 Hearing this servant's announcement, the hairs all over Chang Kuo's body immediately stood up and he entered a state of top alert.

He subconsciously looked around the mourning hall, as if looking for a place to hide. The only option seemed to be the coffin parked in the hall, but that was too offensive and disrespectful. The moment the thought flashed across his mind, Chang Kuo was there. I recited Amitabha with regret in my heart.

So he took his daughter's arm and walked out, urging: "Let's go, Dad still has something to discuss with you."

However, he hurriedly hurriedly and slowly, when he left the mourning hall and stepped down the stone steps, he bumped into the mother and daughter of Princess Xuan'an.

Chang Kuo paused, his expression frozen on his face.

The eldest princess looked at him slowly from head to toe with arrogant and lazy eyes.

Chang Kuo was upset by her sight. The upset showed on his face, and he frowned but said nothing.

The eldest princess also had no intention of speaking, and the two of them seemed to be silently adhering to some tacit rule - the one who speaks first loses.

Seeing this situation, Chang Suining said a few words in his heart.

Three years old…

There can't be more than these two people together.

Break it into pieces, each one is one and a half years old.

With two one-and-half-year-olds here, the important task of speaking naturally fell on her and Li Tong.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Sister Tongtong."

"I've met General Chang." Li Tong saluted Chang Kuo and looked at Chang Suining: "Sister Chang is going back?"

Chang Suining nodded to her.

"Ning Ning, please wait a moment." The eldest princess's eyes also fell on Chang Sui Ning, with a gentle expression: "Don't be in a hurry to go back. When I go in to burn incense, I have something to say to you."

Chang Sui Ning naturally nodded in agreement.

The eldest princess then took Li Tong to the mourning hall to express condolences.

"Let's go." Chang Kuo pulled his daughter up.

Chang Sui Ning did not move: "...I agreed to wait until Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess comes out."

"What are you waiting for her to do? What kind of serious thing can she do!" Chang Kuo whispered without any scruple, "This person is not a kind person, so don't interact with her in the future to avoid being led astray!"

Chang Suining looked at him, lowered his voice, and asked curiously: "This is my biological aunt. Dad knows her better than me?"

Chang Kuo's expression condensed... He actually forgot about this relationship for a moment!

The outsider is actually himself!

"Then let me go...!" He let go of His Highness, his daughter, and left on his own.

But he was grabbed by Chang Suining.

Chang Suining dragged the man to the corridor. Combined with Chang Kuo's expression, it was as if there was a rope in his hand, dragging a stubborn cow.

Arriving at the corridor, Chang Suining looked at the stubborn cow: "The eldest princess has helped a lot by personally leading troops to support Hezhou. Wouldn't it be rude for my father to avoid her like this?"

Chang Kuo said confidently: "She is helping Hezhou and she is also thinking about Xuanzhou. What does it have to do with me, Chang Kuo?"

Didn't that woman already say that when you beat a dog, you have to look at the neighbors!

After all, he was not the beaten dog she said!

"But I invited him here." Chang Suining looked at him: "Even if we don't mention this, he helped save my brother before."

"That's not called helping! It's her own—" Chang Kuo said, his voice suddenly paused for a moment, and then he said: "She was allowed to do things by herself, and I didn't ask her for help!"

Chang Sui Ning was speechless for a moment and said, "If dad continues to be so unreasonable and troublesome, I won't be able to help but think too much."

"What are you thinking!" Chang Kuo's expression suddenly changed: "I just can't get along with her... We don't get along, and we don't agree with each other!"

"Do you still know her horoscope?" Chang Suining stared at him: "What, did you secretly date her?"

"...!" Chang Kuo's expression twisted: "What if the eight poles can't be hit!"

"I don't know what the quarrel between my father and the eldest princess is, but it is always a fact that I am helped by others. If my father is like this, he will make people laugh." Chang Sui Ning said helplessly: "I will also be embarrassed."

Chang Kuo's expression was complicated.

As a subordinate, if you ask your master to embarrass him, wouldn't that be disloyal and unjust? How can I still want such a subordinate?

"Didn't you agree to make plans for the future?" Chang Sui Ning said again: "For a person as important as the eldest princess, it's not advisable for dad to flatter her, but it's not appropriate to reject her and make enemies, right?"

Chang Kuo clenched his fist again and swallowed those "disloyal and unjust" words.

At this moment, the eldest princess Xuan'an had walked out of the mourning hall. She looked down the corridor and saw that Chang Kuo was still there. She immediately looked away, walking gracefully and elegantly.

"Your Highness." Chang Suining saluted.

