When Yang Fan left the Hall of History, his heart was also at a loss. This loss was not directed at his and Wan 'er's future. He knew that in front of the Emperor, he would always be a small and lowly character. But as long as he wanted to achieve his goal, he would unswervingly walk down it without any doubt.
Back then, when he was still a little child, in order to survive, he could escape thousands of li from Shaozhou to Guangzhou. When he was a little beggar who had no food or clothing, he could bravely take up the responsibility of raising and taking care of his younger sister. He was always optimistic and never depressed. When he returned to Luoyang, even though he knew that he had to fight against those enemies who had no trace of them and who had great power, he had never been depressed. Today, how could he give up on his own woman because of a word from the Emperor?
He was at a loss because he didn't know how to face Xiao Man. Xiao Man was a good girl. No matter if it was her character or appearance, there was nothing to pick on. As a woman, she was a military officer and had many properties in the capital. She was even more outstanding than a man like him. He had just made a name for himself.
Becoming husband and wife with her was not out of the ordinary. In this day and age, when men and women married, they often only gradually understood each other after they had consummated their marriage. Not to mention large families, even Pasta and Liu Junfan only knew each other and never had a deeper understanding of each other. To be married by the Emperor and to such an outstanding woman, there was no one to pick from such a wife!
However, he already had someone he liked and he had always thought of Xiao Man as a cute little sister, a good friend, and a good confidant. Suddenly, her identity changed and she was going to be the person who slept beside him. That kind of feeling was indescribably strange. Especially Wan 'er's inevitable sadness …
He could not show this feeling of helplessness in front of Wan 'er. Right now, Wan' er was sad and helpless. He had to be decisive and firm in order to give her something to rely on and hope. He could only suppress all kinds of thoughts in his heart until he left Wan 'er before he dared to show them.
The more Yang Fan thought about it, the more irritated he became. The good mood he had when he had just returned to the capital was completely destroyed. Wan 'er thought that Princess Taiping was just making fun of him, but he knew that this was Princess Taiping's revenge against him and he could not fight back. Even if he fought back, he had already hurt two people: one was Wan' er and the other was Xiao Man.
Yang Fan was walking with a heavy heart. Suddenly, several halberd-wielding warriors walked towards him. There was a person in the middle. Seeing him, that person said in a strange tone, "Oh! Isn't this Guard Yang? Oh … I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It should be General Yang. Hehehe, congratulations, General Yang! "
Yang Fan raised his head and saw that it was the Commandant of the Golden Guards, Zhu Bin.
When he first joined the army, he was no longer under the command and they no longer had any contact. At that time, they no longer had any contact. Zhu Zhu of Yang Fan and they no. Later, when Yang Fan joined the army, he was no longer under the command of Zhu of Jin Wu and they no longer had any contact. Occasionally in the palace, when he saw this old superior who had made things difficult for him, he would just nod his head and never say much. Unexpectedly, today, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Yang Fan thought that the other wanted to repair their relationship after seeing that he had been promoted, so he stopped and nodded, "So it's General Zhu. It's been a long time!"
Zhu Bin laughed coldly and said with a face full of jealousy, "Second Lang is so young and has already been promoted to General of the Imperial Army. Your future is limitless! When we old colleagues talk about you, we are all very envious. It's a pity that we are all big and burly and not handsome enough. We don't have the imperial edict, the princess to persuade us to marry, and Steward Wei from the inner palace to help us make the Sage like us. Otherwise, I would really like to go to the Western Regions for a stroll and come back to be promoted. "
Beside him, a guard with a halberd grinned cheekily and said, "Commandant, you're just saying that. You went to the Western Region and left behind the lives of dozens of your brothers. You used the blood of your brothers to stain your own future. You relied on women to gain fame and fortune. How could you do such a shameless thing?"
Zhu Bin held his stomach and began to laugh strangely. The other imperial guards also laughed in a strange manner.
Yang Fan was in a bellyful of vexation. Hearing their words, he couldn't help but glance at them coldly and lightly said, "I say, Big Brother, I am not a straw boat. You don't have to use me for your cheap use!"
That person's face immediately turned red and he shouted, "Hey! I say, why can't you tell what's good for you? You can't even take a joke, so how can you turn hostile and start scolding people! Just because you've been promoted, you don't care about your old colleagues, do you? General Yang, I am a member of the Jin Wu Guards. I am not under your control! "
Yang Fan sneered, "Words are for people to say, fart is also for people to fart. Words are the same as fart, it's all just a breath. Since you said you didn't insult me, then there's nothing to say. I still have matters to attend to, farewell! "
Zhu Bin stretched out his hand to stop him. With a sullen face, he said, "Yang Fan, you've gone too far! Seeing that you've been promoted, everyone congratulates you with good intentions. How can you hurt people with such malicious words? Aren't you looking down on me, Zhu Bin? "
Yang Fan took a step forward and stood face to face with him. Bending down slightly, he stared into his eyes and said word by word, "That's right! I am looking down on you! This Yang only cares about the people I care about, and you have never been in this range! "
With that, Yang Fan turned around and left. Zhu Bin was so angry that his face turned purple. Trembling all over, he said, "This person … how can this person be so shameless! So ungentlemanly! "
Yang Fan swaggered off. When he was already far away, Zhu Bin stretched his neck and roared at his back, "Surnamed Yang, don't get cocky too early!"
