Chapter 53: North Frontier

Di Muyang went out chaos with General Di for a while, and when he saw him again, he always felt that he seemed a little different.
Where is it different?
He couldn't speak again.
At that time, Chu Yan stood outside the city gate to meet Di Muyang, who had returned triumphantly. His Royal Highness Prince who had never been on the battlefield was full of sand.
So, Di Muyang asked Mei Qiandeng privately: "Little boy, haven't I suffered during this time? Has your Royal Highness been hit? An accident? Or something else that is not humane?"
Mei Qiandeng thought seriously and shook her head: "Except for a child in the palace, nothing seems to happen to the Prince."
"What ?! Where did the child come from ?!" Di Muyang had just returned and had not heard of the existence of Xiaojian. At this moment, he heard that the whole man almost jumped up. It didn't take long for him to leave, His Royal Highness Prince even had children. It must be the wrong way he came back.
Mei Qiandeng briefed him on the story of Xiao Jian's appearance, and disappeared from the Yue family. Di Muyang digested this for a long time before reluctantly accepting it. He couldn't figure out how to drop a child from the sky. He asked Mei Qiandeng again, "Little boy, do you think that the prince seems to have less words than before? "
Is there any change in Chu?
Mei Qiandeng carefully compared Chu before and after, and did not feel any obvious changes. Moreover, the prince has been with her all the time, either in the palace or on a trip to Meizizhou, and was not stimulated. Is it irritating to the Prince Songge to pretend to be crying? However, it seems that Chu Qi has lost his temper lately. However, it is not surprising that people always grow alive.
Mei Qiandeng asked: "The prince has changed and is in a good direction. Isn't it a good thing to be happy, why should the young general be worried?"
Di Muyang was right to think about it, maybe it was Chu Yu who woke up and suddenly realized something.
It's just that the young general and the prince have known each other since childhood, knowing Chu Chu's temperament, so that the narcissistic prince can see and accept the shortcomings of his body and make improvements. His Royal Highness must have experienced huge ups and downs.
"No no no, there must be something secret in His Royal Highness."
Mei Qiandeng: ...
When Di Muyang returned, he also brought back a message, which was not publicized.
In the Imperial Study Room, the Di family's father and son stood in the Dragon case, and Chu Yi was also there. Chu Yi took a saber from General Dili and gave it to his father. The emperor looked dignified, and examined the big knife carefully. But seeing the blade silver bright, thin as cicada wings, cold light, Bacheng cut iron like mud. Even if you are not a connoisseur, you can feel that this is a good knife just by waving it in your hand.
"This is the weapon you seized from that barbaric tribe?" The emperor looked up and asked the old general.
General Dilao nodded, his face calm.
Chu Kun was shocked. The nomadic tribes in the north were like scattered sand all the year round. Whenever the cattle and sheep raised by natural disasters were not enough, they would disturb the border and be barbaric. But these people have never been a climate, and most of them are ignorant stupid big men, and their lives are very backward and primitive. Therefore, even before the robbery, the weapons in hand were very low-level, and the soldiers at the border could rush away without any fear. This time, General Dili took Di Muyang to the north to practice his skills, also considering that these savages are relatively low-level and easy to fight. With their IQ, they should not be able to master such a superb technique of casting weapons, in other words, this knife must have been bought by nomadic tribes from other places.
"The emperor, the old minister was terrified. This time when the north was settled, at first, he did not know that the inmates had almost these weapons. One of the pioneers of the old minister suffered heavy casualties under their sword."
The men of the nomadic tribe are as strong as cattle, and when they have the best weapons, their lethality is improved a lot.
The emperor frowned, "Oh? I don't know when those barbarians have such skills and financial resources and can afford such weapons."
Chu Yu interface: "If they have so much money to buy weapons, why not come to commit crimes on our border. I am afraid there is another secret."
