An Yihou was sitting in his study, listening to the busy sounds outside, and suddenly had the illusion that he had returned to more than ten years ago.
The sword in his hand had been wiped clean, and it sounded like a dragon roaring when he pulled it out gently.
He had been trapped here for too long, and finally one day he walked out and left home. I don't know why he felt so calm at this moment.
"Father."
Xu Qing'an's voice came, and An Yihou put down the sword in his hand and looked over.
After these days of non-stop training, Xu Qingan's skin became tanned, his whole body became much stronger, and he finally looked like a human being.
"Have you finished your homework for today?"
An Yihou asked with a stern face.
"Not yet," Xu Qing'an answered simply, "I'm busy going out, but I will definitely finish it today."
After saying these words, Xu Qing'an had already prepared his knees, preparing to bear the wrath of his father's thunder.
Surprisingly, An Yihou just frowned and then looked out the window: "There are many people coming in and out of the house today, so be careful."
Xu Qingan was a little surprised and responded subconsciously.
"You have grown up too. You can't think about fooling around all day. Your grandmother is not in good health. Don't let her worry about you all the time. Your mother has to run the entire Hou family the hardest. You have to think about helping and protecting.
If your sister encounters a major issue, you should discuss it with your sister more often, but don't rely on her for everything. You have to remember that you are a man and must shoulder the important responsibilities of the family.
In the past, you were uneducated and wandered around the capital. Although it was your nature, you also blamed me for not teaching you well. I have strictly disciplined you these days because I want to make up for your mistakes as a father. I hope you can understand."
An Yihou's heartfelt words made Xu Qing'an completely stunned. Instead of beating or scolding, he gave such a gentle admonishment. Xu Qing'an swallowed it involuntarily.
Marquis An Yi said: "Have you ever thought about joining the army? A real man always has some ambitions."
this problem.
Xu Qingan shook his head: "No..."
An Yihou suppressed the anger in his heart: "I will definitely think in the future, since I have to practice kung fu well and study military books diligently, I will not harm others or myself when I go to the battlefield in the future, you know?"
Still not scolding him, Xu Qingan began to pick his fingers uneasily. What happened to his father?
An Yihou said patiently: "Did you hear that?"
Xu Qingan finally nodded.
"Remember what you promised me today. Once a man has made a promise, it will be hard to keep it," An Yihou said and waved his hand, "Go down."
Xu Qingan was stunned and did not move: "Father, please say a few more words."
An Yihou's heart softened, and he suddenly felt like a father. Looking at Xu Qing'an, he finally remembered his son's lovely appearance when he was a child: "Think more about things, take less detours, and make fewer mistakes, and you will live a more comfortable life."
, it’s okay to just mess around on weekdays. You must not be vague when it comes to big right and wrong, let alone associate with those evil villains. As for other things... you don’t understand what I say now, and what I say is not necessarily right.
of."
"Let's go, let's go." An Yihou waved his hand. Now looking at his son's stunned expression, he felt panicked in his heart. This unscrupulous son seemed to have suddenly become sensible today, and he even took the initiative to ask him to teach him a few more words.
.
Just when he thought about this, An Yihou felt a strong wind coming towards him, and then he was immediately caught in the face, followed by Xu Qing'an's voice: "Hey, that's right, you are my father."
Xu Qing'an looked at An Yihou's downcast face, looking quite innocent: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Meng Lingyun outside the door had already closed his eyes and was taking a nap when he was suddenly woken up by a crackling sound in the room. Such a sound was too familiar to him. It must have been that the prince was beaten unilaterally.
Sure enough, the door opened quickly and Xu Qingan limped out.
Xu Qinghuan happened to walk into the yard. Looking at his brother's appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head: "My brother made my father angry again. My father will go to Changzhou tomorrow."
"I think there's something wrong with dad," Xu Qing'an blinked, "Father and son, we just stretched our muscles a little bit. Now we're fine. Everything is back to normal."
Looking at his giggling brother, Xu Qinghuan sighed secretly. His brother was also worried about his father from the bottom of his heart.
The servants tidied up the things in the study, and then Xu Qinghuan walked in.
Marquis An Yi put away the map in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then said: "You have captured Xie Yun and found out some clues about what happened in Changzhou. Those people must not dare to act rashly. There is going to be a war in Changzhou. You
Just stay in Beijing and ask Uncle Lei to send me a letter if you have any news."
Xu Qinghuan nodded.
An Yihou said seriously: "I know you have an idea, and that's fine in Beijing. If you want to investigate the case, I won't stop you. Not in Changzhou."
Xu Qinghuan said: "If there is nothing urgent, I will definitely stay at home with my grandmother and mother, and wait for my father to return in triumph."
An Yihou looked at his daughter with a determined look in his eyes. He could not hit her again and again, nor scold her. It was not easy to be a father.
Marquis Anyi said: "Have you discovered anything strange now?"
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "No, but father should pay more attention to the people around him. Father has not led troops for a long time, and the deputy generals around him are not people he used to trust. Even the old subordinates must be on guard. You must know that people's hearts are fickle...
When we arrested Xie Yun's men today, Zhang Xing happened to be nearby."
Zhang Xing had already taken action in Zhang Yucong's case, and his reappearance is no accident.
Marquis Anyi became serious: "Who will Zhang Xing serve again?"
"No matter who it is for," Xu Qinghuan said, "my daughter feels that fighting the White Dragon King is not that simple, and her father must take care of himself."
Speaking of this, Marquis Anyi thought of Song Chengxuan: "I don't know what's going on over there in Quanzhou. If you have accurate information, send someone to Quanzhou. Regardless of whether it's useful or not, it's good to take some precautions."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Father in Quanzhou, don't worry." Song Chengxuan will definitely ensure that Quanzhou is safe, and Song Chengxuan will not act rashly on other matters.
My father was determined to eliminate the Zhang family's influence this time, and he was not willing to let others get involved. Everyone had made it clear when he was in the capital that now he just had to do his own thing.
"Anyway, father should be careful."
It's okay to face the White Dragon King, but if there are people with malicious intentions around him, he will be attacked from both sides. This is what Xu Qinghuan is most worried about.
"Let me tie a peace knot in father's armor!" Xu Qinghuan picked up the red silk thread, "Father, don't dislike your daughter for being clumsy."
Before going on an expedition, he tied a peace knot on his armor and prayed for a safe return. An Yihou never believed these things, but... facing his daughter's expectant eyes, he had no choice but to agree: "Go!"
"My daughter wants Qingyue to come and help." Xu Qinghuan continued.
An Yihou couldn't help but laugh, and ordered people to call Xu Qingyue in the yard. Watching the two girls chattering and busy knotting ropes, An Yihou felt indescribably comfortable in his heart, and all his worries were swept away.
After tying the peace knot, Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue walked out of the study.
Uncle Lei has returned to the Anyi Marquis Mansion and is waiting for Xu Qinghuan in the corridor. Xu Qingyue immediately walked away when he saw this.
Uncle Lei said: "We found out that the man lives in a courtyard in the middle of the capital."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Uncle Lei, are you sure?"
Uncle Lei said: "Don't worry, eldest lady, even though it was just a quick glance, that person's appearance is already in my mind."
"Without further delay," Xu Qinghuan said, "call your brother and we will go visit him right now."
