Entering the gate of Duke Cheng's Mansion, Chen Yichen saw a familiar figure standing inside the door, and his mother, Chen, was looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Chen'er, you're finally back."

Looking at his mother's appearance, Chen Yichen, who had previously shown a steady side in front of Chen Qingtong, finally couldn't help but feel a soreness on his nose, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.

No matter how old you are or how high you are in the standing position with heavy troops, when you come to your mother, you will always be the child who has not grown up in Yingtian Mansion.

"Mom, I've made you worried."

Chen Yichen walked over and opened his arms and gently gave his mother Chen a hug.

In recent years, I have been out of town and started a family and started a business. I haven’t had a good time with my mother for a long time. My husband and children are fighting on the battlefield. The pressure and worries in Chen’s heart can be imagined.

"God bless you, Chen'er, as long as you can come back with your grandfather, as long as you come back."

Compared to the scene where the capital was covered with mourning, Chen felt that he was lucky, at least he could hope that his relatives would return alive.

After giving in a few words of comfort, Chen wiped his tears and said, "Chen'er, you should go back to the house first to change into a plain dress, and then go to Taining Marquis' Mansion to accompany Qingtong."

"She is a married woman. When she returns to her parents' home to mourn, she needs someone to be by her side."

Chen alone pulled Chen Yichen up, and he knew very well the weakness of women in this world. Now without the support of his father Taining Hou, his mother's family may no longer be his own family. In addition, without brothers and sisters, his husband's family is the last relying on him.

.

"I see."

Chen Yichen nodded and asked, "How is the current state of the man?"

During the period when he was stationed in Huailai City, the court officials had already discussed that the defeated military general Xunqi would inevitably be held accountable afterwards. Among them, the defeat in the Yaoerling Battle of Duke Chengguo was found to be the main reason for the failure of the personal army.

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was seriously injured, and his reputation was destroyed for a lifetime, so you can imagine the blow he suffered.

On the way to retreat to the capital, Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, almost no one saw him, including Chen Yichen.

"After returning home, the prince stayed in his doorstep, except for telling Qingtong Taining Hou that he was killed, and his mother didn't know what he was doing now."

When talking about Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong, Chen's face turned worried again.

Compared with Chen Yichen's "love and hate" , Chen never hated Duke Cheng Zhu Yong. He watched the Duke of Ming, who was standing tall and upright, walk into his room like an old man, with his back figure.

Let Chen's heart be cut like a knife.

"Mr. He will come out."

Chen Yichen comforted his mother Chen and continued, "Mom, then I will go back to the house to change my clothes first."

"Go."

When I returned to my own room, Chen Qingtong cleaned up the room spotlessly, and even the items were placed exactly the same as the day I left.

Chen Yichen walked to the table and sat down slowly, then closed his eyes and sat alone in the house. The sunset shone through the window, and the mottled light and shadow reflected on him.

It’s a pity that Chen Yichen did not have the qualification to enjoy the quiet for a moment. Soon the maid Xueer came over with a set of underwear and plain clothes, and said with red and swollen eyes: “Son-in-law, this is the clothes prepared for you by the lady, please wash it.

Change it after a hot shower.”

Hearing Xueer's voice, Chen Yichen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the robe on the tray. He was ironed neatly and could not see any wrinkles. It was obvious that Chen Qingtong had been waiting for this moment for a long time, but he didn't expect to bring him.

What came back was bad news.

"I see."

Chen Yichen nodded, then stood up and walked to the mirror, preparing to take off his armor.

During this period of time in the army, Chen Yichen almost kept his stomach away. On the one hand, it was a crisis of the situation, and he was worried that the Mongolian cavalry would change direction and headed straight to Huailai City near Xuanfu. On the other hand, it was Chen Yichen. On the other hand, it was a crisis of the situation.

I want to give the soldiers in the army a sense of belonging of the same kind.

Only by being with my son can you say that you have no clothes!

"Son-in-law, I'll help you."

Xue'er quickly stepped forward to help Chen Yichen take off his clothes and remove his armor.

However, as soon as she came to Chen Yichen, she saw the dark red dry blood stains on the armor and immediately stood there. For a little maid in the backyard, she could not imagine the battlefield at all.

The cruelty.

"I'll remove my armor myself."

Chen Yichen looked at Xueer's scared look and squeezed out a smile on his face and waved his hand.

"No, I'll do it, son-in-law."

