Hearing Xiao An ask this, several people around him shook their heads and looked towards the ground.
Only then did Xiao An notice that there was a person lying there. No, it should be a dead body. He walked forward and leaned over to take a look. Someone was afraid that he could not see clearly and took a light with a torch.
The lying corpse had a black face, and black blood was bleeding from the corners of its mouth, eyes, nose and ears. This was because it had been poisoned.
"Don't you know how to bring more people with you when you go out?" Xiao An said, reaching out to look at the dead bodies, but found nothing.
He Zexu, who has always stood aside, as the prince of Anyu Kingdom, was criticized by a teenage child. It sounded very strange, but to He Zexu, it sounded like the bright sun in winter, which made him laugh.
Everyone's whole body feels warm.
Some people care about their master, and Zhuo Yan and the others don't think Xiao An is rude, but they find him more pleasing to the eye.
Anyway, people who care about their masters and care about their masters are good.
"It's not like marching to fight, what are you doing with so much? Besides, I've long been used to this kind of thing." He Zexu said with a smile.
Hearing what her father said, Xiao An felt even more uncomfortable. It doesn't matter if her father is a prince, look at what kind of life she has been living!
"Since we often encounter this kind of thing, then who is instigating it? Even if the prince doesn't have a clear idea, he should have a general direction, right?" Xiao An wanted to know who wanted to attack his father.
"Nine times out of ten, they are my good brothers, the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's nephew." He Zexu said it so easily.
Xiao An felt heartbroken and frowned. How should he comfort him?
The person who wants me to die is not an outsider, a stranger or an unrelated person, but my brother, brother, and close relative! This matter itself is a sad thing.
"Will my people escort you?" Xiao An thought for a while and said.
Although he wanted to send his father back to Beijing safely in person, he couldn't let go of his mother and younger siblings.
Wucheng looks peaceful now, but in fact it is also full of dangers.
The five cities were kept safe and peaceful by my mother, and I don’t know how many pairs of jealous and greedy eyes were staring at them, waiting for an opportunity to seize them.
At this time, Xiao An only blamed himself for not knowing the clone technique and being able to protect his family separately.
He Zexu smiled and said: "I appreciate General An's kindness. Don't worry, General An. Some of my subordinates will be waiting there just one day's journey ahead."
Xiao An nodded when he heard this: "Then, will the prince rest on the spot tonight, or will he travel all night?"
"We plan to find a clean place to rest and start our journey again tomorrow morning. Would General An want to come with us?" He Zexu asked, looking at the little brother in front of him.
He Zexu didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he just felt that the General An he saw now was a little different from what he saw during the day.
However, it was the same as the first time I saw it at the border.
Could it be that because the other person is young, he will be different after seeing him after experiencing a fight than when he sees him normally?
"Let's go together." Xiao An did not refuse and immediately agreed.
For selfish reasons, he was happy when he heard his father's inquiry, because in this way he could stay with his father for a while longer.
They walked about a mile ahead, looked at the flat and open surroundings, and began to collect firewood.
He Zexu's men took off the felt pads on the horses and laid them out. The two men sat down side by side and watched their respective people in charge of guarding take turns to rest.
At this time, He Zexu also noticed that the people brought by the little brother were in different costumes, some were dressed as woodcutter, some were dressed as hunters, and some were dressed as clerks.
However, no matter what he was wearing, his face was always covered.
I thought that these people should be the personnel arranged by General An in Yuncheng. They should be the personnel who had to be mobilized after learning that they might be in danger.
"Little brother, is it worth doing this for me? Don't forget, maybe we will be enemies when we meet next time?" He Zexu asked with a complicated mood.
Xiao An simply lay down on the ground, put his hands under his head, and put one leg on the other: "We will talk about the future later. At least we are not enemies yet. If you know someone is bad for you, you can't pretend not to know."
He Zexu nodded, followed his example, and lay down.
At this time of year, although the night was a bit cool, the bonfire dispelled the coolness around me.
There are stars above the head, and the breeze blows gently. The wind is filled with the fragrance of pine trees in the deep forest in the distance.
"Little brother, do you want to drink some wine to drive away the cold?" He Zexu asked as he remembered.
"No." Xiao An refused without thinking.
"Don't you like to drink Yuncheng's lotus seed wine? I'm going to the capital. I don't know how long it will be before we meet again. Tonight should be peaceful. Come on, get drunk and then rest.
Maybe you won't be able to drink from me tonight." He Zexu advised.
When Xiao An heard this, he remembered that his father thought Xiao Le was him.
Although they are brothers who were born just one cup of tea apart, when it comes to wine, Xiao Le can never get drunk even if he drinks a thousand cups of wine.
"No, I have stopped drinking, general." Xiao An had no choice but to find an excuse to refuse.
Wine is absolutely forbidden and cannot be drunk even for the longest time.
If you get really drunk, you might tell the secrets of several members of the family, or you might even hug your father and scream.
"By the way, isn't General An's surname An?" Facing this little brother, He Zexu felt that he had become a talker.
"Well, my general's surname is He, so congratulations." Xiao An didn't notice that when he mentioned his last name, the corners of his mouth were rising.
There are many different opinions on the information found about General An before, so He Zexu is still not sure what General An's last name is.
"Congratulations, that little brother and I are really destined to be together. You see, my surname is also He, although it has the same pronunciation but different characters." He Zexu found it quite interesting.
Not far away, Zhuo Yan and others greeted the people brought by Xiao An to eat hot pancakes.
"Our master and General An hit it off right away. Look how happy the master is when he sees General An." A subordinate said in a low voice.
"Yeah, those who didn't know better thought they were the father-in-law and father-in-law." Another person said softly.
But no matter what they said, the people Xiao An brought were always silent and did not answer any questions.
Xiao An was not sleepy at all, chatting with his father.
"Your Majesty, when this general was here, didn't you ever think about how great it would be if this general were your son?" Xiao An didn't know what was going on with him, so he asked with a twitch in his head.
After hearing this, He Zexu thought for a while, then suddenly sat up and asked Xiao An uncertainly: "So, last time at the border, I proposed to become brothers with you, but you refused and left overnight.
Actually, you feel that it is not appropriate for you to be sworn brothers with me, so how about I accept you as my adopted son?"
When his father suddenly sat up, Xiao An thought that his father had thought of something important and wanted to tell him, but he didn't expect that this father was the reincarnation of Thunder God, and he would give his little head a crack at every turn...