General Di Muyang winked at Di Muyang: "The dog ventured into the enemy camp and found something else. Please look at the emperor." Di Muyang immediately carefully pulled out a silk scarf from his arms and opened it for presentation. To the dragon case.
The parcel was wrapped in a little white powder. The emperor reached for a little capricorn in his fingertips, sniffed it under his nose, and said, "Nitrate?"
"The minister found a lot of salt hoarded in their camp account. When they felt strange, they looked at it more and found that it was mixed with salt." Di Muyang reported to the emperor.
From the surface, nitrate and salt are easily confused. The place of use is quite different. People who march are sensitive and alert to gunpowder. The smoke filled with gunpowder, with some sulfur and charcoal, becomes gunpowder. Before I used the rusty axe and stone tools to fight the barbarity of robbery. How could not only have sharp weapons overnight, but also such dangerous raw materials?
It is difficult to doubt that there is a hidden feeling in it.
"Let the detective keep an eye on it." The emperor sullen his face and slayed.
"Yes."
When the father and son of the Di family left, Chu Kun said, "Is the emperor behind him?" Although the northern part of the country is wild, if there is any way to unify the scattered tribes, the strength should not be underestimated. If this power is cut at my big Chu country like a sharp sword again, I'm afraid it will be too peaceful for a year and a half.
Think further, if there is chaos on one side, the court must mobilize soldiers and horses to disrupt the original defense. The emperor trusted Di's family the most, and he would send generals Di to lead the army to suppress them, ranging from tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to hundreds of thousands. The other three sides of the border team can not move, the soldiers and horses can only be drawn from the state capitals and even the imperial city. In this way, the protective net inside the country is equivalent to opening a big mouth, and it is extremely easy for people with intentions to get in, causing the entire country to suffer the enemy.
"He has tolerated him again and again, he now wants to go to heaven."
The emperor was not very angry this time, and he took three consecutive shots of the dragon, and his face became red. In the past two years, the emperor's body was not as good as before. Chu Yu saw his father's lips purple, and he was breathless when he covered his chest.
"Laughing father, laughing father! Quickly pass on the doctor!"
The emperor tried to suppress the physical discomfort, and waved his hands and disliked Chu Xi: "Must be fussed, noisy headache, you go back first." He did not want Chu Qi to see too much. As a father admired by all people, the emperor hopes to always maintain a majestic image in front of his only son.
...
Chu Yan didn't know how he walked back to Mingjue Temple. When he slowed down, he saw Mei Qiandeng feeding Xiao Jian to eat in the house. Xiao Jian eats slowly, and likes not to swallow it in his mouth. Thousand lamps had the patience to coax him.
Chu Yong suddenly remembered that when he was very young, his father also coaxed him to feed and feed him, and he would also trick him. Take a bite and eat a lot of rice, and grow up quickly. Everything is like yesterday, how can people grow old in the blink of an eye.
"Prince, you are back." Mei Qiandeng called to him, "Did you eat? Would you like to eat together?"
"Great! Great!" Xiao Jian drummed his cheeks, his mouth was stuffed with rice, stuttering, and he waved his arms at Chu Yi.
His princely crown prince was moved by this picture again. One should live in the moment. He dissipated the gloom of his heart and walked quickly to sit next to Mei Qiandeng. He thought it would be great if he could eat with Mei Qiandeng every day. He twitched his nerves and clamped Mei Qiandeng's chicken legs, braised pork and fish belly, and piled them up in a bowl.
Xiao Jian's eyes followed Chu Xi's chopsticks back and forth, and finally stared at the "small hill", his eyes glowed, and Mei Qiandeng wanted to feed Xiao Jian with ease. The crown prince gave you something to eat. No his portion. "
"I can't finish it again."
"Then you have leftover food, give him more."
"..."
