Chapter 745 Lovesickness
Zhan Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He wanted to read the letter to relieve his homesickness.
He couldn't see his wife, but he saw that her handwriting was good.
He directly reached out to grab Fang Qingshan, which immediately made the face of this burly man turn red.
He dodged subconsciously: "Don't touch me, I'm ticklish, haha!"
Seeing the two of them, one entangled and the other yelling, Ying, who was holding the letter, suddenly pursed his lips and said, "My Lord, is it not the right time for me to come?"
Zhan Yan had sharp eyes and immediately saw the letter in his hand.
He immediately scolded: "Stop! Hurry and give the letter to me!"
After saying that, he pushed Fang Qingshan away in disdain: "If you don't have a letter in your hand, don't get in my way!"
Fang Qingshan's face was full of hurt. "Ah Yan, you're really going too far. You don't like your brother anymore because you have a wife. I was obviously trying to make you happy, so I hurriedly reported it verbally first!"
Ying Yi advised: "General, this isn't the first time our Lord has behaved like this. Please bear with me. When your wife wrote to you, didn't you also keep strangers away?"
Fang Qingshan raised his eyebrows and sat beside him to drink tea.
Zhan Yan read the letter at a glance. At first he looked anxious, but gradually he calmed down.
By the end, a smile had spread across his lips.
He couldn't help but praise: "Well, you are worthy of being my wife. Not only did you shock Cheng Rui, but you also detained his crossbow team in Sheng Dynasty!"
Fang Qingshan said proudly: "That's right, no matter whose sister she is!"
Zhan Yan frowned and glanced at him. Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, he was inexplicably annoyed by his showing off.
Humph, that's his wife!
He carefully put the letter away and said, "Brother, Wanwan's letter says that Prince Rui and his daughter have arrived in Liuli City. He will inevitably come to the General's Mansion for a visit. You will be the one to receive him!"
Fang Qingshan immediately exploded: "Why? You are the master in Liuli City. Besides, King Rui is cunning and I am no match for him!"
Zhan Yan reminded in a deep voice: "Cheng Rui had previously plotted against my father-in-law, wanting to get his daughter into the Li Palace, but the plan failed. I'm worried that he will plot against me!"
Fang Qingshan asked in surprise, "You're afraid she'll make a move on you, so you're pushing me away, Zhan Yan, how can you be so shameless?"
Zhan Yan calmly asked, "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Fang Qingshan clenched his fists tightly. Of course he had confidence in himself, but being seduced by beauty too much would also be harmful to one's health!
He said angrily: "Anyway, you can't stay out of this. We are brothers. We share the good and the bad!"
Zhan Yan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let's face it together!"
Sure enough, Cheng Rui soon sent an invitation to the general's mansion. He wanted to bring his daughter to visit Zhan Yan and discuss how to transport the compensation grain to the capital.
Zhan Yan naturally couldn't refuse, so he took Fang Qingshan to meet the guest.
It was the first time that Cheng Feifei saw the handsome Zhan Yan. She had to say, he was really good-looking.
I thought that as a border guard, his skin must be very bad due to the wind and sun, like a black potato.
However, he turned out to be a handsome scholar as gentle as jade. If I had not heard of his reputation long ago, I would have thought he was a civil official.
Cheng Rui may have noticed his daughter's loss of composure, and couldn't help but cough lightly to remind her.
Cheng Feifei quickly regained her composure and bowed respectfully, "Cheng Feifei greets Marquis Zhan Yi and General Fang!"
Cheng Rui followed suit and introduced: "This is my daughter!"
Zhan Yan and Fang Qingshan responded calmly: "Miss Cheng, there is no need to be so polite!"
Cheng Rui patted Zhan Yan's shoulder warmly and said, "Marquis Zhan Yi, when I returned from the capital, Emperor Sheng specifically instructed me to come visit you no matter what. From now on, our two countries will become friendly countries and we will be one family!"
Zhan Yan ignored this statement. It was a well-known fact that the Barbarian King Rui was warlike.
The reason why he surrendered now was because Wanwan used the lightning ball to hit him.
If he had more powerful weapons, he would definitely invade Sheng Dynasty again and would never show any mercy!
Thinking of this, he said with a forced smile: "Shouldn't your family withdraw your troops from the border?"
Cheng Rui was stunned at first, then he looked up and laughed: "Of course we will withdraw. As the master of the house, Lord Zhan Yi, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Zhan Yan didn't want to invite her, after all, the letter written by Wanwan was still echoing in his ears.
Keep him away from Cheng Feifei, otherwise, the little cat won’t let him call him daddy anymore, and won’t let him get into bed with her anymore!
After a moment's silence, he spoke directly: "King Rui, if you have anything to say, let's talk outside. There's no need to go inside!"
Cheng Rui was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhan Yan's attitude to be so distant.
Don't even let him into the house!
How can you treat guests like this?
He questioned dissatisfiedly, "Zhan Yan, do you look down on me? Do you think I'm not worthy of drinking tea or eating food from your general's mansion?"
Zhan Yan explained, "That's not the case. It's just that your status is special. In order to avoid giving people a reason to criticize me, I refused to welcome you into the mansion. Please forgive me!"
Cheng Rui angrily waved his sleeves: "What are you afraid of? Even Emperor Sheng An treated me very well, why do you want to draw a line when it comes to you?"
Zhan Yan replied as a matter of course, "The Emperor treats you well because he is the sovereign. No matter what he does, no one dares to criticize him. I keep my distance from you because I am a subject. There are many eyes watching me. Any mistake will bring disaster to the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion!"
Cheng Rui finally understood. No matter what he said, Zhan Yan refused to let him and Cheng Feifei into the mansion, and he did not hide his disdain at all.
He turned to look at Cheng Feifei, hoping that she could find a way to persuade Zhan Yan to invite them into the mansion.
Cheng Feifei didn't disappoint him. She said with admiration, "No wonder Madam Hou's archery skills can beat mine. It turns out she has such an outstanding general husband like Marquis Zhan Yi!"
Zhan Yan really didn't know about the archery competition between Lin Yiwan and Cheng Feifei, after all, it was not mentioned in the letter.
He was very interested and subconsciously asked, "Miss Cheng, what do you mean?"
Cheng Feifei swallowed and said with some embarrassment, "My father and I have been on a long journey and have not even had a sip of hot tea. My throat is about to smoke!"
After hearing her words, Cheng Rui felt that his daughter was really smart.
Now Zhan Yan should invite them in for tea, right?
Unexpectedly, he said lightly, "General Fang, quickly pour Miss Cheng a cup of tea so she can moisten her throat before she tells us about her archery competition with Wanwan!"
Fang Qingshan quickly agreed: "Okay!"
He quickly brought out the tea and handed it to Cheng Feifei, whose face was ashen.
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea before she spoke, "When my father and I visited Prince Li's residence, I wanted to challenge the Marquis's wife to an archery competition. Unexpectedly, she suggested shooting a living person on a rapidly spinning turntable. I got a little nervous, and I lost to the Marquis' wife!"
