After staying in Shuzhou for half a month, most of the sick people have begun to show signs of improvement.

Chu Yan received a letter last night, saying that the troops sent by the capital had arrived.

His father had just recovered from a serious illness, so he shouldn't be overtired, at least he was sent by the Holy Spirit, so it would not be good for outsiders to welcome him.

Chu Yan could only leave Chongyang in Shuzhou to protect Fu Shiyu's safety, and then rushed back overnight.

"Participate in the world."

Ying Zhu was waiting outside the barracks early in the day. He was a careless and careless fellow who was not good at dealing with officials of the imperial court who had more eyes than beans, so he found an excuse to slip out.

Chu Yan hummed, and asked, "Where is the sent imperial physician?"

"Already starting to see those are soldiers."

Chu Yan frowned, "Let them wait and don't run around."

"Yes."

Chu Yan got off his horse, threw the reins to the guarding soldiers, and strode towards the barracks.

In the Chinese military tent.

King Guangling and two old ministers were chatting and laughing, and hearty laughter came from time to time.

Seeing Chu Yan coming in, King Guangling beckoned him to go over.

Chu Yan paced forward silently, seeing that his cheeks were flushed, he must have had a few drinks.

After coming here for almost a year, Chu Yan had never seen his father so happy, and his eyes couldn't help being a little lost.

"This is Duke Qing."

King Guangling looked to the opposite side, leaning on the case, he became a hale and hearty old man.

"Duke Qing is a veteran who marched and fought with His Majesty. He made great achievements in battle and was extremely brave."

Chu Yan bowed and saluted, "See Duke Qing."

He had heard of this Duke Qing in his previous life, but he had never had the chance to meet him.

Although the current sage is considered a wise emperor, he is suspicious by nature, treacherous, and he is most jealous of his ministers' achievements. While granting Duke Qing a title, he secretly took away his military power and handed it over to his confidant, King Guangling.

And the reason why he was made Duke of the State was because Duke Qing had never married and had no heirs.

I heard that I had a wife when I was young, but she had been ill for a long time, and her bones were not very good. Later, when she was six months pregnant, she accidentally fell, the child was lost, and the adults were gone.

At that time, Duke Qing was furious and executed many maidservants and servants, but the subsequent matter was left alone, and Duke Qing never married a wife again.

Others only said that Duke Qing was a rare type of infatuation, but only Chu Yan knew that he dared not marry a wife.

In his previous life, he happened to hear something about the miscarriage of Duke Qing's wife.

It's not surprising that the child disappeared after a fall, but even the adults disappeared along with it, which makes people a little surprised.

Later, I heard that a tonic was added to Mrs. Qing’s miscarriage prescription. It is clearly intended to prevent miscarriage, but the medicine is extremely strong. Normal pregnant women will not go back to trouble after drinking it. After drinking it for several months, the body can't stand it, even if it doesn't slip, on the day of delivery, it will still end up with one dead body and two lives.

And the reason why Chu Yan knew about this medicine was because Mrs. Wang happened to put this medicine in the prescription for his health when he was a child.

I heard that the prescription for Mrs. Qing was prescribed by the old doctor in the palace, but at that time, Duke Qing didn't hold him accountable. He just knew that the old doctor was just a cover, and someone else was behind it. As for who...

——Except for the one on the dragon chair, no one dared to do such a thing.

Chu Yan came back to his senses, and looked at Duke Qing who was sitting behind the table with a kind and friendly face, his eyes were a little dark.

There was no plague in the previous life, but this Lord Qing also came to the military camp around this time.

Seeing Chu Yan salute, he stood up from the low chair, and happily replied: "I haven't seen the prince for many years, and my body has grown and strengthened a lot, and I already have the demeanor of the prince back then!"

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your praise."

King Guangling listened to him praising his son with a smile, and with such pride in his eyes, he continued to introduce another Minister of Supervision of the Army next to him.

After some formalities, a few people sat behind the desk and started gossiping, from the south to the north, from the current affairs of the country to the countryside, and finally talked about the plague.

When he was seven minutes drunk, Chu Yan held up the wine bottle and offered a toast to Duke Qing, chatting casually, "Is the Duke still able to withstand the long journey?"

