Emperor's Grace

After saving the man, Hu Yangcheng's search and arrest operation did not stop. He Huailing left behind Jiang Yan and led the troops to continue to search the house under the pretext of finding details. Then send Zhu Yunjing and his son back to the mansion first.

Yuan Bao didn't cry after being tormented like this, they just fed him some water when the nanny was not around, and the little fool fell asleep in Zhu Yunjing's arms when he was full. His son bowed his head and kissed his soft face from time to time, both grateful and afraid.

"When I was pregnant with him, I always thought about giving him food in the future. Letting him be a concubine of the Eastern Palace is already a great favor. I didn't know until I was born that I couldn't bear to treat him badly." Yun Jing murmured in a low voice, he was still a little bit overwhelmed by the ups and downs of the whole day, fortunately his son has returned safely.

He Huailing shook his hand: "It's fine, don't think too much, you treat Yuan Bao better than anyone else, he can feel it."

"...Now that everyone knows the existence of Yuan Bao, will there be any trouble?"

He Huailing didn't care and said: "That's all right. Although it's disgraceful to be unmarried and have a child, it's not harmful. It's fine."

Zhu Yunjing nodded. He couldn't give his son the highest honor, and always put him in danger. It was him who was the father. In the future, he could only slowly replenish his son from other aspects.

It was almost dawn when I returned to the General Military Mansion, Zhu Yunjing was exhausted physically and mentally, and fell asleep on the road while holding her son. As soon as He Huailing settled them down, someone from his subordinates came to report that Chen Bo didn't know what method he used, but he fell asleep from Ding The vice president escaped from the pass under his nose. After Ding found out, he immediately led his troops to chase after him. There is no news yet.

He Huailing's eyebrows furrowed fiercely: "Exit? Did he exit?"

"Yes."

It's not easy for Chen Bo to escape, he ran out of the pass, what can he do outside the pass?

He Huailing's question was quickly answered. After hearing that Chen Bo left their mother and son and fled alone, Yu Xiang'er burst into tears and cried bitterly, saying that she wanted to see He Huailing, and He Huailing asked someone to bring her here. Kneeling on the ground with a big belly is really pitiful, but He Huailing couldn't feel sympathy, and said coldly: "You know everything, just say it."

Yu Xiang'er had already wiped away her tears, and said loudly: "Chen Bo sent someone to pick me up to Zhuangzi in the middle of the night yesterday, and brought a child to me and told me to take him with me. It was originally agreed to pick me up tonight Let’s go out together, how could I have met you when I just came out of Zhuangzi, I didn’t expect that he would leave me and the child in my stomach and run away by himself.”

He Huailing frowned and said: "You originally planned to escape from the customs? He is the imperial court official, where can you go after you leave the customs?"

"I don't know," Yu Xiang'er sneered, "I don't know where he wants to go, but there is always a place to go. He is a barbarian."

Hearing this, He Huailing's expression suddenly became solemn: "You said he is a barbarian?"

He had read Chen Bo's resume early in the morning. He was a native of Dayan without any problems, so how could he be a barbarian?

Yu Xiang'er closed her eyes, and said slowly: "He has always been on guard against me. When he stayed with me, he never slept in the same room with me. Only once when he got drunk, he stayed with me. I slept until dawn in the room, and I heard him talking in his sleep, talking in barbarian words that I couldn’t understand, and there was a very ugly scar on his left arm, which he said was from the battlefield. The sword wound I received looked like a scald. When I was in Baihualou, I heard people say that the left arm of the Yi people would be engraved with the totem of the tribe. I guess the one on his arm is also the same. When people saw it, they burned it with fire."

He Huailing lowered his gaze: "He planned to leave a long time ago?"

"...It should be. Since I had this child, he has been less defensive than before. He has indeed complained in front of me several times, saying that he knows that you are suspicious of him, General, and that he doesn't want to stay here anymore. Yes, a few days ago he came suddenly and told me to pack up and take me away, I asked him where he was going and found out that he wanted to leave the customs.”

Yu Xiang'er smiled wryly: "I don't really want to go, my sister is still here, but what can I do, I'm already pregnant with his child, so I can only follow him, but it turns out he doesn't really care about me, If you say let it go, let it go."

"He escaped," He Huailing reminded her in a deep voice, "his own life is more important than you and the child in your womb."

Yu Xiang'er was dumbfounded and said, "Can I still give birth to this child?"

He Huailing was unmoved, he was not a person who was full of sympathy and unprincipled and soft-hearted: "Since he is a barbarian who works carefully, you can't keep this child. If you beat the child, you will reform yourself in the future and take your sister to live a good life."

In the afternoon of that day, Ding Yang, who chased him hundreds of miles outside the customs, arrested Chen Bo and all his followers who had fled with him. He Huailing went to interrogate them in person. He went there for several days and never returned to the mansion.

