Huan Rong

Communicating with five-year-olds is a problem.

Communicating with five-year-olds who aren't like five-year-olds is a bigger problem.

At this moment, Huan Rong is facing such a problem.

Looking at Yuan Feng who was sitting across from him, saluted and thanked himself sternly, Huan Rong was speechless for a while, as if a group of erhas were rushing past in his heart, the feeling was really indescribable.

"Feng thanked the envoy for taking him in."

Yuan Feng sat on his knees, clasped his hands on his lap, and wanted to make his first salute.

Due to the limited conditions, he bent halfway and couldn't bend anymore. As a result of forcing a "breakthrough", he suddenly lost his balance, fell down with a thud, rolled forward uncontrollably, and just rolled into Huan Rong's arms.

Huan Rong stretched out his hand subconsciously, and just hugged it.

In two lifetimes, this was the first time he held a child.Feeling the warmth in his arms, he didn't care too much, and subconsciously asked, "Where can I touch?"

Yuan Feng lowered his head, raised his head again, and looked at Huan Rong with big eyes.

The elder father said that Mr. Huan is a hero among men, and he has the appearance of being extremely noble.It was really good at first sight.However, it seems a little defensive now, or is it too soft-hearted?

If you have malicious intentions, all you need is a dagger...

Feeling the hand on his upper arm, Yuan Feng bit his lips, clenched his fists, his big eyes were foggy, "Feng is fine."

Since he was enlightened at the age of three, his eldest father and maharaja have never hugged him again.

Although the eldest father loves him dearly, he regards him as the heir of the family and will still teach him strictly according to the family rules.Before dying, he would occasionally caress the top of his hair lovingly, with reluctance in his eyes and regret in his expression.

No, he had long forgotten what it was like to be loved by his elders.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, both Huan Rong and Yuan Feng were taken aback.

The former frowned, and gently lifted the child in his arms.The latter was nostalgic for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, put away his expression, and turned into a little adult again.

"Zhou Yan." Huan Rong raised his voice.

"My servant is here." Zhou Yan stood in front of the tent, but did not enter the tent.

"What happened off the account?"

"Returning to the envoy, the scribes checked the roster of records, and the villagers acted as security for each other. They found out that someone acted suspiciously and lied about his name and place of origin. He was about to arrest him."

"En." Huan Rong nodded and said, "Take him down as soon as possible, and don't hurt innocent people."

"promise!"

Zhou Yan clasped his fists in salute, then turned around to convey Huan Rong's order.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yuan Feng was already sitting upright, looking at Huan Rong with his head, his big eyes like black grapes did not blink for a moment.

"Your Majesty."

"kindness?"

Gollum-

Abdominal rumbling suddenly sounded, interrupting the unfinished words.

Huan Rong blinked, blinked again, looked at the child with flushed cheeks, and suddenly smiled.

"But hungry?"

"……Yes."

"Coincidentally, I'm also a little hungry. How about having a meal with me?"

"promise."

The military tent was set up temporarily. In order to reassure Yuan Feng and Bu Qu, few private soldiers patrolled here.

Huan Rong stood in front of him and stretched out his hand to Yuan Feng, "Come."

Yuan Feng raised his head in surprise, with a very puzzled expression.

Huan Rong sighed, and said: "I have soft pastries and special jerky in my tent. A millet is very good at cooking, and I cook some sweet soup for dinner. By the way, do you like sweet food?"

Yuan Feng's eyes brightened slightly, Huan Rong smiled secretly, making a victory gesture in his heart.

He just said, no matter how precocious you are, you are still a child.With the big killer weapon of sweets, still worry about not being able to communicate better?

Seeing that Yuan Feng was still not moving, Huan Rong didn't say much, and simply bent down and picked him up.Although he is a bit weak, it is not a problem to hold a five-year-old child.

"Master, this is inappropriate." Yuan Feng frowned.

"En?" Huan Rong supported him with both arms, stepped out of the military tent, and said, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Feng stopped talking.

According to his education, everything is wrong.However, feeling the warmth surrounding Huan Rong's back, he was reluctant to speak, so he simply closed his big eyes and put his arms around Huan Rong's neck.

