"Old acquaintances?" Hu Po was very puzzled.

Ye Lan had no choice, and said, "It's a relative of Tuan Tuan's father." ”

"What a relative, I'm a serious family member, a direct blood relative!" When Zuo Tianyu, who was well-fed and drunk, heard this, he stood up and retorted, and he didn't see the two children lying in the arms of the second elder, white and cute, each staring at him with their fingers and big eyes, and immediately seemed to have their whole hearts melted.

He rushed over in three or two steps, stretched out his hand to hug Tuantuan, but he didn't want Shanzi to reach out to stop him, he subconsciously dodged, but still didn't get rid of the arm wrapped in black cotton.

He is the pride of the sky, and the most important thing is arrogance, and when he has the heart to win, he has to compete with Shanzi.

Ye Lan hurriedly stopped and said angrily: "Stop!" Why is there a fight again? ”

Zuo Tianyu and Shanzi were also obedient, glaring at each other and turning their faces away.

Ye Lan thought about it, took the tuantuan and stuffed it to Zuo Tianyu, and then stuffed the round round to Shanzi, two big men holding a small meat ball, the picture is particularly joyful.

Tuan Tuan Reunion Xu felt that these two arms were uncomfortable, twisted their little buttocks, and one of them came to a soak of urine.

Zuo Tianyu originally wanted to steal his cousin, but he immediately stiffened and shouted loudly for Ye Lan to help.

Ye Lan ignored him, pulled the old couple to eat in the stove, but Shanzi walked to the wing room very calmly and took clean pants for Yuanyuan to change.

Zuo Tianyu hurriedly followed suit, and for a while, it was difficult for the two to get along harmoniously.

Ye Lan peeked outside while eating, and finally remembered Cuihua, who had reported the news, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Cuihua, why don't you come back to eat?" ”

Hu Po responded: "Well, that girl accidentally twisted her foot and fell into the river." ”

Ye Lan was shocked, "She didn't choke, why was she so careless?" ”

Hu Po waved her hand and smiled mysteriously and strangely, "Don't worry, there is a mountain here, how can she be drowned, maybe in some time, our family will have a happy event." ”

Ye Lan understood and praised sincerely: "That's really good." ”

The two elders glanced at each other, looked a little cautious and asked again: "Miss, we want to accept Shanzi as a righteous son, what do you say?" ”

"Of course!" How could Ye Lan not know that the two of them had this intention for a long time, and they were afraid that she would be too careful, so they hurriedly responded, "As long as my uncle and aunt don't dislike us, the three of us are superfluous." ”

"Why did the eldest lady say that, no one will lose your place if the Hu family is gone......" Hu Po was anxious.

Ye Lan hurriedly hugged her arm and coquettishly, "Okay, I can remember my aunt's words, if you hurt your daughter-in-law more at that time, I won't follow it." ”

Sure enough, Hu Po's face was much better, and she smiled: "Okay, you are your niece, and your daughter-in-law is an outsider." ”

Hu Bo also laughed, and the family of three continued to talk and laugh and eat.

I don't know if it's the nature of the blood or what, Zuo Tianyu loves the two children to the bone, this afternoon, there is almost no time in his arms, that is, he has to sleep with one at night, but he was driven to the backyard wing of the shop by Ye Lan.

As for the guards, Ye Lan was very small-minded, and those who held grudges did not arrange accommodation, and they did not dare to stay too far from the master, so they had to deal with it for one night in front of the shop.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Lan picked up a bag of baked cakes and went on the road with Zuo Tianyu.

Zuo Tianyu was also happy, kissed the two children and left, but he didn't go far and sent half of the guards to secretly return to guard the shop, for fear that Ye Lan would escape again.

He didn't know that Ye Lan didn't mean this at all, she barely closed her eyes when she held the two children this night, and thought a lot, in the end, she decided to look at the two children's points and wanted to talk to Zuo Yuanhao, at least she wanted to know why he didn't say goodbye that day, so that in the future, she would explain to the two children why their father was not around, and she didn't have to find some clumsy lies about traveling far or dying.

Sometimes, beautiful lies are far more hurtful than the cruel reality, and she would rather her children be sad when they know the truth than live in false expectations.

Besides, Zuo Tianyuxing hurriedly returned to the palace, remembering his father's concern for the Sixth Emperor Uncle, and also having to explain the reason for the late return, he told Ye Lan's mother and son that they were not dead.

didn't want the emperor to open his mouth but asked him to keep this secret for the time being, and his heart immediately seemed to have fallen into an ice cave for nine cold days, and it was completely cold.

is the most ruthless imperial family, and the elder brother who cares about his younger brother can only be when he does not involve interests, once it is related to national affairs, even the life of his own brother is nothing.

Zuo Tianyu withdrew from the imperial study, returned to the East Palace and sat until the evening, and finally called the most trusted guard to give advice.

