Chapter 451 Dealing with
"If Li Chun is willing to cooperate, then there should be no problem with this plan." Chu Zhuang finally said.
The most critical point is to look at Li Chun's attitude.
If Li Chun is willing, then the plan can naturally go ahead.
If Li Chun was unwilling, it would be useless for Chu Zhuang to say more.
"Brother Chun..." Yun Mengxi thought for a while and said, "I'm sure I can convince Brother Chun!"
Li Chun is already nineteen years old this year, and if he drags on, he will be 20 years old.
This is not a modern society, this is in the Dai Viet dynasty, it is definitely rare for him to be unmarried at his age.
Li Chun has been staring at the great pressure at home and rejecting the person introduced to him by the family.
But as he got older, it became more and more difficult to refuse.
The Li family will never keep Li Chun until he is 20 years old.
So for Chu Zhuang's plan, Li Chun, who is anxious, will most likely not refuse.
"Second brother is the same, since you like him, go after him, why drag him all the time!" Chu Zhuang frowned, a little dissatisfied with this.
Isn't this delaying people's youth and wasting people's feelings?
"Second brother spends most of his time on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that he will be able to return from the battlefield. He should be worried and agreed to brother Li Chun, but there is no way..." Yunmengxi sighed slightly, His voice was a little low.
"I misunderstood second brother."
There was a flash of clarity in Chu Zhuang's eyes, Yunhong didn't say anything, it wasn't because he was irresponsible to Li Chun, on the contrary, it was precisely because he cared about the other party that he delayed responding to the other party.
In case Yunhong couldn't get off the battlefield, according to the characteristics of this era, Li Chun would very likely be a widow for Yunhong for the rest of his life!
Yunhong should be thinking that if he dies in battle one day, Li Chun can also find his own happiness.
"But now the second brother is about to restore his identity, and he doesn't need to go to such a dangerous place as the battlefield. This time, he should have such a thought in looking for you and Li Chun." Chu Zhuang said after thinking.
"Then is our plan still going on?" Yunmengxi asked hesitantly.
"Let's adjust accordingly. If the second brother is willing to speak, then our plan naturally does not need to continue, but if the second brother can't say it, then we will give them a push." Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said.
"Well, good!" Yunmengxi definitely made sense, and agreed: "On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, I asked Brother Chun to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, and then I asked my second brother to wait in the temple."
"Xiangguo Temple?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, and an inexplicable look flashed across his eyes.
"What happened to Xiangguo Temple?"
Hearing Chu Zhuang's murmur, Yun Mengxi subconsciously raised her head to look at Chu Zhuang, but her eyes were still covered by Chu Zhuang.
"nothing."
Chu Zhuang knew that Yunmengxi would become suspicious if he continued, so he kissed the top of his hair and said, "I'm a little sleepy, let's sleep."
But Yunmengxi was not as easy to deceive as before, a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes.
There is something wrong with Chu Zhuang.
Not only did he not let himself look at him today, he even didn't even have the usual goodnight kiss before going to bed.
"Chu Zhuang, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Mengxi couldn't hide anything in his heart, so he held Chu Zhuang's hand immediately, took his hand away, looked at Chu Zhuang in front of him with his elbows on his elbows, and wanted to ask clearly what happened.
Just looking at it, he immediately understood what was going on.
Chu Zhuang had a sick look on his face, even in the night, he could still see Chu Zhuang's weakness at this time.
"Chu Zhuang, are you sick?!" Yunmengxi's voice suddenly screamed.
No wonder he felt strange, why Chu Zhuang didn't let himself see him all the time, dare to say, he was afraid that he would know that he was sick!
Seeing that Yunmengxi found out, Chu Zhuang sighed slightly.
Originally, he was a little lucky that Yunmengxi wasn't there when he was sick, so he didn't have to worry about himself.
Unexpectedly, he ran away from home.
"It's just a minor illness, and it's almost cured, don't worry." Chu Zhuang touched Yunmengxi's cheek to comfort him.
"I'll go find Doctor Xue!"
Yunmengxi pursed her lips tightly, her face was a little cold, and she was about to get up to find Xue Qing.
"I've seen it and taken the medicine. Doctor Xue said that it will be fine after two days of recuperation."
Chu Zhuang quickly put his arms around Yunmengxi's waist, stopped his movements, and said: "Don't disturb the old man at night."
Yunmengxi touched Chu Zhuang's forehead to make sure he didn't have a fever, so he gave up the idea of looking for Xue Qing. He twisted the corners of the quilt for Chu Zhuang to prevent the cold wind from entering the bed, and then asked: "Why? Are you sick?"
