Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

"A bunch of old folks!"

Chu Tingyun spat coldly, and directly kicked the gate of Tai Chi Hall shut.

Ye Huaiyun waved his hand to make all the servants inside and outside the hall retreat, sat down beside him and said, "Why are you so angry this time? Didn't I promise you last time, you are the only one in this life. As for the courtiers' advice, I'll figure out a way to prevaricate."

To put it simply, the unhappiness in Chu Tingyun's heart disappeared instantly when it hit his eyes.Ye Huaiyun turned his head to look at the warm sun that was hiding behind the clouds and was about to rise.

"Tingyun, you have seen all the sons of the vassal kings at this year-end banquet." He was speaking to Chu Tingyun, but his eyes were always on the sky, as if looking at some unreachable distance , suddenly smiled lightly, "Who do you think can take on the big responsibility?"

Hearing this, Chu Tingyun really recalled the looks of those young princes, whether they were cruel or quick-witted, or lively or taciturn.

Just as he was about to compare one that he thought was more suitable, he caught a glimpse of Ye Huaiyun's thoughtful profile, and suddenly realized something.

"You..." Chu Tingyun paused, "You want to?"

Ye Huaiyun nodded silently, keeping everything in silence.

Chu Tingyun also looked towards the place where his gaze stayed. The white clouds looked like a entangled dragon, blown by the wind, and dispersed.Chu Tingyun laughed, as if feeling emotional, "You, if you really make a decision, you are crazier than me."

Outside the door, there was the sound of Xie Lan knocking lightly on the door.

Ye Huaiyun then turned his eyes away from the horizon, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty." Xie Lan said, "Chen Bogong asks to see you."

"What is this old man doing here?" Chu Tingyun frowned upon hearing this, "Do you want to pick on me again? Or do you want to give your daughter to you?"

Ye Huaiyun sighed, probably because of these two things, she said to Chu Tingyun, "Go and hide in the secret passage first."

Chu Tingyun said "Oh" without a tone, no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't go too far when discussing matters in Ye Huaiyun's study.

Ye Huaiyun sat down at the imperial table after the secret door of the secret passage was closed, and someone came in.

When Chen Bogong walked into the main hall, his eyes flicked around, as if he was looking for something in the hall.

Ye Huaiyun coughed lightly, and told him to flatten his back, and said in a majestic voice, "What is Aiqing looking at?"

Probably because he didn't expect his small actions to be discovered, Chen Bogong smiled awkwardly, "I am amazed at the design of His Majesty's palace, appreciate it, appreciate it."

"..." Ye Huaiyun didn't go around with him, and asked straight to the point: "What's the matter with Aiqing asking to see you?"

Chen Bogong slowly took out a book with a bright yellow cover from the wide sleeves of his official uniform.Ye Huaiyun glanced at it lightly. From the perspective of thickness, it seemed to be thicker than the book he read for crimes this morning.

Chen Bogong wanted to present the memorial to the imperial table, but before putting down the things, he asked tentatively: "Is General Chu not in the palace?"

"..." Ye Huaiyun said without changing his expression, "Not here."

"But I heard that General Chu has entered the Tai Chi Hall with His Majesty since he came down to court, and has never left." Chen Bogong directly declared his disbelief.

Ye Huaiyun was amused in her heart, but she was honest, "I heard? Who did Ai Qing hear?"

He pretended to be displeased, "Could it be that Bo Gongan has inserted someone to monitor me?"

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Chen was so frightened that his knees gave up immediately, and he knelt timidly on the ground, and even the memorial slipped from his hands, "I made a mistake."

"Get up." Ye Huaiyun didn't intend to embarrass the veteran of the three dynasties at all, and asked after the beating was enough, "Uncle, why do you want to see me?"

Chen Bogong picked up the booklet from the ground, handed it to Ye Huaiyun respectfully, and said, "I want to join General Chu and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Ye Huaiyun: "..." Why is it here again?And when did Chu Tingyun kill innocent people indiscriminately?

