Chapter 200: The Ruby Scheme
Chen Yan'er slowly stopped crying, looked at her father with her already red and swollen eyes, turned her head to Chen Chao and said, "Brother, this is our father, he finally came back to find us." β
Chen Chao hesitated, although the little child was smart, but he didn't know how to deal with the things in front of him, looking at his sister's expectant gaze, he still called softly: "Daddy!" β
Chen Qing agreed excitedly, then took the hands of the two children, looked at them carefully, and was full of gratitude to He Ziqing in his heart, the children were taken care of very well.
At this time, Chen Yan'er spoke: "Daddy, my mother is no longer here, she kept calling your name before she died, and asked me to take good care of my brother, waiting for you to come back, Daddy, Daddy"
The little girl began to cry again
Chen Qing couldn't help but hug a pair of children again
When the room was quiet, He Ziqing pushed the door in, and tears were about to fall when she saw the hugging scene, but she smiled, poured a cup of tea for Chen Qing, and carefully explained the cause and effect of this incident.
Chen Qing thanked He Ziqing again, and asked Ziqing to tell Gu Xinyu that he, Chen Qing, would definitely remember the great kindness of his benefactor. Chen Qing asked where his wife was buried, and He Ziqing was also very distressed about the woman with a thin face, and told Chen Qing that Chen Yan'er's mother had been properly buried and could take Chen Qing to worship at any time.
Everybody is like that, life goes on day by day, whether it's happiness or pain, because first you have to live.
After Chen Qing saw Gu Xinyu. thanked Gu Xinyu again for his great kindness, Gu Xinyu hurriedly said that he didn't need to be so polite, but there was one thing Gu Xinyu was very strange, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Master Chen, why haven't you sent a letter home for five years?"
Chen Qing's expression was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "I went to Kyoto five years ago to catch the exam, and the journey was very smooth, but I didn't expect to meet bandits in the Wild Wolf Mountain, which is less than five hundred miles away from Kyoto, and they saw that I was literate. I was forced to leave me as the bookkeeper. I was not allowed to go down the mountain, and I was not allowed to write to my family, and at that time, I didn't dare to write even if I wanted to, in case they knew about my wife and children's affairs and where they lived. I'm afraid it will cause them problems. I stayed up like this for five years. Or this year, the sky saw mercy, and the eldest prince returned to Kyoto and exterminated the bandits in Wild Wolf Mountain on the way. Seeing that I was a scholar and knowing what happened to me, they took me to Kyoto."
After listening to Gu Xinyu, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fate is really a wonderful thing.
Considering that Chen Chao still has to study in Tianlu Academy, and the county government also needs to be repaired before the children can live, the two children still stay here with He Ziqing for the time being.
He Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, if he left suddenly like this, he would definitely not be used to it, and there must be a process of slow adaptation
Fu Hongyu patrolled the border according to the usual practice, and the place where she is now is the northernmost fortress of Rongcheng and the last line of defense of the Great Zhou Dynasty, called Yanmen Pass.
The climate here is colder, the snow is thick, and the sky and the earth are white.
Although Fu Hongyu wore a lot, she also felt a slight chill through her bones.
She has sent a letter to the emperor's uncle, after this patrol, she will completely end her military career, obediently return to Kyoto to be married, according to her father's letter, has found a good son for her.
Fu Hongyu smiled faintly, and couldn't help muttering, is it good? There is only one good man in this world, but unfortunately, it does not belong to himself, the past, present, and future do not belong to him.
Thinking of his pride and ambition when he first came to Rongcheng, he didn't know where the confidence came from.
It's naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
But Fu Hongyu doesn't regret it, seeing it and trying it is much better than thinking about it in Kyoto.
At least he is dead, and it is fair to his future husband to marry like this.
One last time, and then it's all over.
Fu Hongyu urged the horse under her crotch and walked towards the border, followed by cavalry wearing battle armor.
In the snowy place, some black spots suddenly appeared, Fu Hongyu hurriedly stopped, and Wu Hao, who came with him, also stopped, and the two of them looked carefully, but the distance was far away, and the sight was not clear, and those black spots were obviously moving.
Fu Hongyu's blood surged into her heart, no need to think about it, it must be someone from Beichen Kingdom, and it is definitely not a good thing to be sneaky.
It is not her style to sit still and wait for death, Fu Hongyu rode her horse and rushed forward, Wu Hao only had time to say: "Don't go," and then saw that Fu Hongyu's figure had become far away.
"This stupid woman!" Wu Hao scolded hatefully, there was no way, the other cavalry had already rushed over with the main general, and he had to gallop forward.
Fu Hongyu obviously looked at the black spots very close, but after chasing them for so long, those black spots were still far away.
At this time, the north wind suddenly blew, and large snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Wu Hao in the back looked left and right, and secretly screamed that it was not good, because the surroundings were no longer familiar scenes, and they looked very unfamiliar, and they were likely to be lost.
The snow was still falling, Wu Hao decisively reined in the reins of the horse, and the soldiers who followed behind also stopped, and the cavalry led by Fu Hongyu could no longer see the shadow.
Wu Hao got off the horse, let the pro-soldiers also get off the horse, and then said solemnly to the pro-soldiers: "We are lost, this horse can take you back to the Rongcheng military camp, you go to report to General Zhou quickly, and then bring the rescuers here, I will try to find General Fu, and then, we will wait for you here, go back quickly, without delay!" β
Although the soldiers were full of words, he also knew that he was the best candidate to go back to report the news, and he didn't hesitate, and got on the horse neatly, Wu Hao hugged the horse's head and whispered to him, and saw the horse standing in place, listened attentively for a while, and then began to gallop in one direction.
There are only two horses in the military camp with this spirit, one is Zhou Jianjun's, and the other is his own, thanks to the young lady's snow wolf, every time he comes to the military camp, it will go to the nearby mountains and forests with these two horses to play, and over time, he has such a magical ability.
If it weren't for Fu Hongyu's insistence, she could stand where she was and wait for him, and things wouldn't have become so complicated.
Looking around, there was a white expanse everywhere, looking at the direction where Fu Hongyu went just now, there was only a piece of wind and snow, the sky was gloomy, and he couldn't tell the direction at all, he tightened the neckline of his cloak, Wu Hao knew that Fu Hongyu couldn't have an accident, although it was the most normal thing to die on the battlefield as a general, but Fu Hongyu was different, after she patrolled the border this time, she went back to Kyoto to get married, and the emperor's uncle only had this one beloved daughter, if something happened, Zhou Muhan would have endless troubles waiting for him, and the consequences were unimaginable.
After Wu Hao scolded the brainless woman fool again, he reluctantly got on the horse of his own soldiers and chased in the direction of Fu Hongyu and the cavalry (to be continued. )
