Chapter 158 How come two more came when one Huo Qingchen hasn’t been sent away yet?
"have no idea."
Huo Yun'an's voice was cold.
"We can't control what they do, we can only control ourselves."
Huo Qingchen tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, "Brother, I understand."
If the two countries really go to war, he will definitely take this sword and kill more enemies!
"Qingchen."
Huo Yun'an turned to look at Huo Qingchen, "I've already spoken to my father and the marshal, and I'll send someone to escort you back to the capital."
"What?"
Huo Qingchen was shocked and looked at Huo Yunan in disbelief.
"Brother, I'm not going back! The two countries are about to go to war. If I leave now, what's the difference between that and desertion?"
"There is a difference!" Huo Yun'an's expression was serious and solemn. "You are not even nine years old yet. You are just a child. You have not joined the army and you do not hold any official position. There is nothing wrong with you leaving. Qingchen, there are only two of us brothers in the Zhenbei Marquisate. My father and I will definitely stay here, but you can go back. Mother is still in the capital, you can go back and stay with her."
"I'm not going!"
Huo Qingchen roared at the top of his lungs, but tears welled up in his eyes at this moment.
"Why should I go back just because you tell me to? Don't say those high-sounding words that are for my own good! I won't listen! If I really leave, I'll be a deserter!"
"Brother, you don't need to mention Mother to me. The person who understands us the most in this world is Mother. She won't be happy if I go back! If you are really worried about my safety, we brothers should work together to guard the border and resist the Xiliang army."
Huo Qingchen's expression was firm, his tone was stubborn, and there was some pleading in his eyes.
Looking at Huo Qingchen like this, Huo Yunan felt relieved.
Before, he always felt that Huo Qingchen was too proud and complacent, and did not know how to cherish his talents, let alone take on the responsibilities of being the second son of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
But now, Huo Qingchen has become mature and stable, and is willing to take on his share of responsibilities, but he can't bear to do so.
Huo Qingchen is still so young, he still has a lot of room to grow.
As long as he is given enough time, he will definitely grow into the God of War of Dayong.
He couldn't let anything happen to Huo Qingchen before he grew up.
Even if Huo Qingchen would blame him for this, he would accept it.
Huo Yun'an made a decision in his heart. Without answering Huo Qingchen, he strode down the city gate.
Looking at Huo Yun'an's departing back, Huo Qingchen was full of confusion and anxiety, and trotted after him.
“Big Brother!”
"Brother, you haven't answered me yet!"
"Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Huo Yun'an is tall and has long legs, and walks very fast.
Huo Qingchen kept asking questions but didn't get any answer.
Finally, they returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
A carriage was parked at the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Several people in plain clothes were standing beside the carriage. When they saw Huo Yunan, they all bowed and saluted.
Huo Yun'an looked at them with extremely calm eyes, "Are you all ready?"
"Reporting to the Marquis, everything is ready!"
"Then let's set off. Don't delay along the way. Even when you are resting, you must take turns guarding until you send the Second Young Master back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in the capital and hand him over to my mother!"
Several people bowed again, "Yes! Don't worry, Lord!"
Huo Qingchen listened to their conversation and was a little stunned at first, but soon understood what they were talking about.
Huo Qingchen looked at Huo Yun'an in disbelief, "Brother! Huo Yun'an! How could you do this! You're acting arbitrarily! I don't want to leave! I said I'm not going anywhere! I want to stand with you!"
Huo Yun'an waved his hand and said, "Tie him up and put him in the carriage!"
"Let's see who dares!" Huo Qingchen was like a wolf cub, his eyes were particularly fierce, "If you dare to make a move, don't blame me for being rude!"
As he spoke, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
Seeing Huo Qingchen like this, Huo Yunan felt relieved.
My younger brother has really grown up!
But while I was relieved, I became even more determined to send him away.
Just when Huo Yun'an was about to take action himself, two carriages came towards them.
The moment he saw the two carriages, Huo Yun'an was stunned.
Why do the people driving those two carriages look so familiar?
One seems to be Liuyun who is beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and why does the other one look like Wen Shiyan from the Wen family?
Huo Yun'an closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, two carriages had arrived in front of him and stopped.
Liuyun jumped down from the carriage, smiling brightly, and bowed to Huo Yunan, "Greetings, Marquis of Champion!"
Wen Shiyan lifted one leg and stepped on the shaft of the carriage, leaning his upper body against the carriage, his posture very leisurely, "Marquis Guanjun, long time no see!"
Huo Yunan, "..."
No need to doubt it!
You read that right!
Not an illusion!
That's them!
Huo Yun'an was in a complicated mood and was a little afraid to speak.
The door of the carriage next to Liuyun was opened and someone walked out.
