Chapter 304: The An Wangfei Kept in the Dark

Wang Ting didn't even think about it, not hesitating for even a second, and answered directly without any hesitation: "No problem!" His voice was firm and decisive, as if this decision was the most natural thing in the world for him.

Hearing Wang Ting's such a straightforward answer, Yan Wang felt a surge of gratitude in his heart. He hurriedly said: "Thank you, Wang General!"

Wang Ting smiled and patted Yan Wang's shoulder, encouragingly saying: "I'm optimistic about you, keep it up!" Although this sentence was short, it was full of strength and trust, making Yan Wang feel greatly encouraged.

Yan Wang nodded heavily, indicating that he would definitely do his best. Then, he didn't linger any longer, turned around and hurriedly left the tent.

He didn't even have time to say goodbye to Ai Jiao, and impatiently mounted his horse, galloping away, rushing towards the direction of home.

At this time, the sky had not yet completely darkened, but Yan Wang was anxious like fire on his back, whipping his horse along the way, not daring to stop at all. Finally, before the sun had set, he arrived at the door of his home.

As soon as he returned to An Wang Fu, Yan Wang didn't rest, but went straight to An Wang's study. His steps were hurried and eager, as if there was something important that needed to be discussed with An Wang immediately.

When he reached the door of the study, he just saw Yue Yi walking out from inside.

Yan Wang hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Yue Yi, is my royal father in?" Seeing Yan Wang, Yue Yi was first slightly stunned, then smiled and answered: "Fourth Young Master, you are back. The Prince is in the study."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Yan Wang said "En", then quickly walked to the door of the study, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

An Wang's hearing was extremely good; actually, as early as when Yan Wang and Yue Yi were talking, he had already heard their voices. So, when Yan Wang knocked on the door, he immediately responded: "Come in."

Yan Wang pushed open the door and walked into the study. He didn't exchange pleasantries as usual, but directly asked straight to the point: "Is it that royal father proposed for me to go?" An Wang looked at Yan Wang, a flash of appreciation in his eyes, he nodded and frankly replied: "Indeed."

Next, An Wang said with a smile: "This time is indeed an excellent opportunity." Yan Wang understood tacitly; he naturally understood royal father's meaning, so he no longer dwelled on it and responded straightforwardly: "Royal father, rest assured, I will definitely do my best and win this battle!"

An Wang looked at Yan Wang's confident and high-spirited appearance, and couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Haha, worthy of being my good son!"

Yan Wang immediately said: "Since that's the case, royal father, I have already asked Wang General for a map of Yu Zhou; I want to discuss it with royal father. If there are any shortcomings, I hope royal father will not hesitate to instruct."

An Wang saw his own son so proactive and enterprising, feeling greatly relieved in his heart, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Good!"

The words had not yet fallen when Yan Wang quickly took out the map of Yu Zhou from his bosom, carefully spreading it on An Wang's desk. Then, he pointed at the map and detailed his ideas and strategies.

An Wang listened attentively, occasionally raising some questions and suggestions. The two discussed heatedly in the study, the atmosphere exceptionally lively.

At the same time, An Wangfei also received the news of Yan Wanggui's return. She was overjoyed and immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare several exquisite dishes to reward her son. And Shangguan Xingyu was currently accompanying An Wangfei by her side, chatting with her about family matters.

An Wangfei suddenly felt doubtful, turned her head and asked Shangguan Xingyu: "Is Wang'er on leave today? Why didn't they tell us in advance?"

Just then, Shangguan Xingyu beside her said: "Fourth Brother might be tired and wants to rest for a while. By the way, the clothes I bought for Fourth Brother a few days ago, let him try them on later to see if they fit."

After hearing this, An Wangfei smiled and nodded in agreement: "Alright, this child is always busy and busy, doesn't even have time to buy clothes, and has been wearing those two sets of clothes back and forth all year round."

Next, An Wangfei seemed to remember something, turned her head and asked Chunxi: "Has Wang'er gone back to the courtyard to wash up?" She knew very well that Yan Wang usually, as soon as he returned, would first go back to his own courtyard to bathe and change clothes, and only after tidying himself up cleanly would he come to pay respects to her.

Chunxi hurriedly replied: "Replying to Wangfei, Fourth Young Master has not returned to the courtyard; he is currently in the Prince's study."

Hearing this, An Wangfei couldn't help but be somewhat surprised, secretly thinking in her heart: "Why didn't this child go to wash up, but instead went directly to the Prince's study? Could it be that there is something important?"

The more she thought about it, the more doubtful she felt, so she asked Chunxi again: "Then do you know what he went to the study for?"

Chunxi shook her head and said helplessly: "Your Servant is not too clear either; after Fourth Young Master returned, he went directly to the Prince's study, and Your Servant didn't dare to ask more."

Seeing this, An Wangfei knew that she probably couldn't get anything out of Chunxi, so she stopped asking, but the doubt in her heart became even heavier. However, she couldn't appear too eager, lest others see her unease.

At this time, Shangguan Xingyu beside her seemed to notice An Wangfei's thoughts and hurriedly comforted her: "Mother Consort, don't worry too much; Fourth Brother might just have some matters to discuss with Father King. After he finishes his business, he will definitely come over; by then, asking him won't be too late."

After hearing Shangguan Xingyu's words, An Wangfei felt there was some sense in it, so she nodded and said: "I suppose there's no other choice."

After speaking, she let her heart settle a little, and together with Shangguan Xingyu changed the topic, chatting about other things.

After Yan Wang had laid out his thoughts completely, An Wang was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "Have you ever considered the risks and variables that might exist in this?"

Hearing this, Yan Wang was stunned; he obviously hadn't thought deeply about this question, and for a moment was at a loss for words.

Seeing this, An Wang smiled slightly, then said: "Don't rush, and listen to this king explain them one by one." After speaking, he began to analyze in detail the various loopholes and potential crises in Yan Wang's plan.

Yan Wang listened with rapt attention, and the more he listened, the more he felt that what An Wang said was extremely reasonable; his previous ideas were indeed too simple and one-sided.

After An Wang finished explaining, Yan Wang felt as if he had been enlightened, and many originally unclear places became clear.

His eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he was even impatient to put these new understandings and strategies into practice.

However, just at this moment, An Wang suddenly put on a serious face and solemnly warned: "Yan Wang, you must know that when leading troops to fight outside, the greatest taboo is to reveal your feelings completely.

The military books this king gave you, you have also studied them carefully; you absolutely cannot give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage!"

Yan Wang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Royal father's teaching is correct; I remember it, son."
