The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 80 This Man Has a Thick Skin
Calabash fell silent, as if she didn't know how to answer Meng Fuling's question. After a long time, she held her hand and asked, "Do you believe me?"

His hands were generous and warm, and Meng Fuling's mind resurfaced the details of the two people's acquaintance, and finally nodded and said: "Trust!"

Hulu smiled, glanced at the plaque on the door, and said in a low voice, "Then don't ask any questions."

Meng Fuling looked into his eyes steadily, and seeing him looking at the plaque, she knew that her guess was right, and she seemed to understand why he didn't want to tell her his identity.

At the same time, Meng Fuling was also very shocked. He hit such a remarkable person with a random hit. This is really unlucky.

"It's okay if I don't ask, you have to rescue Xiaowagua." Mingming's heart had already softened, but Meng Fuling's tone was still firm.

"Xiao Donggua is also my son, I won't let him have trouble." Hulu promised.

While they were talking, Steward Lu hurried over after hearing the report. Gourd had the same expression when he came back last time, so Steward Lu recognized him.

Steward Lu had been told by Hulu before, so he changed his address, "Young Master Hulu, why are you back?"

Hu son?No matter how depressed Meng Fuling was, she couldn't help laughing when she heard this strange address.

Steward Lu had noticed Meng Fuling a long time ago, so he couldn't ask rashly just now, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Who is this lady?"

After Meng Fuling gave birth to the little wax gourd, she changed her attire as an unmarried woman.

Butler Lu was very conflicted, the general never approached women, this time it was rare to bring a woman back, but she was a married woman.

But Gourd's answer made Steward Lu's jaw drop even more, "She is my wife, and she came to Beijing this time to find our son."

"Huh?" Even have children?Steward Lu was shocked, General Xindao had only left for a long time, and he even had a son.

"Take out my Shadow Token." Calabash ignored Steward Lu's reaction and asked Steward Lu for the Shadow Token.

Gourd Gong Lie learned from his mouth that he had secretly trained a team of shadow guards, and even if he used them, no one would notice and reveal his whereabouts.

The shadow guards of this team are extremely capable, and they are not easily used at ordinary times. Even if Gong Lie is the head of the shadow guards, he still does not have a complete shadow order that can mobilize the shadow guards.

The Shadow Token was divided into two, with one half held by Gong Lie and the other half kept by Steward Lu.

According to Gong Lie, Steward Lu is extremely loyal and reliable. He is an old man beside Hulu's mother. Watching Hulu grow up, he treats him like his own child.

Hulu was fighting outside all the year round, so Steward Lu stayed at the general's mansion to prevent people from coming to make trouble when Hulu was not in the mansion.

Steward Lu wanted to ask about Meng Fuling's background, but when he heard that the gourd wanted a shadow order, he naturally took it out without further ado. At the end, he asked, "Are you and your wife staying at the mansion this time, or?"

"Just arrange a guest house." When Hulu came, he had already made plans.

When I went to see Shang Qihao, I wouldn't take Meng Fuling with me. It's not safe to leave her in the inn. After much deliberation, it's better to stay in the General's Mansion.

Steward Lu wanted to ask about Meng Fuling and the captured little wax gourd again, but was sent away by the gourd.

"I'll go to the second prince's mansion tonight. You stay here and don't run around." Hulu said to Meng Fuling as soon as Steward Lu left.

"No, I can't wait." Meng Fuling felt terribly uncomfortable whenever she thought that the little wax gourd hadn't had milk for several days, and she might be so hungry.

Hulu didn't want Meng Fuling to be in danger, so he said: "You don't know martial arts, you will only distract me."

Meng Fuling's expression darkened, knowing that what he said was the truth, she was not a vexatious person, and she didn't want to hold him back, but she was really worried about Xiaodonggua.

"Good boy!" Hulu patted Meng Fuling's back, coaxing her a little like he usually coaxes Xiaowagua.

"You are General Qi, aren't you? Shang Qihao tried every means to lure you into Beijing. If you were forced to do something embarrassing for you, would you give up on Little Winter Melon?" Meng Fuling suddenly pushed the gourd away and asked the circling Questions on her mind.

She was very afraid that he would give up Xiaodonggua in order to take care of the so-called overall situation.

