Chu Xiang's fever completely subsided the next day, and when he opened his eyes, he felt a little groggy.The cool sunshine was shining through the window, it rained heavily last night, and the temperature in the morning was very low. Fortunately, his neck didn't hurt very much, so he huddled under the quilt and refused to get up—fortunately, there were no morning training and no routine patrols in ancient times.

Last night, I seemed to have...a long, long dream. In the dream, there was his starry sky, his companion, his central control AI who often argued with him...what else?I don't quite remember, Chu Xiang rubbed her swollen forehead and decided not to think about it.

Just as soon as he moved, there was a sound at the door. Chu Hexing took a peeping look, then he yelled, and after a while, he quickly brought a basin of water.

"Brother, I've finished washing my face!"

"Little Xing..." Chu Xiang said, her voice hoarse, "Why did you get up so early?"

Chu Hexing said: "Oh, hurry up and wash your face, and then I made breakfast for my brother, and the porridge I cooked is delicious. Just now, the Lord Lan drank a bowl. If he hadn't helped my brother feed medicine last night, I wouldn't have Don't give him a drink!"

"Wait..." Chu Xiang held his forehead again, and Lan Jue gave him medicine?Lan Jue is an ancient country lord, is it so easy to gain favorability? bug it!Well, it's actually quite reasonable, after all, Lan Jue grew up in exile, not in a noble mansion with strict etiquette. He might have hugged and rolled with little beggars when he was a child.

But, Chu Xiang thought with a headache, I don't have a fever and talk nonsense, right?If the mouth is full of 28th century combat terms, will it be regarded as a mental illness, or more likely, as a ghost, tied a rope and thrown into the river to see if it can float or something.

Turning her head to look at the clothes on Chu Hexing's body, Chu Xiang said in shock, "Don't you just stay up all night!"

Chu Hexing shook his head: "I slept outside the door several times."

"How can you sleep outside my door!"

Chu Hexing blinked, and said as a matter of course: "Brother, you are sick, of course I need to take care of you!"

"you……"

Chu Xiang shook her head, and couldn't help pinching her face: "No, I'm several times your age, so I don't need you as a child to take care of me."

Adding up the two lifetimes, Chu Xiang laughed at himself as an "old man", but it was true. Even if the human life expectancy was greatly extended in the 28th century, he had already been flying in the starry sky for more than [-] years.

"Brother, if you don't let me do anything, then I won't raise a piglet!" Chu Hexing pouted, "Even if you don't want me to be your housekeeper, then I can take care of your daily life!"

"No." Chu Xiang was extremely serious. Although the problem of reversing the thinking of feudal girls needs to be done step by step, it is absolutely impossible for him to compromise and treat the child as a maid first. "If you want to do something, why don't I teach you how to read?" Read books, learn arithmetic and astronomy."

"Huh?" Chu Hexing said suspiciously, "But girls shouldn't learn that, and no one will want it in the future."

"Nonsense." Chu Xiang nodded her forehead. Whoever dares to say this in front of the special forces captain Shao Yun will definitely experience the pleasure of being cut into pieces. Chu Xiang couldn't help but think of her comrades. Showing a warm smile, Chu Hexing was stunned.

After thinking for a while, Chu Xiang said relatively gently: "Xiaoxing, no one can choose their origin, but we can choose what to be, instead of becoming a template required by others. Where I come, everyone has peace and happiness. The opportunity to grow up, everyone can choose what kind of person they want to be when they grow up, you can choose the garden, you can also choose the starry sky, girls can also go to the battlefield, I know, now here we are, many People tell you you can't do this, you can't do that...but that's not right, and I don't want this world to be like this forever, and it certainly won't be like this forever."

Looking at the little girl's ignorant expression, he intentionally misled: "Otherwise, what am I here for?"

Chu Hexing was stunned, it was the first time she heard such shocking words, but the girl immediately had her own understanding: "Really, brother, are you serious? Um... yes, if you go down to earth once, if you don't change something, How can you be a star king! Yes, there are star kings in the sky and female star kings, right!"

