After lunch, Xiao Yunyu and Xiao Yunchen also came back.
When he learned that Li Sisi had gone to see the Fourth Prince and obtained the Fourth Prince's token and trusted subordinates, he looked at Xiao Yunchen as if he was watching a show.
Xiao Yunchen looked calm, but his emotions were unclear.
Xiao Yunyu felt bored, so he hugged his wife and went back to the yard to see his daughter.
Xiao Yunchen took Li Sisi with him to find the Fourth Prince.
At night, the sky is dotted with stars.
Li Sisi went to Shuixieju to complain to Li Nian.
"In the end, I don't know how Xiao Yunchen did it, but the Fourth Prince handed the bronze medal to Chenchen as if it were a piece of cake. I don't understand, why didn't he let me do it?"
"Maybe they don't want you to take risks? After all, this is a special period." Li Nian comforted.
"But he doesn't know martial arts yet! Isn't that even more dangerous?" Li Sisi glanced at Xiao Yunyu, who was eating an apple beside her, and lowered her voice. "Besides, I saw Wen Luoxin at the Fourth Prince's residence. She didn't seem anxious at all, and seemed very sure that the Fourth Prince would be the final winner."
"I don't think the Fourth Prince wants to be the emperor!"
Li Nian is also very confused now. In such a big event of fighting for the throne, a small fish like her cannot make any big waves.
There is no news from the princess now.
Xiao Yunyu suddenly said, "Don't worry about it. The Crown Prince will probably attack the city early tomorrow morning. We should take this opportunity to leave the capital."
The two best friends were shocked.
"Did you hear what we said just now?" Li Sisi asked immediately.
"Yeah, I heard it." Xiao Yunyu replied calmly.
Li Sisi was surprised: "Do you have super hearing? Can you hear this?"
Li Nian was also surprised.
She knew that Xiao Yunyu had very good eyesight. Even though the city wall was so high, he could still see her.
However, she really didn't know that Xiao Yunyu was so good that he was abnormal!
Then, when she whispered to him before, did she hear it?
As if they were telepathically connected, Xiao Yunyu raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "I can hear it all."
Li Nian:!!
It seems that I can only feel sad in my heart from now on.
"Master, the Marquis asked you and his wife to go to the main courtyard, and the second wife should go with you." Xiaobai's voice sounded outside the study.
"Let's go." Xiao Yunyu stood up. "I guess they're discussing leaving Beijing."
Li Sisi was puzzled: "Hasn't he already persuaded the Fourth Prince? Why is he leaving the capital?"
"Do you think the Fourth Prince's men are really that useful?" Xiao Yunyu chuckled. "Then you underestimate the Crown Prince."
The two best friends were surprised.
What surprised Li Nian even more was that Xiao Yunyu also seemed calm and unhurried.
Wen Luoxin too.
Both of them looked confident.
Li Nian asked, "Are you leaving Beijing with us?"
"Of course." Xiao Yunyu answered without thinking, "I have to protect my wife and Jinhe, and I can't help if I stay."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the main courtyard.
Xiao Yunchen was already sitting in the reception room.
Li Sisi glanced at him and ignored him.
"Come on, sit down."
The three of them sat down after hearing this.
Lord Xiao ordered his servants to make tea, and then began to talk about his plan.
"The departure time from Beijing must have been set. We will leave early tomorrow morning. You can just pack some of your belongings. Don't take anything else with you. They are all available at the farm."
He paused, then added, "Bring some of Jinhe's toys so that Xia Ou Aotou won't be unhappy on the way."
Li Nian replied, "Okay, my daughter-in-law will make the arrangements."
Lord Xiao nodded and looked at Li Sisi: "We only have one carriage, you can ride a horse tomorrow."
"Okay, no problem." Li Sisi replied.
Xiao Yunchen said: "Father, I will stay."
"What are you staying for?!" Old Madam Xiao exclaimed hurriedly, "Why are you so disobedient, child?"
"Mother, it's good that you just leave. We have to leave someone in the capital to clean up the mess." Xiao Yunchen's voice was still gentle, but his attitude was strong and could not be refuted.
"My son cannot stand aside in such a critical moment. Moreover, my son has already made an agreement with the Fourth Prince, so I cannot leave easily."
Madam Xiao immediately said, "A real man can bend and stretch, how can he stay out of it?"
Marquis Xiao also advised: "Chen'er, it's not that our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is disloyal, but the current Emperor and Crown Prince are traitors, and it's really not worth our sacrifice."
"As a subject, I serve the court and protect the people." Xiao Yunchen was firm in his attitude.
Xiao Yunyu said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you want to stay?"
"Sure." Xiao Yunchen nodded seriously.
"In that case, then you can stay. I have no objection." Xiao Yunyu said.
Madam Xiao scolded dissatisfiedly: "Of course you have no objection, when did you really regard Chen'er as your own brother?"
She shouted, "I don't agree with this!"
At this time, the housekeeper came to announce: "My Lord, the elder of the Xiao family has arrived."
Lord Xiao stood up quickly and said, "Quick, please invite them over."
The two best friends have been married for so long, but this is the first time they have met the elders of the Xiao family.
Seeing that Lord Xiao had shown a respectful attitude before even meeting anyone, he was very curious.
Madam Xiao, who had always been arrogant and domineering, also stood up immediately and stood aside with a respectful attitude.
The two best friends stood up with everyone else and put on a respectful welcoming attitude.
But I couldn't help but be curious about what the Xiao clan elder would look like.
After a while, three old men came in.
The old man in the middle was leaning on a cane, his hair was gray, but his majestic and sharp eyes could accurately capture the attitude of the people present at any time.
The two best friends followed the two brothers and bowed respectfully.
Lord Xiao gave up the seat at the top, so the two best friends moved down one by one.
"I heard that Yun Chen just came back from the palace?" The elder spoke, his voice old but full of energy.
Xiao Yunchen immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and replied, "Yes, I wonder what instructions the elder has for you who has suddenly come here?"
"The world is in such chaos these days," the elder said with emotion, then changed the subject, "But heroes emerge in troubled times."
He looked at Xiao Yunchen with a sharp gaze, a hint of sharpness and scrutiny in his eyes: "It seems that your family is planning to leave Beijing?"
"Yes, I do have this plan." Lord Xiao replied.
"I didn't ask you," the elder stared at Xiao Yunchen, "You said, are you planning to escape from the battlefield?"
"Yun Chen doesn't plan to leave Beijing." Xiao Yun Chen said in a firm and calm tone.
The elder nodded with satisfaction: "Thinking back to the time when our Xiao clan..."
The elder lamented the Xiao family's former glory, and finally said with regret: "Unfortunately, there has never been such a figure in the following generations. Looking at the entire Xiao family today, only you, the second son of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion, Xiao Yunchen, are young and promising..."
The elders praised him again, and Xiao Yunchen kept saying "I don't deserve it" and "You are so flattering"...
As if realizing the time was almost right, the elder continued, "With this opportunity, whether the Xiao family's glory can be restored to its former glory and even surpass it, depends on you, the younger generation, to fight for it."
Everyone in the Xiao family: ...
