Chapter 139 Let him hang for a few days
During the first meeting, both parties had concerns, and some topics could only be touched upon.
Ji Fengzhuo's status was so special that Huan Yu and Xiao Bi couldn't invite him to the county government's mansion, so they could only continue to accompany him in chatting in the farm.
After lunch, the young couple said goodbye to Ji Fengzhuo.
Ji Fengzhuo was naturally reluctant to leave them, but the conditions in the farm were really limited, and it was difficult for him to keep them, so he could only send them out of the farm himself.
Seeing Huan Yu preparing to mount his horse, he took a few steps and grabbed the horse's rein.
"Yu'er, my uncle still has some letters written by your mother in his hand. If you want to read them, I will send someone to get them."
Huan Yu said: "I also have mother's relics there. I'd better keep them as a memory for my uncle."
"This is different..." Ji Fengzhuo still wanted to explain.
"It's nothing different. Uncle, please stay. We'll meet again another day." Huan Yu led the horse to recognize the stirrup, and rode away with Xiao Bi.
Looking at the two figures gradually going away, Ji Fengzhuo's expression became a little solemn.
A guard came forward and said, "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"What else can we do? Wait!"
If it could be done through a simple meeting, why would he need to do it personally?
The bodyguard did not dare to say anything and could only walk back slowly with him.
※※※※
After running for more than two miles in one breath, Xiao Bi grabbed the reins of the horse.
"Hey, you need to say something!"
Huan Yu also pulled the horse and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say nothing during the whole journey?"
"Tch—" Xiao Bi waved her riding crop at him: "What you said is so boring. Ji Fengzhuo is not my uncle. What can I think?"
Huan Yu suppressed his smile: "He is my uncle, but I don't have any extra thoughts."
"You really don't want to read those letters?"
"It just adds to the sadness, there's nothing to see."
"Oh, you are such a real person!" Xiao Bi was almost furious.
Huan Yu was amused again.
He didn't believe that Xiaojiu couldn't see Ji Fengzhuo's intentions.
Of course he wanted to read his mother's letter, but he couldn't let Ji Fengzhuo lead him away.
Those letters were all written before he was born.
Ji Fengzhuo was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, and her mother was also very young.
As the eldest sister, when he writes letters to his younger brother, in addition to comforting and admonishing, it is inevitable that he will recall the things he spent with his parents back then.
Ji Fengzhuo saw that he did not have too strong feelings for Emperor Qing De and Empress Chu, and most likely wanted to use those letters to impress him.
He never likes his emotions to be influenced by others.
It should be decided by him and Xiaojiu whether he wants to help Ji Fengzuo or whether he wants to avenge Emperor Qingde and Empress Chu.
Even if you have to discuss it with someone, that person can only be your grandfather or father, and it will never be Ji Fengzhuo.
Huan Yu grabbed Xiao Bi's whip: "I'm kidding you! Those letters won't fly away if I leave them with Ji Fengzhuo. When I want to read them, I will naturally go to him."
Xiao Bi stuck out her tongue: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!"
"Would you rather tell me what I'm thinking about?"
"Ji Fengzhuo is a person who does big things. It's not easy to find time to come here. Even though he looks calm on the outside, he is very anxious in his heart.
Don't you just want to let him go for a few days to let his somewhat heated mind cool down?"
"Those who know me belong to the Xiao family!"
"Aren't you annoying?" Xiao Bi kicked Bao Yu on the butt.
The heavy rain let out a long hiss, carrying Huan Yu and galloping forward to the right.
Xiao Bi pinched the horse's belly, and the strong wind started to run faster.
Not long after, the two BMWs drove side by side again.
"Xiaojiu, are you planning to go back home?"
"We haven't seen my grandfather since we came back. I want to go and pay him a visit."
"Those who know me..."
"Shut up!"
The two men's mounts quickly disappeared without a trace.
The camp is two hundred miles away from the county capital, and it would take an ordinary horse about two hours to run.
But for strong winds and heavy rain, an hour is enough.
This was Xiao Bi's first time to visit Duke Huan's camp, and she couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
In the past, when she didn't know Huan Yu, her grandfather often mentioned old Duke Huan in front of her, saying that he was very strict in running the army.
Today, I saw that the reputation was indeed well-deserved. Not only were the soldiers advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, but even the military tents were set up neatly and cleanly compared to other camps.
Huan Yu took the horse's rein from her hand and handed it to a soldier along with his own.
"What are Xiao Jiu looking at?" He tugged on Xiao Bi's arm curiously.
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "I didn't see anything, I just think it's quite clean here... Let's leave quickly, my grandfather will think I'm procrastinating again later."
Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the big tent.
Some soldiers had already reported the news of their arrival to Duke Huan.
Before the soldiers could pass the message, a loud voice came from the big tent: "Come in!"
As expected by Xiao Bi, as soon as the two of them stepped into the tent, they heard old Duke Huan mutter: "Why are you procrastinating? It actually took a quarter of an hour to get from the gate of the camp to my tent!"
Xiao Bisui glanced at Huan Yu, and the two of them saluted and said hello together.
Old Duke Huan put down the book in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you two just return home? You didn't say you had a good rest for a few days. Why did you come to the camp so early?"
Xiao Bi walked to the bookcase and first poked her head to see what book he was reading.
Old Duke Huan laughed and scolded: "You are so sneaky, do you still want to control what books I read?"
Xiao Bi pouted and said, "I have been married into the Huan family for three months, and you are not willing to teach me anything!"
Old Duke Huan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and only said to Huan Yu: "Ji Fengzhuo has arrived in Tianshui County a few days ago. Did he come to see you?"
Huan Yu said: "He first made an appointment with my father, and we only went to meet him early this morning."
Old Duke Huan's lips curved: "This guy is doing things more methodically than before."
Xiao Bi said: "You can just say that he is more treacherous, Ayu will not be unhappy."
Old Duke Huan said with a smile: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you call me Ayu? Tell me, what did you do at the hunting ground?"
Huan Yu was not thin-skinned, but he couldn't bear the jokes made by his grandfather and his wife, and his ears actually felt a little hot.
Xiao Bi rolled her eyelids: "What else can I do? I just want to help you train your grandchildren!"
Old Duke Huan smiled even more happily.
"To be more specific, if they really learn well, I will give them a big reward!"
"I just learned a lesson, it will take some time to know if it has any effect?
I must keep your old man's reward well, so that I don't refuse to acknowledge it when the time comes."
"You're the smartest girl!" Old Duke Huan picked up the book and patted her twice on the forehead.
Xiao Bi covered her head and found a chair to sit on.
Chapter completed!
