Chapter 38 Farewell to Family
Xiao family.
Lin Qingwan, Madam Xiao, and Xiao Fushu were gathered together to make clothes.
There was a brazier burning in the room, making it warm.
Madam Xiao spoke.
"Fuguang, this kid, didn't even bother coming back to tell his family he's safe. I heard the Imperial Master was assassinated, and I don't know if he's okay."
Lin Qingwan stopped sewing when she heard this.
"Mother, don't worry. Fu Guangji is blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to him."
Xiao Fushu also spoke.
"Yes, mother. Besides, the Imperial Master is an important figure. There will definitely be people protecting the Imperial Master's Mansion in the future. My sister will be safe there too."
As they were talking, a maid came in and bowed.
"Madam, Young Madam, Third Miss, and Second Miss are back."
After hearing this, several people hurriedly put down their needles and thread.
Lin Qingwan even spoke with a smile.
"Mother, you see, we can't talk about people behind their backs. If we don't talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear. Fortunately, we didn't say bad things about Fu Guang behind her back, otherwise she would have heard it."
Lin Qingwan had just finished speaking.
Then Xiao Fuguang's voice was heard.
"Mother, sister-in-law, Fushu."
Xiao Fushu walked forward and took her hand.
"Sister, you're finally back. Mother and sister-in-law keep nagging me about you. My ears are almost callused."
Lin Qingwan smiled and joked.
"You're talking as if you haven't said anything. You're just thinking about your sister coming back."
Xiao Fuguang took Xiao Fusu's hand and walked over to sit down together.
"I miss you too, but there are many books in the Imperial Master's Mansion that I have never read before. I got a little carried away when I started studying."
Then he looked at Madam Xiao with a hesitant expression.
"Mother, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her expression, Madam Xiao spoke hurriedly.
"You speak, and mother listens."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang looked at them solemnly and spoke.
"Mother, I want to follow the Regent to Yanmen City."
Madam Xiao spoke hurriedly.
"What are you going to Yanmen City for?"
It seems that the Xiao family is still unaware of the war.
"Mother, Beipan is invading, and Nanjiang is also intervening. Yanmen City is in danger. The Saint of Nanjiang has appeared. I have to go to the battlefield and confront the Southern Xinjiang wizard or the Saint."
Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale in an instant.
"Beipan is invading. How could a war break out? The New Year is almost here."
She held Xiao Fuguang's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry and reluctance.
"Fu Guang, the battlefield is dangerous. How can you take such a risk? Your father has already..."
When she said this, her voice choked and her eyes were red.
Lin Qingwan and Xiao Fushu were also shocked.
"It's all because we haven't left the house these days. We didn't know about such a big thing happening."
"Fuguang, you're a woman, let's let the men fight."
Looking at Lin Qingwan's worry.
Xiao Fuguang spoke.
"Sister-in-law, defending our country is not about gender."
"And the Saint of Southern Border is also a woman."
"It's normal that you don't know about what happened in Yanmen City. The New Year is coming soon, and the emperor won't let the news of the war spread too widely. Plus, no one in our family is in the court, so it's normal that mother and sister-in-law haven't heard about it."
"The situation is urgent. The Regent is already recruiting troops. I will be leaving with the army tomorrow."
"From now on, I'll be away from the Imperial City, so I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law to take care of the household."
"If you really encounter difficulties, go to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and the Master will help the Xiao family."
"Sister, are you...are you really going?" Xiao Fushu's voice trembled. She couldn't accept that her sister was about to embark on such a dangerous journey.
"I heard the Beipan people are fierce and warlike!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang patted her hands.
"Don't worry, my sister will deal with the saints and wizards in Southern Xinjiang. The regent will deal with those difficult people in Beipan."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Fuguang with eyes full of worry.
"Fuguang, can you not go?" Xiao Fuguang stepped forward and held Madam Xiao's hand.
"Mother, the witchcraft of Southern Border is not something that ordinary people can deal with. Master is injured and cannot leave the Imperial City. After all, Master must keep an eye on the celestial phenomena. If I don't go, once the Southern Border Saint uses witchcraft, it will undoubtedly add a huge dilemma to the Xuanyuan soldiers."
Looking at the determination in Xiao Fuguang's eyes, Mrs. Xiao recalled the scene when her father was about to go to the battlefield, and tears couldn't help but fall.
"Since you've made up your mind, Mother respects it. But Fu Guang, you must promise Mother that you will return safely. We are waiting for you in the Imperial City. You can't be like your father and brother, returning with cold corpses."
Seeing his mother crying, Xiao Fuguang couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Mrs. Xiao's eyes.
"Don't cry, mother. I promise I will come back safe and sound. I've learned a lot from Master these days, and I'll definitely protect myself."
"Besides, we have the Regent. He is the God of War of our Xuanyuan. As long as he is here, this war will definitely be won. Under his protection, my daughter will be safe."
Seeing this, Lin Qingwan also wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Mother, you continue chatting with Fu Guang. I will go prepare the ceremony for Fu Guang."
This night.
Xiao Fuguang slept with Madam Xiao.
The mother and daughter had endless things to talk about.
It was not until very late that Mrs. Xiao let Xiao Fuguang go to rest.
After all, we have to travel the next day.
After Xiao Fuguang fell asleep.
Madam Xiao reached out and stroked her face.
Eyes full of love and reluctance.
Early in the morning.
The army has already gathered outside the city.
When Gu Chuan saw Xiao Fuguang riding towards him in a red cloak, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Is she here to see me off? She even brought so many things with her.
She really still can't bear to leave me!
"Xiao Fuguang, you know you regret it now, right?"
"After a few months back at your parents' home, you finally realized that no one would want you except me, right?"
"I'm telling you, it's too late. The door of our Gu family is not open to you as you please."
Xiao Fuguang rode his horse into the team with Liu Yue Xingyue. The moment he looked at Gu Chuan, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Where does it hurt, General Gu?"
Gu Chuan was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Fuguang looked up and rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him.
This is the time to show what a caring maid is, Liu Yue said sarcastically.
"General Gu looks so energetic, he doesn't look sick. Why is he talking so incoherently? No wonder my young lady can't understand him."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Chuan with a puzzled look.
"Could it be that General Gu has lost his mind?"
