New Territories Intern

Chapter 8

The stepmother stood in front of Su Rui as if facing an enemy, but she was relieved when she saw the person coming.

The man was dressed in a battle robe and looked upright. He was startled when he saw his stepmother, and then his eyes fell on Su Rui.

"The housewives and daughters didn't intend to break in, but they were out of desperation," said the stepmother.

He signaled the soldiers to retreat, and when only the three of them were left, he asked, "Is she Hou Meiyu?"

The stepmother looked at him in horror: "Why do you know?"

He is not an outsider, and the stepmother doesn't have to hide it, she just nodded and agreed.

"Mother, do you know him?" In my impression, the stepmother was just an ordinary citizen in Banpo Village, how could she know someone from the imperial court?Suri thought to himself.

The stepmother hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "He is the King of Lei Hu, Protector of Yulei Mansion of the Kingdom of Yu."

King Lei Hu became even more suspicious, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that the stepmother was somewhat puzzled, King Lei Hu continued: "The Empress Dowager learned that the First Empress gave birth to a daughter. She searched hard and found out that she was in Banpo Village. She sent someone to Banpo Village to take her back to the palace. It is estimated that she will arrive today. "

Su Rui was shocked, Hou Meiyu turned out to be the daughter of the royal family!

Gong Dou and being imprisoned in the palace was not what she wanted.

When the stepmother heard what he said, she was both happy and worried, and said directly: "Meiyu was chased and killed last night, and she fled here today to avoid those people."

King Lei Hu glared angrily, and snorted coldly: "Those people are so rampant, just as we are going back to Beijing, let us protect you back to Beijing."

Go back or not?He was hunted down before returning to the palace, and it might be even more difficult and dangerous in the future.But they have all chased here, so how can she contend with it on her own? In the palace, there is still the Empress Dowager and others to take care of her.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Rui decided that it would be safer to go back to the palace with him temporarily.

The stepmother hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, then I will trouble King Lei Hu."

Su Rui suddenly hated herself for holding too many leaves, disasters happened again and again, she couldn't figure it out, and she was still trapped in the palace in the future!

After they walked away, a man gently fell from a tree not far away, his eyes radiated a cold light.

Soon, a man came quickly, frowned and said: "Master, Dao Face didn't come back on time, he might be in trouble."

"Well, go back." With a sound, the two headed towards the camp of Dragon Kingdom.

At the same time, three carriages and more than a dozen attendants came from Banpo Village to pick up Feng Xiaoyue and her family.

Song Ziyan and Chen Shi also got into the carriage.

Under the discussion of everyone, he left Banpo Village.

And Su Rui entered the border camp of the Kingdom of Yu with his stepmother and King Lei Hu. The atmosphere was completely different from the outside, full of tension and the smell of men's sweat.

Soldiers are training, smoke is rising from the cooking fires of the Hutou army, and soldiers take turns to inspect and dare not relax.

Su Rui followed behind them and looked around, pondering.

The stepmother whispered: "King Lei Hu, it is not clear whether the situation is good or bad. People's hearts are unpredictable. Meiyu and I should go to Beijing in a low-key manner."

Those people were able to find Banpo Village and find them first to assassinate them. As she said, they really need to be cautious to avoid accidents.

King Lei Hu agreed and nodded: "What you said is true, then let the eldest princess be wronged for now."

So he called the soldiers and arranged a small tent for them to live in, declaring that they were the wives and daughters of old friends.

King Lei Hu glanced at the time outside and asked, "Shi Linyue, Lei Xiao hasn't come back yet?"

A middle-aged man in gray clothes bowed and said, "Young master went after the infiltrator and hasn't seen him back to the city yet. Do you need your subordinates to look for him?"

He has not been seen back, and Shi Linyue is also a little worried whether he was ambushed by people from the Dragon Kingdom.

When King Lei Hu was pondering, Lei Xiao and the guards had already entered the tent of the general with a bloody human head.

"Father, he was one of that person's bodyguards. Unfortunately, he committed suicide by biting his tongue. The boy brought his head back and intends to hang it on the city wall." He said with air.

King Lei Hu stared at him and signaled Shi Linyue to take it down and deal with it.

He said: "It's good to come back safely." Then he continued to study the terrain and formation.

When there were only two people left in the room, Lei Xiao asked, "Father, I heard that you brought back a woman and a girl today."

"En." He didn't raise his head but responded casually.

What Li Bao said turned out to be true!

"Why?" Lei Xiao didn't understand. Seeing that he didn't make a sound, he couldn't help reminding: "The Kingdom of Dragons is about to move, and this is the border between the two countries. Ordinary people will not approach them unintentionally. My child is afraid that these two people will meet. We are disadvantaged."

"will not."

Seeing that he was still unmoved, Lei Xiao said bluntly: "My old friends, wives and daughters, have never heard from my father. It must have been a long time ago or there may be some unspeakable secrets, but my father, not to mention leading soldiers to fight, also brought his daughter with him." This made the soldiers laugh. These two people are really suspicious."

King Lei Hu put down his book of war and raised his head to look at his serious expression.

"Who dares to talk nonsense in my camp! Tomorrow we will be guarded by General Zheng and Vice General Lin and we will return to Beijing. If you have nothing else to do, go down and prepare."

His tone was irresistible, and Lei Xiao did not dare to disobey.

"Yes, baby, I'll go back and clean up." He took a step back and turned to leave.

"Shi Linyue." King Lei Hu raised his voice to the outside.

Shi Linyue asked: "King Lei Hu, what are your orders?"

"Follow him."

Shi Linyue went out in response. He is Lei Huwang's confidant, so he naturally understood what the master meant.

He followed not far behind Lei Xiao.

Sure enough, Lei Xiao didn't go back to his tent but walked into the tent of his relatives.

Su Rui was slightly startled when he saw him, this is the Yuzhi Kingdom military camp, he is not surprising here, but he didn't expect him to come to the door, thinking of his disregard for his own safety and cruelty, he didn't feel very good about him.

But Lei Xiao was different, he didn't expect that the old friend, wife and daughter his father was talking about turned out to be her, he slightly frowned and hummed softly: "It turned out to be you!"

The stepmother had never seen him before, so naturally she didn't know his identity, she just looked at "Hou Meiyu" and him suspiciously, wondering when Meiyu knew this person.

Su Rui came back to his senses, it was because he didn't care about his previous behavior, he nodded with a light smile, then turned to his mother-in-law and said, "Mother, when I was looking for you, I was threatened by an infiltrator, he saved me. There is a chance to meet you."

It turned out to be a savior!

The stepmother said gratefully: "The old lady thanked the general for saving Meiyu's life. If I take the liberty to ask, I don't know how to call it?"

"Lei Xiao."

Just as the stepmother was thinking of thanking him again, Lei Xiao poured cold water on him, looked at Su Rui coldly and said, "If I knew you would appear here, I would rather not have saved you!"

He doesn't believe in coincidences.

It was not long ago that she was kidnapped by someone from the Dragon Kingdom, and that person would not kill her even in that situation, and she just happened to appear in the barracks now, what a coincidence!What old friends, wives and daughters are simply ridiculous!

The more Lei Xiao watched, the more he believed that she and that man acted together, and she must have a conspiracy!

Ben was still thinking that people had to bow their heads under the roof and not care about the previous things with him, but now she really didn't want to.

Su Rui erased his modesty, and said coldly: "Since Little General Lei is so blunt, then I won't be euphemistic."