Hulu was stunned for a moment, "No matter what happens, I will never give up on Little Winter Melon."

Meng Fuling asked: "What if the price is not good for the imperial court?"

"Who said at the door that they believed me?" Huluyou felt a little uncomfortable.

"No matter how much I believe in you, you are not Xiaodonggua's real father."

His identity is there, and he is definitely not allowed to only care about personal affairs.

Hulu suddenly didn't know how to speak, and after a long time, he said: "You have to trust me, no matter what Shang Qihao asks, I will never give up Xiaodonggua."

Seeing that she was silent, Hulu added, "He is my son!"

"Okay, I believe you! I won't forgive you if there is anything wrong with Little Winter Melon." Meng Fuling sighed softly.

"I will definitely rescue him!" Calabash promised again and again.

******
After nightfall, Gong Lie first visited Shang Qihao's mansion, and after familiarizing himself with the terrain, Hulu went there in person.

Avoiding the guards, Hulu went straight into Shang Qihao's study. Shang Qihao seemed to know that he would come, and had already made tea and waited.

Shang Qihao was dressed in white, with one sleeve in his hand, and the other pouring hot tea into the cup. He looked up at the gourd, "Qi Xuan, you are finally here! It seems that you really care about Meng Fuling's son."

"Hand over the child!" Gourd stepped forward, concentrating his inner strength in his palm, and slapped the table hard, smashing the table and the tea set on it.

"When did you become so rude?" Shang Qihao didn't expect the gourd to shatter the table, but fortunately he dodged in time, otherwise he would be splashed by the tea.

Calabash approached Shang Qihao and repeated: "Hand over the child!"

"As long as you agree to the conditions of His Highness, the child will naturally be returned to you." Shang Qihao's overly feminine face showed a cold smile.

Hulu frowned, and said coldly: "What conditions?"

Shang Qihao glanced at the shadow guards brought by the gourd, "Let them out!"

"You stay outside!" Calabash said.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Shang Qihao said:
"Submit to His Majesty, and support His Majesty as the crown prince!"

Hulu noticed that when Shang Qihao said the word surrender, his expression was obviously different, so he asked, "How to surrender?"

"Qi Xuan, you know that His Highness has admired you for a long time!" Shang Qihao thought that Hulu asked knowingly.

The gourd froze, as if ten thousand muddy horses were galloping past in his heart.

The last time he went to Beijing, Hulu had investigated Shang Qihao, and found out that he was a former gentleman, but secretly kept a lot of male favourites. In short, like Zhang Tianming, he is a master of both sexes.

There are very few people who know about this matter, and there is no evidence, so Shang Qihao has never been punished by the emperor.

But Hulu never thought that Shang Qihao would actually say that he admired him. At this time, he was glad that Meng Fuling wasn't here with him. If she misunderstood that he was having an affair with Shang Qihao, it would be terrible.

There is no need to think too much, Hulu said directly: "Impossible!"

"If you don't agree, Meng Fuling's son will die!" Shang Qihao threatened.

Hulu snorted coldly, "I haven't seen the child since I came in, why should I promise you?"

Shang Qihao half-closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then pressed the mechanism on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing a stone door.

After the stone door was opened, a woman who was holding a child, suspected to be a nanny, came out from inside, and there were two guards guarding her.

The child was wrapped tightly, Hulu couldn't see the child's face clearly, and seeing the child was unbelievably quiet, his heart became tense, "What did you do to the child?"

He wanted to go over to look, but one of the guards took out a dagger and put it around the child's neck, forcing him to stop.

"As long as you agree to the conditions of His Highness, he will naturally be fine."

Shang Qihao said that he admired Gourd, but in his heart he blamed Gourd for not knowing how to praise him. Last time he went to Qishan County to look for Gourd, he didn't even meet him.

Several important officials in the court suddenly made a disturbance to re-establish the prince. Fortunately, Yun Suxin discovered that the gourd was hiding in Lingyun Village.

Hulu holds a powerful army and is deeply favored by the emperor. Shang Qihao wants Hulu to support him as the crown prince. It would be even better if he can become "his man".

"You are so courageous, you dare to threaten me!" Hulu hated others to threaten him the most, and wanted to slash out with a knife, but also worried about Xiaodonggua's safety.

