Chapter 114: The Past

Updated: 2013-08-14

The four treasures suddenly gathered at home, and in the originally ordinary courtyard, in Lin Daimo's eyes, it suddenly became blurry, he had experienced wealth and hardship, and he had seen a lot, but when the pie hit his head, he was still inevitably dizzy.

"General Huo, since you are so familiar with these four treasures, you must have come prepared, there is some inconvenience here, let's take a step to speak," Lin Daimo respectfully invited Huo Qing to the hall to sit firmly, and then went out of the 'door' to tell Lu Mengjian, turned around and entered, and closed the 'door' of the room.

Lin Daimo and Huo Qing chatted in the room for nearly three or four hours, and they didn't even eat lunch, and they kept chatting in the room.

Li Ran and two of his subordinates guarded the 'gate' and did not allow anyone to approach. Lu Mengjian had only seen the general's demeanor on TV, but when he came into close contact, he found that the fierce aura emanating from the other party was unapproachable.

"This big brother soldier, they have been in the room for so long, if they don't eat something, they are afraid that they will starve the general!" After the afternoon, Liu's mother carried the food box several times and wanted to enter the 'door' to deliver food, but was directly stopped by Li Ran, they didn't eat, but even the people in the courtyard didn't dare to eat.

The soldiers at the entrance of the 'gate' stood in place, motionless like sculptures, and didn't even dare to drink a sip of water, Lu Mengjian was horrified in his heart, with such strict military regulations, if these 'elite' soldiers go to the battlefield, unless the other party is 'fine', it is really difficult to lose.

After half a day of investigation, Li Ran obviously had all the information about the two dead soldiers in the courtyard, but unfortunately he couldn't find any clues about the conspirators from these two people, and after these two people were captured, they saw that they were unable to flee and cut off their lives.

But the Huo Jiajun led by Deputy General Huo Qing rushed to Pulan City all the time since he received the general's order, only last night he rested outside the city for a night, but there was such a mistake, and the leak was also from the hands of the Huo Jiajun, the reason during this period, Li Ran thought for a long time, after all, he just sighed secretly and stood quietly at the 'door' of the hall.

Just when Lu Mengjian was standing with his legs weak, Huo Qing finally pursed his lips and opened the door of the room, followed by Lin Daimo, his face was extremely pale, and even his steps were a little weak.

Huo Qing turned his head violently and his sword-like eyes 'shot' at Lin Daimo, "Lin Gongzi, you are still Lin Gongzi, Huo respects your wishes, but this matter is very important, and I hope that Lin Gongzi can think carefully and make a decision before it is too late." Huo led the soldiers to wait outside the city for three days, if Lin Gongzi thought clearly, please be sure to send someone to inform. ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the general," Lin Daimo squeezed out a smile and finished with all his might, his lips gradually oozing blood from his teeth. Huo Qing saw it, a look of contempt appeared in his eyes, but then he was carefully hidden, what he found was such a cowardly person, it was really disappointing!

The corpses in the courtyard had already been carried aside and carefully rolled up with a mat, Huo Qing's eyes swept over the remaining bloodstains, Li Ran immediately bowed forward in understanding, "My lord, the identities of those two people have been ascertained, these two people were still in our camp last night, and when they '' this morning, they disappeared, I didn't expect to arrive before us." ”

Huo Qing was rejected by Lin Daimo just now, and at this moment he was angry, and when he heard that the two people who attacked Lin Mansion at night were actually from his own subordinates, he was even more angry, "Heh, I didn't expect these people to dare to do it under the nose of this general, since this is the case, then don't blame this general for being ruthless!" ”

"Take the corpse and go back to the camp!" Huo Qing shook off his shirt vigorously, and strode out of the 'door' without looking back.

Li Ran followed resignedly, and before leaving, he turned his head and whispered to Lin Daimo, "Childe, you have to think twice about everything!" We're just waiting for your good news......" With that, he dodged and chased him out.

In just a moment, the original neatly lined up team on the street has disappeared without a trace, and there are no people on the street, as if those people have not appeared today, and the appearance of Vice General Huo Qing is just a dream. Lu Mengjian 'rubbed' his eyes hard, looking into the distance in a daze, everything was like a dream, but the remaining blood stains on the ground kept warning him of the thrill last night.

"Hey, young master, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" Mother Liu exclaimed in surprise, and held Lin Daimo, who was shaky and 'wanting', only to see that Lin Daimo's face was already 'pale', covering his stomach and bending over and retching, but he didn't have time to eat two meals in breakfast and lunch, his stomach was empty, and he only spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water.

Fortunately, after the seventh uncle ran home, he had been worried about the safety of the Lin family, and when he saw the army evacuated, he immediately ran over to find out, and as soon as he entered the 'door', he saw Lin Daimo's expression in pain, and he hurriedly helped him to the 'bed', and then wiped a handful of sweat, "Hurry up and make a bowl of scarce millet porridge, this person, where can you do without eating, the iron body has to rely on rice to support it!" ”

After hearing this, Mother Liu repeated Amitabha Buddha twice, and ran to the kitchen with small steps.

