Oriole Line

Sheng saw that although Pu Chen was courteous and thoughtful, and looked like a general of the three armies, but there was a hint of absent-mindedness between his brows, so he quietly asked Tang Yu beside him: "The young master is in Jiankang, do you have any worries? "

Tang Yu has no city in his heart, and he is feasting. He wiped the oil on his mouth and said: "Where can it be? The young master is in Jiankang. It is a foresight, and he will kill the Quartet, not to mention how beautiful it is." In the end, he described the matter of rescue in Chaoyang Palace vividly and vividly.

Mr. Wei felt relieved and thought, after all, Pu Chen is old enough to be able to take charge of himself.That night, Pu Chen suddenly called Tang Yu over when he was settling down. He stopped talking for a while, but still pretended to be casual and said: "Bring that civet cat to my room."

"Young master, don't you hate the sound when you sleep? It's fine when you're in Jiankang, how come you go back to Wuchang..." Tang Yu babbled, and he was naturally a little cautious. He also liked the civet cat It's tight, I didn't have a chance to get close to it when I was in Jiankang, and I thought that when I returned to Wuchang, the young master didn't have time to take care of it, and I was thinking of keeping the civet cat in my room, but Pu Chen remembered it clearly.

"Stop talking nonsense." Pu Chen was too lazy to break up with Tang Yu.

Tang Yu stuck out his tongue, and there was nothing he could do with the young master's attitude, so he had to resign himself to going back to the house to hug the civet cat.The civet cat was exhausted all the way, and was sleeping soundly at the moment. Being hugged by Tang Yu, he was naturally very dissatisfied. .After running like this, he almost bumped into someone in the dark, and it turned out to be Mr. Wei.Tang Yu quickly said "Mr. forgive me" a few times.Mr. Wei looked at the civet cat in Tang Yu's hand, thinking about Tang Yu's youthful nature, and admonished him casually: "I haven't been in shape all day long, and I've raised a cat!"

Tang Yu argued: "This is the young master's cat, and it will be kept in the young master's house."

Now it's Mr. Wei's turn to be stunned. Pu Chen watched him grow up. He practiced literature and martial arts every day and never got tired. When did he get this habit of teasing cats and walking dogs?His complexion darkened, and he said sharply: "He has heavy military duties this time, how can you force him to do such irresponsible things?"

Tang Yu knew Mr. Wei's status well, so he quickly knelt down and said, "It's not me, but the young master wanted to raise it himself. Originally, this cat was..."

"Tang Yu." Pu Chen's voice suddenly came from behind, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Tang Yu glanced at his young master's face, then at Mr. Wei who was blowing his beard and staring, and shut his mouth wisely.

Pu Chen saluted Mr. Wei respectfully, walked up to Tang Yu, and took the civet cat gently.The cat was showing its teeth and claws at Tang Yu just now, but now it is very obedient in Pu Chen's arms, with its head resting in Pu Chen's arms, and its tail gently sweeping Pu Chen's chest.

Mr. Wei said: "You are now the Patriarch of the Pu family, and you have suddenly attacked the military power of 10,000+ in the four prefectures. Right now, there are a lot of military affairs, so it's better not to raise such playthings to distract you."

"What Mr. Wei said is true. I will start to deal with the military affairs of the four states from tomorrow, and I will not slack off. Thank you for reminding me." Puchen paused, stroking the cat in his hand, "It's just that this civet cat is very important to me. It's not a plaything, it's with me..." Pu Chen paused, as if he was searching for the right words, and said after holding back for a while, "It's quite a predestined relationship." After saying that, he saluted Mr. Wei and turned back Room.

Mr. Wei, who stayed where he was, was greatly surprised, and asked Tang Yu who was kneeling on the ground: "What is the origin of this civet cat?"

Tang Yu remembered the wink the young master gave him before he left, so he could only keep his mouth shut and said, "Just... pick it up casually."

Mr. Wei sighed, shook his head and left.

Since then, Pu Chen has worked hard every day, as he said, starting at Mao and sleeping at Hai. In addition to practicing literature and martial arts as usual, he also allocates most of the day to handle military affairs.Although he grew up in Wuchang, he was only a major general before, and he was not very familiar with the military affairs of his father's generals and the four prefectures of Yizhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou.After he came back this time, he worked hard every day, and regularly went to patrol the states and counties under his jurisdiction to understand the terrain and army deployment in various places. He was quite relieved that there was no such thing as playing with things that Mr. Wei was worried about.

This day, it was afternoon.Pu Chen took a nap for half an hour as usual, Tang Yu went to call him on time, and happened to meet Mr. Wei at the door.

Tang Yu hurriedly said: "Mr. also came to find the young master?"

Mr. Wei glared at him, and taught, "How many times have I told you that now you can't be called 'Young Master', you should be called 'Patriarch', and you should be called 'Big Sima' and 'Great General' outside."

