Chapter 449: Yun Ting's Little Ancestor
"Ping An." Nalan Xu came to the princess's residence in casual clothes, found Shangguan Ping An, grabbed his shoulders and said, "I heard that you want to go back to the Yuan Dynasty today. I won't allow you to go back now."
"Your Majesty." Shangguan Ping'an frowned and said, "The ice and snow have been melting for many days. I have to go home quickly to check on them. I am eager to know the situation of my family members."
Nalan Xu stopped him and said, "You know we just went there, and it's a time when diseases are prone to break out. If you go out at this time, you will easily get sick. Listen to me, stay here first, and go back after everything is settled."
Shangguan Ping'an was a little hesitant. Before he came to Penglai, the Yuan Dynasty was at war with Fuso and Beiyi. During the war, a snowstorm hit. Penglai was powerful and had sufficient supplies, but even so, it suffered huge losses and countless casualties. The situation on the Yuan Dynasty's side was probably even more serious.
During the six months he spent in Penglai, he missed his family all the time and worried about their safety. Now that the ice and snow have finally melted, he just wants to return to his family as soon as possible and see with his own eyes that they are safe and sound.
Nalan Xu patted his shoulder and said, "I know you are eager to go home, but Ping An, listen to me carefully. I won't let you go back now because it's for your own good. This ice and snow disaster is so fierce. My Penglai country has never seen such a thing in hundreds of years. Among the five countries, Penglai is the warmest. Even my Penglai has become like this, you can imagine how bad it will be for the other four countries."
"Your sister and the others know about your stay in Penglai Kingdom. As long as they are still alive and safe, they will definitely send someone to inquire about your situation. Then he will know the situation of his family." Although they are only relatives with two levels of relationship, Nalan Xu really treats Shangguan Ping'an as his own brother at this moment.
Although Shangguan Ping'an is young, he is thoughtful, considerate, brave and resourceful. He is much better than his brothers and is his favorite brother.
This younger brother traveled between the two countries and brought many interesting things to Penglai. He was excellent in both temperament and strength.
Nalan Xu cherishes his brotherhood with Shangguan Ping'an very much.
"Just listen to me and don't go back yet. I will arrange everything. When the time is right, I promise to let you return home safely." Nalan Xu assured again and again.
Shangguan Ping'an was deeply touched when he saw Nalan Xu's sincere consideration for him, and finally agreed: "Thank you, cousin emperor, I will listen to you and will not leave for now."
Nalan Xu finally laughed: "Just listen to my advice. It's worth it for me to take time out of my busy schedule to come to you."
"I'm relieved that you're not leaving. I'll go back to the palace first. There are still many memorials in the imperial study waiting for me to review!" Nalan Xu made a painful expression: "Just thinking about those memorials gives me a headache."
Although he complains all the time, when it comes to doing things, Nalan Xu will still do his best and devote himself to it wholeheartedly.
In recent years, under his leadership, Penglai Kingdom has been thriving.
After Shangguan Ping'an sent Nalan Xu away, he went to the other courtyard, where all the Yuan Dynasty subordinates who came with him rested.
"Sir!" Seeing Shangguan Ping'an coming, those people stood up and hurried to get their bags.
Shangguan Ping'an stopped him and said, "I changed my mind. I won't leave today. I'll talk about going home later."
The subordinates were quite puzzled, but no one raised any objection. Whatever Shangguan Ping'an said was the final word.
Each country was dealing with matters within its own territory and had no time to care about the situation in other countries. Time passed in a busy manner, and the construction of the Yuan Dynasty recovered rapidly, with sowing, road construction, and house building. Everything was moving in a good direction. The streets became bustling again, with shops opening, hawkers running around hawking their goods, and the world was full of fireworks.
On the ninth day of August, Shangguan Tang ended his busy work for more than half a year and finally had time to return to Tianan Prefecture. After entering the city, he galloped on his horse towards Qingquan Village.
All along the way, she saw a prosperous scene.
Tianan Prefecture used to be one of the ten poorest cities in the Yuan Dynasty, but now it has become the place with the richest resources in the Yuan Dynasty. Tianan Prefecture recovered the fastest from post-disaster reconstruction.
Shangguan Tang rode a white horse into Qingquan Village. Before he reached his home, he saw a group of children playing at the foot of the mountain.
"Young master, this sled can't be used." This was the voice of a little girl.
"Without snow, of course it can't be used." This is Xiao Yunting's voice pretending to be mature: "You have played with the sled for several months, haven't you had enough? Come, I will take you to ride a crocodile. My big crocodile is very interesting."
Xiao Yunting said this, and walked over, picked up the little girl from the abandoned sled, and headed towards a fish pond.
A dozen children followed Xiao Yunting.
"Little Grandpa, yesterday a crocodile killed Uncle Liu's duck. The adults said that crocodiles are cold-blooded and told us not to get close to them, or else they would kill us too. Will crocodiles really bite us?"
Xiao Yunting raised his chin and said, "Only when I'm not here will the crocodile bite the duck. When I'm here, the crocodile won't bite small animals or people. Just follow me."
A group of little kids came to the edge of the pond. Xiao Yunting put the little girl on the ground and shouted at the pond: "Big alligator, come out!"
The other children imitated his tone and shouted: "Big Crocodile, come out!"
"Big crocodile!"
Wow.
A huge head emerged from the pond and swam towards the shore.
"It's a crocodile. It's so big!"
The children were thrilled to see the giant crocodile.
"Young Master, you are so amazing that you can actually raise a crocodile. I also want to raise a majestic crocodile, but my mother won't let me!"
"Your mother is afraid that you will be eaten by a crocodile!" Xiao Yunting said with a smile.
A girl said: "In all the villages around, only the young master dares to raise crocodiles, and only the young master can tame crocodiles."
The big crocodile came ashore. It was nearly five meters long and looked to weigh at least five hundred kilograms. It was so huge that the children standing in front of it looked as small as food.
When Shangguan Tang saw the big crocodile's current appearance, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
“When did the predators get so big?”
When she left home, the crocodile was not so big. In just over half a year, the crocodile had grown a lot bigger. Its size was really scary.
The big crocodile was extremely obedient in front of Xiao Yunting. Seeing that Xiao Yunting was really going to carry the little girl on the crocodile's back, Shangguan Tang hurriedly rode over on his horse.
"Yun Ting, put him down!" Shangguan Tang shouted anxiously.
Xiao Yunting turned around and saw his mother coming on horseback. He was so happy that he forgot everything else: "Mom!"
He said to the children: "Look, my mother is back!"
When Shangguan Tang came in front of the children, a few adults came running from the right.
"Doudou, little ancestor Yunting, why did you call out the big crocodile again!"
"Doudou, get off the crocodile's back!"
Among those adults were the girl’s family. When they saw their daughter sitting on the crocodile’s back, they were very anxious.
Xiao Yunting patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, the crocodile will be very well behaved!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crocodile suddenly opened its mouth, swung its tail, and the girl fell off its back.
