Chapter Forty-Nine: The Marshal Returns

As soon as Qi Wu left for about half an hour, Qin Shu woke up, with a little confusion in his eyes.

After a while, her mind was completely clear, and she remembered the scene before she fell unconscious, and then she suddenly sat up from the bed. She looked around vigilantly, and found that she was still in bed at home, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and lifted the tent and got out of bed.

There was also an oil lamp in the bedroom for lighting, which was a little dim, but it didn't interfere with her movements.

She wanted to call someone in, but suddenly found that her clothes were stained with a lot of blood, and they were all completely dry, and she was afraid that she would not be able to wash them off even if she washed them. Qin Shu simply took off his bloody clothes and threw them into the space. I found a clean long jacket and put it on my body, and then walked out.

In the living room, it's still the same as before. The words she wrote were still placed upright on the kang table on the Luohan couch, the pen and ink had not been put away, and the candles were still burning on the candlestick, but some of the candles were about to burn out.

Qin Shu stepped forward and blew out the other candles, leaving only a relatively thick candle to illuminate, and the room suddenly became much darker.

Qin Shu walked out of the living room and walked to the living room, but found that Dongxue and Qiushuang were lying on the chairs on the side, still asleep, she didn't wake them up, but lifted the felt curtain and walked out of the house, the courtyard was very silent, there was no sound, the lanterns in the corridor emitted a faint light, swaying back and forth with the night wind.

Qin Shu sighed. It seems that no one knows what is going on here, and no one has found Fang Chengan, no, Qi Wu and them, and even, no one in her yard has come, otherwise it would not be so quiet. She didn't know whether she was disappointed or relieved.

She returned to the house and woke up Winter Snow and Autumn Frost.

The two of them didn't know how they fell asleep at all, they just thought they had made a mistake, and quickly knelt down in horror to plead guilty.

Qin Shu comforted them a few words, and then asked them to go back to rest, and the things would be packed up tomorrow.

Although the two were very uneasy, they heard that Mrs. did not mean to blame, and they were a little relieved, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they obediently obeyed the order and retreated.

Qin Shu closed the door, went back to the room, and saw blood stains on the floor of the living room, so he cleaned it up again. Then, I blew out the candle flame, returned to the bedroom in the middle of the house, took off my shoes and went to bed, and entered the space again.

When she soaked in the bathtub of the space bathroom, her tense mind finally relaxed completely.

This time, she was indeed planted.

After a few years of easy life, she even lowered her vigilance a lot, and she didn't even notice that people came to her, and in the end, she was stunned. If that person wanted her own life, I'm afraid she would be dead by now.

Thinking of this, Qin Shu opened her eyes, and a strong sense of self-blame and unwillingness surged in her heart.

She can't be so comfortable and decadent anymore, she must strengthen her exercise and be vigilant.

This incident is simply a shame for her.

She would never allow that to happen a second time.

and that Qi Wu, I don't know who it is.

She needs to look it up.

She didn't believe that people like Qi Wu had no name.

You'an is coming back soon, so maybe you can ask him

He must have known.

However, she can't always rely on You'an. From now on, she must also pay attention to the collection of information and intelligence.

Regarding Qi Wu's words that can be called a "confession", although his attitude and tone are very serious, Qin Shu did not take it too seriously.

They have known each other for too short a time, but they have only met a few times, and the time they have been together, combined, is less than a day, and it is too hasty and frivolous to say that they like it, and she can't believe it anyway.

Even if he really likes himself, he must come and go quickly, and he is not trustworthy at all. After a while, he will inevitably forget about this ridiculous liking.

She didn't have to worry about it at all, or even worry about it.

Qin Shu got up from the bathtub, rinsed the foam on her body, wiped it off, put on her bathrobe, looked at the mirror in the bathroom, and carefully looked at her body.

She is still young now, especially when she smiles lightly, two small pear vortices are revealed on her lips, and a sense of sweetness and freshness comes to her face, becoming more and more unlike a person of this age, plus, her complexion is white and red, she has always been excellent, even if she dresses up in the old, but where her appearance is, she will still look extraordinarily young.

