Chapter 497 Reunion

The men in black were all captured, and Little Lion immediately ran to Pan Yuanbai, "Baibai, how are you? Are you injured anywhere else?"

Pan Yuanbai hugged his arm and shook his head, "My arm is injured!"

The little lion helped Pan Yuanbai up and said, "Let me take a look at your wound."

Looking at the wound, the little lion felt a little distressed, "Does it hurt?"

Pan Yuanbai chuckled, "A little bit!"

He looked at the little lion with sparkling eyes, "You, you seem..."

The little lion said those words because he was afraid that the lion would bite Pan Yuanbai. Now, the only person who could hear him communicating with the animal was Pan Yuanbai.

The remaining men in black were dead.

The little lion blinked at Pan Yuanbai, "This is a secret!"

Pan Yuanbai understood immediately, and he put his hand over his mouth, as if to keep it a secret for him.

Soon, the Yan Dynasty soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and count the losses.

Pan Yuanbai also sought treatment from an imperial physician for his arm.

Zhao Zhen was worried about Little Lion leading the troops to the battle this time, so he arranged for an imperial physician to follow him.

The next morning, everyone started heading towards Lucheng.

By noon, we finally arrived in Lucheng.

Cao Zeyu received the news early and knew that his nephew had also come to Lucheng, so he came to the city gate to wait for people in the morning.

Now that he has annihilated the five princes' armies, Lucheng is now safe.

For unknown reasons, the sixth prince Yue Dulie did not come to support the fifth prince in the previous battle.

Now Cao Zeyu didn’t know where the army led by the Sixth Prince was hiding.

However, none of these are important to him. The most important thing for him now is to wait for the arrival of his little nephew.

By the way, let’s take a look at the legendary cannon and see how powerful it is when used against the enemy.

When the army approached, Cao Zeyu saw the flag of the Great Yan Dynasty and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.

Cao Zeyu was very curious when he saw the cart that needed two horses to pull it and the cloth covering it.

The little lion rode on a horse and jumped off the horse when he reached the city gate, "Uncle!"

"Little lion!"

Cao Zeyu quickly came to the little lion and picked it up.

Then he walked around several times.

Cao Zeyu is completely different now than he was in the past. When he left Chang'an City, he was still a thin boy.

Now eight years have passed, he has grown into a grown man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

His height is about 1.85 meters.

So the thirteen-year-old little lion is still a child in Cao Zeyu's eyes.

The little lion suddenly grew taller, and was held in circles, his face flushed.

"Uncle, I finally see you!"

Cao Zeyu turned around a few times before putting the little lion down. He placed his large palm-leaf fan-like hand on the little lion's shoulder and said, "Are you not eating well? I see why you are so short!"

Little lion: “........”

The little lion often worries that he won't grow tall enough.

After all, he is not tall among his peers.

He was also privately worried that he would take after his mother, being short in stature.

The little lion pouted and said, "Uncle, how can you bring up such irrelevant issues?"

Cao Zeyu: “….”

Cao Zeyu just complained subconsciously. Now that he saw that his nephew really minded, he immediately made up for it, "Little lion, they say that nephews look like their uncles. You must look like me, tall."

The little lion looked at the heroic Cao Zeyu and nodded vigorously, "Yes, I will definitely be like my uncle!"

Cao Zeyu has grown up, and he doesn't look as much like Qin Wan as he did when he was a teenager.

When he was in Chang'an City, he still looked androgynous, and when he dressed up as his sister, he looked very similar.

It’s different now.

He is more masculine and heroic.

The little lion looked at Cao Zeyu with envy, and secretly made up his mind that he would eat more in the future, not be picky about food, and grow tall.

At this time, Pan Yuanbai, with his arm in a sling, looked at Little Lion and Cao Zeyu reminiscing about the past with envy.

He doesn't have an uncle, so he can't feel this kind of emotion.

Cao Zeyu remembered that there was a little fat boy who was a follower of the little lion.

Now that he met Pan Yuanbai's gaze, he recognized who he was. "You are Pan Yuanbai, right?"

Cao Zeyu saw his injured arm and asked with concern, "Is the injury serious?"

Pan Yuanbai shook his head, "Uncle, I'm fine, these are just minor injuries!"

Pan Yuanbai also wanted an uncle, so he made up his mind and directly called Cao Zeyu.

Pan Yuanbai considers himself that he and Little Lion are brothers, and there is nothing wrong with calling Cao Zeyu that.

In fact, Cao Zeyu is only six years older than Pan Yuanbai.

But Cao Zeyu did not refuse, he nodded, "That's good!"

"Let's go, let's go into the city first!"

After Cao Zeyu and Little Lion finished chatting about the past, he went to Xiao Jingrui's side and said, "General Cao Zeyu, I greet the Minister!"

It is true that Xiao Jingrui is the Minister of War, but the boy in front of him is the Queen’s younger brother and also the Queen’s uncle!

Although the relationship between the two is cold, blood ties cannot change that.

He would not act arrogantly in front of Cao Zeyu, but said gently: "General Cao, you don't have to be polite!"

"I heard that General Cao fought a great battle and captured the five princes of the Moon Kingdom alive. He made a great contribution!"

"General Cao is indeed a young talent. Our Great Yan Dynasty has gained another lucky general!"

When Xiao Jingrui saw Cao Zeyu for the first time, it seemed as if he saw Shang Qingci who had turned into a man.

He was still somewhat dazed.

He still remembered that Shang Qingci complained to her when they were little that he was not a man.

She smiled and said at that time that if she were a man, she could go to the battlefield with him and pacify the world.

Xiao Jingrui was also very moved. They looked very similar as cousins.

When Xiao Jingrui first met Qin Wan, he thought she was the grown-up Shang Qingci, so he paid special attention to her.

Later, when he discovered that their personalities were different, he realized that he had recognized the wrong person.

Later, after Shang Qingci passed away, Xiao Jingrui would occasionally look at Qin Wan, and see another person through her.

Because of this reason, he was also misunderstood by Xie Yu'an.

However, Xiao Jingrui was too lazy to explain to him.

At the same time, Xiao Jingrui also kept a close eye on Xie Yu'an to prevent him from destroying the relationship between the emperor and the empress.

However, Xiao Jingrui later discovered that he was worrying over nothing.

Because Xie Yu'an was completely ignored by the Queen, and there was General Lang guarding Erxi.

Cao Zeyu felt uncomfortable when Xiao Jingrui looked at him, so he moved a little further away from him.

Minister Xiao has not married for many years, and I heard that he only has two concubines in his mansion.

I don't know if there is something wrong.

Cao Zeyu laughed awkwardly and said, "Your Excellency Shangshu, you are too kind!"

He pointed ahead and said, "Sir, let's go into the city first!"

Xiao Jingrui nodded, "Okay!"

At this time, Lan Yusi, the mayor of Lan's City, also received the news, "What? You said the second brother failed!"

The servant said carefully: "Yes, the second young master is still... still..."

"What else happened?"

"The Second Young Master's body was blown up to pieces!"

Lan Yusi: “….”
