The gates of the city were wide open, and the common people lined up to welcome them. The soldiers were surrounded by the crowd, with smiles on their faces.Zhao Chuang's posture was agile, he squeezed out from the crowd, squeezed to the edge, and saw a small figure standing not far away.Zhao Rui blinked his big black eyes, blinked twice, ran over suddenly, and rushed into Zhao Chuang's arms.

Zhao Chuang bent down and hugged Zhao Rui, pinched the little guy all over the body, the pinched little guy giggled, the little guy's hands hugged his neck tightly, and a tinge appeared on his chubby face. Layers of redness.

"Have you missed me?" Zhao Chuang asked.

Zhao Rui's chin rested on Zhao Chuang's shoulder.Zhao Chuang only felt his shoulders being tapped twice by the little guy's chin, gently.Zhao Chuang knew, the little guy nodded.

Zhao Chuang grinned, hugged the little guy's face, gnawed a couple of mouthfuls, touched the little guy's head, and said in surprise, "Baby, why did your hair grow?"

Zhao Rui rubbed his head against Zhao Chuang's neck, and the rough hair stuck on his neck, making Zhao Chuang laugh.Zhao Rui had two small buns tied on his head, his face was puffed up, and there was a spirit between his brows.

"The day Daddy left, I didn't cut my hair. I was thinking, how long my hair will grow, Daddy will come back." Zhao Rui said word by word.

Zhao Chuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. His son had to worry about him every day... Zhao Chuang couldn't help pinching his face: "From now on, your father will completely take care of the baby at home."

Zhao Rui's eyes sparkled: "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for? The father's debt is paid by the son. If I can't do it, you will do it." Zhao Chuang said.

In the past few years, their father and son always get together less and leave more. Zhao Rui, the little baby, lives in fear all day long, always worried that something will happen to his father.Hearing his father's words at this time, Zhao Rui was so happy that he didn't even correct the mistakes in his father's words, but hugged his neck tightly and responded sweetly.

Li Ci followed the father and son, seeing the two getting bored with each other, a smile appeared on his face, and the three of them walked back to Chuangwang's mansion together under the setting sun.

Chuang Wang's Mansion is still called Chuang Wang's Mansion, Zhao Chuang has changed from a local emperor to a prince bestowed by the emperor, and has become an idle prince.

It's a reunion dinner at night.Zhao Chuang, Li Ci, Zhao Rui, Zhuge Long, and the uninvited Shi Tianlang and Zhao Wu also joined in, a total of six people sat at the dinner table.

It was not the first time for Shi Tianlang to come to Youzhou City, but in the past he always concealed his identity, this time he walked outside openly and with his beloved by his side, the mood was completely different.He took Zhao Wujiang around Youzhou City, whatever Zhao Wu wanted, he would give.When going out, Zhao Wu still looked at him coldly, and occasionally smiled at him when he came back.Shi Tianlang was so happy that he willingly became a porter.

Now sitting at the dining table, Shi Tianlang just took a breath, just as he took his seat, he met a little doll.The little doll was wearing a bun, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of shiny black eyes, looking at him curiously.Shi Tianlang killed too many people, even though he looked handsome, his face was full of evil spirit.So many little dolls would cry out of fear when they saw him.But this little doll is different.Seeing this for the first time, Shi Tianlang fell in love with it, restrained his anger, and asked, "What's the name of this baby?"

"Zhao Rui, the wise are transparent." Zhao Rui said seriously.

Shi Tianlang couldn't help looking at Zhao Chuang, and when he mentioned Zhao Rui, he remembered that Zhao Chuang had a son named 'Zhao Rui'.This doll is Zhao Chuang's son, isn't that his own... Shi Tianlang suddenly felt soft in his heart, and couldn't help but carefully look at the little doll's eyebrows and eyes, every time he looked at it, he felt a little bit of joy.He thought that he would have no offspring in this life, and he was ready to die alone, but at this moment, he had a son, and even a grandson... Shi Tianlang couldn't wait to walk over, hug the little baby into his arms, and hugged the baby with all his strength. Kneaded.

"Are you hungry?" Zhao Rui asked, propping his chin.Shi Tianlang's eyes fell on him as if he had been hungry for a long time.

Shi Tianlang's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously nodded.

"Li Ci, give this to him." Zhao Rui pointed to a plate of meat in front of him and said.

Li Ci nodded, grabbed his sleeve with one hand, and brought the plate of meat to Sirius Shi with the other.Shi Tianlang thought that it was his grandson's filial piety to him, so he burst into joy, hugged the plate of meat and ate it, but in Zhao Rui's heart, he regarded him as a refugee who had been starving for several months.Shi Tianlang ate so happily that even Zhao Wu couldn't help turning his head to look at him, and then stared straight at the meat on his plate, thinking that it was some kind of delicacy in the world.

"Zhao Rui, who is your mother?" Shi Tianlang continued to ask after eating the meat.

