Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Shao Wei's eyes sparkled with a smile and he shook his head, "No."

After finishing his work, he went to Gu Qinghe's room. Although the person on the bed was breathing steadily, his disguise was not very good. It was obvious from his trembling eyelids that he was pretending to sleep.

Guessing that it was Qin Xiang's problem, Shao Wei knew that she wanted to handle it herself, so he let her go and only followed her after she left the house, waving away the secret guards.

He also heard what Qin Xiang said. He squeezed Gu Qinghe's palm and asked softly, "If that Hu Xiang Military Advisor is really your brother, don't you want to bring him back as soon as possible?"

Pausing for a moment, Gu Qinghe looked at him, "Even if I want to bring him back as soon as possible, he may not be willing. Moreover, it is still unknown whether what Qin Xiang said is true or not. If you want to confirm his identity, no one can be more appropriate than me going there in person."

She stared at Shao Wei seriously, "Let me ask you, if she swore to you that Hu Xiang, the military advisor, was my brother, and that she had something that could easily make Li Rang withdraw its troops, what would you do? Would you really go to Li Rang to bring her brother to Rui Chao on her behalf?"

"If she really has the ability to make Li Rang withdraw without sacrificing a single soldier, Li Rang would never dare to mistreat her brother. Even if she doesn't sacrifice him, she will find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible." Shao Wei smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid."

When she first used military strategist Hu Xiang as a condition, Shao Wei had already made arrangements.

Judging from the time, the people he sent to gather information should be back in the next two days.

After saying what needed to be said, Shao Wei felt that he still needed to say a few words to Gu Qinghe. This person really cared about the safety of others, but why did he always act rashly when it came to himself?

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, Shao Wei didn't say much because it was already late. He just asked her, "You sneaked out by yourself today. If Qin Xiang has other intentions, do you think you can escape?"

It’s hard to say about other things, but when it comes to admitting his mistakes, Gu Qinghe is very quick.

He nodded, feeling guilty, and admitted his mistake in one go, "I will never do it again next time."

Shao Wei had no way to deal with her, so his pretense of seriousness could not last long, and he was left helpless, "I know you are worried that I will be caught by someone because of this matter and be criticized, but you have to know that to me, your safety is much more important than being caught by someone."

"So, next time, no matter what happens, I hope you will come to me first to discuss it. Let's work together to come up with the most appropriate solution for both of us, okay?"

Gu Qinghe hung her head, her mind was filled with the news of Shao Wei's death in her previous life. She just wanted to avoid implicating him and didn't think about anything else at all.

After hearing what he said, he realized his recklessness, but in fact, even if the two of them had discussed it, Gu Qinghe would not let him go to see Qin Xiang.

Everyone has selfish desires. Just as Qin Xiang protects the Crown Prince and doesn't want to implicate him in these matters, it is also normal for Gu Qinghe to want to protect Shao Wei.

After all, the Chen family’s affairs had nothing to do with him.

The next morning, Gu Qinghe was called up.

When she went to bed last night, it was already light outside. Not long after she fell asleep, Luo Feng came over and woke her up.

"Sister Gu, Sister Gu."

Gu Qinghe tried hard to open his eyes, and suddenly remembered that Mingxuan was going back to Beijing today. He sat up quickly, a little anxious, "What time is it? Has your sister Ming left?"

"Not yet?" Luo Feng blinked his big eyes and looked at her with a smile, "She is talking to Daddy in the front hall, and there is another man."

Another man?

It should be MSCI.

Gu Qinghe hurriedly washed up and rushed to the front hall, just in time to hear Shao Wei and Ming Xuan talking, "It's freezing cold, but with the supplies and cotton clothes sent by the Ming Mansion, the soldiers are full of ambition. It's only a matter of time before we defeat Li Rang."

Ming Xuan shook her head. "The soldiers defended their country with their flesh and blood and their lives. What our Ming family gave us are just some material possessions. They are nothing."

"No," Shao Wei shook his head. "For soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield, these personal belongings can prove that their superiors value them, allowing them to embark on the journey without complaint or fear."

The imperial court's treasury is now empty, and it relies entirely on the gold, silver and treasures donated from time to time by a few wealthy families to fill it.

The supplies sent to the military camps have been getting less and less each time. Last year, it was particularly excessive. The already pitiful supplies were deducted at various checkpoints along the way, and when they arrived at the military camps, they were not even enough to pay the pensions to the widows of the fallen soldiers.

Shao Wei was furious and went all the way from Chizhou to the capital. On the way, he arrested anyone he found who had withheld military supplies and brought them all the way to the capital in a grand procession.

It was also after this incident that the imperial court no longer turned a blind eye to such matters and began to conduct strict investigations. As long as something was sent to military camps in various places, the imperial court would assign special personnel to escort it to prevent it from being embezzled by those parasites on the road.

Mingxuan smiled and looked at Mingsheng who was hanging his head. Her smile faded and became complicated. After a long while, she sighed softly, as if she had finally convinced herself. She walked over and touched Mingsheng's head. She was a little dazed for a moment, "You've grown up."

These three words contain endless sighs.

In the end, he just patted Mingsheng on the shoulder and said, "What I said that day was actually meant to scare you. Don't take it to heart. Your parents are worried about you. I said that just to get you to come back with me. But seeing how determined you are, I believe you must have thought deeply about the path you want to take next. In that case, I have nothing more to say."

"Just one sentence, my parents and I are waiting for you at home, you must come back safely."

Ming Sheng opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't make any sound. In the end, he just hugged Ming Xuan into his arms and held her tightly. After a long time, he uttered three words with a sob, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about," Mingxuan stepped out of his arms, with only tenderness in her eyes. "I think you're amazing. You have such a firm goal. Unlike me, I always give up halfway. I'm proud to have such a brave brother."

Mingsheng also laughed. He had not slept the whole night before and had thought for a long time. He had already decided to go back with Mingxuan.

When I first heard this, I didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

He was naturally very happy because he was finally supported by his family for what he had been persisting in for so long. However, he was sad because as a man, he let his sister take on the responsibility of taking care of his parents for him.

Mingxuan's eyes were gentle, and they made him feel ashamed and speechless.