As if awakened by words, Xueer came back to her senses and leaned over stubbornly to help Chen Yichen unbutton the leather buckle and tie rope on the armor.

The closer you stand, the clearer you can see the arrow marks and knife marks on the armor, silently telling Chen Yichen's experience on the battlefield during this period.

"Son-in-law, you must be fine."

Tears as big as beans fell from Xue'er's eyes. Now the lady has lost the support of the Marquis, and the son-in-law must not suffer any accidents again.

"I will."

Chen Yichen knew what Xueer was thinking, so he nodded with a smile, trying to make himself feel relaxed.

After taking off his clothes and armor, he went to the inner room. Chen Yichen soaked in hot water and felt exhausted both physically and mentally, which was instantly relieved.

Tumu Fort is short of water. After several wells in Huailai City have entered the troops that exceed the limit, water resources are also in short supply. Taking a hot bath with a comfortable and comfortable bath is simply something I dare not imagine.

If there weren't too many things to deal with, Chen Yichen really wanted to close his eyes and relax completely.

It’s just that the situation cannot tolerate Chen Yichen relaxing the tense string.

After changing into a plain suit, Chen Yichen was about to go to Taining Marquis' Mansion, but when he was about to get on the carriage, he saw an unexpected person appearing in front of him.

Zhu Ji stood next to the carriage at some point.

"What's up?"

Chen Yichen asked in a cold tone. He had no family affection with Zhu Ji. After the death of the Duke's wife Lin, the two of them were even more difficult to maintain their superficial demeanor.

"I heard that you supported King Huang as the new king."

"How did you know?"

After hearing this, Chen Yichen became alert instantly.

Although the matter of establishing a new king will be told to China and the foreign countries soon, the difference between knowing it earlier and knowing it later is a world of difference.

Can a playboy like Zhu Ji, who is ignorant, still reach into the inner palace?

Zhu Ji did not answer Chen Yichen's question, but instead smiled in a sarcastic tone: "I really didn't expect that Admiral Chen, who was deeply favored by the emperor, would take advantage of the king's crisis to do such a thing that he would betray his Lord and seek honor.

”

"Get out."

Chen Yichen has no time, and he is not in the mood to talk to Zhu Ji.

If you want to mock me Chen Yichen, you are worthy of it?

"I'm so angry?"

Faced with Chen Yichen's scolding, Zhu Ji still looked as if he was smiling but not smiling, not as restless as before.

"In addition to the news that you supported King Cheng, I also received a message about Duke Cheng's Mansion. Do you want to hear it?"

When Chen Yichen, who had already raised his feet to get on the carriage, suddenly stopped his movements.

No matter what happened, the current Duke Chengguo Mansion is like the Ming Empire, stormy.

"Ha, it seems that the blood relationship cannot be cut off after all. Chen Yichen will now care about how the Duke Chenggong Mansion is."

"Then I will tell you, the resolution of the court has been issued. I believe that my father was guilty of losing his troops and losing his generals and was deposed, and soon there would be nothing more to become the Duke's Mansion."

"By the way, the person who made this suggestion is Yu Qian, the Minister of War, whom you are willing to leave Shandong to protect!"

When he said this, Zhu Ji's eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Chen Yichen and Yu Qian acted like loyal ministers everywhere, but one turned his back on his master and asked for honor, while the other even put a knife behind his back.

Hypocrites are not as good as real villains!

"Are you finished speaking?"

Unlike the shocked and angry scenes that Zhu Ji imagined, Chen Yichen's expression was as normal as ever after hearing his account, and there was not even a trace of turmoil.

This sow discord is useful to others, and for someone like Chen Yichen who has a historical perspective, it is like watching a clown's performance.

If Yu Qian chose to form a clique behind his own help, he would not have become a savior who has been famous for his eternal help.

Chen Yichen regards Yu Qian as a confidant, but never regards him as his own clique. In a sense, Chen Yichen and Yu Qian are not on the same path.

"Even if the Duke Chengguo Mansion falls, it will eventually rise again."

"And you are always a clown in my eyes."

After saying that, Chen Yichen got on the carriage, Cang Huotou and others looked at Zhu Ji with contempt, and then escorted him to Taining Marquis.

"Mr. Bian, find someone to check what kind of person Zhu Ji is in contact with the palace."

Chen Yichen on the carriage immediately changed into another look, and there was no sign of the disdain he had when facing Zhu Ji before.
