The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

The way Wangxi always uses is to pass on the message to those young masters on behalf of Chu Chu. Who in the capital city of Sichuan does not want to be obedient in front of the young master, and think more deeply and hope to gain a relationship with the princess's mansion. .

These people have not seen the little prince for a few days, and the group of dragons has no leader. They feel that life is going to be bad. They have long wanted to come, but they dare not go rashly due to the prestige of the princess. Today they finally waited for the "summoning" and gathered in one place The name is to fish out the little boy.

Not long after, a group of young masters and witty men brought all kinds of expensive tonics and precious decoctions to the door. This time the door was earlier than usual, and the princess did not refuse. Record the birth date of this group of people and let them enter the mansion.

A crowd of people gathered around the rockery gazebo in the courtyard, eating wine, eating melon seeds, eating melon seeds, it was very lively.

From warm to cold, Chu Chu was weak, lying on the imperial concubine's couch and still had to hold a small hand stove, and Zhou Yun sent a steaming papaya stewed snow clam in good time, and drank it to dispel the coolness from his body.

Since there is no need for him to identify people, Chu Chu is not worried about revealing his identity, and they just let them make trouble.

"My little son, you don't know. I have something strange to tell you. You must be interested." A young master said.

"The god of war Gu Zhai came back from the border town a few days ago. Lingguo wanted to hide the news of their general's death, but unexpectedly we already knew."

"Hey, I heard it's different this time. It's not going back to Beijing privately. It's the emperor's urgent order. The news came from the palace. Our General Gu learned that General Weng Shu was dead, so he didn't plan to attack directly. They said they wanted to recruit a surrender officer, and they wanted to hold a sacrificial ceremony and give the steps to the Ling Kingdom to surrender themselves, to the effect that we already knew it and told them not to keep it a secret."

Chu Chu himself led troops to fight against Gu Zhai for five years. How could he not understand what Gu Zhai meant? He guessed that in the past five years, he had lost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in Sichuan. Now that the Ling army has no leader, there is nothing to fear , Gu Zhai wanted to subdue others without fighting.

Fortunately, Gu Changning is quite good at calculating, but it would be a great thing if this kind of tough battle can be avoided.

He just hoped that the people of the Ling Kingdom would no longer suffer from catastrophe. When he was Tao Jiang in his previous life, what he was afraid of seeing was that the city of Panning would be destroyed, corpses would be scattered everywhere, the country would perish, and the people would suffer[1].

"He wants to surrender without fighting." Chu Chu answered casually, making himself feel a little involved.

"He's the God of War, why didn't he take over the job himself, and he has to work so hard to recruit and demote officials, isn't it just a share of the pie with him?" Some young masters were puzzled.

"No matter how capable he is in this matter, it's useless." Chu Chu shook his head and swallowed another piece of papaya.

"How do you say that?"

Chu Chu thought for a while, assuming it was the original owner, what tone would she answer:

"Are you stupid? This battle has been fought for five years, and the people of Ling Kingdom will definitely not have a good impression of him even if they hate him to death. If he goes to surrender by himself, do you think there will be good results? Chu Chu thought about how to make this analogy: "Of course, as soon as one foot enters the city, rotten vegetables and rotten eggs will be greeted first. If it is me, of course I will find someone to lead the way. His own soldiers are absolutely reluctant to do this." If there is a problem, don’t you have to find another fool.”

But if it is to deal with these sons, how can the sons of the aristocratic families who have lived in the capital for a long time understand the five years of war, the internal and external troubles of the Ling Kingdom, even if the rotten vegetables and eggs, the poor people are not willing to spend so much, but Gu Zhai wants to find someone to stand in front The intent is true.

The crowd erupted into laughter, and the young masters sitting around were imagining how the general was "baptized" by rotten leaves and rotten eggs. They really want to see this scene.

These words were arranged by Chu Chugan, and they can be played and chatted here, and they must not be spread outside, and no one continued to chat, because the clever person had helped to change the topic.

"The selection meeting will be held after next week. This is a good opportunity to be promoted and show your face. You don't need to be hungry and warm in the Gongyuan. It's much better than Chunwei. We all want to try it. Will you go?"

"Second Master Wu, you don't look at the status of the young master, how can you treasure this kind of hard work like us." Someone answered for Chu Chu.

