The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn red apricot vegetarian girl!
For this niece's thoughts, Ling's mother could also see a little, but she couldn't refuse Ling Kite's request, after all, it was a big matter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and if something went wrong, it was not something that a woman like her could afford.
Previously, the Auxiliary Marquis was cut off by His Majesty, and the Huns outside the pass were very happy, gathered all the men and horses, transferred troops and sent generals, and they were eager to break through the Yumen Pass immediately.
Thinking of the scene of the border city's complaints, Ling's mother couldn't help but shudder, she firmly grabbed Ling Yuan's thin wrist, turned around and turned back to the Chu family.
The guards guarding the door knew Ling's mother, but when they saw that the distinguished guests had brought people over, they didn't dare to invite them in rashly, but walked quickly to the guest room to report.
At this juncture, Ling Yuan was extremely worried, she reached out and touched the hat on her head, and tightly pinched the secret letter hidden in her sleeve, for fear that Zhao Lei would send someone to chase after her.
Time passed slowly, and the woman's emotions became more and more anxious, and she finally looked forward to the guards back. When she was taken to the small courtyard, Ling Yuan almost burst into tears, God knows how scared she was, what she said just now was true, if Zhao Lei found out her whereabouts, this life would definitely not be saved.
Chu Qinghe and his wife were resting in the guest room, as soon as Ling Yuanfu pushed the door open, she smelled the fishy and bitter smell of medicine, she looked at it and found a woman with a straight belly sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and her smile was bright, who else could there be if it wasn't Xue Su?
There was a little jealousy in her heart, but she has experienced a lot of ups and downs recently, and her city is much deeper than at the beginning.
"Iris-Niang has seen Master Hou and Mrs. Hou."
Xue Su glanced at the woman's pale face and the blood marks on her palm, then looked away and nodded at Ling Mu.
"Su Niang, my niece has something to explain to the two of you, if what she said is true, please place someone in a secret place and not be discovered by Zhao Lei, otherwise she will be in danger."
Ling's mother was kind-hearted, seeing that Ling Yuan was so young, even if she did something wrong, she hoped to get a chance to mend her ways, so she said a few more words.
Although Xue Su didn't know the purpose of Ling Yuan's visit, she didn't take this woman in her eyes, and when the scourge of the Huns was solved, she and Chu Qinghe would return to the capital, maybe they wouldn't come to the border for ten or eight years, so why bother so much?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never treat the kite."
Hearing this, Ling Mu breathed a sigh of relief, she was a smart person, she knew that she shouldn't listen to the next thing, so she simply said goodbye and left.
After the wooden door of the guest room was closed, Ling Yuan took out the secret letter from his sleeve, sent it to the bedside, and told the original story of what had happened before:
"Lord Hou always thought that he was murdered by the five princes, but in fact, the real murderer is someone else, Zhao Lei was bought by the Hun leader Balu, when he noticed the dissatisfaction of the five princes with you, he pushed the boat down the river and hid a needle in the saddle, which are clearly written in the letter, you can see it at a glance."
Xue Su put these words in his ears, and his thin eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
She remembered Chu Qinghe's initial appearance of being blind and lame, even if his martial arts foundation was good, he was still subjected to countless white eyes and ridicule, those days were almost the most difficult time for them, she thought that she had found the real culprit, but she never thought that there would be fish that slipped through the net.
Feeling that the people around him couldn't stop trembling, Chu Qinghe's Adam's apple slid for a moment, he quickly read the content of the letter, and his eagle eyes were surging with murderous intent, and said:
"The letter is true, I will send someone to send you away, and when the traitors in the army are removed, it is up to you whether you will come back or not."
After receiving the assurance of the Auxiliary Marquis, Ling Yuanti was so happy that he bent down and thanked him one after another. At this moment, her disgust for this couple in her heart has been reduced a lot, and she even added a trace of gratitude, she has been blocking Xue Su a month ago, and even done many wrong things, at this moment they ignore their past suspicions, help each other, and their minds are indeed much broader than her.
Chu Qinghe clapped his hands, and a guard walked into the room, and he ordered: "Send Ling Yuan out of the city to settle down, and you are responsible for her safety." ”
The guards clenched their fists in agreement.
Xue Su twisted the Buddha beads hanging on his wrist and whispered, "Remember to take some silver from Qiu Ju before leaving, don't treat the guests harshly." ”
After speaking, Xue Su waved his hand, and his gaze fell on Chu Qinghe.
Ling Yuan glanced at the woman with a complicated expression, she bit her lip hard, and left the room after the guard.
"How is Master Hou going to deal with Zhao Lei? If I don't let him pay the price, I am really unwilling. ”
Xue Su prides herself on not being the kind of small-bellied chicken intestine and calculating, but what Zhao Lei did really touched her bottom line, and that person almost killed Chu Qinghe! If such a great revenge is not avenged, how can she be a human being?
