"I don't know why you are like this, but I suggest you think things through first and then make a decision! Once you make a decision, follow it all the way! No matter what the final result is, it is good.
No matter how bad you are, I will always support you." General Xie said very seriously.
Xie Yao fell silent.
Grandfather was right, her heart was indeed restless.
Ever since she left the inn that day, the scene of agreeing to Princess Minghui's invitation to go to court often appeared in her eyes, and she always reminded herself not to get too close to Chu Han, otherwise it would only make it more difficult for her to go to court.
But I didn't expect that my grandfather would see it.
"Thank you, grandpa, for your advice." She responded a little absent-mindedly.
Old General Xie didn't speak. He leaned to the side with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting.
Xie Yao also fell silent again.
The carriage moved forward slowly, making a slight sound that was very clear.
After the carriage traveled a certain distance, a man suddenly caught up with him on horseback and asked in a loud voice: "Is this General Xie in the carriage?"
Xie Yao's heart moved, and she discovered through the curtain that this place was still far away from the capital. How could someone stop the car here?
"Stop!" General Xie heard the voice and immediately ordered.
After the carriage slowly stopped, the carriage carrying Chu Han also stopped not far ahead.
When General Xie was about to get off the carriage, Xie Yao stopped him, "Grandpa, don't you want to see who is stopping the carriage?"
"You don't need to look, I can recognize his voice turning into ashes. You can come down with me and meet him." Old General Xie said and pulled Xie Yao down.
Xie Yao was a little confused.
Grandfather also recognized the voice. Could it be that the other person was familiar with grandfather?
After getting off the carriage, Xie Yao saw a man riding on a horse. There was an evil spirit lingering around his body, which was hidden but not released. His eyes were steady and sharp. He was about the same age as Uncle Li.
When the man saw Old General Xie, he immediately got off his horse in excitement and performed a military salute of kneeling down on one knee, "General Cheng Yongjun, I have met the old general!"
"Get up, I'm no longer an old general, I can't afford this gift." General Xie's tone was calm, showing some vicissitudes of life.
"That's just a false position. You will be an old general all your life, and the last general will be your deputy general all your life." Cheng Yongjun stood up and said loudly, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he raised his hand to rub it.
When Old General Xie saw this, his face darkened, "Why are you crying? You are dozens of years old and you still cry easily? Is the dignified General Zhengxi a crybaby?"
Xie Yao's eyes flashed slightly.
It turned out that he was General Cheng Yongjun of the Western Conquest. He was once his grandfather's deputy general and a comrade-in-arms of Uncle Li. His position was at the same level as his father's previous position. Cheng Yongjun also made many military exploits at that time, so he was awarded the title of General of the Western Conquest. However,
Therefore, I can no longer stay with my grandfather.
From then on, Cheng Yongjun rarely met his grandfather to avoid suspicion.
If two generals with outstanding military exploits often get together, they will inevitably arouse suspicion.
"What the old general taught me is this." Cheng Yongjun immediately adjusted his guilty conscience and his eyes gradually became less red. "General, I haven't seen you for too long, so I committed this problem as soon as I saw you."
Old General Xie glanced at Cheng Yongjun coldly, but did not lecture him any more, "How did you find this place?"
Cheng Yongjun quickly replied, "Back to the old general, I heard someone say that you were out of the city, so I rushed over immediately! I miss you very much. If you wait until you return to the capital, I will have no chance to see you."
"Get out!" Old General Xie suddenly shouted angrily, his face turned black, "You have already established your own business and are the only general to conquer the West. What do you want from me? And I just don't leave the capital often, so it's not like I'm dead.
Yes, why don’t you have a chance?”
"Old General, calm down! Old General, calm down! I didn't mean that, I just feel a little sorry. After all, you don't allow us to take the initiative to visit you, so naturally we don't dare to break your rules." Cheng Yongjun apologized quickly, with a respectful attitude.
General Xie looked at Cheng Yongjun's attitude and was a little angry. He said slowly: "You don't have to be so humble to me. I'm just an idle prince now. You are General Zhengxi. If your subordinates see you, why don't you still
What prestige is there?”
"In front of the old general, the last general will always be your lieutenant!" Cheng Yongjun immediately expressed his loyalty.
Old General Xie was a little speechless and asked him directly, "That's enough! Now that you have seen me, go back as soon as possible! I still want to go back to Beijing."
After saying that, he turned back to look at Xie Yao, deliberately pretending to be pressed for time, "Yao'er, how long did that person say he could wait for us? Don't miss the time."
Xie Yao understood what her grandfather meant and responded eagerly: "If I had been rushing so fast just now, I would have made it in time. Now... my granddaughter can't say for sure."
Cheng Yongjun was so excited just now that he didn't notice Xie Yao. When he saw her now, he just glanced at her with cold eyes quickly and then looked back. The expressions were somewhat similar to those of the soldiers in Chu Han's camp when they looked at Xie Yao.
Xie Yao noticed this and raised her eyebrows slightly. What is going on?
In my impression, she had almost no interaction with Cheng Yongjun, so Cheng Yongjun couldn't 'practice' either.
"Old General, please stay," Cheng Yongjun saw that Old General Xie was about to leave and quickly called out to stop him.
"What else is there?" General Xie turned around.
"You..." Cheng Yongjun glanced at the carriage parked in front and hesitated, "You came with His Highness King Han?"
General Xie's old eyes narrowed, "So what?"
"Nothing! The general is just curious. You rarely leave the capital and rarely travel with others. Why did you leave the capital with King Han and go to King Han's camp?" Cheng Yongjun rubbed his eyes and thought about it.
He said everything he asked and waited for General Xie to answer.
"He is King Han, but he is also my granddaughter's husband. I am accompanying my granddaughter and grandson-in-law for a walk around the capital. What's the problem?" Old General Xie's face turned gloomy and he spoke loudly.
"Don't be angry, old general. I didn't question your intentions. It's just that people's words are scary. The situation in Beijing is a bit... complicated now. You'd better be more careful." Cheng Yongjun explained quickly.
"I have my own sense of proportion." Old General Xie finished speaking in a deep voice and raised his voice towards Xie Yao: "Yao'er, let's set off back to Beijing immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"
Cheng Yongjun opened his mouth and did not stop him.
"Yes, grandfather!" Xie Yao stepped forward to hold her grandfather's arm. When she looked at Cheng Yongjun, she pondered for a moment, "Does General Cheng feel some discomfort in his eyes?"
"Thank you, Princess Han, for your kindness. It will be fine in the end!" Cheng Yongjun answered bluntly, with obvious rejection.
Princess Han has always been arrogant and domineering, why should she show concern for him?
