My wife has a secret

Chapter 238 Reincarnation
"Envoy Xia, as the Envoy of the Four Seasons, you should know that the master's power is limited, and that the dead cannot be resurrected... The previous Jade Star Lord just followed the will of heaven and walked the path she was supposed to walk."

"Bullshit destiny."

Xiao Chong's eyes turned cold. He took a deep breath and the wails of Yuheng Xingjun when he died seemed to ring in front of his eyes and ears.

No one would have imagined that the North Dipper Star God of the White Lotus Sect would face such a tragic end when his life ended.

As a result, Xiao Chong often dreamed of the scene at that time every night for decades, and was forced to wake up with tears streaming down his face.

"Lady Saint, you don't have to hide it from me. I heard that the Star Lords of all generations are the reincarnations of the gods in heaven. The leader has a secret method bestowed by heaven to summon them from the upper realm... I have carefully checked the data and records of the people and found that these Star Lords almost always have repeated abilities every three hundred years."

Xiao Chong stared at the fox-faced girl closely, and only he knew the tension in his voice.

In recent years, Xiao Chong has not been doing nothing and enjoying the extravagant life of a Liao prince. He secretly investigated the history and culture of the White Lotus Sect, and based on the records and secrets left by his ancestors, he came up with a strange conjecture.

"For example, two hundred and forty years ago, a person who also possessed the ability to revive the dead was ranked in the position of Tianshu and obeyed the orders of the then Winter Storage Envoy. He used his ability in the East China Sea and tamed a giant sea beast."

This ancient book comes from the Biography of the Fisherman written by the third-generation patriarch of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family had joined the White Lotus Sect long ago, although this matter was just recorded as a casual conversation in the head of the family's notes.

But it was such an inconspicuous thing that caught Xiao Chong's attention.

He vaguely remembered Yuheng Star Lord telling him that a newly appointed descendant of the Star Lord had a special bloodline that allowed him to be resurrected from the dead. Even if he turned into blood, he could still recover as before with the help of his own residual blood.

Xiao Chong analyzed: "If what I think is correct, the seven star kings in the Holy Church are actually the same group of people. They appear in a certain order."

The saint smiled faintly, like spring flowers blooming, gentle and moving.

She opened her lips slightly, revealing a row of even teeth. "Envoy Xia, according to the rules of the sect, the Envoy of the Four Seasons is investigating the secrets of the Star Lord privately, but this is crossing the dangerous red line... You should know the consequences of angering the leader, right?"

Xiao Chong certainly knew the consequences of losing the support of the White Lotus Sect and angering it. This behemoth is far from being as simple as it seems.

After such a long time, even someone as powerful as the Saint may not know how deep the sect's hidden strength is.

but……

"I am old now, and it is past the time to cherish my life. I am nothing but a rotten life."

Facing the Saint's threat, Xiao Chong said calmly, "And I think my request is not difficult for the Saint Church... The man of destiny that the Saint Church has been searching for and waiting for has appeared. Compared to the great achievements that the Saint Church has been preparing for for a thousand years, what does a mere life that cannot be put on the table count for?"

"You have clearly calculated the interests involved."

The fox-faced woman smiled and said in a meaningful tone, "But I can't make the decision on this matter... I have to submit it to the leader and let him judge the pros and cons."

"Thank you for your help, Saint. I will proceed with the next siege according to the original plan."

Xiao Chong would certainly not sit and wait for death. After all, the army's number and rations were very limited, and it was now a critical moment to break through Huangling Pass, and the army's morale was high.

If there is a problem in this link, the Liao army's numerical advantage will become useless.

"what ever."

The fox-faced woman left a few words in a light voice, and the next moment when Xiao Chong blinked, the other party's figure disappeared in front of him, and only the sound of the wind coming from outside the tent could be heard.

The cold wind lifted the corner of Xiao Chong's python robe, and at this moment, a cold and resolute expression appeared on his face.

"Didn't the spies in the capital report that Princess Danyang was imprisoned in the Princess's Mansion by the Empress? How could she appear in my Liao army's tent in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Chong felt puzzled by the mysterious whereabouts of the Saint. Unlike the Winter Hidden Envoy, he had already guessed the Saint's true identity.

After all, in the previous process of assigning tasks, it all originated from Princess Danyang's secret visit to the Liao Kingdom, entering the Shangjing City to prepare goods and prepare for the paradise banquet.

But this time, why was the saint able to escape from the cage of the capital, cross the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and come before him?