Then Qi Wu should not be confused by her appearance, right?

It's a pity that no matter how young she looks out, her heart is old, and she doesn't have the heart to fall in love at all.

Qin Shu shook her head slightly and smiled, turned around and walked out.

Lying on the big bed in the bedroom, Qin Shu slowly fell asleep.

At the same time, Minzhou City is more than ten miles away.

Qi Wu suddenly grabbed the reins and turned to look at Minzhou City.

"My lord?" Seeing this, Shi Fang also stopped, and looked at Qi Wu in surprise on his horse.

A hint of clarity flashed in Cao Mu's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Is the lord reluctant to let Mrs. Qin go?" Anyway, it's still too late, otherwise, let's go back again and bring out the lord's sweetheart. ”

Qi Wu retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Let's go!" ”

"But......" Cao Mu was a little stunned.

He didn't understand, since the lord was so reluctant to let people go, why didn't he take her away?

Qi Wu sighed, did he think he didn't want to? Unfortunately, he couldn't take her with him. She wouldn't have left with him.

"Less nonsense! It's too late, but it's too late. Qi Wu said, "As far as I go back to Qizhou, I can't wait to fight Qin Youan." ”

After saying that, he led the pioneer horse away.

Cao Mu and Shi Fang glanced at each other, and also chased after them.

In any case, the lord is positive and self-motivated, which is a good thing!

After waking up early the next day, Qin Shu nearly doubled the amount of training.

The amount of exercise had nearly doubled, and of course, within the limits of her body.

In this life, she cherishes her life very much and will never overdraw her body.

Because the exercise time is longer, the time to "get up" is naturally later than in the past, and the sky is bright.

Dongxue and the others were already waiting outside the door.

Hearing the sound of people shouting inside, he rushed in with things.

As soon as Qin Shu had breakfast, she heard Chen Xiuyuan ask to see her.

Qin Shu was not surprised by this, he must have found that "Fang Chengan" was gone, so he couldn't wait to see her.

After all, she was the one who reminded him in the first place.

He must have thought he knew something.

"Please Chen Dushi go to the living room." Qin Shu rinsed her mouth, pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and said.

Chen Xiuyuan was led into the courtyard, and then into the living room, the maids served tea, and after he thanked him, he sat down at the table below and waited.

Although his face was still calm and light, his heart was already anxious.

The lord trusted him so much that he handed over all the affairs after leaving to him, but he made such a big mistake that he let people with ulterior motives get involved.

At the beginning, when Mrs. Qin reminded him, he was indeed suspicious, but he didn't find out anything wrong with him in the past few days, and there were not many doubts in his heart, but he thought that Mrs. Qin was too careful, but he didn't expect that Fang Chengan would escape overnight, and he didn't receive the news until the next day. It simply slapped him in the face, making him feel ashamed and embarrassed, and his face was even more painful.

If that Fang Cheng'an stays for a while longer, I am afraid that he will dispel his suspicions and suspicions about him, and he will be reused by the lord under his recommendation. At that time, the loss will only be greater, and maybe it will ruin the lord's great affairs.

Now he can only rejoice that Fang Cheng'an escaped, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He has already sent someone to hunt him down, and he also knows the other party's ability, and letting him go is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it can't be used by them, so it can only be killed.

He can only do this to make up for his mistakes.

It's a pity that he doesn't know the identity of the other party until now.

Otherwise, it won't spin around like a headless fly.

He could only come and ask Mrs. Qin now. Maybe he would know better.

Almost half a cup of tea later, Qin Shu appeared, but Chen Xiuyuan seemed to have been waiting for a year.

"Chen Xiuyuan pays a visit to his wife." Chen Xiuyuan immediately got up and bowed to Qin Shu.

"Chen Du is not welcome, please take a seat!" Qin Shu sat down in the upper seat and said with a smile.

"Mrs. Xie." After Chen Xiuyuan thanked him, he sat down again.

