Chapter 758: Yuan Zhao (1) Chapter 758: Yuan Zhao (1) Editor: Atlas Studios When Fan Zijin saw Qi Haoran enter, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, “You’ve sent off your father-in-law?” Qi Haoran nodded and sat down opposite him.

“Why do you have time to sit here?” Fan Zijin relaxed and leaned back in his chair.

“Who else in the capital is freer than me now?

Haven’t you and Eldest Cousin already decided to let me stay in the capital?

Since I don’t have any work to do, I might as well come out for tea and relax.” Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, “You’re given a chance to rest and relax, and you’re complaining about it?

When Cousin-in-law gives birth and returns to Lingnan, there will be plenty of things for you to do.” Qi Haoran sat up slightly and stretched out his leg to kick his foot gently.

“I’m serious.

We’re asking you to stay in the capital not only to accompany Cousin-in-law until she gives birth, but more importantly, it’s for you to recuperate.

Imperial Physician Wang has long said that no matter how effective food therapy is, if you can’t rest well, even divine medicine won’t work.” Seeing that Fan Zijin lowered his eyes and did not speak, Qi Haoran’s eyes darkened slightly.

He said in a low voice, “You and Big Brother are both older than me, but both of you are not in good health.

Have you thought about how I’ll feel in 30 to 40 years?” Fan Zijin looked at him strangely and said, “Don’t you still have a wife and children?

Those are your family.” Qi Haoran said seriously, “Children will leave the nest eventually.

How can they stay by my side forever?

Ah Ling is my wife.

Although we will accompany each other until we grow old, a brother and a wife aren’t quite the same?” “I thought you’d say that brothers are like one’s hands and feet, and women are like clothes.” “Brothers are indeed like one’s hands and feet.

Other women can’t even compare to clothes,” Qi Haoran boasted shamelessly.

Fan Zijin leaned forward slightly and asked with a strange expression, “Other women?

What about Ah Ling?” Qi Haoran coughed lightly and said, “Of course Ah Ling isn’t like other women.

Isn’t she the mother of my child?

Let’s just say she’s my eyes or something.” “Geez, you think of her as your eyes?” Fan Zijin returned to his chair and mocked, “It’s a pity that she’s not here now to hear these pleasant-sounding words.” Blushing, Qi Haoran said, “I’m not saying it for her to hear.” Fan Zijin snorted and looked at the busy streets outside with a cup of tea.

As this street was the only way out of the city, one had to pass through this street to move from the inner city to the outer city and vice versa.

After passing through here, there would be streets leading to the various city gates.

Back then, not only did Fan Zijin open this teahouse to earn money, but it was also used to gather information.

Not to mention anything else, they just had to look out a window to know which families in the inner city had come out and which direction they were headed in.

Fan Zijin was feeling bored, so he came to drink tea early in the morning.

Today, when Qi Haoran sent Mu Shi out of the city, he passed by his window.

At that moment, he tapped on the window and said, “There are three other generals leaving the city.

Other than Yuan Zhao, the other two decided to stay for two more days to seek out potential marriage partners for their children, choosing from the families of the powerful ministers in the capital.

The second generation of the Great Qi is about to rise.” “Yuan Zhao?” Qi Haoran recalled the strange feeling last night and said, “General Yuan brought the Yuan family to the north.

With Yuan Zhao’s personality, he should be the first batch of people to leave the city.” Although Fan Zijin also found it strange, he said, “I don’t know about that.

You have to know that I’m an idle person now.” Qi Haoran glared at him.

“You’ve been in charge of intelligence previously.

I don’t believe that you have no idea at all.

Hurry up and tell me.” Fan Zijin snorted twice to whet Qi Haoran’s appetite.

After he felt that he had taken revenge, he said, “I’m guessing Yuan Zhao wants to leave General Yuan and make a name for himself.” Qi Haoran widened his eyes in shock and said, “In Great Qi, General Yuan’s army is second only to the Qi family’s army.

