Chapter 270: The building is empty
At the entrance of the courtyard, a group of young men were sitting on horseback.
Shen Yu looked down at the baby in the cradle, his brows frowned slightly, and the reluctance in his eyes flashed away.
He stared at the child and didn't speak, and the young people behind him dared not urge him.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Tu shook his head helplessly and lowered his voice to persuade him.
"General, Taohua Town is close to the imperial capital. It only takes half a day to go back and forth. This child is destined to be with us. When we look back, we can come back to see him."
Hearing this, Shen Yu's expression only looked better twice.
"Yeah." He nodded, "You're right."
After a pause, Shen Yu withdrew his gaze, but there was a low and hoarse voice in his voice.
He said lightly, "If Xiaowan could give birth to me..."
Halfway through his words, he didn't finish the following words.
Xiang Tu didn't hear it clearly and was confused when he saw that Shen Yu had turned his horse's head and rushed out with a whip.
Xiang Tu didn't think much about it and took his brothers to follow quickly.
Shen Yu did not look back, so he would never know that just as the sound of horse hooves sounded, someone in the room in the distance pushed open the window.
Through the gap in the window, a gentle and burning gaze fell on Shen Yu's back.
The sun was rising, and the sun was filled with golden warmth. The warmth fell on his back, but in a moment, it disappeared from the end of his sight.
"Shen Yu, I wish you happiness and good luck in the rest of your life."
Wen Wan choked and said this, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but gush out.
It turns out that I really love someone, even after separation, I hope he can live a better life.

The heat of summer gradually dissipates, and the fruits of autumn inadvertently climb over the fields.
There are also osmanthus trees in the back garden of Shenfu. In previous years, few people would pay attention to this osmanthus tree.
I don’t know where General Shen got the interest this year. In the past few months in the imperial capital, except for going out for work, he would come to take care of these osmanthus trees from time to time when he was resting in the mansion.
After several months of careful maintenance, these osmanthus trees bloomed extremely vigorously during this Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
Xiang Tu and a few servants took the fallen osmanthus under the tree, and in a short while he gained a big handful of them.
He was greedy and immediately sent the osmanthus to the kitchen and asked Chu Zheng to make fresh osmanthus cakes.
The osmanthus cake was freshly baked and Xiang Tu held the plate and sent it into the study.
"General, try the freshly prepared osmanthus cake, it tastes so good."
He placed the plate on the desk and saw the map Shen Yu was studying at a glance.
Xiang Tu couldn't help but mutter, "General, please take a break. We have been searching for the clues in the Cangqimi box for several months, but we haven't found any treasure. Maybe the clues in the box are simply a scam."
Shen Yu grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake, "Is it a lie? This is the last place. If there is not even this place, then I will explain it to the emperor and go back to the border city to guard the border."
He took a bite of the osmanthus cake, was stunned for a moment, and looked at the earth with sharp eyes.
"Osmanthus cake? Where did the osmanthus come from?"
Xiang Tu smiled guiltily, "The osmanthus tree fell from the osmanthus tree! The flowers fell by themselves, not me!"
"Ha," Shen Yu said coldly: "It's better not picking it from you. You must dare to touch my tree and see if I won't peel your skin."
Xiang Tu curled his lips dissatisfiedly and muttered in a low voice, "Just a few osmanthus trees, look at what you gave to your baby."
Shen Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and asked directly: "Is there still many osmanthus cakes?"
Xiang Tu: "Yes, Cook Zheng has made a lot of it." Shen Yu didn't raise his head, "Put the rest, you can go there and send it to Taohua Town."
"Taohua Town?"
When Xiang Tu suddenly heard this place name, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was the small town they passed by a few months ago.
At that time, there was a general in the town holding a child who was reluctant to let go.
Xiang Tu understood, but then he curled his lips, "General, do you want to give Yan Sui the osmanthus cake?"
Shen Yu responded.
Xiang Tu couldn't help laughing, "General, that child should be only three or four months old now. How can such a older child eat osmanthus cake? He can only drink grandma!"
Shen Yu paused and raised his head in a daze.
He seemed to think for a while, then his face turned red with a rare blush.
He coughed twice, "Will forget it, wait until this time next year."
"Next year?" Xiang Tu sneered again, "At this time next year, we should be in the border town."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
However, Xiang Tu also sighed in his heart. His general really liked that child, and he even arranged for next year's matter.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work either.
Shen Yu took a bite of the osmanthus cake in annoyance, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Then you ask Cook Zheng to make goat milk with osmanthus flowers, and then boil it and send it to Taohua Town."
Xiang Tu: "..."
OK, he is worthy of being his general, and even thinking about this method is enough.
*
After receiving the general's order, Xiang Tu did not dare to delay and immediately found someone to do it.
Two hours later, Xiang Tu brought three layers of inner and three layers of outer and outer, tightly wrapped osmanthus goat milk, and rushed to Taohua Town with a quick horse.
When night fell, it returned to the earth and rushed into the study with a heavy face.
Shen Yu had already circled out the last place he was looking for on the map and was considering which way to go to his destination.
Xiang Tu spoke as soon as he entered the door, "General, the Wu Xiang family is no longer in Taohua Town."
Shen Yu's hand trembled, and a drop of ink fell on the map, leaving a little dirty.
"No?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does it mean? Their whole family has left?"
Nodded, "I have inquired about it with everyone in the town. It turns out that Wu Xiang's wife is not his first wife at all."
"The one living in that yard was originally a little widow. The little widow, who was pregnant with her husband's death, looked at Wu Xiang, who lived next door. Only then did the two of them live together."
"Then Wu Xiang was just coming to the imperial capital to participate in the spring examination. Perhaps he was afraid of the thief, so he didn't even participate in the spring examination. As soon as the child was about to be a month old, he took the little widow to leave Taohua Town."
"These are all said by the residents of the town. It is said that after Wu Xiang agreed to go back to his hometown, he married the little widow and entered the door."
It is not surprising that Wu Xiang returned to his hometown.
What shocked Shen Yu was the matter between Wu Xiang and the little widow.
Shen Yu frowned and lowered his eyes to think for a moment, "You just said... that little widow is pregnant with a child and looks at Wu Xiang?"
Xiang Tu nodded in a daze, "Yes, I don't know if the little widow was born so beautiful, or if Wu Xiang was just a bite, you can see it like this. This taste is really..."
"Even the little maid next to the little widow, who is young and in her prime, is no better than a widow who is pregnant with a child. Even the Wu Xiang turned a blind eye? Did he not look at the little maid, he looked at the little widow?"