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Chen Dushi came to see me in such a hurry, but what is the important matter?" Qin Shu said.

Chen Xiuyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Qin Shu: "As Mrs. expected, Wansheng came to apologize to Mrs. and ask for help this time. ”

"Oh? What's going on? Qin Shu knew what was going on, but she still looked surprised.

"Being born late has the trust of my wife." Chen Xiuyuan got up again and solemnly bowed to Qin Shu.

After a pause, Fang said with some difficulty: "Fang Cheng'an...... Escaped overnight. ”

Qin Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't speak.

"It's all my fault, I couldn't reveal his identity in time, and let him escape. Obviously, Mrs. has already reminded me of the late birth, but I ......" Chen Xiuyuan's face showed a look of shame and continued.

Qin Shu nodded with a flat expression and asked, "Have you found out his identity?" ”

"Late Sheng is ashamed that he didn't find out his true identity." Chen Xiuyuan was even more ashamed.

"Since he didn't find out, why did he run away?" Qin Shu asked in surprise.

She also thought that Qi Wu wanted to escape in such a hurry because he exposed his flaws and was found out.

"This ...... The subordinates couldn't guess either. Chen Xiuyuan said in frustration.

He didn't understand why Fang Chengan was about to succeed and still left.

As long as he doesn't show his flaws, he will definitely stay.

But he left like this before the marshal came back, which is really incomprehensible.

"Madame, do you have any clues about Fang Cheng'an's identity?" Chen Xiuyuan asked sincerely.

Qin Shu paused for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Qi Wu's identity, she still waited for You'an to come back and ask him, there was no need to tell Chen Xiuyuan first. The men have been gone for so long, and their chances of catching up are slim.

Chen Xiuyuan was even more disappointed, but still asked, "Then why did Madame doubt him at the beginning?" ”

Qin Shu smiled: "Intuition." ”

Chen Xiuyuan was speechless, he never thought it would be this answer.

"Okay, then you continue to hunt down, I can't do anything about this matter." Qin Shu picked up the teacup and said.

"Yes, late retirement." Seeing this, Chen Xiuyuan got up and said goodbye with some frustration.

When Chen Xiuyuan walked to the door, his footsteps paused, he always felt that his wife should know something, but she didn't tell him, and he was helpless. With a sigh, he walked away.

When Zhou Zhen'er came, she happened to see Chen Xiuyuan walking away, so she paused for a moment and walked in.

Qin Shu didn't want Zhou Zhen'er to come over early to say goodbye, so she asked her to come over after breakfast.

I saw that Zhou Zhen'er was dressed very brightly, and her makeup was much more exquisite than before, her eyes were shining, and there was a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, as if the whole person was alive, and it seemed that it was different from before.

Qin Shu was not surprised, after all, if there was no accident, You'an should be able to get home today. Zhou Zhen'er's feelings for You'an, she has always seen it in her eyes.

After Zhou Zhen'er saluted Qin Shu, she accompanied Qin Shu and talked for a while.

Qin Shu was a little bored, so she wanted to go out for a walk, and Zhou Zhener volunteered to accompany her.

"Aunt Qin,

"Aunt Qin, the flowers in several gardens in the mansion have bloomed, and they are very beautiful. Especially in the garden in the east, the peach blossoms and pear blossoms bloom particularly beautifully, the day before yesterday, I also asked the maid to pick some peach blossom petals to boil porridge and drink, I heard that after the woman drinks, the appearance will be as beautiful as the peach blossoms! Zhou Zhen'er said shyly and excitedly.

Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Then go and take a look!" He also instructed the girls to pick some too, and if they didn't pick any more, they would wither.

The group slowly walked to the east garden, and the peach blossoms were indeed not as good as they had been a few days ago, no longer so pink and tender, and had withered a lot. However, the other flowers are blooming just right, and they are very beautiful.

But everyone was a little disappointed and picked some of them.

Qin Shu looked around for a week and found that there were no traces of the fight that day.

