In the evening, Chu Qingyan and Xiao Xu accompanied Chu's father and Chu's mother to eat.
Eating and eating, Father Chu suddenly said a word out of nowhere, "Put the onion upside down, will we be homeless?"
This question made everyone at the table bewildered, Xiao Xu was the first to react, "Why did the old man say that?"
Father Chu then touched his nose and explained honestly, "Father heard someone say today that a lot of people are beating our country, the country of warehouses, the country of burnt-out flowers, the country of buildings, etc. Soon they will eat Xixuan, From now on, we will live a life full of tears."
Chu Qingyan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Where did Daddy hear this from? It's okay to use the idiom wrong. The name of such a good and tall person is so down to earth. Daddy is so talented!
Although what Father Chu said was the truth, Xiao Xu couldn't help but smile, and Mother Chu couldn't help but feel hot on the side, and hurriedly explained for her husband, "Your father heard it from others, but I can't remember it clearly. It's a joke."
Xiao Xu said nothing, then turned to Father Chu and said, "We will not be homeless, let alone live a life of tears, my son-in-law can assure you."
Chu Qingyan really wanted to laugh, but when the big ice cube made a statement, she immediately put away her smile and said to her parents equally seriously, "Don't worry about my parents, we will protect your safety, besides, as long as there are you Yes, wherever you are is home.”
Mother Chu nodded in relief, she did not see the son-in-law wrong, and her daughter was also very high-spirited, feeling that her whole life was complete.
Father Chu also nodded earnestly with them, but he was only handsome for three seconds, and serious for only three seconds. He just heard Father Chu blinking and saying to his son-in-law.
"Invert the onion, are you still short of people? The one who can fight."
When she walked out of her parents' tent, Chu Qingyan was still in a state of separation from her body and soul. Her soul returned quickly until someone saluted them. She strode to catch up with the person in front of her and asked inexplicably, "Big ice cube, Why don't you refuse Daddy's request?"
"It's rare for the old man to do something serious, and it's out of kindness. As a junior, he shouldn't attack his enthusiasm." Xiao Xu knew that she would ask such a question, and smiled.
"That's right, but why do you want him to win against Mu Ling and Kong Ling?" Chu Qingyan threw a more puzzled question.
"Because the two of them are the most free at the moment."
"That was not what I meant!"
Xiao Xu stopped, turned around and looked at her with a smile, "Do you think the old man can win the two of them?"
Chu Qingyan shook her head without thinking.
Xiao Xu raised his hand and scratched her nose, "That's right, what's a better way to persuade people than to retreat in spite of difficulties? Isn't the problem solved? It can achieve the goal without hitting the old man, isn't it? Best of both worlds?"
Chu Qingyan didn't care about being molested, thinking that the big ice cube made sense. Seeing him walking away again, she couldn't help but raise her feet to keep up. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, what if Daddy really did it? ? However, this idea was quickly denied by her, she shook her head, and immediately trotted towards him.
When the two entered the main tent, someone was already waiting there.
Huo Ling and Tu Ling saluted the two of them, and then without Xiao Xu's orders, Tu Ling began to report.
"So far, the Nancang Army has won five towns, Junlan Kingdom has won three, and Loulan Kingdom has won three, and the number is still rising, affecting nearly 20 cities, and now Li Weiyuan has taken 20 of them. Wanbing split into two to stop Nancang and Junlan, while the fourth prince led his troops to Loulan, but they still couldn't keep up with their speed of capturing the city."
Xiao Xu frowned. He didn't expect the speed of the three countries to be so fast. Are they too weak, or is the other party too strong
At this moment, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "There are the fewest people from the Loulan Kingdom, why did they win as many cities as the Junlan Kingdom? I remember that the defenders in those places were not weak, how could they be broken three times in a row so quickly? city?"
This question was what Xiao Xu was puzzled about, and Huo Ling, who was beside him, immediately wailed and said, "You two masters, you don't know, according to our brothers, those people from Loulan are not good people, they carry poison with them and put them away. It's terrifying to come out and let people retreat without a fight."
poison
Chu Qingyan thought of the scorpions, centipedes, and cobras all over the floor, and felt itchy all over.
Although what she imagined was different from those poisons in Loulan, at least the poisons were similar.
"What is the origin of this Loulan country?" Chu Qingyan couldn't help rubbing his arms.
Huo Ling shook his head, his face a little ugly, "Although I don't know much about it, but dating back a hundred years ago, our wife, the Emperor, once sent troops to include Loulan in the territory, but in the middle of the way, 100,000 troops went and did not return. There are no bones left, very strange, the madam has sent people to investigate for many years, but there is no result, it is as if 100,000 people have evaporated from the world, and no one has ever seen them again."
"Are all those people being..." eaten by poison as food? Chu Qingyan's face paled, which was not something that could be described as terrifying.
Xiao Xu's face sank, "Huo Ling, let Shui Ling check the details of Loulan Kingdom."
Huo Ling did not delay, and immediately left the account.
"What news is there in Kyoto?" Xiao Xu asked.
"Some time ago, the third prince used some means to let the Liang Fu family's dog bite the dog, biting out a mouthful of hair, His Majesty was furious, and he arrested many ministers and imprisoned. Now that the Three Kingdoms are attacking, there are not many people in the court available. This move of the third prince has given His Majesty a headache. Someone has already asked you to go back, but His Majesty is holding an air and saying that he is thinking about it. In fact, his heart has long wanted you to go back, but he is embarrassed to speak. Now he is in When the time is ripe, he will certainly let go."
Xiao Xu nodded, as he guessed.
"Oh yes, master, this is a letter sent by the third prince, and there is a jade pendant in it." Tu Ling immediately took out these two things from his arms and handed them over.
Xiao Xu first took the jade pendant in his hand. He played with it and found that there was a thick letter written on it, and his eyes were puzzled. It should be something that the third brother carried with him or had some special meaning. What are you just giving him this for? Xiao Xu opened the letter with doubts.
After looking down at the information quickly, Xiao Xu's frowning brows suddenly relaxed. This change made Chu Qingyan happy, "What did the third prince write in the letter to make you so happy?"
Xiao Xu stretched out his hand in front of her, only to see that the jade pendant fell from his fingertips, and the red thread was wrapped around his ring finger by him. Through the firelight, she carefully observed, but could not find anything.
I just listened to the humanity in front of me, "I was worried about the soldiers and horses, and the third brother sent a solution, a hundred thousand troops."