The father said that he would take refuge in the envoy Huan and try his best to make the envoy love him.Doing so now can be regarded as making Mr. Huan like it.

The child was building in his heart, and the tips of his ears were already red.

Huan Rong won the competition again, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

It seems that he is more likely to have children, is that a good thing?

Huan made Jun happy, and the wind was blowing under his feet.As everyone knows, his appearance shocked countless eyeballs on the spot.

Yuan Feng was secretly brought into the camp, except for Qin Lei and private soldiers who handled it, most of them had never seen him.

Now, Huan Rong suddenly appeared with a child in his arms, and his gesture was so intimate, so it's not surprising.

Everyone watched Huan Rong's back, and several thoughts flashed through their minds quickly. The thoughts were like wild horses running wild, spreading their hooves, and heading away in different directions, never turning back.

"Shijun hasn't reached the crown yet, right? It's impossible to have such a big child."

"How do you explain that?"

"Pick it up?"

"..." That looks like a gentleman from a noble family, and there is a babysitter by his side, go and pick it up!

All kinds of speculations came out one after another, and quickly spread throughout the camp, and the heat unexpectedly overwhelmed the Di assassins.

Standing in front of the tent, Xun You watched Huan Rong walking away, thinking of Yuan Feng's identity and the news Qin Lei asked, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

This son is extraordinary, it's really not good for Minggong to be so unprepared.It seems that it is time to discuss with Jia Bing.

The person who was worried didn't notice it, and carried Yuan Feng into the handsome tent, and before putting him down, ordered Ah Mi to prepare sweet soup.

"First send two cups of honey water, a few plates of fried cakes and sanzi. The steamed cakes made in the camp are too hard, so make some more steamed cakes."

"promise!"

A Mi exited the tent and started to do it herself, busy in front of the makeshift stove.

The servants brought warm honey water and cakes, Huan Rong tried them with a silver spoon before pushing them in front of Yuan Feng.

"Moisturize your throat first."

Huan Rong put down the silver spoon, took out a piece of fried cake with bamboo chopsticks, put them in two lacquered bowls, used half of it for himself, and sent the other half to Yuan Feng.

It's not that he's overly enthusiastic, it's just that he wants to dispel the child's wariness and let him eat with peace of mind.

"Thank you, Ambassador."

Yuan Feng picked up the lacquer bowl, took a sip at first, then was lured by the sweet taste, and took another three sips in a row.In the blink of an eye, half a bowl of honey water was poured into the stomach, and the stomach finally stopped screaming so much.

Putting down the lacquer bowl, I struggled to grab the bamboo chopsticks and tried to pick up the fried cake, but it didn't go well a few times.

Huan Rong frowned, realized his negligence, and coughed.Seeing Yuan Feng looking over, he smiled, discarded the bamboo chopsticks, picked up the fried cake with his hand, brought it to his mouth and took a bite, the movement was very smooth and natural.

Yuan Feng opened his mouth slightly, his face full of surprise.

Huan Rong continued to sip, and quickly finished half of the fried cake.

"tasty."

"..."

The child didn't move for a long time, finally understood the other party's kindness, put down the chopsticks, grabbed the fried cake with his chubby little hands, and bit into it carefully, without a single sesame seed sticking to his mouth.

After he finished eating the fried cake, Huan Rong broke open another piece of sanzi, half for each person.

Yuan Feng took it in silence, ate it with honey water, and looked at the lacquer pan eagerly, but Huan Rong shook his head.

"Eat steamed cakes later, these should not be used too much."

The maidservant removed the lacquer plate, and Huan Rong personally wiped Yuan Feng's hands with a cloth towel.

The chubby little hand was held in the palm, like a small ball of cotton, which made people soften their hearts unconsciously.

After a while, there was another commotion outside the tent.

Huan Rong didn't need to ask, private soldiers had come to report, saying that spies were found among the villagers, and among them were Han Chinese who had defected to the Hu thieves.

"Catch them all and separate them for the time being."

"promise!"

The uproar continued for a while, and it can be seen that many problems were found.