The most beautiful day in the world is only the April day, Tibetan Woncheng and Jiangnan are already red and willow green, but the wind in the north is still cold.

The Northern Expedition army drove in, the momentum was like a bamboo, not only recaptured the two occupied border fortresses, but even killed them, robbed the eighteen cities of Shaluo and a large grassland, slaughtered more than 100 tribes, so that the subjects of the two countries were terrified, and the two monarchs were even more frightened, seeing that the Jinghai army was about to attack their respective capitals, they all started to negotiate peace.

There is a way to be a master of high merit, everyone knows that the royal family is ruthless, and all the confidants and generals have privately said that they want to be handsome until now, so as to save the emperor from suspicion.

But Zuo Yuanhao refused to accept it at all, insisting on completely destroying the two countries, and everyone couldn't help but guess the reason, but there was no way.

On this day, Zuo Yuanhao tore an old wound when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was bedridden, and a group of generals gathered together to discuss whether to take advantage of the marshal's illness and go to the capital to ask the emperor for instructions, and as long as the emperor gave an order, the marshal could not disobey it, right?

But if you do this, you will inevitably be suspected of trespassing and betrayal, so everyone is a little hesitant.

At such a time, a soldier from the camp gate came to report that someone from the capital had come to give food to the commander. Everyone looked at each other, and they were all happy.

A general specially summoned someone from the capital to inquire carefully, but unfortunately in the end he couldn't grasp the holy will, so he had to lead the person to the handsome tent, thinking of taking the opportunity to comfort the marshal.

Not long after the people entered the big tent, there was a crisp breaking sound, and everyone rushed in without knowing why.

I saw that Zuo Yuanhao's face was red, his hair was messy, and his clothes were half-open, and it was rare to lose the killing aura on his body, and he had regained a bit of the appearance of a noble son, but his hands that harvested the countless heads of the enemy were carefully holding a golden cake at this time.

A general wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and a faint musty smell came over, and he became more and more suspicious, not understanding why the marshal would be so distracted for a moldy cake?

Zuo Yuanhao trembled his hands and moved the baked cake to his eyes, and the ecstasy in his heart almost blew him up!

The only people in the world who can make this baked cake are only a few people in the Hu family, and there is no one else, and now the prince has sent such a baked cake over, does it mean that there are still people in the Hu family alive, or ...... Lan'er's mother and son are still alive!

Once this realization appeared in his mind, he couldn't wait to grow wings and fly back to Zangkun City immediately, what war, what revenge no longer mattered, his wife and children were still alive, what could be more exciting in this world than this news?

finally calmed down, and when he looked up and saw many soldiers, he subconsciously turned cold again. If he could say it clearly, the prince would not have just sent a baked cake, and he could guess some of the key points, but the fewer people who knew about it, the better......

"Ahem, I'm afraid this king is really sick, and at first glance, he lost his mind when he saw the dim sum he usually eats." He rarely explained a few words, and then waved his hand and instructed the generals, "Report the war to the emperor on my behalf, ask for instructions on whether to negotiate peace, and whether the army can return to the court?" ”

"Huh?" When everyone suddenly heard this, they were a little hard to believe, but they were extremely happy when they reacted, and they responded one after another: "Yes, Dashuai." Although the handsome man will take care of his body, the rest of the trivial matters will be taken care of at the end. ”

Zuo Yuanhao nodded, motioned for them to retreat, and lay down again, with the baked cake in his hand also sticking to his chest.

If Heaven blesses him, he would rather give up his glory and wealth in exchange for his wife and children to live in peace on earth......

On May 16, 178 years of Jinghai, Prince Zhongyong adhered to the emperor's will and accepted the peace between Shaluo and Ximan, and obtained a total of 20 cities and 3,000 miles of rivers and grasslands. Since then, the two countries have paid tribute year after year, and Jinghai has greatly boosted its national prestige for a while.

On the day when the army returned to the court, all the towns along the way were almost empty, and all the people gathered on both sides of the official road to welcome the heroes of Jinghai and the athletes who defended the country.

It's a pity that they want to see Prince Zhongyong has been sitting in the carriage, not showing half of the corners of his clothes, some people speculate whether Prince Zhongyong is seriously injured, so the temples around the incense are flourishing, and countless people send silver money to ask the monks to recite the scriptures to bless the prince with a speedy recovery.

In fact, the people did not know that the ornate carriage was completely empty.

In May, the Tibetan Kuncheng city has the heat of midsummer, and the beauty-loving Tomoko puts on a thin gauze skirt early, walks on the street, and occasionally blows the skirt corners by the wind, which provokes countless men to reverie infinitely.

However, there was a team of cavalry, incomprehensibly running by, startling the beautiful girl, and the pretending perverts also dodged and scolded, inadvertently revealing their true nature and ruining their image as a gentleman.

