Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 293 Reunion

Huo Shijiu didn't answer immediately after hearing the words, but slowly lowered the window screen, covering the magnificent palace outside the window with the screen curtain, as if he could also hide his complicated mood.In a trance, he thought of the first emperor, the scene when he saw the little emperor for the first time, the tension of the Great Yan Dynasty when the first emperor passed away, and his promise, and the day he went into the palace, I saw a child in the bedroom wearing loose pajamas living in a cold bedroom without a charcoal basin.

A nine-year-old child, trained by the former emperor, may not be called precocious, but he is still more sensible than ordinary children of the same age.He was obviously full of fear, but he still put on a majestic posture that an emperor should have, and he was careful to please and get close to him...

Although he stubbornly called him "Brother Ying".But in his heart, he treats him as his own child.

Sure enough, there are cruel children in this world, but are there no cruel parents?
"Let's go to Yi County first. If parents and Wu'er are gone, what else will I talk about in the future." Huo Shijiu closed his eyes and said, "Go back to the mansion first and bring him, and you can get in the car too take a break."

Cao Yu sighed and followed his instructions.

Originally, the journey only took one day, and Huo Shijiu was in a hurry, so the group arrived in Yi County in the evening.

Along the way, Huo Shijiu had already replenished his sleep. At this time, he was much more energetic and calm. Before entering the city, he and Cao Yu took people to the ruined temple.

The setting sun was slanting to the west, and the warm sunlight slanted into the temple, and the figures of the two little beggars squatting in the corner with a bonfire toasting steamed buns were outlined slightly bleak.

Hearing that someone came in, the little beggar exclaimed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Cao Yu immediately flew forward to stop the two of them, and said, "Why are you panicking? See if you can't do it after eating?"

"Master, sir, we really don't know anything, please forgive me!"

As soon as their knees softened, they both knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, not caring about the dust they ate while breathing.When their foreheads touched the ground, the two saw a pair of soap boots and blue robes in front of them.The inside of the robe was brocade embroidered with bamboo leaves, and the outside was a layer of gauze mixed with silver threads, it looked like it was only worn by nobles.

The two dared not raise their heads anymore.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a cold and gentle voice: "You don't need to panic, answer me a few questions."

"Yes, sir."

"Listen to what you just said, someone came to ask you what's the matter before?"

"Yes...Master, we dare not lie. Two groups of people did come to ask about what they heard and saw the night before."

"Two groups of people? What are they like?"

"All, they are all like the uncle, well-dressed nobles."

"Then what did you hear and what did you see?"

The two little beggars looked at each other, and then told the truth again: "It was raining that day, and we had some food, so we didn't go into the city. Who knows, a large number of beggars came. More than a dozen or 20 people said they wanted to rest here. Tell us to get out of here. We couldn’t fight, and we were afraid of being beaten, so we had to leave, and went into the city while the city gate was open. As a result When I came back early the next morning, I found that the large group of beggars had left, and later, I heard that many dead people were dug up in the forest, and the government intervened.

After hearing this, Huo Shijiu nodded, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it to them, and said, "Go and buy food." He turned outside, and Cao Yu immediately led his people to follow.

The two little beggars picked up the silver ingot with trembling hands, they only kowtowed because they met the gods and watched the green gown go away.
Cao Yu asked in a low voice, "Master, why don't you go to the forest?"

Huo Jiujiu nodded silently, walked towards the forest, and said as he walked, "Look at the ruined temple just now, the ground is very clean."

Cao Yu recalled it and nodded.

"Not only is the ground clean, but there are also three bonfires, and the ashes are still there."

"Yes. Master, what do you see?"

Huo Shijiu said, "According to what those two people said, the large group of beggars who came earlier to drive them away are probably assassins. Since those assassins have to do something, they are just waiting in the ruined temple, maybe they still want to attract people. If you take the bait, it will definitely not be easy to clean up."

"That's the reason."

"Besides, it's been raining for the past few days. It's very wet outside, but the ground in the ruined temple is clean, and even the dust on the ruined altar table is very little. There are footprints back and forth, and there are some mixed footprints in the hall where we were standing just now." Speaking of this, Huo Jiujiu looked at Cao Yu with bright eyes: "Mo Ran, tell me, who could be idle and bored, go and put Has the ruined temple been cleaned up? If Qi’er Xijie, they wouldn’t have left footprints, and everything should be clean.”

"Master, you mean..." Cao Yu said excitedly, "Maybe it's the old man and his wife, the whole family has been resettled in the temple? After all, there are women and children in the family. Even if they are temporarily resettled, they must be clean." Stay here."

"Yes." Huo Shijiu took a deep breath, feeling full of energy, and said: "It is enough to prove that they were resettled here after the incident. Since they are resettled, at least their lives will be safe."

"Yeah!" Cao Yu slapped his hands, and when he reached the woods, he was about to go in, but Cao Yu suddenly felt something was wrong, and whispered, "Who?" At the same time, he crossed his arms to protect Huo Jiujiu behind him.

