Xiao Chiye said that he must return in three days, that is, he must return in three days. He rushed back to the city of Ibaraki late at night. The city gate had already been opened, and the torches illuminated the city wall brightly. The forbidden army pressed the prisoners and lined up to enter. Zhou Gui vacated the prison on the south side of Cizhou to the forbidden army to place these bandits, greeted Xiao Chiye, and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard! The soldiers are tired from suppressing the bandits, I have already prepared meals, and I also ask you to move. "
Xiao Chiye dismounted and said, "Your Excellency has a heart."
Zhou Gui walked in with Xiao Chiye, and said with a red face: "Looking at the military report of General Tantai, the bandits have been captured in the east and have been completely dispersed. Lei Jingzhe, who was chased by the Hou Ye himself, is really... It's really good!"
Xiao Chiye had already seen Shen Zechuan, and Shen Ze had also seen Xiao Chiye. Several guards followed behind Shen Zechuan, and Qiao Tianya was holding a lantern, obviously waiting for a long time. He also answered Zhou Gui's words and said, "I will have a detailed discussion with the adults in the study tomorrow morning about Lei Jingzhe."
Zhou Gui thought that Xiao Chiye was tired of running, and quickly nodded and said "OK". Kong Ling was more transparent than him. Although he was not used to it, he knew that it was in the way of others, so he made a random excuse and led Zhou Gui to leave.
Chen Yang stepped forward to lead the horse, and the guards at the back knelt on one knee together and said, "Congratulations to the triumphant master!"
Xiao Chiye untied the arm binding and the overlord bow, and said, "Get up. How long have you been waiting?"
Shen Zechuan took the lantern from Qiao Tianya's hand, turned around and walked down the street with Xiao Chiye, and said, "Just a moment."
Xiao Chiye pointed down, and lifted the lantern from Shen Zechuan's hand to his own. Shen Zechuan took the armband he had just untied and took it to his hand to look at it.
Seeing this, Xiao Chiye said: "This armband is an old thing from a few years ago, the iron is from Libei, and the leather rope on the top is something directly supplied by the Eight Great Camps. The last time I pulled the Bawang bow here. It's already worn out, I'll try to change it before returning to Li Bei."
The leather rope used to bind the arm was indeed frayed. Shen Zechuan hooked it a few times and said to Qiao Tianya, "Take it and put it there first."
Seeing that the two were walking in the wrong direction, Xiao Chiye couldn't help but look back at the location of the Zhou Mansion, then looked at Shen Zechuan, and said, "Are we moving out?"
"Of course he has to move out," Shen Zechuan stepped up the stairs, "it's not convenient to live in Zhou Gui's house all the time. He only had a grandson at the beginning of the year, and the whole family is crowded into two yards. I feel wronged. People were inquiring about the news, and they happened to see a house here."
While he was talking, the two had entered Kuan Alley, and the stone road led directly to the gate. Xiao Chiye looked at it and said, "It's next to the main street, and it's also close to Zhou Gui's place. It's convenient to discuss things and choose a good location."
"There is a disadvantage," Shen Zechuan took Xiao Chiye to the door and said, "It's too big, and our people add up, and we can't live in these yards."
Xiao Chiye saw that there was a horse-riding platform in front of the house, and the blue bricks were stacked. The wood-carved doorposts are rough, and the patterns are not as fine as those in Qedu and Juexi. Wujin's courtyard was really big for the two of them. The house that Qi Huilian had bestowed upon him when he was still the master of the East Palace was about the same size. Even if he added servants, he was dissatisfied with it. Besides, the two of them had no heirs or concubines. Shibi looked a little old, but the heavy eaves were made to be imposing and did not block the light, which was what Xiao Chiye liked.
"It's okay," Xiao Chiye took Shen Zechuan as he entered the door, "Let Master live in one hospital, you and I, and a few of their brothers in one hospital, and someone will come in later, and they will be divided according to their identities. The day when we can see the full."
"The backyard is empty," Shen Zechuan said, "but the backyard and the penthouse have to be filled with people. These yards are connected to each other. It's not good to leave people to look after them. They will be more troublesome when they are on shifts."
The two of them were discussing what to buy in the future, and Ding Tao, who was at the back, wrote down the road in the book and whispered: "Although this house is not as big as our palace in Qedu, it is too complicated. If I live in After that, it will take half a month just to recognize the way."
"I won't let you go out on a single mission, but you have to take it with you. What are you afraid of?" Qiao Tianya said, "This house is not cheap, and my master doesn't blink, he has a lot of money."
With a sad face, Ding Tao wrote a few more strokes and said, "You don't understand, you will get lost only if you have Brother Jin with you. Oh, Brother Jin is really strange. He is a scout in the army, checking things outside, taking those We can recognize unfamiliar places clearly. Once we go back to our own house, we can’t do it. Nine times out of ten, we have to turn to the wrong yard. When he was leaving Bei’s house, he often went elsewhere. Let me tell you, there is a man in the yard. The elder sister named Cuilan, the maid in front of Concubine Shizi, is very gentle, every time Brother Jin takes a wrong turn, she brings it back and gives me candy, anyway... Uh Kasen!"
Gujin held Ding Tao in one arm, stuffed his mouth tightly, looked at Qiao Tianya a few times, and said, "Don't listen to injustice."
