Hold On, General

37. Transaction

Zhan Ling Yan and Yun Xian lingered for a long time. Zhan Ling Yan wanted to punish Xiao Xian-er a little bit to make Xiao Xian-er have a longer memory, but then the love desire became more and more prosperous, coupled with the fueling of the love in his body, it was difficult for him to stop even if he wanted to.

Yun Xian had to be forced to stand up on the bed, his body was full of traces left after the passion, his consciousness was blurred, his fatigue was very strong, and finally, he fell asleep extremely tired.

Zhan Ling Yan held him in his arms, and the delicate feeling of skin-to-skin made him enjoy it very much, so he didn’t leave immediately. He hadn’t eaten Yun Xian so well for a long time, and he just felt indescribably comfortable and satisfied.

It was past noon when Yun Xian woke up, and Zhan Ling Yan had already prepared for them to eat, so he ordered people to bring it up and eat with him. At this moment, Xiao Wang Ye suddenly got out of the palace and immediately rushed to the hall.

“Xiao Yun Xian~ I’m here~” Genius Long smiled and entered the door. Yun Xian looked up. Both of them were startled. They both looked at the new marks on each other’s necks. After a while, they suddenly glanced at each other and choked.

Genius Long suddenly rushed forward, Yun Xian opened his arms to greet him, his eyes filled with tears.

General Gu froze, Zhan Ling Yan squinted his eyes, and the next moment the two of them moved in unison. General Gu stretched out his long arms and grabbed Xiao Wang Ye by the collar to prevent him from going any further. Zhan Ling Yan hugged Yun Xian and took him into his arms and hold him tightly.

So the two had to stretch out their hands laboriously, shaking each other in the air, their expressions extremely sad.

“Xiao Yun Xian!”

“Brother!”

Genius Long was even sad: “Xiao Yun Xian!”

Yun Xian also became sadder and sadder: “Brother!”

The two of them began to wail together: “Whhhhhh!”

General Gu and Zhan Ling Yan: “…”

Zhan Ling Yan glanced at Yun Xian, used some strength in his hands to bring him to his arms again, completely separated them, and then handed him the chopsticks: “Eat obediently, stay away from him in the future, every time you mix with him, it’s not normal.”

Genius Long suddenly withdrew his hand because of Yun Xian and his body fell back uncontrollably, just in time to plunge into the arms of facial paralysis. General Gu symbolically wiped the nonexistent tears on his face with his sleeves, touched his head again, and said indifferently: “He has a point, you stay away from Yun Xian in the future. Stay away.”

“What do you know?” Genius Long was heartbroken, “You don’t understand anything at all!”

Yun Xian nodded. They are two great young people of the 21st century. They have never killed anyone and never let go of the fire. Their future is bright, but they are so immortal that they are crushed by the ancients here, and they will never turn over again in this life. What a tragic thing this is!

Zhan Ling Yan looked sideways at Yun Xian, smiled and asked in a low voice: “If I remember correctly, this is not the first time you have been crushed, right? Or is it because of a coincidence today that you just happened to meet after being pressed, and you are the same people who have fallen to the end of the world, huh?”

“…” Genius Long looked at him silently, secretly saying that he was worthy of being a man who had been fighting Xiang Honghui for so long. Wow, this keen observation!

Yun Xian didn’t answer and obediently lowered his head to eat. When Yun Xian saw someone rubbing over and sitting down, he raised his head in surprise and asked, “Why did your brother agree to you coming out?”

“Well, if I said I wanted to come to see you, he would be allowed,” Genius Long said, “You are also the prince now, do you want to build a mansion?”

“It’s a waste to build a mansion,” Yun Xian said, then thought for a while, and said with a smile, “Brother, otherwise I will live with you, and it will be more convenient to play.”

Genius Long was startled and happy: “Well, if he bullies you in the future, you will go back to your brother’s house, and your brother will take care of you for the rest of your life.”

“Hmm!”

Zhan Ling Yan listened quietly but did not speak in the end, but after the meal, he glanced at Yun Xian, who was aware of it, and asked, “Brother, do you mean to make me a prince or do you mean to be your brother?”

“My brother.” Genius Long knew what they were going to ask, so he said honestly, and finally said, “My brother has no problem with you marrying Zhan Ling Yan, so I guess he just wants to order something from Gushu.”

Zhan Ling Yan squinted his eyes and smiled. Xiao Wang Ye had already recognized Yun Xian as his younger brother. If the Emperor of Shenghua really wanted something, he could just cut directly from this point. There is no need to bother so much, but he sealed Yun Xian with great fanfare. Prince, so it seems…That person may even be counted by Zenan.

