My Heaven-Defying Spirit

Chapter 18 Jiayuan City

A fast horse galloped across the snow. In a few days, Mingguang Jun came to Jiayuan City from Nandu City. To be honest, he had never been to Jiayuan City. Rather than the Northern Territory, Mingguang Jun and Luo Yuqing’s wedding was held in Da’an, and they also met in Da’an City.

Looking at Jiayuan City, which was no less prosperous than Da'an City, Mingguang Jun's horse slowed down unconsciously. Slowly, his horse came to the outside of Luo's mansion.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Because it was my first time visiting my wife's hometown, I felt a little nervous for some reason.

"Who is it?" A crisp voice came from inside the house. The door slowly opened a crack, and only one eye peeked out.

"Who are you? We don't accept servants now."

Huh? Hearing this, Mingguang Jun was stunned. He stood there in a daze for a while and didn't know what to say. Then he suddenly realized that he looked like a beggar, with snow all over his body and clothes that he hadn't changed in time because of the long journey.

While Mingguang Jun was still thinking, the servant was about to close the door, but Mingguang Jun blocked the door with his hand. If he didn't explain, he really couldn't get in.

"I'm looking for your young lady. Just tell her that Guangjun is late," Mingguangjun said to the servant apologetically. In fact, he didn't need to be so humble. When the servant heard the name, he felt familiar.

He looked at Ming Guangjun in front of him again. Although his clothes were tattered, he was still mentally normal. He should not be a fool.

"You just wait here, I'll go call the young lady out." After saying that, he closed the door. Mingguang-jun wanted to say something, but he stopped himself and just waited quietly at the door.

After a while, there were hurried footsteps coming from the door. The footsteps were a little hurried, but they slowed down as they approached the door, and gradually became silent. After nearly half a while, the door was finally pushed open, but this time the person who poked his head out was not the servant, but a lady with dignified manners.

"Husband" The one who opened the door was Luo Yuqing. After the servant informed her, she hurried out of her courtyard without even having time to tidy up her clothes, which looked a little messy.

When Luo Yuqing's appearance came into Mingguang Jun's sight, he hugged the lady in front of him tightly.

The servant beside him was already dumbfounded. He just thought that the name sounded familiar. Now seeing the intimate behavior between the two, he finally understood that this was the ideal husband for his young lady. The servant was sweating profusely because of what he had just said. He had mistakenly thought that the man in front of him was applying for a servant position in Luo Mansion. It would be bad if he caused trouble for him.

This was not the fault of the servants who were far away in Jiayuan City. When Mingguang Jun and Luo Yuqing got married in Da'an City, they had heard of him, but they had only heard of his name and had never seen him in person. Now, the servant suddenly felt that although the man in front of him was disheveled and had messy hair, his facial features were still majestic and handsome. He thought that he was worthy of being the one that his young lady liked.

Fortunately, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they entered the Luo Mansion in a loving manner, not noticing the servants with wide eyes beside them. This made these people feel relieved.

At this time, the two of them also entered the mansion and came to the small courtyard where Luo Yuqing usually lived. Although the man in front of them often abandoned them at home, Luo Yuqing did not find it strange. After all, he was her husband, and he was not only her husband, but also a general of the Da'an Dynasty, so she had no complaints about this.

But in Mingguang Jun's opinion, he actually felt a lot of guilt towards the mother and daughter. He knew that he could not accompany them often, so he often sent letters home from the army. However, how could cold paper be compared with passionate people? Therefore, he only married Luo Yuqing as his wife at home, and did not take a concubine. This was because he felt guilty about the mother and daughter, and secondly, he had been fighting on the front line all year round and did not have so much time to do these things.

Although the two did not meet often, they sat facing each other without speaking, just silently looking at everything on each other.

At this time, Mingguang Jun spoke first: "Yuqing, it seems that you are living well here. I don't miss you much anymore."

There was relief in his tone. He was naturally happy to see that his wife was safe and sound. He also knew that when the Western Barbarians invaded, his father-in-law also took his daughter back to her parents' home.

"My husband, why do you say that? I don't blame you, but you have lost a lot of weight compared to before." Looking at Mingguang Jun's wrinkled face that had been worn out by fighting on the battlefield for a long time, she stroked it with heartache.

At this moment, the door outside was pushed open, and a child's tender voice came from the doorway: "Mom, I'm hungry!"

