Great General [Rebirth]

Early the next morning, Zhao Yongzhou set off on time with Ruan Xiao.Their route planning is a combination of water and land, and an urgent running method of [-] miles.Ruan Yan also wanted to persuade him not to be so anxious, it will take half a month, but Zhao Yongzhou has his own plan, and the journey back will take the old and weak, women and children, so it will be slow at that time.He prepared ten days to go back, so there was very little time left.

Ruan Yan released a carrier pigeon every morning and evening, and did not specify the location, but said that everything was fine.Zhao Yongzhou saw it, but he didn't ask.He didn't sleep too soundly that night. He knew that Feng Buran would come back in a hurry, and left in a hurry after sleeping for less than an hour.He knew that Feng Buran was good to him, but he couldn't tell, how much interest was mixed in this kind of affection?Yes, he began to doubt him, this suspicion seemed unfair at first glance, but why did Feng Buran open his heart to him?

But fortunately, he didn't think about giving up on him, maybe because he got some now, he wants to get more.People are always so dissatisfied.

It was the evening of the fourth day when we arrived in Sanqing County.

In the border town, there are clouds and red crimson clouds hanging on the sky, the distant mountains are low, and Qionghai is turbulent; nearby are farmers plowing, field ridges and loess, and the season of harvesting crops.

On the official road, two fast horses galloped past, attracting the attention of passers-by.With a glimpse, only two figures can be seen from the back, one unruly and unrestrained, and the other graceful and unparalleled.

Zhang Yuming had received Feng Buran's letter a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.Hearing the servant's report that a man and a woman were coming this way on fast horses, he guessed it was Bai Wu.Quickly dressed up, went to the wing room to invite Mrs. Bai and Cuiyu, and brought her three sons and two young daughters to the door to greet them.Neighbors from the village also came to join in the fun, and the roads were almost full of people standing on both sides.This situation is quite similar to that when Bai Wuhuakui was parading the streets, Zhang Yuming's forehead was sweating coldly, what if Bai Wu got angry and made himself feel embarrassed.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yuming seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd.However, it was crowded and soon disappeared.At this time, cheers erupted from the crowd, Zhang Yuming suppressed the throbbing and anxiety in his heart, and went out to greet him.

Behind Bai Wu was a tall and graceful woman, wearing a sky blue veil, only revealing a pair of almond eyes, which was also very charming.When Zhang Yuming went up to greet Bai Wuxing, she also stood aside, her brows and eyes curved quietly.However, those eyes quickly shot across the crowd, and everyone only felt a moment of shadyness, like a stabbing light, but they didn't know the reason.

When Zhao Yongzhou dismounted from his horse, he went straight to Bai Shi and Cuiyu. The two women had been watching with tears in their eyes. The three hugged each other for a while, and then Zhao Yongzhou turned around:

"Master Laozhang these days."

"The general is serious, please come inside, everything is ready."

Zhao Yongzhou supported Bai's family, and Ruan Yan also went up to support Cuiyu and the child in her arms, and they entered Zhang's mansion surrounded by everyone.

The crowd dispersed slowly, and at the end of the crowd, under the flower tree, stood a beautiful figure.He was wearing coarse linen clothes, his red jade hands were tightly clutching the apron around his waist, and the other hand was holding a medicine bag.

"Bai'er..."

A man who recognized him came to hold his hand, "Oh, my dear, don't you have enough money? Come here, Lord, I have it here."

He shook off the man's hand, looking at the door of Zhang's mansion like a frightened deer, as if he was afraid of being seen by the people inside.Turned around and ran away in embarrassment.

After eating in Zhang's mansion, Zhao Yongzhou first expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yuming, and asked Ruan Yan to present some treasures in the package: white jade and pearls, the giant painting of the former master's mountain dwelling, and the fine brush.Zhang Yuming refused again and again, and even said that he was ashamed and dare not take it. His appearance was not only polite, but even really a little scared.Zhao Yongzhou didn't understand what he meant, "Master Zhang, what's the matter? You help me take care of my family, and it's just for Wansheng to express my feelings. Why don't you give me any face?"