After eating half, Chu Yan could not help harassing Mei Qiandeng again: "If I was saying, if you are an adult in a few years, a big man living in the palace with his concubine is always inconvenient. It's easy to cause criticism. The father or I will help you choose a courtyard and let you move out. What kind of house would you want then? "
Mei Qiandeng looked down at the rice bowl for a while, and really thought carefully about this issue, "The room is best facing south, and there is an open space for me to practice my sword, not too big. Zhao Gongzi, I looked at the empty rooms , You can move to him. "
Chu Kun raised his hand silently, pressing the forehead of the pressure sudden jump. Sourly: "I asked you about your house, and you could bring me to Zhao Moran, it seems that you and the relationship are very good."
Mei Qiandeng resolutely replied, "I have nothing in the capital, but I am alone. If you can save, don't waste it."
"This world belongs to my Chu family. As long as you are loyal to you and have been by my side, you will definitely not be able to treat you badly. So don't say a small place, it is not necessary to give you a mansion." Taking a look at Mei Qiandeng, he followed the words and asked, "If Prince Ben sent you a mansion, do you want to live on the mountain or by the lake? Or the seaside? Bacheng you do not like downtown."
"I don't need a big house, Prince, you don't need to consider sending me."
Chu Yan threw the chopsticks and stalked his neck: "Who said that the Prince was really going to give it, but it was a sacrifice of teeth with you after dinner, you wouldn't use your imagination and talk about it casually?"
The woman blinked and blinked, looking quietly at Chu Chu. That clear eye fell on Chu Xi, and His Royal Highness Prince, who felt guilty, was uncomfortable, as if it would be seen by Mei Qiandeng in the next second. As for him, the more he talked about the surface, the more hesitant, and he stared at Mei Qiandeng: "If you don't say it, pull it down, like a girl."
Mei Qiandeng was thinking, the little general said that the prince had become different from before. She still couldn't see the difference. It wasn't as difficult to serve, saying that the wind was rain. Well, probably the young general hasn't seen the prince for a long time, goodbye for a long time, the emotions control his eyes, and he doesn't see the essence of the prince.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Chu Yan thought that Mei Qiandeng would not answer such a boring question, and was feeling embarrassed, hesitating to let go. But I heard Mei Qiandeng said: "One day, if the prince wants to send me a big house, I will choose one in Qiyang City. I heard that the hills outside Qiyang City are plum blossoms. When the Chinese New Year comes, I will With six elder brothers, six uncles, and father and mother in the past to admire the plum, the house is really not small, and the location is also good. My father and mother like to lively. "
Mei Qiandeng's scrutiny made Chu Yi speechless for a moment. The Chu family of the Mei family have all come into contact, especially the uncle who is full of the heart of Mei Da's house, which makes Chu Xu feel very kind. At this time, listening to the description of Mei Qiandeng, Chu Yan had a sense of sight in his mind, and everyone in the city was lively and happy in Qiyang City.
"... Cheng, you have performed well in front of Prince Ben. The Prince Ben who was serving is happy. It is not impossible to send such a big house to your house."
Chu Yun's mood turned cloudy and sunny, and he was about to take chopsticks for dinner again. As soon as Mei Qiandeng put the chopsticks on the table, people stood up and picked up the sword before leaving.
"Oh, oh, oh, where are you going! Prince Ben hasn't finished eating yet, how can he leave and understand the rules !!"
"Xiao Jian is scratching his crotch. I'll pee him."
Eh? !!
"How do you pee?" The boy holding the sword made him pee? Chu Yan's brain made up this picture, his face turned black instantly. He remembered that he had been pushed down into the lake before, and Mei Qiandeng rescued him and had to pull her to urinate on the mountain.
Chu Yan's brain was wide open. If Mei Qiandeng him at that time, that little hand held his boy chicken ...
When the filthy man raised his eyebrows and returned to God with ease, where was the figure of Mei Qiandeng and Xiaojian in the room.
"Small mirror! In the future, Xiaojian will pee. You must pee him, but you ca n’t call it Mei Qiandeng! If you let Prince Ben know that she also urinates Xiao Jian, Prince Ben will make you incontinence!
Little mirror :? ? ? !! !! !!
