Chapter 648 Return
For the next three days, everyone in Yuancheng was very busy.
Xu Qing was busy taking people to clean up the battlefield, while Xu Pinggui and others were borrowed by Qi Zhengfei.
According to Qi Zhengfei, there were few powerful soldiers in the military camp who had been lax for so many years, and it was impossible to control them, so he borrowed Xu Pinggui and others.
Lin Mo was naturally happy to hear this.
Seeing Xu Pinggui making excuses and asking for a replacement, Lin Mo drove him away without hesitation.
Go away quickly so as not to bother her.
Lin Mo was amused by the resentful expression on Xu Pinggui's face when he was driven away.
Li Shengting stayed with Xu Ziyue for a day and left in the evening of the same day.
Lin Mo naturally wanted him to leave quickly.
Seeing him, she felt pressured, afraid that he would take her things again. She had only a small fortune and could not afford it.
Three days passed in a flash.
Lin Mo changed her clothes early, and white silk was hung in the house. The smiles on everyone's faces faded, and they were all filled with heavy expressions.
After everything was ready, Lin Mo slowly walked out of the house with the help of the Xu sisters.
When I went out, I found that Yuancheng had already been covered in white.
Every household hung white silk to express mourning for Prince Anping.
After the three of them crossed the river, they did not go any further.
"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother sent a message back, telling us not to wait at the village entrance, but just wait here." Xu Xianyu's voice was a little low.
Thinking of his father's fate, Xu Xianyu has been in a bad mood.
"Yeah." Lin Mo didn't try to be stubborn.
In the past two days, she felt that her stomach was getting heavier and heavier. Sometimes when she stood up, she suddenly felt like the baby was falling down.
She estimated that she was about to give birth, perhaps in the next few days.
Fortunately, Old Xu is back, and she can give birth anytime, as she promised him.
She calmed herself down and didn't say anything to avoid making them worry.
Lin Mo looked at Xu Xianyu, "Is the ancestral hall ready?
After Dad's body is brought back, it will be kept there for a while until a burial date is chosen."
"It's all arranged. I asked Aunt Ying about many things to pay attention to, and everything is arranged according to her instructions." Xu Xianyu added with a stern face:
"I was afraid of making mistakes, so I asked Doctor Mu and the others."
Lin Mo nodded. "Just arrange it. Thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that she still looked sad and lost, Lin Mo shook his head, "Don't think too much, the situation is good now."
After all, some people with evil hearts just throw the corpses everywhere, and it’s impossible to pick them up even if you want to. Now at least we can pick up all the corpses.
But Uncle Peng didn't come back alive, and Lin Mo's eyes were a little dim.
At this moment, the baby in her belly kicked her on the belly.
hiss!
Lin Mo took a deep breath in his heart.
"Yeah." Xu Xianyu didn't notice Lin Mo's abnormality. She nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable. My father may not be a perfect father to us, but he is definitely a perfect official.
He was a good official who did so much for the people and protected so many people. Why did he end up like this?
"Good people don't have good lives." Xu Xianyu pursed his lips.
Lin Mo shook her head. She didn't say anything, but stared straight at the intersection.
I have never met him, nor have I received any favor from him.
So emotionally, the feelings are naturally not as strong as those of their sisters, there is just a slight sense of regret and sorrow.
After all, Prince Anping is a good man.
But the world is big, and there are all kinds of people. Naturally, there are people who are willing to do such evil things as digging graves and stealing bones.
At this moment, the people of Yuancheng came out dressed in white and stood on both sides of the street spontaneously. The scene became increasingly heavy and solemn.
Not long after, a team dressed in white appeared in the direction of the entrance of Yuancheng.
Xu Wuyan carried the coffin back.
Xu Xianyu and her sister's eyes turned red instantly, but they tried hard to hold back their tears because their father didn't like them crying.
When the coffin was near, the two sisters said with tears in their eyes:
"Dad, I'm home."
When the tired Xu Wuyan looked at Lin Mo, he nodded at her to indicate that he was fine.
Lin Mo pursed her lips and said, "Let's go home!"
In order to carry the coffin across, six boats were lined up on the river today, with thick wooden boards placed on them for people to carry the coffin across.
As Lin Mo finished speaking, the master who had been found in advance immediately stepped forward and made preparations.
But after making preparations, Xu Wuyan shouted:
"go home."
His voice was unusually hoarse at this time.
When the coffin was lifted up, he stretched out his left hand towards Lin Mo, and the couple took his father home together.
Lin Mo walked towards him slowly and reached out to grab his hand.
The moment they shook hands, the two looked at each other and then led the way.
But the accident happened at this moment.
Suddenly, a tall man from the crowd closest to them rushed towards Lin Mo with a sword in hand.
