At the beginning, neither of them reacted.

Chang Geng thought for no reason: "What are he doing with a broken flute on his body?"

Gu Yun was still wondering: "What did you fly out?"

Then the eyes of the two men fell on the weather-beaten bamboo flute that ended and cracked at the same time.

After a while, Chang Geng suddenly felt that the flute looked familiar, and Gu Yun felt like he was struck by lightning, and remembered that this thing was not from the right place!

They both started to fight almost at the same time, and Gu Yun snatched his hands. Chang Geng instinctively tightened his palms, and grabbed a bamboo flute with both hands and stood in a stalemate in the air.

Chang Geng asked innocently: "Can't you watch it?"

Gu Yun: "What's the best thing?"

After saying that, Gu Yun pulled the little bamboo flute out of Chang Geng's hand, and hurriedly put it back into his sleeves to cover it up.

Chang Geng rarely saw him guilty and couldn't help but think of the little girl who was crying in Jiangnan four years ago. She vaguely understood something, but she was a little unbelievable, so she asked indirectly: "Did it be given by someone else?"

Gu Yun said nonsense without blushing, "I peeled it myself."

"Oh," Chang Geng blinked, and after a while, he said intentionally or unintentionally, "Why do Loulan in the Western Regions also grow bamboo?"

Gu Yun: "..."

Chang Geng blinked gently, which made his eyes look like they flashed, and then he smiled and said, "The adoptive father's handicrafts are too rough. Why don't I cut them for you another day?"

Gu Yun was speechless by him, and was so embarrassed that he always felt that the boy saw it and deliberately squeezed him out, but because the matter of stealing the flute was too outrageous, he was inconvenient to attack, so he had to put away the hero's short-sniffed rabbit tail and ran away with the wind.

Chang Geng didn't chase him. He reminisces about this matter for a while, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little. He arranged the matter of Gu Yun running to the child yard to steal bamboo flutes in the early morning from beginning to end. He was suddenly filled with joy and drove vibrantly for most of the day. It was not until the sun was west that it slowly stopped.

The fragrance that had not dissipated in his heart squeezed out the Ur bones in a small corner. When the flowers fell and the water flowed red, a seed-like thought arose from below, and pulled out thousands of branches.

Chang Geng thought: "Why did he keep that?"

Keep it all the time, will you take it out occasionally to see?

Can the little adoptive father think of himself when he sees it?

Does this mean that Gu Yun has a deeper friendship with him than he has always imagined?

Can he be closer to his adopted father with a greed?

Miss Chen's calm scattered secretly floated out of the sachet. Chang Geng stared at Gu Yun's back, and was almost ruined by the four words "let it go with the flow" that echoed back and forth in his mind. He didn't dare to think too much, but he was worried about it and could not help but scratch his heart and soul and bones.

The road to escort the imperial prisoner should have been smelly and long, but unfortunately, whether it was because of the fast journey of Xuantieying or Chang Geng’s heart, they had arrived in the capital before the middle of winter.

At this time, this sensational case of the southern Xinjiang plot to rebel in the government and the opposition exploded vigorously in the depths of the imperial capital.

Sun Jiao returned to Beijing half-death, and even frightened again and again, he became ill in a blink of an eye. Emperor Long'an himself did not expect that he had just used small means to promote the order to beat the drum. The Southwest Admiral was really brave enough to rebel. He was shocked and angry and ordered a thorough investigation.

Because the case was very involved, the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War,...even the inspectors became nervous. Even Gu Yun, who had finally returned to Beijing for two days, had to calm down and was summoned to the palace for questioning every few days.

Southwest Admiral Fu Zhicheng colluded with bandits, killed officials of the court, and smuggled Zi Liujin. The intention to rebel was for sure. The bandit leader and the rebel leader were sentenced to death one after another, and were sentenced to death and family members.

The iron-blooded and fierce Emperor Long'an still refused to give up. The situation quickly became uncontrollable. He pulled out the radish and took out the mud to implicate the six central departments - those who had a close personal relationship with Fu Zhicheng, had accepted bribes, opened convenient doors for him, and even the old ministers who recommended Fu Zhicheng to the throne back then did not run away and were all implicated.

Those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, those who were dismissed from office were dismissed, and the whole capital was suppressed by gloomy suspicion.

The sky was cloudy until the end of the year, and a heavy snow fell.

This year, after bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Anding Hou handed over the black iron tiger talisman and the implementation of the drum order was a foregone conclusion. The Ministry of War quickly sent a special person to the four directions to supervise the army.

