Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Today is Xiumu, Zhu Dingbei took a few soldiers from the courtyard out, and Laohou also went out to find someone to discuss the countermeasures for escorting the migrants. It was a good time for the internal thieves to change the medicine packs.

And they did not disappoint Zhu Dingbei, as expected, they did not miss this golden opportunity.

The man was imprisoned in the ear room of the front yard. When Zhu Dingbei saw this heavily tied man, he couldn't hide his surprise.

This is a soldier who has followed the old Hou Ye for many years. After he broke one hand on the battlefield and retired, he was arranged by the old Hou Ye in the Hou Mansion, and he has always taken good care of him.He is also only a few years younger than the old Hou Ye, and he has always been diligent and honest. Zhu San has never doubted him in the mansion for so long.

I'm afraid it's heartbroken that Old Hou Ye is not here.

Zhu Dingbei turned his head away, unwilling to look at this veteran with a painful face, turned his head and asked Zhu San: "What did he say?"

Zhu San sighed and said: "He was engaged to Mrs. Zhao...that woman's son is his flesh and blood."

Mrs. Zhao is the woman who served Xiao Wang's side. She was a widow. Who would have thought that she had an affair with an unremarkable soldier in the Zhu family army, and even had an affair before getting married.Later, the soldiers joined the army, and Mrs. Zhao married in a hurry, but she had to find a father for the child because of a dark knot.If he didn't tell about this past, there would be no way to find out.

Zhu Dingbei didn't want to hear more details, so he sighed and said, "Where's Aunt Wang?"

"It's locked in another room, can the young master go and have a look?"

Zhu Dingbei frowned and shook his head.

He turned and left, and the veteran who was tied up and gagged behind him suddenly struggled and knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhu Dingbei with his head.Zhu Dingbei turned his head and saw him crying. He didn't know whether he regretted it or wanted to plead for Mrs. Zhao, but he turned his head quickly and stopped listening and watching.

After leaving the second room, Zhu Dingbei was so bored, he walked a few steps, then stopped and asked Zhu San: "Where is Aunt Wang locked up?"

Zhu San took him to the ear room on the other side. Aunt Wang's limbs were tied to a chair, her mouth was not sealed, but she was quietly devastated, and she didn't make a sound when she saw him come in.

"Originally, I didn't have to come to see you for the last time."

Zhu Dingbei said: "But for my brother's sake, I have to ask you, why did you do this?"

He really couldn't figure out why Aunt Wang had any reason to kill him like this.

"I just want my son to come back..." Aunt Wang looked up at Zhu Dingbei with resentment and anger in her eyes, "Why can you be the grandson of the Marquis Mansion and enjoy the glory and wealth in Luojing, but my son can't help it?" Why do you want to work for you outside? He is the marshal's first son, and he is a hundred times stronger than you, a sick bastard!"

Zhu Dingbei froze in place, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He shook his head, feeling stupid for comparing himself with Xiao Wang.

Poor, ignorant woman.

"Why are you coming back, but I can only be separated from my son! This Marquis Mansion belongs to my son, it's his—"

Zhu Dingbei no longer listened to Xiao Wang's resentment, and left quickly.

"Master—"

Zhu San worriedly chased after him.

Zhu Dingbei shook his head at him and said, "It's okay, you don't need to follow." But he didn't know that his laughing was uglier than his crying.

Zhu San was very distressed, but he obediently didn't bother him anymore, stopped for a while, and went to the study to return to the old master.

Hearing that his grandson went back to the small courtyard alone, the old Hou Ye sighed and said, "This stupid woman really... I am afraid that Changsheng will hurt her heart."

Xiao Wang thought that the young master of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion enjoyed all the glory and wealth, but he couldn't see the danger in it.Changsheng has a thorough mind, and must have understood what it means to follow him back to Luojing before returning to Beijing.He is the direct son of Zhu Zhenliang, the future head of the Zhu family, but he is willing to bind himself in Luojing, so that His Majesty the Emperor can see the sincerity of the Zhu family's army.

Half of my grandson's life has been ruined. That stupid woman didn't feel sorry for his sacrifice, but she used such insidious means to live a long life, and she also wanted to bring Zhengbei, who had been designated as the Zhu's army's coach, to bring back the incense to the capital. Come, ruin the future of the Zhu family!

