After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

On the desolate road heading north, two figures were galloping on horseback.

The further north they went, the slower Xuanwu's horse went. He asked nonchalantly, "You've been hiding for a few years and not caring about anything. Why are you meddling in other people's affairs now?"

Cheng Songan had long been accustomed to his attitude and did not care. He replied, "After all, their marriage was caused by me. I still have to make these two enemies realize their true feelings. It doesn't matter if they are not on good terms. What if Lu Qingshan wavers and joins forces with Prince Jin?"

Five years ago, Lu Qingshan had listened to Cheng Songan's "obey orders but not proclamations", but when Cheng Songan escaped from the capital, he took advantage of the chaos of the Rongdi people, and those spies fell into the hands of the Ministry of War. Lu Qingshan was ordered to go to the northwest, fought a battle with the Rongdi people, and returned victorious. With this military achievement, Cui Yuanqing and King Xiang joined forces to betroth Duan Zhuyu to him.

In a rage, Lu Qingshan went to the northwest and did not return for four years. Duan Zhuyu in the capital made a big fuss in Prince Xiang's mansion and ran away from home frequently afterwards. Every time he was caught by the Princess of Xiang. The couple had been married for four years and had never seen each other again. Their relationship was even less harmonious than before marriage.

Xuanwu snorted, "It's been five years, and you just remembered it now. Don't you think it's too late?"

Cheng Songan was silent. Over the years, Cui Yuanqing had continuously sent people to various places to look for her whereabouts. In the past three years, he had mentioned resigning several times, but the sage did not allow it. So he took two months off every year and traveled all over the country to look for her in person. Xuanwu would always find out about his movements, and if they saw him heading south of the Yangtze River, they would deliberately hide.

But this time, Cheng Songan could not hide any longer. According to her memories from her previous life, the Rongdi would launch a massive invasion this year, and Ming Zhan was ambushed and killed in the Battle of the Black Water River. She had reminded him once five years ago, but so much time had passed, and she was not sure if Ming Zhan would still remember it.

The difference between this life and the previous life is that the military power of Prince Fu's in-laws and the Lu family army led by the rising Lu Qingshan are in a three-way balance of power with the Ming family army. Prince Fu's in-laws are the Queen's party, which means they now support Prince Jin. If Lu Qingshan also joins Prince Jin, the situation will be a little bad.

The emperor will pass away at the end of this year. Cheng Songan reminded Cui Yuanqing once before he left, but he was almost unconscious at the time and it is not known whether he heard clearly.

Seeing that she was silent, Xuanwu started to talk more: "If you had taken care of it earlier, maybe their child would be as old as Xiao Fengzheng."

When he mentioned the little kite, a warm smile actually appeared on his indifferent and world-weary face.

Cheng Songan said quietly, "Actually, I lied to you and asked you to come here not for them, but for your employer."

Xuanwu suddenly sat up straight. Over the years, the two of them had tacitly agreed not to mention each other's secrets, but he knew that with Cheng Songan's intelligence, although he didn't know his background, he must know where he came from.

Cheng Songan sneered: "Now that I know, you don't have to pretend not to know Ming Zhan when you meet him. You are not good at this, Master Xuanwu."

Before escaping, Xuanwu planned his route, and his first choice was to go northwest. Cheng Songan vaguely guessed it. Before Ming Zhan went to the northwest, he had a private conversation with Cui Yuanqing, in which he asked him to arrange for Xuanwu to be with Cheng Songan, and it was his mother Feng who passed by. Therefore, including Wang Changsheng from the Patrol Department, everyone treated Xuanwu with courtesy.

Cheng Songan had no way to repay Ming Zhan for his love for her. The only thing she could do was to protect his life and the honor of their Ming family in this lifetime.

Xuanwu rode on the horse, relaxed physically and mentally, with his head resting on his folded hands, and said lazily: "In this case, my contract is broken. After sending you to the northwest, I will be free."

"It's not easy for you to leave." Cheng Songan raised his eyebrows, "How can you give up if you haven't finished learning the Kung Fu of the Little Kite?"

Xuanwu put his hands down, a faint smile quietly appeared at the corners of his mouth, but his face was expressionless: "Miss, you are amazing, you gave birth to another young lady!"

……

"Lady Suzaku, are you sure you know the way? How long will it take? My butt is numb from sitting there."

Taxue rubbed his lower back and stuck his head out of the carriage, asking with dissatisfaction.

