[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

After some renovations, the Qin Mansion is quite different from the former Liaoluo.

The servant planted many flowers and plants in the yard, and the eaves and columns were repainted.

Qin Zhongyu ordered someone to set up a reclining chair in the middle of the yard. As soon as it was dawn, he took a book and lay down on the chair to bask in the sun.

The sun is just right in Zhongdu this season, especially in the early morning, with a little warmth, accompanied by the humid dew last night, it is very pleasant.

Tan Zhongyu didn't read the book, but covered his face to block the sun.

The sun gradually shifted from the east, Tan Zhongyue lazily turned over, and continued to cover his face with a book to bask in the sun.

A tall and straight figure in the distance gradually approached, waved his hand to signal the saluting servants to silence, and then stopped in front of Tan Zhongyue and his reclining chair.

Feeling that the sunlight falling on his body was blocked a little, Qin Zhongyu moved to the side.

The man couldn't help smiling, reached out to pick up the book that was covering his face, and flipped through it casually.

Tan Zhongyu squinted his eyes slightly, looking up at the person in front of him, unable to tell whether he was in reality or in a dream for a moment, so he stared blankly at the person.

"Have you changed your name?" Li Jin looked at him condescendingly and asked.

"Not yet." Tan Zhongyue said.

Li Jin returned the book to the other party, raised his eyes to look around, and said, "Where's your righteous brother, why don't you come out to pick him up?"

"It must have been because of excessive anxiety and worry yesterday, and some insomnia. I'm afraid he is still asleep now." Tan Zhongyue said.

Hearing this, Li Jin sat down on a stone bench beside him, and said, "You grew up in the southwest, how come the official language is so good?"

"I don't know." Tan Zhongyue said.

Li Jin was not annoyed when he heard the words, and continued to ask: "Do you have any relatives in your family? Just follow Mu Qiu to Zhongdu, won't you be worried?"

"There is an uncle." Tan Zhongyue said, "I don't want me anymore."

Li Jin frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said nothing more.

Tan Zhongyue got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Jin.

"Stay with me for a while." Li Jin said suddenly, "You can leave after Mu Qiu wakes up."

"Yes." Tan Zhongyue replied expressionlessly.

Li Jin stared at the other party for a while, then suddenly sighed.This time Tan Zhongyue's face was a little moved, and he couldn't help but look sideways at him.He hadn't looked at each other carefully for nearly four years.

Back then, King Ning'an was full of vigor, with a courage that could not be concealed in his bones.

Now he has become the son of heaven, but his whole body is full of loneliness and helplessness.It seems that in these short few years, the soul has been bruised and bruised by life.

"You're old." Tan Zhongyue said suddenly.

Li Jin was taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed and said, "I'm not mistaken, you are indeed very similar to him, so it's no wonder that Mu Qiu recognizes you as his righteous brother."

Tan Zhongyue looked at him puzzled, then heard him and said: "Some things are strange, Mu Qiu looks exactly like him now, but I can't find anything similar to him in Mu Qiu, so It's that face, and it seems to be getting less and less like it."

"On the contrary, it's you, who looks nothing like him, and seems to be a little shorter than him, but when you stood there last night and said your name..." Li Jin had to calm down his emotions, and said: "I almost thought it was him standing there."

Tan Zhongyue was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly, "That's why you got so angry, so angry?"

Li Jin nodded, and said: "He almost pissed me off. If I see him again, I really wish I could do it...with my own hands..." Before he finished speaking, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally some Dejectedly chose silence.

Qin Zhongyu forced a smile, and said: "Your Majesty may not have this chance. Death is like a lamp going out, and it may be difficult to reincarnate. Even if he is really reincarnated one day, he must have changed his temper. I am afraid that His Majesty will not recognize it." gone."

Li Jin stared at Tan Zhongyu for a moment, and said, "Since I can't see him anymore, why don't you follow me into the palace?"

Tan Zhongyue pondered for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to be his substitute? Stay by your side, so that when you get angry, you can drag me out and kill me at any time?"

"En." Li Jin nodded reassuringly.

Qin Zhongyue remained silent, Li Jin said again: "If you agree, I will come to the palace with you... for seven days, if after seven days I am so angry that I kill you, I will allow you not to change your name."

Qin Zhongyue remained silent, and Li Jin said again: "Your righteous brother has a nephew who is less than one year old. If you can stay in the palace for a month without losing your life, I will allow you to give away your righteous brother's nephew. The little nephew was brought to the Qin residence to be raised, and I won't bother about it anymore."

"Really?" Qin Zhongyue asked.

"When have I lied to you?" Li Jin said.

Tan Zhongyue looked into the other's eyes, slightly absent-minded for a moment.After a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, you have no jokes, I promise you, let's go."

Li Jin still sat and stretched, and said: "Don't worry, I still have business with your righteous brother and General Zhao."

Hearing this, Tan Zhongyu lay down on the recliner again, and pulled the book over his face.

Li Jin didn't take it seriously, he sat there thinking about something, and was absorbed in his thoughts.

