Sun Luochang was startled and remembered this name.
"Who is Chai Yan?"
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know him. I've never heard of him."
But several other old generals had never heard of this name, so they couldn't help but look puzzled and asked each other.
An old general couldn't help but asked: "Commander Gu, where does this Chai Yan you are talking about come from, and what's so special about him?"
Another general also asked: "Yes, Commander Gu, this person is unknown. How can he be stronger than the grandson of General Sun?"
Hearing this, the other generals also nodded and began to question in their hearts, except Sun Luochang frowned and remained silent.
Gu Zhengbang was not in a hurry to answer the questions of these generals, but politely said to Sun Luochang: "Old General Sun, you should still have an impression of this young man named Chai Yan, right?"
Sun Luochang stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "Yes."
Several generals nearby became curious when they heard this, and they all asked about Chai Yan. You must know that those who can leave a memory in Sun Luochang's heart are all people with good backgrounds!
Sun Luochang couldn't resist the questioning of several generals, so he had to say: "Guys, regarding the situation of Chai Yan, you have to ask Commander Gu. He is from the Wude Department and is a subordinate of Commander Gu!"
"Commander Gu!"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Zhengbang again.
Gu Zhengbang first asked everyone to calm down, and then said: "Do you generals still remember the young man who came to rescue the emperor when the emperor was assassinated on the street last year?"
"Is it him?"
"Is that the one?"
Several generals nodded in realization, and immediately thought of such a person.
The incident of Chai Yan rescuing Liu Lang once caused a sensation in the entire capital. Everyone in the court knew about it, including civil and military officials and even ordinary people in the city. However, few people remembered Chai Yan's name. Moreover, it had been a long time since the incident.
, and even less can be remembered.
"Yes, this is the person Gu Aiqing is talking about!" Liu Lang said.
At this time, an old general turned to Sun Luochang and asked doubtfully: "General Sun, is this Chai Yan more powerful than your Xingba?"
Everyone wanted to know this question, and all eyes were focused on Sun Luochang's face.
Sun Luochang sighed softly, shook his head and said: "My Xingba is indeed not as good as him!"
"really?"
"Is this person so powerful? Even Xingba is not as good as him?"
Sun Luochang's words aroused surprise and glances from the veteran generals.
From the time Sun Xingba entered the Wude Division, Sun Luochang knew all about the frictions and disputes between him and Chai Yan. The competition in the entrance examination, the loss of money in bets, and everything that happened when they went to hunt lions together, Sun Luochang
Either by hearing it, or by listening to my grandson’s personal account, it can be said that not a single thing was missed.
Although he had never met Chai Yan, Sun Luochang admired and was interested in this young man.
Suddenly, Sun Luochang remembered something and said: "Your Majesty, Commander Gu, I remember that Chai Yan seems not to be in the capital...has he returned to the capital?"
Liu Lang nodded and said: "Yes, I ordered him to return to Beijing overnight, and he is already waiting outside Tianhe Palace!"
Sun Luochang became interested as soon as he heard this and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and declare him to the palace."
Liu Lang nodded, turned to Pei Yang and said, "Eunuch Pei, ask Xu Mao to call Chai Yan to the back hall so that all my dear friends can meet him."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Pei Yang bowed and immediately ran out of the palace.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in Tianhe Palace had almost finished leaving. Pei Yang quickly walked out of the palace door to look for someone.
Liu Lang was a little anxious and wanted to go to the toilet, so he walked up to the back hall and said: "The generals are tired after standing for a long time. Let's go to the back hall and sit and wait."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Several generals headed by Sun Luochang immediately raised their hands and thanked him in unison, and followed Liu Lang to the passage behind the screen.
After walking a few steps, Liu Lang beckoned Gu Zhengbang to his side and asked softly: "Gu Aiqing, just now Xu Mao said that Chai Yan rushed back to Beijing overnight, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let him go out to fight in such a tired state?
?”
Gu Zhengbang smiled slightly and said reassuringly: "Your Majesty, that boy Chai Yan is only in his early twenties, and his energy is extremely high. He just stayed up all night, so it won't have any impact."
