Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went directly to Tianyin Fort.
While on the road, I also received some messages from Fang Shoujiang.
Fang Shoujiang was the leader of those troops this time.
The message sent by the other party is naturally the follow-up of this operation, but Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou don't want to take over the follow-up here, they are already planning to go back, so the message from Fang Shoujiang they are just Take a look, but the decision-making has been handed over to the other party.
They still believed in Fang Shoujiang's ability.
When they arrived at Tianyin Fort, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went in without any hindrance.
Now the identity of Empress Shi Qingzhou has been exposed here, but Long Xiaoyuan has not, but those who have been in and out of Shi Qingzhou intimately... anyone with a brain can guess.
And those who guess wrong... They also know what to say and what not to say.
Even if the queen "derailed" outside, is that easy to say? Don't be afraid to lose your head!
Long Xiaoyuan still didn't know how he was being looked at. He went in with Shi Qingzhou, but he really felt that there were so many people... He quickly buried his head, as if he didn't see anything!
Regarding this, Long Xiaoyuan only regarded them as being in awe of Shi Qingzhou.
Waiting for Xu You to come over in the main hall, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou drank the tea brought by the housekeeper.
Long Xiaoyuan said: "Light boat."
"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.
"The little guy is almost one year old." Long Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and nodded. "Well, but it's still early? There are still more than three months."
"I don't know if he can walk this time when we go back."
"It's less than ten months, definitely not yet." Shi Qingzhou said. "At the earliest, it will take ten months."
"Is that so..." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "I really miss him a little bit. Can Qingzhou miss him?"
Shi Qingzhou paused and nodded. "Um."
Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes. I have some thoughts about Shi Qingzhou's meal just now. "Qingzhou, I suddenly realized that we still spend too little time with our children."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan with some doubts.
Long Xiaoyuan said softly: "In the blink of an eye, the child is almost ten months old, but we don't really spend much time with the child."
Shi Qingzhou paused, and said: "Well, I went to the border for a few months, and he still recognizes me when I come back, which is already very good."
"This time we come out and add it back, it will be another month." Long Xiaoyuan said.
Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly and looked at Long Xiaoyuan. "Well, what do you want then?"
Only then did Long Xiaoyuan express his purpose.
"When we go back this time, if there is nothing wrong with the government, let's take the children out for a walk, maybe we can live in the folk for a while."
Shi Qingzhou was taken aback.
Long Xiaoyuan said softly. "My idea, Qingzhou, think about it carefully. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can bring us a good experience."
Shi Qingzhou didn't answer immediately, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Long Xiaoyuan didn't expect to have such a clear answer here, so he nodded directly. "Okay, let's talk about it when we go back."
As soon as he finished speaking here, Xu You's voice sounded from outside.
"Ah, brother, are you going back?"
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked over together.
Xu You walked in and called for someone. "Brother, Brother Shi, you are here."
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou nodded together, and Long Xiaoyuan stood up. "Well, I'm going back, and I'll see you before I leave."
When Xu You heard that Long Xiaoyuan said that he really wanted to go back, he felt a little disappointed, but then he thought that the other party was the emperor, how could he stay outside forever, it was impossible to think about it.
Although a little disappointed, Xu You still hurriedly said: "Brother, then you have a good journey."
Long Xiaoyuan smiled slightly, and was about to explain why he came this time when Fang Shuoyang came over.
Fang Shuoyang saw that Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou would not be as casual as Xu You.
"Caomin Fang Shuoyang, kowtow to the emperor and queen. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently: "Get up. Fang Shaoxia is welcome."
Fang Shuoyang stood up. After his leg was treated, he can walk without any problem, but he can't stand for a long time. Because it's not quite right.
Long Xiaoyuan gave him a seat, and after Fang Shuoyang sat down, Long Xiaoyuan simply said a few words to the other party and dismissed him.
After Fang Shuoyang left, Xu You looked a little weird and said, "Brother, do you...don't like Shuoyang?"
Long Xiaoyuan cast a sidelong glance at Xu You. "Huh? Why do you say that?"
Xu Youna said: "Intuition..."
"He is your man, whether I like it or not is not the point." Long Xiaoyuan said.
Xu You: "..." Although this is true, why does he feel that there is something weird about it
Shi Qingzhou glanced at Long Xiaoyuan and smiled slightly. "Don't make trouble with Xu You."
Xu You hurriedly looked at Shi Qingzhou when he heard the words. "Brother Shi, what's going on?"
Shi Qingzhou said: "It's true that we came here for something, but it has nothing to do with us, it has something to do with you."
"Huh? It's related to me?" Xu You was stunned when he heard this.
Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Do you know what Mr. Zhou said before he died?"
Xu You was taken aback again when he heard this. "Master Zhou?"
"It seems that you don't know anything..." Shi Qingzhou didn't care whether there were people from Tianyin Castle outside the door, and directly said the request of old man Zhou before he died.
Xu You was stunned.
After Fang Shuoyang was dismissed, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, and his heart beat two minutes faster.
So, he sent two people to guard outside, wanting to know what Long Xiaoyuan and the others were doing.