Tang Yu stuck out his tongue and hurriedly said: "Yes, sir, what I said is that I didn't think carefully." For the past few months, Pu Chen has grown rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye every day to become an armed force capable of succeeding his father handsome.He joked less and less with Tang Yu, and the old days of hanging out with sergeants no longer existed.What everyone saw was the Patriarch, Sima, and General who went to bed at midnight every day and got up before dawn, and behaved more and more like Puyang.To be honest, sometimes Tang Yu misses the time when Pu Chen was still the young master, at least at that time they could joke around unscrupulously, just like in the General’s Mansion in Jiankang at that time, Pu Chen seemed to like to joke especially, especially Wen Tao When we were here, Pu Chen was always in an inexplicably cheerful mood.

Just as Tang Yu's thoughts drifted to Wen Tao's place, he heard an extremely gentle "Tao Tao" in Pu Chen's room.

Because I am used to seeing Pu Chen's majesty, this "tao tao" came out, sweet and gentle, Tang Yu's jaw was about to drop in shock, he turned his head and looked at Mr. Wei who was confused and thought he had an auditory hallucination.

"Is there anyone in the owner's room?" Mr. Wei stared at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu waved his hands again and again: "No, no, how dare you."

Still in disbelief, Mr. Wei knocked on the door, and Puchen opened it energetically. Mr. Wei scanned the room, but there was indeed no one there, only the civet cat strutted on Puchen's couch, seeing someone coming in, Its hair was blown all over, and it yelled "meow", as if accusing its territory of being violated.

Mr. Wei thought back on Pu Chen's tone, and felt that it was really unusual, so he asked tentatively, "Who is the Patriarch calling?"

Pu Chen looked puzzled and said: "No. Why do you come here to ask, sir?"

Tang Yu looked at the civet cat, blessed to the heart, his eyes rolled and said: "Is the owner calling this cat? Could it be that the owner named the civet cat?"

Pu Chen's expression was a little awkward for a moment, but Mr. Wei didn't dare to make a mistake here, and said with a normal expression: "Call me whatever you want."

Mr. Wei had been very strict with Pu Chen since he was a child, and seeing that he was just a civet cat, he stopped asking questions.On the contrary, Tang Yu's eyeballs were still rolling, apparently not convinced by Pu Chen.

"What's the matter here, sir?" Pu Chen asked.

Only then did Mr. Wei think of the business, and took out an urgent military report from his sleeve: "The Liangzhou military report just received, please read it, the owner."

Pu Chen opened the military newspaper, only glanced at it, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Tang Yu knew his master's temper well, and he knew something big had happened at a glance, and asked, "How?"

Putting down the letter, Pu Chen said with a serious expression, "Gao You, the prefect of Liangzhou, lowered Beiyan."

27, 27.

Guangling Academy.

It has been several months since Wen Tao returned to Guangling.But from the day he returned to Guangling, Qi Dai never saw him again.

Wen Tao came from a poor family, and he didn't have his own house in Guangling Academy, so he usually stayed in the children's room, but Qi Dai used to invite him to cook tea, play chess, and chat in his small house in the middle of the lake. When it was late, he stayed in Qi Dai's guest room for a while, and lived a fairy-like life.

At this moment, Wen Tao is standing by the bank of the White Horse Lake, looking at the small courtyard in the middle of the lake. He knows that Qi Dai has been inside, but he has never seen anyone since the collapse of the Qi family.Wen Tao would walk across the trestle bridge on the lake every day, and occasionally he could hear the sound of Qi Dai’s piano from the small house in the middle of the lake. .Wen Tao felt sad. Although Qi Dai never had the intention of becoming an official and rarely set foot in Jiankang, he was from the Qi family after all. What he lost in the Chaoyang palace change was his father, his elder brother, and his flesh and blood. connected family.

Wen Tao stopped outside Qi Dai's house for a long time, until the sound of the piano stopped.He looked at the newly grown banana leaves in Qi Dai's small courtyard, green and verdant, and it was another year of spring... Wen Tao was startled, he remembered that he was still cooking with Qi Dai here last spring Tea, eating artemisia bamboo shoots, so many things have happened nowadays.He suddenly missed the little civet cat he had rescued in Jiankang, wondering if it was popular in Wuchang, and if the person who took care of it was all right.

With a creak, the door suddenly opened.It was Qi Dai's boy who came to open the door, and the boy said in a childish voice, "Sir, please let me in."

"Oh? How does he know I'm outside?" Wen Tao was puzzled.

"Sir, he said he heard the young master's footsteps." The boy made a bow and led Wen Tao in.

"Sir is in the piano room." The boy led Wen Tao to the bamboo building, and pointed to the room on the second floor.Wen Tao nodded slightly, and walked into the bamboo building.Everything remained the same, except that the incense burner that Qi Dai had to burn every day was no longer used, and it was placed on the table in a deserted place, covered with a layer of incense ash.He walked up the stairs slowly, stepping on the bamboo ladder, making a slight sound.In front of the window lattice, Qi Dai was sitting by the window, with his hair untied and loosely draped. He was wearing a white hemp gown, which looked like a mourning gown, but also like what he usually wears.He didn't look back, just plucked the strings lightly with his hand, and said softly: "Ah Ji, you
