Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 129

"Uncle Chen, I don't recognize the kid, I met him last year."

An Zhiyuan cupped his fists at Chen Wenlu, and then bowed to the end,
"Thank you, Uncle Chen, for taking care of the Hou Mansion all the time. I wonder how the old lady is doing?"

"Sure enough, you are a brat who sneaked out from the Hou's mansion. You are so courageous that Uncle Chen is looking for you everywhere."

Chen Wenlu stepped over, punched An Zhiyuan hard, and then hugged him back, his eyes were red and his voice was choked.

"Uncle thought you were lost. He has been looking for you for a whole year."

Chen Wenlu held back the tears in his eyes and complained,
"Let uncle worry."

An Zhiyuan hugged Chen Wenlu backhandedly, and then let go, Chen Wenlu felt a little embarrassed,

"It's all a good thing you did, and it made your Uncle Chen cry, and you lost your lord today."

Unable to hold back the tears in his eyes, Chen Wenlu quickly wiped them off with his sleeves. The hardness on the armor made his cheeks ache. Only then did he remember that he was still wearing hard leather armor.

"No way, Uncle Chen is a man of temperament, whoever dares to laugh at Uncle Chen, Zhiyuan will not spare him first."

An Zhiyuan waved his fist in the air, and Chen Wenlu punched An Zhiyuan's shoulder twice,
"It's solid. It's not the little guy in the mansion last year. You've changed so much that uncle doesn't even dare to recognize you."

"Of course, I've been here for almost a year now, and I've fought hundreds of big and small battles. It's not the Mr. An you saw back then, who only knows how to play tricks."

An Zhiyuan laughed and teased himself, and Chen Wenlu also laughed out loud, and the hearty laughter of the two of them caused the birds on the nearby branches to fly up.

"The old lady is in good health. When you just left, she was seriously ill. She just said that she spoiled you and spoiled your temper. When she recovered from her illness, it will be three months later. You haven't found it yet, so the old lady said, she has to take good care of herself, so that her body is healthy, she must be healthy and waiting for you to come back, and you can't let bad people get their way, old man People have found out why you ran away from home, but, after all, you just got angry, they did something wrong, but they didn't do anything too vicious, the old lady really can't do anything about them, Now, those people at the back of the house are circled by the old lady. The old lady said that it is because she is too gentle and allows these people to be too casual in the mansion, so that when she is not paying attention, they are already There is a chance to hurt you casually, she has made up her mind this time, let them all stay honest, and if it's okay, no one is allowed to leave their yard."

This passage was whispered in An Zhiyuan's ear. After all, this is a family scandal, and it is General An's family affairs. It is not good to be heard by these soldiers and generals, let alone the second prince. They are staring at the edge.

"It's good to know that the old lady's body is strong, but I'm worried that her body won't be able to bear it."

Hearing that the old lady was in good health, An Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are also cruel, why don't you know how to send a letter home."

However, An Zhiyuan couldn't say that it was his father who refused to let the family know about it. It seemed that An Zhiyuan was just playing the young master's temper that time. In fact, such things have happened several times. General An thought, maybe someone started to pay attention The mansion is making some small moves, but he is far away at the border, beyond his reach, it is better to be careful, wait for him to investigate the matter before making a decision,
"It's Zhiyuan's ignorance that made Uncle Chen worry, but Uncle still doesn't want to let the family know about me at the border for the time being."

Chen Wenlu's heart shuddered, he just made himself shut up. It seems that things are far from as simple as he thought.
"Everything is at the command of the general."

Chen Wenlu naturally understood that General An must have intervened in this matter, otherwise, Shizi An would not have said such things to himself. An Zhiyuan nodded at Chen Wenlu, turned to look at the second prince, and saw that he was waving to him.
"I'm bothering the second prince."

Stepping up to the second prince's car, the young eunuch put down the curtain and went to sit on the shaft by himself.

"An Shizi, someone asked me to bring you something."

The second prince didn't have any ink marks, and took out Lan Lingxue's wrapped box from the dark compartment behind him, but An Zhiyuan was at a loss, he couldn't imagine that anyone would travel thousands of miles to bring him something, What's more, the entire capital city thought he hadn't found him. No one knew that he was at the border at the moment. When the second prince said this, he was more surprised than happy. Who was staring at him in the dark? The border is closed, he knows it all,

"Yes—who entrusted the second prince?"

An Zhiyuan asked hesitantly, feeling very uneasy.

"You don't have to panic, it's an acquaintance of yours."