"Uncle Seven, although his body is weaker, he won't become like this without eating two meals, is the residual poison in his body attacking again?" Lu Mengjian has always known Lin Daimo's body, but no matter how bad it is, it won't become like this.

"The residual poison has actually been almost cleared, mainly because his physique is too weak, coupled with the rapid change in mood, which causes stomach cramps, as long as he slowly recuperates, it will be fine. Although some people say that their bodies seem to be extremely good, if they encounter great joy and sorrow, I am afraid that they are not as good as Lin Gongzi! ”

"Great joy and sorrow?" Lu Mengjian looked at Lin Daimo worriedly, since Huo Qing came to the house, she knew that something was wrong, but the two of them were always locked in the room talking, and others didn't know what was going on in the room, let alone what could make Lin Daimo's heart ache to the stomach.

"If there are some external injuries, the old man may be able to help, but if the heart is sick, the old man really can't do anything, you better slowly take care of his stomach first." After Li Laoqi finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Mengjian meaningfully, and walked out of the 'door' step by step with his hands behind his back.

Lin Daimo drank some warm sweet rice porridge, his expression had returned to normal, his eyes were empty and he looked at the white window, and he couldn't help but think of what Huo Qing said.

"When Madame gave birth to her son, the general was fighting on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, and he didn't expect that the second aunt would be so ruthless and would put her son to death. Madame was born poor and had no maiden family to rely on, so she had to think of sending Gongzi out first, and left these four tokens by Gongzi's side, just hoping to take Gongzi back to the mansion one day, but just a year later, when the general was about to return to Beijing, Madame ate something she shouldn't eat and vomited blood and died......"

Lin Daimo smiled bitterly, he ate something that shouldn't be eaten, the general's mansion has always had a big business, and there are naturally many places that can't be managed, but to be able to announce the death of the general's wife due to improper diet in such a grand manner, the people in the general's mansion are really bolder.

"The general and his wife have always been in love, and when they received the news of their wife's death halfway, they rushed all the way back to the general's mansion, but after all, they still couldn't see their wife for the last time. Since then, the general has never married a house, and he has not even taken a concubine for nearly twenty years, leaving only his second aunt to take care of him. The second aunt was as beautiful as a 'flower' when she was young, and she was the general's uncle and cousin, so her status in the house became worse day by day, and she even often regarded herself as a lady. ”

"It wasn't until later that a young man who used to take care of his wife risked his life to 'hand' over his wife's dying letters to the general." Huo Qing thought of the gentle appearance of his wife's eyebrows and eyes, and his heart seemed to contain Coptis chinensis, he would never have imagined that the distant glimpse outside the general's room before going out would be the last one!

At that time, Huo Qing was only in his early fifteens, and he was a man with strong blood, because of the relationship between his aunt and cousin, he accompanied the general, and his wife had only been in the mansion for a year. The general has been fighting horses all his life and has never been close to the 'woman' and 'sex', but since he met her, he has changed as if he was a different person.

The general married her through the 'door', the Huo family all objected, but the general was persistent, if she didn't marry, Huo Qing still remembered that he squeezed at the 'door' to peek at the bride, the red gauze hijab was lifted, and the whole room was instantly quiet, she was like a fairy 'girl' in the illusion, she lowered her head shyly, her eyebrows flowed, and she raised her eyes to meet the general's expression, Huo Qing's eyes were straight.

However, the Huo family is a big family in Beijing, and the general finally couldn't resist the strength of his family, so he bowed his head for the first time in desperation, and accepted the 'daughter' of his uncle's family as his second aunt.

Only two months after getting married, the general received the emperor's edict to go to northern Xinjiang to resist the barbarians, but this time it was nearly two years. In the beginning, the general could receive letters from his wife every month, and every time he received the letters, the general was so happy that he could not even fight the war with great strength, and the Lei army won the battle at that time.

In the third letter, Madame mentioned that she was pregnant, and the general ordered the whole army to rejoice, and that night the general drank so much wine, and he had never laughed so happily, not before, and never again.

Since then, Madame has never sent any more letters, only a few letters from the capital occasionally, all of which are insignificant, at least for the general, except for Madame. It was only after a few months that the letter mentioned the birth of his wife's son, but at that time the war was tight, and although the general was happy, he was still concerned about the war, so he did not write home.

Unfortunately, that was the last time the general received news about his wife.

That year, the barbarians had been dragging their feet and refused to send troops, but every time the general attacked the city, he was repeatedly unable to attack due to poor terrain, and this fight lasted for two years. At that time, Huo Qing had been following the general, and he watched as there were fewer and fewer soldiers in the barracks, and the general's brows became more and more wrinkled.