But she never thought that Chu Chu nodded, and said softly, "I'll go."

Of course he will go, this is the most upright way to return to Ling Country right now, he is worried that he will not have a chance, even if he wants to become that "stupid bastard", he must go.

Chu Chu quietly pretended to be a servant and followed the crowd out of the princess' mansion, and then secretly left Wangxi in the crowd to find Wanhualou alone.

Wanhualou is Lingguo's investigative agency in Chuanguo, and he insisted on setting it up in the first year of the battle between Lingguo and Chuanguo. The Sichuan dialect book says, "Know yourself and the enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."

On the surface, Wanhualou pretended to be a merchant collecting antiques and treasures. In private, it has been providing information to Lingguo and has never been exposed. It is just that it is not known whether the Wanhualou will be as usual after his death.

There is no shortage of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Shangjing, and these dignitaries are always eager for the world's rare treasures. After the business has grown in recent years, they have also taken care of starting a side job of "inquiry", and the cashier can search for others. Anecdotes and anecdotes, receiving news can be exchanged for other news.

Chu Chu glanced at the plaque with the three golden characters of "Wanhualou" and stepped into the door.

After passing through the main entrance, there is a corridor built on the lake. There is an open-air water platform in the corridor, and the other side of the water platform is connected to the corridor again. Only through this corridor can you really reach the front of the building.

It is three buildings connected in series and stacked one on top of the other to form the word "mountain". If one stands on the top of the building, one can see the square water platform at a glance.

He strolled towards the main building, and saw that the guys in the building were all busy, and the shopkeeper of the main building was banging his abacus loudly.

Chu Chu didn't care whether anyone was paying attention to him, and said, "I heard that Wanhualou hides all the treasures in the world. I don't know if there is anything I want here?"

The purpose of Wanhualou is to welcome visitors. Before finding out the identity and intention of the other party, even if you look at Chu Chu dressed as a servant, you will not neglect him, not to mention that this person does not look like a servant. So simple.

The shopkeeper was very shrewd. Putting down his work, he could squeeze out a flower with a smile on his face, and said: "If we don't have it in Wanhualou, then you may not be able to find it elsewhere. You may as well describe what you want first. If we don’t have it in Wanhua Building, I can help you to find it.”

Chu Chu didn't choose to talk nonsense with him, he said:

"Listen carefully. What I want are the spring willows in Baqiao, the egrets in Gudu, the snow in Taibai, and the smoke in thatched cottage." [2]

"This is rare. The fog in the thatched cottage is easy to disperse and hard to survive. The ancient heron is also very abundant. The Baqiao is rebuilt with new species of willows. There is no snow left in Taibai." The shopkeeper stroked his beard intently, and the abacus in his hand still did not stop Down.

"That's a pity." Chu Chu expressed regret.

"If you are willing, you can talk to our shopkeeper in detail, and please talk inside." The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, as if to lure Chu Chu inward.

The willows of the Baqiao and the herons of the ancient crossing are the grand sights that Chuan Kingdom is proud of. Chu Chu also saw it from the scriptures. The Taibai Snow and Caotang Fog refer to the Taibai Mountain and Caotang Temple in Lingguo that are covered by snow all the year round. An ancient well with rising smog, he combined the characteristics of Chuanling into one, and turned it into Wanhualou, which is the highest level of code word, which is equivalent to his inscription.

After sitting here for a while, a young woman came down from the attic not long after. She was pretty in appearance, but she had an excellent temperament. This is the nominal owner of Wanhualou.

"I am the owner of Wanhualou, you may wish to negotiate with me." The woman smiled, and her conversation was a kind of gentleness.

Chu Chu also smiled, and said, "It's been a long time, Yu Chuan."

After he finished speaking, he put away his disguise and resumed his demeanor and tone when he was still a general of the Ling Kingdom.

Although Yu Chuan is a native of Sichuan, he was once exiled to the border, was rescued by him by chance, and was later ordered to work for him in Shangjing, and kept in touch with him with carrier pigeons, and would never betray him. There is no problem with Lou's existence. Speaking of which, he changed her name again, Yu Chuan Yu Chuan, because she had to help resist Chuan Kingdom.

"Master, it's really you, haven't you already...how did you..." Miss Yu Chuan almost cried.

