Li Huaiyu's voice came in from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Huaiyu, come to see Miss Cui." Qiu Yue waved her hand and motioned for me to open the door. When I opened the door, Li Huaiyu was standing respectfully at the door, but Mr. Zhang behind him didn't know
Where to go.
I smiled brightly at Li Huaiyu, saluted and said, "The young general arrived, but he was not far away to greet you. I just don't know if we have delayed your military affairs?"
Li Huaiyu smiled and replied: "No, no, the military governor has already rested. I just came here, so it's okay."
Qiu Yue said from inside: "Shuangcheng, don't keep talking at the door. Please invite General Li in quickly."
So, I quickly turned sideways and gave way, Li Huaiyu cupped my hand, and stepped into the door.
Wood bowed to Qiu Yue and asked for instructions: "Miss, I'm going to take care of the donkey first, so as not to delay tomorrow's trip."
Li Huaiyu said with a smile: "I have prepared a carriage to take the lady's steps, so there is no need to use the donkey carriage."
Qiu Yue smiled and said to Li Huaiyu: "Thank you for your kindness, General. As ordinary people, our family capital is dwindling. We really can't bear to abandon this donkey cart. Let's teach this person to serve as a waiter." Then he motioned to Wood to go out. In fact, Wood was
Went out to be on guard duty.
Li Huaiyu looked at Wood's back and asked Qiu Yue: "May I ask, Miss, why you take a foreigner as your servant?"
When Qiu Yue heard what he said, her expression suddenly became serious, her face was full of displeasure, and even showed a little resentment. Li Huaiyu was really startled by her expression, and asked cautiously: "It's just down there.
If there is any offense in my words, please forgive me, Miss."
There were tears in Qiu Yue's eyes, and she sobbed slightly: "General, don't worry about it, it's just that the little girl has a humble status, what does she have to do with the general? There is no word of offense."
After hearing this, Li Huaiyu asked in surprise: "Young lady is as beautiful as a fairy, why do you want to despise yourself?"
Qiu Yue sighed and said quietly: "To be honest with the general, my mother is a Khitan, so I am also half a Hu. Nowadays, An Lushan's people are causing trouble, and the villagers are becoming more and more repelled by our family background. This
It’s also one of the reasons why we left our hometown.”
After hearing this, Li Huaiyu suddenly said: "I see, Miss, why should I care about it? Speaking of which, Miss and I have something in common. My father is also a Khitan. So, we can still be considered members of the same tribe! Haha."
"May I ask, Miss, your surname, and where is your hometown? Our elders may still know each other." Li Huaiyu continued to ask with a smile, and his mood was obviously relaxed, and the uneasiness he had felt earlier was gone.
After hearing what Li Huaiyu said, Qiu Yue's face turned from gloomy to clear, and she replied softly: "My family is kind to the Zheng family, and my hometown is Liucheng, Yingzhou."
Before Qiu Yue finished speaking, Li Huaiyu suddenly stood up and asked loudly and excitedly: "May I ask if your daughter's daughter is the fourth in the family, and she lives in Zhengjia Village, northwest of Liucheng!?"
As expected of a military commander, the sound was like a loud bell, which made my eardrums buzz. Qiu Yue was also startled and was stunned for a moment. Even the Persian cat in her arms was startled.
Li Huaiyu saw that we were all so stunned and felt rude. He quickly raised his hands and apologized: "Please forgive me, Miss, I was just too excited because my mother also has the surname Zheng and lives in Zhengjia Village northwest of Liucheng. My mother is at home.
Ranking third, I have an aunt who is the fourth child in the family. Not long after she married a businessman named Cui, she followed him to various places to make a living. My mother once told my father that she had a very good relationship with my aunt.
When their aunt left, the two of them agreed that if each gave birth to a boy or a girl, the two families would become cousins. To this end, they also swore an oath. However, there has been no news since the aunt's family left. In addition, years of war have also
There is no way to know whether this family is alive or dead." After saying this, Li Huaiyu couldn't help but look sad. But soon, his eyes shone brightly again, and he looked at Qiu Yue expectantly, hoping to get what he wanted.
Answer.
A glimmer of light flashed in Qiu Yue's eyes, but it dimmed immediately. She turned her head and looked at the ground under her feet, and murmured: "What the young general said is true, I am your aunt's daughter. Our family has been wandering outside for many years.
We also accumulated some family wealth. My family was very homesick, and my mother also wanted to fulfill her wish back then. So the family returned to Liucheng, Yingzhou. Unexpectedly, when we arrived in Youzhou, a military disaster suddenly occurred. Most of them
The family property was robbed, and my father was unfortunately killed by the thieves in order to protect us, mother and daughter. Thanks to Shuangcheng and Mu Tie'er who fought tooth and nail to protect each other, they managed to escape with their lives. My mother was so frightened by this catastrophe that she passed away soon after.
