Empress Chu

……

Ah Le ran back and forth a few times, filled the water urn at the post station with water, and went into the kitchen, only to see Ah Fu sitting in front of the stove, and the original fire in the stove was extinguished.

"Little, little sister." She asked nervously, "Are you all right? That Ah Jiu, what happened to him?"

Ah Fu came back to his senses and smiled at her: "He doesn't care about me, he just suspects us, but don't worry about it."

Ah Le breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't think it would be a big deal to reveal her identity. After reporting the general's name, these post soldiers would definitely respect them, and that Ah Jiu would definitely not dare to be smug.

But the young lady has been hiding her identity since she left Beijing, and I don't know why.

Of course she would not object if the lady wanted to do this, but she felt that the lady had suffered too much, she thought as she quickly ignited the extinguished fire.

"Yicheng has honey here, and I will cook it into sugar porridge for the miss later." She said cheerfully.

Ah Fu seemed to be still distracted, and asked, "What is Ah Jiu doing?"

Ah Le was stunned for a moment, and the lady asked Ah Jiu?

"I didn't see him when I went to the stream." She said, "I heard from Mr. Zhang that this Ah Jiu always likes to run around, either chasing rabbits or catching pheasants. He probably went to the mountains and forests to cause harm."

Ah Fu sighed, looking thoughtfully at Ah Le: "Ah Le, are you sure you can get something from him?"

Chapter 13 Stealing

Probably because of the frustration in the morning, Ah Fu didn't show up that day, and he was lying in the kitchen to rest. Ah Le was busier than when he was galloping.

Several pots of hot water were boiled, and Zhang Gu and others washed and soaked their feet. Although the post station did not have delicious food, wine and vegetables, the mountain products and wild game stocked by the old post station were also very tempting.

The stone table was full of large bowls and small pots. When the chopsticks were not enough, they used branches instead. The post soldiers and the old post officials sat around and ate happily.

"This is pancakes steamed with honey." Ah Le came over holding a basket, thought for a while, moved to Ah Jiu, put the basket down, and whispered, "Soft and sweet."

Zhang Gu laughed: "That's right, it's at Ah Jiu's place. We don't eat sweet or soft ones, but he likes them."

A Le blushed and hurried away.

Ah Jiu reached out and grabbed a piece of cake and ate it, curling her lips: "It's neither fragrant nor sweet."

The old Yi Cheng laughed: "This little brother is quite picky, it's his first time traveling far away."

"He is also picky at home." Zhang Gu said, looking at Ah Jiu again and joking, "Why is Ah Le so courteous to you? He has approached you many times this day, but he always walked around you before."

The postman next to him curled his lips: "Because he bullied Ah Fu again in the morning, Ah Le is trying to curry favor with him and hope he treats his sister better. Poor, Ah Fu dare not come out."

Zhang Gu raised his hand and gave Ah Jiu an elbow: "You brat!"

Ah Jiu sideways avoided him: "What, you guys are really thinking too much."

This Ah Le was indeed trying to curry favor with him, but it wasn't because he bullied her sister, and that Ah Fu didn't dare to come out because he was bullied, it was clearly exposed by him and hid.

A maidservant is supposed to serve others, so she came to be courteous.

Several people were chatting and laughing, and Ale came again with the jar.

"The wild vegetable soup is also ready." She said, and she wanted to pour it for everyone, and the first one was for Ale.

But probably because it was too hot, her hand slipped, and the wild vegetable soup spilled out.

Ah Jiu evaded wittily, but was still poured on his arm. He called out, "You did it on purpose!"

The post soldiers next to him didn't panic, they all laughed.

"Ale has been busy all this time, so it's inevitable that you'll be tired. Don't be so stingy." Zhang Gu persuaded him even more seriously.

In fact, everyone also felt that Ah Le did it on purpose, but no one would expose it, who let Ah Jiu bully his sister.

Ah Le wiped Ah Jiu in a panic, as if he was about to cry from fright: "I washed the clothes for Jun Ye."

Ah Jiu shook her off: "Don't move my body and clothes."

Ale stood there at a loss.

"It's okay, Le." Zhang Gu smiled, looking at Ah Jiu's arm, "I just sprinkled it a few times, what are you fussing about, stop making trouble, and eat quickly."

Ah Jiu snorted and rolled up her sleeves, pointing at Ah Le: "Stay away from me."

A Le bowed his head and hurriedly backed away.

Zhang Gu asked Ale to eat: "We don't need you to serve us."

Al then left.

The post soldiers continued to laugh, Ah Jiu's bad luck became everyone's joy.

……

……

In the kitchen, Ah Le handed a letter to Ah Fu.

"Is this it?" she asked in a low voice.

Ah Fu sat up on the straw mat, reached out to take it, and nodded when he saw the words "Chu Ling Mi Qi" on the envelope.

Ah Le was also curious when he saw it, it turned out to be a letter to the general, who is this Ah Jiu?

Was it from the imperial court to the general, or did he deliver the letter for someone else?

"It's such a coincidence." She was a little happy again, "I was met by Miss."

Yes, what a coincidence, Ah Fu held the letter with a serious expression on his face. She had already inquired about it. This group of post soldiers went to Yunzhong County to deliver the approved military household register. They had nothing to do with their father, and they did not go to Luocheng where his father was stationed. .

Why does Ah Jiu carry a secret letter to his father?

Why would someone in the capital write a secret letter to his father?

Father is such a general Wei that everyone avoids and has no future.

Her heart was pounding, and she thought of the words she heard before she died. The father described in those words was strange and unbelievable to her.

Could it be that those things were true, that father really wasn't as ordinary and incompetent as he seemed?

Who the hell is this Ah Jiu?