He subconsciously thought it was another misunderstanding, so he asked Chen Bogong to continue talking.

Chen Bogong stood aside and said: "On the [-]st of the twelfth lunar month, General Chu was in the process of arresting people and handling the case, just because a frail girl accidentally blocked the way, Chu Tingyun pushed her down the stairs, blood spattered three times. ruler."

Ye Huaiyun really hadn't heard Chu Tingyun mention this matter, he flipped through the memorial carefully, and finally figured out the reason.

On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Tingyun arrested people under his order.

And the person to be arrested is the dandy from the family who forcibly occupied the private school in the west of the city and beat up the teacher.

At that time, Chu Tingyun heard that the man was having fun in the Goulan courtyard, so he took the shadow guard's private clothes to handle the case.

Just when he was about to break through the door, suddenly a delicate woman wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, calling out to you son over and over again.

Chu Tingyun already hated being touched by others, and now that he was handling the case, he was afraid that the dude would take the opportunity and run away.So after several sarcastic warnings, the woman still refused to let go, so she hit the woman's arm with the hilt of the Xuanyi sword, shaking her away.

Behind the woman was the stairs, and when he hit her hard, she immediately fell backwards and rolled down the stairs.

Die on the spot.

Because of Chu Tingyun's status as General Chu Tingyun, the old lady of Goulan Courtyard never dared to report to the official.But the girl in the courtyard occasionally made a few remarks in front of the benefactor, and this matter naturally spread.

Ye Huaiyun looked at the memorial with an unhappy expression.

In his heart, he didn't believe that Chu Tingyun would kill people indiscriminately, so he could only ask Chen Bogong to step down and ask Chu Tingyun carefully.

When Ye Huaiyun opened the entrance to the secret passage, Chu Tingyun was leaning sideways on the stone wall, and the first sentence he said was: "I didn't kill her."

It was shady in the secret passage, so Ye Huaiyun handed him the freshly poured hot tea that the waiter had just brought up, "I naturally believe that you didn't kill her, but what's going on here." He had to understand it clearly before he could Send someone to investigate, and then retract the confession for Chu Tingyun.

Chu Tingyun pointed at the content written in the memorial, and lightly traced line after line with his fingertips, as if he had no objection to those descriptions.

Until his finger stopped on the last page, Ye Huaiyun looked there, and there were the words "rolling down the stairs".

"It's good that I pushed her." Chu Tingyun said, "But that person didn't fall down the stairs at all."

He remembered clearly that at that moment he used the Xuanyi sword to slap the girl's arm that was entangled with him, and the girl immediately fell to the ground.

"On the ground?" Ye Huaiyun asked back.

"Yes." Chu Tingyun was very sure that it was the ground.

Because the girl still refused to give up after falling to the ground, she pretentiously tore off a corner of the clothes on her shoulders, and said with tears that the guest officer was so cruel.

Chu Tingyun happened to catch a glimpse of her exposed white shoulders from the corner of his eyes, with a look of disdain on his face, he opened the door and entered the room where the dude was.

After arresting the man, Chu Tingyun didn't bother to go through the main entrance again, so he threw a piece of silver on the table, grabbed the dude by his collar and jumped out of the window.

According to him, the girl was absolutely safe, at least until he entered the room.

Ye Huaiyun touched his chin. If so, someone must be lying.

He glanced at the memorials on the imperial table, most of them had already been reviewed, and he was really not too busy, so he proposed to go to the Goulan Courtyard with Chu Tingyun again to find out what happened that day.

Ye Huaiyun took out the disguise supplies packed in a brocade box on the museum shelf, and began to make preparations for the palace.

Chu Tingyun grabbed his hand, "Don't worry."

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Ye Huaiyun asked.He felt that what he was most anxious about in terms of political affairs at hand was that Chu Tingyun was framed and impeached.