Old Hou Ye resentfully smashed the wine glass.

If Changsheng dies, the grandson of the Zhenbeihou's Mansion will not be vacant for long, and only Zhu Zhengbei can take the place at that time.

It really puts His Majesty at ease.

"Marshal, Mrs. Wang is ignorant, don't hurt yourself because of her."

Zhu San knelt down to clean up the wine glasses, and comforted him warmly.

Old Hou Ye shook his head: "My own selfish desires almost pushed my Zhu family into a place of eternal doom, and Zhengbei's biological mother... how ridiculous. Well, make arrangements for these two days, and send her to another village to "recover from illness". Find a day to bury her. You write a private letter to tell Zhenliang the ins and outs, so that he can know how much Changsheng has been wronged. But...don’t let him publicize it.”

"This subordinate remembers it."

"And Li Jie..." Old Hou Ye had gloomy brows, with the cold look on Zhu San's face that Zhu San hadn't seen for a long time, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the Marshal's next words.

The war eagle sent by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion arrived at Zhu's army tonight.

Zhu Zhenliang read what was said on the paper, and couldn't help laughing: "Wonderful! It can be seen that the heroes have the same views, and this benefactor's idea for my grandfather coincides with the military."

Gu Chao'an also had a smile on his face. Although he had never met him before, the courage of this benefactor really fascinated him.

"It will take a day and a night for the war eagle to come from Luojing at the earliest. I thought hard for two days before I came up with this solution. This gentleman is far away in Luojing, but he has a clear understanding of the fire, and he has figured out a way to deal with it in such a short period of time. I Not as good as him."

Gu Zhaoan sighed, if he could meet this wise gentleman in his lifetime, he would have no regrets in his life.

Zhu Zhenliang said: "It's my Zhu family's great fortune to have you and this benefactor to help me! What the military master said made me, a reckless man, ashamed."

"When it comes to self-knowledge, I'm not as good as Marshal."

Gu Chaoan laughed.

Zhu Zhenliang glared at him with a stern face, and then said: "In that case, I will write out the scriptures, and the military adviser will help me with the staff. Oh, yes, what is the arrangement between Mr. Chen Ge and Zhen Youxiang?"

They want to say that Xianbei will enter winter early this year, so it is necessary for the two imperial envoys to also understand this, so that they can be foolproof.Therefore, Gu Chao'an sent a few elders of the Xianbei ethnic group to discuss the early winter this year on the road of the imperial envoy's inspection. When it comes to calculating the weather, the Taishi Ling of the Qin Tianjian may not have what these old people say To be sure, Mr. Chen Ge and Zhen Youxiang would not doubt it if they heard about it.

Although Zhu Zhenliang's handwriting is not a great calligrapher, and it is still a bit scribbled, but the strokes are domineering and sharp, and they are somewhat ornamental, which is many times stronger than his youngest son's ghostly calligraphy.

After Gu Chao'an read the official letter he wrote, he clicked on a few more sentences and slightly revised it. Zhu Zhenliang sealed the official letter and asked Zhu Fan to send it back to Luojing immediately.

The big rock in Zhu Zhenliang's heart was finally loosened, he took off his knife and caressed the blade fondly, and sighed: "This year, one thing after another has not stopped. I have led the army for so many years, and it has not been like this. To fight the enemy, you have to fight with those civil servants! Those old and immortal things, I was born to die, they just want to stab the knife in the back, and one day they will cut them!"

Gu Chao'an glanced at him, "These battles have never stopped, but the former coach was so exhausted about the battle that he couldn't spare his mind to deal with it."

Zhu Zhenliang: "..."

Did the military adviser say that he was dull and ignorant before, did he really think he couldn't understand?

These sour Confucians have to hold soft knives in every word, are they tired after all?

Zhu Zhenliang did not engage in a verbal battle with the military adviser, but instead asked him: "Apart from the letterhead sent by Zhanying, are there other letters?"

Gu Chaoan didn't know why he asked this question, but after thinking about it carefully, there were no mistakes, so he asked him: "But what's the problem?"

"Hey."

