Ignoring whether their father agreed or not, Little Lion and Tiger Head followed closely behind him and slipped into the Imperial Study.
As Qi Xiuyuan was discussing matters with the ministers when the memorial from the Ministry of War was quickly sent to him, he quickly found out about what had happened. Thus, when he saw his younger brother enter, he knew why he was here.
Therefore, before anyone could walk up to him, he said in a low voice, “I know what you mean. It goes without saying that the Great Qi army will protect the people of Great Qi. I will order the navy of Guangzhou to head there. As for you, stay in the capital obediently.”
Clearly, Qi Xiuyuan was afraid that he would run to the battlefield again.
“Royal Uncle, we will definitely get Mother Consort to keep a close eye on Father King. Since Father King can’t go to Guangzhou, let us go.” Little Lion ran out from behind Qi Haoran. View the correct content at freew(eb)no\vel..(c)om.
Only then did Qi Xiuyuan and the ministers discover the two brothers who had followed Qi Haoran in. They were all shocked because they really hadn’t seen the two of them just now due to King Rong’s imposing aura. They were also worried that he would go overseas and interfere in this matter.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Qi Haoran couldn’t help but purse his lips. He glared at the two brats warningly and said to the Emperor, “Since Royal Brother has already made his decision, I naturally have no objections.”
Qi Haoran had no objections, but the two children had strong opinions of their own. They knelt on the ground and begged to let them go to war.
Qi Xiuyuan looked at Qi Haoran suspiciously, wondering if he’d instructed the two children to do this.
However, when he saw Qi Haoran frowning and glaring at the two children kneeling on the ground, Qi Xiuyuan immediately understood his inclination.
Qi Xiuyuan immediately had the urge to agree to the twins’ request so that Haoran could have a taste of what it was like to feel extremely worried.
However, those kneeling on the ground were his biological nephews. No matter how tempted he was, he could only think about it in his heart. However, this time, he no longer took the blame for Qi Haoran. He waved his hand and said, “Go ask your Father King and Mother Consort. If they agree, I’ll let you go.”
The two children were happy to hear that.
Mother would listen to them, and Father would listen to Mother. Therefore, whether to go or not would only depend on whether the twins wished to or not right? f.r e\ewebnov(e)(l).c om
Little Lion rolled his eyes and gave Tiger Head a look. They had to convince their mother before their father returned home. As long as their mother agreed, their daddy would definitely agree.
Tiger Head immediately stood up and bade farewell to the Emperor. “Royal Uncle, knowing you’re busy, Second Brother and I will take our leave first.”
The corners of the ministers’ mouths twitched, and they had no intention of correcting such an unruly matter. Anyway, what mattered most was that the Emperor was willing.
Qi Xiuyuan didn’t think that they needed the two children to be present when discussing national matters, so he waved his hand and agreed.
After some thought, Qi Haoran also cupped his hands. “Royal Brother, my stomach suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. Since I haven’t handled government affairs for a long time anyway, please allow me to leave first.”
Qi Xiuyuan looked at his flushed face and his expression darkened. Still, after a while, he waved his hand and allowed him to leave.
Qi Haoran briskly walked out of the Imperial Study, but the two brats had already disappeared.
He immediately grabbed the guard at the side and asked, “Where are the two brats?”
The guard pointed in the direction of the palace door and said, “They just ran away using their qinggong…”
This was the Imperial Study, and running was prohibited, let alone qinggong. However, the two young masters were too fast. As soon as they left the door, they ran down the stairs. Just as the guards were about to stop them softly, the two of them activated their qinggong and flew away…
Fortunately, they knew that the two young masters had no ill intentions. Otherwise, they would definitely draw their sabers and go forward to arrest them. However, because this happened due to their negligence, the two young masters couldn’t be denounced, so they could only suffer the punishment themselves.
Frowning, Qi Haoran said to the guard, “You guys have been implicated. I’ll treat you to a drink after you’ve been flogged.”
