After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 107
[Chapter 107]
Jiang Suizhou’s hand holding the letter suddenly tightened.
No wonder… He calculated the time to come here from Yecheng, and seeing that the time was delayed a lot, he suspected something was different.
He guessed that Huo Yuyan would not let it go even if Emperor Zhaoyuan agreed, but he didn’t expect… Huo Yuyan was actually afraid of Huo Wujiu.
In the history of Huo Yuyan, since the battle of Xunyang, his body was fundamentally damaged, and he was not as good as before.
Since he became a prince, he has been raised in Yecheng, and he dared not go out for half a step. Even so, he only lived to be more than thirty years old and died. For his current body, it was possible for him to leave Yecheng and go to Lin’an under such circumstances, which shows how much he fears Huo Wu Jiu.
Jiang Suizhou took the letter and pondered for a while.
“Go back to General Lou and say I know,” he said. “Let him rest assured.”
The scout hurriedly got up.
Then I heard Jiang Suizhou say: “Meng Qianshan, go and ask General Huo where he has gone, send someone to tell him and ask him to come back as soon as possible.”
“Yes! The servant will do it now!” Meng Qianshan said hurriedly.
The two retreated, and the imperial study suddenly became much quieter.
Jiang Suizhou took the letter and pondered.
Huo Yuyan dared to come, it means that he did not know that Huo Wu Jiu had his evidence in his hands. Although Li Sheng was killed by Huo Wu Jiu, but now everyone in the world thinks that Li Sheng has a different heart and wants to get rid of Huo Wu Jiu.
It is precisely because of this that Huo Wu Jiu and Emperor Zhao Yuan wrote letters, and Bei Liang sent so many officials to the south, no one was surprised.
Now, only Jiang Suizhou, Huo Wujiu and Lou Yue know the truth, and only Jiang Suizhou and Huo Wujiu know that Huo Wujiu has secret letters between Huo Yuyan and Pang Shao.
Although Huo Yuyan’s arrival was beyond Jiang Suizhou’s expectations, now that the enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark, Huo Yuyan is more passive.
If handled properly, for them, Huo Yuyan would take the initiative to bring the handle to the door.
Jiang Suizhou rubbed the edge of the paper, lost in thought. ——In the summer, the big river passing between the northern beams and the southern scenery passes by. The trees on both sides of the river are shady, forming a unique scenery of the south of the Yangtze River
. Lou Yue stood by the river and took a deep breath. As soon as the news of Huo Yuyan’s arrival was delivered to him, he immediately sent someone to forward it to Jiang Suizhou without stopping. He knew that Jiang Suizhou’s people would definitely prepare everything in Lin’an. What he had to do was to hide all his thoughts, and he had to bring everyone who had brought Yecheng back safely. He looked stern, but Lou Wanjun next to him didn’t notice it. She waited impatiently, riding a horse and strolling along the river. She folded the whip and tucked it back around her waist, raised her hand and folded a willow, and fluttered it lightly, urging the horses to wander along the riverside. She shook Lou Yue’s heart. “Be honest!” Lou Yue said to her, frowning in disapproval. Lou Wanjun didn’t take it to heart at all, swung the willow branch with one hand, and turned her head with one hand on the reins. “Standing stupid means being honest?” she retorted. “I’m free, this horse is going to be imprisoned.” Lou Yue held back for a long time, and warned, “The prince of Beiliang will come in a while, be careful and don’t break the etiquette.” Lou Wanjun sneered . With a loud voice, he said, “His Royal Highness, decades ago, I was covering him and playing with him.” Lou Yue hurriedly scolded her: “It doesn’t matter! No matter what happened in the past, he is still there now. It’s the crown prince and the royal family, you mustn’t talk nonsense like this!” Lou Yue thought about the quarrel between Huo Yuyan and Huo Wu Jiu, but still didn’t tell Lou Wanjun. One is that Lou Wanjun is upright and can’t hide his thoughts, and the other is that it can be safer if one less person knows about this matter.
What’s more, in Lou Yue’s mind, Lou Wanjun was just a girl’s family, neither had an official position, nor was he a man.
And Lou Wanjun didn’t know his so many thoughts and concerns.
She sighed: “In front of him, of course I won’t say it, and I’m not stupid.” While the
two were talking, the shadow of the ship was already seen on the river. The flag that was hung on it was from Beiliang. The leader was a large two-story ship, which seemed to be the leader of the boat.
Lou Yue’s whole body was tense, and the expression on his face was hurriedly closed.
“Here comes the man,” he said. “Be careful.”
Lou Wanjun gave him a strange look.
Although her father’s expression was serious and solemn, it didn’t look like he was welcoming his own family, but rather like he was preparing to deal with some enemy.
She withdrew her gaze and looked towards the river.
Then I saw that the boat came slowly, swayed the waves, and sailed across the slowly flowing river. The river was wide, and the boat traveled slowly, it should have been a quarter of an hour before it stopped at the riverside.
Lou Yue’s soldiers and horses were already lined up by the river, with silver armor and red tassels, and flags fluttering. Seeing the boat stop, Lou Yue led his generals to meet him, and saw the big boat put down the pedals, and the guards quickly lined up to get off the boat.
Lou Yue stopped in front of the pedal.
After seeing the guards lined up on both sides, several eunuchs and palace maids slowly descended with honor guards. Lou Yue prepared a smile on his face, but Lou Wanjun, who was beside him, was surprised.
“It’s such a big show!” she whispered.
Lou Yue hurriedly glanced at her.
