Reunion
After returning to the General's Mansion, Feng Chenyu had just changed his clothes when he called Ma Su into the room to question him.
"Is there any news from Xindong?"
"Except for the day before yesterday when the eldest master told me about gathering food supplies, there has been no news since then."
Ma Sui replied.
"It seems that it is still under our control."
Feng Chenyu lowered his head and muttered something.
"Sir, there is one more thing."
Ma Su just received the news,
"I heard that Madam Tong passed away due to illness."
"What did you say!"
Feng Chenyu, who was just about to get up, sat back in his chair with a sad look on his face.
He didn't expect that just a few days later, Madam Tong passed away!
Fuyao, you must be very sad.
Seeing his son looking so sad, Ma Sui mustered up the courage to continue.
"Madam Shangguan went to Ningbei alone and left home two days ago."
"She went to Ningbei?"
Feng Chenyu couldn't help but raise his voice, and then his voice became cold.
"Have them be extremely alert and don't allow Fuyao to make any mistakes.
Also, have them mark the route so we can speed up and catch up in two days."
"yes."
Ma Sui lowered his head and said.
Just after giving instructions to Ma Sui, Feng Chenyu was called to the main room by Madam Feng's maid, Madam Wu.
"Mother is looking for me."
He strode in.
Mrs. Feng, who was sitting by the window, raised her hand to signal him to sit down, and then spoke,
"In a few months you will be coming of age, and it will be time for you to get married and have children."
Hearing this, Feng Chenyu was stunned at first, because he had never felt cared for by A Niang before. He couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through his heart.
"Mother, my eldest brother is still single now, so I don't need to rush to get married."
Madam Feng frowned.
"Your eldest brother refused to marry because his eldest sister-in-law passed away suddenly and he couldn't let her go.
But you are different. At your age, you have to make plans."
After taking a breath, Madam Feng continued,
"I think Chen Nian is a good person. You two grew up together, so you can be considered childhood sweethearts.
This child has a noble character, and I like him very much."
"Mother, I have official duties to attend to right now, so I can't think about this for now."
Feng Chenyu interrupted Madam Feng.
"Even if you want to achieve great things, it won't prevent you from getting married and having children.
I believe the government also supports it.”
Madam Feng said, controlling her temper.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't follow your wishes."
As he spoke, Feng Chenyu stood up and walked out of the house.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Feng Chennian standing outside the door.
With tears in her eyes, she looked up at Feng Chenyu and murmured,
"Second brother, do you think Chen Nian is not worthy of you?"
“We grew up together and have a very good relationship.
But in my eyes, I have always treated you like a sister, nothing more."
Feng Chenyu frowned and explained.
Hearing this, Feng Chennian's tears welled up again, and she slowly replied,
"I see."
Looking at her quickly leaving, Feng Chenyu shook his head helplessly.
When he returned to his room, he felt irritated when he thought about what had just happened.
Then he called Ma Su inside,
"Have someone keep a close eye on Chen Nian and take good care of her."
Feng Chennian is the adopted daughter of the Feng family. Her father was once one of General Feng's capable subordinates.
He died in battle three months before Feng Chennian was born, and his wife also died in childbirth.
Therefore, Feng Chennian became the adopted daughter of the Feng family.
Over the years, General Feng, Madam Feng, and the two young masters of the Feng family have all loved this girl dearly, just like they were their own daughter.
But Feng Chenyu didn't expect that Feng Chennian would fall in love with him, his second brother, during their time together.
The next day, Feng Chenyu had just returned from the court when he heard that Feng Chennian had not eaten for a whole day.
He pushed open her door feeling a little angry and distressed, only to see her sitting at the table in a daze.
"Dust thoughts."
He shouted.
Hearing the voice, Feng Chennian looked up, his eyes slightly red.
"Second brother."
"I always thought you were a smart girl who could take good care of yourself."
Feng Chenyu lowered his head.
"I hope that one day in the future, you can meet someone who only has you in his eyes and heart, so that you can find true happiness."
"Couldn't Second Brother try to get along with me?
Besides, don’t we have a foundation of affection?”
Feng Chennian stepped forward with a determined heart.
Feng Chenyu took a step back and spoke in a firm tone,
"impossible.
To me, you will always be just a sister.
I can love you forever, but I can only be your sister."
"I see."
Feng Chennian's voice was as soft as a hum.
The next day, after bidding farewell to the emperor and a group of court officials in the main hall, Feng Chenyu and his entourage set off.
After leaving Ganzhou, Fuyao, dressed in men's clothes, headed northwest.
Because she often wore men's clothes, it was a familiar thing for her and naturally did not attract the attention of outsiders.
Feng Chenyu, who was riding a horse at the front of the road, couldn't help but speed up. He was worried about Fu Yao, a woman, sleeping alone in the open air, and he couldn't wait to see her.
That day, the sun was about to set.
