?In order to prevent Nuo Xu from launching a mutiny, Huai Jun and others have made several deployments over the past few days.In the open, as the crown prince and General Dong's position in the military mansion, he emptied General Peng as much as possible and stopped the military rations he approved last month; for disruptive purposes.

After Nuoxu learned that the military rations had been withheld, he immediately brought Mo Huichuan and Yongting to Peng's mansion, and Peng's mansion had prepared tea early in the morning, waiting for Nuoxu's arrival.

After stepping into Peng's mansion and smelling the fresh fragrance of tea, Nuo Xu immediately felt refreshed, and his mood improved a lot after days of depression, and also because the day of Kaifeng imperial decree is getting closer and closer, and the day of liberation is also near.

After seeing them, General Peng hurriedly welcomed them to his seat, "Veteran, see King Wang, King Yi."

"Father-in-law, don't be too polite, please sit down quickly."

As soon as General Peng sat down, he said cheerfully: "I hope the king is so farsighted, His Highness really withheld that batch of military rations."

Nuo Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Your Highness is not wrong to be worried. Who knows if we will embezzle that batch of military rations in private. If Your Highness thinks a little bit more, the war in the southwest is urgent and the food is urgent, you will think how dare we embezzle it. It is impossible for us to prepare the rations for the Ding'an Army just now."

"Haha!" General Peng laughed a few times boldly, "Old Dong is the same, I have been in the military for so many years, how could I be dismissed by him so easily, how could my people have no opinion, just say him No brains."

Yong Ting, who was under a lot of pressure these days, couldn't help laughing, and said sarcastically: "That's because they think they have the power in their hands, and everyone has to listen to them."

"Hey, power confuses the heart, power confuses the heart."

Nuo Xu couldn't help laughing, "Father-in-law, you are laughing at fifty steps."

After laughing, they put away their smiling faces and got back to business.

"Immediately spread the word about the emergency in the Southwest and the withholding of the military rations by His Royal Highness, and then in my name, donate a batch of military rations to the Southwest. It doesn't need to be too much, as long as it is fast."

"But the southwest is in urgent need of military rations..." Yong Ting has been on the battlefield and understands how important sufficient military rations are to the army, and he doesn't want to affect the battle because of it.

"Don't worry, after the news spreads, His Highness will definitely send the rations to the southwest immediately." Nuo Xu winked at Mo Huichuan who was next to him, and Mo Huichuan immediately left Peng's mansion and followed Nuo Xu's instructions.

Seeing Mo Huichuan leave, neither Yong Ting nor General Peng had any objections, there was one more important matter ahead.

"Another batch of Ding'an troops is coming from the waterway, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow night." Yong Ting said.

Nuo Xu nodded, took another sip of tea, and said confidently: "Jiang Huaifeng went to Beijing in the name of attending a funeral, and the troops he brought were only enough to compete with the first batch of Ding'an troops. They would never expect us to send troops up again. .”

"Although it's a little risky, but the method is good." General Peng looked at Nuo Xu and sighed: "Seeing you are so smart and capable always reminds me of too...your uncle."

Nuo Xu's hand holding the teacup trembled, and his face changed slightly.In fact, he knows that this secret will not be kept for a long time, no matter what the outcome is, this secret will always be revealed, but not now, let alone in front of Yong Ting, who has placed high hopes on him, because he is not ready yet.

He pretended to be calm, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I can't even reach uncle's finger."

"Uncle?" Yong Ting asked curiously. He had never met Nuo Xu's mother and concubine, and he didn't know that Nuo Xu had an uncle.

"A friend of mine." General Peng replied, but said to Nuo Xu regretfully, "If he was half as humble as you, he wouldn't have died young."

"The past is over, father-in-law." Nuo Xu paused, and then said what he wanted to say all these years: "It's useless to think too much."

General Peng stroked his half-white beard, nodded and said, "I've given up on it a long time ago."

Nuo Xu smiled bitterly, it was indeed not General Peng who was persistent, and he also wanted to be non-attaching, but things in the world were often not as people wished.

As for mentioning the past, Yong Ting is equally persistent.He smiled disdainfully, he could only live until now if he kept thinking of the happy days with Min Luo in the past, and Min Luo's futile death.

A profound past like this is only beneficial if you think about it.

The three sat absent-mindedly for a while, and after Nuo Xu drank two more cups of tea, he set off to leave.

Before leaving, General Peng had something to say to Nuo Xu and asked Yong Ting to wait outside.

"Looking at the king." General Peng put away his composure just now, looked at Nuo Xu seriously, and said, "Regardless of success or failure, the veteran has done everything he can."

"Father-in-law, I know."

