Chen Shi

After Mei Ruxue left, the living standards of Chen Zhi and Rong Yun fell to mediocrity.Not to mention basic necessities of life, the fragrance of plum blossoms that accompanied me like a shadow also gradually dissipated.While Rong Yun was physically and mentally at ease, she mercifully presented a bouquet of little daisies to the enemy who surrendered without a fight: "Master Mei is leaving in a hurry. I don't know if something happened. I can't help, but Can Yao wish him a smooth journey." It is best to go thousands of miles away with the wind and never see him again.

Chen Zhi couldn't fail to see his little thoughts, and he didn't bother to say it. After resting for one night, he rode his horse into Nanyang the next day.

As soon as he entered the city, two black-armored soldiers appeared at the city gate, saluted in public, and the noise around them stopped in shock.

Rong Yun reacted very quickly, and pulled her into an alley aside. Seeing this, the others knew that it was a confidential matter, and they didn't dare to look at it for fear of getting into trouble.

The black armored soldier explained his purpose.It turned out that after Rong Yun found out that Chen Zhi had left without saying goodbye, she pretended not to care, waited for Wang Weixi to relax her vigilance, and left a letter to leave.Wang Weixi was calmer than him, and arranged eyeliner in Nanyang and Runing, and sent them to the capital immediately when they returned.

Rong Yun knew she was ashamed and cooperated very well, so she rushed on the road overnight.

On the way, he took the time to write a letter to Tan Shu, on the one hand to explain to him to guard against the Southwest King, and on the other hand to reveal new progress.At the beginning when Chen Zhi talked about unifying the world, he still thought it was a fantasy, but in just a few years, this ideal is no longer far away.

After Cui Yan disappeared, the imperial palace in the capital was an empty city, not to mention the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, even the palace staff were only called in temporarily to clean up, it was very lonely.Therefore, Chen Zhi and Rong Yun arrived in the capital and were arranged to live in Wang Weixi's mansion.

Today's Wang Weixi is the same as Yang Zhongju in the past. He is an official Taiwei, but the power in his hands is even more powerful.But the place where he lives is still the one given by Cui Yan back then.

Due to going out for a period of time, Wang Weixi hoarded a lot of court affairs, and Wang Weixi was still wandering around in the yamen, specially asking the chief manager to settle them down.The manager originally arranged two courtyards, but Rong Yun insisted on living with Chen Zhi. The two of them didn't have much luggage, and the room was huge. Moving to one place seemed empty.

Chen Zhi felt something was wrong: "Even if we live in the same courtyard, there are east and west wing rooms, why bother to squeeze together?"

Rong Yun is confident and confident: "We are just acquainted with Wang Weixi for the first time, and Master has a hatred for destroying the dynasty with him. Speaking of which, our relationship with him can be regarded as half strange and half hostile... Oh, with the relationship between Jiangnan and Yan Dynasty, there are still many hostilities. A little bit. Even if he believes that I am Cui Yan's son, but now that he is in power, there is no guarantee that there will be no disagreements. It is always right to be careful, we live together, and we can take care of each other when we encounter problems."

Although he said it was well-organized and Chen Zhi agreed with it very much, but he felt in his heart that this reason must not be the most important reason.

After Mei Ruoxue's comparison, Rong Yun refused to bow her head and act coquettishly. Naturally, she would not admit that she was reluctant to part with Master and wanted to get close to Master, insisting that she was so impartial.

Chen Zhi didn't really want him to speak clearly in black and white, but he just squeezed out a few words, and that's fine.

After resting for a while, Rong Yun couldn't hold back anymore: "The capital is the imperial capital, and it is said that the prosperity is better than that of the south of the Yangtze River. Master, let me open my eyes."

At his age, when he loves to play, Chen Zhi naturally won't hold back, and he also misses the capital a little bit, so he puts on a mask and goes out with him.

The street is still the same street, the city is still the same city, even the aroma of the food is similar to the memory.It's just that I revisit the old place, things are different, and my mood is very different.At that time, Chen Zhishang was full of enthusiasm for Huang Tianya's mission and full of ignorant expectations for the future. What is left now is the exhaustion and confusion of several generations of reincarnation and karma.

Rong Yun followed behind Chen Zhi, at first she would pay attention to some things Jiang Nan had never seen before, but after realizing that Chen Zhi was absent-minded, she lost interest and followed him silently.Seeing a carriage approaching, Chen Zhi didn't dodge or avoid it, he hurriedly took a step forward, put his arms around his waist and led the person away.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Rong Yun frowned, and her words were reproachful. For a moment, the relationship between the two seemed to be lost.

Chen Zhi said, "I'm thinking about the past and the future."

Master's past was without me.

I don't know if Master will have me in the future.

The only thing he can grasp is the present, but it is not in the master's consideration...

As Rong Yun thought about it, she couldn't help feeling anxious and resentful.

The carriage that almost collided with Chen Zhi just now suddenly stopped in front, and an old woman rushed over with the support of her servants: "But... are you an old friend?"

There were so many people around, Rong Yun didn't realize that she was talking to them until that person approached Chen Zhi.

Rong Yun subconsciously pushed Chen Zhi behind her.

Chen Zhi came back to his senses, and looked at the old woman's face in surprise: "Madam Yinshan?"

Mrs. Yinshan said excitedly: "As expected, it is His Majesty... Your Highness."

Rong Yun said sourly: "Does Master still have a title called 'Bi'?"