"General, this is a bad old man, don't dare to dare." Zhang Yuming declined again.

He was already a little anxious, as if he had really done something to offend Bai Wu.Looking at Zhang's mansion again, since Zhao Yongzhou just came in, the expressions of these people, including Bai Shi and Cuiyu, are all weird.

Zhao Yongzhou saw it, waved his hands and smiled: "Forget it. Thank you Master Zhang for your hospitality. Tomorrow, Wansheng will return to Beijing. If you need help, please let me know. Wansheng will do his best if he can."

Before Zhang Yuming said anything, Cuiyu exclaimed: "So fast?"

Bai quickly tugged on her sleeve, then glanced at Zhang Yuming, as if to tell Cuiyu not to talk too much and let Zhang Yuming handle it.

It was the same at the dinner table just now, Cuiyu was holding the child and sitting next to Zhao Yongzhou, and next to her was Zhang Yuming's youngest son, Zhang Tuxiao.Zhang Tuxiao kept picking up vegetables for her, but Cuiyu just stared at him, and Zhao Yongzhou's eyes were already on the two's every move.

Zhao Yongzhou has been holding back and not having an attack, and now even Bai Shi is doing the same, which makes him angry.He couldn't understand what this situation was, and he didn't want to understand.

"Is this called fast?" Zhao Yongzhou raised his eyebrows, "It's a long way from the capital to here, if you don't hurry up early, if you go back late, I will be punished."

The teacup in his hand was placed heavily on the table, and everyone present shrank their necks inadvertently.

Zhang Yuming wanted to say something, but with cold sweat on his forehead, he opened his mouth.At this time, Ruan Yan, who had been watching the words and expressions by the side, spoke. She smiled and said to everyone: "The little general is in a hurry to see his family. He has been driving around the clock for days and nights. He hasn't slept yet. I'm tired now." , it’s better to go to rest first, let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”

In the end she said it to Zhao Yongzhou.He frowned and looked at her twice, but didn't speak.

Zhang Yuming immediately said: "Yes, yes. Take the general to the guest room to rest."

After entering the room and closing the door, Zhao Yongzhou sat on the chair, his expression not very good.He could hear people coming and going outside, talking softly, as if they were struggling with who would come in and explain to him.After a while, Ruan Yan walked in.

"Look at your dark face, how dare your mother and sister come in to see you." Ruan Yan said jokingly.

"What did they tell you?" He wanted to find out what was the reason, and ran all the way back to pick up the people, but ended up getting involved with the Zhang family one by one.This Zhang Yuming is really not a good thing.

Ruan smiled and poured tea and water for him: "Calm down. They are all your dearest people, how could they tell me behind your back? Even if there is something hidden, I am afraid that you will be angry. You are quiet Set your mind to listen, everything is easy to discuss."

Zhao Yongzhou looked outside, it was already dark, Zhang Yuming and Zhang Tuxiao stood in the yard, Cuiyu and Bai Shi stood cautiously looking this way, and were afraid to come in.

He took a deep breath and said to Ruan Xiao: "Go and let them in."

"That's right. Remember, no matter what, don't get angry with your mother and sister." Ruan Yan went out and gave a few instructions. Zhang Tuxiao was about to run away, and Zhang Yuming kicked him. , Zhang Tuxiao knelt on the ground.

Ruan Yan led the mother and daughter in, and closed the door when they exited.

Bai Shi and Cuiyu stood with their heads buried, Zhao Yongzhou stood up and helped her to sit down.

"Mother, Fourth Sister, I'm Xiao Wu. You treat me like this, as if you don't recognize me." Zhao Yongzhou's voice choked up when he said this.He just felt sad, obviously it was his own mother and sister, why they stood together with outsiders.Combined, they exclude him.