"Since you still call me father-in-law, I hope you promise me and Yao'er, and you must do it." General Peng stared at Nuo Xu with a pair of old eyes, as if only in this way can he see what he said is not the truth.

Nuo Xu looked straight back at General Peng and said firmly, "Do everything you can."

After getting the promise, General Peng showed a smile and a kind face, watching Nuo Xu leave Peng's residence.

In fact, he knew that the only thing Nuo Xu could do was to do his best, because Nuo Xu never had the right to decide things, and Nuo Xu's promise was nothing more than a consolation.

If the events of that year did not blind my eyes, it would be easy to see who was right and who was wrong.Sadly, some people choose to blind themselves, and others, with hatred.

After Nuo Xu and Yong Ting returned to the palace, they went back to Shangyang Hall and Dongqin Hall respectively.Nuo Xu looked at the flowers, plants, birds and trees along the road. Since the first emperor collapsed, he always felt that the palace had lost a bit of vitality, but he knew that this was the harbinger of the arrival of new energy, and a new life would follow.

Thinking of this, his steps became easier, and the haze that had oppressed him for several days was also swept away a little.

Suddenly, he paused at the corner, and then slowed down.But he had only walked five or six steps before he couldn't resist the inner struggle, so he quickly stepped forward and called the person in front of him to stop.

"Le Yu."

Song Leyu, who had just come back from the palace, turned around and was a little surprised when she saw Nuo Xu, but she still smiled at him and respectfully called out: "See King Wang."

"I haven't seen you for many years, I never expected to meet you here." Nuo Xu pointed to the pavilion in front of him and asked, "Go and have a seat."

Song Leyu glanced at Nuo Xu hesitantly, Nuo Xu understood his worry, and said, "How about pure friends getting together?"

Looking at Nuo Xu's sincere eyes, Song Leyu thought to himself, although he is now on the prince's side, but he and Nuo Xu's friendship comes first, and it is fate to meet at this moment, and he also feels a little bit ashamed of Nuo Xu in this matter, if he refuses He is also too unreasonable.

Finally, he nodded and followed Nuo Xu to the pavilion, where they sat opposite each other.

"Is the tea sent by Shangyang Palace to your liking?"

With the lessons learned from his childhood, even if he didn't drink that tea, he still bite the bullet and said: "Yunnan Pu'er, of course I agree."

After so many years of friendship, Nuo Xu can naturally see that Song Leyu's words are insincere, and he joked: "Since we agree, I'll ask someone to send some more to the Hall of Harmony."

"No, no..." Song Leyu hastily waved his hand to refuse, and then explained: "The tea was sent by Brother Fan..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by three words whispered by Nuo Xu.

"Do not say."

Song Leyu immediately understood and remained silent.

Following Huai Jun's side, he also heard that the late emperor had met a man named Fan before his death.He didn't think much about it at the time, but seeing Nuo Xu's nervous look now, he finally knew who this person named Fan was.

"Do they know?" Nuo Xu asked in a low voice, with a trace of panic on his face, he even forgot that there were Song Leyu and other people who knew Fan Shaoqian beside Huai Jun.

"I didn't say anything."

After hearing this, Nuo Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and warned: "No one should know about this matter."

"Well, I understand."

Although he didn't understand why the late emperor wanted to meet Fan Shaoqian, he also understood that Huai Jun and Min Xuan couldn't find Fan Shaoqian first, otherwise Fan Shaoqian would die if he came back just because Fan Shaoqian and Nuo Xu had known each other since childhood.

Nuo Xu calmed down, and changed the subject: "Do you have living habits in the palace?"

"It's just a period of time, not to mention getting used to it." Song Leyu raised an eyebrow and said, "You know the Song family's family motto, if I had a choice, I would never step into this palace."

"You are not allowed to step into the officialdom." Nuo Xu said softly, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the wine and meat monk's words are to guard against you, an infatuated son."

Song Leyu shrugged, unwilling to bring Zhao Tianbao into their conversation.

Nuo Xu let out an "ah", but his words were sarcasm: "I have reminded you a long time ago that Ruanrou Township is a hero's tomb. If you listen to me, you won't be caught."

"But you also said that I'm not a hero." Song Leyu said mockingly.

He could hear Nuo Xu's worry about him in his sarcasm, and this was also his worry. He only thought about it now, and it was obviously too late, so he had to explain himself: "In my opinion, that wine and meat monk is exactly what he expected It was only when I was in danger that I asked my grandfather to set up this family motto, and since this is the case, I can’t escape it and I’m just following the sky.”

"It's a good sentence to follow the sky." Nuo Xu thought of the person who told his fortune that night, and his mood improved again.

He couldn't help thinking, could he get the ending he most desired only if he followed the will of God?

