Chapter 406 Don't Smile Like This To Other Men

Hearing the strange movement, Xuanying's eyes flickered, and she ran towards the bamboo forest like a whirlwind, and disappeared in an instant.Mu Bai held the saber at his waist, looking at the depths of the bamboo forest with a vigilant expression.

Song Qinghuan didn't appear to be panicked, but the corners of her lips were slightly curled, and she looked at the place where the voice came from just now.

This is the Xiao Mansion, because of their arrival, Xiao Taiwei has arranged a lot of guards inside and outside the mansion, plus the hidden guards they brought over, the whole Xiao Mansion is impenetrable, if outsiders want to enter, it is not easy.

What's more, Shen Chuhan shot the arrow on the bamboo just now, if it was really an assassin, the arrow must have hit the assassin's chest by now.

He probably guessed who it was.

Song Qinghuan also guessed it.

Sure enough, soon, a terrified cry came from the forest, "My lord, I... I am from the mansion, I am the fourth lady of the mansion, not an assassin or an assassin!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Nan's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "A Ying?" As he spoke, he probably thought of something, and hurriedly bowed to Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan, "Your Majesty, Madam, can you let me go and see? There may be some misunderstanding in this."

Shen Chuhan nodded coolly, while Song Qinghuan smiled faintly.

Xiao Nan didn't care about explaining anything else, and hurriedly walked towards the bamboo forest.

After walking a few steps, she saw Xiao Ying coming out in a bit of a panic, followed by Mu Bai with a serious face.Seeing Xiao Nan, Xiao Ying rushed over as if grasping at a straw, and said with a bitter face, "Brother, you...you quickly explain to this adult for me."

Xiao Nan glared at her, lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Ying drooped her eyes, looked pitiful, and said, "I was going to come to find you, but when I arrived at the training ground, I saw you were competing with others, and the emperor and empress were also there. I... I I didn't dare to disturb you, I was thinking of hiding in the woods, and I'll come to you after the emperor and the others leave. I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

Xiao Nan looked at her helplessly, "Why don't you come over and apologize to the emperor and empress?"

Xiao Ying responded, followed behind Xiao Nan, and walked slowly towards Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan.

When they were in front of them, Xiao Nan smiled embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, empress, sister-in-law is stubborn, which frightened the emperor and empress." As she spoke, she pushed Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying blinked her long eyelashes in a panic, bowed to Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan first, and then said in a panic, "Your majesty, empress, I... I didn't mean to peep, but I was afraid of disturbing the emperor and empress' pleasure, so It didn't come out."

Shen Chu gave her a cold look, without making a sound.

On the contrary, Song Qinghuan glanced at her with a smile, and said gently, "Are you here to look for Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Ying nodded, seeing Song Qinghuan's amiable appearance, she became more courageous, "I... I originally wanted to find my brother to practice martial arts."

Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan, smiled lightly, and jokingly said, "Ashu, do you still have something to ask Mr. Xiao? If not, let's return him to Miss Fourth."

Xiao Ying smiled embarrassedly, glanced at Shen Chuhan, and was quickly frightened by his cold eyes, she turned her eyes away and did not dare to look around again.

Xiao Nan hurriedly said, "Sister She just came here to play with me, it's nothing serious. The contest with Master Mu Bai just now really benefited me a lot, and I also thank the emperor for his guidance, Xiao Nan will definitely keep it in mind .”

Shen Chuhan didn't pay attention to Xiao Ying, just looked at Xiao Nan, his eyes were deep and bottomless, "Do you really want to join the army?"

Xiao Nan didn't know why Shen Chuhan suddenly said this again, but she nodded firmly, "Yes."

Shen Chuhan put the bow and arrow in his hand back on the weapon rack, turned to look at him, "Do you know the great general Murong Zhuo?"

Xiao Nan was taken aback, and quickly nodded, with light in his eyes.

General Murong Zhuo, how could he not know?It is no exaggeration to say that since he decided to join the army, Murong Zhuo has become a role model for him in life.

