Huangfu Yongxian was sitting opposite, his expression still somewhat serious and respectful, as if he was in a meeting.
Zhao Changhe felt that he was not as comfortable as Cui Wenjing's attitude of always raising his hand to slap people. Maybe he was just being a masochist.
But Huangfu Yongxian said, "Your Highness... Well, Master Zhao has always been unwilling to acknowledge me. Is there any special reason? Or is it because he hates and abandons me?"
That was late...
The reason why Zhao Changhe was unwilling to admit it was even simpler. First, he didn't want to recognize someone else as his father, and second, he didn't want to be involved in the court. It was so infuriating just thinking about it.
Ever since I felt that I had a different path from Xia Longyuan, I became even more reluctant. It was okay to call him dad because of my father-in-law, but forget about the rest.
But it was not easy to say this to Huangfu Yong first. Zhao Changhe thought for a long time and changed his words: "I have made it since I came out of the martial arts world. I fought hard with swords and arrows. Maybe I have borrowed some benefits from relationships, but I also took risks that are comparable to mine. I can say that I rely on myself. Even if the nickname of Bloodthirsty Shura is not pleasant, I am happy with it, because no matter how unpleasant it is, I earned it myself. It has nothing to do with others, unlike His Royal Highness, who is actually calling Xia Longyuan behind him, not me, Zhao Changhe."
There was some surprise in Huangfu Yongxian's eyes. He didn't expect to get such an answer.
He pondered for a long time and tried to ask: "Why did the young master risk his life and fight behind enemy lines to rescue Yanmen?"
Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Whatever the general does, I do too."
Huangfu Yongxian's eyes were filled with more and more surprise, yet more and more delight.
But he still asked: "The world is in turmoil now. Young Master has status and ability, but he continues to hang around in the underworld. Isn't that a waste of what he has done?"
"Because it's useless." Zhao Changhe said, "You don't understand Xia Longyuan at all. Thinking of a bunch of things is ridiculous in the eyes of others. Besides, he won't die, at least not in the short term, and he doesn't need a crown prince. Just do your own thing and don't think too much, ah."
Huangfu Yongxian was silent.
Zhao Changhe wanted to tell him about Huangfu Qing, but he didn't know how to say it. Could it be that everyone knew that your daughter's concubine was just a title, could she be dealt with, such as replacing someone else, or becoming a nun and running away? I guarantee that Xia Longyuan would not care...
The implication was so obvious that it would be strange if Huangfu Yongxian didn't go crazy on the spot.
Besides, Huangfu Qing herself thinks it is very meaningful, so what’s the point of telling this to her father
Zhao Changhe didn't dare to think that Huangfu Qing was Zhuque, and Ying Wu and the others only dared to guess whether it was possible. A very serious problem was that Zhuque's practice was stronger than Huangfu Yongxian, and he was ranked higher and more powerful. As a result, most people would not guess in this direction. The mainstream idea was to guess whether the traitor Zhuque would assassinate Huangfu Yongxian...
Ying Wu and the others had tried countless possibilities but failed to find out who Zhuque was, so they couldn't help but guess who it was, Huangfu Qing, who was as famous as Tang Wanzhuang in the past. However, without any evidence, they could only make a verbal joke.
In fact, Huangfu Yongxian really had no control over what Huangfu Qing wanted to do. Not only was the cotton-padded jacket leaking, it was also leaking onto his father's head.
Huangfu Yong was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say... Before he came to "visit the patient", he expected that Zhao Changhe would play the whole set of "courting the wise and humble", pat his chest and talk about a lot of national undertakings, and finally he would implicitly express that I think highly of you and am willing to be loyal to you, so both the host and the guest were happy, the prince secretly took over the Northern Army, and the Northern Army also had a stable political support.
How come it turned out like this? Zhao Changhe has been passing on the gaffe, while I have been persuading you to take over.
Do you fucking want the Northern Frontier Legion
But Zhao Changhe was right. As long as Xia Longyuan is alive, whatever you think is ridiculous.
Huangfu Yongxian seemed to have aged ten years, leaning back in his chair with a haggard look. After a while, he said, "Your Highness... Master Zhao, you know that it is meaningless to think about it. In the current situation, if you travel the world, it will be more dangerous than before, even more dangerous than when you first left Beimang. The Wang family will definitely kill you at all costs. Not only them, but you know that there are wars everywhere in the world, and more and more people are raising their own troops? They will all kill you. If you go to the world, you will face thorns at every step."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Come on, I'm worried that there won't be enough enemies to fight against. Including Listening Snow Tower, don't be scared."
Huangfu Yongxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head before talking about some normal topics: "Batu's surrender will definitely be established, unless Your Majesty deliberately forbids it..."
