Chapter 278 Each has calculations
Old General Feng had three sons and two daughters. As a result of years of fighting, of his three sons, only the youngest son, the most ineffective, and two sons-in-law were left, and only the ambitious and disobedient one died.
He is over fifty now, and even if he is lucky enough not to die on the battlefield or in battle, he doesn't know that he still has a few more years to live with the injuries he suffered from years of fighting.
But his children and grandchildren simply cannot support the huge foundation he laid.
On the contrary, his ambitious son-in-law is much more scheming and capable than his appointed first heir, that is, his eldest grandson.
Old General Feng didn't want to hand over to his son-in-law the land that his two sons had worked so hard to build, but he was also worried that one day he would die suddenly, and his eldest grandson would be directly handed over by his ambitious son-in-law for occupying that position. kill.
Just as he was full of worries because of his son-in-law's growing ambition, Ye Anlan conquered more than a dozen counties with lightning speed.
The powerful attack power she displayed shocked old General Feng, but he also saw the hope of saving the life and status of his eldest grandson.
He discussed with his confidant counselors for a long time, and decided on a number of terms that could be compromised and conditions that could be promised. Then, before the year when Ye Anlan's whereabouts were clear, he sent envoys to Mount Meng to ask for his marriage.
As for the current head of the Huang family army, he only took over the position of his dead uncle about two months ago, and barely took the position of the head of the Huang family army.
His uncle who died took the place of his father who died in battle.
Although when he took over, the other party had promised to pass on the position to his nephew in the future, but after so many years, his nephew who was waiting to take over had already grown to nineteen years old, and his good uncle not only did not Returning to the position that should have belonged to him, on the contrary, he didn't even help him with his marriage.
He had no choice but to contact his father's old department and ask them for help. When the war broke out, he took advantage of the chaos and killed his uncle.
He succeeded, but his uncle's sons and die-hard loyalists also confronted him more seriously because of this.
Relying on his father's shadow, of course, he mainly took advantage of his uncle's sons who were not very old, and barely sat on the leader's position after stumbled and stumbled.
Then in order to stabilize his position, he followed the advice of his counselor and sent envoys to visit the leaders of Ye Anlan's family in Mengshan.
It was also a coincidence, one of them suddenly had a suitable candidate, one was to save Ye Anlan's time, and the other just made a move, but they all happened to be in time to go to Mount Meng with a lot of gifts. coming.
Xie Yuan, who got the news, immediately changed his mind.
He decided not to leave, he wanted to stay with the person who was the spoiler.
Uh, no, he wants to keep the person who helped Li Jing to be a spoiler.
At this time, Li Jing didn't know that Xie Yuan's fighting spirit was ignited because of this incident.
At this time, he was handing Ye Anlan a longbow that he had found with great difficulty.
Ye Anlan is extremely powerful, she can pull an ordinary bow casually, and she can't show her true strength at all.
Li Jing knew that she often used various weapons at the end of the day, so she had been taking pains to find for her a heavy, strong, sharp knife, and a bow that required a lot of strength to draw but had a very long range. .
As for the sword, he had already given Ye Anlan one before, and now he gave Ye Anlan another longbow that he got around.
Ye Anlan tried it once, and found that it was very handy, and immediately put it away like a baby.
Li Jing looked at her with a smile, "Although I'm a little late, I still want to thank you for sending troops to protect Lanling County."
Although if he stood in Xie Yuan's place, he would definitely not be ashamed of Ye Anlan like Xie Yuan, but Ye Anlan was willing to send troops after Xie Yuan's asshole, Li Jing felt that he should still accept this favor .
Because of course Ye Anlan sent troops, partly because of her relationship with Xie Yuan's senior brother and sister, but it is undeniable that partly because of his Li Jing's family living in Lanling County.
Li Jing felt that even if Ye Anlan didn't mention it, he still had to accept this favor.
"I didn't suffer. Or should I say, I'm actually the one who gained the most." Ye Anlan blinked slyly, "Now my territory is no less than that of my senior brother."
Li Jing's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile—when Ye Anlan said this, he immediately recalled the funny scene of Xie Yuan beating his chest and stamping his feet.
He said to Ye Anlan: "Even so, I still have to thank you. I know that you didn't have the slightest idea of getting involved in this chaos before, and the training of troops was just for self-protection."
He smiled, and Ye Anlan suddenly felt like his heart was about to fly out.
She subconsciously took a deep breath, "I really just wanted to be alone before, but now I've changed my mind."
Li Jing was surprised.
Ye Anlan smiled at him, "Recently, I have gradually realized that no one can exist independently from the world, unless you live alone from the beginning and hide in the deep mountains and old forests to be a savage."
"Otherwise, even if you come alone, as long as you live and live for a while, then you will always have one or even a few more concerns."
"They are like hooks that bind you firmly to the world. The most amazing thing is that they can make you happy without any pain, and even let you take the initiative to join the torrent of the times, so that you never want to Be alone."
"It was a little late for me to understand this truth, but fortunately, it was not too late. I haven't lost those things that I cherish so much."
For example, the person she likes, for example, her senior brother Xie Yuan who she occasionally dislikes but most of the time is very reliable.
Hearing what Ye Anlan said, Li Jing, who was full of emotions, was about to say something. He was not tall and thin, but his eyes were cold and stern, watching the aggressive short boy running over like the wind .
"Young Master, Mr. Xie said that he has received news that Feng, Huang and Mrs. Xie's natal family have sent courtship envoys. He asked you to work hard so that no one can take away the duck."
Li Jing and Ye Anlan: .
The embarrassing atmosphere quickly spread between the two of them. After a while, Li Jing said to Ye Anlan with an embarrassed face after the little boy was puzzled, "Master?", "This is Hualiang, I picked it up in Pizhou He, Chang An said that he is very talented in martial arts, so I took him with me and taught him."
