Chang'an [Rebirth]

Zhao Qian gave full play to an uncle's instinct of pampering children. He said with a "shh", "Your mother has gone on a long journey, so she asked me to come out to take a look if she was worried... I will help you move the ladder. Don't worry about it." Don't tell Lin Lang."

Guiltyly, he leaned the ladder against the tree, and carried the two children onto it.

There are not many people in the world who can make today's Holy Majesty look after children, Zhao Linlang is the only one, but Chai Zheng knows that after many years, this family affection will also be consumed by suspicion, and the eldest princess kneels in front of the palace for three days and nights , but could not kneel down to the emperor's attention.

Zhao Qian probably lacks common sense. A two-year-old child's legs and feet are still soft, and it is easy to fall when standing, and it is even more difficult to climb a ladder. Watching it fall.

This can't be blamed on Zhao Qian, even Chai Zheng himself forgot.

As soon as his foot stepped on the ground, Chai Zheng smashed towards Zhao Qian's face. Even though Zhao Qianxiong was so talented, he couldn't dodge it at all right now, so that he hit the bridge of his nose, and he burst into blood and tears. On the contrary, Chai Zheng had someone The face was used as a buffer, and Zhao Qian caught it firmly, nothing happened.

"..." Chai Zheng suspected that if he was a little fatter, he could break Zhao Qian's back on the spot, avenge his whole family, and change Dajing's dynasty.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Qian was sitting in the study, holding the Chai Zheng pulling his hair in his hand, and Ruan Linshuang stood beside him in a dignified manner, and he himself looked very embarrassed, with a red nose, simply taking medicine, and it hurts when he spoke I had to gasp, and tears fell involuntarily.

Chai Yuandao and Ruan Yuzhang were sitting opposite him, and the two fathers hesitated to speak——

They have important matters to discuss, but the atmosphere in the study is a bit childish.

"How about letting Lin Lang take the two children out?" Chai Yuandao suggested, "The children are so young, they can't understand what we say."

Zhao Qian shook his head, "It's okay, just because they don't understand, it doesn't hurt anything to stay here, not to mention that the children are very good, so we won't delay talking about business."

He spoke seriously, but he was actually afraid that Zhao Linlang would ask about the injury on his nose and the red marks on Chai Zheng's arm... When he caught Chai Zheng, his hands were strong.

The Holy Majesty had to obey, Chai Yuandao could only ignore Chai Zheng who was baring his teeth and claws as much as possible.

Ruan Linshuang's original purpose was to listen to the corner and see what the adults were saying. Although the process was different, the result was the same. For this reason, she gratefully kissed Chai Zheng on the forehead, Chai Zheng His eyes followed her so closely that he almost rolled his eyes.

Everyone thought that a four-year-old child was not fully literate, had few contacts with people, and was still at the age of playing, but forgot that the child also had a leader in the middle and was full of thoughts. Ruan Linshuang didn't know much about it, but she always knew that some After listening, you will understand.

What Zhao Qian wanted to talk about was about the Musang Kingdom, and not only that, Chai Zheng also heard something that was not recorded in the history books.

Zhao Qian said, "Half a month ago, Musang's domestic turmoil subsided, but the national treasure was stolen during this period. The new King Keqin insisted that it was stolen by our envoy, and detained the envoy three days ago and demanded the return of the sacred object. You must all know that."

Chai Zheng looked up at the reactions of everyone in the room, and found that besides herself, even Ruan Linshuang seemed to have heard about it.

But Ruan Linshuang had different thoughts. Her mother died of dystocia. Ruan Yuzhang is such a precious girl, and she expresses her love in a special way. She tells stories to her daughter when she has time. ", "The Ruins of the Vast Sea".

Therefore, Ruan Linshuang also has an impression of the sacred object of the Musang Kingdom, the "Linglong Bird".

It is a palm-sized peacock plume, made of gold, the pattern on it depicts the three-day celebration of Mu Sang Kingdom in its heyday, and in the middle is a hollowed out red gemstone, which contains the seeds of the sacred tree.

The whole shape looks like a human eye. It is said that if you look at the moon at night, you can also see the villain dancing, which is amazing.

In addition to being exquisite, luxurious and invaluable, this sacred object also contains the sacred tree seeds and the religious beliefs of the Musang Kingdom.

Every family in the Musang country respects an ancient tree in the sky by the sea. The ancient tree rarely blooms and bears seeds. Even if it does, most of it falls into the sea or has defects. The ancient tree has a faint tendency to wither in recent years. This seed is became the only hope.

In such a country with strong religious beliefs, the sacred object "Linglong Que" has the taste of being available to the world, and even the emperors who have been on the throne for nearly a hundred years directly use it as the imperial jade seal.

It can be said that the whole country was shocked by the loss of this kind of thing. Even if King Keqin didn't want to see the Dajing Dynasty, he would not make fun of Chuanguo Yuxi.

Zhao Qian continued, "I'm afraid the loss of Que Linglong is not fabricated, but there are two speculations now, one is that King Keqin's throne was not obtained rightly, and the other is that the uncle seized the nephew's throne. When the palace was in chaos, the treasure was stolen by the previous court." People took it out and hid it; the second is that I, Dajing, took advantage of the emptiness and entered and took the sacred objects of Musang Kingdom."

