Chapter 404 Missing
Mrs. Zeng glared at him bitterly, "Jiahui is already dead, why are you pretending to be like this now?" She stood up and walked out angrily.
Xia Zihan glanced at her father sympathetically, and hurriedly ran forward to help Mrs. Zeng, "Grandma, please slow down." Then she persuaded in a low voice, "My father is just a piece of wood. He doesn't understand the world. You and a piece of wood No matter how angry you are, it’s just hurting your own body and bones.”
When Xia Shiming heard this, his face was filled with embarrassment.
It turns out that in the heart of his precious daughter, he is just a blockhead who doesn’t know the world?
Is he really that unreasonable?
Maybe so.
Back then, if he had only known a little bit about the ways of the world, maybe Chu Jiahui would not have died.
It was his neglect that killed her.
The old mother-in-law hated him in her heart, and she should, because he had lost her only daughter.
He sighed, looked at Chu Jiahui's memorial tablet with regretful eyes, and then followed him out.
In the evening, Mrs. Zeng ordered the kitchen to add dishes to the servants, set up two more tables, and called Old Man Bai, Master Qi, Manager Lu and several others to accompany Xia Shiming Zeng Yiran to have a few drinks.
The table of the women's family was also very lively. The twins were sitting on a special high wooden chair for children. The second child was still obediently letting the wet nurse bring vegetables to him, but the third child could not help but crawl up the table with all his strength. , want to sit at the table and eat.
Zhuo slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Mud Monkey, give me a good meal. If you don't be honest, you will be hungry for the whole day."
"Mom, hello, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, hug me." He stretched out his hand to hug Xia Zihan, who was sitting next to him.
Xia Zihan stared at his oily hand holding half a roasted chicken leg, with disgust on her face. She told Si Cao, "Bring a wet handkerchief over here."
"Hmph." Lao Gao pouted, "Sister-in-law is bad. Brother, come back and help me beat you."
"He doesn't dare." Xia Zihan said with a smile, took the handkerchief that Silk Grass handed over, carefully wiped the oil stains on his little hands, and threw away the half of the chicken drumstick he had eaten.
The third child struggled a few times and curled his lips, "I still want to eat."
"If you want me to hug you, you can't eat chicken legs. Otherwise, I won't hug you." Throwing the dirty handkerchief to the maid, she picked up the third child and let him sit on her lap. "Be honest. You are not allowed to eat vegetables with your hands.”
The third child fell off somewhere, and it was as if there was a bug under his buttocks. He was twisting and twisting hard, and he threatened Xia Zihan in his mouth, "Sister-in-law is not good, brother will come back, Let him beat you, tell your brother not to like his sister-in-law, but to like the third child.”
"Bah, you little brat, you know how to sow dissension even when you are little. When your brother comes back, ask him to deal with you." Xia Zihan threatened back in a funny tone.
The third child's little mouth dropped, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Zhuo said disgustedly, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you still aggrieved? Let me tell you, when your eldest brother comes back, you will be the one to deal with it, not your sister-in-law. Your eldest brother is too late to care about your sister-in-law. How dare you beat her?" This time, it was the wrong thing.”
"Mom, give me a hug."
Wow, the whole family is bullying him and bullying him for being young.
"Mom, eldest brother, second brother, I don't like it. Give me a younger brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second child's sinister eyes drifted over. His voice was obviously crisp, but his expression must be pretending to be deep, "It's annoying, annoying, annoying."
"The second brother hates it. The second brother pulls daddy and doesn't rub his buttocks."
This is a new curse word he has learned.
Xia Zihan spat out the food he had just eaten with a puff.
Fortunately, she turned her head in time so she didn't stain the entire table, but the high chair next to her was stained by spray.
When the third child saw that his chair was dirty, he glanced at her angrily and said, "My sister-in-law is dirty. My sister-in-law does not rub her buttocks when she is having sex."
Xia Zihan's face was so dark.
Now she knows what it means for a villain to be with a woman, and this villain definitely refers to the third child.
Mr. Zhuo slapped the third child on the back of the head and said, "Don't use bad words while eating."
"Oh..." The third child nodded obediently.
The third child is also smart. After offending his sister-in-law, he cannot offend his mother again, otherwise, he will become unlovable.
Not even adults like it.
Xia Zihan couldn't eat anymore, and her mind was filled with the shadow of Baba. Until she returned to the yard, the shadow of Baba finally disappeared.
But Si Cao said worriedly, "Princess, you don't have much to eat at night. I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles for you, Princess?"
"No, I'm hungry. I'll just eat some pastries to cushion my bed." He then ordered, "You go down, I'll be alone for a while."
"Yes, Princess."
Silk Grass didn't think much and retreated.
As soon as the door was closed, in less than a minute, there was another knock from Silk Grass, "Princess, Ma Bao is here, saying he has something important to report."
"Let him come in quickly." As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Bao walked in from outside the door. He bent his knees and knelt in front of Xia Zihan. His eyes turned red and he said, "County Master, Master... Something happened to him.”