Seeing An Zhiyuan's uneasy look because he didn't know, the second prince wanted to stretch him even more.

"Acquaintance? Mine?"

An Zhiyuan was even more puzzled. Which of his acquaintances would know the second prince? He and the second prince had never met each other. When he was in Beijing, An Zhiyuan was just a boy who didn't care about worldly affairs and didn't make any friends. He really couldn't figure out which person he was familiar with would recognize the second prince and even ask the second prince to bring things here.

"If you can't guess, just open the package and have a look."

The second prince pointed to the box. The box was said to be big or small. An Zhiyuan raised his hand and shook it. The contents inside were not heavy, but it felt a little slow. Suddenly, a flash of thought crossed his mind, He hurriedly shook the box again, feeling right, the contents inside were not real objects, but seemed to be filled with liquid, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face,
"orchid?"

The second prince was surprised. He took the box in An Zhiyuan's hand and shook it, but he didn't feel anything special.

"How did you guess that?"

This is impossible, no matter how smart An Shizi is, even a rural girl can't get along with this prince. How could he guess it, but the second prince doesn't know that in An Zhiyuan's eyes, that little girl has nothing to do. No, as long as she wants to do, there is nothing she can't do,

"Really are?"

An Zhiyuan asked in surprise, this time, the joy outweighed the shock, the hand holding the box couldn't help tightening, and he hugged the box tightly to his chest. Indescribable.

"Tell me, how did you guess that?"

An Zhiyuan is not willing to tell the truth, he just said,

"I was just thinking, no one will bring me something, and only this family will miss me, so I just guessed like this, who knows, I really guessed right."

The second prince doesn't believe what he said, but he also knows that if he doesn't say it, he really can't do anything about him.

"I wasted all my thoughts and didn't have a single word of truth."

The second prince curled his lips in annoyance, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, so An Zhiyuan followed what the second prince said,

"I was guessing wildly. A blind cat met a dead mouse. I was right."

Only ghosts would believe it, the second prince saw that he was holding the box tightly, so he decided not to bother with him, and started talking about business instead.

"How's the border going? Is it still so tight? The military report to Beijing was written very urgently. I rushed all the way here, but it took more than 20 days. I don't know how your situation is now. Yes, very worried."

Seeing An Shizi's face darken, he also frowned.

The urgency of the military situation this time really made the Holy Majesty very worried. It has been more than ten years since the Tartars attacked the border on such a large scale. The Tartars go back to their own homes, and there are some who disapprove of the war, saying to cut off a few villages, towns, etc., so that the Tartars can stop and stop. The war has been fought for a long time, but it is only a waste of people and money. Anyway, the scene was very chaotic, but there was still a stalemate, so the Holy Majesty sent troops to support him, thinking that if the support would be effective, he would just drive the tartars out. Then let's do it, give them a few towns, and buy them peace of mind. The reason why the second prince is sent here is so that someone can be the last master, because if the war is really difficult, then in the end, someone has to be the master. The decision, war or peace, is not something that can be decided by a general at the border, but if the battle is won, and then the military report is sent back, and then the emperor gives the result, and then it is passed on to the border. It will take more than two months, and it will be too late to make any decisions, and I am afraid that the result will not be satisfactory, but in the heart of the second prince, he hopes to drive the Tartars out. After all, this is the land of Wuxia Kingdom, how can we allow such a small The thieves come to covet it, and it is too detrimental to the prestige of my Wuxia great country.

"Although this battle is quite difficult to fight, they are not attacking on a large scale this time, but like nomads, splitting out a small group of small groups of sudden attacks, making our army hard to defend, but we can still resist, please The support from the rear is just to resolve the war as soon as possible. After all, the longer the war drags on, the more people will suffer. If one can’t be taken care of, there may be another massacre of the village. This is the people of our Wuxia Kingdom. If we can save one, we are not willing to sacrifice one more."

As soon as he talked about the war, An Zhiyuan became a little excited. Before he came to the border, he never thought of the cruelty of war. When he went to the battlefield in person, he saw the blood and blood of the soldiers of the two opposing armies. The people are what makes his heart hurt even more. What is wrong with these people? They just want to live their lives in peace, but because they live in this desolate border, their lives are already poor, and they have to suffer such hardships. An Zhiyuan I really feel sorry for them, and I hope it can save them from suffering for a day, and An Zhiyuan is not willing to delay for another day.

"Then let's go directly to your base camp at the border, instead of going to Wuli Town. As you said, the sooner we bring the army there, the sooner we will relieve the suffering of the people at the border."
