"Your Majesty, King Xi slaughtered eleven people." Pai Gow's voice was harsh.
Yang Shu's hand holding the pen paused. In this era, whoever has the power can define life and death.
"I'll pay it back." Yang Shu spoke softly.
"Send a letter to He Xiangshu and ask them to come and book the king's palace."
"Even if Han You can withstand the torture, he will definitely confess to the Duke of Zhongguo."
Pai Gow didn't dare to delay and went to do it in a hurry.
In the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion, the servants, wives and servants hurriedly picked up everything they could and carried the boxes to the main courtyard.
When He Xiangshu came back from outside, he was relieved to see that the house had been tidied up.
He originally went to Yang Shu to discuss the following matters. Han You was captured, and the situation of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. Ye Guo was eager for the Yan Kingdom to be in chaos, so how could he protect the He family.
"Father." He Xiangshu found He's father.
"King Xi is moving very quickly and can't stay any longer." Father He said concisely and to the point.
He Xiangshu nodded, and two minutes later, carriages drove out of the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, the He family has moved out collectively." The housekeeper entered Prince Xi's study and reported.
"Move away?" King Xi narrowed his eyes, "Let the city guards stop them. If they resist, they will be killed on the spot for colluding with foreign enemies."
"I'm afraid it won't work." The butler raised his eyes, "They entered King Ding's palace."
King Xi frowned, "What's Yang Pifu's attitude? Do you mean to interfere?"
"It doesn't look like it. The guards only let the people from the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion enter the house. Marshal Yang didn't say anything."
"I heard that Marshal Yang's health is getting worse and worse. He has been unconscious for three days and two days."
King Xi took a sip of tea and said, "Look at King Ding's palace and see how long Yang Pifu can survive."
"Pay attention to the situation at the border and always pay attention to the movements of the Yang Family Army."
In Yan State, the only person who could pose a threat to him was Yang Lian.
I hope the old thing won't be stubborn.
He's going to die, so just stay calm.
…
"Let's just make do with it. If you need anything, ask Pai Gow." Yang Shu poured tea for the He family and his son.
"Marshal Yang..." Father He spoke slowly.
Yang Shu smiled shyly, "It's now time, so I'll be honest."
"He is fine, but I haven't told him clearly about the rebellion. If you want to see Duke Zhongguo, you have to wait until Huining County. I will definitely make arrangements for you when the time comes."
"You boy, you are so brave." Father He's eyes were full of meaning.
"For the peace of the world and the well-being of the people, I am not worth mentioning." Yang Shu said righteously.
He Xiangshu looked at He's father and expressed with his eyes: This thing is really shameless. He has never harbored any personal grudges. Yang Shu's nature is dark. Whatever he puts on it is just to beautify it.
"Be careful, I'm not blind yet." Yang Shu looked at He Xiangshu.
"No, it's not fair at all." He's father lectured his son.
He Xiangshu's eyes widened when he saw his father and Yang Shu venting their anger. At this moment, he finally realized that He's father was wrong.
Before they met, his father admired Yang Shu. Now that they met, he probably forgot which one was his son.
"Father." He Xiangshu reminded.
"Go get the jar of wine I treasured." He's father waved his hand, without even looking at He's photo book.
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows and glanced between the father and son. Why did he feel that the atmosphere was wrong?
The world of three people was too crowded, so He Xiangshu stood up silently to get the wine.
"How much can the cup hold?" Father He directly served the big bowl.
Looking at the pile of drinks, Yang Shu glanced at He's father. Didn't he say that Duke Zhongguo was rigid and rigorous?
This doesn't look like it...
"Dry!"
Father He touched Yang Shu's wine bowl, drank it first, smashed it into his mouth twice, with a happy expression on his face.
Yang Shu looked at He Xiangshu who was sitting upright on the side, with suspicion in his eyes. Was this guy afraid that he would be detrimental to Duke Zhongguo, so he changed the person?
"You are hiding too deep. If I had known earlier that you were rebelling, no matter how suspicious the emperor was, I would have taken the Ministry of War into my hands." Father He drank full of wine again.
After a few bowls, people became obviously excited.
"Yang Lian, your grandfather is too heavy on love and promises." Father He frowned, showing displeasure, "Your grandfather has always tolerated Guo Siye's ungratefulness, meanness and selfishness."
Father He poured out a large bowl of wine and spat out saliva, "I feel aggrieved for him!"
"What the hell!"
"If your grandpa hadn't helped him, he would be nothing!"
"I don't have much ability, and I can't see others shining brightly. If I were the old man, I would have crushed the Qianqing Palace and chopped off his head!"
Father He's eyes were blurred and he banged the table.
Yang Shu glanced at He Xiangshu again and spit out two words: "Your Majesty?"
"It should be." He Xiangshu looked at Father He's face and confirmed.
"He is rebellious." Yang Shu looked serious.
He Xiangshu was speechless for a moment. Although his father was usually dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, he would at most make a few sarcastic remarks. This was the first time he was scolded like this today.
"Good son, dad has been waiting for you!"
Father He staggered and hugged Yang Shu, howling with snot and tears.
Yang Shu struggled to free himself twice, his eyes twitching, the rumors were unbelievable!
He Xiangshu covered his face, he would have put his drink down and left. He would have never seen this scene.
"Father, let me help you go to rest."
In order to prevent He's father from making a bigger joke, He Xiangshu hurriedly grabbed him.
"I feel bitter in my heart!"
He's father pushed He Xiangshu away and hugged Yang Shu tightly without letting go, "I, the Duke of Zhongguo, also relied on military exploits to build a family, but now, a bunch of people are rotten!"
"I was a military commander back then!" Father He whined.
"That bitch is not a human being! How could we have been defeated in the battle of Qinling Mountains if the military intelligence had not been leaked? One hundred thousand soldiers died unjustly!"
He's father grabbed Yang Shu's shoulder, his eyes were red, and with a tearing sound, He's father tore a big hole in Yang Shu's clothes.
Looking at his strong arms, Yang Shu believed that He's father was indeed a military commander.
Father He's mouth kept moving, venting the resentment that had been deep in his heart over the years.
He Xiangshu filled the bowl with wine and served it to Father He. It was only today that he realized that his father had never been himself in these years in order to reassure the people sitting above him.
Bowl after bowl of wine, He's father went from crying to whispering, and finally fell asleep.
"Miscalculation. I want to go directly to Duke Zhongguo. No need to waste words." Yang Shu pulled his sleeves up his shoulders.
He Xiangshu looked at his disheveled appearance, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Father has never drank like this in the house."
"I always thought he liked the Four Books and Five Classics."
"No wonder there is a rusty spear in the innermost layer of the attic."
"I used to be surprised. It's not a treasure. It's hidden so well, but it's already gone. I still have it."
He Xiangshu was a little disappointed, "As a son, I have never really understood him."
Yang Shu peeled the orange, "Mr. Zhongguo deliberately hid it. If his acting skills were not good, the He family would have been expelled long ago. At Four Kilometers, your family's military achievements are very high."
"The days are long." Yang Shu patted He Xiangshu's shoulder, put a piece of orange in his hand, and walked away with his head raised.
If he wasn't dressed in cloth and looked more embarrassed than a beggar, he would still be able to say something majestic.
