After marching for a few days, Zhao Jun got out of the carriage and took a walk on the road while the daylight was good.

Before he had gone a few steps, he saw a black dog galloping towards him, with its ears flying back against the wind.When it was about to pounce on Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun quickly dodged to the side, pointed at the dog and said, "It's so dirty, don't touch me."

The silly dog ​​looked at it aggrievedly, biting the hem of his clothes and gently pulling it out as if trying to save it, but Zhao Jun ignored him: "No."

It walked up to Zhao Jun again and lay down, showing its soft belly, purring softly.Zhao Jun curled his lips and indicated with his eyes: "You have already lost me."

The guard who was guarding Zhao Jun stopped a few steps away from him and watched, his eyes changed from indifference to a faint smile.

Chen Ke and the others were a little impatient when they didn't see Zhao Jun when they came back, but in a blink of an eye they saw a man and a dog performing a fight scene, and they didn't bother, they stood watching from a distance.

The guard saw that his general and his personal guards were standing there, as if he didn't have much to do, so he went down consciously.

Zhao Jun raised his eyes to see a pond in the distance, and raised his head towards the pond: "Go and wash yourself."

The silly dog ​​knew that he might never be able to touch his master again if he didn't wash it clean, so he moved towards the pond step by step.Zhao Jun couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Go!"

The silly dog ​​barked loudly, and then ran towards the pond, shaking the water droplets on his body after a while, waiting for the sun to dry up, and then rushed towards Zhao Jun without hesitation.

The wound on Zhao Jun's body had just begun to heal, and he didn't have much strength on his body. The half-human-tall dog swooped with all his strength. Although he received it smoothly, he still took a step back involuntarily.

Chen Ke stepped forward to help him in time, but at least he didn't let Zhao Jun fall down.

The silly dog ​​fluttered too, and came down by himself again, circling around Zhao Jun, tripping him up from time to time, enjoying himself very much.

Yu Jianglin said: "I didn't say that, you didn't see him making such a fuss before you woke up."

Zhao Jun smiled: "It's so annoying, I have to do this once every day."

As a dog lover, Yu Jianglin expressed jealousy and asked, "Can I touch its belly?"

Zhao Jun nodded, and stretched out his gauze-wrapped hand.The jubilant dog caught a glimpse of this familiar movement and took advantage of the movement, exposing its belly, panting non-stop.

When Yu Jianglin intended to put his hand on Shagou's stomach, Shagou jumped up, first glanced at Yu Jianglin with dissatisfaction, and then looked back at Zhao Jun aggrieved.

Zhao Jun had no choice but to squat down by himself and say good things while smoothing his hair.

The dog's posturing anger circled Zhao Jun happily for a while.

He didn't bother to stand up, he just sat there with his legs straight, and the dog sat beside him and sat with him.

Seeing this posture, Yu Jianglin and the others made eye contact, and left after a while because they had something to do, leaving Chen Ke and him behind.

Chen Ke looked at the army marching forward not far ahead, and sat down beside Zhao Jun. At first, the silly dog ​​was a little repulsed, so he walked around to Chen Ke's place and smelled it, and sat directly on Chen Ke's lap. A generation.

Chen Ke's originally broad field of vision instantly became nothing but flowing snow-white dog hair.

Zhao Jun smiled: "Hey, it seems that it likes you quite a bit."

Chen Ke patted the dog's head, and said yes gently.

Zhao Jun paused and asked him, "Where's Huang Erniu?"

Chen Ke turned to look at him: "You want to see him."

Zhao Jun: "I don't want to."

Chen Ke: "..."

Zhao Jun looked at Chen Ke: "I mean, you can do whatever you want, leave me alone, I really don't want to see him."

Chen Ke sighed: "Okay..." He hesitated for a while and finally asked: "What do you want to do in the future?"

Zhao Jun turned his head, and suddenly there was a trace of indistinct emotion in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash. He shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it, let's take one step at a time."

Chen Ke's throat moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but just as he said "I", he was interrupted by someone who came: "General, we have arrived in the capital."

Chen Ke: "..." If it's not early or late...

So he stood up, patted Shagou's head, pulled Zhao Jun up again, sent him to the carriage, and said, "I'll go and have a look first, you should get a surprise."

Zhao Jun tilted his head: "Huh?"

Chen Ke made a fool of himself on purpose: "Just wait. I'll call you when the time comes."

Zhao Jun: "...bye."

Chen Ke laughed, turned around and galloped forward on the horse, bringing up a cloud of dust.

It was the same old rules, but this time Zhao Jun was pulled off the carriage by Chen Ke before he was ready, and said: "Come here, accept the worship."

The constant is going with the flow.After Gu Zhi and Chen Ke jointly clarified the people who had been mocking Zhao Jun, the wind reversed for a while, and everyone praised it.

Zhao Jun said to Chen Ke as he walked, "Suddenly I feel very sad."

Chen Ke smiled: "It's all like this. What many people do the most is to agree."

Zhao Jun looked at him: "I know, but the gap is really huge."

