Chapter 121
Disciple Continued 14
Although Yan Hao didn't say his purpose of coming to Lei Yuan at the beginning, Tao Yuan had already guessed that he was definitely going to retreat.
If Yan Hao wants to retreat, he must have Lei Yuan's consent, otherwise, he must stay here until Lei Yuan announces his retreat. Because it was agreed long ago that the two martial kings can expand their sphere of influence in Beiliangguan with their strength, but there are also areas that each must be responsible for. Both parties have already written a letter of commitment and handed it to Emperor Wen.
Now that Yan Hao suddenly wants to retreat, he must let Lei Yuan take over the area he is responsible for, but taking over his place will not benefit Lei Yuan, and as long as he does not agree to take over, Yan Hao will always Consume troops and strength. Therefore, for Lei Yuan to agree, Yan Hao must pay some price.
Last time he borrowed grain and grass and lent to Yan Hao, Yan Hao agreed to double the grain and grass back to Lei Yuan and gave up part of his rights to Lei Yuan. Now he came to ask Lei Yuan again, naturally he had to pay more than before.
In fact, Yan Hao did not return to the capital when he retired. It would be too embarrassing for him to return to the capital like this. He wanted to go to Bei'an City in his heart, but Lei Yuan couldn't agree, even if it was the city around Bei'an City, Lei Yuan couldn't let him go. Therefore, after Yan Hao retreated, he could only retreat to a place several cities away from Bei'an City at most.
Yan Hao retired this time and surrendered a lot of power to Lei Yuan. If he really gave up fighting for power with Lei Yuan, it was absolutely impossible, and no one would believe it. The reason why Yan Hao retreated was to preserve his strength and then wait for the opportunity. And he didn't go back to the capital, not only because it would be too embarrassing to go back like this, but also to make his soldiers fully adapt to life in the north.
It is impossible for Lei Yuan not to know what he thinks, but Lei Yuan agreed to let him retreat because he was able to get a lot of rights from Yan Hao before he moved the capital, and because he had enough confidence in himself and deliberately gave He was a breathing space, but he would never let his idea succeed.
After confirming with Yan Hao, Qu Feng cried happily for a long time after knowing that he was really going to retreat, even if he was not going back to the capital, but as long as he didn't continue to live in fear and fear, he would be extremely grateful.
Yan Hao looked at Qu Feng, his face and heart were full of disgust, and when he thought of Tao Yuan's face, he felt that he had been caught by something evil, and he chose not to choose such a person. this person. If it hadn't been for the affection of the previous life, Yan Hao would have thrown Qu Feng away, leaving him to fend for himself, and he might still be with him now.
Because Miao Chen was coming soon, Tao Yuan asked Lei Yuan to send him back to Hancheng, waiting for Miao Chen in advance.
A few days later, Tao Yuan received a report, knowing that Miaochen had finally arrived, and immediately went out to greet him.
"Daddy!" Tao Yuan hadn't seen Miao Chen for several months and ran toward him happily.
"A Yun." Miao Chen just got out of the carriage, smiling at Tao Yuan who was walking towards him.
"Daddy, where is my brother?" Tao Yuan asked excitedly.
"Sleeping inside." Miao Chen turned his head and looked at the carriage, his attendant was carrying the child out of it.
"Give me a hug." Tao Yuan walked over immediately and took the child from the attendant.
Tao Yuan looked at the white and tender child in his arms and said, "Little Quli, do you know me? I am your brother."
"He still doesn't recognize people, let alone he is still asleep, so I can hear you talking." Li Miao said with a smile.
"Let's go, Dad, let's go in and say, I'll let the chef cook your favorite dishes, and take a good rest when you are full." Tao Yuan hugged his brother and walked in with Miao Chen.
Tao Yuan had just eaten in the morning and his stomach was not hungry, so he hugged his brother, watched Miao Chen eat while talking to Miao Chen.
"Before I came, I went to the palace to see Xiao'er. He has grown up a lot, but his face is still so round." Miao Chen said.
