Chapter 178: Rejecting Kindness (Part 2)

Huan Yu's words were beautiful, and Ji Fengzhuo was very happy to hear them.

But the fact that even Wang Jue could not move his nephew's heart still made him very disappointed.

He bent his fingers and tapped lightly on his leg, and said seriously: "Ayu, you are still too young... If you want to be invincible for the rest of your life, you can't hang yourself from a tree.

Take King Yong as an example. My uncle disagrees with what he did. But it is undeniable that he is unparalleled in terms of finding a way out.

I wonder if you have heard that at the end of autumn and beginning of winter last year, the Beirong people once again raised troops to invade the Wei border, and as a result they suffered a heavy loss at the hands of your uncle Xiao Xuan.

It is said that Chidu Khan, the most powerful man, almost didn’t even save his life.”

Huan Yu said: "The war was urgent at that time, but I only heard about it a little bit."

Ji Fengzhuo added: "Beirong's national power is far inferior to that of the Wei Dynasty. If it hadn't been for the locust drought last year, they would not have dared to take such a big risk.

After this battle, Beirong will no longer dare to make any big moves in a short period of time, and the northern border of the Wei Dynasty will have fewer worries."

Huan Yu smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, His Majesty the current Wei Dynasty is not Emperor Wu."

"Yes, if he had such great ambitions, he wouldn't be idle in the past few years..."

Ji Fengzhuo smiled, and then changed the subject: "So what uncle wants to talk to you is another question.

The reason why the Huan family has been highly favored over the years is not only because of the outstanding ability of the old prince, but also because of its weak foundation.

But now the situation has changed a lot. You have married Princess Yiyang, and your uncle has regained the kingdom. Can the Emperor of Wei still trust the Huan family as always?"

How could Huan Yu not understand these principles? He chuckled and said: "The heart of an emperor has always been unfathomable, but I believe that my grandfather and father will have ways to deal with it."

The words "Emperor's Heart" blocked Ji Fengzhuo's next words.

The nephew was talking about Emperor Tianqing, so how could he not be talking about him?

He sighed: "Ayu, no matter what you think, uncle will keep the prince for you.

After all, you are the eldest sister's only son. This time you led the army to contain King Yong's army and made great contributions to our army's final victory.

To tell you the truth, after Ji Yinfeng handed over the surrender, my uncle has sent people to the capital to carry out the handover and arrange the enthronement, and he also picked a mansion for you."

Huan Yu thought to himself, he would first analyze the situation and give credit, then give him a mansion, and then probably talk about Ji Xinyuan's marriage.

Naturally, he would not give Ji Fengzhuo a chance to speak, so he immediately stood up and saluted: "Uncle, there is no need for this. I pursued King Yong out of selfish motives. It was the soldiers of the Flying Wing Army who made the real contribution.

I also ask my uncle to reward the five thousand flying wing troops for their merits, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

The words that came to her mouth were blocked again, and Ji Fengzhuo was secretly annoyed.

This kid is too slippery, and it's really not easy to get him to obey.

He put on a smile and said: "You can rest assured, my uncle has been leading the army for more than 20 years, and he has always made clear rewards and punishments, and he will never let the Feiyi Army suffer.

In addition, my uncle has already set a date for his enthronement, and will leave for the capital on that day. Ayu, please come with me. After all, it is the enthronement ceremony, and you always have to attend."

Huan Yu said with a smile: "I have been away from home for nearly two years, and I have long been reluctant to return home. Please forgive me, uncle."

"This..." Ji Fengzhuo knew that she couldn't keep him at all at this moment, so she could only sigh: "Well, since you have made up your mind, uncle can't force you to stay.

Go back and say hello to the old prince and your father for me. Aji's contribution is not small, so I would like to express my gratitude to him.

And on Princess Yiyang’s side, it’s my uncle who can’t stand her, causing you and your wife to be separated for so long..."

Huan Yu smiled and said: "We are all one family, uncle is not like this."

"Okay!" Ji Fengzhuo stood up and patted his shoulder: "Before leaving, go say goodbye to your aunt and cousin. They have always missed you."

Huan Yu responded yes and then said: "By the way, Aji still has some old things to ask Ji Lingyu, so I want to take her back with me. I wonder if it's convenient for uncle here?"

Ji Fengzhuo said: "Ji Lingyu has indeed ruined a lot of things for me over the years, but after all, she is my father's only sister, so we can't kill her all."

"I know." Huan Yu bowed and said, "Uncle is busy with work, so I will take my leave first."

Ji Feng looked at him reluctantly: "Ayu, you must bring Princess Yiyang to the capital of Jin Kingdom when you have time. My uncle will miss you."

※※※※

Early on the next morning, Huan Yu and Lian Ming rode horses, and A Liang drove the carriage. The group left Jianning County.

Seven days later, in the evening, they arrived at Lihuadu.

The river network here is intertwined, and it is regarded as the water transportation hub of Jinguo. If the weather is good, it will take less than ten days to reach Ruoshui City.

While Huan Yu and the other three went to have dinner, A Liang went to the boat shop to hire a passenger boat.

After resting for about two hours, the four of them boarded the boat and left Lihuadu.

Huan Yu stood on the bow of the boat, blowing a gust of cool breeze, and faintly heard someone calling him not far away.

Looking up, he saw a small boat speeding toward them, and the young man on the bow was waving vigorously at him.

Ji Xinwan?!

Huan Yu narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his lips disappeared instantly.

Ji Xinwan's performance in the Flying Wing Army is remarkable, and he has never behaved inappropriately.

I didn't expect that it was all just a show, and that it was revealed so quickly.

The little bit of affection he had for Ji Xinwan disappeared in an instant.

The boat came close quickly, and Ji Xinyuan stood on her tiptoes and jumped onto the passenger boat.

The boatman, probably after being prompted by her, immediately turned the boat around and left.

Ji Xinwan didn't care about Huan Yu's expression at all, and chuckled: "Cousin Yu, you can't break your promise to me."

Seeing that she was so frank and clear, and she didn't look like she was here to pester her, Huan Yu couldn't help but say, "What is my cousin referring to?"

Ji Xinwan said: "You promised me when we first met that when my father repels the Li army, you and cousin Ji will set off back to Wei. If I have time, I can go back with you."

Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "So, my cousin is going to meet your cousin-in-law?"

Ji Xinyuan said generously: "I have heard for a long time that my cousin is a hero among women, and I would like to go and ask for advice."

Of course, Huan Yu was not worried that Xiao Bi was not Ji Xinyuan's opponent, but the couple finally reunited, so they didn't want to be disturbed.

What's more, no matter how big-hearted Xiaojiu is, she won't like her husband to have a young woman by his side.

He's not stupid, why should he send him to his door to be beaten?

The problem is that Ji Fengzhuo's family never made it clear that they wanted him to be their son-in-law. He didn't want to backfire and cause trouble.

Ji Xinyuan was very cunning, and she slipped into the cabin regardless of whether he agreed or not.

Huan Yu shook his head helplessly.
