Almost half a year later, the generals of the Xishan Camp returned with victory.

Lu Ting went back to the city first to take care of everything for King Qing. When he entered the city, many people failed to recognize him in such a hurry.

Prince Qing's mansion was in a mess for a while, the elderly steward with red eyes ordered the kitchen to make some hot dishes quickly, and called the water room to boil water for Lu Ting to take a bath.

Lu Ting didn't refuse, just left a light kiss on Chu Heng's lips, and went into the house.Half an hour later, he appeared in Chu Heng's room covered in moisture.

Although the three masters were not there, the princess and Doctor Chu with a special status still lived there, and the stewards did not dare to neglect at all.

At this moment, a table of dishes was cooked and was being served outside Lu Ting's room, but he directly led him to turn a corner and sent them to Chu Heng.

A pot of wine, a few dishes, a table, two people.

After drinking a few cups of wine and eating half a bowl of rice, Lu Ting looked up at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng sat aside, with milky white fish soup in the bowl in front of him, with a smile that couldn't be hidden from the corners of his eyes and brows, and looked at him without blinking.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Ting picked up fish meat with a chopstick, picked the thorns, and put it into Chu Heng's spoon.

The fish is river fish, mixed with sand and fishy.Chu Heng rarely touches it, but this time he put it in his mouth without hesitation: "Let me help you shave your beard."

Lu Ting hummed and took a sip of wine.Because Chu Heng's face is tender, his beard is easily rubbed red when kissing, and he has been taking care of it himself in the past.

After the expedition, busy with the battle, few men in the team had time to take care of their beards, all of them were unshaven, and it took ten and a half months to remember to shave randomly.

After eating, Chu Heng really collected the tools, and carefully fetched water and soap, and rolled up his sleeves in a decent manner.

Chu Heng's hair is naturally sparse, and there is only a shallow layer on his lips, and he can't even see traces of beard unless he looks carefully.It was the first time in his two lifetimes that someone shaves someone. He came up on a whim, and it was inevitable that he would be a little timid when he actually started it.

It's just that relying on the acupuncture skills of Wanhua Valley, the skills of his hands don't appear to be so weak.Although a little rusty, he still shaved Lu Ting's beard well.

There is no custom in Dayan to have a good beard and hair. Whether a man grows a beard or not is a personal habit.

After wiping his face, Lu Ting looked at the slightly red chin in the bronze mirror, smiled and pulled Chu Heng who breathed a long sigh of relief, lowered his head slightly, and kissed his lips.

"Good workmanship."

"It's fine if it's not scratched."

Chu Heng smiled lowly, the hand hidden behind his back was pulled out, and the finger that was accidentally pulled apart with a shallow cut was sucked into the man's mouth.

"I am back."

"I know..." Chu Heng smiled and wanted to retract his hand, but his fingertips were hooked by a hot tongue. He suddenly felt a little sleepy, and the singing of birds outside the window became unreal.

His other arm involuntarily grabbed Lu Ting's pocket, and with a light pull, the outer robe fell apart: "Lu Chengtan, I miss you."

Lu Ting opened his mouth and let the finger escape from his mouth.He reached into Chu Heng's clothes, and Chu Heng bit his lip and moaned after a few touches.In less than a moment, the robes that should be untied have fallen to the ground in a mess.

Lu Ting was naked against Chu Heng, and on his strong chest was a newly added incision that had scabbed over.Seeing that Chu Heng's eyes were slightly red, Lu Ting moved closer to his ear, bit his earlobe lightly and said, "Doctor Chu."

Chu Heng couldn't help laughing, looked into his eyes, and licked the corner of his lips neatly: "General Lu."

The two of them had always been harmonious in bed before, and sometimes they would play tricks in the back, but now they say "Doctor Chu" and "General Lu", which is a little interesting.

After more than half a year of separation, some are not only longing, but also longing.

The chirping of birds outside the window is constantly chirping, and the birds are jumping lively on the branches.If it was farther away, the voice of servants could still be heard, Jiang Li seemed to be coming this way, but was stopped by Bai Shu and took him to another place.

