Brother Ting, with red eyes, reluctantly sent Yin Xiaoxiao away.
Yin Xiaoxiao was free and easy, and the reluctance in her heart was quickly replaced by the joy of riding a horse.
When he returned to Quanzhou this time, Yin Xiaoxiao was accompanied by his own personal guards. There were more than a hundred guards in total, half of them were sent by Brother Lin and the other half were sent by Brother Ting.
There are more than a hundred strong and powerful soldiers accompanying them. How can those blind bandits dare to cause trouble in such a battle?
Therefore, the two-day journey went very smoothly.
However, Yin Xiaoxiao always had a strange feeling of being watched. This feeling became more and more obvious after entering Quanzhou. The person being watched was obviously a master, and his whereabouts were secretive and extremely difficult to detect.
Yin Xiaoxiao felt vigilant in her heart. In order to be on guard against snipers from the dark, she stopped riding and got into a specially made solid carriage. There were numerous guards guarding her on both sides.
In this way, the feeling of being secretly watched finally dissipated.
Entering Quanzhou, Brother Lin came to greet him personally.
Mother and son met in the post house, and they were extremely happy for each other.
"Mom," Brother Lin, who was tanned a bit, grinned and showed two rows of white teeth: "You have been staying in Fuzhou for two months. If I hadn't written to urge you, you would have stayed until the end of the year."
There was some complaint in his words.
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled and coaxed her son: "How could this happen? Even if you didn't write a letter, I planned to come back."
Brother Lin snorted softly, clearly showing his disbelief.
Yin Xiaoxiao sighed softly: "Brother Lin, I know you are a little upset. You are my biological son, how can I not love you? But think about it, Brother Ting has lost his parents since he was a child. In the palace,
The emperor and the empress are also estranged from him. The only elder he is closest to is me. I stayed in Fuzhou for a longer period of time to spend more time with him and to make him feel better."
"From now on, I will live with you and your wife. Even if you see that I am tired of you, I will not leave."
Brother Lin rolled his eyes: "Cousin Ting just wrote a letter and ordered it to be delivered to me immediately. He said that you promised to go to Fuzhou to celebrate the New Year this year."
Yin Xiaoxiao: “…”
This Brother Ting!
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't laugh or cry: "When did I agree to him? He said it himself, and I didn't agree."
All in all, they managed to coax a smile out of their son. Mother and son got into the carriage together affectionately and headed for the commander's residence.
The moment she opened the door and got into the carriage, Yin Xiaoxiao was keenly aware of two eyes staring at her, and quickly glanced back.
A man's figure passed by in the corner of his eye.
At a quick glance, Yin Xiaoxiao could not clearly see the figure of the man, let alone his appearance. She only saw that the man was wearing the most ordinary gray military uniform and had a big beard.
Strange, where does that long-lost familiarity come from?
…
After getting on the carriage, Yin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and didn't say anything for a long time.
Brother Lin asked with concern: "Mom, why haven't you spoken? Are you tired from traveling too hard?"
Yin Xiaoxiao calmed down and smiled casually: "I'm a little tired.
The fact that she was being followed was just her own vague feeling. She had not found the person who was being followed, nor had she found any evidence. It was better not to tell Brother Lin.
Maybe she was too suspicious.
Brother Lin saw that Yin Xiaoxiao's brows were tired and said nothing more. It was not until he returned to the mansion and got off the carriage that Brother Lin smiled and said: "Mom, I have a happy event to tell you. Ayun is already happy."
What?
Yin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed: "We are really happy? How long has it been?"
Brother Lin grinned and said: "It's been more than two months. Ayun said that after three months and the fetal condition is stable, it's not too late to talk. So I never said anything."
"You kid, it's okay not to tell anyone about such a happy event. How come you're hiding it from me too?" Yin Xiaoxiao was so excited that she couldn't remember anything about being followed by a stranger. She said happily: "That's great.
.I’m going to see Ayun right now.”
After saying that, he walked towards the house.
Yin Xiaoxiao walked very fast, and Brother Lin almost couldn't catch up. He ran a few steps in a funny way: "Mom, don't worry, wait for me."
Yin Xiaoxiao didn't even look back: "I was walking in a hurry, but you were the one who was walking slowly and not looking like a man. If you don't hurry up and follow me, I'll have to wait for you."
Brother Lin: "..."
My mother is so tough! Brother Lin followed him with a frustrated look on his face.
All the soldiers secretly became happy.
Princess Fujian is still so cheerful and straightforward, and has never changed.
…
Tens of meters outside the house, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Among them was a tall man. This man wore a gray military uniform and had a large beard on his chin. The beard was messy and covered half of his face, making it almost impossible to tell what his appearance was. Only a pair of eyes, which were exceptionally bright and sharp.
At this time, those eyes were staring greedily and eagerly at the figure of Princess Fujian in the distance. Until the slender figure entered the palace, she still stood there and did not move for a long time.
The eyes suddenly flashed with water.
The man closed his eyes hard and forced back tears.
The crowd watching the excitement dispersed without any hesitation. The man did not want to attract attention and left with the crowd.
This man seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact his pace was much faster than that of ordinary people. Within a moment, he disappeared into the crowd. After a stick of incense, the man entered a house with three entrances.
The gatekeeper immediately stepped forward and respectfully called "Fifth Master".
The man hummed casually and entered the study without stopping.
This house is quite close to the Commander's Office in Quanzhou, only two streets away. It was once the residence of a maritime merchant and was resold three years ago.
The servants who were guarding the house had no idea who the master was. They only knew that his surname was Xie and he was the fifth in rank. The servants called him Mr. Xie Wu.
Mr. Xie Wu quickly entered the study and closed the door tightly.
There are several bookshelves in this study room, and the bookshelves are full of books. It can be seen that the owner loves reading. In addition, there is also a training room in the house, which contains various weapons.
Mr. Xie Wu, who was both civilized and military, sat silently in his study room, writing and writing with trembling hands. Soon, the appearance of a heroic and pretty woman was sketched in his pen.
This woman still looks like she did when she was about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bright smile. Wearing a military uniform and holding a long sword in her hand, she looks very heroic and beautiful.
"Xiaoxiao," the man murmured in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao..."
Soon, the low murmurs turned into cries.
The man sheds tears easily because he has not reached the point of sadness. The man's suppressed cry is like the cry of a beast that has been separated from the group and lost its spouse.
Tears fell on the drawing paper drop by drop, leaving an ink stain on the woman's portrait.
