C200 (2/2)
Jin Xiaolou did not say the rest, she was only guessing, maybe the other party had already made a lot of money, and did not want all the things in the house?
Jin Xiaolou had many questions in her mind, but since it was related to Gui Qi, she would always be confused about it. She had a feeling that she had slowly walked into someone else's carefully woven web. She could even faintly sense who the person who made the web was. However, she did not know when the Hunter would retract the web, nor did she know about the osmanthus branch … Was he also a prey in the net, or was he one of the weavers …
No matter which type, it was hard for Jin Xiaolou to accept.
”Lv Yun.” Jin Xiaolou raised her face and faced the small half of the sunlight, ”Send more people to investigate Tan Changsheng's family's whereabouts and the group of people Gui Qi said to keep her in check. Also, keep an eye on Prince Xian, and inform me of any minute movements at all.”
”Alright.” Lv Yun nodded, ”The shopkeeper, that Gui Zhi … Do I have to be watched? ”
”No need.” Jin Xiaolou did not hesitate at all, ”No matter what happens, no matter what she remembers, no matter what reason she agrees to stay in Rainbow Garden, Gui Zhi will always be our Gui Qi.”
Gao Lang, Hu Shan and Shan Ying's group headed north, and wherever they went, all the rebels would surrender one after another. When they arrived at the outskirts of the capital, they had already gathered thirty thousand troops, forming a large field.
In order to not attract attention, they had gone to the wilderness, and had set up camp in a valley ten miles away from the capital.
It was already late autumn, and the entire valley was dyed with the color of the forest. It was a unique sight to behold. Hu Shan, Shan Ying and Feng Luanjun each led three huge armies of over ten thousand people and trained nonstop for a day. The originally undisciplined bandits were now training consecutively. The sword dance had long become a well-disciplined and well-trained army.
Even if Gao Lang missed Jin Xiaolou a lot, at such a critical juncture, he could not rashly enter the capital to alert the enemy. He could only send Chang An back to the Rainbow Garden to check on the situation at the small pavilion.
Seeing that Chang An was so happy that he returned, Nan Yang quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare a whole table of dishes. However, Chang An was not in a rush to eat, and only passed the letter that was in his pocket to Jin Xiaolou.
”Madam, Seventh Elder ordered me to take this with me.”
Jin Xiaolou seemed to be a girl who had just had her first love. Having received a letter from her lover in front of so many people, even her ears had turned red.
Lin'er and Nian Er let go of Chang An's hand and quickly followed behind their mother. Nian Er walked crookedly behind Lin'er and shouted out loud: ”We want to see father's letter!”
Jin Xiaolou could only sit by the side of the bed, while carrying the two children on her lap. She unfolded the letter, and before she could clearly read the words, Lin'er had already read them out loud, ”My dear wife, your husband really misses you …”
Nian Er was still unable to read, but he saw a portrait of two small people hugging and kissing at the bottom of the words. He chuckled and said, ”Mother … Daddy … Mouth... Mouth to mouth! ”
Jin Xiaolou stuck out her tongue, then immediately folded the letter and placed it inside her sleeves, so that the children would not see the contents of the letter.
However, Nian Er still refused to let it go. He shook his arms and threw himself into Jin Xiaolou's embrace, his mouth pouting like a tender white bun.
Lifting his head, he wanted to imitate the image on the painting and kiss Jin Xiaolou.
Helpless, Jin Xiaolou bit down on Nian Er and kissed the Lin'er, coaxing the two children out with great difficulty. Just as she heaved a sigh of relief and was about to continue reading the letter, there was a knock on the door.
Jin Xiaolou opened the door, revealing a smiling Gui Qu outside.
While entering the house, she picked up her jacket and compared it to Jin Xiaolou: ”The weather is cold, I made an jacket for you. Quickly, take off your clothes and try it out, if it's not suitable, I will have to take advantage of the autumn rain to fix it!”
In these past few days, Gui Zhi never remembered what happened in the past. Just recalling it caused her to have a headache, but she grew happier by the day. Although she forgot the past, she was still closer to Jin Xiaolou.
Thus, Jin Xiaolou stopped using all her strength to help Gui Zhi to recall his memories. After all, the past was mostly unhappy, being able to forget about it and live a happy life with someone that she was close to was the result that Jin Xiaolou wanted to see the most.
Jin Xiaolou obediently took off her clothes and extended her hand out to put on the robe that was handed to him by Gui Zhi.
Gui Zhi looked around the house for a few times, measuring and calculating here and there, and then when he was completely satisfied, he placed Jin Xiaolou down on the table and said, ”You sit down first, I'll go get the flowers. Choose one, I'll make a set for the two children.”
After Gui Zhi said this, he held the dirty clothes that Jin Xiaolou just changed into, and turned to leave.
