My son sleeps lightly

But things didn't go as expected, as soon as Xiao Chong started to deal with business, Cheng Yuan called him away.

He sat among several elders, and his appearance was incompatible with the elders.

Di Hong had to sigh in his heart, and said, "Little master, it's time for us to take action."

"west?"

"That's right," Di Hong nodded, "I think you've heard what He Hui said. Our current strength is still incomparable to the Luobei City that has been accumulated for many years. If we want to continue to expand, we still have to go west."

Xiao Chong nodded, "I know."

"The west is full of barbarians. It's easy to say, but difficult to say." Cheng Yuan analyzed from the side, "They are very difficult to fight, but if we can make peace, they will be our greatest help."

Di Hong asked Xiao Chong, "Actually, little master, if you don't want to lead troops, we can also..."

"No need," Xiao Chong looked at Di Hong squarely, "I can."

"Little master!" Cheng Yuan stood up, "Do you think we are too old to ride horses?"

Xiao Chong looked at him and sighed, "Uncle Cheng, you know very well..."

"I know what you mean. You think we are all the old troops of the Marshal. You should take good care of us. It's best to let us die of old age and sickness. But we are also people who grew up on the battlefield. We want to go."

"How old is not sensible." Di Hong gave Cheng Yuan a dissatisfied look, "Since the little master doesn't want you to go, you can just stay with me in Changling."

Xiao Chong stood up and bowed to Cheng Yuan, "It's not that I don't trust the strength of the uncles, otherwise I wouldn't have left my mother here. Everyone has been on the battlefield, so they should know what's going on behind the scenes. Humans have nothing less to do than strikers.” He said sincerely, “Indeed, I have selfish intentions. Those uncles risked their lives to protect our mother, son, and brothers, but now let you continue to charge forward. It’s really…”

"Brother Di, you stay here, I want to go with the young master."

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yuan came to this result.

Di Hong and Xiao Chong looked at each other and shook their heads, not knowing what to do next.

"Forget it, the older you get, the more stubborn you become." Di Hong snorted, and then said to Xiao Chong, "Then who are you going to take with you on this trip?"

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment.

……

He Hui and Ye Lan were playing chess, while Ye Xi and Xiao Ao were making moves, while Chang Qin just stood in the distance and watched quietly.

Xiao Chong walked in at this time and nodded to Chang Qin.

Chang Qin had a little idea of ​​what he was going to do, so he asked, "When are you leaving?"

"next month."

"soon?"

"Yes."

Looking at Xiao Chong's complicated expression, Chang Qin wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn't know where to start, so he turned around and stared at the noisy people over there.

"Brother! You are definitely going to lose!" Ye Xi was so impatient that he wished he could do it himself.

"Watching chess without talking is a real gentleman, can you stop the meeting!" Ye Lan was also annoyed that she was in a desperate situation, and the two brothers and sisters almost started fighting.

He Hui said leisurely, "No hurry."

Xiao Ao carefully observed the chess game with sideways eyes, silently thinking about the way to break the game.

Everyone didn't realize that Xiao Chong was approaching, and they were still arguing among themselves.

Xiao Chong winked at He Hui, telling him not to expose himself, walked behind Ye Lan, and handed him a cup of tea.

Ye Lan took it naturally, and continued to argue with Ye Xi, "Have you ever learned chess?! Just like this!"

Ye Xi snatched the water glass away and took a sip by himself, "I haven't learned it, I haven't seen it yet!"

Seeing how the siblings completely ignored Xiao Chong, He Hui couldn't help it, "Look behind you."

Ye Lan was startled, and smiled again, "Are you back?"

"Well," Xiao Chong looked at him, "When will you finish, I have something to tell you."

Ye Lan was a little curious, so she handed the chess piece to Ye Xi, "Hey, you are so capable, you can break it."

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Taking advantage of Ye Xi sitting in Ye Lan's seat, Xiao Ao whispered a few words in her ear.

This overly obvious cheating made He Hui helpless, and he slightly blamed Xiao Ao.

Xiao Ao spread his hands.

Ye Lan followed Xiao Chong into the room, he couldn't rest at all when he was just a little bit energetic, he really wanted to put all the gloomy memories behind him.

"Why, what did your uncles and uncles say?"

"They said they were going to abandon Luobei City and turn to the west." Xiao Chong pursed his lips and observed Ye Lan's expression carefully, "As for me, I will be preparing to leave with the army next month."

Sure enough, Ye Lan's smile became stiffer and stiffer, and at the end, she looked completely disappointed.

"I plan to take He Hui and Chang Qin with me this time," Xiao Chong continued, with a calm tone, "He Hui is thoughtful and always calm. He is very suitable as a military adviser, and Chang Qin, you know it too."

He stared at Ye Lan again, feeling that the corners of Ye Lan's mouth were completely deflated, "Do you have anything to say?"

Ye Lan is strong, Ye Lan is not sad.

Ye Lan said in her heart several times before shaking her lips, "It's nothing."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Chong couldn't bear to say, "You really don't mind?"

"It doesn't matter." Ye Lan raised her head, pretending to be indifferent in her eyes, "It's just another two years. I could afford to wait before, and it's the same now."

"I……"

"Needless to say, since you have already made up your mind, it doesn't matter to me."

Ye Lan quickly escaped from the room as if she was rushing for something.

Everyone was still chatting and laughing in the yard, and when they heard him push open the door, they looked over in puzzlement.

Ye Lan pulled the most awkward smile in her life, "Where did you go down?"
