The romantic and arrogant villain is forced to love him every day

Chi Zhou's eyes widened, a trace of wavering flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head resolutely.

"I don't need anyone's protection."

Jiang Tang was in a good mood and did not refute.

In his opinion, this is just a tough talk from a person who is unable to resist.

But it doesn't matter, he's happy to coax now.

After all, he was different from Jiang Du who was about to overthrow the Chen Kingdom when he opened his mouth.

"Okay..." Jiang Tang spoke softly, for fear of scaring the other person. "We, A Zhou, can protect ourselves."

Chi Zhou relaxed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

……

Chi Zhou left Jiang Tang completely without letting him touch his hand.

Jiang Tang looked at his leaving figure and felt something else in his heart.

Chi Zhou today seems to be more attractive than Chi Zhou in previous days.

It made him feel itchy.

*

After doing enough superficial work in the military camp, Jiang Tang returned to his original self.

But the Fifth Prince Party wanted to take advantage of Jiang Du's absence in the capital to work for Jiang Tang and let him do some achievements so that he could look good in front of the emperor.

For example, on the outskirts of the capital, snow crushed the houses of the villagers. Jiang Tang, who was passing by, was so kind that he personally removed the snow for them and paid for people to repair their houses, which won praise from others.

For another example, when leaving the palace to buy special food outside the palace for the queen, someone happened to have his wallet stolen. Jiang Tang took action and chased him back, and the onlookers applauded.

So wait.

But most of these can only be described as acts of kindness. When the emperor heard this, he just praised it and didn't even get a reward.

The five princes were so anxious that they were bald, and finally chose from thousands of people and asked him for a task of suppressing bandits.

This group of bandits is not around the capital. If they go there, including the distance and the estimated time of suppressing the bandits, they will have to leave the capital for about half a month.

Jiang Tang, who was having a "tender affection" with Chi Zhou, didn't want to be separated from him for a long time.

After thinking over and over again, he finally decided to take Chi Zhou with him.

Chi Zhou had long been tired of staying in the palace.

Except when he was racking his brains to draw pictures of Jiang Du in spring dramas with different postures, he was bored out of his mind the rest of the time.

"Is this really okay, Your Highness?"

Chi Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard the news.

It was rare for Chi Zhou to speak the truth in front of Jiang Tang, and he couldn't even hide the excitement inside.

Jiang Tang, who thought he was gradually opening up Chi Zhou, did not take this small anomaly seriously.

He nodded calmly.

"I said yes, of course."

Chi Zhou turned around twice in great joy, but his face fell immediately.

"... Protons are not allowed to leave the capital at will. Your Highness' place to suppress the bandits has already left the capital, right?"

Jiang Tang has sent many things to Chi Zhou these days.

Most of the time, he just accepted it out of politeness and was not very happy.

After finally finding something he likes that is visible to the naked eye, how can Jiang Tang care about this?

He patted his chest in assurance.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will blame you."

Chi Zhou smiled, as if an iceberg had melted.

"Then please trouble Your Highness."

……

In order to increase the success rate of this bandit suppression, in addition to the troops allocated to Jiang Tang by the imperial court, each aristocratic family that supported him also sent their elites to accompany him.

Sufficient troops gave Jiang Tang great confidence.

So much so that he didn't take the bandit village seriously, which was described in the memorial as being 'extraordinarily ferocious', 'good at guerrilla warfare' and 'unable to attack for a long time'. He only regarded it as an opportunity to go out to Beijing for fun.

However, the appearance of a luxurious carriage during the march still made everyone's expressions change slightly.

Especially when Jiang Tang's hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.

There were people laughing and joking inside the car, but the atmosphere outside the car was extremely dull. Everyone had different expressions immediately.

When we reached the first station, two people got off the carriage.

Only then did everyone realize that there was another person in the car.

It was obvious that many people recognized Chi Zhou. They had different expressions, but no one said hello.

Jiang Tang expressed some discomfort in the face of everyone's dull and puzzled looks.

"Chi Zhou is traveling with me this time because of the permission of the Queen. You must cheer up and show the prince of Chen Kingdom our heroic figure as Jiang Guoerlang!"

Chi Zhou smiled and said nothing.

After coming to Jiang State, few people mentioned his identity as the prince of Chen State.

On the surface, these people look like young masters, but in private, don’t they all call them protagonists of a certain country?

The first mention of this by Jiang Tang actually frightened many people.

"Yes!" someone responded. "We, Jiang Guoerlang, have always been brave and brave, and we will definitely not disappoint His Highness!"

After successfully getting through this silent accusation, Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating, the army rested.

Jiang Tang was brought into the tent for discussion by the special military advisor, while Chi Zhou quite comfortably blended into the crowd to warm himself up.

Those big and thick men were all a little afraid of this fair young man.

First, he was afraid of getting his fine clothes dirty.

The second is that he is afraid that the topics they often talk about will taint his ears.

As a result, within five meters with him as the center, no one gradually disappeared.

Those who were closer to him also lowered their voices to speak.

Chi Zhou only found it funny, picked up a half-burned piece of firewood, and drew on the ground for fun.

Just when he thought that was the end of the day, someone suddenly sat down next to him.

The other party is not wearing military clothes, it should be foreign aid sent by a certain family.

"I remember you," the man said straight to the point.

Chi Zhou's painting hand paused, a little strange. "Your Excellency, is...?"

"My name is Jiang Si." Jiang Si introduced himself very briefly, then immediately turned the topic back to Chi Zhou and repeated, "I remember you."

"..." Chi Zhou couldn't laugh or cry. "There are many people who remember me...but I really don't have much impression of you, I'm sorry."

Jiang Sihun didn't care, and just said to himself: "It was you who moved the fifth prince's arrow that day."

Chi Zhou: "..."

Someone actually discovered it?

However, Jiang Tang has not come to trouble him for such a long time. Jiang Si probably did not report this fact.

"Your Excellency must have seen it wrong. How could I have such ability?"

Although what Jiang Si said was true, Chi Zhou certainly couldn't admit it.

Jiang Si stretched out his hand and pointed at his eyes.

"I have very good eyesight, and I can see moving objects especially clearly."

"Oh..." Chi Zhou threw the stick used for painting into the fire. "Are you the one called the 'Marksman'?"

Jiang Si: "I dare not take this high praise seriously."

Chi Zhou felt relieved.

Jiang Si must have had excellent dynamic vision. He captured the trajectory of the bead and noticed that it collided with the tip of the arrow.

"...Okay, it's me." Chi Zhou had no choice but to admit.

He could sense that Jiang Si had no ill intentions.

Plus, there was no one around them, so it didn't hurt to admit it.

Jiang Si took out a small cloth bag from his arms and slowly opened it. Inside was the small bead that was the 'culprit' that day.

Chi Zhou: "..."

This man actually went out of his way to pick it up and put it away.
