Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 237 Return to Zhennanguan and see old friends again
"There are so many people lining up?"

Lu Qingcheng was a little surprised, "It seems that her sesame cakes must be delicious."

"Of course it's delicious."

Tang Chuowan smiled and said: "But the most important thing is that the person is good-looking."

"Really? How pretty?"

Lu Qingcheng became more curious, "Are you prettier than Aunt Wan?"

"You'll know when you see it."

As Tang Chuowan spoke, he came to the end of the queue and said, "We are lining up here, so don't be anxious."

"of course not."

Lu Qingcheng smiled and said: "I just came out to play, nothing happened."

Although the team was long, it moved very quickly. In a short time, they reached the front of the team.

The sesame cake shop is still the same as before, and even the people inside have not changed much.

Just a little older.

Cailian looks like she is only in her early forties, but her charm is still there.

As for Xiao Yu, it seems that she is not yet 30 years old. Compared with her youthful appearance before, she now looks more mature and attractive.

"Boss, here are three beef biscuits."

Tang Chuowan approached with a smile.

"Ok?"

After seeing her appearance clearly, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered, "Is it you? Tang Chuowan? Aren't you at Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

"Shh!"

Tang Chuowan winked at Xiaoyu.

"I see."

Xiao Yu understood instantly, turned his gaze to Lu Qingcheng, and suddenly felt his eyes light up.

What a beautiful girl!
The facial features are somewhat familiar?
what happened?

Is it...

She suddenly remembered a person and was startled. She asked Tang Chuowan with her eyes, "Could this be..."

"Exactly."

Tang Chuowan nodded slightly.

"Oh, you've grown so big."

Xiaoyu was a little sad.

She looked at Tang Chuowan again and felt even more melancholy.

The choices they made back then were completely different, and accordingly, their fates were even more different.

Now there is one in the sky and one on the earth.

If you say you don't regret it, it's definitely a lie.

But since it was her own choice, even if it was a bitter pill, she had to swallow it with tears.

And force a smile.

"Here, three beef biscuits."

Xiao Yu wrapped three beef biscuits and handed them to the three of them respectively.

Tang Chuowan was about to pay the money, but Xiao Yu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, really no need, three sesame seed cakes are only a few bucks, so you don't have to go out to get the money. What's more, none of us here have ever experienced her. Father's favor? Why do you have the nerve to accept her money?"

"Ok."

Tang Chuowan didn't insist anymore and smiled at Xiao Yu, "Then let's go."

She also knew in her heart that not only the people on this street, but the entire Zhennanguan, and even the entire Zhou Dynasty, prospered because of Lu Fan.

It’s also appropriate to be grateful.

"Ah."

Xiao Yu watched the three people leave, as if he was crazy, and didn't look back for a long time.

The customer at the front reminded: "Boss, here are ten sesame seed pancakes with vegetarian fillings."

"Oh."

Xiaoyu wiped his eyes and forced a smile, "I'm sorry, I can't help but feel some emotions after meeting an old friend."

"Oh, boss, you are so awesome."

The guest looked back at the backs of the few people with envy in his eyes, "They are not ordinary people at first glance. It is not easy for you to get to know them."

"Yes."

Xiao Yu murmured: "They are all big shots. I am so lucky to know them!"

"Ugh!"

Cailian sighed and looked at her daughter with pity.

How many years have passed since the incident happened? Cailian knows that her daughter is suffering, so she has stopped blaming her daughter for a long time.

I just feel sorry for my daughter.

However, the original daughter's fate should not be like this!

I haven't married anyone yet, but I still think about that person every day.

Dreaming about dreams that shouldn't belong to her.

……

……

Tang Chuowan and three people were walking on the street.

Lu Qingcheng picked up the sesame cake and took a big bite.

"Well, it's delicious."

She nodded repeatedly, "The sesame biscuits are crispy and crispy, but the beef inside is so fragrant."

"Yes, I like to eat too."

Tang Chuowan smiled and said: "When I lived here before, I often came here to buy sesame cakes to eat."

"Aunt Wan, she is indeed beautiful."

Lu Qingcheng took another big bite of the sesame cake and said while eating, "However, compared with you, she is still a little inferior and not as beautiful as you."

"You can speak."

Tang Chuowan was very happy to be praised, and her face became a little brighter.

"I'm speaking the truth."

Lu Qingcheng muttered and suddenly asked: "Aunt Wan, does she also like my father?"

"Yes."

