Han Xiang

Chapter 49 The Savior
"Did I hear it wrong? Is it the voice of a child?"

Chen shook her head and looked at Qiao Wan with disbelief. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

Qiao Wan was so excited that her eyes sparkled, she grabbed Chen's hand and nodded.

"It's the third brother's voice, he said that father is back."

"Let me take a look." Qiao Wei ran out first.

After a while, Qiao Wei and Qiao Ni returned to the courtyard.

Qiao Ni announced the good news with excitement on his face: "Mother, father has returned to Shouchun safely."

"What about the general?"

When Mrs. Chen heard the news, she suddenly felt much lighter.

Qiao Yi took a step forward and continued to report: "Father has to report to the court first, and he will go home later."

"well"

Chen lowered her head and wiped away her tears, then waved to Qiao Wei.

"Wei'er, hurry up and tell the kitchen that you need to prepare a bigger dinner. By the way, you should also prepare some fine wine. Let's clean up the general together."

"Go here, baby."

Qiao Wei cupped her hands lightly, turned around and arranged quickly.

Qiao Wan suddenly rolled her eyes, and asked Qiao Ni curiously: "Is this the letter from Guard Li? Why didn't you come with you?"

"No." Qiao Ni shook his head lightly, and added: "It was Yun Qi who got the news and sent Tang Yi here, and now he has returned to the south of the city."

"So that's how it is." Qiao Wan suddenly realized.

Chen covered her mouth and coughed lightly, expressing emotion from the bottom of her heart.

"This kid is not good at fighting, but he is good at tipping off the news, even faster than Li Tun."

Qiao Wan playfully explained: "Mother, Long Yunqi is now in the city defense force, so he is naturally close to the water. It is normal to know the news first."

"Second sister is right, mother, don't be prejudiced against Yun Qi, my son thinks he is very good, if he is with the army in this battle, maybe he can keep father safe from accidents"

Qiao Ni had contact with Long Xiang a few times, and felt that the other party's words were pleasant to hear and pleasing to the eye, so she couldn't help speaking for him.

"Long Yunqi is indeed capable, and you two brothers and sisters actually speak for him." Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This son is cautious and good at protecting himself. When I come down, I will persuade the general to bring him as much as possible when he goes out. Maybe it can turn bad luck into good luck.”

After Chen finished speaking, she turned and went back to her room to rest. Qiao Wan held her arm, turned her head and smiled leisurely at Qiao Nu, saying to herself that you regard Long Xiang as a lucky general?

Not long after, Li Tun also rushed to the door to announce the good news, but found that the master and servant of the Qiao Mansion were extremely calm. After asking, he found out that Tang Xi had already visited, which made him very embarrassed at the time.

After night fell, the bridgeman greeted Qiaorui at the gate of the mansion, but the guard accompanying him was not Li Tun.

Qiao Rui took the initiative to send out an invitation: "The family has prepared wine and food, come with me to eat something simple?"

Just when Qiao Yu was surprised that Qiao Rui was so polite, the other party actually refused firmly.

"The general has been out for a long time, I have to go back to Qubu to report, the general's kindness will not be appreciated." Luo Yicheng politely refused.

Qiao Rui nodded slightly, "Forget it, I'll go there tomorrow."

When Luo Yicheng was submerged in the darkness, Qiao Yi turned to Qiao Rui and asked incredulously, "Father, who is that man? Isn't it too much?"

"Yicheng is not trying to be a big brother, but to abide by discipline. He is a benefactor who saved his father's life."

Qiao Rui walked into the mansion after saying that, he never dreamed that he would come back alive.

Qiao Ni was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself that his father was captured alive by the enemy, what is so holy about this man?It is unbelievable to think about being able to save people in the midst of thousands of armies.

When the relatives met, the mother and daughter of the Qiao family cried for a while, then the husband and wife and children took their respective positions, and the waiters brought wine, meat and meals to clean up Qiao Rui.

After a while of pleasantries and crying, Chen took the lead in expressing his doubts.

"My concubine heard that the general was captured, did your majesty send someone to negotiate so soon? Or maybe Lu Bu took the initiative to let the general back for peace."

