All rivers and mountains are safe

Suddenly, a strange bell sounded in the Huaxing Hall, as if to urge the soul, Lu Chengjing's pupils shrank greatly, he ignored the two kneeling in front of him, hurriedly lifted the white cloth at the door, and ran into the hall.

Perhaps Lu Chengjing didn't care at all whether it was Lu Qingshi who did Duller's appointment for the exam or whether Shen Mingan ordered Lu Qingshi to do it. Lu Chengjing had been scruples about him in the first place, but this time Shen Mingan's refusal to grant a marriage angered Lu Chengjing again.

He just lacked an opportunity to attack Shen Mingan, and Lu Qingshi brought this opportunity to Lu Chengjing.

"...Sir." Lu Qingshi tugged at Shen Mingan's sleeves like he made a mistake when he was a child, squatted on the ground trying to help him up, apologized to him and said, "I'm sorry."

Shen Mingan shook off him and pulled back his sleeves, covered his shoulders and stood up from the ground with difficulty.

"I'm sorry sir, I just... I was just, I was just too scared, I was afraid that my father would scold me and punish me, I just said that because I was insane." Lu Qingshi sat on the ground in a daze Looking at Shen Ming'an, he suddenly hugged Shen Ming'an's leg, raised his head like a child, and cried to him, "Nurse, she treats me really well, but I shouldn't find someone to take the exam for Du Le , I shouldn't have shifted the responsibility to you just now, I'm sorry sir, I know I was wrong."

"Your Highness, get up."

Shen Mingan has never been so disappointed with Lu Qingshi for a moment, the disappointment accumulated bit by bit, and cut off the friendship between him and Lu Qingshi today, Shen Mingan's eyes dropped and fell on him, his eyes were full of alienation He said coldly, "I'm no longer a tutor, nor is your Highness's husband. If your Highness has anything to do in the future, you don't have to come to me."

As he spoke, he withdrew his legs, ignored Lu Qingshi, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Lu Qingshi cried and called him Mr. behind him, Shen Mingan paused, but did not stop.

After Lu Ciheng came out of Shen Ming'an's mansion, he went to Yang's mansion.

He was called over by the queen yesterday with Lu Qingshi, and was forced to stay overnight in the palace. The next day, he listened to the little maid in the palace gossip about the marriage between Shen Mingan and Yang Che's daughter, and said that Shen Mingan had just died. After being married by the emperor, she went to Yang's mansion late at night and stayed in Yang's mansion for one night. She was afraid that the two were in love and a good thing was about to happen.

Lu Ciheng immediately went to Shen's mansion to talk to Shen Ming'an about those foolish words, as if someone had poured vinegar on his head.

After leaving Shen's mansion and being blown by the cold wind, thinking of Shen Ming'an's pale face, he felt some regret, but when thinking of how disgusting Shen Ming'an was to the point of retching and refusing to let himself touch him, he felt that he deserved it.

Lu Ciheng wanted to go to Yang Che, at least to persuade Yang Che not to marry his daughter to Shen Mingan, but he never expected that when he arrived at Yang's residence, Yang Che and Mrs. Yang were not there, and only saw their daughter Yang Yi.

Yang Yi is Yang Che's only daughter. She is a teenage girl wearing a goose-yellow skirt, with almond eyes and a round face. Generally introverted, not afraid of strangers at all.

Yang Yi met Lu Ciheng for the first time and knew that he was the third prince, so she was still not polite to him: "Father and mother went to the palace to meet the emperor, there is no tea at home, yesterday father used a teacup to drink and was beaten by mother." After finding out, my mother hid all the teacups at home, so if you want to wait, just wait."

Lu Ciheng didn't bother to argue with her, "What are General Yang and the others going to see the emperor for?"

"I don't know that."

Lu Ciheng had nothing to say to a little girl. He was sitting in the lobby waiting, while Yang Yi's dark eyes kept looking in his direction casually.

It was almost dusk when Yang Che and Mrs. Yang came back, and Lu Ciheng waited for nearly two hours, anxiously waiting.

Yang Che was helped in by Mrs. Yang, and said with a sad face: "The emperor has become like this now, the Huaxing Palace is full of smog, I feel horrible just looking at it."

"No matter how you say it, the emperor has agreed to us." Madam Yang said: "The salary of eating the emperor, the matter of being loyal to the emperor, isn't this what you often say?"

Yang Che shook his head and sighed as he entered the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Ciheng, "Why did the third prince come here, but what good horse did he find?"

"You're still thinking about the horse!" Mrs. Yang slapped the back of his head, and she let go of his hand, "Do you still think about this foot?"

Lu Ciheng was good at riding and shooting. In order to make friends with Yang Che, he often came to his mansion to discuss equestrianism with him. He also gave him a few thousand-mile horses, so that when Yang Che saw him, he thought he was talking about horses. this one.

Yang Che had an injury on his foot, and was patted by his wife. He covered his head and said "Ouch", and couldn't stand for a while. Lu Ciheng quickly reached out to help him, "Of course there are good horses. Recently, there is a horse with a thin head and a tall neck. The bloody horse, I will send it to the general in a few days, but I have something else to tell the general when I come today."

Supported by him, Yang Che walked forward with the other hand on the arm of the chair. After helping him onto the chair, Lu Ciheng sat down on the mahogany chair on the other side.

