

Song Chun looked at his still-healed arm, and asked coldly, "Really?"

Li Chen: "..."

The carriage was still moving forward, getting farther and farther away from the East Palace.

Li Chen looked at his cold eyes, opened his mouth, "I know I was wrong."

Can someone who grew up in a nest of gold and silver know what is 'wrong'?

Still admitting your mistake so quickly?

Whether you really know it is not important, what is important is that your attitude is very serious and solemn.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it's hard for Song Chunjing to hold on to it. He turned his head and calmed down for a while.

When he spoke again, his voice became much calmer: "Your Majesty, please don't do this again in the future."

Li Chen immediately nodded and assured, "Okay."

It's still raining outside.

The pattering sound covered up the three or two voices of discord, and the carriage returned to silence.

Li Chen took a deep breath, the corners of his lips still had a slight upward curve, "I will enter the palace in ten days at the latest. The palace is no more free than the East Palace, and it is as restrictive as a prison cell. I want to take advantage of these few days to play with you." Just play and relax."

Song Chunjing looked at him, and Li Chen understood the meaning in his eyes: Is this relaxation method just to relax on the bed?

He tilted his head and smiled, and let out a "ah", "It just so happens that you have also asked for leave, although...you may want to sleep more.".

Song Chunjing hesitated to speak, but Li Chen signaled him to speak directly.

Song Chunjing: "The imperial palace is the emperor's home, so you don't have to be restrained in your own home."

"Family," Li Chen raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Half of the people in the palace are other people's eyeliner. Guards, maids, and eunuchs are hard to guard against."

Li Chen raised his eyes to see his expression, couldn't help putting away his coldness, and smiled deeply, "Fortunately, you are with me, so I won't be too sad."

Song Chunjing's pupils were dark, and his smile was clearly reflected in them.

After a while, Li Chen squeezed his hand and said softly: "It's really not good to be the emperor.".

Song Chunjing didn't say anything, just stared at his drooping and straight nose.

Without raising his eyes, Li Chen slowly said to his injured hand: "I can't help myself, and I always worry you, and occasionally meet people with evil intentions who hurt you. It's fine if I'm not the prince. will be king."

Song Chunjing stared at him intently.

He thought for a while, with a faint smile on his lips, he continued: "If I wasn't the crown prince, I wouldn't be able to save your father, and I wouldn't be able to invite a highly skilled imperial physician to see me. it's your turn."

He pulled the corners of his mouth to both sides, raised his head and showed a sincere smile, and said seriously to Song Chunjing, "So it's better to be the emperor. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

northwest.

The chief soldier hurried on, but he was still the last one to arrive at the general ledger, and he was scolded as soon as he entered the door: "It's the last one again, hurry up and break your leg?!"

Lin Jian, the general of the border guards, had a sullen and prestige face, and immediately covered his face with anger, "Go out and get ten boards in a while!"

"Yes!" The chief soldier stood up straight and replied decisively.

The rest of the soldiers had heard something about these few days, and the battalion commander said with a smile: "Chen Kuo got a good horse a few days ago, so he was too late because he was happy?"

The other lieutenant also laughed, "I got a good man!"

For a moment, there was laughter in the tent one after another.

He also laughed hehehe and said, "There are all of them."

Lin Jian also heard that he had detained the young man he had brought back in his account, and although he was angry, he did not criticize him too much.

Barracks?

There is not a bad one in the man's nest, and after a long time, the mare can be pulled out and used.

Not to mention the watery people.

He sighed, and scolded: "Don't treat me badly, ask your family, and send him away!"

The commander-in-chief did not dare to refute, and only explained: "His family members are all dead, and he has nowhere to go.

"Then arrange a position for me! What's it like to be locked in a tent!" Lin Jian scolded.

"It's already agreed, follow me to the school grounds, and practice knives under my hands." The chief soldier nodded and replied with a smile.

The battalion commander snorted, "Whether to follow you or to practice swords with you, you have to make it clear, don't let us accidentally step on a thunder."

There was laughter all around, the chief soldier nodded to them, and then laughed.

"There are bad news and good news from Beijing," Lin Jian cleared his hoarse voice, "Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let's talk about the good news, don't mention the bad news," the battalion commander grinned twice, "I'm old, I can't hear the bad news."