Although Duke Qing was old, he still couldn't hide his majesty and courage. He stroked his goatee and said with a loud smile, "Your Majesty, you are underestimating this old man."

"Although I am old, I can still move my lower legs after taking two steps on the mountain road."

"While moving now, come out more often to see the rivers and mountains of Daqing, so that you can sleep peacefully after you die."

The king of Guangling next to him smiled and said: "I heard that the Duke was seriously ill before, but now seeing that your bones are still strong, you must have almost recovered from the illness."

Duke Qing sighed, with some sadness in his eyes, "I'm old, I can't do it anymore, Xiao Fenghan has been ill for almost half a year, and I don't know how long I can live."

The military supervisor at the side comforted: "The Duke is a blessed man, and he will live a long life."

Duke Qing shook his head, "Half of his body is buried in the soil, so it's useless."

Chu Yan suddenly asked intriguingly, "I heard that His Majesty sent other ministers before, why did the person sent by him be the Duke?"

These blunt words made the atmosphere in the camp a bit stagnant, and everyone looked stiff. King Guangling scolded: "You bastard! Why are you talking to the Duke!"

Chu Yan said calmly: "The younger generation is only worried about the health of the Duke, so I asked a lot. If I offend the Duke, I will apologize to you here, and I hope the Duke will forgive me."

The words were sincere and sincere, neither humble nor overbearing, Duke Qing's eyes were full of meaning, after a few breaths of silence, he suddenly smiled with ambiguous meaning: "My lord, the problem of being outspoken must be corrected."

Although the criticism is clear, there is no meaning of blame in the words.

He brushed the dust off his clothes, and replied with a light smile: "The ministers sent by His Majesty begged the old man, and the old man has a little friendship with him, so naturally he can't just sit idly by."

Hearing this, King Guangling's face immediately became a little ugly, and he said angrily: "Since I have received the imperial salary, there is no reason not to do business. A group of rats and sparrows have actually troubled the Duke. I will write it another day." The memorial impeached these stupid officials!"

"You can't say that." Duke Qing said roundly, "The minister has a mother, a wife and children, and a big family to support. If they come here and suffer from some weird problems, don't they want to go with them? Unfortunately, the old man is alone, if he is sick, he will go to the soil earlier, if he is not infected, he will live for a few days, and there is not much loss, so after all the calculations, it is better for the old man to come."

"It happened to be His Majesty's birthday banquet last year. The old man was sick on the bed and couldn't meet you. Now I'm stopping by to catch up with you."

King Guangling recalled what happened in the palace last year, and sighed: "I should visit the Duke, but there was some family matter in the palace, so it was delayed, and the war at the border was tight, so I didn't dare to stay longer, so I didn't have time to go. Duke's Mansion."

"This old man is not blaming me for saying this." Duke Qing smiled heartily, looking in a good mood, "After all, I have fought with His Majesty for decades, so I naturally know what's going on in the barracks."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Chu Yan opposite, and said with a meaningful smile: "I don't know if the old man's answer is satisfactory?"

There was no surprise on Chu Yan's face, and he just said, "Thank you, Duke, for clearing up the confusion for the younger generation."

Duke Qing smiled, but did not answer.

After drinking for three rounds, Duke Qing and the Minister of Supervising the Army looked a little tired, King Guangling ordered the soldiers to take them to the camp that had been cleaned up and disinfected in advance.

Seeing that only their father and son were left in the tent, the smile on King Guangling's face instantly faded, and he glared at the person next to him, "How can you speak so inappropriately!"

"When I took over the military power from Lord Qing, he was not only selfless, but also helped me a lot."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a good teacher and helpful friend. If you ask that question today, don't you think you're taking the face of your father in public!"

Not long after the tent was sterilized, the tip of the nose could still smell a bitter smell of residual medicinal materials.

Chu Yan looked down at the transparent liquid in the wine bottle, and said indifferently: "Can father guarantee that people's hearts will always be consistent and will never change?"

King Guangling frowned, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Everyone has selfish motives."

"Father really thinks that such a selfless person will exist?"

King Guangling didn't speak, his eyes were dark.

Chu Yan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't say any more. He opened the curtain and was about to go out. King Guangling suddenly said behind him: "Leaving the barracks without authorization, dereliction of duty, don't forget that you still have fifty whips."

"Yes."

