Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Chu Heng looked up at him with surprise in his eyes: "Young Master Lu already knows..."

Lu Zheyu gave a soft "hmm", and said again: "Yun Jing didn't bring you back to Xingcheng, that's why."

When Shi Yunjing was mentioned again, Lu Zheyu sighed inwardly.Shi Yunjing knew that it would be difficult for him and Lu Zheyu to meet again in the future, so he couldn't bear to let both Chu Heng and Yan Ling suffer like this, so he stayed in Chen Guo.

Lu Zheyu sighed, and smiled helplessly: "Your master, you seem to be informal on weekdays, but you are actually very careful."

He turned around and looked at Chu Heng, and asked, "How, are you willing to work as an errand in the Yan Mansion? In short, I will not take you to the front line."

Chu Heng took a step back and knelt down on one knee: "I thank you, Young Master, for your kindness."

Lu Zheyu cast a glance at him and said, "Get up."

Chu Heng stood up, Lu Zheyu turned sideways, and stood with his hands behind his back: "My colleague has been in poor health since he was a child. You will be by his side in the future and take care of him." He paused, and after a while He also said, "He is still very strong, and he doesn't like to be served by others around him. If you go, he doesn't have to do everything by himself."

"...The subordinate obeys."

The first day of May.Dingyuan army camp.

Today's wind is still a little bit stronger, and the flags are fluttering.There has always been a lot of sand in the suburbs, and when the wind blows, it is almost blinding.

The expedition is imminent, and [-] soldiers have been assembled.Wearing black light armor, Lu Zheyu stood in front of the soldiers and said loudly.

"Beidi violated the border of the Chen Dynasty, did not abide by the public law, and practiced tricks and quarrels from the other side. The situation is difficult to give to Gurong. Now, our army is assembled here to fight in Lizhou, wipe out the disaster, straighten the army, and return the border. Taiping. Are you willing to fight with me?"

All the generals knelt down on one knee, screaming like a tsunami:

"Only General Lu follows the lead!"

Lu Zheyu slightly raised his hand, and all the soldiers stood up.He looked up at the sun, it was almost noon, and it was time for departure.

Feng Yang came forward and bowed his hands: "General, it's time to go."

Lu Zheyu: "Let's go."

Just as the horn was about to sound, at this moment, a war horse neighed suddenly.Lu Zheyu looked over, and immediately straddled another person with a tall head, and rode the horse into the gate.

Lu Zheyu raised his eyes and glanced at the gate, waiting to see who was coming, his heart moved slightly.

All the soldiers knelt down on one knee again, and said loudly, "See Shuai Lu."

Feng Yang smiled knowingly: "Let me just say, the young master is about to go to war today, how could Lord Hou not come to see him off?"

After Lu Chi got off the horse, Lu Zheyu came over, bowed and cupped his fists in a salute: "Father."

Lu Chi only wore ordinary clothes, looked at him quietly, and said in a flat voice, "The barbarians are cunning, and they use soldiers insidiously and cunningly. When you are fighting with them, you should think more about everything."

The wind and sand blew on Lu Zheyu's face, messing up his temple hair, he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Zheyu wrote it down."

Lu Chi: "It's the first time you're leading an army alone, you should discuss with Feng Yang more often, and don't make rash decisions."

Lu Zheyu: "Yes."

Feng Yang came forward and smiled: "Master Hou, don't worry, there will be a future, Master Hou doesn't have to worry about your son's safety."

"When did the old man worry about his safety?" Lu Chi glanced at him indifferently, "The old man only cares about whether he can put down the chaos and restore the peace of Lizhou."

Feng Yang wanted to laugh, but he had no choice but to follow his master: "Yes, Master Hou is right."

Lu Zheyu lowered his eyes and said softly: "Father, don't worry, Zheyu will definitely be able to defeat the enemy within three months."

Lu Chi turned his eyes away and looked towards the sky: "Don't be brave, attacking the heart is the best."

Lu Zheyu: "Yes."

Feng Yang said in a muffled voice: "Master Hou, the young master has received the imperial decree, and he cannot return to Beijing without summons. I really don't know when I will be able to come back after this trip. Master Hou didn't even say a word of concern..."

Lu Zheyu glanced at him and motioned him to back down.Feng Yang curled his lips, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Lu Zheyu: "It's time for the army to set off, so there's no need to send it off."

"Yeah." Lu Chi responded softly.

The subordinates brought the horse. Lu Zheyu put on his helmet and was about to get on the horse when he heard Lu Chi stop him again.

"Zheyu."

Lu Zheyu paused.

Lu Chi: "Be careful in everything and put your own safety first."

Lu Zheyu turned around, bowed his head and cupped his fists, so that Lu Chi couldn't see his expression.

"There is one more thing, I will have time to thank my father in the future."

Lu Chi frowned: "What's the matter?"

Lu Zheyu: "That day I went to the palace to ask His Majesty to take back the will to grant the marriage. Thank you father for inviting Taifu Yan to rescue me."

Lu Chi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.He still couldn't hold back when he told the matter in front of the soldiers in this barracks.Lu Chi waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

Lu Zheyu got on his horse, raised his whip, and the horn blew. Thousands of soldiers followed the general and galloped in the direction of Lizhou.

The wind seemed to die.

The banners planted on the gate also fell silent.

Lu Chi stood in this all-too-familiar military camp with his hands behind his back, without moving for a long time.Until the army was far away, the raised sand and dust fluttered to the ground again, and everything was silent.

