Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 144 Cause and Effect
"Back then, Uncle Sang promised his parents that he would never let you be discovered by the Mo family. Could it be...he betrayed us?" Brother Sang slammed his fist on the table.

Zheng Quchi hurried forward and grabbed his hand to prevent him from doing anything radical.

"Brother, can you tell me what happened to my parents, the Mo family, and Uncle Sang back then?"

Brother Sang looked at Zheng Quchi, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, as long as he thought about what she had suffered after being brought to the Mo family these years, he would not be able to forgive himself.

It's because he's too self righteous.

Also he is too incompetent.

Hoarsely, he told her.

Sang Yanmu, also known as Uncle Sang in their mouth, actually made friends with the Zheng couple.

He is a native of Hongsheng. He learned woodcarving in his teens and became a craftsman.

In his thirties, with his superb craftsmanship, he joined the court craftsmen of Hongsheng Kingdom. Now he is in his 40s, and with his single-handed chisel, he already has a respected and respected position in Hongsheng Kingdom.

At that time, Zheng Quchi was not long after he was born. Because he was on the run with the Zhengs and his wife, he often couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well.

Of course, friendship belongs to friendship, and the Zheng couple still paid a heavy "reward".

At that time, Sang Yanmu did not have any achievements and reputations, but thanks to this time, his woodcarving finally not only possessed fiery emotional pouring, but also made leaps and bounds in his skills, and a delicate carving was contained in his style. among.

The Zheng couple were very pleased to learn that Sang Yanmu had finally made a name for himself in Hongsheng Country. They believed that Sang Yanmu would treat Zheng Quchi kindly and teach her as if he were his own daughter.

After many years, the Zheng couple unexpectedly had a younger sister. The situation was not good at that time. Not long after the baby was born, a high fever developed, and this fever burned out the brain.

According to the judgment of a doctor, Yaomei will always only have the intelligence of a few years old, and she will not grow up.

Zheng's mother had just given birth, and she was hit hard by Yaomei's incident, but she left without getting through that winter.

At that time, Zheng's father seemed to have aged several years overnight. After finishing the funeral for Zheng's mother, he brought Brother Sang and Younger Sister to Fu County.

Because there is a distant relative of Zheng's mother here, he asked them to issue a family certificate and a guarantee of origin to the county for review, so that they can settle down and build a house in Fu County.

After arranging Brother Sang and the others, Zheng's father went out for a few months, and when he came back, he was dead.

Where he went and what he did, no matter what Brother Sang asked, he refused to reveal a word.

Father Zheng just confessed before he died, not to seek revenge, not to leave Fu County, and not to have anything to do with the Mo family.

We must protect Yaomei, find our second sister, and protect the Zheng family.

"After the death of father and mother, the people of the Mo family seemed to have disappeared before our eyes and never appeared again. I know that it must be what father did to keep my younger sister and me. I never dare to think about what happened in the past, because I have sworn to my father that I will not seek revenge, and will not have any involvement with the Mo family."

After listening to Brother Sang's account of the series of tragedies that happened in the Zheng family, Zheng Quchi was filled with righteous indignation: "But the people of the Mo family have not disappeared, and they have no intention of letting us go."

The Zheng family couple and Yaomei were both directly or indirectly killed by the Mo family, and the real "Zheng Quchi" also died at the hands of the Mo family. If they are willing to let go of this pile of old enemies, they can live in peace down?

"Back then, you suddenly found it from Sang Bo, no, Sang Yanmu, I was really happy, and I was even happy and confused. It was all my fault. I didn't know anything. I thought you Since then, he has been far away from the persecution of the Mohist family, and is living peacefully in Hongsheng Country... but he never expected... Sang Yanmu..."

He covered his eyes, sobbing so hard that he couldn't speak any more.

It was his fault. At that time, he had been incognito in Fu County for many years. He was cautious, lived in poverty and embarrassment, and brought a sick younger sister with him, so he clearly promised his father to find his second sister, but he didn't do it.

He thought it would be better to stay in Hongshengguo than bring his second sister back to suffer together with him.

"Brother, don't be sad, the world is unpredictable, how do you know that Sang Yanmu will have problems? After all, even the parents didn't see it."