Zhu Yunjing was not idle either, and rechecked all the people in the mansion to make sure that there would be no mistakes before she felt at ease.Before, he only carried Yuanbao during the day, and let the mother take him away at night, and now he also let his son sleep with him at night, and only asked someone to carry him to nurse him when he was hungry, so that although he would always be tossed at night Waking up for a while, but at least my heart is at ease.

On the evening of the fifth day, He Huailing finally returned to the mansion, but what he brought back was not good news. The Yuzhen Kingdom in the northeast finally showed its true colors, turned its guns and sharpened its knives to Dayan, and unexpectedly within half a month. In the four cities on the border of Xia Dayan, the local commanders guarding the border were afraid of being held accountable by the court, so they kept it a secret and did not report it. Later, they couldn't hide it anymore, so they had to report the military information to the court. The court was in an uproar, and Emperor Zhaoyang Long Yan was even more furious, and immediately issued an order to escort the dereliction of duty general back to Beijing, and then passed the order to Qiongguan, ordering He Huailing to lead [-] troops to rescue.

After hearing this, Zhu Yunjing frowned immediately: "The Yuzhen small country, how dare they?"

"They have been planning for a long time," He Huailing sighed. "Before, the imperial court focused on the Cangrong Kingdom, but they ignored the Yuzhen Kingdom, which had the same wolf ambition. After Cangrong was defeated, Yuzhen Kingdom took the opportunity to pick up A lot of cheap, on the one hand sell well with me Dayan, on the other hand expand the power and territory, behind them, there may be the support of those foreign people in the extreme cold area in the north, Dayan just finished fighting with Cangrong, and he is restless In two years, they took advantage of this time to provoke, and they really have a heart to punish."

"Will there be any problems if you lead the troops?" Zhu Yunjing was worried.

"Since it's a holy decree, I have no choice. Don't worry, I will be careful." He Huailing said in a relaxed tone.

Zhu Yunjing lowered her eyes and didn't know what to say for a while, she had expected this day to come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

He Huailing squeezed his palm: "There is also about that Chen Bo, he is indeed a barbarian, and he is the real Yuren, but he is very stubborn. After being captured, he didn't say a word. In the end, one of his cronies couldn't handle it." The real Chen Bo was killed by them before he was transferred to this lonely gate three years ago. He disguised himself as Chen Bo, and even deceived his wife. He is here to pass on military news. , while helping Zhenren Yu to buy ironware and other useful things from those merchants, Qian Zongbing was assassinated by him when he found out the clues. Suspicious, he planned to escape back."

No wonder this fake Chen Bo didn't even want his family members, and he only planned to take Yu Xiang'er away. Only Yu Xiang'er was pregnant with his flesh and blood. I'm afraid it wasn't because Chen Bo's wife was the daughter of a second-rank official. From his father-in-law to inquire about the news of the Dayan court, in order to avoid trouble, that woman must have been killed by this fake Chen Bo long ago.

Zhu Yunjing's eyes were slightly cold: "So he stole the ingot to blackmail you with the child? If he really got it, you will be passive on the battlefield, and it will be wrong to do anything at that time."

If the ingot was really stolen outside the pass, when the two armies were at war, his son would be pushed out to be sacrificed, just thinking about this possibility would make Zhu Yunjing feel cold all over, wishing he could tear Chen Bo to pieces.

He Huailing knew what Zhu Yunjing was thinking, and squeezed his hand tightly: "Don't think about things that won't happen again."

Zhu Yunjing pursed her lips lightly: "Could it really be possible to make such a resemblance through the disguise technique that even the people next to the pillow can't tell?"

"It's not uncommon for their husband and wife to have a bad relationship. Even if someone has that ability, it's very rare. Don't worry too much."

"Does the fake Chen Bo know about the contacts between the Zeng family and the Lin family?"

He Huailing shook his head slightly: "He refused to open his mouth. I think he may not be very clear about where those goods came from. The Zeng family may not tell him without reservation."

But it doesn't matter, Zeng Jinnan and his two elder sons will be back in two days, and then they will be detained for strict interrogation.

Zhu Yunjing's brows still couldn't be stretched: "...when are you leaving?"

"We need to mobilize troops to make preparations. It will take a few more days. There will be 2 people left here in Qiongguan. I will also keep Jiang Yan. Be careful yourself."

Zhu Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief: "The one who goes to war is you, not me, and you should be the one who should be careful."

The words that are obviously concerned, but they are always a little awkward when they come out of Zhu Yunjing's mouth. He Huailing has long been used to it, but it is very useful. He rubbed Zhu Yunjing's fingertips with a smile, and sighed: "You..."

Zhu Yunjing felt a little uncomfortable: "I want to go with you."

"Ok?"

"Forget it, Yuan Bao is still so young, I have to take care of him first, you... go early and come back early."

The smile in He Huailing's eyes grew stronger, and she leaned closer and kissed him: "Okay."