At this time, Ming Huaishang lazily pushed the door open and saw the two of them being affectionate with each other. This scene also made the two of them panic instantly, and they quickly stood up from their chairs.

"Father, why are you here?" Ming Huaishang recognized Ming Guangjun sitting on the chair at a glance. Although he had not met this father many times, he still remembered him clearly.

When Luo Yuqing saw that his son hadn't seen his father for a long time, and the first thing he said was "Why are you here?", his face instantly became unhappy. However, Ming Guangjun on the side didn't expect so much. He just walked towards Ming Huaishang with a smile on his face.

"Jun'er has grown up so much, come and let dad hug you!" Looking at his son Mingguangjun's face is also full of smiles. After all, he only has this one son, and he dotes on him very much.

Looking at Mingguang Jun who was walking in front of him, Ming Huaishang subconsciously took two steps back. It was not that he hated his father, but his soul was an adult. When he was really treated as a son, he felt a little awkward. As for Luo Yuqing, the mother, firstly, they had been together for a long time, and secondly, Luo Yuqing was usually very good to him. She was indeed a very good mother, and he naturally got used to it over time. However, he had probably met the man in front of him more than ten times in the past eight years, so naturally he felt a little unfamiliar.

When Ming Guangjun saw Ming Huaishang's action, he was also stunned, but then he adjusted himself. He slowly walked towards Ming Huaishang and just touched his head. He thought that he hadn't seen his son for many years, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little unfamiliar. His current behavior seemed normal to him. If his own father did this, he would probably do the same.

Then Mingguang Jun said something that made Ming Huaishang speechless.

"How old is Ming'er this year?"

Looking at the subtle atmosphere between the father and son, Luo Yuqing knew that although the little guy in front of him was very naughty, he was very smart, so he hurried out to smooth things over.

"Ming'er is nine years old this year, and in two days it will be Ming'er's tenth birthday. Husband, please prepare a good gift for Ming'er by then."

After listening to Luo Yuqing's words, Mingguang Jun didn't expect that his son was almost ten years old, and he had not even met him more than ten times. It was a bit unreasonable, so he had to prepare his gift carefully this time.

The family should have been happy when they were together, but they seemed a little reserved. At this time, Ming Guangjun remembered something that Master Ming had told him. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and looked at it carefully.

When Luo Yuqing saw Mingguang-Jun staring at the contents on the paper seriously, he also came over curiously.

"My husband, what's the matter that makes you so nervous?" Luo Yuqing was also curious. Could it be that there was news about her father-in-law?

At this time, Ming Huaishang was sitting on a small stool beside him, eating some fruit in his hand, and he was not interested in what was going on between the two of them.

"Old Mansion", there were only four simple words written on the paper. Luo Yuqing looked at Mingguang Jun with a puzzled look on her face. Of course, she didn't know the reason for the matter, so she asked Mingguang Jun. Mingguang Jun roughly explained to Luo Yuqing

But now Grand Master Ming was missing. On the way to Jiayuan City, Mingguang Jun also saw a group of Da'an people who had fled. Of course, they were all homeless now. He found that some of them were soldiers under Grand Master Ming. He also asked them if they knew the whereabouts of Grand Master Ming.

But the answers of several people disappointed him. According to what several people said, at that time, the Western Yi troops besieged them from all sides, and their troops fought desperately to evacuate from Da'an City. They finally escaped, but the Western Yi people did not give up and chased them out, causing their originally cautious people to flee in all directions. At that time, Master Ming was also among them, but there was no news from Master Ming's troops later, and there was no news from the Western Yi either. They could only escape for themselves, and what happened afterwards was unknown.

As for why his father gave him such a page before leaving, and also gave him a special blessing, he was also confused, and Luo Yuqing beside him also didn't know why.

When Ming Huaishang heard that the two were talking about their own affairs, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"The old mansion. I heard from my mother that my father was originally born in Lianzhou, Northern Territory. That place is..." Before Mingguang Jun could finish his words

Luo Yuqing said, "Lianzhou, I remember it was a snowy city at the foot of Kunlun Snow Mountain. Because of the frequent snowstorms, the people who originally lived there have moved away, and now it is completely deserted." Luo Yuqing did not expect that her father-in-law was born in the Northern Territory.
