return to peace

"Master National Teacher, it's time to get up."

A reminder from Xiaobing came from outside the door, and when Chu Lingshang opened his eyes, he found that Ji Fan was also awake.Ji Fan leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips, and said softly, "I'll go back first."

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, Ji Fan picked up his coat and turned back to his room through the back window.Chen Lingshang moved, feeling sore all over.After he finished washing, as soon as he went out, he saw Ji Fan who had also finished washing and was also going out.

Ji Fan nodded to him, and said politely, "Morning, teacher."

Resisting the urge to help his waist, Chu Lingshang forced a smile: "Morning."

Along the way, Chu Lingshang walked very slowly. Ji Fan really wanted to help him, but there were outsiders around him, so he could only restrain himself and match his pace.They followed the soldier to the hall and found Chu Huaimin and Chu Zexi eating breakfast.Chu Huaimin was eating steamed buns while Chu Zexi was slowly drinking porridge.As soon as he saw them, Chu Zexi greeted them warmly: "Ling Shang, Ji Fan, come and have breakfast."

Chu Lingshang subconsciously glanced at Ji Fan, seeing that he was not unhappy at all, he was relieved.After all, Chu Zexi had thought of killing him before.

As soon as they sat down, Chu Lingshang frowned. Sitting next to him, Ji Fan naturally knew his every move, and couldn't help but regret that he was too indulgent last night.

"Have some porridge." He pushed a bowl of shredded chicken porridge in front of Chen Lingshang.

"Cough cough." Chu Huaimin picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, coughed twice, and said, "Eat slowly, Zexi, you are full too, let's go to the meeting room first. Come back after you finish eating .”

Chu Zexi looked at the half bowl of porridge left in him in a daze, looked at Chu Huaimin, and immediately understood that although he still felt a little bit hungry, he had learned to let go now: "Well, I'm full , I will go with my father first."

Chu Huaimin and Chu Zexi didn't like being served when they ate, so after they left, only Ji Fan and Chu Lingshang were left in the huge hall.Ji Fan leaned over to gently rub Chu Lingshang's waist, and said casually, "He seems to have changed a lot."

Chu Lingshang stirred the porridge in the bowl, did not look at him, and said silently: "Actually, you and I have changed a lot."

Ji Fan's hands rubbing his waist paused for a moment, but he didn't say anything else.

The two of them rushed to the meeting hall after breakfast, and Wei Xi greeted them as soon as they entered the door: "National Teacher, General Ji."

At that time, Chu Lingshang and Chu Zexi were attacking the city all the way, so Chu Lingshang had a mind and left Wei Xi to Chu Huaimin to help him.It turned out that his decision was very correct.

"Thank you." Chu Lingshang said sincerely.

Wei Xi looked at Ji Fan, he had assassinated him before, but actually felt a little uneasy, Ji Fan didn't realize it, and nodded to him.

Seeing that he didn't make trouble, Wei Xi felt relieved as his eyes were open.

Chu Lingshang discovered that the biggest change in Ji Fan's return this time was that he talked less.I could tell what was going on in his mind just by looking at him before, but now I can't figure it out.

"Don't stick around, come here quickly." Chu Huaimin shouted.

Everyone surrounded them, and Chu Huaimin pointed to the sand table in front of him, on which were displayed the fifteen cities of the Chen Kingdom. "We have captured Qucheng, Liangzhou, and Wancheng so far, and Qingzhou and Yuzhou are next. But Jizhou behind Yuzhou is a problem. Jizhou is mountainous and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"We have the Barbarian Iron Army and Xiliang soldiers, and now we are in a great victory situation. Can we not attack?" Chu Zexi asked.

"Attack is the way to go. It's just that if we attack hard, I'm afraid we will die. Moreover, General Huwei is seriously injured, and the large Xiliang army is under the siege of Chen Guo. If we attack hard, we won't be able to take advantage of it." Chu Lingshang said.

"Now it's time for the dark army to play its role again. Ji Fan, mobilize your people. Since Chen Jingxuan was able to sacrifice the lives of half of the people in vain, we don't need to cover him up." Chu Lingshang Even though he was in Xiliang, he couldn't help feeling chills for the Chen Guo soldiers who sacrificed in vain.

Ji Fan understood what he meant in an instant, and nodded his head: "The top priority is to capture Qingzhou and Yuzhou first, and take five cities in a row. Maybe the people of Chen Guo will panic, so that we can create momentum."

"Yes, first disintegrate from the inside, and then break through from the outside. In fact, Chen Jingxuan's biggest bargaining chip is to catch you in the urn. He put all his eggs in one basket and almost succeeded. It's just that he didn't expect that you, Ji Fan, would rush over with a large army. This After the plan fails, he is doomed to fail, and now it's just a question of how to fight." Chu Huaimin said.

"Then hurry up and deploy, we will leave tomorrow." Chu Zexi said.

Everyone reached a consensus, and they all went to work separately.When going out, Chu Lingshang couldn't help but supported his waist, standing for a long time, it was really sore.This little move happened to be seen by Chu Huaimin, as someone who had been there, he understood immediately, he secretly glanced at his son, saw his expression was a little lonely, so he knew that he also understood.He patted Chu Zexi's shoulder and comforted her silently.

