    In anger, Shang Cheng slammed the door and left, and the party naturally broke up unhappy.

    Chen Pu casually dropped a few polite words, took Tian Xiu and went out and went downstairs.  Regarding what Shang Cheng said just now, she felt that she had some insights, but these insights happened to be sudden flashes of inspiration. They came and went quickly. She couldn't catch them and couldn't touch them. She was so anxious that she wished she could  She grabbed Shang Cheng and said it again, and then asked him to chew up all the truths in it and crush them to pieces, and tell her one by one in detail!

    She dragged Tian Xiu and hurriedly ran to the Linyuan attic. She stood on the stone steps in front of the building and looked around.  At this time, the first watch has just ended and the second watch has just begun. It is the busiest time in the market. Many acrobatic troupes block the streets and draw circles to perform acrobatics, attracting tourists to stop and watch, and burst out from time to time.  Soaring cheers; vendors selling snacks, candies, fermented glutinous rice wine and food along the street, singing-like shouts rising and falling here and there, occasionally mixed with the clear tones of silk and bamboo on the singing floor of the wine shop and the melodious singing of singing girls and dancers; I don¡¯t know who is on the other side of the street.  Which big shop had a happy event? A foot-high archway was erected in front of the door. Operators were dressed in colorful dazzling clothes, wearing paper masks that were either ferocious, kind, handsome or ugly, and were performing puppet shows to the sound of sonorous gongs and drums.  "Mu Lian Saves His Mother" attracted hundreds of people and surrounded the archway The light and shadow in the near area were intertwined with people coming and going, and the lights in the distance were bright and brilliant. There were crowds of heads everywhere, and there was no figure like Shang Cheng anywhere.  ?  Chen Pu was so anxious that he stamped his feet!  But there was nothing we could do.  She can't chase him to Ying County's uncle's house, right?

    She poured out all her resentment on Tian Xiu.  She complained to Tian Xiu and said, "Look, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I would definitely be able to catch Shang Yanshan!"

    Tian Xiu didn¡¯t want to separate from Chen Pu.  Her face wasn't looking good, she was still very pale.  For her, the scene that happened in the private room was so intense that she couldn't react in a hurry.  Of course, Shang Cheng's look after taking off his blindfold was really terrifying.  Until now, she didn't dare to think about it.  But the harder she tried to teach herself not to think about it, the more her mind turned to that scene, and then her hands and feet felt stiff and her whole body felt cold.  Even when she heard Chen Pu mention the three words "Shang Yanshan", she couldn't help but shudder.

    She made no excuses, silently followed Chen Pu onto the horse, and looked back without saying a word.  When she arrived at the princess's residence in Nanyang, she thought that Chen Pu would return to her princess's residence.  But Chen Pu also dismounted with her, threw the riding whip to the female bodyguard, and said, "I will stay here tonight."

    Tian Xiu said nothing.  She had no intention of caring about where Gu Chenpu would rest at night.  She didn't even pay attention to what Chen Pu said.

    She returned to her bedroom, took off her hair, changed into her official robe, took off her official boots, and washed her face and hands in the hot hands of the maid.  When she did these things, it was entirely out of habits she had developed over a long period of time.  Her hands and feet were moving, but her mind was not on the things in front of her at all.  After washing her face and hands, and then changing into ordinary clothes for home use, she sat in front of the desk and began to daze.

    What happened in the restaurant not long ago was really shocking, so she still hasn¡¯t been able to calm down