Catching a glimpse of the little wife's flushed cheeks, the man couldn't help but feel a little distressed, leaned forward, held the person firmly in his arms, and gently bit the soft white and delicate ear.
"What does Su Niang want to do with him?"
There was hatred in his apricot eyes, and Xue Su gritted his teeth, "The sage once said that repaying grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" It's too cheap to kill him, if you want to collect debts completely, you must treat him in the same way, didn't Zhao Lei put a needle in the saddle? It also gave him a taste of blindness, so that he could realize his mistakes and sincerely repent. ”
As he spoke, Xue Su kept staring at Chu Qinghe, carefully observing his expression.
She knew that her thoughts were ruthless, and what if this person was disgusted and thought she was a poisonous woman?
There were mixed thoughts in her heart, Xue Su didn't know it herself, her face was full of apprehension, that appearance was both pitiful and cute, Chu Qinghe only felt a burst of warmth cross his heart, the little wife cared about him so much, he was too late to be happy, how could he be disgusted? How can you be wary?
"Okay, just do what Su Niang said."
He replied happily.

Zhao Lei sent his aunt back to the room, and the two of them kept warm for a while, because Chen Rui was pregnant, the fetal elephant was not stable, and he didn't have Dunlun, so he got up and went to the study after staying for a while.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, Zhao Lei sighed in his heart, and suddenly noticed something unusual.
He swallowed his saliva and hurried to the table, rubbing the wooden box hidden underneath. When his fingertips touched the hard object, Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief, he put the wooden box on the table, carefully opened the lid of the box, and saw the empty box, the man's face was like earth, so he didn't vomit blood.
Who is it? Who took MeSign away?
Ling Yuan's face appeared in his mind, Zhao Lei gritted his teeth, his eyes were split, and he took a few breaths, he hurriedly ran to the courtyard and commanded the guards:
"Go and bring Madame here, go quickly!"
The guard was a little puzzled, but he would not disobey the master's orders, so he quickly went to the backyard and looked carefully, but he didn't find the lady.
Zhao Lei circled back and forth in the study, and when he saw the guards who went and returned, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he pressed the guard's shoulders with both hands, shaking desperately:
"What about people?"
"Back to the general's words, Mrs. is not in the house, I heard the little guy who guards the door, there is a woman wearing dark clothes and a hat at noon and leaving the house, presumably it is Mrs. ......"
Zhao Lei didn't expect Ling Yuan to have such courage, secretly took the secret letter from the study, and left the Zhao Mansion in disguise......
"Send someone to look for him in the city, and whoever finds his wife first will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!"
Five hundred taels of silver is a lot, the border city is not as rich as the capital, the reason why ordinary soldiers join the army is to eat, if they can get this rich reward, they can buy a large area of fertile land in the suburbs, for farming.
The guards were very excited, and responded urgently, and then quickly found someone to search for Ling Kite's traces.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
Zhao Lei is well aware of this truth, he thought that he had taken out the reward, even if Ling Yuan had a thousand skills, as long as she was still in the border city, she would not be able to escape his control, how could he have thought that after looking for a whole day, he didn't even have any news.
The man's mouth was full of bubbles in a hurry, and he didn't care about anything else, so he personally rode a horse to search the city.
After walking for a while, the horse under him became more and more restless, sometimes raising his hooves high, sometimes making a painful snort, and almost didn't throw Zhao Lei off.
Didn't find Ling Kite, Zhao Lei's heart was already on fire, he moved the real fire at the moment, holding a long whip with barbs, and whipped it on the horse, the horse neighed, and kept galloping, extremely fast, the man was frightened, and he tightened the reins hard, but with little effect.
Only then did he know that he was afraid, and he couldn't stop muttering: "Stop! Stop! ”
The livestock couldn't understand human language, and was tormented by bursts of stinging pain, completely out of the control of the owner, desperately rushed forward, the speed was amazing, it didn't take long to throw Zhao Lei to the ground, the horse's hooves were raised high, and coincidentally stepped on the person's right leg, making him break a big drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't stop wailing.
When the surrounding people saw this scene, their hearts were beating wildly.
The city has long set a rule, whether it is ordinary people or officials, they are not allowed to set horses, Zhao Lei, as a deputy general, does not abide by military discipline, does not obey the law, and almost harms the lives of others, how can such a bastard be worthy of being a deputy general? It's not much worse than the bandits in prison.
At this moment, Zhao Lei didn't care about the fingers of others at all, when he fell off the horse, not only was his right leg trampled off by the beast, but the back of his head also hit the ground, his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Zhao Lei screamed in horror, a burst of despair welled up in his heart, now he couldn't take care of Ling Yuan anymore, he just hoped that someone would send him to the hospital for treatment. But it's a pity that he was angry just now, not only did no one help him at this time, but there were many people who scolded him, and these people watched Zhao Lei lying on the ground in embarrassment, slowly crawling forward.
