This shadow guard is kinda nice

The Southern Chu court has been stable for many years. However, since Chu Yunhe ascended the throne, he has made drastic moves. First, he promulgated a series of reform measures. A family was uprooted.

The prime minister was an important minister in the former emperor's dynasty. He had accumulated power in the court for a long time. The former queen's body was weak, and most of the political affairs fell on the crown prince's head. At that time, the prime minister probably did not deal with the prince. It's not unexpected, but it's a pity for the son of the prime minister's mansion. It's so miserable. It is said that there is not even a whole body left, which makes the girls in Beijing who love Mr. Zhong very sad.

Xiao Yichen moved his chopsticks casually, and next to his ears was the storyteller talking about how handsome and refined the prince of the prime minister's mansion was in the past, and the person opposite him concentrated on picking up the fishbone, without being affected by the surroundings at all.

Xiao Yichen simply put down his chopsticks, propped his chin with one hand, and looked at Mo Ran with great interest.

Listen to Mr. Zhong, what prime minister, how can this person in front of you be interesting.

Mo Ran seemed to have sensed something, he raised his head, smiled, and put the picked fish into Xiao Yichen's bowl, "Master, try it? The fish in this restaurant is not bad."

In the past few days, he has been taking Xiao Yichen around the city of Lin'an, the two eat and drink, and occasionally go out of the city to play in nearby places.In the past, the two of them didn't have the opportunity and time to have fun like this. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally want to have a good time. After all, after today, the two of them will set off to return to Jinling.

On the one hand, Mo Ran recovered his memory. On the other hand, Jinling was pressing hard. In recent years, the power of King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu has risen sharply, even vaguely overshadowing Shan Yu Wang Ting. In just a few months, King Zuo Xian The Ministry of Defense invaded Daliang's border several times. Although there were no major casualties on both sides, this was tantamount to provocation.

Xiao Yichen had no choice but to go back.

After coming out of the restaurant, the two went back to the Southern Chu Palace, because Chu Yunhe turned a blind eye, Xiao Yichen was able to come in and out at will.

Zhuo Yuan has been surprised these days, and has accepted that this man is His Royal Highness's... sweetheart.After the initial shock, he really saw the relationship between the two of them, so he felt more and more that they were a good match, and he happily watched the two of them getting married every day.

He served some iced plum soup, and then backed away. Mo Ran pushed the bowl in front of Xiao Yichen, and filled another bowl to drink. After eating the plum soup all night, Mo Ran felt so relieved that he didn't want to talk, and was lazy Nestling in Xiao Yichen's arms, the two were talking in a low voice.

Xiao Yichen's hand stroked the back of his neck again and again, Mo Ran was drowsy, sleepiness came up, Xiao Yichen bent down, "Go to sleep inside."

Moran hummed in a daze.

Xiao Yichen smiled, stretched out his hand to scratch his nose, Mo Ran rubbed it lightly, Xiao Yichen protected the back of his neck, and hugged him horizontally with force.

Mo Ran consciously found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes contentedly.

Xiao Yichen put the person on the bed, took off his outer clothes, covered the quilt, and then walked out, just happened to run into Zhuo Yuan who was wandering in the courtyard.

Zhuo Yuan stopped, put down his hands behind his back, stared blankly at him as if he was about to go out, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Chu, where are you going?"

He said, and glanced at the main hall.

Xiao Yichen kept walking, "He's asleep, take care of him, don't heat him up, I'll go out for a while, I'll be back later."

Zhuo Yuan nodded, watched him leave, and then walked to the main hall.

The setting sun is about to set, and the vast sky is smudged. The brick-red walls and glazed tiles also look dreamy.

Xiao Yichen turned over and entered a courtyard, before he approached the window, a cold voice came from inside.

"Emperor Liang likes climbing over walls so much?"

Xiao Yichen paused, touched his nose, he got used to opening the window, but it really didn't work, so he changed direction and walked straight to the wide open front door.

Chu Yunhe guessed that Xiao Yichen would come today, and would go back to Daliang with his precious brother tomorrow, so he didn't come to look for him until today.If it weren't for Chu Jiuxiao really liking Xiao Yichen, he wouldn't have wanted Chu Jiuxiao to leave Nanchu with Xiao Yichen at all.

Xiao Yichen entered the door, looked around casually, there was no difference between the secret passage and his girder.He sat down opposite Chu Yunhe, and said, "I don't really like climbing over walls, but..."

Xiao Yichen smiled, "It's just that your Nanchu wall is easier to climb."

Chu Yunhe knew that he was using this to mock Nan Chu's defense. He was careless that time, and Jiu Xiao blocked the dagger that was supposed to stab him.Although there was nothing wrong with Xiao Yichen's words, why did he feel so owed when he said it, do you still want to go back with his brother?

Chu Yunhe snorted coldly.

Xiao Yichen held his head, didn't speak, just laughed, smiled, he felt that something was wrong.Now it is not the same as when they met in Muye a few years ago, it was fine for him to say something to Chu Yunhe back then, but the point is that now there is another relationship between them.

Leaving aside the identities of Emperor Liang and Emperor Nanchu, there is one person they care about in common.

Xiao Yichen lowered his eyes, suppressed his smile silently, and sat upright.

Now it was Chu Yunhe's turn to gain the upper hand, he chuckled lightly, and tilted his head lazily and asked, "Why doesn't Emperor Liang stop laughing, continue?"

