Family reunion
A few people turned around and saw Feng Chenyu walking towards them with a smile on his face.
"Deputy Fengshu."
Seeing this, everyone stood up.
"No need to be so formal, just call me Feng Chenyu."
He spoke quickly.
"That's right. No matter how high an official he is, in our Shangguan family, he is first a son-in-law!"
Shangguan Qi was confident and righteous.
Phew, everyone was amused by his words.
Then Shangguan Qi walked straight to Feng Chenyu, straightened his back,
"I don't care if you're a general or a vice minister, Shangguan Fuyao is my sister. If you dare to bully my sister, I will never forgive you!"
Feng Chenyu lowered his head and chuckled, then turned to look at Fuyao who was sitting beside him with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
"You forgot that your sister is skilled in martial arts. Is it possible that I am always the one who suffers?"
"That's more like it!"
Shangguan Qi said with satisfaction.
Seeing that her younger brother cared about and protected her so much, Fuyao was touched.
"Okay, Chenyu is here too, let's have dinner together."
Mrs. Xu spoke quickly, really afraid that her son would say something big again.
After dinner, Fuyao and Feng Chenyu went to the ancestral hall.
The two men stood in front of the tablet, each holding a bowl of tea.
"Mother, I'm back to see you.
Feng Chenyu and I are married, and you don’t have to worry about your daughter anymore.”
With red eyes, she poured the tea onto the straw and sand in front of the incense table.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I will definitely protect Fuyao."
Feng Chenyu's eyes were burning.
In the bedroom, Fuyao glanced at Feng Chenyu who was sitting at the table. She had been traveling all day and hadn't had a good night's sleep. She was really tired.
"Why don't you go out first, I want to take a shower."
Fuyao spoke with embarrassment, Feng Chenyu was kept by his family tonight.
Feng Chenyu nodded and walked out obediently.
Since he had nowhere to go, he started practicing martial arts in the yard.
Fuyao was half lying in the bathtub, feeling particularly at ease listening to the sound of him practicing martial arts outside.
Suddenly I remembered the first time they met. Later they went to Ningbei together. Unexpectedly, they got married. Now they are back to Ganzhou again.
I find it all so incredible!
That night, they were still one in bed and one on the floor.
When Fuyao woke up in the morning, she saw that Feng Chenyu was no longer in the room. She put on her clothes and walked out of the room.
Green lemon just entered the yard,
"Madam, wake up. Breakfast is ready."
The two of them came to the hall, where Madam Xu and Uncle Yu were already waiting.
"I met Chenyu earlier and he said he had to go out to do something, so he didn't have time to eat breakfast in a hurry."
Madam Xu smiled.
"You should rest at home for a while. Chenyu said your journey back was quite bumpy."
Fuyao lowered his head and drank a mouthful of porridge.
"I want to go see Mr. Shen later."
"Then I'll go with you."
Uncle Yu said hurriedly.
"Lime and I can go."
Fuyao declined.
"It's not safe outside now. What if we encounter bandits?"
Uncle Yu was worried.
Finally, at Fuyao's insistence, someone sent a carriage to take them out.
When we arrived at the Shen Mansion, Mr. Shen was the only one at home.
"The little girl has finally grown up."
In the hall, Mr. Shen held Fuyao's hand.
"I'm so happy that you can come and see me, what else can I bring?"
Fuyao chuckled,
"I just picked out some snacks that you usually like to eat."
"Now that you're married, I think your mother is happy too!"
Old Shen looked at her with a kind gaze, then took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and handed it to her.
Fuyao was busy trying to refuse.
"That's unacceptable!"
Mr. Shen pulled her little hand over and took the opportunity to put the jade bracelet on her.
"What's so impossible? Even your mother was raised by me.
Now that you're married, as your wife's family, I have to prepare some dowry for you!"
Mr. Shen said in a tone that would not tolerate refusal.
"I used to think you could be my Shen family's daughter-in-law, and now it's pretty good!"
Fuyao lowered her head and stopped refusing.
The two chatted for a while, and when it was Mr. Shen's lunch break, Fuyao said goodbye.
It’s just that as soon as she arrived at the gate, she met Shen Lingze who had just returned home.
"Fuyao."
Shen Lingze was very happy to see her.
"Brother Shen."
Fuyao shouted.
"I heard you guys arrived yesterday, are you all right?"
Shen Lingze learned about Fuyao and Feng Chenyu from Cao Cang.
Fuyao smiled and nodded.
"I heard that several of the Shen family's stores were looted by bandits!"
Shen Lingze couldn't help but frowned slightly,
"Fortunately, there are only a few shops affected, so the loss isn't too big."
"Um."
Fuyao replied,
"I hope we can successfully eliminate the bandits as soon as possible and restore peace to Ganzhou."
In recent days, due to the presence of bandits, there are obviously fewer people on the streets of Ganzhou.
Sitting in the carriage and looking out the window, I missed the crowded streets of the past.
The cries of vendors along the street and the bargaining of people buying things, everything seems like yesterday.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a mother and son in front of her with disheveled hair and dirty faces, asking for food from everyone they met.
But when I asked for a few people, they were all pushed away.
Fuyao hurriedly got up and got out of the car and came to the mother and child.
"Why are you begging for food here?"
