It was as if everything in the world suddenly disappeared before his eyes. The only thing Lu Qingshan could see was the little kite leaning against Cui Yuanqing. Through this child, Lu Qingshan suddenly understood that no matter what, Cheng Songan had Cui Yuanqing in his heart from beginning to end.

He was a little absent-minded, and after a long while he asked, "Where is your mother?"

Xiao Feng Zheng thought for a moment, then pointed at Ming Zhan and said, "Uncle Ming said she and Daddy have something to do, so she will be back later."

"Daddy?" Lu Qingshan frowned, a little puzzled. Isn't Cui Yuanqing sitting here?

He couldn't help but look at Cui Yuanqing's expression. The latter had a gloomy face, but he was still patient and gentle to Xiao Fengzheng: "We agreed that I will be your father from now on."

Lu Qingshan suddenly laughed heartily. Cui Yuanqing had changed so much from when he was a child that he himself could not remember what he looked like before. Even when his own daughter appeared before him, he could not recognize her.

Wang Lujun said coldly: "What are you laughing at? You have been married for five years and you don't even have a child. Are you so proud?"

Lu Qingshan's smile froze on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Wang Lujun. He seemed to have some impression of her, but he didn't know who she was.

As soon as Wang Lujun saw his expression, she guessed that he didn't even recognize her, and she was so angry that her face turned blue.

Ming Zhan hurriedly asked Qin Gang to entertain Wang Shumian on his behalf, and said to Lu Qingshan: "General Lu, we should discuss our private matters in the tent, and don't disturb the welcoming banquet of Wang Shaobao."

Lu Qingshan didn't want to talk about family matters in detail here. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed to go to the big tent with him.

Ming Zhan made a gesture of invitation, then nodded and smiled at Wang Lujun, indicating her not to bother with Lu Qingshan.

The two entered Ming Zhan's tent. Lu Qingshan was not polite and found a seat to sit down. He pushed the fruit on the table aside irritably and asked, "What is Duan Zhuyu doing here?"

Ming Zhan stood in front of the desk with his arms folded, listening to his questioning, but he was not angry. When Cheng Songan gave him advice, he didn't believe it, but he didn't expect it to be true as she said.

It's not that far from Yansui Town to Gansu Town, but Lu Qingshan came so quickly. He has Yu'er in his heart, but he doesn't know it.

Ming Zhan walked around the tent with great interest, and Lu Qingshan became increasingly impatient. He asked, "Ming Xiurong, send Duan Zhuyu back as soon as possible. This is not the place for her to stay."

He stopped and asked, "How did you know Yu'er was here? Why are you so sure that she came to me?"

Lu Qingshan choked and asked, "She's not here? Then..."

After he married Duan Zhuyu, they had their own house. Based on his understanding of Duan Zhuyu, he knew that if the marriage was not going well, she would run away from home at any time and get into trouble sooner or later. Therefore, he left a confidant at home who would immediately send him a letter if there was any situation.

When she came to the Northwest, where else could she go except to find her uncle?

Ming Zhan met his eyes: "Yu'er didn't come to see me."

Lu Qingshan tightened the sword in his hand, feeling a little irritated: "There are spies from Rongdi and Rouran everywhere here. If you are caught by them, you know what the consequences will be."

"We Ming family members will not be coerced," Ming Zhan said decisively, "Yu'er is my eldest sister's child. Although she is reckless, she knows that if she is captured, she should end her life herself to avoid embarrassing the Ming family army."

"Besides, General Lu knows the difficulties I'm in. How can I let my family affairs implicate the soldiers?"

Lu Qingshan's hand on the sword trembled slightly. What Ming Zhan said made sense. If his brothers got into trouble and asked him to take his soldiers and risk their lives to save them, he would give up without hesitation. On the battlefield, every brother was like a close relative.

But Duan Zhuyu can't let her get lost.

