Chapter 372 Knowing a Little Bit of Fighting

"In terms of status and competitiveness, Hu Yue, the daughter of the general of the escort flag, is the first choice."

Coincidentally, at the same time, Xiao Chuji was also discussing the candidate for the new queen with his staff.

"Shang Anlan, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Shang Yi, and Hu Yue, the daughter of the General of the Escort Flag, are both possible."

The staff member bowed to Xiao Chuji: "I think Shang Anlan may be a better choice."

"Oh?" Xiao Chuji shook the pendant in his hand: "Why do you think so?" "

In terms of appearance and talent, Shang Anlan may not be as good as Hu Yue, but she is younger. In addition, according to my investigation, Hu Yue already has someone in her heart. With her personality, she will definitely not enter the palace, and the General of the Escort Flag loves his daughter as much as his life, so he will not force her."

Xiao Chuji snorted lazily: "Someone in her heart? Who is it?"

"The eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Kangan."

Xiao Chuji paused, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Although he was smiling, he gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"It's him again..."

He said it very softly, but the staff couldn't help but shudder.

...

In the residence of the general of the escort flag, Hu Yue stood outside the study, lowering her eyes and saying nothing.

The maid who had gone to get new tea for the old man was startled when she saw her, and hurriedly saluted: "Miss..."

Before she finished the salute, Hu Yue was startled by her shout and ran away in a hurry.

The maid was stunned and called out repeatedly: "Miss...Miss..."

When Hu Yue's figure disappeared around the corner, Hu Renli in the study also heard the noise and came out.

"What happened?"

The maid bowed and said timidly, "My lord, I don't know. When I came back from getting new tea, I saw the young lady standing outside. As soon as I bowed, the young lady ran away in a hurry."

Hu Renli sighed lightly, "Okay, I know."

He was afraid that what he said was heard by her.

Hu Yue ran all the way back to the room and dismissed everyone.

She didn't cry, but just sat at the table, wondering what she was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, and Hu Renli's voice came through the door: "Yue'er, father is coming in."

Not hearing a response, Hu Renli hesitated for a moment and pushed the door open.

He looked at Hu Yue and sat next to her: "Did you hear everything?"

"Why?"

Hu Renli was stunned.

Hu Yue stared at him closely: "Why do you want to go to Nanlong?"

Hu Renli looked at his daughter with red eyes and sighed: "You also know the current situation in the court. It is a time of turmoil, and as a father, I naturally have to stand up."

"But Nanlong has a dangerous terrain and there are many unheard-of insects. Why do we have to fight?"

Hu Yue's eyes flashed with tears: "Erzhu Huaji and Tudola participated in the rebellion, so just kill them..."

"But they are the princes and princesses of Nanlong."

Hu Renli interrupted her, his voice still soft: "Even if they don't die now, they will die in the future. In total, three heirs of Nanlong will die in Tianqi."

"A battle between Nanlong and Tianqi is inevitable."

"Since we can't avoid it, we have to take the initiative."

Hu Yue gritted her teeth.

It's not that she didn't understand this, but why did it have to be him, and he was the one who mentioned it!

"So what you promised me back then doesn't count?"

Hu Renli remained silent.

"What did you promise me when my brother died on the battlefield!" Hu Yue stood up suddenly, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she shouted heartbreakingly: "Didn't you say that you would never leave Shengjing and would always be with me?!"

"Mom left, brother left, and now you're leaving too?!"

Hu Yue stared at him closely, her eyes full of anger, and Hu Renli even saw some resentment in them.

He avoided Hu Yue's sight as if escaping, and stood up with his hands on the table.

He turned around and left without saying another word.

Hu Yue stared at his back, and clenched her fists with her hands hanging at her sides.

What if he has made up his mind to leave? She doesn't believe that he dares to leave even if the emperor has issued an order not to let him go!

...

Bai Yan was sent to Xu's house by the palace carriage.

When he arrived, it was the time for the morning court, and Jiang Zhiyu was the only one in the house.

Jiang Zhiyu was lying on the rocking chair, as if she had no bones. She opened her eyelids, looked at him, and then closed them again. She raised her hand on her belly and waved it slightly, saying hello.

Bai Yan sat down beside her: "That poison back then..."

Jiang Zhiyu: "...You really haven't forgotten your original intention. You still remember it after so long."

Bai Yan: "..."

He looked at Jiang Zhiyu, and Jiang Zhiyu surprisingly understood that look.

Not only will he remember it, as long as he doesn't know the truth, he will remember it for the rest of his life.

"No, I can't tell you until I come back from Nanlong."

Jiang Zhiyu was afraid that he would get stuck in a rut, so she spoke first: "We agreed before, and you promised."

Bai Yan opened his mouth and closed it again.

Obviously Jiang Zhiyu had predicted him.

He opened the small bag he was carrying and placed the things inside on the table one by one. Putting aside

the bottles and jars, when the maidservant on the side was curiously looking at it, Bai Yan suddenly took out a coil of snakes from the bag!

The maidservant didn't know what it was yet, and the little snake in Bai Yan's hand raised its head and arrogantly spit at her.

The maid's legs suddenly softened: "Ah!"

She screamed so loudly that the dazed Jiang Zhiyu bounced off the rocking chair.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

After seeing the situation clearly, she yawned with her hands covering her mouth, and said to Bai Yan: "Be careful, not everyone is not afraid of snakes."

Bai Yan and the little snake looked at her innocently.

Jiang Zhiyu helped the maid up: "You are scared, right? You don't need to serve me today, go back and have a good rest."

The maid responded, turned around and ran away.

The only sleepiness she had dissipated. Jiang Zhiyu took the little snake from Bai Yan's hand and stuck out her tongue like it.

"Why are you so arrogant? You are the only one with a tongue." The snake's

tail wrapped around her wrist.

Bai Yan's eyes flashed with surprise: "It has a bad temper, but now it seems that it likes you very much."

As if responding to his words, the tip of the little snake's tail nodded.

Jiang Zhiyu did not respond, but just tapped the little snake's head with her fingers.

Bai Yan glanced at them a few times and continued to take things out.

"Do you know what these are?"

Bai Yan held a red insect in his hand: "This is a dream insect. As long as you plant it in a person's body, that person will only have sweet dreams. How about it, do you want to try it?"

"Thank you for your invitation, but I decline."

She refused directly, and Bai Yan was not annoyed: "Don't you have any regrets? It may never be solved in reality, but in dreams, there is still a chance to make up for it."

Jiang Zhiyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where did you get the habit of telling riddles? Although I don't understand riddles, I know a little bit of boxing."

Bai Yan: "..."
