"No, let me test it out first before making a decision." Xiao Le thought about it and made a decision.
Since this father appeared here in casual clothes, even if he planned to attack the three cities of Xuzhou, he would not be so quick.
The eldest brother has already been in contact with his father, and now he has the opportunity to meet him. Xiao Le thinks that God knows that he also wants to see his father, so he has made such an arrangement.
Xiaole, who had always been calm, was really excited now and wanted to go up and say hello to his father right away.
After whispering some instructions to the people around him, Xiao An took a deep breath and walked around looking at the items on the roadside stalls.
Seeing that the distance between him and his father was getting closer and closer, Xiao Le felt that his heart needed to be pressed with his hands.
"Hey, Master, look, isn't that right?" At the same time, someone from He Zexu's group coming from the opposite side saw Xiao Le and excitedly pulled the Master's arm with his hand.
He Zexu, who had been distracted just now, thinking about the three cities of Xuzhou, was disturbed by his subordinates. He was about to scold him, but when he followed his gaze and looked over, he was immediately stunned.
I was still thinking just now. I hope I can meet General An this time. First, I can apologize for my recklessness, and then see if I can ask him to bring a message to Mrs. Gu about Xuzhou.
Things about the Three Cities.
When he came to Yuncheng and walked around the three cities of Xuzhou, He Zexu had an idea in his mind. It would be best if the matters in the three cities of Xuzhou could be resolved through negotiation without using force.
He is not afraid of war, but seeing the people here living and working in peace and contentment, he really can't bear to destroy such stability.
Just when I was thinking about how to meet General An, he suddenly appeared in front of me!
He Zexu didn't know if this was a coincidence? Or was he really destined to be with this young and promising general?
He raised his feet and ran toward the other party. When he was still two or three meters away, the other party happened to look over.
Xiao Le looked at his father who was so close, and the expression on his face was obviously very excited, but how should he greet his father appropriately?
"General An, what a coincidence?" He Zexu greeted pretending to be calm.
This greeting reminded Xiao Le who was at a loss what to do. Yes, dad has met his eldest brother. He and his brother look almost exactly the same. He only has his mother, Master Leng, and Aunt Fu.
Only those around you can tell the difference.
Since dad recognizes him as the eldest brother, he can just use his identity as the eldest brother first.
"Prince Ji, why are you here?" Xiao Le suppressed his excitement and tried to imitate his elder brother's reaction.
"You?" He Zexu was startled when he heard this word. He was even more annoyed at his impulsiveness that time. Look, how much does General An mind? He used you so unfamiliarly in greetings!
Although his identity is a prince, it is normal for others to address him as "you", but he still liked that General An used the word "you" directly.
"I came here to do some errands, and happened to meet up with the temple fair, so I came here to take a stroll. Since we met by chance, would General An find a convenient place to catch up on old times?" He Zexu didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly.
Several of the followers around him felt a little uncomfortable when they saw this scene. The master had a distinguished status, and others had always taken the initiative to curry favor with him.
However, the master said to this young general,
Everyone felt that the master treated him like this because he owed him a huge favor.
He Zexu's suggestion was exactly what Xiao Le wanted. He looked at both sides of the street and said, "It's almost noon, why not go to a restaurant?" It's really inappropriate to go to a teahouse at this time.
The key point is that Xiao Le has selfish motives. The more he drinks tea in a teahouse, the more energetic he becomes. What words can he come up with?
It's better to go to a restaurant and drink a bottle of wine, and if you don't believe him, he won't tell the truth.
If one jar of wine can't solve the problem, then use two jars or three jars. Anyway, wine has no reaction at all to him, just like drinking water.
Xiao Le didn't know what happened to him. Anyway, when he was eight or nine years old, he and his elder brother were naughty and secretly drank the good wine that the master had hidden in the cellar. The elder brother was drunk for three days before he woke up, but he didn't do anything.
No.
"Okay, let's go to Dongshun Restaurant. I heard that the sweet and sour fish made by his chef is very good. General An, you also like to eat it." He Zexu immediately suggested.
He had explored the place a long time ago, but he hadn't had time to taste the dish since he arrived.
After hearing this, Xiao Le nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them walked forward side by side.
Sweet and sour fish is what my eldest brother and sister like to eat, but he doesn't like it very much. But this question is not important.
The two men walked side by side, one high and one low, without saying anything else.
It's not that they both have nothing to say, it's that they don't know what to say.
"General An left in a hurry last time and didn't even take the thank you gift with him." He Zexu felt that he was older and should speak first.
Xiao Le naturally understood what the thank you gift was about, and asked with a smile: "There was an emergency at the time, but I don't know what the thank you gift from Prince Ji was?"
"It's five hundred war horses. Although it's a little hard to get, it's what the king can prepare. I think it's the most appropriate thank you gift. I'll have someone deliver it to me later. Or maybe, General An, you can arrange for someone to pick it up."
." He Zexu responded.
He didn't know what was going on, but He Zexu felt that it had only been a few months since he last said goodbye to General An, so why had General An changed so much?
This was later, what happened?
When Xiao Le heard that the thank-you gift was a war horse, he did not expect this. He thought that the thank-you gift prepared by his father, who was a prince, was gold, silver, jewelry or something like that!
However, in times like these, war horses are very scarce.
Let’s put it this way, even if you have money in your hands, you may not be able to buy a war horse today.
War horses are really good things for the army!
Originally, Xiao Le didn't really think about accepting any kind of thank-you gift from his father, but now that he heard it was a war horse, he immediately changed his mind.
Dad's status means he can get war horses, so don't give up.
If he politely declined and his elder brother found out afterwards, he would definitely be blamed for a long time.
"Okay, then I will make some arrangements later." Xiao Le quickly agreed.
Because of the war horse, the two men had a topic to talk about. As they talked, they arrived at Dongshun Restaurant. They went in and asked for a private room in the backyard. Xiao Le deliberately told the people around him to go out and wait.
When He Zexu heard this, he immediately asked his subordinates to go out.
In such a large private room, it was just the two of them, father and son.
There was a big round table, and the two of them sat face to face...