He himself did not understand why this happened. At first, he just wanted to go against her. Who asked her to fight for Cheng Song'an with him on behalf of her uncle? But later, he began to sympathize with her. Who made them both like someone who never looked at themselves? Later, whenever she had something to do, he began to follow her involuntarily. In the five years of marriage, every time she ran away from home, it was his confidants who found her and led the Princess of Xiang to go there.

He was used to looking for her.

If he gave up this time, he would be free and would not have to look for her again. He should be happy. But Lu Qingshan suddenly sighed: Duan Zhuyu had never been here before, she would be scared.

The big tent was suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind brought two people out. Lu Qingshan suddenly raised his head and murmured, "Cheng Songan, you finally showed up."

Cheng Songan's face turned pale, and he said to him and Ming Zhan apologetically, "Miss Yu is in trouble."

Ming Zhan saw that she looked strange, and hurriedly looked at Xuanwu, who nodded silently: "We had already received Miss Yu, but somehow she managed to get rid of our people and fell into the hands of the Rouran people."

Their plan was to create the illusion that Duan Zhuyu was missing, forcing Lu Qingshan to recognize his true feelings, and then set up a trap for Duan Zhuyu. However, they did not expect that Duan Zhuyu would willingly go with the Rouran people.

The Rouran people were few in number and their military force was not strong, so they were not to be feared. However, they had long been allies with several small tribes in the surrounding areas and intermarried with each other. The interests made their relationship unbreakable. The second prince of Rongdi saw this and kept showing goodwill to the Rouran in an attempt to win them over.

If we attack the Rouran at this time, not only is it a bad opportunity, but it will also be tantamount to giving the Rongdi an opportunity to form an alliance. They will definitely attack from the rear when the two sides go to war.

Ming Zhan was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Yu'er has caused quite a big disaster this time. I, I can only apologize to my elder sister."

Lu Qingshan looked at the ground in confusion, and suddenly remembered the secret letter from his confidant. When Duan Zhuyu came, she only brought a single layer of clothes. The north was dry and cold. Could she bear it? Would the Rouran people be kind enough to give her thick clothes?

After a moment of silence, he laughed at himself, pulled out a tiger talisman from his waist, and threw it on Ming Zhan's desk: "Ming Xiurong, I have been competing with you for so many years, and it turns out that I am the loser. I admit defeat. From now on, my soldiers and food will be at your disposal."

Ming Zhan seemed to have received a hot potato, frowned and asked: "What are you going to do?"

"I can't risk my brothers' lives, but I can risk my own life. Ming Xiurong, I'll go and rescue that trouble-making niece for you."

As he spoke, he met Cheng Songan's eyes and smiled happily. Lu Qingshan seemed to have never been so relaxed.

Cheng Songan seemed to see Lu Qingshan, who had imprisoned himself for more than ten years, suddenly walk out of the cage. She pulled his arm, took out a small cloud-piercing arrow from her sleeve and said, "Lu Xiaojiu, let me know when you find him."

Lu Qingshan didn't bother to be polite with her and took it and put it in his arms.

The wind started to blow outside the tent, and the soldiers put out the bonfire. Qin Gang came to ask Ming Zhan for instructions to send Wang Shumian back to the government office. Ming Zhan lifted the tent and came face to face with the tall and graceful person outside.

Cui Yuanqing held the sleeping little Feng Zheng in his arms, staring at Cheng Songan in the tent like a visitor from outer space. After five years, she was finally not that thin anymore, and her whole body exuded health and vitality.

The moment he heard her voice outside the tent, his eyes turned red, and he looked at the tent with questioning and unwillingness in his eyes, but as soon as she appeared, all the grievances disappeared. Her appearance was enough for him.

The two of them sat in silence. It was a meeting that was different from what they had imagined. Neither of them spoke a word. They just looked at each other quietly.

Lu Qingshan walked over and glanced at Xiao Fengzheng casually, then said leisurely, "It's true that a daughter takes after her father. Cheng Yundai, your daughter doesn't look like you. She looks more like her father."

Cheng Songan then woke up from his dream and secretly pushed Xuanwu.

Xuanwu rolled his eyes in his heart, and pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly: "No, no, only the nose is more like mine."