"Yes, that's true." Liu Lang nodded.
Liu Lang recalled that eight years ago when he was twenty years old, he would read all night long and do what he liked without sleeping. He never felt that it was hard. But now, he feels tired after reviewing memorials for two hours.
Yes, I need to rest.
Soon, Liu Lang led Gu Zhengbang and several old generals to the apse through the passage behind the screen.
As soon as he entered the back hall, Liu Lang saw the figure of a short girl and suddenly wondered: "Hey, isn't that Funing?"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Lang's eyes spotted Xu Mao and Chai Yan, who were talking about something.
"Chai Yan?"
This exclamation was made by Liu Lang and Gu Zhengbang at the same time. They both thought that Chai Yan was still waiting outside the hall, but they didn't expect that Chai Yan was already in the back hall.
Xu Mao turned his head when he heard the sound. He was trembling with fright and knelt down in confusion: "Your Majesty!"
When Funing saw Liu Lang and his entourage appearing, he immediately felt guilty: "Emperor...Brother Emperor, why are you here?"
The calmest one was Chai Yan. When he saw Liu Lang and Gu Zhengbang approaching, he immediately bowed his head and bowed slightly, saying: "Chai Yan, a humble minister, comes to see the Emperor!"
Sun Luochang, who was walking behind, had already begun to look at Chai Yan carefully. He saw that his beautiful features and handsome appearance were far different from what he had imagined. He was immediately surprised and did not want to believe that his beloved grandson would lose to such a scholar.
young people.
"Is he Chai Yan?"
"So thin? So short?"
"This...this body, how can I fight with that big bearded guy?"
Several old generals also had a blast. Looking at Chai Yanwen's weak scholar figure, they all frowned and exclaimed.
Chai Yan lowered his head and listened at a loss. He thought to himself, what are these veterans talking about? What's wrong with me being thinner and shorter? It won't bother you.
Liu Lang walked up to the three of them, looked at Chai Yan happily, raised his hand slightly and said, "Forgive me."
Chai Yan then lowered his hands, straightened his waist, looked at Liu Lang, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are so handsome today!"
"Why do you flatter me as soon as we meet?" Liu Lang said with a deliberately sullen face.
Chai Yan immediately denied it: "Your Majesty, this is not flattery, it is the sincerity of the minister. You don't know the way you looked when you were angry at that Heng Saar just now, you were so handsome and cool!"
"Handsome? So cool?" Liu Langtou heard such compliments and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Chai Yan, are you praising me, or are you doing me a disservice? Go to Yaozhou and learn these things.
?”
"Hey, hey hey..."
Chai Yan didn't bother to explain the origin of these words. The explanation didn't make sense anyway, so he grinned twice and stopped talking.
When Liu Lang saw Xu Mao still kneeling, he said, "Why are you still kneeling? Get up..."
Xu Mao stood up tremblingly, his head hanging on his chest, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Fu Ning, why are you here?" Liu Lang looked at Funing again.
Funing hesitated for a moment, stuck out his tongue and said: "I just can't help it, I'm too curious... Brother Emperor, don't be angry, Funing is wrong, Funing will go back and think about it now..."
....”
Before she finished speaking, Funing wanted to turn around and run away. She was obviously afraid of the punishment from the emperor's brother.
"Stop!" Liu Lang stopped Funing and said, "There will be a big duel in Jiu'an Palace later. Don't you want to watch it?"
"Duel?" Fu Ning turned back as soon as he jumped, as excited as a shot of chicken blood, and asked: "Really? Can Fu Ning also go and watch?"
Liu Lang glanced at Chai Yan, smiled flatly, and said loudly: "Look at how Chai Yan dealt with those Pitz barbarians, why didn't I allow you to go?"
Chai Yan was stunned, pointed at his nose and said: "Me? Duel? With those guys from Piz Country?"
Liu Lang nodded heavily: "Yes, it's you! Why, are you afraid?"
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me that Wei Chen is afraid of them? Let's put it this way, as long as Your Majesty nods, Wei Chen will go and clean up all those guys immediately!" Chai Yan made some bold words without any scruples.