Could it be that……

Is the Saint someone else? Is Princess Danyang just a decoy?

……

"My Lord, what do you say?"

As soon as Xu Qing came out of the house, he saw Liao Yue pacing back and forth in the courtyard of the princess's mansion, seeming to be restless.

When he caught a glimpse of Xu Qing's figure, he ran over excitedly with small steps and a full belly.

"Should we chop this evil woman who brought disaster to the country and the people into pieces as a warning to the public? Or should we push her behind the Meridian Gate and burn her on a pile of firewood?"

From Liao Yue's perspective, he naturally didn't want Princess Danyang to live too long. After all, his Ministry of Justice was almost in chaos because of this matter, so he felt that the sooner it was dealt with, the better.

Who would have thought that Xu Qing changed his mind because of this private meeting.

"Keep it here, and continue to be locked up here."

"what?"

Liao Yue was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Xu Qing's expression looked a little unnatural, as if something unpleasant had happened inside.

As a shrewd man, he knew that he shouldn't ask questions without authorization at this time, but his strong curiosity caused him to cough twice and couldn't help asking, "My Lord, is there any new discovery? Did Princess Danyang give out some evidence of other officials' crimes to reduce her sentence?"

Princess Danyang did have leverage over many people, but these were not the key factors that made Xu Qing change his mind.

Xu Qing took a breath and replied, "This matter is related to the White Lotus Sect. I will explain it to His Majesty. Let's leave the person here for now."

After saying that, Xu Qing no longer cared about Liao Yue's expression and reaction, and walked straight out of the princess's mansion.

After leaving the princess's mansion, she ran into the carriage sent by the marquis's mansion to pick her up. The driver was the servant who had left the house in the morning.

The servant hurriedly jumped down from the seat, picked up the small stool and placed it in front of the carriage.

"Master Marquis, please!"

This carriage was not one of those luxuriously decorated ones in Suzhou that were pulled by four or six horses. Instead, it was a small carriage pulled by a single horse, with only a hanging curtain to cover its surroundings.

Because of this, Xu Qing also had the opportunity to talk to the servants.

Xu Qing stepped on the bench and climbed onto the carriage. After he sat firmly and supported himself, he asked the servant, "Why did the carriage in the mansion become like this?"

"Because the war is approaching, every household in the capital dares not leak money... Lord, this is the memorial submitted by the eldest young lady, have you forgotten?"

Xu Qing was speechless.

Liao Yue had told himself about this when he was riding in the carriage in the morning. He didn't expect it to come true to him so soon.

It seems that the emperor's relatives received the same treatment.

"The Third and Fourth Young Madams heard that you were back, so they rushed back from the Nie Mansion this morning and are waiting for you in the mansion... Only the First Young Madam was too busy with some important matters to attend to, so she specially sent a servant from the Shen family to explain the situation and apologize to you."

"It's okay." Except for Yang Xianning, the second wife who led the troops, his three wives had basically gathered in the capital.

As the actual controller of Chengxuanfang, Shen Shuangxu has been extremely busy in recent times investigating traitors and collecting military intelligence, and he knows it very well.

"During special times, there is no need to go to great lengths."

"Both young ladies said that they haven't seen you for a long time and they want to see your condition with their own eyes and have a good meeting with you."

Hearing the servant say this, Xu Qing felt a little relieved.

Indeed, I have been away for such a long time that I almost forgot what the two girls look like.

It was also because so many things happened in the Liao territory and border areas, and he personally experienced the brutal battlefield, which caused his brain capacity to be insufficient.

The wheels of the carriage made a squeaking sound and stopped in the stable of Xu's mansion.

As soon as Xu Qing got off the car, he saw three large ox carts parked here, and many servants were carrying things back and forth.

Xu Qing was slightly moved when he saw this scene. He walked over with some curiosity and observed for a moment.

"Make way! The Marquis is back!"

When they heard someone reveal Xu Qing's identity, the busy servants of Li Fu's family stopped what they were doing, bowed their heads and greeted Xu Qing respectfully.

Xu Qing picked up some things casually, only to find that the whole cart was filled with books, mostly Confucian classics and Book of Rites.

"Master, Master!"

Xiaohuan, who was waiting at the stable, ran out. Her red lips were slightly parted, making her look like a flower bud about to bloom, so adorable.

"Xiao Huan is here!"

Xu Qing responded and followed Xiaohuan to the back hall of the marquis' mansion.