The corners of the guards’ mouths twitched. They’d thought that King Rong would plead with the commander to spare them. However, it was a pleasant surprise to be treated to a drink by King Rong. At the very least, it was much better than being punished for nothing.
The guards quickly lowered their heads and agreed.
Although Qi Haoran wished he could run after them, he had no choice but to suppress his temper and walk briskly instead.
He couldn’t possibly do the same thing after his sons had just broken the palace rules, right?
With that, Little Lion and Tiger Head ran home first with an absolute advantage. Shouting as they ran, they rushed into Mu Yangling’s room…
Mu Yangling was taking an afternoon nap when she woke up, startled by the shouting. She hugged the blanket and widened her eyes at her two sons.
Little Lion and Tiger Head immediately knew that they were in trouble, but when they thought about how their father was rushing home, they realized that his horse traveled way faster than theirs. Ignoring the proper etiquette, they pounced on their mother’s bed, shouting, “Mother, you have to help us!”
“What kind of trouble have you guys gotten yourselves into?”
“We didn’t get into trouble, but this matter concerns the happiness of our lives. You have to agree to it!” Little Lion held his mother’s hand and shouted, “Otherwise, we’ll be depressed for the rest of our lives.”
Tiger Head nodded vigorously.
Mu Yangling’s face was filled with shock. “Your big brother hasn’t even found a wife yet, but you have already found one? Furthermore, both of you at the same time?”
“What are you talking about? We’re talking about joining the army.” Little Lion stomped his feet.
Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. “You scared me to death. It’s the two of you who didn’t make things clear, okay? How can joining the military affect your happiness for the rest of your lives? Besides, you’re already in military school. If you want to enter the military camp to train, all you need is a word from your father.”
“But Mother, Father wants us to go to the army when we want to join the navy instead.”
“The navy is also quite good. Wasn’t your father once the commander-in-chief in Guangzhou? Speak to him nicely and I’m sure he’ll agree.”
“Father won’t. He thinks the sea is dangerous.” Little Lion said bitterly, “Mother, now that the pirates are wreaking havoc, it’s time for us to protect the country. Please persuade Father to let us go to Guangzhou.”
Mu Yangling raised her eyebrows and asked, “Since when are there pirates wreaking havoc in Guangzhou? Why haven’t I heard about it?”
The pirates in Guangdong had all been crippled by Qi Haoran. Coupled with the fact that the navy had become stronger and stronger in recent years, she didn’t think that any pirates would dare to come to the territorial waters of Great Qi and openly provoke the navy of Great Qi.
Little Lion immediately told her about the Zhou family’s distress letter and said, “This morning, Daddy was furious when he received the letter and immediately ran to the Ministry of War. Royal Uncle has already decided to send troops to the Indian Ocean just now. Mother, we want to go too!”
Mu Yangling frowned. “They’re quite scheming…”
The fleet from Great Qi heading to the West had to pass through the Indian Ocean now. Since those pirates did not dare to come to Great Qi to provoke them, they directly blocked the Indian Ocean to rob the Great Qi merchant ships instead.
Since that area was beyond Great Qi’s reach, they could only let it be. As time passed, how many merchants in Great Qi still dared to go to sea?
In the future, Great Qi would return to only being able to buy Western items at a high price from the Westerners at the port. Then, the Great Qi people would have no choice but to sell porcelain, satin, tea leaves, and so on to the Westerners at a low price.
One had to know that in the past few years, sea trade had developed rapidly. Many merchants in Great Qi had hoarded such goods, intending to get involved in sea trade.
Due to this development, the local businessmen would have no choice but to sell these accumulated goods at low prices.
Mu Yangling stroked the two children’s heads and said, “Your father didn’t agree to let you go because he feared that you would be in danger.”
Tiger Head immediately said, “There are also dangers lurking in the north and west. There’s danger everywhere so long as it’s a battlefield. Are we going to stay at home for the rest of our lives then? Mother, we’re the sons of King Rong and members of the royal family of Great Qi. We’ve also learned military strategies since we were young. If even we don’t dare to go, who will dare to protect our country?”