Xiao Yichen didn't care about him, he was a brother-in-law, and he was right.

Chu Yunhe faintly knew what was going on in his heart, but he seemed to be even more angry. His mentality was similar to that of Shuiling Xiaobaicai, who was raised by his side, and was suddenly pushed away by someone one day. Although in conscience, this person It also goes well with their Chinese cabbage, but it's just not good.

Before Chu Yunhe could say anything, Xiao Yichen preemptively said: "We are all a family, so there is no need for Emperor Liang, how unfamiliar."

"Just call me Xiao Yichen, of course," Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, "If you want, you can also call me Yichen."

Chu Yunhe: "..."

"...Yi...Chen." He gritted his teeth when he said the two words, Xiao Yichen seemed to be unable to understand, and responded with a smile.

If you want to hug your daughter-in-law back, it's okay to be thick-skinned.

Chu Yunhe realized that compared with Xiao Yichen, he was simply too embarrassing, and he didn't know which muscle of Jiuxiao was wrong, so he was determined and fell in love with this one.

"The girder is not very flat recently."

Chu Yunhe was determined to win back a victory, no matter what he had to make Xiao Yichen feel at ease, otherwise he would lose his younger brother and make him feel aggrieved, how could this be possible.

Sure enough, Xiao Yichen twitched the corners of his lips, and said: "Yes, there are always some people who are overwhelmed and want to dance in front of you."

Chu Yunhe was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Apart from Chu Jiuxiao's relationship, he did have the ability to say this just to see Xiao Yichen.

"Southern Chu borders your girders, which means we have a common line of defense..." Chu Yunhe didn't say any more, he believed that Xiao Yichen understood.

Xiao Yichen also really understands that whether it is at the national level or personally, Chu Yunhe hopes that he can completely solve the problem of border troubles, and at the same time, he will also help when necessary.

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, just said to make him feel at ease.

Chu Yunhe sighed, and had no intention of continuing to talk about it. In the rush of Muye that year, he only felt that Xiao Yichen was the same kind of person as him, with the same ambition, conquest, and desire to control power, but who would know, how much? Years later, they sat here because of the same person.

"Let's not talk about that," Chu Yunhe took the wine jar he had placed by the table not long ago, unwrapped it, and handed it to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and took it, Chu Yunhe also unsealed a jar of wine afterward, the two jars of wine collided together, making a crisp sound.

The two of them raised their heads and took a sip at the same time, Xiao Yichen wiped the liquid from his lips, and said loudly: "Good wine."

The spicy was burning all the way, Chu Yunhe smiled and said: "It was brewed a long time ago." After a while, he said: "Only you and Jiuxiao have drunk this wine."

Xiao Yichen laughed, Chu Yunhe showed too much kindness today, he wanted to treat Mo Ran well by himself, if not, the whole Southern Chu is behind Mo Ran.

"In that case, then I will also present it with courtesy." Xiao Yichen put down the wine jar and said with a light smile.

Chu Yunhe didn't take it seriously until Xiao Yichen took out half a roll of kraft paper.

He sat up straight in an instant, with a complicated look on his face.

The other half of the cowhide roll is in his hand.

"you……"

"Is this thing from your Nanchu?" Xiao Yichen said, spreading out half a roll of kraft paper.

It is indeed the half-volume treasure map that Prince Xiao Beining tried so hard to get his hands on.

"Why are you here?" The shock on Chu Yunhe's face hadn't subsided, he asked firmly.

Xiao Yichen shook his head, "It's just by chance."

He didn't intend to tell Chu Yunhe how much this thing went through before it got into his hands. He just said: "This thing belongs to you Nanchu, right? Now it can be regarded as returning to its original owner."

Chu Yunhe's fingers trembled slightly as he stroked the dusty scroll.

He didn't tell Chu Jiuxiao what was wrong with him in the story about his life experience.

It is true that the king of Wei loves power, but he also knows that he is not capable of securing his position in this country. To take a step back, he wants to be rich and prosperous, to enjoy endless glory and wealth, for him to squander his life.

And this treasure map was passed down by successive emperors of Southern Chu for the purpose of stabilizing the country and society. It is said that it was the monstrous wealth left by the ancestors of Southern Chu after their death.

At that time, the father, who was still the prince, was the imperial heir, and the treasure map had already been in his hands. After the king of Wei learned about it, he took advantage of the crown prince and the little prince to go to the temple to pray, and in the middle of the night, he killed the guards and kidnapped the prince and princess. Little prince, I want the prince to exchange for a treasure map.

The father had no choice but to divide the treasure map into two, and only said that the person returned safely, and then gave the remaining half.

However, that night, King Wei's people had internal strife, and they fought for the treasure map, and the queen mother also died in this chaos. Jiu Xiao was taken away, and the treasure map may have been at that time, Follow Chu Jiuxiao to Daliang.

In the following ten years, Chu Jiuxiao became Mo Ran, and by coincidence, the treasure map came into Xiao Yichen's hands, and finally returned to Nanchu after a detour, and returned to Chu Yunhe's hands.

Everything seems to be back to the original point, except for the 20 years that passed by in a hurry.

After a long time, Xiao Yichen got up and patted Chu Yunhe's shoulder, "He is the person I put in my heart, before, and even more so in the future."

Chu Yunhe was silent, he stared at Xiao Yichen with a complicated expression for a long while, and then slowly said, "I hope it will always be like this..."
