Leng Qingyu frowned. "Prince Ding actually did this! Isn't he afraid of being criticized by the people of Da Chu State? "
Leng Haoyu, who had been whispering to Murong Ting, raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Why can't Prince Ding do this? A few years ago, the Prince Ding Mansion had nothing to do with the Da Chu State. Why does Big Brother think that the Prince Ding Mansion must send troops to help the Da Chu State? The Prince Ding Mansion has protected the Da Chu State for hundreds of years, and no one has been grateful to them. Now that they're in trouble, they refuse to help. Is it a heinous crime? "
Leng Qingyu frowned and looked at Leng Haoyu unhappily. "No matter what, the Mohist army is a subject of the Da Chu State, and the children of the Mohist army are all citizens of the Da Chu State. What's the difference between Mo Xiuyao standing by and kicking someone when they're down? Besides … the late emperor has already issued an edict and restored all the glory of the Prince Ding Mansion. Naturally, the Prince Ding Mansion is still a subject of the Da Chu State. "
Leng Haoyu sneered disdainfully. "Who says that Prince Ding must accept the late emperor's edict? Who says that he must be forgiven after apologizing? Big Brother, if I accidentally stab you, I'm sure you'll be magnanimous enough to forgive me. Isn't that right? " Seeing Leng Qingyu's livid face, Leng Haoyu shrugged and spread his hands. "Look, we're brothers. Big Brother, you're not willing to forgive me, let alone Prince Ding and the late emperor."
"Enough. Is this the time to bicker?" Lenghuai glanced at the two brothers who were always at odds with each other and said to Leng Qingyu, "Your second brother is right. Don't say these things in the future." Leng Qingyu's face was already ugly, and now it was even gloomier. He was not used to his father speaking up for Leng Haoyu. Ever since Leng Haoyu appeared on the battlefield with Murong Ting and saved Lenghuai, who was almost accidentally injured by arrows, his father seemed to have something more to his younger brother.
In fact, although Lenghuai agreed with Leng Haoyu's point of view, it was mostly for his eldest son's sake. After all, he had experienced the Prince Ding mansion's background and's's Shadow Guard's abilities. Now that the late emperor was no longer around, they were no longer in opposition to the Prince Ding Mansion.. Since the old Prince Ding Mansion, there was no need to be offend him. As for his youngest son who had never raised his head … Lenghuai glanced at Leng Haoyu, who was leaning on the chair and chatting with his wife, with a trace of contemplation in his eyes.
In fact, Lenghuai did care about the son of a concubine. At least, compared to Feng Huiting's indifference to Feng Zhiyao, he was still willing to discipline Leng Haoyu. It was just that the older Leng Haoyu got, the more mischievous he became. He ate, drank, whored, and gambled, and gradually, he was completely disappointed. Later, when Leng Haoyu suddenly said that he wanted to do business, although he was unhappy that his son wanted to do business, he did not stop him. At least compared to a hedonistic son who ate, drank, and played, being a businessman was still a serious matter. Moreover, Leng Haoyu was a concubine's son, so he could not get any title or even an official position. If he did business, at least he would not lack food and clothing. With the general's mansion as his backing, at least no one would dare to bully him.
It was not until this time that Lenghuai realized that he had always misjudged his son. Lenghuai still remembered that day's battle. The attack of the northern army was unprecedentedly fierce, and the city wall was almost covered by a rain of arrows. Lenghuai, who was standing on the city wall supervising the battle, watched as a few sharp arrows shot towards him. However, his second son, who suddenly appeared on the city wall, waved his long sword and created a sword net, blocking all the arrows that were like a shower. When he came back to his senses, he was already pulled under the battlements by Murong Ting who had caught up from behind. Just by looking at the almost airtight sword net that he casually drew his sword, Lenghuai knew that his second son's skills were definitely above his eldest son, who he had always been proud of.
Thinking back to the news about the Feng family that came from the capital last month, Lenghuai had always known that Feng Zhiyao was Prince Ding's confidant. And his second son had always been close to Feng San …
Leng Haoyu naturally sensed his father's thoughtful gaze. He threw a ruffian smile at Lenghuai indifferently and turned to continue chatting and laughing with Murong Ting.
On the side, Mu Yang looked at the father and son trio and shook his head helplessly. He was the only son of Marquis Muyang's Estate and did not have any siblings. Naturally, he could not understand the intrigue in this. Although he had always been closer to Leng Qingyu because of his identity, his relationship with Leng Haoyu wasn't bad either. Naturally, he could not say much at this time. He could only ask, "General Leng, is there any imperial decree?"
Lenghuai shook his head and said indifferently, "We are guarding Bauhinia Pass, so we can't let the people of the northern border take a step into Bauhinia Pass. What imperial decree do we need?"
The two young men were solemn. "General is right."
"Father is right."
On the side, Leng Haoyu curled his lips disdainfully in an unseen place. Guarding Bauhinia Pass … that depended on whether the imperial court could persist in the rear. Otherwise, once the rear military supplies were cut off, the soldiers of Bauhinia Pass would die no matter how hard they fought.
On the main seat above, Lenghuai also frowned slightly, and undetectable worry flashed in his eyes.
