Marry a good husband
After the heavy blow they suffered that night, the bandits have been more peaceful these days and no longer dare to come rashly.
There were many refugees who came to the temple to seek help. Fuyao had been very busy these days. He went out early and came back late every day with Qingning to buy clothes, food, etc., and sent batches of them to the temple.
Today, she came to the temple early again with her belongings, but this time she was accompanied by Shen Lingze and other wealthy people from Ganzhou.
Cao Cang was mainly responsible for the temple relief work this time. Fu Yao couldn't help but sigh that Cao Cang seemed to have matured a lot after not seeing him for many days.
Just as a few people were distributing food to the refugees, Feng Chenyu came on horseback with several soldiers.
"Deputy Fengshu."
The sharp-eyed Cao Cang was the first to see it.
Feng Chenyu dismounted and walked towards them.
"Are you okay?"
After someone nodded to the others, they walked straight towards Fuyao.
Fuyao nodded, but Feng Chenyu suddenly took the fallen hair on her right side and tucked it behind her ear, looking at her with affection.
"Don't tire yourself out."
Cao Cang beside him couldn't help but sigh,
"There are a bunch of people around here!"
In public, Fuyao felt a little embarrassed, then took a step back and looked up.
"I'm fine."
Seeing her evasive gaze, Feng Chenyu felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He turned and looked at the crowd.
"Thank you all for coming to help."
When the people around heard that this was the leader of the Feng Family Army, they immediately became excited.
"You're welcome, we're just doing our job.
The Feng family army came all the way here to suppress the bandits. This is truly a blessing for Ganzhou!"
It turned out that the daughter of the Shangguan family married a great general, and also a famous hero who protected the country. Everyone sighed in their hearts.
In the military defense zone in the south of the city, Feng Chenyu was deploying a combat plan.
Through observations in recent days, he gradually became familiar with the terrain and various route channels of the southeast highlands.
He decided not to wait for the bandits to come out, but to take the initiative to attack.
In order to shorten the battle line as much as possible, we plan to divide our troops into three groups and attack the mountains and forests tomorrow.
Feng Chenyu himself would lead several hundred soldiers to lure the enemy, and then Ma Sui and Gan Jiang Wang Qingsheng would each lead a team of troops to ambush on the small paths on both sides of the forest, waiting for an ambush.
Just as he was looking down at the map, Ma Sui brought him a piece of news about Xu Jing, the second-in-command of the bandits.
Xu Jing's original name was Xu Huaichang, and he was originally a judge in Jingbei.
Later, the governor of Jingbei accidentally saw his fiancée and suddenly decided to take possession of her. The woman could not bear the humiliation and jumped into the lake to commit suicide.
In a rage, Xu Huaichang killed the prefect and burned down the prefect's mansion.
Because he is kind and righteous, he has made many friends and everyone is willing to follow him.
Although they were bandits, they basically robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
Later, he came to Ganzhou and was rescued by Cui Kaisheng, also known as Vulture, in an accident. They then became sworn brothers.
Hearing this, Feng Chenyu didn't expect that Xujing would have such a story.
Because it rained last night, the mountain was shrouded in fog when they woke up in the morning. So Feng Chenyu and others waited until the sun came out and the fog dissipated before entering the forest.
"Boss, something bad has happened!"
The bandit in charge of guarding the hall ran into the hall shouting.
The vulture who was drinking in the hall looked up and said viciously,
"What's all the fussing about?"
"The Feng family army is here."
The man gasped.
The vulture put down his wine glass.
"How many people are here?"
"About four or five hundred people."
The bandit raised his finger and pointed.
"Hmph!" The vulture was displeased.
"You only have four or five hundred people and they dare to come after us. If I don't show my power, do you think I'm a sick cat?
Yu Zui, take two thousand brothers with you and go with me to meet them."
"Big brother."
Xu Jing came hurriedly,
“Feng Chenyu is a man of courage and strategy.
They dared to come with only four or five hundred people, so they must have made some arrangements.
We should wait and see how the situation develops before making any plans, and avoid any rash actions."
"If you're scared, stay in the village. Don't let others' prestige swell up here and destroy your own!"
Vulture picked up his sword and walked out of the hall regardless of anything.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Feng Chenyu and his group less than 300 meters away from the village.
Seeing the bandits coming out, Feng Chenyu asked everyone to stop.
Vulture looked at the approaching army and the flags with the word "seal" on them, and suddenly felt his blood rushing to his head.
So he shouted,
"Charge!"
Seeing this, Feng's army also rode over, and another melee broke out between the two sides.
At the beginning, the bandits were obviously no match for Feng's army, but later, because of the large number of bandits, Feng's army's physical strength was exhausted. Seeing this, Feng Chenyu shouted to retreat, and everyone turned their horses around and prepared to leave.
When Vulture saw many of his brothers being killed, he knew that the enemy was in a desperate situation, so how could he let them go? He immediately ordered his brothers to gallop and chase after them, and he followed closely behind.
But just after he ran out for a while, he suddenly remembered Xu Jing's words and felt something was wrong.
Then he turned his horse around and prepared to return to the village, but just as he turned around, Feng Chenyu, who had just been in front of him, suddenly appeared from somewhere.
"Where are you going?"
He looked at the vulture with a cold gaze.
"You cheated again!"
The vulture was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Then he swung his sword and rode towards Feng Chenyu, and the two started fighting again.
Although the vulture is strong, it only relies on brute force. When its physical strength is gradually exhausted, it is Feng Chenyu's turn to kill it.
Just as Feng Chenyu was about to stab him with his long sword, a long sword suddenly came from the air and blocked the attack of the long sword.
