Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

Wu Duan.

The old general of Zhenyuan Mansion spent half his life in the Northwest Army, and his hands were stained with too much enemy blood. He was a bit disillusioned, so he didn't intend to let the descendants of Zhenyuan Mansion continue to serve in the military.

He chose the word "Duan" and the word "Xunzhi" for his son. He wanted him to behave properly, so that starting with him, the Wu family would change to Wen.

But he accidentally forgot that his family name is Wu, and there is almost no one.

It has been nearly a year since Zhenyuan Mansion became famous because Wu Duan guarded Duanren Gate, assisted Li Yan to ascend the throne, and had meritorious service as a dragon.The mansion was not very prosperous earlier, and several brothers of Old General Wu separated early and went out to live.

Therefore, this New Year's Eve, when Li Yan came to Zhenyuan Mansion, the only people waiting in front of the gate were Old General Wu, the general's wife and Wu Duan.

After prostrating the ceremony, Old General Wu cast his eyes on Chen Hen who was following Li Yan. Li Yan also followed his gaze, turned to look at Chen Hen, and said five short words to the old general.

"This is the Marquis of Zhongyi."

Chen Hen has been the Marquis of Zhongyi for nearly a year, but he has no real job in the court, and spends his whole day eating and waiting to die.Old General Wu has been in the outer town all year round, and he only returned to the capital because he was getting old, and Wu Duan took care of everything, and he only stayed in the mansion for retirement.

It's normal for the two of them not to know each other.

Old General Wu clasped his fists at him: "Master Hou, I have long admired you."

Chen Hen also returned the gift, and the old general came over and patted him on the shoulder: "A few days ago, Wu Duan always ran to Changle Palace. He said that Marquis Zhongyi lived in Changle Palace. At that time, the old man thought Wu Duan was lying. After leaving the old man, I can see Lord Hou today."

Chen Hen smiled and said: "Xunzhi often talks about the heroic old general in front of me..."

Before he finished speaking, the old general pinched his face: "I saw you today, you really look good."

The general's wife coughed twice, and the old general Wu immediately calmed down and invited Li Yan into the mansion in a serious manner.

Chen Hen quietly distanced himself from Li Yan, ran to the back to talk to Wu Duan, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "What did you tell your father?"

General Wu said nonchalantly, "Let's just say you've been living in Changle Palace recently."

"Then why did your father praise me for being good-looking for no reason?"

Wu Duan looked at him for a while, and said, "Probably because you are really good-looking."

"I'll go to you..." Chen Hen originally wanted to say that I would go to your uncle, but after thinking about it, this is still at someone else's house, maybe Wu Duan's uncle is really at home.

"I kindly remind you that you should drink less wine at the banquet later. We haven't picked you up from Zhenyuan Mansion for a long time. As soon as my father was happy, he brought a few jars of aged wine from the village outside the city. They were all spirits."

"Okay." Chen Hen's drinking capacity is indeed not flattering.

"Hey, the emperor is looking for you."

"What?" Chen Hen glanced forward twice, "Isn't he talking to your father?"

"Didn't you see that the emperor always wants to look outside? He is looking for you."

Chen Hen took another look, and sure enough, as Wu Duan said, Li Yan unconsciously glanced to the side, did he have something to order?

"I'll go over and have a look." Chen Hen stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Little General, let's go play in your yard after lunch."

Wu Duan patted his hand away: "Chen Liting, are you getting more courageous? Look, I will take my black iron long knife and cut you into offal for the horse."

Chen Hen returned to Li Yan's side again, but at this time, Li Yan didn't look at him anymore, and only talked about positive things with Old General Wu.He felt bored, so he lowered his head to study the stone floor of Zhenyuan Mansion.

It seemed to see the corner of the flower corridor in front again, the goose yellow skirt flickered and then disappeared.Maybe it was because the girls and maids in Zhenyuan Mansion were playful, and there were folk rumors that Li Yan was a celestial figure, which really attracted people's attention, so he didn't take it to heart.

After three rounds of drinking at the banquet.

Sure enough, Wu Duan did not lie to him, the wine was as strong as a knife, Chen Hen only took a sip, and felt the smell of alcohol rushing straight to his forehead.He would drink two more sips of wine to strengthen his courage, and he would be able to take Wu Duan's black iron knife and go to Caishikou to work as a part-time executioner.

Old General Wu also drank a little too much, loosened his collar, and talked about how he used to be with the army and was stationed in the northwest.

It talked about the city that never sleeps in the desert in the northwest, and also about the midnight ghosts in the barracks.

At last the old general waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about these nonsense, I will tell you how to catch deer in the mountains and forests."

I'm afraid he often told these stories at home, the general's wife and Wu Duan seemed to be out of interest.Chen Hen, on the other hand, listened attentively with his head propped up, and sometimes applauded.

Li Yan also looked at Old General Wu.Old General Wu was sitting in front of the table on his right, and Chen Hen was also sitting on Li Yan's right.If he looked at the old general, he could also see Chen Hen, he could see Chen Hen holding his head, a small section of arm exposed under the big sleeve of his toga, and he could also see Chen Hen's eyes shining from drinking or smiling.

Li Yan was also a little drunk, so he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows.

Old General Wu lost his mind when he spoke, and he said to Chen Hen: "Master Hou can try this method during the spring hunting in March. If you get fur, you can make clothes. If you get deer blood, it's okay... ..."

The general's wife coughed twice, and the old general stopped talking.

Chen Hen was not very embarrassed, turned his head and saw Li Yan rubbing his eyebrows, and said: "Is the emperor drunk?"

