Since Huang Zhong himself was not in Chengdu and was in Hanzhong, it was impossible for Liu Yan to recall the old man for personal matters. So, she first found Mrs. Huang.

Although the old lady is not as old as Huang Zhong, she is already over sixty, and this is the first time she has seen Liu Yan. As soon as I heard that it was for my son's marriage, I was so excited that I didn't open my mouth and cried first.

Liu Yan was silent when she saw this, and said in her heart that it was really a family, this old lady was the same as Old Man Huang, and when she encountered Huang Xu's matter, she immediately lost her senses.

"Madam, I came to you today to help you solve this problem. Tell me, Ling Lang is twenty-six this year, why hasn't he decided to marry yet? Even if he was seriously ill when he was young, he had already recovered, why didn't you give him Zhang Luo?"

"Your Highness, you don't know, it's not that we don't open up for him, you say, you say that I and the general are just one precious seedling, he is my eyeballs, my ...... How could I ......?" the old lady was so excited that she was incoherent, trying to defend herself but not making sense.

"Madam, don't get excited, we have time, talk slowly, talk slowly!" Liu Yan moved the bamboo slips on the table that had never been opened to the ground, poured tea for Mrs. Huang, and comforted her softly.

"Your Highness, you are Xu'er's life-saving benefactor, you know that our Xu'er's temper is exactly the same as his father's......, and he says the same! His father and he couldn't talk, I found him several families back and forth, and found Chuanuchi from Jingzhou, but guess what he said?"

"Usually he doesn't talk very much, and he hardly communicates with people,...... I guess...... He will say that he doesn't need it, or that it's useless for him to ask for it...... That's probably what it means......" Liu Yan really guessed the old lady's meaning.

"Hey...... Why don't they all say that you are discerning!" The old lady sighed: "The two of them have been going to war all the time. I prepared everything for Xu'er, just waiting for him to come back and pay a visit. As a result, the others did not come back, but asked his father to bring back an arrow that had been broken in two...... Saying that this is his yesterday and his tomorrow scared me so much that my soul flew away.

"I hurriedly brought the girl back, thinking that when he was in a good mood, or if he stopped fighting and was too peaceful, he would find out again. I never thought that this would be a few years, and every time I mentioned this stubble to the two of them, I sighed and turned around without breaking the words. I really don't know what kind of sin I've done......"

Seeing that the old lady was crying again as she spoke, Liu Yan had to hand over a handkerchief to comfort her: "Madame, don't worry, there will always be a way." Speaking of which, he will become the way he is, and I am also responsible, if I hadn't agreed to arrange him in the scout camp, I am afraid that you would have hugged your grandson a long time ago. ”

"No, no, no" Mrs. Huang shook her hands wildly: "Although the old body is not literate, the truth is still clear." Your Highness, don't say that, this temper is the ancestral inheritance of their Huang family, what does it have to do with you? Besides, entering the scout camp is Xu'er's own choice, and his father agrees......

"Madam, since the matter has come to this point, I believe that you and General Huang will not change their minds if they wait any longer, it is better to leave this matter to me, I will call him to ask, if he still insists on refusing...... No, I'm sure he'll change his mind. Liu Yan wanted to say, "If he insists on refusing, I will directly grant the marriage." "Thinking about it again, this is not a forced buying and selling, others may be able to do this, but Huang Xu's temper, I'm afraid it won't work.

When Mrs. Huang saw that Liu Yan had responded to this matter, she was so grateful that she almost kowtowed to Liu Yan, but Liu Yan hurriedly stopped: "The matter hasn't been done yet! After it's done, it's not too late for you to bring your daughter-in-law to thank me, besides, how can you be so sure that you can be satisfied with the person I picked for you?"

"As long as Xu'er is willing, where will I be dissatisfied......?" You're laughing. The old lady wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Liu Yan understands her current mood, Huang Xu has not been married for a day, she will not really be happy.

Mrs. Huang left with red eyes, and the sharp-eyed onlookers seemed very sad when they saw her wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Xin said that it was possible that the boss talked to Huang Xu's mother for a while and crossed Huang Xu's name off the list? Or did the old lady not agree to Huang Xu to be a colt and was reprimanded by the boss? After some speculation, everyone automatically erased the latter possibility.

