Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 194 Treating brother’s parents as one’s own

He did not live in Prince Chen's Mansion, but in another mansion, which was rewarded by King Chen for his previous meritorious service. As for his meritorious service in Nantai during this period, he has not yet been rewarded.

Qin Jian also has his own mansion, but they don't have any family members. Even if they go back, it will be deserted, so they come to squeeze Lu Baichuan to spend time together.

However, it still doesn’t feel like the New Year.

Qin Jian couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He wanted to practice martial arts and found someone sitting on the roof drinking.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Baichuan?
Qin Jian suddenly became furious, flew up to the roof, and said angrily: "Are you desperate for your life? How many times has the doctor told you not to drink, why can't you remember?"

With that said, he reached out and snatched the wine from Lu Baichuan's hand.

In order to avoid Lu Baichuan from grabbing him, he deliberately hid behind himself.

"Not much."

Lu Baichuan was a little helpless. He still cherished his life. Knowing this was within the tolerance of his body.

"What do you think is wrong with you? It's been weird this time, and you haven't told me anything!"

Qin Jian felt angry when he talked about this. He had gone to Changzhou privately before, and his whole person had changed since he came back.

The methods were more ruthless than before, and the courage was much greater than before. He also overfulfilled the tasks assigned by King Chen.

If it were anyone else, Qin Jian would definitely think that this person didn't even want fame for fame and fortune, but he knew that Lu Baichuan was not such a person.

Although they also went there for fame and fortune, it was more for the sake of national justice. Moreover, they had been to Nantai for such a long time and brought back a lot of useful news. Even if there was no incident about the Prince of Nantai and Prince Liang, they would still be able to bear it when they came back. It's sealed, there's absolutely no need to risk your own life.

Lu Baichuan was so abnormal, there must be something hidden from him.

He just doesn't understand. They are brothers who have been through life and death. Is there anything that cannot be said?If you speak up, you might be able to help.

"It's nothing."

Lu Baichuan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

It's not that he doesn't trust Qin Jian, but that speaking out about this matter is equivalent to deceiving King Chen in the first place. When the matter spreads, he may be punished. If one less person knows, one less person will be implicated and punished.

"you!"

Qin Jian was so angry that he gasped through his mouth. If it weren't for the fact that his wrinkled face was so miserable, he would have really wanted to punch him.

"If you're a man, be more cheerful! Say it quickly!"

Qin Jian couldn't help but get angry, sat down on the back of the tile, and took a sip of the wine he had just snatched in annoyance.

This feeling of not dying is so annoying!

Lu Baichuan was even more helpless: "It has nothing to do with you, you don't need to get involved."

"Stop talking nonsense! Brother, am I afraid of trouble?"

Qin Jian raised his leg and kicked him, but Lu Baichuan easily dodged it and finally said, "Look for my family."

"You still have family?"

Qin Jian's eyes lit up, "Didn't I say that you were the only one in the family?"

"Licking blood on the knife edge, you may have offended many people, and you don't want to implicate them."

Lu Baichuan smiled to himself. If he had not taken the initiative and contacted them earlier, he would not have lost any news about them now.

"That's right. To work in our line of work, it's more suitable for a lonely person like me... But, your family is from Changzhou?"

He suddenly reacted and looked at Lu Baichuan in surprise. "No wonder, no wonder you are so anxious to go to Changzhou! If Changzhou is in such trouble, then your family..."

He didn't say anything else, as he understood clearly in his heart. No wonder Lu Baichuan did so many unbelievable things before. It turned out to be because he was worried about his family in Changzhou.

"Your Highness is not in Changzhou to provide disaster relief. Maybe there will be news about your family?"

"It's not as simple as you think. His Highness is going to provide disaster relief. All the people he contacts are officials. He won't have much contact with the people below. Even if he does, he won't go out of his way to ask for names."

He shook his head and had no hope for King Chen.

The most important thing is that his father left a message for him, and his family moved north to Anzhou. He wanted to go to Anzhou to see it in person, and then find it back along the way.

On a previous trip back in a hurry, I asked Wei Yu for help. The information he gave me was not very comprehensive. It was mainly to protect my family's information, so I might not be able to check it carefully. I still have to rely on myself in this matter.

"What are your plans? I'll go look for it with you."

Knowing the whole story, Qin Jian felt that he could not stay out of the matter.

The brother's family is his family. Anyway, he has been alone since he was a child, so it is not impossible for him to treat his brother's parents as his own.

"After the New Year, I will report the specific matters to His Highness, and then I will take a leave of absence for a period of time. I will go to Anzhou first and then look for him along the way."

When Lu Baichuan told him his plan, Qin Jian looked in disbelief: "What's the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack? Why don't you tell His Highness the matter and ask His Highness to send someone to help you find it."

"No need to bother, don't tell His Highness about this for now."

Qin Jian has been with King Chen since he was a child. He is dependent on King Chen and thinks of King Chen in everything.

But not Lu Baichuan. He came here halfway, and his relationship with King Chen is not particularly good. He just regards the other person as his master who needs to be loyal. As for relationships, he has never gotten along with each other very much and has almost no feelings.

There was no reason to trouble King Chen with his own family affairs, let alone after he had deceived him.

Everything King Chen does now is watched by people. If he really asks King Chen to help find someone, his opponents will definitely know about it, which will expose the Lu family even more. It is completely different from his previous thoughts and is not advisable.

"Then how long will it take for you to find yourself alone? Your Highness is short of people around you, so asking for leave is not a long-term solution."

Qin Jian felt more and more complicated, but he could also understand Lu Baichuan's desire to protect his family. Especially since he had a family, it was best to keep it hidden from King Chen.

No reason, just leave a way out for yourself.

For a person like him who is alone, it is okay to leave his life to King Chen, but Lu Baichuan has a family, which is his weakness. Whether it is the enemy or King Chen, they may use his family as a handle.

Defenses can not do without.

Precisely because he had been with Lu Baichuan for a long time, Qin Jian had more things to consider. As soon as Lu Baichuan refused, he figured out the cause and effect.

"Okay, I'll take leave with you."

Qin Jian spoke without thinking, but Lu Baichuan looked at him indifferently and asked: "You also know that His Highness is short of people. You and I are gone, what should His Highness do with the people?"

"..."

He really didn't think about this question.

This time they were able to come back because they had replaced a group of people from here. There was indeed a vacancy of talent around King Chen.

However, he was not at ease if Lu Baichuan was allowed to go alone!

Especially since his body has not fully recovered yet, how can he do it with no one around him?
