Chapter 55: Visitors
A night passed, the heavy snow stopped, and the world was covered with silver.
After New Year's Eve, on the fifth day of the lunar month, Abohan was about to set off to leave the capital. Helian Jue held a family dinner in the Xiaowang Mansion to see Abohan off.
There are not many people in family banquets, and there are only Helian Jue, Udo, and Ahuan, the family of three, and Abohan.
He is a refreshing person. After looking around, he frowned and said, "Let's talk about Your Highness, you are getting too far. Since the King gave the marriage to the little city lord that day, you have never let her see her. We are not an outsider, and we are about to set off to the frontier. It's not interesting to hide the little city lord."
"My uncle, you've misunderstood Brother Xuan." Wu Duo put a few jars of wine for Abohan with a smile. "After Brother Xuan brought Miss Si back, she was infected with cold from time to time. She has been sick for a long time. Usually, she doesn't go out of the door and goes out. Moreover, it's snowing outside today, so she doesn't dare to let her come out."
This is true. Apohan knew that she was afraid of the cold. When she was in the camp, she was wearing much thicker than others, not to mention that it is the cold winter month, but...
"Oh... we and the little city lord are also brothers who live a life. We will leave tomorrow. I really feel sorry if I can't see the little city lord. Your Highness, Xiao Wuduo, you wait for us, let's go and take the little city lord over in person."
Helian Jue knew that Abohan was in love, so he didn't stop him. Unexpectedly, as soon as Abohan opened the door, he vaguely saw Si Nanyue walking from the wind and snow with Tang Pozi in his arms.
"We mean! The little town lord will definitely not be able to bear to leave us!"
Abohan laughed and greeted him. Si Nanyue entered the house and saluted one by one to the people in the house. Then he said to Abohan with a smile: "The general is leaving the capital tomorrow. Si Nanyue comes to see the general off."
"We are just going to invite the little town lord, you are here now, why don't we be connected with blood!"
Abohan's sudden words made Si Nanyue laugh and cry, but when she thought about it carefully, Si Nanyue did give him blood ferment medicine. It was not wrong to say that blood veins were connected, but she always felt that it was strange.
A rare smile appeared on Helian Jue's face, and Wu Duo smiled even more, "What bloodlines are connected... Only bloodlines between my uncle and me are considered to be connected. What you want to say is a heart-to-heart relationship!"
"Yeah! The big man is not careful about the details. Anyway, as long as the little city lord comes, we will be happy!" Abohan waved his hand and pulled Si Nanyue to sit next to Helianjue.
"The general will go to the border with King Rui tomorrow. I don't know when I see you again. Si Nanyue will use tea instead of wine to toast the general." She smiled lightly, as if there was a flower on the corner of her mouth.
Unexpectedly, Apohan shouted: "The little town lord can drink, but he wants to use tea instead of wine. We are not happy! Come on, let's fill you up in person!"
"this……"
Si Nanyue looked at the bowl that was bigger than her face handed over by Abohan, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but before she could say anything, Helian Jue directly reached out to take it.
"She is in a bad state, you still have to make things difficult for her. How can she finish drinking so much wine?" Helian said with a reproach, raised his head and drank no drop of the wine. "I drank it for her."
Abohan hugged his arms with both hands, and said "tsk" with fatigue and helplessness. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Your Highness, the little city lord hasn't said anything yet, you just protect him first. I find out why you are getting more and more pretentious."
"nonsense!"
Helian Jue glared at Apohan, but this was not Apohan's nonsense. Since Shi Nanyue had drunk alcohol and recognized him as that person, he no longer wanted her to drink a drop of wine.
Wu Duo was in a good mood and clinked the wine glass with Abohan, teasing and adding another sentence: "My uncle has used the wrong word again. My brother Xuan has grown up and knows he feels sorry for others. You should say that he is getting more and more attentive."
"Hahahahaha... It's still Xiao Wuduo who knows him as a sister..."
Si Nanyue's face was blushed by their smile, and even the tips of her ears were hot. She lowered her eyes shyly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Ahuan is here, he is still a child. Don't joke about me with the eldest lady and the general."
She rarely showed this kind of expression of a young daughter. Helian was so flirting that he never looked at her a few more times. At that moment, he almost really thought that Si Nanyue was as gentle and shy as she was.
"Nothing is wrong." Wu Duo, the mother, waved his hand first, indicating that these are all minor meanings. "In two years, Ah Huan will be married and have children, so what else can't be heard."
It was snowing outside, and several people in the room drank wine around the stove, chatting and laughing casually. The relaxed atmosphere was just right. Just as the banquet was about to end, the guards outside suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Jin and King Rui come to visit!"
Helian Jue's face changed, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Si Nanyue and said, "They are indeed here, maybe as you said..."
Si Nanyue hesitated for a moment and nodded to him. Apohan naturally didn't know their mystery. He leaned over there with a strong body, "Your Highness, little city lord, do you have any plans before? Can you tell them clearly? Let us listen too!"