Yu Youning walked out of the carriage, stood on the shaft and stretched lazily.
"We're finally here!"
As she spoke, she jumped down from the carriage with a light leap.
When it fell to the ground, it made no sound at all.
Chu Huaixu followed closely behind and walked out of the carriage.
He straightened his clothes and smiled at Huo Yun'an, "Hello, Champion Marquis, long time no see. I hope you are well."
Huo Yunan, "..."
He really wants to close his eyes now!
I just hope that everything in front of me is just an illusion!
We haven’t even sent away one Huo Qingchen yet, so how come two more are coming?
If Huo Qingchen disobeyed, he could tie him up and throw him into the carriage.
But neither Yu Youning nor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are people who can be treated like this.
Huo Yunan was so confused that he forgot to speak for a moment.
Chu Huaixu didn't care. He jumped off the carriage and walked to Huo Qingchen with Yu Youning.
Looking at Huo Qingchen's dazed and silly look, Yu Youning stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Huo Qingchen's eyes.
"Huo Qingchen! What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"
Huo Qingchen then slowly blinked, "Youning? Your Highness the Crown Prince? Why are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'an immediately looked over and waited for their answer.
Yu Youning smiled brightly, "My master asked me to come!"
Chu Huaixu also smiled, "My father asked me to come!"
Hearing what the two said, Huo Yunan's first reaction was that it was impossible!
The emperor is not mentally ill, so how could he let the prince come to Liangcheng!
If it were any other time, it would be fine, but now the Western Liang army is approaching and a war is about to break out. What's the difference between letting the prince come here at this time and letting him die?
But this is the prince!
He is the prince that the emperor loves and values the most!
He is the prince that the Queen cherishes!
If the emperor and the empress do not agree, the prince will not even be able to leave the capital, let alone come to Liangcheng.
After hearing the two people's answers, Huo Qingchen showed a bit of confusion on his face, but soon laughed, "You came at the perfect time!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunan's legs went limp.
Arrived just in time?
What's good?
Huo Qingchen then added, "The Xiliang army is approaching. Let's work together to figure out how to deal with them!"
Yu Youning nodded in agreement, "I think it's okay!"
Chu Huaixu looked thoughtful and nodded.
Jiang Lingzhou, who had just jumped off the carriage, also walked over.
Although no words were spoken, the meaning was already very clear.
Looking at the four of them, Huo Yunan's head began to hurt.
After pinching his brows, Huo Yunan finally found his voice.
"Your Highness, let's go to the palace first. I will go inform my father and the marshal."
The prince’s visit to Liangcheng is such a big deal, let my father and the marshal worry about it!
Chu Huaixu also felt that it was not appropriate to talk outside the gate, so he nodded and agreed, "Youning, let's go in first!"
"Okay!" Yu Youning agreed, and didn't forget to ask Huo Qingchen, "Huo Qingchen, what were you doing just now? I seemed to hear your eldest brother say that he wanted to tie you up. Did you do something naughty?"
"I didn't?" Huo Qingchen immediately denied. "It was my eldest brother who asked me to return to the capital. I refused to leave, so he tied me up and threw me into the carriage."
"Ah?" Yu Youning was shocked. "Why is your brother like this? This is too bad!"
"That's right!" Huo Qingchen agreed deeply. "He's so mean! I've decided to ignore him! Youning, luckily you guys arrived in time!"
Otherwise, if he really fought with his elder brother, he didn't know how likely he was to win.
The main reason is that the eldest brother is his real brother, and those around him are all his own people, so it is difficult for him to really kill them.
Now, Youning and the prince are here!
Since they weren't leaving, he certainly didn't have to leave either!
Huo Yun'an followed behind them, but he had already sent people to inform the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marshal.
After they arrived at the front hall, Marquis Zhenbei hurried over soon.
Marshal Wen lives in the Marshal's Mansion. Although it is not far away, it still takes time to get here.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was about forty years old, very tall and thin.
He was wearing a black robe, and his sleeves fluttered as he walked, looking very imposing.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. This isn't the capital, let alone the palace. Just be casual."
After everyone had taken their seats, the Marquis of Zhenbei asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, why have you come here at this time? Does the Emperor have any instructions?"
"The Emperor didn't give any instructions, but he couldn't lead the army in person, so he asked me to comfort the soldiers and boost their morale."
As he was speaking, he heard some noise outside.
Everyone looked towards the door and saw a man striding in.
The man was wearing a silver robe, walking like a dragon or a tiger, with a strong build and a dignified expression.
Especially those eyes, when they looked over, they gave people an invisible sense of oppression, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast.
The man who came was the Marshal of the Zhenbei Army, Wen Beiyao.
As soon as Wen Beiyao came in, he didn't look at anyone present and strode directly to Yu Youning.
