My son sleeps lightly

Sitting beside Xiao Chong's bed, Ye Lan finally understood why Xiao Chong wanted to accompany him by herself.

Zhang Tao, Cheng Yuan, and Di Hong all looked at Xiao Chong with serious faces, but also glanced at Ye Lan from the corner of their eyes.

What is he doing here?

Ye Lan also wanted to ask.

Xiao Chong said indifferently, "Since I was young, the second young master of the Ye family has treated me as much as a mountain. I have already treated him as my own brother in my heart. I don't want to hide any decision from him. Please treat the three of you as my own brother." As my relatives, if you have something to say, please say it together.”

Zhang Tao naturally understood Xiao Chong's meaning, and Cheng Yuan had a little understanding over the years, but Di Hong was the most incomprehensible.

"We're talking about business," Di Hong lowered his voice, threatening in his tone, "it's not something this kind of dandy understands."

Ye Lan didn't say a word, he also knew how much he didn't like the atmosphere, but he was not the one who would walk away because of Di Hong's humiliating words, he looked at Xiao Chong, waiting for his meaning.

Xiao Chong's lips were still a little pale, and his whole body still felt weak, but his movements were slow, but his words were inexplicably harsh, "I think he stays here."

"Then I'll stay here."

Ye Lan turned to Di Hong, and followed Xiao Chong's words.

Di Hong was taken aback, lowered his head and coughed. On this occasion, even Xiao Ao was rejected by Xiao Chong, but a person with a foreign surname could sit beside Xiao Chong. Wasn't Xiao Chong a servant in the first place, normal? There is such a relationship between master and servant. Di Hong glared at Zhang Tao, did he not tell him everything?

"Uncle Di, do you have any questions?" Xiao Chong asked again.

He was probing, and Cheng Yuan and the others could also guess.

For Xiao Chong, Di Hong is a person who is neither far nor close, wandering between trust and distrust, he needs Di Hong to show his loyalty, but Cheng Yuan feels that Xiao Chong does not look like he is preparing to cooperate with Di Hong, Instead, I want to order the other party directly.

This is a little risky.

After all, they are all in Di Hong's territory, and Xiao Chong has nothing to bet on except the name of Xiao Hantian's son.

But Xiao Hantian does not only have one son.

Xiao Chong didn't let Xiao Ao participate, probably because of this, even if he was abandoned, Xiao Ao would continue to live because of his value.

More and more like his father.

Cheng Yuan sighed silently in his heart, and at the same time he looked at Di Hong, waiting for Di Hong's reaction.

He has been thinking about this these days. Did Di Hong welcome Xiao Chong back because he wanted to be loyal to his master back then, or because he wanted to use Xiao Chong for his own ambition...

But he didn't expect Xiao Chong to have such courage, so he asked Di Hong to explain directly that they were admired by soldiers when they went straight.

Ye Lan also felt this unusual atmosphere from the eyes of several people. He was a little afraid. Except for Zhang Tao, these big men might help him a little. Get up, who will protect Xiao Chong.

"Uncle Di, you once said that if I want this Changling, you can give it to me, but is it true?"

Di Hong clenched his fists, "Yes."

"How and how much?"

"The old slave's life was given by the Generalissimo back then, but now the young master can do as much as he wants."

"If I want you to respect me as the city lord, and even the emperor in the future, are you willing?"

As soon as these words fell, Ye Lan was stunned, Xiao Chong's fever hasn't gone away, emperor?

The cities in the northern border are governed separately, and no one has thought of going the way of the Central Plains. First, the cities are united vertically and horizontally, and their strengths are actually about the same. Second, everyone in the northern border is used to freedom. If there is an emperor, I am afraid Those who are against want more.

What was shocking was that when Di Hong heard this, tears filled his eyes, he stood up from his seat, put his hands together, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and knocked his forehead on the ground, "I am willing."

Seeing him like this, Cheng Yuan and Zhang Tao were stunned for a while, then suddenly understood, and knelt down together with Di Hong.

Xiao Chong hid behind his back, and finally let go of his hand clutching the quilt. He hissed and won the bet.

From the very beginning, he felt that what Di Hong yearned for was different from Cheng Yuan and the others.

But most of it is also because of different perspectives.

Zhang Tao is content and happy, and lives in Ye Mansion. He has nothing to ask for, so he just wants to protect himself; Cheng Yuan turned from a slave to a bandit, thinking that the people in the northern border are sinister, and he wants to take him to the Central Plains in a different way. ; Only Di Hong, he is different.

Whether he brought the slaves in Changling to rebel or used some extreme means, what he wanted to do was to change the northern border.

The northern border has been divided for too long, it's time to unite.

Malicious competition in the city has brought about long-term wars for innocent people. The struggle of the nobles in the city and the scramble for wealth have increased the gap between the rich and the poor. More and more free people have become slaves under the hands of the rich. go down...

Xiao Chong had to admire Di Hong's ambition, he exhaled, and said, "Uncle Di, I don't want to be the emperor,"

Di Hong looked up at him.

"Just being able to participate in such a plan is really a man's great wish, and I have to be moved," Xiao Chong said again, "Xiao Chong is only 16 years old this year, and he is a young boy. It is my heart to have such care from the three seniors." Thank you, I just want to do something for you..."

His sincerity made Zhang Tao's eyes red.

"I am willing to stay in Changling and do my part for Uncle Di."

Di Hong let out a long sigh, he vaguely saw in Xiao Chong's eyes the shadow of Xiao Hantian back then, the appearance of the Generalissimo they had to admire.

Cheng Yuan sobbed twice, turned his head away, and helped Zhang Tao again, "Okay, okay, the little master is still recovering from his injuries, since we have talked about it, don't hide it from now on, I will stay too, If we are really going to do something big..." Cheng Yuan sighed with tears in his voice, "We still have to think about it in the long run."

Di Hong also covered his face, "It's a lot of age, and it's so embarrassing, let's go first."

Xiao Chong watched several people leave before he felt relieved, and then looked at Ye Lan, who seemed to have not recovered from the shock, looked at Xiao Chong, "Do you want to be the emperor of the northern border?"

"Ye Lan..."

Xiao Chong called Ye Lan's name inadvertently, which made Ye Lan's body tremble again.

It turns out that Xiao Chong is really not the Xiao Chong he used to be.

He was still his caring servant yesterday, but today he has become a candidate for the emperor who is supported by everyone.

Ye Lan froze, "I need some time."

……

Xiao Chong knew it would be like this. In fact, if he had done everything well first, it would be fine to tell Ye Lan slowly, but he promised that he would never hide anything from Ye Lan again.

"Okay." Xiao Chong felt his heart sank again.