Chang Kuo turned sideways and looked outside the corridor.

The eldest princess nodded and asked warmly: "Are your injuries better?"

"Much better, they are just superficial injuries." Chang Sui Ning said: "Thanks to His Highness personally coming to the rescue this time, otherwise Hezhou would have fallen into Xu Zhengye's hands."

I have said thank you many times in the past two days, but I always have to find something to talk about at this moment... After all, her existence at this moment is just one part of the silent rivalry between the two.

The eldest princess's trip was obviously to express her condolences, but it was probably because she had chosen the right time to meet her by chance.

As for "talking to her if I have something to say", it is clear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

"That's not right." Faced with Chang Sui Ning's words, the eldest princess took it seriously: "If he hadn't learned that Xuanzhou troops were moving, Xu Zhengye wouldn't have rushed there in person that day. If he hadn't Come on, there is no suspense in this battle, we have already won."

Chang Sui Ning: "But without His Highness' intervention, Xu Zhengye would not have given up on Hezhou so easily and retreated to Jiangning."

"But the reason why I can come is because of your letter." The eldest princess looked at the girl in front of her with real praise in her eyes: "The credit for this is all yours...You kid, at such a young age It's really remarkable that he has such thorough planning and such clear sense of justice.”

Chang Sui Ning accepted the compliment shamelessly and bridged the gap with self-awareness: "...it was all taught well by my father."

After the bridge was built, the eldest princess looked at Chang Kuo naturally.

Aware of that line of sight, Chang Kuo was still looking out of the corridor, but he showed a bit of silent pride: "My daughter, she was born."

The eldest princess: "Yes, it can only be natural. It doesn't look like it can be taught by the elders in the family."

Hearing this, Chang Kuo turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"

Insinuating that his father cannot raise such a good daughter, right?

The eldest princess asked Youyou: "What can I mean? I'm just echoing what you said, but it's wrong?"

Chang Kuo looked annoyed.

The eldest princess glanced at him: "Take it easy, lest you faint from anger again. This is not worth it."

Chang Kuo stretched out his hand and pointed at her: "You..."

"Ah..." Li Tong suddenly made a sound of surprise and hurriedly said to Chang Suining: "Sister Chang, I suddenly remembered that I have something to show you!"

With that said, he took Chang Sui Ning and left the place of right and wrong.

After leaving the corridor, Li Tong rummaged around in his sleeves, but couldn't find anything.

Chang Suining began to feel embarrassed for her.

Li Tong was anxious, turned his eyes, stretched out his hand to grab a handful of snow, rubbed it hastily in his hands, and held it up to Chang Suining with a smile: "Sister Chang, look at the little bunny I pinched for you, do you like it?"

Chang Suining took it: "...I like it."

In the corridor over there, there was a faint sound of quarreling.

After hearing this, Li Tong hurriedly said: "Sister Chang, don't worry. I used to hear Aunt Chuanzhu at my mother's side say that my mother and General Chang have a close friendship, but they often quarrel!"

He smiled unconcernedly and said: "As the saying goes, quarrels at the head of the bed end at the end of the bed..."

As he spoke, his voice paused.

Then he changed his mind: "Ahem, I mean, beating means scolding means..."

So far, another meal.

She vividly explained why the mouth runs in front and the brain chases behind.

And it's very difficult for my brain to catch up.

Looking at each other, Chang Sui Ning was silent. Li Tong's mouth trembled, and he smiled and said: "...In short, they are all talkative, so it's okay to bicker."

Chang Suining nodded: "...understood."

If I keep talking, this sister's mouth and brain will eventually be forced to collapse.

Over there, Chang Kuo didn't want the juniors to hear what they shouldn't hear, so he dragged Princess Xuan'an further away to talk.

When Chang Kuo stopped, the eldest princess shook off his hand in time and yelled angrily: "What do you want to do!"

"I want to ask you what you want to do!" Chang Kuo said angrily: "You kidnapped my children while I was not in the capital, and now you have detained my son... Li Rong, you went back on your word and took advantage of others. "Danger, you know what etiquette, justice and shame are!"

"I didn't know." The eldest princess smiled half-heartedly: "The first day you met me?"

Chang Kuo was so angry that he blushed: "...The most sinful thing I have done in my life is knowing you!"

"What, is it wrong for me to send people to Beijing to rescue him? Or is it wrong for me to take him to Xuanzhou to recuperate?" The eldest princess firmly gained the emotional upper hand: "I am a good person doing good things with good intentions." "A good person?" Chang Kuo laughed angrily: "Isn't that right? I go to the temple to burn incense just for fun. If I really want to worship Buddha, it depends on you... Good man, you are such a good man who is struck by lightning!"

