The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Just now, a beggar came out from nowhere and bumped into Qingmei. Qingmei looked back at the beggar and didn't take him seriously.

I guess the purse was stolen at that time.

After sending two guards to bring the man back, Hua Wu Ke returned to the carriage to rest.

After a while, the guard came back with the beggar.

He drew aside the curtain of the small window on the carriage and looked at the beggar in front of him who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

His face was dark but spotless, and his clothes were torn but not very dirty.

He was not as skinny as other beggars on the street, and could even be said to be strong and healthy.

No matter how you look at this man, he doesn't look like a beggar, nor does he look like a thief with shifty eyes.

Hua Wu Ke did not ask him why he stole the money, but asked about his identity: "What's your name?"

The beggar clasped his hands at his sides, lowered his head slightly and did not answer.

Seeing that this beggar was so ignorant, Qingmei was unhappy:

"Answer the young lady's questions carefully, or we will send you to the authorities immediately!"

When the beggar heard that he was going to be sent to the government, he reacted.

He raised his eyes to look at Hua Wu Ke and replied briefly with two words: "Lin Zhi."

This name surprised Hua Wu Ke a little.

In his previous life, the reason why Ye Chuji dared to attack the Hua family so quickly before getting rid of Ye Buhuo was because he recruited a military genius.

Just call me Lin Zhi.

After his father died, Lin Zhi was assigned to the Hua family army and took over his father's position.

Although his brother was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it. After all, the military power was already in Ye Chuji's hands.

Although Hua Wuke was in the harem, he always paid attention to the news of the Hua family army.

Knowing that although Lin Zhi was the prince's man, he never helped the tyrant to do evil, he disagreed when Ye Chuji wanted to change the name of the Hua Family Army.

It is said that the Hua family is full of loyal heroes, and suddenly changing the name will chill the hearts of soldiers all over the world.

He also never attacked the personal soldiers left by the Hua family, and even gave them important positions, leading the Hua family army to fight bravely and defend the country.

For this reason, although Ye Chuji needed him, he did not trust him and was reluctant to hand over the military command to him.

"Keep your head up."

The face in front of him was exactly the same as the General Lin in Hua Wu Ke's memory, except that he was younger and had no scars at the corners of his eyes.

But she didn't know that Lin Zhi had such an experience.

"Since you are healthy and have the ability to support yourself, why do you steal?"

Lin Zhi looked at Hua Wu Ke and knew that what he was doing was wrong. He looked a little embarrassed:

"My master died of illness and I had no money to bury him.

I didn't steal your money. I recognize the dark patterns on the soft armor your guards wear. You are from the Hua family.

I also left a token on your maid, and I will return it to you when I join the army and earn money."

Qingmei touched it carefully and found a small piece of leaf-shaped jade inside the belt.

I did hear in my previous life that General Lin was an orphan and had only one master who taught him martial arts.

He followed his master to punish evil and promote good, but their life was difficult. Even the money to bury his master was borrowed from his colleagues after he joined the army.

Hua Wu Ke had also seen a piece of jade worn by General Lin, which was exactly the same as the one in Qinglan's hand.

In his previous life, Hua Wu Ke did not leave the house on this day and did not meet Lin Zhi. In the end, Lin Zhi was won over by Ye Chuji.

Now that he has met him, he naturally does not want to see such a loyal and righteous man fall into Ye Chuji's camp.

"Since you are doing this out of filial piety, I will not argue with you about this matter. However, since you are interested in joining the army, I wonder if you are willing to join my Hua Family Army?"

The Hua family army and Prince An's Xuantie army are the most powerful armies in the Ye Kingdom, so Lin Zhi is of course willing.

As he said this, he was about to kneel down to thank Hua Wuke for his kindness.

Lin Zhi saved the Hua family army in his previous life. If it were someone else, I'm afraid that all the former members of the Hua family would have been massacred long ago.

Seeing Lin Zhi about to kneel down, she hurriedly wanted to reach out and help him up.

He forgot he was in a carriage and almost fell out when the carriage shook.

Fortunately, Qingmei acted quickly, steadying her, and signaled the guards to stop Lin Zhi from kneeling.

After taking some money and letting Lin Zhi go home to settle his master, Hua Wu Ke continued to head towards Prince An's Mansion.

Prince An's Palace is at the end of this street.

As the carriage was about to stop, the palace steward came forward to greet them:

"The prince said that the third young lady would come today, and she was guarding the door from time to time. Just now, she had to leave because of something, and told the old servant to wait here."

The housekeeper led Hua Wu Ke to the main hall: "Miss San, please wait a moment."

Hua Wu Ke placed one hand on the coffee table to support his cheek, and held a cup of tea in the other hand, looking at the scenery outside the door.

The layout of the prince's palace is similar to that of the general's palace, but it is larger and more magnificent.

There is a ginkgo tree planted in the courtyard opposite the main hall. It is autumn now, and yellow leaves fall from the tree like flying butterflies.

Watching the butterflies flying in the sky, Hua Wu Ke gradually became fascinated.

Ye Buhuo had already walked up to him but hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Looking at the dazed little girl in front of him, Ye Buhuo put one hand behind his back, bent down and pinched her chubby little face:

"Look stupid?"

When Hua Wu Ke came to his senses, he saw that the tips of their noses were less than a foot apart. He was still pinching his face.

I can't help but feel a little ashamed and angry: "Night! No! Confusion!"

Ye Buhuo stood up and looked at Hua Wuke, raising his eyebrows:

"So we still know each other. I thought you had forgotten me after just one night of not seeing each other."

"I came here today for something important."

Hua Wu Ke made up a dream about the second branch stealing his grandfather's battle map.

He said that he dreamed that thieves broke into his house and everyone in the Hua family, except the second wife, was killed.

He also said that he met an old Taoist priest on the way here.

The old Taoist priest was acting crazy and kept muttering to himself that you can't guard against a thief day and night, as you can't guard against a thief in your own home.

"Your Majesty, ever since I had this dream, I have been feeling uneasy. Do you think anything will happen to my grandfather and the others?"

Ye Buhuo sat on the other side of the coffee table, reached out and touched Hua Wuke's head, and comforted him:

"The northern kingdom has not received enough food this year. They will not attack without military rations.

And I will go to the border to join the Hua family army soon, and I will naturally remind the old general at that time, so don't worry."

The matter of his grandfather in the previous life also involved Ye Buhuo.

Fearing that Ye Buhuo would be splashed with water like in his previous life, Hua Wu Ke gently reminded him:

"Since Grandfather and the prince are in the same camp, they might attack the prince. The prince should be more careful."

The long-lost concern made Ye Buhuo feel warm in his heart.

Looking at the person in front of him who was worried about him, he said lovingly:

"Don't worry Sui Sui, your grandfather and I will be fine."

After finishing the business, the two fell into a brief silence.

Hua Wu Ke really wanted to speak up, but because he hadn't been in contact with Ye Buhuo for a long time, he didn't know what to say.

It was Ye Buhuo who broke the awkwardness.

"Last night you said Hua Jingqian secretly followed the prince. This means Hua Jingqian is standing on the opposite side of General Hua and General Hua.

In that case, did they bully you?"

After a pause, he added:

"Besides the things that alienated you and me, have Hua Jingqian and the others done anything to wrong you?"

My grandfather and father don’t know my second uncle’s true identity yet. Even if I tell them, they won’t believe it easily.

After all, he was their son and brother. The only person who would believe in him unconditionally was Ye Buhuo.

Hua Wu Ke thought about it and told him what happened after he woke up.
