The strongest investment emperor

Chapter 179

When he opened the door, there was a maid Xiaodie whose eyes were red from crying.

Xiaoyue looked at her a little strangely, how could she be so sad on her young master's day today?

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Liu Cheng also heard Xiaodie's sobbing, and asked, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong? Who is crying?"

"Miss, it's Xiaodie who is crying!" Xiaoyue replied, "Go in first, let's talk after we get in!"

Sitting upright on the bed, Liu Cheng asked softly, "Xiaodie, what can you tell me? What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"

As soon as Xiaodie saw Liu Cheng, she called out "Young Madam" and cried even louder.

Xiaoyue and Liu Cheng took some time to comfort Xiaodie, and then Xiaodie told them all about what happened outside.

After listening to Xiaodie's words, Liu Cheng didn't care about the rules, so he took off the hijab, ran in front of Xiaodie, took her hand and asked, "Did Brother Huan really be taken away by them? Parents didn't stop them?"

"Yes! At that time, the young master was already drunk and did not resist at all. The master originally wanted to buy the captain with money, but the captain was not moved by the money at all, and took the young master away without hesitation. , and said that anyone who dares to stop them will be executed on the spot, so everyone dared not speak up and let the sergeants take them away."

Liu Cheng fell to the ground all of a sudden, his eyes lost their original color in an instant, the nine-colored phoenix crown on his head fell down, and a few strands of blue hair hung down, suddenly showing a sense of desolation.

Xiaoyue and Xiaodie were startled when they saw Liu Cheng like this.

Now the master is in a state of confusion, and the wife is even more unconscious. If something happens to the young lady, then the Chu family will really have no leader.

So Xiaodie hurriedly persuaded: "Young Madam, you are under pressure to take care of your health now, you are the hope of the Chu family, if something happens to you, then the Chu family will really be over."

"Yes! I am the hope of the Chu family now. I must take good care of this family. Otherwise, when Brother Huan comes back, if he sees the family's decline, he will definitely scold me!"

Xiaodie's persuasion brought some gleam back to Liu Cheng's eyes.

Liu Cheng stood up and patted the ashes on his body, "Xiaoyue, Xiaodie, let's go out! Now the Chu family can't have someone to take charge of the overall situation!"

……

In the evening, by a small stream.

Chu Huan snorted softly, and Yoyo woke up with a severe headache, which made him frown.

The person next to him noticed that he was awake, so he quickly took one over and asked, "Brother Huan, are you feeling better?"

Chu Huan rubbed his temples, and when he got better, he nodded to this person, who was his close friend.

He slowly looked at the surrounding environment, a little confused, and looked at people asking, "Xiaojun, where is this? Aren't we drinking at my house? Why are we here? Where are my father and others? Where are they? went?"

The young man named Xiaojun heard Chu Huan's question, his face was ashamed, and he sat there slumped, not knowing what to say.

Chu Huan looked at Xiaojun like this, and saw a few soldiers changing guards, and seemed to understand something.

This is an older person who came over and gave Chu Huan a water bottle, "You should take a sip first! I believe you should feel a little uncomfortable now, and you will feel better if you take a sip, otherwise you will be afraid when you know the truth later." It is unacceptable!"

Chu Huan picked up the kettle, opened the lid, took a sip, then wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at him, and asked, "What's going on here? Why are we here?"

Around them, there were more than 20 people. Although Chu Huan didn't know most of these people, they were from the same town after all, so they were familiar with each other.

In addition, there are more than a dozen soldiers outside them, surrounding them like prisoners.

The older man sat down close to Chu Huan, took a sip of water, and then said, "We are now on our way to the northern battlefield."

After the captain captured people in another town in the afternoon, he started to drive north. After that, he would catch people from several towns along the way, and the task would be completed.

"Go to the battlefield in the north?"

Chu Huan was shocked. How could he go back to the battlefield in the north?I never said that I would apply for it!Did they arrest people by force?

The older man seemed to see what Chu Huan was thinking, "That's right! They were the ones who were forcibly arrested. Almost none of the people who drank wedding wine at your Chu's and Liu's houses today escaped, and they directly took it all at once."

"Why would they do this?"

Chu Huan still couldn't accept it. What kind of joke was this? After sleeping, he was about to be sent to the battlefield?
"Why? No reason! It's just because the army is short of cannon fodder."

The older man laughed at himself, his smile seemed very bleak.

"Didn't you try to escape?"

Chu Huan was not reconciled, he was brought here before he even lifted Cheng'er's red hijab himself, how could he be reconciled?He wanted to serve the country, but that was only on his own volition, and doing so would only chill his heart!

When did the imperial court they so wholeheartedly protect turn into such an existence?We don’t have enough troops, so we arrest people by force?This is really chilling!
"Escape? You can try it! You can ask him about the result." He smiled grinningly, and pointed to the boy named Xiaojun.

Xiaojun trembled disobediently when he heard Chu Huan say that he was running away just now. Now that this man pointed and asked, his face became even paler and his pupils became bigger. Obviously, he had experienced something terrible before.

Looking at Xiaojun's appearance, Chu Huan knew that it was impossible to escape. These people's courage had obviously been shattered, and they never dared to escape again. Even if he wanted to escape, he would be powerless alone.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you just let them take you to the front line?"

For some reason, Chu Huan felt that this person was a bit different. He didn't have much fear on his face, nor did he have the slumped look on his face.