Back then, Murong Zhuo and Shen Chuhan went to Liang Country as hostages.The two used a golden cicada's trick to get rid of their shells, and got rid of all the covetous forces in Zhaoguo. Shen Chuhan suddenly became a member of Liangguo's Shen family, while Murong Zhuo lost his whereabouts.

It was later known that he entered the Liangguo military camp at the age of 15, starting from a low-level soldier, and all the way to the position of the Liangguo general.

The hardships involved are unknown to outsiders, but he still succeeded.

Moreover, after Shen Chuhan succeeded to the throne, he restored Murong Zhuo's true identity, and Xiao Nan knew that he was actually the son of the former great general Murong Fu, who had been dormant for so many years just to reverse the case for Murong's family!
Just this perseverance is beyond the reach of ordinary people, not to mention his various heroic deeds on the battlefield.

Although Xiao Nan had never met him before, she admired him immensely. At this time, Shen Chuhan suddenly mentioned Murong Zhuo, why?
He looked at Shen Chuhan puzzled.

Shen Chuhan blinked his eyes coldly, "Liangguo is about to make trouble recently, I sent Murong Zhuo to Chongzhou to guard." His deep eyes paused on Xiao Nan's face, "If you want, I can write a letter to Murong Zhuo for you Practice under him."

Xiao Nan was completely stunned.

He didn't expect that Shen Chuhan would suddenly make such a suggestion.

Although he has always wanted to join the army, his family always disagreed, saying that he was still young and had never suffered, so it was too dangerous to join the army so recklessly.But he didn't expect that there was an excellent opportunity in front of him right now.

Xiao Nan was inevitably excited, but also a little hesitant.

If he agrees now, grandfather and father...

Shen Chuhan glanced at him, as if he could see through his mind, "If you want to go, don't worry about grandfather and uncle, it depends on your own wishes."

Xiao Nan raised his head and looked at him, his dark eyes were cold, as if what he said just now was just casually said, but the flame in Xiao Nan's heart became more and more intense, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling.

He knew very well that with Shen Chuhan's temperament, if he rejected this opportunity, there would never be a second chance.

Thinking of this, the hesitation in my mind suddenly faded away.He didn't want to spend his whole life in Qingping County so unknown, if he didn't seize this opportunity now, when would he wait?
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Shen Chuhan and nodded heavily, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I... I am willing!"

His words were so loud that even Song Qinghuan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect him to be so forthright.She thought that he would at least say that he wanted to discuss it with his family.

And the one who was even more surprised was Xiao Ying.

She hadn't recovered from the panic just now, but when she heard Xiao Nan respond to Shen Chuhan's words, she subconsciously said in surprise, "Brother!"

You know, joining the army is no small matter, how could my brother accept it so easily?Besides, Chongzhou is far away on the northeast border. She heard that the border has not been very peaceful recently. If her brother passes by at this time, what if there is any danger?
She opened her lips and was about to speak, but Xiao Nan looked over and gave her a silent look.

Xiao Ying had already poked out the basket just now, and now she didn't dare to do it again, so she just shut up and stared anxiously at Xiao Nan.

When Shen Chuhan heard his answer, he curled his lips slightly, "You can talk to your grandfather and uncle first, and I will talk to them in detail tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay." Shen Chuhan glanced lightly at Xiao Ying's face, "Zhen and Awan leave first, you chat slowly." After finishing speaking, he looked at Song Qinghuan, "Awan, let's go."

Song Qinghuan nodded, smiled at Xiao Nan and Xiao Ying, followed Shen Chuhan through the bamboo forest, and left the training ground.

Xiao Nan and Xiao Ying saluted and watched them leave, Xiao Nan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, the corners of his lips curled up into a curved arc, and the streamers in his eyes gleamed.

"elder brother!"

He was happy, but Xiao Ying was annoyed, and she yelled, pulling Xiao Nan back from her thoughts.

"What's the matter, Ah Ying?" Xiao Nan looked at her, withdrew his thoughts, and coaxed, "But you were frightened by the emperor's arrow just now? Did it hurt anywhere?"

