Ye Heng rolled his eyes at Yun Yan and said to Liu Qinghuan, "I'm not."
Liu Qinghuan was confused.
Not what?
Isn't it by talking to the Marshal of Zhui State like this that you can take his head?
She's not stupid, of course she knows!
"You guys chat, I'll ask the kitchen to cook some dishes." Liu Qinghuan felt that if he stayed behind when the three of them reunited, they would never be able to talk. Now that they had shown their faces and got to know each other, it was enough. He still had to leave some space for them to reminisce about the past.
Ye Heng grabbed Liu Qinghuan's hand, not wanting her to leave.
"Stop making trouble." Liu Qinghuan mouthed the word "be good" and managed to coax the person into silence.
After Liu Qinghuan left, Yun Yan punched Ye Heng on the shoulder: "Well done, your cousin, you are not in trouble, you are clearly enjoying happiness."
"Are you itchy?"
Ye Heng looked at his cousin who was always on the verge of falling down after being beaten for three days, and was not moved by his beauty at all.
"no."
Threatened by his cousin, Yun Yan sat down obediently, holding the teacup.
"Let's get down to business," Ye Heng retracted his threatening gaze, "How much does the court know about my situation here?"
"The memorials were passed up one level at a time. Although the Emperor hasn't said it explicitly yet, I guess everyone with spies in the court knows you're here." Situ Yue took a sip of tea and tasted it. "Not bad."
In this small restaurant, he had never tasted tea before, and the taste was very different from any tea he had tasted before, with a very strong aroma of millet.
"This is the barley tea made by Qinghuan. It smells very good." When talking about Liu Qinghuan, Ye Heng's eyebrows were raised.
"Okay, cousin, let's talk about business." Yun Yan couldn't stand it anymore. She was just a woman, why did she act like she was possessed?
"Oh, let's get down to business," Ye Heng said unhappily. "Have you ever heard of the Xie family? Or any family related to the Xie family?"
Yun Yan said, "I do know a family that deals in antiques. They do quite a bit of business. I sometimes buy things from them as gifts for my mother."
"Why, is the matter you are investigating related to the Jie family?" Situ Yue asked.
"No, a small branch of the Xie family is in Yuncheng and has caused me some trouble. Xiuye, when you go back, help me deal with them."
Yun Yan played with the walnut in his hand and said, "I'd like to know how they got into trouble with you."
"It's none of your business."
Ye Heng had a cold face.
"Tsk, it must be very embarrassing. Alas... a dignified second-rank General Qingguang has fallen to such a state that even a small branch of a merchant family can run wild over you." Yun Yan is a gold medalist in the Death Squad. He has been complaining about Ye Heng while being beaten since he was a child. "Come back with us, be your majestic general, and take your little wife with you. When the time comes, I will ask my father to give her an imperial decree or something."
"Is it the Emperor's wish that I go back?"
"No, isn't it only natural that General Qingguang should return to the court? Is there any need for my father to issue an order?"
Ye Heng clenched the cup tightly, thought for a long time, and said, "Now that the war has just ended, the border is relatively stable. I am just a warrior, and there is not much I can do to help."
"You mean you won't go back with us?" From the moment Situ Yue saw Liu Qinghuan, she knew that she couldn't take this person away.
"Um."
"How can you be guaranteed to be safe here? Even if you are a martial arts master, how can you survive in this restaurant?" Situ Yue asked.
Hearing this, Ye Heng's eyes dimmed slightly: "I lost my guards in Xuncheng. Otherwise, with them, this place would be safe. But now, I'm afraid they..."
