I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 102 - 79: The Generational Hierarchy Is in Chaos

Prince Rui hardly noticed that his own trusted aide was about to faint from anger.

He was caught in a mental struggle over whether to let Young Master Gu and his daughter be together, discreetly glancing between Gu Lan and Rong Baoyi. At this moment, the young man seemed exceptionally pleasing to his eyes.

Gu Lan sat upright across from Prince Rui, his back straight, a red brocade ribbon wrapping his brow. His eyes were as gentle as black jade, dignified and elegant, seemingly very deceptive.

Prince Rui thought to himself, how could there be such an obedient and charming young boy? He really didn’t know how Gu Chengzhao managed to have such a son. As for himself, he only managed to produce a fat, white dumpling of a son.

Prince Rui had also heard about the assassination attempt on Young Master Gu some time ago. All the information he received was from internal sources.

This seemingly frail and thin young man had actually emerged unscathed, killing several highly skilled assassins in return. With this thought, Prince Rui felt an overwhelming envy for Marquis Gu, who was far away in the Northern Territory.

Being good-looking was one thing, but the martial prowess was another. With such a legitimate heir, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had no worries about lacking successors—

He glanced at his young son, who was standing beside the weapon rack trying to lift a long sword but couldn’t manage to, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

In comparison, he felt an urge to throw his own son outside.

This child, Rong Yunhao, seemed utterly useless aside from his cuteness, which even troubled Prince Rui himself.

At this point, Prince Rui noticed that Tang Zhan still hadn’t moved and urged, "Ten cups of tea it is, what’s the problem? Tang Zhan, quickly go brew the tea. Why are you just standing there?"

After saying this, he got a new idea and commanded, "Also, go prepare a table of snacks for me. Personally cook some dishes that children love. Since Baoyi and the others have skipped class, I want to have a proper reunion with them."

He had originally made Tang Zhan his personal aide because of Tang Zhan’s unparalleled culinary skills, particularly adept at turning simple ingredients from military campaigns into delicious delicacies.

Not only was he to brew tea, but also to cook for Gu Lan?

Hearing this, Tang Zhan’s mouth twitched. Who could tolerate this? He wanted to resign right there.

—And then, he turned around, lifted the curtain, and with an aura of fierce killer intent, stormed off to the kitchen to brew tea.

Brew tea, then brew tea! He dares to brew, does Gu Lan dare to drink!

"Father, aren’t you mad at me and brother for skipping class?" Rong Baoyi asked softly.

Rong Shuo became serious in an instant: "Mad, I’m still mad, but whatever happens, I’ll take care of it!"

Young prince: "But father, aren’t you leaving tomorrow? What if we get bullied or punished after going back to the palace?"

Rong Shuo: ...

His face showed a trace of embarrassment, and then he thought about it, a shadow crossing his tiger eyes, and he made up his mind.

Rong Shuo did not hide from Gu Lan and took out a jade talisman shaped like a tiger’s head from his pocket, handing it to Rong Baoyi:

"This jade token is a Tiger Talisman to mobilize the soldiers of this camp. Although these soldiers will be sent to various units as Capital City garrison troops after tomorrow, as long as you have my Tiger Talisman, they will protect you from harm upon command.

However, don’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary."

"Father, Baoyi can’t take it!" Rong Baoyi immediately refused, "Mobilizing troops privately is a major offense, I can’t let father make a mistake because of me."

Gu Lan looked at the Jade Talisman in Baoyi’s hand, considering whether to go home and ask Madam Zhou if she had a similar one.

Rong Shuo said, "Take it, protect yourself well. If nothing happens, this item will always be just an ornament, and besides, these soldiers only total about five hundred men."

Gu Lan noticed that Rong Shuo did not tell Rong Baoyi to protect her brother and mother, but rather to protect herself.

This man regarded his children equally, considering them equally important, and also clearly knew that his daughter needed the talisman more for her safety.

Rong Baoyi, with tears in her eyes, accepted it, and gently said, "If that day really comes, I will protect myself, and protect my brother and mother."

"That day will never come," Rong Shuo reassured with a gentle smile.

Gu Lan watched this scene with some confusion and sadness in her eyes.

She was confused about how blood ties and familial love could make people sacrifice, forgetting their personal interests, giving their lives for others; she was saddened, not knowing when she might no longer see this lively and determined County Princess Changle again.

She knew that what Rong Baoyi said now, she truly accomplished later. The future County Princess Changle went to war for her young brother, and protected both her brother and mother.

It was the first time she started having an idea,

Prince Rui,

must he die?

The young prince beside them shouted, "Father, I want it too."

"You want a hammer!" Prince Rui said irritably.

The young prince didn’t envy his sister for getting the Tiger Talisman, just sat down on the ground and wouldn’t get up, shouting, "I don’t want a hammer, I want father’s Longquan Treasure Sword! I want to become a Kunlun Swordman, a Wudang Sword Saint, an Emei Sword Immortal!"
