The lights in the room were blown out when Wu Xing went out. The night is also dark, without moonlight. The room was dark and nothing could be seen.
Mingrui looked at the ceiling and thought for a while. After thinking for a while, he looked at his brother next to him, smiled, and said close to Mingjin's ear: "Brother, mother sent someone to pick us up. We are going home. If you don't wake up, I will No matter what, I went home."
Mingjin jumped up like a spring, took Mingrui's hand and shouted, "Brother, what you just said is true. Did mother really send someone to take us back?"
Mingrui nodded and whispered what had just happened to Mingjin: "We can go back to the capital tomorrow. We will be able to see my mother soon." Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the person who will pick them up finally arrived. .
Mingjin wanted to get out of bed to pack her things, but Mingrui held her down: "Auntie said she would pack things later. There is no rush now." Mingrui felt that there were still things to deal with. So wait for Xia Yao's further instructions.
Mingjin suppressed the excitement in her heart after hearing this: "Brother, let's talk!" Mingrui nodded. He couldn't sleep anyway, not even if the two brothers had a conversation.
Xia Yao returned to the house and saw Tianlong¡¯s letter to him. Xia Yao nodded after reading the letter. It was the handwriting of the princess. Moreover, the letter also contained a code that only she could understand. After reading the letter, Xia Yao said to the three Wuxing people: "You go out first. I have something to discuss with Shopkeeper Hua."
Wuxing led the two people out to the yard. Xia Yao said to Tianlong using a soundproof method: "Why do you want the commander to come to pick up Mingrui and Mingjin in person? Commander, although I have been away from the Shenji Camp for more than ten years, I am also in the Shenji Camp. I have been here for more than 20 years, and I know the rules of the Shenji Camp very well. I hope the commander will not find any excuses to interfere with me. I want to listen to the truth. "The princess believes that the commander will accept her request to pick up the two children. . That's because the princess doesn't understand Shenji Camp. But she was different. Xia Yao was very sure that the commander came here because he was drunk and not interested in drinking. It should be what you want to gain through two children. Otherwise, even if the princess's face is as high as the sky, she will at most ask the commander to send a few experts to serve as guards, but how can he personally take action. When the commander comes over, there must be other matters.
Tianlong also told Xia Yao what happened in the capital in a few words. If Xia Yao didn't agree with him taking Mingrui and Mingjin away, it would be impossible for him to take them away by force.
Xia Yao looked grim: "If my guess is correct, Qi Yu should not be dead. Right? Your Excellency wants to use Mingrui and Mingjin as bait to lure Qi Yu out." Only such a person can make the commander take action. . But she couldn't agree to let Mingrui and Mingjin be used as bait. The two brothers are very dangerous. Xia Yao doesn't allow it.
Tianlong did not deny: "According to the news, Qi Yu has arrived in Haikou. When he arrived in Haikou, he was waiting for Mingrui and Mingjin. With Qi Yu's hatred for the princess, he will definitely come out to catch Mingrui and Mingjin himself. Even if we can't catch him alive, we will still have him dead. If we miss this opportunity, we will definitely have to work harder to catch Qi Yu in the future."
Xia Yao's face turned dark, as she expected: "I don't agree."
Tianlong glanced at Xia Yao: "Once you enter the Shenji Camp, all living beings are members of the Shenji Camp, regardless of life or death." The meaning of this sentence is that Xia Yao cannot disobey orders. Even Xia Yao has been away from Shenji Camp for more than ten years now. As long as an order is given, it must be followed.
Xia Yao said coldly: "I have not forgotten. After entering the Shenji Camp, I will be a member of the Shenji Camp in life and a ghost in the Shenji Camp in death. When I return to the capital, I can be at the disposal of the commander. If you want to kill someone, I have nothing to say to you, Xia Yao. But if you want me to allow Mingrui and Mingjin to be used as bait for Qi Yu, then you can do it by force."
Tianlong looked at Xia Yao: "Since you have been with Princess Wenwan for more than ten years, you have already regarded her as your master. You have even forgotten the purpose of Shenji Camp."
Xia Yao is not afraid of Tianlong's threat at all: "I believe you know which one is more important, Qi Yu or the princess. If the princess knows that you used Mingrui and Mingjin as bait, I tell you, the princess will definitely be able to It will cause chaos in the world. I'm not threatening you. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. "If it's normal. No matter what happens, you can reason with the princess. Once the safety of your husband and children is involved, the princess will not listen to any reason.