He hadn't seen Chu Zhuang for a few days, and Chu Zhuang made himself sick.
When Chu Zhuang heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he explained: "Two days ago, I took the children to have a snowball fight in the academy..."
In the end, who knows, all the little ones were alive and well, but it was the adult Chu Zhuang who fell ill.
Speaking of it, it is also a bit embarrassing.
"Snowball fight!"
Yunmengxi's eyes widened, and he looked at Chu Zhuang angrily. Last year, or to be precise, the year before last, Chu Zhuang developed a fever after only being outside for one night in the cold. He actually dared to have a snowball fight this time!
Chu Zhuang also felt very depressed about this. He has been insisting on running and exercising for a long time. He originally thought that his body was much stronger, but it would be no problem to fight a snowball fight.
Who knew it would be so unlucky to be tricked.
Of course, these reasons cannot be said to Fu Lang who is angry.
If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright.
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunmengxi pitifully and said: "Mengxi, I know I was wrong, I will not dare in the future, don't be angry."
Yunmengxi also knew that Chu Zhuang was deliberately showing weakness, but seeing his pitiful appearance, his heart ached so much that he couldn't bear to be angry with him.
"This is not allowed in the future." Yunmengxi's voice softened.
"Yeah, I promise!" Chu Zhuang quickly nodded in response, put his arms around Yunmengxi's waist, and brought him back into his arms.
Yunmengxi secretly mobilized his internal energy to warm his body so that it would be convenient for Chu Zhuang to hug him to keep warm.
Chu Zhuang's body was indeed a little weak, and he spent some energy tonight, hugging the warm Yunmengxi, his eyelids twitching, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.
Looking at Chu Zhuang's sleeping face, Yun Mengxi's eyes were full of distress. If possible, he hoped that he could pass on the inner strength he cultivated to Chu Zhuang. If so, Chu Zhuang would not get sick so easily.
It's just a pity that there is no way.
The two hugged each other and slept intimately all night.
Perhaps it was because Yunmengxi's heating had an effect, Chu Zhuang's complexion was indeed much better when he woke up the next day, although he was still a little pale, but his body gradually regained his strength.
"You rest in bed!"
Yunmengxi pressed down on Chuzhuang, not letting him get up, but let him continue to lie down and recuperate.
"I send you."
Chu Zhuang knew that Yunmengxi would definitely leave today, although he was reluctant to let go, but he did not leave Yunmengxi behind.
"Lie down well."
Yunmengxi pressed Chu Zhuang, put on his clothes, brought hot water for Chu Zhuang to wash, and fed him breakfast himself before preparing to leave.
"I'll be here at night, if you don't obediently obey and rest, then I..."
Yunmengxi thought for a long time before he came up with a reason for threatening: "Then I will ignore you!"
"Don't worry, I'll take a good rest!"
Chu Zhuang chuckled lightly, and comforted him: "It's getting late, hurry up, the second brother is probably already in a hurry."
It's getting late now, if Yunmengxi doesn't go back, maybe even Yunhong can't stand it anymore.
"Well, then I'm leaving!"
Yunmengxi left without turning her head. Although she knew that Xue Qing and Bai Dali were taking care of Chuzhuang, she always felt a little uneasy when she was not around.
In the next few days, Yunmengxi would come over every night, seeing that Chu Zhuang's body was recovering day by day, his frown that had been tightly frowned was relieved.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Xiangguo Temple with Brother Chun and some wives to burn incense and pray for blessings. I will stay there for one night, so I won't be able to come tomorrow night." Yunmengxi said while looking at Chu Zhuang.
Tomorrow is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the day when Yunmengxi and Li Chun made an appointment to burn incense and pray for blessings.
"Xiangguo Temple, I will go tomorrow too!" Chu Zhuang said after thinking about it.
Burning incense and praying for blessings is just an excuse. The real purpose is to find an opportunity for Li Chun and Yunhong to meet and then implement their plan.
"No! Xiangguo Temple is on the mountain. It's cold on the mountain. You just recovered from your body. How can you go there!" Yunmengxi frowned and refused.
"I'm cured."
Chu Zhuang persuaded: "It's not a problem to be bored in the room all the time. Didn't Doctor Xue also say that he wants me to go out to get some air?"
If Chu Zhuang's illness is still not cured, naturally he needs to recuperate in bed.
But the person has already recovered, and if he stays in the room for a long time, he will be suffocated.
Moreover, Chu Zhuang's body is not weak, he insists on exercising every day, and a minor illness once a year is not a big deal.
Chu Zhuang didn't want Yunmengxi to treat him like a glass doll.
