"Okay, okay. An Lan and I haven't eaten yet." The young master happily hugged Han Xiao's arm. Anyway, from what Han Xiao said, it seemed that he didn't blame them.
Liu Anlan also nodded and decided to go back, otherwise that idiot Lu Qingyun would hug him and cry again.
After making the decision, Han Xiao said to Huo Xinyan, "Then General Huo, I will take them both back first."
Huo Xinyan walked up to the young master, touched his head, and said, "I may not have time to teach you recently. You must practice well at home, okay?"
Although General Huo did not allow her to investigate the affairs of the Beidi royal family any further, Huo Xinyan felt that the purpose of their visit this time was not simple, and judging from General Huo's appearance, he seemed to know something.
This made Huo Xinyan feel that General Huo was hiding something from her. She had always been a disobedient person, and since General Huo didn't allow her to investigate, she had to investigate anyway.
But at this time I can’t take care of the young master and the others. The good news is that the young master has basically learned everything.
It's no problem to catch a few rabbits during the autumn hunt.
The young master nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Sister Xinyan, I will definitely urge Anlan to practice."
Liu Anlan, who was stretching, looked at the young master helplessly and thought to himself, I am much more self-disciplined than you, okay?
What the young master learned in two months, Liu Anlan learned almost in just ten days.
However, they tacitly agreed not to tell the young master about this matter, so as not to hurt his self-esteem.
After leaving the military camp, Han Xiao drove the carriage home. The two boys had a good sleep and continued to chatter in the carriage. It seemed that they had endless things to say.
When he returned home, the chef had already prepared dinner and Lu Qingyun was waiting in the living room.
It seems that both of them have discovered that their wives have not returned home yet, so they came to the house in person.
Lu Qingyun seemed to be very busy, with a lot of stubble on his chin.
When Han Xiao saw him, he said teasingly, "I haven't seen you these past few days. Where have you been?"
Lu Qingyun went to hold Liu Anlan's hand first, and touched his chin when he heard Han Xiao's joke: "Hey, don't say it, it's not Beidi's business."
"Oh? Beidi?" What happened today? General Huo and Huo Xinyan had a dispute over this matter.
The same thing happened to Lu Qingyun. Now it was Han Xiao's turn to be curious: "How come there is any progress on the matter of the Beidi royal family?"
Han Xiao asked everyone to sit down first, and then poured tea for Lu Qingyun.
As for the young master and Liu Anlan, they had freshly squeezed juices, which the young men liked to drink.
"Alas, is it because of the internal unrest in Beidi? It's similar to what you guessed at the beginning. The old emperor of Beidi is probably dying, and the eldest prince of Beidi has come to ask for peace."
Asking for peace? Han Xiao was puzzled. Hadn't the Northern Di been driven back to their homeland by General Huo? Why were they asking for peace?
Seeing Han Xiao's puzzled expression, Lu Qingyun continued proudly, "Let me tell you, the Great Prince of Beidi is already on his way. Their purpose this time is not only to seek peace, but also because the old emperor has ordered him to come to us to borrow troops..."
It turned out that after being beaten at his doorstep by General Huo, the old emperor of Beidi fell seriously ill. However, the old emperor had an uncle who pretended to be stupid and escaped the old emperor's pursuit. He recuperated for more than ten years and now wanted to take advantage of the old emperor's illness to drag him down from the throne.
Now the power of this imperial uncle is not small, and the old emperor has suffered heavy blows one after another. If this continues, the old emperor will definitely lose his throne, so the old emperor sent the eldest prince of Beidi to ask for peace and borrow troops.
The eldest prince of Beidi was named Huyan Sui. He was a prince whom the old emperor of Beidi loved very much. His personality and appearance were very similar to the old emperor.
If nothing unexpected happens, the throne should belong to Hu Yansui after the old emperor's death.
But now Huyan Cuo has intervened, and with Huyan Sui's current ability, he is completely unable to defeat Huyan Cuo, so he can only ask Jiang State to borrow troops.
However, from what Lu Qingyun meant, this time they were not only here to borrow troops. In order to maintain friendly relations between the two countries, the old emperor of Beidi also specially asked Huyan Sui to come and ask for marriage. In the past, marriage was considered one of the best ways to ensure stability on the border.
After listening to Lu Qingyun's words, Han Xiao fell into deep thought. According to Lu Qingyun, the eldest prince of Beidi was still on the way.
Who was that Northern Di royal family member that he saw? It couldn't possibly be Hu Yancuo.
Huyan Cuo is the uncle of the old emperor of Beidi. It sounds like he should be older than the old emperor, not that young.
The Northern Di royal family member that he saw was only about twenty years old.
"Qingyun, have you found out who the Northern Di people are who are now in the capital?" Han Xiao felt that this matter was not that simple.
Lu Qingyun's face was also solemn when he said this: "Well, we found out that it was the second prince of Beidi, Zhao Yunjue."
"Huyan Que? Is he here to seek peace too?" Han Xiao asked tentatively.
Lu Qingyun just said that Hu Yansui's personality is very similar to the old emperor. If Hu Yansui became the emperor, his brothers would definitely die without a burial place.
Thinking about it this way, I seem to understand the purpose of Hu Yangui's visit.
Just to see who these two princes are cooperating with,
Currently, among the three princes of Jiang State, only the fifth prince's grandfather has military power, so this time Hu Yansui may come into contact with the fifth prince first.
After thinking it through, Han Xiao probably understood why General Huo didn't let Huo Xinyan investigate further. This was almost a matter of power struggle, and it was really not appropriate for them to get involved.
However, Han Xiao believed that Chu Jinglin had his own countermeasures, so Han Xiao was not worried. Now he just waited for Hu Yansui to arrive in the capital first.
Even if they make any small moves, General Huo can beat them back home once and beat them back a second time.
What's more, General Huo's army is now armed to the teeth compared to before. If Hu Yansui doesn't show any tact this time, Han Xiao feels that he may not be able to return home.
It seemed that it had nothing to do with him at the moment, so Han Xiao let go of Lu Qingyun and his wife, picked up the sleepy young master and took him back to his room to rest.
The news of Hu Yansui's arrival spread throughout the capital like crazy.
As their team was getting closer and closer to the capital, the only thing people talked about in the teahouses in the capital was the Beidi issue.
Moreover, there were two factions regarding the Northern Di coming to seek peace.
One group believed that the Northern Di people were not good people and held an opposing view, advocating to attack them directly and kill them while they were weak.
The other faction was much more peaceful. They focused on ensuring that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and did not want any further disputes. It just so happened that the Northern Di came to ask for peace, and as long as they showed sincerity, the State of Jiang could lend them troops.
Now the two factions are arguing with each other over their own opinions, not only among the people but also in the court.
