Head Monk Liao Chi led his overly beautiful younger brother over, clasped his hands together to greet Gu Yun, then shtly: “I haven’t seen you for raceful as ever, it truly is a blessing for us Great Liang people”

Gu Yun was suffocated by the old ht inside, “Isn’t it? Haven’t been cursed to death by you yet”

Of course, as the Marquis of Order, he couldn’t be as unreasonable as to pick a fight just depending on his eilant He only casually nodded: “All thanks to the blessing of the Master”

The white-faced monk also bowed down to pay respect, but he hadn’t said a word, only slance at him

Liao Chi explained: “The Marquis please don’t blaer brother has an excellent understanding of Buddha’s teaching, but unfortunately he is born to follow the path of silent meditation”

Gu Yun was surprised, unexpectedly, this Liao Ran person was mute

The monk stepped forward and extended his hands towards Gu Yun His face was very white,his eyebrows appear even blacker like a piece of wood on the snow If he wasn’t a ether with a pair of red lips and white teeth, he was si deity htly, thinking: “What is he doing, does he want to enlighten me?”

Head Monk Liao Chi explained: “The Marquis carries the peace and stability of all Great Liang on your shoulder, I assume that you will soon have to depart to the frontier in a few days My younger brother wishes to pray for your safety”

Gu Yun made a faint smile: “There is no need to bother the s before, and I have never offered an incense either, I will not bother the Buddha”

Liao Chi: “A all beings, these words of the Marquis are mistaken”

As Gu Yun heard the words ‘Ae to beat so to talk to the, I dare not delay any able to acco along to follow Zhu Little Feet’s lead inside the palace Chang Geng inadvertently looked back and saw that the monk was not at all affected by Gu Yun’s attitude, he re in front of Buddha Hishis prayer and fortune towards Gu Yun as gradually walking further away, regardless if Gu Yun hi was in a daze when he was suddenly pulled by a hand Gu Yun spoke in a hushed toneatGeng ell behaved and retracted his gaze, he asked Gu Yun: “Yifu, that master said soon you will have to leave the capital, is it true?”

Gu Yun: “M asked: “When?”

“It is not yet decided,” Gu Yun replied “I still have to assess the eest one in theyou don’t understand, you can discuss it with Uncle wang”

Gu Yun did not need to reent with s because, in this respect, Chang Geng was already diligent enough towas dumbfounded as he heard this, after a while, he asked with distress: “Is yifu not going to bring ?”

“Ah?” Gu Yun did not understand “What a footsteps ca never considered this situation

Fro Geng did not realize that once his little yifu led his troops back to the northwest again, they would be separated from each other by half of Central Plains

In the blink of an eye, Chang Geng’s heart was plunged into a spiral of thoughts — in the eyes of his yifu, he was only just a child asn’t well-versed in either literary orto the frontier are equipped with ar a fa with theo to the Northwestern Frontier, if it was safe on that side, he may still be able to return to the capital to report once a year But if the situation was unstable, who kne long he would have to be stationed there Now, he was officially fourteen years old, how e ceremony?

At that time, he would have to leave the shelter and protection of the Marquis of Order and move out of thein this vast and lonesome capital…

Yifu would soon have to marry a wife and have children, and when that time comes, would he still remember this small burden that he used to raise like livestock in the manor?

They referred to each other as father and son, but their fate was like that of a broken lamp, burned away i ihts reached this point, the entire palace see hi suddenly stopped his feet, he turned back and looked at hi involuntarily blurted out: “I want to go to the frontier with you! I can enlist in the arht to himself: Don’t cause trouble, it already takes soyou out of the door for a walk, what is this talk about joining military ranks?

However, after a half-year of ‘on-hand experience’, he generally already discovered a trick to act as an elder He did not directly disgrace Chang Geng face to face, only seht, little Prince?

Chang Geng: “…”

Of course, what Gu Yun discovered was a trick to deal with a four-year-old child, he was ten years off the ’s affection and desperation were lightly swept back to hi

The young boy then quietly closed his les He stared at Gu Yun’s broad back as if staring at a narrow door that he could never reach for the rest of his life

Long An E in name, but from their appearances alone, one could not see that they share a blood-related relationshi+p, His Majesty looked more like the Former E Geng met him Compared with the frantic situation from last time, he could see the man a lot e of thirty – this period was said to be the most beautiful one in aand appeared extremely refined and educated Even if he was not the e from his appearance alone, one could already tell that he waswas very keen, especially after arriving at the capital, he beca others facial expressions and speeches Gu Yun seldo, but Teacher Shen wasn’t so mindful about this subject Shen Yi harbored quite a lot of dissatisfaction towards the Emperor and often complained in private Hence it was easy for one to link His Majesty with the ie of someone as mean-spirited and small-hearted

But in actuality, it was not at all like what one ine

Gu Yun hasn’t even set foot inside yet but E out the brazier: “I have told them earlier, Uncle would come early Hurry, co at you”

E An called hiht for Gu Yun did not bear the surname Li after all In the past, with love and affection, the forned this role, but the current Emperor still kept this intimate habit from his childhood years

In front of Gu Yun, he did not use the pronoun ‘zhan’ or display his status, there was an enthusiastic intimacy in his manner, not at all similar to how a ruler would treat his subject, but instead a lot more like how one would treat their family member

zhan is the pronounce all E ‘I /looked at Chang Geng and sighed “Young ones sure change so much day by day, the boy was still not this tall the last ti and always having both my hands full these few months, hence why I couldn’t pay ood look at you”

Chang Geng had already prepared to be ‘disliked’ – but the emperor’s ‘dislike’ was so well hidden to the point where he could not sense it at all

This iratitude or enlance, everyone appeared to be happy and pleasant

Gu Yun and the Emperor casually chatted, and once in a while, they would re An brought out the “red packet , a child who grew up in Yanhui town, had never experienced the world He only knew that “no work, no reward” As he listened to Zhu Little Feet listing out all of his gifts one by one, he almost felt uneasy, suspicious that the reason Gu Yun picked hi to come into the palace was sioods!

E’sHe said: “You are the descendant of us, Li farow to be a talented individual with strong will, and help share so want to do in the future?”

Chang Geng looked at Gu Yun and said: “I a to become a soldier under the Marshal in the future, serve him by his side, and help open up the territory for Your Majesty”

Ehed, appeared to be very pleased, constantly praising Chang Geng for having ambition

Gu Yun took a teacup on the table and had a sip He didn’t interject and, just laughed, his eyes beca

“Who is serving who?” He thought helplessly

Though helpless, he couldn’t help but feel that these words were incredibly co fro encountered the hly swept away

Ely said: “This is the plan, but the soldiers in the frontiersconditions How can your yifu be willing to let you go out there to suffer?”
