"That's it, he joined the army. He trained every day and stood guard. Occasionally when he took a nap, he would go home and help Sister Mengqi work. Although his life was still poor, he was much better than before."
"He gave up his studies just to make Sister Mengqi's life easier."
"He said, I can't give you great wealth, but I will give you a stable life in the future."
"Sister Mengqi said that she doesn't want any great wealth, she just wants him not to sacrifice his life for the country like his biological father and adoptive father did."
At this time, Zhang Mengqi also nodded and said Qiqi,
"At that time, I only thought about it. I didn't ask him to make great achievements or become rich. I just wanted him to live in peace and stability. He was the only one in my world."
Qi Xiaoyu sighed, then said with a bit of anger,
"They are two childhood sweethearts who grew up together. They are the most important people to each other. They have made a private decision for life.
He said that when he was twenty years old and had saved enough money, he would marry Sister Mengqi.
When they were nineteen years old, a major event happened. Marshal Yue passed away. Marshal Nie Ze replaced Marshal Yue and became the commander-in-chief of the defense army.
When they were twenty years old, they finally reached the age to get married, but he was sent by Commander Nie to escort the envoys from the capital to various countries in the Western Regions. "
Speaking of this, Qi Xiaoyu glared at Nie Ze fiercely, making Nie Ze very embarrassed.
"After the death of Marshal Yue, the imperial court's policy toward the Western Regions changed. Toughness turned into softness and appeasement. When envoys were sent out, they would definitely send troops to protect them.
He was a squad leader at that time, in charge of a ten-man squad, and set off with the army.
He said that when he comes back, he won't wait any longer and will get married directly.
However, a few months later, the envoys came back, but he did not come back.
Sister Mengqi anxiously went to find the team under his command. Those people were originally unwilling to tell the truth, but they couldn't help but begged her sister and finally revealed the truth.
It turned out that the man was instigated by high-ranking officials of Loulan Kingdom with gold and silver, and almost killed the envoy team.
After that, he betrayed Dachuan and stayed in Loulan Kingdom.
Since then, Sister Mengqi has been crying every day.
Later, she stopped crying. When she was not working, she would run to the west gate and look at the west for a whole day without doing anything.
Whenever there was a caravan going to various countries in the Western Region to do business, she would beg them, give them money, and ask them to help find out about the man.
Most of those caravans took money and did nothing. The money that Sister Mengqi saved through hard work and frugality was wasted.
But not all caravans were idle. One caravan was moved by her sincerity, and they happened to be going to Loulan.
After they came back, they found out about the man.
It turned out that with his talent, he had become a high official there, married a wife and had children, and lived a life of a rich man.
He didn't even think about this bitch, where did his talent come from? Didn't it come from the hard work of Sister Mengqi to make money for him to study?
However, he abandoned his wife who was a loser, was dazzled by the glory and wealth, betrayed the country, betrayed the family, and became a lackey of the enemy country. .
This kind of person, I can't wait to cut him into pieces with my own hands, crushing his bones and scattering ashes. Death is not a pity! "
Qi Xiaoyu became angrier as he spoke, waving his fist fiercely.
Zhang Mengqi heard this and said quickly,
"No, no, he is not this kind of person. He will definitely come back."
Zhang Mengqi kept repeating this sentence.
"Oh, he won't come back. He has long been bewitched by the enemy country, dazzled by the colorful world, and is greedy for glory and wealth there..."
Before Qi Xiaoyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Yun's hand.
In Han Yun's view, this Zhang Mengqi was indeed an infatuated and pitiful woman. She had grown up with that man, working hard to provide for him with food, clothing, and education.
It can be said that this man is her whole world, her only one. Now that the man has gone to Loulan Kingdom and betrayed Dachuan, for Zhang Mengqi, the sky has simply fallen and all hope in the world has been lost.
Now she can only rely on constantly brainwashing herself and telling herself that he will come back, so as to give herself hope and give herself the motivation to live.
If even this thought disappears, Zhang Mengqi may not even have the desire to live.
Han Yun couldn't bear to break her hopes, so he smiled and said,
"Although there are moths in every country, I don't think your man is this kind of person.
You said that when he joined the army, the coach of Yumenguan was still Marshal Yue, then he was the Yue Family Army.
I don’t believe that a person whose biological father and adopted father died at the hands of enemy invaders, a person who has read many books about saints and sages, a soldier who is a member of the army of his in-laws, a person with blood and ambition, and a young man with childhood sweethearts in his hometown.
What reason would there be to betray the country and hometown?
There must be something fishy in this matter, and he may have reasons why he can't come back. "
Hearing this, Zhang Mengqi's eyes brightened and she said quickly,
"Master Marquis, do you also think he will definitely come back?"
Han Yun was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. How could he dare to guarantee this? He was a dignified Marquis of the North, and he would do what he said. How could he dare to make arbitrary promises to others.
At this time, Nie Ze who was behind him suddenly came over, looked at Zhang Mengqi and asked,
"Girl, is your husband named Zhang Xiaoyu?"
"Does Shuai Nie recognize him?"
Zhang Mengqi was a little surprised. She recognized Nie Ze, but she didn't expect that Nie Ze would know him, a mere squad leader.
Nie Ze nodded and said,
"I have some impression of the person you mentioned. At that time, not long after I took over as commander-in-chief, something like this happened, so I left a deep impression on him.
Well, just wait for me. "
After Nie Ze finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the handsome tent.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do, but they all waited quietly.
Not long after, Nie Ze also came out with a letter, handed it to Zhang Mengqi, and said,
"I have made the decision to allow you to go on an expedition with the army to Loulan Kingdom. When you meet Zhao Long or Xie Xing, you can show them this letter and they will help you find Zhang Xiaoyu and bring him back."
Hearing this, everyone had different reactions.
Zhang Mengqi was excited and excited. She got what she wanted and cried with joy.
Qi Xiaoyu tilted her head in confusion, wondering why Nie Ze did this.
Han Yun, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a little playful smile.
He just felt that the logic of this matter was wrong. How could someone like Zhang Xiaoyu betray the motherland.
It seems that this old boy Nie Ze knows some inside information.