"Gone?" He smiled.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I became the son of Princess Chuan Guo when my eyes were dark." Chu Chu said helplessly.

Yu Chuan suppressed her tears, and her eyes suddenly became firm. She said, "It's good that the master is still alive. The country of Sichuan is not safe. I will immediately prepare a car to send the master back to the country."

Chu Chu stopped her, "There's no hurry, I can't go back yet, I need to think long-term."

Yu Chuan was a little puzzled.

Chu Chu smiled and said: "I go back in this state, what is it? Let alone my body bears the identity of the son of the princess of Sichuan, even if I go back, who will really believe that I am Tao Jiang, who belongs to them?" That General Weng Shu."

He also said: "The brothers in the army have treated me wholeheartedly for five years, they may be able to trust me without any doubts, but how can the people of Ling Kingdom let them accept it for a while."

"Even if we persuade them and everything goes back to the confrontation between the two armies, are we going to put them in the flames of war again? The Ling Kingdom is already weak, and it can't stand it for a while. Now I can't fight on the battlefield anymore. His strength in one battle, if I die in battle..."

"Fortunately, Chuan Guo didn't want to attack by force but wanted to surrender. Compared with the two, it's better to push the boat along the way..." He didn't continue.

Yu Chuan said: "Bah, bah, master, don't curse yourself, master's life is long, if it wasn't for master, Ling Kingdom would have perished long ago, master has done enough for Ling Kingdom, there is no need to take your life. "

I am afraid that my life is no longer in my control, Chu Chu stood by the window, the smile just now turned into a wry smile, and her eyes were deep.

"I'm afraid I will have to stay in Sichuan for a long time in the future." Chu Chu told her.

"Master, what are your plans?"

"No need to ask, send news back to Ling Kingdom as soon as possible, and tell the Holy Majesty that instead of refusing to surrender, it is better to follow the wishes of Sichuan Kingdom and protect the people. Don't reveal too much news about my life. There are still many spies placed by Sichuan Kingdom. "

Chu Chu said again: "This time, if I can be selected for the selection of recruiting officials, I can take the opportunity to return to the mausoleum, and I will discuss the rest with them at that time."

Yu Chuan found a suitable young man's attire for Chu Chu, and after Chu Chu changed into it, he didn't plan to stay for a long time, so as not to cause trouble, but he met two people when he was about to go out.

Chu Chu only glanced at it, and saw that the clothes were not dressed by ordinary people. The one next to him had a simple gold crown pinned on his head. He was estimated to be in his early twenties, and he was shaking a flower and bird folding fan.

The other person next to the golden crowned person was also looking at Chu Chu with his eyes. Chu Chu felt that this person seemed familiar. After waiting to see, the golden crowned person had already pulled him into the door, so Chu Chu simply stopped paying attention and went on his own. leave.

At that time, the two had already entered the Wanhua Building.

"Are you familiar with the man who went out just now?" the man asked the man wearing the golden crown.

"Familiar, who doesn't know the little son of the princess's natal family."

"I don't know who it is, it turned out to be him, but he doesn't seem to know you." The man was a little joking.

"Do I look like the kind of person who works with him? That young master... don't mention it, he is a troublemaker. You haven't been in Shangjing for many years. You don't know. He is a top-notch young man in the city. See his face No, he looks good. If he is older, I am afraid that the top boys in the market will not be able to compare with him. I don’t know how many little girls’ feelings he has cheated. The young master loves him, he himself has been among thousands of flowers, all the flowers are on his body, it seems to be rumored that he likes men, and hangs out with those young masters all day long."

"If you use this to find fault with him in front of the emperor, but you see that he was like a dog just now, like a well-mannered son of a family, and he didn't really spoil anyone by calling him romantic, and no one can take it To show evidence, those who like him and follow him are all willing, and this fault-finding person will also commit the crime of slandering the royal family and deliberately smearing, who dares to provoke the princess's mansion for this."

"However, why are you so interested in him? Could it be that you are also fascinated by his face, which is more handsome than a woman? As a good brother, I advise you to stay away from him, lest you will not be able to get away."

The person being interrogated had a contemptuous smile on his lips, as if he was dissatisfied with his companion's suspicion of him, and said:

"I hate this kind of dandy the most in my life, and I have never stopped."

Gu: I will never stop!

Chu: Wait for the slap in the face.
