Chapter 235 Going down the mountain
After Qiao Wei and Mo Sangong stayed at the metallurgical field in Danshan for three days, they prepared to go back down the mountain. Sun Kuang led his guards to personally escort Qiao Wei down the mountain.

By the way, I also want to go back home to see my wife, whom I haven’t seen for two months.

Ever since he went to Danshan Mountain to take charge of the metallurgical field while hiding from the public eye in the name of keeping filial piety, he has never returned to his home.

I don’t know how well Cao Xian is raising her fetus.

Qiao Wei looked at Sun Kuang, who was no longer sick and frail, and chatted with him about daily life as he walked, "Brother Kuang looks stronger now than when he was at home. I guess it's all thanks to my younger siblings."

Sun Kuang thought of Cao Xian at home, and the expression on his face softened a lot, "Ms. Cao is indeed very attentive."

Previously, because of Cao Xian's background, he was always on guard and was not very close to her.

However, Cao Xian was not willing, so he carefully found a female doctor at home to learn massage techniques and make medicinal meals, and carefully massaged and regulated Sun Kuang's body.

After a year or two of conditioning, I saw that the thin appearance at that time was slowly gone, and I became much stronger. Even Sun Kuang himself can feel that instead of getting sleepy easily after sleeping for six or seven hours in the past, now he wakes up feeling refreshed after sleeping for five hours and does not feel tired even after a busy day.

"By the way, didn't my brothers and sisters come with you?" During the past few days when Qiao Wei was patrolling Si Jinchang, there were almost no female relatives in the place. After all, even Sun Kuang didn't bring his female relatives up the mountain, and it was hard for others to offer to bring them. Due to the family's request, Qiao Wei's appearance seemed a bit out of place.

"She was heavy and the mountain road was rough, so she stayed in the house to raise her." Sun Kuang and Cao Xian have been married for more than two years. Previously, he was worried that it would be difficult to have children because of his weak body. I don’t impose anything on Cao Xian.

Unexpectedly, one day Cao Xian suddenly fainted, and the female doctor found out that she was pregnant after taking a pulse. This was an unexpected surprise for Sun Kuang.

It's just that I haven't heard about Cao's pregnancy before!
"I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts for the children." Qiao Wei touched her bun. This time I came out to act low-key and cheap, I didn't wear any jewelry or hairpins, and I didn't have anything valuable on my body at this time.

Sun Kuang didn't care about these details, "It was not convenient for Mr. Cao to be pregnant. The fetal phase was not very reliable in the first three months, and she was lying on the bed most of the time, so I didn't say anything. It was so difficult to find the fetal phase." It's a bit stable, and there's bad news and funerals in the family, so it's even more difficult to tell about it, even to Brother Zhong, so it's understandable that my sister-in-law doesn't know about it."

Qiao Wei nodded slightly, "It is indeed not easy for younger siblings. It was during the hard time of pregnancy, but the general was entrusted with an important task by the king, and the husband and wife had to be separated and not allowed to see each other for several months."

"In a family like ours, you will inevitably have to live like this when you marry, either in office all the year round or in the military camp all the time. The Cao family and I are on good terms. Brother Zhong asked me to take my family with me to take office.

Most of the craftsmen in the metallurgical field have been away from home for several years, and their wives and children are not allowed to see each other all year round. They can't even tell how old their children are now. Yesterday, a craftsman was saying that he didn't know how many years it would take before he could return home, and he was afraid that his children would no longer recognize him as their father. It was really sad to hear that. "

It's not that Sun Kuang has never thought of bringing in all the craftsmen's families so that they can feel at ease.

It's just that the metallurgical field is a secret. If all these family members are brought to Danyang, it will make people's hearts wander and cause a lot of trouble.

It was Sun Kuang himself. Since Cao Xian was the daughter of the Cao family, even if Cao Xian had no other thoughts, it was difficult to prevent the people around him from leaking the news, so he deliberately guarded against the people in the house and left that day. When he arrived at the mansion, even the guards around him didn't know where he was going.

"Yes, it is always difficult for everyone to make a living." Qiao Wei sighed with emotion in a low voice, "You have been away from the house for several months, and your younger siblings are inconvenient. Is there anyone in the house who can take care of you properly?" "They are all old people in the house. My aunt also came to the house to take care of her. She is served by people she is used to. There is nothing inappropriate." Sun Kuang also knew that the situation was special, so he could only write to Lu Ling went to ask his uncle Wu Jing for help, and his aunt immediately returned to Danyang and took care of Cao Xian's daily life and food.

If not, Sun Kuang wouldn't be able to leave so safely.

"The general will go back today and spend the day with his siblings. They will definitely be happy."

The corners of Sun Kuang's mouth raised slightly unnoticeably. When he thought of the surprise that Cao might have when he suddenly appeared, he also vaguely looked forward to it. I wonder if she will cry with joy!
Although it is spring now, the trees in the mountain forest are lush and tall, covering each other in layers, but completely blocking the sunlight from the mountain forest, making it look a bit depressing and gloomy. A breeze blows by, bringing a bit of coolness. .

Youjin's right ear moved slightly, as if he heard something. He frowned and his expression became serious. He suddenly stood still and reached out to stop Qiao Wei, "Madam, be careful."

Sun Kuang, who was chatting and laughing with Qiao Wei just now, suddenly became alert and whispered, "Be alert!"

He quickly pulled out the saber with his right hand and instantly entered a state of preparation for battle.

Qiao Wei also immediately took out the peacock feather from his waist, and immediately unloaded the sleeve arrow on his left wrist.

This time, because Xiao Ye was pregnant, Qiao Wei did not take You Ye with him when he went out. Instead, he listened to You Xun's suggestion and took You Xun with him, who had been a spy for many years.

Because he is a spy, Youyi is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding situation and can often detect details that others cannot.

Often these details can help him detect potential dangers in time. Therefore, when Youji has been a spy for nearly ten years, he has been able to escape unscathed despite facing many assassinations and traps.

"Madam, we can't go any further, we must retreat immediately."

In order to hide the traces of Danshan Metallurgical Field, Sun Kuang arranged for people to often walk through these dense and dark forests in order to hide the traces.

This road is surrounded by bushes, and there are too many places that block the view. If someone walks on it, it will be difficult to find traces. In the same way, if there is an enemy hidden inside, it will be difficult to detect.

It depends on whose insight is more alert.

Sun Kuang also knew what You Jin was capable of. Since he said so, he must have his reasons. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered, "Withdraw!"

Seeing them turning around and retreating, the man who had been hiding in the woods for a long time was willing to give up and gave the order, "Shoot!"

Arrows flew out of the forest like rain, heading towards Qiao Wei and others.
