Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 880
The people who spoke outside had already approached the tent, and as soon as they finished speaking, Chu Qingyan heard the sound of lifting the curtain.

After seeing each other for four full years, she was a little emotional. The boy who followed her back then did not know what he looked like now.

"Who is making noise outside?" Xiao Xu's cold voice sounded.

A white shadow walked in first, but he didn't walk fast. With just one glance, he saw the bright red blood stains on the single clothes, his pale and bloodless face, and he seemed to be struggling from the edge of life and death.

However, even though he looks so desolate, the light from outside spreads behind him, and the outline that cannot be seen clearly becomes clear gradually, like a piece of high-quality rough jade, blooming with dazzling light.

And at this moment, the person who came seemed to be involved in the wound because of his swift action, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but the blood on his clothes became even more red.

Cheng Yanluo couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to take a good look at him.

It's just that this person seemed to only see the person sitting behind the desk. He staggered two steps, and after standing still, he took a deep breath before walking up slowly.

Chu Qingyan thought that this was not a good time to get to know each other, so she retreated to the original place. At the same time, she saw the soldiers following him, so she gave up and stepped forward to support his precarious body.

Xiao Ran's eyes were tightly locked on the person in front of him. He still had the same calm and calm look when he left four years ago. He hasn't changed a bit for so many years.

This is the person he has always admired since he was a child. Xiao Ran subconsciously bit his lower lip, resisting the pain in his body, and tried to make every step as steady as possible.

He couldn't lose face in front of the emperor, he always wanted to let the emperor know that he has really worked hard for so many years.

But I didn't expect that when we met again, I would be so embarrassed.

He threw off the support of the people behind him and walked towards the center step by step.

And Xiao Xu sat still, watching him coming with cold eyes, neither of them opened their mouths, and the people on the side seemed to feel something was wrong with the atmosphere.

After he stood still, he squirmed his lower lip, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his face was painful, "Brother Dahuang, I'm sorry for Xixuan, my father and the people!"

Desperately suppressing the emotions, it failed when he opened his mouth.

The hoarse voice was full of pain and remorse.

"It's just a few defeats. Now look up for me. You are the prince of Xixuan and the current commander-in-chief of the three armies. The general will not fall, and the army will not be disturbed. What are you doing now!"

After he finished venting, Xiao Xu spoke calmly, but every word hit the point, hitting his heart directly.

Only then did Xiao Ran raise his head slowly, the redness in his eyes was like a cornered little beast, he didn't dare to look directly at Brother Elder Emperor just now, now he felt remorseful and relaxed after hearing his words.

This is the person he has always admired. A few words saved him from a dead end.

"Brother Emperor, I already know about the imperial decree. Now that you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I am willing to step down."

Xiao Ran didn't take this position as a souvenir, it was originally won by his father for him, he was still ambitious and wanted to make a big career, how could he think that talking about war on paper is really a very sad thing.

At this point, it can finally be returned to its original owner.

Xiao Ran stepped forward, took out a token from his sleeve and put it on the desk.

Huo Ling and Tu Ling at the side saw the token that His Majesty took away from the master four years ago, and now it was sent back in such a situation, both of them felt a lot of emotion.

"What's the matter with your injury?" Xiao Xu didn't look at the token, but paused for a while on his chest, and asked with a frown.

Following his gaze, Xiao Ran lowered his head, with bitterness on the corner of his mouth, "I was defeated in the last battle and left the city, but encountered an ambush. I narrowly escaped death and returned to the camp today."

He said it easily, but the narrow escape really made him wander from the gate of hell before returning.

Xiao Xu nodded, he knew about the disappearance of the fourth emperor brother, and now that he was standing in front of him, he felt relieved.

"You have almost zero combat experience. This time you participated in the battle and acted as the leader. It's a bit embarrassing for you. Regardless of your success or failure in the past six months, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Seeing the blood on his chest, Xiao Xu thought for a while Think, or comfort him a few words.

Although the struggle for power in the court has entered a fierce stage, but this imperial brother, he has never treated him wrong since he was a child, and he still does now.

"Brother Huang, you don't need to comfort me, I know myself." Xiao Ran was very depressed.

"You are seriously injured, go down and rest first, and talk about other things after your body recovers."

Xiao Xu knew that he couldn't get out of this shadow for a while, and needed some time to adjust, so he stopped talking to him.

Xiao Ran knew that the eldest brother was busy as soon as he arrived at the barracks, and he had better not disturb him, but there was something that was always hidden in his heart, if he didn't ask it now, he might not be able to eat or fall asleep.

"Brother Emperor, there is something I want to ask you." Xiao Ran summoned up his courage and said.

Xiao Xu picked up the document without raising his eyebrows, "Ask."

Standing aside, Chu Qingyan saw Xiao Ran's desolation and self-blame since he came in, without the high-spirited and unreasonable rashness when he was in the capital, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

Thinking about it, he must have suffered a lot at this stage, otherwise the person who was so fond of laughing back then would show a dejected look from time to time.

Now that she heard him ask, she also became curious, and he hesitated what he wanted to ask.

But at this moment, Cheng Yanluo suddenly entered the tent, she walked up to Chu Qingyan and whispered a few words, Chu Qingyan looked at Xiao Ran who was standing anxiously, and then followed Cheng Yanluo out.

Because Chu Qingyan was standing in a dark place, and because Xiao Ran was in the main seat, he didn't notice her at all, so when she left, he didn't notice either.

Xiao Ran crossed his fingers in front of his head, pursed his lips, and finally asked in a low voice, "Brother Dahuang, how has Qingyan been doing these past few years?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xu's hand stopped, but he still didn't raise his head, his tone was the same as before, "I can run, jump, play and make trouble."

With just one sentence, Xiao Ran couldn't help but bend his eyes, and scenes of the past floated in front of his eyes.

The little girl laughed and spoke, her bright eyes were kind, and the worries in her heart dissipated a lot.

"Then what does she like to eat, wear, and use now?" He blurted out, then felt a little inappropriate, scratched his head, and said unnaturally, "I have written several letters to her in the past few years, but all It was not sent out, it was sent to her only before the battle."

Xiao Xu looked calm, "She likes everything that is delicious, beautiful, and useful."

Xiao Ran felt that the range was so wide, he scratched his head again, and finally he asked a question that was on his mind.

"Then has she mentioned me in recent years?"

"No."
