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

Seeing this, Ming Sheng tactfully rode his horse forward slowly a few steps, putting some distance between himself and Gu Qinghe.

She obviously didn't expect Shao Wei to catch up, and was a little surprised, "Have you finished your work in the military camp? Are Gao Cun and the others doing well?"

Shao Wei curled his lips, "It went very smoothly. Gao Cun and Deputy General Liu were both brought up by me. They never drag their feet in doing things. They not only burned Li Rang's grain warehouse, but also killed many Li Rang soldiers along the way. This time, no matter whether Li Rang is prepared or not, he has to fight this battle."

"This is a good thing," Gu Qinghe said in a gentle voice, "If my trip goes smoothly, then for the rest of the time, at least for the next ten years, the people of Chizhou will be safe and secure, and will no longer have to face the troubles of war."

Shao Wei had this idea a long time ago. When he defeated Li Rang before, he was determined to take Li Rang down in one fell swoop. The people of Li Rang are scheming and ambitious. Once they are given time to recuperate, they will surely make a comeback in the future.

Only by defeating them completely and making them unable to fight back can we put these thoughts to rest.

But the emperor's order was hard to disobey, and the superiors ordered the troops to withdraw in time. Even though Shao Wei was dissatisfied, he had to call off the troops and give up.

He knew that His Majesty was getting old, and naturally had more things to think about. In the remaining time of his life, he needed a dynasty that looked peaceful on the outside, no matter what it was like inside.

As for what will happen to the country after he abdicates, that will be the business of the next crown prince.

Perhaps it is more than that. After all, His Majesty values ​​the Fourth Prince and is reluctant to hand over such a mess to him.

If this is the case, then it means that Your Majesty is not confident enough. He was the one who planned General Huo's death, but in the end, it became a thorn in his side.

When General Huoqiu was still alive, let alone attacking Lirang, even if General Huoqiu said he wanted to attack Yun State, Your Majesty might have really considered the feasibility of this matter.

It seems that along with Huoqiu died, your Majesty's ambition and self-confidence also died.

I wonder if he ever regretted it when he woke up in the middle of the night.

The two looked at each other quietly, but Shao Wei seemed to be stuck in his throat. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I will resolve this war as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will accompany you wherever you go."

Gu Qinghe chuckled, thinking that she wasn't the clingy type, and that she had been used to being alone over the years, so she didn't feel lonely.

But since he said that, she naturally wouldn't refuse politely, she just nodded and said, "Okay."

There was no kissing, no hugging, Shao Wei didn't even let her get off the horse. He just grasped the corner of her clothes with his hands somewhat nostalgic, his eyes so affectionate that he wanted to rub her whole body into his bones and blood.

But in the end, he let go and said, "Don't be reckless. I'll wait for you in Chizhou."

Gu Qinghe's figure gradually walked away. Shao Wei stood there for a long time. Gao Cun stood beside him at some point and comforted him in a low voice, "The general has made sufficient preparations. Doctor Gu will be fine this time. Don't worry too much."

Shao Wei didn't answer. He turned around and looked at him, then suddenly asked, "Qing He once said that her parents had a very good relationship. After her father met Divine Doctor Lu, he followed him to travel around the mountains and rivers, treat illnesses and save lives. He followed him wherever he went. When she said these words, I could see the longing in her eyes."

"But during this period of time, she was troubled by many things. Whether she was being plotted against by Li Qiulian and her daughter in the capital, or was in court with Prime Minister Li, or even tried every means to find out the whereabouts of Chen Qingshan, I was not by her side. Now that she is going to Huxiang, I let her go alone."

The guilt almost overwhelmed him, and Shao Wei said in a hoarse voice: "She has never blamed me."

Gao Cun also sighed a little, but he had always admired Gu Qinghe, so he said sincerely: "Doctor Gu is different from ordinary women."

"What's the difference?" Shao Wei smiled bitterly, "Even if she has a strong character, it's not a reason for me not to be with her in everything."

"Perhaps the difference between Doctor Gu and her is that she does not need the general's protection all the time. She can protect herself and achieve her own goals. She will not resent the general for not being with her. She may feel a little regretful, but when I was with Doctor Gu before, she heard the children on the street talking about the general several times."

Most of the children in Chizhou admired Shao Wei very much. On weekdays, the children would play and compete with each other. The small wooden guns in their hands were mostly made to defend against Shao Wei.

Whenever he encountered such a scene, Dr. Gu would always stop for a moment and watch the children play.

Gao Cun said: "If you really give up the people of this city for Doctor Gu, I think Doctor Gu will never be happy."

More than being unhappy, she was afraid she would explode.

Shao Wei thought about the scene, felt embarrassed, shook his head and smiled.

……

Ever since he decided to go to Huxiang, Gu Qinghe has been practicing his horsemanship hard. Although he cannot compare with those who are experts in this field, he is definitely pretty good.

The two men traveled lightly and were not slow.

If they came across an inn on the road, they would stop to rest. She was not very nervous along the way, but Mingsheng was extremely nervous.

Especially when staying in a hotel, he refused to go back to his room to sleep and insisted on guarding outside Gu Qinghe's door.

Gu Qinghe had a headache, "How are we going to travel tomorrow if you continue like this? Besides, no one noticed the two of us. Now that you are here, others will probably think there is some treasure in this room, otherwise why would they let you protect me like this?"

"It's a treasure," Ming Sheng said righteously without blushing or panting, "I promised General Shao that I would protect you. If anything happens to you, not only will General Shao fail to deliver the mission, even my sister will probably skin me alive."

What's more, Gu Qinghe came here to study the antidote for the poisonous Huxiang insect. This is a matter of life and death for the soldiers and civilians of Rui Dynasty. Even if something happens to him, he must not let Sister Gu get into trouble.

After saying that, he pushed Gu Qinghe back to rest.

Gu Qinghe was helpless. "Since you are so worried, then come in. It is better to lie on the table than to stand outside the door all night."

"That won't do. Wouldn't that ruin Sister Gu's reputation?"

Gu Qinghe sighed, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and pulled Ming Sheng's sleeve into the room. "You also said that people who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Besides, who can recognize you and me in this outfit? You are Ming Xuan's brother, so you are also my brother. There are no rules."

Ming Sheng wanted to say something, but was choked back by Gu Qinghe's next words, "There will be many more times to stay at the hotel later. Do you have to wait outside the door? Then are you going to hurry up?"
