Chapter 278: Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve

Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly put away the letter, shook his head and said, "I'm fine." It's not too early, and it's time for us to go back. ”

Wan Lin saw that Fu Xiaojiu's expression was wrong, and it was inconvenient for him to ask in detail in the medical hall, so he just asked: "Who was looking for you just now?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu said as calmly as possible: "Uncle Zhongjun is back." But he just passed by, helped me carry a letter from Mrs. Huo and left. ”

Wan Lin asked with concern, "Is it okay for Uncle Zhongjun to look at it?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu's tone finally became lighter, "He looks very good, darker and stronger than before, but his eyes look extraordinarily bright." ”

Wan Lin was relieved, "He didn't come back for the New Year, although he often wrote letters to his family, he couldn't see him, and his family was always worried." If only we could see with our own eyes that he's okay. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said with admiration: "Uncle Zhongjun is dressed in military uniform, he looks very vigorous, presumably General Huo values him very much, we don't have to worry." By the way, you give me the child to hold, you help me go to give a message to my uncle and aunt, just say that Uncle Zhongjun is here, he looks fine, and he also remembers them in his heart, so they don't have to worry about him. ”

Wan Lin responded: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

When Fu Xiaojiu arrived home, he locked himself in the house and read Mrs. Huo's letter several times.

It seems that Mrs. Huo has enough evidence that Li Dalong is really a subordinate of the third prince.

Fu Xiaojiu thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth to Mrs. Huo.

Li Dalong has been inexplicably disappearing for several months, life and death are uncertain, without him, his subordinates have no leader, and there are only dozens of people, presumably there are no waves.

Fu Xiaojiu wrote the letter, but he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Wan Lin returned home at this time, and as soon as he came back, Wan Feizhi quietly asked, "Third brother, the third sister-in-law locked herself in the house when she came back, what's wrong with her?" ”

Wan Lin smiled and said, "It's okay, your third sister-in-law may be tired, don't worry." This is the mutton that my mother brought back, you and your third sister-in-law will eat it at home, I will go to see your third sister-in-law, and then go to the store to help later. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and heat up the mutton."

Wan Feizhi could see that Fu Xiaojiu still had something on his mind, so he didn't inquire carefully, and went to the stove room sensibly.

Wan Lin knocked on the door before entering the house, "Lady, I'm back." ”

"Come in. What do you knock on when you go to your own house? ”

Fu Xiaojiu put Mrs. Huo's letter and her reply into the drawer of the dresser for the time being.

Wan Lin entered the house, and at a glance he saw that Fu Xiaojiu's eyebrows were shrouded in gloom, and he glanced at the inkstone again, and found that the inkstone was wet, and guessed that Fu Xiaojiu must have just finished replying to Mrs. Huo.

Wan Lin walked up to Fu Xiaojiu and said intimately: "Lady, your heart is written on your face." I'm not forcing you to ask, I'm afraid that you will be bored if you keep your heart in your heart. ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't want to say it, she was afraid that after Wan Lin knew about it, she would distract her energy and affect her reading.

Fu Xiaojiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xianggong, if I tell you about my troubles, you have to promise me that you will not be distracted and delay your studies for this matter." ”

Wan Lin nodded, "Okay, I promise you, no matter what you say, I won't be distracted and delay my study." ”

"See for yourself, then."

Fu Xiaojiu first showed Wan Lin the letter that Mrs. Huo gave her.

After Wan Lin read it quickly, he couldn't help but secretly gasp.

Without waiting for Wan Lin to say anything, Fu Xiaojiu handed her reply to Wan Lin again, "Look at my reply to Mrs. Huo again." ”

Wan Lin read Fu Xiaojiu's reply again, and after reading it, Wan Lin's eyes became a little more solemn.

"It seems that Li Dalong's identity is similar to what I guessed, but what I didn't expect was that Mrs. Huo actually knew his identity. Since the third prince has made such a move, the saint will definitely not let him sit in the position of the prince. A fight seemed imminent. ”

Fu Xiaojiu suddenly remembered what she had said to Nian Zhen, and she had guessed that Li Dalong's disappearance might be related to the matter of competing for the crown.

"Will Li Dalong's disappearance have anything to do with the three princes?"

Wan Lin said seriously: "It's very possible. If he's safe, I hope he never comes back, so it won't bother him! ”

Fu Xiaojiu immediately became worried, "But why do I think he is more than lucky?" I think he probably made cannon fodder for the third prince. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Xiaojiu frowned, "I still have a question, there are only one or two hundred people under Li Dalong's men, he went out this time and took away most of his subordinates, and there are only a few dozen people left in the county town." Is Mrs. Huo still worried that these dozens of people have the ability to rebel? ”

Wan Lin suddenly held Fu Xiaojiu's hand tightly, "Lady, do you remember the meteorite found in our backyard?" If these dozens of people have sharp weapons in their hands, I am afraid they can also make a fuss in the county. Moreover, the county seat is not too far from the border, so I am afraid that they will collude inside and outside, which will cause immeasurable consequences. ”

Hearing Wan Lin's words, Fu Xiaojiu's palms broke out in a nervous cold sweat.