Can he bear to do that?” “That depends on how you look at it.” Fan Zijin knocked on the table and said, “Big Brother is only 27 years old this year.

If nothing goes wrong, he’ll be in his prime in 20 to 30 years.

Should Little Treasure maintain his health, Great Qi will have no problem enjoying another 20 years of peace.

General Yuan looks to be getting older, but Lian Po1 did not consider himself old even at 70 years old.

With General Yuan’s current age, it won’t be a problem for him to command his army for another 15 years.

As for Yuan Zhao,” Fan Zijin looked straight at Qi Haoran and said, “Don’t forget that he’s two years older than our big brother.

General Yuan may be able to wait, but he can’t.” Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, “This might not be a bad thing for us.” “That’s right.

If we can recruit Yuan Zhao, the Yuan Army might not still exist after ten to 20 years.” Fan Zijin said with a smile, “We might be able to avoid bloodshed.” “Doesn’t Yuan Zhao have a few younger brothers?” Fan Zijin said nonchalantly, “They’re nothing to be afraid of.

Though brave, they’re not smart enough.

Moreover, if the Yuan family’s army can withhold Yuan Zhao’s military merits, they’ll naturally withhold theirs too.

Yuan Zhao is the eldest son and is already a grown adult.

If he can’t take over the Yuan family’s army, it’s even more impossible for his younger brothers.” Qi Haoran said with a smile, “Then we won’t have to do much to prevent the Yuan family’s army from expanding.” He patted his chest and said, “I was originally worried that we’d have to go against the Yuan family’s army sooner or later and disappoint the soldiers.

Now, it seems like there’s no need.” Fan Zijin snorted coldly and said, “General Yuan’s contribution to the country naturally goes without saying, but I think he’s overrated.

He chases prestige too much.” General Yuan had always been Qi Haoran’s idol.

Even if Fan Zijin was his brother, he could not forgive him for speaking ill of his idol.

Therefore, he glared at him and said, “Who said that generals can’t chase prestige?

He was able to withstand Emperor Jingyan’s pressure and guard the border for 20 years.

That alone is worthy of our admiration.” Fan Zijin said calmly, “I didn’t say that he’s not worthy of admiration.

I just feel that he’s not as good as you guys make him out to be.

At the very least, he’s not a fair person.

Otherwise, Yuan Zhao wouldn’t be staying in the capital at this moment and wanting to find another way out.

He can only keep his grievances to himself because of his father’s reputation.

If it were you, would you be willing to let Little Bear go through this?” “I will naturally pave the way for my son…” “Since you’ve said so, why do you have to speak of General Yuan as if he’s some unfailable god?

If General Yuan would just be more fair, do you think Yuan Zhao could bear to leave the Yuan family army?” Qi Haoran was silent.

General Yuan was indeed a good general.

In addition to being a loyal minister and loyal to his duty, he guarded the border for 20 years.

Even if a knife was held to the necks of his assistant commanders, they would not rebel.

He was also magnanimous and benevolent to the people and his army was disciplined under his command.

He never disturbed the people or harmed them, nor would he covet his subordinates’ military achievements.

In fact, he would even distribute his contributions equally to his subordinates.

However, that was only towards outsiders.

General Yuan was very strict with his family, especially his sons.

The sons of the Yuan family all joined the army when they were 13 or 14 years old, starting out as soldiers.

While their superiors did not dare to be greedy for the Yuan sons’ military achievements, General Yuan would take the initiative to share their credit with others.

Among them, Yuan Zhao was the most aggrieved.

The eldest son of General Yuan, Yuan Zhao was the earliest to join the army at 12 years old.

Even though he was a mere soldier, he was very valiant on the battlefield when slaying enemies.

Having also inherited his father’s military talent, it could be said that he was brave and resourceful.

Before Qi Haoran appeared, he had always been regarded as the most talented military youth, even when compared to Qi Xiuyuan.
