Chai Yantan knew that his grandfather was sick when he was in the northwest, so after receiving the holy decree of his father to call him back, Chai Yantan gave up the warm and comfortable carriage and ran back on a fast horse. Along the way, his thighs were worn out by the saddle, his hands and feet were blown unconscious by the cold wind, and his face and neck were almost frozen.

Chai Yantan felt that this road was the hardest few days he had in the past twenty-one years, and when he saw the west gate of the capital, he was so excited that he wanted to cry.

The Yulin army, who was defending the city, recognized the four princes and opened the city gate to invite him into the city. Chai Yantan wanted to go to see his grandfather first, but he had the emperor's order, so he had to go to the palace first. In order to let his father know how hard his trip was, Chai Yantan did not wash or change his robe, and went directly to the palace.

Emperor Jianlong had just finished reading the excerpts that Chai Ren'an sent back from the northwest, and he was having nowhere to vent his anger, when he saw his waste son come in with ten catties of soil.

Before he could finish his salute, Emperor Jianlong threw the fold on him hard, and opened his mouth to scold, "You did a good job!" ”

Chai Yantan was almost knocked unconscious, he caught the fold and opened it to look at it, and listened to his emperor scolding, "If it weren't for the unbearable use, the military rations would have been found a long time ago!" ”

After reading the excerpt, Chai Yantan was not convinced, and replied with a stiff neck, "Father, the valley is less than ten miles away from the place where the military rations were lost, and the sons and daughters only arrived in the northwest after the military rations were lost for half a month. Even if Erchen had discovered the valley, the military rations would have been transported away long ago! ”

Emperor Jianlong was so angry that his fingers trembled, "You...... You ......"

Chai Yantan also screwed up, "Besides, before Erchen went, there were so many people in Xiliang, didn't they find it?" Didn't Jiang Changsheng, who went with Erchen, find it too? How did my father know that those things hadn't just been put in to confuse Uncle An? ”

"My father scolded his sons before he found out, do you know what kind of life these sons are living in the northwest? In order to run a good errand, Erchen has never slept a single night! You see that Erchen's face is frozen with pimples! ”

Emperor Jianlong was angry, "If I don't say a word to you, you will say dozens of words." I have a heavy responsibility, you haven't done a good job, and I'm not allowed to say it when I come back? ”

Chai Yantan's head turned to the side and snorted.

Emperor Jianlong was furious, "Look at what you look like? Thou art twenty-one this year, and thou hast accomplished any of the errands your father has given you? Your third brother is only one year older than you, how much has he done......"

Chai Yantan's tears came out of his aggrieved eyes, "Yes, Erchen is not as good as the third brother, and Erchen can't do anything!" The father didn't send the third brother to run an errand, but sent his sons? ”

Emperor Jianlong frowned.

Did the third child go to the northwest to get frozen, and was he made it difficult for those bandits to go to the northwest? He didn't do anything, and his father taught him a lesson! Is it because you don't want to do a good job? Did the father let the third child into the cabinet, did he let himself in? The more Chai Yantan thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help crying.

Seeing his unpromising appearance, how can he have a little bit of the grandeur that a prince should have. Emperor Jianlong was furious and smashed the teacup hard, and the teacup bloomed on Chai Yantan's forehead, leaving bright red bloodstains.

"Get out, get out of here!"

Chai Yantan didn't wipe the blood on his forehead, kowtowed his head and walked out. After leaving Yishou Palace, Chai Yantan pulled a eunuch and asked him to report the safety of his mother, and then went to the Taifu Mansion.

In the past, he was scolded by his father, and Chai Yantan would definitely find a way to hide, so as not to be scolded by his grandfather again. But today he was a little anxious to see his grandfather, to know if his old man was as sick as the people on the road had reported.

