The reason for Gu Yun’s trip to the South was because Corand funeral General Fu’s elderly ht forth his request to return his plaque in order to come home to attend his mother’s funeral, to express his filial piety
The ‘funeral’ was in fact, simply an excuse that was neither here nor there, whether one attended or not was not of importance, they could easilyofficials at the frontier have never done so before

Moreover, in the entire Great Liang, there was no one who did not know of General Fu’s background as a bandits’ leader It was the Old Marquis who had thoroughly defeated him into surrender, then was later recruited into the officialan audience with His Majesty, he had been often unable to restrain himself and let out a number of crude curse words He was not one to pay particular attention to mannerism

The horse let out a long neigh, its front hooves leaped up high then landed back on the ground, turning in a half circle Gu Yun stopped, staring at the young man who appeared quite familiar, yet at the same time, he did not dare to call out to him
“How could there be such a coincidence,” Gu Yun thought with hesitation “Did I recognize the wrong person froht up to him: “How… oh!”
The Black Iron Ca finally returned to reality, he quickly dismounted and said: “Marshal!”
Gu Yun’s horse seehtly, panting hard as its leg tapped the ground
Chang Geng was afraid that at this moment, even if someone were to throw him into a mountain of tranquilizer, it would still not be able to stop his heart froreatly inside his chest He sat nuue which could make a lotus bloo all his words inside
He could only rely on instinct, revealing a stiff s?”
These tords exploded, blowing up and ringing in Chang Geng’s ear He rubbed his nose from the embarrassment of his inability to calm down: “I coincidentally traveled to Sichuan and happened to hear from Miss Chen that yifu will arrive in these two days, I had decided to rest here for a while How ti for a stroll, I did not expect to be able to meet with you here”
The little soldier on the side thought in astonish the exact time and location every day…just for a stroll?”
He looked intently at Chang Geng’s unre that it was a Godly steed hidden under its ordinary exterior

In the past few years, although he was so’s whereabouts, he did not expect for the other boy to turn out like this, it seemed as if he had been reborn anew
Gu Yun er-filled separation fro frustration, their cold war, and his perseverance to send people to keep an eye on Chang Geng’s whereabouts
He was astonished of being able to recognize Chang Geng and stopping in time, because the boy was truly different — each of his move had changed
Tiain shrunk in front of his eyes, Gu Yun calculated with his fingers — how could he not change, it had been more than four years already
Shen Yi came over and smiled: “My Gods, the little Prince is already… do you still res, General Shen”
Shen Yi said: “If it were to beyou so er look whenever he caught sight of soer bear it, he interrupted: “Where did you find so hing out loud then proceeded to usher his horse over to Master Sun, bent down to put hie He reached out and waved his hand in front of the ht? Hold on for a while longer, ill arrive at the inn soon”
Master Sun leaned on the cart, panting heavily, quickly tensing up again
But Master Sun soon discovered that Chang Geng was his savior Since the encounter with Chang Geng on the road, these ani to walking, as casual as going for a leisure stroll, even the sound of the horse hoof had becoroup back to the inn There were notthe entire establishment, at least two peopleto le room to officer Sun”

In the past, Chang Geng would feel nervous whenever Gu Yun’s expression slightly become off He would either instantly admit to hishi was surprised to find that all the restraint and panic in his heart had disappeared All of Gu Yun’s e Geng wished nothing rave theo, he had endured i himself to stay composed and said to Gu Yun: “The manor cannot hold me back”
Four years later, he looked at Gu Yun, revealing just the right a in my return”
Gu Yun: “…”
He was not able to stay angry forthese words froer maintain his cold face, his stone heart was softened into a piece of cotton
Gu Yun turned his attention to the small room, there were a few medical books on the table, he picked one up then casually flipped through it: “Why were you reading these?”
Chang Geng: “I followed Miss Chen to learn aboutto hi to hi that this thought of his washimself, and secondly, people of the Lin Yuan Pavilion were not at all the talkative type