But the client was leisurely, with his thumb gently scratching back and forth on the back of his hand, provoking half hot and half itchy, "That kind of place is only lively at night. If you go during the day, it will seem..."

This time Ye Huaiyun didn't ask why anymore. Although he lived in the palace for a long time, he knew what Goulan Courtyard was.He covered Chu Tingyun's mouth, for fear that he might say something surprising.

Chu Tingyun held the teacup in his hand, "..."

He wants tea.

At night, the sky was drizzling with drizzle.

The two of them walked under the misty rain with oil-paper umbrellas, and the dim yellow lanterns hanging in front of several shops illuminated the empty long street and the continuous rain.

There are very few people still wandering outside at this hour, not to mention the rainy weather, only the watchmen are wearing coir raincoats, and they are still doing the watch again and again.When the sound of the watch is far away, the patter of drizzle on the oil-paper umbrella is very loud, until you step into the noisy fireworks.

The girls who hang out in the romantic scene are the best at watching people order food. Although Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun changed their appearances before they left the palace, they were still unparalleled in appearance, which attracted several girls to hold hands and shoulders.

Ye Huaiyun tried his best to restrain his disgust, not to show it.

Chu Tingyun also tried his best to hold back the disgust in his heart, lightly lifted the hands of those people, and asked, "Where is Miss Liu Die?"

Liu Die was the name of the girl who was pushed away by Chu Tingyun.

As soon as he said this, the faces of the people around him froze instantly.Seeing this, Chu Tingyun deliberately raised his voice, "Where is Liu Die? I want to see Liu Die!"

This shout really attracted the old lady, she apologized to them with a smile on her face: "You two young masters, it is not convenient for Liu Die to see guests today, the rest of the girls in our building are also very good."

"It's inconvenient to see guests?" Chu Tingyun rolled the words between his lips, as if thinking about it, and after a while, he took out two gold leaves and put them in the old mother's hand and said, "Mother, tell me the truth , Did something happen to Liu Die? I was on my way back to the capital, and I heard that Liu Die... is it true?"

The old nanny's eyes fell on his face, and Chu Tingyun deliberately disguised himself as that dude tonight, so he let her look at him calmly.

"Masters, take a step to talk." The old mother confirmed that he was the benefactor who often came here to look for Miss Liu Die, lowered her voice, and invited the two to the backyard.

"Master is a frequent visitor to reward Liu Die, so I won't hide it from you." The old mother sighed, "Liu Die is indeed..."

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Ye Huaiyun found an excuse: "That General Chu and I are also colleagues, and we have some friendship on weekdays. As far as I know, that General Chu is not a reckless person. Nah."

The old mother gave him a strange look, as if she had doubts about his words, and said mockingly: "The girl in our building saw with her own eyes that General Chu jumped downstairs while holding this master's collar."

"Is this called recklessness?"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

The two of them listened to the old nanny's talk intermittently for a long time, and they only learned from her mouth that when several girls passed by the corridor that day, they saw Liu Die entangled with Chu Tingyun.Then, after walking a few steps forward, Liu Die screamed, rolled down the stairs, and fell down with her brains overflowing.

No matter how much else there is, there is nothing left.

The two of them left the Goulan courtyard, which was rich in fragrance and powder. The spring rain was still falling outside, and the people under the oil-paper umbrella were thoughtful.

Ye Huaiyun: "You..."

Chu Tingyun: "You..."

Speaking almost at the same time, Ye Huaiyun said: "You speak first."

Chu Tingyun then looked at him and said: "You just said that General Chu is not a reckless person, so according to what you see, what kind of person is he?"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

what is this?Interested in hearing people judge you?

Ye Huaiyun smiled, and said intentionally: "It's just an expedient term used in cliche, why do you take it seriously?"

"I just took it seriously." Chu Tingyun pursued him relentlessly, as if he was catching on to this question and refused to let go, "Young master, tell me quickly, from what you can see, what kind of person he is."

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Good guy."
