Chapter 143 Earthquake
Um?
Trying to outsmart me?
You're still twenty years too early...
"Good Path, come here."
Yuchi Gong gave a greeting.
"Uncle Yuchi."
Qin Shandao naturally complied.
As soon as he walked to Yuchi Gong's side, Yuchi Gong grabbed him and lifted him up.
Go stay somewhere cool.
After saying that, he tossed it behind him.
Thump.
Qin Shandao fell to the ground, dusted himself off, and got up...
It doesn't hurt much, but it just feels uncomfortable.
They're not causing any trouble, they're all targeting me!
"Uncle Yu, don't you think my Xiang'er is pretty?"
Yuchi Gong acted as if the scene had never happened, and a smile bloomed on his dark face once again.
Qin Shandao is good.
Compared to Wei Shuyu, he is several levels below.
Leaving aside the fact that Wei Shuyu became an official at the age of eleven, and also ignoring the merits he accumulated over the years...
With the privilege of being Wei Zheng's eldest son and holding a hereditary dukedom, there are fewer than ten people in the entire Chang'an who possess such a natural advantage!
"Uncle Yuchi, I have no plans to get married yet."
"Besides, Xiao Xiang'er is still so young, how could we possibly develop romantic feelings for each other?"
Wei Shuyu sighed.
Now that things have come to this, I can only tell the truth.
"Feelings can be cultivated gradually."
Yuchi Gong casually patted Wei Shuyu on the shoulder.
"Don't stand outside, let's go inside..."
At Yuchi Gong's invitation, the group entered the military camp.
Throughout the journey, Yu Chi Huan gritted his teeth at Cui Shenji.
"Let's see the sacred tree?"
Choi Shin-ki retorted defiantly, "Believe it or not, I'll put another sack over your head tonight?"
"You dare?"
"You'll see if I dare."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
Thump.
Yuchi Gong raised his hand and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
Then the two of them covered their heads and continued to stare at each other.
You didn't learn your lesson after one beating, huh?
I'll get Yi'ai and we'll beat you up tomorrow!
Choi Shin-ki couldn't help but think...
After entering the military camp and taking their seats, Yuchi Gong wanted to bring up the marriage between the two, but Wei Shuyu spoke first...
"Uncle Yuchi, I'm here today to investigate embezzlement. We can talk about the rest later, okay?"
"There's no rush..."
Yuchi Gong waved his hand: "As long as you don't dislike Xiang'er, I'll have a good talk with your father later."
"..."
Wei Shuyu's lips twitched.
The wicked orders of parents.
But it seems that Dad has his eye on Wu Qiqi as his daughter-in-law, so he probably won't agree, right?
"What? You dislike Xiang'er?" Yuchi Gong's face darkened.
"That's definitely not it..."
"It's good that you don't mind. Don't worry, I know your Wei family isn't wealthy, so I won't ask for too much dowry."
"Uncle Yuchi, I think..."
As the two were chatting animatedly, the tea on the table suddenly rippled...
Then came a loud bang!
The entire tent shook violently, causing everyone to stagger and twist.
With quick reflexes, Yuchi Gong pulled Yuchi Xiang into his arms.
"Everyone, get outside!"
Wei Shuyu roared and dragged Cui Shenji and Qin Shandao out of the tent.
Yuchi Gong realized what was happening and hurriedly ran out of the tent.
The violent earthquake lasted for a full thirty breaths before it finally stopped.
Outside the tent, many soldiers lay sprawled on the ground, all in a daze.
"Someone come here."
Yuchi Gong shouted loudly with a cold face.
"General."
The bodyguard standing nearby immediately clasped his hands in greeting and stepped forward.
"Assemble the soldiers! The entire battalion is ready for orders!"
"yes!"
After giving his instructions, Yuchi Gong looked at Wei Shuyu...
"Shuyu, due to the earthquake, I may not have time to entertain you for the time being."
Yuchi Gong's dark face showed a solemn expression.
Although an earthquake may only last for thirty breaths, the consequences can be absolutely devastating.
Military camps are tents, so you might not be able to tell much from them.
