Chapter Seventy-Five: The Last Relative
Henry also got the information, but he had been in Mushroom Ridge for too long, and he couldn't get the slightest emotion about this kind of thing.
Winston came to his side and said to him:
"I'm urging you to go back."
Henry, of course, knew which side Winston was talking about, and he frowned and asked:
"How long has it been since it came out? Why are they pushing so hard? ”。
Winston took a deep breath and said:
"They are also worried about your safety."
Henry sighed lightly, he looked at the starry lights below, his feelings were so complicated, if he could, he would rather live here for the rest of his life than go back to that ivory and gold silk cage.
"Okay, I'll leave in three days, and before that, I always have to say goodbye to Brother Xu and settle the property in my hand."
Thinking of Xu Kuang, Henry couldn't help but laugh again:
"The biggest gain this time is that I got to know Brother Xu, speaking of which, I also inherited Brother Xu's affection."
He had lived in Mushroom Ridge for several months, and he had received far more from Xu Kuang than he had given away.
……
Xu Kuang looked at Henry in amazement and asked:
"Why do you have to leave?".
Henry smiled bitterly:
"It's been too long to come out, and my family is not very reassured, so I was asked to go back.".
Xu Kuang was surprised, and he said to Henry:
"Since that's the case, I won't keep you, I'll prepare some small gifts, and you can take them back to your uncle and aunt."
"You don't have to break the bank......."
Xu Kuang smiled:
"This is something that juniors should do."
When Henry heard this, he smiled and accepted it.
Three days later, Xu Kuang specially set up time to see off Henry.
Xu Kuang sent Henry all the way to the Northwest Road, and the carriage and horses were suspended.
Henry smiled and said to Xu Kuang:
"My way is still far away, so Brother Xu doesn't have to send it,"
Arch smiled and said:
"Brother Henry, I hope that the next time we meet again, we will all have something to gain."
Henry also bowed his hand and said to Xu Kuang:
"I hope that the next time I come back, Brother Xu will no longer be partial to Mushroom Ridge."
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Borrow my brother's good words.".
Henry turned his horse forward, waved his whip with his back to Xu Kuang, and then quickly left.
Xu Kuang smiled and turned to leave.
……
When Forio received the news of the occupation of Bitter Melon Ridge, it was already noon the next day.
He sat down on the ground all at once, and the old butler tried to help him, but was grabbed by Frio.
Flioten jumped up from the ground, grabbed the old butler by the collar, and asked:
"You...... Are you Xu Kuang's spies! deliberately transferred my main force to leave, and said, how much benefit Xu Kuang has given you! ”。
The old butler's face was as dead as ashes, and he didn't explain, allowing Florio to tug at his collar.
Forio only thought that the old butler had acquiesced, and in anger, he drew the long sword at his waist and stabbed the old butler in the chest.
The old butler stared at Forio with a sad face, his body fell to the ground at once, his chest snorted like a bellows, the old butler's mouth kept choking blood, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
When Forio saw the old butler's appearance, he panicked at once, and he quickly knelt down in front of the old butler, and said to the old butler:
"I ...... I didn't mean to, doctor, where is the doctor! Someone is hurt! ”。
The old butler grabbed Frio's hand and shook his head with difficulty.
Frio looked at the old butler in amazement, and noticed that the old butler's lips were squirming, as if he wanted to say something.
Frio leaned down, only to hear the old butler say to him:
"Don't ...... Don't ...... anymore Follow ...... again Xu Kuang...... Got it right......".
Frio only felt that the force of his grip on his hand suddenly decreased, and he tried to grab the old butler's hand, but he did not grasp it.
The old butler's hand fell to the ground at once, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
Forio froze for a moment, he sat on the ground, not crying or laughing, just a little blank.
The old butler's son rushed in, and he looked at the scene before him and didn't know what to do.
There was another light in Frio's eyes, and he said to the old butler's son:
"From today onwards, you are the new steward......".
The old butler's son saw Frio's somewhat flattering eyes, and instantly understood what was going on.
He pushed away Frio's hand and said:
"No, can I leave with my father?".
Folio regained his splendor again, and he did not speak, but looked at the old butler.
And the old butler's son picked up the old butler, stood up straight, and said to Frio:
"Do you know what my father said to me the most?".
Folio still didn't react.
The old butler's son just said to Forio:
"He said that you should always remember your kindness, so if you kill him, I will not take revenge, and I will not continue to do things for you, if you want to kill me too, do it.".
Frio said to the old butler's son:
"You go.".
The old butler's son took the old butler out of the tent.
Frio was the only one left in the tent.
A moment later, heart-rending cries rang out from the tent. It seems that it was at this moment that Frio realized that he seemed to have lost his last loved one.
……
After a long time, Frio walked out of the tent, found some water, washed his face, and quickly slapped himself a few times to sober himself up.
He asked people to prepare horses, and he came to the town of Xiangcheng alone, where the gate was closed.
The commander of the defenders at the head of the city shouted:
"Stop!".
Frio submissively stopped.
"What for?".
Frio looked up, and the sun was shining on him and he couldn't help but squint. He squeezed out a smile and said to the commander of the defenders at the head of the city:
"My dear friend, the drill is over, let's discuss other matters."
When the commander of the garrison saw Frio, his brow furrowed, and he said to Frio:
"I don't have the right to call the shots, if you really want to defect to us, let your soldiers take off their armor and lose their weapons, and let our men go out to receive them, and I can write a letter to my lord and tell him what is going on, do you agree?".
Frio continued to laugh, a smile that looked a little flattering to the Commander of the Defenders:
"Of course, my dear friend."
After a while, someone came out in a car to receive weapons and armor.
On the other side, a fast horse also galloped towards White Birch City.
……
The defenders of the 1st Infantry Battalion were sweeping the streets when they found a man who looked a little innocent, walking over with a corpse covered in blood and already stiff.
The soldier subconsciously took out his weapon, but was stopped by the company commander on the side.
"Don't worry, if this person really has a problem, he would have been stopped by his comrades under the mountain a long time ago."
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief.
