After bidding farewell to the Northern Xia delegation, Jiang Chen and others did not return directly to Beijing, but chose to stay in Ningzhou for a few days.
Other officials in Jingguo were very puzzled by this.
Everyone wanted to find Jiang Chen to find out, but no one knew where he was.
Heavy troops in the town.
Jiang Chen and Zhong Liyu walked slowly through this important border town.
It was quiet all around, and some people who occasionally passed by on the road were all gray-haired people and walking in a hurry.
"You really want to let me go?"
"What? Are you regretting it?"
Jiang Chen looked at Zhong Liyu and said with some surprise.
At this point, he didn't know what the girl was still hesitating about.
Is it possible that there is someone in the capital that she misses?
"That's not..."
Zhong Liyu prolonged his voice and did not continue speaking, but looked up not far away.
The land that had been devastated by successive wars between Jingxia and Xia.
There are still burnt black marks on it that are indelible.
"Don't worry. Since Bai San said General Zhongli is at the northern border, you will definitely find him."
"Bai San?"
"Could it be that you are talking about..."
Zhong Liyu's beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at Jiang Chen.
Tell me, you are not talking about His Majesty.
Tell me quickly.
"Don't say it, don't say it." Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously.
He naturally knew that Zhong Liyu had guessed who Bai San he was talking about was.
However, the young man refused to admit it.
Bai Bugui, you can't say that I'm ruining your reputation outside.
"It's not that I'm worried about that, but you."
"I?"
"Don't think that I don't know the reason why you stayed in Ningzhou." Zhong Liyu stared at Jiang Chen closely, as if he had seen through Jiang Chen.
"tell me the story."
"You are just worried that those people in the court will cause trouble for you. Those people are indeed very annoying, very annoying."
Zhong Liyu frowned as he spoke.
It seemed that he was brought into Jiang Chen's body.
The past events came to mind one by one.
The powerlessness I felt when I was young, I could only let them bully me.
However, things are much better now because she met Jiang Chen.
A person who looks a bit annoying but is very warm inside.
Although he usually looks carefree.
"They, huh, I really don't take them seriously." Jiang Chen snorted, "However, their so-called etiquette is really annoying, like an old lady's foot wraps, smelly and It’s better to hide at the border for a few days.”
"You are really a strange person."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Zhong Liyu smiled sweetly. He had seen many shameless people, but there was no one like him.
It can be said so easily.
"Two adults, it's so boring. You might as well try the wine in Chongjun Town. I guarantee that you will still miss it when you return to Shangjing."
Just as the two were about to leave for Ningzhou, Chen Zhi's voice came from behind.
"really?"
Jiang Chen suddenly became interested.
For some reason, after arriving in Chongjun Town, there was an indescribable emotion in his chest that seemed ready to burst out at any time, perhaps due to the influence of the environment here.
"Together?"
"good!"
After receiving Jiang Chen's invitation, Zhong Liyu agreed without hesitation.
She is leaving here, and she doesn't know when she will see Jiang Chen next.
Since you can't express your true feelings, let everything melt in the wine.
Once you drink it, it will be a lifelong secret.
There are no inns or restaurants in Chongjun Town.
Some are just military camps.
It has a different flavor.
Since Chen Zhi often came to inspect, there was a separate camp in Chongjun Town.
Under his arrangement, wine and food had already been prepared in the camp.
"The army is simple and crude, not as good as Ningzhou City. I hope you two don't dislike it."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "As for Governor Chen, he is not used to the fine clothes and fine food. On the contrary, these are very suitable to his taste."
Regardless of the other people's gazes, he sat down directly and tasted it.
The remaining two people sat down without any hesitation, instead of drinking and chatting.
Jiang Chen was not surprised at all when Chen Zhi was like this.
After all, he was so drunk that he was carried out by his soldiers at the Ningzhou Governor's Mansion.
Instead, it was Zhong Liyu, which quite surprised Jiang Chen.
Not surprisingly.
Our governor came in standing up and was carried out sideways.
Even though it’s July, it’s the height of summer.
The nights on the border are still a little cold, the air is full of desolation, and the wind blows, and it seems that you can still hear the whispers of the soldiers who died in battle.
On Ningzhou City.
Yang Li came to Jiang Chen quietly.
Together we looked at the thin figure going away.
"This is the first time I have seen such a courageous woman."
"You're fucking silent when you walk!"
"It's because you were so fascinated by it." Yang Li curled his lips, "You really don't understand what the little girl means to you, do you?"
"I understand, so we became sworn friends."
Yang Li was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Only you can think of this method."
"Don't look at me like that. I'm always adapting to changes. What do you know? Just learn."
How could he not know Zhong Liyu's inner thoughts, but they were destined to be in two different worlds.
Zhong Liyu put too much pressure on himself, whether he stayed in Shangjing or along the way, he could see it clearly.
The tight string in this little girl's heart never relaxed from the beginning to the end.
Only today when I was drinking, I relaxed a little bit.
If she were left by his side, she might not be happy for the rest of her life, and since she was Zhongli Juechen's daughter, there were more things waiting for her to do.
Let me and Dragon Snake take you on your own path.
The road ahead is full of thorns, very difficult, very difficult.
But it can also accelerate a person's growth. The process is painful, and the result may not be sweet. But if you don't pursue it, it will be a lifelong regret.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, the dragon and snake lowered their swords, as if bidding farewell to Zhong Liyu.
This night is destined to be a night of separation.
Yang Li also clasped his fists toward the distance.
Over the past month, he had watched Zhong Liyu's performance, and he sincerely wished her a smooth search for her father.
"In terms of sophistication, I'm afraid the old guys in the court can't compare to you."
"low profile."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Keep it in your heart, and you won't be afraid of holding it back."
"Scheming? You are too," Jiang Chen couldn't help but say. He could hardly hide anything in front of Yang Li, or was he too obvious?
"Is it possible..."
"Those guys in Mainland China who didn't keep their mouth shut have already told me the matter."
"Damn it, I'll make sure to spread their butts when I get back."
Before heading to Chongjun Town, Jiang Chen had already given instructions to Lu Da and others.
Let them go back to Beijing with the officials escorting the mission, while he has some things to do.
The people from Lu University were very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
With them as cover, Jiang Chen would naturally move much more easily, without having to fight with those Jingguo officials.
As for Yang Li...
He meows.
Even if he doesn’t tell me, he can see through it.
Having such a person around is somewhat troublesome. Find some leverage with him at high and low levels to take advantage of him.
It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
"What are you waiting for? Let's go together."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and jumped down from the city wall.
