Their group was mighty and mighty, and it took them thirteen days to return to Beijing.

There are too many people to enter the city, so when passing by places, they just set up camps outside the city.

Zuo Ji has eaten and lived with Zhong Sheng for so many days, and gradually, he has become familiar with his temperament.

Back outside the capital, they did not immediately enter the city.

Instead, they found a large open space to dock and rest.

Not long after they sat down, before they had time to drink the water, someone came to Zhong Sheng and whispered something.

After hearing this, Zhong Sheng glared at him displeased.

The man lowered his eyebrows and nodded, and at the end, he sneaked a glance at Zuo Ji.

Zuo Ji felt that this matter should be related to him, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Actually nothing.

This person just asked Zhong Sheng if he wanted to send someone to the Zuo Mansion to report first, and let them send someone to wait in front of the city gate to pick Zuo Ji back.

"It's nothing." Zhong Sheng didn't want to mention it, and complained: "The servant has a lot of troubles, so you don't have to pay attention to it."

The man didn't dare to say anything more, bowed to Zhong Sheng, and withdrew.

Seeing this, Zuo Ji asked again: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Zhong Sheng said to him, "I'll personally take you back later, and then enter the palace."

Zhong Sheng looked at him with reluctance in his eyes.

After watching it, Zuo Ji probably understood and nodded.

The team rested for an hour, and then parted ways.

The servants all advanced into the city.

Others went back to the team, to the camp to which they belonged.

There was only one Xiaoqi, about 20 people, who were going to accompany Zhong Sheng into the palace.

After everything was ready, everyone waited dryly, because Zhong Sheng never said that he would leave.

At this moment, Zhong Sheng was standing quietly on the edge of the cliff, silently looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers.

Her thin lips were slightly pursed, and there were many thoughts in her long and narrow eyes.

He was still worried, not knowing what would be waiting for him next.

However, he had to bite the bullet and face it.

Heartbroken, he heard footsteps approaching, he turned his head and saw that it was Zuo Ji, his brows eased.

Zuo Ji came to him and asked, "Worried? Scared? Stressed?"

There was a slight smile in Zhong Sheng's eyes, and he asked, "Do you know you care about me?"

"At least we've been together for a while, haven't we?" Zuo Ji smiled like a flower, "Although you always belittle me, bully me, and make me angry, I'm kind and don't hold grudges, and generally speaking, you're still pretty good to me." Yes, shouldn't I care about you?"

Zhong Sheng smiled, then shook his head.

"Just turn a corner and say that you care about me, care about me, and love me?"

"I'm afraid that if I'm so direct, you'll be too happy and put me on the bed tonight."

Zhong Sheng was happy.

"What can you do if you don't like me?"

"Say it as if I was happy for you to bite me before, and my neck still hurts."

Mentioning this, Zuo Ji frowned and touched his neck.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Sheng pulled him closer and grabbed his hand to help him observe.

In fact, the facts are not as exaggerated as Zuo Ji said.

It has been so many days, the wound has healed long ago, and the marks are very faint, almost invisible.

Seeing that the traces had almost disappeared, Zhong Sheng felt a little regretful, Zuo Ji turned his head and saw him frowning, and hurriedly broke free from his hand and backed away.

After hiding, Zhong Sheng raised his eyes slightly in a daze, and finally, he smiled wickedly.

"Okay, learn to be smart."

He just wanted to make up again, but he didn't expect Zuo Ji to see through him first.

"You..." Zuo Ji became angry.

"I'm going to beat you up sooner or later, I tell you!"

Seeing him staring and angrily threatening, Zhong Sheng raised his eyebrows and nodded indifferently: "I'll wait for you."

Hearing how "arrogant" he was, Zuo Ji let out an "oops", put his hands on his hips, and walked back resentfully, at the end, he turned back again: "Childish ghost!"

Zhong Sheng laughed and nodded: "Yes, yes."

"If you can't win, I will beat you."

"Okay, I'll let you."

The two of them are like children, talking to each other there.

Qi Luo watched them bickering from a distance, a little amused, and said to Lu Hui beside him, "I found that His Highness has smiled a lot recently."

Hearing this, Lu Hui glanced at him, and finally replied coldly: "Say it as if he would laugh at you."

Zi Luo "tsk": "What?"

"Atmosphere, do you know the atmosphere? This way everyone doesn't have to be so nervous, do you know?"

"Hey, don't look at Zuo Ji's stupidity." Qi Luo boasted, "It's no wonder His Highness likes him so much because he can make His Highness so happy. He's really a treasure."

Lu Hui glanced at him again.

"Is he stupid?"

This look, with a little doubt, seemed to ask him: are you serious?

Zi Luo looked at his little eyes and frowned: "What's wrong?"

Lu Hui chuckled lightly, playful: "The one who hides the needle in the cotton is fortunately not an enemy."

After that, he walked away.

Zi Luo didn't understand why Lu Hui saw it that way.