But the town must have already fallen into chaos!
He was to enter Chang'an to maintain order as soon as Li Shimin's decree arrived.
"Uncle Yuchi, what are you saying? Your business is more important," Wei Shuyu replied modestly.
"Um."
Yuchi Gong nodded: "Then I'll leave Xiang'er in your care."
As he spoke, he pushed Yuchi Xiang toward Wei Shuyu.
"Uncle Yuchi, don't worry."
Wei Shuyu readily agreed.
Taking care of a child is just a small favor.
With Wei Shuyu's assurance, Yuchi Gong left satisfied.
But after walking halfway, they turned back.
Just as Yuchi Huan was about to follow, Yuchi Gong kicked him back...
"I'm going out on business, what are you doing following me?"
Yuchi Gong shouted sharply, "Get out of here and protect your sister!"
"oh oh."
With his head hanging low, Yuchi Huan timidly ran to Wei Shuyu's side.
After Yuchi Gong left...
“Good advice!” Wei Shuyu exclaimed.
"Big brother, I'm here."
"I'm entrusting Xiao Xiang'er to your protection."
"..."
As they spoke, he pushed Yuchi Xiang toward Qin Shandao.
Yu Chixiang blushed.
Compared to Wei Shuyu's composure, Yuchi Xiang still prefers to be with Qin Shandao.
One is a man who can have a long and easy conversation with his father.
One is a cute little boy who is about the same age as him.
Yu Chi Xiang naturally enjoyed spending time with the cute little boy Qin Shandao.
"Wei Shuyu, my father asked you to protect Xiang'er!" Yu Chi Huan was extremely dissatisfied.
He's not stupid.
Yuchi Gong kept him around to keep an eye on the two of them.
"You have a problem with that?"
Wei Shuyu raised an eyebrow.
"I challenge you!" Yu Chi Huan said fiercely.
Do you know what this is?
Wei Shuyu raised his hand.
"What?" Yu Chi Huan asked subconsciously.
"A slap!"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu slapped Yuchi Huan on the forehead.
"Challenge? Challenge your grandpa!"
*Smack*
"Who do you think you are, daring to challenge me!"
*Smack*
"Do you hold an official position? Are you challenging me?"
*Smack*
"Do you have a title? Are you going to challenge me?"
*Smack*
"You can't even beat Little Jiji, yet you dare to challenge me?"
*Smack*
"Even your father wouldn't dare yell at me, and you dare challenge me?"
Snap snap snap...
He was kicked away with a final thud...
"What a silly thing to do."
Wei Shuyu shook his hand.
That's too brutal.
Choi Shin-ki covered his eyes.
I saw my older brother take action again.
Looking back, I remember enjoying such exceptional treatment myself.
That hazy, pleasant feeling is still fresh in my memory!
"Third Brother."
Yu Chi Xiang ran over to Yu Chi Huan and helped him up.
That's terrifying.
My father actually wants to marry me off to this kind of person...
"Wei Shuyu!"
Yu Chi Huan shoved Yu Chi Xiang aside and shouted, "You attacked me from behind!"
"A sneak attack?"
Wei Shuyu waved his hand: "Come again."
"..."
Yuchi Huan hesitated and dared not step forward.
We definitely can't win in a fight.
In those few moves, I didn't even have time to react.
"Huan, give up. You can't handle this big pot," Choi Shin-ki casually interjected.
"What are you yelling about? Come on then!" Yu Chi Huan was furious.
Holy crap?
I kindly tried to make peace with you, and you yelled at me?
"Come here if you dare!" Choi Shin-ki pulled out the royal sack.
"Come here!"
Yu Chi Huan glanced at Wei Shuyu with apprehension.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Wei Shuyu is standing next to you.
"If you don't dare come closer, you'll be a little dog."
"You're not a puppy, come here."
"Come here!"
"Come here!"
The two of them started arguing.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
That's enough.
Wei Shuyu looked at Yuchi Huan: "Take me to check the account books!"
"Okay."
Yu Chi Huan agreed.
If there's a way out, why not take it? That would be foolish.