The sun was shining brightly, and on a small path in the mountains, two people were riding horses one behind the other. The person in front trusted the horse freely and was very leisurely, while the person behind was sweating from the sun. Looking carefully, it was him. The huge burden on his back was to blame.

The man at the back wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Highness, the water is in front of us. After passing the water, we will be at the border of the state of Chu. Let's hurry up."

Shi Yunjing didn't even look at him, and said calmly: "What are you in a hurry for?"

Miao Xing was speechless: "Your Highness has bought so much rose dew, yet he refuses to ride in a carriage. Your subordinates are very tired."

Only then did Shi Yunjing look back at him, with a disgusted look on his face: "With this physical strength, is he worthy of being my king's subordinate?"

Miao Xing thought to himself, dare to let you try riding a horse with a dozen wine jars on your back, but Shi Yunjing spoke first: "If you think it's too heavy, bring it."

Miao Xing was startled, clutched his bag tightly and hurriedly said: "No, no, no...Your Highness, with a precious body, how could he be able to do this kind of work as a servant, I'd better carry it on his back..."

"You think this king will carry it for you?" Shi Yunjing glanced at him. "Bring me an altar, I'll drink it first, and I'll save you some weight."

Miao Xing: "..."

He was almost speechless.What did I do wrong to have such a master.

evening.On the outskirts of Yecheng.

The army marched to the outskirts of the city, and the word "Yecheng" was clearly engraved on the boundary marker. Lu Zheyu tightened the reins and stopped here suddenly.

Feng Yang drove his horse forward, stopped beside him and said, "My lord, it's getting late, do you want to camp here?"

Lu Zheyu didn't speak.He looked back, and there were few people passing by in the outskirts of the city, where the trees were lush and surrounded by mountains in the distance.

Going forward, you will leave Yecheng.

Once he stepped here, he was no longer in Yecheng.The imperial decree that he cannot go back to Beijing without a call will be stopped here from now on, and it will become a natural moat that cannot be passed.

What about Shi Yunjing, where is he now?He should have left Ye City long ago, but he didn't know if he was still in Chen State.

Thinking back to the past two years, he has been on the battlefield, served as a hostage, and now he is on his way to the border. However, the most memorable days are actually the time when he was a hostage in Chu State.

Will he be able to meet him again in this life?

Lu Zheyu looked back at the scenery of Yecheng for a long time, then said with a blank expression: "Go another twenty miles."

Feng Yang was startled, and responded with cupped fists, "Yes."

Lu Zheyu swung his whip and galloped away, followed closely by Dingyuan's cavalry.

at the same time.

By the banks of the Lushui River, Shi Yunjing was riding on a horse, holding an altar of rose dew in his hand, quietly watching the endlessly flowing river.

He knew that after crossing the shore, it was the state of Chu.

Seeing him sitting motionless on the horse, Miao Xing thought to himself that this little highness is probably used to staying in the palace and has never seen such a long river, so he is so engrossed in watching it now.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the red clouds were reflected on the surface of the Lishui River, sparkling.Shi Yunjing got off his horse, sat down by the river, and continued to drink his half altar of rose dew.

Seeing this, Miao Xing also dismounted together, took off his heavy burden, wiped the sweat from his temples, and said, "Your Highness, the sun is already setting, we have to hurry to the post."

Shi Yunjing was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "After crossing this river, you will be Chu State."

Miao Xing: "Yes, what's the matter, Your Highness?"

Shi Yunjing: "When I return to Chu State, I will never see him again."

"Him?" Miao Xing was puzzled for a moment before suddenly realizing. "Your Highness is talking about Mr. Lu."

Shi Yunjing didn't speak.Miao Xing thought for a while, and persuaded: "Your Highness is a person who wants to do great things, how can you be limited by the love of your children?"

"You don't have anyone you like," Shi Yunjing said casually. "So I don't understand."

Miao Xing: "..."

Shi Yunjing just sat by the river, drinking alone.Miao Xing was helpless, so he could only sit here with his master, watching him sad and sad.

Miao Xing sighed, and comforted him: "In the future, His Highness will win the position, and he will have whatever he wants, and a mere Mr. Lu is naturally not a problem." He looked around, and there was no one in the wilderness anyway, so He moved to Shi Yunjing's side, and said quietly, "If you think about it in the long term, after your Highness ascends the throne, you will personally conquer and unite Chen and Chu. It would be a good idea to let Mr. Lu be the queen at that time."

Shi Yunjing was startled, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.But he still shook his head and rejected his proposal: "I got his people but not his heart. This is not what this king wants to see."

Miao Xing stroked his forehead.He just wanted to quickly cross the river and enter the city to find a post station to settle down. Why is it so difficult?

Seeing his master sitting by the river and thinking about life, Miao Xing couldn't help but curse in his heart.Children are really difficult to coax.It is said that seven and eight years old are the most annoying, and the elderly child next to him is probably seventeen or eighteen, and he is also annoying.

Alas, it's all because of Mr. Lu.

Shi Yunjing just silently stared at the sparkling light on the river, until the last ray of light disappeared into the sky, and the sky completely darkened, then he stood up, stepped on the stirrup, got on the horse, and then left in the dust.

After passing the wet water, he never looked back.

[The author has something to say: When Yun Jing was an advanced child, she was disliked by her wife and sister, not to mention her father and elder brother.Now even his subordinates despise him, it's really miserable. 】
