Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

The moon came out from the clouds and then went back into the clouds.

The croaking of frogs is always there, disturbing people's thoughts.

Xiao Chenze stood by the pond with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly for Shen Li.

After a while, he heard the familiar cry of Wolf Green in the distance. It was a sound that only he and Wolf Green could understand. Wolf Green was giving him a signal, asking him where he was.

He turned around and whistled twice, each one longer than the last.

Lang Qing quickly brought Shen Li to find him.

The others had already hidden in unknown places, quietly.

Behind, Ding Lang couldn't see the road clearly and failed to catch up with Shen Li. When he almost tripped and looked up, the figure was gone.

Just as he was about to shout, a man in black suddenly appeared behind him, covered his mouth, and told him not to disturb their master.

Xiao Chenze watched Shen Li come to him with a smug smile on her face. Just as she was about to speak, the wolfdog suddenly jumped out, threw itself at Xiao Chenze's feet, and wagged its tail flatteringly.

"It looks like you have moved it?" Xiao Chenze touched the wolfdog's head and said to Shen Li.

Shen Li said, "Yes, it agreed to go to the base to help me, but it also has conditions."

Xiao Chenze looked at her, and Shen Li said, "It asked that it could come back to see you anytime it missed you. It also asked that it return to Beidi after learning its skills. Its mother was killed by the Beidi people, and it has always felt that it would not be considered to have avenged its mother unless it killed a few Beidi people by biting them personally. It is a dog with a conscience, and I promised it."

After saying that, Shen Li turned her gaze away from Lang Qing and looked at Xiao Chenze. "Do you need us to demonstrate whether it listens to me?"

Xiao Chenze shook his head, "No need."

There was no need for interpretation; the answer was clear from the admiring look in Lang Qing's eyes when he looked at Shen Li.

His gaze fell on her, and he smiled faintly, "How do you plan to take it to the base? Do you come here every day to pick it up? Or do you bring it in to stay for a few days and then send it back?"

Shen Li was startled. "Of course I live there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time to go back and forth every day."

Xiao Chenze smiled and said, "That's probably not possible. You really convinced it. I promised you to take it to the base and I won't go back on my word. But you didn't say you wanted to live there. I thought you were just going to take it for a few spins and then come back. If you want to live there, I have a condition."

Shen Li slapped his forehead in annoyance.

I really didn't explain it clearly. It was my negligence. I deserved the sudden price increase.

"Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"I want to visit it from time to time. If you promise me, you can take it away today. If you don't agree, the matter will be invalid, and it will be the same as if we didn't say anything."

It was so hard to get to this point, how could Shen Li be willing to give up? She immediately spread her hands and said, "Okay, okay, deal, it's a deal."

The moon just peeked out from behind the clouds and shone on Xiao Chenze's face.

When Shen Li saw him smiling cunningly, she knew that he had thought of this from the beginning. Regardless of whether Lang Qing listened to her training or not, he would go and see Fang Jiajun.

"Where is the thing you were wearing on your head just now? Why is it gone? What is it for?" Xiao Chenze looked at Shen Li's head and hands.

Shen Li had put away the night vision goggles. When she heard his question, she pursed her lips.

Want to know?

"I can tell you, but I have conditions?" Don't think that he is the only one who negotiates conditions, she will too.

"What conditions?"

"You have to tell me why you renovated the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and why you often live here."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Chenze's expression grew solemn. He stood quietly for a moment before slowly saying, "They will return one day. This prince hopes that the mansion won't be too desolate when they return. As for staying for a few days, this is my favorite place since I was a child. Living here reminds me of my mother..."

Shen Li really wanted to sew her mouth shut. She asked a question that she shouldn't have asked.

I thought I could tell my uncle something useful, but I accidentally opened up someone else's scars.

"I'm done, now it's time for you to tell me what that thing is." Xiao Chenze said.

Shen Li thought about it and felt that the night vision goggles would be taken out and given to her uncle sooner or later. Given her uncle's temper, he would definitely report it to the court, and by then it would no longer be a secret.

Then I told him, "It's a pair of glasses that can help you see clearly at night."

"Seeing clearly at night?"

"Yes."

"Where did you put it? Bring it here so I can take a look at it. I'll see how clear it is."

Shen Li spread her hands and said, "I've put it away. I'll keep it secret for now. I'll show it to you when I have the chance. Wait."

Seeing her showing her little girlish demeanor again, Xiao Chenze's heart softened, "Okay, just don't forget to show it to me."

Shen Li smiled and nodded.

The two of them stopped talking and stood quietly by the pond, listening to the chirping of insects and frogs, feeling the wet and fresh air after the rain, and feeling an indescribable harmony and tranquility.

Lang Qing lay at their feet, thinking that it was no wonder that this woman stole the master's quilt, it turned out that the master also liked her a little.

That night, Shen Li and Xiao Chenze took Langqing to the military dog ​​base.

When we arrived at the base, the morning star had already risen very high.

Fang Yao stood before his horse with his hands behind his back, watching Shen Li and Xiao Chenze approaching from afar. When they approached, he bowed lightly and said, "Why is the eldest prince here?"

Shen Li bowed and said, "Uncle, I brought him here. Our military dog ​​base needs his wolfhound to help. He raised this dog since it was a puppy, and he was worried about it, so he came to take a look."

In Fang Yao's eyes, Xiao Chenze is different from other princes.

For the sake of Duke Chu Hengsheng, he would also take better care of Xiao Chenze.

Thinking of the years he spent training under the old Duke and the old Duke's careful teaching, he felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart.

The death of Queen Chu is still a mystery. After the old Duke died, Chu Hengsheng became the new Duke of Zhenguo because the title of the Duke of Zhenguo was hereditary.

However, the relationship between the Chu family and the emperor reached a freezing point due to the death of Queen Chu. Chu Hengsheng took his family to the northwest border and did not return to Beijing for more than ten years.

If the emperor hadn't been ill, even Xiao Chenze would have stayed there and not wanted to come back.

When seeing Xiao Chenze, Fang Yao would think of Chu Hengsheng and the old Duke.

It was the same today. When Xiao Chenze and Li'er walked towards him together, he almost thought it was Chu Hengsheng who came back.

Oh, aren’t you stupid?

More than ten years have passed. Chu Hengsheng must be very mature now. He is no longer the young man like Xiao Chenze.

"Okay, let's go take a look," Fang Yao said to them with a relaxed expression, "After Li'er has taken a look, go to your grandmother's place. She misses you."

Turning to look at Xiao Chenze, he added, "Go to my old man's place. He's been talking about you so many times. Now that you're here, let him take a look so he doesn't worry about you anymore."

Xiao Chenze nodded and clasped his hands together, "Yes, I will go to visit the old general in a while."

Before returning to Beijing from the border, his uncle specially called him over and repeatedly told him that he needed to visit several families after returning, with the General Fang family and the Marquis of Guanyong Yan family ranking first two.

But after he came back, he learned that the Yan family supported his father's decision to make Concubine Yao the empress, and that Duke Wei Yuan Mengxing was going with the flow, so he lost interest in visiting these people on behalf of his uncle.

Since those families didn’t go, the Fang family naturally didn’t go either.

Today, just like Fang Yao said, since I'm here, I might as well visit General Fang and put my uncle's mind at ease.
