The official guard of the imperial army.

"General, young master Weisheng has arrived at the residence."

"En." Zhong Liyuan put down his pen and asked again: "Have you finished counting the number of forbidden soldiers?"

Meng Wei said: "It's been counted, and 43 people have been removed."

He glanced out the window, approached Zhong Liyuan again, and said in a low voice, "They are all members of the Jinwu Guard."

"There are no useful people in the Jinwu Guard." Zhong Liyuan's brows were cold, and he only smiled mockingly when he heard the words, "They are all stuffed with wine bags and rice bags."

It was already dark when Zhong Liyuan returned to the mansion, Meng Wei carefully carried him off the carriage in front of the general's mansion, and pushed him in with a wheelchair.

Before passing by the gate of the mansion, Zhong Liyuan seemed to take a second look at the guards on both sides, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "How long has it been since you, Young Master Weisheng?"

Meng Wei was startled, and immediately replied: "It's been half an hour."

Zhong Liyuan nodded: "Don't forget to arrange a place for the young master, and the food and clothing costs must be in accordance with the costs of the Duke Huguo."

Meng Wei bowed his head in response: "Yes."

These few words were quickly recorded and presented on the emperor's case.

After reading these few lines, the emperor smiled with ambiguous meaning: "Zhong Liyuan is really kind to the little prince who treats Duke Hu."

After playing for a day in the daytime, Zhang Ning hastily packed up the carriage and came to the General's Mansion. He was already exhausted and fell asleep while sitting on a chair in the flower hall.

Suddenly a voice said: "Sleepy?"

Zhang Ning woke up suddenly, and quickly stood up: "General Zhongli."

Pushing the wheelchair, Meng Wei sent Zhong Liyuan into the hall and then retreated, leaving Zhang Ning and Zhong Liyuan behind.

"I'm late," Zhong Liyuan said, "Why didn't my servant take you to rest?"

Zhang Ning quickly replied: "I thought the general would come back soon, so I just waited here for a while."

"Well," Zhong Liyuan's face was illuminated by the dim candlelight, and he seemed to soften a lot. He said softly, "It's too late today, go to rest first, and talk about other things tomorrow."

Zhong Liyuan said that he would take him to the guest room, but he didn't move. Zhang Ning blinked, and then he came to his senses. He walked to Zhong Liyuan's back, held the handle of the wooden wheelchair and pushed him out of the flower hall.

Zhang Ning pushed Zhong Liyuan all the way to the backyard of the mansion, and found that there were almost no steps in the entire General's Mansion, and they were all built with a smooth and gentle slope. Zhang Ning pushed him into the bedroom effortlessly, but suddenly felt a little sad .

Zhong Liyuan is tall, his back is straight even when he is sitting in a wheelchair.While pushing him away, Zhang Ning secretly looked at his hair, and said to the system, "What a pity."

He was talking about Zhong Liyuan's legs.General Xuan Yuan, who made great military exploits, suddenly lost his legs and could only spend his days in a wheelchair. No matter who he was, this kind of gap would be unacceptable.

The system said: "No way, maybe it's the character setting."

The rest of the work should have been taken over by the servants. When Zhang Ning was about to leave, a maid came in and lowered her head and said, "General, Imperial Physician Li is here."

Zhong Liyuan looked calm and said, "Let him in."

The maid immediately turned and went out, Zhong Liyuan suddenly said: "Help me to the bed."

Only Zhang Ning was left in the room, so he was the only one left.

"This is not very good," Zhang Ning said to the system, "I just came to his house today, and I want to..."

System: "Take back the thoughts you shouldn't have."

Zhang Ning pushed Zhong Liyuan to the side of the bed, then bent down and reached out to hold Zhong Liyuan's armpit.

"..."

Zhang Ning: Embarrassed, I can't hold it.

This was a very intimate gesture, Zhang Ning could smell the faint and slightly bitter herbal smell on Zhong Liyuan's clothes.He couldn't see Zhong Liyuan's expression, but he felt the other person's chest tremble slightly, as if he had smiled, and then Zhong Liyuan hugged his shoulders.

Zhong Liyuan put his hand on Zhang Ning's shoulder, Zhang Ning couldn't help shaking, but soon, Zhong Liyuan put his other hand on the bed, got out of the wheelchair with all his strength, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Doctor Li happened to witness all this when he entered the door, he put down the medicine box, lowered his head and said: "I have seen the general."

Zhong Liyuan responded, then leaned on the cushion and spread out his hands, asking Doctor Li to feel his pulse.

This is obviously a relaxed gesture, but Zhong Liyuan has been in the army for many years, and when he looks down at people like this, he always has a look of contempt. Zhang Ning is so heartbroken that he doesn't feel much when standing aside, while the doctor Li who is taking the pulse is about to break out in a cold sweat.

"The general, the general is weak, probably the sequelae of the previous serious injury." Li Taiyi finished speaking in a stumbling manner, then looked up at Zhong Liyuan cautiously: "May I take a look at the general's leg injury?"

Zhong Liyuan said: "Of course."

Doctor Li breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to reach out to touch Zhong Liyuan's legs, when he heard General Zhong Li say sinisterly: "Your Majesty takes pity on my disabled legs, and I asked the imperial doctor to come and see them, how can I not dare?"

Doctor Li shook his hands, and immediately changed hands to get the gold needles for acupuncture.

"Young Master Wei, Weisheng," Imperial Physician Li looked at Zhang Ning expectantly, "Please help me."

"Help the general take off his clothes."

