Xu Haoran is Zhou Junyan's knife, he said it, and he did it at the same time.

He has protected the other party from a young boy to the present, and even when the first emperor fell ill and the palace was chaotic, he used the power he had cultivated so hard to put the other party on the throne.

The little highness who has become an emperor, regardless of the opposition of the courtiers, let himself accompany him, walked the long road to the throne, and crowned him emperor.

His majestic little Highness, who seemed to be a majestic monarch, braved the world, just like before, and said to him with a smile: "Since you have become my Highness' sword, then you should be prepared to protect this Highness with you. Why? You retreat gone?"

How could it be possible to shrink back? He was looking forward to the day and night that one day, he would be able to accompany the little highness like this, and there would be only himself beside the other party, instead of other people.

That day, that road was not long at all, to Xu Haoran, it was just a short moment. He watched his little Highness trustingly lower his head slightly, exposing his fragile neck in front of his eyes, his eyes darkened, and he placed the crown on top of the other's head to comfort him. Lifting the hem of his clothes, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Thanks to the favor of the emperor, he himself does not need to kneel, but his highness, at this most important time, should be admired by all people.

When everyone lowered their heads, Xu Haoran raised his head for the first time in his life without Zhou Junyan speaking. He couldn't see the emperor's appearance clearly against the light, but he seemed to be seeing the other party with a faint smile, and stretched out his hand to him: "Ai Qing is always alive." .”

Stretching out his hand to put it on, Xu Haoran's heart kept pounding, and he tightly pursed his lips, not letting himself reveal any emotion.

The temperature in the palm was taken away all of a sudden, before Xu Haoran could react, he heard the other party's excited voice: "Master!"

Again, every time.

As soon as the master appears, His Highness will look away and never look down on others.

He who likes His Highness, how can he not see that the other party's eyes staring at Master are full of admiration and unspeakable secret joy.

It turns out that what other people said is true, you really can't hide your liking for someone, as long as you take a look, you can be seen.

Xu Haoran felt unwilling, as if his heart was being bitten by densely packed ants, he suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and bowed his head respectfully: "Master."

Looking at the other party's appearance, Changge gave a faint "hmm".

The other party just gave His Highness a gift and left, taking His Highness's heart with him at the same time.

Seeing His Highness looking sullen, Xu Haoran's heart was pinched even tighter. It would be good if there is no master, and it would be good if there are no people who can attract His Highness.

The dragon position of Zhou Junyan, who had just ascended the throne, was not stable. After the previous emperor left, even the prince who knew that he and the dragon position were hopeless were still ready to move; in addition, the surrounding tribes also heard the news of the new emperor's enthronement, and wanted to take advantage of the great Zhou and the new emperor's foundation. Unstable, repeatedly testing the bottom line of the frontier.

Those who were dissatisfied with the new emperor's appointment of Xu Haoran as the general of the country as soon as he came to power, after learning that the frontier wars had begun frequently, both the generals and the generals put the pressure on Zhou Junyan: Either Xu Haoran was dismissed, or the new emperor resolved the border disputes by himself. thing.

Zhou Junyan was naturally very angry, and when he was in the study, he swept away the memorial on the table, with a cold look on his brows: "Xu Haoran."

"The minister is here." The mature and stable young man knelt in front of the emperor, willing to expose his fragility to the emperor.

"I order you to go to the frontier today, are you willing?"

Xu Haoran raised his head and looked at the corners of the emperor's eyes that were blushing due to anger, and even had a desire to blaspheme the gods in his heart. He restrained all his inappropriate thoughts, and said in a low voice, "I am willing to go through fire and water for your majesty."

This is his little Highness, he is naturally willing to do anything for him.

The next day, all the ministers above the court still forced the emperor to obey his will, and even the prime minister came out to ask the emperor to take back Xu Haoran's title, thinking that the other party had no merits and was not qualified for his current position.

The emperor snorted coldly, looked at the group of courtiers who were relying on the old and selling the old, and said with a smile: "Then, as the prime minister said, I think that only the prime minister with such qualifications as the general of the country can handle such an important task. Why don't you give this position to the prime minister? This time The chaos on the frontier should also be quelled by the prime minister."

Hearing the emperor's words, the aged prime minister knelt tremblingly and shouted "Your Majesty, please think twice".

"Xu Haoran."

"The minister is here."

Zhou Junyan's originally cold eyebrows and eyes warmed up a little, and even the corners of his mouth showed a bit of sincerity: "As the general of Zhenguo, you are going to put down the border chaos this time, just for these people to see." Look, the people I appointed are as useless as they say."

"The minister takes the order and will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

Up and down the high positions, the monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, and the emperor said a few "good" words in succession, so he settled down. There are also some people who don't give up, and when they are about to speak, they are blocked by the emperor with the words "If you have dissatisfaction, you will settle it."

The night before the expedition, Zhou Junyan went out of the palace in private and had a long talk with Xu Haoran all night in the general's mansion. He personally ordered someone to put on the specially made armor for Xu Haoran, and finally looked up into his eyes, with a pair of eyes full of words Unspeakable worry: "No matter what, I hope you can put your own life first."

"Brother Haoran, besides you, there is no one around me who can be trusted."

He clearly knew that this was the emperor's way to buy people's hearts, but he still ran into it willingly, and even foolishly gave the other party his whole heart.

Only at this time can he get closer to his little Highness. He closed his eyes, restraining his urge to hug each other. He calmed down a bit before opening his eyes, with affection that he never dared to show outside: "I know."

"Except Your Majesty, no one can take the life of a humble minister."

During the expedition, the emperor personally sent him out of the city gate. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he tied his own safety talisman around his waist, with a faint smile on his brows: "I hope that General Xu will live up to the heavy responsibility and be able to do so." Come back early and return to life.”

"My, but if I don't see you for a day, it's like three autumns."

Everyone's figures seemed to have disappeared, Xu Haoran could only look at the appearance of his little Highness, and his ear clips couldn't help being stained a little red because of what the other party said: "I obey the order."

After getting on the horse, after walking a few steps, Xu Haoran looked back.

The figure of the Son of Heaven gradually became smaller, and he thought to himself that he should calm down the frontier as soon as possible, come back and take a good look at his little Highness.

After a farewell, I don't know when to see you again.

The author has something to say:

Brother Haoran really loves His Highness so deeply, although this is a spoiled knife!