"The second statement is obviously untenable."

Chai Yuandao narrowed his eyes, "What are we thinking about with this thing? Is it because Musang has a reason to go to sea and invade our frontiers, or is it beautiful and can be cut open to grow trees? Purely value... this thing is also It’s hard to resell it.”

Although the Musang Kingdom is not big, it is extremely rich. All maritime trade must pass through their checkpoints before they can be released.

Of course, Chai Zheng knew how difficult this country was. Her father had been in poor health for a few years after his injury, and she had always remembered her grudge until the end of the day.

After Chai Guogong died, Mu Sangguo tried to take advantage of the chaos to violate the treaty, divide the land and occupy the city, and was driven back to the sea by Chai Zheng, who was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, crying for his father and mother, but this ambition was still unstoppable.

If someone really dares to take the sacred objects of this country, let alone a hand, as long as there is even the slightest trace left, it will be able to bite to death and not let go.

"That's why Yuzhang and I feel that King Keqin just wants to use this as an excuse to test our attitude." Zhao Qian frowned slightly, not even noticing that Chai Zheng bit his finger around the tooth marks.

Chai Yuandao thought to himself, "My son's teeth are really good", and said, "So you want to send me to the coast of the land of two rivers to have a look?"

Zhao Qian smiled, "General Chai's reputation spreads far and wide, and I rely on you to sit on the throne, not to mention that I have spent many years in the army with you, and we have lived and died together. If you don't bother you about this matter, who else can I go to?"

"No," Chai Yuandao shook his head hastily, "I have read a lot of history books and art of war, and it is clear that I am a master of merit. If you give me a high hat again, I will have to kneel down for you now."

"..." Chai Zheng never knew that his father could still be so relaxed.

In her memory, Chai Guogong was always a little sick. Although he was fierce when he beat children in war, his face was rarely bloody. point.

Sometimes even if he is seriously ill and is bedridden, when he hears Zhao Qian coming, Chai Guogong will kneel in the courtyard and wait for his driver.

It should be what happened in the past two years that caused the monarch and his ministers to have a rift, and in the end the family was ransacked and the family was wiped out, and the deep gratitude was exhausted.

Chai Zheng sighed softly in her heart, and looked up at her father who was only in his early thirties.

In Chai Zheng's heart, Chai Yuandao has always been a devil image, and now when he examines him carefully, he realizes that his father is not as majestic and strong as he remembered, with a powerful punch and a slap that can kill a bear.

On the contrary, Chai Yuandao looked like a sharper literati, his eyebrows, eyes and face were not uneven at all. When he squinted his eyes, the murderous aura honed by years of fighting had subsided, and he slumped on the chair lazily, quite similar to Zhao Linlang. Separate husband and wife.

And Dajing's eldest princess is recognized by the world as beautiful.

Chai Zheng thought unconscionably, "So my dead father looks like this."

She and Chai Guogong seem to have enmity with their father and daughter. No one has always looked down on anyone. Chai Zheng has not looked at her father for many years. In addition, she was only a teenager when she died, and the demon in her mind turned into a crooked nose every minute. Slanting strong man.

Putting Chai Guogong in front of her, Chai Zheng could immediately recognize that it was her own father. As soon as she moved it away and asked her to draw, she could draw a foursome of monsters and monsters.

Compared to Chai Zheng's idleness, the four-year-old Ruan Linshuang seems more mature than her.

The daughter of an ordinary family, at this age, don't talk about important national affairs, she can't even understand the quarrels over an acre of land, but Ruan Linshuang's intelligence seems to be brought out of her bones, and she can understand something in her ignorance.

It's just that these things are still too advanced compared to her, so that Ruan Linshuang's face is a bit sad, and she feels a little scared in her heart.

"Don't be afraid." Chai Zheng suddenly reached out to reach her, and quickly poked Ruan Linshuang's face with his fingers. When Ruan Linshuang looked up, he happened to see Chai Zheng's silent mouth.

"..." Among her peers, Ruan Linshuang has always been the quiet one. It's not because of her withdrawn personality, but because she was too good at playing games when she mixed in, and it ended up being completely boring.

Children also have edges and corners.

Ruan Linshuang didn't intend to pretend to be confused, the other children could also feel that they were different from each other, and as time passed, they began to avoid and avoid others, so Ruan Linshuang was more willing to be with books.

But just now, she suddenly discovered that this little sister could understand her own thoughts. Chai Zheng's fingers were a little warm, and brushed against Ruan Linshuang's eyes, just enough to wipe away the tears that hung on her eyelashes because of fear.

"Sister hug," Chai Zheng moved her body towards Ruan Linshuang, "I'm hungry, let's eat."

Zhao Qian and their conversation also came to an end. Chai Zheng saw Zhao Qian put something into her father's arms with his own eyes, then picked her up in one hand, and held Ruan Linshuang in the other, "Let's go, uncle will take you to the biggest place in Chang'an City. Go to the restaurant to eat."

Ruan Yuzhang followed behind and shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, you are spoiling the child like this."

"...Master Ruan, you are thinking too much," Chai Zheng bared her two front teeth and grabbed Zhao Qian's ear, she thought, "Xiao Ruan and I will look forward to his early death in the future, we can't be spoiled. "