Fuyao felt hungry and turned her head to look around. She found herself in a forest with no village in front and no shop behind.
Fortunately, there was still some dry food in the package, so he quickly dismounted, sat on the ground, and started eating without any care.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. She immediately packed her package and carefully walked to the side of the horse.
Through the branches and leaves, she saw a group of people coming towards her, some on horseback and some in cars, walking towards her in a mighty procession.
Because there was no time to leave, she quickly led the horse towards the dense branches on the left.
As soon as I hid myself, the group of people behind me came in front of me.
When she saw the people riding horses in the front row, her mouth opened wide.
She never thought that she would see Feng Chenyu again in this life.
However, she just watched the large group of people pass by in front of her.
After entering the post station, Feng Chenyu had a simple meal, his mind always on the mark he saw during the day.
According to the marks left by Zhao Song and the others, Fuyao should have arrived here as well.
But the road we just passed was completely deserted, except for the forest.
Oh, yes, he seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately walked out of the inn quickly.
Riding on a horse, Feng Chenyu anxiously ran into the forest.
In the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw a figure moving in the depths of the forest, and then it sped up.
But as he got closer, the figure suddenly ran in the opposite direction.
Feng Chenyu sped up again and was about to catch up.
He turned his horse around and intercepted the person who was trying to escape.
"Why do you run away when you see me?"
The white moonlight fell on Feng Chenyu's angular face, and he looked lovingly at the girl sitting on the horse opposite him.
Fuyao bit her lip lightly and pulled the horse's head again, preparing to run to the other side.
But this time Feng Chenyu did not give her the chance to leave. He jumped onto Fuyao's horse and hugged her firmly from behind.
"you?"
Fuyao exclaimed.
The horse was probably frightened and suddenly sped up and ran forward.
Feng Chenyu quickly lowered his head and reached out, grabbed the horse's reins and pulled hard back, and the galloping horse gradually stopped.
At this time, he had one hand around Fuyao and the other hand holding the reins, with no intention of letting go.
"Put me down."
Fu Yao, who was sitting in front, yelled angrily and shook her body hard to break free from his arms.
"If you move again, be careful the horse will get scared again."
Feng Chenyu said in a low and hoarse voice.
Fuyao stopped shaking instantly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Let me down."
"Promise me you won't leave."
Feng Chenyu spoke again, his words seemed to contain a hint of threat.
"Otherwise I won't let go."
Fuyao nodded helplessly, and the force behind her disappeared.
She jumped off the horse and walked forward quickly, but just after taking two or three steps, Feng Chenyu grabbed her arm from behind.
"It's been so long since we last met, are you so impatient to leave?"
He was met with silence.
"You are planning to go to Ningbei, right?"
He asked again.
Seeing that Fuyao didn't say anything, he pulled the person who had just turned his back to him towards him.
Fuyao looked up at him reluctantly and said coldly,
"My business is none of your business."
Looking down at her stubborn eyes, for a moment Feng Chenyu had the urge to hold her in his arms and kiss her.
Taking a deep breath, he loosened his arms and regained his composure.
"The destination of my mission this time is Ningbei.
I know you want to go to Ningbei, but have you ever considered the dangers you might encounter while traveling alone?
Even if you arrive safely, you can't just enter the Ningbei Palace whenever you want."
Perhaps she had heard it, Fuyao's expression became more relaxed than before.
He continued,
"If you don't mind, you can pretend to be my follower and go to Ningbei with me. Then you can enter and leave the palace openly."
Under Feng Chenyu's persuasion, the two rode their horses back to the post station.
He brought Fuyao to the room, appearing calm.
"It's late now, and there are no other rooms. Why don't you stay with me for one night?"
"What?"
Fu Yao, who had just stepped into the room, turned around in panic and clenched her hands.
"You sleep on the bed, and I'll make do on the table."
Feng Chenyu put down the long sword in his hand with an expressionless face and sat down at the table.
"If I go out all night, people will get suspicious if they see me."
He found a seemingly reasonable reason, but in fact he just wanted to be closer to her and had no other request.
Fu Yao didn't say anything when she saw this. She had already occupied his room, so it would be inappropriate to kick him out.
So the two of them said nothing more.
Perhaps because she was too tired, Fuyao fell asleep as soon as she put on her clothes and lay down.
Feng Chenyu, who had just been dozing off, slowly raised his head and, taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window, cast his gaze on the girl's face.
At this moment, her smooth and clean face showed a trace of tranquility and peace, and it was obvious that she was extremely tired.
The night passed by little by little, and when the first ray of dawn came in through the window, Feng Chenyu, who was lying on the table, moved.
The first thing he looked up at was the person lying on the bed. She was still sleeping and showed no intention of waking up.
The corners of Feng Chenyu's mouth rose unconsciously, and an extremely gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
He quietly got up, pushed the door open and walked out.
