Great General [Rebirth]

Chapter 68 Light and Shadow

The maid's name is Ruan Yan, with apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, snow skin and red lips, she is a beautiful woman, what's more rare is that she has the gentle temperament unique to mature women.Zhao Yongzhou likes and respects such a woman from the bottom of his heart, when Ruan Yan is serving him, he is also very obedient, she does what she says.After getting dressed, Ruan Yan led him out of the mansion. The mansion is very elegantly furnished, not a luxurious mansion.A dark purple sedan chair was parked in front of the door, and four powerful men stood beside it.Not like bearers, but more like Habayashi guard.

Zhao Yongzhou looked back and saw the words 'Quiet Night Pavilion' written on the plaque, and looked at the deserted surroundings, it was clearly a suburban courtyard.He frowned, feeling a little displeased.

Ruan Yan stood in front of the sedan chair and lifted the curtain: "Little General, please."

Zhao Yongzhou sat in the sedan chair, lowered the curtain, shook it, and set off.Opening the curtain, Ruan Yan was walking on the side of the sedan chair.Although Zhao Yongzhou was sitting in the sedan chair, he clearly felt that the speed of the bearer was very fast.Ruan Yan was able to walk with ease, seeing him lift the curtain, she lowered her head and smiled:

"If the little general is tired, just take a nap for a while, and I will call you when we arrive."

Zhao Yongzhou put down the curtain, leaned on the cushion and frowned.He counted the time in his mind, about a quarter of an hour later, he could hear some noise outside, he should have arrived at the market, but the distance was at least ten miles.About half an hour later, the noisy sounds faded away, and gradually it was the sound of soldiers walking by in neat steps. This must be the sound of approaching the palace.

He remembered that Ruan Yan said that he was going to the Prince Chen's Mansion, and the 'adult' who arranged him in another courtyard in the wilderness was also there.After walking for a while, the sedan chair stopped steadily, and the curtain was lifted, "Little general, we are here."

When Zhao Yongzhou got out of the sedan chair, he saw the four porters carrying the sedan chair, turned around and left quickly.

Chenwang Mansion is magnificent, with two big stone lions in front of the gate, and imperial guards standing on both sides.Ruan Yan stepped forward, handed over a sign, and pointed to Zhao Yongzhou.After the guard saw it, he immediately bowed to Zhao Yongzhou.

"It turned out to be General Bai. My subordinate Chen Nan has met General Bai."

This guard's official rank is above the fifth rank, so it is strange to give such a big gift to a person who has just returned from the battlefield and has not yet been appointed as an official.Feeling puzzled, Zhao Yongzhou nodded and returned the salute.

"General Bai, please." Chen Nan smiled and led Zhao Yongzhou into the palace, Ruan Yan followed not far behind.This Prince Chen's mansion is magnificent, Zhao Yongzhou secretly looked at it, while thinking in his heart that Prince Chen* is the second prince.

When they came to a courtyard, Zhao Yongzhou and Ruan Yan stood outside, Chen Nan notified him and let him in.Zhao Yongzhou tidied up his appearance and walked in.

There was a stone table in the yard, two men were playing chess, the commander of the forbidden army Bai Xianjie stood not far away, when he saw Zhao Yongzhou, he looked him up and down, his eyes could be said to be domineering and unscrupulous.

Zhao Yongzhou stepped forward, lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, and said to someone: "Little man Bai Wu, I have seen His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

Those two are playing chess, how can they care about others.Zhao Yongzhou kept kneeling, Rong You didn't make a sound, so naturally he didn't dare to get up.

After half a cup of tea, Rong You dropped a chess piece and looked at the person opposite: "Lianhua, you lost."

Feng Buran's expression was somewhat frustrated, but then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is superb at chess, and this humble minister feels ashamed."

"I'm afraid you're mentally unstable." Rong You smiled, and then he saw the young man kneeling in front of his eyes, and stood up to help him up: "Get up. You kneel here, your master can't even play chess." Not serious."

"It's the villain who disturbed His Highness's pleasure." Zhao Yongzhou said.

Rong You patted him on the shoulder in an easy-going manner, and said with a smile: "Not bad. I spent a lot of time in the military camp these years. It seems that Lianhua has trained you well."

After hearing this, Feng Buran was fine, Zhao Yongzhou's ears were a little red.Rong You asked some more innocuous things, and Zhao Yongzhou answered them one by one.After a while, the palace servants came to deliver lunch, and Rong You asked the two of them to eat together.

"Commander Bai is here too." Rong You said to Bai Xianjie and Zhao Yongzhou, "You are uncles and nephews, you need to help each other in the future."

Zhao Yongzhou vaguely understood in his heart that Rong You was trying to win him over, but he didn't feel that he was so valuable, and the only thing Rong You looked up to was probably the title of 'General White Tiger'.Bai Xianjie is the commander of the Forbidden Army, and Feng Buran holds a heavy army, these two will be of substantial help to Rong You's career as crown prince.

During this period, Feng Buran never spoke to Zhao Yongzhou.After noon, the two of them finally got free when they came out of the Prince Chen's Mansion.Zhao Yongzhou frowned, looking unhappy.Feng Buran said, "Let's go back first."

Ruan Yan was very surprised: "Aren't you going to the East Palace?"

Feng Buran waved his hands, "I'm not busy today. General Bai is just recovering from a serious illness, so he can't bear it."

Zhao Yongzhou hadn't reached that point yet, so he immediately straightened his face and said, "I'm not so fragile. The important thing is to see the prince, let's go."