As soon as Chu Lingshang and Ji Fan went out, they ran into a general rushing this way. Looking at the attire and appearance, Chu Lingshang was sure that he had never seen him.The general was born with slender eyebrows and eyes, white and clean, with a baby face, very young, but his figure was burly and powerful, with a strong back and waist, which was incompatible with his face.

"Brother." He cupped his hands towards Ji Fan, and Ji Fan nodded and said, "Have you made arrangements, brothers?"

"Yes. Those who should rest are resting, and the others follow General Lin on duty on the city wall."

Ji Fan patted him on the shoulder and said affirmatively, "Thanks for your hard work." Then he turned around and introduced to Chu Lingshang, "This is my brother Zhuge Baizhen who died in the wilderness. He is the fifth child in his family. You call him Xiao Five will do."

When Ji Fan was speaking, this white and clean man stole glances at Chu Lingshang several times. Before Chu Lingshang could speak, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and let out a long "oh", yes Seeing Ji Fan winking: "Is this sister-in-law?"

Chu Lingshang was stunned by the shocking words, Ji Fan slapped him: "What nonsense, this is the Xiliang Imperial Teacher, please don't be disrespectful."

Zhuge Baizhen rubbed his head and said: "Okay. I have seen the national teacher."

Chu Lingshang forced himself to slow down, and said with a stiff smile, "Since you are Ji Fan's dead brother, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Big Brother Chu."

Zhuge Baizhen immediately grinned and opened his teeth, responding cheerfully: "Brother Chu."

"Yeah. I still have something to do. Let's go first. You guys talk." Chen Lingshang smiled.

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Chu."

Zhuge Baizhen saw that Chu Lingshang was gone, he smiled and said, "It's sister-in-law."

Ji Fan slapped him again and left on his own.Zhuge Baizhen was left alone rubbing his head behind his back, "It's so ruthless." He muttered dissatisfiedly.

"General Zhuge." When a soldier came to report, he turned around and immediately changed his expression. There was no innocence and smile before, and his temperament became cold and mature.

Later, Chu Lingshang asked Ji Fan why the wild army was so invincible?Ji Fan just said indifferently: "People who have already died once, what are they afraid of?"

Every wild soldier crawled out of hell, and so did Zhuge Baizhen, who looked innocent and innocent.

As night fell, Chen Lingshang rubbed his sore waist, planning to stand up and take a rest.Suddenly a person jumped out of the window, and Chu Lingshang searched for his reputation, and it was Ji Fan.

"After so many years, why do you still like to jump out of windows?"

Although Ji Fan doesn't show his emotions too much now, he still treats him a lot softer. He smiled slightly, and didn't comment on the matter, and said directly: "Let's go, follow me to see someone."

"Who?"

"The person you asked about two days ago."

"Lin Feng."

"Correct."

Without hesitation, Chu Lingshang followed Ji Fan.When they came to the wall of Wancheng, they saw a general talking to the soldiers below with his back turned to them.Chu Lingshang looked at Ji Fan, who remained silent and did not step forward.He understood what Ji Fan meant, Ji Fan wanted to give them a chance to be alone.

He walked forward slowly, the general seemed to sense something and turned around.When Chu Lingshang saw him for the first time, his heart sank suddenly.

He still looks like the young guard from before, with a handsome face and a little indifferent, except that there is a black blindfold over his right eye.Lin Feng seemed a little surprised, but he has always been indifferent to emotions, so he quickly adjusted, stepped forward and saluted: "My lord."

Chu Lingshang stared at him for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Your eyes?"

"Young Master, don't worry, Lin Feng is fine." He remained calm as usual.

"Get up." He held Lin Feng's hand and pulled him up himself.After Lin Feng got up, he pretended to withdraw his hand unintentionally.

Chen Lingshang sighed, and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Take care of yourself."

"Yes. Young master, Lin Feng still has something to do, so he will leave first." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Chu Lingshang didn't call him, but just looked at his thin back, feeling a little blocked.He felt that he had harmed Lin Feng, if he hadn't tacitly allowed him to go with Ji Fan, he would still be fine now.Now that master and servant meet, he actually refuses to say a word to him.

The wind on the city wall was so strong that the cloak behind Chu Lingshang rattled. He stood on the city wall for a long time before coming down.Ji Fan was waiting for him below.

On the way back, both of them were silent. Finally, Chu Lingshang couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong with Lin Feng's eyes?"

Ji Fan was silent for a while, lowered his eyelashes and said: "I didn't realize that they had already formed a faction until I arrived in the Wilderness. Fortunately, they are martial arts, and whoever is good at martial arts can be the boss, but sometimes it's not just martial arts. That's fine. Before I went, the leaders of several factions had similar martial arts and could still maintain a balance. As soon as I went, I became a thorn in the side and was strangled by the leaders of several factions. Lin Feng was stabbed with a sword by others in order to save me. Blind." Ji Fan said in a flat voice, but Chu Lingshang could imagine how dangerous it was.

The two never spoke again.Under the cover of the night, for the first time, Chen Lingshang took the initiative to hold Ji Fan's with his hands hidden under his wide sleeves, and clasped his fingers tightly.

Qian Fan died, he really thanked God, fortunately, they all came back alive.