"No." Xiao Ying responded forcefully.

Shen Chuhan's archery skills are excellent, and he guessed who was coming. The arrow just now was only used as a deterrent, and did not hurt Xiao Ying.

"Brother, how could you agree so easily?" Xiao Ying has long since forgotten the shock just now, and stared at Xiao Nan with wide eyes, helpless and puzzled, "Brother, father and grandfather won't agree."

Xiao Nan shrugged, "You heard it too, the emperor said that he will talk to grandfather and father, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Brother, the battlefield is cruel, the sword has no eyes, you...are you not afraid?" Xiao Ying's voice was tinged with tears.

Although she was pampered at home, she had a really good relationship with Xiao Nan, so it was inevitable that she was worried about Xiao Nan's safety at this time.

Xiao Nan patted her head, raised her lips and said with a smile, "Even if I really went to the barracks, I would still be a soldier who knows nothing, why did you send me to the battlefield in the first place? Ah Ying, don't think too much about it. Come on, do you want to compete with me?" Xiao Nan picked up a dagger from the weapon rack and handed it to Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying glared at him angrily, "Brother, I'm talking business with you!"

"Okay." Seeing that Xiao Ying was really angry, Xiao Nan had no choice but to put down her dagger, staring at her eyebrows and eyes seriously and said, "Ah Ying, I know you are worried about me, but this matter has not been settled yet, you just Don't worry about it now. Dad and grandfather, please keep it a secret for me, too?"

Seeing Xiao Nan's tone was as gentle as ever, but his expression was very firm.

She understands Xiao Nan's temperament very well, although he usually seems to be joking and laughing, but once he really makes a decision, Nine Bulls will not be able to pull him back.What's more, joining the army has always been his wish, but due to various reasons, it has not been realized.How could you give up such an opportunity so easily today?

She sighed, not knowing what to say for a while.

"A Ying?" Xiao Nan's gentle voice sounded in Xiao Ying's ear again.

Xiao Ying pursed her lips helplessly, raised her head to look at Xiao Nan, nodded her head, and said nana, "Okay, I got it."

"Thank you, Ying." Xiao Nan raised her brows, showing a more wanton and frivolous look.Seeing his expression, Xiao Ying had no choice but to hold back no matter how uneasy she felt.

Turning his eyes, he picked up the dagger that Xiao Nan handed over just now, the brilliance in his eyes flowed, and he said softly, "Brother, accept the move!"

Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan left the bamboo forest, Song Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "Why did Ashu make such a proposal to Xiao Nan?"

"Although his martial arts are not good, he is a good young man who can practice martial arts. If he is cultivated well, he might become the next Murong Zhuo." He paused, and smiled at Song Qinghuan, "I just don't want Zhao Guo You just lost your talent."

Song Qinghuan glanced at his lips, apparently not believing his words.

Seeing her expression, Shen Chuhan's smile deepened, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "Ah Wan, don't you believe it?"

"What do you think?" Song Qinghuan asked back.

Shen Chuhan smiled lightly, with a pleasant expression on his face, "Cherishment is indeed one of the reasons. The other reason is that I have given the Xiao family a favor this time, and they will naturally want to return it."

"Ashu means... where is my grandfather?"

Shen Chuhan nodded, "Xiao Wang is open-minded by nature. The reason why he opposed Xiao Nan's joining the army before was not because he opposed joining the army itself, but because he was worried that Xiao Nan would bear the surname of Xiao. Instead of doing anything, he would be suppressed everywhere. But Now that I am taking the throne, he naturally doesn't have to worry about it. So this time, he won't object any more, but will be grateful to me instead."

After a slight pause, the corner of his mouth picked up a smile that was sure to win, "Coupled with the feeling of apology to the mother, even if the grandfather didn't want it at first, he will definitely not be able to refuse now."

Song Qinghuan thought for a while, "It's not just my grandfather who Ah Shu wants to use."

"I have asked people to inquire in Cangzhou. The Xiao family is indeed full of talents. Ah Wan knows that I am a person who cherishes talents."

