This shadow guard is kinda nice

The next day, the carriage was waiting outside the gate of the palace, and Lin Hai, the commander of the forbidden army, personally led a team of forbidden troops to escort Zhao Tingzheng and Xiao Yian to Nanchu.

In the third year of Taichu, when the Supreme Emperor passed away, Wei Jue, who was then the commander of the Imperial Army, handed over his resignation letter, and then Lin Hai took up the post of commander of the Imperial Army.

Others envied Lin Hai to be the commander of the Forbidden Army at a young age. There has always been a popular saying among the people that he went to Pingyao with His Majesty, who was still King Xuan, and he was appreciated by King Xuan along the way, which led to his current status.

Lin Hai laughed it off when he heard it. The rumors are rumors after all and cannot be taken as true.

At that time, he was ordered by Wei Jue to monitor King Xuan all the way and send news back to Jinling. It is strange that King Xuan appreciates him, and it would be good not to kill him to vent his anger.

As for why he was later mentioned as the commander of the imperial army, Lin Hai thought that he was more knowledgeable about current affairs, and his ability was justified.So it makes sense to lead the Forbidden Army in the end.

Moreover, the current status of the imperial army is far inferior to that of the Chongde period. Now His Majesty only trusts the Xuanjia Battalion brought out by himself and Lin Sheng's military department, which are his direct descendants.

The Forbidden Army is no longer the Forbidden Army during the Chongde period.

The imperial army was ready to go, Lin Sheng passed Zhao Tingzheng and Xiao Yi'an, and said to Xiao Yichen, who came to see them off in person, that they were packed and ready to go.

Xiao Yichen looked away from a distance, he nodded, and said to Zhao Tingzheng and Xiao Yi'an: "Go."

Zhao Tingzheng didn't leave immediately, instead he took two steps forward, blinked his eyes and promised at a volume that only two people could hear, "I will pay more attention to you."

Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he meant by paying attention, he laughed, didn't express anything, just waved his hand and said: "Go."

Zhao Tingzheng pouted, turned around and got into the carriage.

Xiao Yi'an knew that he had to go on this trip, he said a few words to Xiao Yichen, and then he also got into the carriage, but the back view looked rather bleak, like some strong men would never return after leaving.

After Lin Hai clasped his fists to salute Xiao Yichen, following his sound of departure, the leading carriage started to move, Xiao Yichen watched the carriage go away, with his hands behind his back, he said lightly, "Go back."

The prince answered.

The carriage went all the way out of Jinling, Zhao Tingzheng and Xiao Yi'an looked at each other without saying a word. In the past few years, they didn't have many opportunities to get in touch with each other. Zhao Tingzheng has been studying under Ye Huan's hands, and occasionally got in touch with Xiao Yichen and Lin Sheng. Xiao Yi'an, the well-known king of Cheng in Jinling City, had heard of many of his love affairs, and nothing else.

Xiao Yi'an was too lazy to talk, thinking of the long journey and the long bumpy journey, he didn't want to talk.

Therefore, the two of them have nothing to talk about now, they are sitting on the side of the carriage, silent.

From Jinling to Yongzhou, leaving Daliang, and then entering Southern Chu and entering the border of Muye, Zhao Tingzheng stayed here for a day, Xiao Yian rarely ran to places like brothels, but stayed in the inn and slept Most of the day.

Zhao Tingzheng didn't let the imperial guards follow, wandering alone in Muye, walking along the familiar and unfamiliar streets, he walked quietly, attracting girls' glances from time to time.

He took it lightly, and when he stopped, he raised his eyes and saw that the narrow alley in front of him was no longer the narrow alley with white walls, bricks and tiles, and shadows of trees.

He was in a daze, the scene in front of him had deviated from his dusty memory. At that time, he kept going in and out of this place all day long to fill his stomach and buy medicine for his mother. The place called home is very strange now. up.

After a long time, Zhao Tingzheng smiled.

That's okay, the memories of the past will stay in the memory forever, and Zhao Tingzheng is no longer the young man who was going to work hard for a little money.

……

A few days later, Xiao Yi'an and Zhao Tingzheng arrived at Lin'an, the capital of Southern Chu. The ministers of Southern Chu had already been waiting outside the city to welcome the guests from various countries who came to congratulate them this time.

Various carriages were parked outside the city, guards lined up on both sides, and further away, there were traders from all corners of the country, seizing this opportunity, setting up small stalls in an attempt to earn more money, and it was lively for a while.

The climate in Southern Chu is warmer, much hotter than Daliang. It is noon now, and the carriage is even more stuffy. Zhao Tingzheng couldn't sit still. After looking at Xiao Yi'an, the two got out of the carriage by coincidence.

There were two more convoys ahead of them, waiting for the inspection at the checkpoint. Zhao Tingzheng put his hands on his forehead to cover the glare of the sun.

"It's hot."

Xiao Yi'an squinted his eyes and looked around while talking.

A few years ago during the martial arts conference, he only went to Muye, not Lin'an. Unexpectedly, Lin'an was hotter than Muye.

Xiao Yi'an was irritable, and wanted to blame Xiao Yichen again, but he only dared to keep it in his heart, after all, he was surrounded by Xiao Yichen's people, if he told Xiao Yichen later, then he would not have good fruit for him.

Just as Zhao Tingzheng was about to say to sit in the small stall at the back first, the discussions around him suddenly became louder.Zhao Tingzheng looked suspiciously along the source of the sound, Xiao Yi'an's original expression of impatience suddenly froze on his face.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, a handsome man came out from the city. The man's face was extremely stern, his eyes were light, and his black clothes made him even more powerful, like a sharp knife out of its scabbard. Can cover its edge.

