Chapter 82 An Yu was mistaken for a eunuch

The two people in the carriage at the back naturally did not hear the conversation at the front.

There are a lot of hawking sounds around, but you can't hear the specific content unless you get close.

Emperor Yu sat in the carriage, half-lifted the curtain, and looked at the scene outside the window.

Since he was born, he has been bedridden for almost half of his life, taking medicine all day long.

After I grew up, I only went out of the palace a few times, and I never had the chance to see places farther away.

Now we have arrived at Pingwu City, the outermost city of Da Qi. It feels like we have arrived in another world.

Everything I see seems new and interesting, and my mood improves as well.

There were constant sounds of hawking on the street, mixed with bargaining, noise, and even singing and dancing. It was obviously a very noisy environment. In the past, he would have exploded with anger.

But now, I don’t know if it’s because the medicine is effective this time or because of Ye Qiongying, he doesn’t show any signs of illness at all.

"Liang Dehai, what do you think of the Ye family?"

Di Yuan suddenly asked.

When asked this question suddenly, Liang Dehai was stunned for a moment before answering carefully:

"The Ye family...is full of loyal and righteous people. The children of the Ye family all have a warm heart. They are truly loyal to the emperor and the country, and they have great righteousness in their hearts."

If this honor were given to someone else, it might be a bit exaggerated.

But when it comes to the Ye family, there is no falsehood at all.

Moreover, the Ye family now has only Ye Qiongying as the only legitimate daughter, and no male heir. Even if she is praised, there is no need to worry that she intends to join the Ye family and rebel.

Then, those words of praise can be said more naturally.

"Oh?" Di Yu'an lowered the curtain and said with a half-smile, "If that's the case... then what about the deputy general who just collected the toll at the city gate? Isn't it said that the Ye family army has always been strict in discipline? Now it seems... maybe there is something fishy about it."

"This..." Liang Dehai thought for a moment and said, "General Ye has been dead for three years, so there is no one to take over the army. Your Majesty may be able to go and see the details with your own eyes later."

Di Yu'an was not angry, nor did he mention Chen Xiong again. Instead, he nodded:

"Yes, sometimes our eyes and ears can deceive us. It's not easy to see people. But I am very good at killing people."

At this point, the carriage in front stopped, and they naturally stopped as well.

That was the end of Di Yu'an's words.

Liang Dehai's heart began to beat fast when he heard this.

His Majesty had behaved so normally throughout this journey that he almost forgot what kind of person he was in the past.

Your Majesty, is he really planning to start a massacre in Pingwu City?

Now that we are facing foreign enemies, it is still unknown whether Dongchen and Xili are really colluding with each other. If we massacre the guards of Pingwu City at this juncture, it may be detrimental to the war.

Liang Dehai was uneasy, but once he got out of the carriage, his face regained its calm expression. He even tried to stay calm, stretched out his hand, and let His Majesty, who was already standing under the carriage, help him get off the carriage, as if the other party was really just a servant, not his honorable Lord.

"Eunuch Liang, the military camp is ahead," Ye Qiongying also got off the horse and walked over to Liang Dehai and said, "Are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while?"

She noticed that Liang Dehai's face was a little pale, and for a moment she didn't know whether he was unwell or the powder these eunuchs put on looked too white.

Liang Dehai waved his hand:

"No need, go in now. Finish your work early and then go to the post station to rest."

Then, he said to the guards behind him:

"You guys just stay here, I'll be back soon."

"Yes!"

The guard leading the team immediately agreed and stood straight beside the carriage, not daring to move.

Several people walked to the entrance and were quickly stopped:

"who?!"

Seeing Chen Xiong walking beside him, the guard laughed dryly and said:

"Deputy General Chen, it's you. Who are these people? We can't let outsiders in and out of the barracks at will."

At first it sounded like he was quite respectful to Chen Xiong, but later it was clear that he didn't care about this deputy general.

Chen Xiong didn't know whether he was careless or what, but he didn't care much and just said:

"This is an angel coming from the capital, why don't you go in and report it!"

The guard was startled and turned to look at Ye Qiongying and the others, and soon his eyes fixed on Liang Dehai's pale face.

A eunuch is naturally different from a normal man, especially someone like Eunuch Liang who has been celibate for many years. His pale face and no beard are too obvious.

The guard didn't dare to delay any longer. He begged for mercy hastily and ran inside, leaving only another person to guard the place.

Chen Xiong was not in a hurry. Instead, he turned to look at Liang Dehai and An Yu beside him.

He didn't know that An Yu was the follower of the eldest daughter of the Ye family. When he saw this person getting off the carriage with Eunuch Liang, he thought that this was someone brought by Eunuch Liang.

When I saw An Yu again, her little face was white and tender, with pretty eyebrows. Although it could be seen that he was a boy, he was prettier than any girl.

Especially in this rugged border area, An Yu's appearance is extremely rare.

As far as Chen Xiong was concerned, among all the people he had met, the only ones who could compare with this boy were grown girls.

"Little brother, how old are you?" Chen Xiong has always been a very outgoing and talkative person. Seeing that An Yu looked well-behaved and should have a good temper, he immediately approached him and tried to get close to him.

After all, he is someone close to the emperor's envoy. If we ask him more questions, maybe we can get some information that will be useful to the young lady who is to stay here by imperial order.

The idea is good, and there is some cleverness, but of course, only a little.

Soon, he asked:

"How old are you getting yourself cleansed? Is the eunuch in the palace... um!"

Before Chen Xiong could finish his words, Uncle Ye covered his mouth and dragged him back:

"I told you to keep your mouth shut, but you still haven't learned your lesson!"

Uncle Ye didn't know An Yu's true identity, but... which normal man would be willing to be called a eunuch! He was the follower of the eldest lady after all, how could he be lied to by this bear cub?

Ye Qiongying was also helpless and explained to Chen Xiong:

"Uncle Chen, this is An Yu, the follower I brought from the mansion. Don't make the mistake again."

After that, he turned to An Yu and said:

"This is Chen Xiong, a former deputy general under my father. He is a kind person, but... his words are not very pleasant to the ear."

An Yu smiled and pulled Ye Qiongying's clothes, with an innocent look on her face:

"Hmm? My sister's uncle? An Yu doesn't know him."

It seemed as if he didn't understand what Chen Xiong had just said.

Liang Dehai next to him had a pale face, even paler than before.

It's over. What on earth is this big fool doing? He was originally worried that His Majesty would start a massacre, and now, even the knife is in His Majesty's hand!

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from not far away.
