Rebirth of the perfect brother-in-law
Chapter Eighteen Fear
The Jie Feng Banquet was carried out in a stumbling manner and there was no atmosphere at all.
Chu Nan's unreasonable and arrogant behavior left Guo Liang helpless.
When you are angry, he will stand up and talk down to you. Just when you think you are trying to convince him and you are satisfied, he will immediately turn against you, leaving no room for words or actions, and will definitely make you turn around and become shameless.
After playing with Chu Nan for several rounds, Guo Liang felt that Chu Nan was really difficult to deal with. He was so proficient in messing around that he would be stunned by him if he was not careful.
Chu Nan immediately showed the knife.
Guo Liang toasted another glass of wine with other Yongzhou officials, then directly pointed the finger at Chu Kuang and said casually: "I heard that General Chu changed the marching route?"
"It's me!" Without waiting for Chu Kuang's answer, Chu Nan replied nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Why is Mr. Guo so concerned about the affairs of the mission? It seems that we are not under your control, right?"
Of course not.
In this mission with a special mission, except for Chu Nan who jumped out on his own, the others were appointed by Emperor Liang, including three thousand forbidden troops. How could it be Guo Liang's turn to take charge?
Of course, Guo Liang would not be easily fooled again. He chuckled and said, "Master Chu is joking again... Actually, I want to ask, did several ballistas fall from the mountain?"
This question is a trap.
There was only one body that fell from the mountain. The others who were missing should be in the Yang family's village outside the city.
Only six people including Chu Nan, Chu Kuang, and Li Zhen knew about this inside story.
Chu Nan didn't know if anyone had told Guo Liang the inside story. Although the interception of ordnance often happened, it could even be said that it was banned repeatedly, but the real evidence was definitely a serious crime that was not easy to get rid of. If the answer was wrong and someone was caught, there would be trouble in the future.
Infinity, and there are so many people here, there is no chance for me to change my mind in the future.
Guo Liang chuckled lightly and glanced at Li Zhen.
This matter is not suitable for making a big fuss, let alone involve Yang Shouye, otherwise he is probably seeking death. With this, it should not be difficult to make the Chu brothers bow their heads.
Li Zhen, Leng Yun and others will not interrupt randomly at this time.
Just as Chu Kuang was about to speak, Chu Nan shook his head gently.
Seeing that many people were looking this way, and the matter involved was not trivial, Chu Nan had no choice but to shirk it, "Oh, Mr. Guo is very concerned about military affairs!"
Guo Liang smiled and felt a little annoyed after hearing Chu Nan's words. Once Chu Kuang came back, the military power would definitely be handed over. Fortunately, Yang Shouye did not come back. He could justifiably ask for a share and prevent Chu Kuang from monopolizing the power.
He said calmly: "What I blame is that the number of ordnance in the warehouse is wrong. Of course I have to ask..."
Chu Kuang frowned.
Chu Nan chuckled.
Guo Liang is waiting to get the handle.
At this time, a government official came in quietly and said something in Guo Liang's ear.
Guo Liang was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Chu Nan subconsciously. Looking at his smile, it was clear that there was something unfathomable about it.
"Master Guo, what's important?" Chu Nan asked with concern.
"Haha..." Guo Liang laughed twice and said softly with a strange look on his face, "Some people just came from the village outside the city and said they found several ballistas lost by the Imperial Army in the mountains..."
"Oh..." Chu Nan nodded and said with emotion, "Master Guo still governs well, and there are no stray items found on the roads in the territory..."
Guo Liang's laughter became even more dry, pretending that he didn't hear Chu Nan's sarcasm.
Who here doesn't know that the Tu people outside Yongzhou City are a country within a country. They don't even obey the orders of Emperor Liang, so how can they govern them well?
Don’t pick up leftovers on the road? Thank God if the Tu people don’t rob everyone during the day!
……………………………………………… The emergence of such a variable made Guo Liang’s wishful thinking completely come to nothing.
The most reliable plan fell short, Guo Liang's interest was greatly reduced, and he no longer wanted to make things difficult, and the reception banquet was quickly concluded.
Today's reception banquet can be regarded as an eye-opener for the officials and gentry of Yongzhou.
The fight between the two men was peaceful on the surface, but even sitting ten feet away, one could feel the sinister wind and murderous aura.
I haven’t seen such a scene of a battle between gods and gods in many years. The key is that both sides are equally matched. The young Chu Nan is not far behind against the old and cunning Guo Liang!
The most surprising thing is that in the end, it was clear that Mr. Guo had already grasped the opponent's advantage, but suddenly let him go. This was really confusing, and made him more and more in awe of General Xiao Chu... Such ups and downs
, a story with constant twists and turns, it will be a great source of conversation after returning home. If you carefully ponder it, you may be able to understand some of its secrets, and you will be more confident when choosing sides in the future.
, everyone else dispersed one by one.
Leng Yun wants to go back to recover from his injuries, and Dugu Qiu wants to go back to make out with the twins.
Chu Nan also stood up and left.
Chu Kuang greeted him, dismissed his soldiers, and followed him.
Chu Nan knew that Chu Kuang had something to say, so he made a gesture to let Chu Kuang speak.
"Just now..." Chu Kuang smiled, "Just now, the Yang Family Tuzhai sent people to send back those ballistas... saying that they were entrusted by the Forbidden Army and found them in the mountains and forests..."
