I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

It was already midnight when the Jin Yiwei who went ahead returned to Jinling.

Xue Yan has been pestering people a lot recently.

The progress of the embankment repair is very fast. In the past two days, Jun Huailang has already started to adjust the blueprint of the embankment in his hand.He counted the days until he adjusted the drawings, just in time to start construction of the dam.

At that time, what he has to do will be completely completed.

He has been extremely busy these days, but His Royal Highness Guangling King, who is supposed to be busy, is not busy at all.

He was so free that he could accompany Jun Huailang to draw pictures in the study every day without disturbing him, so he would find some books to read beside him, and if there was anything to do, Jinbao would send the booklet to him After he finished processing, let Jinbao take it out.

When he got bored, he would rather sit there and stare at Jun Huailang than take it away.

Therefore, every time Jun Huailang raised his head inadvertently, he could see Xue Yan looking at him.

As soon as he met his eyes, Xue Yan smiled at him.

He was born sharp and handsome, obviously with a fierce look that is not easy to get along with, but when he smiled, he had a natural provocative energy, a bit ruffian, but very well-behaved.

Like a tamed wolf.

It was still the same tonight.

Jun Huailang was thinking about the construction period on the construction site, so he wanted to finish drawing the drawings in advance and compare them.After all, one day's work on the construction site will cost an extra day's money. The cost is so high that it's easy to run into shortages when the repair is halfway through.

Xue Yan couldn't stop him, so he could only paint with him.

He asked Jin Bao to deliver supper, stared at Jun Huailang after eating, then sat on the couch under the window next to the desk, reading a book bored.

Take a look at the book, then look at Jun Huailang two or three times.

When Jun Huailang was doing things, he was always engrossed, and it was difficult to be disturbed.Even so, in front of Xue Yan, he would involuntarily be distracted, occasionally raising his head and looking at him.

Silent and quiet, but there is an ambiguous breath slowly swaying.

After drawing for a while, Jun Huailang felt some pain in his neck.He sat up and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.

Xue Yan stood up.

"Tired?" He stepped forward and asked.

Jun Huailang pressed the back of his neck with one hand, moved it a few times, and said, "I'm not tired, just a little sore."

"What do you have to do in a day or two?" Xue Yan raised his hand, naturally placed it on his shoulder and neck, and slowly rubbed it for him.

His hands were already strong, but now he carefully restrained his strength and rubbed him gently.After rubbing it a few times, Jun Huailang put down his hand and relaxed, squinting his eyes and leaning on the chair.

"Money is being spent on the construction site." He turned his head to the side, his face just pressed against Xue Yan's wrist, and said lazily.

"How much difference, I'll make it up for you." Xue Yan's tone softened as he leaned against him like a cat.

Jun Huailang laughed softly.

"Public is public, private is private, how can you make love like this?" He said.

Xue Yan clicked his tongue.

"In public and private, you should sleep now," he said.

The two of them chatted one after another, Jun Huailang felt that the exhaustion all over his body gradually disappeared.

At this moment, Jinbao's voice sounded outside the door.

"Master, the people who went to Chang'an have returned." Jin Bao said.

"Let him in." Xue Yan said.

Jun Huailang was about to get up, but was pushed back by Xue Yan, still rubbing his shoulders and neck slowly.

"Okay, there's no need..." Jun Huailang whispered.

Xue Yan acted as if he didn't hear it.

Therefore, when Jin Bao led the Jin Yiwei in, what he saw was his master rubbing His Royal Highness's shoulders graciously.

However, as one of Xue Yan's subordinates, it is a basic quality not to watch what should not be seen, and not to listen to what should not be heard.

Jin Bao bowed and retreated, and Jin Yiwei knelt down on one knee in front of Xue Yan.

"What's the matter?" Xue Yan glanced at him and asked.

Jin Yiwei clasped his fists and said, "Just as the master expected. Your Majesty has already started planning to use troops against the King of Yunnan, and has already issued an imperial decree to ask his subordinates to bring them back."

The Jinyiwei who came here came back first to report to Xue Yan.The remaining few people are still waiting in Chang'an at this time, waiting for the officials who announced the decree to return together.

"What does the imperial decree say?" Xue Yan asked.

Jin Yiwei said: "Your Majesty's imperial decree said that the king of Yunnan is rebellious and intends to create chaos. His Majesty will immediately order troops and send troops south to Lingnan. Please wait in Jinling, and when the large army arrives, we will go to Lingnan together to quell the chaos."

Xue Yan laughed softly.

Jun Huailang, who was sitting there listening, frowned gradually, and asked doubtfully, "Why didn't your majesty say where and how many soldiers to order?"

How can such important information be vague?

Jin Yiwei shook his head and said, "It was not mentioned in the imperial decree."

Xue Yan laughed.

"Sure enough," he said.

Jun Huailang looked at him puzzled.

"Jin Yiwei went back to Chang'an in secret. After entering Chang'an City, the only one who can catch their traces is Dongchang." Xue Yan said. "I knew early on that I couldn't hide it from Dongchang's eyes. Now I just want to see what they plan to do."

"Then, what did they do?" Jun Huailang looked at him.

Xue Yan still kept rubbing and kneading, and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"The one who can make the emperor issue such an ambiguous decree must be someone who he also thinks should not be done." Xue Yan said. "Except for Xu Zonglun, there is no one else."

"Xu Zonglun?" Jun Huailang frowned. "Isn't General Xu the son of Prime Minister Xu?"

Xue Yan smiled lightly.

"Naturally, the emperor didn't make up his mind and wanted to give them one last chance." He said. "If the Xu family can remove the King of Yunnan for the emperor, and then take the opportunity to spit all the money he was greedy back to the treasury, then the Xu family can still use it with the emperor, as long as he turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, regardless of previous suspicions." That's it."