Ah Mi sent sweet soup and steamed cakes, plus a few plates of roasted meat and pickled vegetables, and was about to retreat outside the tent when Huan Rong said, "Bring me two spoons."

"promise!"

From the beginning to the end, Yuan Feng didn't speak, just sat in a proper manner.

After the maidservant retreated, he picked up the spoon that Huan Rong handed him, and ate according to the usual etiquette.No matter whether you use broiled meat or sweet soup, there is no sound at all.

Eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.

The two ate in silence, and the steamed cakes on the plate decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huan Rong was surprised to find that Yuan Feng's appetite was the same as his mind, not like a five-year-old child at all.

To describe it accurately, the kid in front of me has the potential to become a foodie, and he especially likes sweets. He must have a lot in common with his brother who is far away in Yandu.

Yuan Feng used the next five pieces of steamed cake, but still wanted to take another one, Huan Rong stopped him.

It's not that he's afraid of eating, but that he's going to last.

Each piece of steamed cake is three fingers thick, the size of a baby's fist, and five servings are not small. If you eat too much, you may end up with food accumulation.

"It's not advisable to use too much for dinner, just seven percent full."

With Huan's appetite, it is really not suitable to say this sentence.If someone who knows the inside story hears it, their jaws will drop to the ground, and they will be unable to lift themselves up.

Knowing that the other party was out of goodwill, Yuan Feng nodded and put down his spoon.After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, Feng didn't eat too much."

In other words, children eat too much, and five pieces of steamed cakes are completely trivial.

Huan Rong's mouth twitched slightly.

Well, he is not destined for children, but to attract foodies.

The maid took down the dishes and brought the brewed tea soup.

Yuan Feng felt strange, Huan Rong smiled and said: "This is my habit, if you don't like it, you can put it aside."

"promise."

After a short rest, Huan Rong picked up the teacup, Yuan Feng pursed his lips, and took a sip as well.

"Don't force it." Huan Rong frowned.

"No." Yuan Feng shook his head and said, "Is there no ginger in this soup?"

"No." Huan Rong deliberately glanced outside the tent, motioned Yuan Feng to come closer, and said in a low voice, "I don't like ginger, nor do I like too strong spices."

Yuan Feng's eyes widened, his tense face relaxed, and he nodded understandingly.

"I don't like it either."

When talking, recalling bad memories, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and she looked cute like a big doll.

Huan Rong endured it for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Yuan Feng's hair, and said with a smile: "This is a secret, you can't tell it to outsiders."

"En." Yuan Feng nodded vigorously.I didn't realize it at all. Not long after we met, Huan Rong was no longer in the category of "outsiders".

Good boy.

Huan Rong put down the teacup, suddenly feeling emotional.Thinking of Yuan Zhen, who is at the end of his life, and Yuan Jin, who is brainless, and looking at Yuan Feng in front of him, he can't help feeling pity.

What were you doing when you were five years old?

The memory has long been blurred, but after thinking about it carefully, I still don't have a deep impression.

Although Yuan Feng is precocious, but with such a performance, it has to be said that [-]% to [-]% of it was forced out.

There is no room for innocence in troubled times.

The result of being too naive is often to fall into the abyss and be submerged by the long river of history.

"Your Majesty."

"kindness?"

"Would your lord take me in?" Yuan Feng asked seriously.

"You don't hate me?" Huan Rong paused when he realized what he said, but he couldn't take it back.

"I don't hate it." Yuan Feng shook his head.

"Why?"

"Father said that it was his fault that the Yuan family fell to this point. It was he who believed in the wrong people and ruined the family foundation. It was also his fault that he didn't teach what the majesty did on a daily basis. It was his fault that he made the father stay in Shouchun, and he Informing the Zhu family of the matter is indeed a kindness to the Yuan family."

"Yuan Shijun said so?"

Yuan Feng nodded, and continued: "Father also said that if envoy Huan is willing to take him in, Yuan's servants and the hidden gold will be handed over to the envoy."

"Why me?" Huan Rong couldn't hide his surprise.

"Father didn't say it clearly." Yuan Feng also felt distressed.

No matter how smart he is, he is still a five-year-old child. It is too profound to understand the struggles of all parties involved in court politics.