Chen Ke patted him, Xu Xu helped him to walk forward, his hands wrapped in gauze were slightly bent.

Although the National Defense Army defeated Shanghan this time, the loss of the National Defense Army was also great this time.

With a decent smile on Zhao Jun's face, he held Chen Ke's arm with one hand. The loose hand began to tighten gradually as the walking distance became longer. Chen Ke also felt it. The hand that was supporting Zhao Jun suddenly strengthened, transferring Zhao Jun's weight to himself.

Zhao Jun's body froze. From the beginning to the end, he never let go of Chen Ke's hand.

When he entered Beijing, he was not in the court hall, but went directly to the imperial study.

In summer, the study room is ventilated everywhere, and the blown gauze curtains carry the smell of incense.

Chen Ke stood leaning there with no image, Zhao Jun was arranged to sit, and Gu Zhi sat on the carpet and looked at the two of them back and forth.

After a long time, Chen Ke finally said impatiently: "Have you seen enough? Can I still show you more flowers?"

Gu Zhi: "...No, I'm an emperor anyway, so I should save face."

Chen Ke: "Hey, you still have face with me, why can't I see it?"

Gu Zhi: "..." He didn't know what to say for a moment.So he turned his head to look at Zhao Jun, who was sitting quietly on the chair, and said, "Zhao Jun, you have worked hard."

Zhao Jun just smiled: "It's okay."

Gu Zhi: "..." Why do I always feel that we can't continue talking this day... He stood up and went through the process in a very official way, and after stopping for a while, he suddenly asked as if thinking of something: "Shen Ke! You're going to be 25 this year, it's time to think about it..."

Before Chen Ke had time to say anything, he saw Zhao Jun standing up. He hurried over to help him, but heard Zhao Jun say slowly: "Since the emperor wants to discuss private matters with the general, I will go down first."

Gu Zhi thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, your current body is not suitable for sitting for a long time, let Eunuch Hua take you to the side hall to rest for a while." Then he called Eunuch Hua and said: "Send General Zhao to the side hall take a break."

Eunuch Hua came down and supported Zhao Jun to go out. Zhao Jun quietly avoided Eunuch Hua's hand and walked out by himself.

Eunuch Hua didn't force himself, and walked a little behind him.

Before Zhao Jun left, he stopped by Gu Zhi and asked him, "When will you consider getting a wife? How many do I have here..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ke interrupted: "I don't need you...I already have someone I like."

Gu Zhi's interest was instantly aroused: "Who?!!"

Zhao Jun didn't hear the answer, only heard a heavy closing sound.

He followed Eunuch Hua to the side hall, lying on the big soft bed, he curled up suddenly.

As soon as Gu Zhi finished speaking, he heard Chen Ke say, "Zhao Jun."

Gu Zhi: "Huh? Is it the Zhao Jun I was thinking of? The Zhao Jun who just went out?!"

Chen Ke nodded: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Gu Zhi stopped his indecency, asked him to sit down, sat on the steps, and said, "Shen Ke, have you thought it through?"

Chen Ke nodded.

Gu Zhi's expression became serious: "Do you still remember that you are the only one left in the Chen family? Do you also remember that he is the only one left in the Zhao Jun family?"

Chen Ke nodded: "I remember."

Gu Zhi laughed suddenly: "I have been guessing with Chengruo what kind of people will catch your eyes in the future, and then guessed again and again, famous ladies guessed it, Jianghu chivalrous girls guessed it, girls from good families guessed it, it can be counted. I never thought it would end like this.”

Chen Ke lowered his head and smiled: "I used to think that I would be like what you imagined, marrying a girl I like, with food, rice, oil, salt, children around my knees, happy times and sad times, and I will grow old like this..." He After a long silence, he finally said: "I met him later, from the initial bad impression to the understanding step by step... If you want to ask me why I like him, you can avoid it, I don't know. Maybe it's because When he was dying, he told me the promise he had made to me, maybe it was because of a smile, or maybe this and that. Many, many. When I first started to face up to this relationship, I felt very embarrassed, because between us The gap is too big, not only in terms of psychology, but also in terms of status. I was afraid that he would be embarrassed, and I was also afraid that he would not accept it, so I chose to keep it in my heart and didn't say it, but I didn't expect that I would miss it for so long if I didn't say it for a while , nearly three years. Later, after we separated, I thought about it intermittently, and for a long time. After they passed away, they are gone, and I can’t talk about inheriting the family and carrying forward. And what about Zhao Jun? I asked his master, and his master asked me to handle it myself. If Zhao Jun agreed, then I should. If not, And I hope it’s not forced.”

Gu Zhi was silent for a long time after listening, and finally nodded: "That's how it is, if you make up your mind, I can't force you. But where is Zhao Jun?"

Chen Ke hesitated for a long time: "I haven't said yet..."

Gu Zhi: "..." I fucking knew it was too early to believe you.

After they finished negotiating, Gu Zhi called Zhao Jun again, discussing how to let him get better and go to Taixue to go to school.

Zhao Jun: "...Okay." Why does it feel like his good days are coming to an end.
