Long Batian’s mission was to deal with the servants in the next yard silently.
Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer were brought into the old general's room by Qu Cheng.
Liu Qiaoer held the child in her arms, pretending to be timid and stretched her head to take a look.
"What happened, Lord?"
Qu Cheng: "I'm sick."
Cui Boxiao suddenly cried and threw herself on the old general's body: "How could you suddenly fall ill? You were fine when we left. Lord, wake up. We have found your grandson."
Cui Boxiao's pounce caught Qu Cheng and others off guard. They didn't want anyone to get close to Marquis Zhenbei.
However, seeing that Cui Boxiao was so old, he did not stop him.
The doctor beside him shook his head and said, "He is already terminally ill and will not wake up unless a miracle doctor comes..."
Little did he know that Cui Boxiao had already stuffed the soul-restoring pill he had prepared into the mouth of Marquis Zhenbei.
Not long after, Marquis Zhenbei suddenly coughed violently a few times. Qu Cheng hurried over to take a look, but he did not expect that Marquis Zhenbei had actually woken up.
There was a hint of viciousness in Qu Cheng's eyes.
The lobbyist of the King Xiang ran over in surprise and said, "My Lord, you finally woke up. That's great. I can finally explain to the King Xiang."
When Zhenbei Hou woke up, he didn't know where he was for a moment. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three days and three nights, so he felt a little weak. Cui Boyao quickly poured him a cup of hot tea.
She helped Zhenbei Hou up, took a sip of tea from his hand.
He looked around blankly: "Ahem, Qu Cheng, you are so brave..."
Qu Cheng continued to persuade him: "General, I am not brave, I just know how to judge the situation. King Xiang is a true wise ruler. He is righteous and benevolent, much better than the one in the capital..."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was so angry with him that he grabbed the teacup and smashed it at his feet.
Qu Cheng snorted coldly: "General, today you have no say. You have to agree whether you want to or not. The King of Xiang loves talents and is unwilling to snatch the tiger talisman by force. I am not that kind..."
The Marquis of Zhenbei snorted coldly: "Even if I give you the tiger talisman, what does it matter? The Zhenbei Army is not yours..."
Qu Cheng looked at the child in Liu Qiaoer's hand and said, "If this child is really the Marquis's grandson, then the other generals of the Zhenbei Army will certainly agree to my taking care of the child."
Zhenbei Hou looked bewildered: "Child, what child?"
At this moment, the child in Liu Qiaoer's arms actually started crying. The baby's cry was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the general's mansion.
Qu Cheng was about to snatch the child away, but Liu Qiaoer turned around and walked to the front of Zhenbei Hou and put the child in his hands.
"My Lord, you forgot that this is the child left behind by the young master. You were the one who asked us to find him, and we found him for you."
Zhenbei Hou looked at the child in his arms, surprised and happy...
Qu Cheng was about to grab the knife, but in a flash, Cui Boxiao turned around and kicked Qu Cheng away. He took two quick steps, snatched the knife from his hand, and put it to his neck. His move was clean and neat.
"Qu Cheng, you are so bold. What benefit did the King of Xiang give you? You actually betrayed the Zhenbei Army."
After Cui Boxiao finished speaking, he swiftly used the knife in his hand to cut the tendons in Qu Cheng's hands and feet.
At the same time, Liu Qiaoer also took action. She grabbed the lobbyist sent by King Xiang and slashed his neck with a knife.
"Although there is a rule in the court that envoys should not be executed, you are not an envoy. The King of Xiang has been driven out of the capital by the emperor and has become a dog without a home. Don't come to persuade him. The Marquis of Zhenbei will not do such a treasonous thing."
King Xiang's envoy was killed, Qu Cheng was captured, and Cui Boxiao brought him to the yard.
Qu Cheng's men in the yard were holding their bows, ready for battle.
Cui Boxiao snorted coldly: "You are the Zhenbei Army first, and his subordinates second. Now Qu Cheng has betrayed the court and plans to join the traitor King Xiang. If you also want to rebel, I don't mind arresting you together."
"If you have no intention of rebelling and are just being used by this fellow, put down your weapons and return to the Zhenbei Army."
Only a few of Qu Cheng's trusted subordinates knew what he was thinking. The rest of them had no idea what to do. They looked left and right, at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly, someone attacked Cui Boxiao.
Cui Boxiao used Qu Cheng as a shield, and then swiftly cut the other person's neck with a knife.
He attacked very quickly and his moves were so strange that no one could see clearly.
Then two more people attacked at the same time, one after the other.
At this time, Liu Qiaoer also rushed out of the house, and shot and killed one person with an arrow from her sleeve. The other one was also dealt with by Cui Boxiao.
There was a sudden commotion in the other courtyard. All the servants and boys rushed out and started fighting with Qu Cheng's men.
At this moment, Zhenbei Hou walked out of the house holding the child.
"stop."
As soon as Zhenbei Hou appeared, everyone fell silent.
The soldiers stood in a group, the servants stood in a group, and Zhenbei Hou's old butler Gui Shu also ran out from the crowd.
"My Lord, are you okay, My Lord..."
Mother Song, who was serving the Marquis of Zhenbei, also ran over and said, "My Lord, they said you were seriously ill and they wouldn't let me serve you. I was so worried that I was dying."
All the servants and maids in the house of Marquis Zhenbei came running over. There were only a few of them in total, and they were crying.
Suddenly, Mother Song saw the child in Zhenbei Hou's arms and was shocked: "Why does this child look exactly like the young master when he was a child?"
Now even Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer were surprised: It can’t be such a coincidence.
Liu Qiaoer: No wonder the old marquis was so surprised when he saw the child just now.
Cui Boxiao: Where are you from, kid
Liu Qiaoer: I picked it up on the road.
Cui Boxiao: It can’t really be the bloodline of Marquis Zhenbei.
Liu Qiaoer: There is a machine in the space, or we can do a DNA test.
Cui Boxiao: Yes.
The two of them exchanged glances without anyone seeing. Liu Qiaoer secretly cut off some of Zhenbei Hou's hair. In the space, she gave the two people's hair to Long Batian.
Let me try it out. If it is really such a coincidence, it means God is helping me.
Marquis Zhenbei handed the child over to Mother Song. Mother Song raised Marquis Zhenbei's son single-handedly. She looked left and right and felt that the child looked like the young master when he was a child.
I was so excited that tears came out.
The Marquis of Zhenbei only married one wife in his life, the daughter of a local wealthy businessman. She died of heavy bleeding during childbirth, leaving him only a son.
I raised my son with great difficulty, but he had a quarrel with a woman and ran away from home. He has not been seen for a year.
Marquis Zhenbei sent people to look for it, but couldn't find it.
Unexpectedly, two months ago, his son was found, but his body was dead.
Now that Cui Boxiao is holding the child and saying that he is his grandson, he doesn’t know how he feels.
The most precious thing, lost and found again, although it is not the original, it is better than having nothing.
In an instant, Marquis Zhenbei seemed to have the courage to live again. His son was gone and his grandson was so young. He wanted to live longer and raise his grandson well.
"Come here, put Qu Cheng in jail first, and the rest of you, go back to the camp. Tell them that the general will rest for two more days, and that'll be fine."
What this means is that his subordinates can also come to visit him.
