Chapter 222: Going to the Appointment
Xue Yan thought that he still had a grudge against the prince, so he persuaded: "You'an, the prince has missed you for so many years, and it is time for your father and son to reunite." β
Even if he doesn't want to be a prince and a prince, he should go back to visit his biological father, which is the duty of a child.
"But why did he take me as a son?"
"You'an, you're still angry, don't you know the intention of the prince to give you the book of heaven? He treats you like a treasure, so why should you cling to his years of neglect of you? He doesn't ignore you, but silently protects you in secret. If you don't believe it, you can ask Old Man Gu. β
Gu Youan was said to be thoughtful and silent.
"Okay, they're all married, and the children's tempers are still there. On the prince's side, he will arrange it, and he said that he will give you time to accept him slowly, he doesn't want to push you too much. I guess that the prince wants you to grow up in the tempering, the former king of Shuo is soft-hearted and has been framed many times, he doesn't want the son of the world to repeat the mistakes of the past, because some things are destined when you are born, and avoiding is not the solution to the problem. β
Gu Youan didn't want to continue the topic with him, so he took advantage of the war to change the topic: "Brother Xue, how long is this grain and grass enough for us?" In the two days since we retreated, the enemy army has not moved, could it be that they have seen through our plan? β
Xue Yan shook his head: "Perhaps, the enemy army is waiting for an opportunity to move, after all, we have only been withdrawn for a few days, and it takes patience to fight, and the same is true for the enemy army." But I think it should be soon. β
After saying goodbye to Xue Yan, Gu Youan returned to the tent, not knowing when the anger in Du Lan's heart would subside.
Just thinking about it, Chen Jingting brought a roast chicken and handed it to Gu Youan: "Here you go, don't say that the brother is not righteous." β
Gu Youan raised his eyes, and when he heard this, it seemed that his mother didn't let Chen Jingting send it, and Chen Jingting insisted on sending it.
Anyway, this is all baked by his wife, if Du Lan really doesn't want to give it, Chen Jingting can't send it, as Brother Xue said, his wife doesn't have him in her heart.
A little sweetness passed through my heart.
In the next few days, Duran and Gu Youan looked respectful of each other on the surface, but Gu Youan felt that there was always a kind of gap between them, making their relationship not as pleasant as before.
One night when a northerly wind blew and the camp was brightly lit, the enemy was bewildered by the illusion and threw fireballs again, and when the camp was in disarray, the army attacked.
The emperor ordered General Chen to lead the army back, but Xuanyuan Zhe was left to garrison the city.
The soldiers didn't understand why the emperor did this, but General Chen and Xue Yan tacitly understood it.
Xuanyuan Zhe knew that Du Ming was the second brother Xuanyuan Min who betrayed him and reported his connection with the Taishou of Yucheng to the emperor.
However, he will not admit defeat just like this, he has already ordered Lei Li to secretly monitor Xuanyuan Min's every move, once he finds evidence, it will be the time for him to fight back.
Sheng Jing will return sooner or later, although it will be a little later, he will never bear the burden of betraying the country, the infamy of the thief discredits the Qingwang Mansion, and he is not willing to let the throne that has been planned for a long time fall into the hands of the second brother.
Arrived at the same time as the holy decree, there was also a letter from Prince Shuo to Gu You'an, Du Lan didn't want to disturb Gu You'an's purity, so he came out to find Chen Jingting to relieve his boredom.
At this time, Xuanyuan Zhe's subordinates rushed over and bowed to Du Lan: "Du Gongzi, General Zhe invites you to go." β
Chen Jingting was not worried that Du Lan would go to see Xuanyuan Zhe alone, so he accompanied Du Lan to go together.
It's just that Chen Jingting was stopped by soldiers outside the tent, and Du Lan signaled Chen Jingting to feel at ease with his eyes, and then entered the tent alone.
Xuanyuan Zhe was leisurely drinking tea, Du Lan came in, he didn't raise his eyelids, "General Ben thought you were scared and didn't dare to go to the appointment." β
"Seriously, I really don't want to go to the appointment, but you're too much to protect yourself, what am I afraid of. Don't forget, you've been poisoned by the poison I shose. Duran's back was straight, and there was no fear on his face.
"Hehe, it's really naΓ―ve, is it just that fried wheat noodles? General Ben is used to the days of adding blood to the knife edge, do you think Ben will fall for you? Xuanyuan Zhe stood up, gracefully took off his heavy armor, and hung it on a wooden drying rack beside him.