Li Yan withdrew his hand, and Chen Hen mistook the movement of lowering his eyes as a response.Chen Hen said softly: "It's almost over here, let Xunzhi find a room, and the emperor can rest."

He thought, Li Yan must undress and get dressed after sleeping for a while.He waited on the side and was able to do tasks.

Xi San, Zhenyuan Mansion has already prepared a room to pick him up.Taking advantage of helping him undress, Chen Hen touched him twice more.

Chen Hen added some spices to the incense burner, and helped Li Yan tuck in the quilt.The wine in Zhenyuan Mansion is really strong, Li Yan is probably really a little drunk, his face is flushed, and his eyes are also narrowed.

"The wine in the Zhenyuan Mansion is strong. Old General Wu has a good capacity for alcohol, so he likes to toast people. I told Xunzhi that there should be less wine at the evening banquet. In fact, Old General Wu is bold and unrestrained. If he toasts, the emperor will not drink all of it." , he won't care."

Li Yan nodded: "I know."

"The emperor sleeps for a while, and the minister is in Xunzhi's courtyard, not far away." Seeing his appearance, Chen Hen really resembled the cute boy before his rebirth. Pinch his face.

Chen Hen stretched out his hand before he could react, and said a word of Buddha in his heart, pretending to squeeze him generously.He told himself that this was a task, and he had no distractions.

Just when he was about to stop, Li Yan grabbed his hand.

Drunken eyes.

It's like the kind of trick where you take a sip of wine in your mouth and then hold up a torch to breathe fire.For no reason, Chen Hen felt that the way he looked at him was like this kind of trick.

People's eyes are full of sparks, but Li Yan's eyes are like a thousand-mile fire boat burning in Chibi.

Wildfires are endless, can spring be far behind?

"Your Majesty?"

"Just like before, let's tell a story." Li Yan clasped his hands tightly and pulled them into the quilt.

"The minister told me something..." When the wildfire burned, his whole body was burned to ashes, let alone his story.Chen Hen thought about it hard, "Tell me a story about my childhood. When I was a child, I was studying in an academy. My husband taught us to stick sentences. He came up with 'all kinds of tricks'."

Li Yan asked: "Then what did you stick to?"

"It just so happened that my mother made me a mille-feuille cake, so I stuck 'thousand-layer cake'."

Li Yan smiled lightly, paused, and said: "You go, the service is good in the morning."

"The emperor's satisfaction is the only pursuit of the minister." Chen Hen said a joke with a smile, and pulled out his hand to help him tuck the quilt.

Chen Hen ran to drink tea in Wu Duan's yard, when he arrived, Wu Duan had already made tea in the porch and waited for him.

"How did you go so long?"

Chen Hen sat down on the ground: "The emperor is drunk."

Wu Duan served him tea: "Here, hangover tea, the emperor has sent someone to deliver it. You can't drink well, so you can have a cup too."

"Thank you, little general." Chen Hen said with a smile, "Zhenyuan Mansion also has this kind of thing? I thought, with the drinking capacity of Zhenyuan Mansion, why can't they be used?"

"I don't need it, but my father is getting old. Besides, this year, Zhenyuan Mansion often has guests."

The afternoon sun shone into the corridor, Chen Hen moved forward, leaned on the railing to bask in the sun, and said, "Yes, who doesn't know that our little general Wu is brave and unparalleled? Well, when I was a companion in the palace , I don’t know which little general from the mansion, hugged my waist, cried, and said: “I don’t do it, I don’t want to be a member of Zhenyuan Mansion. Chen Hen, I’ll be your younger brother.”

"Why do you always remember this matter? Besides, what I said is that I will be your elder brother." Wu Duan laughed angrily, "At that time, my second uncle and third uncle insisted on separating the family, and the whole city of Chang'an knew about it , the group of bastards of the third son insisted on talking about this matter."

"At that time, I dragged you to take revenge. Who knew that you, a young general, were so poor in martial arts that you and I were surrounded and beaten together."

Wu Duan smiled and said: "Yes, your emperor's martial arts will be good, and he will press people to the ground one by one to let you beat them back. Didn't I also practice martial arts diligently when I go back? Can't I also press them to the ground to let you fight back?" Did you hit?"

Chen hated not to answer, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After a while, Wu Duan raised his eyes to look at the eaves, and said leisurely: "My parents are getting old, I have to carry Zhenyuan Mansion on my shoulders."

Chen Hen turned his head and beat him on the shoulder, instead of calling him Little General Wu, he called him instead: "General Wu?"

"I don't like to socialize, but it's not that I don't particularly like it. It's just that the affairs of Wu's own family are too difficult." Wu Duan sighed, "I said it well when we separated, but now that Zhenyuan's mansion is a dignitary, I just They all rushed back to talk about the old relationship with you."

Wu Duan continued: "a few months ago, my second uncle insisted that I take his two sons with me. I drove them to the barracks and went back within two days. The most difficult one was my third uncle. He has an only daughter who said he came to stay during the New Year's Eve, and he is still in the mansion now. Su Yuanjun came here a few days ago, and he was so embarrassed to see Su Yuanjun."

Su Yuanjun has always been open-minded, and it would be embarrassing to look at him.Chen Hen lowered his head and smiled.

Suddenly there was a crisp sound of broken porcelain, Wu Duan said: "I think the people below are not careful..."

Chen Hen was shocked, could it be that something happened to Li Yan?

He climbed over the railing and ran out, scolding himself that it was not good to drink tea, he had to run out, Li Yan was drunk, and did not guard him.