Zhuque didn't even turn his head and said coldly: "Why don't you come and drive?"

A delicate girl came out from beside Taxue and complained with a pouty mouth: "Master, my butt is numb too."

Zhuque looked unhappy, rolled his eyes at Taxue and said, "It's rude of you, but she has also learned to be vulgar from you."

He pulled the corner of his mouth and said to the girl, "Little kite, don't learn it recklessly."

Taxue curled her lips and said, "You are becoming more and more hypocritical now. In the past, you didn't care about vulgarity."

Little Feng Zheng stuck out her tongue and changed the subject, "Why are Mother and Master Xuanwu leaving in such a hurry? Why don't they take me with them on horseback? I don't like riding in a carriage."

Taxue straightened his face and said, "The girl and Xuanwu have important business, so we should hurry along. The further north we go, the more careful we should be in what we say and do. Little Fengzheng, don't cause trouble!"

The little kite's big eyes rolled around, and he smiled slyly: "As long as Master is here, I'm not afraid. Sister Taxue, why did you change when you came to the north? You turned into a coward!"

Taxue poked her puffy snowy cheeks and wanted to teach her a lesson, but seeing how cute she was, he just chuckled and said, "If Xiao Fengzheng is tired, let's take a rest in front."

……

"Master, I can come alone. Why do you have to follow me every time?"

"She's very cunning. You can't find her by yourself."

In a small shed on the side of the road, two men with wooden and somewhat ugly expressions only spoke two sentences after a long time.

Although one of them was wearing a coarse cloth gown, he had a dignified bearing and when he just sat there, people dared not approach him. The man opposite him was carrying a long sword, sitting upright, staring at the passers-by with his sharp eyes.

As soon as Xiao Fengzheng got off the carriage, she jumped into the tea stall by herself. She ignored Zhuque who was calling her from behind and was completely attracted by the long sword. She went straight to Cui Yuanqing and the others and looked at them with her head tilted.

Siwei was startled, and felt that the girl looked very familiar, so he couldn't help but tilt his head to look at her.

Little Feng Zheng laughed: "Uncle, your sword is so majestic, can I take a look?"

Her voice was as clear as pearls and she was not at all shy.

Siwei looked at his master beside him. Cui Yuanqing also seemed a little stunned. They were wearing human skin masks. Most children would think they were too ugly to look at them directly, but this little girl was laughing and didn't care at all.

Zhuque, dressed in men's clothing, followed from behind and gently pulled Xiao Fengzheng's braids: "You're still trying to ditch your master out there, aren't you? I'll tell your mother when I get home!"

Cui Yuanqing frowned, thinking that the man's voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Little Kite stuck out his tongue and said, "You guys are just walking slowly. I'm looking at this uncle's sword. Look, isn't it majestic?"

Seeing that she really liked it, Siwei unconsciously wanted to show it to her, so he slowly reached behind his back, trying to take the sword down.

But Zhuque quickly pulled the little kite behind him, drew the soft sword from his waist, and glared at Siwei, thinking that he was going to attack him.

Taxue was tying up his horse at the back. When he heard the noise from the tea shed, he hurried over and asked, "What's going on? Little Fengzheng, come to me!"

Cui Yuanqing stood up suddenly, shaking all over.

Seeing him like this, Taxue quickly pulled the small kite in his arms and secretly put his finger on the hidden arrow mechanism in his sleeve.

Little Feng Zheng wrinkled his nose and said, "Master, sister, these two uncles are kind enough to show me the sword, what are you doing?"

Cui Yuanqing's gaze fell on her jade-white face, and his heart felt as if there were thousands of troops experiencing a battle. This child's every frown and smile was very similar to the person he had been looking for for five years, especially the expression of wrinkling her nose, which was exactly the same as Cheng Songan's when he was a child.

He restrained himself, squatted down, looked at her at eye level and asked: "Little Fengzheng, how old are you? Where is your mother?"

Taxue was shocked, and he pulled the kite and ran: "Let's go, we don't want to drink tea here, there are people around."

When Little Kite heard this, he started running. He didn't run in a straight line, but instead ran as if he was avoiding a hidden weapon. His movements were very skillful, as if he had practiced them countless times.

"You still dare to run?" Cui Yuanqing moved, and landed lightly in front of them. He took off his human skin mask and snorted coldly: "Long time no see, Taxue."
