The Rebirth of an Orphan

In the guest house of the suburban temple, it was quiet all around. The few people who stayed with the old man were also the old men who followed him. He was already old, and he could not help with anything at this time. He just ordered Wang Bo to hand over all the secret guards left behind to Deng Xiao, to see if he could help rescue Zhao Xihua.

Now that the group of secret guards were gone, the whole guest house became even more deserted and silent. The old man's health was getting worse day by day, and now he was hanging on for his last breath, just to wait for Gu Lun to come back from the battlefield, and to see his grandson for the last time.

There was a knock on the door from the kitchen door. The old man liked to eat fish, and Lao Tao was the chef who came out of the restaurant and always followed the old man to cook.

"Butler Wang, the fish is ready. When will the old man eat it?" Lao Tao outside the door kept asking.

Wang Bogang had just helped the old man drink some milk and put him to sleep. He was worried that Lao Tao would wake him up, so he walked out of the room and saw Lao Tao standing outside the door holding a food bowl.

"Butler Wang, if the old man can't eat, why don't we share it? I also made some fish soup for you. You've worked hard taking care of the old man these days. You should replenish your body."

Uncle Wang walked forward and did not touch the fish. He just picked up the fish soup and drank most of it in one breath. He said, "Give this fish to the others so that they can drink less. Now..."

Suddenly, the expression on Uncle Wang's face changed instantly. He pushed the remaining soup to the ground, and a mouthful of black blood oozed out from the corner of his lips.

"you……"

Lao Tao stepped back and cried, "Lao Wang, don't hate me. My grandson is still in Madam Hua's hands. I have no choice. I can't lose my grandson."

"You...how dare you betray...betray..." More and more blood flowed out of Uncle Wang's mouth. He was totally unprepared that the usually honest and simple cook would have such evil intentions. It was obvious that it was Madam Hua's doing.

"Don't hate me, Lao Wang, don't hate me, I didn't do anything either..." Lao Tao, who retreated to the door, had a knife stabbed into his back and he froze at the door in disbelief.

A young man in a black windbreaker walked out from the shadow of the door. It was Gu Lun who was beside Mrs. Hua. The cautious gentleness between his eyebrows had turned into murderous madness.

"Uncle Wang, all your old brothers are dead. The old man will die tonight too. You will meet in another world. Don't be anxious. Take your time, one by one."

"You...what do you want to do?" Wang Boden widened his eyes and stared at Gu Xing in front of him.

Gu Xing raised his hand, and a group of assassins in black came over and surrounded the door.

“No... no... don’t do this... run!” Uncle Wang crawled step by step to the door of the room where the old man was sleeping, but he couldn’t hold on and died.

"Someone, go in and tie up the old man, tie him up tightly."

"And burn this house down, and say that the house where the old man lives is on fire."

"Yes!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Gu Xing's eyes. Now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Tonight would mean life or death. He could only give it a try. However, everything seemed to be going smoothly for now.

……

In a courtyard of the Deng family in Kyoto, bursts of low crying sounds were heard. It was Zhao Chishu who was leaning against the fence beside the pond and crying with the two maids who were accompanying him.

"Young Madam, don't cry. The Young Master has already tried to find a way to save Fourth Aunt. There will be news soon."

Zhao Chishu's eyes were swollen from crying. "I know our young master is a kind-hearted person, but my fourth sister offended the Queen Mother and was imprisoned in the dungeon. I only hate... I only hate that I am a girl, otherwise I would have rushed in to save her."

"Silly child, how can you save him?" There were footsteps outside.

"Mother!" Zhao Chishu saw her mother-in-law, Mrs. Deng, rushing in.

Ever since Zhao Chishu married into the Deng family, everyone in the family has treated her like a treasure, especially Grandpa Deng, who likes calligraphy and painting. He is extremely satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law, who is generous, has profound attainments in calligraphy, painting, poetry and is kind.

Even Deng Xiao was careful to protect his wife. Gradually, Zhao Chishu's feelings for Deng Xiao changed, and they became real husband and wife. Naturally, their relationship was sweeter than honey.

What makes her uncomfortable now is her fourth sister. There is no accurate news about her brother-in-law going out to fight, and her fourth sister has been captured by the Queen Mother. She is extremely worried.

Mrs. Deng is not only kind-hearted but also very loyal. She knows that her son and Gu Lun are sworn brothers, and her son must step forward to help if his brother is in trouble.

She grabbed Zhao Chishu's hand and sat on a chair beside the fence, advising him, "Mother knows what you're thinking, but this matter involves too much. If you rush in there in a hurry, you might be killed before you even see anyone."

Mrs. Deng paused and continued, "Although your fourth sister will suffer, you can rest assured that Queen Mother Wang will not kill her. As long as that kid Gu Lun doesn't come back, Queen Mother Wang will not dare to touch her. But I really didn't expect that Jiang Wanyi, that bitch, who looks like a living Buddha on weekdays, is so damn smart when she uses dirty tricks..."

Mrs. Deng stopped talking and forced herself to swallow back the rest of the words. After all, it was not proper for an elder to swear in front of her daughter-in-law.

She was about to say something when the Deng family’s housekeeper came in hurriedly: “Oh no, oh no, Madam, something happened.”

"What happened?" Everyone was shocked by the housekeeper.

The housekeeper took a breath and said hurriedly, "Madam, the young madam is really amazing. I heard that the ninth prince led his men to destroy all the foreign enemy troops and is now preparing to return to the court."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Mrs. Deng laughed.

The housekeeper quickly changed his tone and said, "But General Gu Lun died in the battle!"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Deng stood up suddenly, while Zhao Chishu on the side was shaky. Fourth brother-in-law died in the battle? How is it possible? How could such a powerful person die?

"Mother, Deng Xiao suddenly walked in from the door. He had been very busy these past few days rescuing Zhao Xihua, and his face was haggard.

"Shu'er," Deng Xiao looked at Zhao Chishu, his eyes full of guilt and worry.

Zhao Xihua was really hard to save. It took a lot of effort to find out that she was imprisoned in the Rain Viewing Terrace instead of the dungeon. So it was a bit troublesome.

Now he received another piece of news that made him even more sad, but this news was so sudden that he was completely stunned.

When the housekeeper saw Deng Xiao coming back, he took the servants and maids and left. The Deng family might never have peace in the future. Everyone knew that Deng Xiao was Gu Lun's right-hand man. Now that Gu Lun was dead, the Deng family might have to confront the Ling family directly.
