Chen Jingke was shocked when he heard this and quickly opened the letter to take a closer look.
I broke out in a cold sweat after reading it.
He had only thought about avoiding Xue Shanya before, but he never expected that such a big mistake would happen in the family after he left.
It happened that there was a war going on here, and my grandmother didn't want to worry my father, so she didn't even ask anyone to deliver the letter.
If the concubine hadn't missed her grandmother, sent someone to visit her, and then asked the prince to take Lady Tong there to treat her grandmother...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingke also bowed to Li Zian and said, "Jingke will never forget the great kindness that the prince has shown to the Chen family and the Chen family army."
Chen Guosheng frowned slightly after hearing this, not satisfied that he also included Chen Jiajun.
Although Prince Rui's Mansion did help Chen Jiajun a lot, but...
Chen Guosheng sighed silently in his heart.
It was not impossible for him to guess Prince Rui's plans.
But even though the court's behavior was so chilling, he still adhered to his duty as a courtier in his heart.
I guess there must be some female cadres who are lining their own pockets. After my side wins a big victory, I will ask the emperor for a copy of these people.
After getting through this most difficult period, I can return double the things from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Chen Guosheng himself felt that such an idea was too selfish, so he never revealed it to his son.
But what can he do!
If it were just the Chen family, of course he could seek refuge in Prince Rui's Mansion at any time.
But the nearly 100,000 soldiers under his command, although they were called the Chen Family Army, were not private soldiers of the Chen Family, but belonged to the imperial court.
It would be easy for him to change his mind, but with so many people's lives and futures weighing on him, he didn't dare to make an easy decision.
Fortunately, Li Zian came to make contact first and test Chen Guosheng's attitude, so he did not exploit the loopholes in Chen Jingke's words.
He is here to show his kindness, not to force others.
What's more, if the Chen family and his son rushed to join him as soon as he arrived, he might still have doubts in his heart.
"General Chen, I have no other intention of coming here this time. I just send a message to Mrs. Chen, hoping that Jing may return to Sanli City."
Chen Jingke immediately said: "Master, I will go back with you."
Chen Guosheng was quite speechless towards his son, but he didn't say anything. He just said, "You have to take a rest first no matter what.
"I'll ask someone to prepare a place for you. You should take a shower and change your clothes first. I'll take care of you in the evening."
After asking someone to take Li Zian down to rest, Chen Guosheng said: "Jingke, are you a little too careless in what you said today?"
"Dad, I said that on purpose." Chen Jingke changed his honest demeanor before, sat down and said, "There are many things that it is not convenient for you to say. Only I can speak so that I can test the prince's thoughts."
Chen Guosheng said noncommittally: "Then what did you find out?"
Chen Jingke touched his nose when he heard this, not knowing what to say.
He had observed carefully when he spoke just now, but felt that Li Zian had no emotional changes at all.
Chen Guosheng snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the prince is you?
"Although you two are of the same age, don't forget that Prince Rui has been in charge of Huguang's political affairs in the past few years since he was bedridden.
"You must know better than me at home how Huguang has developed in recent years.
"If you could deceive his truth with this little trick of yours, Prince Rui wouldn't send him here."
"I really didn't expect that he would come alone like this." Chen Jingke said with emotion, "I originally thought that as the prince's son, he must be used to being pampered, but I didn't expect that he is quite courageous."
"There are so many things you didn't expect."
Chen Guosheng looked at his son and reflected on whether his education was a bit of a failure.
I usually just focus on catching him in martial arts, but it seems I should also teach him some sophistication and sophistication.
The city government's strategy will do the trick.
"Dad, does Prince Rui really want to...?" Chen Jing did not dare to say the two most crucial words, but raised his finger to the sky.
Even so, Chen Guosheng was so frightened that he quickly looked around and made sure that only the father and son were in the tent before he angrily shouted: "Why are you so crazy!"
"Dad, there are no outsiders here. I will go home with the prince soon. What are your plans? You should let me know, right?"
Chen Guosheng was speechless immediately, and after a while he sighed and said, "If only Concubine Fengrong was willing to compete..."
Chen Jingke interrupted him and said, "Dad, what's the use of these sesame seeds and rotten millet now?
"I think this matter must be related to Prince Rui's injury a few years ago. He has been staying in Huguang with peace of mind. There is no need to start planning these things before he recovers from his illness."
Chen Guosheng glanced at his son and suddenly asked: "Why do I feel that you are already biased in your heart?"
"Not at all." Chen Jingke muttered, "I didn't realize it when I was at home before, but this time when I came to the army, I saw everyone on the front line fighting the enemy bravely like they were risking their lives, but what the imperial court sent was basically Cotton-padded clothes that can't keep out the cold and armor that can see through as soon as you put them on...
"What's more, the medicine boy and wound medicine sent by the prince saved countless lives.
"I don't understand the trade-offs and fights in your court. I only know that the lives of our Chen family army are all given by others..."
"Okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes." Chen Guosheng stood up, "Go to the kitchen and give instructions, and try to find a way to cook more dishes tonight."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said: "You don't have to accompany me tonight. I'll talk to the prince alone."
"Yes!" Chen Jingke said goodbye and walked out of Chen Guosheng's tent. He called the soldiers on the side and asked about the tent where Li Zi'an lived, and went straight to find it.
Chen Jingke summoned his people to guard outside Li Zian's tent, and then he bent down and got in.
Li Zian had just come out of the shower. He was only wearing a middle coat, and his hair was wet and still dripping.
The dust was washed away, but the birthmark on his face was still there.
Chen Jingke took a look curiously.
"Yours is quite strong. The stuff developed by the military can't last so long. It will fall off after just two washes."
Li Zian leaned back and said to him, "What are you doing so close? Your face looks so ugly up close!"
"..."
Looking at Li Zian's face that was still handsome even though it had a large birthmark, Chen Jingke couldn't refute it for a moment.
He took a few steps back and sat on the stool and said, "My father's attitude is still the same, he is always loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
"Now that the imperial court has reached this point, he still feels that it is just the female officials who are hindering it, and it has nothing to do with his good emperor."
"Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is a good thing." Li Zian wiped his hair, looking confident.
"Yesterday's second update, I forgot to post it, embarrassing."
