Chapter 62: Searching for Her
Si Xuan looked at Lin Qianqian steadily, "Miss Lin, did you kill a human trafficker when you were a child?"
"How do you know about my childhood? It was during the Lantern Festival. There were too many people and my family and I were separated. We were left alone and targeted by human traffickers. I later stabbed the criminal to death with a hairpin."
Si Xuan couldn't believe that the girl he had been looking for for so many years was Lin Qianqian.
He always thought of the little girl from his childhood. That little girl was the white moonlight in his heart.
Si Xuan later specifically asked someone about the whereabouts of the little girl, but was unable to find anyone.
I didn't expect it to be so close at hand.
I searched for her among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, she was standing in the dim light.
Speaking of which, I really have a connection with this Miss Lin.
He was saved by Miss Lin when he was a child, and he couldn't escape the fate of being saved by Miss Lin when he grew up.
Before escorting grain out of the capital, he specifically asked his family to cancel the Lin family's marriage, because his heart was occupied by the girl from the Lantern Festival, and he also knew that Lin Qianqian had no feelings for him.
The reason why he gave Lin Qianqian so many generous gifts was because he didn't want to owe her a favor for her medical treatment.
It seems that I must send a letter home as soon as possible, hoping that I can stop the engagement from being cancelled in time.
General Yue reported from outside again: "My Lord, the Grand Marshal of Beiyue Pass has sent someone over."
It is so close to Beiyue Pass, but we sent people to Beiyue Pass several times to ask for reinforcements, but there was no response.
Now that all the northern barbarians have been killed, the reinforcements from Beiyue Pass have finally arrived.
Si Xuan knew Qin Chuan very well. Qin Chuan had always been a cunning person.
If he had not been suffering from a mental illness for three years, Qin Chuan would never have been the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Si Xuan secretly decided that it didn't matter if Qin Chuan made things difficult for him, but if he made things difficult for Miss Lin, then don't blame him for being rude.
Lin Qianqian wrapped the tiger skin tightly around her body and stuck her head out of the carriage to look at the people coming from Beiyue Pass.
It was discovered that there were men, women, young and old, and they were obviously not the guards of Beiyue Pass.
Could these people be criminals exiled to Beiyue Pass? I wonder if there are any members of the Jiang family among them?
Lin Qianqian quickly jumped off the carriage and looked around.
She had really expected it, and soon a whole family ran towards her.
"Like, really like."
"She looks just like my aunt."
More than a dozen people from the Jiang family came today, and they all surrounded Lin Qianqian.
Jiang Yueying, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is about the same age as Lin Qianqian. Due to the hardships she suffered at the border, her skin is rough and dark, and her hands are covered with calluses, but her eyes are full of surprise when she sees Lin Qianqian.
Standing in front of Lin Qianqian was Old Lady Jiang, with a look of disbelief on her face, muttering, "You, you are?"
"My name is Lin Qianqian, and my mother's name is Jiang Yuhe."
Her mother, who had been missing for many years, was named Jiang Yuhe, a woman as brilliant as a lotus flower.
After listening to Lin Qianqian's words, everyone was finally able to confirm and affirm Lin Qianqian's identity.
Jiang Yueying: "Cousin, it's great to see you."
The calloused hands tightly grasped Lin Qianqian.
The old lady of the Jiang family fainted from crying and was supported by Lin Qianqian's two aunts.
"Help Grandmother onto my carriage first."
After helping everyone onto the carriage, Lin Qianqian looked around at the Jiang family.
The Jiang family members all wore patched clothes and were skinny.
It can be seen that at the border, people not only have to do hard labor, but also have to go hungry and have cold clothes.
Lin Qianqian burst into tears all of a sudden.
She had already found out the truth and knew that the reason why the Jiang family had fallen into its current miserable situation was because the Jiang family knew that she was thrown into a mass grave by Lin Qingyun, and out of anger, they confronted the Lin family and the Prime Minister's Mansion fiercely.
The Jiang family was born into a military family. Unfortunately, the military officer was too honest to be outdone by the cunning of the civil officials, and was eventually framed by Prime Minister Wang and his gang.
So the Jiang family is so miserable now, it’s all because of her.
"Grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle...I will definitely take you back to Beijing."
Lin Qianqian's grandfather Jiang Yuan was a man who took the overall situation into consideration. He urged everyone, "Big things are important. The most important thing is to transport the grain back to Beiyue City immediately."
Arriving at Beiyue City, Lin Qianqian finally met Qin Chuan, the commander-in-chief of the three armies stationed here.
Qin Chuan looks slightly plump, with a hint of arrogance on his face.
After all, he is now the most powerful person in Beiyue City.
Si Xuan had sent people for help several times before, but Qin Chuan ignored them, which shows that he is a narrow-minded person.
Although I don't like Qin Chuan, I may have to deal with this guy frequently in the next few months.
Qin Chuan looked at Si Xuan and his group. It was surprising that none of the people who should have died were dead.
This time, the two thousand men outside Beiyue City wiped out 5,000 northern barbarians. The key point was that the number of casualties on the side of Champion Hou was extremely low, only a few hundred people.
It can be seen that although Guan Junhou was ill for three years, he still had the same fighting spirit after his return.
However, Guan Jun Hou seemed different from before. He actually saw Guan Jun Hou smile. This was the first time he saw it.
Champion Hou, why are you smiling so beautifully?
Aren't you the one who likes to act cool most on weekdays? Why are you laughing today? Are you laughing at me? Laughing at me, Qin Chuan, for not being able to get a share of the points in the battle outside Beiyue City?
But although you, Marquis Guanjun, wiped out all the enemies, you still failed to protect the food completely.
Qin Chuan started to argue as soon as they disagreed. "Marquis Guanjun, three carts of grain you were transporting were burned by the northern barbarians. I will report this matter to the court truthfully."
Si Xuan doesn’t care. If you want to report it, go ahead. I’m not afraid of you.
As long as you don't mess with my little girl.
His heart and eyes were now filled with smiles, and he was immersed in the joy of finding his beloved little girl.
"Don't worry, Marshal Qin. I will double the amount of food and have someone buy six carts of food from outside. They will be delivered to Beiyue City soon."
Qin Chuan knew that he could only satisfy his boast by facing the Champion Marquis, but he would not be able to win the title of Champion Marquis at all.
After all, Marquis Guanjun has the Queen Mother as his backer, and the Emperor is this guy's cousin.
However, this Miss Lin is a thorn in the side of his father-in-law, Prime Minister Wang.
Now Miss Lin is his subordinate. Since she is close to him, it will be easy to deal with her.
Qin Chuan had already received a secret letter from Prime Minister Wang, asking him to find a way to get rid of Lin Qianqian.
At this moment, Qin Chuan pretended not to know Lin Qianqian and deliberately asked, "Who is this girl?"
The upright General Yue quickly introduced him, "It's Captain Lin. In the battle outside Beiyueguan, Captain Lin has killed more than a thousand enemies. The number of heads he harvested is enough to be promoted to Captain. He only needs to wait for the official document from the court to be issued, and then he will be the Captain."
There was unparalleled pride in his tone.
General Yue's gratitude to Lin Qianqian cannot be expressed in words.
The more than 2,000 people escorting grain and fodder this time were all his subordinates. These soldiers were his subordinates and also his brothers.
He thought that he would be completely wiped out when facing 5,000 powerful Northern Barbarians, but Miss Lin's strange ideas protected so many of his brothers and sisters.
This kindness cannot be repaid.
