After dinner, Yan Gui accompanied Wei Yang for a walk to the greenhouse.
There was a bookshelf in the corner of the flower room, and now Wei Yang had specially prepared a desk in front of the bookshelf. The desk was low, with a large tiger skin on the ground, and an embroidered cushion on the tiger skin.
The tiger skin was given by Yan Guifang. He was afraid that Weiyang would feel cold if she sat for too long, so he took out the tiger skin and spread it underneath.
Sitting cross-legged, the height is just right. When she gets tired of reading, she can lie down on the tiger skin to bask in the sun and take a nap.
Seeing that she wanted to read, Youlan hurriedly lit two more lamps on both sides of the desk. Yan Gui sat in front of the square chess table, carefully studying a miniature sand table.
The sand table is full of gullies and wasteland walls, which is a miniature of the Xiongzhou City within a radius of 100 miles.
It was quiet all around, and outside the greenhouse, the night was getting dark.
Yan Gui raised his head from the sand table, and at this moment his finger was pointing at the main wall of Xiongzhou City. Xiongzhou City, that was the place he wanted to conquer.
Only by conquering Xiongzhou City can he prove himself that he is the only general who can take back the city and expand the territory for this country.
Only then will he have enough time to plan everything for the little girl in front of him, her future, her family.
At this moment, his little girl was sitting cross-legged in the soft light, holding a book in her hands. She seemed to have read the most important part, her lips slightly parted, and there were two clusters of dancing lights in her dark eyes.
He looks serious and very good-looking.
Yan Gui looked at it for a moment, his chest filled with tenderness. He couldn't help but chuckle, then retracted his gaze and carefully studied the mountains and ditches near Yanzhou City.
Xiongzhou City was occupied a hundred years ago and has not been recovered to this day.
The Yan family, starting from Yan Gui's great-grandfather to Yan Gui, successively took back Tuocheng, Mocheng, and Yancheng, and now only Xiongzhoucheng is left.
Zhao Xu is indeed a good child, patient and forbearing. Although he is only twelve or thirteen years old, he has been well trained. Emperor Rong Jing destroyed the Su family and abandoned the prince he had carefully trained for more than ten years. I am afraid that this is the biggest mistake he has made in his life.
"I'll give you three years." Yan Gui said this to Zhao Xu when he took Wei Yang away from Tuo City.
For three years, I protected you and kept you safe and worry-free, and you grew up for me.
If you are worthy of Yan Gui betraying the current emperor for you, Yan Gui will betray you once. If you cannot restore the Su family and let the surviving children of the Su family get the glory of the past, I, Yan Gui, can also betray you once.
Yan Gui thought of this and moved his hand. A flag that was planted above Xiongzhou City fell into his hand. The flagpole broke into pieces and the flag shattered.
Weiyang was awakened by the sound of the flagpole breaking and looked over with confused eyes.
"It's getting late, we should go back to bed." Yan Gui said, and stood up to leave the greenhouse.
Wei Yang still sat there motionless, looking a little dazed.
Yan Gui took two steps and saw that she didn't follow him, so he walked up to her and lowered his head. His shallow breath hit the little girl's bun: "Do you want me to carry you back?"
The tone was inexplicably doting.
Wei Yang blushed. No matter how bold she was, she was not as thick-skinned as Yan Gui. She stood up and said softly, "I have my own legs."
Walking past the table with the sand table, her eyes passed over the broken flag.
She didn't understand war, nor did she need to understand it. It was enough to have him by her side. He could protect her for the rest of her life. This was what Aunt Qian said. Aunt Qian's words were the words of her elder sister, and she believed what her elder sister said.