The eldest princess didn't care at all what he said, she even thought about playing with the wintersweet that was covered with snow.

Chang Kuo lowered his voice and became even more angry: "It was you who threw the child to me without saying a word. I managed to raise him by pooping and peeing, but you wanted to pick it up and rob him. In the past, I told you, there was no way!"

Seeing that he was so angry that he seemed to be about to push him away, the eldest princess sighed and comforted her because she didn't want her child to lose his father too early: "When did I say that I would rob him from you? Look how scared you are."

"Didn't I see that you were busy with the war, so I took care of it for you temporarily? Such a big child, he will go back after recovering from his injuries in the future, can I still tie him up and prevent him from leaving?"

Snow fell on the plum blossom branches on Chang Kuo's shoulders, and she kindly raised her hand to brush it away for him.

Chang Kuo opened her hand and stepped back with a sullen face: "What are you pretending to do? It's obvious that you just want to break into his heart! Don't think that I don't know about your dirty tricks!"

As he was retreating while speaking, his lame foot tripped on a stone, and he almost fell down as he swayed.

The eldest princess quickly supported him.

The two looked at each other.

Chang Sui Ning, who "accidentally" walked with Li Tong to admire plum blossoms not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - there are still so many rocks in the world.

Chang Kuo threw the man away, dragged his injured leg, and limped to sit on a boulder.

The eldest princess took something out of her sleeve and threw it at him.

Chang Kuo caught it and saw that it was a medicine bottle. He knew it and asked, "What a broken thing!"

"Arsenic!" The eldest princess was also angry: "It will save trouble if I poison you!"

Chang Kuo sneered, poured out a few pills and swallowed them hard: "If the poison doesn't kill you, I'll tell you that you have no ability!"

The eldest princess looked at him sideways and really smiled this time: "Even at this age, I still have such a bad temper..."

Chang Kuo glared at her, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to her, and sat there without talking.

Soon after swallowing the pill, the pain in my leg was relieved.

The eldest princess took two steps closer: "Why don't you say anything? Are you poisoned to death?"

Chang Kuo raised his eyes to look at her and snorted: "He's not dead yet!"

"If you're not dead, please speak up." The eldest princess squeezed over and sat down next to him.

Chang Kuo frowned and moved aside, turning away from her.

"Since you are going back to Shouzhou next, you should know that it is safest to stay with me for the rest of your life." The eldest princess' voice softened: "The doctor said, he is injured and can be taken care of. If he stays, What kind of sequelae will last a lifetime? It will be too late for you to regret it. "

Chang Kuo frowned for a long time before compromising: "It's not impossible to leave you there temporarily, and it will be easier for you for a few days, but you must swear to me that you are not allowed to say things to him that you shouldn't say!"

"Okay, I swear, I will never talk to him about the past again before I make an agreement with you." The eldest princess was helpless, but also a little melancholy. She was at fault for what happened back then, and she really didn't know how to deal with her child. Open that mouth.

Chang Kuo was dissatisfied: "If you mention this verbally, what kind of oath is this? You swear a poisonous oath to me!"

The eldest princess frowned and looked at him: "... Chang, you must be sick!"

So they started arguing again.

This night, the moonlight and snow light were both clear.

Two days later, as the snow melted, Hezhou City showed its original appearance again.

This day was the day when the father and son of Governor Yun were buried. The whole city was deserted, and paper money was scattered all over the long street.

The coffin was buried, amidst the cries, and just when it was about to be filled, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

The white-faced Mrs. Lou wanted to hit the tombstone and be buried here with her husband.

Chang Suining and Lady Shepherd's Purse stopped her.

"...I once swore that when I have fulfilled my duties, I will follow Master Lang." Mrs. Lou burst into tears: "Now it's time to fulfill my promise."

Everyone gathered around to persuade him.

Yun Gui was frightened and cried, rushing forward to hug her mother, screaming "Aniang" heartbreakingly.

Mrs. Lou burst into tears.

This wave has not calmed down yet, there are noisy people over there, and there is chaos again.

A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, covered in snow-white body, held Lord Yun Dalang's spiritual tablet, ignored the persuasion, jumped into the tomb, and lay down on Lord Yun Dalang's coffin.

Mrs. Lou was shocked, and with the support of Mrs. Shepherd's Purse, she quickly walked over: "...Xin'er, what are you doing!"