Last time, King Guangling neither agreed to his departure nor objected to it. It was his acquiescence. When he left, he handed Chu Yan two thousand elite soldiers. .

Now that you're back, it's time to receive your punishment.

As soon as Chu Yan got out of the tent of the Chinese army, he suddenly saw a white figure walking by the prison tent in the distance.

He was shocked, and then his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he quickly walked in the direction where the person disappeared.

As soon as he walked around the tent, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist.

Shen Yanting pressed against his back lightly, a little aggrieved in his words, "Xian Xing."

Chu Yan, who was about to tear his hand away, suddenly heard the rustling of boots on the grass.

Although the voice was very subtle, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so his hearing was naturally more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Now the deliberately soft footsteps were very clear in Chu Yan's ears.

His right hand paused in the air for a moment, and suddenly it fell on the back of Shen Yanting's hand uncharacteristically.

"Xianxing?" Shen Yanting was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he said pleasantly: "Are you not angry now?"

Chu Yan hummed lightly, pulled his hand away, turned around and hugged Shen Yanting into his arms. Although it was a very intimate gesture, his eyes were terribly cold, as if a thin layer of solid ice had formed.

Unexpectedly, after a year of separation, after reuniting again, this person returned to his former affectionate appearance.

Shen Yanting was ecstatic in his heart, and quickly stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his muscular waist.

Hearing the steady and powerful heartbeat in the warm chest, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he pretended to be angry and said: "You left without even saying hello, I... I thought you really didn't want me..."

As he spoke, his voice began to choke, his face was about to cry, taking advantage of the hazy night, he felt a little pitiful.

Chu Yan's eyes were calm, his rough thumb rubbed the corners of his reddish eyes, and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

Shen Yanting held his wrists with both hands, rubbed his cheeks against his callused palms, and said aggrievedly: "I wrote you so many letters, but you never replied, I was very worried about you, so I mixed up with the imperial physician's The team came running, plus..."

A little bit of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he murmured, "I also... miss you."

"Really?" Chu Yan's complexion did not change, his eyes were calm without even a trace of ripple, he only blurted out a few words, and then he didn't say anything.

Shen Yanting couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart, and after hesitating for a while, he asked hesitantly, "Why didn't you reply to my letter?"

Chu Yan said indifferently: "I haven't received it."

"Really?" Shen Yanting doubted the letter, "I wrote you at least ten letters this year, did you not receive any of them?"

Received it.

But he didn't even bother to open the envelope, so he put it in the brazier and burned it.

Chu Yan glanced at him expressionlessly, then let him go suddenly, "Since you don't believe me, why do you need to ask again?"

"I believe it! How could you not believe it!" Shen Yanting hastily stopped him, "I just asked."

Chu Yan hummed, "It's getting late, go and rest."

Shen Yanting didn't want to leave, but seeing Chu Yan's frosty expression, he didn't dare to say too much.

Afraid of annoying him, his attitude became as cold and distant as before.

"I'm leaving."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

These few words seemed to be wrapped in a layer of greasy honey, Shen Yanting's heart was sweet, and he was flattered and said hello.

The footsteps back were a little floating, obviously still immersed in the joy of Chu Yan getting close to him again.

Chu Yan's eyes darkened, and he looked at the position next to the prison tent quietly.

There was no fire, it was very dark, even if one stood alone, one would not be able to see clearly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving there, Chu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and murmured coldly into the depths of the darkness.

"—Repay the sword he received for you in the previous life."

"Join the General."

Ying Zhu walked into the tent, and reported with a strange face: "At the end of the day, I will see that the son is behaving intimately with the same man."

The hand of King Guangling holding the teacup trembled slightly, "But that little doctor named Fu?"

"No." Ying Zhu said in a deep voice: "It's not from the military camp, but mixed with the imperial physician's team, it seems to be from the old days of the prince."

King Guangling pondered for a while, "It turns out that he said that he went to Shuzhou to find that young doctor was just a cover."

Ying Zhu half understood: "The general is saying that the son is diverting the general's attention, so as to save this man's life?"

King Guangling didn't say yes or no, and put down the cracked teacup in his hand, "Now you rush to Shuzhou overnight, and tell those two soldiers not to do anything."

"Since it was a misunderstanding, I will save the young man's life."