It turned out to be Xu Jing, who was dressed in white and riding a horse.
Seeing this, Vulture hurriedly fled towards the village on horseback.
Xu Jing and Feng Chenyu fought again, but Feng Chenyu felt that Xu Jing's martial arts might not be inferior to his, but he only defended and did not attack every time, as if he was just delaying time.
Then he stopped the long sword in his hand, and as expected, Xu Jing also retracted his sword.
"I've heard that Brother Bai is kind and righteous, so why would he work with someone as vulgar and evil as Vulture?"
Feng Chenyu expressed the doubts in his mind.
Brother Bai looked up at the sky.
"General Feng is wrong. How can people truly distinguish between good and evil?
Although some people are in the right position, they always do shameful things.
Even though some people become bandits, they can still contribute some strength to those in need."
After saying this, he prepared to ride his horse back to the camp.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu."
Seeing him about to leave, Feng Chenyu hurriedly said,
"I see that Brother Xu is a man of extraordinary conversation and excellent martial arts skills. Have you ever considered abandoning the dark and joining the light?"
"Hahaha."
Xu Jing turned around and smiled contemptuously.
"bright?
In this treacherous world, may I ask where General Feng Ming is?
"The light is on the sword, the light is in the will of the people, the light is in this vast land!
It's a pity that Brother Xu's talent is only used in this area.
If you don't mind, you can join my Feng Family Army, fight alongside me in bloody battles, and protect our country and our people!"
Feng Chenyu was filled with passion.
The contempt on Xu Jing's face gradually faded away. How could he not admire what Feng's army did?
But how could he abandon his brothers now?
Looking at his receding back, Feng Chenyu's heart was full of regret, and those who continued to chase the Feng family army never returned.
One can imagine how Vulture felt when he returned to the village. Seeing Xu Jing return safely, he was furious.
"As the second-in-command of this stronghold, how could you ignore your brothers? No wonder even a judge like him couldn't last long!"
Xu Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke,
"I hope you will think twice before doing anything in the future, and don't ruin your brothers' lives again."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Just as he left, he heard a loud noise of a wine glass being knocked over behind him.
It was just getting dark when Fuyao and Qingning returned home.
"You haven't had a good rest for a single day since you came home.
I'm so busy every day, and I don't even know how to take care of myself."
In the hall, Madam Xu was scolding Fuyao with heartache.
Fuyao lowered her head and smiled, then said coquettishly,
"Isn't it because Second Aunt loves me?"
Just as the two were talking, Feng Chenyu walked in.
"Chen Yu is back."
Mrs. Xu hurried forward to greet him.
"Second Aunt."
Feng Chenyu bowed,
"I've been very busy lately and haven't been back home much. I hope you can forgive me."
Mrs. Xu smiled and told him to sit down quickly.
"No matter how busy you are, you should take care of your health!"
"What have you been busy with today?"
Fuyao took a sip of tea and turned to ask, because they met in the temple yesterday after he hurriedly left the house the day after he came back.
Feng Chenyu looked at her with a smile.
"Today we attacked the bandits' stronghold. Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly."
Fuyao nodded upon hearing this.
They chatted for a while, and then Madam Xu left on the pretext of wanting to give them more space.
Fuyao felt tired after a busy day, so she stood up and walked towards her yard.
Seeing this, Feng Chenyu also hurriedly stood up and followed behind silently.
After entering the bedroom, Fuyao turned around and saw him standing at the door, so she spoke,
"Are you planning to stay at the mansion tonight?"
Feng Chenyu nodded.
So the two of them lay down, one on the bed and the other on the ground.
Fuyao was very tired, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
"Can't sleep?"
Feng Chenyu asked in the darkness.
"Um."
Fuyao responded softly.
"Why?"
He asked.
The person on the bed sighed.
“There are many children among the refugees this time, and most of them were orphaned at a very young age.
Even if the temple provides them with food, clothing and shelter temporarily, what will they do in the future?
I was wondering...
Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Feng Chenyu hurriedly asked,
"What are you thinking about?"
“I’m wondering if we can build a place specifically for adopting these orphans.”
Fuyao said loudly.
"Isn't there a nursing home?"
Feng Chenyu was puzzled.
"I went to see it today. There are limited spaces and manpower there."
He shook his head in pain.
"I support your idea just now."
Feng Chenyu replied in the darkness.
After breakfast the next day, the two went about their own business.
Originally, Feng Chenyu planned to accompany Fuyao to see if there was a suitable courtyard for the children to live in, but Fuyao knew that he had his own things to do, so she refused.
However, hard work pays off. After strolling on the street for almost a day, Fuyao found an empty house on a piece of grass not far from the corner of the street.
After inquiring, I learned that the place was previously rented to a businessman, but later the lease was vacated because the location was far from the neighborhood and inconvenient for traveling to the market.
So she rented it without saying a word.
In the room, Fuyao was sitting at the desk planning the layout of the nursing home, when she suddenly saw Madam Xu walk in.
"Busy."
She smiled and sat down.
"Second Aunt."
Fuyao looked up.
Mrs. Xu raised her hand and handed her a few pieces of paper. Fuyao looked down and saw that they were several large bills and was surprised.
"Second Aunt, what does this mean?"
"This is the dowry your uncle Yu and I prepared for you."
Mrs. Xu looked at her.
"No, Second Aunt, there's no need to do this."
Fuyao hurriedly stuffed the ball into Second Aunt's hands.
Madam Xu put the book on the desk again.
"Just think of it as us doing our bit for these orphans."
Seeing that Second Aunt was so insistent, Fuyao no longer refused.
