Chapter 78: Just show me this?
Just when Liu Chang had set up a blast furnace and was concentrating on smelting iron, Liu Ying found him with a look of uneasiness.
"Brother, pack up and let's go back to Chang'an."
"ah?"
"I've only just finished most of it, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Liu Chang looked confused. Liu Ying looked around and shook his head. "Don't ask. Just follow me back."
Liu Ying was at a loss and very frightened. Seeing Liu Ying like this, Liu Chang did not ask any more questions and just packed up his things obediently. Liu Ying hurriedly took him to the car and left Shangjun without even saying goodbye to Zhao Huan and others.
Except Liu Ying, no one else seemed to know what was happening.
Even the prince's servants looked surprised.
Liu Chang frowned. What happened to make his second brother so scared?
Could it be that Ruyi is dead?
The carriage was moving very fast this time, almost running at full speed, not stopping anywhere, and only stopping at night. Liu Chang wanted to ask Liu Ying, but Liu Ying always looked absent-minded. No matter how Liu Chang asked, he didn't say anything, just shook his head.
While eating, Liu Chang suddenly noticed that there seemed to be one more person in the team, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes. This person looked so familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere?
"Hey! You!"
"It's you! Come here!"
Liu Chang gave the order, and the man reluctantly came to Liu Chang , lowering his head, "What do you want, sir?"
"Have we met somewhere before?"
"this……"
The man hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Liu Chang looked at it for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Aren't you the jailer?!"
The man in front of him was obviously the jailer in the prison where Han Xin was imprisoned. I remembered that his surname was also Lu, and he was a distant relative of mine. But wasn't he the head of the prison? How did he appear here?
"Could it be that the master ran away?!"
Liu Chang's eyes widened, then he shook his head, "That's not right. If the teacher had run away, you would have been beheaded long ago. How could you appear here? What on earth happened in Chang'an?"
"This... Sir, I have long ceased to be a prison guard. There is nothing important here..."
"Don't hide it from me!"
Liu Chang widened his eyes and stared at him fiercely.
"Alas, I really cannot tell you. Please forgive me, sir."
"oh?"
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at Luan Bu beside him, "Luan Bu! Chop him!" Luan Bu hurriedly looked at Liu Chang's hand, only to see Liu Chang stretched out a finger. Luan Bu immediately understood, and suddenly drew out the sword and chopped at the man's neck.
Just when the man was about to scream, Luan Bu stopped, his sword just in front of the man's neck, ready to kill him at any time.
"Say it or not?"
"My Lord! I really can't tell you! This matter... was ordered by the Queen! Even if you kill me, I can't tell you!"
Hearing that it was arranged by Empress Lu, Liu Chang trembled all over, "Luan Bu! How can you be so rude? Put away your sword!"
Luan Bu's mouth twitched, but he still obediently put away his sword.
"Oh, I always thought you were very kind... Come, sit down and have something to eat with me... There's no need to let mother know about such a small matter, right? It would be a waste of time to make her angry? Right? Besides, my servant is a petty person. Their school is all about petty and revenge. If I get hurt, he won't hesitate to kill me... You know, sometimes I can't stop him..."
"You don't need to say more, sir. I understand what you mean."
"Hey! I'm glad you understand!"
"By the way, how is the Master doing?"
"Well... he is living a good life now. His Majesty ordered us not to punish him anymore... He has gained some weight and spends the whole day writing on the wall and talking to himself... He seems to be in good spirits..."
"well……"
Thinking of his teacher who was suffering, Liu Chang sighed, "Before, my teacher loved me the most. Now, I haven't visited him for many days. How sad he must be when he can't see me..."
"Oh, no, he's quite happy..."
"Luanbu!!"
Liu Chang was having a great time, but Liu Ying didn't notice him at all. He just lowered his head, staring at the campfire in front of him, motionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In this way, they arrived in Chang'an as quickly as possible under forced march.