    Speaking of which, this was not the first time she saw Shang Cheng take off his blindfold.  The year before last, around this time, she had met Shang Cheng in Beijing.  Shang Cheng also rescued her once.  In order to save her, Shang Cheng let go of a female bandit.  She could no longer remember the appearance or name of the female bandit; she only remembered that the woman had an excellent voice, and her voice seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and crack rocks and shake the sky.  She remembered that when facing the female gangster that night, Shang Cheng took off his blindfold. At that time, the female gangster was so frightened that she was shaking all over and could not even hold the paper knife against her neck; but she did not  I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything scary about Shang Cheng.  At the end of last year, she accompanied Mr. Dingyi to meet Shang Cheng at the princess's residence in Nanyang.  At the banquet that night, Shang Cheng drank too much. When she raised her head to the sky and held her fou, and her ears were hot from the wine, Shang Cheng also took off her blindfold, but she still didn't feel any fear.  Now that we knew each other, we gradually had some contact with each other.  As she took a job in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry continued to burn glass and make coke under Shang Cheng's suggestion. Due to official duties, she and Shang Cheng gradually became familiar with each other. Of course, she did not think that Shang Cheng was worthy of anyone.  A place of awe.

    In her impression, Shang Cheng is a very puzzling person.  His origins are inexplicable - anyone can tell that his resume is forged at a glance, but no one pays attention to it or pursues it; his promotion is inexplicable, he has neither won nor lost any battles, and then he was awarded the title of Zhu Guoxiang.  His title is actually a county uncle; his position is also inexplicable. He is neither a clan nor a wealthy family, but he has become the deputy commander of Pingyuan General Mansion; his knowledge is even more inexplicable. He can fly in the sky, run on the earth, and swim in the water. Basically, there is no one like him.  He didn't know, and he could pick out something at random, and he could tell some truths casually. He could even talk about things in the sun and the moon. He brought out a set of insights, and he was actually cited as a confidant by Mr. Dingyi Yes  Yes, thisHe can also annotate "Tianwen" and be good at calligraphy yes, he is also good at the art of war. In front of him, Chen Pu and Shangguan Rui are like children who have learned nothing.  She was scolded so badly by him that she didn't even dare to defend herself. It was obvious that this person's temper was not ordinary - this was more in line with her impression of Shang Cheng.  Who doesn't know that Uncle Yingxian has a bad temper and a fiery temper?  After all, he is a person who dares to fight Yang Du and Gu Shi at the same time in the Zichen Palace. If his temper is not bad, can he provoke the two Shang Zhuguo in that place and on that occasion?

    She was thinking wildly when she suddenly heard her little maid speaking: "Princess, please drink tea"

    She turned around and realized that Chen Pu, who had changed his clothes, had come to her room at some point and was now sitting diagonally opposite her.

    Chen Pu pointed at the table and asked the maid to put down the tea cup.

    The maid put down the tea cup and a pot of freshly brewed tea soup, and went out quietly.  She quickly delivered some snacks and preserved fruits on a wooden tray.  Tian Xiu has a problem when reading. She likes to stuff her mouth with candied fruits and chew them while reading. Another problem is that she sometimes stays up late reading, and gets hungry in the middle of the night, so she just needs some snacks.

    The maid arranged a few plates and went out quietly.  This time, she even closed the door.

    The small bedroom immediately became quiet.

    Chen Pu said nothing.  Tian Xiu didn't say anything either.  One of the two people was staring at the lantern on the table in a daze, and the other was staring at the hot steam rising from the tea cup in front of him.

    After a long time, Chen Pu suddenly asked: "During the last years of the previous dynasty, did the Tubo invade Chengdu?"

    Tian Xiu didn¡¯t respond for a moment, but just glanced at Chen Pu doubtfully.  She hadn't been able to turn her mind to what was before her.

    "Why can't I remember such a thing? Which book has it recorded?" Chen Pu continued.

    Tian Xiu thought for a while and said, "I don't remember this either. There is only one record, which is somewhat similar to what Ying Bo said. The "Book of Tang" records that in the tenth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty, the then Xichuan Jiedu envoy  Wang Dian abandoned Niulanzhai, and the Tubo people took Jiang Erqing as their commander. He led 50,000 troops and crossed the Zhuoshui River. They first took Lizhou and then went to Yazhou. They came to Qionguan City and then Chengdu was shaken. Jiang Erqing plundered a population of tens of thousands.  Third, he fled to Niushan."

    Chen Pu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head, chuckled and said, "I can't believe this book."