"I think it's the same. The little general slept for three days, he was in high spirits, and he wasn't weak at all." Ruan smiled and said.

Feng Buran insisted, "I'll go back in a few days. Go home."

He beckoned, and the two soft sedan chairs parked outside the Prince Chen's Mansion came over.While peeking at Feng Buran's face, Ruan Yan joked next to Zhao Yongzhou: "My lord really loves the little general."

Zhao Yongzhou felt that something was wrong, Feng Buran's appearance seemed to be covering up something.Why don't you go to the East Palace?Afraid to see the prince?Not quite.Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhao Yongzhou was thinking wildly, and for a while he was troubled by what Rong You said just now during the banquet.Although he has Bai Xianjie as his 'uncle' and the huge power and status of the Bai family in Lingnan as the backing, Zhao Yongzhou is still not very happy about this sudden relationship.He was naturally ready to get involved in the dispute over the imperial power, but Rong You's arrangement seemed to deliberately keep 'Bai Wu' away from Feng Buran.

Thinking like this, the sedan chair fell to the ground.Zhao Yongzhou walked out and saw that it was still the same Jingyeju that he left in the morning, and his face collapsed all of a sudden.Feng Buran walked two steps and saw that he didn't follow, so he turned around and saw Zhao Yongzhou's sullen expression, so he understood.

"There are many people in the mansion, but this place is clean. The Holy Majesty has given you a house in the suburbs of Beijing. I have already had someone clean it. You can live in it after a few days when everything is ready." Feng Buran explained.

It stands to reason that, as a superior, Feng Buran has fully expressed his love for him as a subordinate, so he should feel extremely honored.But how should I put it, when Zhao Yongzhou was in the Heguan in the past, some guests would pick him up to live in the mansion.However, the actor and young lady were never allowed to enter the mansion, and lived in this kind of remote and secluded courtyard.It's not that Zhao Yongzhou doesn't like the residence Feng Buran arranged for him, it's just that the "other courtyard" has a certain hint in Zhao Yongzhou's eyes.

But Feng Buran was really thinking of him, and Ruan Yan came up to persuade him again: "The little general has just returned to Beijing, and there are many people staring at him. For your safety, your lord has specially selected me to serve you. Look, these few days This Habayashi guard was specially found for you by the adults."

Zhao Yongzhou was in a better mood, walked up to Feng Buran, and smiled: "Thank you Marshal."

Feng Buran nodded, and the two entered the mansion gate.

It was late autumn, and the yard was full of fallen leaves and stamens.Zhao Yongzhou woke up from his lunch break, but there was no sign of Feng Buran. When he asked Ruan Yan, she played sloppy eyes and coaxed him that Feng Buran was out on business.But Zhao Yongzhou had an intuition in his heart that Feng Buran had gone to the East Palace.

That little prince was also a student of Feng Buran, a student he valued very much.

From a distance, Ruan Yan saw a person standing under the banyan tree in the courtyard. He was still wearing a white soft robe, barefoot, with hair hanging around, as if he had just gotten out of bed.She went back to the room and took a black fur and a pair of gold thread cloth shoes, and walked over with lotus steps stepping on the ground.When he got very close, the young man didn't respond, he lowered his head slightly and looked at the flying catkins falling in mid-air.

"Little General?" Ruan Yan called softly.

Zhao Yongzhou raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed.Ruan Yan smiled slightly, put the clothes on him, and bent down to help him put on his shoes.Zhao Yongzhou took two steps back, "I'll do it myself."

Take the shoes and put them on quickly.When she straightened up, Ruan Yan looked at him and smiled strangely.

"What was the little general thinking just now?"

"..." Zhao Yongzhou pursed his lips, "No."

"Are you thinking about your lord?" Ruan Yan approached mysteriously, "He will come over at night."

Zhao Yongzhou suddenly felt a little hot in his ears, he moved away from her slightly, and frowned: "I want to go for a walk."

"No." Ruan Yan said. "My lord has told you that the little general needs to take good care of his body and not run around. He also said that if you run out, you will come back with injuries all over your body."

As she spoke, she pushed him into the house, Zhao Yongzhou resisted a little, so she let him go, "Anyway, the yard is quite big, if you're bored, just walk around."

After speaking, he turned and left.Zhao Yongzhou looked at her for a while, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.Sitting in the yard, he could feel Ruan Yan's surveillance-like gaze from time to time.A few times he would walk out of the courtyard, toward the front door, and she would appear.She coaxed him back with a smile.Zhao Yongzhou didn't insist either, but felt a little uncomfortable.

Before it was dark, Ruan Yan came and forced him to eat. After sitting in the yard for a while, he felt drowsy.With her eyes half open and half awake, she saw Ruan Yan holding a lantern and leading in a man dressed in dark purple from the outside.

"Why are you sitting here?" Zhao Yongzhou asked after hearing Feng Buran's voice.

"My lord, the little general has been waiting for you." Ruan Yan whispered.

They all thought he was completely asleep.Feng Buran asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No. It's just that he always wanted to go out during the day..." Ruan Yan hesitated to speak, his attitude seemed a bit intolerable.

Zhao Yongzhou heard Feng Buran sigh, and suddenly he was picked up and walked towards the house.He opened his eyes slightly, Ruan Yan was standing in the distance with a lantern and did not follow, he shifted his gaze to the face of the man who was hugging him, in the hazy yellow light, Feng Buran was holding the light behind his back, his expression flickering indefinite.

Then he closed his eyes again, and quietly leaned his head against the sealed Buran chest.
