comeback [rebirth]

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, the King of Chu quickly said a few words of haha ​​when he saw this, and said a few words with Yan Xuan.

When the banquet was over, the King of Chu simply stepped down from his seat and asked everyone to sit around a table.I don't know whether it's because of the alcohol or the season, but this honest and honest prince also began to feel sad for the spring and autumn, talking endlessly about life in Chu, and how it compares with the Chang'an that he glanced at in his memory. .

On the surface they chatted happily, but poor Cen Yuan, who smelled the peach wine from a closer distance, could not taste it for himself.

·

In the end, King Chu drank a lot, but he was still sober. Thinking of the exhaustion of the two boats and cars, he didn't stay with them for too long, and he left the banquet after a while.

After Cen Yuan and the others left, Princess Chu took the prince back to the bedroom and coaxed him to sleep.The King of Chu happily watched the backs of the mother and son go away, rubbed his round belly, and walked towards the study with a turn of his footsteps.

As soon as he entered the door, before he could light the lamp, someone called out in the darkness: "My lord."

"Hmm..." King Chu lazily replied, and lit the candlestick on the desk.

The flames sprang up suddenly, reflecting his smiling and drunken face.

He sat on the wooden chair and leaned back, his eyes almost narrowed into two lines, like a Maitreya Buddha.

The figure hidden in the darkness said: "I never expected that the imperial court is actually the second prince sent by the court."

"Then who do you want?" King Chu yawned, "Is it the fourth prince who hangs around romantic places all day, or the third prince who spends all day playing with calligraphy and painting and obsessing over story books?"

The figure fell silent, but what he thought in his heart was: half a catty.

"At the end of the day, you and I have already expected General Yan to come to Chang'an." King Chu said, "It's just..."

He didn't go on talking, but the figure also thought of what he said - but he didn't expect that Yan Xuan would marry the second prince, and they came to Chu Kingdom together.

The King of Chu looked sleepy, closed his eyes and adjusted his voice, but the figure didn't dare to disturb him, so he didn't speak.

After a while, the King of Chu maintained his status quo and asked, "What happened to what I asked you to arrange before?"

The figure said: "Going back to the prince, everything has been arranged."

"Hmm..." The King of Chu responded, and remained silent for a while before opening his eyes again.

Only at this moment, all the heavy drunkenness in his eyes disappeared, and the honest and affectionate one night disappeared, and his eyes were mixed in the dim candlelight, bottomless.

He said nonchalantly: "Play by ear."

"Yes."

The school grounds in Danlin County are in the outskirts, that is, in the depths of the woods that Cen Yuan and the others passed through on the first day they arrived in Danlin.It is also covered by the surrounding forests, so if no one leads the way, it is difficult to go deep.

A few days later, Yan Xuan found an opportunity and told the King of Chu that he wanted to see the situation of conscription.In the early morning of the next day, Captain Li Ping and Captain Li waited early in the front hall of Changyou Mansion, and waited for about two incense sticks before Yan Xuan came.

"Sorry for the long wait." Yan Xuan apologized as soon as she entered the door.

"It's okay, I came down early." Although Li Ping was about the same age as Yan Hexuan and was Yan Xuan's elder, he still made a bigger salute than him.As a result, before his body could fully straighten up, his eyes fell on the opponent's wristband.

Because he was going to the school grounds, Yan Xuan was wearing a dark blue suit today, with wrist guards on his sleeves, but for some reason, a rope on his right wrist guard was torn apart.

Yan Xuan followed the other person's gaze and narrowed his eyes: "..."

——Before going out just now, he routinely went to the bed to take a look. After all, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently. If he leaves, that Highness may have to throw the quilt back into his arms again.

But when he passed by, he saw that the quilt was still covered, but he frowned for some reason.

Yan Xuan guessed that the other party might have had a nightmare, so she stretched out her hand and stroked it with her fingertips, but who knew that the sleeping person seemed to have found a floating boat, and directly grabbed his hand.

I don't know what the other party dreamed about, the force was quite strong, and he barely let go after coaxing him in a low voice for a while, which wasted some time.As for the rope on the wristband, it was probably accidentally torn apart at that time, and he was in a hurry to come to the front hall, so he didn't pay attention.

Yan Xuan didn't say anything, but tied the knot again with one hand, and said, "Li Duwei, let's go."

The latter didn't pay much attention, and retracted his gaze, and responded.

When I arrived at the school ground, it was Si time, which was the training time for the soldiers.

Chu State also has their own soldiers, but now they are all in another school.The place they went to was relatively small, and it was temporarily used as a place for selection and training.

Because of Yan Xuan's request in advance, soon after he arrived at the school, Li Ping handed him a list of those who passed the conscription selection. From the first April to the latest August, there was a list every month.

According to the normal time flow, after the list of the month is confirmed, it will be sent to Chang'an around the middle of the next month, and all the soldiers of the month will leave at the end of the month.

Before leaving Chang'an, Yan Xuan had already read the list from April to June, so at this time, he just went through it roughly, and confirmed that it was the same as what he received, so he focused on the list from July and August.

His eyes quickly swept over the listed names, and sometimes he heard the uniform voices of the soldiers, and he would raise his eyes to take a look.But when he saw the list for August, his speed slowed down a lot, and his fingers swiped over the names one by one.

It's just late August now, and the list for this August is already more than when the conscription started.

Standing beside him, Li Ping obviously grew a lot next year, but he still couldn't help feeling a sense of oppression from the young man in front of him who hadn't yet reached the crown. Pass.

And when Yan Xuan's fingertips rested next to certain names on the list, he even felt his heart stop.

——How could it be such a coincidence?

At this moment, Yan Xuan's deep voice called out: "Li Duwei."

"Master Yan."

Yan Xuan asked: "Are these the soldiers recruited in August?"

"Ah, yes." Li Ping secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he finally looked away from the roster, and also looked at the soldiers who were brandishing spears in front of them.

Yan Xuan handed back the name book in his hand to Li Ping, and asked, "Is the order of standing in line according to the name book?"

"Yes." Li Ping took over the list and said, "But what's the problem?"

"Nothing." Yan Xuan said, "Just take a look."

Although he said it casually, the aura he displayed seemed to be ready to go. Even those soldiers who had just started military training and hadn't even seen Chang'an could faintly feel it, and couldn't help but clenched their hands Spear, raise the spirit of twelve points.

But until the end, Yan Xuan just glanced over a few of them, and then nodded without saying anything, indicating that there was no problem.After that, he took a brief look around and left the school grounds with Li Ping.

When he got back to the busy area of ​​the county, Yan Xuan reined in his horse and stopped, saying: "I still have some private matters, so I won't bother Li Duwei to see them off."

Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Since Master Yan said so, then I will not bother you. If Master Yan still has questions in the future, you can come and ask me anytime."

"Captain Li, thank you." After Yan Xuan politely said the last sentence, she pulled the reins and walked in the direction of Changyou Mansion.

Li Ping still kept smiling and watched Yan Xuan's back go away. After a while, the smile slowly faded from his face.Then he put his legs between the horse's belly and stopped in front of a mansion after a stick of incense.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of birds remained, and a sparrow chirped and stopped on the plaque directly above the gate.In the middle of it, there is a word "Zhao" written in Xiaozhuan.

Li Ping knocked on the door, without saying anything, the housekeeper who opened the door welcomed him in.After looking left and right outside the door, the butler closed the door with a creak.