    Tian Xiu glanced at her in surprise.  She knew her friend very well. Chen Pu had never doubted the knowledge in books, so when she first heard that she said that the records in "Tang Shu" were not trustworthy, she was also very suspicious of this history book, which inevitably made her surprised.  Curious again.  In fact, she remembered that Chen Pu rarely even read history books. How could he suddenly point out that "Book of Tang" was not trustworthy?

    The surprised look on Tian Xiu¡¯s face made Chen Pu feel proud.  She said: "Didn't you hear what Shangguan Rui said? With the great strength of our country, Zhao was in great difficulty in supplying food and fodder for the three thousand garrison troops in Yali and Li states. In the end, they had to be dismissed. If the Tubo people had five  Wan, where did they find food to support the military? It's not that there is no food in the southwest, but the roads are difficult or even non-existent, so food cannot be transported. Even the food roads that supply three thousand soldiers and horses are not smooth, how to ensure that  The march of the 50,000-strong army and the accompanying army and subsequent passage of food and baggage? So this paragraph in the "Book of Tang" must be made up; at least it exaggerates the strength of the Tubo people."

    Tian Xiu thought about it and felt that this was the truth.  She smiled and said to Chen Pu, "We haven't seen each other for a few days. You have improved your skills."

    "That's right!" Chen Pu put down the tea cup in his hand and said proudly.  But she immediately became discouraged, lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that no matter how good you become, you're still a piece of shit."

    Seeing that she didn¡¯t look angry, Tian Xiu joked, ¡°Isn¡¯t General Shangguan also a bullshit?¡±

    "Ha!" When Shangguan Rui was mentioned, Chen Pu immediately became happy again, "And Xiao Xiao Ha, that's who it is, you know! He is too, and so is Haha" She really  Very happy.  She really felt honored to be able to "make no sense" with Xiao Jian and Shangguan Rui.  So she wasn't angry with Shang Cheng at all this time.  She couldn't be happier to be able to "keep pace" with veterans like Xiao Jian and Shangguan Rui.  As for the reason why she was compared with those two, she didn't care at all.

    The two of them chatted happily about this matter, and Tian Xiu asked: "Has Shang Yanshan always been like this, like this" She felt a little embarrassed about the wording, and it took her a long time to find a suitable way to say it.  "Have you always been so straightforward?"

    Chen Pu couldn¡¯t answer this question.  When she was in Yanshan, Shang Cheng had been recuperating from illness, and the two of them didn't have much contact.  How did Shang Cheng reorganize the military in Yanshan later?She mainly learned about government affairs from other people's letters.  However, she still said more pertinently: "I heard people say that he is quite reasonable when dealing with local affairs. But when it comes to military matters, just he is not very reasonable. Over there in Yanshan  Most of the disobedient people were taught a lesson by him, and some of them were punished quite harshly. Many of the original sixth- and seventh-grade officers were kicked out of the Guards by him and sent to lead small local garrison troops. Shang  Zida's prestige in the Yanshan Guards is very high, just like General Xiao and General Yang's status in the Forbidden Army earlier. There is another one, this person is indeed very capable in the military. In this regard, Zhang  Park should have a deep understanding.¡±

    Since Chen Pu mentioned Zhang Pu, the topic cannot be continued.  As a princess, Chen Pu could talk about the prime ministers casually; but Tian Xiu was only a seventh-rank official, so she could not talk about the prime ministers casually.

    The two of them changed the topic and talked about other things, and Chen Pu went back to the house to rest.

    After a tiring day, Tian Xiu also felt very sleepy. She also wanted to rest.  But she didn't know why, but she couldn't fall asleep when she lay down.  In the end, I had no choice but to get up and sharpen my ink. I picked up my pen and carefully wrote down what Shang Cheng said about how to make a celestial instrument. He also carefully wrote down all the new terms such as "carbon steel", "tungsten ore" and "tungsten steel".  I wrote it down in my notes, and then wrote in my diary. Finally, sleepiness came over me, and I lay down again.  After another long while, she finally fell asleep