Who knew that three days later, Liu Yan summoned Huang Xu in the study, Huang Xu came to the door of the princess's mansion with a bow and a sword, but the guards in front of the door didn't let him put down his blade, so he let him in!

Everyone said that even if his father Huang Zhong came, he didn't dare to go in with a bow and a sword to see Her Royal Highness the princess, His Royal Highness trusted Huang Xu so much, it was simply a matter of trusting his life, did His Royal Highness really choose Huang Xu?

Now the masses can explode, Huang Xu himself is so low-key that he is almost invisible, not to mention that he usually can't see others, even in wartime, you don't know where he is. Except for errands that His Highness asked to hand over orders in person, he never took the initiative to report in front of the army.

But no one dared to covet his merits, let alone look down on him. Because his father is Huang Zhong, one of the only two people around the eldest princess who can't be offended, and because he is elusive, you offend him at one moment, and the next moment you may be a nameless corpse in the wilderness, no one cares.

His colleagues didn't dare to get close to him, and even Cen Qi, who taught him killing techniques, couldn't talk to him. If it weren't for the fact that this was the princess's mansion, if he hadn't entered like this with a bow and a sword, no one who saw him would have known that this was Huang Xu, the son of the Huang family.

Huang Xu didn't know or care how surprised others were when they saw him appear, he received a military order that the eldest princess wanted to see him in the princess's mansion. So here he comes. And because it was a military order, he was fully armed. The doorman of the princess's mansion had already received an order, Huang Xulai, just let him go directly, and there was no need to disarm.

In the study, Liu Yan was wearing a crown and was looking at a map. This is a nautical chart of the coastline under her rule. It includes three parts: Jiangdong, Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Each of the three bases has its own strengths and weaknesses. She is thinking about how to make the three bases have a linkage effect to assist the Northern Expedition that may occur in the future.

became the Marquis of Shu and became the overlord of one party, she has long since lost the idea of being a car and being in a corner of peace, and instead of it, there is a strong sense of crisis. There is reliable information that Zhang Lu has been taken to the north by Cao Cao and lives in Yecheng! The Xiliang cavalry was able to pick up Zhang Lu from the encirclement and interception of the Shu army, which shows that the road from Xiliang to Hanzhong was not familiar with the Shu army, while the Xiliang cavalry was proficient. What does this mean? This means that the Xiliang cavalry can attack at any time, and the Shu army is at an all-round disadvantage!

What's more, the people of Hanzhong are looking forward to it, hoping that Zhang Tianshi can return to his hometown. This made Liu Yan feel like a thorn in her back. Hanzhong must be settled! Even if there is no grass in the wilderness, even if there is no grass! The road leading from Hanzhong to Xiliang must also be clarified, and the enemy's comings and goings are like going to the door, so is that still like a word?

Compared with Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Liu Yan has always had reservations about the situation in Sichuan. It's not that she doesn't have confidence in her subordinates, but she feels that they always have problems and carry them by herself, and she doesn't have confidence in her boss if she doesn't report good news or bad news. It feels like they all hold her like a real princess, everyone knows that this princess is just a title, and she is essentially a dog's tail grass abandoned on the side of the road without a father or mother.

At this time, she looked at the map and sighed: If it had been changed before, the teacher would have said that if Hanzhong was unstable, Chengdu would be unstable. Xiliang Tieqi can borrow the springboard in Hanzhong and go as he goes, and I should prepare as soon as possible. But now, if I ask for advice again, he will definitely say that the time of Shu is short, and some problems are clearly there, and there is no urgency, so I should slowly figure it out. In short, it's a sentence, nothing happened, you don't have to worry. If something happens, you still don't have to worry, your subordinates will solve it.

Why can't I be happy at all!

At the stall where Liu Yan was annoyed and angry, Yaoqin came in and reminded her: "Huang Gongzi is here." Liu Yan hurriedly gathered her thoughts and sat down: "Please let him in." ”

Huang Xu still carried a bow and a sword, and stood under the hall in such a grand manner. Bowed his head: "What is Your Highness looking for me?"

