Chapter 618 Your Eldest Niece
The news of Lu Zhenan's departure from Beijing soon spread to Zhao Chengyuan's ears.

Zhao Chengyuan was very surprised, Lu Zhenan was Emperor Qingming's most powerful arm, how could he choose to leave Beijing at this time.

If you want to guard against Ding Guogong's deployment of troops, you can weigh the gains and losses, and it is obviously more beneficial for Lu Zhenan to stay in the capital.

That night, King Cheng arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion.He brings two messages.

One is that Lu Zhenan left Beijing because the prince reminded him.Second, the queen woke up.

Sending off King Cheng, Zhao Chengyuan frowned and drank tea.

King Chengjun and Duke Dingguo were worried that Lu Zhen'an would restrain the Southwest Army, which would be detrimental to their rebellion.They all thought that the troops they could rely on were the Southwest Army.

But the crown prince knew that Zhao Chengyuan was relying on his own soldiers and horses, not others.The prince managed to divert the tiger away from the mountain like this, so he helped him again.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, Zhao Chengyuan does not want to accept the favor of the prince, as long as Lu Zhenan leaves the palace, he can find a chance to kill him.But now that Lu Zhenan is running southwest, if he tries again, he will startle the snake.

Obviously, the prince's strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain is more secure than his assassination, and will not arouse Emperor Qingming's suspicion.

But when the truth comes out, how would You Ning feel if he found out that he owed so much to the prince.She could still say those unfeeling words to the prince.

Zhao Chengyuan drank the tea, tasting a bit of bitterness from it.

Han Jun didn't care about Lu Zhen'an, he thought Zhao Chengyuan was worried that there would be no uprising.

The government soldiers and guards in Zhao Chengyuan's hands are only 3000 people at full count. In front of a powerful enemy with tens of thousands of people, what use are they even if they have three heads and six arms?

Han Jun comforted, "You don't have to worry. Even if Lu Zhen'an returns to the Jianzhou camp, I still have ways to transfer the soldiers and horses under his nose. Just tell me when to use the soldiers."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "No need. My son-in-law has his own arrangements."

Han Jun frowned, "This matter is no small matter, and it is not the time for you to be brave. No matter how well prepared you are, it is useless if you don't have enough soldiers and horses to deter you. Once the matter fails, there is no room for maneuver."

Zhao Chengyuan poured a cup of tea for Han Jun, "Don't worry, Mr. Yuezhang, soldiers and horses are not a problem."

Seeing that he was mysterious and secretive, Han Jun clearly had something to hide, so he snorted coldly, "Why, is there anything else you can't tell me, don't you trust me?"

"My son-in-law doesn't dare. My son-in-law will go back to Jinhe Hall to see You Ning first, and bring some good wine over here. Let our son-in-law have a drink, and my son-in-law will tell the whole story."

Han Jun shook his head, "Pretentiously mysterious."

Zhao Chengyuan bowed and resigned.

You Ning was leaning on the large bed on the big kang, holding a book in his hand, but fell asleep.She was covered with a small quilt with two kittens embroidered on it, the embroidery thread was old and faded.

You Ning said that her mother sewed it for her, she didn't use it, and let the child use it after their baby was born.

When the queen woke up, Emperor Qingming was very peaceful, as if everything had returned to the way it was before.The queen's fainting was clearly caused by You Ning, why is there no disturbance when she wakes up now?
Zhao Chengyuan looked at her for a moment, then reached out to take the book in her hand, picked her up in his arms, and planned to carry her to bed to sleep.

Han Youning opened his eyes dimly, "Is the prince finished?"

"There are still some things, I have to go out in a while."

Zhao Chengyuan carried her to the inner room and put her on the bed, "You sleep first, don't wait for me."

He dug out a set of night clothes and a mask in the cage. After some disguise, the banishment turned into a creepy general with a ghost face.

It was the first time for Han Youning to see him dressed up like this, and he lost sleepiness immediately, got out of bed, looked at him and smiled, "What did the prince think at the beginning, wouldn't it be good to shape himself into a jade-faced general?"

Zhao Chengyuan didn't know what he was thinking at the time.Perhaps when he was young, he was blinded by hatred and felt that he had become a demon.This ugly and terrifying mask is just right for him.

He leaned over to look at her, "If I had met you earlier, maybe I would have put on a better mask."

Han Youning smiled, Zhao Chengyuan always felt that she was the one who redeemed him.But how did he know that he was not redeemed by him.

She was also overwhelmed by hatred. If he hadn't been quietly protecting her by his side, she still doesn't know what she would be like now.

She asked with a smile, "Dare to ask General Ghost Face, what are you going to do with your current attire?"

"To clear up the confusion for Mr. Yue Zhang."

Zhao Chengyuan put his arms around her waist, kissed her on the forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go to bed first."

After that, he let go of her and walked out the door.
-
Zhao Chengyuan carried two jars of wine, avoided the guards in the mansion, and sneaked into Han Jun's outer study.

Han Jun was studying the layout plan in front of the desk, when suddenly his eyes sharpened and he looked in the direction of the screen.

"Since your Excellency is here, don't hide yourself."

Zhao Chengyuan turned out from behind the screen, hoarsely said with a hoarse laugh, "Mr. Ding is good at hearing."

Han Jun saw the person coming, and said pleasantly, "My dear brother!"

Zhao Chengyuan: "..."

Han Jun came out from behind the book case, stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Chengyuan's arm with both hands and laughed loudly, "I still regret that I don't know when and what month I will see my virtuous brother again, I never imagined that I will see you so soon!"

Zhao Chengyuan raised the wine jar in his hand, "I'm here to find Duke Ding to drink."

"Hey, call me big brother!"

Zhao Chengyuan: "..."

He was afraid of being beaten for a while.

Han Jun urged again, "My dear brother, people in the Jianghu are the most informal, caring about the status of those who are inferior. Could it be that you don't plan to recognize me as a big brother?"

Zhao Chengyuan's throat rolled, "Brother."

"Hey, that's right!"

Han Jun grabbed his arm and walked outside, smiling brightly, "It happens that my son-in-law is at the house, let him offer you a few glasses of wine later."

Zhao Chengyuan asked, "Where are the King Jin people?"

"Go back to the yard to get some wine! Let's take a look at his wife." Han Jun said reservedly, "The biggest advantage of my son-in-law is that he is nervous about his wife. Of course, he is also quite handsome and intelligent."

It was rare for Zhao Chengyuan to hear Mr. Yuezhang praise him as "handsome" and "intelligent and motivated", which was quite pleasing to the ears.

It's just that I reminded him like this, did Mr. Yue Zhang not notice anything wrong?

After drinking two jars of wine, the two hooked their shoulders together, shouting "Brother" and "Big Brother" more and more smoothly.

Han Youning couldn't wait for Zhao Chengyuan to return to the room, worried that his father would embarrass him, so he wrapped his cloak and came to the study outside.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Zhao Chengyuan say, "Brother, my brother has something to say to you..."

Han Youning: "..."

Seeing his daughter coming, Han Jun got up with a smile, and dragged her to Zhao Chengyuan, "You Ning, this is General Ghost Face, father's sworn brother."

Han Youning: "..."

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Zhao Chengyuan looked up at Han Youning, his eyes behind the mask were smiling, "You are..."

"You Ning, your eldest niece!"

Han Jun answered for his daughter, and pushed her forward again, "Don't be afraid, he looks fierce, but he is actually a good man. Come on, give your uncle a gift!"
