After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 618 Your eldest niece

The news of Lu Zhenan's departure from Beijing quickly reached Zhao Chengyuan's ears.

Zhao Chengyuan was very surprised. Lu Zhenan was Emperor Qingming's most powerful arm, so why would he choose to leave the capital at this time?

If we want to guard against Duke Dingguo's deployment of troops, we can weigh the pros and cons and it is obviously more advantageous for Lu Zhen'an to stay in the capital.

That night, Prince Cheng arrived at the Dingguo Palace. He brought two pieces of news.

First, Lu Zhenan left the capital because the prince reminded him. Second, the queen woke up.

After seeing Prince Cheng off, Zhao Chengyuan frowned and drank tea.

Prince Cheng and Duke Ding were worried that Lu Zhen'an would restrain the Southwest Army, which would be detrimental to their uprising. They both believed that the soldiers and horses they could rely on were the Southwest Army.

But the prince knew that Zhao Chengyuan relied on his own soldiers and horses, not others. The prince diverted the tiger away from the mountain in this way, and solidly helped him again.

This feeling is very uncomfortable. Zhao Chengyuan does not want to accept the favor of the prince. As long as Lu Zhenan leaves the palace, he can find an opportunity to kill him. But now that Lu Zhenan is running around the southwest, if he does it again, he will scare the snake.

Obviously, the prince's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was more reliable than his assassination and would not arouse Emperor Qingming's suspicion.

Han Jun frowned, "This matter is no small matter, and this is not the time for you to show off your strength. No matter how well prepared you are in advance, without enough troops to deter you, it will be in vain. Once things fail, there will be no room for maneuver."

Han Jun didn't care what happened to Lu Zhen'an. He thought Zhao Chengyuan was worried about the lack of soldiers and horses to cause an uprising.

She had also been annihilated by hatred. If he hadn't been by her side to protect her quietly, she still doesn't know what she would have become.

He found a set of night clothes and a mask in the cage. After some disguise, the banished immortal turned into the creepy ghost-faced general.

Seeing that he was mysterious and secretive, Han Jun snorted coldly, "Why, is there anything else that you can't tell me? Do you not trust me?"

He was afraid of being beaten soon.

Zhao Chengyuan drank the tea and felt a bit bitter from the taste.

Han Youning smiled, Zhao Chengyuan always felt that she had redeemed him. But he didn't know that he was not redeemed by him.

You Ning said that her mother sewed it for her, but she didn't use it. When their child was born, she let the child use it.

Han Youning: "..."

She asked with a smile, "May I ask General Ghost Face, what are you going to do when you are dressed like this?"

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Zhao Chengyuan say, "Brother, I have something to say to you..."

Zhao Chengyuan's throat rolled, "Brother."

When Han Jun saw his daughter coming, he stood up with a smile and pulled her to Zhao Chengyuan, "You Ning, this is General Ghost Face, my father's sworn brother."

Zhao Chengyuan raised the wine jar in his hand, "I'm here to have a drink with Duke Ding."

Han Jun urged again, "Young brother, people in the world are most careless about trivial matters and don't care about their status. Is it possible that you don't intend to recognize me as your eldest brother?"

Zhao Chengyuan asked, "Where are the people from King Jin?"

It was rare for Zhao Chengyuan to hear his father-in-law praise him for being "handsome" and "intelligent and progressive", which was quite pleasing to his ears.

"Elucidate my father-in-law's doubts."

Han Jun was studying the layout plan in front of the desk when he suddenly looked sharply in the direction of the screen.

Han Youning couldn't wait for Zhao Chengyuan to return to his room. He was worried that his father would embarrass him, so he wrapped himself in a cloak and went to the outer study.

Zhao Chengyuan has only 3,000 soldiers plus bodyguards at his disposal. In the face of a powerful enemy of tens of thousands, what use will they have even if they have three heads and six arms?

But when all the truth comes out, how will You Ning feel if she learns that she owes the prince so much? Will she still be able to say those heartless words to the prince?

Zhao Chengyuan saluted and resigned.

This was the first time Han Youning saw him dressed up like this, and he lost sleep immediately. He got out of bed, looked at him and laughed, "What did the prince think at the beginning? Wouldn't it be good to portray yourself as a jade-faced general?"

Zhao Chengyuan put his arms around her waist, kissed her on the forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "You go to bed first."

"My son-in-law doesn't dare. My son-in-law will go back to Jinhe Hall to see You Ning first, and bring a jar of good wine over. We, our son-in-law, will have a drink and he will tell the truth."

When the queen woke up, Emperor Qingming was very calm. It seemed that everything was back to before. The queen's fainting was clearly caused by You Ning. Why didn't there be any disturbance when she woke up now?

Zhao Chengyuan looked at her for a moment, then reached out to take the book away from her hand, picked her up horizontally, and planned to take her to bed to sleep.

"I went back to the yard to get some wine! I took a look at his wife by the way." Han Jun said reservedly, "The biggest advantage of my son-in-law is that he is worried about his wife. Of course, he is also quite handsome and smart and motivated."

Zhao Chengyuan: "..."

"Since Your Excellency is here, there is no need to hide."

After two jars of wine, the two of them put their arms around each other and shouted "good brother" and "big brother" more and more smoothly.

Zhao Chengyuan took her to the inner room and put her on the bed, "You go to sleep first, don't wait for me."

"I still have some things to do and I have to go out in a while."

"Hey, call me brother!"

Han Jun saw the person coming clearly and said in surprise, "Good brother!"

After saying that, he let go of her and walked out of the room.

——

Zhao Chengyuan carried two jars of wine, avoided the guards in the mansion, and sneaked into Han Jun's outer study.

You Ning was leaning on a large pillow on the big Kang, holding a book in her hand, while she fell asleep. She was covered with a small quilt, with two kittens embroidered on it, and the embroidery thread was old and faded.

Zhao Chengyuan: "..."

Just because you reminded me like this, didn't your father-in-law notice anything wrong?

Zhao Chengyuan poured a cup of tea for Han Jun, "My father-in-law, don't worry, soldiers and horses are not a problem."

"Hey, that's right!"

Zhao Chengyuan didn't know what he was thinking at that time. Perhaps when he was young at that time, he was blinded by hatred and felt that he had turned into a devil. This ugly and terrifying mask suited him just right.

Han Youning opened his eyes dimly, "Your Majesty, are you done?"

Han Jun grabbed his arm and walked outside, smiling heartily and saying, "My son-in-law happens to be at home. I'll ask him to offer you a few glasses of wine later."

He leaned over and looked at her, "If I had met you earlier, I might have put on a better-looking mask."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "No need. My son-in-law has his own arrangements."

Han Jun walked out from behind the desk, stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Chengyuan's arm with both hands, and laughed, "I regret that I don't know when I will see my dear brother again. I didn't expect to see you so soon!"

Zhao Chengyuan came out from behind the screen and said with a hoarse voice, "Dong Guo Ding has a good ear."

Han Jun shook his head and said, "Pretending to be mysterious."

Han Jun comforted him, "You don't have to worry. Even if Lu Zhenan returns to the Jianzhou camp, I will still have many ways to move the troops away under his nose. Just tell me when to use the troops."

Han Youning: "..."

Zhao Chengyuan held the wine glass in his hand and looked up at Han Youning. The eyes behind the mask were smiling, "You are..."

"You Ning, your eldest niece!"

Han Jun answered for his daughter and pushed her forward, "Don't be afraid, he looks fierce, but he is actually a good person. Come on, give your uncle a gift!"
