After returning to the capital, Han Xiao rested for a few days and then became busy again, because the young master was called to the palace by the emperor from time to time.
Han Xiao couldn't refuse, but after the emperor abdicated, he had no time left and left all matters to Chu Jinglin.
As the new emperor, Chu Jinglin is also the successor trained by the emperor himself. There is no need to say much about his ability. Han Xiao himself is an idle person, but in order to see his wife often, he can only run to the palace frequently.
Then Chu Jinglin pulled him to work. No matter how reluctant Han Xiao was, he had to hold his nose and work every time he saw the young master's admiring eyes.
Soon it was time for Huyan Gue to enter the capital. This time, Huyan Gue was very sincere. Not only did he return the cities that Jiang State had lost before as agreed, he also brought a lot of good horses and cattle and sheep.
You should know that the Northern Di cavalry was invincible, and the good horses played a big role in this.
Looking at the things Hu Yanjue brought, Chu Jinglin, no matter how steady he was, showed a rare hint of pride. Han Xiao stood behind Chu Jinglin and looked at this "old friend" whom he had met once.
Huyan Que noticed Han Xiao's gaze and smiled at him friendly. He knew Han Xiao's identity.
Thanks to Han Xiao's communication with Huo Cheng, he was able to find Chu Jinglin so smoothly.
Chu Jinglin didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two. After putting down the memorial in his hand, he patted Hu Yanjue's shoulder and said with relief, "It's been a smooth journey, hasn't it?"
Hu Yanjue was flattered. He quickly clenched his right fist, placed it on his chest, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was escorted by your men along the way, and everything went smoothly."
"That's good, that's good. You can stay here for a while longer this time and learn more about the customs and culture of our Jiang Country." Chu Jinglin said with a smile.
Unlike Huyan Sui, Huyan Que's attitude was very well controlled. He knew that the current Jiang Kingdom was no longer a soft persimmon like before, but his brother could not see it clearly and gave Beidi to him in vain.
Hu Yanjue thought to himself, his expression sincere, "Of course, but I have another request this time."
Huyan Que looked at Chu Jinglin and said seriously.
Chu Jinglin's smile remained unchanged, but there was a hint of caution in his eyes: "Oh? Tell me, what is your request?"
After saying this, he gestured for Huyan Que to sit down and talk.
Hu Yanjue was sensitive to the fact that Chu Jinglin's attitude was not as enthusiastic as before. He did not dare to sit down and bent down to say, "Your Majesty, your Majesty played an indispensable role in resolving the civil strife in Beidi this time. Therefore, I would like to marry the princess of Jiang State and maintain the friendship between our two countries for a hundred years."
It all comes down to the issue of marriage alliance. Huyan Sui came to the State of Jiang for the purpose of marriage alliance, and the same was true for his younger brother Huyan Que.
However, the difference between the two was that Huyan Que's attitude was very humble, which made Chu Jinglin feel much better.
However, in Chu Jinglin's opinion, their Jiang Kingdom does not need a marriage alliance at all. With their current strength, if anyone dares to offend Jiang Kingdom, they can just fight back.
The smile on Chu Jinglin's face slowly faded. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Let's talk about the marriage later. The King of Beidi has just arrived in my Jiang Kingdom, so he should get some rest first."
Seeing that Chu Jinglin did not quite agree with the marriage proposal, Hu Yanque could only forget about the topic for the time being.
In Huyan Que's opinion, marriage is the most beneficial thing for their two countries, but he doesn't know why the Emperor of Jiang State disagrees?
With a lot of questions in his mind, Huyan Que stayed for a while longer and talked about some irrelevant topics. In the end, Han Xiao was so sleepy that he yawned.
Huyan Que then stood up and took his leave, and Chu Jinglin asked Han Xiao to escort him out of the palace.
It just so happened that Han Xiao was indeed a little tired, so it would be nice to go out for a walk.
After all, Huyan Que and Han Xiao had met once before. After following Han Xiao out, Huyan Que let out a long sigh.
Han Xiao couldn't help but look at him with amusement, thinking to himself, is Chu Jinglin so scary?
Why is it that when Hu Yanqu sees Chu Jinlai, he acts like a mouse seeing a cat?
Seeing Han Xiao laugh, Hu Yanjue said with a wry smile: "Brother Han, please stop laughing at me."
Brother Han shook his head and said, "No, no, I just think you don't need to be so cautious. His Majesty Chu... is quite amiable..."
Amiable? Hu Yanjue looked at Han Xiao strangely. He didn't expect that Chu Jinglin was like this in Han Xiao's heart.
Seeing that Huyan Que didn't believe him, Han Xiao shrugged and didn't continue to persuade him. He just patted his shoulder and comforted him silently.
He had a pretty good impression of Hu Yanqu.
"Haha, it seems that His Majesty and Brother Han have a very good relationship..."
Huyan Que said with a forced smile.
"It's okay, that's all. But Brother Huyan, how long do you plan to stay in Jiang Kingdom? If I have time, I can take you around the capital." Brother Han asked casually, touching his chin.
Speaking of this issue, Hu Yanjue suddenly frowned: "I am dissatisfied with Brother Han. I came here to ask for marriage. If His Majesty does not agree... Sigh..."
His teacher suggested to him that he should marry the princess to Jiang State. If there is no such marriage, Beidi will not be able to withstand the iron hoof of Jiang State.
What's more, General Huo is now in his prime, and he was very nervous when he came to the capital this time.
Fortunately, the Emperor of Jiang kept his word and did not really make things difficult for him.
As he spoke, Huyan Que suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Xiao. He didn't know why the Emperor of Jiang Kingdom did not agree to the marriage, but he could ask Han Xiao.
Considering that he and Han Xiao have met once, Han Xiao should agree.
Suddenly, Hu Yanjue looked at Han Xiao with a strange look in his eyes. Han Xiao got goose bumps all over his body and asked unhappily, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Is there something on my face? Han Xiao couldn't help but touch his face.
Hu Yanjue grabbed Han Xiao's arm and said earnestly, "I...I want to ask Brother Han for a favor..."
The wound on Brother Han's arm had not yet healed completely, and after being grabbed by Huyan Que, Brother Han felt that his arm was about to break.
What did Hu Yanque use to grow up? How come he is so strong?
"Let go first..." Brother Han said with a breath of cold air.
Realizing that something was wrong with Han Xiao, Hu Yanjue quickly let go of his hand and frantically tried to check Han Xiao's arm: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were injured."
Han Xiao pulled his arm out, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Huyan, how can you beg others like this..."
Seeing that Han Xiao could still joke with him, Hu Yanqu knew that Han Xiao was not angry, and his impression of Han Xiao immediately improved a little.
"I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry." Hu Yanjue said honestly, completely different from his wretched elder brother.
