Lu Qiqi came to the other courtyard with a food box, but no one came before they heard. "My lord and concubine, I made West Lake vinegar fish and squirrel mandarin fish!"

Luo Chengyu sighed instantly: "Uncle Seven is too obsessed with cooking."

He accidentally said that he wanted to eat squirrel mandarin fish, but Lu Qiqi started cooking squirrel mandarin fish every day, which made him tired of eating it.

Li Chengyun smiled unkindly: "Who said that Uncle Seven's dishes are full of love?"

"You gloat!" Luo Chengyu rushed over to scratch him.

At that time, Li Chengyun complained that he didn't want to eat fish anymore, so he said that it was Uncle Qi's love.

Li Chengyun hugged him firmly, and the two made a fuss.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lu Qiqi leaned against the door frame, looking at the young couple hugging each other with great interest.

Luo Chengyu pushed Li Chengyun away in embarrassment, and was two meters away from him in an instant.

Li Chengyun cleared his throat, pulled Luo Chengyu back into his arms, and then said coldly to Lu Qiqi: "Should Uncle Qi not look at evil?"

Lu Qiqi smiled nonchalantly and said, "If you're making out in the front yard in broad daylight, can you avoid being seen?"

Li Chengyun's face darkened.

Lu Qiqi put two plates of fish on the table, took out his chopsticks, and said with twinkling eyes: "My lord and concubine, quickly try the dishes I made today."

At this time, Yang Aixuan also came over.

Li Chengyun hurriedly said: "Uncle Yang, come and sit down, let's try Uncle Seven's dishes together."

Lu Qiqi protects the food and refuses to feed Yang Aixuan, but insists on letting Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu eat fish.

Yang Aixuan glanced at him lightly, and then said to Li Chengyun: "My lord, I have nothing important to do, I just want to meet you and the princess."

Li Chengyun smiled and said, "You are always welcome."

Lu Qiqi clicked his tongue several times, and said meaningfully: "Guan Yang is really free."

"When it comes to leisure, it's not as good as Guanshi Lu." Yang Aixuan smiled lightly, looking at him with intriguing eyes. "The general's former personal guards, how many people did Guanshi Lu find?"

"I will report this matter to the prince later."

Yang Aixuan scoffed.

The eyes of the two met, and the moment was like lightning and thunder, and swords were on the verge of breaking out.

Li Chengyun coughed lightly, and said, "Uncle Qi, what happened to the personal guard?" To be honest, he was really anxious.

Lu Qiqi replied: "Reporting to the lord, we have found ten people, nine of them are still in the army, and one is in Jinling City."

"What is this person's name, where does he live, and what does he do for a living?"

"His name is Hao Dali, and he runs a bun shop on Baixia Street in the east of the city."

Li Chengyun nodded.

Lu Qiqi and Yang Aixuan bid farewell and left together.

However, when Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu were about to go out in Baixia Street, Yang Aixuan turned back.

"My lord, I have something important to report."

"Manager Yang, please tell me." Li Chengyun did not avoid Luo Chengyu, but only asked Li Qi to be more careful, so as not to be overheard.

"My lord, my subordinates accidentally discovered that Lu Qiqi's people were entering and leaving Huainan Palace."

Li Chengyun was stunned, "Is there a misunderstanding? Is there a relative in the palace, or was it sent by Uncle Seven?"

"No, my subordinates have sent people to check. Lu Qiqi's people entered Huainan Wang's study room and talked in secret for nearly two hours. Because the palace is heavily guarded, my people didn't come close to the study room to hear what they said. .”

"I see." Li Chengyun frowned, "Uncle Yang, don't say anything about this."

"Yes."

"By the way, have you and Uncle Qi always gotten along like this?"

"My lord's guess is right. Lu Qiqi didn't say a word of truth, and he acted completely out of order." Yang Aixuan frowned tightly, "Ruan Jingyuan and I were the first to follow the lord, and Lu Qiqi came later. He is only 14 years old, but he is already well-rounded."

"But he seems to have been faithful to his late father."

"But the general has passed away. Since the general passed away, Lu Qiqi has become more and more reckless."

Li Chengyun said in a deep voice: "Uncle Yang, let's go back first, I have my own judgment on this matter."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

Luo Chengyu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Chengyun, and waited for him to drink before saying: "Before contacting them, I have made various preparations in advance."

"Yeah, after so many years, anything is possible."

He would not trust any of the three stewards.

"Let's go to the bun shop."

"Ah."