Zhu Zhenliang sighed exaggeratedly, "My son Changsheng has been back to Beijing for almost two years, and Luo Jing sends a safe letter every month, but this kid has never written a single word. Military teacher, tell me, is this kid killed by Luo Jing?" Jing Fanhua lost his eyes and forgot all about his father?"

Gu Chao'an twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in a bad mood: "Gu has not yet married a wife and had children, so I'm afraid he can't solve the confusion for the commander."

"Speaking of this, the military division is also very old, this is a lifelong event—"

"Master!"

Gu Chao An Teng stood up, "I remember that I still have something to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

"... Letting you marry a wife is not letting you feed a tigress, I'm afraid it will happen like this, scoff."

The marshal stroked his beard, secretly thinking that he had to discuss with his wife to find a wife for the military division, so as not to be single for a long time, and it would be unreasonable to keep them together.

However, he soon lost the mood to watch the bustle of the military adviser. On the second day, he finally received the letter from home that he had been looking forward to for a long time, but after reading what was written in the letter, the joyful expression on his face instantly turned gloomy.

"Boss?"

Lieutenant Zhu Fan was shocked, did something happen in Beijing?

But Zhu Zhenliang ignored him, read it over and over again with disbelief, was silent for a while, and then said to Zhu Fan: "Go and call Madam and Zheng Bei over."

His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, Zhu Fan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly led away.

Lady Gao and Zhu Zhengbei were startled when they heard Zhu Fan's words, fearing that something happened to Luojinghou's mansion, they hurried over.Zhu Zhenliang didn't say a word, just handed the crumpled letter to Zhu Zhengbei.

Zhu Zhengbei only read a few sentences, his face suddenly turned pale, and when he read on, he couldn't help but tremble all over, knelt down with red eyes, his forehead touched the ground, and he clenched his fists tightly, unable to utter a word.

Mrs. Gao was frightened to death by the father and son. She snatched the letter and read it. She suddenly turned pale: "Purple licorice, what's the matter with purple licorice! How is Changsheng? How long has he been poisoned? Can the poison be eradicated? Dad didn't mention it. It can't be...Zhen Liang, please write a letter and go back to find out, then, it's purple licorice..."

Mrs. Gao, who has always been strong, panicked and didn't know what to do. Zhu Zhenliang held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, Dad asked me to hide it, which means that Changsheng will be fine."

"How can it be all right! The purple licorice is not of ordinary speed, it will hide in the body for a long time, if it is not removed, the bones will be broken, and it will be difficult to live long in the future... Changsheng is only a few years old, why do you treat a child like this? .”

"Father, ask Grandpa clearly, Brother must not have anything to do—"

Meeting Zhu Zhenliang's gaze, the shocked and flustered Zhu Zhengbei's voice stopped, and the tears in his eyes rolled down uncontrollably.

The one who hurt Changsheng was not someone else, but his biological mother, or it was because of him that he took action against Changsheng... Zhu Zhengbei felt hatred and panic in his heart, if something happened to his younger brother, he would die forever.

Seeing him blaming himself, Mrs. Gao wiped away her tears and bent down to help him up, "Good boy, this is none of your business, get up, get up quickly."

"mother……"

"Don't say it, you are the child I brought up with my own hands, how could I not know?" She tried to pull Zhu Zhengbei up, but the latter's back could not be straightened, and he fell on the ground in pain, clutching The corner of her robe, crying silently.

Mrs. Gao also burst into tears, holding back her tears and saying: "Ms. Wang hurt Changsheng. If I were in Luojing, I would definitely cut her into pieces. But we are far away in Xianbei, so we don't know anything. We can only watch Changsheng suffers there. Zhengbei, let me tell you the truth, I will never forgive what your biological mother did, if I were in Luojing, I would never agree to the old man letting her die of illness."

"Do you know how difficult Changsheng's situation is in Luojing. In the future... your grandfather leaves, only he can defend us in Luojing, so that you and your father can have no future worries in the northern border .”

Mrs. Gao was so distressed that it was hard to add, she said from her heart: "Changsheng is a smart child, he, he must have understood why he went back with Grandpa for a long time. However, he never said a word to us... you can clear?"

Zhu Zhengbei gritted his teeth, but crying kept coming from his throat.

How can he not understand?

It is precisely because I understand...that I cannot bear the fact that my biological mother harmed my younger brother.
