1275. The Little Cute Fatty (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Those people who stayed by Yan Shengrui's side so closely must be the ones in the legend, right?

"You mean Yan Er? He is the commander of the shadow guards, and also the commander of the personal soldiers. Don't underestimate them. They have stayed low because they are grateful for Highness Sheng not killing them back then. In fact, they are tougher than a lot of generals. If they are judged by their merits, they would have been eligible for a marquis title long ago."

External identity did not represent anything. Even Sikong Yu himself respected Yan Er and his men, not to mention the generals and soldiers in the army. Especially Yan Er, who had been protecting Little Seven since he returned to the palace and ascended the throne. He had saved him from a lot of assassinations and even Little Seven called him Uncle Er. As long as they requested, they would be conferred a marquis title or what at any time.

"Really?"

Yuchi Lishang curled his lips. He knew it! How could a garrison general be so arrogant? It turned out that he is one of the four legendary generals of Qing Kingdom. He didn't join the court, but that didn't mean he didn't know anything. According to legend, Yan Shengrui was brave and battlewise, and his combat effectiveness in all aspects was comparable to Prince Hao of the Xi Kingdom, Emperor Qi Liancheng of the Dong Kingdom, and Dragon Evil King of the northen barbarians. However, if it came to deterrent power, no one could match Highness Sheng. The reason was that there were four invisible generals around him, each of whom had their own talents and were at the top of their respective fields. On the battlefield, they often cooperated seamlessly. When the Qing Kingdom and Xi Kingdom were at war that year, if they didn't win over Qing in weaponry, it was probably they who would have lost.

Even so, Yan Shengrui only lost a small battle, and it couldn't even be considered a real defeat.

"Do you have any thoughts about Yan Er?"

Seeing that he did not say anything after quite a while, as if he was thinking about something, Sikong Yu couldn't help but ask tentatively, but his so-called thoughts had no other meaning, simply because he didn't want to see him and Yan Er at odds.

"What thought do you think I'd have for such a cold-faced guy?"

After regaining his consciousness, Yuchi Lishang picked his eyebrows and said so. At most, he just did not like him! What else can it be?

"The cold-faced guy? You mean Yan Er?"

Sikong Yu frowned in surprise. Yan Er was not cold, on the contrary, he was quite enthusiastic. No matter what he was asked to do, he never said no. Usually, he could always see him busy with Shan and the medical boys in the military hospital. Every time Yan Shengrui asked him to go somewhere to do something, he would bring some local food and toys back for the children. He was even more amiable than Yan Yi and others.

It seemed that only Sikong Yu would think like this. As the head of the shadow guards who is adept at using poison, would he be warm to others? It was impossible even thinking with your butt!

"It seems that he is only not friendly to me alone."

However, Yuchi Lishang resolutely misunderstood and the resentment in his eyes deepened. He remembered him! As a result, his entanglement with Yan Er would become deeper and deeper in the near future.

"Do you misunderstand something..."

"Highness Yu, here is the thing..."

As Sikong Yu was about to ask more, Shi Lang quickly stepped forward and whispered the whole story into his ear. When they heard that they had used money to bribe the personal soldiers temporarily responsible for defending the city, Sikong Yu and Yan Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh. No wonder Yan Er was rude to him. His actions were insulting, weren't they?