He paused here, as if he was not sure whether Xia Longyuan would get angry, and continued: "By then, the entire southern desert will be occupied by Batu, and it will become a barrier north of Yanmen. He has now broken with the Temple and must rely on our support. In the short term, the relationship between the two sides will be very harmonious... In fact, I think that, apart from anything else, as long as the young master is still in the Central Plains, Batu will not dare to have any other thoughts..."
Zhao Changhe said: "Not really. Don't think this guy looks stupid, he's actually a bitch."
Huangfu Yongxian shook his head and said, "When I met Batu before, he just wanted to know if you were there. When he found out you were not there, he instantly became three times more powerful and spoke a little louder. It's obvious that Batu is afraid of you and can't even hide it... Young Master may really not understand the status of his story in the hearts of both parties. It's absolutely not an exaggeration to say that he has shocked the northern frontier."
Zhao Changhe said: "So the reason why the general came to talk to me about this is..."
"Huangshaji is still an extremely important trading center. It is very important. What we mean now is that we must intervene and cannot just let Batu take care of it. Otherwise, where is the benefit of this war? We should send troops to station horses, at least both sides should station troops separately. But stationing troops in their core areas is a bit sensitive. You may need to negotiate with Batu in person, otherwise it may not be easy to talk about it."
"No need." Zhao Changhe said, "I will recommend someone to be the political leader of Huangshaji and that will be all." "Who?"
"Let Yuan Sanniang be the leader of Huangshaji. Both of you can send troops and horses, and Sanniang will coordinate and check and balance. They are going to be stationed nearby to develop the secret realm anyway, and Ying Wu will be very satisfied with this arrangement. Moreover, Sanniang is very greedy for money, and this kind of convenience will make her happy. Even if she doesn't want to stay later, she can just find a spokesperson. Anyway, with Ying Wu behind him, how can Batu not be convinced?"
Huangfu Yongxian was surprised and asked, "Let the people of Jianghu take care of it... Can you trust Yuan Sanniang?"
From Daxia's perspective, she is not trustworthy. She is a die-hard traitor, just like your daughter.
But of course you can trust him from a private standpoint, just like you can trust your daughter.
Zhao Changhe didn't say that, he just said: "Just listen to me, it will definitely be right."
Huangfu Yongxian said: "If Batu regards Sanniang as the young master's spokesperson, then maybe there is really no problem."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Huangfu Yongxian smiled and said, "Okay, since it is your arrangement, I will obey your orders."
Zhao Changhe: "... Come on, old general, you've been working non-stop, aren't you tired? Go and have a rest, I want to rest too."
Huangfu Yongxian leaned back in his chair with some fatigue, and whispered to himself in an inaudible voice: "I have finished the king's affairs..."
Poor white hair.
Zhao Changhe stared at his white hair in a trance, speechless for a long time.
The conversation between the two ended here. Zhao Changhe finally couldn't talk to others about his daughter, and Huangfu Yongxian finally couldn't say that the legion was loyal to the prince.
All that needs to be said has been said.
"Young master, have a good rest." Huangfu Yong said goodbye and left. Not long after, a red shadow flashed by, and Yue Hongling quietly entered the room and bolted the door.
Zhao Changhe hugged her tightly in his arms: "Sister, let's go to another place to heal our wounds. I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm so tired."
Yue Hongling patted his back gently and whispered like coaxing a child, "Okay, where are we going?"
"In this cold winter in the north, with heavy snow and white mountains, do you have any desire to revisit your hometown?"
Yue Hongling was stunned, thinking back to Beimang, the trap in the heavy snow, and the concubine beside Boss Zhao.
She raised her head slightly, looked at Zhao Changhe's eyes that were shining with expectation, and couldn't help but smile: "What a child."
Zhao Changhe was dissatisfied: "I am just nostalgic."
"Yeah." Yue Hongling felt soft in her heart, knowing that he was really nostalgic and so affectionate, which really made her happy.
She leaned softly against Zhao Changhe's chest and asked softly, "I didn't hear you calling me sister a while ago. You were calling Hong Ling like the head of the family. Why are you calling me sister again today..."
Zhao Changhe was also a little absent-minded.
It could be because of injury and fatigue, or it could be because of the large number of customers. There are too many things for the boss to decide.
Only when I am with her do I feel that I can stop thinking about anything, because my sister is here.
Only Yue Hongling could give him this feeling. Even in the second half of the battle, she was listening to orders like a little wife... But whenever he saw her, he felt at ease for no reason.
That is the reliance rooted in the first sight in this world.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them. He just bit her ear and whispered, "I not only want to call you sister, but also want to hear you call me sister."
Yue Hongling's cheeks were red all the way to her ears, and she stepped on him viciously: "Are you itching for the boss's skin? Come on, follow me into the house!"
