Wei Lin was in a good mood, so he strolled left and right in the mansion, and walked around again, with Qingsha still beside him. If it was time to change his routine, Wei Lin had already sent him out, but today he was in a good mood. Not only did he not let him go, he even chatted with Qingsha word by word.
"I said you follow me all day long, are you bored?"
"It's not boring, it's not boring, it's the villain's duty to serve the second young master."
"No, I mean, people have to have their own ideals and ambitions, you know?"
"My ideal is to serve the second young master comfortably."
"...Look at me, I have great ambitions." Wei Lin pretended to be serious and said, "My ambition is to become an excellent soldier and serve the country."
"The second young master is really powerful, but the second young master..."
"Um?"
"It's already this time, the second young master doesn't go to bathe and change clothes, why are you shaking outside?" Seeing Wei Lin talking more, Qingsha didn't consciously relax, and he didn't pay much attention to his words.
Wei Lin thought for a while: "I'm waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?"
"Wait for Wei Da... my father." Wei Lin almost made a mistake and turned back.
"But isn't the second young master the least fond of talking to the general?" Qingsha questioned.
"Ah, no, you are talking nonsense."
After Wei Lin took Qingsha around the mansion for the twelfth lap, Wei Yuanting came back.
Far away, Wei Lin heard movement at the gate and hurriedly walked towards the gate. Wei Tianqi was still paralyzed in bed and couldn't get off the ground. If anyone came from the gate, it would definitely be Wei Yuanting.
Qingsha had never seen Wei Lin go so excitedly to welcome the general back to his home, and he was stunned for a while.
I saw Wei Lin greeted him, raised his smiling face, and called out sweetly, "Father—"
Wei Yuanting had just returned from the outside, and his face had no expression. Hearing such a call, he raised his head and saw Wei Lin standing in front of him, his flattering face made him uncomfortable for a while, so he could only cough dryly: "I I haven't asked you to settle the account yet, what are you doing in the Zuo Xiang's mansion?"
Obviously it was accountability, but Wei Lin's sweet "father" made Wei Yuanting not angry at all. What is the best thing about Wei Lin in Wei Yuanting's eyes? Those are the big eyes like Fu Yang. At this moment, those eyes were looking at him expectantly, and Wei Yuanting felt a little uncomfortable.
Wei Lin walked to Wei Yuanting's side and followed Wei Yuanting all the way to the front hall.
Qingsha looked like they had something to talk about, so they turned around to make tea.
"That's really a misunderstanding. I just went up to the room to look at the stars and accidentally fell off." Wei Lin began to nonsense.
Wei Yuanting looked at him with a sincere expression - ten percent of what he said was nonsense, but Wei Lin didn't change his face, as if it was true, and continued: "It's not a coincidence, it just happens to be on the wall of Zuo Xiangfu."
"You haven't caused any major trouble, I don't care about you." Wei Yuanting said, "It's okay if you know something about the first prince."
"Dad tell me?"
"Why do you have a 'father' today?"
"Because I am starting today, I have to change my mind and start anew." Wei Lin said righteously.
Hearing this, Wei Yuanting looked at Wei Lin's face suspiciously, always feeling that there was a fraud here, but he didn't know what Wei Lin was thinking, so he casually said: "There is a battle report from the border, Xisu has already started the war, tomorrow The eldest prince will ask the emperor to go to the border to join the war."
"why?"
"As a man of the royal family, it is natural to contribute to the society of the country." Wei Yuanting didn't tell him clearly, but just casually said a high-sounding word.
But Wei Lin doesn't care about this. He has already heard the doorway outside the study. At this moment, he just wants to take the opportunity to say: "Well, does the eldest prince want someone to protect him?"
"Well, I should go with the eldest prince."
"That… "
"how?"
"I also want to go with Dad to see Dad's style on the battlefield." Wei Lin said.
After the two of them said these words, they were already sitting in the front hall. Qingsha happened to bring the tea in, but Wei Yuanting didn't say any more. Tea, casually said: "It turned out to be for this purpose."
"… "
As soon as Wei Lin stated his purpose, Wei Yuanting casually thought about it deeply. From the moment he entered the door, the reason for Wei Lin's abnormality was obvious.
"What I'm saying is all sincerity..." "So you want to be Xue Changfeng's son?" Wei Yuanting interrupted him and said coldly.
"How is that possible?" Wei Lin didn't expect him to say that, and subconsciously retorted, "It has nothing to do with the Xue family."
But Wei Yuanting was not satisfied. He remembered that at the end of the drinking and chatting that day, Fu Yang and Xue Changfeng left together. The backs were completely a pair of beautiful people, but he really couldn't convince himself to admit defeat.
"Anyway, the matter of going to the border..." Wei Yuan
Ting said, put the teacup on the table, turned to look at Wei Lin's expectant face, and said, "No way."
"Why, hey, I'll ask you why." Wei Yuanting refused so directly, and Wei Lin's heart suddenly burst into flames.
At any rate, he has been with Wei Yuanting for some time. Although it is impossible to say how respectful he is to Wei Yuanting, and he has not caused him any trouble, Wei Lin believes that he has done enough.
