Chapter 492 Let’s Be a Fisherman
Old Lady Su also saw the young man standing silently at the door of the next yard.
Wearing Xiao An's old clothes, a dark blue cotton jacket, he still looked tall, handsome, and elegant.
But his face was still pale and he was very thin.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, took two steps towards the courtyard gate, and this time she could see clearly.
The reason why the young man stood there motionless was that Quartz was strangling him from behind.
"...What do you want to do?" Old Lady Su asked again, "Are you hungry?"
Because the other party was a hostage, and Tianbao had specifically warned them that this person was dangerous, the Su family consciously avoided getting close to the prince and talked less.
I only feed it three times a day, so we are not familiar with it.
The old man walked over with his new follower in a carefree manner. "He eats three meals a day and eats a lot, how can he be hungry? Look at the way his eyes are rolling around, I must be up to no good. Big sister, stay away from him, or you won't fall into his trap. The old man is very good at judging people. Just by looking at his face, I can tell he is extremely cunning. You are too naive and not enough for him to play with!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su was frightened and immediately took two steps back, her body slightly tensed up, showing vigilance.
The extremely cunning Yan Changkong, "..."
When did his eyes start rolling around?
"Grandma Su, I've been staying in the house for too long and felt bored. Today is New Year's Day, and I heard it was quite lively outside, so I couldn't help but want to come out to share in the New Year's joy. I'm sorry, I scared you." Yan Changkong pointed to his neck helplessly.
His neck was still in Quartz's hand, so he didn't dare to make any more plans.
"What are you pointing at? You're a hostage, remember? It's already a great favor for me to let you live in my grandpa's courtyard. Don't think of any bad ideas." Du Buqin raised his hand and pointed at several acupuncture points on Yan Changkong's body, then called the little guys around him over, "Don't you want to join in the fun? There's work to do. I just told you that story, you tell it! The kids love to listen! Tell it in detail and with emotion! If you don't tell it well, I'll deduct your meal today!"
Yan Changkong lowered his gaze and met a group of little kids with shining eyes. He had the urge to turn around and go into the house and never come out.
It’s not that the story can’t be told, it’s not difficult.
The difficulty is that once a precedent is set, there will definitely be no end to it.
However, he was under someone's control, so Yan Changkong could only do as he was told.
As he expected, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, he became the new storyteller of Tubei Village and completely took over the baton of the old man Du.
The three brothers of the Su family saw what happened and would always talk about it when they were joking.
"In just ten days, the kids who used to always chase after Grandpa Du now go to the next yard every day after waking up. I didn't realize that Yan Changkong is quite talented in telling stories." On the night of the Lantern Festival, Su An held a bowl of dumplings and devoured them, laughing as he ate.
Bai Yu had come all the way here today to eat dumplings, bringing his entire family, including his father and aunt, with him, showing no signs of shyness. "He really understands the principle of making the best of a situation. But the peace will only last for a few days. Once spring arrives, things will be completely different."
"Has Wangque Tower received any new news?" Tianbao asked.
"Well, the nations are waiting for the spring to arrive and march their armies directly to capture Nansang. To increase their chances of victory, the nations have already begun targeting Yan Changkong. If you hadn't brought him to Tubei Village before the New Year, he might have been kidnapped."
"Coming and going, I've become Yan Changkong's protective shield. The reversal of events is often surprising—Hey, Mom, why did you hit me? I was eating dumplings, and you choked me! Are you my real mother?"
As soon as Su Wen opened his mouth, he was slapped by his mother.
He Daxiang sneered, "Just speak properly, why are you shaking your head? I've spoiled you, and you're still pretending at home!"
Su Wu immediately added fuel to the fire, pitting his brother without hesitation, "Mom, you should have taught him a lesson long ago! He's so evasive when he speaks. There are a lot of people among us who have traveled all over the country, and none of them has this bad habit!"
Su Wen twitched his lips and took note of this.
There is a meeting between mountains and rivers.
The kitchen is not big and is crowded.
Bai Yu took advantage of the situation and pulled Tian Bao to the doorway, where they squatted down. This also saved him from the possibility of a fight breaking out inside. "Nan Sang has divine weapons in hand, so even if the armies of other nations approach, they won't immediately start a fight. Both sides have their concerns. We have confirmed that the leaders of Bei Xiang and Dong Pu have already ordered the withdrawal of the Nine Nations' wanted list."
Tian Bao looked calm, "Not surprising. In the eyes of those people, only interests last the longest."
For the sake of interests, enemies can become friends and friends can become enemies.
Now Nan Sang is wary of her. For all the countries, under the current situation, she is their common interest.
"Whether they are friends or foes, that's their business. We just need to watch from the sidelines." Bai Yu raised his lip and winked at the girl, "Let's play the role of a fisherman for once."
Tianbao tilted her head to look at him, the corners of her lips curled up, she had the same idea.
The leisure and happy time passes very quickly.
By the end of February, the ice on the surface of the Qinghe River had melted, and the gurgling water pushed the floating ice towards the sky.
Reeds by the river are sprouting new buds, and scattered green spots are appearing on the ground.
It's the busy spring planting season again.
The farmers who had spent the winter there picked up their hoes and rakes and began to go back and forth in the fields, and the scene was full of vitality everywhere.
Outside the borders of Dai Viet, armies from various countries began to gather and set off for Nam Sang by land and water.
The Emperor of Dongpu stood on the wall of the imperial city with his hands behind his back, watching the generals of the dynasty lead their troops to set off. The mighty army was like black crows, covering the entire city gate and official road.
Behind him, there were several important officials in the court, all of whom had solemn and angry expressions.
"Your Majesty, Nan Sang knows all about my grievances, yet he hasn't mentioned a word about the two plots. He clearly doesn't take Dong Pu seriously! I will definitely settle this account with Nan Sang at the negotiation table and make them compensate Dong Pu for his losses!"
"At first, I suspected that Su Jiuni was behind this, but I almost found the wrong person! Nan Sang used the magic weapon to provoke a war, causing Dongpu to be continuously pressured by various countries. Wucheng was almost conquered by the coalition forces of several countries. It's really hateful!"
"Long Yuan Zhao Yu is the only survivor of the eight-nation envoys. At least most of what he said is credible. Nan Sang has been secretly plotting for who knows how many years. If it weren't for Su Jiuni who suddenly appeared, the entire Central Plains would probably have been unified by Nan Sang by now!"
Emperor Dongpu gazed at the retreating army, his fierce eyes flashing. "Nan Sang relies on the divine soldiers and is fearless. Their biggest fear is Su Jiuni. They will definitely find an opportunity to attack the Exiled Land to eliminate this major threat. If we want to win this battle, we must protect Su Jiuni."
"Your Majesty, there's another piece of information we've overlooked: the Emperor of Dai Viet and Su Jiuni have a close relationship!"
"Return to the palace. I need to write a letter to Emperor Xuan Jing and meet him in person to discuss important matters!"