"What's the matter?"

This Zuo Ji doesn't know a little bit of boxing and kicking skills, and he has no strength to fight, how can he still eat His Highness?

Qi Luo looked at him, couldn't figure it out, and wanted to ask Lu Hui, but seeing him walking away, he quickly followed him.

in the afternoon.

After the carriage entered the city, it walked for an hour and stopped in front of a very imposing mansion.

Zuo Ji raised the curtain and poked his head out, seeing the aura in front of him, he was shocked.

"Come."

Zhong Sheng got out of the carriage first, and came forward to wait for him.

Zuo Ji borrowed his strength and raised his head to look at the plaque above the mansion. For a moment, he was a little timid.

"Is this my home?" he asked.

"Does it sound familiar?"

"How is it possible, I haven't been here again."

Zuo Ji smiled and turned around, seeing that Zhong Sheng couldn't hide his disappointment, his smile suddenly became awkward.

He was quite at a loss, Zhong Sheng smiled and said, "Let's go in."

"Okay." He nodded.

Enter the mansion.

Wherever they passed by, everyone knelt down in astonishment.

Zuo Ji saw an elderly man among these people, and wanted to help him up, but Zhong Sheng turned around and arrested him.

On a small arched bridge in the atrium garden, Zhong Sheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, Zuo Ji followed his line of sight, and it turned out that the person who ran to inform him had brought the host home.

The man who came was about 50 years old, and hurried here under the leadership of the housekeeper.

High nose, thin lips, plus a goatee.

All the gray hair was tied up and twisted into a bun, fixed with a jade headband. On the old face, a pair of eagle eyes were piercing, very energetic.

Looking at his appearance, except for his eyes, the rest is somewhat similar to Zhong Sheng, Zuo Ji thought to himself, this person must be Zuo Shicheng.

Coming in front of them, Zuo Shicheng cupped his hands and bowed to Zhong Sheng.

Zuo Ji saw it in his eyes, and thought it was ridiculous for me to salute his son, but he didn't want to, his hand was touched by Zhong Sheng, he was slightly startled, seeing Zhong Sheng winking at him, he looked at Zuo Shicheng, and found that Zuo Shicheng was staring at him. He, he was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had made a mistake.

"Father." He hurriedly followed suit and bowed to Zuo Shicheng: "The child is back."

Zuo Shicheng didn't respond.

Just stare at him.

Neither excited nor anything else.

Zuo Ji kept his posture and waited there. After a long time, he felt strange. He raised his head to look at those sharp eyes, but couldn't understand the meaning. He thought to himself: Could it be that I called it wrong just now?

Should I be called Dad?

You won't call him dad directly, will you?

A little timid, he asked for help and glanced at Zhong Sheng.

Zhong Sheng smiled softly at him, and finally explained to Zuo Shicheng: "Ah Ji was plotted against by someone before, and he doesn't remember anything after that, even he forgot who I am."

"Oh?" Zuo Shicheng was astonished, then, the old man narrowed his eyes, stroking his beard and looking at Zuo Ji: "No wonder the old man thinks there is something wrong with Ji'er."

wrong?

It should be because he thinks he is wrong, right?

Zuo Ji was suspicious.

Because Zuo Shicheng's reaction after seeing him was simply too abnormal.

Zuo Ji was suspicious, and Zhong Sheng was worried: "I hope he can quickly remember familiar people and things when he comes back."

Zuo Shicheng listened, noncommittal, and said to Zhong Sheng: "He has already returned home, as long as he is safe, whether he remembers the past is not harmful to his life, it is not important. But your highness, can you move the old man before entering the palace?" Study room, the old man has something important to discuss with you."

Hearing what he said, Zhong Sheng knew that he must tell him something before he entered the palace, so he nodded immediately: "Okay."

Just as Zhong Sheng was about to take a step, his arm was grabbed by Zuo Ji.

He turned his head in a daze, surprised to see Zuo Ji like this.

Because it was the first time that Zuo Ji would do this.

Zuo Ji said to him: "Don't just leave me here alone."

Zhong Sheng smiled slightly.

He turned his head, grabbed Zuo Ji's hand, and was about to speak to comfort him, but Zuo Shicheng, who was standing beside him, let out a very dissatisfied "hmm".

With Zuo Shicheng here, Zhong Sheng didn't dare to do anything, in the end he just squeezed Zuo Ji's hand secretly, gave him a fond look, and let go.

Zuo Ji watched him off, feeling very upset. In the end, seeing Zuo Shicheng still here, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

His eagle eyes are really not covered.

Stare straight at people.

Just looking at each other like this makes Zuo Ji's heart shudder.

He wouldn't be waiting for what he said, would he?

Could it be that he was waiting for him to say yes to leave or not?

He was puzzled, thought for a while, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zuo Shicheng scolded him in a low voice: "You really failed to achieve success and failed failure!"

what?

When Zuo Ji heard this, he was immediately surprised.