At this point, Emperor Long'an's general power was finally settled to the extreme, which was beyond the reach of Emperor Wu back then.

During the entire year, the only thing that made Li Feng less upset was probably Gu Yun's understanding of the current affairs.

As Chang Geng inferred, the emperor was given a lot of money and indeed gave Gu Yun enough face. He really promoted Shen Yi to two levels and issued an order to be the admiral of the Southwest, and at the same time appointed the Fourth Highness Li Min as King Yanbei.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Mr. Shen pulled two big gifts to block the door in the name of celebrating Anding Hou's birthday.

Mr. Shen has been resigned for many years, and there is only Shen Yi, a person who is not motivated. Shen Yi has been a freak since he was a child. He is good at studying and practicing martial arts, but he is unwilling to be obsessed with anything, so he likes to play with lighters in the yard. From the iron golems that guard the house and the large and small car lights hanging in the room, he has never been dismantled and ruined.

Although Mr. Shen firmly believes in Laozi and Zhuangzi and pays attention to everything as he wants, he must have done nothing to do with Taoism and still has some expectations for this son in his heart.

Gu Yun was called to the palace to discuss matters early in the morning and had already left. Although he was not in the capital for many years, he was very powerful and gave many gifts. There was no mistress in the Marquis's mansion. The gift list for the New Year holiday was handled by the old housekeeper. It was heard that it was Mr. Shen's gift, Chang Geng specially greeted the old housekeeper and took a curious look.

Mr. Shen himself is also a strange flower. He loves to play in his youth. He continues to play in middle age. When he is tired of playing in his later years, he starts to seek immortality and ask questions. He doesn’t care about human affairs. He has a good life to refine elixirs and brew wine. Among the gifts he gave to Gu Yun, there are no gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, antique treasures.... He gave two trucks of wine in one breath, all of which were brewed by himself.

Chang Geng was just laughing and crying. As soon as he looked up, he saw the freshly baked Southwest Admiral running over on a mess.

Mr. Shen was completely self-deciding. It was too late to chase him out when Shen Yi knew about it. Shen Yi looked at the wine cart at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, and buried his face on the horse's neck without tears, thinking, "This is too embarrassing!"

When Gu Yun came back in the evening, he was meeting his family unloading goods from the wine truck. Shen Yi noodles stood aside with a slut.

I don’t know what the emperor said to him, but Gu Yun looked faint - as long as he returns to the Marquis’ Mansion, he is usually very happy. He doesn’t laugh when he enters the door, nor does he joke with the guards guarding the door. He is probably really unhappy.

Gu Yun: "Why are you here?"

Chen Yi raised his chin and signaled him to look at the crazy wine cart: "Our old man bribed you, thank you for helping me with promotion."

Gu Yun sniffed, stepped forward and took out a jar, straightened the mud seal, stood at the door and sniffed it, and took a sip on the spot.

"Your old man brews it by himself, I will know it as soon as I smell it." Gu Yun sighed, "It just so happens that you don't leave when you come. Anyway, we have to go our separate ways if we can't leave in the first month of the year. Then we will be separated by the same place. Maybe we will meet in the Year of the Monkey and Horses in the Month. Today we have some bar with me."

Chen Yizheng had this intention and agreed happily.

Gu Yun asked again: "Where is Chang Geng?"

"kitchen."

Gu Yun paused: "What?"

"He insists on putting a bowl of noodles for you in person," Chen Yi smiled, "Uncle Wang stopped him for a long time. I think our prince is so great. He can be in front of the enemy, and he can do acupuncture when he is idle. He can sew purses by himself. Even the heavy floor in the kitchen is like walking on flat ground... If he is a girl, he will not be able to stop the Xuantie Camp from being brought to your doorstep to propose marriage."

Gu Yun frowned: "A gentleman stayed away from the kitchen and was full of nonsense."

Chen Yi saw that his face was wrong and asked, "Why, what did the emperor ask you to enter the palace?"

Gu Yun was silent for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "The Emperor wants to deal with Feng Hangong."

Chen Yi was surprised: "What!"

Mr. Fenghan's surname is Zhang, and his courtesy name is Fenghan. He has been the first seat of Lingshu Court for eighteen years. When Chen Yi was still in Lingshu Court, he worked under him. Now he is in his sixties and has been in Lingshu Court all his life. He has never married any wives, concubines, children and grandchildren. He is not as good as a man.