Who knew that when he arrived at the Taifu Mansion, he saw that the front of the mansion was tightly guarded by the guards of the Great Inner Prison. Chai Yantan felt that this was not good, he jumped off the horse and walked inside, but was stopped by the deputy general in charge of guarding the door, "King Jun, there is a decree in the saint, no one is allowed to enter to disturb Taifu's recuperation." ”

Chai Yantan frowned, "The king of this county will come out after going in to see his grandfather, and he will never disturb his old man's rest." ”

The lieutenant still refused to let him go, "No one is allowed to enter without a holy decree, please ...... the king of the county"

"Get out!" Chai Yantan kicked him away, stepped into the Taifu Mansion, and went straight to the inner courtyard.

Before he arrived at the inner courtyard, he saw his cousin Ning Luoyang's eyes red and swollen and he answered, "When did my cousin come back, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm fine, how is Grandpa?" Chai Yantan saw his cousin like this, and his steps became more anxious.

Ning Luoyang choked up and followed.

The huge Taifu Mansion was lifeless, Chai Yantan felt bad, and strode into the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Ning, who got the news, had already been helped out of the courtyard gate. Mrs. Tai, who had a haggard face, was shocked and distressed when she saw her grandson, "What's wrong with the county king?" ”

Chai Yantan touched his face, "Tan'er is fine, my grandfather is better?" ”

Mrs. Ning burst into tears, "Your grandfather, he, he has gone." ”

Chai Yantan staggered into the inner room, knelt in front of the bed and cried, "Grandpa, Tan'er is back, Tan'er is a step late, I didn't see you for the last time, Tan'er is not filial." ”

When he cried, the people in the house couldn't help it, and they wept lowly. The housekeeper of the Ning Mansion, who hurriedly chased in, also wept when he saw this.

After Chai Yantan cried for a while, he asked, "Grandma, my grandfather is gone, why is there no white cloth hanging in front of the house, and my cousin is not wearing filial piety clothes?" ”

Hearing her grandson ask this, Mrs. Ning felt that something was wrong, "How did Tan'er come in?" You haven't come back to see your father? ”

Chai Yan said in a daze, "When I saw it, my father scolded me, and I ran out." ”

The housekeeper said in a low voice, "Old lady, the king of the county only came in after beating the deputy general of the gatekeeper. ”

When Mrs. Tai heard this, she was anxious, "Quick, the king of the county will go back to your mansion quickly, as if you have never been here." ”

Pushing him and walking two steps, Mrs. Ning changed her words again, "No, you can't go back to the house, you go to your third brother, tell him about the matter, and let him help you get through." Your grandfather told you three times before he died, so that you should listen to your third brother more in the future, don't be reckless, go quickly! ”

Chai Yantan was willing to go, "Grandma, what the hell is going on, why can't I come?" My grandfather ...... him."

"Don't ask anything about the county king, go!" Old Madam Ning burst into tears and pushed him out, "Luo Yang, send the king of the county away!" ”

"I'm not leaving! What the hell is going on, why my grandfather went, I can't know, why did I want to go to the third brother. Why didn't my uncle come back, but what about my second uncle? The more Chai Yantan looked at it, the more wrong it became, and he asked loudly.

At this moment, the inner guard Jiang Ya had already chased him to the inner courtyard, and he didn't look at the Ning family, and said to Chai Yantan, "The king of the county, the last general is ordered to ask you to return to the palace immediately." ”

How could Chai Yantan go with him, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ning Luoyang, and asked, "Luoyang, what's the matter, you tell Lao Tzu!" Don't talk about Lao Tzu hacking you! ”

Seeing that the king of Tanjun refused to leave, Jiang Ya raised his hand, and the inner guards were about to step forward to get someone, "If the king of the county refuses, the last general will ......"

Ning Luoyang knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "Cousin, my grandfather has been gone for two days, and my father is still in the Guozijian and doesn't know the news, and the uncle won't let him deliver the letter." The Holy One is not allowed to mourn the Ning family! ”
