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

Gao Cun's lips twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes quietly when he lowered his head. To be honest, he felt that ever since his general met Doctor Gu, he was becoming more and more like a peacock spreading its tail.

After opening the screen, Shao Wei finally remembered the business, "But what about Hu Xiang?"

"Yes," Gao Cun said, "the person sent to Huxiang to get information has returned."

"How is it, have you seen the military advisor Hu Xiang?"

Gao Cun shook his head. "Hu Xiang protected this military advisor very well. When he traveled, he not only wore a mask, but also had many guards around him. Our people couldn't get close to him at all."

"I understand," Shao Wei waved his hand, "You go and get busy."

In the evening, the first thing Shao Wei did when he returned to the general's mansion was to look for Gu Qinghe.

After listening to him, Gu Qinghe also pondered for a moment, "It seems that my guess is correct. This Huxiang military advisor should be highly valued by the Lord of Huxiang."

That's true. The King of Huxiang had originally been questioned by the people of Huxiang because of the matter of his male favorite, but he gradually gained a firm foothold with the advice of this military advisor, so naturally he had to take him more seriously.

However, the guards following Military Advisor Hu Xiang were not necessarily worried about exposing the Advisor's identity.

There are many people on Hu Xiang's side who covet the position of king. Even when the previous king lost power, some people must have regarded this position as their own.

Presumably, those who are coveting that position now would like to get rid of this military advisor.

Shao Wei said: "In the early years of Huxiang, men were not allowed to step out of the border of Huxiang, and their people were not allowed to marry outsiders. This rule was enforced for many years, but more than 20 years ago, the people of Huxiang could not resist the temptation of the outside world and secretly ran away."

"Although they were captured and even burned alive soon after, it also made the people of Huxiang yearn for the outside world even more. In the past few years, people have been running out of Huxiang and bringing back news of the outside world. This has caused the men of Huxiang to be eager to learn the beast-controlling skills of the women of Huxiang. One of the leaders even claimed that when he became the king, he would order Huxiang to open the country to marriage with the outside world and also trample the women of Huxiang under his feet."

Gu Qinghe raised his eyebrows. "Although this statement is extreme, I guess he has a lot of support."

Shao Wei chuckled, "More than that, the men of Huxiang almost regard him as their faith and salvation. Now those who support Lord Huxiang and those who support this man are divided into two major factions. It is impossible to completely wipe him out. That is why Lord Huxiang chose to cooperate with Lirang and planned to ask for part of my Ruichao's land after the success to provide for the living of the people of Huxiang."

It was a little funny to say, and Gu Qinghe's expression became a little playful. "I heard that although women are respected in Lirang, they also provide a lot of help to men. Whether a woman marries a husband or takes a concubine, as long as it is done in public, she needs to be responsible for the man's life, and Huxiang has many rules to protect men."

What's more, these men can serve as officials in the court and do whatever they want. Except for the position of the head of state, which is destined to be held by a woman, there are very few restrictions on men.

Can't even have a child.

If the men couldn't stand this, then wouldn't the women in Rui Dynasty, who were tortured by their husbands every day, oppressed by the world, and could only stay in their rooms to embroider and weave, all commit suicide by jumping into the river?

Well, Gu Qinghe admitted that he was more or less selfish and prejudiced.

"How did the military advisor help the king regain his footing?"

Shao Wei shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with the 15-year-old girl's coming-of-age ceremony in Huxiang."

All of Hu Xiang's daughters, regardless of their physical strength, had to go to the wild to look for poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that they could use when they turned 15 and had their coming-of-age ceremony.

Therefore, a big reason why the number of women in Huxiang was far less than that of men was because many women were unable to return from the forest alive.

Die from the sharp stings of poison or from the fangs of ferocious beasts.

Even though those men clamor to learn the art of controlling animals like the women, they may not be willing to go through it.

You can have power, but if you make people who have never suffered any hardship suddenly suffer, or even face a threat to their life.

Even if there are very determined people, there will definitely be many who retreat.

Gu Qinghe thought for a long time before speaking softly, "I want to go to Huxiang."

For her, determining whether Chen Qingshan is still alive is more important than helping the Chen family to take revenge.

Even if I can't bring Chen Qingshan back, at least let him know that he and his mother are still there.

And he must have his own reasons for staying in Huxiang.

Shao Wei had already guessed that she would say this.

He did not refuse, but he did not agree with her risk. However, he knew that Gu Qinghe was a man of his word, so he finally admitted defeat. "The husband of the great prince of Huxiang is the uncle of the crown prince of Yun. If you really want to go to Huxiang, go to Yun first. You have saved the third prince before, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will help you."

Shao Wei said: "But I hope you don't go over there now. The life-saving grace is important, and the Prince of Yun is also a loyal person, but at this critical moment, there will inevitably be some mistakes. If someone knows your identity and puts you in danger, I'm not sure if I can calm down and continue to fight Li Rang."

He wanted to go with Gu Qinghe, but his responsibility now was at the border of Rui Dynasty, to the soldiers waiting for battle, and to the frightened people.

The more responsibilities one has, the heavier one's selfishness will become.

But he didn't want to let Gu Qinghe face the unknown alone. No matter how well the arrangements were made, there were still some unexpected changes. Shao Wei hoped that she could wait.

Gu Qinghe saw his guilt and helplessness clearly, pulled him to sit down, and tapped his chest, "You are a general. With this title, you must also shoulder the responsibilities of a general. If your mind is full of those sentimental things, how can you be worthy of the people and soldiers who trust you so much."

She pointed at herself again and said, "My life was given to me by my parents. If they hadn't taken me home and raised me, I wouldn't be standing here now. My responsibility is to repay the Chen family for their kindness to me. When something happened to the Chen family, I thought my parents and brother were all dead. I was in great pain and wanted to take revenge but I didn't know where to start."

"I told myself to be patient. One day, I will bring down those who harmed the Chen family one by one. Even if I cannot clear the Chen family's grievances with my ability, at least I will kill these beasts with my own hands."

She had waited for too long. The time of her previous life seemed like an unbridgeable gap. Now she suddenly heard that Chen Qingshan might still be alive.

It was as if dawn suddenly appeared in the pitch-black night.

Perhaps it was just a short year for others, but for her, it was indeed a life-and-death experience.
