Xiao Yao is only worried about Gu Fanghua now, and the horse she will choose in the future doesn't know if she can protect her.

"Thirteen, didn't you say last time that the Mei family has a son who is the same age as Mingzhu? In fact, it is not bad to marry Jiangnan, it is better than staying in the capital. ”

Ye Shisan couldn't say anything in his heart, in fact, Xiao Yao and Princess Mingzhu were a match made in heaven. Now, it's like this.

"Anyway, you still have two years to show filial piety, so you are not in a hurry. Are you relieved to hand over Princess Pearl to someone else? Ordinary people can't protect her. ”

"It's useless to talk more, let's solve the battle at Yumen Pass first, if you have any news here, tell me together."

Needless to say, Ye Shisan came here to deliver news.

Ye Shisan thought of the situation at Yumen Pass, and could only sigh: "Yang Xing was humiliated before he was captured, Yang Ting personally shot him, and then vomited blood and became seriously ill, saying that no one was gone." ”

"So serious? So who is in charge of Yumen Pass now? Yang Yong? ”

Xiao Yao was shocked, the Liao people attacked fiercely, the boss of the Great Zhou was injured, and Yang Yong was weak, so can the Yumen Pass be held?

Ye Shisan nodded and said: "Now it is Yang Yong who is in charge, but there are many generals in the Yang family, and there is no problem in defending the city for the time being." After all, not everyone is a madman like Hershermin. ”

Xiao Yao also remembered those days in Shanhaiguan, although he didn't know life and death at that time, but it was the time when he and Mingzhu were closest to each other.

Later, when I returned to the capital, there were too many changes, some sweet, some bitter, and more helpless.

Xiao Yao stopped talking, picked up the wine cup and filled it, and then gently poured it on the ground, offering sacrifices to the heroic souls who died in the Shanhaiguan battle.

Ye Shisan didn't want to stay for a long time, but he didn't expect that not long after he left, Xiao Mansion welcomed guests again.

Lu Fei came in and reported: "Master, the king of Chu asks to see you." ”

After Xiao Yao was surprised, he groaned a little and ordered him to come in. He greeted the hanging flower door and arched his hand: "I didn't expect the King of Chu to come, and I missed the welcome." ”

"General Xiao doesn't blame this king for coming uninvited, it's just that the old man is about to go on an expedition, and this king wants to come and ask for a glass of wine."

Yan Shaoxun walked in quickly, his expression was radiant, and he couldn't see it at all, and he was overwhelmed by Yan Rongling in the court.

Xiao Yao smiled: "Come, please!" It's just that I will go out tomorrow morning, I don't dare to drink more, and I ask for forgiveness. ”

"Xiao Yao, between us, we have lived and died together, do we need to be so unfamiliar? In the past, each was his own master, but now that the prince is estranged from you, why should you worry? ”

Yan Shaoxun knew very well the reason why Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao were becoming more and more estranged, and naturally hoped that they would become enemies.

Xiao Yao said with a smile: "The King of Chu said that he was joking, I am loyal to the Great Zhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king, I am a minister, why am I estranged?" Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I am grateful to remember the friendship at the beginning, and I don't feel unfamiliar. ”

"Say whatever you want, right? I have come here to wish you a successful start. ”

"Thank you!"

The two drank a glass of wine, and Xiao Yao turned the wine cup upside down to show that he couldn't drink anymore.

Yan Shaoxun also knew the severity and did not force it. only knocked on the side and said: "Mingzhu has been gone for so long, have you ever written back?" ”

Xiao Yao didn't hide it, and said generously: "I wrote a letter to the past, but I didn't receive a reply from the princess." ”

"Pearl hasn't forgiven you yet? But in order to avenge her, you lost even the title, and she was not grateful? ”

Xiao Yaoyun said lightly: "This is our fault, we can't apologize, we must be forgiven." ”

Yan Shaoxun had to smile and said, "Then have you ever thought about what will happen to Mingzhu in the future?" We have all married and have no chance, rather than marry someone else in the future, it is better to marry you. In this way, it gives me more peace of mind. ”

"Later, I'll talk about it later. Now that there is a war at the border, it is still the most important thing, and as for other things, it depends on whether God gives fate or not. ”

Xiao Yao really didn't dare to think about it, even if he wanted to be good to Mingzhu and give Mingzhu a sheltered home, he had to be willing to do it.

What's more, the current self does not have the ability to protect the pearl.

Yan Shaoxun arched his hand and said: "I really envy Xiao Yao, you can carry a Wu hook and go to the battlefield." It's a pity that I have the heart to serve the country, but I have no way to serve the country. ”

"The king of Chu laughed, the country has its own civil and military governance, who doesn't know that the king of Chu has done a good job in the criminal department. Many people say that the King of Chu is like a god in solving cases, and he has solved many strange cases, and he is the master of Qingtian. ”

Xiao Yao also admired Yan Shaoxun very much, and he relied on his position in the Criminal Department to overturn unjust, false and wrongful cases, and also won the support of some people in the imperial court.

Moreover, it is very prestigious among the people.

Yan Shaoxun drank a cup alone and said in a low voice: "You have to tell Mingzhu to be careful of Yan Rongling." ”

Xiao Yao's heart tightened, but his expression was still calm, and he said with a smile: "King Chu doesn't have to joke, the princess and the prince have a deep relationship since they were little brothers and sisters, how can they need to be guarded." ”

"Xiao Yao, clear-eyed people don't talk nonsense, Yan Rongling has never given up on Mingzhu. Don't look at the group of wives and concubines in his backyard, what he thinks about most is Mingzhu. ”

"King Chu is cautious!"

Yan Shaoxun stretched his waist and said lazily: "Xiao Yao, you don't have to deceive yourself like this, there are no outsiders here." ”

Xiao Yao's face sank, and he said unhappily: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, even if it is a joke, it is about the reputation of Princess Mingzhu and the benevolence and righteousness of His Royal Highness the Prince." It's better not to say it. ”

"Benevolence? These three emperors and five emperors, Qin Emperor and Han Wu, which one is the lord of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness? Heroes create the current situation, the current situation also creates heroes, and the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, this is the eternal truth! ”

Yan Shaoxun simply singled out directly: "Only if you have enough power can you protect Mingzhu, and the marshal of Shanhaiguan is a good name." ”

Xiao Yao's heart moved slightly, but his expression was not revealed, and he saw Yan Shaoxun pushing his heart and opening his mouth.

"Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows, why bother to make a senseless struggle? It's better to be an idle prince, which is also a blessing. ”

Yan Shaoxun smiled heroically, grabbed the wine jug and took a big sip to his mouth.

Only then did he wipe the corners of his mouth and said: "Being born in the royal family is the original sin, and it is not that you can be safe if you fight or not." Even if Yan Rong Ling can accommodate an idle prince, I don't want to be a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy! The life of the eldest husband will be vigorous, and if it cannot be passed down through the ages, it will be stinking for thousands of years. ”

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "It's not a blessing to be plain, the King of Chu is paranoid." ”

"No, if you become a king or lose, you are willing to gamble and lose! I am fortunate to be able to play a game of chess with the world, even if I am crushed, I don't want to surrender without a fight! ”

Yan Shaoxun, who was so impassioned, made Xiao Yao look at him differently.

Thinking of his performance in Shanhaiguan at the beginning, he was also an iron-clad man. sighed: "Being able to fight side by side with the King of Chu, Xiao Yao will never dare to forget." ”

Yan Rongling also sighed: "Me too, this time I begged my father to be your pioneer, but unfortunately my father refused." ”