This monarch of Shenghua is really not easy. Zhan Ling Yan smiled and chatted with them for a while. Xiao Wang Ye wanted to take Yun Xian to play. He acquiesced. He didn’t care or worry. Yun Xian had just been named the prince. Xiang Honghui dared to move him at this time unless he was crazy.

He watched them go out, got up and entered the palace to see what the monarch wanted to do.

The guards in the palace seemed to have already received the order, and they didn’t need to report it. They released him directly. The little eunuch led him to a bend of the blue water in the imperial garden. He looked up and Long Juntian was leaning against the railing of the small pavilion on the lake to feed the fish. His eyes were very peaceful. When he saw him coming, he put down the bait and smiled at him. That smile was warm, without a trace of impurities, and almost harmless.

Zhan Ling Yan became more vigilant, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked slowly into the pavilion, bowed his hand slightly, and only listened to this humanity before he spoke: “The second prince doesn’t have to be polite, please sit down.”

He raised his eyebrows and sat down on the stone stool.

Long Juntian asked the little eunuch to pour the wine, and then asked everyone in the pavilion to go out, smiling and asking, “I wonder why the second prince came here today?”

Zhan Ling Yan’s eyes were dark, he glanced at him and suddenly smiled. He picked up his glass and took a sip of wine, and simply clarified: “You Majesty must already know this king’s intentions, right?”

Long Juntian’s smile deepened, and the man went straight to the subject, which saved each other a lot of polite words. He smiled and said, “I heard Haohao say that the prince wants to marry my brother?”

This puts the relationship on the table. Zhan Ling Yan squinted his eyes slightly and nodded with a smile: “Exactly, I wonder if the emperor can fulfil it?”

“It’s better to tear down a temple than to destroy a marriage,” Long Juntian said gently. “If the emperor(Gushu) has no objection to this matter, I will naturally be happy to see it happen…”

Zhan Ling Yan didn’t wait for him to finish speaking and immediately smiled: “That king thanked Your Majesty here.”

He only said this sentence and there was no following. It seemed that the marriage had been decided, and he was just about to get married, but he was not prepared to listen to his subsequent request at all.

Long Juntian couldn’t help thinking in his heart that the second prince of Gushu was indeed well-known and difficult to deal with, but…He turned his glass and said with a smile: “The prince not to be polite. I will let people calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac tomorrow. I finally recognized a younger brother. The wedding is naturally sloppy. I’m afraid it will take some time to prepare. Don’t blame the prince.”

The implication is that he can send someone to prepare for a month, or he can send someone to prepare for ten or twenty years. If you want to marry Yun Xian, just wait, as long as you can afford it.

Zhan Ling Yan’s smile remained unabated, but he accepted his fate in his heart. Whoever left him at a disadvantage from the beginning, blame him for being soft-hearted for a while, but now he finally made a big mistake. He smiled and said, “That’s natural. This king doesn’t want to wrong Xiao Xian-er. As for the dowry… I wonder what Your Majesty asks for?”

The smile at the corner of Long Juntian’s mouth deepened instantly, but the expression in his eyes was still harmless: “The prince is polite, the prince can figure out these things, but I heard Haohao say that there is a kind of Gu on his brother, I don’t know if it is true or not?”

Is this your purpose? Zhan Ling Yan looked at him quietly and told the truth: “It’s true. The name is Zhongqing Gu. There happens to be a pair left in this king. If the emperor likes this, this king will send someone to send it, but there is one thing to remind Your Majesty,” He said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, “This Gu…is only useful for men.”

Long Juntian nodded with a smile: “That’s it.”

Zhan Ling Yan knew from looking at him that he was going to use it on a man, but according to the information he had, the monarch of Shenghua was not very masculine. How could he suddenly have the idea of a man? And one thing worth noting is that this person is the emperor. If he sees anyone, does he still need to use Gu?

But the fact is that this person wants to love Gu, which means that the man he likes has a special identity, at least it is not a simple decree that can be obtained, and he named Yun Xian as the prince not only wants to calculate Gushu, but also intends to bring Zenan in… Zhan Ling Yan’s eyes flashed with golden light, and he smiled somewhat incredulously: “Xiang Honghui?”

Long Juntian raised his eyebrows, this time he really smiled, and praised: “It deserves to be the second prince, and it really deserves its reputation!”

The light in Zhan Ling Yan’s eyes became darker. He had thought that this person was just asking him for something, but now it seems that he was completely wrong. Loving Gu is just a windfall for this person. What this person really wants him to do is to help him deal with Xiang Honghui, and even help him deal with Zenan.