Madam Yang stood in front of Yang Yi with her back to them, and said in a low voice, "Go in, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what are you doing staring at him?"

"Mother." Yang Yi poked his head out from behind her, "That one in black looks really good-looking."

Yang Che turned his head and took a meaningful look at his daughter and Li Xingyuan standing behind Lu Ciheng, with a smile in his eyes, he said majesticly: "Yi'er, listen to your mother, go back to the house quickly. "

Reluctantly, Yang Yi was pushed in by Mrs. Yang, and Li Xingyuan, who was always serious and unsmiling, lost sight of her in a panic. Although he was still standing coldly with his sword in his arms, his ears turned red unknowingly.

"General."

Lu Ciheng's voice made Yang Che look away, he cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Third Prince, tell me what you say."

Lu Ciheng didn't know what position he should take to speak, he considered for a while and said, "I came here today to let the general think about Miss Yang's marriage again."

"Don't think about it, this is what my wife and I went to talk to the emperor just now." Yang Che said: "Yesterday Taifu Shen came to me and said that he wanted to cancel the marriage, and I happened to think the same way, so I went to talk to the emperor today, and the emperor acquiesced gone."

"Teacher Shen came to the Yang Mansion yesterday... to cancel the marriage offer?" Lu Ciheng was lost for a moment, "Then why did he stay overnight last night?"

"I invited him to stay overnight. I thought he was not in good spirits. It was getting late and it was raining heavily outside, so I invited him to stay for one night."

Shen Ming'an has indeed been in a bad mood during this period of time. On the way back to Shangjing from Dongyang Village, he was often so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Lu Ciheng went to look for him in the morning and saw his hands on his lower abdomen, and his eyes never looked at him. He thought he was thinking about Ms. Yang with the soft expression before, and suddenly felt that his reason was burned out.

Lu Ciheng's words were thoughtless, he knew Shen Ming'an too well, and he knew what he couldn't stand, so he picked the most hurtful words to provoke him.

In just a few words, Shen Mingan's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't even breathe.

Lu Ciheng regretted it when he thought of his appearance. He changed his face, and wanted to stand up and say goodbye to Yang Che, but before he could speak, Yang Che patted him on the shoulder twice.

There was praise and admiration in Yang Che's tone, "The third prince is so devoted to Taifu Shen, it's not in vain that he came to me several times in the past and asked me to find someone to take care of you in the army."

"What did you say?" Lu Ciheng stood up abruptly, with a difficult expression on his face, and said in disbelief: "Didn't he propose to the emperor to let me go to the northwest because he wanted to dismiss me? How could he find someone in the army?" take care of me?"

"It was suggested by him." His reaction was too big, and Yang Che gave him a strange look, "At that time, you were impeached in front of the emperor by recruiting officials in the court, and the emperor wanted to kill you. After kneeling and begging all night, the emperor let go of his mouth and did not send you to prison, but issued an imperial decree to let you go to the northwest with the army."

Yang Che frowned, "At that time, Taifu Shen came to me to discuss countermeasures. I originally told him to let you go to the southwest. The fighting in the southwest is not so serious and not as dangerous as the northwest. After some weighing, he still said that it would be better to let you go to the Northwest, but he was afraid that you would be in danger, and he didn't know anyone in the army, so he asked me to find someone in the Northwest Army to protect you more, I thought you knew. "

"I don't know...he never told me." Lu Ciheng's throat was sore, he opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to speak, "I, I still treated him that way."

Shen Mingan tried his best to protect him wholeheartedly, but he pinched Shen Mingan by the neck and pressed him against the palace pillar to question him.

"Because it's not easy to reveal your identity to others. At that time, I asked my subordinates to look for people to take care of you. They were all people who were in the same army as you. I don't have much impression of the others. There is a corps leader named Liu who doesn't know. Do you still remember? He saved the silver for his wife and daughter and agreed.” Yang Che paused, then sighed, “I gave him some silver taels every month. After he died in battle, I just thought about it.” Give more money to take care of his wife and daughter, and sent people to Jiangzhou to find out that his wife and daughter starved to death in the famine more than ten years ago."

"Remember……"

How could he not remember that since he arrived in the Northwest, Wuchang Liu treated him very well, he had a stubborn temper, and the captain punished him for not letting him eat, and he really refused to eat for a few days. It was Wuchang Liu who came to persuade him He secretly distributed dry food to him; he was whipped, and it was Wuchang Liu who applied the medicine for him; even in the end, Wuchang Liu lost his life because he blocked an arrow for him.

But Lu Ciheng always thought that Wuchang Liu was a good person, but he didn't know that he was entrusted by others to take care of him in every possible way.

"Actually, it's the same as joining the army, and the southwest is better, but there are mainly some remnants of Daxia running around in the southwest. Taifu Shen said that no matter what, you can't let you go to fight Daxia..."

Lu Ciheng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped, and there was a sharp pain in his chest. He was ashamed and regretful, his voice was stuck in his throat, and he said harshly: "Didn't Daxia be destroyed by us more than [-] years ago? Why? Can't you let me fight Daxia?"

"Isn't Concubine Mo from Daxia..." Yang Che suddenly stopped and didn't continue talking.

"Who is Concubine Mo?"

"He..." Yang Che's eyes flickered, and he suddenly started to look around and talk about him getting up, "I don't think it's too early, if the third prince has nothing to do, go back."
