"Big cousin! Big cousin! ”

Zhong Ling's joyful voice came from outside the door.

"Bang dang! ——”

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Big cousin! You see! Does my new dress look good? ”

Zhong Ling wore a bright red and bright new dress, which was very appropriate for the day when the New Year was approaching.

Ye Youhuan put down the map in his hand and looked up at Zhong Ling.

I saw Zhong Ling's playful appearance, condensed skin, and this gorgeous new dress, which was particularly eye-catching and charming.

"Beautiful!" Ye Youhuan said approvingly: "My eldest cousin is definitely the best-looking woman in this Merry City!" ”

"Is it better looking than your first love Tang Yu?"

"Of course! My eldest cousin is invincible! ”

Zhong Ling leaned close to Ye Youhuan's face, and stared at Ye Youhuan with a pair of big smart eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Ye Youhuan was puzzled.

"I want to see if you're lying."

Zhong Ling smiled, turned around and sat on the chair without delving, picked up an apple and took a bite directly.

"Big cousin, what are you looking at? Why do you lock yourself in the house in the morning? Yang Xie said that there are three days left before the New Year, and it is lively outside! ”

Zhong Ling's implication was to invite Ye Youhuan to go out to have fun, but Ye Youhuan didn't answer the conversation.

"I'm looking at a map." As he spoke, he picked up the map in his hand and pondered it carefully.

After Zhong Ling heard this, he also looked at the map in Ye Youhuan's hand curiously, and looked at it for a while before asking: "This map is so strange, how can it be drawn one by one, it is not the same as the one we saw when we were in a hurry!" ”

"Hmm!" Ye Youhuan nodded: "This is the geographical map between the northern countries, we looked at the road map before, and it is indeed different." ”

"So what's the use of that?" Zhong Ling continued to ask.

Ye Youhuan pointed to the triangular area surrounded by the sea on one side and the mountains on three sides, and said to Zhong Ling: "Look, this location is painted in our Yan Kingdom. ”

When Zhong Ling heard the word "Yan Guo", he immediately came to his senses, put down the apple in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Is this our country? Our country is shaped like this, and it feels so small! ”

Ye Youhuan drew a dividing line with his fingers on the inland of Yan Country again, and continued: "This side near the coast is Jeju, which we have just recovered. And that half is now in the hands of that fake prince. ”

"The area we recovered is so small, that is, half of the fake prince's side, right?"

Ye Youhuan nodded, obviously this topic made him not so pleasant.

Zhong Ling saw Ye Youhuan's sullenness, so he asked with concern: "Big cousin, since Shen Teng died, your mood is not high. Either shut yourself in the house, or stand by the fence in a daze. Are you reluctant to give up that Shen Teng? ”

"......" Ye Youhuan was also speechless at Zhong Ling's guess, and couldn't help but smile.

Ye Youhuan stretched out his hand and flicked Zhong Ling's little head, and said, "Your idea is really peculiar, what do I feel sorry for him?" I would love to kill him eight times out of ten! ”

"He died, for our Yan Kingdom, it was simply a great joy! Not only in addition to stumbling blocks, but also won over the Merry Chamber of Commerce and Emperor Jingguo. ”

"On New Year's Day, I'll take you to his house to set off a few more strings of firecrackers! Celebrate well! ”

"Hahaha!" When Zhong Ling heard Ye Youhuan say this, he couldn't help but laugh heartily when he imagined the scene of firecrackers in his mind.

Ye Youhuan looked at Zhong Ling's simple and straightforward appearance, and also smiled, but his heart was extremely bitter.

And this kind of bitterness cannot be resolved even by the greatest joyful event.

Because he knew that these few days were the days when Princess Jingxin was in labor.

He was worried about his child, and he was also worried about the stupid woman who had a strong stomach and wanted to steal exercises for herself.

He wasn't sure if the child had come into the world safely.

It's not sure if Princess Jingxin will kill people after Princess Jingxin gives birth to a child.

The more he thought about these uncertain things, the more he could not be happy, and even fell into a deep depression.

In the past two days, Ye Youhuan has locked himself in his room and studied the situation in various countries.

He often fantasizes about his wife and children reuniting with him, but he also knows that the possibility is slim.

He is thinking more about how to strengthen his strength, and one day, how to kill Xiao He with his own hands and regain his wife and children.

At this time, Yang Xie knocked on the door and came in.

"General!"

Yang Xie saw that as soon as he entered the door, he saw the map on Ye Youhuan's desktop. Thinking that Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling were still discussing state affairs on such a lively day, they couldn't help but rejoice, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly.

"What's the matter?" Ye Youhuan asked.

"Just now there was a letter from the Imperial City of Jingguo, saying that the emperor wants to invite you and General Zhong to go to the Imperial City on the fifth day of the first lunar month to enjoy the lanterns."

Ye Youhuan paused for a moment and said, "Hmm! That's a good thing! ”

"But......" Yang Xie stopped talking.

"But what?"

"But Tang Yu and Xiao He from Xishan Country were also invited."

Ye Youhuan frowned after hearing this.

Seeing this, Yang Xie continued: "It seems that Shen Teng's matter, Tang Yu and the others left a good impression on Emperor Jingguo, otherwise it would ......"

Yang Xie said and stopped.

Seeing this, Ye Youhuan said bluntly: "You don't have to worry, just say what you want to say." ”

Yang Xie nodded and continued: "Otherwise, how can we bring the two people who don't have titles in the Xishan Kingdom together with us and invite them at the same time?" You and General Zhong are people under one person and above ten thousand people in our Yan Kingdom, and this kind of invitation is not in line with the etiquette of a great country! ”

Ye Youhuan remained silent.

Zhong Ling interjected dissatisfiedly: "Tang Yu and the two of them have reaped the benefits, why! If it weren't for the eldest cousin pulling them to participate in Shen Teng's affairs, it is estimated that they are still playing the piano and flute in the inn! How can there be a chance to sell well in front of the emperor? Is! It seems to be more important than we are! ”

Although Zhong Ling's words were unbearing, they said what Yang Xie did not express directly.

Yang Xie couldn't let go of Ye Youhuan's opportunity to show his head skills to Emperor Jingguo to Tang Yu.

He did not agree to let Tang Yu ask the emperor for that edict, because this was obviously the best opportunity to get close to the emperor.

The benefits in hand are just handed over to others, which is too "generous".

And Yang Xie also saw that Ye Youhuan's eyes when he looked at Tang Yu were not simple, in Yang Xie's opinion, it was taboo to miss the opportunity for the sake of the private relationship between men and women.

But although Yang Xie was dissatisfied, he couldn't change Ye Youhuan's decision, so he could only complain a few words when he received this unreasonable invitation.

Ye Youhuan looked at Yang Xie and then at Zhong Ling, and he was a mirror in his heart about the dissatisfaction of the two.

"I see, you guys go out first, I want to rest for a while." Ye Youhuan threw down a sentence casually, turned around and walked towards the inside.
