Chapter 8: When the Night Talks

Wu Linglan was a general who went out with the army when the first emperor was there, and of course he knew that such a situation was not suitable for sending troops.

"Your Majesty, this time the 100,000 army has traveled thousands of miles, from the capital to Rongcheng, it still needs a day or two of rest and recuperation, otherwise you will be too tired, even if you start a war, you won't know whether you will win or not." Wu Linglan persuaded Wei Yan in front of a group of generals at Wei Yan.

But Wei Yan was not affected by his proposal in the slightest, but continued to look at the map on the case: "Then what if the Qi army takes advantage of our rest to give us a surprise siege and sneak attack?" ”

"In the middle of the night today, General Chen led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the camp of the Qi army, I don't want you to kill many enemy troops, just disturb their military camp." Wei Yan handed out a military order to Chen Feng beside him.

Of course, Chen Feng took it respectfully with both hands, glanced at Wu Linglan's slightly gloomy face, and then looked at him and nodded slightly, and replied with full anger: "The minister is ordered!" ”

Then he bowed out of the big tent.

"Everyone will rest early tonight, and tomorrow we will go to call the little emperor of Ban Daqi." Wei Yan said after explaining the other precautions.

The generals cannot, and can only let the Wei banquet be arranged like this.

Wei Yan's stubborn temper probably followed his father, Wu Linglan thought so, sighed and returned to his camp, only hoping that the first emperor would have a spirit and bless Wei Yan's first royal expedition.

But how could Wei Yan, who led the troops out for the first time, sleep, tossing and turning on the bed in the camp tent and couldn't sleep, wanting to wait for the good news from Chen Feng's side.

Waiting and waiting that it was close to the night shift, Qin Huan of course couldn't see Wei Yan stay up late, and kept persuading Wei Yan: "Your Majesty, it's time to sleep, General Chen will definitely carry out your military orders with all his might, you just wait for the good news tomorrow morning." ”

"We'll know today." Wei Yan sat up again, leaning on the edge of the bed and reading the book by the candlelight like a bean.

Looking at Wei Yan, who didn't have the slightest intention of sleeping, he sighed softly, and could only add a piece of clothing to Wei Yan's shoulders, although it was in the south, it was more deeply exposed, and it was inevitable that he would catch a cold.

Wei Yan, who had never cared about these details, was suddenly attracted by the slender fingers that were left on his shoulders for a moment.

"Ah Huan." Wei Yan suddenly called Qin Huan's nickname, which was the name he would only call when he was still the little prince who didn't understand power.

Qin Huan's whole body was shocked by this name that had not appeared in his ears for a long time, and even the fingertips of the hand that he had withdrawn from his clothes were trembling.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly remember the minion's nickname......" Qin Huan has been in this deep palace step by step for more than ten years, and all the grievances and feelings are well hidden, but only when Wei Yan called out his nickname, there was a bit of a burst of embankment.

"When I was a child, I didn't often call you that," people always sighed more in the middle of the night, and this time, Wei Yan remembered when he was a little prince who was not favored, when the eldest brother was not dead, and he always liked to bully him with a group of servants - this concubine and shriveled younger brother, at that time, Qin Huan had just entered the palace, and was assigned to his side, and he also suffered a lot of punches and kicks, "Those injuries when I was a child, are they better now?" ”

Because Wei Yan is his master, Qin Huan has only one thought in his heart, and that is to protect him, so when Wei Yan was pressed to the ground and punched and kicked by the former and current prince, he also pounced on it, regardless of protecting the little Wei Yan. The wound on his body was left at that time, but even if it was scabbed, the scar still remained for a long time.

"Your Majesty Lao has bothered, it's already good." Qin Huan put his slightly trembling hand into his sleeve and replied respectfully to Wei Yan's words.

"Okay?" Wei Yan had no interest in the book in his hand at all, because he suddenly remembered the reason why he was so obsessed with power - with power, he would no longer have to be bullied by his eldest brother, and the little eunuch who was about the same size as him would not have to block his fists and feet for him all day long.

As long as there is power.

Wei Yan's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked up at Qin Huan again: "Since it's okay, let me take a look." ”

Where did Qin Huan think that Wei Yan suddenly came to pull the corner of his clothes, but as soon as he pulled it, he fell on Wei Yan's bed.

Qin Huan has also seen such a posture, but the concubines of which palace have always been in Wei Yan's arms, but he never thought that the person in Wei Yan's arms would one day become himself.

Wei Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, but picked up the sleeve of Qin Huan's side, Shang Chen's silk shirt was retreated to the elbow, and the arm from the wrist to the elbow was slightly miserable - covered with large and small looming scars.

"Isn't that still good...... This is a deception. Qin Huan listened to the voice in his ears gradually becoming lower, and the strength of the grip on his arm gradually increased.

He also clearly knew that the companion was like a tiger, so he broke free from the shackles of Wei Yan and turned around and knelt in front of Wei Yan.

"The emperor forgives his sins!"

Wei Yan looked at the person in front of him, his face was full of panic, but it overlapped with the shadow of Xiao Qin Huan, who was bullied but didn't say a word when he was a child.

"Since it's a crime of defrauding the king, let me think about it, how should I punish you......" Wei Yan rolled up the book he had just held in his hand, supporting his stubble chin, looking thoughtful.

"Minions...... It's all up to the emperor. Qin Huan knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Then punish you for giving me a warm quilt today."

When Qin Huan heard Wei Yan's voice say this seriously, he began to suspect that something was wrong with his ears, so he raised his head and looked at Wei Yan with a confused expression.

"Just like when I was a kid." Wei Yan stood up with Qin Huan in both hands.

"When I was a child, it wasn't like this, at that time, because my mother was not favored, even the charcoal that I was routinely sent in the winter was detained by those dog-legged minions, that is, I helped warm the quilt before sleeping."

At this time, Wei Yan suddenly did not look like the powerful emperor before, but the little prince who was trembling more than ten years ago.

"As for you, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me, the two of us can be regarded as a lifelong friendship. From now on, I will protect you, and I will never let you be beaten and kicked again. ”

That night, Wei Yan, who was sleeping heavily beside Qin Huan, didn't know that just his words ignited that little spark in the heart of his childhood companion.

And Fuyao, who was nested in a pile of clothes, opened a pair of green eyes in the darkness, quietly watching the two people in front of him.