I heard that the maids and servants who served tea in his house were all iron, and except for himself, he was just an old dog who was about to die. But I heard that, let alone others, even Chen Yi had never been there. Mr. Fenghan was strange in nature and did not want to come to guests at home. This old man spent his life on the steel armor of the fire machine. Except for Gu Yun who reorganized the Xuantie Camp, he stood up clearly and did not even bother with the government at other times. How could such a person who was not arguing with the emperor?

Chen Yi: "Why?"

Gu Yun: "He submitted a memorial yesterday and opposed the "Palm Law". The emperor was furious."

Chen Yi: "He has always opposed it. He has never stopped since the day the Palm Law was introduced. I heard from my old peers that he wrote a memorial for three days, regardless of the weather. The emperor ignored him. Why did he suddenly..."

The palm order method is the law that restricts the folk long-arm masters. When it first came out, it made people heated discussions, but the uproar caused by the drum beat was overwhelmed.

"The temper of Feng Hangong... Oh, you didn't see him in the past written in the memorial of the day. It was not the long-armed master who restricted the people's wisdom. If this continues, the country will not be a country. I waited for the foreigners to fly clouds and fog to lock the border gate of my Daliang. I saw that he was almost pointing at the emperor's nose and talking about the traitor. In fact, the emperor did not have the same knowledge as him. It was because the incident in southern Xinjiang was caused this time. The emperor tied a knot in his heart. He didn't untied it for a winter, and the old man hit the muzzle."

When Gu Yun said this, he paused and shook his head: "Before leaving today, the emperor called me and said, 'I have asked me that I have worked diligently since I succeeded to the throne, and I have been unable to rest day and night, why is there no peace in the country?' - What else can I say?"

In just a few years since Emperor Long'an ascended the throne, his brothers colluded with Japanese people to rebel, and then the officials in the border colluded with bandits to rebel. Each piece seemed like a great ridicule. The purple and gold market that has been repeatedly banned has become a heart-wrenching problem for him.

Chen Yi didn't say anything, and the two walked side by side to the inner courtyard - they knew in their hearts that although Gong Feng Han was trying to die, his words were not unreasonable.

Later, the civilian long-arm division was restricted. From then on, how many new technologies can be produced in the year by relying solely on the Lingshu Academy? What's more, the Lingshu Academy always takes military steel armor first. What room for civilian technology to develop in the future?

Chen Yi: "Can you keep him?"

Gu Yun looked up at the twilight sky at the end of the imperial capital, sighed and said, "I don't know, I'll try my best."

Chen Yi nodded. After a while, he suddenly said, "Master, I grew up in the capital, but sometimes I really feel breathless."

Gu Yun handed the jar of wine without saying a word.

Chen Yi took a sip of his own brewed wine in the jar, and was so harsh that he was hit by the strong wine. He reached out and patted Gu Yun on the back: "We are all going to celebrate your birthday. Don't be stern when you go in later."

The two of them stood in the corridor, and they divided the jar of wine one by one.

Alcohol can relieve worries, passion, and beauty. It can make people put the big things in front of you and leave them aside and relax for a short time.

However, as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Gu Yun was still shocked.

I saw that many scrapped iron golems in the Hou Mansion were all turned out by Ge Chen. I don’t know how long it took him to repair them. A group of big black faces were moving as usual, flying, and unloading armor and weapons in one row, lined up, each holding two satin fans, and dancing yangge in the yard with a slight fork. As the only flesh and blood body, Cao Niangzi was leading the dance in red and green.

Gu Yun: "..."

Chen Yi shook his head and sighed: "What a genius."

Gu Yun: "…what?"

Chen Yi put his shoulder on his back and said, "That boy Ge Chen is such a genius. When I think of the first lighter steel armor that the genius handled back then, I just... tsk, I wish I could snatch him to the southern border."

Gu Yun: "..."

I always feel that General Chen’s words are not strange.

Chang Geng did make a bowl of birthday noodles for Gu Yun. Last time he just beat an egg and even beat the eggshell. Unexpectedly, he treated him with admiration for three days. When he came back to cook, his level was simply incomparable.

It was done so well that Gu Yun didn't mention anything disappointing in front of him, such as "a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen", and almost ate the bowl together.

After three bowls of yellow soup, even the whole yard is lawless.

Chen Yi sighed: "For so many years, you have been there from the capital to the Western Regions, to the northern border, and then to Loulan. But suddenly there is no more, and I feel bad."

Gu Yun: "Stop talking nonsense, drink."
