Chapter 181 Persuading Parents (1)
After the acknowledgment, everyone had lunch together.
The old generals all shouldered the task of guarding the border and could not stay longer in Wuwei County, so they all left.
Huan Yu winked at Huan Ji, and the two young couples followed Huan Yan and his wife to their residence.
Huan Yan raised his hand: "If you have something to say, sit down and speak slowly."
Mrs. Qiao took her seat as instructed, but the two young couples knelt down in front of them together.
Huan Yan raised his eyebrows and did not immediately ask why.
However, Mrs. Qiao was not as calm as him and asked hurriedly: "What are you doing? If you have anything to do, stand up and talk slowly."
The four young people did not listen to her and continued to kneel straight.
Mrs. Qiao pursed her lips and said to Huan Ji, "Ji'er, you don't even listen to your mother?"
In fact, she knew very well that the person she should ask at this time was not her son, but Huan Yu.
But among the four people, the only one she could really control was Huan Ji, so she could only show her dissatisfaction to her son.
Before Huan Ji could speak, Huan Yu said first, "Father, mother, and son have already made a decision. They will leave for Jin Kingdom after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Huan Yan and Qiao had already known about his decision to help Ji Fengzuo, but their schedule had not yet been decided, and no one knew when he would set off.
Huan Yan's heart suddenly tightened when he heard him tell him his plan.
Compared with his eldest son, his desire to kill Emperor Ji'an of Jin Kingdom is only stronger.
As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. Although he was not lucky enough to meet Emperor Qing De and Queen Chu, he was still willing to assume the responsibilities of half a son.
If it weren't for Emperor Ji'an's ambition, Feng Xing wouldn't have lost his parents at the age of twelve, let alone live a life of wandering around.
Of course, if Feng Xing had not fled to Wei Dynasty, they would not have had the chance to get acquainted, let alone become a couple.
But he would rather miss the woman he loves most in this life, rather than let her suffer these hardships.
Emperor Qing De and Queen Chu loved Feng Xing so much that the fact that they were killed had always weighed on Feng Xing's heart.
As her husband, it is natural for her to fulfill her wish.
But he holds an important position and has the heavy responsibility of guarding the border. This is extremely troublesome to do.
What's more, Ji Fengzhao's attempt to regain the country was also involved, so he must not act rashly.
Yu'er is different. Although he is recognized by everyone as the heir to the county government, he is not the real crown prince yet.
Moreover, he has already asked His Majesty the Emperor for instructions. Even if his identity is really revealed, others will not be able to make a fuss about it, let alone the Huan family.
Huan Yan understood the truth and believed that with the ability of the eldest son, he had a high chance of avenging his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.
But when he heard that he was leaving so soon, Huan Yan was still very reluctant to leave.
"Yu'er, Xiaojiu and Xiaohan's birthdays will be shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't you wait until September before setting off?
Jinguo is not as cold as our Tianshui County, it is still very warm in September, so it will not affect the schedule."
"Father, my son has already discussed it with Xiaojiu, and she agrees that I will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"This..." Huan Yan looked at Xiao Bi: "Xiaojiu, have you really thought about it clearly?"
In his impression, women attach great importance to various festivals, especially their own birthdays.
Not to mention that if your husband leaves before his birthday, even if the gift delivery is delayed, you will still be unhappy.
Although Xiaojiu is not like other women in the boudoir, she doesn't care at all.
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "Father, if you miss a birthday, it's not a big or a small birthday. If you miss it, you will miss it. Ayu and I still have a long life.
If he leaves early, he can come back early, and we will have less to worry about."
Huan Yan nodded approvingly.
Before, he had always thought that Xiao Jiu would definitely go to Jin Country with Yu Er.
I never thought that the Empress was pregnant again, and I heard that the pregnancy was not going well. Xiaojiu treated the Empress like a mother, so naturally she wanted to go back to Beijing to visit her.
Without Xiaojiu's help, the difficulty of Yu'er's trip will definitely increase a lot.
But compared to a wife who only cries and gets in the way, Xiaojiu is the most suitable wife for Yu'er because she acts cleanly and has the ability to take good care of herself.
However, just when he felt relieved, he heard Huan Yu say: "My son plans to take Aji with him on this trip. I hope my father and mother will allow me."
"What?!" Before Huan Yan could answer, Mrs. Qiao exclaimed.
After exclaiming, I felt something was wrong,
She did not dare to express her dissatisfaction with Huan Yu, so she could only say to Huan Ji, "Ji'er, what on earth is going on?"
Huan Ji hurriedly said: "Mom, don't listen to my brother. It's not that he wants to take me to Jin Kingdom, but that I insist on going to him because I am pestering him."
Ms. Qiao felt dizzy, and her son appeared twice in front of her.
"Son--" She pulled Huan Ji's arm, tears flowing down uncontrollably.
The two brothers were born on the same day and have been on good terms since childhood. It is expected that they help each other in times of trouble.
If it were any other matter, even if Ji'er was lazy and didn't help Yu'er, she would scold him even if she scolded him.
But can assassinating the emperor of a country be a joke?
Ji'er is not only a piece of flesh that fell off her body, but also the only flesh and blood that she exchanged for half her life. Can she just watch him take risks?
On ordinary days, what Huan Yan would hate to see most is his wife crying.
As the son of Duke Huan, he himself went to war at the age of twelve or thirteen.
If everyone is reluctant to let go of their children, who will defend the territory and protect the peace of the people?
But today is different.
The assassination of Emperor Jin had nothing to do with protecting the family and the country. It was purely a personal enmity between him and Yu'er.
Ji'er is not Feng Lang's son, so there is no need to take this risk for her.
If he had a bad relationship, let alone Qiao, even he and Yu'er wouldn't be able to bear it.
He stretched out his big hand and patted Mr. Qiao's shoulder, and then said to Huan Ji: "Ji'er, you are already eighteen years old. You cannot act based on your whim.
My father and your mother only have you two brothers, and you two have gone to the Kingdom of Jin, who can the family rely on?"
Although Huan Yu had agreed to Huan Ji before, he also hoped that his parents could dissuade him.
After all, people are not as good as God. Who can guarantee that things like assassinating the emperor will be foolproof?
However, Huan Ji has a stubborn temper. If he could be dissuaded, Huan Yu would have dissuaded him that day, and he would never wait until today.
He patiently listened to what his parents and brother had to say, without even the slightest intention of talking back.
Just when Huan Yan and Qiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had listened to their words, Huan Ji finally spoke.
"Father, mother, and son know that you are all doing it for my own good, but I still have to go with my brother."
"You-" Qiao almost didn't come up in one breath.
Huan Yan scolded: "Why are you so stubborn? Your mother is not in good health. Are you trying to make her sick?"
Huan Ji took a few steps on his knees and hugged Mrs. Qiao's legs.