Liu Yan saw that he had no intention of taking off his shoes and going to the court, and he was not reluctant, so he took a few steps closer: "Don't be nervous, I'm not looking for you for military affairs." A few days ago, I met your mother and had some words with her. So, I wanted to meet you today. ”

"Your Highness......" Huang Xu wanted to speak, but Liu Yan interrupted him first: "They all say that you are now cherishing words like gold, and you don't want to say much to anyone, which is not good, not good for you." ”

"......" Huang Xu shut up, he didn't feel the need to ask why.

"Most of the Assassins who have gone down in history have died one step or a few steps away from their targets, and they have not succeeded, but this does not affect their longevity. Liu Yan looked at the young man in front of him who had already judged the two of them, but the picture in his mind was still the fragile but stubborn appearance when he first saw him.

"I said to your father that only by living can a man have a future. If you die, there's nothing. Whether I allow you to enter the scout camp or let Cen Qi teach you killing skills, I don't want you to become what you are now. Liu Yan sighed: "I knew that you would become like this, so it is better to let you follow Mr. Zhang to study medicine!"

"There's nothing wrong with that, for me, killing people is saving people. Huang Xu suddenly spoke.

"Your father has accumulated enough popularity for you, even if he used to want you to be blue, it was a thing of the past, you pushed yourself so hard, I can only understand that it is because of me. The more you do that, the more I feel ashamed of your parents. ”

"Father is father, I am me. Your Highness's remarks today are to remind me that no matter what I do or how I do, the world will not be able to see me alone, not through me, to see my father's shadow, no, I am not my father's shadow!"

"I also had the same thought as you, I am me, and my father is my father......" Liu Yan turned around and walked in, beckoning Huang Xu to take off his shoes and heels, but the other party was unmoved.

"But it didn't work, it didn't do anything other than it was more painful for me. Everyone reminds me repeatedly and all the time that he is your father and you are his daughter. You should listen to him, you should help him, you should take him in, you should save him, but no one has ever thought about me. Even the people I thought were closest to me advised me to ......"

Liu Yan poured herself a bowl of water, filled another empty bowl in front of her, and beckoned Huang Xu again: "Come and sit ......"

"Your Highness...... Do you have a father too?" Huang Xu had never heard of Liu Yan. The Liu Yan he knows has always been strong, and he has always been able to gain insight into what he thinks. Like now, he seems to be seen through again.

Huang Xu is already twenty-six years old, and after he was seen through by her ten years ago, he can't think of anything other than embarrassment and anger. But ten years later, when he encountered the same situation, he was able to face it calmly.

Seeing that Huang Xu finally sat down opposite him, a smile appeared in Liu Yan's eyes: "I have a father, my father...... I ordered you to kill. The one who died with Guan Yu was my father. ”

Huang Xugang stretched out his hand to take the tea handed over by Liu Yan, and when he heard this, his hand loosened, and the tea bowl fell to the ground: "You...... I ......"

"Don't make such a fuss, it's all in the past, he has already turned into your military exploits, and I have already let it go. Liu Yan chuckled: "I ask you, if, I mean if, you knew that he was my father, and I ordered you to kill him, can you still complete the task?"

"Yes!" This time, Huang Xu did not hesitate: "The military order is like a mountain, as long as you give the order, I can kill anyone!"

Liu Yan sighed and said: "There are 8,000 soldiers under Cen Qi's account, and the rest of them will be sincerely happy when they answer me like this, but you, I will regret it when I am happy, I regret it." ”

"My mother...... Are you crying......" Huang Xu heard Liu Yan say that she regretted it, lowered her head and asked softly.

"It has nothing to do with Madame's tears. Liu Yan interrupted him: "You, Ai'er, Sun Shao, the three of you, when I see you now, I still always think about the scene when I first met, I helped the three of you realize three different futures, but only you, makes me regret it."

You finally got rid of the pain of illness and regained hope in life, and you should have spent some more time

It is used to make up for the regrets of the past, rather than continuing to live the present day and play with death. The way you are now, no wonder your parents are sad. In fact, they are not as you think, they are counting on you to get ahead, especially your mother, you can be well, it is a gift to her. ”

"So, Your Highness summoned me today to transfer me out of the scout camp? Why bother to summon me in a crowd and directly order me to be disarmed and returned to the field?" Huang Xu finally felt a little emotional.