From behind a thick poplar tree a few steps away, a burly middle-aged man in an indigo cotton jacket turned around and cupped his hands at Huo Shijiu: "Jin Ninghou, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's you?!" Although Huo Shijiu didn't know his name, he knew that he was a confidant who was by Wenda Jiahun's side!

"Villain Namu, I met Marquis Jinning. The villain has been waiting for Marquis Jinning for two days."

Huo Shijiu took two steps forward and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"Now your family and your wife are resettling in Maocheng with our master. Before leaving, the master originally discussed with his wife to go to the capital to report to you, but the lady said that she was worried that the matter would be revealed and troubles would happen again. Don’t take risks and say that you will definitely come in person, leaving the villain here to wait for you.”

"You said...Wu'er is safe? Are her parents and relatives safe?" Joy suddenly fell on his head, and Huo Jiujiu's voice trembled with excitement.

Namu proudly said: "With your master and hidden guards around, why are you afraid of a few assassins? But your subordinates are also men, and they all fought to the last moment to delay the assassins. It can be seen that you are also a good master, otherwise they would not will be loyal to you."

At this moment, Huo Shijiu had no intention of listening to the truth or flattery at all. He only wanted to see his family members eagerly, so he discussed with Namu and set off for Maocheng immediately.

Namu is also a hearty person, so he immediately agreed, mixed in Huo Shijiu's team, and changed into a servant's attire.A group of people rushed on the road at full speed and took a detour for a day and a half to arrive at the gate of a Xunzhaiyuan in the east of Maocheng City.

When getting out of the car, Huo Shijiu's feet were numb from sitting for a long time, as if a small bug was gnawing mercilessly, he supported the carriage for a long time.

Jiang Wu and Huo Yanyi, who got the news, came out first, and saw Huo Jiujiu, who was still as handsome as ever, with his blue clothes wrinkled and loose hair, they both had the joy of remaining in their lives after the catastrophe.

"Big brother."

"Aying!"

Huo Eranyi was standing in front of the door, but Jiang Wu rushed forward in the blink of an eye, hugged Huo Shijiu with her arms wrapped around his neck, and her cheek touched his chest: "Aying, you are really here!" slow!"

Huo Shijiu was taken a small step by her hind legs, hugged her tightly with both hands without hesitation, touched her smooth forehead with his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's fine, it's fine." Pushing her away, looking up and down: "How are you? How are you? How are your parents?"

"Thanks to Daying, the whole family is safe and well. Dad just suffered a little injury from a fall. He didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but he was bruised in a few places." Jiang Wu said with a smile: "You didn't bring your tails when you came, did you?"

Cao Yu had already looked at Jiang Wu for a long time, and now he smiled at the right moment: "Madam, don't worry, I checked, and no one followed."

"Then come in, let's talk slowly."

Jiang Wu pulled Huo Shijiu into the courtyard gate.

Because Huo Shijiu brought too many people, the courtyard just entered couldn't accommodate them at all, and Cao Yu was worried that Huo Shijiu would be in trouble, so he chose a few people to stay, and the rest went to live in the inn across the street, listening to them at any time. ordered.

In the courtyard, Huo Chuliu had already held Huo Shijiu's arm, and said joyfully, "Sister-in-law is right, she said you would come, and you really came."

Jiang Jiaoxiao blushed and called out, "Third brother-in-law."

Seeing that his family members were all fine, including Qiao's mother, Bing Song and others who came with him, Huo Shijiu finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for several days.Together with Jiang Wu, Huo Eranyi, and Huo Chuliu, they went to the main room in Danqi.

In the room, Huo Dashuan was talking to Wen Dajiahun outside, while Zhao, Tang, Jiang Yan and the wet nurse were all holding Liujin in the back room.

As soon as Huo Shijiu entered the door, Huo Dashuan laughed: "You brat, you're here!"

"Father!" Huo Shijiu knelt on the ground and walked a few steps on his knees: "My son is unfilial, and his parents have suffered."

Mrs. Zhao and the others had already pulled up the curtain and came out to help them: "Flesh and blood of the whole family, what are you talking about? This time, it is thanks to Mr. Da again. Ah Ying, you have to thank him well."

"Yes."

Huo Shijiu stood up and looked at Wenda Jiahun, who was dressed in a sapphire blue gown, handsome and majestic.

"Master Da, long time no see."

"Yeah, I can't think of seeing you again, it's still like this." Wen Da Jiahui's tone was quite mocking, "Can you forget what you said last time? Or is it too difficult for you to live in peace? gone."

Seeing that Huo Shijiu didn't wait to thank him, Daying had already said his harsh words, Huo Dashuan and Zhao Shi were both surprised and embarrassed.

Huo Shijiu said seriously: "What you said is true. It is indeed my lack of thoughtfulness that caused today's trouble. You saved my family once again. I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

"No, I'm not because of you. I'm looking at Jiang Wu."
