Lao Zhu suddenly had a look of fury on his face, and he suddenly waved his hand and smashed the jade pendant to pieces in front of Han Du. He asked sternly: "Han Du, can you avenge Bao'er and express such evil for me?"
Han Du immediately said seriously: "I will not disgrace my orders, and I will not disgrace my orders!"
Lao Zhu gasped, pointed at Han Du and asked, "How can you not disgrace your orders?"
Han Du raised his head and said: "The last time these people escaped from me, there were only two sea routes to choose from. Since I didn't catch them, they must have taken another sea route. As long as I pursue them in this direction, , we will definitely be able to find them.”
"good!"
The emperor was so angry that he was bleeding and floating in the oars.
Lao Zhu was so angry that he pointed at Han Du and said, "I will teach you all the latest thirty warships and the previous three. Han Du! You know what to do, right?"
"My lord, I know!" Han Du's red eyes revealed boundless murderous intent.
Li Wenzhong has always been kind to Han Du, and even secretly helped Han Du many times. Although Han Du didn't know it, Han Du could feel Li Wenzhong's kindness towards him. Thinking that he was poisoned like this, Han Du's heart was filled with hatred.
"Go!"
Lao Zhu waved his sleeves and turned his back, never saying a word again.
The army's expedition was not something that could be accomplished instantly. Even if Lao Zhu had prepared one day in advance, it would still be far behind. Lao Zhu planned to leave in five days.
But in this way, Han Du would not be able to wait until Li Wenzhong's funeral.
When Han Du returned to the house, Princess Anqing came to greet her immediately. She looked at Han Du worriedly and called softly: "Husband~"
Han Du backed away and said: "The emperor asked me to go to Nanyang, and I will swear to fight in five days."
"Do you have to go, husband?" Princess Anqing hesitated to speak. After all, Yan'er had been married for less than a year, so she naturally didn't want Han Du to leave.
Han Du nodded and said: "I have a reason to go. Firstly, I have to avenge old and new grudges. Secondly, if these people are not completely wiped out, I will not be able to sleep peacefully."
Although these people were driven out of their nest by him last time, his roots were not harmed. Moreover, their methods are secretive, and they have laid countless hidden stakes in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe the servant in their house is one of theirs. After all, they can even bury the secrets of the East Palace and Duke Cao, so it is not difficult to do anything in their own house.
The only thing that made Han Du happy after all was that maybe he and An Qing had not received much attention from these people in the past, or maybe they wanted to show their strength to the Ming Dynasty, so they singled out Donggong and Cao Guogong's Mansion. Didn't do anything to myself.
However, Han Du was unwilling to put his life in the hands of others, hoping that others would never do anything to him. And Han Du also knew in his heart that this was impossible.
They are so close to each other that they will collide one day. Since it was inevitable, Han Du naturally wanted to strike first.
What's the best way to solve the problem? That is to eliminate those who cause trouble.
At night, Han Du lay next to An Qing across the quilt as usual.
Just when Han Du was about to fall asleep, An Qing suddenly pulled away the quilt and hugged Han Du fiercely, making Han Du stunned. "Husband, do you dislike me?"
Han Du came back to his senses after a while and explained: "How is it possible? It's too late for me to feel sorry for you. How can I not like you?"
"But, when I left the palace, my mother-in-law taught me what to do between husband and wife. Why have you been unwilling to touch me for so long, even though you sleep with me?" An Qing's face turned red with embarrassment. A bit shy, but also a bit disappointed and hateful.
"So you want to ask this?" Han Du immediately understood what An Qing meant and said quickly: "I blame me for forgetting to explain to you. I really feel sorry for you. You have to believe this. As for the reason why I don't touch you , that’s for your own good.”
"Why?" An Qing was confused.
Han Du continued: "Because you are too young, it is best for a woman to have children after the age of twenty. Women at this time have fully grown. If you want a child at your age, because they have not yet fully grown. Because of that, it is very dangerous to have a child. Let’s put it this way, if you have a child after you are twenty years old, it will be at least ten times safer than what you are now.”
"Is your husband telling the truth?" An Qing heard the explanation. Regardless of whether what Han Du said was true or false, at least she could feel a strong sense of concern for her from Han Du's words. The slightest resentment toward Han Du in his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Of course it's the truth." Han Du said without hesitation, "If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to go to the counties of Yingtian Prefecture to check the ages of local pregnant women giving birth. You can see if the younger women are. , the more likely it is that a child will die in infancy, and even if he is too young, there will be two deaths.”
"I believe it." An Qing hugged Han Du tightly without hesitation and said happily. As for sending someone to investigate, she didn't take it to heart at all. Anyway, she knew that Han Du had never told her lies.
After a while, An Qing said coyly, "But, husband~".
Han Du hummed and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong?"
"My husband is about to go on an expedition. I would like to ask him to leave a seed, just in case." An Qing blushed and murmured in a low voice. But the tone in her words was very firm.
Han Du chuckled, scratched his nose with his finger, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
After hearing this, An Qing said unconvinced: "I'm not just imagining it. I really have no eyesight in the battlefield. If there is any eventuality, I would like to keep it in mind."
Han Du said with a smile: "Don't think so wildly. I have never been afraid of your husband in a sea battle. Besides, do you know there is such a rule?"
"What's the pattern?" An Qing didn't understand what Han Du was talking about.
Han Du said: "The more you separate life and death before going to the battlefield, the more likely you are to die on the battlefield."
"Ah? Really?" An Qing was almost frightened to tears by Han Du. He quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it."
Han Du stretched out his hand to comfort her a few times and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm just telling you a joke. Do you still take it seriously?"
An Qing's mood slowly calmed down and she no longer dared to say anything to ask Han Du to save the seed. She could see that when Han Du said that just now, he didn't look like he was joking at all.
Han Du let An Qing rest on his arm, raised his head and stared at the void above without speaking. It was a rare moment for the two of them to enjoy this quiet moment.
