Isn't that right?
Ah Dian pulled her hand off, turned around and looked behind him, changed from sitting cross-legged to sitting on his knees, and smiled proudly after guessing correctly: "What's wrong? I guessed it right!"
Chang Suining looked into his sleepy but increasingly clear eyes and said, "You guessed wrong."
Ah Dian snorted: "You are lying!"
"You are lying." Chang Suining sat on the blanket, tilted his head slightly, stared at him, and asked with a smile: "Little Adian, didn't you say that you could recognize me at a glance and smell me out at once?"
The biggest secret was suddenly revealed by her in such a relaxed and casual manner.
Ah Dian was stunned for a moment, with a frozen expression on his face.
After reacting for a while, he tilted his head in confusion, with confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.
Meeting those smiling eyes, his confusion became more and more intense. He scratched his head with his hands, began to panic inexplicably, moved his mouth a few times but didn't know what to say. He was at a loss for a moment.
He raised his hand and grabbed the girl's shoulders, looking around as if trying to find out what she had "hidden".
He was very anxious.
Everything in front of him seemed to disappear, leaving only the pair of eyes looking at him.
Those eyes seemed to transform into a foggy forest, trapping him inside.
At this moment, he was like a clumsy little animal running wildly in a daze. In this boundless fog, he kept knocking away the branches and vines that blocked his way, running forward non-stop, trying to find a way out and the answer.
His intuition told him that the most important thing to him was hidden at the end of the fog.
But he couldn't run away no matter what he did. He was so anxious that he was about to cry, but it seemed that even his voice was trapped, making him unable to speak and sweating anxiously.
Until a cool index finger gently touched his forehead.
His tall and broad figure made the girl sitting on the blanket in front of him look even thinner and smaller.
But in comparison, he looks more like a child.
The girl raised her finger on his forehead, then lowered it again, and said slowly, "Call the troops and generals, ride horses to fight..."
Adian, who was running in the fog, suddenly stopped.
He saw the fog in front of him suddenly dissipate, and the scorching sunlight shone in, dispelling his confusion and anxiety.
He saw a familiar figure standing in the sunlight. The owner of that figure was slowly turning around as he watched with bated breath...
The voice continued: "...Whoever you point out, follow me. If you don't leave, then..."
The back has turned around.
He saw it!
Then, Adian opened his red eyes and finally uttered, "...Your Highness! Adian will not be a puppy!"
So it's Your Highness!
His Highness is back!
Everything in front of him was blurred by tears. He couldn't see the people in front of him clearly, but he didn't need to use his eyes to see!
The eyes can deceive, but the heart cannot!
Adian burst into tears and rushed towards the person in front of him, hugging him.
Chang Suining was nearly knocked over by him.
"I knew it, I knew it!" Ah Dian cried loudly, "I knew they were lying!"
"They say that once someone dies, they are dead, and you can never see them again, wuwuwu!"
"I don't believe them! His Highness promised me that he would come back. I know that His Highness never lies! Fortunately, Adian only believes His Highness's words!"
He had quarreled with many people because of this, became willful and disobedient because of this, and secretly ran to Jingling Mausoleum and fought with the guards guarding the mausoleum. He said he wanted to see the prince, but everyone stopped him and said that he was indeed an unreasonable fool.
These things that I didn't feel were unfair at the time, now in front of His Highness, I finally dared to turn them into grievances that I could express out loud.
He cried in grievance, saying some words that seemed incoherent.
“…”
"Your Highness, I have always been obedient and waiting for you to come back. I am not a puppy!"
"I know." Chang Suining felt like a puppy at the moment, about to be suffocated to death by him. She finally pushed away Adian who was tightly wrapped around her like a big bear, put her hands on his shoulders, and smiled, "I'm not a puppy either. I didn't break my promise, did I?"
When she went to Beidi, they had made a pinky promise that she would come back and he would wait for her to come back. Whoever broke his promise would be a puppy.
"Yes!" Adian nodded heavily while crying.
As he spoke, he stretched out his ten fingers and gestured in front of her, his eyes full of tears of grievance: "I have waited for Your Highness for a long, long time. It has snowed many times and thundered many times!"
"I know, our Adian is most afraid of thunder." Chang Suining took out a handkerchief from his lapel. Her Adian was very clean and always carried a small handkerchief with him, folded neatly and hidden under his robe.
