Yan Xiao, who was kicked out here, met Lin Xunyi. Saying "met" is not quite accurate. Lin Xunyi was waiting for him here specifically.

"Five days, exactly five days."

That's what Lin Xunyi said when he came up, and the resentment on his face was almost overflowing.

Indeed, as he said, Yan Xiao had not set foot in the main tent for five days. During this period, all matters in the army were handled by Lin Xunyi.

As Yan Xiao's most trusted military advisor, he is already busy enough. Now coupled with Yan Xiao's work...the pile of corrected documents alone can pile up into a mountain.

To be honest, Lin Xunyi has considered quitting the job several times in the past few days... not many, maybe a dozen or twenty times a day...

Yan Xiao seemed to be in a trance, "It's been...five days..."

Lin Xunyi wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back.

He casually recruited a soldier, "Hey, you! Yes, it's you... go get a basin of water..."

The soldier took the order and left, and soon came back with a copper basin, "Commander Lin, your water."

Lin Xunyi waved his hand and motioned for him to hold it over to Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao looked at him with a stern face, wondering what the trouble was with this man.

Lin Xuanyi didn't care about his icy gaze, or he was already used to it. He pointed at the water in the basin, "You'd better take a photo..."

——Look where his wise and mighty lord has gone?

During the Battle of Shuoping, when we were besieged in the valley by an enemy dozens of times larger than us, and we were running out of ammunition and food, we didn't see him looking like this... His impatience and panic were all reflected on his face.

...Fortunately, he has been here with Pei Baimu these past few days and has not appeared outside. Otherwise, if people see him like this, it is possible to say that "the morale of the military is unstable."

Yan Xiao stared at the reflection in the water for a while, and his face darkened. After a while, he reached into the basin, disturbing the calm water surface, and washed his face with the water. When he raised his head again, his expression had returned to calm.

Lin Xunyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish the breath, he almost choked to death on Yan Xiao's next words.

"How about I recruit him?"

Based on the tacit understanding between the two of them for many years, Lin Xunyi certainly knew who this "he" was talking about, but it was incredible to know that.

He held it in for a long time before he said slowly: "General, I've been busy lately... It's time to take care of yourself and have a good rest..."

——Go back to sleep before you wake up! What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?

Of course Yan Xiao heard the implication of his words and glanced at him.

Lin Xunyi: "..."

Yan Xiao is actually serious?!

Lin Xuanyi was silent for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "He... is from the Pei family."

Yan Xiao smiled: "Regardless of origin, regardless of origin...it is only about talents..."

"If I remember correctly, these words were told to me by you... What? Can't he catch the eyes of General Lin?"

Lin Xunyi: Is that what the hell I mean?!

After working under Yan Xiao for so long, Lin Xunyi still knew when the master could persuade him and when he couldn't, so he simply didn't waste his words anymore.

But in the end he still couldn't help it. He gave a stiff fake smile and said, "Brother Pei's talent has been admired by Xun Yi for a long time. If the general is lucky enough to be so talented, Xun Yi is willing to give up the position of military advisor."

Yan Xiao smiled, "That's not necessary."

...there is a position more suitable for him.

Lin Xunyi: Haha.

#If you can do it, I will kneel down and call you daddy#

He was dreaming.

Yan Xiao knew this clearly.

After all, I haven't seen myself that angry yet weak for many years.

This was probably some kind of banquet. There were people drinking and drinking at the table, but their faces were all blurry.

Yan Xiao knew that for this kind of banquet... his father would bring his concubine brothers around to introduce them, and his heir apparent seemed to be raised by his stepfather.

…

Are you angry? Feeling wronged?

Yan Xiao thought of the embarrassment and begging faces of those concubine brothers at the end... and sneered with disdain——

He never cares about the dead.

…

…………

However, this banquet seems to be different.

"Axiao." Someone called him.

A hand with a wristband on it fell on his head and rubbed it twice.

Yan Xiao couldn't escape, maybe he didn't really want to escape either.

"Zhong Ang!" he shouted angrily.

"Call me brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head.

Of course, Yan Xiao would not just let him be beaten. He would just make a feint and take advantage of him when he was not prepared, then turn around and run away.

…

The scenes in the dream were not continuous. He had just left the banquet, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at a bamboo forest. In the dream, he seemed to have been running for a long time, and his breath was unstable. When he turned his head and looked back, he stumbled.

...did not fall to the ground.

He fell into a fragrant embrace, and as far as he could see, he could only see a cyan sleeve.

A gentle voice came from above, "Are you okay?"

Yan Xiao pushed himself up and raised his head, but was stunned.

He was a very beautiful young man with snowy skin and black hair. His facial features were all delicate and beautiful, but he did not look feminine at all.

He was dressed in green clothes, the breeze caressed his hair, and the bamboo forest behind him rustled.

But he was standing there, and no one could look away.

It was as if... the spirit of the bamboo forest behind him had fallen on him.

——Has the bamboo become a spirit?

he thought.

…

The eyes turned again, and the two met again, this time in Fangshi. The bamboo spirit boy changed into white clothes, and he was still elegant and unparalleled.

Seeing him, the young man was a little surprised, "...it turns out he is your brother."

But this was not said to him.

Next to him, Zhong Ang laughed loudly and slapped his back.

"Yes, my brother!"

With such a tone of eagerness to present the treasure, Yan Xiao even doubted that he would give her away.

Yan Xiao looked at Zhong Ang's expression.

——So stupid.

The young man didn't care, and still smiled gently, "What do you call your brother?"

Yan Xiao felt that his expression must be stupid.

A slightly unfamiliar panic came over him, and he opened his mouth, but failed to say his name.

Because before he opened his mouth, Zhong Ang covered his mouth.

While Zhong Ang held Yan Xiao tightly, he smiled at the young man, "Just call me brother! My brother is your brother. What is the relationship between us?..."

In the blink of an eye, she gave him a pleading look.

Yan Xiao: "Uh! Uh-huh!!"

This bastard!

He used a fake identity to cheat again!!

…

…………

The three of them were strolling leisurely in the market in the capital.

There is a young man with an exceptionally good-looking appearance, coupled with Zhong Ang's sweet mouth that talks about people and ghosts, he has gained a lot along the way, and even buying candied haws will be decorated with a string.
