Loyal heart travels a long way

When Zhu Chengdong finally arrived in Qizhou, it was just in time for Chu Langwei to perform his last religious ceremony on the seventh day of the seventh week.

He was the general guarding one side, so he couldn't leave the ground easily. Fortunately, after the emperor got the news of Chu Lang's death, he ordered someone to guard Mobei for Zhu Chengdong first, so Zhu Chengdong was free to rush to Qizhou.

Even so, it took more than a month to go back and forth.

Chu Dancheng is not a person who will always be immersed in sadness and cannot extricate himself. When Zhu Chengdong saw him, Chu Dancheng's face was not as scary as it was at the beginning, and he could stand there properly.

Chu Lang said that he is narrow-minded, right or wrong, Chu Dancheng is indeed more prone to overthinking than others, but he will not dwell on the past all the time, but rather look to the future.

After all, he has Gu Zhiyao.

Chu Lang invited many monks to Chu's mansion to recite the mantra for the last ceremony, as if Chu Lang could walk comfortably and peacefully and have a good pregnancy in the next life.

When all the dust settled, Gu Zhiyao tugged at the corner of Chu Dancheng's clothes and asked him: "Brother, do you think your mother can really give birth to a good pregnancy? Is there any family that treats her better than the Chu family?"

Chu Dancheng turned his head to look at Gu Zhiyao, the child's edges and corners in front of outsiders were completely gone, his eyes were shining like thousands of stars falling into them, he really wanted Chu Lang to live well in his next life.

In fact, none of them knew whether a person would have a next life or not.But just like Chu Lang told the two of them, they are all living well, so she feels at ease.

Zhu Chengdong only caught up with the end of the ceremony, and he was going back in a few days.It has been more than a month since Chu Dancheng left the capital, and logically he should return to Beijing to resume his post, but the emperor sympathized with the loyalty and courage of the Chu family, who have always worked hard, so give him some time to rest.There are many facts in Chu Qingfeng's cabinet, so he had to go back to the capital first. Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao decided to go to Mobei with Zhu Chengdong to relax before making plans.

After the children came back for a few days, they were about to leave, and even Chu Mingyue wanted to go to the capital with Chu Qingfeng to have a look.

Fu Yuan's wife has gone, and needs a woman to help the two masters take care of the inner house. Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao are not married yet, so there is not much mess to manage in the inner house at the moment, it is nothing more than some accounts.Although she is not Chu Dancheng's biological sister, she is the daughter of Chu Lin. Since Chu Dancheng broke up with Qin Zhengqi, he regarded himself as the Chu family. It is understandable for Chu Mingyue to be the aunt who is in charge of the family.

All the children were leaving Qizhou for a while, and there were only two old ones and Chu Lin and his wife left.

Old General Chu could think about it, he didn't stay in the grief of Chu Lang's death, instead he comforted Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao to relax and not to make things difficult for him.

The death of a loved one makes people feel sad, but it is more important to live a good life. Some sadness and longing are not to be talked about every day, but to be seen on the face.

When they came, Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao rode in front and brought people all the way from the capital to Qizhou. When they left, Chu Qingfeng and Chu Mingyue took the people back in a carriage, while Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao only brought them back. Liaoying Er, Babao and Sixi followed Zhu Chengdong back to Mobei.

Zhu Chengdong returned to Qizhou with soldiers. People who have lived on the battlefield for a long time are not like those civil servants in the court.

A group of people went all the way north, Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao plus Ying Er, the three of them rode horses together with Zhu Chengdong, Jixiang Ruyi returned to the capital with Chu Qingfeng and Chu Mingyue, Babao and Sixi sat in the carriage.

At first, Babao wanted to go out and ride a horse together, there was no reason for the master to ride a horse and a servant in a carriage, Gu Zhiyao disliked him very much, and asked him to go back to the capital without taking a carriage, Babao then got into the carriage embarrassingly.

Sixi is good at doing good things, they are the personal servants who take care of the masters, they are not lieutenant scouts, they don't know how to ride horses at all, and they will be a drag when they go out.

On the way to the north, Gu Zhiyao deliberately relieved Chu Dancheng, talked to him more to let his brother relax, but he had never heard of that mouth along the way, so he just told Chu Dancheng all his experiences.Chu Dancheng was willing to listen to what Gu Zhiyao had to say to him, and he would listen to what the child said, and talk to him from time to time, but he didn't feel tired all the way.

Zhu Chengdong took some soldiers with him, and they traveled quickly. They didn't have to worry about such things as camping in the wild at night and hunting rabbits and pheasants. When they arrived in Mobei, only eight days had passed.

Mobei has always been an important military location, and the border between the north and the south of Tatar is the edge of the territory of Mobei.In recent years, the Great Zhou Kingdom has been strong and prosperous, and the surrounding small countries dare not invade. The Tatars continue to harass this border line. Both the emperor and the Chu family, who have been generals for generations, attach great importance to this land.

In the past few days, Zhu Chengdong went to Qizhou. He was replaced by a general sent from Beijing. Although he talked about the art of war, he had never actually been on the battlefield. bit.Zhu Chengdong was very worried, fearing that he was only talking about military affairs on paper. As soon as he returned to Mobei, he got off his steed, untied the outer belt of his robe, and walked into his tent to hand over to the general.

Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao came to Mobei to relax. Both of them are pure idlers with nothing to do. Fortunately, they got into the tent to rest and see what to do tomorrow.

Everything in the barracks was simple, not as refined as in the Fu Garden. Babao and Sixi hurriedly helped the two masters spread the bedding when they arrived in the tent, and a thick layer of animal skins was also spread on the ground.

Mobei is extremely cold in winter, but in summer it is not much cooler than the capital.When Gu Zhiyao saw the animal skins on the ground, he felt anxious all over his body, "Don't spread such waste, it's so hot, and there is no habit of storing ice here, and spreading animal skins on the ground in summer will not let me live ?”

"Making it up," Chu Dancheng ignored Gu Zhiyao's protest, "Yao'er always likes to walk on the ground barefoot, so make it up for him."

Chu Dancheng disregarded his own wishes, but Gu Zhiyao was not angry, on the contrary, he was a little happy that his brother would be extremely careful in everything whenever he encountered something related to him.

He just likes how Chu Dancheng treats himself well for others to see. He is so hot all day long that he can't help but bully Babao again after sitting on the animal skin honestly: "Hey, Babao, have you Where's the girl you're looking at?"

"Ah?" Babao was a little confused, not knowing what Gu Zhiyao wanted to say, "Young master, don't make fun of the slave, who spends all day serving you two in the mansion, where is the girl who makes the slave look up to you? "

"That's right..." Gu Zhiyao nodded, "The main reason why you don't like it is because they have to treat you well."

"Who says it's not?" Babao looked at the tea set in the tent, and frowned in distaste. The big bosses who often live in the military camp don't know how to live, and even the teacups are not made of porcelain. , people also have to look at slaves."

Gu Zhiyao nodded seriously, "You're right!"

Chu Dancheng had already discovered that Gu Zhiyao had something in his words, digging a hole and waiting for Babao to jump in by himself, he raised his eyebrows and gave Gu Zhiyao a sideways look, but didn't make a sound.

"Well, it depends on fate," Gu Zhiyao said while nodding his head, agreeing with his own words, "After all, there are really few people like my brother and I. He cares about me in everything, and I don't mind all toward him."

"Kacha", Babao smashed the teacup that he disliked so much on the ground with a blank face, and he lowered his head to clean up the broken porcelain, and then said: "Congratulations, little master, the slave is going Find a new tea set, and make tea for the master."