Song Leyu smiled, and said: "When I was young, I did a fortune-telling. The master said that when I was in my 20s, there would be a catastrophe. As long as I passed it, although I would not be rich in my early years, at least my life would be fulfilled."

Only he and Mrs. Song knew about that fortune-telling, because Mrs. Song was afraid that Master Song would not hand over the family business to Song Leyu, so she kept it a secret.

If the master's calculations are true, then it is about time for him to respond to the calamity.What is robbery?He roughly guessed, but didn't want to think about it.

As for the consummation of his life, since he expressed his heart to Zhao Tianbao, all he wanted in this life was to live happily with Zhao Tianbao. Thinking about it this way, as long as they were together, his life would be complete.

Great Tribulation - Nuo Xu's expression suddenly became solemn, he came to find Song Leyu just to intervene in this matter, because they all predicted what the Great Tribulation would be.

He said solemnly: "Although His Highness is using you now, it is not uncommon for Li Lai to let you die like a dog. What's more, your relationship with your cousin who returned to Sichuan, there are many people who are interested in this court..."

"Don't worry about it, I think I've offended His Highness." Song Leyu said helplessly, then lowered the volume, and told about Chen Pu's story.

As Nuo Xu listened, her eyebrows became tighter and tighter.After Song Leyu finished speaking, he disagreed and said: "Your Highness's obsession with Pu'er is beyond your imagination, why do you have to risk speaking for Pu'er?"

"Since I regard him as a friend, I should do my best in this matter."

Seeing Song Leyu's natural expression, Nuo Xu couldn't help sighing, "You're just a lover, you don't do anything for your family business, but spend your whole life on your relationship."

Song Leyu touched his nose, laughed twice, but said nothing.

Seeing his face full of indifference, Nuo Xu could only shake his head helplessly.

There is nothing wrong with such a sentimental person, but the Song family has such an unworthy descendant, but if Song Leyu was born into the wrong family, there is no family that can raise him with such a chic and refined demeanor. It seems that everything is destiny carry on.

He thought about it and decided to bring up an old matter again.

"I never thought that you and Pu'er would get to know each other."

Song Leyu, who has always believed in fate, has always regarded his meeting with Chen Pu as a fate, so he said: "Although the world is big, those who are destined will eventually meet."

Nuo Xu couldn't help laughing, he liked Song Leyu's answer, but he thought, Song Leyu must have forgotten where his fate with Chen Pu started.

He blinked and asked inscrutablely, "Do you still remember Hehe?"

Following these two words, what came to Song Leyu's mind was a seven or eight-year-old beggar. That year, Nuo Xu bought that beggar, then left him in the Song Mansion, and ordered someone to clean him up. clean.

Song Leyu had already forgotten what that little beggar looked like, only remembered that he had a pair of big and bright eyes, which made him fall in love with those eyes immediately, but that day, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song wanted to take him out, waiting for him When I came back, the little beggar was gone.

Suddenly, he remembered the scene when he met Chen Pu in the pavilion on the mountain north of Yangzhou City that day. He was attracted by Chen Pu's clear and bright eyes that day, and it was those eyes that made him suddenly familiar, and he insisted on Get to know Chen Pu.

Thinking of this, Chen Pu's eyes overlapped with Xiao Beghua's.

He asked in disbelief, "He, he is Chen Pu?"

"This is fate." Nuo Xu nodded and said jokingly: "In this way, wouldn't you be willing to sacrifice your life for him?"

Song Leyu was lamenting at the unpredictable changes in the world, and when Nuo Xu said this, she could only pat her head in embarrassment.After a while, he asked, "Did elder brother know about this a long time ago?"

"He?" Nuo Xu shook his head again with a puzzled look on his face. How could Fan Shaoqian, who had never seen "He He", know about this?

"Then how could he?" Song Leyu hesitated to speak, wondering if he should tell what Fan Shaoqian had entrusted to him.

"What can you do?"

Song Leyu hesitated for a moment, thinking in his heart that Fan Shaoqian's matter could not be concealed from Nuo Xu, besides, it would be good to tell the matter, if he left, Nuo Xu would treat Chen Pu well for Fan Shaoqian's sake ,

He said: "When I was in Xuanlou, my elder brother asked me to take good care of A Pu."

After hearing this, Nuo Xu was a little stunned, and felt a little uncomfortable.In the past, Fan Shaoqian only cared about him and Mo Huichuan, but now it seems that Chen Pu actually occupies a place in his heart?

Here, Nuo Xu was still weighing Chen Pu's position in Fan Shaoqian's heart, but there was a person not far away who saw them in his eyes, and after several weighings, he quietly went back to Renfu Palace.