"Whose books are those in the stable?"

"To answer Young Master, these are the items that Third Young Madam brought back from the Nie Mansion."

After hearing Xiaohuan's answer, Xu Qingcai immediately remembered that Lu Wanhe from the third room, as a disciple of Master Nie, had been well-read since childhood, well-educated and well-mannered, and was a famous talented woman in the surrounding area.

She herself is interested in this, so it is not surprising that she has quite a stock of books.

What Xu Qing couldn’t imagine was how so many books could be brought into the Marquis’ Mansion?
However, this question soon had an answer.

"Husband."

Before the two men reached the back hall, they saw two beautiful women standing together in a pavilion, laughing and talking.

The woman on the left has a beautiful face and gentle and graceful manner, but her figure is frail, like a willow swaying in the wind. Her gaze is full of poetry.

The woman on the right is extremely delicate, with long black hair draped over her shoulders and fair skin like winter snow, quiet and beautiful.

The two beauties stand side by side without any sense of abruptness, but instead set off each other and bring out the best in each other.

In particular, the two girls' faces were quite gentle, and there was a faint smile on the corners of their lips.

When she saw Xu Qing, Lu Wanhe first followed the rules of etiquette and performed the proper etiquette of a concubine. Qin Shuying followed suit, bowed and saluted gracefully.

Xiaohuan tactfully stopped and stayed outside the corridor to guard the gate.

Xu Qing approached the pavilion, raised his head slightly, looked at the two women in the pavilion and said, "You two ladies have worked hard."

When facing Lu Wanhe, Xu Qing's heart still felt a slight throbbing.

But the current situation and conditions are completely different from the past. Even if we want to talk about love between men and women, it is probably not the critical moment when the Liao army is attacking the city.

However, he was still worried about the other party's safety and asked, "When I came from the stable, I saw a lot of books. I wonder what's going on..."

"Husband."

Lu Wanhe looked at Xu Qing, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Wan He thought about it for a long time in Nie's house and figured out one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"When my husband was in charge of the coronation ceremony, he lost contact for several months and his life or death was unknown... Although Wan He was well protected by her master and fellow students in the Nie Mansion, and also accompanied by the children in the private school, I really don't want to go through such a fearful and uneasy life again."

Lu Wanhe smiled calmly and said, "Although we are married and promised to grow old together, we have never been together properly. It is unreasonable... The book says that husband and wife should share honor and disgrace, life and death together, so Wanhe thinks it is better for her to move back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Xu Qing was stunned when he heard this.

In fact, he had originally wanted to go back home to see the two of them, report that they were safe, and then rush to Shen Shuangxu to deal with another matter assigned by his aunt.

But who could have thought that he would hear such touching words as soon as he returned to the Xu Mansion.

At the same time, ripples were quietly forming in Xu Qing's heart.

Among the ladies, he had always had a good impression of Lu Wanhe, the third wife.

After all, the other party is different from others. Compared with the political marriage of Shen Shuangxu and Yang Xianning, Qin Shuying approached with a purpose. Only Lu Wanhe was considerate of his kindness and willingly followed the marriage contract and married into the Xu family.

But, I am not my predecessor.

But he also discovered another thing, that is, Lu Wanhe's personality is simple and honest. He does whatever he wants and does not beat around the bush.

This is rare in this era of complex human nature.

"Mute?"

Qin Shuying was wearing a light blue dress that reached her chest. She covered her cherry lips and teased, "Where is your usual sharp-tongued look? Aren't you quite talkative in front of the fourth room?"

Although Qin Shuying is still as shrewd and cunning as before, on the contrary, the words she speaks have some special meaning.

"My husband just came back and went to the princess's residence before he had enough rest. It's normal for him to feel a little tired... Maybe my business disturbed my husband."

Lu Wanhe felt a little guilty because she did not inform the real owner of the Marquis Mansion, Xu Qing, about her return in advance.

Completely based on her wishful thinking, she just explained the matter to Qin Shuying and sent the servants in the mansion to move the things from the Nie Mansion over.

If this makes my husband unhappy and causes him unnecessary trouble, it will be my fault.

After all, Xu Qing is no longer the idle young master or dandy boy of Suzhou. Now he is the famous Marquis of Guangping, and is often entrusted with important tasks by the emperor and is responsible for more important matters.

Xu Qing came back to his senses from the surprise and quickly replied: "No, if you want to come back, that would be great."