"My son, don't get me wrong." Bai said hastily, her hair was gray and her face was anxious.The accessories she and Cuiyu wore also became more expensive, and they looked like old ladies and young mistresses from rich families.

"When I left, I said that I would come back to pick you up soon. The emperor gave me a house, gold, silver and jewels, and piles of servants. If you go, you will enjoy the blessing... Let's leave early tomorrow morning, okay? "Zhao Yongzhou said with a smile.

Cuiyu clutched her handkerchief, bit her lip and said nothing.Mrs. Bai hesitated for a moment, then said: "Xiao Wu, there is something I have thought about for a long time, and I still think I should tell you. Actually... I am not your mother."

Her face was a little pale, and her words trembled.

"That year I went to the county to see a doctor. When I came back, I passed by the back mountain in the south of the city. At that time, you were still stained with blood, and the umbilical cord was still growing. You just came out of the womb. There are many wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountain all the year round. I also I didn't dare to stay longer, so I carried you away, and no one came to look for you afterwards. I often thought in fear that maybe your biological mother was nearby at that time. She didn't come to look for you, or something happened, and she Or at that time... I just had a miscarriage at that time, and I didn't dare to tell anyone. My man came home in half a month, and I told him that you were his son. You also know that the first four of me are all daughters. I originally thought that having a son would help him calm down a little bit. Who knows that not only did he not restrain himself, but he also pushed you into the pit of fire...Now that you are successful and famous, it all depends on your own ability. I will definitely not If you dare to take me to the capital to enjoy the blessings, you should go to your biological parents."

Bai Shi spoke intermittently, but Zhao Yongzhou didn't interrupt her and waited for her to finish.

After being silent for a while, and waiting for Mrs. Bai to calm down a bit, he slowly said, "If that's the reason why you didn't go to the capital with me, then you don't have to. You have raised me for ten years, and you are also my mother. I will pick you up Going to enjoy happiness is a matter of course. Not to mention Cuiyu, she is taking her child with her now, and after going to the capital, I will take care of her. If you meet the right one, it will not be difficult to remarry."

Bai Shi hesitated to speak, and finally sighed.To Cuiyu: "Xiao Wu is a reasonable child, you should tell him everything."

Zhao Yongzhou looked at Cuiyu.

Cuiyu muttered, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to go to the capital."

"Why?" Zhao Yongzhou asked softly, and then he said: "The capital is very big and beautiful. I will protect you, and no one will dare to bully you. People regard you as a lady, and many people surround you all day long." Looking at you, enjoying the flowers, watching the theater, and visiting the garden, no one dares to give you a little bit of anger. I will give you glory, wealth, and a carefree life, and you don't need to worry about anything at all."

"I don't want to be a noble lady." Cuiyu said suddenly, she still didn't raise her head, "What about watching flowers and theaters, being rich and wealthy, being in the upper class, I just want my child to have a father. I would rather spend my whole life with him Nested in this small county, as long as he is with me, it only belongs to me."

Zhao Yongzhou's eyes were cold, "Is that man you mentioned Zhang Tuxiao?"

Cuiyu suddenly raised her head, rushed over and knelt in front of Zhao Yongzhou.He mustered up his courage and said, "Xiao Wu, please, let us be together. I really don't want to go to the capital, I just want to be with him."

"...Why? Is he that good?"

"He is my child's biological father." Cuiyu burst into tears, holding Zhao Yongzhou's clothes and tremblingly crying.

Zhao Yongzhou took a slow breath, "So he is that beast."

He touched the saber at his waist and stood up.

"No! Don't!" Cuiyu hugged his leg, she was afraid of him.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing!" Shi Bai also stood up, begging for mercy tremblingly. "Your fourth sister is afraid of you like this. Don't be impulsive, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

"He killed you, people want to immerse you in a pig cage, but he doesn't come out, just watch?" Zhao Yongzhou's eyes were red, he remembered what his senior brother told him, and he also thought of his senior brother .Cuiyu would never recruit that man out, thinking of her misery at that time, he wished to kill Zhang Tuxiao.