Tao Yuan couldn't help laughing. "The king kept saying that his face was too round. I think that the face of the newly born child is round, and he will definitely not be round when he grows up. But when I heard Dad say that, I too Start to worry, what if he still has a round face when he grows up."
"What is there to worry about, because you are now fatter, so your face is round. You were the same when you were a kid. When you get bigger, your face will not be round."
Tao Yuan smiled, looked down at Qu Li in his arms, and missed Heavenly Thunder even more.
"One thing, maybe you don't know yet." The smile on Miaochen's face suddenly disappeared.
"What's the matter?" Tao Yuan looked at Miao Chen's appearance and suddenly became serious.
"Your second uncle is dead." Miao Chen said.
"Second Uncle is dead? How did he die?" Tao Yuan wondered, how could a good person suddenly die.
"He led troops to suppress the water bandits, but was killed by the water bandits."
"He leads soldiers? What ability does he have to lead soldiers?" Tao Yuan felt a little ridiculous. "A man who doesn't even know martial arts and has not experienced any bitterness, is it too ridiculous to lead troops to destroy water bandits? "
"In fact, he is not the main general, just follow to make up the number and earn some credit. Because Qu Feng is the only side king who followed King Yanwu to Beiliangguan, and also the most hopeful side king who gave birth to the eldest son of King Yanwu. In order to please him, the people of this faction just..."
Tao Yuan smiled. He didn't care whether the original owner's second uncle was alive or dead. There are more people in this world who die every day. To him, the original owner's second uncle is just like those who don't matter. And he was a little gloating, because the second uncle of the original owner died, and the saddest one was definitely the old lady Qu who loved his son.
Before this little son, Old Madam Qu could be very ruthless to harm Qu Cang. Now that this little son is dead, she must be heartbroken and uncomfortable. Tao Yuan feels happy when he thinks about it. Without him, they just It starts to destruct and destroys itself. This is called retribution for evil.
Although the original owner's second uncle also has two sons, they are all spoiled. It is fortunate not to cause trouble, and it is impossible to become a master at all.
Lao Taijun Qu, a white-haired person to a black-haired person, has indeed broken his heart and is bedridden. She never thought that the only son in her heart would actually walk in front of her, and the sadness could not be stopped, so he fell ill.
Miao Chen rested in Hancheng for two days, and then went to Qu Cang's barracks. Tao Yuan left Qu Li and he took care of it.
Miaochen left Cold City, Tao Yuan also took Qu Li to Lei Yuan's barracks.
Tao Yuan held Qu Li and watched him play with bubbles with his eyes open. He felt very cute and looked at him with a smile all the way.
After entering the barracks, Tao Yuan held Qu Li and got out of the carriage supported by the frost and rain.
Tao Yuan had just stood on the ground and was about to go to the camp, when a white object suddenly rushed out, and as fast as lightning, it directly rushed towards Qu Li in Tao Yuan's arms. Tao Yuan was shocked, too late to see what it was, and immediately activated a lot of spiritual power to bounce the thing out, even the people next to him were bounced away by Tao Yuan's spiritual power.
Tao Yuan had lingering palpitations and couldn't take care of other things, so he quickly checked whether Qu Li in his arms was injured. Qu Li was frightened and cried, Tao Yuan earnestly confirmed that he was not injured, but was frightened, and then hugged him and clapped.
Jiangshuang and Yuyu got up first. Jiangshuang endured the pain and picked up the white thing. He mentioned to Tao Yuan and said, "Wang Jun, is a spirit fox."
"Where did the spirit fox come from?" Tao Yuan frowned, and said unhappily, "The spirit fox is extremely wild and can hurt people the most. How can no one guard it, let this beast beast!"
Because the spirit fox almost hurt Qu Li, Tao Yuan was very angry. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, Qu Li would be seriously injured by the spirit fox. Such a little old child is injured by the spirit fox, it is very likely that he will not even have his life.
The spirit fox was injured by Tao Yuan's spiritual power, his mouth bleeds and his body twitches, but he is not dead yet.
Fang Ce happened to lead the soldiers passing by. After seeing Tao Yuan, he immediately came to Tao Yuan to salute him, "Meet the king."
