Chapter 207: Looking Forward

But Xie Ke always had a feeling that he couldn't see through this person. She also talked to Qi Lu about Xiao Qingqian. At that time, Qi Lu just hugged her, and then whispered...... He's the elder brother.

The implication is that he naturally won't harm their little couple.

It's just that this trip to the north was really too bumpy. None of the things that were originally conceived seemed to have been completed as intended...... Fortunately, no matter what, the northern rebels did not cross the Beichen Pass after all. This is the biggest difference between this life and the previous one. In the previous life, the Beichen Pass was lost, and the northern mob drove in......

In the end, although the emperor transferred troops to punish the generals, the rebellious army was driven back to Beichen Pass.

But after all, in order to deal with the rebellion in the north, the Great Wei can be said to have added fuel to the fire. After all, at that time, the Great Wei had already begun to have a food shortage, and everyone knew that the war was actually about who had more money and who had more food. Although the rebellion in the north of the previous generation broke into the Beichen Pass, although it was not the root cause of the Great Wei food disaster, it was the contributing cause.

In this life, because of Qi Lu's efforts, he has been blocking the rebel army in the north outside Beichen Pass.

In the meantime, there is naturally Xiao Qingqian's credit, from beginning to end, he seems to be hard-working.

It's just that Xie Ke still can't convince himself to believe in Xiao Qingqian like his little uncle Chu Ye and Qi Lu. The so-called desire to harm others is indispensable, and the desire to prevent others is naturally indispensable.

Knowing that Xie Ke was in distress last night, and the person who came turned out to be King Ning, Chu Ye was silent for a long time, and finally told Xie Ke.

King Ning should be harmless.

As for the reason, Chu Ye did not say deeply.

Xie Ke didn't ask, in fact, she vaguely understood something in her heart.

Although in the last life, the king of Xiang won in the end. became the new monarch of Great Wei...... But did King Ning have the heart to compete for the crown in his last life?

King Ning is the same age as Qi Lu, the fourth in the royal family, and he has three elder brothers. The crown prince, the king of Xiang, and the king of Yu born to Xiao Guifei. Speaking of competing for the position, I'm afraid he is the most hopeless one...... Therefore, if he really has the heart to compete for the prince, it is not impossible to pretend to be attached to the king of Xiang first, and conspire with the king of Hunan to pull the prince off the horse.

But is he friend or foe against Qilu?

I'm afraid these answers can only be answered when Qi Lu returns.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of arranging the curve rescue...... He Zhang speculated that if Qi Lu escaped successfully, there should be news back today. In the past three days, their men and horses attacked the enemy's three towns in three ways. As Xie Ke expected. Enemy reinforcements arrived the next day, and the soldiers feinted defeat as planned.

The team sent by Uncle Chu Ye also had news.

said that Qi Lu's whereabouts were not found, which means that maybe Qi Lu's identity was exposed, as for why Qi Lu returned late. But it is impossible to find out.

This whole day. Xie Ke is restless......

Dinner was over. He Zhang asked to see him with a disappointed face, saying that there was still no news of Qi Lu. Xie Ke's heart froze when she heard this, and she was in turmoil at this time. She did everything she could, everything she could arrange, but there was still no news from the young man.

Even if he is captured and hurt, there should always be news.

How can you sink into the enemy's hinterland like a stone in the sea, and there is no news.

"He Zhang, you go and wait outside the city, the master will definitely come back." Xie Ke finally said in a deep voice. They should be of the same mind, and he must be able to understand her arrangement. So I will definitely take the opportunity to get out...... She knew that he was not worried about her and the child, so he must be fine, definitely not.

He Zhang responded and turned to leave.

From beginning to end, He Zhang didn't glance at Cong Rui beside Xie Ke......

Cong Rui clenched her fists, she knew that this was not the time for children to be in love. But is there only a master in that man's heart? Can't you just look at her more?

What love and love are all fake. The young grandmother and the second master have a deep relationship with each other, the whereabouts of the second master are unknown, the young grandmother can't eat or sleep, and seeing that the person who is pregnant with the child is not only not fat, but also a little thinner. So what are the benefits of a woman being in a relationship? It's nothing more than more pain, more pain, and more worry.

And what about the greeting chapter......

I used to look at her every time we met, but now I don't even look at her at all.

Feeling? She would rather be like what she promised the young grandmother, never marry, so she will stay with the young grandmother like this...... Xie Ke's head is full of Qi Lu, and she doesn't have the heart to care about Cong Rui at the moment, not to mention that in her opinion, Lin Changyuan is already an excellent candidate for a husband.

If Cong Rui is still not satisfied, I am afraid it will be difficult to find her satisfied in this world.

As for her and He Zhang.

It's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's that she can't do it. And He Zhang never revealed half a sentence in front of her from beginning to end.

It gave her no reason to intervene. Since you don't want to fight for it as a man, do you want Cong Rui to be a girl in a hurry to speak? Cong Rui is from a humble background, and he can't despise himself so much.

Cong Rui was silent, Xie Ke didn't want to speak, and the master and servant looked out the window.

One hour, two hours......

"Young grandma, rest, you are not tired, the little master is also tired." Cong Rui rubbed his eyes and persuaded. Xie Ke nodded, and stretched out his hand to let Cong Rui help him sleep......

