Chapter 211 Beiling People
Chapter 211 Beiling People
The baby's little hands have been in the cradle and are still warm.
Feeling the warmth of her body, Shang Ruoyi finally felt relieved.
Even though the child was discovered by my son as soon as I put her at the door, I was still worried that she would catch a cold.
He Jingheng looked at the baby in her arms, quite surprised.
Yunqi whispered: "Master, this child..." He is not going to be taken back to the place of exile!
At this time, the shopkeeper walked up to Shang Ruoyi and said with a smile: "Miss, this child seems to be destined for you, why don't you take her home! After all, she is a life, and I don't have a companion, so I really can't take care of her! Please be kind and take her away!"
Shang Ruoyi didn't say anything. She turned to look at He Jingheng, and seeing that he didn't show any sign of rejection, she walked towards him with the child in her arms.
"If I wanted to adopt her..."
"it is good."
Before she could finish her words, He Jingheng smiled and said, "Since you like it, you can stay."
Shang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment.
Why is he so easy to talk to?
The Dingwang Palace is so big that it can afford to support not only one child, but even a hundred or a thousand.
But he rarely saw such an expression on Shang Ruoyi's face.
Joy from the heart.
On the way back, Yunqi found a carriage.
There is a thick layer of cushion inside, which is warm and comfortable.
The baby was already asleep when we got in the car.
He Jingheng sat opposite Shang Ruoyi, and saw that her face, which usually had a calm expression, was now filled with a look of pity that he had never seen before, and his heart was slightly moved.
If one is so fond of an adopted child, what would he do if it were his own flesh and blood?
If it was their child, it would definitely be more beautiful and lovely than this baby in swaddling clothes.
Feeling his gaze on her, Shang Ruoyi coughed lightly.
"what happened?"
"Nothing." He Jingheng looked away, his face looking a little unnatural as if he was thinking about something.
If we use fast horses, we can arrive in ten days, but now we use a horse-drawn carriage, the speed has naturally decreased.
"New Year's Day is next month. If we walk slowly, we might miss it." Shang Ruoyi patted the child in her arms. At this moment, a gray bird landed on the car window.
This is the bird used by Qinglong Village to convey messages.
This bird is extremely sensitive to smells. The birds in Qinglong Village have been raised since childhood and can track smells. Previously, Qinglong Village sent a purse, and the smell emitted by the purse attracted the birds in Qinglong Village.
Shang Ruoyi took the note off the bird's leg without any hesitation towards He Jingheng sitting opposite her.
When I saw the content above, my brows couldn't help but frown.
"What happened?"
Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "It seems that we need to go back quickly. It seems that a group of Beiling people are hanging around the village."
"Beiling people?"
He Jingheng whispered, "I think he was sent by the Emperor of Beiling."
They killed Beiling's general and deputy general, and sent their bodies on the emperor's birthday. The Beiling emperor must have found out their identities, and now they are around Shiya Village, and they must have some plan.
They were right in their guess. General Beiling received instructions from Emperor Beiling to wipe out the entire Dingguo Palace.
They explored the surroundings several times and found that there were many secret guards ambushing around the He Mansion, and there were also many snow bandits on the nearby hills.
"General, why don't we send a few skilled brothers to explore the He family tonight?"
General Beiling glared at him and said, "Scouting? Is your brain on your ass? He Jingheng is still in the mansion, and there are so many secret guards around. Wouldn't it be a big deal if we go there?" He kicked the deputy general and said, "We are no match for He Jingheng at all. We can only wait for He Jingheng to leave the mansion and take the opportunity to slaughter the remaining He family members. When he comes back, all he will see are their corpses. Then we will find a chance to bring him back to Beiling and hand him over to His Majesty for disposal."
Upon hearing this, the deputy general nodded and said, "General, you are wise."
General Beiling waved his hand and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on us, or we might be discovered by He Jingheng's men before we even get to the battle."
"Yes, General."
He Jingheng looked at the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Beiling has not been taught enough lessons."
"Is there any deep hatred between you and Beiling?"
"The Crown Prince of Beiling died in my hands."
hiss······
Shang Ruoyi blinked, so that's it.
If she were the Emperor of Beiling, she would definitely try every possible means to seek revenge.
"Prince Beiling thinks he is extremely talented and invincible, so he has to lead the troops into battle himself. Swords and spears are merciless on the battlefield. I didn't want to kill him, but he was too useless. I killed him in just a few dozen rounds." He Jingheng was quite helpless when he mentioned this.
Since then, Beiling has had an irreconcilable feud with the Dingguo Palace and even the entire Tianshun. There have been many assassinations overtly and covertly over the years. Last time, they took advantage of the chaos to kidnap He Yuwen and almost tortured him to death, and also caused He Jingheng to almost become a cripple.
Judging from the current situation, they want to take this opportunity to uproot the Dingguo Palace.
"It seems that we need to speed up our pace."
At this time, in Qinglong Village, Lin Mu listened to his subordinates' reports with a frown on his face.
"The Beiling people are definitely going after the He family." Yan Ye's eyes lit up: "Brother, how about we try to stalk the cicada like a mantis this time?"
“A mantis stalks a cicada?”
"We will wait for Beiling to slaughter all the members of the He family, then we will capture Beiling's soldiers, rob them, and take all the money of the He family. What do you think?" Yan Ye thought his approach was very smart, and waited for Lin Mu to praise him.
"Is this called a mantis stalking a cicada?" Lin Mu picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it on his head: "This is called a oriole behind!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the oriole is behind." Yan Ye rubbed his head and asked for credit: "Brother, what do you think of my proposal? Is it good?"
"Good good."
Listening to Lin Mu's words, the smile on Yan Ye's face didn't have time to expand before a shoe sole flew over and hit him in the mouth.
"Bullshit!" Lin Mu said angrily, "We are bandits, not fools. Even if we are bandits, we are Tianshun bandits. How can we watch the people of Tianshun being slaughtered by those Beiling people? Use your brain before you speak, don't just think about eating all day long."
Hearing this, Yan Ye smacked his lips and said dryly, "Brother, does that mean that we in Qinglong Village can only serve as servants for the He family in the future?"
Hearing the word "servant", Lin Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and the other shoe flew out: "Shut your mouth, next time you say such discouraging words, what flies over will not be a shoe, why don't you get out and let the brothers watch at the foot of the mountain?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Yan Ye ran out quickly.
Shang Ruoyi and the others changed to fast horses again. The baby was held in Shang Ruoyi's arms and covered with a cloak. It seemed that she had a child in her arms, but in fact, she had already put the baby into the space.