"I don't care! Anyway, I'm alone everywhere, and no one cares about life and death. What am I worried about? But you, it's really pitiful. On the day of your wedding, you were forcibly arrested and become a young man. You seem to be a bride You haven’t even lifted your hijab yet? What a pity!”

The man looked into Chu Huan's eyes, and said tut-tsk, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

When Chu Huan heard what he said, his face suddenly darkened. He didn't slap people in the face, or scolded people without exposing their shortcomings. This man told Chu Huan the most uncomfortable thing in his heart at this time, and naturally he felt unhappy!
"If you still want to go back, live well! Three years, as long as you live on the battlefield for three years, then you can retire and go back. If you die on the battlefield, you can only It can be said that you deserve to die!"

After saying this, he ignored Chu Huan and left straight away.

……

The Chu family suffered such a catastrophe, and their reputation and reputation suffered a great blow. It was even rumored in Luoxia Town that the Chu family should join forces with others in order to get all the young and strong men in the town together so that the soldiers could arrest them. Huan was taken away, but it was just a play for others to watch.

Such rumors and rumors show the seriousness of this matter. No matter how good the reputation of the Chu family was before, after their children were caught on the battlefield, after these people couldn't find a place to vent, they naturally wanted to find a vent .

At this time, the Chu family was also in chaos and had no time to care about the rumors outside.Chu Huan's mother has been in a coma since she heard that Chu Huan was taken away. No matter how the doctor treats her, the wife still doesn't see any improvement.

The same goes for Chu Huan's father. After this incident, his mind was greatly shocked, and he was aged in his teens in an instant. No matter how chaotic the family was, he had no energy to take care of it.

Fortunately, Liu Cheng is still there, and with his identity as the young wife, he handles the affairs of the Chu family, but he is just a weak woman, how could he handle the affairs perfectly?The family business of the Chu family was still in decline, even with the help of Liu Cheng's father, the Liu family, they still couldn't resist the rumors outside and the insiders taking advantage of the fire.

Liu Cheng managed the Chu family for three years!
In three years, she has changed from an ignorant and green girl to a family head who is in charge of the family and is not ashamed.

Chu Huan's mother finally woke up, but after that, her spirit became a little abnormal, and she often sat in one place, chanting words like "my baby ~ my baby ~", and the doctor also She came to the conclusion that she was suffering from longing, and if she couldn't see her son, she might not get better.

Chu Huan's father has basically recovered and helped Liu Cheng take care of the Chu family, but he no longer has the courage to deal with things as before, and he still spends more time with Chu Huan's mother.

Under the setting sun, the two snuggled up in the courtyard, watching the autumn wind blowing the fallen leaves, silently not talking.

Standing in the distance, Liu Cheng looked at the lonely backs of the two, and murmured: "Father, don't worry! I will definitely bring Brother Huan back."

……

"Have you really thought about it? This business is definitely full of difficulties. At this time, the world is in chaos, and people are everywhere. Only ours is a piece of pure land. If you leave here, maybe..."

"Father, don't talk about it. I know that my daughter has already prepared it. This idea has already been brewed, and it was not a whim. Besides, Dad, you also know that Brother Huan's parents are like that. The doctor said that only Brother Huan They might get better when they come back, and you don't want to see them go on like this?"

He sighed, thinking how high-spirited Chu Huan's father was back then!Even he was very envious, otherwise he would not have betrothed his daughter to Chu Huan, but the heavens did not go his way, and a shocking change caused such a catastrophe that the previous high-spirited head of the Chu family was long gone, and now only Just a father looking forward to the early return of his son.

"No, you can't go!" Liu Cheng's mother had been eavesdropping outside, and she would never agree to hear that her daughter was actually going to the front line to find Chu Huan.

His mother didn't agree with him going, Liu Cheng had already prepared in his heart, but he didn't expect his mother to barge in while he was still talking to his father.

"Mother, didn't you tell me before? Do girls have to abide by the three obediences and four virtues? Now that I'm married to Brother Huan, I'm a member of the Chu family. Then I must go to him, not just for the sake of Huan. Brother's parents are also for me!"

Indeed, she valued rules more than anything else, but now she wanted her daughter to go to the front line to find Chu Huan, she would never say anything in her heart.

"However, three years have passed, and Chu Huan is dead, so why do you need to look for him again? What's the use of finding a dead bone?"

"No! Brother Huan is not dead, I can feel it!"

Liu Cheng looked into his mother's eyes and said firmly.

She believed that Chu Huan must be waiting for her somewhere, just like when she was a child.

"Brother Chu Huan, wait for me~ Cheng'er is afraid!" Two small figures ran on the way back to Luoxia Town.

"Cheng'er, don't be afraid! I'll wait for you at the front, take your time at the back!"

The young boy's voice became farther and farther away, and under the darkness, the girl could no longer see his back.

The girl ran helplessly, no matter how much she chased after him, she still couldn't catch up with the boy.

When she had given up crying, the boy appeared in front of her again, and said with a smile, "Cheng'er, you are a coward! Didn't you say that I will wait for you in front? Why are you so afraid of this?"

The little girl looked happy when she saw the boy descending from the sky, but when she thought of him running up in front of her without waiting for her and even teasing her, she was very angry: "Brother Chu Huan, you are so annoying! Cheng'er will never like you again Already!"

"That's what you said! Then I'll leave!" The boy smiled and really left again.

Seeing him leaving again, the little girl had no choice but to continue chasing him. Then there was the cry of the little girl, and then the laughter of the boy.

Just like that, on the road from Luoxia Mountain to Luoxia Town, the two of them were laughing, crying, and running...