Chen Zhi knocked his head angrily, and asked Mrs. Yin Monkey: "How is Yin Monkey?"

"Okay, not good." She lowered her head and wiped her tears, "I just miss you. After so many years, I still mention you from time to time. I said that I didn't take good care of you back then, which made you feel wronged."

Chen Zhi was wearing a mask, and she recognized him at a glance, which showed that the couple had never forgotten him.He was moved in his heart, and took advantage of the opportunity to agree to the other party's invitation to go home.

Rong Yun didn't object either.Since the master can't forget the past, then he should try his best to participate in it.

Mrs. Yin Shangong didn't change much except her hair became whiter and more wrinkles. Chen Zhi preconceived that Yin Shangong was similar to before, but he didn't dare to recognize him when he met him.

The originally round and chubby face has become thinner than a shoehorn, and the folds on the face can be turned over to make dumplings.

Chen Zhi said in surprise, "Have a bad appetite?"

Mrs. Yin Shangong said: "I used to eat five meals a day, but now I eat six meals a day. I eat meat every meal, and I don't gain any meat."

Yin Shangong stared at Chen Zhi dumbfoundedly for a long time, and said to his wife, "Madam... Your Majesty has come back to see me."

At this time, Chen Zhi took off his mask, so the expression on his face was very vivid: "Yeah, long time no see."

Yin Shangong suddenly knelt down with a "plop": "Your Majesty! You haven't come back for the first seven days, and you haven't come back during the Chongyang Festival. Why are you coming back now? I didn't prepare anything! Not even a good stick of incense! The paper money that is usually burned I don’t know if you have received it. Now the war is in turmoil, things are expensive everywhere, I don’t know if the underworld is affected. What do you want to eat? I will burn it for you at night.”

Madam couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him: "It's not dark yet. What nonsense!"

Yin Monkey suddenly realized that he got up and ran away.

Chen Zhi, Mrs. Yin Shangong: "..."

Rong Yun couldn't help laughing.Among the people Master knows, this is the cutest.

Mrs. Yinshan later explained to Chen Zhi that he was not afraid of ghosts, but maybe he was too happy to accept the reality for a while.

While talking, Yin Monkey rushed back to Chen Zhi's side, opened the umbrella with a "snap", and tremblingly said to Chen Zhi: "Be careful, Your Majesty, don't let it melt in the sun."

Chen Zhi: "..." He is not a snowman.

Chen Zhi and Mrs. Yin Shan talked all kinds of things, and finally convinced Yin Shan that it was two people who came, not two souls.

Knowing that Chen Zhi was not dead, Yin Monkey exploded, slapping the table and questioning why Chen Zhi had been silent for so many years, and no news came back.

Chen Zhi was also embarrassed.In his mind, Chen Yingke should have died a long time ago. If he hadn't paved the way for Rong Yun, he wouldn't have come back with this identity.I had no choice but to throw the pot to my teacher.

There are always some weird rules in the Taoist sect, and it is not easy for Yin Monkey to ask, so he looked at Rong Yun again.When they first met, he was full of Chen Zhi, and after a hasty glance at the face next to him, he defaulted to Cui Yan, only then did he see the difference between the two.

Chen Zhi fooled Wang Weixi's words again.

Yin Shangong was silent for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, be careful of Wang Weixi."

Chen Zhi felt that it was awkward for him to yell "Your Majesty" one by one, but he had changed his name to "Wang Ye" later, but he changed it back somehow.

Yin Shangong had no choice but to change his words according to his wishes: "After the prince and His Majesty disappeared, the old family in the capital was ready to rebel. Although they were suppressed by the black armored soldiers, this force has never subsided over the years."

Chen Zhi said, "It's hard for Wang Weixi to remain loyal for so many years."

Yin Shangong said: "He has to be loyal. Over the years, he has tried many times to reorganize the black armored soldiers, but all ended in failure. The black armored soldiers have their own set of rules from recruitment, training to promotion. Wang Weixi It's impossible to get in. If it weren't for the image of being loyal to Cui Yan and Yan Chao, it would be impossible to use the black armor soldiers so handily."

"You mean, he also has his own plans?" If so, Rong Yun would be in danger.

Yin Sangong said: "Maybe there used to be, but in recent years, it's better. Thinking about it, I've had enough tossing and tossing. I can't get any tricks. I have been worrying that His Majesty will not come back. Who will entrust the Yan Dynasty to Jiangshan. It can be said that the arrival of Rong Yun , solved his biggest worry."

That's fine.

Chen Zhi felt relieved.

Yin Shangong suddenly said: "My lord has never thought about...to..."

Chen Zhi let out a "shh", stopping what he was going to say next.Ever since Duke Yin suddenly called him His Majesty again, he could feel his desire to restore the Chen Dynasty revived, but until now, it was absolutely impossible for him to give him the slightest hope.

Yin Shangong had already guessed this result, sighed disappointedly, looked at Rong Yun and said, "Forget it, he is your apprentice, so it can be regarded as...inheritance and continuation." People who have been loyal to the Chen Dynasty for decades, in the end, only Can comfort myself like this.

Mrs. Yin Shangong prepared a sumptuous lunch, and the few of them ate and chatted until late in the evening.

Wang Weixi sent people to urge them back to the mansion, and Yin Shangong sent them to the door. Before leaving, he suddenly said something irrelevant: "Wang Weixi has two daughters, who are his treasures."
