Chapter 761: Back inland
Hua Cheng and Lotus stayed in the Extremely Cold Castle for nearly half a month, they made the cause and effect of the year clear, and also found some old people who knew Hua Cheng's parents, and learned from their mouths that they had no choice but to do so.
"At that time, there was a famine in the Extreme Cold Castle, and many families with children tried their best to send their children out, Hua Cheng, you were also one of them, at that time, there was an organization dedicated to taking care of children, and they transported the children to the inland to find a few good families, which allowed the bloodline of the Extreme Cold Castle to continue."
It turned out that Hua Cheng's father and mother did not mean to abandon him, and he was not born a child that no one wanted. Across the distant sea, Hua Cheng's parents often don't think about tea and dinner, and have been waiting for the day when their children grow up and meet them again.
Who knew that the accident came relatively early, and they were tragically killed by the Dongdao people before they could wait for Hua Cheng and died in the secret room of the castle.
"I see, thank you."
Hua Cheng said lightly with a gloomy face, not shocked on the surface, but surging in his heart, the lotus who was watching from the side did not say much, just gently stroked his back, signaling him to calm down and learn to accept reality.
The deceased are gone, and the living can only live up to their wishes. Hua Cheng's father and mother wrote clearly in their suicide note that they must let him live well and live a decent life.
"Let's pack up our things and go back tomorrow, the Nineteenth Lord needs our help."
After a moment of silence, Hua Cheng took her hand and walked on the tree-lined path, his eyes showed a firm meaning, if it weren't for the lotus flower by his side, I'm afraid he wouldn't survive the day when he knew the truth.
It was only a matter of time before Hua Cheng and Lotus returned to their temporary residence to pack up their baggage, gave most of the dry food to the elderly around them, and helped them take care of their lives.
"We'll be back, right? Come back at least once a year to worship. ”
The lotus flower leaned tightly on his chest, tears flashed in her eyes, and Hua Cheng also nodded in agreement, waving goodbye to the old people.
The big ship moved slowly on the sea, and the sails were raised in the direction of the inland, and the two men sat silently in the middle of the boat, they had not received news from the inland for a long time, and their hearts began to feel uneasy, for fear that something would happen in their absence.
At that time, they left everything and were fine, but the owner of the East Island had a full stomach of flowers, he would definitely not stay in the prison without giving up, Hua Cheng made a prediction in advance, and the owner of the East Island would definitely do something that would give the nineteen princes a headache.
The facts also proved that his foresight was correct, but by the time his ship arrived inland, Ouyang Huaiyu had already disposed of the owner of the East Island.
The boatman along the coast recognized that it was the personal guard of the Nineteenth Prince, and became enthusiastic, and also sent a large number of pastries to cushion the stomach, and invited the two to drink and chat in the inn.
"A while ago, the emperor personally came to appease the people, and the people were very excited, thinking about seeing the dragon's face!"
Several drinking boatmen talked about the riots in the interior of the palace and the invasion of the elite soldiers of the East Island, but everything was successfully resolved with the full cooperation of the Nineteen Princes and the Emperor, which was indeed a good thing and worthy of national celebration.
Hua Cheng, who was drinking wine, listened to their words in a daze, and couldn't help but turn his face to look at the lotus face, they didn't know that there was such a big change in the palace, which was bound to be a test for the Ouyang family, and it was also a sad hurdle!
"Thank you for your hospitality, but the two of us still have important things to do, so let's go first!"
After reading each other's thoughts with the lotus, Hua Cheng stood up with the spirit sword in his arms, and quickly got on his horse and rushed to the gate of the palace.
It's only been half a month, the former palace has become very dilapidated, the city wall is full of traces of fighting, several guards assisted the craftsmen in building the city wall, one of them recognized Hua Cheng and Lotus Flower with a sharp eye, respectfully stepped forward to salute, and talked about what happened recently.
"Is the nineteenth prince okay? Where is the emperor now? ”
Hua Cheng asked two questions in a hurry, he was worried about the health of the Nineteenth Prince, when the two of them left, Ouyang Huaiyu was still in the stage of recuperation, and during this period, he had to endure the repeated attacks of the East Island Lord and Star Thunder, and there would inevitably be big problems.
Lotus couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, she gritted her back molars and clenched her fists, but when she was away, if something happened to Miss Xia, she would definitely not forgive herself!
"The nineteenth prince and Miss Xia have returned to the prince's mansion to recuperate, and the emperor is still handling the government affairs as usual in the front hall, I don't know what else is going on with the two of you?"
The guards told them all, and then looked at their faces and retreated respectfully, so that they could think for a while.
After a while, Hua Cheng and Lotus's carriage and horse stopped in front of the door of the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, and the housekeeper who came over greeted the two of them with a smile on their faces, and shouted at the inner hall.
"Huacheng guards and lotus girls have arrived!"
This sentence made Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu in the back room both smile brightly, they had already felt bored in the house, if it weren't for the promise he made before, he wouldn't have bothered him by not writing letters for so many days.
The two people who got off the horse hurriedly walked into the front hall, Hua Cheng knelt on the ground without saying a word, stretched out his hand and said apologetically: "Nineteen princes, the minister is late, you are so seriously injured, the minister deserves death!" ”
The lotus holding Xia Zhixue also looked ashamed, after all, they had already made a promise that they would definitely accompany the prince and protect each other's safety with their lives.
Xia Zhixue waved her hand and smiled indifferently, trying to reconcile the tense atmosphere.
"It's out of the way, Huai Yu is already half better, and he can go out with me to help the victims now!"
Recently, the two of them have not been idle in the prince's mansion, there are always many people who come here, and there are some men who come to show their loyalty, they ask to join the dragon organization and swear to protect the Ouyang family to the death.
In order to deal with these trivial matters, Ouyang Huaiyu spent a lot of energy, and the speed of his body's recovery also decreased. But everything has rained and sunny, and everyone has lived a stable and beautiful life, which also shows that everything that has been done before is worth it.
"It's okay, get up, you will have to worry a lot in the future, the Ouyang family can't live without the two of you."
Ouyang Huaiyu waved his hand to get him up with a smile, and also instructed the housekeeper to make a table of sumptuous meals, intending to get drunk with the two of them.
The palace suddenly became lively, with the smoke and fire of the past, and the butlers and servants were still smiling with excitement when they came in and out, they had not felt such a joyful atmosphere for a long time.
