In the dead of night, Chen Xiaobei took Cui Hongyu into his arms, and the two of them lay quietly.
"Brother Xiaobei, how long do you have to stay this time?"
Chen Xiaobei obviously couldn't give an answer to this question.
"I don't know how long we have to stay, but I think it won't last long. The two sides are at war, and 50,000 people will not last long in their territory."
"By the way, after I leave, the family affairs will depend on you. If there is any difficulty, let Dayong and Dachun go."
Cui Hongyu nodded and lay in Chen Xiaobei's arms. After a long time, she said leisurely, "Let's sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
After hearing Cui Hongyu's words, Chen Xiaobei knew that there was no program and no plans for tonight. Perhaps Cui Hongyu's only wish at this time was that he could sleep peacefully.
The next day, when the sky was dim and bright, Chen Xiaobei was in a daze when he heard Cui Hongyu getting up. It was obvious that Cui Hongyu was tiptoeing and didn't intend to alarm him, so he couldn't brush off her kindness.
Chen Xiaobei was lying on the bed when he heard Cui Hongyu entering the kitchen and starting to work.
After a short while, the smell of cooking smoke wafted in, and Cui Hongyu started to make breakfast.
After lying down for a while, Chen Xiaobei lost his temper and got up to get dressed.
When he came to the kitchen, he saw that Cui Hongyu was very busy and his face was red. When he saw Chen Xiaobei coming, Cui Hongyu said with some apology, "Look, I woke you up again."
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, stepped forward and hugged Cui Hongyu gently, "I'm fine, it's time to get up at this point."
"By the way, what else do you want to do? I'll help you."
Cui Hongyu smiled and shook his head, "No need to help me. Go and call Lu Rumei over and let's have breakfast together."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, turned into the back room, hid three sticks of incense in his sleeves, then turned around and walked out.
Although the snow on the road has melted away, the snow water is still there. The temperature was low in the morning and it was all covered with ice. At first glance, it was bright and clear. People still have to be careful when walking on it, otherwise it is easy to slip. .
Chen Xiaobei actually had selfish motives. Before going to the Great Earth Kingdom, he still wanted to go to a place. Of course, he neither wanted Cui Hongyu nor Liu Rumei to know about this place, so he took advantage of the gap that came out in the morning. , Chen Xiaobei hurried to the cemetery outside the village.
Chen Xiaobei came to Huang Ying's tomb.
He carefully took out three sticks of incense from his sleeves and lit them in front of the tomb. He bowed three times and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the tombstone. Then he went up to clean up the remaining snow on the tomb and said nonchalantly as he worked, "Huang Ying, let me tell you that Liu Rumei and I will go to the border soon. Your spirit in heaven will protect us."
"I'm going this time. I estimate it will take a month no matter what. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
After saying this, Chen Xiaobei bowed three times to Huang Ying's grave.
"Don't worry, I will come back to accompany you as soon as the fighting over there stops."
After leaving the cemetery, Chen Xiaobei cautiously arrived at the door of Liu Rumei's house as if skating.
I saw that Liu Rumei's house had been very busy with people coming and going. Liu Ziming and others were packing their bags and kept coming and going.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, everyone greeted him with a smile, and some even joked with him.
Chen Xiaobei responded to these one by one. After responding, Xiaoqing came out quickly and bowed to him, "My uncle is here. Miss, please come in."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and quickly walked into the back room, where he saw Liu Rumei writing something with a pen. When he saw Chen Xiaobei coming, he just said hello, "Brother Xiaobei, please sit down first." Yes, wait until I finish writing these letters."
Chen Xiaobei agreed and sat next to her. He waited until Liu Rumei finished her work and then asked with a smile, "It's almost time to leave. You have to write a letter again."
Liu Rumei smiled slightly and took out the first letter, "This is for the princess. Tell her that we have sent troops as scheduled."
"This is written to my father. I hope that my father can put the overall situation first and come forward to command the battle. After all, if he comes forward, the morale of the soldiers will be even higher."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei wanted to give some more advice, but he held back. After all, Liu Rumei had her own plans.
She has already said what she should say. If Liu Rumei doesn't listen to her, she can't force her to do it, otherwise it won't appear too selfish.
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to change the subject and said, "Rumei, I'll have breakfast over there in a minute. Hong Yu will prepare it soon."
Liu Rumei agreed, finished writing the last letter, gave Xiaoqing some instructions, and followed Chen Xiaobei out.
When Chen Xiaobei came back with Liu Rumei, Chen Qiaoer had already gotten up and was helping Cui Hongyu with the rice. When he saw them coming back, he stepped forward and took Liu Rumei's hand.
"Sister, sister, are you going on a long trip today?"
Liu Rumei nodded slightly, "Yes, I have to go away. You must listen to your sister-in-law at home from now on."
Chen Qiaoer nodded solemnly and agreed, "Sister, don't worry, I will be obedient."
Looking at Chen Qiaoer's appearance, Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Not to mention, sometimes this Chen Qiao'er has really high emotional intelligence and doesn't look like a child of several years old.
Several people ate this breakfast with mixed feelings. Cui Hongyu's eyes were full of reluctance. He looked at Chen Xiaobei for a while and Liu Rumei for a while.
Chen Xiaobei's mood is even more complicated. As the saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. One is his first wife, whom he married when he was in trouble. Although the purpose of marrying him was a bit complicated, she is still his wife after all.
He couldn't bear to expose his wife and accompany Liu Rumei to the border, but he had no choice. After all, Liu Rumei was also his wife.
Liu Rumei felt a little uneasy. Her biggest worry was that she didn't know what would happen to her trip to the border this time. She was used to following Liu Xiangnan all over the country, and she was afraid that Chen Xiaobei would have some shortcomings that she wouldn't be able to explain to Cui Hongyu.
Breakfast ended quickly. After a brief rest, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei set off.
There are still more than 20 people in the Liu family in Hetou Village. Not only did they all come out this time, but he will also take away some of the people left by Guo Chuan on Centipede Ridge. As for those responsible for contacting the princess, he will also take away some of them. Follow there.
Cui Hongyu, Chen Dayong, Chen Dachun, ancestors and other people from the village, old and young, all came and crowded at the entrance of the village to see them off. The ancestor took Chen Xiaobei's hand and asked again, "Xiaobei, you really don't plan to take two more people with you." Personally?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "Ancestor, I won't take you with you."