"This..." Yunmengxi looked at Chu Zhuang's expression and knew that he really wanted to go, so he hesitated for a while.
"Can't your wives and ladies go too? I'm a man anyway, so I can't possibly be weaker than them?" Chu Zhuang comforted Yunmengxi and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and I will wear furs and hats well." Yes, I will never let myself get sick again!"
For the trip to Xiangguo Temple, Chu Zhuang made up his mind to take a trip.
Not only about Yunhong, but also about Huiming.
Taking this opportunity, he wanted to see what secrets were hidden in Xiangguo Temple.
"Are you really going?" Yun Mengxi asked sullenly, holding Chu Zhuang's hand.
Chu Zhuang took Yunmengxi's hand, pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the lips, and said, "Well, I can't stop going out because of a minor illness. Bar?"
If you give up eating because of choking, it would be a bit too much.
"Then you go with the eldest brother and the second brother, and there will be someone to take care of you on the way." Yunmengxi said after thinking about it.
"Okay, I got it, I will go with my eldest brother tomorrow." Chu Zhuang chuckled lightly, and nodded Yunmengxi's nose and said.
……
"Miss, I found out that Li Chun is going to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense tomorrow!" The servant girl Xiang'er hurriedly came to report to Sima Qitong.
"are you sure?"
Sima Qitong's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she immediately looked at Xiang'er and asked.
"Miss, it is absolutely true!"
Xiang'er immediately said: "Not only Li Chun will go, but the wife of the Li family and other young ladies will all go back!"
"Oh, by the way, I heard from the villain of the Li family that Yunmengxi will also set off with Li Chun!" Xiang'er added.
"Yunmengxi actually went too?"
Sima Qitong frowned, Li Chun was easy to deal with, but Yunmengxi was so powerful, if he was by Li Chun's side, how could she do anything?
The people she was looking for were not Yunmengxi's opponents!
If he wanted to deal with Yunmengxi, he had to find those martial arts masters in the mansion.
It's just that these people only obey Sima Weibo's orders, even if she is a young lady in Sima's mansion, she can't stop these people.
"Looks like I need to ask my brother for help!" Sima Qitong thought for a while and said.
No matter what, she will not let Li Chun go easily.
As long as Li Chun is gone, no one can compete with her for Yunhong!
"But miss, young master, he just said last time that you won't touch Li Chun..." Xiang'er said with some embarrassment.
Sima Jincheng warned Sima Qitong not to let him deal with Li Chun earlier, but now it is so easy to ask him for help!
"Humph!"
The corners of Sima Qitong's lips turned up, showing a sarcastic smile and said: "I asked my brother to borrow someone to deal with Yunmengxi, but I didn't say I was going to deal with Li Chun!"
As long as Yunmengxi can be lured away, it will not be easy for her people to deal with Li Chun!
"Brother was hurt so badly by the Yun family this time, he must be holding his breath. Given this opportunity to deal with Yunmengxi, he will definitely help me!" Sima Qitong said with a sneer.
"Miss is so smart!" Xiang'er's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she immediately praised happily.
"Go! Find brother!"
As long as Sima Qitong thought that she would be able to deal with Li Chun immediately, she would feel extremely excited, and immediately ran to find Sima Weibo without thinking about other things.
Sima Weibo was talking to Chu Zhangyang in the room at this time.
"Father is sick and still recuperating. I mentioned the matter of Chu Zhuang to him, but his mind is all on the golden Buddha. He suspects that he only wants to present the golden Buddha to the emperor. For the time being..." Chu Zhangyang was in a dilemma looked at Sima Weibo intently.
Originally, Chu Zhangyang thought that once he and Chu Lianqing mentioned the matter of Chuzhuang, Chu Lianqing would be very happy to help deal with Chuzhuang.
Who knew that Chu Lianqing wouldn't take up this topic at all. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite afraid of Chu Zhuang.
Chu Zhangyang asked Chu Nan to inquire, and only then did he know that Chu Lianqing's behavior was caused by "female ghosts".
Chu Lianqing thought that the "female ghost" would not dare to follow him after leaving the Jiqing Mansion and with the Golden Buddha beside him.
But along the way, Chu Lianqing fell ill one after another. He found an opportunity to contact the Golden Buddha, and his condition eased. Seeing that the Golden Buddha was about to leave his side, his illness began to recur again.
Chu Lianqing firmly believed that the "female ghost" was still by his side at this time, but he hadn't taken action against him yet.
He didn't dare to attack Chu Zhuang until he found a way to deal with the female ghost.
Chu Zhangyang saw that all the people who followed were concerned, and he was a little scared when he mentioned the "female ghost"'s expression changed.