Jun Huailang's hands tightened involuntarily.

Sure enough, he discovered in his previous life that this king has always been ruthless.

His family has been keeping a low profile for so many years, not daring to cause the emperor any trouble, but in his previous life, his father was convicted without careful investigation because he was slandered and corrupt.

But now, the Xu family's two crimes of embezzling ink are confirmed, and there is sufficient evidence to confirm that they were the ones who did it.But even so, Emperor Qingping gave them a glimmer of life.

For Emperor Qingping, what is more important than laws and human relations is the role of these people.

It's useless, if you kill it, you kill it, and there is no need to delve into what is right and wrong.And what is useful, even if you have committed a crime, you can also give a chance for mercy outside the law.

Jun Huailang took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" Xue Yan keenly sensed the change in his mood, and lowered his head to ask.

Jun Huailang shook his head.

It's all in the past, and it's really not worth it in this life to dig into a dead end because of this.

Jun Huailang calmed down, and said: "Although it is so, there must be someone who can make the emperor make such a decree, right?"

Xue Yan hummed.

"The Xu family is saving themselves," he said.

"The Xu family?" Jun Huailang asked. "How did they get the news?"

He paused, then looked up at Xue Yan.

"...East Factory?" He said.

In Chang'an, apart from Dongchang, I am afraid that no one has this kind of skill.

...But isn't Dongchang standing in Xue Yan's camp?

Xue Yan hummed.

"Dongchang leaked the news to the Xu family, allowing the Xu family to obstruct it." He said.

Seeing Jun Huailang's surprised expression, he smiled in a low voice, and raised his hand to rub his face.

"What benevolence and righteousness can those people in Dongchang talk about?" he said. "What they want is not a master, but a puppet who can obey what they say."

Jun Huailang looked at him.

Seeing Xue Yan casually said: "They originally thought that I could be such a puppet, but now it seems that it is completely beyond their control."

"Then why did they help the Xu family?" Jun Huailang asked.

Xue Yan said: "Xu wanted to borrow Xu's family to break my leg and make me more obedient."

Jun Huailang was dumbfounded for a moment.

He knew that court battles, especially those involving the heirs of the harem, were especially chaotic and messy.However, when such a thing happened to someone close to him, he still couldn't help feeling distressed.

He raised his hand and took Xue Yan's hand.

Xue Yan grabbed him back.

"Then what's the situation in Chang'an now?" He asked Jin Yiwei again.

Jin Yiwei said: "When your subordinate left Chang'an, His Majesty was gathering troops. According to reports, His Majesty is gathering soldiers and horses from a certain pass in the north of Chang'an City. They will gather in the outskirts of Chang'an City, and His Majesty will have a farewell party."

Jun Huailang felt that Xue Yan's hand tightened a little bit.

After a while, he laughed in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.

"... Sure enough," he said.

Jun Huailang looked at him hurriedly.

I saw Xue Yan pursing his lips, as if he was holding back something, and after a while, the corners of his lips curled up, and he said with a sarcasm: "I've been smart all my life, but I just can't figure it out on this kind of thing."

Jun Huailang vaguely noticed that Xue Yan was talking about Emperor Qingping.

Seeing Xue Yan instructing Jin Yiwei: "Go, gather all the troops, and set off with me tomorrow morning."

He paused, and then said: "Let Duan Shishi go first, and after returning, stay at Yongning Duke's Mansion, and make no mistakes."

Jun Huailang hurriedly stood up: "You want to go back to Chang'an?"

Xue Yan looked at him.

"He only thinks that he gave the Xu family a way out and broke their spine, so they can obey him even more in the future," Xue Yan said. "But he forgot that what the Xu family wanted was never these things."

Jun Huailang paused, and said slowly.

"So, when soldiers are approaching the city, it is a good time to make trouble." He said. "If...they live in His Majesty's court, after a few years, they still don't know what it will be like, so they have to give it a go. If they can change the dynasty and push a new emperor to the throne, then they can turn around and regain power?"

Xue Yan nodded.

"I have to go back." He seemed relaxed. "...I can't really make Xue Yunhong the emperor."

But Jun Huailang could see that what he said was not very consistent with his thoughts.

There was still panic in his eyes.

Jun Huailang can probably understand him.

Emperor Qingping was extremely selfish, because of a piece of hexagram, he left Xue Yan in Yanyun and ignored him.After he came back desperately, he abused him many times because of this.

But after that, just because the hexagrams were unraveled, and there seemed to be a way to decipher it, Emperor Qingping could feel at ease and be his good father again.

Capricious, love wants him to live, evil wants him to die, but this man is Xue Yan's biological father.

Before that, he had never received the slightest bit of paternal love, and now, apart from the extreme hatred for that person, he must have also developed some fetters that he himself could not stop cutting.

Human nature is so complicated that no one can do anything about it.

Jun Huailang pushed away the chair and hugged Xue Yan head-on.

Xue Yan paused, and put his arm around his shoulder.

"If he dies, he will cause trouble for me again." He gritted his teeth.

"Yes, I know." Jun Huailang said softly. "But...Xu Zonglun's soldiers and horses must be able to surround Chang'an City. If you bring these brocade guards back, how can you compete with them?"

Xue Yan said: "I also made the worst plan."

"Ok?"

"The Jin Yiwei who returned to Beijing to send the play, I had already asked them to divide into two groups, one to Chang'an and the other to the north." He said. "At this time, the Yanyun iron cavalry has already set off, lurking in the north of Chang'an City, just waiting for my order."
