Ability Shuttle: Don't mess with the black boss

Chapter 43

As the day to face the Huangshi troops approached, Huangfuchu seldom showed up at the Commander's Mansion recently.

The current situation is turbulent, and the headlines in the daily newspapers are always reports of wars from various places. The whole city and even the Commander's Mansion are panic-stricken. The people in the neighborhood are afraid of the days of war, and they all shut their doors at home to reduce the time to go out. .

Li Haoyue recently learned new knowledge of history, and clamored to tell Huangfu Chu, but he hadn't seen him in person for several days.

The last time Chai Yuluo saw Huangfuchu was on the night of the sixth day, when she was about to change clothes and go to bed, she heard a knock on the door.When he opened the door, he found that it was Huangfuchu who came. He was wearing a tall and straight military uniform, and he seemed to have just returned from the army.

Chai Yuluo hesitated by the door for a moment, wondering if he should be invited in at this time.But Huangfu Chu didn't mind much, he just took out a box from his pocket, the shape was the same as the usual mahogany box.

He handed it to Chai Yuluo and said, "Miss Chai, please keep it for me until I return."

She was startled, took the box, but didn't know why: "Commander, this is...?"

Huangfu Chu said: "Although I don't have a deep relationship with Miss Chai, Huangfu is willing to trust her. During the period when I am not in the mansion, I also ask Miss Chai to help take care of everything."

Seeing him staring at her with piercing eyes, she finally lowered her head and whispered, "Okay, I wish the commander a triumphant return."

The next day was the seventh day of the lunar new year, and Huangfu Chu led his army into battle.The commander's mansion was as usual, or he had instructed him in advance that any matter that required Huangfuchu to make a decision in the past, the housekeeper would now come to Chai Yuluo for instructions.

She kept her promise and took care of everything in the commander's mansion meticulously.

As the days passed, according to reports from the front, the battle became more and more urgent.Over the past few days, Chai Yuluo has developed the habit of reading newspapers. According to the news today, Huangfuchu's army has forced Huangshi's troops to retreat again and again. It seems that within three days, Huangshi's troops will surrender.

Chai Yuluo was in a good mood, and as soon as she put down the newspaper, Li Haoyue came to her.

The aunt who was in charge of taking care of him on weekdays followed behind him, and when she saw Chai Yuluo, she bowed and said respectfully, "I met Miss Chai."

Li Haoyue pursed his mouth and yelled at her: "Go out, I want to whisper to Teacher Chai."

The aunt showed embarrassment, hesitated for a moment and retreated.

Chai Yuluo felt amused when he saw his serious appearance, and joked, "What do you want to tell me, young master?"

Li Haoyue pouted his mouth a little higher, and said dissatisfiedly: "When Commander's father returns home, I will let him arrest them all, and they will speak ill of Teacher Chai."

She was taken aback, and understood that the "they" he mentioned probably meant the servants in the mansion, so she asked him with a smile: "What are they talking about me?"

He seemed to be more angry than she herself, and said angrily: "I overheard, they said that Teacher Chai is a bad woman and wants to be the mistress of the commander's mansion."

She couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the words. After going through the birthday party, everyone's attitude towards her changed a bit.Now that Huangfu is in the first battle, after handing over the management of the mansion to her, it is even more inevitable that he will be bitten.

Chai Yuluo patted his head and smiled: "Do you still remember what the teacher told you before, don't care about other people's opinions, just do what you think is right?"

Li Haoyue thought about it carefully, then nodded with a vague understanding.

Chai Yuluo then changed the topic, and then asked: "What do you want to learn today, young master?"

Li Haoyue's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he asked her tentatively: "Mr. Chai, can I go and play with the children today?"

Since he went to the orphanage last time, he has been thinking about the little friends there.

Chai Yuluo looked at the time and agreed to take him there, but asked the housekeeper to arrange a driver and escort for safety.

In this way, he stayed in the orphanage for a full afternoon, and when it was almost dinner time, Chai Yuluo took Li Haoyue to say goodbye, and took the car back to the Commander's Mansion.

After having dinner with Li Haoyue, not long after returning to her room, the butler came forward to invite her with an anxious face.

Chai Yuluo opened the door and hurriedly asked, "Housekeeper Hu, what happened?"

Butler Hu didn't even have time to catch his breath, and hurriedly said: "Miss Chai, Adjutant Zhang brought a group of people into the mansion, saying that he wanted to take the young master away."

Chai Yuluo was startled, it was clearly intended to take Li Haoyue hostage while Huangfu Chu was not in Yancheng.After all, everyone in the world now knows that Li Haoyue is Huangfuchu's adopted son. If Huangfuchu wins and returns home, he can use this to blackmail him to achieve unknown goals. To make the princes' tricks.

Chai Yuluo was flustered, and after thinking for a while, he asked Butler Hu: "How many people did Adjutant Zhang bring?"

Butler Hu thought for a while, and replied: "About ten people, but they are all soldiers of the regular army."

She said: "Housekeeper Hu, you go to the main hall to hold them back first, don't let them take the young master away, I'll come right away."

Butler Hu responded and hurried to the main hall.

Chai Yuluo went back to the room and closed the door, paced back and forth and began to analyze the stakes.Suddenly, he saw the wooden box on the table, which was exactly what Huangfu gave her to keep when he came to look for him on the sixth night of the first lunar month.

For some reason, she suddenly found this wooden box very familiar. She stepped forward and opened it carefully, and saw that inside was the short pistol that Huangfu Chu gave her that day, but she did not accept it. letter.

Her heart was beating fast suddenly, and she took out the letter and opened it.A simple and clear sentence was written in a strong pen font: "General Ai Yuan is trustworthy."

Chai Yuluo filtered it in his mind, and found that there was indeed General Ai Yuan among the troops guarding Yancheng, and Huangfuchu must have foreseen the internal trouble from the very beginning, so he made a special move.

She hurriedly ordered someone to find an old servant in the mansion, and let him quietly go out through the back door to invite General Ai Yuan.On the other hand, he hid the pistol on his body, and immediately went to the main hall, holding off Adjutant Zhang as much as possible, and waiting for General Ai Yuan to come to support him.

The main hall was surrounded by soldiers in military uniform, all of them armed with rifles, completely surrounding the commander's mansion.Li Haoyue's crying sounded from inside the house, and as soon as Chai Yuluo entered, he saw Adjutant Zhang kicking Butler Hu to the ground, and dragged Li Haoyue to go outside.

She was anxious, but she had to put on a smile on her face, and said loudly: "What is Adjutant Zhang doing?"

The chubby Adjutant Zhang glanced at her, frowned with some dissatisfaction and said, "Where did you come from, you dare to meddle in my business, so get the hell out of here."