"Providing the Golden Buddha is a big deal, let's talk about dealing with Chuzhuang later."
Sima Jincheng also knew the priorities of the matter, and it was not the best time to deal with Chu Zhuang, so he was angry when he heard this.
Seeing that Sima Jincheng was not angry because of this, Chu Zhangyang was slightly relieved. Right now, he put all his future on Sima Jincheng, and he didn't dare to anger Sima Jincheng.
"Brother! Are you feeling better?"
Sima Qitong broke in without being informed by the servants.
Sima Jincheng frowned, looked at Sima Qitong and reminded: "Qitong, there are still foreigners here."
"Isn't this brother's own person! What does it matter!"
Sima Qitong didn't care at all, obviously she also knew that Chu Zhangyang was someone close to Sima Jincheng.
"Miss Sima." Chu Zhangyang bowed to Sima Qitong, stood aside and said nothing, obviously not wanting to get involved in the quarrel between their siblings.
"What are you doing here?" Sima Jincheng knew very well about his younger sister. She definitely didn't come here to care about her injuries.
"Brother, when I heard that you were beaten by members of the Yun family, I couldn't be more angry, so I decided to help you avenge!"
Sima Qitong came to the bedside, looked at Sima Jincheng and said directly.
"revenge?"
Sima Jincheng sneered, looked Sima Qitong up and down and said, "Are you avenging me?"
It's not that he looks down on Sima Qitong, Sima Qitong can't deal with anyone in the Yun family.
Not to mention, Sima Qitong was still preoccupied with Yunhong.
Sima Jincheng was in a very clear mood. If Yunhong asked Sima Qitong to deal with his big brother, he would probably agree without saying a word once Sima Qitong was in love with him.
Now that Sima Qitong said that he would help him deal with the Yun family, Sima Jincheng 1 did not believe it.
"Brother, don't believe me! I'm serious!"
Seeing Sima Jincheng's appearance, Sima Qitong chopped off his feet and said angrily.
"How are you going to deal with the Yun family?" Sima Jincheng pouted and asked casually.
"Yunmengxi will go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense tomorrow, accompanied by some women, children and ordinary servants. At that time, as long as we find a way to lure Yunmengxi out, can't we attack him?"
"As long as Yunmengxi is in my brother's hands, then brother can vent his anger however he wants?"
Sima Qitong immediately told Sima Jincheng of her plan.
Her goal was only Li Chun, so she didn't care at all what would happen to Yunmengxi after he was captured and fell into Sima Jincheng's hands.
"There must be a lot of people going to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow, it's inconvenient to do it!"
Sima Jincheng narrowed his eyes. Although he said so, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was tempted.
Jingheng and most of the monks in Xiangguo Temple are currently in the palace. Although these ladies and ladies have brought guards, they are all ordinary martial arts people.
Especially since the Xiangguo Temple is not in the Dongfeng Prefecture, they are not afraid of attracting the attention of the Imperial City Secretary, so they don't have so many scruples.
If they were able to capture Yunmengxi here, according to how much the Yun family valued Yunmengxi, wouldn't the Yun family just let them decide?
"Mr. Sima, we don't need force, we can do it by outsmarting."
Chu Zhangyang listened for a while, and immediately came forward to offer advice: "As long as we drink drugs during the fast meal at Xiangguo Temple..."
When Sima Jincheng and Sima Qitong heard this, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Chu Zhangyang in surprise.
"Find someone pretending to be a little novice to infiltrate Xiangguo Temple, and then give Yunmengxi a fast meal under an excuse. As long as Yunmengxi is unconscious, it will be easy for us to take him away." Chu Zhangyang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Sima Jincheng said excitedly, narrowing his eyes.
He took a look at the injuries on his body, the large and small wounds on his body hadn't healed, especially the bloody hole in Chu Zhuang's arm, as long as he moved his hand, it would still hurt unceasingly.
When had Sima Jincheng suffered such a loss?
He had endured the Yun family before because he had no chance to do anything. Now that he has the chance to take revenge, how could he let it go!
"Go and call Zhao Tai over!"
Sima Jincheng thought for a while and ordered.
Zhao Tai is a master who is good at using poison. The purpose of Sima Jincheng calling him is obvious. He is going to attack Yunmengxi!
Sima Qitong looked at Sima Jincheng, his eyes flickering.
After solving Yunmengxi, it is not easy to deal with Li Chun!
Li Chun, oh Li Chun, don't blame me for being cruel, blame me if you want, who made you cling to Yunhong all the time, and Yunhong treats you very special!
……
"Huiming, tomorrow we will go to Xiangguo Temple."
