"If one day I committed a crime and escaped, and the emperor ordered you to chase me back, what would you do?"

"Chongming, what's the matter?" Bai Shiyan suddenly turned cold, staring at him in a daze: "You still said you didn't have a nightmare! Or something happened? Did it have something to do with Brother Xiaoqu? Don't lie to me!"

"It's just a dream, just once, and it has nothing to do with him," Liu Chongming told the truth, and continued to ask: "You answer my question——if the Liu family is convicted and I run away alone, and the emperor orders you to arrest me, what will you do?" How to do it?"

"No, Chongming," Bai Shiyan persuaded him seriously, as if he wanted to wake him up from his nightmare: "Don't be so pessimistic, the Bailiu family has been loyal to Dayu for many years, it won't happen."

"What if?" Liu Chongming didn't listen to these comforting words, and continued directly: "Will you pretend to be defeated and choose to die in my hands, while protecting me and the Bai family?"

"Chongming, don't think about it," Bai Shiyan touched his forehead: "Is he talking nonsense to you again! I'll go find him!"

Liu Chongming forced a smile.

Although Shi Yan didn't answer, he was sure that if there was a day when Shi Yan was in a dilemma, he might really give up on himself.

It's just that he forgot to ask Qu Shenzhou, what happened to the Bai family after the Liu family?

He patted Bai Shiyan on the shoulder: "He didn't talk nonsense. If you are worried, you can go and talk to him. I happen to have something to do, and I want to entrust him to you to take care of him for a while."

Bai Shiyan was still immersed in the fright just now, looked at him suspiciously, and asked after a long time: "What's the matter?"

"When I entertain King Ning and King Huai later, it is inconvenient to take him with me. You take him to a suitable place and wait for them to meet them when they come in and out. Don't let anyone find out. I know you are busy, but entrust I don't worry about others."

"Alright," Bai Shiyan replied, "I'll deal with him too."

Liu Chongming smiled wryly, in fact, he didn't want to see Shi Yan so full of vigilance, but Qu Shenzhou didn't mind, saying that Shi Yan is a good person, and he will take care of the rest.

"He and King Huai seem to be at odds with each other. What I'm talking about is to take care of him... Be careful that he loses control of his emotions."

"Where are the things?" the person behind the screen asked in a low voice.

Dan Lang was a little unhappy, it was fine for him to be neglected and wronged in the mansion, and after he came out, he was directly led here, no one cared about his situation, he only cared about asking for things.

"I haven't got it yet," he didn't dare to be angry, he could only explain patiently: "I can't even get close to the study, let alone the bedroom, there are always people coming and going in the yard, where can I get it, let Master Changshi wait. "

The person behind the screen seemed to know his situation well, he only urged to hurry up, and then asked: "What about that person, how does the prince treat him?"

As soon as these words were mentioned, Dan Lang felt even more oppressed. No matter how he looked at him, he could see that the prince cared a lot about that clown, but if he said it, it would make him even more embarrassing.

"My son is busy going in and out every day." He suppressed his anger and said against his will, "I don't see how much he is valued. Except that he can live in a sarong, he is not the same as me."

The man was silent for a long time before he asked, "Really?"

"really!"

After getting his resolute answer, the man was silent for a moment again, no longer entangled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Dan Lang snort angrily, but he didn't dare to make any noise, so he could only turn out of the cubicle lightly, and when he saw the guards waiting outside, his expression had completely softened.

The guard was indifferent to his sweet smile and only asked, "Have you bought anything yet?"

He saw that Qu Shenzhou often went out, although he didn't even know how to thrush, but he wore fragrance all day long, so he naturally didn't feel annoyed to be compared, and he chose bright and fragrant good things.

Fortunately, although Shizi lost his initial enthusiasm for him and rarely found him even at night, he was willing to let him choose in his own shop.

The place where they agreed to meet was naturally not under Liu Chongming's name, and he couldn't buy anything, so he forced a smile, bowed his head and went out.

When he crossed the threshold, someone came in hurriedly. He knew his identity and didn't dare to collide with him, so he hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

The man had already entered the door, and suddenly turned his head to look at him: "Who am I, no wonder he looks familiar, Dan Lang!"

Hearing this voice, Dan Lang couldn't hide the surprise on his face, his eyes were reddish and he knelt down on the ground: "My lord."

When Qu Chenzhou was going out, he met Dan Lang who was coming in under the hanging lotus pillar, he stood up again, and asked with concern: "My lord, are you crying?"

"Where is it?" Dan Lang raised his sleeve and touched his blushing cheeks: "It's just sweat flowing into his eyes, the weather is so hot, where is little Shenzhou going?"

"Let's go for a walk," Qu Chenzhou made way for him, "It's hot, my lord asked someone to bring some ice cubes to the house, let's have a good rest."

The two saluted each other and walked away.

Qu Chenzhou went around to the side door, there was a carriage parked there, after he entered, he started to walk slowly.

Since revealing their identities, this is the first time the two have been alone together.

Although Bai Shiyan repeatedly patted his chest and asked Liu Chongming to send him to me to watch, but when he was really in such a narrow space with a person, thinking about the strange origin of this person, he felt a little cold all over his body.

Especially when he found that Qu Shenzhou was watching him quietly.

