"General, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is about to leave the border of Yizhou, why don't you go see him off?"

Since Chu Yu left the General's Mansion, the former happy atmosphere of the General's Mansion has become quieter. On the surface, everyone is doing their own thing, but in fact, it has changed subtly.

At this time, Hou Jing, who had been secretly watching Chu Yu's movements in the dark since Chu Yu left the General's Mansion, asked cautiously.

"No, the customs clearance document has already been prepared for him, so we don't need to worry about it."

Yue Qiuyun's voice was very cold.

"But" the monkey became impatient and wanted to say something else.

Yue Qiuyun raised a hand, indicating that there is no need to say any more.

He was holding a battle report from the frontier in his hand, and he was frowning at this moment, showing that he didn't care about Chu Yu's departure at all, and looked careless.

Hou Jing didn't believe that their general was really unmoved, but he always had this look of wanting nothing, as if he was used to not fighting or grabbing.

At the beginning when Yue Qiuyun sent troops to the expedition, the barbarians took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the city by cheating, burning, killing, looting, and raping women. When Yue Qiuyun came back, there was only a mess left.

The child cries with its mother in its arms, the young daughter falls in the arms of the tearful father, and the woman holds the baby who will never wake up again.

Seeing this scene, the young Yue Qiuyun was furious and rushed into the enemy camp alone. When the guards arrived behind him, he came out of the enemy camp covered in blood, with a lingering look on his face, dragging his sword. haze.

Since then, Yue Qiuyun has been infamous for massacring the city, but he never explained anything.

Everyone in the world knows that Yue Qiuyun is ruthless, but only those who know him know that all his tenderness is hidden under his cold appearance, and is poured into the land where their family lives.

Yizhou is his painstaking effort, he cares about it, and never talks about it.

like now.

The monkey spirit sighed.

He was anxious for their general, but he had no choice but to ask helplessly, "Does the place where His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince lived need to be cleaned up by the servants?"

None of them were willing to touch Chu Yu's things, and none of them were willing to believe that the lively and gentle young master was the Sixth Prince who was destined not to belong to the desolate north.

Yue Qiuyun put down the book of war, pondered for a while, and shook his head, "His things don't need to be moved, just let someone clean the dust regularly."

Hou Jing was stunned for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "Yes, General."

Yue Qiuyun frowned, feeling that he had misunderstood what he meant, but seeing his cheerful appearance, he lowered his head and didn't say anything else.

It's just that after the noisy people left, the battle report couldn't be read anymore.

Yue Qiuyun put down the battle report and looked out the window at the lush peach blossom trees after the flowers withered. There was a wind, and the peach blossom trees rustled, shaking off a few peach leaves.

The short spring in Yizhou came to an end, and the sky in Yizhou began to rain lightly after that person left.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, let this servant close the window for you. It's raining outside. If the rain comes in, don't wet your paper."

A tall man was standing in front of the desk by the window, writing something with his wrist raised, when the servant next to him reminded him softly.

Before the words were finished, a gust of wind blew by, and the front of the case was wetted by rain.

Chu Rui froze for a moment, looked at the wet corner of the paper, and nodded slightly after a long time.

The servant who got the order hastily closed the window for him, and said worriedly, "Your Highness, the night watchman told me that you have been sleeping restlessly these days and nights, is it because you are not feeling well these few days?" It’s a little cold every day, so you better stop being humiliated by the wind by the window when you get up at night, you’re the one who suffers from illness.”

Chu Rui shook his head helplessly, "It's just that I can't sleep at night these days, it's nothing serious."

The boy hesitated for a moment, looked around a few times, lowered his voice, and asked nervously, "Your Highness, Second Prince, do you miss His Highness, Sixth Prince?"

Chu Rui hasn't heard about Chu Yu from other people's mouths for a long time.

So much so that when I heard someone mention it for a while, I was stunned for a long time without subconsciously denying it.

Seeing Chu Rui's appearance, the boy sighed sympathetically, thinking he had punctured Chu Rui's mind, and quickly comforted him, "Your Highness the Second Prince, Your Highness the Sixth Prince are just recuperating, and will definitely come to see you when you recover. of."

"..."

That's right, in the eyes of these servants who don't know the so-called, they don't know what palace change is. They only know that their master offended the new emperor and can't leave the palace for the time being, and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince just came out behind closed doors to recuperate because of illness. That's all.

Chu Rui stopped thinking about continuing to write, and threw the pen aside in a dull manner.

Just put down the pen, and there is nothing to do. I can only think that Chu Yu seemed to be like this when he didn’t want to practice calligraphy when he was listening to the bamboo building. Observe him with eyes.

I really thought that Chu Rui didn't find out, but he was just too lazy to talk about him.

Chu Rui sighed helplessly and rubbed his temples.

It may be that the situation in the capital has been tense recently, and the pressure is too great, so I keep thinking about these trivial and insignificant things.

A few days ago when Meng Zhenzhi returned to Beijing, they had met in private. Meng Zhenzhi told Chu Rui all the things he and Chu Yu had done during this period, and Chu Rui had a big fight with him because of this.

In fact, it is not considered a big fight. Chu Rui is not a quick-talking person, and Meng Zhenzhi doesn't like to argue with others.

Chu Rui hoped that Chu Yu could just stay in a safe place and wait for him to pick him up after he escaped, instead of taking such a big risk.