On the bed in the inner room, panting continuously.Lu Ting's breath was hot, and the kiss on Chu Heng's neck was so forceful that it made people tremble.

It was a bit ruthless, so Chu Heng had no choice but to clasp the man's shoulder and cry out for the pain. Finally, he couldn't help biting his ear, but he still twisted subconsciously under his body.

It wasn't until the matter was over that Chu Heng lay face up on the bed, gasping for breath.The man beside him got up and tried the water temperature in the basin.Fortunately, the weather is cool and the water is clean, so you might as well simply wipe it off.

It's just that Chu Heng shivered from being wiped by the cold water, and the things behind him dripped down.

"When will King Qing come back?"

Chu Heng finally calmed down, wanted to get up, but was still lying down on the bed hugged by Lu Ting who had tidied up the mess.

"It will be here in a few days. The Dayue Clan's defeat this time will not last two to thirty years, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a comeback."

They went out this time with the aim of severely defeating the Dayue clan.The chaos of Helen's opened many convenient doors for them.When they finally attacked Utun, the royal city, it took only three days to break through the city protected by the most soldiers.

He Lianhun had an arm chopped off by Lu Ting himself, and finally he was taken as a prisoner by King Qing, who was about to personally escort him back to Yandu.Wutun, the royal city of the Dayue clan, now has no king and no army.

"The emperor has issued an imperial decree before, and when the Xishan camp returns in triumph, he will immediately set off for the palace. At that time, the fourth princess will also accompany him."

After Lu Ting finished speaking, seeing that Chu Heng in his arms had lost his voice, he lowered his head and glanced: "Tired?"

Chu Heng shook his head: "I'm afraid I have to tell you something."

Lu Ting was silent.

He went out with the army, and the situation on the road did not allow them to receive news from all parties in time.The news of Yandu had already been decided before the expedition, only to be entrusted to Liu Chen and Chu Heng.

The solemnity in Chu Heng's words made his heart skip a beat for no reason.

"Master Hou is dead."

"Who?"

"Marquis Jingyuan, Lu Zhan, stumbled and fell off his horse, and landed on the back of his head. He died a few days later. The one who inherits the title now is the elder son Lu Geng."

Lu Ting was silent. He left home as a young man, and he was not far or close to anyone in that family except Yuan Shi.Especially Marquis Jingyuan, who has the name of father and son, but has never had the love of father and son.

But now, when he heard the news of Jingyuanhou's death, he still felt a little shocked.

Looking at the man's thin face, Chu Heng knew that he still had some feelings for Jingyuanhou's mansion in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Madam's letter, please don't worry about the affairs of the mansion, when the emperor orders you to enter the palace, Then go back to the mansion and offer incense to Lord Hou."

Lu Ting lowered his head, pressed against Chu Heng's forehead and said, "Although that man has a bad temper, he hasn't made the same mistake since he fell off a horse once..."

"Your life experience, the emperor knows."

"..."

Chu Heng sat up from the bed and looked down at the man lying beside him.

"I don't know where the emperor started to doubt your life experience. He summoned Marquis Jingyuan and some people who served the late emperor. He also read the notes on the late emperor's daily life, and even went to Changqiu Temple."

"The Marquis of Jingyuan fell from his horse, the former Minister of Taichang Temple died of illness, several imperial officials died suddenly, the Futu Pagoda of Changqiu Temple was destroyed by fire, Master Minghui died in the Pagoda...Cheng Tan, the emperor knows about your life experience."

Lu Ting sat up.

He thought about finding out his life experience, but the things around him happened one after another, and he never had the time to investigate carefully.He knew that he was probably not the child of Marquis Jingyuan, but Zhao Yin's various behaviors confirmed his background on his behalf——

He is the son of the first emperor.

"Your majesty is ruthless. He designed several times to prevent your life experience from being known to the world. You have military merits and King Qing is your backer. Since he can overthrow Zhao Zhen, he will also worry about it." The same thing happened to him. So, he is afraid of you."

Lu Ting understood everything Chu Heng said.