"No no no! Xiao Wu, I beg you, if you kill him, I will have nothing to live for!" Cuiyu cried.

Zhao Yongzhou pushed her away angrily, "You are obsessed!"

He pushed open the door, and Zhang Tuxiao, who was kneeling in the yard, turned pale with fright when he saw the unsheathed sword in Zhao Yongzhou's hand.Zhang Yuming also knelt down immediately, "General, this old man's lax discipline is the old man's fault. Please calm down, General, and forgive the evil son."

"You old man! I said, why don't you dare to look at me directly? It turns out that you have done something wrong! I will kill you first, and then your son. You Zhang family will not want to walk out of this gate alive today!" Zhao Yongzhou said. The child became aggressive, and his face flushed red.

Ruan Yan quickly stopped him, grabbed his hand with one wrist, and snatched the sword away.Zhao Yongzhou stared at her, she said amusedly: "Look, I'm so impatient, I can even say such childish things. If the Patriarch is here, I'm afraid you will behave like a cat."

Zhao Yongzhou burst into anger, and when he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Ruan Yan, annoyed and consciously impolite, his blushing blushed and his neck was so thick that he had nowhere to go.

Ruan Yan said: "Things have already happened. No matter how anxious you are, it's useless. It's better to sit down and discuss what to do in the future. You said that you are going to kill people now, not to force your fourth sister and your old mother to death. Is it? You just ignore it at all?"

Pushed Zhao Yongzhou into the house, and called to Zhang's father and son in the yard: "Come in and talk quickly, the noisy neighbors must hear."

Zhang Yuming led his son in, and when passing by Ruan Yan, he gave her a grateful look.Ruan Yan smiled politely.

After entering the house, everyone opened the skylight to speak honestly.Zhao Yongzhou was held by Bai's hand to comfort him on the seat, his face darkened and he didn't say a word.Zhang's father and son sat aside and lowered their heads, not daring to vent their anger.Cuiyu first talked about how she was angry and troubled in the Chen family, how she met Zhang Tuxiao at a temple fair, how the two met by chance, knew each other and fell in love with each other.It didn’t take long for Zhang Tuxiao to go to Beijing to take the exam. At this time, Cuiyu found out that she was pregnant, and she was accidentally discovered by the Chen family that she was going to be immersed in a pig cage. He escaped punishment by taking everyone in the Chen family to his death.Zhang Tuxiao didn't know what happened to Cuiyu until he came back after failing the ranking. He didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he could only keep looking for it secretly.Until the army that fought against Julan returned.

The old man Zhang Yuming didn't know about it at all.It was only after Bai Wu sent Cuiyu and the old lady to the mansion to rest for a while, that Cuiyu and Zhang Tuxiao recognized each other, that the matter was revealed.

After Cuiyu finished speaking, she helped Zhang and his son push the responsibility far away, but Zhao Yongzhou's face was not so good-looking.The room stared wide-eyed, Bai looked at Zhang Yuming's eyes, and persuaded: "My son, this is already the case. No matter how angry you are, it is impossible to change back. Fortunately, God bless you, Nothing happened, everyone got together again in the end, and there was no danger."

Zhao Yongzhou still didn't speak, he knew that there were many places in Cuiyu's words to excuse Zhang Tuxiao and Zhang Yuming.With things said to this extent, he was no longer angry at the irresponsibility of Zhang and his son, but lamented Cuiyu's infatuation.

Zhang Yuming explained for a long time, saying how he taught his son a lesson, how he was sorry for General Bai and for being ashamed of Lord Feng, etc.Zhang Tuxiao swears and swears, saying that his sincerity to Cuiyu can be learned from the sky, and the sun and the moon can learn from it, and he will definitely be devoted to her in the future.

Talking and talking, Zhao Yongzhou still didn't say a word after talking for most of the night, which made everyone anxious.Zhang Yuming secretly looked at Ruan Yan at the door, Ruan Yan just looked at Zhao Yongzhou quietly.