"We are from the village next door. Some time ago, bandits came to our village, robbed and killed people, and finally burned down the village.
My son and I barely escaped death, but because we had no money, we had to starve!"
As she spoke, the mother began to cry.
Fuyao looked down at the child, who was about ten years old, and his eyes were also blurred with tears.
Then he took out a sack of eggplants, took out some copper coins and handed them to them.
"Go buy some food."
The mother and son took the money and expressed their gratitude.
Fuyao looked at their departing figures and felt bad.
Just as she was about to turn around and get in the car, suddenly a dozen people, also in tattered clothes, came over from the corner of the street.
Everyone knelt down in front of Fuyao.
"Madam, please be kind. We have been hungry for several days."
Fuyao looked down at their pitiful appearance and then took out the eggplant bag.
But before she could take out the copper coins, a man who had just been kneeling stood up and snatched the eggplant bag from her hand.
With a clang, the eggplant bag fell to the ground, and the copper coins inside bounced all over the floor like marbles.
When a group of people saw the copper coins falling to the ground, they hurriedly stood up and tried to grab the copper coins from under Fuyao's feet as if they had seen a treasure. Fuyao was shocked!
"What are you doing?"
There was a shout from the crowd, and Feng Chenyu came on horseback with a group of soldiers.
Seeing her clearly in the crowd, Feng Chenyu hurriedly dismounted and came to her.
When those people saw the soldiers, they picked up the money and ran away.
"Why are you here?"
Feng Chenyu asked worriedly.
"Oh, I just went to the Shen Mansion and met them on the way back."
Fuyao couldn't help but sigh,
"They're already homeless, and now they're hungry."
Feng Chenyu lowered his head to comfort her.
"I have discussed this matter with Magistrate Cao. Starting tomorrow, we will provide them with shelter and daily necessities in the temple."
Feng Chenyu was worried about Fuyao, so he personally sent her back home.
"I'm quite busy these days, so I'll be staying in the south of the city for the time being."
Feng Chenyu said this when he left.
Looking at his figure riding away on horseback, Fuyao thought that she should do something for everyone.
The night in Ganzhou gradually became darker.
On the city wall, Feng Chenyu looked into the distance at the southeastern highlands. The bandits had been so quiet in the past few days, so it was probably time for them to come out.
He placed people in both the defense troops and the night watchmen just in case.
He suddenly saw something like sparks flashing in the southeast from a distance, and then shouted,
"Ma Sui, tell everyone to be on high alert, the bandits have appeared."
The sparks that were just faint began to become clearer. Feng Chenyu estimated that there were about a thousand people holding torches and riding horses, rushing towards the city gate.
These bandits are really fearless. They know that the city is guarded by soldiers, yet they still dare to come so blatantly.
As the sound of horse hooves got closer, Feng Chenyu slowly clenched his hand holding the long sword.
Just when the bandits thought that the city tonight seemed no different from usual, arrows suddenly flew from the quiet city wall, and then some people fell off their horses.
Crossbowmen are hidden in the corners and battlements of the city walls. After taking aim, they press the trigger, release the crossbow string, and shoot the arrow.
The Shenbi crossbow was powerful and had a long range, causing great casualties to the bandits.
Just as the remaining bandits were about to turn their horses around and flee, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush rushed out from all directions.
Both sides fought hard in the darkness!
With the help of the light and fire, Feng Chenyu vaguely saw a bald man with great martial arts skills. He killed several people in a row. Could he be the Vulture!
So Feng Chenyu quickly rushed down the city wall, and then the city gate opened and he rode out on horseback.
In the firelight, a long knife attacked Vulture, but he was agile and dodged it with a dodge.
Then he stabbed at Feng Chenyu with a big knife, and the latter raised the long knife and put it against his head.
Feng Chenyu twisted his wrist and spun his long sword, stabbing towards the vulture's shoulder.
Seeing this, the vulture quickly turned around and prepared to flee. Seeing that their big brother was in trouble, the younger brothers around him hurriedly rode their horses to provide cover. The vulture took the opportunity to turn his horse's head and ran into the forest.
Feng Chenyu and several generals continued to chase him, but they saw him disappear in the distance in the forest.
"Don't chase a desperate enemy."
Feng Chenyu shouted and turned his horse towards the city.
He originally wanted to bring nearly a thousand people to the city to do something big, but ended up not getting any money or property, and almost all his men were wiped out. Vulture dismounted angrily and walked into the hall.
"Damn it, you're still in the mood to drink here!"
Vulture saw Xu Lao Er drinking leisurely at the table, and he became furious.
“I almost didn’t make it back.”
Because Vulture dodged in time and someone provided him with cover, he only suffered a minor scratch on his shoulder.
Xu Jing, dressed in white, drank a glass of wine by himself.
"His name is Feng Chenyu, the second son of the Great General of Sealing. He was the one who won the previous battle of Xindong."
"So those people just now were from the Feng family army. No wonder they were so good at fighting!"
The name of the seal is known to everyone in the world, and the vulture is no exception.
"So I advise you, big brother, not to act rashly in the future, otherwise you will fail."
Xu Jing poured himself another glass of wine.
"The Feng family army can be considered true heroes!"
"From what you say, you seem to admire them very much!"
The vulture sat in front of the seat with a face full of flesh.
Xu Jing lowered his head and chuckled, but said nothing more.