"Did the emperor die?" someone asked.

"Get out." Lin Jian cursed, then cleared his throat, his voice still sounded like he hadn't drank water in 800 years, "The emperor is on the throne, the crown prince will be enthroned in a month, we have to go back before the enthronement ceremony."

Chen Kuo thought for a while and asked, "Is this good news or bad news?"

Everyone laughed together again.

The frontier is remote, the news is blocked, everything has been settled in Beijing, and they have just received the news here.

Lin Jian knocked on the table and pointed at him threateningly.

He sighed, changed his face, yes, his expression became solemn in an instant.

"One more thing, the old general... is gone." He took a deep breath and said heavily.

Everyone shut their mouths, the jokes on their faces turned into grief in an instant, and the silence quickly spread and swept everyone present.

After a while, Lin Jianqiang coughed, "It is said that there was a turmoil in the capital, King Li rebelled, and the general's mansion was bloodbathed...the death was tragic, and the head...we found it later in the mansion of King Li."

He couldn't continue, and he paused several times before he finished telling the truth.

All present were silent.

Most of the people here are considered the general's soldiers, basically following him since he was a soldier, step by step to his current position.

Later, when the general was stationed in Beijing, he was afraid that they would mess around in the frontier, and he was nailed to death in Beijing as a chess piece to contain them.

"The new emperor has decreed to execute King Li secretly, one life for another, which is an explanation to the general's mansion and us." Lin Jian looked at their shiny black eyes and rough skin, and touched his face, " The general is gone, so when we go back to Chaohe this time, we will have to retain someone to stay in Beijing, maybe it is me, or it may be any one of you."

"Everyone here has some background in the capital, so whoever catches up with them counts, and each shows his talents. It's best not to hurt each other's brotherhood because of this." Lin Jiandao.

The frontier is bitterly cold, these Habayashi soldiers who have been released outside are one word different from the Imperial Palace Yulin Army, and the treatment is very different.

They were all brought up by gold and nobles. In order to control the high-ranking officials and families, the court came up with such an inhumane countermeasure: Send the men of the right age from the family to the army.

It is also necessary to bring back at least one person above the commander every three to five years, in order to prevent self-respect from supporting troops on the frontier.

Although the court emphasizes civility over martial arts, in recent years, the place has been unstable, and wars are about to break out. I can't say all of them, at least most of the people here want to be transferred back to Beijing.

Not to mention whether there is real power, at least you can guard your family, and you don't have to worry about tying your life to your belt every day.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne is not considered good news, but the real good news is that he can go back to Chaohe to see his family.

Lin Jian saw everyone's faces and nodded.

"One more thing," he said: "The young master of the General's Mansion is lost."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, as if they hadn't recovered from what they just said.

"The general wanted to send young master Shen Huan to join the army, but he encountered gangsters on the way, and the guards of the general's mansion overturned their car." He paused for a moment, and sighed sadly: "I haven't told you all this time, I wanted to find it by myself." , and now I’m afraid of delaying the opportunity.”

"Where can the gangsters who cultivated out of cultivation overturn the car of the general's mansion?" Chen Kuo asked.

"It is said that King Li sent to kill Young Master Shen, but as for the truth, no one can say for sure," Lin Jian explained, and continued: "Judging from the number of people at the scene, the survivors left one guard and one horse. , plus Young Master Shen, maybe the guards will take him all the way north to come to our place, observe carefully these few days, and don't kill suspicious people too quickly."

Everyone nodded in response, Chen Kuo couldn't hold back, and scolded: "What's wrong with King Li, I can understand killing the emperor and the prince, what's hindering the general's mansion?"

As the only one who knew the truth, Lin Jian couldn't tell the reason in full view of everyone, he just said: "Let's not talk about anything else, Young Master Shen is the only son of the general, everyone should provide snacks, try to help find it."

The battalion commander comforted him: "Fortunately, there is a guard with me. Most of the guards in the General's Mansion have been carefully selected. They can risk their lives at critical moments. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Lin Jian nodded, and let out a mouthful of stagnant air stagnant in his chest.

Chen Kuo thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What does it look like?"

