Uncertain Chang'an

It was a bit late for the two of them to come out, and it was already lunch time before they arrived at the Princess Mansion.Xiao Wuding looked up at the sky, looked around, and said to Zhou Jinhe: "Miss, wait for me."

"Huh?" Saying that, Zhou Jinhe saw him get off his horse and walk towards the side of the street.

Xiao Wuding bought two bunches of candied haws from a street vendor, and soon went to Zhou Jinhe, handed her a bunch, and said, "Just use it as a pad for your stomach."

Zhou Jinhe subconsciously took it, a little dazed.Candied haws... After losing Chang'an, she never tasted it again.

Seeing Xiao Wuding holding a bunch of candied haws, she got on the horse and gnawed on the candied haws indifferently, she couldn't help laughing, and said: "I didn't expect that General Wuding, who made the Xiongnu fearful, would like this candied haws? "

Xiao Wuding shrugged indifferently, and said: "The taste is not bad."

She still remembered that when she was young, she went to the streets with Zhou Jinhe, and Zhou Jinhe always wanted this thing.She doesn't like this sweet and sour taste, but she feels that whatever Zhou Jinhe loves must have something special.

Zhou Jinhe smiled, biting the candied haws that Xiao Wuding handed her, feeling a little nostalgic.

"I have a good friend who loved this thing very much when I was young, and every time I had to steal it from me..." Zhou Jinhe said with a faint smile.

"I don't really like this food, but when I was young, my sister liked it, so I got used to it." Xiao Wuding looked as usual, but he slandered: You obviously love it, but you actually blamed me.

The two were gnawing on candied haws and walking slowly, when they suddenly saw a commotion on the opposite side, a group of people came chasing a young man.

"Stop! Little brat!"

"How dare you run! I won't break your legs!"

"stop!"

A few rough and fierce men were chasing a young man in shabby clothes, and they were about to get in front of them, Xiao Wuding was afraid of startling Zhou Jinhe, so he hurriedly got off his horse and stood in front of the horse.Mo'er and the guards behind also rushed up to protect Zhou Jinhe.

But before he got to the horse, the boy lost his footing and fell to the ground. The three men behind quickly caught up and greeted the boy with sticks.

"Oh, you are fucking running! Let me see how far you can run!" The leading man kicked the boy in the chest.The people around were startled, but they just formed a circle and didn't dare to go forward.

Where has Zhou Jinhe seen such a scene?The good mood of eating candied haws was gone. Seeing that the boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, pitifully helpless, he turned cold and shouted: "Stop!"

Following Zhou Jinhe's cold shout, Xiao Wuding also stepped forward, and kicked the head man's chest, the man was unprepared, and was kicked to the ground.

"Presumptuous! In broad daylight, how can this capital allow you to act so recklessly!"

Xiao Wuding stood in front of the boy with a cold and stern face.Soldiers are going through life and death on the front line, defending the country, not for these strong men to bully their unarmed compatriots!

"Who are you?!" The leading man rubbed his chest and got up. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Xiao Wuding and Zhou Jinhe dressed in extraordinary clothes. Boy, I advise you not to worry too much!"

As soon as the man said this, the surrounding people began to chatter.

"Yo, Lanyue Tower..."

"Leave it alone..."

"Young man, don't make trouble for yourself..." The old man stepped forward and pulled Xiao Wuding, "Lanyue Tower... can't be messed with..."

Xiao Wuding gave the old man a faint smile, and said: "Old man, thank you for your kindness, I have a measure."

Zhou Jinhe also got off his horse, went to the boy, helped him up, and asked, "Little brother, what's going on?"

The boy suppressed the tears in his eyes, clenched his fists, and said bitterly: "They lied to my father to gamble! Losing everything in the house was not enough, forcing my father to commit suicide, and my mother sold herself to pay off the debt , but when they saw that I was handsome, they wanted...they wanted...let me enter Lanyue Tower..."