Helian Jue didn't say anything, and he gave Wu Duo a wink. Wu Duo knew that the two brothers would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. After drinking a glass of warm wine, she took Ah Huan away from the back hall.
After King Jin and King Rui came in, Helian Jue was still sitting at the table and drinking with Abohan, without any intention of getting up.
After Si Nanyue bowed to them, she wanted to retreat aside, but Helian Jue pressed his shoulders down. He half-closed his eyebrows and said lightly: "You haven't had dinner yet, why did you leave?"
Si Nanyue understood what he said. Since that was the case, she would be at ease since she came and heard whether the two of them were the same as she guessed.
King Jin saw Helian Jue's attitude and realized that the most common expression was still on his face, like wearing a mask with a smile. "The eldest brother really favors the Lord Zelu City, no wonder the Lord would refuse when his father gave the Lord a marriage to the 19th brother."
Faced with King Jin's show of kindness, Helian Jue still had a look of trouble even perfunctory expression. He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It's just family matters, let the third and fourth brothers laugh. Since you are here, don't dislike these leftovers. Please take the seat."
"The eldest brother was joking. My fourth brother and I came uninvited, so there is no reason to dislike him."
King Jin was a smiling tiger, but King Rui's joys and anger were all on his face. He glanced at Si Nanyue with disgust and sneered with ulterior motives: "No wonder others say that the eldest brother looks the most like the father. You not only look similar, but also have similar tastes to women."
Helian Jue's expression darkened, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and an unconcealed look of ruthlessness appeared in his golden eyes, "What's the point of fourth brother?!"
Before King Rui could speak, Apohan couldn't help himself and shouted: "The little city lord not only helped the great highness, but also saved us many times. She is not the vase on the table, she is our savior! Whoever puts the little city lord and the dancer who only seduces men in the future will not be happy!"
Abohan's face was flushed, and his stubble was as if he was about to explode.
King Rui had heard of Apohan's dare to speak, but he didn't expect that he would dare to confront him in person. King Rui couldn't help but be furious. He was about to have an attack with a blue face, but was stopped by King Jin's eyes. He could only shake his sleeves unwillingly, and endured his anger and sat aside with King Jin.
Helian Jue raised his eyebrows and sang: "How can the general be so rude? Why don't you apologize to Your Highness King Rui quickly."
Having said that, Helian Jue had no blame in his tone. In addition, King Jin Rui came here for another purpose, so he should not offend Helian Jue for these trivial matters.
King Jin's eyes flashed, and in order to ease the conflict between the two, he changed the topic: "The general is quick and easy. He is a straightforward person. There is no blame for not blame. He just heard the general's words. The journey seemed very thrilling. My fourth brother and I have never been to the battlefield. I wonder if the general can tell us about the dangerous war along the way?"
"Then...that's nothing wrong with it."
Apohan agreed simply that he was just a soft man and not a hard man. He didn't look at him just now. If he was asked to tell these things, he would want to say that last three days and three nights so that these ordinary people could know that the great master of their family's Shenwu extraordinary.
"There are only two most dangerous battlefields on this road. One of them was four years ago. Xiaolan, Jiang Yu, Zelu, Ganquan, and Linglu, the five cities coalition forces jointly resisted our Chiyuan soldiers. The battle was extremely thrilling. We lost three consecutive games. The five-way coalition forces forced us into a dead end. At that time, heavy snow was blocked, food and grass were cut off, and the soldiers who were vigil were frozen into ice sculptures..."
When it comes to Apohan, he doesn't know a single word, but he tells a story vividly and fascinatingly. Even King Rui, who has a lot of complaints about him, was fascinated by the situation at that time.
"In this battle, we not only lost many brothers, but also seriously injured His Highness. Fortunately, the Wolf King Jila blessed him. In the end, His Highness made a move... Surrounding Fei... Save Zhao? He led the remaining soldiers out of the siege and gave them a big warning!"
As soon as Apohan finished speaking, King Jin immediately slapped the table and applauded: "The eldest brother is indeed brave, and the name of the God of War of Chiyuan is truly worthy of his reputation!!"
"Where is another battle?" King Rui asked.
Abohan drank a sip of wine and sighed: "Ah... the five cities coalition forces are thrilling, and Zelu's last battle, the battle of Sushuishan, is extremely tragic..."
Helian Jue was stunned. He subconsciously glanced at Si Nanyue and found that she seemed to have not heard it. She obediently lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and her face was calm and indifferent.
"The terrain of Sushuishan is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Fortunately, we have arranged an insider in Zelu's army and learned their plan in advance. The commander of that battle was Si Nanyang, the eldest son of Zelu, who was appointed as the city lord Si Fenghao. From the beginning, the 30,000 remaining soldiers he brought, including himself, were all dead soldiers..."
Abohan's voice went from excited to low, and Si Nanyue's hand holding Tao Pozi gradually tightened.
Yes... Apohan is right. The Sushui Mountain, which her brother personally guarded, was a game of death that died together from the beginning...
