Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1397 A good son-in-law asks for a hug

In the evening, Chu Qingyan and Xiao Xu accompanied Father Chu and Mother Chu for dinner.

While eating, Father Chu suddenly said out of nowhere, "Put the onion upside down, will we be homeless?"

This question made the whole table confused, Xiao Xu was the first to react, "Why did the old man say that?"

Father Chu touched his nose and confessed honestly, "Father heard today that many people are attacking our country, warehouse country, rotten flower country, building country and so on, and they will eat Xixuan soon. From now on we will live a life full of tears."

Chu Qingyan couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth. Where did daddy hear this? It's fine to use the wrong idiom, but such a high-ranking name has been grounded like this. Dad is so talented!

Although what Chu's father said was the truth, Xiao Xu couldn't help but smile, and Chu's mother couldn't help but her cheeks became hot, and she hurriedly explained for her husband, "Your father heard it from someone, and I couldn't remember it clearly, so I didn't remember it." It's a joke."

Xiao Xu said nothing happened, then turned to Father Chu and said, "We will not be homeless, let alone live a life full of tears, son-in-law can assure you."

Chu Qingyan really wanted to laugh, but when Big Ice Cube expressed her opinion, she immediately put away her smile, and said to her parents equally seriously, "Don't worry, parents, we will protect your safety, and besides, as long as there are you Now, no matter where it is, it’s home.”

Chu's mother nodded in relief, she did not misjudge the son-in-law, and her daughter was also very upbeat, feeling that her life was complete.

Father Chu also nodded with a serious look on his face, but he was handsome for only three seconds, and serious for only three seconds. He only heard Father Chu blinking and blinking his eyes and said to his son-in-law.

"Put the onion upside down, do you still need someone? The one who can fight."

When she walked out of her parents' tent, Chu Qingyan was still in a state of separation of body and soul. It was not until someone saluted them that her soul returned quickly. She strode up to the person in front and asked inexplicably, "Big ice cube, Why didn't you refuse Daddy's request?"

"It's rare for the old man to do something serious, and it's out of good intentions. As a junior, you shouldn't discourage his enthusiasm." Xiao Xu knew she would ask such a question, and said with a smile.

"It's true to say so, but why do you have to let him defeat the wood spirit and the ethereal spirit?" Chu Qingyan asked a question that was even more puzzling to her.

"Because the two of them are the most free at the moment."

"That was not what I meant!"

Xiao Xu stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at her with a smile on his face, "Do you think the old man can beat the two of them?"

Chu Qingyan shook her head without even thinking about it.

Xiao Xu raised his hand and scratched her nose, "That's right, is there any better way to persuade people than letting them quit? Isn't the problem solved? It can achieve the goal without hitting the old man, isn't it? The best of both worlds?"

Chu Qingyan couldn't care less about being molested, and thought that what Big Ice Cube said was reasonable. Seeing him walking away again, she couldn't help raising her foot to keep up. A thought suddenly flashed in her mind, what if Daddy really did it? ?However, this idea was quickly denied by her, she shook her head, and immediately trotted towards him.

When the two entered the main tent, there were already people waiting there.

Huo Ling and Tu Ling bowed to the two of them, and then without Xiao Xu's instructions, Tu Ling began to report.

"So far, the Nancang Army has captured five towns, the Junlan Kingdom has captured three, and the Loulan Kingdom has captured three. The number is still rising, affecting nearly twenty cities. Now Li Weiyuan has brought 20 The troops were divided into two groups to stop Nancang and Junlan, while the fourth prince led troops to Loulan, but they still couldn't keep up with their speed of seizing the city."

Xiao Xu frowned. He didn't expect the speed of the Three Kingdoms to be so fast. Are they too weak, or the opponent's strength is too strong?
At this moment, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "Loulan Kingdom has the least number of people, why did it take as many cities as Junlan Kingdom? I remember that the defenses in those places were not weak, why were they defeated three times in a row so quickly?" city?"

This question was exactly what Xiao Xu was puzzled by, and Huo Ling at the side immediately moaned and mourned, "You two masters, you don't know, according to our brother's report, those people from the Loulan Kingdom are not good-for-nothing, they carry poison with them, put When it comes out, it can make people retreat without fighting, which is very terrifying."

poison?

Chu Qingyan thought of the scorpions, centipedes, and cobras all over the ground, and felt itchy all over.

Although the poison she imagined was different from those in Loulan Kingdom, at least the toxicity was similar.

"What is the origin of this Loulan country?" Chu Qingyan couldn't help but rubbed her arms.

Huo Ling shook his head with an ugly expression on his face, "Although I don't know much about it, but dating back to 100 years ago, our Taizong sent troops to bring the Loulan Kingdom into its territory, but halfway through, a hundred thousand soldiers were lost. It’s very strange that the emperor sent people to investigate for many years, but there was no result. It’s as if 10 people have evaporated from the world, and no one has seen them again.”

"Could it be that those people were..." treated as food by poison?Chu Qingyan's face was slightly pale, which is beyond the description of being terrible.

Xiao Xu's face darkened, "Huo Ling, ask Shui Ling to check the details of Loulan Kingdom."

Huo Ling didn't delay, and immediately got out of the tent.

"What's the news from the capital?" Xiao Xu asked.

"Some time ago, the third prince used some tricks to make Liang and Fu's family dog ​​bite the dog, and bit the hair out of their mouths. His Majesty was furious and arrested many ministers and imprisoned them. Now that the Three Kingdoms are attacking, there are not many people in the court. , The move of the third prince has caused His Majesty a headache. Someone has already asked you to go back, but His Majesty is putting on airs and talking about it. Let the people in the court speak, and when the time is right, he will of course let go."

Xiao Xu nodded, as he guessed.

"Oh, by the way, master, this is a letter sent by the third prince, and there is a piece of jade pendant in it." Tu Ling immediately took out these two things from his bosom and handed them over.

Xiao Xu first took the jade pendant in his hand, played with it, and found that there was a thick written on it, and his eyes were confused. It should be something that the third brother carried with him or had some special meaning. Why did he just give it to him?Xiao Xu opened the letter with doubts.

After bowing his head and quickly browsing through the information, the frown on Xiao Xu's face suddenly relaxed. This change made Chu Qingyan happy, "What did the third prince write in the letter that made you so happy?"

Xiao Xu stretched out his hand in front of her, and saw the jade pendant fell from his fingertips, and he wrapped the red thread around his ring finger. Through the firelight, she observed carefully, but she couldn't find anything.

He just listened to the humanity in front of him, "I was worried about soldiers and horses, and my third brother sent me a solution, a hundred thousand troops."
