Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man
"Hmph" The warriors around Zalandin almost all drew their swords. For some reason, they thought that Yun Xiao had poisoned Zalandin.
"Choking" The iron guard beside Yun Xiao also drew his saber. The speed of the response was truly impressive.
"Bastard, don't be rude to the Han envoys. The Great Prince was just drunk. Zabulahi hastened to stop Zalandin's guards. He had drunk the Yun family's steamed wine, and he knew that this wine was the strongest. Light yƬ can get people drunk, and Zalandin is called hell if he doesn't get drunk so much in one sip.
Zabl was Zalandin's cousin and Zalandin's best friend. Naturally, it will not harm Zalandin, said Zabulehei among the guards. They all returned their swords into the sheath, and the guests, you look at me, I look at you. Now that the hosts have withdrawn, they just have to leave. However, they still remembered the beginning of today's banquet, and the third princess actually fell in love with the Han envoy.
This explosive news quickly spread in the circle of Donghu aristocrats. Although there were no blogs, microblogs, or circles of friends at that time, I believe that the speed of transmission must be amazing.
The guests left in droves, even though the banquet was interrupted in the middle of the day. However, they were still talking excitedly about the story of the three princesses, and they were looking for another place to drink.
"Master Hou......" Canghu looked at Yun Xiao, who was dealing with a leg of mutton.
"Are you hungry? There's also a sheep, let that big guy shave off all the legs of lamb. This roasted whole sheep in the Western Regions is not bad, let him pack it for us and take it back. ā
"Master Hou, that General John ......" Canghu said anxiously.
"When you're hungry, you eat, such a delicious roasted whole sheep can't stop your mouth." Yun Xiao glanced at Canghu.
"No." Canghu seemed to understand something. beckoned the guards to the big man to ask for mutton. They have long been salivating over the fragrant roasted whole lamb.
A group of big men turned two fat, roasted whole sheep into two bare skeletons. The killers were shy one by one, and several guys were burping, and they used daggers to quietly cut off a small strip of poplar and pick their teeth.
Yun Xiao packed a large plate of dried cantaloupe, which tasted good in his mouth. I don't know how the Donghu people got it, anyway, Yun Xiao has never eaten it in later generations. The most important thing is that Yun Xiao likes the fragrance of cantaloupe.
A group of people left Zalandin's mansion with their chests folded, and as expected, they had just walked two streets. Someone blocked the way, Yun Xiao smiled and urged the horse to the front.
There was a hint of blood in the air, and Yun Xiao sniffled. The cold air rushed to his nose, and Yun Xiao, who had drunk the wine, was much clearer. A rough voice on the other side smiled and said, "You're asking me to clear the obstacles for you." What a smart guy, the old man was taken advantage of by you if he wasn't careful. ā
Yun Xiao smiled: "I don't know anything. What does General John mean by that? ā
"Forget it. I have already sent the people of the three princesses. But this girl is very persistent, you have to watch out for her to continue to pester you. ā
"Thanks, I see. But you're waiting for me here on a cold day, and it's not as simple as just reminding me. Go ahead. How did you find out about Ellis. ā
Yun Xiao and General John rode together on escort from a group of guards.
"If I'm Ellis's father, do you believe it? I know from the knots in you. Ellis is there for you. It's unique to our family. No one else will. Or I handed it over to Ellis. General John's tone was a little desolate, and there must be a bizarre story to tell about this mountain-like strong man.
"If I say I don't believe it, how can you prove it, I have a concubine of a Semu person, and the concubine has spread all over the world. It is not difficult for you to get such news. I don't want to have an extra father-in-law for nowhere. ā
Yun Xiao rode on his horse and said leisurely.
"Ellis has a triangular mark on his shoulder with my family's coat of arms on it. Do you believe it now? ā
"I still don't believe it, Ellis used to be a singer. There are many people who have seen her dance, and it is not surprising that some people remember a scar on her body. ā
"Singer, oh my God, my Ellis is actually a singer. That damn woman actually made her do such a shitty thing. If the old man sees her again, he will definitely break her into pieces. "John's renunciation of anger does not seem to be pretended.
"Ellis still holds the highest record for the redemption of silver in Chang'an, and no one has broken it so far. I didn't treat her because of her past. Be practical and find a way to prove that Ellis is your daughter. Yun Xiao still has a calm and breezy tone.
"Ellis has a red mole behind his ear."
John thought for a moment and hesitated to say it. I guess it's because I haven't seen Ellis for a long time, and I'm not sure if the mole is still there.
Yun Xiao looked at John, and it seemed that this old man's pole was real. Men always look at women in those few parts, and few men look at what is behind a woman's ears. Unless it's a guy with a special hobby.,But Yun Xiao, who has a skin-to-skin relationship with Ellis, is naturally an exception.ć He had touched every inch of Ellis's body with his own hands, and he had naturally cleared the moles behind his ears.
