142. Chapter 142(1/2)

Jinjiang Literature City welcomes you

Yang Xuan left the camp tent and looked at the camp where many big people of the dynasty gathered in the distance. He frowned and thought about how to speak later. When he walked closer, he heard a burst of laughter from the barracks from afar.

The three top gentry leaders of the dynasty, Gao Qiao, Xu Mi, Lu Guang and others, were all there. The one who laughed loudly among them was Xu Mi.

Before Yang Xuan arrived at the tent, he said a few words to the guards.

The guard went in. After a while, the tent door opened and Xu Mi came out, his face turned red and smelled of alcohol.

Yang Xuan stepped forward to greet him.

Xu Birren was slightly drunk and was interrupted. He was a little unhappy and frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Yang Xuan said respectfully: "Report to Situ, there is something that must be informed by Situ first, so he took the liberty to ask Situ out and Situ forgives him. This matter is related to Li Mu."

"What's wrong with him?"

Xu Mi's expression was slightly calmer.

Yang Xuan hesitated and whispered: "Situ Dang still remembers that when Gao Xianggong rewarded the army outside Danyang County City a few months ago, he promised Li Mu that no matter what he asked for in the future, he could respond to him?"

Xu Mi hunched: "What, he has asked for now? Why is he asking for?" He said a little displeasure.

"Reported to Situ, what Li Mu asked for... is the daughter of Gao Gong."

Yang Xuan said carefully and looked up. Seeing Xu Mi's expression fixed, he was obviously extremely surprised. After a while, he seemed to have reacted. He sneered: "Everyone is tempted to be in a state of inclination, so it is true! He was just a small general of the Central Army, and there was no one in his eyes. He thought that if he would climb to the Gao family, he would be invincible in the future?"

Yang Xuan hurriedly said, "Situ must not misunderstand it! Li Mu is definitely not a person who forgets righteousness when he sees profit. Situ has cultivated him for many years. How dare he not be grateful to him? It is because he is straightforward and does not understand the worldly ways. The daughter of Gao Gong is also famous. Young people are eager for it for a while and cannot control it. What's more, he said it in person just now, and Situ is the first priority in everything. If Situ thinks that this matter is inappropriate, he will never dare to disobey. Situ is worried, and he will know how to reply to him. Then go back and dare not disturb Situ Yaxing again."

Yang Xuan bowed and left.

Xu Mi stared at his back, and when Yang Xuanxing walked several feet away, he suddenly spoke and called him.

Yang Xuan hurried back and waited for Xu Mi to speak. After a while, he could not hear the sound. Seeing that he was just staring at him, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked thoughtful, he couldn't help but feel nervous again, and he felt a little regretful.

Somehow, I succumbed to the young subordinate who was not much older than my son, and gave in. This kind of thing sounded ridiculous.

It is best to stop this matter with yourself. No matter what, Xu Mi should not be asked to know about it.

Xu Mi is good at using people, but he is narrow-minded. After many years, Yang Xuan has long known this.

"Situ..."

Yang Xuan was about to say a few more good things for Li Mu, but he waved his hand and slowly revealed his face.

The haze on my face a moment ago was swept away.

"Boxiong," Xu Bi called him, with a friendly tone.

"I just didn't think about it. Since Li Mu had this idea, Jing Shen had promised that you would just mention it on his behalf, and there was no mistake."

Yang Xuan was stunned.

"It is better to hit the sun than choose a day. The person in Deep Field is inside. Taking advantage of today's happiness, you can follow me." After that, he waved and turned around and headed in.

Xu Bi's attitude suddenly changed a lot, which caught Yang Xuan off guard. Seeing that he was about to go to the tent, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly chased him.

"Thank you, Situ. I'm just daring. Can you please let Situ back and report to me privately?"

Xu Mi narrowed his eyes.

"Okay. Come with me."

He had already entered, so Yang Xuan had to bite the bullet and follow him in.

There were seven or eight seats in the inner ring of the big tent. Gao Qiao was in the middle, and Lu Guang was on the left side of his right hand. He was the Minister of the Capital, Zhu Jiong and others.

The desk seat on Gao Qiao's left was empty, which should be where Xu Mi just sat. Everyone was drinking and laughing. Zhu Jiong was praising Lu Guang's eldest son Lu Jianzhi's successive contributions to Linyi and Jiangbei, and everyone agreed.

Lu Guang was naturally happy, but shook his hands repeatedly and kept being humble. Suddenly, he saw Xu Mi bringing Yang Xuan in, and several people looked over.

Yang Xuan was the first powerful general in Xu Mi’s military mansion, and these people knew about it. He saluted to everyone present. Gao Qiao nodded and smiled, asking him to avoid the gift. Lu Guang did not move, Zhu Jiong and others only looked at Xu Mi and said, “I just talked about climbing the heights next month, why are you leaving?”

Xu Mi smiled and said, "Boxiong looked for me and said that there is an important thing, and you need to see the depth of field. You guys must have just finished it. How about leaving some to reward the army tonight?"

Since Xu Mi spoke like this, the rest of them naturally would not stay. They looked at Yang Xuan and stood up one after another.

Gao Qiao, Lu Guang and others finished their bidding and returned to the main seat, asking Yang Xuan to take it.

How dare Yang Xuan beg him? He stood there and greeted him respectfully: "Thank you, my husband. I will stand and talk."