Cong Rui was also very worried about Qi Lu in her heart.

Although the man had a bad temperament, he was very good to his own girl. Ever since I married a girl, there has been nothing that I have not followed. No matter what the girl said, he always listened. That's better than many men...... Although some men seem to have good temperaments, they are secretly disobedient.

But Second Master Qi is not.

I just hope that you can return safely.

Cong Rui tucked the quilt for Xie Ke, sighed and exited the inner room.

I just went out of the room, but I saw a figure in the porch. Cong Rui was startled and was about to open her mouth to exhale, but the candlelight flickered, but she saw the appearance of that person.

Cong Rui covered her mouth with her hands, barely hiding her exclamation.

“…… Second master. ”

He nodded under the porch, but his eyes were looking into the inner room. "The young grandmother just lay down. The master came back immediately, so he went in to take a look at the young grandmother......" Qi Lu should not, Cong Rui raised his eyes and looked at him, and then quickly lowered his head.

"The young grandmother has not thought about tea and food in the past few days, so the master can't bear to worry the young grandmother."

Patience?

The answer, of course, is unbearable. It's just that...... Qi Lu raised his hand and touched his face.

Although he didn't like to be jokingly called a 'beauty', he didn't want multiple scars on his face...... Especially not wanting to see sympathy in Xie Ke's eyes. He is Qi Lu, Qi Lu who does not need people's sympathy and pity anytime and anywhere.

Actually, he shouldn't be here.

He should have another ten days and eight days, and when the scar on his face faded, she would see it, and she would not cry and grab the ground. It's just that he misses her, and his heart hurts when he thinks about it.

"Master, young grandma is not a superficial girl."

This time Qi Lu responded.

He nodded. Yes, his little girl naturally wouldn't dislike him because of the extra scar on his face, not to mention that Lin Changyuan said that this scar will not damage his beauty, but will add a bit of manly charm to him. That remark was naturally regarded as nonsense by Qi Lu. It's not ugly, but it's definitely not beautiful. He didn't really care that much, but he was accidentally slashed by the tip of his knife while fighting the northern leader.

In contrast, he cut off the opponent's head with a single sword, and he earned it.

It's just that this injury is not suitable for Xie Ke to see......

But his feet didn't seem to be under his control at all, and he came out of her house without heeding. "Second master, what are you hesitating about, aren't you afraid that the young grandmother will be too worried and hurt the little master in her stomach." These words naturally struck Qi Lu to the ground at once.

That child may be the only child in his life.

Nature is very important. Lin Changyuan even proposed to simply let the little girl start lying in bed until the child landed safely. Just when Cong Rui thought that Qi Lu couldn't bear it after all and would definitely push the door in, he didn't want the man to turn around, but it seemed that he wanted to go outside. Cong Rui was shocked, but he didn't dare to really open his mouth to call Xie Ke out.

After all, Qi Lu is the master, and she is just Xie Ke's dowry girl.

She didn't dare to do anything about openly disobeying her master. It's just that...... Suddenly, a soft choking sound made Qi Lu's steps stop instantly......

His fist clenched, clenched, and so on three times, and finally he slowly turned around. In the moonlight, the little girl was dressed in a thin middle coat, although it was early spring weather, but the night in the north was very cold. What's more, she still has a big belly. Qi Lu walked to Xie Ke in three steps and two steps, and then couldn't help but pick up Xie Ke, and entered the house without saying a word.

Cong Rui watched from the sidelines, and suddenly felt that his eyes were a little astringent.

At this time, He Zhang walked to her from nowhere. A soft voice called 'Cong Rui......'

***

In the house, Qi Lu strode into the inner room and stuffed Xie Ke into the quilt, as if he was afraid that she would not be warm enough, and carefully tucked the quilt for her, and then turned around suddenly. Just a small hand grabbed the hem of his clothes...... "Let go." He scolded.

"Don't let go." Xie Ke gritted his teeth and said.

“…… Sister Bao, let go. When Qi Lu spoke again, there was a bit of helplessness in his voice.

"Ah Lu, why are you so ruthless." This time, when Xie Ke spoke again, his voice was already dyed with crying, why was he so ruthless...... Obviously came back, but he didn't come to see her, leaving her alone in the middle of the night.

What if you hurt your face?

Even if he breaks his appearance and ruins his face, she will not abandon him.

In his heart, is she a judge by her appearance? The more Xie Ke thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she made repeated arrangements, and she was already exhausted...... The faith of his return sustains everything. He finally returned, but he avoided it. If she hadn't vaguely heard Cong Rui's voice and was suspicious, she finally got up to check if he still didn't plan to see her, leaving her alone like a fool.

Is he ruthless? He immediately rushed forward and took her in his arms.

But...... Qi Lu raised his hand and touched his face. Painfully reminded him that his face was hurt, and he was no longer the handsome and incomparable second son of Qi in the little girl's heart...... "Sister Bao, you rest early, and I will accompany you in a few days." ”

It's just that Xie Ke doesn't plan to let go.

Qi Lu couldn't bear to really be rough with her. "Alu, if I also cut a knife in the face, you will stay." [Thank you for your monthly passes.] Not much has been seen lately, so I decided to give it a go-to-go. (To be continued......)
