Chapter 527 Big Surprise

"Are you here to persuade me to surrender, or to persuade me to marry into the Xiongnu family?"

The man chuckled, not in a hurry to answer him, and casually found a seat to sit down. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he looked at the boy in front of him.

That smile, in Huai Gujun's eyes, was mockery, amusement. He felt a little resentful, yet also felt that others should treat him this way at this moment.

Indeed, he was a defeated opponent, like a stray dog ​​in front of the victor. What did it matter if others mocked him a bit?
He glanced casually outside the tent a few times, hoping that no one in the darkness would see his disheveled state.

The man took a sip of tea before speaking: "Persuading someone to surrender or marry into the family are just means of recruiting talent. General, you are already the commander of the three armies of a great nation at such a young age. I do indeed intend to recruit you."

"The general looks a lot like an old acquaintance of mine, but that boy has grown up and completed his mission, and I don't know where he is now. It is I who have a connection with the general; I wonder if we could become friends?"

"friend?"

Huai Gujun's gaze turned cold, finding his words rather amusing.

The man did not seek a result, but only said, "If the general is unwilling, then so be it. But may I ask the general about someone?"

"General, you flatter me. I am still young and have not seen many people. I have come to this desolate land of Yanbei in haste, and I spend my days either training troops or studying military strategy. I am afraid I will disappoint you!"

"General, please don't be so quick to refuse. You should have met this person before, after all, you have even met the current emperor of the Northern Wind Kingdom."

"Who?"

The man didn't mince words: "Princess Yang Jinfan of the Northern Wind Kingdom."

Huai Gujun's body trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes again, trying to find something on that handsome face.

What's the use of looking good?

Could it be that he wants to take A-Fan away from me?

He should look in the mirror; does he even deserve it?

Ah Fan doesn't like old men!
He gritted his teeth, forcing out a sentence through the gaps: "So the general is looking for the eldest princess. She is renowned throughout the country; I have naturally met her. What do you want with her?"

The man laughed and said, "This is my private matter, so there's no need for you to worry about it, General. If you'd like to tell me, I'll have someone escort you back right now. As for the issue of marrying into the family, that's naturally up to you."

"Do you threaten me?"

Huai Gujun's eyes widened in anger, a trace of regret flashing through his mind. He shouldn't have let his curiosity get the better of him and let these villains bring him here. He was just someone who knew his tricks; he could have killed him with a little effort.

Now look what's happened! I've found myself a rival for love for no reason!

Yang Jinfan sat in the tree observing everything inside, and was somewhat surprised to suddenly hear his own name called.

She probably doesn't know anyone from Kunyu Kingdom, right?

Since this person is familiar with Brother Jun's tricks and specifically asked to see her, could he be Brother Jun's comrade-in-arms from a past life?
That's not quite right. None of Jun's comrades can outstrategically defeat him, and there aren't many who can make Jun suffer repeated defeats.

who can that be?

Yang Jinfan felt a surge of intense curiosity, completely unaware of the competitive spirit on Huai Gujun's face.

Want to see A-Fan? No way!
We finally got rid of Fan Zizheng, so where did this guy come from?
He has a phobia of older men; A-Fan had even yelled at him before because of that green tea girl, Fan!
Upon catching a glimpse of Huai Gu Jun's resentful expression, Toya, who had been listening in, could no longer sit still.

The goddess didn't care about General Gu's statement, but she did. General Gu was handsome and capable. It would be best if he agreed to marry into the grasslands. If he didn't agree, she couldn't let her father hurt him again!
"My Lord, do not forget the purpose of your visit!"

The man's expression darkened slightly: "Princess Toya, please don't be anxious. Perhaps General Gu is too embarrassed to speak his true feelings with you here. Why don't you go back to your tent and wait a moment? Men are always easier to talk to each other."

Huai Gujun instinctively wanted to retort, but was stopped by a dismissive glance from the man. Tuoya was indignant; they were clearly just trying to get rid of her and continue discussing the princess!

Recalling Gu Jun's expression just now, she felt a pang of jealousy. General Gu clearly cared a lot about that princess. Could that person be more beautiful than her?

She's the most beautiful girl on the entire grassland!

"Humph!"

Toya stomped her foot and left. The man glanced at her back but didn't care. He only looked up and met Huai Gujun's gaze.

Only the two of them remained in the tent. The patrolling Xiongnu soldiers around them had also been withdrawn. Yang Jinfan's eyes flickered slightly. He told the little Qilin to continue hiding in the tree and keeping watch, while he himself disappeared in a flash.

The man was about to pry open Huai Gujun's mouth when he noticed a ghostly figure suddenly appear in the tent. The figure's face was covered by a black cloth, but the exposed eyes were exceptionally bright, like twinkling stars.

Yang Jinfan cut to the chase: "May I ask what brings you here?"

A youthful yet familiar voice pierced his ears, and the pale-faced man turned around in surprise, overturning the teacup beside him.

"Xiao Fan!"

After finally seeing the man's face clearly, Yang Jinfan was stunned. His eyes quickly turned bloodshot, yet he couldn't believe it.

Yang Jinfan pulled off his mask and couldn't resist rushing over.

"grandfather!"

Huai Gu Jun suddenly looked up and carefully examined the man in the crescent-shaped white robe, searching for any resemblance between his features and that of the man from his previous life.

He suddenly realized that he did indeed look very much like General Yang!
Is it...

Yang Xiaotuo held Yang Jinfan tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth from his granddaughter. His face was full of love, but he couldn't help but shed tears.

They hadn't seen each other for a lifetime, and his little girl was still a child.

Yang Jinfan embraced Yang Xiaotuo's lean waist, her nose stinging with tears that quickly soaked her magnificent crescent-white brocade robe.

"Grandpa, I miss you so much!"

Yang Xiaotuo gently patted her back to comfort her: "Grandpa misses you too. Children should smile more, otherwise they will grow up to be little old men, like Grandpa."

Yang Jinfan raised her little face, her tears turning into a smile, with glistening teardrops still clinging to her cheeks.

"Grandpa isn't old now, he's young and handsome, even better looking than Huai Gujun!"

"Haha, my granddaughter has such good taste!"

The grandfather and grandson both looked at Huai Gujun, who was dumbfounded, and he seemed to only then realize what was going on!
"General, it's you! What brings you here?"

"Hmph, if I hadn't come, some people would not only have tried to kidnap my granddaughter, but they wouldn't even have recognized this old man!"

Huai Gu Jun was filled with shame. He had never seen the general's face when he was young, and now he was wearing a long robe with his hair tied up. He had been in this world for more than ten years, and the general's face in his memory had long been blurred.

"Ah Fan, how did you recognize the general?"

Yang Jinfan said with a grin, "I looked through my grandparents' wedding photos when they were young. My grandfather was a handsome young man back then! He looks nine-tenths like he does now."

Yang Xiaotuo proudly raised his handsome face, then rolled his eyes at Huai Gujun.
