Black-bellied young handsome and sick husband

"So?" Lu Lingyuan waited for his next words.

"You know, these people are very cautious. They are worried that you are the remnant of Rongdi's party and hope to remove you from your position, but I have [-]% trust in you, so I think you should hand over your military power first and wait until things stabilize. When the time comes, I will return everything to you again." Feng Dingyuan said slowly, although it sounded like he was discussing, it was not difficult to hear the meaning.

"Stable?" Lu Lingyuan sneered. "I don't care about wealth and power. If you don't trust me, you can just say so. You don't need to find so many reasons." Lu Lingyuan suddenly understood that perhaps all these years, Chen Xuanli's obedient attitude was all an illusion, or maybe, He will soon be the next Han Zian.

"You misunderstood me. The relationship between us didn't happen overnight. How could I distrust you? It's just that people's words are scary, and there are some things that we must avoid suspicion." Chen Xuanli looked very aggrieved.

"Okay, Chairman Chen, I will avoid suspicion. From tomorrow on, I will declare that I have handed over my military power. From then on, I have nothing to do with the officialdom." Lu Lingyuan said simply.

"Why do you have to say such absolute things." Chen Xuanli was still very embarrassed.

"No, I have found what I really want, so there is nothing wrong with this result, I don't have to eat today's meal, and there are people waiting for me at home, if nothing else If you don't, I won't accompany you." After Lu Lingyuan finished speaking, he turned and walked outside.

Chen Xuanli stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, glanced around, and sighed deeply.

Ji Boyan waited at home for a long time, but did not see Lu Lingyuan coming back, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, wondering if something happened to him outside.

Just when he was about to go out to look for it, Lu Lingyuan appeared at the door, smelling strongly of alcohol, and his face was a little flushed. With Lu Lingyuan's drinking power, being able to drink like this meant that something serious happened.

"What's going on, how did you drink like this?" Ji Boyan came over to help him, the strong smell of alcohol made him frown.

Lu Lingyuan looked at him, smiled mockingly, raised his hand, and stretched out four fingers. "Did you know? There are at least four guns hidden in the yard. If I acted rashly, I'm afraid I'd be dead already." His tone was full of sarcasm.

"What the hell happened?" Ji Boyan became more and more wrong the more he heard it.

"I really didn't expect that after so many years of friendship between us, he didn't even have the slightest trust in me." Lu Lingyuan looked up at the sky, feeling very complicated at the moment.

Ji Boyan heard what he said intermittently, and probably understood what he meant. "He deprived you of power, right?"

"How do you know?" Lu Lingyuan was three points sober from the wine, and looked at him with confused eyes.

"The little tricks in the officialdom are mostly the same. You think it's really the same as you are on the battlefield. Nothing is as important as affection." Ji Boyan felt that although he was very sharp and alert, sometimes he was unguarded against others. In this way, it is easy to be stabbed in the back, just like yourself.

"Of course I understand, but I thought he was different, but I didn't expect that they were all the same." Lu Lingyuan slammed his fist on the door frame, the sadness in his heart was far greater than the anger.

"Then you may have overestimated him. Things like rights can often easily change a person, not to mention that some people wear a hypocritical mask at the beginning, and once they reach the point of being unscrupulous, they will naturally reveal their true colors. "Ji Boyan himself didn't like Chen Xuanli very much.

"Yeah, you're right." Lu Lingyuan was supported by him, and staggered into the room.

The next day, the news of Young Marshal Lu's resignation was published in the newspaper. For a while, the people all over the city shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that it was a great loss for such a good general not to lead the army and defend the country from now on.

Accompanied by this news, a little girl in ragged clothes stood at the door, looking around timidly with big watery eyes.

"Hey? Kid, what's the matter with you?" Adjutant Zhang got up early in the morning, and saw a small figure standing there with a white and tender face, which was very pleasing.

"Yes, Chairman Chen asked me to come." The little girl was a little afraid to speak, her hands were clasped together, she bit her lip, and she looked very thin.

"Chen Xuanli." Adjutant Zhang wondered what kind of medicine that man was selling in his gourd.

"You are Niu Niu." Ji Boyan came out and couldn't help smiling when he saw this little girl.

"How do you recognize me?" Niu Niu was a little curious.

"Of course I recognize you. Someone dragged me to take care of you. From now on... you can follow us." Ji Boyan walked over and patted his head.

"Are you talking about Uncle Rong Di?" A light flashed in the little girl's eyes, and it was not difficult to see that Rong Di had tortured her severely.

"Yeah, it's your Uncle Rongdi." Ji Boyan smiled and narrowed his eyes, trying to make himself look amiable, but he looked like a cat.

"Where did Uncle Rong Di go?" The little girl was young and didn't understand some things very well, but Ji Boyan couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

"Niuniu, your Uncle Rongdi has done something wrong, he is going to a far, far place to reflect on himself, and he may not come back."