Although the man was accompanied by a gentle and handsome son, the eyes of most people present were still attracted by the man in black.

When the officials of Southern Chu saw that it was the fourth prince Chu Jiuxiao and the prime minister's son Zhong Mengze, they all turned around and saluted.

"See Your Majesty."

Chu Jiuxiao raised his hand, "You don't need to be too polite, you are busy, this king just came to take a look."

The official in charge nodded sweatily, and he just looked at Chu Jiuxiao standing aside in such astonishment, and really came to take a look.The official thought about it for a while, but he stepped forward boldly, bowed his body and asked, "My lord, why don't I get you a chair? Sit down and rest for a while."

No one in Southern Chu knows how much His Royal Highness, the crown prince who is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, dotes on this younger brother.

The fourth prince, Chu Jiuxiao, was exiled in the early years, and returned to Southern Chu with Chu Yunhe five years ago. At that time, the fourth prince was seriously injured, and it was the genius doctor who rescued him personally, and only then came back with his life.

After that, Chu Yunhe doted on this long-lost younger brother, and always kept it by his side. As long as Chu Jiuxiao wanted, Chu Yunhe had what he had, and there was nothing he would not give. Even now, when Chu Yunhe was about to ascend the throne, there was no The meaning of letting Chu Jiuxiao go out of the palace to build a mansion.

The one above spoils her, so the people below naturally dare not neglect her.

Chu Jiuxiao stopped talking with Zhong Mengze, glanced at him lightly, and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, you are busy."

"Yes, yes." The official nodded, and he backed away, not disturbing Chu Jiuxiao and Zhong Mengze any more.

After a short episode, the carriage moved again, Zhao Tingzheng was stunned, he kept staring at Chu Jiuxiao's face, even if he was far away, he could still see that person's face clearly.

Clear-cut and extremely cold.

It is clearly ink dyeing.

Zhao Tingzheng turned his head and saw the same shock in Xiao Yi'an's eyes.

Maybe he was prepared in his heart, Mo Ran lived well, and he was in Nanchu, but he really saw him, and he was not as peaceful as he imagined.

Just looking at it from a distance, Zhao Tingzheng can feel that Mo Ran is not the same as before, and his gestures are full of bullying.

The last one, it was Xiao Yichen who gave Zhao Tingzheng this sense of oppression.The carriages in front entered Lin'an City one after another, and finally arrived at Zhao Tingzheng and Xiao Yian's place. Lin Hai took out the invitation card sent by Chu Yunhe, and the officials looked carefully at it, while the soldiers behind them checked the carriage they were riding in. , After there was no problem, he returned the invitation card, made way, and invited them to enter Lin'an City.

After passing the checkpoint and stepping into Lin'an City, the first thing Zhao Tingzheng did was to run to Mo Ran, but before he could say a word to him, the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately surrounded him.

The officers and soldiers looked at him vigilantly, preventing him from doing anything that would be detrimental to Chu Jiuxiao.

Chu Jiuxiao raised his head slightly, and he glanced at Zhao Tingzheng indifferently.

Just now there were two lines of sight staring at him, and there were many people staring at him, but such a fiery gaze, he couldn't ignore it, but since Zhong Mengze was at the side, he couldn't blatantly look for those gazes , but now this person came to him?There should be another one.

He passed Zhao Tingzheng and looked at Xiao Yi'an behind him.

Xiao Yi'an just waved Lin Hai back, telling him to stand first and not to act rashly, then his whole body was shocked, and he stopped abruptly.

Chu Jiuxiao's eyes were too sharp and domineering, and he was supercilious.

Is this ink dyeing?He couldn't help thinking that the person who used to lower his eyebrows in front of Xiao Yichen had become like this now.

A few years ago Xiao Yichen forbade others to talk about Nanchu in front of him, so he didn't bother to inquire about Nanchu, so he always thought that even if Mo Ran was lucky and survived, he would only be somewhere in Nanchu. Live the rest of your life.

Just now a group of officials called Mo Ran the prince. He didn't expect that the younger brother of Chu Yunhe who came back to Southern Chu five years ago was actually Mo Ran.

Five years ago, five years ago...

He murmured, and then laughed at himself, yes, Mo Ran fell off a cliff five years ago and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Nan Chu found the fourth prince who had been lost for more than ten years.

He should have linked the two things together a long time ago, so blame him, Xiao Yichen didn't want to hear about Nan Chu, he suddenly thought, maybe Xiao Yichen knew about it a long time ago...

Zhao Tingzheng opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say. Under Chu Jiuxiao's indifferent gaze, he called out: "... Mo Ran"

Unexpectedly, the person on the other side didn't respond at all, it was as if he heard an extremely strange name that had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Tingzheng's eyes widened in disbelief, and he called out loudly again, fearing that his voice was too low and Mo Ran didn't hear it.

However still the same result.

But the man next to Mo Ran gave Zhao Tingzheng a strange look, and said to Chu Jiuxiao, "Do you know each other?"

Zhao Tingzheng couldn't care less about why Mo Ran was following such a man, and now he focused all his attention on Mo Ran, and had a vague guess in his heart.

Xiao Yi'an also stared at him, Chu Jiuxiao looked back and forth between Zhao Tingzheng and Xiao Yi'an, and finally heard him say in a deep voice, "I don't know you."

There was a bang in Zhao Tingzheng's heart, and there was only one thought.

Moran didn't remember them.

The author has something to say: Yes, the amnesia meme is here~ (There was a cutie discussing the plot in the comment area before, and the guess was right, I didn’t feel the nerve to reply, so I covered my face)

Although he is a bloody stalker, but, believe me (sincere eyes), he is not abusive, he always sprinkles sugar~

Countdown to reunion!
