Pei An was moved, quite a bit. In fact, ever since Princess Chang'an said those words to him a few months ago, he had always had a good impression of her. Therefore, during this period of time, he always approached her inadvertently. Even on the battlefield, when he saw that she was in danger, he always couldn't help but want to help her eliminate all dangers.
Pei An lowered his eyebrows slightly. He naturally gave people a feeling of arrogance. After a long time, Ye Chouxiu's mouth was dry from waiting, and Pei An finally said something.
"So what if it's interesting or not? After all, she is the most precious princess of the imperial court, and I am nominally a general, but I don't know what my fate will be in the end."
For the first time, Pei An hated himself for being born in the wrong country. If he had been a native of the Guochao Dynasty from the beginning, would he have been closer to the little princess?
"That would be interesting."
Ye Chouxiu raised his eyebrows, looking gossipy. Pei An raised his eyes suddenly, and his usually cold eyes suddenly showed a little discomfort. He lowered his head, looking very decadent.
The eyes of several young generals nearby looked at him with changed expressions. My goodness, who is Princess Chang'an? They, who were born and raised in the Guochao Dynasty, don't dare to covet her. She is the little princess beloved by the emperor. How dare he do that?
Ye Chouxiu ignored the various looks from the young generals, took a step closer to Pei An, and hooked his finger.
"Pei An, I saw that you were very loyal to Liang Zhong before. What did Princess Chang An say to you that day that made you follow us wholeheartedly?"
Pei An closed his eyes, that day...
In the end, Zhou Beichen was defeated by Zhou Zhaonuan. He asked everyone to leave and gave Zhou Zhaonuan and Pei An some time to be alone together.
The wind whistled in his ears, and his consciousness was somewhat unclear. He only vaguely felt that there was a person standing in front of him.
"Pei An, I respect you for your achievements at a young age. You have become a powerful general at such a young age, but you are not only blind but also blind in your heart."
When Pei An heard the clear female voice, he felt completely exhausted. However, he raised his head with all his strength. As he had guessed, it was indeed a girl, not particularly old judging by her age.
Since he was a child, he liked to wield swords and guns, and his father liked to teach him. However, he never expected that when he was five years old, something unexpected happened and his parents were killed by villains. He was rescued by Liangzhong after many twists and turns. Liangzhong was very good. Although he was an orphan, he still hired the best master to teach him martial arts, feed him, clothe him, and support him, making him silently swear in his heart that Liangzhong was his reborn parent and he would be loyal to him until death in this life.
He laughed sarcastically, and even his voice was filled with countless sneers.
"You... don't know my past, so you have no... qualifications... to comment on me."
He was just at the end of his strength at that time and had already made plans to die. When Zhou Zhaonuan squatted down and a pair of warm little hands touched his head, he was surprisingly not angry, but instead felt a sense of security.
"Pei An, haven't you always wanted to avenge your parents? Let me tell you, the Pei family has always been a family of military generals, sworn to loyalty to the court until death. However, they have won too many battles, and the country has been temporarily pacified. The emperor is always afraid of being overpowered. Not to mention that your Pei family's martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation and only taught to the same clan, let's talk about your master, who is actually your uncle. For the so-called self-protection, he has long been in cahoots with the emperor. Liangzhong deliberately hired someone to secretly kill your parents, just to cultivate a loyal general who would follow him wholeheartedly for his whole life. Pei An, you will never be able to repay this favor in your lifetime."
The sound of wind in his ears became bleak again. Pei An felt severe pain all over his body. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhou Zhaonuan looked at him coldly from the side.
"What... did you say? Say it again... say it again. I don't believe it."
For more than ten years, Pei An has been instilled with this idea. Whether in private or in public, he has regarded Liangzhong as his father.
When the evidence was laid out before him, Pei An felt as if his world had completely collapsed. When he wanted to kill himself, it was this little princess who saved him.
He only remembered that Zhou Zhaonuan lifted up his shirt by the back of his neck, leaned close to his ear, and spoke word by word.
"Everything that exists has value. Pei An, if you really die, you won't be able to take revenge in this lifetime. It's better to fight to live."
At that moment, a hope suddenly arose in his heart, and he heard Zhou Zhaonuan's voice again.
"To tell you the truth, Liangzhong has been captured by my father and is now imprisoned in Shaohua's prison. Whether you want to live or die is entirely up to you."
In this way, he expressed his intentions and successfully became a general of the national dynasty.
Come to think of it, he is only sixteen years old this year.
"General Ye, I..."
Pei An looked at Ye Chouxiu, who seemed to be thinking about him, and his voice became much softer. However, he didn't want to tell that to too many people.
Ye Chouxiu quickly understood what he meant, patted Pei An on the shoulder and laughed.
"Hahaha, kid, this is a secret between you two. You don't want to tell anyone else, right?"
Pei An: “…”
A black line flashed across his forehead, and he really wanted to say that it was not like that.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Pei An, just wait. After returning to the capital, I will ask the emperor indirectly to see if there is any hope for you two."
Although he didn't look very happy, at this moment, Pei An's heart was boiling with passion, as if it was going to rise to the sky. He happily bowed to Ye Chouxiu.
"Then I thank General Ye."
"That's not necessary, young man. After spending some time together, I feel more and more that you are a good child. As for Princess Chang'an, she is even better. If you two can really get together, it will be a good thing."
Ye Chouxiu stroked his beard, and Pei An's cold face rarely showed a smile.
On the way back to Beijing, every time Pei An saw Zhou Zhaonuan, he felt itchy and was unconsciously looking forward to the day when he would arrive in Beijing.
That day, when calculating that there was only one night left before arriving in the capital, Zhou Zhaonuan almost jumped three feet high with excitement.
"Daddy, that's great. We're finally going home. I missed mom and brother so much."
After being away for so long, Zhou Beichen already felt like returning home, but his daughter was so well-behaved along the way that he couldn't say that he missed Shen Nian'an.
At this moment, seeing the little girl's happy look, Zhou Beichen pretended to sigh, "That's right, it's been a long time since you came out. Not to mention you, even I miss your mother."
Zhou Zhaonuan was sitting next to him. After hearing this, he turned his face to the outside of the carriage and secretly rolled his eyes.