Having been in the officialdom and on the battlefield for many years, now that this pair of different pupils stared at him silently, Bai Shiyan felt a creepy feeling for the first time.

"Divination for me?" He didn't like this passive situation, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the result?"

Qu Chenzhou didn't feel any embarrassment because of being exposed, and after simply answering "No", he asked: "General Bai, I heard from your son that the floods in Jinnan Mansion are serious, and the little general Bai led the troops to quell the bandits. ?"

Bai Shiyan cursed in his heart, when did Chongming's mouth become a colander.

Before waiting for his answer, Qu Chenzhou continued to talk to himself slowly: "The emperor will definitely not only let the Bai family send troops by themselves. If you want to suppress the bandits, the people who go with you should be the people of King Qi."

Bai Shiyan's expression froze, his younger brother did not lead the troops himself, but he didn't even tell Liu Chongming about it.

"What happened to King Qi's people?"

He couldn't help asking, but the other party suddenly changed the subject: "Who is the Jiedushi of Jinnan?"

"It's Ren Rui." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he was worried about his younger brother, and he was taken away from the rhythm without knowing it. Not only did he answer all questions, he didn't even think about explaining who Ren Rui was .

Faced with such calmness, he subconsciously believed that the other party must know.

"Ren Rui," Qu Chenzhou sneered, "I'm afraid he is responsible for the prevalence of bandits in southern Jinan. But there are people behind him to protect him. If he is exonerated this time, he will be transferred to the capital in the future, which will be a serious problem for the army."

"With this mistake, can he still be transferred to the Gyeonggi Army?"

Qu Chenzhou lowered his eyes and remained silent, if he continued to speak, it would involve too much.

This Ren Rui was not only transferred to the army, but because of his violent and bloodthirsty temperament, he even stepped forward when the palace was forced, and he made great contributions.

When Liu Chongming was trapped in Yingshan City by the enemy, the emperor asked him a question - who can take Yingshan?Who can take Liu Chongming's life?

He replied——Ren Ruike captured Yingshan.

For the second question, he only answered the emperor - if he could bring Liu Chongming in front of him and let him take a look at him, he would know who would take Liu Chongming's life.

This is a knot, and the emperor has nothing to do.

Afterwards, Yingshan City was indeed captured, but Ren Rui died on the way to continue the pursuit, and Liu Chongming was able to escape.

Maybe from that time, maybe earlier, the emperor became suspicious of him.

"Ren Rui belongs to King Huai. If it's just a trivial matter, it's not impossible to keep it. General Bai just needs to know about it and don't say anything."

He looked at Bai Shiyan: "It's just that little general Bai is young and flamboyant, and has a straightforward personality. I'm afraid I have to go through the whole story when I go to Jinnan Mansion this time. No matter what I find, it must be related to Ren Rui."

Although Bai Shiyan grew up in the army, even if he was not good at dealing with the intertwined relationship between the court and the court, he gradually heard something bad: "You mean that the more Shi Lei investigates clearly, the more he will offend King Huai?"

"Cha, it doesn't matter, it should be, otherwise, when it comes to dereliction of duty, it will be difficult for little general Bai to explain, but it shouldn't be the Bai family who should fight with King Huai." Is the little general together?"

Bai Shiyan laughed, and flew away in a tense and serious manner since he got in the car. He found that this man's cunning was sometimes similar to Chong Ming's, and he couldn't get enough of it.

"Okay, I will send someone to quietly send a letter to Shi Lei today, telling him not to be greedy for credit, and to give the great credit to King Qi."

Qu Chenzhou raised his finger to touch his lips, made a "hush" mouth shape, and then blinked.

"Young age also has its advantages. If others complain, the emperor will inevitably think too much. If the outspoken little general Bai speaks a few words of public opinion, the matter will always be dug deeper."

Bai Shiyan didn't want to laugh too much, so he could only cover his eyes with his hands, and replied after a while: "I understand."

With this episode, the atmosphere in the carriage became less tense.

It was only then that Bai Shiyan realized what Liu Chongming had said before, and what Qu Shenzhou reminded him was not a problem.

He had a straightforward temper, and when he became less defensive, he blurted out the words he had kept in his stomach for a long time: "You have a grudge against King Huai? What kind of grudge?"

Qu Chenzhou put his hands in his sleeves, and said helplessly: "How should I answer this question? It's always an unpleasant thing, so let me have some secrets of my own."

"It's really straightforward to refuse." Bai Shiyan couldn't help laughing: "No wonder Chongming said that he always bumped into soft nails with you, and you made him very angry."

"I don't dare," Qu Chenzhou replied humbly: "I dare not say that I know everything, but I have tried my best. It's just that my son is always curious about my past, which makes me very embarrassed."

Bai Shiyan was not like Liu Chongming, who was obviously full of curiosity and doubts, and wanted to ask around the corner. He asked more directly: "Are you really a person who came back from the dead?"

"really."

"Then you..." He was halfway through the question, seeing Qu Chenzhou's rejection clearly written on his face, he stopped making fun of him: "Okay, don't ask."

Qu Chenzhou glanced at him, turned his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up.

It's understandable how much Bai Shiyan cares about Chongming, and how wary he is of him.

But he had been friends with the Bai family brothers for several years in the previous life, and the two brothers were both straightforward, so how could he not know how to subdue and deal with them?