Of course Zhou Jinhe had heard about Lanyue Tower.This is the largest brothel in the capital, not only there are women, but also handsome men, for the special hobbies of wealthy families.Although this dynasty is not full of masculinity, there are quite a few princes and nobles who like it.This is not a big deal, but it is said that the master behind Lanyue Tower is a certain important official in the Jin Dynasty.

Zhou Jinhe patted the young man to appease him, then got up and went to Xiao Wuding's side, looked at the group of men with a sneer and said, "Since the debts have been paid off, do you still want to force him into prostitution?! Do you still have the law in your eyes?!"

"You?!" The leading man was furious and was about to rush forward. Xiao Wuding was quick to protect Zhou Jinhe behind him, kicked him again, and shouted: "Get out! If you want to make trouble, I, Xiao Wuding, will be here Zhenbei General's Mansion is waiting for you!"

The three men were stunned when they heard Xiao Wuding's words, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, how could they meet this famous Zhenbei general!

When the surrounding people heard that it was Xiao Wuding, their voices were full of people, and the three had no choice but to leave in desperation.

"Good job, General!"

"As expected of General Zhenbei!"

"It's really a hero out of a boy!"

.....................................

A group of people gathered around and praised Xiao Wuding for a while, Zhou Jinhe looked at the reactions of the people around him, saw that Xiao Wuding's ears were a little red, and laughed.

It turns out that General Wuding, who is invincible on the battlefield, also has times of shyness.

The boy also got up at this moment and went in front of the two of them, knelt down to Xiao Wuding without any hesitation, and bowed to the end: "Thank you General and Miss for saving your life!"

Xiao Wuding hurriedly bent down to help him, saying: "It's a little effort, get up."

But the young man refused to get up, only raised his head to look at him, and begged: "I beg the general to accept Xi Le! Xi Le is willing to work for the general! Xi Le also wants to be like the general, and he can defend his family and the country in the future!" "

This made Xiao Wuding into trouble, he had no plans to accept an apprentice.But the kid just knelt there, as if he wouldn't get up unless he agreed...

Zhou Jinhe lowered his head and couldn't bear to see his stubborn eyes.She gently tugged on Xiao Wuding's sleeve, and said with a smile: "General, why don't you take it home and have a look first?"

Well... She can never refuse Zhou Jinhe's request.

Xiao Wuding sighed and said, "Get up."

"Yes! Thank you, General! Thank you, Miss!" Wang Xile kowtowed to the two of them a few more times before getting up.

Xiao Wuding sighed, let the surrounding people disperse, turned around and led the horse, and gave the reins to Zhou Jinhe.

The two got on the horse again, Wang Xile followed Xiao Wuding, the horse walked slowly, and he could keep up.

"I just... If the general's mansion is inconvenient, let him go to the princess' mansion." Zhou Jinhe said to Xiao Wuding with apology in his eyes.

Xiao Wuding turned his head and glanced at Wang Xile who was following him, and replied: "It's okay, but I don't know why Miss asked me to keep him."

Zhou Jinhe smiled lightly, looked into the distance and said leisurely: "My best friend, when he was stubborn when he was young, also had the same look in his eyes."

That tone was clearly full of longing.Xiao Wuding looked at Zhou Jinhe's profile, a little dazed.He quickly came back to his senses, turned his head and looked ahead with deep eyes, and stopped talking.

How could he not understand the taste of longing?

After farewell, we will meet again.A few times the soul dream is the same as the king.

Zhou Jinhe first asked the guards to go to the Princess Mansion to inform them, and when the group of them arrived in front of the Princess Mansion, Fei'er had already had the door opened and was waiting at the door.Xiao Wuding just wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Jinhe, but Her Royal Highness said: "Today I have a general, if you are not busy, let's go to the house and have lunch together." Her Royal Highness has said so, how can he say no?On the contrary, Wang Xile was frightened. Seeing everyone stopped at the gate of the Princess Mansion, he quickly knelt down and saluted Zhou Jinhe: "Cao Min pays homage to Your Highness the Princess!"

"Get up." Zhou Jinhe waved his hand at him, Fei'er saw them coming, and went to the horse to salute Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding.