"What..." She was startled, feeling uneasy deep in her heart, "He is injured?"
"No, he disappeared." Ma Bao's voice was trembling. It seemed that he was worried, "The emperor passed away. When the master heard the news, he was anxious to death and wanted to return to the capital to see the county master, but The master won’t let me.”
"The master said that if you return to Beijing without permission from the emperor, you will be caught."
It is not a trivial matter for a general who is guarding a foreign country to return to the capital without permission. Someone might find out about you, or frame you and accuse you of treason or something.
At that time, they only received the news that the emperor had passed away, but not the news of the Lu family's defeat. Chu Xuanyu was worried that the Lu family would use this as an excuse to eliminate the Chu family, so he did not allow Chu Jingqi to return to Beijing privately.
Otherwise, he would also like to return to Beijing privately.
The emperor passed away, and there would be chaos in the capital. He wanted to return to the capital to personally protect the safety of his wife and twin sons.
However, he is a general and cannot return to Beijing privately. Otherwise, not only will he not be able to protect his wife and son, he may also harm their family by making decisions without authorization.
And Chu Xuanyu also believed that the people he left in the capital were enough to protect Zhuo, mother and son.
But even so, Chu Xuanyu spent a lot of self-control not to return to Beijing.
Chu Jingqi, on the other hand, was so worried that he couldn't sleep. He was always worried that something would happen to Xia Zihan and Zhuo. He had been at the border for almost three years and had not seen his Ayu for three years. His Ayu was about to hold a wedding in three months. And haircut ceremony.
His Ayu has grown up, and I don’t know what she looks like. She must be more beautiful than before, right?
He missed Ayu so much. He wanted to return to Beijing and put Ayu under his nose, so that he could rest assured.
But he couldn't return to Beijing.
At least, he couldn't leave Shuimu City until the Tatars were beaten to the point where they no longer dared to come to Dasheng to cause trouble.
Unless he can kill all the leaders of the twelve tribes of the Tatars and force the Tatars to sign a peace agreement with Dasheng.
That way, he can go back to Beijing and never come to Shuimu City again.
However, how easy is it to kill the leaders of twelve Tatar tribes?
"A few days later, without consulting anyone, the master left a letter and took Leopard and Tiger to the Tatar tribe."
"In the beginning, my master would fly pigeons to report that he was safe once every three days, but in the past month or so... there has been no news from my master. I sent secret guards to the Tatar tribe to investigate, but they could not find any trace of my master. .”
"My servant was worried about his master, so...he hid it from the master, hurried back and told the county master."
Xia Zihan's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble a few times, "How could it be possible? Not long ago, Shengdi sent me his letter..."
"That was all written by the little master in advance. The little master also asked us to hide it from you and not tell you. We didn't dare to tell you a few times before, but now... County Lord, I beg you, slave, go and save Save the master, now, only you can save the master.”
The master wants to save his master, but he is the general guarding Shuimu City and cannot leave Shuimu City at will.
As for Xia Zihan, there were Hua Shexu, the secret guard Chu Cang and others, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts, and Xia Zihan himself was also highly skilled in martial arts.
If she agreed to go to the Tatar tribe to save her master, maybe his chance of survival would be better.
Although there would be danger when the county lord goes, he can no longer think about it so much. Whether he is selfish or self-interested, in short, in his heart, his master is the most important. As long as he can save his master , he is willing to wait for his master to come back and accept the punishment for putting the county master in danger.
Xia Zihan's hands trembled slightly. She clenched her fists hard and tried to calm down. But after hearing about Chu Jingqi's accident, her heart was already confused and anxious, and she couldn't calm down no matter what.
She looked at Ma Bao and said, "Get up."
"If the county master doesn't agree, the servant won't get up." For the sake of his master, he actually acted shamelessly.
I hope the master will not beat him to death in the future.
"I promise, you get up." Xia Zihan said,
Even if he doesn't beg, she will go to save Aqi when she learns that he is missing, but...she can't be anxious or panic, otherwise...
I'm afraid that if I can't save Aqi, I'll take her and the people she brought with me.
She is not afraid of death for those who have died once, but she cannot ignore the lives of those around her.
"You go down and have something to eat, and then take us to Water Dusk City."
She thought in her heart that she shouldn't be in a hurry, but when it came to making a decision, she was still a little hasty and actually wanted to leave for Shuimu City overnight.
She was so upset that when she thought that Chu Jingqi had been caught and was being tortured, she could no longer care about that and wanted to set off immediately to save him.
Anyway, there are still so many days on the road, how to save people, let’s think about it on the way. She needs to identify the person who is going, explain what needs to be explained, and...
After Ma Bao went out, Xia Zihan hurriedly called Hua Snake in. Without any nonsense, he said directly, "Gather all the secret guards, I want to leave the city."
"Let the fox go too. He has the best qinggong and is best at tracking hidden skills." Hua She said.
Xia Zihan hummed.
She originally planned to let the fox go, as well as Chu Lin. Chu Lin also learned the fox's skills, and her martial arts improved a lot than before.
