Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

However, Huo Shibei had a little understanding of Hu Xiang's affairs.

Grabbing a handful of peanuts, he leisurely explained to the two, "If you say that the men of Huxiang are resisting, it's actually because the women of Huxiang are too soft-hearted. If they were half as ruthless as the men, perhaps these men wouldn't be able to stand up at all."

Huo Shibei was well versed in gossips from various countries. "It is said that the King of Huxiang had a favorite male lover who was very curious about the beast taming techniques, so the King taught him some. He never expected that the male lover was a spy who wanted to bring down the King's faction."

"Women are really kind," Huo Shibei said with a sigh, "Why is there no woman willing to treat me so kindly?"

Gu Qinghe almost vomited the food he had just eaten. Shao Wei kicked him and said, "Get out if you do this again."

"You forget your principles for the sake of beauty!" Huo Shibei glared at him fiercely.

After the joke, they started talking about business, and Huo Shibei was also a little worried. After all, in his opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Lirang seemed to have some feelings for each other.

If Princess Lirang becomes the first victim of this war because of the incident between Huxiang and Lirang, perhaps there will be a direct confrontation between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty.

Of course, Huo Shibei couldn't be sure. After all, the Crown Prince had been restrained for so many years, and it was a bit absurd to say that all his efforts were wasted for a woman.

He glanced at Shao Wei who was peeling shrimp for Gu Qinghe, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he felt that there was still some possibility.

After all, before this, he had never thought that Shao Wei would rush back from Chizhou for a woman.

He shrugged. No one can tell about matters of the heart.

After Huo Shibei had eaten and drunk his fill and left, Shao Wei handed the token to Gu Qinghe, as casually as if it was just a rotten sign picked up from the street.

"You carry this with you. If something like this happens again, just hand this token over to His Majesty and wait for me to come back."

Gu Qinghe held the token in his hand, speechless, "Did you go there to get it today?"

"Yes." Shao Wei's eyes were deep. "Once the war starts, the capital will be in chaos. I know you have your own ideas and the ability to protect yourself, and I don't want to restrict any of your actions. But when you go to the battlefield, the affairs of the capital will be beyond my reach."

If something like this happened again at that time, he would not be able to rush back day and night.

The people at the border stood behind him. When the war broke out, if he took a step back, the lives of the people would be one step closer to death.

Of course he wanted Gu Qinghe to follow him to Chizhou, and he even selfishly thought that after the war was over, he would return to Beijing to accompany her and slowly settle all the grudges.

But he couldn't say such words, and he knew very well that such words did not show concern for Gu Qinghe.

So I had to ask her for a guarantee that would give me peace of mind.

Gu Qinghe put away the token, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little sad. "When are you going back?"

"The day after tomorrow."

The matter was urgent and he could not stay in the capital for too long. There were still many things in the army waiting for him to deal with when he returned.

"If Li Rang really intends to join forces with Hu Xiang, are you sure?"

"As long as I am alive, I will never give any city of my Rui Dynasty to those foreigners."

Gu Qinghe calmed down and tugged at Shao Wei's clothes. "Now that you're back, go and coax Luo Feng. Although I've coaxed him many times in the past few days, I can see that not letting him go to Chizhou before should have left him with a big shadow."

"What's the use of shadows? What's so good about Chizhou? Isn't it more comfortable to stay in the capital than to travel back and forth?"

Gu Qinghe punched him and said, "Just go and persuade him if I ask you to. There's no need to say so much. Just talk to him nicely and don't scare him."

When it comes to raising children, Shao Wei really does things in a reckless manner. Fortunately, Luo Feng is a good child and was not raised astray by him.

He had an ordinary childhood, no one cared about him, and he wandered around. He thought the best life for Luo Feng was a stable life with no worries about food and clothing.

But he didn't know that Luo Feng didn't care about those things.

He lacked love and care when he was young, and was short of food and clothing. He grew up by himself and tried his best to give Luo Feng the best of everything he had ever needed.

But Luo Feng is not him, and he doesn't lack those things. He just wants to be with Shao Wei, and he is happy even if he has to run for his life every day.

In order to make sure he didn't give Luo Feng any long lectures, Gu Qinghe followed him specially.

In the room, Luo Feng had already placed the calligraphy practice and homework he had copied these days on the table waiting for him to check.

The little guy's eyes were shining, and he held his head high, waiting for praise.

Shao Wei was quite serious about checking the homework. He turned the pages one by one and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, the handwriting is much neater. I came back too hastily this time. Next time I come back, Dad will bring you a gift."

"Oh yeah!" Luo Feng jumped up and jumped onto Gu Qinghe, "Then Daddy has to bring a gift for Sister Gu, otherwise Sister Gu will be unhappy."

"of course."

Gu Qinghe smiled and pulled Luo Feng down to stand, "Your father said he has something to tell you."

Seeing that Shao Wei was hesitating and had no intention of trying to please anyone, Gu Qinghe started the conversation for him.

Luo Feng's eyes immediately fell on Shao Wei, "What's the matter?"

Shao Wei cleared his throat, feeling helpless, but he was indeed wrong in doing this, so he had nothing to say. He said, "Are you angry that I didn't make it to Chizhou this time?"

"No." Luo Feng shook his head.

Shao Wei said: "Tell the truth."

"Why are you so fierce?" Seeing that the apology was about to turn into a scolding, Gu Qinghe quickly said, "Talk nicely."

"..." Shao Wei coughed lightly and spoke again, his voice much softer, "Tell me the truth, didn't Dad tell you before that if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't hesitate, it's not like a manly thing."

Luo Feng hummed softly, "A little bit."

As soon as he said this, his eyes turned red and his voice became tearful. "I'm ready. I haven't been to Chizhou yet. I want to see where Daddy is. I also want to go to the military camp and practice martial arts with my brothers. When I grow up, I can fight the bad guys with Daddy."

At his age, he didn't quite understand why he was so sad. He only knew that he missed his father and sister Gu, so he was very sad. However, he had recovered quickly after being sad in the past, but this time it seemed that he could not get better at all. He wanted to cry whenever he thought about this matter.
