The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1800

Chapter 1800: 883 Family Reunion (1st Update)

Shangguan Qing had grand ambitions, completely unaware that his younger brother was actually a sweet dumpling with a super black sesame filling.

Thinking about bullying a top scholar little brother until he cried, Shangguan Qing felt very badass.

He began to look forward to that day coming soon.

Xuanping Marquis stayed in the room for nearly two hours; to say that they suddenly became so close and natural as if they’d lived together for twenty years was impossible.

But his son didn’t reject him, which made Xuanping Marquis’s heart settle down.

He never worried about battles, but he was filled with insecurity about how to be a good father.

He was a rough man, yet Ahen was so smart and diligent. He recited poems that he couldn’t understand, looking at him with eyes full of admiration and expectation, wanting to match wits with him.

How could he possibly match him?

Yet he didn’t want to admit defeat, so he could only use bluster to cover his inner unease.

"Already this big, yet you can’t even ride a horse."

"Can’t even lift a knife."

"What’s the use of memorizing these?"

Finally, he saw hurt and grievance in the child’s eyes.

He had such an unruly face, yet he couldn’t let go of his pride in front of his son.

It took him nineteen years to finally say to Xiao Hen, "The greatest pride of my life is not battle achievements, not titles, but you."

He wouldn’t make the same mistake with Xiao Qing.

He only hoped it wasn’t too late, that their father-son relationship wouldn’t be too short, and he still wanted to make up for these years of shortcomings.

"Your... shoulder injury is okay now?" Shangguan Qing asked expressionlessly.

Cold outside, warm inside, just like Ahen later on.

Xuanping Marquis vowed to be a kind father, but that only lasted three seconds.

He heard his son care about him, moved his shoulder, gasped, and bent down to cover the wound.

Shangguan Qing unknowingly revealed his father’s antics.

He immediately changed his expression: "Hey hey hey! Are you okay?"

Xuanping Marquis said painfully, "It hurts... The dagger was poisoned... I might be... done for... But if you call me Dad once... I might still be saved..."

Shangguan Qing had black lines on his face: "..."

Soon it was time for dinner, and to facilitate Shangguan Qing’s recovery, dinner was set in his room.

On the table were dishes he liked, without fennel.

While gobbling the food, he watched his parents on either side.

All these years, it had always been just him and his mother at the table, and he didn’t feel anything before.

But now, looking back, the Imperial Mausoleum... did seem a bit lonely.

...

The situation in Pu City was gradually stabilizing, no longer requiring a large garrison, and Shangguan Yun sent the main forces to the border to launch an attack against the Jin Country.

In just three days, Dayan captured the first border town of Jin Country, and the Jin army retreated to Xi City.

The vanguard forces attacking Xi City were the Shadow Division and Hei Fengqi.

As soon as the hour passed, Gu Jiao ordered the first wave of attacks on Xi City.

They routinely used Liang Country’s war chariots and ladders, and the Military Officers did everything they could to batter the City gate and climb the City Tower. One fell, and another rushed up.

The sky over Xi City turned blood-red.

"Jin dogs! Come take your death!" Tang Yueshan charged to the City Tower with a burst of energy.

The City gate was slammed open with a crack, and a squad of Jin Country death warriors charged out.

These death warriors were well-trained and more difficult to handle than ordinary Military Officers. For a moment, many Dayan comrades fell under their swords.

Gu Jiao temporarily abandoned the plan to climb the ladder and charged over to kill this group of death warriors.

"Stronger than Liang Country’s death warriors, no wonder they’re backed by the Sword House!"

Gu Jiao dealt with them with full force.

Her Red-Tasseled Spear still pinned Gongsun Yu to the City Tower. She used a silver spear brought from Ghost Mountain, which was also very hard and durable.

But there were too many opponents, and they quickly surrounded her.

She speared the death warrior in front, while the one behind swung his blade at her legs!

There was no armor protection there!

Whoosh!

An arrow pierced the chest of the death warrior, who let out a scream and fell powerlessly.

Gu Jiao turned around.

Tang Yueshan had once again drawn the bowstring, standing high on the war chariot, commanding the high ground under the City Tower.

The Grand Marshal of the Zhan Country’s military forces had his aura fully unleashed. He coldly said, "I’m here to kill you!"

Gu Jiao nodded, trusting him with her back.

Tang Yueshan never missed a shot!

With Tang Yueshan’s cover, Gu Jiao successfully took out all the death warriors.

At this moment, the old Marquis also came charging from behind.

Tang Yueshan cheekily raised an eyebrow at him: "Old Gu, you’re late. We’ve already killed them all!"

We.

This was blatant showing off.