Zhou Jinhe faced Wang Xile, pointed at Fei'er, and said with a smile: "Xi Le, tell Fei'er about your mother's matter later, and let her solve it."

The guard told Fei'er everything that happened on the road, and Fei'er naturally knew what was going on.She smiled at Wang Xile, feeling a little sympathetic to this young child.

When Wang Xile heard this, he knelt down excitedly again, and kowtowed to Zhou Jinhe repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhou Jinhe gave a look, and Fei'er stepped forward to help Wang Xile.The corner of Zhou Jinhe's mouth raised slightly, he turned his head to Xiao Wuding and said, "General, please come in." After saying that, he dismounted first and entered the gate.Xiao Wuding followed closely behind and also entered the princess mansion.

Although Zhou Jinhe didn't come to the mansion in the future, she personally reviewed and revised the design drawings, and she knew every plant and tree in the mansion.Zhou Jinhe was in high spirits all the way, seeing that the Princess Mansion was designed according to her idea, he was very satisfied, and introduced it to Xiao Wuding from time to time.Xiao Wuding was half a step behind her, seeing her excited appearance, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at her delicate and beautiful side face, with doting eyes.When Zhou Jinhe turned his head to look at him again, what he saw was Xiao Wuding who was as indifferent as usual, except that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.The pampering and tenderness just now disappeared in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.

After the two of them had lunch, Zhou Jinhe invited him to go for a walk in the back garden together, just to digest food.The back garden of the Princess Mansion is very large, and there is a lake with a pavilion in the middle of the lake. It must be very beautiful to think that the lake will be full of lotus leaves in summer.There is also a large magnolia tree in the corner of the back garden, which is lush.

Xiao Wuding looked over, his eyes were long and deep, he didn't look at Zhou Jinhe, he seemed to ask normally: "Your Highness likes Magnolia? The first time I saw His Highness was in the Magnolia Forest."

"Yes and no." Zhou Jinhe smiled slightly, not wanting to explain too much, and continued walking into the garden.There is a maid following from a distance behind, but not close.The two chatted one after another, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.Xiao Wuding followed Zhou Jinhe up the rockery, which is a good place to overlook the beautiful scenery.

Xiao Wuding couldn't help thinking that when he was young, he loved to sit on the branch of the huge tree in the yard, from where he could see Zhou Jinhe reading and writing in the house through the window.Zhou Jinhe naturally doesn't know how to climb trees, she can only watch him climb up the tree every time, and she is dissatisfied with swinging below.Thinking of this, Xiao Wuding almost couldn't help laughing, but fortunately Zhou Jinhe concentrated on looking at the scenery below, and didn't see General Xiao's "distorted face".

In order to prevent Zhou Jinhe from discovering the strangeness, Xiao Wuding hurriedly turned his eyes away and pretended to look around. He watched the people coming and going in the mansion behind the Princess Mansion, which seemed to be under renovation, and secretly smiled in his heart: Is this person People built such a rockery because they couldn't climb trees, right?After all, rockery is mostly used in gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in the capital rarely use rockery unless it is in the Jiangnan style.The Princess Mansion is obviously not in the Jiangnan style, and it is difficult for the craftsmen to take the trouble to integrate the rockery into it without looking abrupt.

Zhou Jinhe, who didn't know about Xiao Wuding's careful thoughts, was admiring the beautiful scenery of his mansion, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth: Well, the scenery at a higher place is indeed better.

In Lanyue Building, the three tall and thick men who were chasing people in the street not long ago knelt in front of the steward and reported what happened today.The person in charge squeezed the beard on his chin, thoughtfully: "General Zhenbei..."

"Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Let me deal with that girl." The manager waved his hand, then stopped suddenly, thinking of Wang Xile's mother's beautiful face and plump figure, his eyes flashed , and said: "Wait, it's better to give birth to her, and let the news out that she is dead. You guys are not good at doing things, and you will be deducted one month's silver!" After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the backyard.He still has to think of a way to make that girl obedient.

The author has something to say: Keke, the prototype of Wang Xile’s child is the meatball made by Jiyouyu, although I made her into a man and almost entered the brothel......