In the evening, Chu Zhuang found Huiming and told him about going to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow.
"At this moment in the temple, some important monks, including Jingheng, are in the palace. We just took this opportunity to investigate the secrets hidden in Xiangguo Temple!"
This is the purpose of Chu Zhuang. If Jing Heng is here, he will not go, but Jing Heng is not here, this is an excellent opportunity, and Chu Zhuang will not miss this opportunity.
"Well, good!" Huiming nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
"After all, you came out of Xiangguo Temple, so just in case, we both sat in a disguise." Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said.
After being caught by Yun Zhanfei for doing bad things in Ming County and Yunmengxi, Chu Zhuang became more cautious in his actions.
After all, Xiangguo Temple is a national temple, if someone finds out, then he and Huiming will have nothing to do with it.
But if they changed their clothes, even if they were discovered, they would not know that they did it.
Huiming also knew something about Chu Zhuang's disguise technique, so he smiled and said, "Everything is at your disposal!"
Huiming drew the topographic map of Xiangguo Temple in his memory, and then said, "This is the topographic map of more than ten years ago. I don't know what's going on inside now."
"Go and have a look tomorrow." Chu Zhuang wrote down the topographic map, discussed briefly with Huiming, and then left.
When Chuzhuang returned to the room, Yunmengxi was already lying on the bed.
"Chu Zhuang, the bed is already warm, come up quickly!" Yun Mengxi said immediately when she saw Chu Zhuang come back.
Chu Zhuang smiled, closed the door, and walked towards Yunmengxi.
When Chu Zhuang woke up early the next morning, the people around him had already left. Today, Yunmengxi was going to find Li Chun to set off together, so naturally he would not go with Chu Zhuang.
After Chu Zhuang tidied up his clothes, he put on a face-changing makeup for Huiming and himself, and then waited in the yard for Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong to come over.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Wu opened the door.
"Chu Zhuang, has he woken up yet? It's about time we set off!"
Yun Zhanfei walked in carelessly, and Yunhong followed him. Compared with the casual clothes in the past, Yunhong looked much more refined today.
Chu Zhuang's gaze stayed on Yunhong's body for a second, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Although Yunhong didn't say he cared about Li Chun, his behavior showed his true heart.
When a male in the animal kingdom faces a female he likes, he can't help showing his best and most powerful side.
Yunhong is not a person who pays attention to appearance at all on weekdays, but today even his hair has been specially taken care of. He doesn't think Yunhong's attire is for them to see.
"Big brother, second brother."
Chu Zhuang went up to meet him.
Yun Zhanfei and Yun Hong stared at the strange person in front of them, but when they heard the familiar voice of the other party and Yunmengxi's disguise before, they quickly realized it.
"Chuzhuang?"
Yun Zhanfei looked Chu Zhuang up and down, and asked, "Are you changing your appearance again?"
"There are too many people staring at me recently, it's not easy to attract people's attention by changing my face." Chu Zhuang explained briefly.
It's not unreasonable for him to say that.
The Chunwei scientific examination is coming soon, and Chu Zhuang is a figure in the limelight, although everyone says that he may not pass the first round of examinations.
But after all, it is only possible, no one can guarantee that Chu Zhuang will fail [-]%.
And as long as Chuzhuang passed the first round of exams, it would be a very big threat to everyone.
With such a No. [-] person, it means that everyone's ranking has to be lowered.
Therefore, there are not a few people staring at Chu Zhuang at this time, and many of them want to play tricks on Chu Zhuang before the scientific examination.
These dark and nasty things have happened repeatedly in the scientific research in the past years, and they have become a routine.
"It really needs to be easier!"
Yunhong nodded slightly, then said after a pause, "By the way, Chu Zhuang, there is something I need to inform you."
"What's the matter?" Seeing Yunhong's serious expression, Chu Zhuang asked suspiciously.
"On the 15th Lantern Festival, you have to enter the palace to attend the Lantern Festival dinner." Yun Hong said.
Yun Zhanfei nodded, and reminded from the side: "The emperor said it himself."
The so-called Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival, but the names in the north and the south are different.
Every year on this day, the emperor will hold a large-scale banquet to entertain all the officials, and the harem will also entertain high-ranking ladies.
On this day, almost half of the dignitaries of Dongfeng Mansion will be in the palace.
but……
"The emperor asked me to attend the Yuanxi party?" Chu Zhuang showed a puzzled and shocked expression.
If it was one year later, Chu Zhuang would still be able to express his understanding, but right now he is just a small scholar, although he has a bit of a reputation, but it is not enough for the emperor to let him participate in this level of banquet, right?