Lin Jian hadn't seen it before, so he thought for a while and said, "It's the sons and daughters of the rich and noble families in Beijing. I guess you looked pretty much the same when you were thirteen or fourteen years old."

Others don't mention it, when Chen Kuo was a child, he rode horses and walked dogs, which made everyone frightened.

He thought about the delicate face and delicate body of the man in the tent, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Kuo took ten sticks, gritted his teeth and returned to the tent, while Shen Huan was still lying there.

Thin quilts piled up in disorder on the bed were draped over his body indiscriminately, revealing a section of his leg.

The difference from just now is that he has already fallen into a deep sleep.

Lifeless weakness.

The fair-skinned and frail young man had never experienced any hardships. The only disaster he suffered was being ambushed on the way and seeing many people die.

At this moment, he was lying silently, his forehead and lips were pale and bloodless, but his cheeks were slightly red.

It looks like you have a fever.

Chen Kuo stepped forward to touch his forehead, and it really burned his hands.

When he pulled the quilt, Shen Huan held the other end tightly in his hands, making it tense.

Chen Kuo was too lazy to talk nonsense, and lifted the thin quilt to reveal his naked body.

He stretched out his hand, and lifted a slender and smooth leg, and there was some force in that leg, and some turbid liquid came out.

Chen Kuo cursed a few words in a low voice, and with the pain in his back, picked him up and put him in the bucket.

The water was already cold, and the moment he entered the water, Shen Huan froze and woke up suddenly.

Chen Kuo stretched out his hand and washed him, then said vaguely: "What did you tell you when you left, why didn't you wash it yourself?"

Shen Huan's face was pale, and his thin body trembled uncontrollably.

After Chen Kuo finished washing, he lifted him out and put him on the bed to dry him.

Shen Huan's whole body was stiff, as if he had been frightened silly.

After drying off, Chen Kuo covered him with the quilt, squatted down halfway, and kept his gaze level with him, "Are you scared?"

he asked deeply.

Shen Huan remained silent, still not daring to stare at him wrongly.

The guard, fear, and bewilderment in the eyes were intertwined, condensing into dry tears, leaving inconspicuous marks at the corners of the eyes.

Chen Kuo looked at his frightened look with his pupils constricted because he was too frightened.

no?He asked himself in his heart: Is this so terrible?Or was I being too rough just now?

Looking back on the past, he felt that it was indeed a bit rough, but he was already very restrained, and the absence of blood was the best proof.

He took a look at Shen Huan's thin body, and felt that maybe he was a little frightened by his innocence, and he just couldn't accept it for a while.

Chen Kuo stopped mentioning this matter, thought for a while, and said, "You have a fever, you know how to do medicine and show yourself what kind of medicine you want to take?"

Shen Huan still didn't speak, his eyes widened and he stared straight at him.

When dealing with enemies, you can slash them all at once, and when dealing with strangers, you can turn around and leave, or more conveniently, just throw them out and feed them to wolves.

Once done, save time and effort.

But since you want a human body, even if you are one of your own, you can no longer treat it so roughly.

Chen Kuo touched his forehead again, cleared his throat, "I'll get you a bowl of hot soup."

As he was about to leave, he turned his head and remembered General Lin's words in the tent, looked him up and down again, felt that he was a little younger, and also looked timid and fearful, not like a child from the General's Mansion.

He stood up and asked casually, "What's your name?"

Chen Huan was taken aback, and subconsciously thought: My father is here, looking for me.

My father must have searched around but couldn't find it, so he sent people to ask around, and now it has spread to some remote place.

When he blinked, Douda's tears rolled down one after another.

Chen Kuo: "..."

Chen Kuo didn't know which tendon had been poked in him, but he burst into tears again.

He tentatively asked again: "Think of your family?"

This time Shen Huan really thought of his family, sobbing uncontrollably, he burst into tears.

"Don't cry!" Chen Kuo yelled, and said with a headache: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, you are not forced to say it."

Shen Huan felt uncomfortable all over, his limbs were limp and weak, and it was as if seven or eight weights had fallen in his stomach.

He thought to himself that death would be a big deal, but the general didn't know how anxious he was, and he didn't know how many late nights he lost sleep looking for him.His heart hurt like a knife, and he cried intermittently: "My name is Shen, Shen Huan..."