"Before his death, the great father said that the majesty's behavior is destined to not last long. If one day there is chaos in Shouchun, let me never go back to Jiankang, let alone go to Jingkou. It is best to find Mr. Huan. If you don't get there, hide your name and be a village boy with peace of mind, and don't contact the side branches of the family anymore."

Huan Rong was not only surprised, but frightened.

What virtue and ability do I have to be entrusted by Yuan Zhen like this!Or is it that the other party is sick and confused, and the dwarf is taller, and there is really no way to choose him?

With a wry smile, looking at the empty lacquer cup, Huan Rong regretted not listening to Xun You's advice, and really shouldn't have seen this side.

Apparently, Yuan Zhen had figured out his own character just based on a few aspects during the Northern Expedition.He knew that he couldn't attack a five-year-old child. If it was Jiankang and Jingkou, the situation would be completely different.

Huan Rong fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.

Yuan Feng didn't speak, but clenched his fists tightly, feeling uneasy, obviously not as calm as he showed.

"Okay." After a long time, Huan Rong finally said, "I will take you back to Xuyi. Yuan's treasury and servants will be temporarily transferred to Youzhou. When you grow up, do you want to be an official and govern, or do you have other plans? I will do my best to pave the way for you."

"Thank you, Shijun." Yuan Feng paused, "There is one more thing."

"what?"

"Father said, if the envoy is willing to take it in, let me give this kit to the envoy, and he also said that the envoy will understand after reading it."

Huan Rong took the kit, opened it and looked at it twice, his expression was blank.

"Emissary?"

Yuan Feng blinked his eyes and looked at Huan Rong curiously.

Huan was silent.

To be able to leave a name in troubled times is not a simple person at all.Even if he is reduced to Shouchun, the old fox is still an old fox, so cunning and calculating that it is outrageous!

Thinking about Yuan Zhen, and then looking at Yuan Feng, Huan Rong suddenly had a thought, Yuan Jin really had a genetic mutation, right?

The fire in Shouchun burned all night.

In the early morning, the city was still filled with black smoke, which lingered for a long time.The city is full of broken walls and broken tiles, like a scene of the end of the world.

Huan Rong stayed up all night, only taking a nap at dawn.When he was awakened by Ah Mi, his mind was still a little dizzy.Just as he was about to sit up, he felt numbness in his arms. He looked down and saw a four-headed body lying in his arms, dreaming soundly.

Carefully pulling out his sleeves, Huan Rong left the couch.

The servants brought warm water and green salt, and breakfast was ready.

"Emissary?"

A vague voice came from behind, with a bit of uneasiness.

Huan Rong put down the cloth towel, turned around and returned to the couch, hugged Yuan Feng, and said: "From now on, you can call me brother."

"Brother?" Yuan Feng rubbed his eyes.

"En." Huan Rong told himself, don't pinch, definitely don't pinch!

"I can't..." The child's voice dropped.

"what?"

"Can't you call foster father?" Yuan Feng blinked his big eyes.

Huan Rong: "..."

He's only seventeen, and he's about to be promoted to be a father?

nominal kinship?

That's dad too!

"...Let's call him brother."

"Oh." Yuan Feng was obviously disappointed.The elder father said that righteous father and son are more secure, but the envoy is unwilling, what should he do?

Huan Rong forced himself to turn his head, not to look at that disappointed little face.

Yuan Feng's nanny and Bu Qu were waiting outside the tent, and when they heard the sound inside the tent, they all showed anxiety.Having not seen Yuan Feng all night, he had to feel worried.

Huan Rong ordered the nanny to come in to wash and change Yuan Feng's clothes.

"Shouchun City needs to be rebuilt, and the people must be properly resettled." After eating two bowls of millet porridge and three steamed cakes, Huan Rong put down his chopsticks and said, "I need to stay for a few days, you stay here with me, or go to Xuyi? "

"I'll follow brother." Yuan Feng said.

"it is good."

Huan Rong nodded, and ordered Zhou Yan to send him back to yesterday's military tent.Yuan Feng wanted to speak, but the nanny gently pulled down his sleeves, but he didn't make a sound, and stood up to promise.