"His chest ......"
"Okay, okay, I'll believe it......" Yun Xiao is reluctant to share his wife's privacy with others. found that the ears of the tiger were long, and with a wave of his hand, he gave this killer a whip.
"She's nineteen this year." John looked at the darkness in the distance, his pale blue eyes showing fatherly tenderness.
"If I hadn't taken this mission, I would have held a grand birthday party for her in Chang'an. By the way, Ellis gave me a daughter, and she was very beautiful. You're a grandfather now. ā
Yun Xiao had a smile on the corner of her mouth, the second girl was indeed beautiful. is more beautiful than the eldest girl, which thing is inferior to the Yun family. Especially my Yunxiao's daughter, if she doesn't grow into a beautiful fairy in the future, then God is simply blind.
"Really?" John's mouth was wide open, and his golden beard shook and looked very excited.
"Is it necessary for me to lie to you about this? The child is his grandfather, do you want to show something. Yun Xiao planned to tease the foreign old man. Yan Xian's father is a square mess, and it is rare that John does not put on the shelf of his father-in-law.
"It's natural when you leave Donghu. I will prepare a gift for you, and the old man will prepare another dowry for you, hmph, how can I let my daughter be blinded by her husband's family because she has no dowry. ā
Whether in John's hometown or in Donghu, a girl did not have a decent dowry when she married. It was going to be a white eye from her husband's family, and John thought that Ellis must have received a lot of white eyes from the Yun family.
"That's not necessary, Ellis didn't suffer anyone's eyes in the Yun family. There are more than a dozen maids and mothers waiting for her, and every month she has her own monthly silver for her to spend at will. My Yun family is also a wealthy family in Chang'an, how could you treat your daughter harshly.
Put your heart in your stomach, your son-in-law is still a marquis of a big man. Definitely won't starve your Ellis. ā
After Yun Xiao entered the city, John also frequently inquired about Yun Xiao's affairs, and for this reason, he also specially asked to follow Arnold to Chang'an. Knowing the prestige of the Yun family in Chang'an, he was relieved. My daughter can marry the marquis of the Han Dynasty, I have to say that this is a good marriage. Even if he is now a general of Donghu, it is impossible for Ellis to find a better home than he is now.
"Since you are my son-in-law, then your safety in Donghu will be left to me. After all, I still have the Helios Guard, and tomorrow I will send a thousand men to protect your safety. ā
"Still no, I have the ability to keep myself safe. My Yun family's guards are also first-class good players, if you mobilize the Sun God Guard, it will make King Donghu suspicious of you. I think it's better not to make our relationship public for the time being, after all, a country's generals have relatives abroad. No matter how you say it, it will not reassure the king. ā
Yun Xiao is telling the truth, if a person has relatives abroad. Generally, it is difficult to be reused by the king, especially if Yun Xiao is still the marquis of the Han Dynasty. There are still some influential figures in the military and political circles of the Han Dynasty, and King Donghu may be suspicious of John. If it was because he had affected the status of the old man's pole, Yun Xiao would still feel guilty, after all, he heard Arnold say that the old man's pole is a status that is fought with a knife and a gun.
John didn't speak, and it was clear that Yun Xiao's words were in his heart. It's okay to say that it is not reused by King Donghu, but these subordinates who have followed him for many years will suffer. Now John is like a big tree, and there are many monkeys under the tree. If his big tree falls, it will be difficult to protect the fate of those monkeys. They are all old brothers who fought hard with knives and guns, and John really didn't want them to end up.
"Alright, I'll send you here. Not far in front is the post house. I still have to remind you, be careful of the third princess. Her brutality is well-known in Donghu, and she will definitely not stop after suffering two losses in a row from you. She has the support of the king and the queen mother, you have to be careful. ā
There was a post house in front of him, and John reined in his horse. glanced at Yun Xiao and gave the last advice to this son-in-law author.
"Got it, thanks for the reminder. I'll be careful, and I'll try to go out as little as possible from today. After the princess gets married, I will return to Dahan as much as possible. ā
"It's best that way, and I'll secretly put some people to watch here. I think that the king attaches great importance to this marriage, and he will not let the third princess come. ā
John said this, and then went down another street. After all, it was already a bit reckless to talk to Yun Xiao all the way with him as well, and it would be too ostentatious to send Yun Xiao back to the post house again. Zablel waited every day to grab his pigtails, and John needed to be as careful as possible.
Yun Xiao returned to the post house, and Yin Yin brought footwashing water. Seeing Yin Yin walking timidly, Yun Xiao shook his head helplessly. There's another big trouble here. (To be continued......)