Tianlong didn't expect Xia Yao's reaction to be so intense. Who is more important, Qi Yu or the princess? This is a question that does not need to be answered: "Qi Yu is too harmful. You should know that as long as Qi Yu exists, both Mingrui and Mingjin will be in danger. There is no danger now, but it does not mean there will be no danger in the future. This is like hiding in the dark. The poisonous snake will kill you. If you don't remove it, the princess and the two children will be in trouble. You should know that with you and Wu Xing by your side.??So many masters. Do you think Qi Yu can succeed? "If it wasn't for the sake of safety, Tianlong wouldn't have taken action personally. Tianlong didn't know whether Wenwan would cause chaos in the world, but if the child was injured, Princess Wenwan would definitely not spare him.
Xia Yao originally insisted, but after hearing these next words, she fell into hesitation. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will miss you. This Qi Yu is really too harmful. In addition to being uneasy: "Can't we use a substitute?"
Tianlong shook his head: "It's useless. Qi Yu won't show up without getting exact information." It was useful to use a substitute at first. This time Qi Yu took action in person. If he didn't get confirmation, the substitute wouldn't be able to lure Qi Yu out. Moreover, the two children, especially Mingrui, cannot be replaced by substitutes at all. Therefore, don¡¯t raise your children to be too good.
Xia Yao heard the exact news: "We have no spies here." There is absolutely no problem with the loyalty of the people around them. It was impossible to leak the news.
Tianlong still shook his head: "The magnanimity of the two children, especially Mingrui, where can I find a child like Mingrui? You can't hide it." In just a moment, this kid could guess his identity. How can this child be replaced by ordinary people?
Thinking of this, Tianlong felt a little regretful: "If this boy wasn't the princess's son, I really wanted him to take my place."
Xia Yao vetoed it: "Don't even think about it, the princess won't agree." Not to mention the princess, even she was reluctant to bear the pain of Mingrui. Things in Shenji Camp are very dangerous and there are many tests. Furthermore, Mingrui's dream since childhood was to become a general. He would definitely not be willing to let him go to the Shenji Camp and live a life where he could not show his true colors to others.
Seeing Xia Yao's attitude, Tianlong stopped thinking: "I will bring someone to pick you up tomorrow. You have to think about it yourself." After saying that, he disappeared into the house.
Xia Yao looked at the empty room and felt a little bored. No. Qi Yu's danger has always been there. If I agree, the two children will be in danger. Neither the left nor the right, which is very annoying.
Wu Xing knew Xia Yao's dilemma and thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, Shopkeeper Hua is right. If Qi Yu is not removed, the safety of the two children will be a problem. We can't stay with the children forever. Qi Yu Yu's harm is really great, even if he takes a little risk, he will definitely get rid of him." This is not Wu Xing's boast. With so many experts around, you can absolutely guarantee that nothing will go wrong. As long as Qi Yu appears, there will be no return for him.
Xia Yao also knows that this is a good idea. Intellectually I know I should do this, but emotionally I cannot accept it. She was afraid of what might happen. In case anything happens to the child. How could she explain it to the princess? And she couldn't hold it herself.
Wu Xing thought for a while and then said: "Otherwise, we will call Mingrui over and tell Mingrui what happened. Listen to Mingrui's opinion." Wu Xing and Xia Yao also always put Mingrui on an equal footing. status. Mingrui never hides anything. Wu Xing's intention in this matter was to obey Shopkeeper Hua. As long as you are sure to capture Qi Yu while preserving the child, you will have the best of both worlds.
Mingrui heard Wu Xing calling him over, and Mingjin also wanted to follow. Wuxing refused to let Mingjin follow. Just as Mingrui was about to speak, he heard Wu Xing shaking his head at him, saying no.
It¡¯s not that Wuxing doesn¡¯t want to treat Mingjin as an adult. But Mingjin's endurance is far worse than Mingrui's. Mingrui can accept this. But Mingjin and Wuxing are not optimistic about it. Wuxing also agrees that Mingjin is a good boy, and he will definitely be extraordinary in time. But things are urgent now, and problems will arise if this matter is not done right. He didn't dare to take any chances.