After saying that, Zhu Bin said to the people around him, "This person really has a bad temper after being promoted. I congratulated him with kind words, but he scolded me instead. All of you have seen how this surnamed Yang is intoxicated by success. This is too outrageous!"
Several soldiers carrying large halberds said in unison, "That's right, that's right. County Commandant need not be angry. Why bother with such a despicable person? Justice is in the hearts of the people."
Normally, Yang Fan did not have such a bad temper. Now that he was agitated and uneasy, how could he restrain himself after hearing Zhu Bin's sarcastic words? He could not be bothered with what Zhu Bin said and strode straight to the Xuanwu Gate of the palace. Halfway there, he ran into Eunuch Gao again.
When Eunuch Gao saw Yang Fan, he said with a face full of smiles, "Congratulations, Erlang!"
Yang Fan smiled bitterly in his heart. He had no choice but to stop and return the greeting. "Eunuch Gao!"
Eunuch Gao chuckled and said, "First a high official, then a beautiful wife. Life is beautiful. Once your wish comes true, your husband is also very happy for you, hehehehe …"
Yang Fan was about to reply with a few words and leave when Eunuch Gao suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Someone is waiting for you in the 'Golden Hairpin Drunken' private room!"
Yang Fan was startled and looked at Eunuch Gao in surprise. Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Young Master Shen sends his regards to Erlang!" After saying that, he took a step back and cupped his hands towards Yang Fan. He said in a loud voice, "Hehe, Erlang, don't worry about it. On the big day, your husband will have to send a generous gift to celebrate. Hehe, hehehe …"
When he cupped his hands, he gently tapped the back of his palm three times with the little finger of his left hand, which was holding his right fist. Then, he slightly tilted it outwards and tapped it twice. This was the secret signal that Shen Mu and Yang Fan had agreed on. Yang Fan could not help but be surprised. "So this Eunuch Gao is Shen Mu's man!"
…
"Is Erlang not handsome enough? His eyebrows are fierce and his eyes are ugly?"
"No, he's quite … handsome …"
"Erlang's character is not good. He eats, drinks, gambles, and does not engage in honest work?"
"That's not true either. He … he has a very good character!"
"Erlang is incompetent and has no ability?"
"Look at what you're saying. His skills are something that even you and I cannot compare to. Without true ability, how could he have made such a great contribution in the Western Regions?"
Gao Ying spread her hands and said, "That's strange. He is handsome, has a good character, and has true ability. Now he's even a general. Such a good husband is hard to find! Everyone has arranged for you to marry. You don't know how many girls in the palace are sad and envious. I'm drooling over it, and you're still unwilling. "
Xiaoman rolled her eyes at her. She slightly bent her legs and hugged her knees. She rested her chin on her knees and thought for a long time. Then, she faintly said, "I've thought about it, but I can't think of anything bad about him. I just have a very strange feeling that makes me feel uncomfortable."
Gao Ying could not help but be angry. "What do you feel uncomfortable about? He's not married, you're not married, and he's a good man who can't be faulted. What else do you want? "
Xiaoman shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know, I just feel that kind of feeling …"
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Gao Ying. "If everyone arranges for you to be married …"
Gao Ying beamed and said, "Okay, okay, I couldn't ask for more. You also know that I've been drooling over Erlang for a long time, hehe … "
Xiaoman was speechless. She pouted and said, "Can you restrain yourself a little? You're saying in front of me that you like my husband, aren't you?"
Gao Ying rolled her eyes at her and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want it?"
Xiaoman said angrily, "Is it up to me to decide whether I want it or not? I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I can't tell what's so uncomfortable about it … I mean, if everyone arranges for you to be married to Gao Chu, how would you feel? "
Gao Ying was stunned and said blankly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Gao Chu? That stupid guy is my brother, okay? How can this be compared? "
Xiaoman said seriously, "Yes, that's how I feel! Well … I can't tell you. Let me put it this way, for example, if everyone arranges for me to be married to you, how would you feel? "
Gao Ying laughed and said, "You and I are both women, how can we get married? You're getting more and more ridiculous. But … "
She hooked Xiaoman's chin and pretended to be lecherous. She giggled and said, "If I were a man, I would be so happy that I wouldn't be able to sleep all night to have such a charming and lovely wife like you." As she said that, she even raised her eyebrows very wickedly.
Xiaoman hit her hand away and said listlessly, "That's how I feel. I've always treated him as a brother and a friend, and suddenly he's my man. It's really … so awkward … "
Gao Ying turned around and sat down next to her. She said earnestly, "It's better than marrying a stranger you've only met once, and you don't know anything about his temperament and behavior, right? Xiaoman, don't worry about it. Do you know how lucky you are? "
Xiaoman raised her head and stared at Gao Ying. She asked, "Am I very lucky?"
Gao Ying nodded very hard, and a touch of sadness and melancholy floated in her eyes.
She really liked Erlang, but the falling flowers yearned, but the heartless water flowed …