, leaving me, a poor man, alone to survive in this world." Tears poured down Cui Twelve's face, and he was choked with sobs.
After hearing this, Li Huaiyu couldn't help but shed tears. In my heart, I secretly admired Qiu Yue. I didn't expect her acting skills to be so superb. Even I was heartbroken when I heard this. Of course, this was Wood's plan.
Most of what Qiu Yue said is true. The only discrepancy is that the real Miss Cui Twelve has long been killed in the rebellion. We just used her name to achieve the purpose of entering the Hedong Jiedushi Mansion, and then
Wait for the opportunity to move again.
Of course, Li Huaiyu didn't know the truth. He accompanied the fake Miss Cui Twelve in grief. It took a long time for the two of them to stop crying.
Li Huaiyu asked with a choked voice: "Did the young lady come here just to find us?"
Qiu Yue shook her head sadly and whispered: "Now that there are wars in the north, the only way out is to escape to the south. There may be a way out. So, we decided to go south, but we didn't expect that we would be able to meet the general here.
We met by chance, maybe this was some secret arrangement. I thought to myself that I had no virtue and no ability, so how could I dare to cling to a dragon and a phoenix, and humiliate the general's family? I only hope that the general can find a well-matched lady in the future, so that he can achieve a hundred years of good things.
I have no regrets. No matter where I am, I will pray to heaven for the general."
"No, this is absolutely impossible. Although I am a warrior, I also know the word 'faith', and I dare not forget the family motto of my father. If my father learns that I have done such a breach of trust, he will definitely be heartbroken.
This is unfilial. A true man cannot stand without trust, and filial piety comes first in all virtues. Does the young lady have to fall into untrustworthiness and unfilial piety?" Li Huaiyu blushed and said with emotion. It can be seen that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart, and it was definitely not true.
It's due to greed for beauty and duplicity.
Qiu Yue stopped making any sound and just kept sobbing. Li Huaiyu was at a loss for words and was so anxious that he stamped his feet. When I saw this, I stepped forward to comfort Miss Cui and said, "Miss, please stop crying. I
I know that you are moved by General Li's loyalty. I think you should abide by the old lady's last wish. Isn't this also filial piety? Moreover, it can also avoid the unjust reputation of the young general. Besides, here
In this troubled world, how can the few of us survive on our own? Please help me and Mu Tie'er, Miss, I beg you."
In the spirit of putting on a show and doing it to the best of my ability, I trembled and cried to the ground. I cried so much that I was so shaken that I wept ghosts and gods.
Li Huaiyu was already extremely anxious, and when he saw the two of us crying together in the room, he became even more angry. At this moment, he heard a noise at the door, and a strange voice came in: "This is the army's post station.
How can there be a woman's voice of sorrow? Now, with the war imminent, who dares to be so bold and blatantly violate military discipline?" Following this unpleasant voice, a tall and thin man in a yellow robe walked in, it was the one who came to supervise the army.
eunuch.
Li Huaiyu quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Wang, this is not an outsider, but my aunt's sister. Because of the war, her family has been killed by the bandits. Now she is alone and flees here. God arranged for us to be on the road."
Let’s meet each other and recognize each other here.” So, Li Huaiyu briefly introduced the situation to Mr. Wang.
"Really? General Li, you can't break your promise, and this can also make a good story, so why not do it! However, I want to remind you that the personal relationship between children cannot override the war, and you must not only have only one child in your heart.
The beauty of the gentle village is left behind, but you have forgotten your duty of waiting, and you have failed the court's expectations and insulted your father's great reputation." Mr. Wang walked back and forth in front of Qiu Yue and me, looking at him constantly.
The expressions on our faces were uncertain, and the cold gaze from a pair of sinister eyes made me shudder.
"Yes, in compliance with Lord Wang's order, I will definitely take them back to Taiyuan Mansion to ask for instructions from Commander-in-Chief Father. In addition, Sir, please rest assured that my humble position will never let down the expectations of the court, nor will it disgrace Commander-in-Chief Father's power."
." Li Huaiyu continued to salute Mr. Wang.
"Okay, okay, this is the best. When we get to Taiyuan Mansion, I will also explain the situation to Deputy Marshal Li Jiedu. Deputy Marshal Li has always understood justice, and I think he will also be happy to see this good thing. Young Master
General, I will come to your door to ask for your wedding wine." Eunuch Wang said with a smile, the wrinkles on his white face were piled together, and he didn't know how many secrets were hidden inside.
