Prince is a ghost

The emperor nodded, "Let him in."

"Since His Majesty and the General have something to discuss, I'd better step down first."

"No. Even if you..." The emperor turned his eyes away from Chu Quan, "Even if you don't accept my wishes, I will still use you. General Chu is also my confidant, and you and him will be my confidants in the future." You must get along well with your right-hand man."

Chu Quan smiled and said, "But I don't think I can get along with the general."

"Why not?" The emperor snorted coldly, "Don't you like beauties? He is a beauty, and you should be very willing to get close to him."

Chu Quan spread his hands and looked innocent: "I like beauties, but I don't like femme fatales."

The emperor said angrily, "You both have the surname Chu, and you were still in the same family 500 years ago. Why can't you get along?"

"What his last name is is his business, and it has nothing to do with me."

The emperor vaguely felt that Chu Quan's attitude was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.During the conversation, the eunuch had already brought Yan Xichao in. When he saw Chu Quan, his eyes darkened, he knelt down towards the emperor, and said hello to Chu Quan again: "Lord Chu."

Chu Quan smiled, "General Chu."

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite. Is there anything I need to do here at this time?"

Yan Xichao's eyes lingered on Chu Quan's face for a moment, and he was a little absent-minded for a moment.

"Ai Qing?"

Yan Xichao looked away, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I want to leave the capital for a few days."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Is there something important about Aiqing?"

A general with a heavy army in his hand cannot go anywhere easily unless he is ordered by the emperor.Although the emperor trusted Yan Xichao, he still had a little precaution. Now that Yan Xichao's power was growing, he had to guard against it.

Yan Xichao glanced at Chu Quan, "It is indeed a very important matter."

"What's the matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty is the subject's family business."

The emperor became even more skeptical. He remembered that Yan Xichao was an orphan without father or mother, and had no other relatives. How could he suddenly leave Beijing to handle family affairs?

Yan Xichao saw what the emperor was thinking, and explained, "It's the minister's wife."

Chu Quan involuntarily glanced at Yan Xichao.

The emperor suddenly realized.It is said that Yan Xichao has a wife who is seriously ill and has been recuperating in Yan Xichao's hometown. After all these years, the illness has not recovered. Several ministers thought that Yan Xichao's wife's life would not be long, so they fought to let their family The thought of his sons and daughters continuing Yan Xichao's strings.

"So, has your wife recovered from her illness?"

"Return to Your Majesty, he has woken up, I want to go back and see him." Knowing the emperor's consideration, Yan Xichao said again: "I am away from home, so it is inconvenient to carry such important things as the Tiger Talisman with you. So I want to leave it to Your Majesty for the time being." Keep it, and ask Your Majesty for permission."

Only then did the emperor open his mouth: "Aiqing wants to see her beloved, how can I obstruct it? As for the tiger charm, I will return it to you when you return."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of beauty is that woman who makes Aiqing fall in love with her so much. If you have a chance, let me meet you."

Yan Xichao gave a rare smile, "I will."

The emperor's mood improved, "Since the two lovers are here, let's have dinner with me later. By the way, Chu Quan, does the wound on your forehead still hurt?" the emperor asked with guilt.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

"Well, I will send some medicines for trauma to your house later, I hope there will be no scars."

"Of course not, Your Majesty need not worry."

The emperor wanted to have a drink with the two courtiers, but news came that the queen was unwell. The emperor's only heir was in the queen's womb. The emperor was quite worried and rushed over immediately.

Chu Quan and Yan Xichao left the palace together, walking side by side.

Yan Xichao asked: "What's the matter with the wound on your forehead?"

Chu Quan chuckled, "I don't remember you caring about such a small injury."

"I just care about you."

"Then I would like to thank the general for his kindness."

Yan Xichao was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "This time, I am going to Wangchuanhe."

Chu Quan curled his lips, "Why, is the general going to review the scene of the resurrection?"

Yan Xichao ignored Chu Quan's sarcasm, "If I could, I would never want to go back to that place again, after all you were there..." Yan Xichao paused, and continued: "But I have to understand, the past seven years What happened to you? Originally, I entrusted Yin Yunzhou to handle this matter, but he wrote after he arrived at the Wangchuan River. The old man said that unless I went to him personally, he would not tell me anything. "

"Why didn't the general come to ask me directly?"

Yan Xichao asked back, "Will you tell me?"

"No." Chu Quan said decisively, "What does my matter have to do with you?"

Yan Xichao smiled bitterly: "I knew you would say that. Zhuang Sui and the others advised me not to go. After all, it is a critical moment. It is not a good idea for me to leave the capital, not to mention handing over the military power temporarily. However, I have to know about your seven years no matter what." Yan Xichao looked at Chu Quan intently, "This is the first time that I ranked you first, and I actually think it feels good. "

Chu Quan felt a little irritable, and said coldly, "Go as long as you want, it's none of my business." After speaking, he strode forward.

After dealing with the matters in Beijing, Yan Xichao planned to leave immediately.Before departure, Zhuang Sui tried every means to dissuade Yan Xichao, but Yan Xichao did not change his mind. Yan Xichao's confidants were very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

But there is one person who is very happy.After Gu Yongnian knew that his general was going on a long journey, he clamored to go with Yan Xichao.

"General, I haven't gone out for a long time. I stay in the mansion every day, and I'm almost suffocated. General...Brother Yan, why don't you take me there?"

Yan Xichao said helplessly, "Yongnian, this time I'm not just traveling around."

"So what? It's a long journey anyway, and you'd be bored by yourself. Wouldn't it be nice to have me with you?" Gu Yongnian shook Yan Xichao's arm, coquettishly: "Just promise me! "

Yan Xichao looked at the willful young man in front of him, and sighed heavily in his heart.This is completely different from Gu Bai in the previous life, and he is also to blame. After keeping Gu Yongnian by his side, he has always been doted on in every possible way. He will try his best to satisfy what Gu Yongnian wants, which makes him form such a squeamishness. temperament.Yan Xichao couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't intervened in Gu Yongnian's life, what would that child look like? Was he also a heroic general like Gu Bai?

"Brother Yan, will you take me there?" Gu Yongnian was very confident, after all his request had never been rejected by Yan Xichao.

Yan Xichao shook off Gu Yongnian's hand and said resolutely, "No."

Gu Yongnian's eyes widened, and he called out in disbelief, "Brother Yan?"

"Absolutely not this time, you don't need to say it again."

Gu Yongnian stared blankly at Yan Xichao, his deer-like eyes were wet, then stomped his feet and ran away angrily.