"how?"

Sensing Yuan Feng's depressed mood, Huan Rong stopped in his tracks.

"I want to follow brother." Regardless of the nanny's disapproving expression, Yuan Feng said.

"Follow me?" Huan Rong didn't feel impatient, but a little surprised, "It will be very hard."

"I'm not afraid." Yuan Feng took two steps forward, grabbed Huan Rong's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Abo told me where the gold is hidden, and I'll take my brother there."

Huan Rong paused, looked down at Yuan Feng, and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, he can't really be regarded as a five-year-old child.

Thinking of the kit left by Yuan Zhen, I thought it was good.

"it is good."

Holding Yuan Feng's little hand, Huan Rong walked out of the tent.

After a period of time, people around Huan Rong would find that no matter where the envoy appeared, there would always be a small tail by his side, and the situation did not "better" until he returned to Xuyi.

Huan Rong led the army Shouchun to quell the rebellion, and the good news spread to Jiankang soon.

The official announcement of victory was sent to the three provinces, causing quite a stir.

"Yuan Zhen died of illness, and Yuan Jin intends to plead guilty to the court. There are several soldiers and generals who have joined the bandits and kidnapped the Yuan family to order servants."

"Yuan Jin didn't want to join forces, and was held hostage by his subordinates. Later, he died at the hands of the rebels. He was burned by fire and there was no bones left."

"There was a fire in Shouchun, and the rebels took advantage of the chaos to flee. They were intercepted by the state soldiers, and none of them escaped. There were more than a dozen Di people who took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the emissary of Youzhou, but fortunately they failed..."

The content of the official document exceeded expectations and was completely different from what everyone had imagined.

Yuan Jin, who plotted against the city, became Zhongliang, and his generals who joined the army were kicked out.

After Yuan Feng became a "loyalty", he naturally needed a pension.From now on, he can stay in Xuyi in a righteous way, and Huan Rong will take care of him according to the "suicide note" left by Yuan Jin.

When Shouchun caught fire, the city was completely burned, and Yuan's ten thousand family assets naturally disappeared.Most of the servants were killed or injured when resisting the rebels, and most of the survivors were wounded. Neither the Jin Dynasty nor Huan Da Sima took advantage of it.

Said that Huan Rong swallowed it for himself?

Is there any evidence?

It's best to shut up if you don't, or the table will be torn apart!

In contrast, the imperial court still owes Youzhou the military pay for dispatching troops, as well as the leather armor weapons that should be distributed.

No?

It's easy to handle, just convert it into silk cloth gold and silver.

The assassin Huan said that he did not dislike it.

Another thing, when Shouchun took it back, the scouts found that the nearby Yuzhou was not peaceful, and there seemed to be thieves gathering to make trouble.Considering that Yuzhou is now under the control of Sima Huan, Huan Rong is very "filial" in his proposal, and if his father lacks troops, he will be happy to do it for him.

If Sima Huan had any thoughts before, he would immediately dismiss such a proposal.

The two joined hands temporarily, but they would not really shake hands and make peace, there was no friction at all.

The next door to Shouchun is Yuzhou, which was occupied by Yuan Zhen before, Huan Rong couldn't intervene, so he could only look at it greedily.

Nowadays, with state soldiers entering the city directly, and Yuan's servants who are familiar with the local conditions and can find the attack route with their eyes closed, Sima Huan really dare not take risks.

Firstly, Emperor Fei was at a critical moment, and there was no room for any mistakes;

Secondly, if Huan Rong sent troops into Yuzhou under the pretext of begging for thieves, he might not be able to drive them away, and it would be a big disaster.

If you can't take advantage of it, and you have to worry about being taken advantage of it all the time, you can imagine the depression of Sima Huan.

Did you agree to form an alliance?What about the negotiated settlement?

The son is even more treacherous than the father, how can we live in this day?

In a word, pit!

Change it into two words, it's too bad!

Knowing that Sima Huan dropped the table, Huan Rong shrugged his shoulders and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Cheating is addictive, and it is really difficult to quit.Meeting a scumbag father is even more difficult.

Therefore, continue to dig his hole and let the scumbag overturn the table.