He was about to trick Little Winter Melon into his hands first, when he happened to see a cyan birthmark on the child's exposed back of his hand.

Xiao Donggua has no birthmark, Hulu knew that this child was definitely not Xiao Donggua, so he was furious, turned his wrist, and slashed at Shang Qihao with a knife.

"Don't you like Meng Fuling? Why don't you care about her son's safety?" Shang Qihao hurriedly avoided, puzzled.

He didn't know that Hulu had discovered that the child was not a little winter melon.

"Tell me! Where did you get the child?" The gourd knife was extremely fierce, and the knife hit Shang Qihao's vital point.

When Gong Lie and the others heard the movement, they had already fought with Shang Qihao's men.

"Qi Xuan, you are reluctant to hurt His Highness, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't show mercy to His Highness."

Shang Qihao's martial arts is much worse than that of Gourd who has not lost his memory, but now he can barely draw with Gourd, so he thinks Gourd is showing mercy.

Although Hulu was disgusted in his heart, he would not tell Shang Qihao that he lost his memory and his internal strength had not fully recovered.

******
Meng Fuling still couldn't sit still, and the uneasiness in her heart never dissipated.

So, she wanted to go out, but before Hulu left the house, she told Butler Lu to take good care of her.

"Steward Lu, otherwise you send someone to accompany me outside the second prince's mansion, I want to see the child as soon as possible." Meng Fuling begged slightly.

"No!" Steward Lu flatly refused.

He asked Gong Lie, and after knowing Meng Fuling's identity, he didn't like her at all.

Xin Dao said that this woman is just a village girl who got pregnant before marriage and has a bad reputation, and now the general and Shang Qihao are confronted, how can this kind of disaster-like woman be worthy of the best general in his heart?
Of course Meng Fuling can see that Steward Lu doesn't want to see her, but she can't control that much, as long as he agrees to her leaving the house, "Steward Lu, once the child is rescued, he will definitely cry a lot. How can a big man like Hulu be coaxed?" ……”

She begged again, and every sentence focused on gourds. In the end, Steward Lu was probably annoyed by her, so he agreed to let her leave the house, but he had to accompany her.

Butler Lu found a set of men's clothes for Meng Fuling, and she disguised herself as a man.

But Butler Lu made it easier for him, and found a guard with good martial arts, and the three of them left the house together.

The General's Mansion is only three streets away from Shang Qihao's mansion, one of which is the famous Flower Street in Beijing, what is Flower Street?Nature is where there are many brothels.

They were walking on Flower Street, and the air was filled with a strong smell of powder, which made Meng Fuling cough violently.

She was about to say hurry up when she looked up and saw a young man holding a child and walking into a brothel named 'Yi Fang Lou'.

Meng Fuling only saw the child's side profile, and with her mother's intuition, she recognized it as a little winter melon at a glance, and was immediately excited, "Little winter melon!"

"What little winter melon?" Steward Lu didn't know that little winter melon was the nickname of Meng Fuling's son, so he was a little puzzled.

"It's my son!" After Meng Fuling finished speaking, she ran to Yifang Building.

"Come back! That's a brothel, you can't go!" Steward Lu shouted angrily when he saw Meng Fuling, a woman running towards the brothel.

But Meng Fuling was eager to save Xiaodonggua, so where would she stop?Helpless, Steward Lu and the guards had no choice but to follow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them entered Yifang Building, a large group of prostitutes with heavy makeup saw that they were well dressed, so they rushed over and surrounded them.

Especially Meng Fuling, she was very handsome in men's clothing, which caused those prostitutes to wink at her desperately, trying to drag her to their room.

"Get out of the way!" Meng Fuling couldn't see the man anymore, surrounded by so many prostitutes, her heart was burning like fire.I had no choice but to take out the silver bag and spill out the silver inside.

"Wow! Silver..."

Sure enough, when those prostitutes saw the silver, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly let go of Meng Fuling, and they all went crazy to grab the silver on the ground.

Meng Fuling took the opportunity to run out of the crowd. She guessed that the man should carry the child up to the second floor, so she rushed up to the second floor.

The accompanying guards thought it would be easy for Steward Lu to get rid of these prostitutes, so they followed Meng Fuling closely.