... This feudal superstition can still be used, Chu Xiang thought, Chief Shao Yun would not mind this name, she loves the second child to death.

So Chu Xiang nodded: "Of course."

"Wow!" Chu Hexing became excited.

"So do you believe in brother?" He asked with a smile.

"I believe!" Chu Hexing jumped up, "Brother is right, I can help my brother when I learn to read and write, right? Then, we can teach more children to read and write, and writing poems will not be difficult. It's a nobleman's thing again, isn't it?"

At this time, another voice outside the door said: "You must learn to read and write. If you want to learn horseback riding and archery, I can also arrange for someone to teach you."

Lan Jue strode into the door, Chu Hexing jumped up in shock, her small face was very tangled, she now knew that this was the monarch followed by her brother, with a high status, she should kneel down, but she was always a bit contemptuous of the nobles Standing with her mouth pouted, Lan Jue rubbed her hair vigorously, causing the little girl to blush instantly.

Chu Xiang hurriedly got up, but Lan Jue pushed him back.

The image of the man's blushing cheeks and hazy eyes flashed by, so he said a little coldly: "You lie down, don't die before you start a fight with me."

...Your Majesty, can we say something auspicious?

Chu Xiang smiled wryly: "Yes, thank you for your concern." He carefully looked at Lan Jue, but did not notice anything unusual on his face.

It's just that this little action didn't escape Lan Jue's eyes. The confused person probably doesn't remember what he did last night, but he just doesn't feel relieved...Looking at the young man who has regained his dignity and elegance, Lan Jue thought of that inexplicably. He said "beauty" in a gentle tone, it was... frivolous like a prodigal, but it was almost impossible to refuse him.

Chu Hexing said at this time: "I will supervise my brother to take medicine on time!"

Lan Jue laughed. When he laughed, there was a small dimple on the left corner of his mouth, which seemed a little cute, and it didn't fit the majestic status of the lord of a country, so Chu Hexing's sense of him was instantly reversed.

He said to the little girl: "You are too thin now, practicing martial arts can strengthen your physique."

Perhaps it was because Lan Jue's attitude was too friendly, Chu Hexing no longer had any grievances about his aristocratic status, but his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then my brother can also practice?"

Lan Jue gave Chu Xiang a sideways look: "Too old."

Moreover, when he is drunk, his hands and feet are sore and his whole body is weak. His subordinates can smash the wall down when they drink too much. When this person comes, they can only hug the quilt

Chu Xiang: "...Your Majesty is right... But, Your Majesty doesn't seem to mind women practicing martial arts?"

Lan Jue said: "Why not, ten years ago, when I was fourteen, my father hoped to see a successor before he died, so I chose a princess from the people close to me. She used to be my vanguard. Live and die with me, willing to do me this favor."

Perhaps because of the environment in which she grew up, Chu Xiang is 100% sure that in this era, there will be no second Lan Jue who has no sense of identity. There is no one who can call for help when she gets married——

Chu Xiang became interested in an instant. He remembered that Lan Jue, the lord of the Western Tang Dynasty, had a marriage once, and it was well known, because his princess was a widow with a child, who was 12 years older than him. Only ten years younger than Lan Jue.

In today's world, marrying a widow, and I heard that the widow came from a humble background, and her family is a servant who trains horses for the army. Choosing such a princess, Lan Jue is tantamount to "not understanding etiquette and music", this "barbarian" The hat is solid.However, that incident happened a long time ago, and the Lan family was still in exile. Even if they wanted to marry the daughter of a nobleman, they couldn't do it.

"I feel sorry for the late concubine." Chu Xiang said, "That is a heroine, I wish you condolences."

Lan Jue nodded, and was about to say something when Yang Feng came outside the door suddenly.

"Master, news from home."

Lan Jue frowned and took the letter.

"It's a letter from the young master."

