The waste prince is so fierce

Li Quan clarified: "When did I ever bully you? Regarding that poem, didn't I already explain that it was not written in response to the Battle of Julongling?"

Although Li Quan likes the poem, it does not mean that he lacks independent thinking.

The victory of Julongling commanded by Xu Yingnan was a defensive battle that was related to the survival of the country. If it were not for Xu Yingnan, the people of Dakang might have fallen under the iron hoof of Northern Yan long ago.

Since Li Quan is still alive today, he naturally understands this truth.

At this moment, Xu Yingnan's gaze inadvertently drifted to the carriage behind Li Quan, and Li Quan instantly understood the root of the boy's misunderstanding.

Originally, because I chose to marry the top prostitute in the brothel instead of Xu Yingnan, and Xu Yingnan is now known as a butcher, many people look at her strangely.

Although these gossips could not really influence anything, Xu Yingnan was, after all, a girl who had just grown up, and she could not help feeling a little frustrated.

"General Xu, I really don't know how to explain to you about Miss Mingyue." Li Quan said sincerely, "But I still want to emphasize that I deeply admire your heroic act of defending our homeland, General Xu, and I absolutely do not have any disrespectful thoughts."

Xu Yingnan responded: "You don't need to explain. I came here because I was afraid that my brother Jiwu would act impulsively, and I wanted to give you a gift." Then, she took out a piece of paper engraved with "Xu" from her waist.

Black token of the word.

"What is this?"

Li Quan took the black token handed over by Xu Yingnan and asked curiously.

“This is the Xu family’s Black Armor Order. With it, you can get assistance within the authority of the local generals when needed.

You have a long way to go to Liangzhou, and maybe you can use this token on the way." Xu Yingnan explained.

Xu Jiwu, who was standing by, saw his sister giving the precious Black Armor Token to Li Quan, and immediately stood up to object: "Sister, you can't give him this token! What if he uses it to do something bad? Wouldn't that ruin the reputation of our Xu family?"

Xu Yingnan just frowned slightly, and Xu Jiwu tactfully retreated.

Knowing the importance of the black armor order, Li Quan thought for a while and decided to accept it: "Thank you for your kindness, General Xu. I will not refuse it."

After watching Li Quan board the carriage and leave, Xu Jiwu hurried to Xu Yingnan and asked, "Sister, that man would rather marry a prostitute than you, why are you still..."

Realizing that his words had hurt Xu Yingnan, Xu Jiwu stopped talking immediately.

Xu Yingnan taught him: "Jiwu, Miss Mingyue's background in prostitution doesn't mean she is a bad person.

Many people have fallen into prostitution because of the pressure of life.

There are good and bad people in any group or industry, and we should not judge others simply because of their background or profession."

Xu Jiwu nodded as if he understood something, but he was still puzzled: "But, you are so nice to that guy. You should know that our Xu family has only given out three Black Armor Orders so far. How can he get the Black Armor Order of our Xu family?"

Facing Xu Jiwu's question, Xu Yingnan smiled and said, "The Ninth Prince is now famous and is an idol and talent in the hearts of all the scholars in Dakang. Even if he is demoted to Liangzhou now, it is only temporary.

When he returns to the capital, he will surely display his talents and shock the world.

At that time, it would not be so easy for our Xu family to establish contact with him. "

Xu Jiwu nodded, as if he understood: "Just like my uncle always said, helping someone in need is more valuable than adding icing on the cake! Yes, adding icing on the cake!"

he echoed.

"Now I understand why you gave him the Black Armor Order." He added, "Sister, you are so smart. If I were half as smart as you, my uncle wouldn't always lecture me."

Xu Jiwu has always admired Xu Yingnan, and now he feels that she is far-sighted and he feels a sense of respect for her.

Seeing Xu Jiwu's admiring look, Xu Yingnan felt relieved and muttered to herself, "This boy is still too naive." Little did she know that the reason Xu Yingnan gave was just to reassure Xu Jiwu, and she herself could not express the real reason.

Whenever it is late at night, Xu Yingnan always recalls the scene of Li Quan reciting a poem with great passion at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala - "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart"

.

Sitting back in the carriage, Li Quan noticed that Mingyue had been staring at him, and couldn't help but touch his face: "Is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking at me?"

Mingyue asked softly, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Li Quan was confused: "What do you want to explain?"

Mingyue asked, "The Third Prince came to see you off on purpose, obviously to win you over. Then why would Xu Yingnan wait for you there, and why did he give you the Xu family's Black Armor Order?"

Li Quan looked at the Black Armor Order at hand and said nonchalantly, "Xu Yingnan is afraid that her brother will do something impulsive. As for the Black Armor Order, isn't it just a piece of iron? How useful can it be?"

Although Xu Yingnan once said that the Black Armor Order could help Li Quan gain support from the military, Li Quan did not take it too seriously. He only regarded it as a token of friendship from the Xu family. After all, the Black Armor Order was not an imperial edict, so he did not hold out for much.

Seeing that Li Quan did not understand the value of the Black Armor Token, Mingyue shook her head and said, "If you think that this Black Armor Token is just an ordinary iron plate, you are totally wrong.

Many of Dakang's military generals had deep roots with the Xu family. They were either former subordinates of General Xu or had received favors from the Xu family.

Therefore, the actual weight of this token representing the Xu family is far beyond your imagination."

"As far as I know, the Xu family has only issued two Black Armor Orders so far, and the one you got is the last one in existence." Mingyue further explained, "With the Xu family's Black Armor Order, you can get special care from the army in any corner of Dakang."

When Li Quan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the small token in his hand had such important value.

"So, husband, can you tell me what happened between you and General Xu?"

Mingyue took the opportunity to raise the previous question again.

Li Quan was speechless for a moment, because there was not much connection between him and Xu Yingnan. If it were not for Emperor Kang's sudden marriage, they might never have met.

Now Mingyue asked him to explain, but he really didn't know where to start.

"Well, I really don't know why Xu Yingnan gave me this token. If I had known it was so valuable, I would definitely not have accepted it."

Since he accepted the Black Armor Order from the Xu family, it meant that he accepted the friendship of the Xu family, and this was exactly what Li Quan was most reluctant to face.

While struggling with how to explain, he keenly caught a question, "I don't know these things, how do you know?"

Mingyue's heart tightened, but she remained calm, "I have been in the Golden Phoenix Tower for a long time, so I naturally heard this kind of news from there.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaoqiu and Xing'er, they know it too."

Sure enough, Xiaoqiu and Xing'er immediately confirmed Mingyue's statement.
