[13] A sense of foreboding
[13] A sense of foreboding
It has been a month since the last time the two met, and the time has also moved from winter to early spring, Duanmu Quinoa has not seen Bai Qingmeng again in this month, because she feels that her heart is very complicated at this moment.
It is precisely because he knows himself too well that Duanmu Quinoa has never hidden from anyone who he likes women in his previous life, and now his feelings for Bai Qingmeng are the same feeling that he liked his head in his previous life.
However, Duanmu Quinoa watched his eldest brother get up early and be greedy all day long, constantly busy with official business, and it was already late at night when he even went home.
In the previous life, Duanmu Quinoa had no relatives, and he had never experienced the feeling of being loved and cared for by his relatives, but this eldest brother in this life really loved himself, so Duanmu Quinoa endured it for a month and did not go to inquire about Bai Qingmeng's news.
Duanmu Quinoa deliberately got up before her brother got up today, and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of barley porridge for him, but when she knocked on Duanmu Yu's door, she was told that Duanmu Yu had entered the palace last night and had not returned.
Duanmu Quinoa immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he immediately went to find Mrs. Duanmu, and as soon as he saw Mrs. Duanmu, Duanmu Quinoa immediately asked: Mother, but what happened? Why aren't my father and brother in the house?
Mrs. Duanmu also stayed awake all night, looking at Duanmu Quinoa with red eyes: I don't know much about my mother, someone came to the palace last night, and I only said that the border war was urgent, so that your father and your brother entered the palace overnight to discuss, and they haven't come back yet......
Speaking of this, Mrs. Duanmu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and of course Duanmu knew what it meant.
My father and brother are both officials in the court, and they are both military generals, my father is the first military general of Daxingguo, and my brother is the successor, so the border war is urgent, which means that one of my father and my brother has to lead the army.
To tell the truth, the emperor of the dynasty is not extravagant, but he also can't afford the title of Ming Jun, a country is only supported by some old ministers, which is also a blessing in the misfortune of Daxingguo.
Unfortunately, the Daxing Empire has no Ming Jun, but fortunately, it has its own father and brother to suppress it externally, and there is a birch governance internally, so the Daxing Empire can maintain the prosperity of the first emperor when he was alive.
Now that the war is urgent, this is another difficult and bumpy road for the Daxing Empire.
While comforting his mother, Duanmu Quinoa hoped that his father and brother would come back soon to report safety!
Sure enough, at noon, Duanmu Jingting and Duanmu Yu came back, and Duanmu Quinoa hurriedly stepped forward and asked: Daddy, how is it?
Duanmu Jingting sat on the chair, and put down the tea again: Madam, Yu'er and I will lead the troops to the expedition tomorrow, and you two will take care of our luggage for us!
Mrs. Duanmu still shed tears when she heard this: she is old, and she still can't escape this fate after all! Didn't the emperor promise not to let Yu'er go on the expedition again?
Duanmu Jingting became angry when he mentioned this, and the cup in his hand fell on the table: Hmph, Bai Hua, that old dog, the emperor didn't let Yu'er go on the expedition, he wanted to do his best to admonish, so Yu'er ...... Ay!
Duanmu Quinoa heard it: So, my brother was forced to go on the expedition, and it was all caused by the white birch?
Duanmu Yu grabbed Duanmu Quinoa: Quinoa, as a general of the Daxing Empire, it is the duty of my brother to serve the motherland, and this is also my brother's mission, so don't worry, I believe that my brother can return safely, okay?
Duanmu Quinoa also wet his eyes at this moment: Brother, you have to write to me from time to time, do you know?
Duanmu Yu pinched Duanmu Quinoa's nose as usual: I know, don't cry, it's not good to cry......
Duanmu Yu didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said Duanmu Quinoa's tears flowed down: You, you must come back well, and you are not allowed to lose a hair, do you know?
A big man in Duanmu Yu also wet his eyes at this time, and hugged Duanmu Quinoa: Don't worry, your brother is a brave general!
Duanmu Quinoa felt that today's time passed very quickly, and it was night in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Quinoa quietly got up, left the General's Mansion, came to Bai Mansion, jumped into Bai Qingmeng's backyard with a light leap, and then sneaked to Bai Qingmeng's room.
Jumped in lightly from the window of Bai Qingmeng's room, but still woke up Bai Qingmeng, Bai Qingmeng opened his eyes and wanted to get up: Who?
Duanmu Quinoa hurriedly flipped to Bai Qingmeng's bedside and covered her mouth: Shh~ It's me......
Bai Qingmeng's hanging heart immediately fell: What are you doing in my room?
Duanmu Quinoa sat casually on the ground at the head of Bai Qingmeng's bed, with his back to Bai Qingmeng: My brother is going to go on the expedition tomorrow......
Bai Qingmeng frowned, but Duanmu Quinoa couldn't see it: So what?
Duanmu Quinoa turned around and looked at Bai Qingmeng through the moonlight: He has affection for you, even if you have no intention of him, please send him off, okay?
Bai Qing dreamed about it but refused: I'm sorry, I can't go!
Duanmu Quinoa's tears had already flowed out at this time, but because it was carrying the light behind him, Bai Qingmeng couldn't see it, but he could hear Duanmu Quinoa's slight sobbing.
Bai Qingmeng was surprised that Duanmu Quinoa, a person who seemed to be extremely strong, would actually shed tears in front of him.
Bai Qingmeng reached out and took the jade flute that she played for Duanmu Quinoa at the banquet last time, and handed it to her: Tell your brother, I pray for him as a friend, and ask him to return safely...... I know what my father highly recommends, if he can return safely, I guarantee that the Bai family will no longer be enemies of the Duanmu family in the future!
Duanmu Quinoa looked at Bai Qingmeng gratefully, nodded, and thought that it was because there was no light at night, so he said in a thick nasal voice: Thank you, Bai Qingmeng!
Bai Qingmeng stretched out her hand and gently wiped away Duanmu Quinoa's tears: Don't cry, it'll be fine!
Duanmu Quinoa's body immediately stiffened the moment Bai Qingmeng's hand touched him, and then he turned his face away in embarrassment: I have to go, thank you......
Bai Qingmeng shook his head: No thanks, just call me Qingmeng!
Duanmu Quinoa also nodded, got up and opened the window, and jumped out! Then he turned around and said to Bai Qingmeng: Excuse me, good night, good dreams!
After finishing speaking, he gently closed the window and left, listening to the footsteps of Duanmu Quinoa's departure, Bai Qingmeng looked at the hand that had wiped Duanmu Quinoa's tears before, held it gently, and put it in his heart: Ah Quinoa, if you knew that the person in my heart was you, would you still be so kind of a match for your brother?