After opening the envelope, Lan Jue's expression was as cold as frost.

Yang Feng's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost in horror.

—There was a bloody handprint on the letter.

It was a boy's handprint. Judging from the handwriting, although it is not particularly beautiful, it is not scribbled, so Chu Xiang thinks that this bloody handprint is just to express urgency, not that his life was threatened when he wrote the letter. , Lan Jue didn't seem so calm.

He read ten lines at a glance and quickly read the letter.

"Very good." Lan Jue sneered, "Uncle Wang teamed up with General Zuo to imprison Lan Nian in the palace and try to intercept me when I return?"

Yang Feng exclaimed: "The young master is not dangerous!"

Lan Jue said: "Fortunately, those old bastards have never really regarded Xiao Nian as my descendant, and they will not intentionally endanger his life."

"Your Majesty." Chu Xiang said suddenly, "Your Majesty once said that there was a disaster year in China, and with all due respect, the geographical environment of the Western Tang Dynasty was not very good, and the treasury was not abundant. It can be said that the ruler of the feudal country, Being disturbed by all kinds of complicated things, life is not as good as the rich people in the capital."

Yang Feng said angrily, "How dare you—"

Lan Jue raised her hand to stop him, nodded: "You are right."

"Your Majesty was unaware and unprepared before the journey?"

"As you said, Xi Tang actually has no money or power at all, so I really never thought that Uncle Wang would have the desire to seize power, and I didn't have much preparation."

"Then what does your majesty think, why does he suddenly have the idea of ​​seizing power?"

Lan Jue frowned and looked at Chu Xiang.

So Chu Xiang said: "The Lord of the Eastern Tang Dynasty is old now, and he did not come to this spring banquet. It has been his wish to become the Lord of the Tang Dynasty completely. Isn't it a good time now?"

Lan Jue: "Do you think Dong Tang promised them benefits?"

Chu Xiang: "The Western Tang Dynasty is poor. If you hold it in your hand, being a hard-working king is far better than taking a lot of money and being at ease."

"So you think that Dong Tang promised a lot of money to Uncle Wang for his help?"

"It's also possible to take advantage of it." Chu Xiang said, "Since the Western Tang Dynasty itself has no real benefits, it is impossible for a left general, an uncle Wang who enjoys the blessings, to plan this matter."

Except for those who have special obsessions, or...a monarch like Lan Jue who is concerned about the country and the people, no one who is greedy for wealth and honor will want Xitang.

Yang Feng said: "Master, shall we go back to rescue the young master immediately?"

"..." Chu Xiang couldn't help but want to curse, but fortunately, he held back, and tried to make a calm gesture, and said, "How many people do you have? You only remember that the young master is dangerous, and the people this crisis is targeting It's not the young master. Your young master tried every means to send a handwritten letter, reminding you that there might be an ambush on the road, and you are going to head straight back to die?"

Chu Xiang silently rolled her eyes in her heart, civil servant!Can't civilians do logistics honestly!

"You know how many soldiers and horses Western Tang has available," he said.

"But I'm not here, and it's impossible for Uncle Wang to mobilize the army."

"You don't need an army." Chu Xiang replied, "How many people are there around you?"

Lan Jue replied calmly: "Only Yang Feng is on the sidelines, and there are ten secret guards accompanying him."

"Even if you are highly skilled, if you are ambushed, a hundred ordinary soldiers are enough to deal with you?" Chu Xiang said, "So you must not go back to Xitang now. You are in the open, and we don't know the details of the ambush." Where, I don’t even know the specific method, besides, how do you know, they won’t take action in the capital.”

Lan Jue said: "Then, how do you think we can solve it?"

"Let's solve the source. Your Majesty, the Tang Kingdom has been divided for too long, and it's time to take it back."

The author has something to say: Lan Jue: I've already been teased!

Chu Xiang: When?What did I do? ? ?

Chu Hexing: Activate the debuff from brother controlling sister! ! !