After Long Juntian finished drinking, he stretched out his hand and poured a glass. By the way, he helped Zhan Ling Yan fill the glass with a smile and said with a smile: “I heard from Haohao that Yuan Xian seems to have some problems with Zenan, so I’m afraid there’s another purpose for your visit to Shenghua apart from marrying, right?”

Zhan Ling Yan looked at him, even at this level his eyes were still unadulterated and harmless, he could not help but smile: “Your Majesty wants to think of a solution for the King once and for all?”

“Smart,” Long Juntian said, “Although I can’t let you kill him, I can make sure that he will stay by my side honestly in the future and will not trouble you again. How about it?”

Zhan Ling Yan didn’t answer but asked, “How much do Your Majesty know about him in Zenan? Although he is not a direct son, he has the strength to compete with the monarchs. Do you think he will let you tie up Shenghua?”

“I’ll let him sort out his problems,” Long Juntian laughed, “or else he’ll have to blame me for the rest of his life. What about the Prince, what do you think?”

“It would really take a lot of effort for this king to deal with him by myself,” Zhan Ling Yan didn’t hide it, and said with a smile, “Now that there is a chance to completely solve this trouble, this king naturally has no reason to refuse, right?”

“The prince is really a smart man.”

“Your Majesty is flattered.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they were both very satisfied with today’s transaction.

At this moment, Xiang Honghui, who was being talked about by them, was sleeping in the hall. The princess of Zenan pushed the door to Honghui and sat at the table to look at him: “Brother, Zhan Ling Yan has entered the palace.”

Xiang Honghui rolled over, raised his arms and lay reclining on the bed, his voice was lazy: “I know.”

“Will the emperor agree to Zhan Ling Yan?”

“Yes, he made this decree to let Zhan Ling Yan find him,” Xiang Honghui said with a smile, “And Zhan Ling Yan is simply unscrupulous in order to marry Yun Xian, and he will definitely agree to his terms.”

“In that case, when can you get Xiao Yun back?”

“It won’t work in the short term.”

“Brother, you are so incompetent.”

Xiang Honghui’s expression remained the same, he didn’t even blink his eyes and said with a smile: “If you were willing to give Shenghua’s Xiao Wang Ye medicine last time, we wouldn’t be so passive now. It’s a pity.”

Xiang Hongxi held her cheeks: “It’s not that you didn’t see General Gu behind him, I didn’t have a chance.”

“Well, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you will also enter the palace. I think Xiao Wang Ye is quite interested in you. Then you can see if you can find a chance.”

“Well,” Xiang Hongxi continued to look at him, “Brother, what do you think the emperor wants to do besides looking for Zhan Ling Yan, won’t he be calculating us?”

“I have already negotiated the tax a few days ago, and Zenan has nothing to make him miss,” Xiang Honghui narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes and smiled with a deep smile, “Except for people.”

Xiang Hongxi was taken aback for a short time, then smiled and said, “He has a good eye, brother, why don’t you just follow him? Or do you use a beautiful man to ask him to return Xiao Yun to us, how about?”

“I’ll think about it,” Xiang Honghui still looked lazy before, unchanged at all, “If you give me a blind pill, I can try it tomorrow to see if he really… has a crush on me.”

……

The news of Yun Xian’s appointment as the prince spread all over the streets, nine of the ten people were talking about it, and the remaining one was dumb. Genius Long dragged Yun Xian around the streets of the capital, and then quickly stopped in a small courtyard. Yun Xian took a look and asked puzzledly: “Brother, I originally thought you would go to ask for the account first today.”

“I want it too.” Genius Long said woodenly. He originally put away the bills properly last night, but then his clothes were pulled by his man and thrown into a mess. Today, he had to change his clothes and leave the palace. When he walked to the hall, he remembered that the bills were still wrapped in last night’s clothes and he didn’t take them.

Yun Xian blinked at him with beautiful eyes for a long time, and asked tentatively: “You…forgot to bring it?”

Genius Long looked at him silently, Yun Xian shook his head, and obediently stepped forward and knocked on the door. It was the housekeeper who opened the door. He had seen these two people last time, and General Gu behind them, the communication was saved, and they were released directly: “The young master is in the study. Please go to the front hall and wait for a while. The little one will call.”

“Don’t bother, let’s go find him by ourselves,” Genius Long said, “Oh, how is that Xiaocao doing recently?”

“Very good,” the housekeeper said, “The young lady’s health has been recuperating well. Recently, Miss Xin’er has always come to accompany her, so she won’t feel bored.”

