Chapter 40: Parting

Joan cried with a sad face, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and in the end, she actually cried out.

Gu Yuan looked helpless, so he had to comfort him.

"This is the princess's mansion, don't cry, little boy, go back to Uncle Gu to tell you the story of Houyi."

"Where did Boss Ji go?" JoAnn whimpered.

Gu Yuan squatted down and touched Qiao An's hair, and said, "He went home, just like you, back to his own home." ”

"Oh-" Joan choked.

"Will the Boss come back that season?" Jo Ann asked earnestly with wide eyes.

Gu Yuan was stunned, this, he really didn't know.

In the past three years, Ji Ling and Qiao An have seen him day and night, saying that he has no feelings for Ji Ling, which must be fake, but he will not show sadness on his face like Qiao An.

At the end of the day, Joan was just a child.

Ji Ling is older than Qiao An, Qiao An also likes him very much, and the feelings between children have always been the purest, but as a rough man, he really doesn't know how to comfort this disappointed child.

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Qiao An's eyes, and said, "I don't know if he will come back or not, but, little boy, you are a person who wants to be a general, it is too unseemly to cry like this." ”

Since you can't make him happy, let him be distracted.

Sure enough, when Qiao An heard this, she immediately stopped crying and looked at Gu Yuan with a determined expression.

"Yes, I'm going to be a general, I can't cry like this."

Gu Yuan stood up with a smile at this time, he finally subdued this kid, when Ji Ling was here before, he listened to Ji Ling for everything, and he didn't know what this kid was thinking in his heart.

But it's okay if Ji Ling is gone, in the past three years, Gu Yuan has actually been quite embarrassed, after all, Ji Ling is not from Yan Kingdom.

You can't teach him too many things, in case you do something sorry for Yan Guo in the future, you can't ignore it, after all, there is an order from King Yan above.

Now that Ji Ling is gone, Gu Yuan feels that a burden has been relieved in an instant.

As for Qiao An, after a long time, he will completely forget Ji Ling, just a childhood playmate.

"So, don't cry anymore, maybe he'll come back to see you later."

"Well, I don't cry anymore."

Seeing that the two of them had finally calmed down, Li Suo Luo said reluctantly: "It's finally quiet." ”

Gu Yuan was helpless.

The little princess has a deep personality, even if Joan cries, she will not be moved in the slightest.

Gu Yuan always felt that this should not be the state that an eight-year-old girl should have, but he had no right to question.

Think of it as a little princess.

"Little princess, if Qiao An quarrels with you, then the minister will take him back to the General's Mansion." Gu Yuan said respectfully.

Li Suoluo looked indifferent, took a cloak handed over by the maid, and then turned around and walked towards the house.

"General Gu hurry up and leave with Qiao An, as for the marriage, don't thank me." Li Suoluo's immature voice came from the air.

Gu Yuan: "......"

Well, the little princess who should be said said said for him, so what else did he say?

"Joan, let's go back, don't disturb the little princess."

"Okay."

Li Suluo sat in front of the window, watching from a distance as the two figures, one big and one small, left.

After the two of them walked away, Li Suo Luo looked at the personal maid Furong next to him and said, "Furong, go and help me prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

Fleur was stunned for a moment, reacted in an instant, and immediately went to prepare.

Furong came to the princess's mansion three years ago, ten years older than Li Suoluo, and she was still a girl.

But after a while, Fleur came back with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Spread out the paper and grind the inkstone."

"Yes."

According to Li Suoluo's request, Furong carefully spread the paper on the table, then took out the pen and put it in front of Li Suoluo, and carefully sharpened the inkstone.

"Princess, why do you suddenly want pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" Fleur asked curiously while grinding the inkstone, in the past, in fact, this little princess didn't use these things much.

Li Suo Luo didn't answer her, just waited quietly for her to polish the ink.

Fleur also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and that she should not ask what she shouldn't ask, so she obediently closed her mouth.

In the past three years of serving the little princess, she has gradually become accustomed to the little princess's eccentric temper and unusual intelligence.

But as a subordinate, why should she ask too much.

Seeing that the ink was almost grinded, Li Suo Luo picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

"You go out first." Li Suluo looked at the white paper and said to Fleur.

"Yes." Fleur was blessed, and retreated to the door with broken steps, and closed the door by the way.

Li Suluo dipped in ink, and wrote and drew on the white paper, she needed to analyze the current situation, although her father was unwilling to tell her some things, he hoped that she would not worry about them, but she couldn't do it at all.

Wooing the Lin family and using the wealth of the Lin family to help the Yan Kingdom, and at the same time as a springboard to contact wealthy merchants, this is what Li Suluo suggested to his father.

But she only suggested that even if her father could change his traditional thinking, it was unlikely that he would act against the courtiers' wishes, that is, there should be something else that drove him to agree to her proposal.

Not long ago, Li Suo Luo heard a rumor that Yan Guo was going to war again?

This rumor has come out of nowhere, and if it is false, then the person who spread the rumor must have some specific purpose.

And this person is very likely to be directly aimed at his father, or even the entire Yan Kingdom.

Yan Kingdom was originally a small country and widows, and none of the people living here liked to fight.

But if this rumor is true, it is even more terrifying.

Li Suo Luo casually drew maps of several major countries on white paper, such as Yanguo, Yasukuni, and Chenguo.

Yasukuni and Chenguo are the two countries closest to Yan, and if there is a source for this rumor, the greatest possibility is that it comes from these two countries.

Recalling his previous life, after his father died of illness, he went to Chen Kingdom as a princess, and thus obtained the protection of Chen Kingdom to Yan Kingdom.

But in this life, the trajectory has changed, and even, will some things come in advance?

If according to the trajectory of the previous life, this year's emperor is only twenty and three, and he should be in the stage of consolidating his position within the Chen Kingdom, and he should not have the energy to take care of the affairs of the Yan Kingdom.

In addition to Chenguo, there is also Yasukuni.

Yasukuni's strength is not as strong as that of Tatsu and Aki, but among the seven kingdoms of Kyushu, it is also second only to Tatsu and Akira in terms of military strength alongside Kyukoku.

For generations, although there have been occasional border conflicts between Yasukuni and Yan, they have only been on a small scale and are not cause for concern.

The reason why Yasukuni did not dare to attack Yan on a large scale was not that he had no ambitions, but that the terrain of Yan did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Although Yan is a small country with few people, militarily, it has never hesitated to train generals, and these are things that Yasukuni has feared in all dynasties.
