Chapter 163 Returning to the hometown of wine dreams
Outside the manor, Fu Jing got on his horse and looked back at the yard.
He knew she was inside, he could see her when he walked in.
His life and death are unknown. If he can come back alive, he will promise her a long life.
If he can't come back, then I hope she will grow up well, see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the prosperity of the world, and still remember him.
He is not so generous and hopes she will forget him.
Don’t forget him…
——————————————
Half a month later, the news came out that Fu Jingchao was not dead. Many people were disappointed, while many others breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle did not end until November. The two sides fought back and forth, each with their own victory or defeat.
Winter is coming soon, and if it doesn't end yet, the situation will become more difficult.
When Shen Guijiu came with the wine, Shen Xingwan was thinking about something in the study.
Shen Guijiu didn't let the maid make a sound, leaning against the door and looking at her.
"Who are you worried about?"
Shen Xingwan was startled. Looking at the still suave and cynical Young Master Shen Qi, he said in a calm tone, "Why are you here?"
Shen Guijiu walked in and sat down, "You still don't welcome me as always."
"Don't you never like me?" Shen Xingwan replied.
Shen Guijiu said cheerfully, "I really didn't like it at first. I thought it was another smart girl who was dazzled by wealth and came here to die."
"Now I think you are pretty good, you can reach this far on your own."
Shen Xingwan had no expression on her face as she listened. Shen Guijiu had not really done anything to her except being too unruly.
So although she didn't like him, she didn't have much opinion against him.
"If you have nothing to do, come to the Three Treasures Hall. Tell me what you are doing here?" Shen Xingwan asked straight to the point.
"You are really direct." Shen Guijiu said helplessly, "I brought some good wine to you for a drink."
"Then I'm afraid you've found the wrong person." Shen Xingwan didn't buy it.
Shen Guijiu put away the careless look on his face and said seriously, "I'm leaving, just treat it as farewell. Don't be so heartless."
Shen Xingwan finally asked the kitchen to make a pot of chicken soup and bring it to him.
While cooking vegetables and meat, drink wine.
Shen Gui drank one glass of wine after another. He seemed to be in a bad mood and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"Where are you going?" Shen Xingwan asked. Shen Guijiu didn't feel right today, as if he was a different person.
Shen Guilai chuckled lightly and said, "Did you know that Guijiu is actually just my word? It means returning to the dream hometown of Jiujiu."
"Where do you think my hometown is?"
Shen Xingwan remembered the rumors about this Young Master Shen Qi. To be precise, he was not the grandson of the Shen family, but the grandson.
It is said that she was sent back by the married daughter of the Shen family, but because she was raised by the eldest master personally and recognized by his name, she was always treated the same as a legitimate son.
Shen Xingwan guessed that the hometown in the corner of his mouth should be the place where he was born.
"I can't guess." Shen Xingwan said.
Shen Guijiu picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, "It's really boring. You are not fun at all."
Shen Xingwan looked at him without saying anything.
Shen Guijiu surrendered first and said helplessly, "In that case, let's get acquainted again."
"I am Li Xi, and I would like to ask my sister for your advice in the future."
Shen Xingwan's eyes flashed, "Xi, it means dawn, what a good name."
Shen Guijiu's face was stained with drunkenness, and he laughed wildly, "You are so smart, don't you have anything to ask?"
Shen Xingwan was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Does King Li Cu of Fosang have something to do with you?"
The smile on Shen Guijiu's face grew stronger. He tilted his head and thought for a while, "It must have something to do with it. Logically speaking, I should call him Father."
Fosang, a dependent country, has independent power. Under normal circumstances, Daqi never interferes in the affairs there.
But when Daqi needs it, he is definitely a sharp sword in the emperor's hand, able to strike wherever he points, with overwhelming combat effectiveness.
Compared with a vassal state, it is more like a wolf raised by the emperor, only taking orders from the emperor.
The Fosang people are naturally tall and good at fighting.
Since the beginning of the Northwest War, Shen Xingwan has read the original work word for word over and over again, trying to piece together more useful information.
She guessed that in the original book, the reason why the emperor was determined to kill the Prince of Zhennan was for unknown reasons.
The biggest confidence should be that he still holds Fosang. Even if the Zhennan Palace is gone, Fosang can fight and make up for the lack of combat power.
"What is the relationship between Fosang and the Shen family?" Shen Xingwan asked as calmly as possible.
Shen Guijiu chuckled, "The old lady should have told you about the past of the Shen family."
Shen Xingwan nodded.
"My grandmother was the daughter of Shen Yunxing, the sixth daughter of the Shen family." Shen Guijiu fell into memories.
When the previous dynasty was in crisis, Shen Yun'an, the third daughter of the Shen family, stepped forward to plan the world with her own hands, and became famous.
In fact, many children of the Shen family came forward.
At that time, the Fosang clan took advantage of the chaos to cause chaos in the southwest. Miss Shen Liu, who had loved the art of war since she was a child, stepped forward and served as a military advisor as a woman.
Four wins over Fosang.
When the country was newly built and the country was weak, Fosang was challenging the chaos and intended to take advantage of the situation.
Miss Shen Liu was personally visited by the then Prime Minister and persuaded to take action again on the grounds of world justice.
Three wins over Fosang.
Rather than losing to Daqi, it is better to say that Fosang was defeated by Miss Shen Liu.
"More than ten years later, the new King Fosang married Miss Shen Liu's daughter, who was my grandmother." Shen Gui said, "In Fosang, there is no need to hate Miss Shen Liu if you admire her. The strong one in Fosang is the king."
The Fosang people are warlike and aggressive, so they have always respected the strong.
As for why Shen Guijiu was sent back to the Shen Mansion, that is another part of the struggle between the Fosang royal family.
Shen Guijiu had no intention of saying more.
"The northwest is in chaos, and the situation in the world may change drastically. It's time for me to go back." Shen Guijiu said quietly.
If Shen Guijiu can become King Fosang, it will be a good thing for the Shen family.
Although the most ruthless is the royal family.
But with Shen Guihui's relationship with the Shen family, many things are at least easy to talk about.
Shen Guijiu looked at Shen Xingwan with a complicated expression, "As the holder of this generation of Patriarch's Order, I hope you will not disappoint."
There should be many places where we can cooperate in the future.
If he can have a future...
When leaving, Shen Xingwan stood on the steps and said, "Have a nice trip."
"Oh, then you'd better wish me peace." Shen Guijiu chuckled.
What he will face when he returns this time is another bloody storm.
Returning to the hometown of drunken dreams... He rarely dreams about Fosang.
If possible, there is nothing wrong with being a heavy drinker for the rest of your life.
Shen Xingwan looked at his back. The next time he saw him again, he should call him Li Xi.
After tonight, Shen Xingwan knew more clearly why the Daqi royal family kept suppressing the clan.
These clans that have gone through several dynasties do have terrifying influence and heritage.