The cavalry ran all the way into Qinglong Street, and Yu Linwei had already stepped forward to stop him, but the person who wore a hat and covered his head and face tightly was reaching out and holding up a golden waist card, Yu Linwei saw it, and quickly got out of the way.

The man went all the way forward and entered the palace smoothly, Yu Linwei looked at it a few more times in confusion, and always felt that the back of the person holding the golden dragon token was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he didn't bother anymore.

The emperor and the crown prince were surprised when they suddenly received a report from the eunuch that someone was asking to see him with a golden dragon order. There are only three pieces of this golden dragon order in the whole country, one is naturally kept by the emperor, in case there is an emergency when the white dragon fish suit, and the remaining two pieces are given to the prince and the six emperor brothers, the prince is now in the palace and has not gone far, so the person who holds the token is very likely to be sent by Zuo Yuanhao.

After thinking about it, the emperor asked Hong Tao to personally take people into the imperial study, and when the prince arrived, the father and son walked in together.

As a result, when the man reached out and took off the hat, he revealed an extremely familiar face, although it was darker, more scably, and the color of the wind and dust was heavier, but it was the living Zuo Yuanhao.

Zuo Tianyu was shocked, for fear that his father would rule the Six Emperor Uncles for a major crime of resisting the decree, so he preemptively asked: "Sixth Emperor Uncle, isn't there still five hundred miles for the army to reach the outside of the city?" Why did you come back first? But the old wound recurred, and I will let someone call the doctor! ”

Zuo Yuanhao guessed his thoughts, and a touch of warmth rose on his extremely tired face, but he shook his head resolutely, and then knelt down on his knees and said to the emperor who couldn't see his joy and anger: "Brother Huang, my brother left the army without permission this time and came back early, there is really a big matter to be solved in front of the imperial brother, and I hope that the imperial brother will issue an order to invite Prime Minister Ye Cheng, his wife Chen, and the princess Ye Lian of this king to come here." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and faintly felt that Zuo Yuanhao had a bit of a gritted tooth when he mentioned the word "princess", he nodded quietly with the prince, and Zuo Tianyu, who was also confused, went out of the palace to invite someone in person, and then he personally helped his younger brother up and asked the reason.

Zuo Yuanhao didn't mention a word, but only picked the terms of the peace agreement with the two countries, and sure enough, the emperor was very happy to hear it. The emperors of the Zuo family have been able to guard the territory well, but they didn't think that his generation would actually expand the territory, and after he was in the sky, he would add a holy word before he could not be named, and the history would be circulated.

The two didn't notice the passage of time as they spoke, and soon, Prime Minister Ye Cheng rushed over first. The old man was also a little surprised to see his son-in-law leave the army and come back early, but he was smart enough to only talk about the war and not mention half a word, but as the prince brought Chen and Ye Lian's mother and daughter in, he couldn't sit still, and didn't understand what this meant, although he didn't like his stepwife, and his second daughter was also indifferent, but they were a family after all, and as a man, they always had to support one or two.

Thinking like this, he got up and saluted and asked, "I don't know what the emperor ordered when he announced that the wife and daughter of the old minister were coming?" ”

The emperor turned to Zuo Yuanhao with a smile, and also asked: "Sixth brother, everyone is invited, what do you have to say." ”

Zuo Yuanhao got up and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, the younger brother is guilty, so he asked to relinquish his military power, and from then on, he cheated to death and returned to the people." ”

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, and the clever Hong Tao hurriedly withdrew from the palace gate, and ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting to avoid a hundred steps.

The emperor was not happy in his heart, although he was also worried about how to deal with this brother who was a high-ranking master, and pondered that it was the best way for him to ask to dismiss his military power, but after all, this matter was a little unkind, and he refused to damage the image of Mingjun.

He asked angrily, "Why did the sixth brother say this?" Am I a narrow-minded person who can't tolerate your achievements? ”

Ye Lian has been busy copying scriptures these days, and she is so tired that she has only one breath left, and today she is wearing a water blue gauze skirt, and her pale face is even more pitiful. More than anyone else, she looks forward to the prince's victory and return to the court, so that she can avoid the hard work of copying scriptures and return to the high position of the stars holding the moon.

It's a pity, not waiting for her to flirt with the prince, the prince actually said that he wanted to resign and return to seclusion for the people, she suddenly felt a thunderbolt in the sky, and she was so anxious that her forehead sweated. ”

Prime Minister Ye glared at his daughter fiercely, secretly anxious in his heart, he used to think that this daughter was smart, but today he realized that he was so stupid that he couldn't be helped, these words were obviously to comfort the prince, but when they fell on the emperor's ears, they added fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, the emperor's face was even worse, and he was faintly annoyed.
