Yan Cheng looked at his younger brother in surprise and asked, "Who told you this?"
Yan Ling was still angry: "No one said it, I just thought about it myself."
Hearing what he said, Yan Cheng said earnestly: "Aling, your idea is not wrong, but not everyone is such a gentleman. Think about how many people your father has helped, and how many of those people have paid back?
If it's just one person and one city, that's fine. It affects the entire Chu region, so we can't take risks."
Normally, Yan Ling would listen to him after a few words of persuasion. But today, the Second Young Master Yan was unhappy and insisted on talking back.
"After all, you just think she's not good."
Yan Cheng laughed angrily: "I still think you are strange, why do you think she is good? In terms of appearance, Miss Xu is about the same, and she has a gentle temperament. Isn't she still good enough for you?"
"It has nothing to do with whether you are worthy or not. I don't like Miss Xu!"
Yan Chenghu said with a face: "Then how much do you like Miss Xu San? How long have you known each other? I think you are just a child who doesn't know what he likes or dislikes."
"Brother!"
The Yan brothers had a quarrel at first when they met, but the Xu sisters were in harmony.
Xu Yin felt refreshed after taking a bath.
Xu Si twirled her hair himself and scolded her endlessly.
"You are so courageous. You only took a few people with you and you dared to go out and assassinate you! Father, too. How dare you agree to your promise without letting me know! I haven't had a good night's sleep since you left.
I feel good that I came back safely..."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Sister, of course I went there because I was sure. Don't you think this is good? Not even a hair is missing."
Xu Si rolled his eyes at her: "How dare you say that! You have a lot of hair. I was so scared that all my hair fell out."
After finishing the scolding, Xu Si was curious again and asked her: "Didn't I say that Wu Zijing was brave and invincible? Why did I ask you to assassinate him? Tell me quickly!"
Naturally, Xu Yin would not say how adventurous he was, so he made up a story about how the second master of Yan was highly skilled in martial arts. He fought with Wu Zijing for three hundred rounds and finally beheaded him...
Xu Si just thought it was true, and he and the maids listened with gusto, praising him repeatedly, and during the dinner, they looked at Yan Ling with gratitude in their eyes.
Thanks to Young Master Yan, Ayin's trip was safe and sound.
The second young master Yan had a quarrel with his elder brother and was not happy at the moment.
Xu Huan asked with concern: "What's wrong with Mr. Yan? Is the food not to your liking?"
Yan Cheng glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Mr. Xu is laughing at you. This kid ran away from home after a disagreement. I just scolded him and he is still not convinced!"
Xu Huan smiled and nodded: "The two young masters have such a deep brotherly relationship, it's really enviable."
With that said, Young Master Yan poured a glass of wine, stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Xu, for taking care of my younger brother these days."
Xu Huan also picked up the wine glass and replied: "Young Master Yan is so polite. It's our turn to thank you. Thanks to Second Young Master Yan, Nanyuan was able to avoid a major crisis. I will definitely write a letter in person to express my gratitude to Duke Zhao."
Afterwards, many officials who came to the banquet toasted to Young Master Yan one by one.
Although Yan Cheng had a good drinking capacity, after three rounds, he was still a little tipsy.
Yan Ling didn't follow him to drink. He was not in high spirits and no one dared to force him.
It was rare to see the prince of Zhaoguo, and everyone had to ask about Tongyang. Later, they talked about the political situation. Yan Ling was not interested and listened with boredom. He couldn't leave early, so he was very impatient.
While he was annoyed, the waiter suddenly shook his hand and spilled half a glass of wine on his sleeve. He quickly apologized: "Damn it, Young Master Yan. Please don't take offense, Mr. Yan."
Yan Ling frowned and was about to go back when she suddenly saw him squeeze his eyes and immediately changed her words: "What's wrong with you? Now your sleeves are all wet."
The boy immediately said: "I will wait for the young master to change his clothes."
Yan Ling looked unhappy: "It's so troublesome..."
Yan Cheng glanced at it and said: "This is too rude, go and change it first."
Yan Ling then stood up to apologize and followed the boy out.
The young man took him out of the hall, went around to the garden on the left, bowed his head and excused himself: "Second Young Master Yan, please wait here for a moment, I excuse myself."
"Hey..." Yan Ling didn't stop him because a voice came from above.
"Second Young Master Yan, here."
Yan Ling turned around and was surprised: "What are you doing?"
There is a figure on the tree, and I don't know what he is doing.
Xu Yin said: "You come up first."
Yan Ling only hesitated for a moment and quickly climbed up.
After climbing up the tree, he discovered that Xu Yin was looking next door.
"What are you looking at?"
"Shh!" Xu Yin made a gesture of silence, which made him dare not speak.
There is a banquet next door, nothing is wrong!
After a while, Xu Yin asked him in a low voice: "When will you leave?"
Yan Ling hesitated for a moment and replied: "In a few days... let's see what my elder brother says."
Xu Yin nodded and said, "Will you be punished when you go back?"
Yan Ling thought for a while: "Father will definitely punish me, but mother will definitely stop him. At worst, I will kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days, and everything will be fine soon."
Xu Yin smiled: "That's good."
Yan Ling still didn't understand: "Why did you ask me to come?"
Xu Yin said: "I'll give you a thank you gift."
"Um?"
Yan Ling soon felt her hand being pulled up and something was put in it.
Xu Yin said softly: "Thanks to you for what happened this time. Although you don't care, I can't help but express it. Remember, I promise you a condition. If you encounter big difficulties in the future, there will be no way out."
When you leave, remember to come find me."
"Huh?" Yan Ling was confused. What is this condition? Why did he encounter such huge difficulties and still have no way out?
But Xu Yin didn't answer. After saying this, she slid down the tree briskly.
Yan Ling looked down and saw her standing under the tree. She waved to him and said softly: "Remember, you must come to me when the time comes."
After saying this, she turned around and left. The girl's brisk figure quickly disappeared in the courtyard.
Yan Ling stared blankly for a while, until her figure disappeared, then she lowered her head and grabbed the token.
This is a kit, and inside...it seems to be a sleeve arrow.
…
After the banquet was over, Xu Huan returned to the courtyard and drank hangover soup under the waiter of the waiter.
"Sir." Ji Jing followed and asked, "How is it?"
Xu Huan shook his head and said, "It seems we have to consider something else."
Ji Jing looked surprised: "Prince Yan refused?"
Xu Huan nodded lightly: "I just hinted, but Prince Yan didn't seem to understand. He definitely didn't really understand, he just didn't agree."
Ji Jing sighed regretfully: "I thought that marrying Duke Zhao would be a good marriage, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't think so. What a pity, Mr. Yan."