Song Qinghuan couldn't help laughing when he heard his mother-in-law selling melons, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Then, Miss Xiao's Fourth Miss is also a talent?"

"Her?" Shen Chuhan said casually, "I didn't ask anyone to check on her, so I don't know. But... Judging from the performance just now, it's probably just being spoiled."

Seeing Shen Chuhan talking about Xiao Ying's disinterested expression, Song Qinghuan didn't bring up the topic again.As for Xiao Wang's side, she had nothing to worry about because of Shen Chuhan's arrangement.As far as she is concerned, as long as the Xiao family's affairs can be dealt with as soon as possible, then they can set off for Yuheng Island as soon as possible.

After strolling around for a while, just as I was about to go back, I suddenly saw someone walking towards me in a hurry.

Taking a closer look, it was the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhen.

Presumably the Xiao family got the news, but they were afraid of disturbing them, so they sent Xiao Zhen, who is the same age, over to check on the situation.

Xiao Zhen walked up to them, bowed to the two, and said with a smile, "I heard that the emperor and empress are wandering around the mansion, come and see if there is anything that needs help."

Shen Chuhan nodded, "Walking around casually, I just saw the third young master."

Xiao Zhen was slightly surprised, and said with a smile, "Ah Nan didn't cause trouble for the emperor, did he?"

Shen Chuhan smiled meaningfully, "No."

Xiao Zhen didn't know what the streamer hidden in his eyes meant, but he didn't want to ask too much, and smiled, "If the emperor and empress don't mind, I'll show you around the mansion?"

Shen Chuhan didn't answer, but Song Qinghuan replied "Yes", and the two continued to wander around the Xiao Mansion under Xiao Zhen's guidance.

Perhaps because of his age, Xiao Zhen has the most calm temperament among the three young masters of the Xiao Mansion, which may be the reason why Xiao Wang sent him here.However, although he is calm, he is not dull, and occasionally he makes a few jokes just right, and the atmosphere is lively.

Song Qinghuan's brows and eyes were frowned by his teasing, but Shen Chuhan on the side was a little displeased, stopped in his footsteps, and said in a cold tone, "It's getting late, Ah Wan, let's go back first, and we will have dinner with everyone later."

Xiao Zhen and Song Qinghuan also stopped.

Song Qinghuan said "Ah" with some unsatisfactory intentions, "Are you going back now?" To be honest, Xiao Zhen is worthy of being a child from the Xiao family. He speaks and behaves politely, but has just the right amount of humor, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.Among the men Song Qinghuan knew, his etiquette and EQ were definitely among the top few.

Hearing the reluctance on her face, Shen Chuhan's face darkened obviously, and he glanced at her, "Ah Wan, you are pregnant, so you shouldn't exercise too much."

Song Qinghuan suddenly realized something, retracted her long eyelashes, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes." Then she turned to Xiao Zhen, "Young Master Xiao, thank you today."

Xiao Zhen hurriedly saluted, "I'll see you off."

"No need." Shen Chuhan responded coldly, "Young Master Xiao, let's go back first."

Seemingly feeling Shen Chuhan's obvious displeasure, Xiao Zhen no longer persisted, and nodded, "Then...the emperor and empress go slowly."

Shen Chuhan nodded, took Song Qinghuan's hand as if swearing sovereignty, and walked towards the courtyard where he was staying.

Song Qinghuan's hand was tightly held by him, quite dumbfounded.

This is really inattentive, Shen Chuhan's jealousy will fly.

She cleared her throat, looked at Shen Chuhan and said, "Ashu, don't be angry."

Shen Chuhan glanced at her lightly, "I'm not angry."

Song Qing laughed happily, "I've held on to it for so long, yet I still say no."

Seeing her smiling like a flower, Shen Chuhan suddenly grabbed her hand and clenched it to her chest. His big hand pressed against her waist. The next moment, his cool lips kissed hers. Shen Chuhan's low, annoyed voice sounded in his ears, "Next time, don't laugh at other men like this again."
