Zhong Xiaoai gave me a fourth child, and it has nothing to do with you, Hou Liangping.

"If you put out the ram-horn soldiers, you won't be afraid of the Malay generals."

"It is difficult for a horse and a pawn to defeat a soldier."

Commander Lei gathered his thoughts a little and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Hey, good boy, keep playing chess!"

Qi Tongwei smiled knowingly.

"Commander, you better be steady. I'm going to start a killing spree!"

"Cannons entering the cold and desolate place can hardly cause any storms."

"One can't make a sound alone."

"General, hey, commander, you lose!"

Commander Lei was stunned, staring at the chessboard.

He laughed almost ecstatically.

"Oh my, not bad, not bad. With your chess skills, you are good enough to be my son-in-law!"

"Hehe, while you and Xiao Yunyun are still young and both sides have no objections, just do what needs to be done!"

"Commander, I..." Qi Tongwei was speechless.

Commander Lei raised his hand and said, "Hey, stop calling me Chief, Chief. It's time to change your tone!"

Qi Tongwei's expression was slightly solemn, and he smiled happily.

"Uncle, forgive me for asking, have you heard that the general, the old man Zhao Mengsheng, has a son?"

Obvious.

The reason why Qi Tongwei asked this was simply to confirm further.

His "father-son" relationship with Zhao Mengsheng.

You can’t work so hard for all this time and end up being in vain, becoming the “emperor’s new father”!

Commander Lei's expression also froze and he took a deep breath.

"Hey, your question hits the nail on the head!"

"I also have doubts..."

"After all, you and Zhao Mengsheng were exactly the same when you were young!"

"So much so that when I first saw you, I mistakenly thought that it was Mengsheng who came to see me~"

"Look at me, an old and confused man, who has settled down in the imperial capital!"

"Regarding his son... He mentioned it before. He died during a special mission because his wife had just given birth."

"In order to ensure the successful completion of the mission, we had no choice but to abandon the baby in a certain administrative village under the jurisdiction of Luzhou City, Handong Province..."

"When he finished his mission and returned there to look for his youngest son, he was gone."

"We have been searching the nearby villages for so many years, but there is still no news."

"I don't know whether his son was taken away by a wolf or trampled by a wild beast!"

"Alas, it is a tragic thing."

"However, Tongwei, I completely see the shadow of Zhao Mengsheng in you."

"Your background...was it something like being adopted or found?"

originally.

With the evidence from General Lei, it is sufficient to confirm it.

Qi Tongwei is the son of General Zhao Mengsheng!

However, Qi Tongwei, who has lived two lives...

Although the mystery of his life experience has been almost solved.

But he felt more cautious.

Not until the critical moment, or when it is absolutely necessary.

Regarding his true identity as the son of Zhao Mengsheng...

Still keep it confidential.

Qi Tongwei made up his mind and smiled with relief, "Uncle, I am just a poor child from a remote village."

"Before, I was admitted to Handong University. Later, considering that I was a country kid with no family background...

After graduating from university, I gave up my qualification for postgraduate study and chose to join the army! "

Commander Lei was more or less a little disappointed.

What he expected was that Qi Tongwei and Zhao Mengsheng would have a "father-son" relationship.

"Okay, come on, Tongwei, continue playing chess!"

Ever since.

Qi Tongwei continued playing chess with Commander Lei.

He thought to himself, Uncle, I'm sorry!

I cannot tell the truth for now, and I cannot recognize my biological father Zhao Mengsheng...

After all, I still have a very long way to go in the future!

At present, he is staying in the army, focusing on improving his skills.

As for the others, if they really wanted to use the relationship between Zhao Mengsheng and Commander Lei...

Even the relationship with my grandmother, "Lady" Wu Shuang.

I'm afraid that Qi Tongwei will be transferred to the local government and mingle in the officialdom of Handong Province...

imperial capital.

Diyuan Mansion·Siheyuan.

living room.

Sit upright in the main seat.

An old woman with gray hair.

Although weathered, the traces of time have left their mark on her face.

But she still has the majesty of Empress Dowager Cixi.

There is a kind of powerful aura that is intimidating without being angry.

In other words, it is a noble and elegant "lady" aura.

Zhao Mengsheng sat at the tea table nearby, making tea and glancing at the "lady" from time to time.

Wait for him to make a cup of fine nourishing ginseng tea.

Served it to the "lady" filially and respectfully.

"Mom, the ginseng tea is ready. Drink some while it's hot."

"You've been feeling a little weak lately. You need to take some supplements!"

"Lady" Wu Shuang took the ginseng tea and took a sip.

She sighed slightly.

"Mengsheng, after all these years, don't you know what's bothering your mother?"

“Is there really no hope regarding the whereabouts of my little grandson?”

"If I can't find my little grandson, I, an old man, will die with my eyes wide open, Mengsheng!"

Zhao Mengsheng frowned slightly, but still spoke respectfully.

"Mom, forgive me for being unfilial, but so many years have passed, and I have sent people to investigate and search for her time and time again!"

"But, up to now, there is still no news."

"The objective fact is... because of a special mission, I and the child's mother abandoned the baby in a deserted village."

"Even in such an emergency, the child didn't even have a name..."

"I have dug deep into the ground in that deserted village for miles around, but I still can't find any information about my youngest son!"

"Lady," Wu Shuang sighed again, "Oh, my dear grandson, he was abandoned in his infancy!"

"Mengsheng, don't give up hope. Send more people to investigate and search."

"Even if it was really taken away by a wolf, we need to get confirmation from nearby villagers."

Zhao Mengsheng said "eh" and bowed slightly.

"Mom, I know!"

"You are not well, so don't worry about it."

"I will continue to send people to investigate!"

"Lady" Wu Shuang took another sip of ginseng tea and coughed twice.

"Yes, go find it!"

"We, the Zhao family, have devoted our lives to the country until our death. I believe that God will not be so cruel!"

"My little grandson will surely be blessed with good fortune. Who knows, he might be living a safe and healthy life in some wealthy family!"

There was a pause.

"Madam," Wu Shuang asked further.

"By the way, I haven't contacted Commander Lei for some years. I wonder how he and his wife are doing?"

Zhao Mengsheng immediately comforted Wu Shuang, "Mom, Commander Lei and the old lady are both fine!"

"I have asked someone to visit!"

"They are currently in Jingling City, Southeast Province, living in an old garden-style house. The environment is beautiful and suitable for retirement and longevity!"

“Madam,” Wu Shuang nodded, “That’s good!”

"Speaking of which, this Commander Lei is our benefactor. If he hadn't insisted on letting you go to the front line, you wouldn't have grown so fast!"

"Of course, Sanxi saved you at the cost of himself, and this favor is something I will never forget."

"I don't know what happened to Yuxiu and that child back then."

Zhao Mengsheng sighed slightly, "On the contrary, we have lost contact with Sanxi's wife, Han Yuxiu, and the child, and we don't know what's going on with them!"

"Madam," Wu Shuang said solemnly.

"Mengsheng, that won't do. Sanxi risked his life to save you. We want to repay his kindness. You should also pay attention and send someone to find out the whereabouts of Yuxiu and the others!"

Zhao Mengsheng sighed and nodded, "Yes, Mom, I have been looking for it..."
