The rest of the guards handed over their account books, and only Tai Yonglu followed He Xiong into the house.
Perhaps the battle was going well, the general looked good, except for a slight dark circle under his eyes.
He smiled when he saw Tai Yonglu and said, "I didn't expect that Manager Chen would dare to let you, a kid, escort the grain back, and you actually did a good job! You Tai boys are all good hands!"
Tai Yonglu saluted quickly, then sat down next to the general with some nervousness and excitement, and explained in detail the journey south and the transportation of grain back.
Finally, he added, "The person in charge of the second grain transport team is my younger brother Yongyue. My grandfather was worried, so he only sent some people to help me, and the rest followed him to go and meet Yongyue."
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" The general nodded. "Although the war is going smoothly, we are indeed short of food and fodder. These shipments of food have really solved our urgent need. After victory, when we reward our merits, your names will definitely be included in the list of merit."
Tai Yonglu became even more excited and responded, "My grandfather said that the North is our home. It is our duty to help now. Even if we don't have any military merits, we are willing to do our part."
"Your grandfather taught you so well!" The general thought of his good-for-nothing youngest son, and suddenly felt that he was not even a little bit inferior to the boy from the Tai family.
Previously, the Sixth Prince had helped send his family away to live in seclusion, and he didn't know if this kid would get into trouble...
Not to mention the general's secret worry, the old man and the child were talking animatedly when suddenly a personal guard came to report, "General, Tai Yongan is back, slightly injured..."
Before he finished speaking, Tai Yonglu had already rushed out. He Xiong was worried and quickly gave chase.
In the military doctor's tent, Tai Yongan was bandaging the wound on his arm while talking about the war with a beaming expression.
Suddenly, the door curtain was opened, and Tai Yonglu rushed in and hugged his elder brother, anxiously shouting, "Brother, where are you hurt?"
Tai Yongan was stunned for a moment, then became extremely happy.
"Yonglu, didn't you go south? Why are you here?"
The military doctor was afraid that Tai Yonglu would ruin his bandage, so he quickly said, "Let go, kid! Your brother's only suffered a minor wound and won't die! But if you delay any longer, your brother will bleed out!"
Tai Yonglu quickly jumped away, but Tai Yongan laughed and said to the old military doctor, "Uncle Wang, don't scare my brother! I'm in good health, and I'm not afraid of a little bleeding!"
The old military doctor fumed and glared at me, complaining, "Go ahead and brag all day long about how much blood you have. Even if you have a lot of blood, it can't be wasted like this! A minor injury every three days, a major one every five days. Do you really think you're immortal?"
After being reminded, Tai Yonglu quickly tore off his elder brother's clothes. Sure enough, there were many knife wounds on his chest and back. Although they were almost healed, scars were left.
Tai Yonglu immediately burst into tears, choking with sobs and complaining, "Brother, you promised Mom to take good care of yourself, and this is how you take care of yourself!"
Tai Yongan felt guilty and quickly begged for mercy in a low voice, "Brother, please don't tell mother! I will be careful next time and will never take risks again! Don't worry, it's just some minor injuries, it won't kill me! Zhuzhu said I can be a general in the future! If I kill all the Luosha devils this time, I will almost be a general!"
Seeing his elder brother smiling with all his white teeth, Tai Yonglu wiped away his tears fiercely. He felt angry and helpless, and had no way to deal with him.
At this time, the Sixth Prince also walked in with his arm in a sling. He had his own special doctor next door who had just heard the noise and rushed over as soon as he had bandaged his arm.
"Don't worry, Yonglu, I'm watching over your brother! Don't worry, the war will soon be over."
Tai Yonglu was even more anxious. Although he did not rush forward rashly, he still circled around his cousin, looking very anxious!
"Cousin, how did you get hurt too? If my mother knew, she would rush back immediately!"
"So, don't let my aunt know!" The Sixth Prince patted Yongyue's shoulder and said with a smile, "From now on, remember to only report good news and not bad news!"
The old doctor had just finished treating Tai Yongan and waved his hand to send him away. "Go back and rest quickly. Don't drink alcohol. Apply medicine on time. I won't nag you anymore. After all, nagging is useless. If you want to pick up your knives and kill the Rakshasa devils, you will definitely not hesitate. I can't stop you!"
Tai Yongan chuckled and quickly went out with the Sixth Prince and Yonglu.
He Xiong stood in the distance and called out, "Your Highness, come and have dinner with me. The food is ready."
So a few people gathered in He Xiong's room, eating and chatting.
After Tai Yonglu had eaten and drunk his fill, he approached his cousin and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, are you going to be the emperor in the future?"
If someone else asked, the Sixth Prince would definitely be suspicious, but if he didn't trust his two cousins, one fighting side by side with him, and the other transporting military supplies with untold hardships, who could he trust?
So, he smiled and replied, "Why do you ask? Who told you this?"
Tai Yonglu shook his head, not feeling at all that this was taboo, and replied, "Zhuzhu was talking to Mother the other day, and Mother said you were a prince. Zhuzhu asked what a prince was, and Mother said he was the emperor's son. Zhuzhu said that cousin would also become an emperor in the future, and a good emperor!"
The Sixth Prince thought of his chubby little cousin, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
"If I become the emperor in the future, I will agree to whatever Yonglu wants."
"Really? My cousin is so nice, woohoo, you are my real brother!" Tai Yonglu no longer has the cold-faced and bossy look of the past. Now he is like a scoundrel in front of his cousin.
His eyes rolled around as he said, "Cousin, if you become emperor, could you give me a badge? The kind that allows me to travel around the country and do whatever business I want! I like making money from business, and Yongyue likes counting money. I'll let him manage my accounts when the time comes. Then, when my eldest brother goes to war again, I'll buy him food, weapons, and horses!"
After saying this, he didn't forget to flatter, "Of course, my cousin will be in the palace and can't come out casually, so he must be very bored. Then I will send good things from all over the country to the palace to entertain you!"
The Sixth Prince laughed out loud at his cousin's simplicity and innocence.
He agreed immediately, "Okay, then your cousin will make a sign specifically for you!"
Tai Yonglu immediately cheered and asked, "Cousin, when will you become emperor? I can't wait!"
The Sixth Prince looked towards Kyoto and whispered, "It's almost time. I won't keep you waiting for long."
Tai Yongan was listening to the excitement, only He Xiong was worried about Tai Yonglu, fearing that he would say something to anger the Sixth Prince.
But he underestimated the Sixth Prince's trust and closeness to the Tai family, so of course his worries were in vain.
He looked at Tai Yongan, who started yawning after eating and drinking, and found himself even funnier.
God loves fools!
It is precisely because the Tai family has nothing to ask for and is sincere to the Sixth Prince that they are able to gain the Sixth Prince's true love!