This scene scared many people.
"careful!"
"Sister-in-law, be careful!"
There were exclamations from all around. The accident happened so quickly that many people didn't have time to react.
Xu Qing reacted quickly and immediately rushed towards the other party to stop him, but he was still a step too late.
Lin Mo quickly turned around, only to see a long sword stabbing towards him, and a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Bang!
Just as Xu Wuyan pulled Lin Mo behind him, a sword suddenly came across and blocked the opponent's sword. He flipped his hand and swept the sword out, forcing the opponent back.
The assassin took a few steps back before he could steady himself. When he looked up, he was surrounded by Xu Qing and others.
And this person was Tiesha who had escaped before.
The person who drew his sword to stop him was Lin Tao.
Tiesha raised his head and stared at Lin Mo with anger in his eyes, "Did you guess that I would take action today?"
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded, not hiding what the other party meant:
“After I found out you had escaped, I knew you would come back to seek revenge on me.
I only go out on this day, and because my family is reunited, I might be careless on this day. I don't leave the house very often, so it's difficult for you to break in without being discovered. So this is your only chance, and you won't give up. "
That's why she asked Lin Tao, who was rarely seen by others, to protect her secretly. This is also the reason why Lin Tao was able to stop the other party in time.
Tiesha had met Xu Qing and the others, so he must have been prepared.
He had never seen Lin Tao, so he naturally ignored Lin Tao who was hiding near him.
Tiesha laughed, "The general's defeat was not unfair.
You've calculated every step he takes, and it's you who's secretly fueled his progress to where he is today, right?"
Everything happened so fast that they had no time to think about the deeper meaning. They were defeated and lost the Zhenbei Army.
After the general's death, he suddenly realized that they were in a trap, a trap that someone had prepared for the general.
"Yes." Lin Mo nodded and chuckled:
"Why, you don't think that you are the only ones allowed to plot against me, but I am not allowed to plot against you? Tiesha, there is no such good thing in the world.
If I don't take action, I'm afraid no one in Yuancheng will be able to escape your clutches.
Have you ever thought that they are innocent?
They just want to live a comfortable life, who have they offended?
You want to kill them just for your own selfish desires, so what qualifications do you have to blame me for being cruel?
After all, the current situation is that either we die or you die, right?"
Tiesha pursed his lips and slowly raised the sword in his hand. "I don't care about these things. I only have my master in my eyes. He saved me and gave me a second life. Whatever he says is what I listen to. So..."
Tiesha thrust the sword forward, "So today it's either you or me."
But when he moved, Xu Qing and others also took action.
No matter how good Tiesha's martial arts skills were, he could only retreat under the siege of Xu Qing and others.
Tiesha, whose neck was held by Xu Qing's sword, turned pale.
“I lost!”
Lin Mo was about to speak, but the next second, Tiesha's body was pushed forward.
Xu Qing was startled and was about to draw his sword, but he was a step too late.
His neck was ruthlessly cut by the sharp sword blade, and blood gushed out and scattered on the ground.
He looked at Lin Jiuyi unwillingly, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, and finally there was no movement.
Everyone was silent.
Although Song Yi is not a good person, he has people around him who are loyal to him.
Lin Mo sighed, "Carry it away and bury it properly."
Xu Qing nodded and had Tiesha's body carried away for a proper burial.
Lin Mo looked at Xu Wuyan and chuckled, "We're going home. The last obstacle has been cleared."
"Yeah." Xu Wuyan nodded.
He felt a little frustrated. His wife was so capable. He suddenly felt useless. "Madam."
He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, and she looked at him pitifully, "Madam, we will always be together, right?"
Lin Mo blushed and blurted out without thinking, "Old Xu, what do you mean by this? You didn't do something behind my back, did you? That's why you're asking me this?"
The words have been said. If a man says this, it usually means that he has done something excessive behind the woman's back.
Our main policy is leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. Tell me, have you done anything good behind my back?"
"How dare I? Madam is so outstanding, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you." Xu Wuyan felt aggrieved. Too many people spoke of her with praise, and he felt a sense of crisis.
Lin Mo shook her head, "Okay, stop being jealous, and send Dad back to the ancestral hall first."
"Yeah." Xu Wuyan nodded seriously and turned to let the coffin-bearing master follow.
Lin Mo accompanied him to carry the coffin in, but after taking two steps, Lin Mo's body stiffened and a hot current flowed out along her thigh.
She turned her head to look at Xu Wuyan, "Old Xu."
When he looked at her, Lin Mo said slowly, "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth."
Xu Wuyan's eyes widened, and the next second he picked her up and rushed home quickly, "Hurry up and call Doctor Mu and the midwife, hurry up!"
