Chapter 409 I don’t like any girl! I only like my sword!
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became heavy after the emperor said this.
Huo Yun'an and Xiao Muyu had just returned to the capital and didn't know what had happened there before. There was confusion in their eyes.
But more of it is worry.
This is definitely not an ordinary thing.
Otherwise the emperor wouldn't have asked so suddenly.
Yu Youning was not nervous at all. He swallowed the pastry in his mouth, took another sip of tea, and then looked at the emperor.
"Even if the emperor didn't ask, I would have told you anyway. I've already roughly guessed where Tuoba Ruoli is hiding, and I'll go check it out tomorrow."
If these words were spoken by some ministers in the court, the emperor would most likely think that it was an excuse.
But these words came from Yu Youning's mouth.
That's completely different!
Yu Youning is a person who says whatever he thinks.
If something is true, it is true; if it is not true, it is not true. She will never speak nonsense for fear of being scolded.
The emperor was very happy and praised repeatedly, "Youning is really capable! Then I'll leave this matter to Youning! If you need any help, just tell Xu'er!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will!"
...
After leaving the palace and sitting in the carriage on the way back, Huo Yunan and Xiao Muyu looked at Yu Youning nervously and asked her what was going on.
Yu Youning did not hide anything and told him what happened to Nian Yi before.
Huo Yunan had seen Nian Yi before.
At that time, I had a pretty good impression of Nian Yi.
I never thought that after a few years, Nian Yi would suddenly do such a thing.
However, Xiao Muyu had never seen Nian Yi, but had only heard of the Buddha's name.
"It seems that even a Buddhist disciple doesn't know everything!"
"Speaking of which, Youning, you are amazing!"
Yu Youning quickly shook her head, "Sister Muyu is wrong, you are the truly amazing one!"
Seeing the two people praising each other, Huo Yun'an also laughed.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Wen Mansion, and Yu Youning and Xiao Muyu got off the carriage together.
Huo Yun'an did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to Yu Youning, "Youning, if there is anything you need my help with tomorrow, just let me know."
"No need!" Yu Youning refused without even thinking, "Brother Huo, just help Sister Muyu. I'll let Huo Qingchen go with me!"
Thinking that Huo Qingchen's martial arts skills were not inferior to his own, and his height was not shorter than his own, Huo Yun'an did not force it and nodded in agreement.
I just wanted to tell Huo Qingchen about this after I got back, and ask him to come to Youning early.
Huo Yun'an returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and Huo Qingchen was still waiting for him.
Seeing him come back, Huo Qingchen immediately stood up, "Brother, you are finally back. Why are you back so late? Did anything unexpected happen?"
Looking at Huo Qingchen's concerned eyes, Huo Yunan felt pleased but also a little amused.
"Listen to what you are asking. I am going to the palace, not to some dangerous place. What kind of accident could happen in the palace?"
The palace is the truly dangerous place!
Huo Qingchen thought so in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't say such words casually, so he suppressed it tightly.
"By the way, Youning said that she already knows where Tuoba Ruoli is hiding now, and asked you to go with her to find Tuoba Ruoli tomorrow—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Huo Qingchen trying to run out, so he quickly reached out and grabbed him.
Huo Yun'an was both amused and angry, "What are you doing now?"
"I'm going to find Youning!"
"What time is it now? Even if you're not sleepy, doesn't Youning need to rest? You didn't hear a word I just said to you! Youning asked you to go find her tomorrow morning! We'll go together then!"
"Brother, what are you going to do? Youning and I are enough!"
Hearing Huo Qingchen say this, Huo Yunan slapped him on the body in annoyance.
"What? You thought I was going to steal your work? I'm not going to look for Youning!"
"Then what are you going to do——"
Before he finished speaking, Huo Qingchen thought of something and immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"I know what you're going to do! Are you going to look for Sister Xiao?"
Being teased by Huo Qingchen like this, Huo Yun'an just kept a straight face and said nothing.
Huo Qingchen didn't give up and continued, "Brother, there are only two of us here now. Tell me the truth, are you happy? Ouch! Brother, why did you hit me?"
Huo Yun'an did not stop and continued to attack.
"I see you're not sleeping so late at night. I guess you're too idle. In that case, let's practice!"
Huo Qingchen did not stand there and take the beating, but was always on the defensive.
Hearing Huo Yun'an say this, Huo Qingchen snorted.
"What do you mean by practice? You're doing this on purpose because I hit the nail on the head!"
Huo Qingchen had no idea that what he said was just adding fuel to the fire.