Duran was shocked, it turned out that he had already knew, she moved a few steps back without a trace, why did he take off his armor at this moment?
The corner of Xuanyuan Zhe's eyes glanced at her subtle movements, and laughed, "Hehe, you still say that you are not afraid, it is really hard-mouthed." β
Duran glared at him in surprise: "I'm not familiar with you, it's normal to be careful." β
Xuanyuan Zhe walked towards her step by step, Du Lan wanted to hide back, but if he hid again, he would get out of the tent, and besides, Xuanyuan Zhe really dared to act rashly against her, she was not a vegetarian, and her hand slowly stretched out into her arms......
Just when Du Lan was on guard, Xuanyuan Zhe's hand suddenly stretched out to his waist, and Du Lan's silver teeth were bitten, he was really a prodigal son.
Before she could take out the little bow and arrow, there was a hard, helpful thing in her other hand, and when she looked down, she saw that there was a wooden sign stuffed in her hand, which was carved with cumbersome patterns, and she turned around in surprise.
"It's ......"
"This is my farewell gift, you take it."
Duran looked at the words on the wooden sign suspiciously, Zhe, his name is Xuanyuan Zhe, "Why did you give me this piece of wood?" Do you want me to go back and burn it as firewood? β
Xuanyuan Zhe's face turned pale: "You dare!" β
"Then you quickly take it back, since it's not firewood, it must be a very valuable thing, I don't know you well, and I can't accept your farewell gift."
"Is this the son of this life so annoying to you? One sentence is not familiar with two sentences, one is born and two times is ripe, this son thinks that we are old acquaintances. After speaking, Xuanyuan Zhe smiled playfully.
With a sigh in his heart, Duran secretly hid backwards, this guy is too far-fetched to have a relationship with himself, right? He's not going to like himself.
It's a bad premonition.
"Whether it's ripe or not, I won't accept this wooden card." With that, Duran handed over the wooden sign.
"Are you in such a hurry to clear up with me?"
"General Zhe thinks too much, I have nothing to do with you at all, so what does it matter. You and I just met in Pingshui, if you really want to pull out such a little relationship, then I will tell you, according to our folk algorithm, you should call me a brother-in-law. β
Xuanyuan Zhe's face couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this, but soon he smiled with relief.
"So, we're relatives? In this case, this wooden card is given to you by your cousin, and you don't have to refuse. β
"You are the eldest prince of the palace, why are you so thick-skinned, you have said that I am your brother-in-law, you are my brother-in-law, what are you doing giving me things for no reason, if you really want to have a good relationship with the two of us, you go to Gu Youan. I don't want to meddle in your family's internal conflicts. Duran was in a hurry.
Xuanyuan Zhe's eyebrows frowned, and he said thoughtfully: "You're right, I really should give him a big gift, I've already thought about it." β
"What are you going to do to him?" Duran's eyes widened suddenly.
"So I'm so vile and filthy in your heart? Fool, if I really did attack him, would I have told you in advance? As for this wooden plaque, it is really worthless to me, but to you, it is your dream. β
Well? Duran was a little confused, what he dreamed of, how could he know. I want to carry forward my culinary skills and make some achievements in the culinary industry, that's all, is it possible that his wooden brand is related to cooking?
Wouldn't it be like Gu Youan's Tang Sect, a gang about cooking? And this wooden card is the token of the gang?
"Don't think about it, there is no reason to take back the gifts given by this son, if you insist on returning them, you will not give me face."
"You, you are so unreasonable, I don't bother to pay attention to you." Duran was angry, threw the wooden sign to the ground, and turned around to leave.
Where is this prince, this is simply a scoundrel.
However, as soon as her hand lifted the curtain of the tent door, her feet suddenly emptied, and her body rose into the air, she screamed, and when she looked closely, it turned out that she was forcibly picked up by Xuanyuan Zhe.
"Xuanyuan Zhe, I'm your brother-in-law, aren't you afraid that the matter will be criticized when it reaches Shengjing?"
Xuanyuan Zhe landed steadily, but still didn't mean to let go, "I don't plan to do anything, could it be that you are self-inflicted, thinking that this son of the world is wrong, and I will give you a courtesy?" β
"Hmph, your current behavior is no different from etiquette." Duran scolded.
The sound of a fight soon sounded outside the account, and Du Lan knew that it was Chen Jingting who heard his screams and started to fight with Xuanyuan Zhe's people.
