The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Seeing that Guixiang's mouth could no longer be pried open, Sun Ruhui finally felt relieved.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking secretly.

Hua Wu Ke actually killed her most capable person. She will take note of this!

"Since the main culprit is dead, you can deal with the remaining murderers as you wish. I am tired and need to rest. Let's go back now."

Guixiang is dead, so it's useless even if Zhao Lin insists that it's Sun Ruhui. After all, Sun Ruhui has never shown up, and the old lady is relieved.

As long as this matter does not involve his daughter-in-law, the head of the family can naturally get away with it.

After the old lady left, Sun Ruhui also left.

Before leaving, he glared at Hua Wu Ke without any hesitation and said, "Sooner or later, I will get rid of you, you little bitch!"

"Miss, how should we deal with these bandits?" Mo Shan asked.

"Send it to the government."

We cannot bring Sun Ruhui down, and there is no point in keeping these people. We can only wait for Sun Ruhui to show her true colors next time.

Having lost the great help of Nanny Guixiang, Sun Ruhui had no choice but to calm down even though she felt resentful.

As a result, the second wife stopped causing trouble, and Hua Wu Ke spent several days in peace.

I got up early in the morning, washed up, sat in the courtyard, enjoyed cakes, and closed my eyes comfortably.

"Miss, Lin Zhi is here." Qingmei leaned close to her ear and said.

That arrives so fast?

"Let him in."

In the main hall of the big house.

"Miss, my master's funeral has been handled properly."

Lin Zhi stood in the middle of the main hall and said respectfully.

"Father and his men will not return to Beijing until next year. You don't have to rush to join the army now. You can mourn for your master first."

Because the country was experiencing war and needed soldiers all the time, there was no explicit rule requiring mourning.

But seeing the deep affection between Lin Zhi and his master, he must have wanted to observe mourning for his master.

Unexpectedly, he refused:

"I have traveled the world with my master and have never cared about these red tapes. Now the world is in turmoil and many places are suffering.

Lin Zhi just wanted to join the army as soon as possible to save the people from danger.

Even if you can't follow General Hua to the border now, you should train with the Hua family army as soon as possible."

Hua Wu Ke nodded, respecting his idea.

As long as you have loyalty to your master in your heart, that is enough.

Hua Wu Ke brought Lin Zhi to the Hua family military camp again.

As soon as they entered the military camp, Hua Wu Ke brought Lin Zhi to Hua Liu:

"Sixth brother, I'm here to introduce someone to you."

Looking at the boy of about sixteen or seventeen in front of her, Hua Liu didn't know where the young lady knew this person.

Fearing that the young lady would be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, he interrogated her:

"How old are you? What does your family do? How did you get to know the lady?"

Lin Zhi introduced his age, name, and where he studied under.

When talking about the theft on the street, although his face was red with shame, his words were frank and he did not have the despicable attitude of a criminal.

"Your master is Lin Fenggu?"

"Do you know my master?"

There is a small border town in the Kingdom of Ye. Because it is located at the border of two countries, it has been in the midst of war for many years and the people are living in misery.

Because of the war, many people were displaced and eventually became bandits, often coming down the mountains to burn, kill and loot.

Hua Liu once stayed there with the general.

On the way to suppress bandits, he met a righteous man named Lin Fenggu who was not interested in money but was dedicated to maintaining world peace.

"You were the little kid who followed Brother Lin back then? You're already this big, why did you come to join the army alone? Where is your master?"

Lin Fenggu offended many people because of his efforts to fight violence and uphold justice.

While traveling, he was stabbed in the vitals by an assassin sent by his enemies. Although he finally escaped to the capital, he died a few days later due to his serious injuries.

Upon hearing the news of Raymond Lam's death, Hua Liu was deeply saddened:

"Brother Lin has always taken it as his mission to eliminate all injustice in the world.

When he was begged to join the Hua Family Army, he said that the world was too big and the court cared about too few places, so he wanted to continue traveling.

After that, we never saw each other again. I didn’t expect that when I heard from him again, he had already… Alas.”

Then he asked Lin Zhi: "Your master rejected me at the beginning, so why do you want to join the army now?"

"My master told me before his death that the world is in chaos and the situation is unstable. If the country is not stable, the people will suffer.

Only by joining the army to quell the war can we save the common people from the dire straits."

Hua Liu nodded, deeply agreeing with this view.

Then he called his subordinates to bring Lin Zhi in for registration and arrangements.

The last time Hua Wu Ke came, he checked the roster and left. This time, he wanted to take a closer look at the current situation of the Hua family army.

Hua Liu led the way and answered Hua Wuke's questions in detail, answering them one by one as long as they were not confidential.

"Father and his men are at the border. Do they have enough military rations?"

Hua Liu sighed heavily, shook his head and replied:

"The Emperor said that the harvest in Ye Country has not been good in recent years, and the food and grass allocated to the Hua Family can only barely get by. The general and his men are at the border, and it is suffering!"

The land of the Ye Kingdom is fertile, and the weather has been good this year, so the grain harvest cannot be bad.

Hua Wu Ke thought to himself.

The number of soldiers that Ye Chuji has recruited has increased in recent years, and it seems that most of the harvested food goes into Ye Chuji's pocket.

"Since you are so deducting military rations, what about the salary?"

"The money given by the court is getting less and less. The last time I went to the border, the old general and the general paid out of their own pockets to make up for the missing soldiers.

The court always uses the excuse that the treasury is tight to shirk responsibility, and the generals can do nothing about it. The families of the soldiers need money to live, alas. "

The treasury is tight? Oh, I guess all the money has been spent on shameful things!

"Just pretend I never asked about these things. If anyone else asks about them in the future, don't tell them, not even Second Uncle and the others."

"Miss, rest assured. Hua Liu is familiar with this rule. I told you this because I know the general trusts you very much."

After Hua Wu Ke figured out the situation, he left.

Sitting in the carriage, I suddenly thought, since we are out of the city, why not go to the Black Iron Army to have a look? I wonder if Ye Buhuo is there...

"General Xiaohua, you are here. Are you looking for the prince? The prince is in the back hall."

The three Wufeng brothers were very happy to see Hua Wu Ke come again after a few days, and took the initiative to lead the way for her, "I'll take you there."

"I didn't say I was looking for him."

Hua Wu Ke was being stubborn in his words, but he followed with honest steps.

When they were almost at the front hall, they ran into Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi coming out.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke walking towards him, his originally stern brows softened immediately, and he strode forward to greet him:

"Come to Black Iron Camp to find me? Miss me?"

"Who is here to see you? I just went to the Hua Family's residence and stopped by to see my 'deputy generals'. It was Wu Feng who took the initiative to lead me to see you."

When Wu Feng heard Hua Wu Ke say that he came to see him, he was a little flattered.

Wu Feng scratched his head and smiled innocently:

"Yes, I took the initiative to bring General Xiaohua to the back hall."

He said with some regret: "If I had known that I was not here to see you, I would not have brought General Xiaohua with me. It would have been much better to take her out to play..."

Hua Wu Ke: “…”

Taking everything seriously will only hurt you.