The two of them are not enthusiastic about official careers, but under the influence of their ears and eyes, those things are not incomprehensible.

Zhao Yin is not Emperor Mingde, he can let an ambitious person like Qiu He around him without knowing it.Zhao Yin is used to strike first, which is why he had a conversation with King Qing before.

If this man regards Lu Ting as a threat, he will definitely find a way to get rid of him.

If Lu Ting was in his position, he would have made the same choice.So, no one can say who.

"Keep it a secret. Just pretend you don't know." Lu Ting held Chu Heng's hand, "Since he killed someone who knew, he just wanted to hide my life experience. He doesn't want anyone to use this secret to coax out someone who might be able to compete with him for power and profit in the future." younger brother."

"Correct."

"So, in order to avoid more deaths, my life experience must be concealed, and no one can know. If he wants to cut off all possibilities, I will resign."

Three days later, the Xishan Battalion finally returned to the city.

The people greeted at the gate of the city lit firecrackers, and it was as lively as the New Year.The princess wanted to go out of the mansion to meet He Moer, but Jiang Li developed a high fever last night, worried that the servants would not take care of her properly, so she had to stay in the room.

"The princess can go if she wants, I will take care of Lili."

Chu Heng closed the medicine box, saw the little girl sleeping soundly, and lowered his voice.

Zhao Yan shook her head, and after a long time finally expressed the intention in her heart: "After returning to the palace, Doctor Chu, I want Lili to be my daughter."

Chu Heng was silent: "This child is of mixed Han and Hu blood."

"I know. I don't have a child, and I'm not in good health. I don't know if I can conceive in the future. Lili is my daughter. When I see her, I feel that she is He Moer and my child."

Zhao Yan was kind to Jiang Li, and Chu Heng saw all of it, and he was not opposed to letting the child follow her.It's just that there are some things that must be explained clearly.

He told Zhao Yan exactly what happened about Jiang Qiang.I thought it would make her fall into deep thought and carefully consider whether to adopt Jiang Li, but I didn't want Zhao Yan to cry until she heard the words.

"Her mother is a good person."

"Ah."

"If her mother is still alive, she must be very beautiful."

"Ah."

"Is that Asuna pretty?"

"She's pretty too."

When Chu Heng escaped from Wutun, Asuna had already married a young general in the Xishan Camp.That young general was also a barbarian, but he grew up in Dachang and spoke Chinese. Seeing that Asuna liked him, he proposed to King Qing to marry him.

Asuna was reluctant to let go, and after marrying the young general, she still took care of Jiang Li, but later she was pregnant with a child, and the young general's parents came to pick up the daughter-in-law and go home to raise the baby, so she had to leave the border.Therefore, Zhao Yan has never seen her.

"Let me write her a letter." Zhao Yan wiped away her tears, got up to turn over a pen and paper, "Write a letter and tell her that I want to take Lili as my daughter, and I will definitely take care of Lili instead of her elder sister."

Chu Heng didn't say any more, and only looked at Jiang Li's sweet sleeping face for a while, and then he left the room amidst the lively sounds from far and near.

Zhao Duqing was surrounded by people and walked into the backyard, beside Lu Ting, the two brothers were talking while walking, and waved to say hello when they saw Chu Heng.

Chu Heng nodded with a smile, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.

This is the friendship we grew up with, and no one can change this friendship.But if Zhao Yin really wanted to kill the grass, everyone in Prince Qing's mansion would be implicated.

"I'm on my way to find you."

Liang Xin'an suddenly appeared, Chu Heng smiled, raised his finger and pointed to his collar, and motioned, "Cover it up."

Liang Xin blushed blushingly, and pulled up his collar to cover the marks left by Zhao Duqing on his neck.

"What do you want from me?" Chu Heng suppressed a smile.

"His Royal Highness said that we should pack our luggage and take a short rest. We will leave for Yandu tomorrow."

Chu Heng restrained his smile, and listened to Liang Xin'an's words, his heart gradually sank.

"The emperor summoned us, and it seems that he intends to reward us for our merits."