Chu Nan smiled. Since the ballista was back and the Yang family was involved, Guo Liang had no choice but to let it go.
As for why the ballista appeared in the mountains and forests, no one would be stupid enough to find out.
"Have you made such arrangements a long time ago..." Chu Kuang asked calmly.
Chu Nan shook his head and said softly: "No... I just said a lot of harsh words to that old fox at Yang's house... I guess it scared him..." The ballista was sent back, but Chu Nan didn't know
What does Yang Shouli mean?
Do you still need to draw a clear line and don't want to offend Guo Liang, or do you guess that Guo Liang will attack and save yourself?
Or, achieve both goals at the same time?
He is really an unpredictable old fox, and his behavior is really interesting.
Chu Kuang nodded, without asking any questions, and said softly: "Today is not a reception banquet. For you and me, this is the Hongmen Banquet..."
Chu Nan snorted and asked, "How do you say that?"
Chu Kuang sneered twice and said lightly: "In the few months since I left Yongzhou, he has completed the purge of the inner city army. Many generals who are familiar with me have been idle. Even my deputy general Ye Zuo
I almost got fired..."
Chu Nan frowned, but he didn't expect Guo Liang to be so bold. Foreign enemies were pressing on the territory, and he went so far as to purge the army.
Chu Kuang continued: "Today's reception banquet is all for his confidants, and people like Ye Zuo were not notified. If he had an attack on the spot, most people would be biased towards him, which would be very dangerous..."
Of course Chu Nan understood this. Even if he couldn't be convicted on the spot, Chu Kuang's prestige in the army would be damaged if the incident spread. More importantly, it might make Emperor Liang suspicious and even replace Chu Kuang altogether.
This is not an exaggeration. Sometimes the emperor does not need a crime to suppress you, he just needs an idea and an excuse.
Chu Kuang patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, chuckled and said: "I was worried that you would fight him head-on. The government office is his territory, and you will definitely suffer the loss... Now I'm relieved, you are very slippery.
…”
Chu Nan smiled lightly and whispered: "I will keep fighting with him. You only need to control the army. If the army is stable, there will be no chaos in Yongzhou. If there is no chaos in Yongzhou, there will be no trouble in the northwest..."
Chu Kuang nodded slightly.
……………………………… Back to the Yang Mansion, Chu Nan did not see Yang Shouli.
Maybe he still doesn't like to come into contact with such a sharp and prickly junior like himself.
Chu Nan is also happy to be quiet. If he can think about it, it will be great and everyone will be happy. Even if he can't think about it and continues, Chu Nan doesn't care.
When something happened to the Yang family in Yongzhou, it was Yang Shouye who solved it, and it was not his turn as an outsider to intervene.
Perhaps this cunning old fox will understand through some hardships that his little cleverness is not enough to control himself.
……………… Chu Nan temporarily forgot about the old fox and went to the small courtyard to care for a little fox.
Linglong had never been out so far before, and the journey was bumpy, tiring, and bloody. Chu Nan was surprised that she hadn't fallen ill yet.
Chu Nan pushed the door open and went in, only to find Linglong sitting pitifully on the bedside with her knees in her arms. She walked over and shouted softly: "Linglong..."
Linglong was startled. When she looked up, Chu Nan forced a smile and said weakly: "Uncle..."
Chu Nan saw that Xiao Linglong's face turned pale. She was so thin and pitiful. He reached out and touched Linglong's forehead and asked, "Are you sick?"
Linglong did not dodge, but let Chu Nan put his hand on her forehead and said with a chuckle: "No..."
Suddenly, he turned his head to avoid Chu Nan's hand, smiled shyly and inhaled: "It's so cold..."
Chu Nan laughed dumbly.
The winter in Yongzhou is very cold, and my hands are naturally very cold when I come back from outside.
Perhaps being away from Yangmei and shouldering the heavy responsibility of taking care of her clothes made Linglong more courageous. She carefully took Chu Nan's hand and held it with both hands. She used her palms to warm Chu Nan. She then looked down at her small palms. I'm sorry.
He said: "My uncle's hands are so big..."
Chu Nan chuckled and sat next to Linglong. He held the little girl in his arms regardless of Linglong's weak resistance. She was so weak and didn't weigh much at all. He said softly: "Are you afraid?"
Linglong was stunned and suddenly cried.
The bumps along the way were nothing, but when I was intercepted and killed by barbarians and heard the loud noise of killing outside, I was naturally very frightened.
Yang Mei, her biggest supporter, was not around, so Linglong could only bear it by herself. She was worried about Chu Nan and couldn't help but look outside. Obviously, the tragic scene was beyond the limit that the little girl could bear. When she heard Chu Nan's
He comforted her softly, and all the fear, panic and grievance suddenly came up. She hugged Chu Nan's neck and lay on Chu Nan's shoulder, crying.
Chu Nan waited until Linglong was tired from crying, then he carefully held her in his arms and put his forehead against hers. He found that it was not hot and said softly: "Okay... take a nap when you are tired from crying... Today I will
Not going anywhere, just sleeping with Linglong in his arms..."
Linglong cried and twitched again and again. Looking at Chu Nan with misty eyes, she could feel his manly breathing. She took the initiative to kiss Chu Nan on the mouth for the first time, smiled shyly, and leaned against Chu Nan.
On Nan's shoulder, he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
