The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

After General Chang left.

Xu Shaoxun looked at the letter in his hand and thought for a moment.

As he stood up, he stuffed the letter into his sleeve.

Then he ordered the blue-clad guard to "Prepare the car!"

He was not sure why Ling Yun asked him to go into the woods.

However, since we have to rely on Lingyun to go to Dongling.

Of course he wants to know about it too.

We rode out in a horse-drawn carriage.

While in the car, he took out the letter and read it again.

Some guesses, but no certainty.

The carriage went into the city and circled the street several times.

Finally, we entered the entrance of Lingyun’s alley.

He gave a few instructions to the blue-robed guard.

Xu Shaoxun walked towards Ling Yun's house by himself.

The hand had not yet fallen on the door knocker.

Ling Feng has already come out to greet him.

"Grand Prince, please!"

He bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Shaoxun nodded and followed him in.

This is his second time visiting this house.

Every time I come here, I find it pleasing to the eye.

At least it was more comfortable than his deserted mansion.

Followed Ling Feng all the way to the study.

Ling Yun smiled and stood up, "Brother Xu, why are you here at this time?"

Xu Shaoxun smiled at her.

Once again, I sigh.

As a woman, Ling Yun really lives a free life.

Even though he knew she was a woman, he could not help looking at the person in front of him with a bright smile and bold eyes.

It’s still hard to believe that this is a woman.

Smiling, he walked over and placed the letter on Ling Yun's desk. "You, want me to join the forest?"

"But what's changed this year?"

Naturally, he also made a lot of preparations and asked people to investigate privately.

Everything seems to be normal, nothing unusual.

The list of participants was even smaller than every year.

Ling Yun picked up the letter.

Just crush it and throw it into the trash can on the side.

He pointed at the chair towards Xu Shaoxun and leaned lazily back on it.

Ling Feng brought in some tea at this time.

After placing everything, exit quietly.

Ling Yun then spoke, "I'm not sure what will happen, but..."

"Since Cui Xiang entered Southern Qi, the number of people missing home has been increasing day by day."

"In order to suppress Sijia's arrogance, the old emperor simply brought the second prince up."

Ling Yun smiled gently.

"Although Cui Xiang and Sijia are close, Sijia's people are also doing business with Cui Xiang."

"But your third brother doesn't have a good impression of Cui Xiang."

She learned a few days ago that the old emperor wanted to express his love for Cui Xiang.

It is very likely that Cui Xiang will be given a place.

and so……

She had a hunch that this year's hunting expedition in Southern Qi would probably be very lively.

"Xu Shaoze is becoming more and more favored by the old emperor. Judging from the temperament of the Si family, they will not see it this way."

After Ling Yun finished speaking, Xu Shaoxun's face darkened.

It's more than just homesickness. No one in the palace is a simple person.

When he first came back from outside the palace, the old emperor only offered symbolic condolences.

And gave some other things as rewards.

That person thought that he might have taken away his son's position, so he attacked him directly.

It’s not easy for me to survive all these years.

Thinking of this, he nodded at Ling Yun.

The two drank tea in silence for a while, and Ling Yun patted his hands lightly on the table.

"Your father probably prefers Xu Shaoze."

"If we don't want to attract other people's attention, we still have to hold on to someone powerful."

"Which one do you think is better?"

She asked so bluntly that Xu Shaoxun was slightly stunned.

Then he smiled and shook his head, "Of course my second brother is better."

After all, people with brains are always easier to deal with than those without brains.

Xu Shaoan had always looked down on him, and he made no secret of it.

Even if I wanted to show my goodwill, that guy would probably be dismissive and wouldn't accept it.

The two discussed it in the study.

Xu Shaoxun understood what Ling Yun meant.

This time when he entered the forest, his mission was to see if there was any chance to establish a good relationship with Xu Shaoze.

After understanding Ling Yun’s meaning.

Xu Shaoxun left immediately.

He returned to his patrol camp and gave a few instructions to the blue-clothed guard.

The latter nodded and stepped back.

Then he didn't come back until nightfall.

"Your Highness." The blue-clothed guard saluted to Xu Shaoxun.

"I sneaked into the Third Prince's residence, but because of that ink, I couldn't get too close."

"However, the guards in the Third Prince's mansion were taken by Dian Mo to practice in the martial arts field at night."

"I think there will be some action."

After receiving this news, Xu Shaoxun smiled and shook his head.

This is indeed the usual style of the Si family.

Whoever stands in their way will be eliminated.

I just don’t know if Xu Shaoan is planning to kill Xu Shaoze directly this time.

Or cripple him and disqualify him from competing?

Thinking of this, there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

If Ling Yun hadn't asked him to go into the woods and wait and see.

He really wanted to watch the fun quietly.

but……

Xu Shaoxun sighed softly.

"Always be careful. When Xu Shaoan gets angry, he can do anything."

"Yes." The blue-clothed guard lowered his head and replied.

Although he was always wary of Xu Shaoan.

But to Xu Shaoxun's surprise, Xu Shaoan was able to keep his composure this time.

Until the hunt began, he didn't cause any trouble.

This also made Xu Shaoxun more vigilant.

Xu Shaoan actually planned to take action during the hunt.

That would be a difficult matter.

Although this forest has been cleared, it is still too large.

Moreover, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, so it is suitable for hiding people or wild animals.

None of them are difficult.

It was a rare occasion that Xu Shaoxun did not ride in a carriage. He sat on horseback in golden armor.

Although his facial features were still gentle, his eyebrows and eyes were cold.

When the ministers first saw him, some of them were still unable to react.

After the old emperor finished the sacrifice, he came down from the stage.

I was also stunned when I saw my eldest son dressed like this.

Then he said with a smile, "Shaoxun looks more heroic than before."

"I haven't been into the forest for many years. This year I want to hunt some game for my father."

Xu Shaoxun saluted on horseback, and the old emperor smiled and nodded.

"Okay, okay." His eyes swept over Xu Shaoze and Xu Shaoan who were also sitting on horseback.

"Then I will wait for your brothers' tribute."

"Go!"

The old emperor waved his hand casually, and Concubine Lin, whose belly was slightly bulging, stood quietly beside him.

The old emperor looked at the people riding away on their horses.

He raised his hand and patted Concubine Lin's wrist. "It's a pity that I am old, otherwise I would definitely go into the forest myself and get you something to taste."

He looked at Concubine Lin with a smile, and the latter looked at the old emperor with a red face.

"I don't think so. I just feel that your majesty's power is growing day by day."

"I often wake up in the middle of the night, but I always feel more at ease when Your Majesty is with me."

The old emperor was very pleased with the words.

He also likes to stay in Concubine Lin's palace recently.

Concubine Lin was pregnant and could not sleep with him, which was just right for him to cultivate his character.
