Chapter Forty-Nine: The Father
Yan Shu has been in a very bad mood these days, and he almost wants to kill someone, but unfortunately, no one has made mistakes during this time.
Although he could casually call in a few chamberlains or palace maids, and then pick bones in the eggs and casually find some that they didn't have, scold them to vent their anger, and even call the guards to drag them out with a rod and kill them with a cane, no one would dare to object.
But Yan Shuyi thought that he was not that kind of person, and he didn't feel that as an emperor, he had the right to deprive others of their lives at will, so in order to vent his anger, Yan Shuyi stood in front of his seat and hammered the table in front of him fiercely, as if it was not enjoyable, so he simply kicked it.
"Whoa!" With a bang, the imperial case carved from rosewood was turned seven hundred and twenty degrees in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, shattered!
This kick is the use of extreme martial arts, and when he grows up, Yan Shuyi doesn't remember how long he hasn't used extreme martial arts, and he is so busy every day that he even has to hurry up to eat, how can he still have time to practice martial arts.
Thinking about it this way, I still have some envy of Xiao Hongzi who went to Yunzhou to play, they have been away from Yanjing for almost ten days, and at this time they should have arrived in Chu County, although it is to run an errand, but it is obvious how much time it takes to do an errand, as long as the situation is true, he directly took out the holy decree he gave him and did it for Chu Shouren.
Maybe it was the kick just now that made him feel comfortable, or maybe it was because he thought of Jinhong and Yan Changfeng, Yan Shu's mood was much better at this time, so he patted the sawdust on his body and thought about the current matter.
Kelie escaped!
This is the news that Yan Shuyi received on the fifth day after Kelie fled from Yanjing, but it was not the post house responsible for guarding the servants of Kelie and others, but an anonymous note, on which only awkwardly wrote the four words "Kelie escaped", obviously the person who wrote this note was not from Yanguo, although the words were written very small, the weight of each word was very heavy.
At first glance, Yan Shu was almost out of breath.
Enraged, Yan Shuyi immediately sent Gongsun Yan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to lead the Imperial Forest Army to the official post where Kelie lived to see what was going on, after all, an anonymous note alone was not enough for him to believe it all, but it turned out that the note was true.
Because when Gongsun Yan felt the post station, there was no one in the rooms where Kelie and his men lived, and just when Gongsun was interrogating the errand in the post house, he suddenly received the news that more than ten Humeng people had broken through the door under the West City Gate.
So Gongsun Yan immediately led people over, and when they arrived, the troops of the patrol battalion in the west of the city had already surrounded the Humeng people who had broken through, and those Humeng people were riding on horses, viciously saying something to the Yan soldiers who were besieging them, although they didn't understand what it meant, but they didn't plan to be caught in that posture.
Several of the horses stood there with their horses empty, occasionally snorting and pouting their hooves, while their masters lay beside their hoofs, crawling or lying, but without exception, each of them had an arrow feather stuck in his body, which was used by the archers of the patrol battalion west of the city.
Gongsun Yan didn't feel sorry for these Humeng people, looking at the guy who was still shouting, Gongsun Yan had the urge to shoot him immediately.
However, their results were similar, and with Yan Shuyi's acquiescence, these Humeng people all went to the earth to worship their gods.
In fact, Yan Shu thought that he knew that among these people, there must be a Humeng person who sent a note to him, and that should be Duoduo placed by Kelie's side, and it stands to reason that he also belongs to the same person as himself, but since Kelie has escaped, the agreement with Duoduo is useless.
Since there is no agreement, then Duoduo has nothing to do with himself, and this person only found out four days after Kelie's escape that he has failed as an intelligence officer, and it is conceivable that this person has not become Kelie's real henchman.
So thinking that more than a hundred lives outside Xiema Town still needed to be repaid, Yan Shuyi didn't give him a chance to continue to live.
Then Kelie returned to Humeng, with his experience in Yanjing, it was inevitable when he waved his army south, but Yan Shuyi felt that Kelie should not be so fast, because he still had a hidden danger in Humeng that had not been removed, and perhaps Duoduo could no longer be called a hidden danger, because after this incident, Duoduo had been completely exposed.
I just don't know how much power Duoduo has pulled up over the years, and whether he has the ability to fight with Kelie.
Yan Shuyi thought about it, and unconsciously thought that although the cooperation with Duoduo failed this time, maybe this failure was not a bad thing for Dayan, because it picked the contradictions within Hu Meng to the surface, as a strong ruler, Kelie would definitely not allow this threat against himself to exist, and Duoduo would never be the kind of person who sat back and waited, so ......
"Let's fight, the harder the fight, the better!" Yan Shu thought so.
Now it depends on how much strength Duoduo has in his hands, Yan Shuyi doesn't want Duoduo to be cleaned up by Ke Lie in one photo, and he doesn't want to be beaten by Duoduo in one photo, and being evenly matched is the situation that Yan Shu is most willing to see, but this seems unlikely.
Yan Shu, who had figured out all this, began to feel better, and now he was feeling sorry for the delicate imperial case that he kicked when he was angry two days ago, and he was also planning a plan to deal with Hu Meng's southward journey, although it was said that Kelie needed to eradicate Duoduo before he could go south, but this process is estimated to not take long, at most a year, Yan Shu thought it was so estimated.
It's not that I look down on him Duoduo, but Kelie's strength is too strong.
"It's time to talk to that kid Yan Wuji, since I went to the northwest, I haven't even had a letter for so long, I really should fight."