"I haven't heard any 'indecent assault'," Qiao Tianya said with a surprised expression, applauding softly, "You nailed yourself to death with a hammer."
"...It's hard to grow bamboo here. I'll look for others in a few days." Xiao Chiye turned his head and said to them, "Which one will watch tonight?"
Chen Yang was always worried, and when he heard the words, he said, "I'm guarding by myself. These few days are all of them working in shifts."
Xiao Chiye knew that Chen Yang was going to report something to him, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions. As soon as he entered the city and saw Chen Yang's expression when he greeted him, he knew something was wrong. When he returned to the yard, the hot water was ready. When Xiao Chiye went to take a bath, Shen Zechuan called for a hot meal.
The weather was hot, and the door of the main house was pushed open to both sides, only the bamboo curtains to keep out the mosquitoes hung down. The window screens are all new, and there is a fat-bellied copper jar under the porch, holding two clear water red carp, three or four green lotus floating, and a few green plants planted in the courtyard, lining the warm light leaking from the house. Surrounded by the sitting Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was wearing old robes, and the clothes were too worn out when they came all the way. Shen Zechuan asked Zhou Gui's eldest lady to find a tailor to measure them one by one, and they would be able to change into new clothes after a while.
Chenyang and Zhaohui are the same age, but Zhaohui has already married and established a business. He is still a guard commander and has always lived with his brothers. He seems to be the most particular, but he is actually rough. He was sitting under the eaves at the moment and was bitten by mosquitoes several times, but he was confused and he was still thinking about how to report to Xiao Chiye for a while.
The bamboo curtain was half-open, and Shen Zechuan had already changed into his regular clothes at home. He said to Chen Yang, "I've been guarding the gate of the city at night, and I have to feed mosquitoes while sitting here, so I'll come in first and eat dinner with Ce'an."
Chen Yang got up and responded, and went in.
Xiao Chiye hasn't come out yet, the meals are very simple, and they rarely use big fish and big meat. Now that Ji Gang is back, he pays close attention to the food. Whatever he needs to make up for, he will follow the recipe he made with Qi Hui at Zhaosin Temple. Several of their guards love to drink, and Ji Gang used to love to drink too, and the appetizers they make are unparalleled.
Chen Yang knelt on the mat, and the maid placed food on the small table in front of him.
The room was very quiet, Chen Yang sat with his head bowed, listening to everyone retreated. Shen Zechuan sat on top, not as restrained as Chen Yang. The white toga robe he was wearing showed his wrists during the action, which was a little less refined because of the appearance, but rather relaxed and informal.
If two people have been together for a long time, they may be influenced by each other unconsciously.
Chen Yang felt that at this time, Shen Zechuan had the feeling that Xiao Chiye felt when he was quiet, and there was a gradually reassuring aura.
"It's not good to worry too much," Shen Zechuan put his wooden chopsticks on his hands, didn't look at Chen Yang, and said, "You report truthfully, don't add a word, don't change a word, tell him the matter, he has his own ideas. As the saying goes, The authorities are fans, but not necessarily, he is among them, he knows far better than others, and he may have thought much earlier than you."
Chen Yang bowed his head in a silent salute.
"If you underestimate him, you underestimate yourself." Shen Zechuan said slowly, "He picked you out of tens of millions of people, so why didn't you pick him out of tens of millions of people. There will be storms in the future. , stormy seas, if you are hesitant about everything like tonight, then sooner or later you will not be able to keep up with his footsteps. They only know Xiao Chiye six years ago, but what you see is that he has been tempered in the past six years. Xiao Chiye who came forward. Chenyang and Zhaohui are both sunlight, Xiao Chiye and Xiao Jiming are both wolves from the north, what are you still afraid of? Don't let the time in Yedu confuse yourself, you are already on par with them ."
Chen Yang buried his face on the mat, and a choked sobs leaked from his throat. He curled his fingers slightly, and did not speak for a long time. He felt that his own affairs were irrelevant, so he didn't mention it. Although he didn't suffer the unjust injustice like Gujin, he also felt the coldness of his family. He tossed and turned for the past few days, precisely because he didn't know how to speak to Xiao Chiye, and when he left Libei with Gujin, he even breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chenyang left Libei, nothing was worse than Zhaohui. He wanted to live up to his expectations in everything, and was most afraid of being considered inferior to Zhaohui, so he kept raising his demands on himself. But after he went back for half a month, he had the idea of avoiding Zhaohui.
He was afraid.
At one point he thought he had lost.
He is Xiao Chiye's confidant, and he is also part of the comparison between Xiao Chiye and Xiao Jiming. Once he leads his husband out of such fear, Gujin and Ding Tao will also be affected, and they will no longer be able to compare with Xiao Jiming's guards. For Chi Ye, it was a major blow.
Xiao Chiye is nobody, he is neither Xiao Fangxu nor Xiao Jiming, he is himself, and his most arrogant characteristic is to move forward bravely and to win. Chen Yang followed him, as if following the fierce wind. Shen Zechuan is right, if Chenyang is afraid of this, then he will be left sooner or later, because he initially chose Xiao Chiye who dared to stay in the capital alone.
Before Xiao Chiye's hair was dry, he came out in his normal clothes and saw Chen Yang still lying on the ground with his shoulders shaking. He couldn't help but stare at Shen Zechuan. Shen Zechuan spread his hands slightly, showing him an innocent look.