It wasn't until Tan Muqiu came out of the room in a hurry, followed by Zhao Qingming who was chasing after him, that he came back to his senses and looked at the two disheveled people with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty." Tan Muqiu tidied up his clothes indiscriminately, and was about to kneel when he stepped forward.

"Didn't you say don't kneel casually, besides, this is at your house." Li Jin said and glanced at Zhao Qingming behind the other party, and the other party's neckline that hadn't been adjusted in time showed ambiguous red marks inside.

Li Jin sighed again, and from the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Tan Zhongyue sat up at some point and was staring at him, so he looked at him inexplicably, and then at Tan Muqiu.

Tan Muqiu suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, his name has been changed."

Li Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said, "What did you replace it with?"

"It's changed..." Tan Muqiu's thoughts changed sharply, and when he saw the stone bench Li Jin was sitting on, he said, "It's called Qin Shi."

"Why don't you call it Tan Ben?" Li Jin teased.

Tan Muqiu smiled awkwardly, and Li Jin felt a little sad when he saw this, so he said softly: "Muqiu, you and I are not strangers. No matter how many things we have experienced, the friendship between you and me will never be erased. You know I'm glad you're alive."

He looked at Zhao Qingming who was standing on the side again, and said: "General Zhao is a long-term man, worthy of entrustment." After speaking, he took out a fast soldier talisman from his bosom, and said: "The patrol outside the city of Zhongdu used to be Marquis Zhao. Master is in charge, now that he has returned to the south of the Yangtze River to retire, he will be handed over to General Zhao. Tomorrow morning, I will announce the decree."

Zhao Qingming hesitated for a moment, then said: "General Xue Huaiguang of the Habayashi Army has always been prudent, he is better than my minister..."

"It's up to you." Li Jin said: "The Habayashi Army has changed your commander within a year. If you transfer General Xue away again, there may be something wrong."

Hearing this, Zhao Qingming had no choice but to accept the military talisman and order to thank him.

Tan Muqiu frowned, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Li Jin gave Zhao Qingming the military power in Zhongdu, firstly as a gesture of goodwill and absolute trust, secondly because he wanted to give the other party peace of mind, and at the same time give Qin Muqiu peace of mind.

Last night Tan Muqiu's trembling appearance really made him feel uncomfortable, anyway, that was the person he was willing to protect with his life, and he didn't allow the other person to become unfamiliar with him.He had already lost too much and couldn't bear any more.

"Get up." Li Jin got up, and Qin Zhongyue also got up.

"Mu Qiu, your foster brother... is really...too arrogant, I will bring you back to the palace to discipline and discipline you." After saying that, he led Tan Zhongyue out.

Qin Muqiu and Zhao Qingming followed to see off the guests, the former opened his mouth several times but didn't know how to speak.

Instead, Tan Zhongyue walked to the door and smiled back at him, signaling him not to worry.

"What on earth is he going to do?" Tan Muqiu kept on repeating the whole morning, but the stone in his heart still couldn't fall to the ground.

"Don't worry, do you think everyone is like me?" Zhao Qingming said.

"What's the matter with you?" Tan Muqiu asked puzzled.

Zhao Qingming smiled and did not answer, but grabbed the other person's hand and said, "If you don't want to stay in Zhongdu, I will resign after a while. Let's go wherever you want."

Qin Muqiu thought about it seriously, and said: "Go to Jiangnan first, and see Master Hou and Aunt Zhao. You and Duan Wu are not around, so they must be very lonely." Zhao Qingming pulled the other party into his arms, and hugged each other. He kissed his forehead, and his heart was so warm that it was about to melt.

Zhao Duanwu rode a horse around the west of the city for a long time, and finally found an unremarkable house in an unremarkable alley.The house is indeed not big, and it is indeed quiet and elegant.

Zhao Duanwu knocked on the door and no one answered, so he walked in.

There seemed to be no servants in the whole yard.

He smelled the smell and found the kitchen in the backyard. Wuyun came out with a bowl of plain noodles, almost splashed on Zhao Duanwu, and the noodle soup spilled on Wuyun's hand.Seeing this, Zhao Duanwu hurriedly went to pick up the bowl, but Wuyun blinked and said, "Be careful it's hot." While speaking, Zhao Duanwu had already picked up the noodles, and then the bowl fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhao Duanwu looked at the ground with some embarrassment, then looked at the opponent's hands and said, "Are your hands okay?"

"It's okay." Wuyun said, scooped up cold water for a while, then asked, "Are you hungry?"

Zhao Duanwu looked at the face on the ground and said, "A little bit."

So Wuyun cooked the noodles again, but this time he cooked two bowls.

The two sat and ate noodles facing each other. Zhao Duanwu suddenly stretched out his head and patted Wuyun's furry head. .

"You can shave it off when it grows too long." Wuyun said with a smile.

"You are no longer a monk, why do you still not eat meat?"

"I didn't know you came, I didn't buy it."

"Then will you become a monk again in the future?"

"I don't want to be that anymore."

"Where are Taoist priests?"

"will not."

"Does your hand still hurt?"

"You can blow it up for me."