Fang Shuoyang thought, he sent people openly, if the people inside said something secret, they would naturally come out and send people, if they don't care, then...
Sure enough, Long Xiaoyuan didn't care, so Fang Shuoyang also received the news soon. In fact, his people didn't go far at all, they were just next door.
Fang Shuoyang raised his heart violently, and couldn't control much, so he hurried to the next door.
At this time, Xu You was still in a daze.
Shi Qingzhou looked at Xu You, sighed, and was about to say something when Fang Shuoyang had already come in.
No one stopped him outside the door, so he came in smoothly.
"Your Majesty, I will not agree to Grandpa's request."
Although Fang Shuoyang seemed to be speaking to Long Xiaoyuan, his eyes were fixed on Xu You.
Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows, Xu You pursed his lips, but looked away.
Fang Shuoyang was in a hurry, and he didn't care about being rude. He stepped forward and grabbed Xu You's hand. "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would think too much. I won't agree to this condition."
Xu You turned his head when he heard the words, and looked at Fang Shuoyang fixedly.
"Fang Shuoyang, I believe in your determination not to agree now, but I can't believe you... you won't regret it in the future."
Fang Shuoyang was taken aback.
Xu You shook off the opponent's hand. "Is it just that you don't agree? Then do you have a countermeasure?"
Fang Shuoyang was speechless.
"That means you haven't figured it out yet," Xu You said.
Fang Shuoyang was in a hurry. "It happened so suddenly that I haven't figured out how to deal with it. This is what happened last night. I admit that I haven't figured out what to do, but I won't agree to this ridiculous request."
Xu You pursed his lips. "Yeah?"
Fang Shuoyang grabbed Xu You's evasive hand again, "You don't believe me?"
Xu You lowered his head and said softly: "My mind is a little confused... I think we all need to think it through. Fang Shuoyang, now the burden of Tianyin Castle and the Zhou family are all on your shoulders... You... also think about it carefully Come on, don't make decisions on impulse."
Fang Shuoyang's complexion changed, and he raised his voice slightly. "Xu You! You said you would believe me if anything happened."
Xu You paled slightly, but said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe in myself."
Fang Shuoyang was taken aback.
Xu You murmured: "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will make you that sinner. You can also think that I am selfish. I don't want to bear such guilt. I don't want...to bear such responsibility."
Fang Shuoyang's expression changed again, and he slowly let go of Xu You's hand.
Xu You stared blankly at the let go hand, Fang Shuoyang pursed his lips, and left without saying a word.
Xu You lowered his head and didn't look at Fang Shuoyang's leaving back. It happened so suddenly that he didn't even know what he had done. He just wanted to escape instinctively.
Like he said, he doesn't want to take responsibility.
Long Xiaoyuan sighed, looked at Xu You's bewildered look, and finally said slowly: "Xu You...you are not a child anymore."
Xu You raised his head, aggrieved, and looked at Long Xiaoyuan blankly.
Long Xiaoyuan walked up to the other party and rubbed the other party's head.
"Actually, separation is not the only solution. At least, even if we separate, we can leave better."
Xu You had tears in his eyes. "Brother, did I mess things up again? I'm... very bad at talking, aren't I?"
"No." Long Xiaoyuan understood the other party best. In fact, it was because of the two completely different living environments of ancient people and modern people. Xu You was just a child before, why not a child
The 18-year-old here is already the father of the child. In poorer families, the 18-year-old is already the head of the family. However, the modern 18-year-old, the child who has just entered college, is just a child. That's all.
What's more, Xu You has been here for six years, but he has been well protected.
Such a temperament... is actually too soft.
Soft to the point of escaping when things go wrong...
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan rubbed the opponent's head and said, "You should learn to use better solutions to deal with problems."
Xu You looked at Long Xiaoyuan, asking for help.
Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "There is always a way to live. If the Zhou family wants an heir, it doesn't have to be Fang Shuoyang."
Xu Youna said, "But that old man of the Zhou family has only one pair of children, Zhou Hengliang and Zhou Huan."
Zhou Hengliang rebelled, leaving only Zhou Huan.
Long Xiaoyuan sighed again, not knowing whether to say Xu Youshicheng or something else. "Actually, Mr. Zhou himself has brothers. What he wants is to inherit the incense of the Zhou family. Should he choose from his niece or from his own family? What's more, even if Fang Shuoyang wants to leave an heir, the court will not agree. "
Xu You was taken aback. "What?"
Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently: "The origin and ancestors of Tianyin Castle are a mystery, and now someone is in charge of the investigation. I don't want to pursue the past, but if the people of the Fang family are not from my Celestial Dynasty, then how can I allow them to leave offspring? Heir?"
Xu You didn't know what to say at all, because he was stunned.
In fact, Long Xiaoyuan's words were not meant for Xu You at all, but for people outside.
He knew that the outsiders were Fang Shuoyang's confidantes.
And Fang Shuoyang's confidants knew, in fact, both Zhou Huan and Fang Shuoyang knew.
Long Xiaoyuan looked at the dazed Xu You, and sighed again.