"You're right, we really can't underestimate these dozens of people. But when I think of Li Dalong and He Huzi's help to us, and then I think of the love with Ji Sanniang, I really can't bear to agree to Mrs. Huo's request and monitor their every move in secret. ”

"Don't worry, Li Dalong is no longer there, Ji Sanniang can say to the outside world that she is just Li Dalong's mistress, and she doesn't know anything except asking Li Dalong for money. As for He Huzi, he is Li Dalong's right-hand man, and he can't get rid of it no matter what. It's useless to worry about him. All we can do right now is pray that they won't do anything foolish, and that they don't hit the stone with an egg. ”

Wan Lin looked very calm, but Fu Xiaojiu could feel from the palm of his hand that had also become cold, that Wan Lin was actually as nervous as her.

Fu Xiaojiu discussed with Wan Lin again: "Xianggong, do you think I can reply to Mrs. Hou like this?" She also knows that our family has a lot to do with Li Dalong, will she suspect that we are also with him? ”

"Don't worry, lady, with Mrs. Huo's intelligence, she will definitely know that even if we have a lot of relationship with Li Dalong, we don't have such a deep relationship with him. And I think that since Mrs. Huo already knows that Li Dalong is the person of the third prince, there must be a secret stake in the county, and she will definitely know that whenever Li Dalong wants to win me over, I will refuse, so we will definitely be able to dissociate ourselves from Li Dalong. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Lin finally revealed his true emotions and screwed his two thick eyebrows together.

"What I just said is seen by outsiders, but in fact, our family has indeed been taken care of a lot by Li Dalong, and it is unjust to dissociate ourselves from him for self-preservation. Is there any way to help him, even if something happens to him, we can come up with a way to save his life? ”

Wan Lin was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the house.

Fu Xiaojiu is also very anxious, if Li Dalong really becomes cannon fodder, everyone who has something to do with Li Dalong will probably have to suffer.

Although Fu Xiaojiu is sure that Mrs. Huo can protect their family, what should Li Dalong do? Can Ji Sanniang really be safe?

Will this matter affect Wanlin's future?

Is this the so-called "loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve"?

Wan Lin saw that Fu Xiaojiu was also silent with a frown, so he stopped and pulled Fu Xiaojiu to sit down together.

"Lady, you send this letter like this first, Mrs. Huo has her own judgment with clear ears and eyes. I was wondering if I could get a sniff from He Huzi, and if I could find out something, I would give him a hint and ask him not to give his life to the Third Prince and Li Dalong anymore. If they could move him and keep him from doing anything wrong, they might be fine. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said worriedly: "Then what if he hears what you mean, but doesn't appreciate it, he thinks you are a traitor and kills you?" You can't just go to He Huzi and talk about it! ”

Wan Lin calmed down and said, "What the lady said is that I'm not in a hurry, and when I'm in a hurry, I think about it inappropriately." So let's treat this incident as if it hasn't happened, what should we do every day, if He Huzi really has something to do, let's see if we should tell Mrs. Huo about these things according to the situation. ”

Fu Xiaojiu replied helplessly: "I'm afraid that's the only way." ”

Fu Xiaojiu sent the letter to the post station early in the morning, but as soon as he came out of the post station, he ran into He Huzi.

Seeing He Huzi, Fu Xiaojiu's expression was not very natural.

Fu Xiaojiu waited for him to step into the threshold before he first asked with a smile: "Brother He is so coincidental?" Are you taking a letter or sending a letter? ”

He Huzi replied, "I'll see if there is any letter from the master." ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "If there is a letter from Brother Li, it will naturally be sent to you directly, why do you bother to pick it up?" ”

He Huzi didn't care about the letter, looked directly at Fu Xiaojiu and asked, "Fu Langzhong, I heard that a soldier came to the hospital to look for you yesterday?" Is there such a thing? ”

Unexpectedly, He Huzi made the first move, and actually asked Fu Xiaojiu first.

Fu Xiaojiu knew that her every move couldn't escape He Huzi's eyes, so she didn't hide it, and said frankly: "That's right, it was my uncle Zhongjun who came to me yesterday, and he helped Mrs. Huo bring a letter to me." ”

He Huzi said appreciatively: "It turns out that the soldier is a loyal brother!" I really can't imagine that he came back in such majestic armor, and it was unrecognizable! It seems that he must be very valued by General Huo in the army! ”

Fu Xiaojiu also said with admiration: "Yes, little uncle, he is brave and fearless, and his performance in the army must be very good." ”

After envying Feng Zhongjun for a while, Fu Xiaojiu smiled at He Huzi again: "Brother He, I have to go, it's time for the hospital to open." ”

He Huzi politely hugged Fu Xiaojiu, "Okay, don't delay you!" ”

When Fu Xiaojiu walked to the door, he turned his head and found that He Huzi was talking to the post chief, and He Huzi also glanced at Fu Xiaojiu.

Both of them showed a slightly embarrassed look, smiled awkwardly at each other, and Fu Xiaojiu left.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't really leave, she casually approached a store and bought some things, and after waiting for a while, she saw He Huzi coming out of the post station, and she turned back to the post station.

Fu Xiaojiu found the post chief and asked, "May I ask if the letter I was going to send just now is still there?" ”