When they arrived in Chang'an, even Liu Chang was exhausted. The fatigue that penetrated deep into his heart was really indescribable. After returning to Chang'an, Liu Ying did not slow down. He rushed all the way to the palace, grabbed Liu Chang's hand, rushed out of the carriage, and ran towards the harem.
Along the way, neither the eunuchs nor the attendants could stop this prince.
After entering the palace, Liu Ying finally stopped hiding his feelings. Tears welled up in his eyes and he said anxiously, "Father, wait for me...Father, wait for me...Father, wait for me..."
Liu Chang was still very confused and was just dragged away by Liu Ying.
They rushed all the way to the entrance of Xuanshi Hall. The attendants were horrified and shouted hurriedly, "Prince! No!"
But when Liu Ying got angry, they really couldn't stop him. Liu Ying and Liu Chang rushed into the Xuanshi Hall. Liu Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried out, "Father!!!"
Inside the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Bang was shirtless, holding Madam Cao and Madam Shi in his arms, looking at Liu Ying and Liu Chang with a confused look on his face.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Liu Ying stared at his father in a daze, then quickly came to his senses and covered his eyes.
Liu Chang also widened his eyes as he watched the scene in front of him.
"You hurriedly dragged me here from Shangjun just to show me this?!"
Liu Chang asked angrily.
Liu Bang hurriedly put on his clothes, and the two wives also hurriedly left the hall, covering their faces. After putting on their clothes, Liu Bang laughed, "Ying? Chang? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Liu Ying then put down his hand. He looked at Liu Bang in a daze, "I heard that... my father is seriously ill and asked me to return quickly..."
"Who is farting?"
Liu Bang became furious and shouted angrily.
"it's me."
At some point, Empress Lu stood behind them, staring at Liu Bang coldly.
Liu Bang was stunned, laughed dryly, and looked at Liu Ying, "You are strong, don't worry!"
"Come, come, come and sit down!"
Liu Ying and Liu Chang then walked to Liu Bang's side and sat down.
Liu Bang kissed Liu Chang hard on the face and said, "I heard that you did a great job! The Prime Minister praised you highly. You really made me proud!"
"Of course, you are also very good and did a great job!"
Liu Bang started praising Liu Ying again, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
He began to preach to his two sons as usual, "My dear, you have done a good job, but don't be proud and complacent because of these things. You have to do better. I have already told the Shangfang Mansion that no matter what you do in the future, they must obey you and must not oppose you!"
"And you, Ying, I am very happy that you can support my younger brother and take the initiative to unite those noble children. However, you don't have to use everyone... It's only been a short time since I went out, and you have found so many servants for yourself... If you want to choose servants, I won't stop you, but you can ask the prime minister first, don't be deceived..."
Liu Bang lectured for a long time, then looked at Empress Lu, "Why did you scare these two children?"
"Look how tired the child is."
Empress Lu hesitated for a moment. "The imperial physician ordered you not to drink and to restrain yourself, but you didn't listen at all. If you continue like this, something bad will happen sooner or later. It's better to call them here as soon as possible..."
At that moment, Liu Bang was stunned for a long time. Is this caring about me?
His eyes were evasive, no longer meeting Empress Lu's gaze, "Well... I know... I won't do this again..."
Empress Lu had a stern face and said nothing.
After Liu Bang had educated them, Liu Chang and Liu Ying followed Empress Lu and left.
Liu Chang was yawning, his eyes half asleep.
As soon as he returned to the Pepper Room, Liu Chang went back to the inner hall and fell asleep.
Liu Ying knelt down in front of Empress Lü and said, "Please rest assured, mother. Now that I am back, I will keep an eye on my father... and will not let him ..."
"Shut up, idiot!"
Empress Lu gritted her teeth, her face as cold as ice.
"Did I ask you to look for me when you get back?"
"I……"
Liu Ying looked at Empress Lü blankly, "But my father is seriously ill..."
"I ask you, why didn't you look for me when you came back?!"
Liu Ying lowered his head, speechless.
Empress Lü panted angrily, "Go back! Don't come to see me again without my order!"