At the end, Zhao Yongzhou looked at Cuiyu and asked softly: "Have you thought about it?"

Cuiyu looked into his eyes, "I've made up my mind. I want to marry him."

"No regrets?"

Cuiyu shook her head, and suddenly smiled: "I didn't dare before. My father sold me into the Chen family, and I honestly became a concubine to an 80-year-old man. I didn't dare to think about the future, I didn't dare to think about myself. I know So Xiao Wu, the person who made me start to expect happiness was actually you. At that time, I had been married into the Chen family for three years, and I had no fun at all. But when I saw you, you were clearly already in the pit of fire, braving the fire. The danger of going to hell to resist. At that time, you really shocked me. My mother and I sent you to serve your sentence and watched you walk away. At that time, I wondered whether I was also qualified to break free. The cage that imprisoned me? When I met Mr. Zhang, I knew I was in danger, but I still couldn't help but want to do it. I thought I wouldn't live long anyway. As long as I was with him, I was willing to spend my whole life in exchange for His momentary happiness. He didn't know that I was married at that time, and I lied to him. "

Cuiyu talked and laughed, and cried with a smile.At this time, Zhang Tu, who kept his head buried, smiled and also rolled down tears.

Zhao Yongzhou glanced at him, sighed and said, "You fly like moths to the flames, and burn everything because of such a man."

"Anyway, I don't have anything, and if I work hard, there is a possibility of happiness." Cuiyu said with a smile.

Zhao Yongzhou was suddenly very strange, "Who taught you these thoughts?"

Cuiyu has never read a book and grew up in a small place, how could she have these insights.

Cuiyu said with some nostalgia: "When I first escaped from the Chen family, I was also very scared and desperate. I wondered if I had done something wrong and ruined my life. I almost thought that I would die. But after reading Master saved me, enlightened me, and told me a lot of people and things that I had never heard of before. Master Nianyi is really a good person. I don’t know what the Buddha looks like, but he probably looks like Master Nianyi. …I never saw Master Nianyi again. He said he was going to find his Sacred Heart. In fact, I don’t quite understand what he said, but I think he will definitely find it.”

Zhao Yongzhou nodded, he wiped the corners of his eyes inadvertently, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Okay. Now that you have come up with this set of rhetoric, I can't force you to go with me anymore, but you remember, you don't have nothing now. You have me, and you have the right to regret it. No matter what happens in the future Whatever it is, whether I am dead or alive, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life."

Cuiyu and Zhang Tuxiao's wedding will be held the day after tomorrow, which is what Zhao Yongzhou insisted on. He only gave Zhang Yuming one day to invite rich gentry from the county and town, officials and ordinary people.Although the situation was urgent, Zhang Yuming went to do it cheerfully.

Zhang Yuming also prepared a generous gift for Ruan Yan, in order to thank her for keeping General Bai steady, controlling the overall situation, and not killing his son.

"This time I'm really thankful to the girl. A small gesture is not a respect, so please accept it with a smile."

Ruan Yan said politely: "It all depends on the arrangement of the master, the servant is just following orders."

Zhang Yuming laughed quickly and said, "Then thank Lord Feng for me! If there is a chance, the little old man will definitely visit in person and thank you in person."

He looked proud, and he seemed to have a close relationship with Feng Buran in his words, as if he had climbed a big tree from now on.

Ruan Yan has always been gentle and mature, but for some reason, she wanted to throw cold water on Mr. Zhang.

"I advise Mr. Zhang not to go to the capital. Not only that, but also don't let any of your relatives go. You also know that General Bai has a lot of thunder and rain, and now because of his sister, he will definitely take care of you. But the Patriarch is the person who is most afraid of trouble, he doesn't want to see messy branches and branches turning around. When the time comes, you can cut it and burn it, and it won't be good if it burns to you."

Zhang Yuming's face was a little stiff, "Yes, yes."