As soon as this question was asked, the whole dining table suddenly fell silent, and even Zhao Chuang's voice of chewing meat became quieter.Shi Tianlang stared at Zhao Chuang inexplicably, tried his best to think back, not realizing that he had done something wrong, and then continued to stare at Zhao Rui.Zhao Rui's eyes rolled around, looked at Zhao Chuang, then at Li Ci, and finally stretched out his hand, pointing at Li Ci.

Li Ci: "..."

Shi Tianlang glanced around Zhao Chuang and Li Ci suspiciously, and finally realized what he did wrong belatedly.From this point of view, the baby was clearly born by Zhao Chuang, and the child's father is... Shi Tianlang took a look at Li Ci, and then he reluctantly felt that Li Ci was more pleasing to the eye.

It can be said that this meal was eaten very harmoniously, except for Shi Tianlang who was in a turmoil, the rest of the people ate very peacefully.Zhao Rui sat among the crowd, often picking up vegetables for Zhao Chuang, and occasionally for Zhuge Long, and sometimes Li Ci put the bowl in front of him, and Zhao Rui reluctantly picked up the bowl, and when it was late at night, everyone ate too Got a belly full.

After Zhao Chuang took a bath, he went back to his room.The room was very clean, and the quilt still smelled of sunlight. It was obvious that someone had been cleaning up the room after he left.Zhao Chuang was lying on the bed in his underwear. He hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed for a long time.Zhao Wu was taken away by Shi Tianlang, Zhao Rui was nestling in his arms, Zhuge Long was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, slowly sipping.His eyes occasionally drifted across the bed, Zhao Chuang had already closed his eyes, with a deep tired look between his eyebrows, as if he had fallen asleep.Zhao Rui popped a head out of Zhao Chuang's arms, blinking his eyes at Zhuge Long.Zhuge Long looked at him with a slight smile, put down his cup, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Zhuge Long, how long have we known each other?" Zhao Chuang asked suddenly.

"Nine years." Zhuge Long said almost without thinking.

"Nine years..." Zhao Chuang opened his eyes and sat up straight, "If I want to say that I owe anyone in this world, then that person is you, Zhuge Long."

I met him when he was at his worst, and he saved him. For so many years, the two of them have been almost dependent on each other. They walked out of the danger, climbed up step by step, and reached the position of King Chuang.And after that, every time he left Youzhou City, Zhuge Long would guard him, guard his home, and take care of his precious son, so that he would have no worries.Although Zhuge Long had always addressed him as a ruler and minister, Zhao Chuang knew that he was not a wise king, so Zhuge Long was not his good minister either.What Zhuge Long did for him was not a relationship between a monarch and his ministers, but... They had known each other for nine years, but they were more like relatives. Zhuge Long had done so much for him, but he didn't know what Zhuge Long wanted.

"Zhuge Long, is there anything you want?" Zhao Chuang asked.

Zhuge Long sat back on the chair again, seemingly lost in thought.Zhao Chuang stared at him, waiting for his answer.

Zhuge Long thought for a quarter of an hour, then shook his head.

Zhao Chuang frowned: "You are full of knowledge and outstanding martial arts. Zhuge Long, I remember you said before that you should be a minister of power, under one person and above ten thousand, so that your grandfather will no longer despise you."

Zhuge Long's expression changed. He did say that, but that was nine years ago, and they had known each other not long ago.He didn't expect that Zhao Chuang still remembered.He was a little moved, and his mood was a little ups and downs.

Zhuge Long restrained his face, smiled and said: "It happened nine years ago. At that time, it was just a sigh of relief. Now that my grandfather has returned to the dust, those thoughts have faded away." Zhuge Long glanced at Zhao Chuang, Suddenly said, "Qingli, I want to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Zhao Chuang asked.

"If Li Ci became the emperor, what would you do?" Zhuge Long asked.

Zhao Chuang's face was blank at first.Now that the world is initially settled, and Li Ci is the greatest hero, no one in the entire Southern Qi can stop Li Ci from proclaiming himself emperor.To be an emperor, above ten thousand people, to step on this great river and mountain, to become this supreme person, this seems to be the way for Li Ci.

He and Li Ci have experienced life and death, but they can't be completely free of grudges.If in the past, Li Ci got what he always wanted, he would be happy for him, but now, if Li Ci really became emperor, what would he do?

Zhao Chuang's confusion was only momentary: "He is his emperor, so I will naturally enjoy a piece of land and water in Youzhou City and raise my son."

Zhuge Long glanced at him, as if looking into the depths of his heart, then slowly shook his head.Zhao Chuang didn't know what he meant by shaking his head. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuge Long had already opened his mouth: "Qingli, you just asked me what I want. I don't want power, and I don't want fame and fortune. What I want now is to get out of the secluded world." Go to Zhoucheng, go out of Tanyun Sanzhou, go out of Nanqi, and see the great rivers and mountains under the blue sky, and the vast territory."

Zhao Chuang stared at him with wide eyes: "Do you want to leave here and travel around the world?"