"Leader Fang, this spirit fox..."
"Xue Ji!"
Before Tao Yuan's words were finished, he was interrupted by a yell. Tao Yuan turned to look. A handsome, white-faced brother ran over here quickly, and behind this brother, he followed A person who looks exactly the same.
Tao Yuan thought to himself, twins?
"Xue Ji! Give Xue Ji back to me!" The brother ran over to snatch the spirit fox, but was avoided by Jiangshuang. Because there was no order from Tao Yuan, this spirit fox who almost hurt Qu Li, Jiangshuang Can't return it to him.
Qu Li cried and smoked, Tao Yuan felt very distressed and didn't want to spare the fox lightly.
"Ben Wangqing asked you to return Xue Ji to me, did you hear that?!" Sang Wen shouted at Jiangshuang angrily.
"Awen, calm down." Sang Yun seized Sang Wen to persuade.
"Brother, they hurt Xue Ji, how can you calm me down?!"
"They are..." Tao Yuan asked, looking at Fang Ce.
"Return to Lord Wang, these two are Wang Qing from the Sang country, and they were brought by Prince Sang." Fang Ce said.
"This is your spirit fox?" Tao Yuan asked as he looked at Sang Wen.
"How about my spirit fox? Don't hurry up and return Xue Ji to me. If my Xue Ji has something good or bad, I want you to bury it with him!" Sang Wen stared at Tao Yuan and said loudly.
"Presumptuous!" Fang Ce roared to Sang Wen, "Dare to let our king bury a beast, do you Sang Guo want to fight our Donglai country?"
Sang Wen and Sang Yun were immediately stunned. They didn't expect Tao Yuan to be King Lei Wu. Sang Wen was too excited just now, and Sang Yun was anxious to persuade Sang Wen, so they didn't hear Fang Ce call Tao Yuan King.
"It turns out that it is His Royal Highness, we are rude, and we hope you don't care about it." Sang Yun leaned slightly to Tao Yuan, and then pulled Lasangwen's sleeve to signal him to apologize quickly.
Sang Wen glanced at Linghu with a heartache, and then leaned quickly unwillingly.
Tao Yuan glanced at them and walked directly to the camp with Qu Li in his arms.
Jiangshuang also mentioned the half-dead spirit fox in his hand. He asked the attendant to find the cage, put the spirit fox in, and then walked into the camp with the cage.
"Xue Ji..." Sang Wen wanted to follow up to get Ling Fox back, but Sang Yun caught him.
"Awen, donโt forget the purpose of our coming here, and donโt forget what the emperor brother told us before we came. The emperor said that King Leiwu loves his Wangjun very much. If we offend him now, He blows the pillow breeze to King Lei Wu. We may not be able to marry King Lei Wu."
"But Xue Ji was given to me by my father. I have raised it for so many years, so don't you just watch it die like this?!"
"Is Xue Ji important, or is our happiness important in the future? Didn't you say that after meeting King Lei Wu, you made up your mind to marry him?" Sang Yun looked at him and said seriously, "I did it a long time ago. I told you that you usually indulge Xue Ji too much. If Xue Ji really hurts the child in his arms today, he will cause a catastrophe."
"Could it be that you really want to abandon Xue Ji?" Sang Wen has been raising Xue Ji for so many years, and he already has feelings in his heart, so he can't bear it.
"Don't say it's a Xue Ji, even ten Xue Ji, you must give up today. If you can't help it, I will tell the emperor brother, let him send you back, let the father find you a suitable husband in the court. , I'll stay and marry King Lei Wu."
"No!" Sang Wen opened his eyes wide, and said excitedly, "It is said that we are going to marry King Lei Wu together. This is the original plan. We look exactly the same. It will be easier to lure Lei Wu together. , How can you marry him alone?!"
"If you don't want to be sent back, go with me to apologize to the king later, and do all of what I said, you know?"
"I know, I just listen to you." Although Sang Wen is spoiled and domineering, he is not a completely brainless person, and he knows that Sang Yun is smarter and calmer than him. Listen to him. You can't go wrong.
