After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 498 I Love You (Part [-])
In order to reasonably explain their presence in Xiliang, Zhao Chengyuan didn't know how many arrangements he had made so that Emperor Qingming couldn't find any flaws.

Looking back on this year, he seems to have calculated every step he takes, and every word and deed has a purpose. Even if they get married, they have to work hard to get it.

Han Youning sighed, "My lord has worked so hard all these years, I feel tired just listening to it."

Zhao Chengyuan took her hand and led her to sit on the couch, "It's okay if I get used to it. If I make a wrong step, I won't be able to live to this day. A shrewd and powerful person like the King of Xiliang can fight against the emperor's brother." You are at a disadvantage, Brother Huang has his own advantages. Just wait and see, Lu Yushi will come to inquire about the news soon."

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Yushi came over with a pair of pheasants smiling.

"The next official went to the mountain to hunt it, and made soup for the prince and concubine."

Zhao Chengyuan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't show him any face at all, "Lord Lu has visited all the mountains around Ge Duo these days, right? Did you find out something wrong?"

Lu Yushi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare! I just love hunting. I don't have anything to do in the city, so I go hunting in the mountains to pass the time."

Zhao Chengyuan held the tea cover and slowly stirred the tea soup, and said in a low voice, "Lu Yushi is dedicated to his life, and it is strange that he still wants to hunt when he is in an enemy country."

Lu Yushi laughed apologetically, "The Xiliang army has not moved for a long time, so they dare to relax... No, they are all retreating now!"

"Dingguogong's son, in order to protect the peace of the Dazhou border, traveled across mountains and rivers to help the Northwest Army. What risks did he take in this? Mr. Lu, who was a military general, should be clear about it."

Lu Yushi repeatedly echoed, "Yes, yes. The prince has the world in mind, and the officials admire him very much."

"Then what are you worried about, why don't you tell me and listen."

Lu Yushi smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about..."

He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty heard that the Southwest Army has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Geduo, making the King of Xiliang feel as if he is facing an enemy, so Fang urgently dispatched a large army to Liuze for defense. But in fact, the Southwest Army is only [-]. It seems that the rumors cannot be believed."

Zhao Chengyuan said indifferently, "Soldiers never tire of cheating, Mr. Lu should know. One hundred thousand soldiers can be disguised as fifty thousand, and naturally they can also be disguised as one hundred and fifty thousand."

"What the prince said is true." Lu Yushi responded with a smile, but then said, "It's really strange that the Xiliang army's [-] soldiers and horses were forced to retreat by Ding Guogong's [-] soldiers and horses. I heard that The Xiliang army is tough and brave, it seems nothing more than that now."

"You should have read the peace negotiation letter from the King of Xiliang to Duke Ding. Everyone belongs to you, and the border remains unchanged."

"I have read it. It's just...Geduo was captured by the Southwest Army with great pains, but now he wants to return it. Isn't the prince's visit in vain?"

Zhao Chengyuan's eyes were slightly cold, "It's a waste of time? The Southwest Army came to Xiliang, allowing Da Zhou to keep the peace in the Northwest without a single soldier. It has already won without a fight. What do you do? If not, the king is the master." How about leaving you here and guarding this city of Geduo?"

Lu Yushi hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your official made a slip of the tongue, my lord forgive me!"

Zhao Chengyuan lowered his eyes and drank his tea unhurriedly.

This Lu Yushi is notoriously difficult to deal with, he is tough and never really afraid of anyone.This is true for generals, and it is also true for civil servants.Because of this, he is highly regarded by the emperor.

Emperor Qingming lost a long-sleeved and good at dancing Marquis Yongping, and Lu Yushi was the one who could best share the burden for him.

In the short time since Lu Yushi came to Geduo, he was able to discover the inappropriate number of soldiers and horses, as well as the strangeness of Xiliang.If he hadn't withdrawn his private soldiers early, he might have been exposed by now.

Lu Yushi knelt for a cup of tea, but the prince didn't tell him to get up, so he could only kneel.

Seeing that the prince kept silent, he coughed lightly twice.

Zhao Chengyuan raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, "Why is Lord Lu still here? You are an imperial envoy representing the emperor, how can you do such a big gift to me. Get up."

Lu Yushi thanked him and stood up, "Even if the official is an imperial envoy, I can kneel down as well as the prince and the princess. It's a pity that the princess is sick, so I can't kneel down to pay my respects..."

He had a worried expression on his face, "My lord has been away for half a month this time. I don't know if I can find a thousand-year-old snow lotus?"

Zhao Chengyuan put his hands on his knees, and said in a low voice, "Why, Lu Yushi is not only suspicious of Duke Ding, but also the king?"

Seeing that he didn't answer directly, Lu Yushi became more and more suspicious. It's really hard to say what he did in the past half month.

"I don't dare! I just want to relieve the prince's worries..."

Zhao Chengyuan opened the box, and a pair of snow lotus flowers inside appeared in front of Lu Yushi.

"The biggest flower is only five or six hundred years old. If you have the ability to find a thousand-year-old flower, you can ask for as much silver as you want."

As soon as Lu Yushi glanced at it, he could see that the snow lotus was freshly picked, and such a big one was extremely rare, and it was hard to come by.If you want to obtain it temporarily from others, the possibility is extremely small.

The doubts in his heart disappeared, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm afraid I don't have that much ability."

The box closed with a snap, and Zhao Chengyuan said coldly, "I have no skills, so what are you talking about here?"

Lu Yushi could hear the anger in it, and he didn't dare to challenge King Jin's patience any more, so he left in a hurry.

Han Youning was terrified in the inner room.

If Zhao Chengyuan didn't think of it one step at a time, Emperor Qingming would probably catch him.

Zhao Chengyuan pushed open the inner room door and came in, smiling at the dazed little girl, "It's not such a thrilling thing, why this expression?"

Han Youning got up from the couch, slipped into Zhao Chengyuan's arms and hugged his waist, "I just love you."

Zhao Chengyuan's eyebrows and eyes softened, and he felt sorry for him... Everyone else respected him, feared him and guarded against him, but this little girl said that she loved him.

He patted her on the back, "With your words, being a husband doesn't feel hard at all."

That is to say, he used to feel hard.

Han Youning raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Your lord has [-] private soldiers in his hands. It would be far-fetched to say that it is for self-protection. But in the previous life until my death, you never rebelled. Why?"

Zhao Chengyuan pinched her nose, "Why do you say so?"

Han Youning thought for a moment.

"The time has not yet come?"

"The prince has no intention of taking the throne?"

Zhao Chengyuan looked at her with a smile and remained silent.

Han Youning shook his arm, "Why?"

Zhao Chengyuan opened his arms, "Help me change my clothes."

"Your hand is obviously healed."

"It still hurts. Frostbite on the snow mountain."

Han Youning stretched out his hands and looked back and forth. His hands were as long as jade, and there was no frostbite there.

She gave him an angry look, "It turns out that the prince can also tell lies."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Internal injury, you can't see it."

Han Youning pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head to change his clothes, "Since the prince likes me to change your clothes, to be honest, you don't need to find so many reasons."

Zhao Chengyuan laughed ho ho.