Mingrui comforted Mingjin and followed Wuxing to the house opposite. Mingjin was left with a look of unwillingness. Mingjin is really unwilling to give in now. Why should you hide something from yourself?
Looking at the solemn expressions of Xia Yao and Wuxing, something bad flashed through her heart: "Aunt, uncle. Is it my mother" Mingrui couldn't say the word "something happened". But besides this incident, Mingrui didn't know what else could make her aunt and uncle look so ugly.
Xia Yao shook her head: "No, the princess is very good."
Mingrui was a little confused now. It's not that there's something wrong with my mother, what's the matter? As for the issue of saying something was wrong with her father, Mingrui had never thought about it. He has received news that his father is following the army back to Beijing. What can happen if you have thousands of troops around you?
Wu Xing saw that Xia Yao couldn't speak, so he told what happened: "Your aunt was afraid of the unexpected, so she didn't want to. But my uncle meant that the risk was worth taking. The two times your father and Mingjin were in danger were both This person did it. If he doesn¡¯t die, you will still be in danger.¡±
Mingrui heard what this person said about the two incidents between his father and Mingjin. There was anger in his eyes right now. Without thinking, he said: "Aunt, uncle. Instead of being on guard every day, it's better to annihilate this person. With aunt and uncle here, I believe there will be no danger." Not only aunt and uncle??There are also people sent by my mother, who are enough to ensure their safety. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Only by killing this dangerous person can their family find peace.
Xia Yao was very hesitant. But despite Mingrui's insistence, Xia Yao still wavered. Wuxing is right, keeping Qi Yu can only be a disaster. Xia Yao struggled for a long time before saying, "Mingrui, I don't think you should tell Mingjin about this."
Xia Yao was afraid that Mingjin wouldn't be able to bear it.
Mingrui shook his head: "You always treat Mingjin as a child. Aunt, uncle, Mingjin has grown up. He is not as weak as you think. I believe that Mingjin will have the same attitude as me when he knows it. I agree with this plan." Although Mingjin loves to cry, he is not so weak that he is timid. Moreover, responsibility is tempered. If he didn't just pamper her, think of everything for him, and avoid all dangers, then Mingjin would never be able to grow up. How to support the family in the future and be the backbone of the family. Therefore, even though Mingjin was so scared that she had nightmares and was so scared that she hugged him and cried, Mingrui kept nothing from Mingjin.
Just as Xia Yao was about to speak, Wu Xing shook his head: "Then tell Mingjin about this." He had already not told Mingjin just now, and it made no sense to talk about it now.
Mingrui stood up: "Aunt, uncle, if there are any changes, just tell me." No matter how cruel they are, he is not afraid of these people.
Wuxing nodded: "Don't worry, we won't hide anything from you." No matter what news he got during this period, he told Mingrui immediately. During this time, Wu Xing felt that Mingrui had become more mature. Even Mingjin has grown up a lot. Of course, you have to ignore Mingjin's crying. Mingjin was really pampered by the princess. Crying at every turn is not what a man should do. Please tell the princess carefully when you return this time. We can no longer raise Mingjin as a girl (Wen Wan cried out: How could I raise Mingjin as a girl).
Wait for Mingrui to leave. Xia Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Sometimes. I really feel that for Mingjin, Mingrui is like a brother and father." Ever since he was a child, it seems that Mingrui has always been taking care of Mingjin. But Mingrui did not indulge Mingjin. He would hit him when he needed to be beaten and scold him when he needed to be scolded. He never showed mercy. Also because of Mingrui's severity. Didn't let Mingjin become a lazy person.
??Wuxing smiled: "They all say that an elder brother is like a father, doesn't this just follow the old saying?"
Xia Yao was dissatisfied: "This was originally a matter for the general. But Mingrui took his place instead. How old is Mingrui? Really. It's a blessing that Mingrui is sensible, otherwise the princess would not be so relaxed. There is no need for two children. It doesn't matter. "If Mingrui is not so sensible, take Mingjin with him. The princess still wants to take care of business. He had a headache just taking care of the children. But then the princess's resentment would probably be even greater.
When Mingrui returned to the room, Mingjin was looking at him with wide eyes. His eyes flickered, as if to say, brother, please tell me quickly.