"Then he doesn't want Niu Niu anymore?" Niu Niu still stared at him with big eyes.

"Why would he not want you? It's just that he won't come back in a short time, Niuniu, remember, no matter what, you must never do anything wrong." Ji Boyan's tone was very gentle.

"Niu Niu understands." Niu Niu nodded.

"Niu Niu is so good, go in with uncle." After finishing speaking, Ji Boyan took her hand and led her in.

Adjutant Zhang was stunned. After all, it was the first time he had seen Ji Boyan like this. Thinking about his attitude towards the young marshal every time, no man could resist him, but when facing this little girl, Ji Boyan was like It's like a different person. From this point of view, with this little girl around, the young marshal's life in the future should be very miserable.

Ji Boyan brought Niuniu to Lu Lingyuan's yard. Lu Lingyuan had finished washing and was in a daze in the room, not knowing what he was thinking. When he saw Ji Boyan coming in, his eyes became very gentle.

"You're here." He rubbed his temples, still feeling a splitting headache.

"Yeah." Ji Boyan went to the table and poured him a glass of water. "Don't drink like that again."

"Did I lose my temper yesterday?" Lu Lingyuan looked up at him, he couldn't remember what happened last night at all, in general, he was drunk.

"Heh!" Ji Boyan chuckled lightly. "It's not only weird, it's really stupid."

"Did I do that?" Lu Lingyuan had never felt so ashamed.

"Don't talk about that, let me introduce you, this child is Niu Niu." Ji Boyan hooked his hand towards Niu Niu. "Girl, come here."

"Yes." For some reason, Niuniu saw Lu Lingyuan's so beautiful face, but it made people feel frightened from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid in her heart, and her steps were a little vain.After finally walking in front of the two of them, he didn't even dare to lift his head.

"You are Niuniu?" Lu Lingyuan looked at her. Such a small child is really cute. He suddenly remembered that it is impossible for him and Ji Boyan to have a child. Sooner or later, they will adopt one. This Niuniu appeared at this time. Come on. It was just the right time, so he fumbled in his pocket, wanting to find two pieces of candy or something to please the kid, but unexpectedly, after fumbling for a long time, he only took out a gun.

He took out the gun and put it in Niuniu's hand. "Little girl, uncle doesn't have any greeting gifts, so I'll give this to you."

Ji Boyan sat there with a dazed expression on his face. It was probably the first time he encountered such a thing of using a gun as a gift, and the object was a child.

But considering Lu Lingyuan's personality, it's not surprising that he could do such a thing.

When Niuniu saw the gun, her face became ugly, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you." Ji Boyan noticed her strangeness, walked up to her, squatted on the ground and touched her face, trying to calm her down.

"Grandma and mother were killed by it." Niuniu said with a trembling voice.

Ji Boyan suddenly understood the source of her fear, hugged her in his arms, and gently stroked her back. "It's okay, Niuniu, everything is over, and uncle will protect you well in the future."

"Uncle." Niuniu cried helplessly, the tears that flowed out wet Ji Boyan's shoulders and also wet his heart.

Seeing Ji Boyan hugging Niu Niu, Lu Lingyuan suddenly felt his nose sore, walked over to pick up Niu Niu, then put her on the stool and let her sit on his lap. "Niuniu, we will be your relatives from now on."

"Thank you uncle." Niu Niu still looked at him timidly with tears in her eyes.

"Don't call me uncle anymore, call me father." Lu Lingyuan said.

"Father?" Niu Niu couldn't recover.

"I will protect you from now on, and no one will dare to touch you." Lu Lingyuan's words were definitely not false, and his words made Niuniu feel very at ease. "Father." Niuniu wiped away tears, from now on, she is no longer alone, someone is willing to protect her, take care of her, she has a family again.

"Good girl." Lu Lingyuan pampered her little face, and suddenly there was only one more daughter, which was not a bad feeling.

"No." Ji Boyan was unhappy. "I brought him here. Why should I call you father?"

"Niuniu, this is your mother." Lu Lingyuan said quite naturally.What he said made Niuniu's eyes widen in disbelief, she was not stupid, how could she not know that only women can be mothers.

"Go away." Ji Boyan gave him a deep white eye, and then looked at Niuniu very tenderly. "Niu Niu, will you call me Dad from now on?"

"But..." Niu Niu looked at Lu Lingyuan with some embarrassment. "Niuniu already has a father."

"Did you see it?" Lu Lingyuan raised his eyebrows proudly, quite provocatively. "I'm already her father. Even if you want to rank, you can only rank second."

"You!" Ji Boyan stared at him, suddenly feeling speechless and could only clenched his fists. "Second is second, so what."

"That's what you said." Lu Lingyuan looked at Niuniu. "Call me second father."

"Second father." Niu Niu obediently called out.

"Good girl, Second Father will take you to eat delicious food." Ji Boyan snatched the child from his hands, hugged him in his arms and walked out with a smile.