There is definitely something wrong with Sang Yanmu, because according to Zheng Quchi's inference, the original body was taken away by the Mo family soon after being sent to him. It is impossible for him not to know, but he never thought of telling The Zheng couple.

She guessed that either he was afraid of the Mo family and was planning to protect himself wisely, or he was more vicious and took the initiative to exchange his original body with the Mo family for benefits.

Brother Sang wiped away his tears, and cheered up: "You are right, you have been disguised as a man since you were a child, if Sang Yanmu deliberately concealed it, no one would easily know that you are Zheng Ermei, father once said, don't leave Fu County, all these years, it is impossible for the Mo family not to know that our Zheng family has settled here, but they have never done anything to us, it must be something dad did."

"Brother, I can come back only because the Mo family needs me to help them go back to the Zheng family to find something. That thing used to be in the hands of parents. I think it should be in the hands of eldest brother now."

He looked up sharply at her.

Zheng Quchi continued: "After I came back, I kept making excuses with the Mohists, worrying that they would attack your opponents directly. I made them think that I got the things, but I was hesitating whether to hand them over...then they were patient. Fewer and fewer, and even plan to give up my pawn if they don't get what they want."

Brother Sang was both surprised and angry: "As expected...they still refuse to give up, and they have their idea on you."

Zheng Quchi told Brother Sang about the original body's experiences and encounters, and she said: "As I said just now, the world is unpredictable. Dad did indeed choose a place with a good geomantic omen for us to settle down in. A few years ago, I was blessed by my father." The Zheng family and the Mo family didn't do anything, and in the future, as long as Yu Wensheng is in Fu County, his Mo family will never want to reach out again."

Speaking of this, Brother Sang finally understands why Zheng Quchi can discuss this matter calmly now, because their situation is very different now.

"Yeah, Yu Wencheng...Unexpectedly, the living Yan Luo that everyone fears will one day become the patron saint of our Zheng family." Brother Sang was also filled with emotion.

Zheng Quchi didn't know how to answer the conversation.

He is not only the patron saint of the Zheng family, he is also the son-in-law of the Zheng family, your sister-in-law, I don't know if one day you find out about this, will you poke your head in "shock"?
"Brother, so you can tell me now, what exactly is that thing? Why does the Mo family insist on getting that thing?"

"You don't have to worry about this..."

"But if I don't know anything all the time, if I am caught by the Mo family in the future, then I really have no cards to save my life." She deliberately frightened him.

Her words really broke Brother Sang's defenses.

He said sharply: "Remember, if someone asks you for the map of the Eight Desolations of Nine Provinces, tell him to come and look for me. Only I know where it is in this world."

When Zheng Quchi heard it, he grasped the key point, and his eyes lit up: "Nine Provinces and Eight Desolations Map? The name is not simple, but it is really in the hands of the eldest brother now? But our house is burned, where do you hide things?" gone?"

Brother Sang saw her leaning her head closer, asking questions non-stop, like a curious child.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel sorry for her or laugh at her appearance.

He said: "This is what our ancestors of the Zheng family have been working hard to do for a hundred years. It is to complete a map of the eight wastelands of Kyushu."

Kyushu, also known as Zhongtu and Handi, covers seven countries in its area, and it is not just a vast area that can be described.

Zheng Quchi said in surprise, "Then, is it done?"

Brother Sang shook his head: "Not yet, there are still some areas in Ye Kingdom."

This is also remarkable.

Zheng Quchi took a dark breath.

In the absence of high-speed transportation and precision surveying and mapping instruments, how difficult it would be to condense the three-dimensional mountains and rivers in front of us on a two-dimensional paper or piece of cloth by manpower?

Hard to imagine.

"The ancestors of the Zheng family are cattle."

When mentioning this matter, brother Sang's regret was revealed in his eyes. He said: "My lifelong wish is to complete it for my father and grandparents. It's a pity... I can't leave Fuxian, and neither can my leg. Compete."

When Zheng Quchi heard the words, she also felt a burst of discomfort, which was not only her own, but also the remorse and sadness left by this body.