Tang Chuowan actually understood Xiao Yu's thoughts best and sighed: "In fact, this actually harmed her."

"why?"

Lu Qingcheng was a little confused.

"Because after she falls in love with your father, she can never fall in love with another man again."

Tang Chuowan shook his head gently, "If you want to blame it, it's because your father is too outstanding. Compared with other men, they will always be much inferior."

"Not even the best men in the world are exempt from this."

"No one can compare to your father."

Speaking of this, Tang Chuowan sighed softly, "Since she likes your father, how can she like someone else? And she is arrogant and doesn't want to give in, so she can only stay single for the rest of her life."

Although Tang Chuowan was talking about Xiaoqi, was she actually talking about herself?
With her temperament, now that she has identified Lu Fan, she will not choose anyone else.

No matter how difficult this road is, she will continue to walk on it.

"So it is."

Lu Qingcheng somewhat understood, "Hearing what you said makes me want to see my father even more."

"Who wouldn't want to?"

Tang Chuowan suddenly pointed forward, "Let's go, I'll take you to my bun shop."

"what?"

Lu Qingcheng was stunned: "Is your bun shop still open?"

"It has been closed for a long time and has been transferred to others."

Tang Chuowan explained: "However, it was transferred to a relative of mine. He is still selling steamed buns, and he didn't even change the name of the shop."

"That's good."

When Lu Qingcheng heard this, he became interested again, "Just in time to try it."

"Let's go."

The three of them were talking and entered the bun shop, just in time to finish the sesame buns in their hands.

"What distinguished guests would you like to eat?"

The boss was a man in his 30s. He came over with a smile. When he saw Tang Chuangwan, he was shocked, "My grandson has met my aunt!"

He shouted loudly and knelt down to salute.

"okay."

Tang Chuowan stopped him, "You call me old if you shout like that."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The man stood up with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"You have nothing to do, come out and relax."

Tang Chuowan urged: "Go and get two cages of steamed buns quickly."

"Hey."

The man agreed and left quickly.

After a while, he took three steamed buns, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "You can use them slowly."

"Okay, go get busy."

Tang Chuowan waved his hand.

"Yes."

The man didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he bowed and left.

"Let's try it."

Tang Chuowan picked up the chopsticks.

"Well." Lu Qingcheng looked inside and pointed at the door and curtain, "Aunt Wan, you were hiding there back then to peek at my father."

"Yes."

Tang Chuowan didn't look back, and knew what it was like there, "The seat you are sitting in is exactly where your father used to sit. He noticed that I was peeking at him, and instead of blaming me, he even smiled at me. "

"He's such a warm person."

Lu Qingcheng picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "How about I try this bun?"

After saying that, she picked up a bun, brought it to her mouth, and took a big bite.

"Well, it's fragrant but not greasy, it tastes delicious, it's really delicious."

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Tang Chuowan also took a bite of the bun, and the familiar taste made her unable to help but feel something.

"so good."

Lu Qingcheng ate happily and said with a smile: "This kind of life is more down-to-earth."

"That sentence is true."

Tang Chuowan nodded in agreement, "Actually, I very much agree with you. Go out more and see the lives of ordinary people."

"If not, it's like a castle in the air."

"It seems to be lofty, but it has no foundation, and it seems not so solid."

"Maybe this is also the bottleneck of your cultivation."

Speaking of this, Tang Chuowan smiled and said, "Perhaps after this trip, you will quickly break through the bottleneck and be promoted to a new level."

"Well, I think so too."

Lu Qingcheng praised: "Aunt Wan, I didn't expect that what you just said makes sense."

"Of course."

Tang Chuowan smiled and said: "After all, I have been with your father for so long, and I will be influenced by him without knowing it. My vision and knowledge have grown a lot."

The three of them talked, quickly finished their buns, got up and left.

"You have to leave."

The man came over again with a smile on his face, "You have to leave. I'll get you some buns to eat on the way."

"Need not."

Tang Chuowan waved his hand, "You can only eat the steamed buns while they are hot. If you want to eat them next time, we can just come back."

"By the way, how much is it?"

"How can I ask for your money?"

The man was a little frightened, "It's my honor for you to come here to eat. Please don't offend me."

"Ok."

Tang Chuowan was not polite, "Then let's go."

"You walk slowly."

The man bowed to see him off.

The three of them left the bun shop and continued to wander on the street.

Not long after, there was a sudden noise in the distance.

"Look, Mr. Xu!"

"He's here again."

