Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 79: Subutai Comes to Northern Xinjiang
"My lady is also afraid of someone." The old monster Zeng Yi said jokingly.
"You old weirdo, you dare to joke with me, I'll teach you a lesson." After saying this, the Iron Lady twisted the old weirdo's ear.
One of them twisted his body while the other dodged, and soon they ran far away.
"Wife, are you tired? Come, let me give you a shoulder massage." Situ Jin said as he gently tapped Xia Luo's thin shoulder with his fist.
"I miss Xuanxuan and Zimo. I wonder if the two children have grown taller?" Xia Luo leaned her head on Situ Jin's abdomen, feeling a warmth she had never felt before.
"They are taken care of by my mother and uncle. We will go back after we have arranged things here. You will be a 15-year-old next year. I will give you a surprise then."
Situ Jin's voice was unusually gentle, and his breath blew on Charlotte's ears, making Charlotte a little drowsy.
She really wanted to have a good sleep on the big bed in the space.
"General! The northern bandit vanguard officer Subutai requests to see you." The guard came over to report to Situ Jin.
If Subutai didn't go to the Northern Frontier to meet him, why did he come to the Northern Frontier?
The two looked at each other, both confused.
Charlotte suddenly remembered the painting in her space.
And there is what Luo Yang said to her when he was in exile.
I didn't talk much with my mother when I went to southern Xinjiang. I'll have a good chat with her next time.
"Okay, send a message and invite him to my tent." Xia Luo and Situ Jin stood up and walked towards the tent.
As soon as Situ Jin sat down, Subutai came in.
"Thank you for your hard work, Vanguard Officer, for coming from afar!" Situ Jin and him used to be sworn enemies, fighting on the battlefield, but now the two countries are on good terms. They also want to live in peace.
"General, you are too polite. Thank you for letting bygones be bygones. Subutai would like to thank you here." Subutai spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a calculating man.
"General Su, we seem to have met in Beikou." Situ Jin meant that you didn't meet in Beikou, and you must have something wrong if you came so far.
"We met at the palace banquet. There were so many people, so I didn't have a chance to reminisce with the general." Subutai still did not state the purpose of his visit.
"However, Princess Huilan is a very good cook. I envy her very much."
"You didn't come all the way here to eat the food I cooked?" Charlotte couldn't stand it any longer.
"No, no, no. How dare I trouble Princess Huilan to cook for me. I came here today because I do have something to tell you." Subutai hesitated to speak.
"Please go ahead, it's irrelevant." Situ Jin glanced at him and said while pouring tea.
"Is Princess Huilan's mother Tielihua, the leader of the Yi tribe in southern Xinjiang?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? How do you know my mother?"
"At that banquet in the palace, I saw that you looked exactly like your mother when she was young. I wanted to come and verify it myself."
"I used to have a portrait of your mother, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in a fire."
"Who painted that portrait?"
"Your father. He drew three portraits in total. I have one, and Luo Yang has another. I don't know where the other one is."
Your father's ancestral home is from the Northern Bandits. Your grandfather was once a military officer of the Northern Bandits and taught me martial arts. He was a very upright person and offended the Khan's elder brother. Your father was only five years old at that time. The whole family was exiled to the Western Xinjiang.
The western Xinjiang is covered with yellow sand, but the locals also produce melons and grapes.
In order to support his wife and children, your grandfather planted large areas of melons and grapes in the desert.
But they couldn't be transported out. So your grandfather secretly bribed the yamen runners and sent the melons and raisins to the post station in the city. At that time, he exchanged many melons and raisins for daily necessities and food.
They lived there for eight years. Later, the emperor issued a general amnesty and they returned to the Central Plains.
Your father has been exposed to business since he was a child.
He tried selling melons and raisins.
Later, your father took out melons and raisins to trade with foreign countries. As a result, he made a lot of money.
From then on, whenever he saw something that could be traded, he would go for it.
Later he went to southern Xinjiang to sell pear wood.
He eventually became a real businessman.
It was at that time that I met your mother.
But they were together for not long before your father passed away.
Because they had money, people started to covet it, and your father left home for fear of bringing trouble to your mother.
Before he left, he gave two portraits of your mother to Luo Yang and me.
At that time, Luo Yang was exiled in southern Xinjiang. He and Luo Yang felt that they had met too late.
Just wait until you see your mother fifteen years later and give her the portrait.
When he comes back, he will give us some silver.
We studied this portrait for a long time but couldn't figure out its meaning.
"I feel guilty. I lost the portrait. Please punish me. I feel sorry for my friend."
"Does Luo Yang know who I am?"
"If he had seen you, he would know. You look so much like your mother."
"Where is my father now?"
"No one knows where he is. He will come back on time."
"Then he doesn't know I exist."
"He probably doesn't know. If he knows and doesn't come back, it means something has happened."
"Are there any other clues?" Situ Jin listened for a long time before speaking.
"Why didn't he give all the portraits to his mother at that time? Why did he let you two give them to her after so many years?" Charlotte analyzed the key.
"Maybe there's something else going on."
"Thank you for providing so much information. General Su, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. I am not talented, but I will never refuse to help you if I can."
"I really have something to ask of you."
"please say."
"I have a useless son who has no interest in martial arts and is obsessed with being a chef. Do you think there is anything suitable for him in Northern Xinjiang? Please give him some advice."
"Sure. We are going to withdraw part of our restaurant back to Kyoto. Let him come to Cao Zhize to make arrangements. But I don't have the final say on the money."
"Great, I'll bring the person over tomorrow."
After Subutai left, Xia Luo asked Situ Jin, "Do you think my father left because he knew about my existence?"
"Fifteen years is a question?" Charlotte tilted her neck in thought.
"Don't think about it. This part is already very tiring. Come on, call Master and his mistress. Let's go eat hotpot." He asked the guards to find Master and his mistress.
Situ Jin pulled Charlotte's little hand and held it habitually.
They came to the restaurant and everyone inside knew them.
"The great hero of Mobei Kingdom is here!" Some old man saw Situ Jin pulling Xia Luo in.
The diners all stood up and looked at them with admiration.
Xia Luo was embarrassed to let Situ Jin hold her hand, so she struggled back, but the hand became tighter and tighter.
Situ Jin smiled and waved to the diners, then put his arm around Charlotte's shoulder and went up to the private room on the second floor.
"Let me go. Everyone envies you for being a hero. Don't damage your image!" Charlotte sat down angrily.
"You are the real hero. Without you, there would be no peace in Northern Desert today. Without you, how can I be called this? Without you, Xuanxuan, Zimo might not be suffering there. Without you, the people of Northern Desert would not have the life they have today."
Situ Jin said this affectionately.
"Yes, my disciple is a lucky star. He is also popular. I searched half of the Northern Desert for your master's wife, and she found me without any effort."
"Yes, when Luo Luo goes back to southern Xinjiang next time, Second Aunt will go back with you. I haven't seen my eldest sister for ten years."
"I'll go too. Take me and my grandson and granddaughter with you." The old medical geek was like a child.