Zhou Zhen'er didn't expect this, her face showed a little embarrassment, and she said in a sneering voice: "I'...... When I came the day before yesterday, it was still in good shape. ”

Qin Shu smiled: "I don't blame you. The flowering period of this peach blossom is already short. ”

She had seen the scenery here for a long time, so how could it be rare, she just wanted to come out for a walk.

"Aunt Qin, will the marshal come back today?" When they went back, Zhou Zhen'er helped her, with a little expectation, and asked cautiously.

Qin Shu smiled: "If there is no accident, I should come back." What, do you miss him? ”

Zhou Zhen'er's face turned red all of a sudden, lowered her head, and stammered, "I...... I didn't...... No, no, no, I want to ......"

"Okay, I'm kidding you, don't be so real." Qin Shu saw that she was about to cry, so she quickly interrupted her and said.

Zhou Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief, but refused to raise her head in shame.

Seeing this, Qin Shu could only let her go back first. She herself went to the Red Lotus Courtyard, looked at the female students, and saw that they were all serious about practicing martial arts, so she didn't bother, so she went back to her courtyard.

As soon as Qin Shu had lunch, a spy sent out sent back the news that the marshal was twenty miles away and would arrive soon.

Hearing the news, Qin Shu was overjoyed and immediately wanted to go to the city gate to greet her.

was persuaded by Mama Shi.

"Madam, don't worry, you better take a nap first, the marshal won't be there for a while. You are in good health, why go there to blow the cold wind, if you get cold, won't the marshal feel distressed? ”

Qin Shu can be stable here, after all, she is the marshal's mother, and others can't be calm. Almost the entire process of military and civilian action was launched.

Not to mention the soldiers who stayed behind, even those ordinary people wanted to greet the marshal and see the marshal's demeanor.

The city gate was opened, Chen Xiuyuan, Cheng Yingcai and other generals led a group of soldiers to greet the colonel outside the city gate early, and the people in the city occupied the road, full of excitement.

After the marshal led the troops to the battle, the good news kept coming back. Knowing that the marshal has occupied many places again, maybe he will be able to claim the throne in the future!

However, not everyone is happy about Qin Youan's return. For example, the Huang family and the Xu family.

When the marshal returns, it means that the Huang family is about to be unlucky.

It's not that the Huang family didn't want to escape, but where can they flee now? What's more, the eldest young master of the Huang family is still under Marshal Qin!

Mrs. Huang was too frightened and fell ill a long time ago.

Compared with the Huang family, the Xu family is not much better.

Vice Marshal Xu is still lying on the bed, and Mrs. Xu washes her face with tears all day long.

The three sons were not angry, and the father fell ill, and they were all like frosted eggplants.

Xu Huizhu is naΓ―ve and ignorant, she has a huge family, relying only on Shen Jingfang's support alone, and keeps the Xu Mansion in good order, and after a few days, she is so thin that she is almost out of shape.

Qin Shu didn't know the situation of the Xu and Huang families, and she didn't care.

It has nothing to do with her, and now, even Shen Jingfang, she doesn't pay attention to it.

How about love!

Qin Shu took a nap, but she still couldn't sit still.

After letting people dress up, they took a carriage to the outside of the city gate, and Zhou Zhen'er also went with him.

As soon as Qin Shu's carriage arrived outside the city gate, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, as if the earth was shaking.

Qin Shu hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked into the distance. I saw a dark cloud in the distance with the vibration, flying forward, the iron armor was forested, the iron hooves were flying, and the momentum was compelling.

"It's the marshal who has returned." Zhou Zhen'er shouted in surprise and excitement.

Not only her, but almost everyone had a smile on their faces.

The marshal has finally returned.

Qin Shu was also looking forward to it in her heart, her eyes were slightly sour, and she looked at the distant gaze, but she didn't know when it was blurred.

The neighing of horses sounded, and the cavalry led by Qin Youan finally arrived in front of them.

The crowd, led by Chen Xiuyuan and Cheng Yingcai, all saluted him and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the marshal!" ”

All the soldiers also shouted in unison: "Welcome Marshal!" ”

The momentum is earth-shattering.