Zhang Ning walked over while shouting "This is really not good".

But in the end, he was ungrateful or not, he just stretched out his hand and rolled up Zhong Liyuan's trouser legs.

Zhong Liyuan looked at his weak legs, his expression was still indifferent and cold.His legs were not born with leg problems, and he didn't look deformed, but because of his emaciation, the leg bones were obvious.

On the contrary, Zhang Ning couldn't help but gasp when he saw Zhong Liyuan's knee.

I heard that General Zhongli was thrown off by a horse, and his knee was seriously injured. Although his skin and flesh have healed now, the hideous scars are still terrifying.

Doctor Li carefully pricked golden needles on his legs, Zhang Ning felt pain even looking at it: "This is a comminuted fracture, can it be healed only by acupuncture?"

The system said: "Don't underestimate the knowledge and power of the ancients."

"The injury on the general's muscles and bones healed quickly, but this knee..." Imperial Physician Li said tactfully: "I will discuss with the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, and then prescribe a prescription for the general, hoping to help the general recover a little bit."

Zhong Liyuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li."

The acupuncture took a long time, before the needle was pulled out, Zhang Ning was lying on the bedside and was already very sleepy.

After Zhong Liyuan sent someone to send the imperial physician away, Zhang Ning vaguely heard him ask the servants: "Is the guest room tidy?"

In a daze, it seemed that someone carried him to the bed. Zhang Ning smelled the slightly bitter smell of herbs, rubbed the pillow, found a comfortable position and fell asleep again.

The candle was blown out, and someone who covered him with a quilt sighed softly, "Why is it still like this..."

"The battle of Honglu, why did Pei Jing lose?"

Zhang Ning: "..."

Zhang Ning was woken up by the maid in the morning, half a quarter of an hour earlier than the time when Duke Hu Guo woke up.

After he opened his eyes, he realized that he was in the General's Mansion. The maid said in a soft voice: "Young Master, get up quickly, the General is waiting for you to eat."

Zhang Ning happily got up and washed, and when he went out, he found that his room was next to Zhong Liyuan's bedroom, and he was even happier.

But his good mood was immediately ruined at the dinner table.

When Zhang Ning arrived, Zhong Liyuan was sitting in a wheelchair, reading a book, and on the table were the breakfasts that Duke Huguo often ate.

Zhang Ning said to the system: "Look, this is called being at home."

But unexpectedly, Zhong Liyuan's first sentence was to test his military skills.

Zhang Ning can't wait to go back to the government immediately: "He really wants to teach me how to study!"

The system sneered: "What do you think they want to do?"

Seeing that he couldn't answer for a long time, Zhong Liyuan frowned and said, "You can't answer such a simple question?"

Zhang Ning bowed his head and did not speak.

System: "Heh, I can't read all the traditional Chinese characters. How dare you expect him to memorize them."

Zhong Liyuan asked again: "How much of the book I gave you have you read?"

The system said: "It is falling ashes at the Duke Protector's Mansion."

Zhang Ning: "..." I don't even remember which cabinet to put it in.

"Forget it," Zhong Liyuan sighed, and picked up the chopsticks: "Let's eat first."

He put a piece of pastry in Zhang Ning's plate, and said slowly: "Your brother said that you like sweets, so you can tell the cook what you want to eat on weekdays."

Zhang Ning didn't dare to raise his head, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "General Xie."

"General." Halfway through eating, Meng Wei came over suddenly, and said something to Zhong Liyuan with Fu Er.

"I see." Zhong Liyuan said, he took the handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands, and said to Zhang Ning, "You eat first."

Zhang Ning nodded while biting the pastry filled with red bean paste.

"By the way," Zhong Liyuan remembered something again, and said, "After reading "Honglu Shiji" today, I will test you again tonight."

Zhang Ning: "..."

"What's the news from the emperor?"

Meng Wei pushed Zhong Liyuan into the official office, and said in a low voice: "A few ministers mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince again, and the emperor asked them who can take on this important task."

Zhong Liyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Which prince are they looking at?"

"Eldest prince." Meng Wei said, "but then the emperor found out the crimes and dismissed them and put them in prison."

Zhong Liyuan sneered, and heard Meng Wei say: "The Lord Protector was also there at that time."

Zhong Liyuan clenched the armrest of the wheelchair, and said, "What did the Lord Protector say?"

"I didn't say anything," Meng Wei shook his head, "At that time, the emperor got angry and left with his sleeves shaken."

Zhong Liyuan said: "Duke Protector is a sensible person."

After Zhong Liyuan returned to Beijing, the emperor didn't intend to let him idle, and asked him to command Feilongwei and other forbidden troops.Zhong Liyuan has been in the army for many years, and he is naturally handy in managing it. He also proposed a new system, breaking up the Jinwu Guard and Feilong Guard and reorganizing them, each performing its own duties.

But the last time he overstepped his post and got involved in the affairs of the military camp, he led the Gale Wind Camp back to his command, the Holy Majesty's expression changed a few times, and finally he praised him: "With Aiqing here, I am safe and secure."

Zhong Liyuan thought up to this point, and showed a smile that was not a smile.

Meng Wei let go of the wheelchair silently after seeing him, leaving Zhong Liyuan alone in the punishment room.

Soon, he heard the sound inside, as if someone was crying.

When the sound gradually subsided, Meng Wei lowered his head and opened the door, just in time to see some blood stained on the corner of Zhong Liyuan's clothes.

Zhong Liyuan could not hide the smell of blood, he said coldly: "Watch out, don't let him die."
