20demayo Chapter 225 Red Tassel
Chapter 225 Red Tassel
To survive, one must agree to join the army.
The emperor's complexion improved slightly, and Xiao Zhennan said in time: "Master Chen, please relax."
"The Red Flower Society is just a remnant. They are easy to deal with. Besides, I won't let you go into battle. You can just escort food and grass for me and rest in the rear."
"As long as I'm here, I'll never put you in any danger."
Chen Changan nodded vigorously. He could only follow Xiao Zhennan.
Xiao Zhennan kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the money has arrived. Give me five days to mobilize the troops. After five days, I will quietly set out."
"I promise that I will fight to decide the outcome and ensure that no one in Chu dares to rebel again!"
The emperor was still worried and could only nod.
"Xiao Qing, I exiled you for twenty years. Have you ever blamed me in your heart?"
Xiao Zhennan knelt on the ground and shook his head vigorously.
In the past, he was so arrogant and talented that he even dared to touch the prince's women, let alone the prince's most beloved princess!
Let’s put it this way, the emperor didn’t kill him, which shows that he is kind-hearted!
"I dare not!"
Xiao Zhennan said from the bottom of his heart: "The passion of this old minister has never cooled. After all, I will assist the emperor and protect the great Chu for eternity!"
The emperor sighed, shook his head and smiled, "Alright, I know you are loyal and righteous, just like you were twenty years ago."
"Go ahead, follow me to the night temple."
"He went to pick up ***, you go and see... She has been there all these years."
Xiao Zhennan was trembling all over. Just as he was about to refuse, the emperor said, "Stop talking. Kneel down and pay your respects."
Chen Changan quickly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and waited for a while before he saw Xiao Zhennan coming out.
He and Xiao Zhennan got on the carriage. Xiao Zhennan was obviously a little disappointed. Chen Changan smiled and said, "Sir Xiao, the emperor has not blamed you, so why are you still unhappy?"
"Master Xiao is young and romantic, and is truly a role model for our generation. Great."
Chen Changan gave a thumbs up and Xiao Zhennan's face turned red.
He took out a wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and handed it to Chen Changan.
Chen Changan didn't hesitate and took a sip.
Because it was still early, the two did not go straight to the temple for a night tour after coming out, but instead sat down in a restaurant.
Neither of them spoke. You had a bowl, I had a bowl, and we drank happily.
Under the influence of alcohol, the two people were no longer strangers.
Xiao Zhennan did not hide it from Chen Changan and told him his story.
After a long while, Xiao Zhennan, who was enjoying the talk, laughed loudly and said, "Brother Chen, you just laugh at me!"
Xiao Zhennan was a little bit arrogant: "When I was young, I was arrogant and looked down on everyone. I was so bold that I actually did such a wrong thing!"
"The Emperor is wise. He exiled me for twenty years. Twenty years!"
"How many twenty years are there in a lifetime? I regret it!"
Xiao Zhennan held the jar of wine and gulped it down.
Chen Changan had nothing to comfort Xiao Zhennan. He was not born at that time and didn't know the inside story.
After finishing the wine, Xiao Zhennan said in a suppressed tone, "The Emperor asked me to go see Concubine Li. Tell me, how can I have the face to see her?"
"I am prepared to die in order to repay the Emperor for not killing me!"
Chen Changan raised his middle finger at Xiao Zhennan, despising him.
Xiao Zhennan didn't understand what he meant. Chen Changan shook his head and said, "To be honest, Lao Xiao, you are really a bitch. You finally survived, but now you still want to die?"
"You are very selfish. You only think about how you have been doing these years. Have you ever thought about Lady Li?"
"You said she really likes you, and you really like her, so why don't you charge for love?"
"Women are different from men. They think fame, wealth and status are fleeting. What they want is a stable life."
"One room, two people, three meals, four seasons, and seeing the world's prosperity, that's enough!"
Chen Changan stood up shakily: "Unlike you, a man who only knows how to escape, I despise you mentally."
After Chen Changan finished speaking, he boarded the boat and headed towards the Night Tour Temple.
Watching Chen Changan walking away, Xiao Zhennan's face gradually turned red as he carefully thought about what he said.
One room, two people, three meals, four seasons, see all the prosperity in the world!
Yes, Chen Changan is right.
Even if Concubine Li wanted to beat him to death, he would accept it!
admit!
"Boatman, start the boat!"
Xiao Zhennan said with an unstoppable momentum: "Night tour of the temple, I want to ask clearly!"
……
Chen Changan came to the Night Tour Temple first and asked Lao Ma, only to find out that *** was chanting scriptures in the main hall these days.
Chen Changan tiptoed to the main hall and met the little Taoist priest who had interpreted the divination for them that day.
The young Taoist priest held Chen Changan back and said, "Sir, this is not my fault!"
"After you left that day, the woman insisted on asking me how to turn misfortune into fortune. I had no idea at the moment, so I told her to recite the Jade Emperor Sutra a hundred times."
"This girl is also a fool. She really stayed to study."
Chen Changan shrugged, a little speechless.
He looked towards the main hall and saw a Taoist priest kneeling respectfully in front of the statue, with a Taoist nun beside him.
This Taoist nun looks no more than forty years old. Perhaps because she is pure and unselfish, the years have left no trace on her face.
She has a pretty face, eyebrows like distant black ink, and a slightly upward curve that reveals a sense of coolness. Her eyes are like a clear spring, as if they can see through the world's vanity.
Seeing that the mantra was finished, the Taoist nun shook her head gently and said, "Miss, you look extraordinary. Are you... someone from the palace?"
*** nodded slightly and said suspiciously: "I see that the Taoist nun behaves in a proper manner. Could it be that she is also here with me?"
The Taoist nun put her hands together, shook her head and said, "How can I be that lucky?"
"My Buddhist name is Wangqing. I wanted to become a monk here 20 years ago, but the abbot said that my worldly ties were not yet resolved and refused."
"Miss, I want to tell you that men in this world are so unlucky. There is no need to pray for a good man."
*** lowered his head and said nothing, Chen Changan chuckled.
"If you have never felt love, how can you forget it?"
Chen Changan stood at the door, tilting his head: "Lady Li, we haven't seen each other for twenty years. Do you want to kill Xiao Zhennan?"
When the Taoist nun heard the name of Li Guiren, her face changed suddenly.
Although she didn't know that Xiao Zhennan had met the emperor, she was very familiar with Concubine Li.
It was she who told Chen Changan what happened between Xiao Zhennan and Li Guiren.
"You, you, you are Lady Li?"
*** patted his head, feeling a little doubtful.
"Master Xiang, what do you mean by Lady Li? You've got the wrong person."
Nun Wangqing didn't plan to say more to Chen Changan. She stood up and wanted to go out.
But after taking two steps, he stopped again!
Because there was an old man standing at the door, dressed in a dragon robe, reeking of alcohol, and looking at her with red eyes.
The body of the Taoist nun Wangqing couldn't help but tremble and tremble!
Xiao Zhennan was also very excited, and his lips were trembling.
"The stars were still there last night, and we held hands in deep love.
Thousands of vows were made under the flowers and the moon.
But what can be said about fate? Life and death are so fleeting.
It will be hard to see each other again, my tears are falling like rain.
When the dream ends, I miss your face.
There is no end to my longing for you, and I feel lonely in the evening breeze. "
Xiao Zhennan was also very romantic. He started by singing a song called "Linjiangxian".
Then, full of guilt, he said: "I haven't seen you for twenty years. You are still as beautiful as ever, but I am full of wrinkles and my cheeks are stained with snow."
"Hongying, do you still remember this poem?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