"Wait for me!" Meng Fuling ran away, so Steward Lu naturally had to chase her.

Someone shouted: "The young master was very rich just now, this uncle came with him, he should also be very rich."

With such a shout, Steward Lu was surrounded again, and was even dragged to the room by several prostitutes, "Bold! Let go!"

Steward Lu is quite old and doesn't know martial arts, how can he get rid of these wolf-like prostitutes?
In particular, this brothel has the worst business in the entire flower street. If any customers who seem to be reasonably rich come to the door, they will be scrambled for.

So, poor Steward Lu was dragged into the room by a few whores.

Besides, Meng Fuling, after she went upstairs, she didn't know which room the man had entered, so she could only yell Xiao Donggua's name, hoping that he would cry a few times when he heard his mother's voice.

As she shouted, she pushed open the doors of the rooms one by one. As a result, screams and curses arose one after another.

Most of the men and women in the room were exercising vigorously, and they were extremely upset to be disturbed by people. Some even put on their clothes and stood on the aisle to yell.

Meng Fuling didn't care about that much, when she was about to reach the penultimate room, the man she was looking for happened to be pushed out.

A woman who looked a bit aggressive, pointed at him and cursed: "I have never had a child, where can I get milk for the child? I also know that you are rich, so just bear with it, but who knows that you are just a poor ghost!"

Meng Fuling knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. The man took the little winter melon to the brothel to find someone to nurse.

If she hadn't seen that his arms were empty and the little wax gourd was gone, she would have thought it funny, where would someone go to a brothel instead of a whore, but ask a brothel prostitute to breastfeed her instead?

"Where is the child? Where is the child?" She rushed up, grabbed the man by the collar, and shouted anxiously.

The man stared at Meng Fuling for a moment, then asked, "Are you the child's father?"

Without waiting for Meng Fuling to answer, he said again: "It's really similar, but I can't hand over the child to you, unless you can prove that you are—"

Meng Fuling didn't have the patience to wait for him to finish speaking, so she pushed him away vigorously and rushed into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiaodonggua lying on the bed waving his hands and feet.

She ran over in a hurry and picked up Xiaodonggua. Seeing her, Xiaodonggua seemed to recognize her, and giggled.

Meng Fuling was very excited, as if the cut heart had been mended again, calming down the lingering pain in her heart, she checked the little wax gourd carefully.

Not only did he not lose weight, but his face was rounder, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, great! Little Winter Melon, you are finally back with Mother." Meng Fuling couldn't help crying with joy.

The man also came over, and said strangely: "Hey! He saw you so excited, it seems that you are really his relatives. But, aren't you his father? Why have you become a mother again?"

Meng Fuling couldn't help feeling amused when she heard these silly words, and she also saw that he was not a malicious person, but didn't the little wax gourd fall into Shang Qihao's hands?

This man should not belong to Shang Qihao, if he came to Beijing, he would definitely give the little winter melon to Shang Qihao, maybe he saved the little winter melon.

correct!Hulu went to Shang Qihao's house now, he didn't know that Xiaodonggua was no longer in Shang Qihao's hands, and would definitely be under Shang Qihao's control.

Thinking of this, Meng Fuling became anxious and wanted to tell Hulu.

"You haven't answered me yet? I have to confirm that you are the child's father or mother before I can return the child to you." Seeing that Meng Fuling was about to leave, the man pulled her by the sleeve to prevent her from leaving.

"I'm his mother, and he has a small mole on the back of his neck." Meng Fuling said.

"So you're a woman!" The man said in surprise. Seeing that Meng Fuling hadn't looked at the back of the little wax gourd's neck, he told her exactly where the mole was, so he believed her.

Meng Fuling felt that this person was a bit long-winded, but she was very anxious, so she could only say: "Brother, please leave your address and name, and I will come back tomorrow to thank you for saving the dog."

She also wanted to know how the little wax gourd fell into this man's hands, but she was really in no mood to chat with him right now.

The man didn't know if his skin was too thick, or he didn't know how to read people's faces, so he said: "There is no need for tomorrow, what do you want to do, I will accompany you!"

"No need!" Meng Fuling was about to vomit blood, impatient to talk nonsense with him, and ran away holding the little wax gourd.

