Quick Wear Binding Rescue System

Chapter 46: Saving the General 7

Although he trusted the current emperor very much, He Zhiqiu still didn't want to tell the boy about it. After all, if the emperor knew about his existence, he would definitely set up a reward for him. This would let the enemy know about the boy's existence, and the boy's safety would not be guaranteed.

So he said, "This time I thought I was doomed, but on the way I fled I happened to meet a giant insect, which helped me to fight off the bandits and escape from danger, so I was able to return to the capital safely."

Hearing that the other party was lucky enough to be saved by a wild beast, Gao Huaiyu's anger could not be suppressed. Could it be that God really stood on the other party's side? What was he then? He was the ruler of the world, shouldn't God be on his side? Why was God against him?

He said calmly, "The general is truly blessed by God. Even wild beasts know how to protect him. I'm afraid the world won't work without him. I hope he takes good care of himself."

Hearing the other party's sarcastic words, He Zhiqiu did not notice anything wrong. He just felt that the emperor was really a good emperor who cared about his subjects.

He said: "This is just my good luck. I happened to meet a kind-hearted beast."

Gao Huaiyu originally wanted to hint at the other party's intention to seize his throne, but the other party pretended to be completely unaware, which really made him angry.

Prime Minister Wei Yuanyao looked at the emperor, who was almost unable to maintain his kind face, and said, "The general has made great contributions in guarding the border, and this time he returned to the capital to report on his work and suffered such a great disaster. Your Majesty, should you prepare a welcoming banquet for the general?"

After hearing Wei Yuanyao's words, Gao Huaiyu suppressed his indignation and said, "We must hold a welcoming banquet for the general. Let's do it in three days. The general must come to attend then.

As he spoke, he personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to He Zhiqiu, saying: "General, you came back very late this time, and I haven't made any preparations for your reception. I will use this glass of wine instead. I hope the general doesn't mind."

Looking at the wine that the emperor handed to him, He Zhiqiu didn't think much about it. He took the wine from the emperor's hand and drank it.

Gao Huaiyu watched the other party drink up the wine in one gulp, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

He said: "How about this, since we don't have time to welcome you today, let's invite you to enjoy the opera performed by the new troupe in the capital. I heard that this troupe is very popular among the masses. What do you think, General?"

He Zhiqiu wanted to go back and have dinner with the boy right now, but now hearing the emperor's request, he couldn't just leave, so he had to agree: "Your Majesty invites me, and I will obey."

Arriving at the viewing hall, He Zhiqiu and Prime Minister Wei Yuanyao sat on the left and right sides of the emperor respectively. Not long after the performance began, He Zhiqiu felt dizzy. He thought to himself, "I got drunk with just these two or three glasses of wine. He usually drinks several jars of wine at the border. It seems that the wine here is really good!"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the red brocade bag that the boy gave him. He opened the red brocade bag and found a white jade bottle inside with the words "hangover medicine" marked on it.

He thought that Ah Ran was really well-prepared, even knowing that he would get drunk. He quickly stuffed the hangover medicine into his mouth when no one was paying attention. After a while, he felt clear-headed and no longer felt dizzy. He thought to himself, "Young man, this hangover medicine is really useful."

Gao Huaiyu calculated the time and waited for He Zhiqiu to faint, but half an hour passed and the other party was still clear-headed and was enjoying the food in his palace with relish.

He speculated: "Is the other party immune to all poisons?" Then, he suppressed his inner irritation and said: "General, you are old enough to get married, right? Do you have someone you like? Tell me, and I will issue an order for you."

Hearing the emperor's words, He Zhiqiu immediately thought of Mu Ran, but he and the boy were both men, so how could they get married?

So he said, "Your Majesty, the foreign enemies have not been eliminated yet, and I have not considered marriage yet."

Hearing He Zhiqiu's words, Gao Huaiyu retorted: "It is because the war is tense that the general wants to leave a bloodline for himself. How about this, my third sister Princess Yunyao has not yet married, I wonder what the general thinks?"

Everyone knows that the third sister of the current emperor, Princess Yun Yao, is a person of temperament. To say that she is a person of temperament is an exaggeration.

Although Princess Yun Yao is not married, she has a group of male lovers under her command, and some of them even kidnapped men in the street.

So Princess Yun Yao is a person that everyone in the capital wants to avoid. How could he agree that His Majesty wants to give such a person to him as his wife?

He said tactfully, "Wei Chen appreciates your majesty's kindness, but I am living on the edge of a knife and cannot give Princess Yun Yao the life she wants. I am afraid that I will fail your majesty's kindness. I hope your majesty will take back your order."

Hearing He Zhiqiu's refusal, Gao Huaiyu felt that he had He Zhiqiu's life in his hands, and it was impossible for him to take back his decision.

So he said: "General, you have such great military achievements, how can you not be worthy of my third sister? If I say you are worthy, then you are worthy. General, don't refuse. It's because you don't like my third sister."

Hearing this, He Zhiqiu's subordinates were all worried for He Zhiqiu.

They thought: "Their Majesty knows exactly what kind of person Princess Yunyao is, but he still wants to marry her to his general. What is his Majesty up to?"

At this time, they suddenly remembered the lucky bags given by the young man. They opened both bags anxiously. After reading the bags, they all felt that the general's marriage could definitely be rejected with reason and evidence, but the general's reputation would have to be ruined. However, they could not care about these at this time.

Deputy General Ling Huaifeng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. I hope Your Majesty will do it."

Gao Huaiyu thought that he was holding He Zhiqiu's lifeline, so there was nothing he couldn't hear. He said, "Please speak, my dear."

Ling Huaifeng said, "Your Majesty, the general is really not worthy of Princess Yunyao. The general actually has a homosexual tendency. When we were on the battlefield, we rescued a young man who was as pretty as a peach. The general fell in love with him at first sight. The general was afraid that his tendency would pollute your Majesty's ears, so he never told you. This time when he returned to the capital to report on his work, the general brought the young man back to the general's mansion so that he would not be separated from him."

Just as Ling Huaifeng finished speaking, a woman rushed in from outside the palace. She knelt down in front of Gao Huaiyu and said, "Brother, do you really want the royal sister to marry such a homosexual?"

She wiped her tears while speaking, "I am your only blood relative now. Why don't you discuss this important matter with me?"

How could Gao Huaiyu admit that he was a person who didn't tolerate his brothers? He thought to himself, "How come this imperial sister came so timely?"