Zhang Gu said that he was punished to be a post soldier.

too weird.

She must read what was written in this letter, especially since the court will suddenly change and fall into chaos. This time, neither she nor her father can be involved in it.

Ah Fu gently opened the envelope, pulled out a piece of letter paper, took a deep breath, and opened it. The next moment, his eyes widened and he suffocated for a moment.

There are only two words on the letter paper.

Ha ha.

……

……

The letter paper and the envelope were thrown into the stove by Ah Fu, and instantly turned into ashes.

"What, what should I do?" Ale's voice was a little nervous, "He found out?"

So a fake letter was used against her?

She seldom missed. In the capital, she turned the old man's house upside down and pretended to take away so much money and jewelry, but the whole family didn't find it.

The last time I missed was caught by the general, this is the second time.

When Ah Fu saw those two words, he almost jumped up, but after taking a deep breath and burning the envelope and letter paper, he calmed down again.

"I don't admit it." She said, looking at the letter that had been reduced to ashes in the stove, "If I didn't catch you on the spot, it wouldn't be you."

Without evidence, I will not admit it.

"If he makes a fuss, we can just cry." Ah Fu looked at the stove fire, and the flames danced in the girl's dark eyes. "Anyway, everyone knows that he bullied us all the time."

Ale nodded, not afraid anymore, actually came to his senses and thought, this is a letter to the general, so what if the lady read it?The general won't care if he knows.

They didn't find Ah Jiu carrying the letter, and they were still a little afraid of him, but now that they found out, they were full of confidence and were not afraid at all.

She even wanted to expose the young lady's identity, these postmen would respectfully send the young lady back to the general.

Ah Fu knew Ah Le's doubts and thoughts, but Ah Le and most of the others did not know that it was her father who really refused to let her go back.

In order to ensure that he can live a stable life at home, his father also promised benefits to his uncle.

Uncle is selfish and greedy, and will never let her go back, lest he ruin his long-awaited future.

There are pursuers in the back, and in the front, if her father knows the news, she will send someone to stop her, so this time, she has to hide her name to have a chance to return to her father.

She has a lot to say to her father, and she also has a lot to ask her father. The most important thing is that she can't be in the capital, where is the beginning of her bad luck.

Ah Fu lowered his gaze and threw a firewood into the stove.

Chapter 14 Waiting

Although they were not afraid, the two of them were always worried and prepared to deal with it, but Ah Jiu didn't make a fuss, and kept eating and drinking. At night, Ah Le tentatively moved over to bring him footwashing water. Le approached him and said that he only had two clothes, and if he got wet again, he could only be naked.

A Le blushed and ran away, and the post soldiers laughed and scolded him.

Afu Ale didn't sleep well all night, but nothing happened all night.

After waking up the next day, people and horses had enough rest for two days, bid farewell to the enthusiastic old Yicheng, and the group started galloping again.

I don’t know if it’s because my body is getting used to it, or if it’s getting farther and farther away from the capital, and getting closer to my father. The bitter cold wind blows, and I don't feel the bitter cold, but the joy I haven't had in a long time.

After she came to Beijing in that life, in order to be a dignified noble lady, she stopped riding horses, stopped practicing swords and guns, and after she got married, she devoted herself to studying the way of serving her husband. So much so that she could fall down and slippery when pushed, and finally was forced to drink poisoned wine and strangled to death with white silk. She didn't even have the strength to resist.

When he was reborn and woke up, his tired body was weakened, and he almost couldn't get over the wall of the Chu family.

The wanton riding and galloping, the strength of the body, it feels really good.

In this life, no one can strangle her again, she will strangle them first!

Ah Fu raised his whip, and shouted the order of the royal horse, with a crisp voice.

Zhang Gu and the others in front of them turned their heads to look over. The two sisters were reticent. Although the younger sister A Fu talked more, it was the first time I saw her shouting like this.

After all, it is a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

"Ah Fu, your riding skills are really good." A postman said with a smile, "Come and compare with me."

Others booed, "How old are you?" "Not ashamed."

Ah Fu didn't speak, he raised his whip and urged the horse, and he caught up with him, and the post soldiers applauded immediately.

The emptiness of the wilderness in winter suddenly becomes noisy.

Seeing Ah Fu passing by, Ah Jiu, who had always been the leader, pouted.

"Oh, I've surpassed you." Zhang Gu laughed.

"How is that possible!" Ah Jiu said, as soon as the boy urged the horse, the horse rushed out like lightning, not only passed Ah Fu, but almost knocked the girl off the horse——

Zhang Gu scolded angrily from behind: "What are you arguing with a girl's family!"

People don't really think that he will be compared.

This bastard!

Compared with Ah Fu before, the postman who deliberately lagged one step behind encouraged Ah Fu: "Go, compare with him, and piss him off."

Ah Fu glanced at the young Ah Jiu who was having fun in the wilderness, smiled, and shook his head: "I can't compare to him."

This Ah Jiu, I don't know if it's presumptuousness in his bones, or it's just pretending, it's unpredictable.

It looked as if he really hadn't doubted the letter.

"I don't think he wrote that hehe." Ah Fu whispered to Ah Le, "Since it is a secret letter, there should be many fake letters. The one you stole is a fake."

Ale guessed: "So he has hidden a lot of these on his body, and he doesn't care if one is missing."

Although, it's a bit unreasonable, but that's the only way to go. Anyway, Ah Jiu didn't come to ask, so she pretended not to have such a thing. What Ah Fu was even more curious about was who gave the secret letter to his father.

Now I feel that anyone is possible, but no one is incredible.

Maybe it was that person.

Ah Fu looked at the figure of the young Ah Jiu running away in the wilderness, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Don't be angry." Ale saw it, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "I'll try again and see if I can get it."
