Xiao Le, who had been paying attention to his father, felt his heart skip a beat when he followed his gaze to the seal of the letter. He thought to himself, he and his mother were careless.
Feeling the flash of annoyance on Xiao Le's face, He Zexu felt very relaxed.
No matter what, getting in touch with Mrs. Gu is a good start.
He took out the letter paper and unfolded it. The words on the paper were written in a round, graceful and graceful style. This was the first time he saw this kind of font, and he admired it at just a glance.
After reading the content, his first reaction was that maybe there was no one else behind Mrs. Gu.
After a moment of silence, he read the letter from beginning to end again.
Xiao Le, who was sitting opposite, didn't know what was in the letter. He was holding a cup of tea and sipping it while still paying attention to his father's expression and reaction.
He Zexu can now conclude that Mrs. Gu is in Cloud City at this time because of the ink marks on the paper.
"General An, please wait a moment." After He Zexu finished speaking, he stood up and went to the desk to polish his pen.
Xiao Le wanted to get up and follow him to see what his father had written, but when he thought about it, it seemed wrong, so he had to sit patiently and continue.
"General An, would you like to accompany me to the capital for a walk?" He Zexu, who had raised his pen, turned to ask instead of finishing it.
Huh? Xiaole didn't expect his father to ask this, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Of course I am willing, but the current situation in these five cities must be known to the prince, and this general cannot be separated from him at the moment." Xiao Le told with regret.
Such a response did not surprise He Zexu. He nodded and looked at the paper in front of him again. So far, there was not a single word on it.
Because, for a moment, he didn't know what to write.
The content of Mrs. Gu's letter was not long. She only stated that she would not hand over the three cities of Xuzhou. However, she could guarantee that she would never proclaim herself king. As long as she was alive, she would never hand over the three cities of Xuzhou.
These three cities were handed over to other countries.
As long as An Yuguo does not forcefully force her, she will never do anything detrimental to An Yuguo. The last sentence is to hope that King Ji will succeed, and the signature is, Gu Shen.
Gu Sheo, this name is very strange!
The surname Gu is very rare. When I first looked up Mrs. Gu, I couldn't find anything.
Later, my subordinates changed their mind and searched for ancient surnames, but it was still a waste of time.
He Zexu thought at that time that Mrs. Gu's name was probably fake. However, due to various busy schedules and a shortage of manpower, he temporarily put aside the matter of checking Mrs. Gu's identity.
At this moment, looking at the short and straightforward letter in his hand, He Zexu did not feel that Mrs. Gu was perfunctory about him.
Maybe she had no choice but to do so!
For example, his wife, Wei Sanniang, is obviously not an ordinary woman, she is courageous and smart, and can endure hardships.
The most important thing is that Sanniang is very optimistic. The refugees around her are all sighing and complaining, but she is the only one who is calm and calm, not pessimistic or complaining.
On the way to Broken Soul Valley, the government was giving out porridge. There were only a few grains of rice in the bowl. The other refugees secretly cursed the people in charge of the government for being stingy and deducting the rice given by the court.
As for Sanniang, she said that no matter how thin the rice porridge is, it is better than water. No matter how hungry you are after drinking it, you can at least save your life from starving to death.
As long as you don't starve to death, there is still hope for everything.
After arriving in Broken Soul Valley, she was also short of food and rice, but she was able to live a hard life better than others.
When others were complaining, she was still in the mood to dig wild flowers and plant them at home, and she also leisurely cooked wild tea for him.
He Zexu suddenly shook his head and looked at Mrs. Gu's letter. He wanted to write a reply to Mrs. Gu. Why was he thinking about Sanniang again?
However, because he thought of Sanniang and about Mrs. Gu, he suddenly thought that they were all different women? They all had their own difficulties.
If Mrs. Gu really has no ambition to become king, then why did she occupy three cities in Xuzhou and two cities in other countries?
If she had no ambition, she would not do this, unless her last resort was to have enough power to survive? To protect herself?
After much hesitation, He Zexu finally started writing. The content was shorter and more concise than Mrs. Gu's.
After the ink was dry, he folded it and gave it to Xiao Le without even looking for the envelope: "General An, please give it to Mrs. Gu."
Xiao Le accepted the letter and looked at the father who sometimes called him little brother and sometimes called him General An. He seemed to be used to it.
I thought in my heart, Dad, you can shout as much as you want, as long as you are happy.
"I wonder what your prince's plans are tomorrow? Let's have tea together?" Xiao Le asked after hesitating after putting the letter away.
It doesn't matter whether I drink tea or not. The point is, I still want to give my mother a chance. Maybe she will change her mind tomorrow and want to see my father.
"Well, I may not be able to drink this tea with General An for the time being. Now that I have received Mrs. Gu's letter and know her thoughts, I can't make the decision. I have to go back to Beijing to report to my father Ming Dynasty before making a decision." He Zexu also said.
Said with great regret.
Leaving was also a temporary decision he made. He really couldn't make the decision on the affairs of the three cities of Xuzhou, even though he was the prince.
"What, you're leaving?" Xiao Le blurted out.
"Why, is General An reluctant to let me go?" He Zexu asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, speaking from the bottom of his heart. Listening to his expression like this, his heart felt inexplicably warm.
Did he really not understand what was going on with him? Did he lack care at this age? Otherwise, how could he be moved by the words of a half-year-old child?
In fact, Xiao An regretted it after he said it.
With this kind of relationship with my father on the surface, would it make my father feel weird if I unconsciously reveal my true feelings?
Obviously they wanted to become brothers, but they didn't agree!
However, once you have said it, you cannot take it back, and it is not appropriate to change your words.
Simply, let's go on: "Is it possible that the prince is willing to leave this general?" When Xiao Le said this, he didn't feel nauseous, but he was just curious about how his father would respond to him this time.
If he didn't have that close feeling with himself and his eldest brother, how could he think of becoming sworn sworn sworn friends when he saw his eldest brother for the first time?
This may be a blood relationship, but the father in front of me doesn't know it.
Hearing Xiao Le say this, He Zexu didn't smile. He was startled. Feeling in his heart at this moment, he seemed to be really reluctant to let go!
how so?
Why is this happening?
He racked his brains and couldn't figure it out. He just thought it was because this little brother came to the rescue last time when the border was in danger. So, out of gratitude? Or because the heroes cherish each other?
"I said that I can't bear to leave you, General An, and I want to take you with me so that you can still be a general by my side. Are you willing?" He Zexu suddenly suggested...
