Chapter 218: It's a pity it's late
"Hmph, you think of me now."
General Yan snorted coldly, put down the teacup in his hand heavily, his grandson has always been not close to him, and he can do it with his mother, which is nothing more than blaming him for forcing his mother into the palace back then.
It's just a fool who can't figure it out, if his mother didn't enter the palace at that time, where did he come from, where did he have the status of the prince now?
Now that the old emperor is crazy and has released his sons to be the vassal king, the former unfavored Nine Emperor Sons have become the king of one party, and he can't find his position after being complimented a few words, I really think that in a place like Lanzhou, how useful can his title of vassal king be, he is even unwilling to marry his cousin!
Seeing that his grandfather didn't accept it, Yan Shizhang took the letter from Commander Fang and opened it, the content of the letter was not long, it was indeed his cousin's handwriting, but the content was ......
"Grandfather, do you want to take a look first?"
Old General Yan glared at Yan Shizhang, but he still didn't answer the letter, but the anger on his face subsided a little.
"Ahem, my cousin wants to borrow 30,000 soldiers and horses from you, and he ......"
As soon as Yan Shibrown's words came out, he was interrupted by General Yan, who threw the teacup at the Fang commander who was waiting below, and said angrily: "Don't borrow it!" ”
Commander Fang grew up in Yanfu, and he also followed General Yan for several years, knowing his temper, his own prince refused to marry Yan Qingshu again and again, and the three young masters and young ladies of the Yan family stayed in Lanzhou for so long and couldn't make the prince change his words, he would definitely offend General Yan, and now he came to borrow troops, which was naturally difficult to add.
But he thought that the prince and the Yan family should be tied together, the prince was soft in the letter, and promised a lot of benefits to the Yan family, although he still did not plan to marry Yan Qingshu as the princess, but the Yan family was originally a foreign family, in fact, there was no need to add marriage to maintain, but he didn't expect that General Yan didn't even want to read the letter, and when he heard the borrowed troops, he directly refused, which was really unexpected for him.
After throwing the teacup, General Yan looked at Commander Fang who was standing silently at the bottom, "Fang Lei, right, I brought you back from the street, let you get out of your beggar status, let you grow up in my mansion, and later sent you to Xuanlin to be the chief of the guard, you have to understand how this status came from now, don't forget Ben." ”
Commander Fang knew that there would be this, and he immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "The general is as kind to me as a mountain, even if my Fang Lei dies, I will not forget the general's kindness." ”
"Well, go down and tell your lord, I'm old and useless, and I'm powerless to disturb those disturbances, I just hope that the younger generations can have a happy marriage."
When Commander Fang heard this, he knew that persuasion was useless, and his identity was embarrassing, so he could only obediently retreat.
Speaking of which, General Yan still doesn't love the prince as a grandchild, how can he be so harsh on his grandson as a grandfather, forcing the prince to marry Yan Qingshu, just to completely bind the prince to the Yan family, and then the prince can only be completely controlled by him and become a puppet of the Yan family.
After confirming that Commander Fang had left, Old General Yan's expression changed, and he leaned over and took the letter in Yan Shizhang's hand and read it, "He's smart, but it's a pity that he's late." ”
Xuanlin is his first candidate, but not the only one, and now that other princes have come to show goodwill, Xuanlin's side is no longer important.
Yan Shizhang remembered that during the time in Liangu Village, he and his sister tried every means to promote cooperation, but Xuanlin was either cold-faced or perfunctory, as if he could only see that Lanzhou, a place where birds don't, was used by Wen Yunxi, and he still thought about her, even if his sister married and became a princess, she would be snubbed by Xuanlin, which was really not a good choice.
"Grandfather, the fourth prince has sent someone here again, do you think you want to refuse?"
Since the news of the old emperor's serious illness spread, the fourth prince Xuanwei and the fifth prince Xuanwei have sent people one after another, the former wants to marry Qingshu, and the latter promises with an official position, neither of them refused, and they are slowly talking about the conditions.
Xuan Wei is nearly thirty years old now, he has long been married to a princess, and his family has a group of wives and concubines, and now his princess's family is not as powerful as before, in order to win the support of new forces, the original princess suddenly died of illness, and the vacated position of the princess has become his new bargaining chip.
If he just wanted to marry the other daughters of the Yan family, Yan Shizhang still felt that the deal was cost-effective, and there was a possibility to talk about it, but Xuan Wei wanted to marry Qingshu, his own brother really didn't want his sister to marry someone like Xuan Wei, and he didn't want her marriage to be used by her family as a bargaining chip to expand her power like her aunt.
Although the marriage with Xuanlin was also considered a marriage, his own sister has loved Xuanlin for many years, Xuanlin's own character and appearance are outstanding, and he can be firmly controlled by the Yan family.
General Yan looked at Yan Shizhang unhappily, his grandson is good anywhere, it is the kindness of some women, Qingshu is indeed his favorite granddaughter, but no matter how much he loves his granddaughter, she is the Yan family, and she has to undertake the family mission.
"Shi Brown, the first thing you have to consider is what benefits the two princes can bring, not to worry about your own sister, if you can't put the interests of the family first, you won't use me in the future."
Yan Shibrown heard this, the Yan family has many descendants, only the candidate for the next head of the family who is favored by his grandfather can discuss in front of him, if he is really rejected, he will lose the qualification of the current head of the family.
"My grandson knows that he is wrong, and he remembers his grandfather's teachings."
General Yan casually answered and ordered, "Let King Wei's people come in." ”
"Yes."
Yan Shi's brown eyes flashed, and he bowed and retreated.
He really loves Qingshu's sister, but he is powerless in this matter, so he asks for more blessings.
At the same time, Liangu Village.
"Lord Wang, something is wrong!"
Manager Liu dragged the tension to open the door of Xuanlin's room, and shouted in a panic, there was no usual manager style at all.
"Dr. Wen is besieged in the Black Song Forest!"
Xuanlin was shocked when he heard this, and the brush in his hand fell directly to the ground, staining the hem of his clothes and the upper of his shoes.
"Come on, prepare the horses!"
Manager Liu loosened the collar of Zhang Li and quickly followed.
On the day the agreement was signed, Xuanlin asked Fang Lei to borrow troops from General Yan, and sent people to contact the Yanye clan and the two tribes in the north to help Wen Yunxi stop the Red Moon Army in the northwest garrison, and even asked Guajana to send people to support Wen Yunxi who returned to the Li Xi tribe, the Red Moon Army stationed in various places was blocked halfway, and the main force of the Red Moon Army led by Sang Fu also had the Liuyun Army of the Shui Yi tribe to block it, and judging from the news that came back, Sang Fu had been standing still in the southeast direction, and he didn't expect it at all, but in two days, Wen Yunxi was besieged by Sang Fu.
Moreover, he was still trapped in the Black Song Forest, not that the forest was terrible, but he was worried that Sang Fu would directly set fire to the mountain, and even if Wen Yunxi had more elixirs, he might not be able to survive the forest.