Mingrui sat on the edge of the bed and told Mingjin what had just happened: "I have already agreed. This person is too dangerous, and I don't feel at ease unless I am the only one. Our whole family is in danger. So, even if you take some threats. We have to get rid of this person, Mingjin, what do you think?¡±
Mingjin nodded: "Brother, I also think this person should be eliminated. This person is too dangerous. If he doesn't die, we will still be in danger in the future." If such a person is left here, who knows when he will kill him again . It would be better to let him reincarnate.
Mingrui nodded.
Mingjin was very dissatisfied that Xia Yao and Wuxing always hid things from him and told his brother instead of telling him: "Brother, they underestimate me too much. Just tell you, don't tell me anything." This is really different treatment. Not only his aunt and uncle were like this, but his mother was also like this, which made him so angry.
There was a smile on Mingrui's lips: "If you weren't so crying and noisy, my aunt and uncle would definitely tell you. But you look like an ignorant child. How dare they tell you! If you want them to treat you the same as they treat me, you have to be sensible and not cry." This made Mingrui helpless. No matter how many times I said it, it was of no use.
Mingjin was also innocent: "I don't know why. I can't control my tears when I'm sad. Brother, I really don't want to cry. I don't know what's going on." Mingjin really feels that she Very hard. He is not a crybaby, nor will he cry when something happens. But the tears fell right away. Can't stop it.
Mingrui hurriedly comforted: "Brother, I believe what you said. But if you want everyone to treat you as an adult, you must control your emotions in the future. You can't cry or make trouble. You always cry and make trouble. I don't know what you think. You are a girl!" Mingrui said in her heart. Not just a girl. It must have been the wrong one when reincarnated. She was originally a girl, but she suddenly turned into a boy.
Mingjin frowned.
Mingrui laughed. Seeing Mingjin like this, he wanted to pinch her twice. He reached out and patted Mingjin's shoulder: "Get up and pack your things. TomorrowIt's time to leave early in the morning. Bring what you want to bring. There is no need to bring it with you. Don't leave anything behind that shouldn't be left behind. "
Mingjin expressed his gratitude. I got out of bed and packed my things. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you take the others with you or not. You must take all the books back.
Xia Yao came over and said, "Don't worry, go to bed first. It's not too late to clean up after dawn."
The two were driven back to bed to sleep. But where can I sleep? They were all excited, and the two brothers were talking to each other.
Mingjin said to the end, muttering: "Brother, I will never leave my mother again. I will never leave my mother in this life." These past few months have really been like a year.
Mingrui said with a smile: "Remember your words. You can't go back on your words in the future." He will leave the capital when the time is right. Mingjin was different. Since Mingjin had to rely on the imperial examination, he had to study literature. I can always be happy. He wasn't around, so having Mingjin by his parents' side was a comfort.
Xia Yao heard the two brothers muttering and couldn't help but said: "Both these two children told them about the danger. I don't know whether to say they are brave or they don't know the danger." Xia Yao has not been worried about this until now. Restore calm. She really didn't want Mingrui and Mingjin to be used as bait. Thinking about it makes me panic.
Wu Xing shook his head: "Their brothers have been waiting day and night to finally go back. It's normal for them to be so happy that they can't sleep. As for danger, there will be no danger. Xia Yao, there will be no chance." If there are so many masters Protecting Mingrui and Mingjin just in case, they both committed suicide.
Xia Yao said nothing.
But Wuxing suddenly said: "Xia Yao, I want to return to the capital this time and wait until things are settled. I want to go to the charity hall to adopt a child. What do you think?"
Xia Yao asked strangely: "Why do you suddenly want to adopt a child?" Wu Xing is not the kind of person who cares about passing on the family line. How can Xia Yao not be weirded out by such an idea suddenly?
??Wuxing said with a smile: "I think having a child makes the house more lively." During this period, Wuxing felt that having children made the family more like a home.
Xia Yao disagreed: "It takes a lot of energy to raise a child. We don't have so much time and energy." They are both very busy and have no time.
Thinking of the actual situation, Wu Xing said with a smile: "We have forgotten our situation because of such a comfortable life." Before, he thought that the princess did not have such a comfortable life. I can't bear to live such a comfortable life.
Xia Yao chuckled. She is very content that the two of them can live the life they have now. Wu Xing didn't know what Xia Yao was thinking. In Xia Yao's heart, she also regards Mingrui and Mingjin as her children. If you have time to raise a baby, why not spend all your energy and practice on two children.