Meng Zhenzhi was still running around outside, and he was also secretly handling secret matters at the house, and the two of them tacitly did not bring up this matter again.

Just not saying it doesn't mean you don't care, it's just temporarily whitewashing the superficial calm, and the undercurrents in it are only known to those who are in it.

A noise interrupted his train of thought.

There was the sound of carriage ruts and people talking outside, and after a while, the young man came in and whispered, "Your Highness, Second Prince, there are people outside clamoring to see you."

Chu Rui frowned, "Not from the family?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "It's a farmer who comes regularly to deliver supplies, and he doesn't say anything if he asks him anything, but he just wants to see you."

Every month in Chengfu, there are peasants who come to deliver supplies, all of which are vegetables and fruits of the season. This tradition has not changed since Chu Qing blocked Chengfu, but the peasants who come to deliver supplies must They will be released only after the interrogation is completed.

During this period of time, some of the people sent by Chu Qing were replaced by Chu Rui, and the investigation of the people coming and going in and out of the house was relaxed a lot, even so, it was very strange.

Nothing like this has ever been seen before.

The sudden abnormality made Chu Rui aware of something, he pondered for a moment, nodded, "Let him in."

The boy nodded and went out in a hurry, but he ran back after a while, with a troubled expression on his face, "Your Highness, the second prince, then Xia Nongfei wants to bring in his supply bucket, and no one will let go if you persuade him What if his bucket touched something here and broke a thing or two?"

Although the decorations of Cheng Mansion are simple in appearance, they are all treasures. If one of them is damaged, it will be a gap that ordinary people can't fill in with a year's income.

Chu Rui didn't care about these, he flicked his sleeves, "Let him in."

After a while, an unattractive farmer came in, pulling a huge wooden barrel with a cart behind him.

The farmer saw Chu Rui for the first time, and he didn't panic, and saluted generously.

Chu Rui felt that his behavior was weird, and after looking at him calmly, his eyes fell on the barrel behind him.

After a while, he looked away, looked at the calm person in front of him and said slowly, with a deep tone, "I heard you want to find me?"

Xia Nong nodded, and said respectfully, "I would like to tell His Highness the Second Prince that Cao Min has admired His Highness the Second Prince for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to meet His Highness the Second Prince. Cao Min has a rare treasure and wants to take this opportunity to dedicate it to His Highness the Second Prince."

"Oh? A rare treasure?" Chu Rui touched his chin with one hand, and looked at the person in front of him casually with a pair of eyes.

The boy next to him carried the wooden barrel in for him just now, and was panting tiredly at this moment. After listening to this man's words, he almost couldn't catch his breath. "You are a farmer, what rare treasures can you have?"

He thought that he had some important information to report to Chu Rui, who knew that he would not be a liar if he made such a move.

He actually dared to lie to their second prince. He was quite courageous. When he thought of this, he became angry and waved his hand to drive away, "It's okay, you send the things to the kitchen and leave quickly. Not angry."

Chu Rui raised a hand to tell him to shut up, and raised his chin to the person who came, "What a rare treasure, take it out and have a look."

There are not many people who dare to send things to their Chengfu these days, especially such a bold one, and I don't know how he passed the inspection of the Imperial Forest Army at the gate.

The man smiled, "I hope His Royal Highness the Second Prince can come over and lift the cover in person, I believe His Highness will be satisfied."

This can be regarded as hoisting Chu Rui's curiosity to the extreme.

He got up, walked slowly to the side of his bucket, covered the lid of the wooden bucket with one hand, and glanced at the smiling person next to him.

Uncovering the lid, he lowered his eyes, took only one look, and then snapped the lid back quickly with a quick movement.

"How is it? Is His Royal Highness the Second Prince satisfied?" The man asked with a confident smile.

Chu Rui's face sank like water, and he couldn't see the slightest surprise. He nodded, his tone was dull, "satisfied."

The boy next to him was dumbfounded.

He didn't know what was in it that could make His Royal Highness the Second Prince say the word "satisfaction". This person is too bold, he dared to talk to His Highness the Second Prince like that.

Chu Rui asked the person, "What do you want?"

The man shook his head, "I have already received the reward, I am just doing things for others, since it has been delivered, then I should leave."

Chu Rui nodded, and said to the boy who was scratching his head curiously, "You send him out."

The servant replied reluctantly, but this time he was more respectful to the visitor, "This way please."

If His Royal Highness the Second Prince can be satisfied, does this person really have any abilities and what treasures he has hidden?

The boy scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.

Chu Rui had a cold face, looking down at the wooden barrel, and when everyone went out, only Chu Rui and the barrel were left, he turned his eyes away as if he was relieved.

Sighing, he said helplessly, "Come out, thank you for coming up with such a crazy idea."

If someone is here, I'm afraid they will jump up in fright.

The lid on the originally quiet wooden barrel was blown off suddenly, and after a while, a pair of beautiful eyes carefully poked out along the edge of the barrel, and looked around cautiously.

After confirming that no one else was there, those eyes met Chu Rui's sight, and after a while, they were stained with a smile.

A boy stood up and shouted excitedly while crawling out of the bucket, "Brother Huang!"

Chu Rui?

Chu Rui couldn't bear to look straight away and moved his face away.
