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

After walking in the dark passage for an unknown amount of time, Gu Qinghe quietly let go of his hand when he saw a faint light.

Huo Shibei behind them was completely unaware of the little action between the two and was still reminding Gu Qinghe, "When you meet Niu Jun later, you must first find a way to prove that you are a member of the Chen family. This is a stubborn person. If you don't let him know your identity, I'm afraid he will never speak even if he dies."

Huo Shibei was a little disappointed when he said this. "But I don't look like my father's son? I have explained it so many times, but this kid just doesn't believe that I am Huo Shibei."

Gu Qinghe licked his dry lips and whispered, "Maybe it's not that he doesn't believe it, but he feels that it's meaningless to tell you all this."

During the time he was alive, he might have inquired about the affairs of the Chen family and the Huo family. How could he not know the reputation of Huo Shibei, the only son left by General Huo.

But precisely because I know this, I have to hold on tightly and not let go.

General Huo was dead, and the entire Chen family had been executed. So what would it matter even if he told Huo Shibei everything he knew?

It would be better to let him know nothing and live an easier life.

Huo Shibei fell silent. Perhaps he didn't know how to make his life easier.

When the three men arrived, Niu Jun had already woken up and was making a fuss with the servants who were guarding him, wanting to leave.

He lowered his loud voice when he saw the three people, snorted coldly, walked to the bed, lay down, and covered his head with the quilt.

Huo Shibei sighed, stepped forward and pulled his quilt away, "Okay, don't you want to see the Chen family? I'll bring them here for you."

Niu Jun didn't move, closed his eyes and said nothing, obviously not taking Huo Shibei's words seriously.

He was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. You could kill him or chop him up as you pleased.

"I am Chen Qingshan's sister," Gu Qinghe said, "I don't know if my brother ever mentioned me in the military camp, but he mentioned Brother Niu in the letters he wrote home."

Niu Jun opened his eyes and stopped his gaze on Gu Qinghe's face. He immediately became irritated and shouted, "Commander Chen's sister is as beautiful as a fairy, who the hell are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if he was being stared at by some ferocious animal. He looked to the side and saw the young man in black who was standing next to him and had never spoken was staring at him.

Niu Jun raised his hand and rubbed his arm. "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not lying. Commander Chen praises his sister every other day. Almost all the brothers in the army know her. Her sister is pretty, knows medicine, can sew clothes, and the knee pads she sends to me are always the thickest."

Gu Qinghe had no doubt about this. Chen Qingshan was an absolute fanatic who loved to show off his sisters.

It was just that it had been such a long time since she last heard others talking about Chen Qingshan, and it seemed as if there was a mountain or an ocean between them and her.

The mountains and sea squeezed her madly, making her chest stuffy, her nose sore, and her eyes hot.

Chen Qingshan was a low-key person, but he had been very protective and proud of her since they were young. If anyone said anything bad about her, he would immediately swing his fist to pick that person out and beat him up. He would not stop until that person praised Gu Qinghe to the skies and used all the best words in the world to describe her.

I guess he didn't get rid of this habit in the military camp, but I don't know how much he has praised himself.

She raised her hand and touched the red spots on her face, and said softly, "My brother said that you and Brother Liang You have known each other since you joined the army. You have fought together for so many years and have become brothers who have shared life and death together. I believe in my brother's judgment of people."

The suspicion in Niu Jun's eyes had turned into shock at some point. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't utter it for a while.

Gu Qinghe continued, "When will my brother's crimes be cleared? When will I be able to show my face to others in its original appearance?"

"You said Commander Chen wrote a letter home. How did he address me and Brother Liang You in his letter?"

"Brother always addresses Brother Liang You by his first name. As for the other two brothers mentioned in the letter, I did not think of you at first. He often referred to them as the second and third brothers. But that day I heard that you had a brother in the army, so I was sure that the second and third brothers mentioned in the letter were you two brothers."

At first, Chen Qingshan only mentioned the second son in the letter, but later he mentioned that the second son's younger brother also joined the army, and that's how the third son was born.

When Gu Qinghe heard about Niu Zhuang from Li Kuo that day, and learned that Niu Zhuang and Niu Jun were brothers, he thought that these two people must be the ones his brother often mentioned in his letters.

Niu Jun's eyes were red and the flesh on his cheeks began to tremble. "I asked around and they all said you were burned to death."

He had been recuperating from his injuries when he first survived. His injuries were so severe that he was in a coma for quite some time. After he woke up, he asked around, only to learn that the Chen family had been beheaded.

However, after his grief and anger, he learned that Chen Qingshan's sister was still alive, so he dragged his still-weakened body and hid to Liangtuo, intending to take Chen Qingshan's sister away, but he learned that she had died in the fire.

Now that he suddenly knew she was still alive, Niu Jun was somewhat at a loss, "Where are you living now? Are you safe? Who are these two people?"

Gu Qinghe answered his questions one by one. After she finished talking about Huo Shibei's identity, she stopped and hesitated when she came to Shao Wei.

"Shao Wei."

A cold voice answered the name she hadn't said. Gu Qinghe turned her head and saw Shao Wei with a calm expression.

He understood her concerns, so he personally dispelled them and dragged himself into a situation that he should not have been involved in.

"Shao... Wei?" Niu Jun's eyes widened. "Are you General Shao?"

Everyone in the military camp knew the name of General Shao. He and General Huo guarded the south and the north respectively, protecting the territory of Rui Dynasty from being coveted by other countries.

General Huo was full of praise for Shao Wei.

Niu Jun's worries were completely dispelled.

He didn't trust Huo Shibei before, thinking that with his ability he would not be able to overturn the case and might even lose his life.

After knowing that Gu Qinghe was still alive, he became even more worried. Compared to overturning a case for a dead person, which was a very difficult case, he would rather protect Commander Chen's sister.

Let her not get involved.

However, after learning Shao Wei's identity, Niu Jun immediately dispelled all his previous concerns.

"It's General Shao. Great. Since it's General Shao, then I have nothing to worry about."

"No," Huo Shibei raised his finger and pointed at his nose, "So your previous concerns were all about me, right?"

Niu Jun admitted frankly, "Naturally."

Huo Shibei: "..."

Well, he shut up to avoid humiliating himself.

As she got closer to the truth, Gu Qinghe actually became a little nervous. Her throat choked slightly, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened in front of Bazi Slope that day?"