“Oh~” Genius Long and Yun Xian stretched their voices in unison. After a few days of not seeing the housekeeper, they had already started calling Xiao Chong “Young Lady”. Is this Xiaohua’s instruction?

Yun Xian smiled: “Who is that Miss Xin’er?”

“She is the daughter of the master’s old friend, and she has been a childhood sweetheart with the young master since she was a child,” the housekeeper said, “Oh, Miss Xin’er is also here today, and she is chatting with the young lady.”

“Hey…” Genius Long and Yun Xian laughed together, causing the housekeeper to shake inexplicably.

General Gu stepped forward: “It’s nothing to do with you, go ahead, let’s go find Bai Lian by ourselves.”

The housekeeper responded and hurriedly retreated.

General Gu took Genius Long’s hand and walked forward, and asked lightly: “Are you going to see Xiao Chong and Xin’er?”

“Hmm!” Genius Long nodded obediently, and after a second, he couldn’t help but touch his nose. He had been with him for a long time with facial paralysis, and he got to know him more and more.

General Gu pulled him through the cloister and continued to move forward. There was a round doorway. As soon as they were about to pass, they heard a little voice: “Sister, Brother Lian and I have grown up together since we were young. I really like him.”

“Sister, I can see it,” Xiaocao said, “I also hope you can be happy.”

“No,” the girl choked, “Sister, you don’t understand. Brother Lian has been watching you longer than me.”

“Sister, what are you talking nonsense about,” Xiaocao said. “I am just a remnant flower, not to mention pregnant. Just talking about the appearance, mine is rough compared to you. Besides, I am taller than him. How could he like me?”

The person cried in a low voice: “But I really think so. Sister, have mercy on me and fulfil us. My family has a small courtyard outside the city. If sister doesn’t dislike it, go and live there.”

“Sister, stop talking, I’m going to pack my things.” The voice stopped here for a while, and then the sound of opening and closing the door quickly sounded. After another while, a familiar figure appeared in front of them. The man was startled when he saw them and gritted his teeth in a low voice, “It’s all your fault!” Then he crossed them and walked quickly to one side. General Gu took a look. There was the direction of the study room, and he was silent for a while.

For a short time, they saw two figures appear in sight one after the other.

“Xiaocao, where are you going?”

Xiao Chong’s eyelashes drooped slightly, and he whispered: “The slave family is an unknown, how can you keep me living here, you… you’d better let me go.”

“No,” Bai Lian said solemnly, “You are a girl and you are pregnant. Where can you go? Besides, I promised Xiao Wang Ye to take care of you for life. How can you just leave?”

“But I…I…”

“What are you?”

“I can’t delay you, it’s offensive…”

Bai Lian frowned suddenly: “Who said that?”

“No…no one…”

Bai Lian wanted to continue asking. At this time, Xin’er also came out. It was the woman who stood with Bai Lian on the street last time. She didn’t look at the people around her, but stared at the two people not far away, and suddenly cried.

Xiao Chong glanced at her, suddenly taken aback, turned his head and ran, pinching his handkerchief to cover his face and said, “You’d better let me go.”

Bai Lian naturally caught up, only to hear a scream, Xiao Chong accidentally twisted his foot and fell to the side. Bai Lian quickly catch him in his arms and then hugged him horizontally regardless of his struggle. He staggered for an instant, secretly saying that it was so heavy, sure enough, pregnant people are different.

He turned around and carried him back to the house, only then did he see a group of people standing in front of the doorway, opened his mouth, and couldn’t say a word.

Xin’er had already washed her face in tears and turned her head and ran away when she saw this scene, while the remaining people looked at them silently.

Bai Lian felt a little sore in his arms, so he decided to take Xiaocao in first, so he nodded to them, crossed them and entered the house. Xiao Chong was hugged by him, and the hand that hooked his neck raised his middle finger angrily at the stupid duo. He got acquainted with these two people and learned a few things. This is one of them.

Genius Long and Yun Xian: “…”

General Gu looked at them and stretched out his hand to shake in front of them.

Genius Long and Yun Xian didn’t respond: “…”

“…” General Gu continued to shake.

Genius Long grasped his hand in a daze: “I have done iniquity.”

Yun Xian nodded lightly: “Yes.”

“……”

At this time, Bai Lian had already turned back, and Genius Long threw down his paralyzed hand and rushed forward abruptly, looking at him almost pathetically: “Xiaohua…you…you actually…”

Bai Lian shook suddenly and took a step back silently.

Yun Xian also stepped forward and said sadly: “Xiaohua, why is your life always so miserable!”

“……”
