After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 506 Extra ()

After Xie Xingchuan left the capital, the Gu family was in a low mood for several months.

Until the news of victory came from the border, Xie Xingchuan led 20,000 people and fought like a god, forcing the grassland people to retreat step by step, and the original peace talks broke down.

All the ground that General Xie had lost before was recovered by General Xie.

In this way, the old emperor did not have to marry off his daughter, and General Xie, who had suffered a defeat before, was not severely punished by the court, but was only demoted three levels and retained.

However, as a result of this incident, Xie Xingchuan's official position became higher than General Xie.

It was only when Xie Xingchuan arrived at the border that he met his younger brother for the first time.

General Xie registered this grandson under his own name and made his aunt his legal son, treating him as his own legitimate youngest son.

Xie Xingchuan was stunned for a long time at that time.

Only then did he realize that his father, who had always been like a mountain, would actually lie on the ground and let a child ride on his big horse.

General Xie was a little embarrassed. Only when the father and son were alone did he say to Xie Xingchuan, "Life is short. I have now let it go. Nothing in this world is more important than family."

Xie Xingchuan has a deep understanding of this.

General Xie carefully looked at his adopted son, who was taller than himself, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Xingchuan's mask.

"I am sorry for you. I trusted Lin wrongly back then, thinking that she would treat you well after losing her own son. I didn't expect that I would harm you like this."

General Xie has been strong all his life. He thought it would be difficult to apologize, but now that he finally said it, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

General Xie admitted that he had no good intentions when he adopted Xie Xingchuan from the beginning. Xie Xingchuan was injured on the battlefield and lost his only son. The Xie family needed an heir, and he did not want to endure the strange looks of outsiders.

He accidentally picked up Xie Xingchuan who had escaped from a kidnapper. At that time, the child had a high fever and his whole body was burning hot. He originally thought that he was doing a good deed every day, and accidentally discovered that the child had excellent bones and was extremely suitable for martial arts training. However, because of the high fever, he forgot everything.

General Xie thought that this was God's compensation to his heir, so he used the most stringent means to force Xie Xingchuan to grow up, and Xie Xingchuan's performance did live up to his expectations over the years.

"Father, I don't care anymore." Xie Xingchuan did not forgive Mrs. Xie, he just didn't care anymore.

After he found out that Mrs. Xie was not his biological mother, the years of pain no longer had support and gradually disappeared with the company of the Gu family.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a good father." General Xie said with guilt.

He could be ruthless enough to train Xie Xingchuan, but now he couldn't be ruthless enough to train his younger son.

However, his adopted son, whom he had let down, stood up at the critical moment, signed a military order in front of the emperor, and solved his urgent problem.

Xie Xingchuan understood what he meant and said, "Your original intention has always been to train a qualified successor, right?"

General Xie's nose was sour, and he said, "You are the heir now, and your brother will not compete with you."

General Xie will still gradually hand over his connections in the army to Xie Xingchuan. The battlefield is too hard and tiring, and swords are merciless. He is also reluctant to lose the child that his daughter exchanged her life for.

He admitted at this time that he was also a selfish ordinary person: "I am old and I dare not lose your brother again."

Xie Xingchuan used to feel sad when hearing such biased words, but now he just smiled and said, "My brother is my father's youngest son. It's natural for my father to think this way."

The battlefield is dangerous, isn't the Gu family in the capital also worried about him?

Xie Xingchuan's demands have never been high. He is satisfied as long as someone cares about him and treats him as a member of the family.

General Xie was determined to have a heart-to-heart talk with his adopted son, and said, "Your brother is actually your nephew, your sister's child. I was injured on the battlefield and I can't have children anymore."

When Xie Xingchuan heard the news, his eyes widened slightly, and then he suddenly seemed to have figured out everything that had happened over the years.

"I'm old, and I don't know how long I have left to live. He's still so young..." There was a hint of entrusting the orphan to General Xie's care in his words.

Xie Xingchuan did not disappoint his expectations and said, "Don't worry, father. Since you don't want your brother to stay at the border like me, I will ensure that he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life and become a free and easy wealthy man." General Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He had killed many foreigners at the border over the years and was afraid of their revenge. Now that his eldest son was guarding the border, his youngest son would be able to rely on the Gu family when he returned to the capital in the future. He would be able to rest in peace even if he died.

General Xie had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and was covered with old wounds. After the defeat this time, his spirit was worn out. Not long after he had a heart-to-heart talk with Xie Xingchuan, he asked his wife and children to return to the capital first.

Less than two years later, General Xie passed away. Before his death, he fulfilled his promise and explained all the general's personal connections to Xie Xingchuan.

Xie Xingchuan continued to stay at the border and waited until Li Xuan ascended the throne, and strongly supported him in attacking the alien race.

As the dynasty's neighbors, the foreign races have been a thorn in the dynasty's side for many years. Since Xie Xingchuan has made up his mind to stay at the border, he is determined to kill the foreign races.

He stayed at the border for five years, and the Gu family in the capital was worried for five years. Finally, before the wedding of the emperor and empress, a great victory was achieved at the border.

He killed all the foreign tribes until their country was destroyed and their race was exterminated, and the people in the border areas all praised his reputation.

However, when the news reached the capital, some literati accused Xie Xingchuan of being cruel and unmanly.

However, as soon as such voices emerged, they were suppressed by the court.

Li Xuan even praised Xie Xingchuan in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, saying that he had made unprecedented contributions and was the greatest meritorious official of the dynasty.

Once these words came out, no one dared to talk about Xie Xingchuan's killing of foreigners behind his back.

Before the wedding of the emperor and empress, Xie Xingchuan applied to return to Beijing to report on his work, and his request was naturally granted.

On the day of the emperor and empress's wedding, the emperor went to the Gu family in person to marry them in full accordance with folk marriage customs. Niu Niu's three brothers took turns carrying her out of the house.

This marriage was talked about by people in the capital for many years, and no other marriage since then could compare to it.

After the wedding of the emperor and empress, Xie Xingchuan wanted to return to the border, but Zhang Yunniang held him back tightly.

"You can go back, but at least you have to find a wife. All your brothers and sisters are married, and you are still single. How can I feel at ease?" Zhang Yunniang said.

Xie Xingchuan suddenly felt that being remembered by someone was not that great. He was about to say that how could he start a family if the border was not peaceful, but then he remembered that the border seemed to have been pacified. He stuttered for a moment and could not find a reason to refuse.

After a long while, he finally said, "The wind and sand are strong at the border. Which girl would be willing to stay there with me? Besides, I'm afraid young girls would dislike my face. I don't like those delicate young ladies. I want someone who can fight."

Zhang Yuniang's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

Xie Xingchuan's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, Zhang Yuniang said, "You, kid, have really been schemed against by your father."

Xie Xingchuan felt like things were going to get worse.

As expected, Zhang Yunniang looked confident: "We have found a girl for you who can fight, doesn't mind you wearing a mask, and can withstand the wind and sand at the border."

Xie Xingchuan: …

"She particularly admires you as a great hero. You must not disappoint her!" Zhang Yunniang said.

Xie Xingchuan said, "Mom, you must have been deceived. Where did you find such a good girl?"

Zhang Yuniang glanced behind him.

Xie Xingchuan turned around and saw an acquaintance behind him.

Wang River.

Wang He said directly: "I want to go to the battlefield with you to kill the enemy."

Xie Xingchuan thought of the competition he had with Wang He many years ago, and suddenly he was not so resistant anymore. He just said, "I gave you the upper hand in the last competition, but I won't give you the upper hand this time."