Dali steamed stuffed buns were spread out in the bustling city, and a small long table was set up in the shop, Hao Dali yelled vigorously from time to time.

"One vegetable bag and one meat bag."

"Okay." Hao Dali swiftly wrapped two buns separately with oiled paper.

Li Chengyun was taken aback for a moment, this rough guy with three big and five rough was unexpectedly careful.

Luo Chengyu sat in front of the long table and took small bites of the vegetable buns, while Li Chengyun ate the meat buns in two or three bites.

Li Chengyun talked to Hao Dali: "Boss, the steamed stuffed buns are pretty good, how many years have you been making steamed stuffed buns?"

Hao Dali paused for a moment when he moved the drawer, and then said naturally: "I've been doing it since I was a child." It was like chatting with customers.

From the moment Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu approached, Hao Dali knew that they were not here to buy buns.

"The boss's business seems to be good, can one person be busy?"

"If you can't be too busy, you have to be busy. There are old and young, and the whole family is waiting to be fed."

"Is there any relatives and friends who can rely on?"

Hao Dali took off the towel on his shoulders, wiped the sweat off his face, and his face became serious.

"Are the two masters eating buns, or inquiring about things?"

Li Chengyun curled his lips into a smile, and said truthfully: "Inquire about things."

Hao Dali put the lid of the steamer over the drawer full of steamed buns, pulled up a stool and sat down, "Let's talk about it."

"Your name is Hao Dali?"

"That's right. Just ask the neighbors and you'll know."

"Ever enlisted in the army?"

"Yes." Hao Dali showed alertness in his eyes.

"Recognize Li Dongyi?"

"Who exactly are you?"

"Li Dongyi was my late father's name."

"You are... Nan'an County King?" Hao Dali looked at him in disbelief.

As soon as this title came out, it meant that he had paid attention to Li Chengyun's affairs.

Li Chengyun nodded and showed his seal.

Hao Dali pinched himself hard, then closed the bun shop and invited them to his home.

There is no elderly in his family, and he has two children.

Luo Chengyu temporarily asked Mu Sheng to buy a lot of things for the children to eat and play.

Hao Dali boiled water to make tea, and said to them: "My family has gone to work, doing laundry in the clothing store. These two children are usually at home by themselves, but fortunately they are obedient and sensible. Aunt Zhang next door will often come to help have a look."

After all, it was Li Dongyi's old department, and Li Chengyun was thinking about how to help him.

"When did the prince and concubine come to Jinling? I don't know what you want from me?"

Li Chengyun said: "My king and my concubine came to the south of the Yangtze River to play. I accidentally heard that you were in the army of my late father, so I came to have a look."

"It turns out that this is the case, the prince has a heart."

"Hao Dali, can you tell me something about your late father in the military camp?"

"Okay." Hao Dali smiled, "The general is both civil and military, and treats people kindly. In the army, everyone praises him."

Hao Dali recalled, bit by bit, telling the past of following Li Dongyi in the war.

It's easy for anyone to tell that Hao Dali respects Li Dongyi very much.

When talking about the last battle, Hao Dali's face was stained with sorrow, and he blamed himself: "It's our fault. As the general's personal guards, we didn't protect the general well. That arrow hit the target impartially. The general's heart, if I am faster, I can block it for the general."

While talking, Hao Dali burst into tears.

Li Chengyun murmured: "It turns out that my father was shot in the heart by an arrow and died."

In his memory, what he saw was the whole army, carrying the coffin back to Beijing.

From the beginning to the end, all he knew was that his father died in battle, but he never knew exactly how he died.No one had ever told him, and he had never asked.

Hao Dali wiped his tears vigorously with his sleeve, "That's right, it's an arrow."

"Do you still remember which direction the arrow came from?"

"Front left." Hao Dali's eyes burst out with hatred, "I will never forget the situation at that time in my life."

"Is it confirmed that it is the enemy's arrow?"

"There is a sign of a tartar on the arrow." Hao Dali said in a daze, "What does your lord suspect?"

"No, just to ask clearly. This king will go to the tartars to avenge this revenge."

Hao Dali was stunned for a moment, then he asked in surprise, "My lord wants to join the army?"

"Exactly."

Hao Dali hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "If I remember correctly, the general once said that he doesn't want the prince to join the army when he grows up."

Now it was Li Chengyun's turn to be stunned for a while, and then said: "Perhaps my late father was just talking for a while."

Hao Dali nodded and said: "It is a good thing for a son to inherit his father's career, the general will bless the prince to be invincible."

Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu continued to sit for a while, and continued to listen to Hao Dali's story about the marching and fighting.

Finally, when they left, they left some money for Hao Dali.

After leaving Hao Dali's house, Luo Chengyu asked softly, "Do you believe what Hao Dali said?"

"We'll know the truth soon." The moment they left Hao Dali's house, the hidden guards stared at him.

"I've spent most of my time in the other courtyard these days. Let's take a good look around Jinling City."

Luo Chengyu nodded and frowned, "Let's take a boat tour on the Qinhuai River in the evening."

"Okay." Li Chengyun also smiled.

Putting aside the bad things, the young couple wandered around the market.

Tired of shopping, I went to a nearby tea house to sit.

In the teahouse, the storyteller is telling a good story about a gifted scholar and a beautiful lady.

The official daughter fell in love with the poor scholar, but the family married the rich son, and the poor scholar silently guarded her infatuatedly.It wasn't until the rich son died unfortunately, and the official daughter became a widow at a young age, that the poor scholar could finally continue to boldly pursue his sweetheart, and finally the lover finally got married.

Li Chengyun lowered his eyes, and said to Li Rong: "Go and find out how this story came about?"

"Yes."

Luo Chengyu looked at Li Chengyun worriedly, "Don't think too much, this place is far away from the capital, so there should be no insinuations."

Li Rong sent two ingots of silver, and immediately came back to report after asking about the news: "Young master, someone gave the storyteller silver to tell the storyteller."

Hearing this, Li Chengyun laughed in a low voice instead, "Interesting."

Luo Chengyu poured him a cup of tea and said, "After drinking this cup, let's go to another place for a walk."

"it is good."

After drinking the tea, the young couple left the teahouse directly.

In the private room of the tea house, a young man in brocade clothes listened to the report of his attendants in a daze, and said to himself in surprise: "Li Chengyun didn't do anything, just left like this."

In fact, how could Li Chengyun not be angry?

However, since someone wanted to make him angry, he just didn't like it.

The young couple came to a restaurant. After looking at the menu, they ordered a few dishes avoiding fish.

When the food is served on the table, it is also when the unexpected guest appears.

"Both of you, can we share a table together?"

"There are so many empty tables here, why do you like to compete with others?" Li Chengyun sneered.

Zhou Chenan sat down familiarly, and said familiarly, "Why do you have such an attitude when you see an old friend?"

Both Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu looked at him in surprise, with doubts in their eyes.

Zhou Chen'an's eyes fell on Luo Chengyu's hairpin, "The hairpin is inlaid with black oriental beads, it seems a bit vulgar, and it's not as good-looking as the one I wore when I was a child."

After the words fell, both Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu thought of who this person was.

After all, not long ago, the queen mother mentioned that childhood incident.

Li Chengyun looked at him with dim eyes, "Why did Zhou Shizi leave Huainan King's fiefdom and come to Jinling?"

"The vassal king is not allowed to enter Beijing without summons, but the son of the vassal king is not forbidden to play around."

Zhou Chenan said nonchalantly, then took a piece of fried bell and put it into Luo Chengyu's bowl. "Chengyu, try this fried bell. The cook of Huainan Prince's Mansion can also make it."

Li Chengyun's anger finally could not be suppressed.

Suddenly, the two fought in the restaurant.The guests around were so shocked that they ran away immediately, the shopkeeper and the staff were all trembling, hesitating whether to report to the official.

The entourages on both sides knew each other's identity and looked at them worriedly, not daring to step forward without authorization.

Seeing that Li Chengyun had the upper hand, Luo Chengyu calmly asked the waiter to remove all the dishes and food from the table.

"No more, no more."

Zhou Chen'an conceded defeat, rubbed the wound on his face, and hissed in pain. "There is something wrong with you, you beat people in the face."

"The slap in the face is for your face." Li Chengyun snorted coldly, "You couldn't beat me when you were young, so don't even think about it now."

"A reckless man." Zhou Chen'an was so angry that his teeth itch, "Chengyu, such a violent man, you can rest assured to follow him?"

Li Chengyun rolled up his sleeves to continue beating him.

Luo Chengyu held Li Chengyun's hand, his eyes were firm, and he said to Zhou Chen'an angrily, "Chengyun is very good, if the other party didn't deserve a beating, he wouldn't have made a move at all."

In an instant, Li Chengyun lost all anger, and the hundred-refined steel turned into tender fingers.
