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

"I didn't agree with her returning to Ruichao back then."

In her opinion, Lu Zhiyao's medical skills and kindness can only be fully utilized in Huxiang. If she returns to Ruichao, no matter how great her skills are or how well she does, she will only be a chess piece that can be used anytime and anywhere in the eyes of those in power.

Pick it up when you need it, throw it away when you don't.

Just like what she is experiencing now.

Because of Lu Zhiyao, the King of Huxiang looked at Gu Qinghe with a soft look in his eyes. "What does your mother think now? Is she willing to come to Huxiang?"

Seeing Yan Rou's agitated expression, Lord Huxiang continued, "If she is willing to come to Huxiang, I will send someone to pick her up. I will never let her suffer any injustice in Huxiang."

She even thought about cooperating with Li Rang. Previously, those rebels led by Zhao Yong wanted to cooperate with Li Rang, and then pull her down after defeating Rui Chao, but she overturned this plan.

Now Lirang is unable to take care of herself and must hate Zhao Yong.

But after hearing about Lu Zhiyao's experience in Ruichao, Lord Huxiang couldn't help but think about it.

If Lu Zhiyao agrees, then it's not impossible for her to help Lirang and cause some unhappiness for Ruichao.

Before he could finish his thoughts, Yan Rou interrupted him, "Sister?"

She came back to her senses and looked up.

Yan Rou pointed at Gu Qinghe and said, "Let someone call the military advisor. She came here just for the military advisor."

"military adviser?"

Yan Rou nodded and explained, "Sister Lu should know about General Huoqiu of Rui Dynasty. Sister Lu's son was a soldier under General Huoqiu. He was also in the battle where General Huoqiu died, but his body was not found after the battle. This is one of the reasons why Sister Lu's family was wrongly accused of treason."

To be able to sit in this position, Lord Huxiang was undoubtedly very smart.

He took a breath, tapped the handle of the chair twice with his fingertips, and thought for a moment, "I didn't see the body, so you think he is not dead? Instead, he came to my Huxiang and became Huxiang's military advisor, right?"

"Not only that." Gu Qinghe said softly, "I have heard that my brother might still be alive. The time when Hu Xiang, the military advisor, appeared was not much different from the time when my brother disappeared. In addition, the princess of Lirang said that Hu Xiang's accent was from our Rui Dynasty. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I have to come and take a look to feel at ease."

If not, she would not give up but continue searching.

The world is so big, it is not easy to find someone, and the time is long. She has plenty of patience.

King Huxiang was not a man who would waste time. After listening to her, he immediately sent someone to invite the military advisor over.

After giving the order, she silently looked at Gu Qinghe's appearance for a long while, then spoke quietly, "Do the children born to you and your brother look more like your father? Why do they look nothing like Sister Gu?"

Gu Qinghe smiled, "To be honest, I was not born by my mother, but was picked up by her from the wilderness. My brother is my parents' biological child. Although he looks more like my father, his eyes are very similar to my mother's."

The king understood, "This is more like what your mother would do. She loves picking up people everywhere."

But she still warned him, "You'd better not hold your hopes too high. Your brother's eyes are very similar to Sister Lu's, but my military advisor doesn't look like your mother at all."

If there were any similarities, she would definitely be able to see it.

The military advisor came quickly, but as soon as he came in, Gu Qinghe's expectant gaze was immediately dashed.

Without even taking off his mask, she could conclude that this person was indeed not Chen Qingshan.

This military advisor was indeed a young man. Perhaps his previous injury had not yet fully healed, one of his legs was a little lopsided, and he walked very slowly.

After entering the room, his gaze lingered on Gu Qinghe's face for a moment before he looked at the king, "Your Majesty, is there something you want to ask me?"

The king cleared his throat and raised his chin slightly in the direction of Gu Qinghe. "It's nothing important. I just heard you say before that you were from Rui Dynasty. This girl also came from Rui Dynasty and happened to be here looking for someone. I was thinking whether you were the person the girl was looking for, so I called you over to identify her."

The military advisor chuckled, and it was hard to tell whether the tone was self-deprecating or cold, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am a lonely man, without any family, and no one will come to look for me."

Gu Qinghe's gaze fell on his broken fingers, and his thoughts flew away.

Before the military advisor was about to leave, he hurriedly called out to him, "Sir, you came from Rui Dynasty, and the person I'm looking for is also from Rui Dynasty. Why don't you let me know who I'm looking for? Maybe you've met him along the way."

The military advisor's eyebrows showed a hint of impatience, but due to the king's favor, he nodded and said, "You say."

He had been running for his life, and was so confused that he didn't even know how he ended up in the poisonous forest of Huxiang, let alone how he could have met the person she was looking for.

"In the war between Ruichao and Lirang, more than a year ago, my brother disappeared in the battle of Bazipo."

The military advisor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qinghe quietly for a while, "What's your brother's name?"

"Chen Qingshan."

After a deathly silence, the military advisor suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Qinghe's shoulders. His hands were so strong that Gu Qinghe's shoulders felt like they were clamped by a pair of iron pliers, but she did not cry out in pain.

Before the king could speak, the military advisor had already reacted, hastily pushed him away, and apologized in a panic, "Sorry, I was a little rude."

Gu Qinghe said: "It's okay, maybe you have met my brother?"

The military advisor shook his head slightly and removed the mask covering his face, revealing a pale face.

Half face of a Bodhisattva, half face of an evil ghost.

He should have been a handsome young man, but the other half of his face was covered with scars from burns, looking twisted and hideous.

"I'm Lu Zhao. Has Commander Chen told you about me?"

"Yes, my brother said that a good brother in the camp helped him block a knife, and his finger was cut off by the sharp blade. He wrote back to ask mother if there was any way to reattach the severed finger, which he had kept."

Gu Qinghe's throat was slightly dry. "But the severed finger has been away from the human body for too long. How can it be reattached?"

Lu Zhao laughed, and the gloom in his eyes gradually dissipated. The indifference just now completely disappeared. He looked at Gu Qinghe with a hint of excitement, "Compared to what Commander Chen did to help me, a few fingers are nothing."

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes, "Actually, I'm also looking for Commander Chen."

Yan Rou and Lord Hu Xiang had left at some point, leaving only Lu Zhao, Gu Qinghe, and Ming Sheng standing not far away like a pillar in the hall.