"Thanks to him, he helped me solve a lot of difficulties."

"Me too."

"He is really a kind man."

The sound of everyone's discussion reached Tang Chuowan's ears, causing her to stop and look in the direction from which the sound came.

I saw a man in his 30s, dressed as a young man, walking towards me.

People on the street looked at the young master with admiration and appreciation in their eyes, and there were even a few girls with expressions of admiration.

Xu Wei!

Tang Chuowan recognized this person and was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that more than ten years later, Mr. Xu still liked to help people as much as before.

It’s not easy to keep doing this for more than ten years.

"what?"

Seeing Tang Chuowan and the others from a distance, Xu Wei let out a light sigh, walked a few steps quickly, came to the three of them, and looked at Tang Chuowan carefully.

"It turns out to be Miss Tang, how come you have time to come back?"

"If you have nothing to do, come back and have a look."

Tang Chuowan smiled and asked, "How is Mr. Xu doing lately?"

"Thanks to the prince."

Xu Wei knew Tang Chuowan's current identity, smiled and cupped his hands, "I'm still the same, living a good life."

"That's good."

Tang Chuowan nodded slightly.

"Who is this?"

Xu Wei turned his gaze to Lu Qingcheng and felt a chill in his heart.

With his eyes, he could naturally see the extraordinary qualities of Ye Qingcheng.

"This is my lady."

Tang Chuowan smiled and said, "Please Mr. Xu, please keep quiet."

"what?"

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, and was about to step forward to greet him, "It turns out to be the princess."

"Don't be too polite."

Tang Chuowan stopped him, "Speaking of which, you are also a friend of the prince. You also contributed a lot when guarding Zhennanguan."

"My little credit is not worth mentioning."

Xu Wei quickly waved his hand, "If the prince hadn't arrived in time, I would have died on the city wall."

"If the city is destroyed, there's no telling what kind of torture the people will suffer."

"Speaking of which, we have all been favored by the prince."

Xu Wei sighed: "In my heart, I will always remember the kindness of the prince."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

Tang Chuowan smiled and said, "I'm going to take the princess with me to go shopping elsewhere, so let's just say goodbye."

"Go slowly."

Xu Wei bowed to see him off, his expression slightly respectful.

Seeing this scene in front of everyone, they immediately started talking.

"Who are these women?"

"How could Mr. Xu be treated so politely?"

"I have never seen Mr. Xu treat a person with such respect."

"He seems to be a very important person."

"Yeah, it shouldn't be wrong."

Amid everyone's discussion, Tang Chuowan and the other three walked around Lan Kwai Street, then returned to the starting point, got on the carriage, and galloped away.

inside the carriage.

Tang Chuowan and Lu Qingcheng sat face to face.

"Aunt Wan, after so many years, people here still miss my father."

Lu Qingcheng's eyes sparkled, "My father is so awesome!"

"Of course."

Thinking of that person, Tang Chuowan's face became a little brighter, "Some people are born with a kind of charm. Even if they just take a look at them, they will never be forgotten in this life. Your father is undoubtedly such a person."

"Aunt Wan."

Lu Qingcheng thought for a while and said, "I also want to go to the Zhennan Army's military camp and Longyingwei to see the place where my father lived."

"No problem, I'll take you there."

Tang Chuowan said to Qiao Yun who was driving: "Sister Yun, let's go to the Zhennan Army Barracks."

"okay."

Qiao Yun agreed, raised her riding whip, "Drive!"

The carriage quickly left Langui Street and rushed towards the Zhennan Army Barracks.

A quarter of an hour later, the military camp was in sight.

"Shut up!"

The carriage stopped in front of the military camp.

Tang Chuowan got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of the military camp.

"stop!"

Guarding the door were four soldiers armed with spears, one of whom drank her.

"This is an important military camp area, and there are many people waiting to get closer."

"I'm here to find someone."

Tang Chuowan smiled and said: "Please go in and report."

"Oh?"

The soldier's expression softened slightly and he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for General Zhao Wu."

Tang Chuowan still had a smile on his face, "Just say Tang Chuowan wants to see you."

"what?"

When several people heard Zhao Wu's name, they were all a little confused and looked at Tang Chuowan in surprise, "Are you sure you want to see the Commander-in-Chief?"

Zhao Wu was none other than the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army.

The commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army is still Ye Wuchen, but Ye Wuchen has lived in Dayu City for a long time and barely manages anything. Now he is just in name.

The person in charge was none other than Deputy Commander Zhao Wu.
