Early in the morning, Yan Daru, who had been thinking about it all night, came to the guest room to block Xu Yue with dark circles under his eyes.
Xu Yue just got up and went out to do morning exercises. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yan Daru with a sluggish expression and stubborn eyes. He was almost shocked.
It was still dark, and the early morning mist surrounded the entire Zhuangzi. In the misty environment, an old and depressed face suddenly appeared, and Xu Yue almost thought she had seen a ghost.
"Mr. Yan?" Xu Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What do you want to do?"
Isn't it because he is relying on his status as an elder to deal with her?
No wonder Xu Yue thought so. When everyone dispersed last night, the old man stared at her gloomily, as if he wanted to kill her to rectify his reputation.
Yan Daru looked at the disheveled little girl in front of him who looked wary, snorted angrily, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"I choose to commit suicide to maintain my integrity!"
"What?" Xu Yue was shocked. She was just so angry that she had nothing to say as a child, so she couldn't think about it and was about to commit suicide?
"Don't be impulsive!" Xu Yue nervously took a step forward and hurriedly shouted into the room: "Dad!"
Come and stop this old man who wants to commit suicide!
Yan Shikuan looked at the horror on the face of the little girl in front of him with cold eyes. Knowing that she had misunderstood, his face became even more gloomy.
"What I'm talking about is the assumption you made yesterday!" Yan Shikuan shouted through gritted teeth.
Thinking that something serious had happened to his daughter, Xu Da, who hurriedly dressed and ran out the door, was stunned.
Xu Yue also paused, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned to face Yan Shikuan, and said seriously:
"The question I gave you is a multiple-choice question. There are only two options, but there is no third one."
"Your answer is incredible."
He couldn't do anything, and Yan Shikuan was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
I'm sorry that he thought about it all night, fought countless times in his mind, and finally made countless choices?
He was angry for a moment and couldn't help asking Xu Yue angrily: "Then if it were you, how would you choose?"
Xu Yue raised the corners of her mouth, showing a bit of childish playfulness, and replied: "I choose to become stronger, before the enemy threatens me, and nip all dangers in the cradle."
Hearing this, Yan Shikuan was happy, as if he had caught Xu Yue's big loophole, and he said happily:
"Aren't you also the third option? You are really a child, and you don't even remember what you said."
Xu Yue didn't panic at all because she was caught in the loophole. She smiled and put her hands on her hips and argued: "Your question is, how should I choose? You didn't say how I would choose if I were a general. What's wrong with my answer?"
Seeing Yan Shikuan suddenly choked and unable to speak, Xu Yue laughed out loud.
That proud look just made her teeth itch, and she wanted to pounce on her and bite her, so that she would know not to be too arrogant.
"You're such a sharp-tongued little girl, I'm so unreasonable that I'm being disturbed by you!" Yan Shikuan held back for a long time before he said such a sentence that had no lethality to Xu Yue.
The little girl laughed enough and felt that the matter should end here, so she stopped laughing, put her little hands behind her back, and said seriously:
"Sir, please don't be angry. I think you have been thinking about it all night, and you must have understood that in your position, you always have a lot of helplessness. In a chaotic situation, no matter what you choose, someone will always get hurt."
"Sir, the reason why you are so angry must be that, like us, you regard the people of the world as your fellow Daqing compatriots, and that is why you are so aggrieved."
Xu Yue held her childish face and sighed with the vicissitudes of life that only adults can have, "It's just that besides you and me, there are many people. The only ones I see are Yuan Dang, Cao Dang, and the royal family..."
Yan Shikuan was stunned. Should these words be spoken by a little girl?
Looking up at Xu Da who was standing by the door, the stubborn old man's heart was unknowingly torn open, giving him the urge to get to know the father and daughter in depth.
"Sir." Xu Yue raised her head and asked tentatively: "The weather has been nice recently, and the academy has not started school yet. If you have free time, why not go sit on my farm and see the wild scenery in the mountains?"
Xu Da also stepped forward, clasped his fists and shouted in a rare serious manner: "Sir."
He said: "Since you don't believe it, go and see with your own eyes. It is true that there are good and bad soldiers under the general's command, but there are also many who care about the people."
"General, he... really cares about the people under his command." That's weird! Xu Da added weakly in his heart.
If these warlords really cared about the people under their command, they would not fight every day for three days and one day for five days.
After all, it is the common people at the lowest level who suffer.
For Yuan, Cao, Sun Wu, Gongsun Zan and others, this is a good era full of opportunities, and one can fly to the sky if not careful.
But for those people who had to leave their homeland, abandon their fields, and become refugees due to war, plague, and natural disasters, this era couldn't be worse.
But everyone knows the truth. You should be more careful about your face.
Yan Shikuan stared at the father and daughter suspiciously for a while, then nodded and dully accepted their invitation.
Xu Yue was ecstatic in her heart and quickly hinted to Yan Shikuan that he could bring more disciples or students from the Yan family there.
As for how to keep people after that, we can wait until they leave.
If no one goes there, all subsequent plans will be in vain.
However, Yan Shikuan was still a little angry. Seeing that his father and daughter suddenly became attentive, he was secretly vigilant and did not give them an accurate answer.
"Sir, are you still angry with me?" Xu Yue immediately smiled with embarrassment and showed a small white tooth. A small black hole appeared in the mouth where a front tooth had just been lost. She was innocent and innocent.
Yan Shikuan looked at it, shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but laugh, "You are such a sharp-tongued little girl, you won't make me worry about you all the time."
"That's all, you're right." He waved his hand and let out a sigh of relief, showing a bit of old age.
"I'm old, really old. I'm old and stubborn. That's me..."
Yan Shikuan sighed softly, turned around to look at the rising sun in the sky, straightened his back, turned and left with trembling steps.
The father and daughter in the courtyard looked at each other in tacit understanding, and said happily that the fish had successfully taken the bait!
Yan Shikuan was ready to follow the Xu family and his daughter to Zhuangzi, and Yan Gu immediately understood the subtle changes.
He was polite to Gongsun An yesterday, but when he sent Xu Yue and his party out today, he actually used the tone of an elder to lecture him affectionately.
Gongsun An was confused as to whether he was Erzhang monk. Looking at Yan Gu's serious face, he seemed to have seen Master Yan whom he met when he was studying abroad when he was young. He was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva and responded hurriedly: "Okay, I will, for sure!"
I really didn’t dare to say even half a word.
When the group came, there were only three carts and ten horses. On the way back, there were two more ox carts and six horses behind the group.
