Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from her and continued:

"Did His Highness the Prince come to me to kowtow and become my disciple? This is what he swore to himself yesterday."

Seeing him saying this, Princess Moyue said to him:

"Brother Huang was disgraced yesterday, and today he is comforting the old master in the post house. We brothers and sisters have been studying under the old master since we were young. We originally thought that we would bring him here this time to meet you, the literati of the Xuanwu Dynasty, and give him some respect. Leave a name and build a fortune. I didn't expect that it would be a bad start, and you would destroy it in the first round. In fact, he is not just trying to gain fame and reputation as you said. He has always been doing knowledge in a down-to-earth manner. He has been aloof all his life, but in the end The evening festival is not guaranteed, and it is ruined in your hands. This is really a sad destiny, and now he is clamoring to go back early. Brother Buhuang is wasting his words to persuade him in order to keep him for a few more days. "

Jiang Chen felt a little unbearable when he heard what she said. Originally, this incident was caused by him.Although the two people have different positions, they always have a feeling of sympathy for the old master.

Thinking of this, he said to her:

"How about I go meet with your husband? If things are settled, maybe his heart will be opened."

Princess Moyue looked at him in surprise and said:

"Are you serious? Are you really willing to persuade the master to stay?"

Jiang Chen smiled at her and said:

"I just promised to persuade him. As for whether he agrees to stay or not, that is his business."

Princess Moyue said:

"Actually, the old master's heart is with you. As long as you speak, he will definitely listen to you. But you just came back from the capital, and it will be too troublesome for you to have to go back and forth again."

Jiang Chen said to her:

"I'm young and strong, so running around isn't too tiring, so let's leave quickly. I'll go back and tell my mother."

Princess Moyue was naturally happy. She didn't know why, but she was willing to be with the person in front of her.

As soon as she faced him, the arrogance and hostility in her body disappeared without a trace.

When she saw that Jiang Chen was willing to go to the capital with her, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyebrows and eyes.

When Jiang Chen went home and told his mother that he was going out again.Li Susu said to her son a little worriedly:

"Chen'er, it's right for your friends to ask you to help. I'm just worried about your mother's hard work of traveling back and forth. As long as you feel you should go, then go ahead. Just be careful on the way."

Jiang Chen bid farewell to his mother and followed Princess Mo Yue and several of her entourage towards the capital.

Jiang Chen was lamenting in his heart that the poor information from ancient people was too much of a delay.If you have a mobile phone to contact you, you won't have to run back and forth again and again.

It can be seen that experiencing these two eras and feeling two different lives has a different artistic conception.

Jiang Chen thought of himself and was about to get up to go to Xiliang, so he wanted to know the situation in Xiliang from the side.He pretended to be casual and asked her:

"Your Highness Princess, when you came, was there still fighting on the border between our two countries?"

Princess Moyue said to him:

"How come you, a commoner, are still concerned about the affairs between the two countries?"

Jiang Chen looked forward and said casually:

"I see that you haven't spoken a word. Aren't you running out of things to talk about? Otherwise, we would be like two dumb people along the way. It would be so boring."

Princess Moyue smiled and said:

"You are right. Do you think I am too boring?"

Jiang Chen said:

"Like you, I am also a very boring person. Then let's find something to talk about. The only topic related to us is the war between our two countries. What do you think of the previous war? .”

Princess Mo Yue hesitated for a moment and said to Jiang Chen:

"The war has only brought disasters, leaving many soldiers unable to return to their homes and countries. The common people have suffered even more, living in this precarious war. In the past, our two countries each defended one side, and we could not live in peace with each other. It's a matter of fact. Ever since my cousin Zhang Zonglin took over the military power, it seems that there will never be any peaceful days anymore. In the beginning, the one who guarded the border in your Xuanwu Dynasty was a general named Li Chenglong. At that time, one man was in charge of the border, and ten thousand people were guarding the border. Fu Mokai. After Li Zonglin couldn't attack for a long time, he suddenly stopped moving. But not long after, he actually won a complete victory in one fell swoop. He killed the general named Li Chenglong and fled. Later, he continued After conquering several pass cities, it was not until your Xuanwu Dynasty requested peace talks and agreed to pay tribute every year that he stationed his troops at the border passes and stopped moving."

Jiang Chen asked her further:

"How come I heard that General Li Chenglong surrendered to Xiliang, and the court killed his entire family because of it. I heard you just said that he was defeated and escaped. Is that true?"

Princess Moyue said to Jiang Chen:

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be quite concerned about border issues?"

Jiang Chen said according to the situation;

"If General Li really surrendered to Xiliang, he would have really let down the imperial court's reliance on him. His great reputation ended up being a traitor and surrendering to the enemy. As a result, everyone was executed. It's really a pity for him. The most unworthy thing is that there are so many lives in the Li family. When he surrendered, did he not think about the lives of his whole family? I really don’t know what he was thinking at the time. When he was enjoying When you, the people of Xiliang, gave generous salaries to his high-ranking officials, did you ever feel ashamed because of his personal behavior? Doesn’t he feel sad for the lives of so many relatives? "

Princess Moyue glanced at him and said:

"It seems that you are also a passionate man. You are filled with indignation first because of other people's affairs. You are really worried about the ancients. Those who don't know may think you are his relative."

Jiang Chen said to her;

"Don't forget, my surname is also Li, and the character "Li" is indistinguishable. We were a family 500 years ago."

Princess Mo Yue smiled brightly after saying this, and she mysteriously said to Jiang Chen:

"Just because you and he are the same family, I will tell you a secret. General Li Chenglong did not surrender to us, Xiliang, as your court said."

Jiang Chen immediately said:

"Really or not, why is there such a reversal? The emperor killed his whole family because he surrendered to the enemy and treason. If it is true as you said, wouldn't the emperor have wronged a good person? Then the family of General Li Chenglong, wouldn't they It’s such an unjust death.”

Princess Mo Yue sighed softly and said:

"Since ancient times, how many loyal ministers and good generals have not died on the battlefield, but they all died in the hands of treacherous ministers. What do you think is novel about this? If you want to blame it, you can only blame it. General Li Chenglong did not meet the Ming Lord. He himself He sold his life for the imperial court, and in the end not only was he accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but he also lost the lives of his whole family. You said, if he had known that he would end up like this, he would not have killed him for it. Your emperor died."

What Princess Mo Yue said next was not heard by Jiang Chen.

He only heard the autumn wind in his ears and the rustling of leaves.

Maybe Princess Moyue is right. If a person can predict his future, he doesn't need to be too attached to the present.