Speaking of which, she kept asking about exactly how Brother Sang's legs were lame. Firstly, she was afraid of getting involved in his sadness.

"Brother, you can't leave Fu County for the time being, so just ask me to go for you. One day, I will let you come and go freely and move forward without fear." Zheng Quchi said sincerely.

Brother Sang avoided her pair of bright and clear eyes: "When you first came back, brother always felt that you were gloomy, didn't like to talk, and walked alone, no matter if you were bullied or where you were When you are wronged, you always keep things in your heart, and your eldest brother never understands your suffering... Now you are different from the previous you. You are a person who is capable and able to withstand big things, but your elder brother is useless , Incompetence, will only drag you down..."

Seeing that he was so uncomfortable because of the original matter, Zheng Quchi took his hand, shook it and said, "Brother, you know that I am outside, if something happens and I feel uncomfortable, I will always be there." Thinking about something?"

Brother Sang couldn't hold back and looked at her.

But I saw her smiling, a very warm smile.

"I'm thinking, I still have a family, no matter what, I can't give up on myself, because I know that there are still people waiting for me at home, so no matter how much time and effort I have to spend, I will go back."

Tears welled up in Brother Sang's eyes, and he turned away quickly.

Zheng Quchi didn't rush forward to comfort him, he just waited for him to calm down a bit.

After a long time, Big Brother Sang also figured it out. He said hoarsely: "Well, as long as Big Brother is here, this family will always be there. Don't worry, you will never be without a home."

After Zheng Quchi heard it, her eyes were sour. She sniffed and blinked back the tears.

"Okay, I'll remember this. We brothers and sisters will work together to make our Zheng family flourish and become the largest family in Ye Kingdom." She deliberately exaggerated.

Brother Sang knew that she wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he followed her words and said, "Before you make it bigger, you should strengthen our Zheng family first, or how can it become a big family with just a few people?"

Zheng Quchi: "...Brother, are you yearning for spring? Don't worry, there are still many good women in the county. When the time comes, you can marry one, hold them for three years, and help us grow our family."

"Nonsense, I'm such a cripple, who will marry me?" Brother Sang tamed her with a straight face.

Every time this topic is brought up, he has this look of resistance. Zheng Quchi knows that it's not that he doesn't want to get married and organize a warm family, but that he is worried that he will delay other girls.

Zheng Quchi refuted him eloquently: "Some people have perfect limbs, but they are full of shortcomings, but brother, you have some inconveniences except for your legs and feet, but you have advantages everywhere. Don't always belittle yourself, and don't belittle yourself. You have to always I firmly believe that there will always be someone who will love the truest side behind your incompleteness."

These words are so beautiful that Brother Sang was a little relieved after hearing them.

He lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "I never dare to expect that there will be such a person in the world who will appear just for me..."

-

From the capital city of Ye State all the way to the west, a white horse is riding a shooting star and galloping in the field. Shengbo's beautiful eyes.

It can be seen from her thick eyebrows, big eyes and high bridge of nose that this is a top beauty with thick face.

And he has a brave personality.

"Drive! Drive!"

She wore a red dress across the loess land, leaving behind a gorgeous landscape.

-

Zheng Quchi, who hadn't slept all night and his eyelids were swollen the next day, opened the door to see the energetic Runtu waiting at the door.

He should have been waiting for some time, but instead of knocking on the door to urge him, he waited patiently outside.

"Morning." She greeted subconsciously.

Runtu was stunned for a moment, but skipped the greeting, lowered his eyebrows, and asked, "Ma'am, are you going to ride a carriage or a horse today?"

"...Let's take a carriage."

On the way, Zheng Quchi asked, "Director Runqi, can I ask you something?"

"Madam, please."

"Your general also has Officer Wei Jin and Adjutant Wang. Are they not in the camp?"

Since Yu Wensheng sent him to pick her up every day, at least it showed that he was trustworthy, and she asked directly if there was anything.

"Yes."

Are you going to say a few more words?

If he didn't say anything, she continued to ask, "What are they busy with?"

"Yes."

Well, she could already hear his voice of patience.

Is it because she thinks she shouldn't ask about Yu Wensheng's whereabouts, or does she think that a woman like her doesn't need to know too much?