This girl's name is Huo Xin, and she is the unmarried wife of her eldest son. When her eldest son passed away, she wanted to annul the marriage, but the girl refused to comply no matter what. She was willing to marry to a cold tablet, and she also wanted to do it. The widow of the eldest son.

Huo Xin has a resolute temperament. She was also among the Detachment of Women when they defended the city this time, and she still had a wound cloth tied on her forehead.

At this moment, she was lying upright on the coffin: "My daughter-in-law must also follow her husband!"

Mrs. Lou said anxiously: "How can this happen? Get up quickly!"

"Mom, if I don't follow, won't I look less loyal than my mother? A daughter-in-law is naturally competitive, how can she lag behind others?" Huo Xin closed his eyes: "And if the mother is gone, the daughter-in-law will be left alone to take care of the governor's mansion. It's a mess, it's better to die than worry about it!”

"You kid..." Mrs. Lou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing this, Chang Sui Ning said at the right moment: "What Mrs. Yun said is not completely unreasonable. What she just said was wrong. Hezhou City is in ruins and is waiting to be revitalized. Erlangjun and Sanlangjun have lost their father and brother. How can they lose their mother again?" ? The lady's duties are far from being fulfilled.”

Mrs. Lou looked stunned.

Yun Hui came over with red eyes and looked at his mother: "Mother may not listen to what others say, but mother must listen to Mrs. Chang's words - my mother's life has been hanging by a thread on the battlefield several times, all because of Mrs. Chang's risk-taking efforts. To save him, my mother has followed my father several times. Now that my mother's life was given by a benefactor, how can I talk about committing suicide?”

Mrs. Lou burst into tears when she heard this and looked at Chang Sui Ning.

"Madam, there are still many things you can do." Chang Sui Ning said, "It won't be too late to reunite with Governor Yun in a hundred years."

After repeated persuasion, Mrs. Lou finally nodded.

In fact...she also felt that she didn't have to die...

Now and then, especially after passing through the gates of **** several times, I can better understand the meaning of life and death.

She is not afraid of death, but she is not afraid of living either - when she watched her husband's eldest son leave before her eyes, she was very afraid of living.

But I swore an oath before.

Everyone in the city knows...

If she didn't die, wouldn't it appear that she, the governor's wife, was dishonest and greedy for life and afraid of death?

She was worried that someone would make a fuss about it later, so she acted half-truth and half-false.

Mrs. Lou looked at her husband's tombstone with tears in her eyes - if her husband knew better, would he laugh at her or praise her?

Huo Xing quickly climbed up from the coffin, held Chang Suining's hand stretched out to her, and came up from the tomb.

Their eyes met, Chang Suining and Huo Xin blinked, and Huo Xin also raised an eyebrow at her knowingly.

The next day, outside the governor's office, when Chang Suining was about to leave Hezhou City, Huo Xin also held her hand tightly and was reluctant to let go: "...the gate of Hezhou City will always be open to Mrs. Chang. Mrs. Chang remembers to come back often. have a look."

After hearing his sister-in-law say what he wanted to say, Yun Hui stopped talking and just said: "If you can be of any use to me, please send me a message at any time."

Chang Sui Ningdu nodded.

Mrs. Lou also repeatedly asked her to write letters from time to time.

Then, together with the people of Hezhou, they sent Chang Kuo and his daughter out of the city.

Behind Chang Kuo were the soldiers he had brought with him. There had been nearly 20,000 soldiers before, but now there were only just over 10,000.

But Chang Suining had a few more people behind him.

They were several women, headed by Lady Shepherd's Purse, who had a woodcutter on her waist.

Last night, Lady Shepherd's Purse and the other three came to Chang Suining and expressed their intention to follow them, asking Chang Suining to take them with him.

Women also have ambitions in their eyes. They have not yet had the opportunity to broaden their horizons. Their ideas are naturally simple and unpolished, and what they say has nothing to do with righteousness. It is more about the desire to break free from the shackles and the yearning to become stronger. They said - "I heard that Mrs. Chang is going back to Shouzhou, and we also want to follow Mrs. Chang and try what it's like for a woman to make contributions!"

Before leaving the house this morning, Mrs. Shepherd's Purse waved to her two teenage sons and her husband who dared to be angry but dared not speak out -

"Let's go, just wait at home for me to make great achievements, and then I will take your chickens and dogs to heaven when I come back!"

On this day, the sun was very bright and we were on our way.

Today is also 5,000 words! (Looking at the backend word count, I have an average of 4,000 words per day this month, and the debt for leave can be considered paid off.) The monthly tickets will be cleared at the end of the month. I ask everyone to support my list with your tickets. I really appreciate it. gratitude!