Yan Shu scolded with a smile, then picked up the brush at hand and dipped it in ink, and wrote something on the new imperial case.
……
Yan Wuji had been staying at Yanguan since the last time he sent a letter to Yaoguan, and although he had asked Yan Hu many times to let him return to Xiema Town, Yan Hu had bluntly refused.
Yan Wuji did not live directly in the marshal's mansion in Yuguan because of his son of Yan Hu, but stayed in the camp to receive soldiers who sent letters from outside like ordinary sergeants, although Yan Hu didn't say it on the surface, he nodded secretly in his heart.
And the generals under Yan Hu are also full of praise for this, these days Yan Wuji in addition to eating and sleeping, most of the time with the garrison of Caiguan to practice together, because he does not need to be on duty at night, so he will stare at the map of Dingzhou in the northwest in a daze, maybe he is thinking about something.
Early in the morning, one of Yan Hu's guards went to Yan Wuji's residence to inform the marshal that he was invited, Yan Wuji had breakfast twice, and after packing up, he followed the guard to the Shuai's mansion.
Entering the Shuai's Mansion, Yan Wuji found that there was no one else in the mansion, it didn't seem to be a military meeting or something, so the next moment Yan Wuji's slightly nervous heart relaxed, although he wanted to see the supreme commander in the Northwest Army, who was feared by everyone, but at that time, Yan Wuji and his father, his son saw his father, what was there to be nervous about.
Bypassing the hall and entering the backyard, I saw Yan Hu holding a white-flour steamed bun in his hand, a bowl of thin rice porridge in the other hand, and two plates of green vegetables on the stone table in front of him, which seemed to be eating breakfast.
Finding that someone came in, Yan Hu just looked back, it was still the face that was not angry and arrogant, but it was not as serious as before, at this time it was more like an old master at home, wearing a loose satin robe, which was just right to wear at this time.
"Coming?" didn't care about the unswallowed food in his mouth, Yan Hu hurriedly greeted him, for his only son, to say that he doesn't love it, it's all a lie, he is in the army on weekdays, and everything has his own rules, even if it is his own flesh and blood, it can't be violated, this is the basic requirement of Yan Hu's army and army.
But today, Yan Hu is rarely idle, so he asked people to call Yan Wuji to the house, and it is rare for the father and son to have such an opportunity to get along.
"Father!" Yan Wuji came to Yan Hu's side, and when he saw Yan Hu's outfit, he naturally knew Yan Hu's thoughts, so he didn't call out the handsome man who was born, but his dearest father.
Yan Hu put down the bowl in his hand, and then stuffed the remaining small half of the steamed bun into his mouth, with a rare smile on his face, and said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, come and sit down, I specially asked people to make more." ”
After speaking, he picked up the empty bowl that had been prepared on the table, personally served the bowl to Yan Wuji and handed it to him, although Yan Wuji had breakfast, but now he didn't want to refuse, because it was really rare for him and his father to have such an opportunity to sit together to eat and chat, even when he was a child, there were often only himself and his mother at the dinner table, and his father's position was often empty.
"Huh!" Some emotions seemed to be revealed involuntarily, so Yan Wuji's voice was a little choked.
Seeing that Yan Wuji's eyes were a little red, Yan Hu smiled, but this smile also looked a little sad and helpless, "Miss your mother?" ”
It's okay that Yan Hu didn't mention it, but at this mention, Yan Wuji, a tough guy who had been in the iron-blooded military camp for several years, couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, so he hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank the gruel in a big gulp, wanting to cover up the tears that flowed.
But how could such a small bowl be covered, and after drinking a bowl of gruel in one go, Yan Hu handed a white-flour steamed bun to Yan Wuji, who put down the bowl.
"Country, country, I have been in a hurry for the country all my life, but I owe too much to you, to your mother, and to this family." Yan Hu, who felt something, was inevitably a little sad, "Your mother is ...... Did you say anything when you went? ”
Yan Hu has asked this many times, but every time he still can't help but want to ask again, although he didn't see her last time and heard her last voice, but listen to what she said at the end, it was also good.
Yan Wuji shook his head, "No, my mother said that she wanted me to understand you, saying that it was not easy for you to protect your family and defend the country, and asked me not to complain about you." ”
"Then do you blame me?" Yan Hu rubbed his hands a little nervously, and looked at Yan Wuji with straight eyes, as if he was waiting for the outcome of a big battle, this answer was really important to him.
"I complained before, but now I don't."
"Whew...", he breathed a sigh of relief, he was already very satisfied with such an answer, "You have performed very well over the years, and I am very pleased with my father, but these are not enough, my father wants a commander who can carry the entire Northwest Army, so you have to continue to work hard." ”
"Yes, father, I will try!" Yan Wuji gave a firm answer.
"Hmm" Yan Hu nodded, and then used chopsticks to put some greens in Yan Wuji's bowl, and motioned him to eat more, "In two years, when you grow up, my father will hand over all the burdens on my shoulders to you, and then I will go back to Yanjing, repair a hut in the place where your mother rests, and accompany her like that, when your mother only married me before, she was very sticky to me, hahaha......"
As he spoke, Yan Hu laughed, and he smiled very happily, as if he thought of some good memories and was unwilling to stop.
Yan Wuji quietly looked at his father in front of him, and suddenly found that he was already an old man with a white beard, "This is the real father." Yan Wuji thought so, and he also knew that after a while, this old man would become the commander of the Northwest Army again, and there would be a military order issued to him.
