Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

On the way home, Chen Lang was thinking about how to explain to Li Xiuzhi that he was about to go on a diplomatic mission to the Liao Kingdom.

If it is simply to send the princess to marry, there is no problem, just treat it as a public-funded tour.

But the emperor wanted to save face, so he had to take it back the same way he gave it away.

Usually, there is only one way to do this.

He took an army of 100,000 and used "physical" methods to force the Liao Kingdom to agree.

But the problem is that even if Chen Lang really has another 100,000 troops, the Liao Kingdom may not agree. It is more likely that they will fall out on the spot, kill Chen Lang, and then fight a war with Dayan.

How can this emperor be like a prostitute in a brothel? He wants to be a whore and yet build a memorial arch for himself.

He wants both the inside and the outside, but he doesn't care about the life or death of his subordinates.

Chen Lang returned home with a lot of resentment and found that his yard was full of people.

Even Sun Yuwei and Chen Tao who worked in the winery, and Li Xiuzhi's current right-hand man Rouer were there.

Xu Mengru was the first to see Chen Lang. She immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, congratulations."

If Chen Lang didn't know that Xu Mengru knew nothing, he would definitely take this sentence as a mockery.

You're almost dead, and you're still congratulating me?

Immediately afterwards, others also began to congratulate.

Chen Lang was completely stunned.

Where does joy come from?

In the end, it was the good daughter Guoguo who gave Chen Lang the answer.

Guoguo ran to Chen Lang and, like a kitten, grabbed Chen Lang's trouser legs and climbed onto him.

Chen Lang quickly picked up his daughter. If Guoguo continued to pull like this, her pants would fall off.

Guoguo giggled at Chen Lang, her eyes narrowed into crescents.

Chen Lang said, "My dear girl, what are you so happy about?"

Guoguo said: "Mom is going to give birth to a little brother for Guoguo!"

Chen Lang's expression froze instantly. He slowly looked at Li Xiuzhi and said, "Xiuzhi, is it true?"

Li Xiuzhi wiped her tears, smiled and nodded: "Yes, Erlang, I am pregnant."

Chen Lang felt mixed emotions.

Li Xiuzhi panicked when she saw Chen Lang's expression and asked hurriedly, "Erlang, are you unhappy?"

Chen Lang put Guoguo down, walked over to Li Xiuzhi, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Xiuzhi, I'm very happy, very happy."

"Then why do you..." Li Xiuzhi said.

Chen Lang sighed softly: "I don't know what to say...Xiuzhi, I don't know what to say..."

Seeing this, Xu Mengru also stepped forward and asked, "Master Chen, is there something wrong with Guhong Tower?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "No."

Li Xiuzhi was so anxious that she was about to cry. She said, "Erlang, what's wrong? Don't scare me."

Sun Yuwei also echoed: "Yes, Erlang, if you have any difficulties, tell us and we can help you with some advice."

Chen Tao slapped his chest loudly and said, "Don't be afraid, little rascal. I'll beat up anyone who bullies you!"

Chen Lang pulled Li Xiuzhi to sit down, and then gestured to others to sit down as well.

"Xiuzhi, I have received an imperial decree to go on a diplomatic mission to the Liao Kingdom."

Li Xiuzhi was astonished: "A mission to Liao?"

"How is this possible? Missions like this should be handled by officials. Why choose you?"

Chen Lang explained: "According to Lord Zhu's explanation, it's because of the Man Jiang Hong."

"The humiliation of Longwu has not yet been avenged... Your Majesty is asking me to personally go to the Liao Kingdom to avenge this humiliation."

Li Xiuzhi's pretty face flushed with anger. "The Emperor is going too far. He sent a scholar like you to the Liao Kingdom just because of a poem."

"What if something happens... How are we going to survive, Guoguo, and this baby in my belly?"

Xu Mengru frowned and said, "Master Chen, there must be a purpose for your mission to the Liao Kingdom, right?"

"And the Emperor wants you to go to Liao to avenge the humiliation. What kind of mission would be considered a revenge?"

Chen Lang said: "The princess is getting married."

Xu Mengru was even more puzzled: "Sending the princess to marry? How can this be considered avenging a shame? Isn't this just inviting humiliation?"

Chen Lang explained: "Send it out, and then take it back intact."

Xu Mengru was dumbfounded and said, "How is this possible, unless the Liao prince who is being married off is a eunuch."

"Furthermore, this behavior is a blatant humiliation to the Liao Kingdom. How could the Liao royal family allow such a thing to happen?"

Chen Lang said, "To let the Liao Kingdom suffer this humiliation is to avenge the shame."

Xu Mengru said, "This is simply impossible. The emperor is asking you to die."

When Li Xiuzhi heard the words "sending herself to death", she could no longer bear it and fainted.

Sun Yuwei immediately ran out to find a doctor, while Chen Lang carried Li Xiuzhi to the bed.

Guoguo squatted beside the bed with tears in her eyes, holding Li Xiuzhi's hand and said, "Daddy, what happened to Mommy?"

She was young and didn't know what a marriage alliance meant, nor did she understand what a diplomatic mission meant. She only knew that her mother had fainted.

Chen Lang comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Guoguo. Mom is just too tired and fell asleep."

Not long after, the doctor came and after a series of examinations, confirmed that Li Xiuzhi was fine and there was nothing wrong with the baby in her belly.

Fainting is simply due to intense emotions.

"Sir, during your wife's pregnancy, try to keep her mentally calm. Being too emotional or too depressed will not be good for the fetus in her womb." The doctor handed the prescription to Chen Lang and reminded him.

Chen Lang said, "Thank you, doctor."

"Xiao Qi, send the doctor out for me."

The doctor said, "You're welcome."

At this time, Li Xiuzhi on the bed slowly opened her eyes. After seeing Chen Lang, tears couldn't stop flowing out.

Chen Lang hurried over, wiped her tears, and said, "Xiuzhi, the doctor said you have to stay calm."

Li Xiuzhi held Chen Lang's hand and choked up, "Erlang, I don't want you to leave."

Chen Lang said: "If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Then let's run away. There's always a place for us to stay, no matter where we are."

Chen Lang sighed, "General Pei told me that if I escape, everyone connected to me will die."

"He will also personally lead his troops to capture our family and execute them once we are captured."

Li Xiuzhi burst into tears and asked, "Why is this happening?"

"Why did the emperor set his sights on you?"

Chen Lang sat at the head of the bed, held Li Xiuzhi in his arms, and said, "Xiuzhi, don't cry."

"For the sake of the baby in your belly and for Guoguo, you have to be strong."

"I will come back, even if I have to crawl, I will crawl back from the grassland."

Li Xiuzhi buried her head in Chen Lang's chest and burst into tears.

Chen Lang's eyes were also a little moist, but he held on and did not let the tears fall.

After Li Xiuzhi was tired of crying, she fell asleep again.

Chen Lang covered her with a blanket and tiptoed out of the house.

Xu Mengru and others did not leave either, and were waiting in the yard.

But everyone's face was very heavy.

Chen Lang pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, and said, "Okay, everyone, relax a little, it's not like I won't be back."

Xu Mengru asked, "Master Chen, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"

Chen Lang said, "The emperor's personal decree cannot be changed."

"Miss Xu, Brother Sun, after I'm gone, I'd like to ask you to take good care of my Xiuzhi."

"I, Chen Lang, swear to heaven that I will come back."
