The next morning, Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian did not attend the morning court session. Instead, they each brought Zhangsun Chong and Gao Ling 'er to the Chen Family Village, Hidden Dragon Mountain on the outskirts of Chang' an.
All the officials were very curious. As long as these two people were in Chang 'an, they would never miss the morning court! They could be said to be very diligent and unchanging.
But today, both of them were absent at the same time. There was only one possibility. It meant that these two people had gone to do what His Majesty had instructed them to do.
However, no one knew what it was, and no one dared to ask Li Shiming, so they could only guess in their hearts.
"Father, Granduncle, this is Hidden Dragon Mountain.”
Zhangsun Chong pointed at the Misty Hidden Dragon Mountain and said to the two.
"Although I've lived in Chang 'an for more than ten years, this is my first time coming to Hidden Dragon Mountain in the suburbs of Chang' an.”
Zhangsun Wuji said. After they came to Chang 'an, they began to deal with government affairs. Naturally, they did not have time to come out and play.
"The scenery is very beautiful, and the clouds give people a mysterious feeling. It really lives up to the name of Hidden Dragon Mountain!”
"I just don't know if this Hidden Dragon Mountain really hides a Hidden Dragon!”
Gao Shilian seemed to be implying something.
However, Gao Ling 'er was holding Gao Shilian's arm.
"Brother Yu is very powerful. He can be said to be a genius in both literature and martial arts. Anyway, Ling 'er has never seen anyone who can fight better than Brother Yu.”
Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian burst into laughter when Gao Ling 'er said that. They thought that it was just the little girl's admiration for that kid.
They did not believe that a twelve-year-old youth would be so difficult to defeat.
Not long after, a large group of carriages arrived in front of the Chen Family Village.
The children playing at the village entrance were shocked when they saw the convoy and the dense guards behind them.
He hurriedly went into the village to call for the adults.
Not long after, Zhangsun Yu arrived at the village entrance surrounded by the villagers.
When they saw the large group of carriages, they immediately knew who had arrived. This was because Zhangsun Yu had been informed that Zhangsun Chong and his wife were going back to look for their family.
Zhangsun Yu also knew that it would be very difficult for just the few of them to complete this matter.
This was because, in this era, cotton clothing was already equivalent to the existence of a national treasure. If the children were to do it, they were not sure what would happen to them in the end.
For example, to transport goods to all parts of the Great Tang, or even to countries outside the Great Tang, it was impossible to do so in a short period of time unless the Great Tang mobilized all of its strength.
"Brother Yu!"
With a delicate cry, Ling 'er dashed into Zhangsun Yu's arms.
"Ling 'er."
Zhangsun Yu smiled and gently stroked Ling 'er's head. Perhaps he had lived two lives. Although he was the same age as Ling' er, the way they interacted made Zhangsun Yu seem like a mature big brother.
"Xiao Yu."
Zhangsun Chong followed closely behind. Behind him were a middle-aged man and an old man.
Zhangsun Chong immediately introduced him to Zhangsun Yu.
"This is Ling 'er's grandfather, the current State Duke Shen.”
Zhangsun Chong pointed at Gao Shilian and introduced him to Zhangsun Yu. Zhangsun Yu had already guessed Ling 'er's identity, so he was not surprised.
"Greetings, State Duke Shen."
Zhangsun Yu said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. After all, he had seen the world. Back at the bank of the Wei River, he had single-handedly charged at the Turkic army of one hundred thousand and killed the Jie Li Khan.
Naturally, Zhangsun Yu, who had such experience, would not act submissive in front of a small Duke.
Gao Shilian nodded in satisfaction when he saw Zhangsun Yu's reaction. He had the ability to judge people. When Li Shiming was still a hedonistic son, he had already taken a fancy to Li Shiming's future potential.
The decision to marry Empress Zhangsun to Li Shimin had allowed the Gao family to soar. Because he had taken a fancy to the number one expert of the Great Tang!
Now, looking at Zhangsun Yu, Gao Shilian's intuition told him that this child was not an ordinary person!
After introducing Gao Shilian, he introduced his father. However, Zhangsun Chong was a little embarrassed when he introduced Zhangsun Wuji because he had been hiding his identity all this while.
"Xiao Yu, I've been hiding something from you. My surname isn't Sun.”
Zhangsun Yu's expression did not change. He had already guessed it before, but he was just curious. What was Zhangsun Chong's surname?
Zhangsun Chong smiled and teased Zhangsun Yu.
"Speaking of which, do you still remember how surprised I was when I found out your name? Actually, the reason why I'm surprised is that your surname is actually the same as mine.”
Zhangsun Chong's words caused Zhangsun Yu to be stunned. Then, he instantly thought of something.
"Sun Chong? Zhangsun Chong?"
Thinking of this name, Zhangsun Yu immediately knew who the middle-aged man in front of him was.
"Are you Duke Zhao?"
Zhangsun Yu did not call Zhangsun Wuji by his name. Although he had never met this uncle, he was still his relative. Although they did not know, Zhangsun Yu had always remembered filial piety and respect for the elderly and the young under his mother's teachings.
"Yes, this old man. Chong-er holds you in high esteem. Today, I see that you are indeed extraordinary! To think that you can be so calm when you see me and uncle. Ordinary children can't do that.”
Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile. Actually, when he first saw Zhangsun Yu, his eyes could not leave.
This was because he could see the shadows of a few people between Zhangsun Yu's brows.
He didn't dare to imagine that the shadows of those people were actually Li Shiming, Empress Zhangsun, and himself! In between Zhangsun Yu's brows, they could actually see their shadows.
If this wasn't strange, then what was?