He couldn't calculate and couldn't understand the passage of time. When she was there, he liked to use "how many times the flowers bloomed" to represent the passage of time.
But after she left, he no longer used flowers, and instead used "it snowed many times" and "it thundered many times" to represent the days of separation.
It seemed that during the days of separation, all that remained in his world were rain, thunder and snow, which left the deepest impression on him.
He couldn't clearly express his grievances and torment, but he expressed them so clearly.
"Your Highness, why did you come back just now?" Adian wiped his tears with the back of his hand and asked with a sob, as if there was a hint of complaint in his tone, but also very gentle.
Chang Suining said softly, "Because the road is a bit long, I walked a little slowly."
Is that so?
Ah Dian understood her immediately and said quickly, "It's okay. You can't be in a hurry when traveling. Safety is the most important thing!"
Anyway, he can wait as long as His Highness comes back safely, it doesn't matter if he is a little anxious! "Well, safety is the most important thing." Chang Suining stuffed the handkerchief into his hand and said with a smile: "So I came back safely."
This sentence made Adian very happy. He smiled happily. Then he thought of something and his face straightened. He hurriedly explained himself: "Your Highness, Adian is not lying. Adian recognized you a long time ago!"
Then he stretched out his hand as if to swear: "Really!"
Chang Suining smiled: "I know, Adian has already recognized it and smelled it...but Adian doesn't know how to say it."
The real Ah Li and Ah Dian were not close, and they did not have much interaction in the past. It was after she became Ah Li that Ah Dian suddenly began to get close to her, trust her, and follow her. All of this was because he "recognized" her.
When it comes to who recognized her first, Adian should be the first.
The second one should be Liuhuo, and the third one... should be Cui Jing.
Hmm... With such a comparison, a man, a horse and a child, being able to blend in among them, Cui Jing is indeed a very magical existence.
Chang Suining thought so.
And with her affirmation, Adian became even happier.
He stopped crying and started to have extra attention.
He looked at the person in front of him, revealing confusion and curiosity: "But Your Highness...how did you become a girl now?"
His mind is different from that of ordinary people. What others see as "reincarnation" is just a simple "change" for him.
Chang Suining blinked: "Isn't it good to become a girl?"
She almost forgot that, unlike Lao Chang and the others, Adian had never known the identity of her daughter's family. In this regard, his understanding was very slow and vague.
"It's not bad..." Ah Dian stared at her again and again, frowning slowly, and then asked the question that concerned him the most: "Your Highness, you must be in pain when you become like this, right?"
If you want to carve a piece of wood into a new shape, you have to use a sharp knife to chisel it many times.
Meeting those clear eyes that suddenly welled up with tears, Chang Suining's heart softened.
She and Adian are people who can warm each other up.
What Adian brought to her was never less than what she gave him.
She nodded: "It does hurt a little."
It didn't hurt when the knife cut across my neck, and it didn't hurt when I fell on the cold snow.
But when she looked towards her hometown, she felt pain.
Adian held back his tears, moved closer to her, picked up her hands, and blew on them.
After blowing on her hands, he went on to blow on her forehead and head.
He exhaled a lot of air, and blew very hard each time, as if he wanted to blow away all her pain.
The fluffy hair on Chang Suining's forehead was blown up by him.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"It's all healed." Chang Suining smiled, "It doesn't hurt at all."
When she returned to her hometown and saw her old friends, the pain was gone.
Adian felt much more relieved, and turned around to pour her a cup of hot tea, put it in her hand and asked her to drink it, as if she had really just traveled a long distance and just returned to him.
After Chang Suining finished drinking his tea, Ah Dian thought of another key point, so he asked, "Your Highness, you turned into Little Ah Li, then where is Little Ah Li? Where did she go?"
Chang Suining answered him seriously: "Ali and I are the same. After walking a long way, we will also change into a new look. If we are destined to meet again in the future."
"Is that so..." Ah Dian thought hard, and then said: "Then I will definitely be able to recognize her by then!"
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
Ah Dian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
Chang Suining smiled and nodded to him.
If possible, she really hopes that day will come.
Adian was no longer sleepy and knelt obediently in front of her, calling her "Your Highness" on his left and "Your Highness" on his right, with endless words to say.
Finally, Chang Suining told him: "From now on, don't call him Your Highness when you are outside."