"Brother came to tell you the news about Mr. Zhou. In fact, it was just to test Fang Shuoyang. He wanted to see how much the other party cared about you. However, the result of this test was a bit disappointing. Fang Shuoyang was right. What happened last night, He has no countermeasures yet, which is normal. But, Xu You, you are still too... childish. Brother wanted to take you away for a while, so that Fang Shuoyang could make a real decision under quiet and deliberation. But now, brother I think... you should stay."
"...What..." Xu You's eyes were fluttering, he blushed a little bit at Long Xiaoyuan's words, he was a little ashamed, nah nah, he didn't know what to say.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't explain any more, he just said: "Brother Shi and Brother Shi are leaving now, you stay."
Xu You was a little flustered. "Brother..."
Shi Qingzhou came over and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, your elder brother doesn't want you, but staying here is the most suitable for you. You will understand later, don't be willful."
Xu You: "..."
Long Xiaoyuan said again: "Give me the Golden Dragon Token."
Xu You blinked and took out the gold medal from his pocket.
Long Xiaoyuan put away the token, and then took out a jade pendant from his body and gave it to the other party. "You don't fit the token on your body anymore. This jade pendant is for your self-defense, but you have to protect it and don't lose it. If you have any difficulties and need help from the government, you can take this jade pendant over there. Brother Yingwei will also leave it for you." The next person, if there is any difficulty, ask the shadow guard to send a letter to the eldest brother."
Xu You's eyes were red. "Brother..."
"Okay, don't make people laugh, you are the younger brother recognized by the elder brother, this will never change in this life, understand?"
"Hmm!" Xu You nodded heavily.
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't stay in Tianyin Castle any longer, and left directly.
Xu You watched the two leave with great reluctance, her eyes still red.
Fang Shuoyang let out a long sigh of relief after knowing that Xu You did not go with him...
At this time, Zhou Huan also received the news. When she heard Long Xiaoyuan's words relayed by her servant, she was a little dazed. After a long time, she smiled again, but the smile was very bitter.
"Yeah... If the Fang family has a purpose from the generation of their ancestors to my court, then... the Tianyin Fort is still there, it is already an extrajudicial favor from the emperor. How could it be possible for Shuoyang to leave blood... Shuoyang likes it It’s a man, so it seems to be a good thing at this time... Forget it, what’s the matter if Shuoyang is fulfilled? As for father and mother... The emperor is right, the Zhou family can’t only inherit from Shuoyang. On the contrary , if Shuoyang's body is bleeding from other countries' blood... Inheriting the Zhou family will only bring disaster to the Zhou family... "
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Huan has always been decisive, and he has already made a decision.
After Xu You stood there blankly for a while, when he felt his body was a little stiff, suddenly there was another person beside him.
Xu You froze for a moment, turned his head and looked to the side, and it was Fang Shuoyang's face that caught his eyes.
"Fang Shuoyang..." Xu You shouted the other party's name in a loud voice.
Fang Shuoyang sighed. "Sorry, I just... had a bad attitude."
Xu You shook his head slowly. "No... Brother is right, I... too childish."
Fang Shuoyang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and rubbed Xu You's head with a smile.
Xu You was a little embarrassed, but still a little uneasy. "But... your mother's side..."
"I won't have any children." Fang Shuoyang said firmly. "My feelings don't allow it, the royal family doesn't allow it. Mother will understand."
Xu You didn't know what to say.
Fang Shuoyang took Xu You's hand. "Follow me into the room."
"Huh? What to do?" Xu You was puzzled.
Fang Shuoyang smiled slightly. "It's time for the needle, don't you want to watch?"
Xu You blinked and nodded. "… oh."
Fang Shuoyang couldn't help laughing at Xu You's blank look.
Xu You blushed fiercely. "What are you laughing at!"
"No, I didn't laugh." Fang Shuoyang hurriedly begged for mercy.
Xu You got angry, snorted, shook off Fang Shuoyang's hand and left directly, Fang Shuoyang had to chase after seeing this. "Don't be angry, I really didn't laugh!"
Xu You believed that the other party was a ghost!
And Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went back to the inn after leaving Tianyin Castle, and then embarked on the journey back.
However, Long Xiaoyuan felt that the journey would not be peaceful.
"If you want to assassinate me, this journey is probably the last chance." Long Xiaoyuan said.
Shi Qingzhou paused and nodded. "Um."
"Don't tell me, I'm really looking forward to it." Long Xiaoyuan said.
Shi Qingzhou was speechless. "You expect to be assassinated?"
"No, I was expecting their methods." Long Xiaoyuan said righteously.
Shi Qingzhou pouted. "On the way back, my identity has been exposed, and I need someone to escort me."
"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan was puzzled at first, and then understood immediately. "Qingzhou means... the army?"
"Well, Master Fang has sent a team of two thousand people over." Shi Qingzhou said.
Long Xiaoyuan: "..." Why didn't he know
Shi Qingzhou smiled. "This is what I arranged when I went out early this morning, or do you think I just went to Tianyin Castle
The corner of Long Xiaoyuan's mouth twitched, why did he think that he, the emperor, didn't know as much as his queen
Really... Alas!
