Chapter 398 No Fireplace
"If that's the case, Chen Ye must also hate Hong Kang. Our Lord and he were once close friends. We can try to persuade him to rebel first..." Pei Ming'an suggested.
"Don't set your sights on him." Huo Changan refused.
"I will inform him about this matter and let him investigate it himself. I won't say anything else."
Sang Ning glanced at him and smiled slightly.
Even though Huo Changan and Shen Ye now have different positions, they are still best friends.
There is no calculation of gains and losses between friends.
Sang Ning likes Huo Changan like this.
However, since ancient times, successful kings seem to be very ruthless. Putting aside her subjective ideas, is an emperor who values affection good or bad?
"What do you think, Madam?" Pei Ming'an asked Sang Ning.
He felt that this was a very beneficial thing for them. Going with the flow and letting Shen Ye turn over a new leaf would be good for him. Why didn't the master agree?
Huo Changan also looked at Sang Ning.
"I think... there's really no need to say more. It's better to say nothing than to say more."
Although everyone knew it was for Shen Ye's own good, the situation would change if Huo Changan was the beneficiary.
"We are friends, no need to say more."
As a friend, Huo Changan believes in his choice.
If they were friends, Shen Ye would choose them without hesitation.
Huo Changan knew that Sang Ning understood him, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Even if he told Chen Ye that it might be Hong Kang's doing, he was not shirking his responsibility.
He will always feel guilty about his wife's death.
But he knew that Shen Ye had never blamed him.
Because they are brothers and friends.
Really, there's nothing more to say.
Pei Mingan understood.
He was being superficial and had insulted the friendship between the Lord and Shen Ye. If they were true friends, there was no need to say those things.
"Master, if not, we can pretend to be Yan Mingyu's men and assassinate Hongkang." Pei Mingan said again.
Just as everyone was considering the feasibility of this matter, another secret letter arrived.
After seeing this, Huo Changan's expression changed drastically.
"Yan Meng is missing and we haven't been in contact for two days!"
Yan Meng is no ordinary person, he is the backbone of the Huo family army and the top general.
His disappearance is a big deal.
Feng Dali, Huo Jiangchu and others were all eager to go to southern Xinjiang.
"No, I will go myself." Huo Changan thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Keep the troops here in place. Shao Qing and Pei Ming'an will take charge. If anything happens, consult with the mistress."
This time he gave a direct order, and everyone knew there was no possibility of turning back.
But Huo Jiangchu still said, "My Lord, I know that Brother Meng is different from others. You are the best in martial arts, so you are indeed more suitable than us to go. However, you are also the commander of the entire army, and you cannot make any mistakes. Therefore, let me follow you."
"Yes, my lord, one of us must follow!" Shao Qing agreed.
"Silang, let your cousin follow." Sang Ning also said.
"Okay, you can come with me. You don't need to bring too many people. Just pick a hundred elite soldiers."
So it was decided.
After everyone had left, Huo Changan hugged Sang Ning with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"Ning'er..."
"Needless to say, I know that Brother Meng is indeed different from others. He is not only our most capable subordinate, but also our family member."
Although Huo Changan usually treats his subordinates equally, there are definitely some who are close to him and some who are not.
Yan Meng's family was rescued by Huo Zhennan, who also helped them build a camp, do business, and support an army of 30,000.
But my father-in-law, Huo Zhennan, is upright and honest, and has never used any despicable means to control the Yan family.
If the Yan family had been ungrateful on the day the Marquis' Mansion collapsed, they would have had no way to stop them.
But the Yan family is also a loyal family, and they consider themselves vassals of the Huo family.
Huo Zhennan also treats Yan Meng like his own son or nephew.
So although they are master and servant in name, they are actually family members.
In Huo Changan's heart, he values Yan Meng very much, like an older brother.
He was really worried if he didn't go in person.
"Be sure to be careful."
"Well, I promise nothing will happen. But you make me even more worried." Huo Changan frowned.
Last year in the northwest, she couldn't stay indoors even in the winter, but now, she would stay out of the tent if possible, and she always liked to stay by the stove.
Jingya's body has recovered, and Ning'er has taken a lot of health-preserving medicine, so why is her cold not getting better?
Fortunately, he felt that he was not so hot staying in the tent these days. It must be that the curse of the same life took effect and shared some of the coldness.
"I'm with the army, there's nothing to worry about. You don't have to worry about me. Don't be distracted."
Sang Ning turned around and packed his clothes.
Huo Changan hugged her from behind.
"Ning'er, wait for me to come back, let's go to Dongshan again."
"good."
Sanning wanted to cry.
What should I do if I don’t have a big stove to hold at night?
She is really a little afraid of the cold now.
"Ning'er?"
The man turned her around and saw a layer of mist in her eyes. Suddenly, his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and it felt numb and painful.
"Don't cry, I'll be back soon after saving someone, without stopping..."
Sang Ning forced a smile, feeling that he was physically weak and frail. How could he cry at this time? He couldn't let him leave without peace of mind.
Just as I was about to say something, tears rolled down my eyes.
Then, the man's hot lips covered the teardrop.
On the eyes, on the cheeks, on the mouth...
It was as if he wanted to imprint his mark all over her, to make her remember his scent, without leaving out an inch.
…
Huo Changan and Huo Jiangchu, along with a hundred elite soldiers, quietly left the military camp.
When Sang Ning woke up, it was already past noon.
The sun shone through the tent, and the dust particles flying in the air were sparkling.
Sang Ning watched quietly for a while.
"Ma'am, are you hungry?"
Yucui and Yubai were guarding him.
There was also bone soup warming on the stove, the aroma lingering.
"Yeah, I'm hungry."
Yucui served soup and a warm golden egg pancake and brought them to the bed.
He smiled and said, “The young master gave a lot of instructions before he left, telling her everything she liked and didn’t like to eat.
In fact, these servants have already taken note of this, the Master just... hehe, doesn't want to leave."
After getting familiar with Sang Ning, Yucui also became more lively.
"In the past, the old lady was most worried that the fourth young master would not be able to make sense and would not be stable after marrying. I didn't expect that he would be the most caring among the young masters."
"Even if the other young masters love their wives, they still try to hide it. The Fourth Young Master is different. Whether in the house or in front of the generals, he takes care of everything personally, fearing that others will not know the importance of his wife."
That’s right.
Huo Changan has indeed never restrained his behavior for the sake of face.
Even in front of his subordinates, he could bend down and brush the snow off her shoes as if nothing had happened.
Not to mention the little things like cooking and washing clothes.
The soldiers had long been accustomed to it.
He had always supported her highly, and when he heard her talk about modern things, he felt that was what a husband should do and didn't care what others thought.