Ah Dian was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because this is my biggest secret." Chang Suining said succinctly: "If the bad guys knew this secret, they would capture me and burn me to death as a monster."
Scaring children is her forte.
Ah Dian was indeed horrified: "Your Highness is not a monster!"
"What did you call me then?"
"My Lord..." Ah Dian covered his mouth and quickly changed his words: "Little Ah Li!"
"Ah, be good."
Chang Suining smiled and patted him on the head.
Having received this long-awaited compliment, Adian was particularly happy and satisfied. If he had a tail behind him at this moment, it would definitely wag its tail to the sky.
And then, his mind mainly revolved around one thing——
"Your Highness, there are no outsiders here now... Can I call you Your Highness? Your Highness, are you not used to being a little girl?"
"Your Highness, is it fun to be a girl?"
"Your Highness, can you turn me into a girl too?"
As he was talking, the topic gradually went off topic: "Girls can give birth to babies, but can they give birth to cats? If I become a girl, can I give birth to more cats? If I give birth to cats, what color will they be?"
"..." Chang Suining's tone was very awkward: "Well, as the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains..."
“…”
When it was almost dawn, Chang Suining came out of Adian's tent.
Xier and Ache, who were ordered to guard outside the tent, came forward.
Hearing that A Dian had just fallen asleep, Xier sighed: "General Dian is in such good spirits."
"It's New Year's Eve." Chang Suining yawned and said, "Children always like to stay up all night to celebrate New Year's Eve."
…
Chang Suining returned to his tent and slept until almost noon.
Just after washing and dressing, I heard a noisy sound outside the tent. After a while, Azhi came in and said, "Girl, there is an envoy from the capital with an imperial decree."
This group of envoys, who set out from the capital a year ago, hurried on and happened to arrive at the military camp on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This imperial edict from the capital was to commend and confer titles on Chang Kuo and his daughter, and the meritorious soldiers under their command.
The battle against Xu Zhengye has not yet ended, but the situation was special when Chang Kuo rescued Hezhou, and he also put down Li Yi's rebellion. These two merits should be rewarded separately.
In the imperial edict, the empress praised Chang Kuo and his daughter Chang Suining for their loyal, brave and righteous deeds, and granted them a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and land, which had all been sent to the residence of the General of Cavalry in the capital.
After hearing this, Chang Kuo felt a little regretful. Why not send them here together? After all, the capital is a den of wolves and tigers, and it is still uncertain whether they can return there.
Chang Kuo, who had this simple idea, gave a simple evaluation - this reward was not sincere at all.
In addition to verbal praise and gold and silver, what people care most about is obviously the reward.
The eunuch messenger continued to read aloud in public: "... Chang Suining, the daughter of General Chang Kuo, protected Hezhou with her own body, beheaded the chief culprit under Xu Zhengye, and later killed the rebel Li Yi. Her achievements are very remarkable. Although she is a woman, she is indeed an extraordinary talent. This is a sign of God's blessing on Dasheng. In order to comply with God's will, I have made an exception and appointed you as General Ningyuan, with the salary of a fifth-rank general. I hope that you will follow your father to make more achievements, repel Xu's army as soon as possible, and defend Dasheng's territory. I am waiting for the news of your triumphant return in the capital—"
The eunuch sang out the words "Qinci" and looked at Chang Suining with a smile: "General Ningyuan, please accept the order quickly."
Amid the silent gaze of the soldiers, the girl took hands and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I wish you peace and prosperity. I thank you for your grace."
The eunuch handed over the imperial edict with both hands and said with a smile: "Madam Chang is the first fifth-rank female general in Dasheng. She will surely make more outstanding achievements in the future..."
Chang Suining took it and said, "Thank you for your good words, father-in-law."
The eunuch nodded to her, then walked towards Chang Kuo and saluted him: "Your Majesty has a few more words that are not clearly stated in the imperial edict, so you asked me to convey them to General Chang privately..."
Seeing that although he said "privately", he did not mean to avoid the public, Chang Kuo also said directly: "Please speak, eunuch."
Ningning is an official, so...do you have monthly tickets? Take them out to celebrate, hehehehehahahahaha (づ￣3￣)づ╭Thank you all for your monthly tickets, and thank you book friend Zhengzhi Zhuangxin Yangsihai for your 10,000 rewards! !