At this moment, a person walked slowly to the pedal.
On the snow-white brocade boots, the python pattern was densely woven with gold threads, shining in the sunlight, reflecting the unique color of gold.
Looking down, it is a graceful young man dressed in a snow-white gold robe, wearing a jade-inlaid gold crown, and a face like a crown of jade.
He was tall and slender, but he seemed thin. This kind of woven gold white clothes has never been able to be supported by ordinary people, but when he wears it, he looks elegant and extravagant.
As he stepped off the pedal, Lou Yue and everyone behind him knelt down one after another, and the armor made a clanging sound.
“Lou Yue, the last general, welcome His Royal Highness!” Lou Yue said.
Behind him, Shanhu rang out.
Everyone knelt down, and the silver armor was shining for a while, looking like a landslide and tsunami. The young man was calm, walked up slowly, stopped in front of Lou Yue, and leaned on his arm.
“Uncle Lou doesn’t need to be more polite.” He said warmly.
Lou Yue followed his strength and stood up, looked up, and saw Huo Yuyan who smiled at him in a gentle manner.
He is no different from when he was young. He is gentle and smiling, and he is handsome and delicate, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which are warm and tight. When he was in Yangguan that year, he was different from the wild monkeys raised in Yangguan. He was accompanied by poetry and books on weekdays, and his speeches were also unhurried.
But Lou Yue also knew that this child was very thoughtful when he was young.
Huo Wu Jiu only likes to practice martial arts, not to read books. He was beaten up and down by his father all day long. When he was the most skinny when he was seven or eight years old, he still called him “Lou Yue”.
Huo Yuyan was different. Not only is he proficient in poetry and books, he is self-restrained and knowledgeable, and he never slackens in martial arts. He had no talent, so he devoted all his efforts to diligence. In dog days, when Huo Wu Jiu led a group of valet to hunt in the mountains to hide from the cold, he was alone in the yard with no shade, until the third watch.
It is precisely because of this that since he led the army in the uprising, he has become a martial artist and is a well-known jade-faced Confucian general in the army. If it wasn’t for Huo Wu Jiu’s excessive limelight, who wouldn’t know about Huo Yuyan’s fame?
Thinking of this, Lou Yue sighed in his heart, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
“It’s a no-brainer!” he laughed. “I’ve been exhausted by boat and car, has Your Highness been working hard?”
Huo Yuyan shook his head with a light smile upon hearing this.
“The body has been useless in recent years, but it’s okay.” He said. “The adults from the south take care of me, walk slower, and I’m not too tired.”
Gentle, corporal Li Xian, he seems to have not changed at all.
If he hadn’t really known what Huo Yuyan did behind his back, Lou Yue would never have believed that the child who was very thoughtful but extremely polite back then would stab Huo Wu Jiu in the back with a knife.
“Then don’t worry!” Lou Yue said.
“Uncle Lou is just seeing the outside world. Yuyan is not your highness in front of you, just your junior.” Huo Yuyan said warmly. “Uncle Lou hasn’t seen old age at all, but seeing you now is like when he was still in Yangguan.”
Lou Yue smiled and waved his hand: “It’s just like what His Highness said. More than ten years have passed, and I’m getting old!
” Before I leave, the royal father made a special trip to instruct me.” Huo Yuyan continued. “This time Wu Jiu was able to successfully recover Jiangnan, all thanks to your help, Uncle Lou. The emperor said, “Uncle Lou, for your high righteousness, I need to thank you personally.” After speaking
, he bowed and surrendered to him . Lou Yue saluted.
Lou Yue quickly supported him.
“This is impossible! His Royal Highness, there are differences between monarchs and ministers!” he said.
After supporting Huo Yuyan, Lou Yue felt how weak his body was. Originally, although this boy looked handsome, his martial arts skills were as good as any good general in the army. But at this moment, he helped him up, but he obviously felt that he had no strength, and he was light and airy, as if his bones were empty.
Even though he knew that the child was vicious, Lou Yue couldn’t help but feel sour in his heart.
When the Duke of Dingbei was alive, although Huo Wu Jiu had only one son, Huo Yuyan was the one who loved him the most.
Lou Yue easily blocked Huo Yuyan’s salute, and Huo Yuyan did not entangle with him, and stood up straight with his strength.
“His Royal Highness has worked hard all the way, and it is inconvenient to stand here and talk all the time.” Lou Yue said. “The banquet has already been prepared in the city. Your Highness might as well go with the last commander and have some light meals. After two days of repairing, we will leave for Lin’an.”
Huo Yuyan smiled lightly when he heard the words, his expression was gentle, and he couldn’t see the slightest clue: “That would be the best. And thanks to the blameless, if he hadn’t arranged the whole Nanjing in an orderly manner, I wouldn’t be lucky enough to hide here.”
With his happy and gentle demeanor, who could see the sullenness behind his back?
Lou Yue lowered his eyes, hiding his complicated eyes.
At this moment, he heard Huo Yuyan whimper, turned sideways, and asked to his side, “Sister Wanjun is also there?” Lou Wanjun
looked up and saw the slender and quiet boy from the past, tall and jade-like. , standing in front of her, brows and eyes as gentle as water.
“Sister Wanjun is so beautiful,” he said. “Between his eyebrows and eyes, he actually looks a bit like Mrs. Lou.”
He said with a faint smile.
Lou Wanjun took a breath without a trace, her mouth suddenly became awkward, and she didn’t know how to reply.
It’s so beautiful. she thought.
Like a magnolia flower, let the wind blow, it trembled in her heart.