"Neither." Qiao Rui shook his head lightly.

"Then what?" Chen was even more puzzled.

Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan didn't know what to do, but Qiao Nu knew a little, but they all looked at Qiao Rui expectantly.

Qiao Rui stroked his beard and said, "I can come back safely this time, and I have to thank one person in the final analysis."

"Who?"

"Long Xiang, Long Yunqi."

"what?"

"what?"

Both Chen Shi and Qiao Wei were incredulous, while Qiao Wan and Qiao Ni looked at each other, both of them thought it was too inconceivable.

"Father, please tell me in detail. Isn't Long Xiang defending the city in Shouchun? How could he save it?"

Qiao Wan, who has the strongest thirst for knowledge, was the first to jump out and ask the bottom line.

Qiao Nu followed closely behind: "Yes, yes, it's incredible."

"This may be God's will. The matter has to start from last year."

Qiao Rui looked up to the sky and sighed, his thoughts slowly turned to Luo Yicheng's story.

Luo Yicheng was ordered to lurk in Xiapi and secretly collect information that was not good for Long Xiang, but after meeting Qiao Rui, he quickly changed his intention, saying that he was going to spy on the military situation.

Han Yin disappeared mysteriously last year. Luo Yiben wanted to return to Shouchun to return to life, but found many rangers when he went out of the city.

Luo Yicheng felt that the situation was wrong, so he returned to the city again.

This year Lu Bu and Yuan Shu turned against each other, and Yuan Shu sent people to Xiapi to spread rumors, saying that Chen Gong and Hao Meng were Yuan Shu's internal agents.

At that time, Hao Meng had gone out with the army, and Chen Gong stayed at Xiapi's house to pretend to be sick. The guard Gao Shun did not take immediate measures, but blocked the four gates of Xiapi and strengthened the security in the city. Luo Yicheng had no chance to leave if he wanted to.

In order to get out of the city, Luo Yicheng took the initiative to apply for a grain transporter, and he planned to wait for an opportunity to escape on the way.

On the way, the food supervisor was very strict, Luo Yicheng went to the front line in a daze, and accidentally learned that Qiao Rui had become a prisoner.

Qiao Rui took special care of Long Xiang's qubu, and it happened that the 'rebel' Hao Meng was in the rear.

At that time, Luo Yicheng took advantage of his tricks, found Hao Meng's tent at night, exaggerated the rumors in Xiapi City, and persuaded Hao Meng to rob Qiaorui and flee to Huainan.

After Hao Meng learned about the rumors, he felt bad because he really wanted to betray.

As long as the news from the rear reaches the front line, or Lu Bu's squadron returns to Xiapi, Hao Meng's end will come.

After careful consideration, Hao Meng adopted Luo Yicheng's suggestion.

Han Xian and Yang Feng turned against each other, but Zhang Xun couldn't react, and Hao Meng's rebellion caught Lu Bu by surprise.

Although Hao Meng was chased by Zhang Liao's troops, he managed to escape to the south bank of the Huai River, but the price he paid was not small. Only 800 of the [-] men in his unit arrived at the destination.

Qiao Rui's experience can be called a legend, and Chen and his sons and daughters heard it like a dream.

The eldest daughter, Qiao Wei, was the first to calm down, and she sighed thoughtfully: "Long Yunqi is indeed credited for this matter, but it just happened at the right time. The main reason is that Luo Yicheng can adapt to changes, and my father can reuse this person in the future."

"I don't think so."

Qiao Ni recalled what he saw in the mansion just now, and couldn't help expressing his opinion. When he saw that everyone was looking over in unison, he covered his mouth nervously.

"What do you mean, third brother?" Qiao Wan opened her eyes wide.

Mrs. Chen also frowned and asked: "Your son also has a different opinion?"

"Uh, my boy thinks that Luo Yicheng is Long Yunqi's soldier. Even if my father reuses him, should I ask his opinion?"

Before Qiaoni could finish speaking, she quickly lowered her head.

Chen said with a smile: "This is my son's words. Long Xiang is your father's soldier. Could it be possible to use Luo Yicheng again and get his consent?"