But he pursued closely, and the guards wanted to stop him, but they were not his opponents, so they couldn't stop him.

The three of them ran out of Yifang Building, leaving the prostitute hopping on the spot, "Hey! I haven't paid you any money yet!"

******
Meng Fuling completely forgot about Steward Lu, led the way by the guards, and went straight to Shang Qihao's mansion.

Not far from Flower Street, I saw Hulu and Gong Lie walking towards her.

When the gourd approached, Meng Fuling could see that he was covered in blood, and knew that he had just committed a murder, "Are you not injured?"

Hulu was originally a little unhappy to see Meng Fuling leaving the house without authorization, but after seeing Xiaodonggua, the huge stone in his heart finally fell, "I'm fine, how did you find Xiaodonggua?"

"It was this elder brother who saved Little Winter Melon..." Meng Fuling looked at the man, and told Hulu what happened in Yifang Tower,

Because of the presence of this strange man, she didn't ask Hulu about the situation in Shang Qihao's residence.

"Who are you?" Calabash shifted his gaze to the man's face.

As if he didn't see the blood on the gourd, the man recounted how he saved the little wax gourd. At the end, he smiled at Meng Fuling: "My name is Luo Yunhao, what's your name?"

Hulu was dissatisfied with Luo Yunhao and asked Meng Fuling's boudoir name directly, but Gong Lie was a little surprised when he heard Luo Yunhao's name, but didn't say much.

Meng Fuling didn't tell him his name, but only thought that when she was in the brothel, she seemed to hear the prostitute say that he had no money, so she asked Hulu to take out the silver bag, "Thank you for saving—"

She handed the silver bag to Luo Yunhao, but he pushed her hand away and interrupted her, "Anyone who encounters such injustice will come to the rescue. Giving the money would be too insulting to me. If you really If you want to thank me, why not invite me to be your guest for a few days."

At first, Meng Fuling thought that he was not trying to reciprocate, but when she heard what happened next, she immediately turned black. How shameless is this person?How can anyone ask to be a guest at someone else's house?
"Don't get me wrong, I spent a few days with this little guy, and spent all my money looking for milk for him. No matter what, I still have feelings. I just want to stay with him for a few more days."

Luo Yunhao hurriedly waved his hands and said, when he spoke, he looked at Xiaodonggua with some reluctance.

But from Hulu's point of view, Luo Yunhao's reluctance to bear the little wax gourd is a lie, most likely he was planning to attack Meng Fuling, and when he was about to get angry, Gong Lie said with sound transmission: "General, I have heard about this person, he is indeed chivalrous Cheese."

After Hulu heard this, his anger gradually subsided, and he nodded secretly to Meng Fuling.

Meng Fuling didn't want to take back a person she just met, what if the wolf was lured into the house?Just about to refuse them on the grounds that they are also borrowing from someone else's house, but hearing what Hulu said, he couldn't help being surprised, why did he suddenly become so generous?
******
In the end, in order to prevent the identity of Hulu from being revealed, they did not bring Luo Yunhao back to the General's Mansion.

Gong Lie took them to Hulu's other house in Beijing. Few people knew that this house belonged to Hulu.

If Gong Lie hadn't brought them here, Gourd himself wouldn't even remember it. As soon as Meng Fuling came, he immediately found a room and closed the door to feed the little winter melon.

After the little wax gourd was full, Meng Fuling remembered something, "Oops! Gourd!

Hulu heard Meng Fuling's anxious cry, thought something happened, and hurriedly kicked the door in, seeing that she was fine, she was relieved, "What's the matter?"

"I left Steward Lu in Yifang Building." Meng Fuling saw the hunger and thirst of those prostitutes, and was afraid that Steward Lu would be killed by something.

"It's okay, Steward Lu will go back home by himself." Hulu didn't know what Meng Fuling was worried about, so he didn't care much.

"But—" Meng Fuling wanted to say something, but Hulu closed the door and asked, "Don't you want to know how I solved Shang Qihao?"

Meng Fuling was shocked, the word 'solve' made her think that Hulu killed Shang Qihao.

Shang Qihao is a prince after all, how could he kill him casually?She said nervously, "Solve it? You won't kill him, will you?"