Huo Yun'an, who had just used less than 30% of his strength, immediately increased it to 50% after hearing these words!
After all, they are two brothers who have a very good relationship. They are just sparring with each other, so naturally they would not kill each other.
A quarter of an hour later, the two stopped together.
After the call, both of them were out of breath.
It’s true that I’m tired.
But the joy is real.
The two of them didn't care too much and just sat on the ground, catching their breath and recovering.
After a long while, Huo Yun'an spoke softly.
"Qingchen, don't say those words again. It's not good for Muyu."
Huo Qingchen looked at Huo Yun'an strangely, not understanding why he said that.
I endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly.
"Brother, if you really like it, just tell Sister Xiao directly! What's there to be afraid of?"
"It's not that I can't say..."
Huo Yun'an frowned.
"Mu Yu hasn't had an easy time these past few years. She's never dreamed of a life of taking care of her husband and children. You can see how much she loves mechanical engineering.
If we two get married, she will become a wife and will have the responsibilities of a wife.
In the future, she might become a mother, and by then, she would be truly trapped.
Although getting married and having children would allow her to continue her research on mechanical engineering, having children and not having them were two completely different things. Even if there were servants to take care of them, could a mother not take care of them at all?
Not to mention whether others would point fingers at her and talk behind her back because of this, she herself would not allow herself to do so.
I don’t want her to have no choice.”
In this quiet night, Huo Yun'an's words, word by word, clearly reached Huo Qingchen's ears, bringing a great shock to Huo Qingchen.
He had never thought about these things before.
He always felt that with servants around, taking care of children was not a tedious task and he could live the same life as before.
But now, after listening to Huo Yun'an's words, he realized how wrong he was before!
Huo Qingchen nodded vigorously, "Brother, I understand. From now on, I won't talk nonsense casually anymore."
Huo Yun'an patted Huo Qingchen's shoulder and said, "I'm glad you understand. You're not young anymore, and you'll find a girl you like in the future. Don't be so careless, and don't impose your own ideas on other girls!"
"I don't like any girl!"
Huo Qingchen waved his hands vigorously, his voice extremely firm.
"How can a girl be better than practicing martial arts? I just love practicing martial arts! I want to spend my whole life with my sword!"
Huo Yunan, "???"
Fortunately, my father and mother were not at home and did not hear what Huo Qingchen said.
Otherwise, the two of them would probably be angry to death by Huo Qingchen's words!
Huo Yun'an was not angry at all, and didn't even take Huo Qingchen's words seriously.
Huo Qingchen is still young, does he know what to give?
Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Let’s talk about it later!
-
The next morning.
Huo Qingchen and Huo Yun'an arrived at the Wen Mansion early.
Yu Youning and others also got up early and were having breakfast together.
Seeing the two brothers coming, Yu Tingwan greeted them with a smile, "You came so early, have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and have some together?"
The two refused repeatedly, saying that they had already used it and were just waiting on the side.
Xiao Muyu ate very quickly, of course mainly because he was anxious.
Not long after, Xiao Muyu left in a hurry with Huo Yunan.
Yu Youning was not in a hurry at all.
Everyone else had finished eating and left, but she was still sitting at the table, eating slowly and leisurely.
Huo Qingchen felt hungry as he watched, so he simply sat down and stuffed a longan bun into his mouth.
After chewing the bun twice, Huo Qingchen swallowed it. He then looked at Yu Youning curiously, "Youning, where are we going to find Tuoba Ruoli? If you don't go quickly, aren't you afraid that she'll get the news and run away?"
Yu Youning shook her head. "She won't run away. She must think that I don't know where she is yet."
"So where is she?"
"You'll know when you get there!"
As Yu Youning spoke, he winked at Huo Qingchen.
This really whetted Huo Qingchen's appetite.
When Yu Youning finally finished breakfast, Chu Huaixu also arrived.
The three of them got on the carriage, which headed straight for the city gate.
It didn't take long to get out of the city.
Huo Qingchen kept looking at the scenery outside curiously, mainly wanting to see where they were going.
As he looked, he felt that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar, as if he had been there before.
When he saw the familiar manor, Huo Qingchen exclaimed, "Isn't this the Lin family's manor? She's hiding here? But didn't she almost kill Madam Lin before? Why is she hiding here?"
The most important thing is, why did Mrs. Lin and Lin Yu agree to let her stay here?
"Why is that? Let's go in and ask, and we'll know!"
Yu Youning was alive and was the first to get off the carriage.
Not to mention Huo Qingchen was curious, she was also very curious.