Maybe it was the longing of not seeing Jiang Ye for a long time, or maybe it was the impatience that the day of goodbye was so far away, Wei Lin couldn't hold back and questioned Wei Yuanting: "Are you so interesting? You're happy to eat, drink and gamble like Wei Tianqi's trash? Why can't you let me do what I want to do?"
"What you want to do is to sacrifice your life for your own father's enemy?"
"Then my mother is still chatting and laughing with your enemy, why don't you think about your own problems?" Wei Lin was not forgiving at first, but when he thought of what to say, if he didn't pay attention, these words went straight to Wei Yuanting's heart. Bad scars were poked up.
Wei Yuanting was very angry, but he didn't want to hit Wei Lin again. Seeing Wei Lin's firm expression, he was so angry that he swept the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground with a big wave. After the broken voice sounded, Wei Yuanting calmed down instead, got up and was about to leave: "No way, what you say is useless."
"Father!" Wei Lin didn't even think about it, he knelt down behind him and grabbed the corner of Wei Yuanting's clothes, "I beg you, please let me go..."
Wei Lin didn't care about the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground. Pressing his knee on it hurt badly, but as if he didn't feel it, he continued to face Wei Yuanting's back and said, "Don't press your head if you don't drink water."
Wei Yuanting turned his head slightly, glanced sideways at Wei Lin on the ground and said, "The cow will die if it doesn't drink water."
…
the next day.
The civil and military officials all stood in front of the hall, and they all seemed to have nothing to say.
The emperor glanced at them, and he almost knew what they wanted to say but dared not say. Since the year before last, the rumors of the establishment of the heir had been lingering in his ears. The emperor himself had not thought of which son to appoint as the heir, and the rumors had told him that the princes who were the most vocal had listened to him. Somewhat ironic.
The third child's injuries have not healed, and the whereabouts of the emperor's most beloved youngest son, Lao Jiu, are still unknown, and there are only three princes from the queen standing in the hall. The emperor connected with them, glanced again, and said: "If there is something to play, if there is nothing to retreat to the court."
The eldest prince said: "My son has something to announce."
"Precise play."
"Xi Sui has disturbed the peace of the border of our Xuan country year after year, and recently it has been even more flamboyant, and there is a tendency to invade. My son has requested an order to guard the border, and will drive the thieves out of the border!"
As soon as these words came out, the chatter in the courtroom rang out. Xue Changfeng first glanced at the eldest prince, and then at Wei Yuanting who was standing beside him, the purpose of which was clear at a glance.
But Xue Changfeng thought a little further—if the eldest prince wanted to take this opportunity to grab the credit of the Northern Army, and to take the military power of the Xue family in a row, then this wishful thinking was too good.
Before the emperor could speak, Xue Changfeng stepped out and bowed his hands and said, "The first prince's heart for the country is heartwarming. It's just that the battlefield is ruthless, and the safety of the royal bloodline must be the most important thing."
The emperor still didn't speak, Wei Yuanting came out and said: "General Xue means that the northern army is so strong that it can't join hands with the first prince to retreat from the enemy, but worry about the prince's safety?"
"General Wei's words are wrong. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents."
The eldest prince said: "Since I ask for the order to go to the front line, even if I die for the country, I will not hesitate."
The disagreement between the two parties between Xue and Wei was not a matter of the past two days. The emperor is already commonplace. Yuanzhi looked at the emperor's face, and there was nothing wrong. I am afraid that the first prince will go out to the army. Said: "The eldest prince is dedicated to the country, and it is indeed a blessing for the country. However, what General Xue said is not unreasonable. Needless to say on the battlefield, if someone plots against him along the way... it is too dangerous."
Yuanzhi's words really touched Wei Yuanting's heart, and he waited for someone to mention this, so he pushed the boat and said, "Then I will petition to accompany the eldest prince."
The words have already been said, and the emperor has not spoken, so Shang Xu agrees leisurely: "Since General Wei is there to accompany you, there must be no problem... The eldest prince has a deep patriotic heart, and he Please, the emperor, give the eldest prince this chance."
The emperor then slowly said: "Since Shang'er is so courageous, I will agree."
The eldest prince was overjoyed when he heard the words, and was about to thank him, but the emperor opened his mouth and said: "It's just that General Xue has always been guarding the north, and it seems inconvenient to have General Wei accompany him now. go."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuanting and the eldest prince had a momentary look of astonishment on their faces, and they were completely seen by the emperor.
"My son, thank the father and the emperor for fulfillment."
"The command of the last general."
The second prince, Cen Lijiang, also did not say a word behind him, watching the people in the courtroom intrigue, just like watching a play, he quietly raised his mouth and smiled.
The seventh prince, Cen Lizhong, was not in the court room at all, and was looking down at the pattern on his sleeve in a daze.
The emperor sighed, and it seemed that Lao Jiu was the cutest, but the life and death of Lao Jiu were uncertain. Thinking of this, the emperor was a little sad, and remembered that the third brother, the third brother, was still in bed, and wanted to see him, so he said: "Let's retreat."
"Retreat-toward-"
"I'm waiting to retire."
