Qiu Xu's expression froze, and he asked Qin Feng again, "Did you see my sister go to Northern Qi with your own eyes?"
Qin Feng nodded slightly: "Of course, she went ahead of me, along with Gu Qian and those two young generals."
Qiu Dafu clenched his fist. "Is this really true?"
"Really?" Qin Feng affirmed.
Qiu Dafu felt that this was not the case. "No, you're lying."
His eldest niece knows her place; she would never leave without saying goodbye.
Qin Feng smiled faintly, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"I heard that you went to Xiajia Village to look for Xiaoyan. What were you looking for her for?" Qiu Dafu felt a sudden sense of crisis.
"Of course I need to see a doctor." Qin Feng covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice. "Doesn't Uncle Qiu know my health condition? Back when I was at your house, I was already on the verge of death."
Qiu Xu shook his head: "If my sister wants to go to Northern Qi, she will definitely let me know in advance."
Qin Feng smiled faintly: "I've already made myself very clear."
His sickly appearance revealed no flaw whatsoever.
Seeing Qiu Dafu and Qiu Xu deep in thought, he slightly curled the corners of his lips and smiled:
"Perfect timing. I'm heading to Northern Qi now. I wonder if Uncle Qiu and Qiu Xu would be willing to travel with me?"
Qiu Xu hesitated, his gaze falling on Qiu Dafu.
Qiu Dafu shook his head, wondering what Qin Feng was going to do in Northern Qi.
Knowing that this man was the cause of the turmoil in Huaiyuan, Qiu Dafu harbored constant hostility towards him, and at this moment, this hostility was deepening little by little.
Although he didn't know Qin Feng's true identity, he knew that Qin Feng was definitely not a friend.
"Second Uncle Qiu, the war is raging, and Qiu Yan is in grave danger. Aren't you worried about your niece?" Qin Feng continued to urge.
Qiu Dafu shook his head again. Qin Feng was no simple man.
Unable to persuade Qiu Dafu, Qin Feng respectfully took his leave.
"Since Uncle Qiu is unwilling to come along, then I, Qin, will take my leave first. Farewell!"
Qin Feng treated Qiu Dafu as an elder in every word and deed, without ever overstepping his bounds.
The carriage curtain fell, and the carriage embarked once again on its journey north.
Qiu Xu looked at the slowly moving carriage and the rumbling ruts.
"Second Uncle, did you bring any money?"
Qiu Dafu reached for his waist and handed a bag of silver coins to Qiu Xu.
Qiu Xu weighed the money in his hand, opened it, and exclaimed, "Five taels of silver?" Not enough for them to buy a horse.
Qiu Dafu guessed what Qiu Xu was thinking and shook his head. "Don't tell me you're going to Northern Qi to find your sister. Qin Feng's words are not to be trusted."
"I know, but I don't want to go back if I can't find my sister," Qiu Xu insisted.
“But Ah Xu, Ling’er and your second aunt are still waiting for us at home. You go back, and your second uncle will go alone.”
Recently, with frequent battles, he often dreams of his elder brother, who lies before him covered in blood.
In the dream, his elder brother, on his deathbed, asked him to take care of his three children.
Qiu Dafu didn't want to experience that separation of life and death again; it felt like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
On the bloody battlefield, a single misstep can cost you your life.
Now that his fifth brother has gone to the battlefield, his heart is still unsettled.
"Second Uncle, I know you're worried about my sister, but you just said he's not trustworthy."
It's hard to believe, but what if it's true? Qiu Dafu didn't dare to gamble. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Helpless, Qiu Xu was persuaded by his second uncle and forced to return home.
Second Uncle is right, Ling'er and Second Aunt are still waiting for them at home.
Ahead,
"etc!"
Qiu Dafu ran a few steps and stopped the carriage. "I'll go with you."
Qin Feng is a dangerous man. Besides searching for his niece, Qiu Dafu also wants to know what Qin Feng is going to do in Northern Qi.
Gu Qian is the man Xiao Yan cares about, and he cannot let Gu Qian fall into danger.