When Gao Qiao saw that he didn't sit, he didn't force him.

"Situ just now said that you have something to meet me, what's the matter?"

"Do you remember the promise you made to Li Mu in the past? Today Li Mu looked for me and said that if you have something to do, please ask me for it..."

Yang Xuan was a little afraid to look at him and said hesitantly.

Gao Qiao suddenly realized, patted his forehead lightly, and smiled, "How could he forget? He finally came up with it? What's wrong with him?"

"Report to my grandfather, what Li Mu asked for is..."

On the battlefield, Yang Xuan was extremely brave, and even when facing thousands of troops, he remained calm.

But at this moment, when he met Gao Qiao's smiling gaze, his heart felt weak, and he didn't dare to say those few words.

Seeing that he couldn't take it for a long time, Gao Qiao's eyes were dodging, but his forehead gradually fell with sweat. He glanced at him and couldn't help but wonder, and then smiled and said, "What's the matter he asked for? Just come."

It has reached this point, and you can only say what you should say or not.

"What Li Mu asked for was... to marry the daughter of his husband..."

Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and finally said the words that had been rolling around the bottom of his tongue for several rounds.

Although August has passed the beginning of autumn, the scorching sun has been scorching for a day and the tent is still stuffy.

Gao Qiao had just drunk two glasses of wine, and felt a little irritated under his tongue. He was taking a teapot with a ridge on the table and filling it with water with a smile.

Hearing this, his hand trembled, his smile on his lips frozen, and the hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Yang Xuan opposite him. Seeing that his forehead was sweating, he felt like he was taking it out of the pot, and slowly put the pot in his hand down.

"General Yang, you said just now that Li Mu intends to marry my daughter?"

He asked word by word, and the final tone was slightly raised. But it was covered up very well. Except for his serious expression, he looked like he could not distinguish between joy and anger.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan relaxed a little and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my husband, I know that this is absurd. I will tell him what I have done when I go back. Be sure to ask him to take back this thought!"

Gao Qiao's hand slowly loosened the copper handle of the pot beam, sat upright without saying a word.

"Li Mu was in the last general's position for many years, and was definitely not a person who wanted to repay kindness. This time, he was also young and ignorant of the world, so he had this idea rashly. He didn't think of offending him. I hope his husband should not be surprised by him."

Yang Xuan said carefully again.

Gao Qiao was still silent.

"My husband is in a high position and has no time to warm up the seat. Mo Jiangyuan should not disturb her such absurd thing. Don't worry about her. I will go back to Li Mu. Mo will leave first."

Gao Qiao, who was behind the Yang Xuanchao case, bowed respectfully, then took a few steps back, turned around and retreated.

"General Yang!"

He walked to the tent and suddenly heard Gao Qiao calling him behind him.

"After you go back, you don't have to say anything to Li Muduo for the time being. I will reply to this matter after I have considered it."

Gao Qiao raised his eyes slowly, looked at him with two gazes, and said calmly.

Yang Xuan was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Abide by your order. I will give up until now."

Gao Qiao didn't speak anymore. When Yang Xuan went out, he slowly took out a snow-white handkerchief he carried with him and wiped the faint sweat from his forehead.

His eyes looked at the direction where Yang Xuan left in front of him, and his eyes were fixed. After a moment, he seemed to subconsciously lifted the pot that had just been put down and continued to pour water into the cup.

The tea water gushed out from the mouth of the pot and kept pouring into the cup. It gradually became full. He did not move, and his hand holding the teapot had not been put down.

The water filled the cup mouth and gradually spread into a pool along the table surface, wetting a strand of his hanging sleeves and a watery color, but he was not aware of it.

With a sound of footsteps, Gao Huan's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Can uncle be inside?"

Gao Qiao was shocked and suddenly came to his senses. He realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly put down the pot and lowered his head and wiped the water stains on his sleeves and the table in a hurry.

"uncle!"

Gao Huan stepped inside and bowed to Gao Qiao on his seat.

Today, the army was drawn from Jiangbei to Jiankang, and the emperor personally went out of the city to treat him. The whole city caused a sensation. How could he not come for such a rare event? At this moment, he was still immersed in the excitement and shock brought to him by the previous grand ceremony, and his eyes shining.

Gao Qiao calmed down, quietly hid his sleeves wet with tea, sat up straight, looked at his nephew who had not seen for several months, and smiled: "Zi Le, are all the family members?"

"All good! My sister had accompanied her aunt before and had been living in a villa. A few days ago, my nephew received a letter from my uncle and knew that my uncle had returned to the city today, so she went to pick up people. Not only my sister, but also my aunt also returned home!"

Gao Qiao nodded with a smile: "It's great. I'll be done here and I'll come back tonight. Are you here to see me, is there something wrong?"

"Uncle, my nephew has a request, and I ask my uncle to agree."

"You talk."

"The war is now settled. In a few days, it will be Double Ninth Festival. My nephew wants to hold a banquet at home. At that time, I will invite my elder brother and others to appreciate the chrysanthemums, and then invite Li Mu to the banquet. If my uncle feels right, my nephew will go and invite him now and make preparations early!"

After Gao Huan finished speaking, he looked at Gao Qiao with his eyes full of anticipation.

Gao Qiao's eyes moved slightly and he said lightly: "Forget it, there's no need."
