My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

256. Jinxuan returns and the couple is loving

Gu Jinxuan, who was far away in the military camp, received the urgent message, frowned, thought for a moment, and then made a detailed battle plan.

He divided the 300 soldiers into three teams. The first team, led by Wen Wen, attracted the herdsmen's attention from the front and pretended to attack. The second team, led by Wen Su, went around to the back of the valley and cut off the herdsmen's retreat. He himself led the third team and launched a surprise attack from a secret path on the side of the valley, directly attacking the herdsmen's core camp.

After writing down his plan, Gu Jinxuan had it delivered to Wenwen, asking her to act according to his plan.

When Wen Wen received Gu Jinxuan's letter and the battle began, he led the first team to launch the attack. For a while, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The herdsmen rushed out of their tents and rushed towards the enemy in front. Just as they were fighting fiercely with the first squad,

The second team quietly appeared at the back of the valley, quickly dealt with the herdsmen guarding there, and lit the pre-prepared fireworks signal.

After seeing the signal, the third team took the lead and advanced quickly along the secret path.

They were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the core camp of the herdsmen. The herdsmen did not expect to be attacked from the side, and their formation was immediately thrown into chaos.

The battle in the valley was extremely fierce, with the roar of firearms, the shouts of soldiers, and the screams of herdsmen intertwined together.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the herdsmen gradually could not hold out and began to flee in all directions.

But Gu Jinxuan did not give them a chance and ordered his soldiers to pursue the victory and make sure to capture all the herdsmen in one fell swoop.

In the end, the battle ended with Gu Jinxuan's side winning a great victory.

They successfully destroyed the important strongholds of the herdsmen, eliminated a large number of enemies, and seized many cattle, sheep and supplies.

When Wen Wen saw the valley destroyed, he knew that Gu Jinxuan had finally gotten rid of the anger in his heart, and their mission was accomplished.

"Brothers, we won!" Wen Wen shouted loudly while standing in front of the crowd.

"We win, we win," the soldiers cheered, their voices echoing throughout the grassland.

"Brothers, clean up the battlefield, then withdraw the troops back to the barracks and wait for the master to reward us," Wen Wen shouted, and three hundred elite soldiers began to search for corpses.

The reason why elite soldiers are elite soldiers is because their combat power is much higher than that of others, and Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoqi happen to be two of the three hundred elite soldiers.

None of the 300 people killed by the temperature were killed, only some were slightly injured or seriously injured. Lin Xiaoshan was slightly injured, and Lin Xiaoqi was not injured. All the dead were herdsmen.

They piled the bodies of the herdsmen in a large pit they had just dug, covered it with yellow mud, and then Wen Ze led the people to evacuate and rush towards the military camp.

At the entrance of the military camp, Gu Jinxuan stood at the gate waiting for Wen Ge's triumphant return. He did not have the ability to predict the future, but he believed in the soldiers under his command.

In the south city, Gu Jinxuan dealt with the rebellious herdsmen, and the other herdsmen became obedient.

You have to be honest! No one wants to die when they are alive and well.

The chaos in Nancheng was quelled by Gu Jinxuan. He wrote a memorial and ordered Wenfan to send it to the imperial palace, asking for the emperor's next order.

Before the next order arrived, Gu Jinxuan carried out a major replacement of the troops stationed in the south city. Those who had starved were beheaded, and those who had oppressed the people were beheaded.

Dozens of headless corpses appeared at the execution ground in South City, making him more famous in South City and notorious.

Not only the herdsmen outside South City, but even the people in South City were terrified of him.

Fortunately, the emperor's edict soon arrived from the imperial city, ordering Gu Jinxuan to return to the imperial city to report. The government affairs of South City were returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and the garrison was still returned to the general guarding South City.

Gu Jinxuan brought the people he brought from the imperial city, rode on horseback, and galloped towards the South City, where the person he had been thinking about day and night was, and everything he cared about was there.

In the imperial city, time flew by. When the news came that Gu Jinxuan had killed the rebellious herdsmen, Lin Qingxue knew that he was coming back.

At some point, it started snowing in the imperial city. In just two days, the imperial city was covered with heavy snow and the roads were frozen. The business of the food restaurant was booming again, and the business of milk tea and grilled fish was also very prosperous.

As the end of the year was approaching, Lin Qingxue was busy with the etiquette in the mansion and had little time to take care of the twins, so she sent the two children to Dongyang Garden to be taken care of by Princess Anyang.

Princess Anyang is very happy to have grandchildren around her. She is very free now and has plenty of time to play with the children.

On the morning of the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Qingxue washed up, put on her cloak and went to Dongyang Garden to have breakfast with Princess Anyang and the twins.

Ever since the twins moved to Dongyang Garden, Lin Qingxue often came to have dinner with Princess Anyang and the children, and everyone else in the mansion had gotten used to it.

After breakfast, Lin Qingxue brought her maid back to Xuanxueyuan to handle official business in the mansion. Since she had dealt with a group of maids and stewards, everyone's work attitude has become much more rigorous.

Back in the study, Lin Qingxue began to deal with the pile of account books. At the end of the year, all the account books were sent to her.

Fortunately, she cleared out a group of people in the middle, and the account books sent over this time were very formal.

After looking at the account book, it was time to receive the steward and the maids, and reward those who deserved it and punish those who deserved it.

Then, when it came to exchanging annual gifts with other dignitaries in the imperial city and families and people who were friendly with the Gu family, Lin Qingxue followed the old rules.

By the time she finished her work, it was already the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At noon on the 20th, after Lin Qingxue finished her lunch, she looked at the shop account books and dividends sent by the Lin family. Feeling a little tired, she went back to her room for a nap.

She was sleeping comfortably on the bed when she suddenly felt someone caressing her face gently.

Lin Qingxue was suddenly startled. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jinxuan. She thought she was dreaming.

When she opened her eyes again, Gu Jinxuan was still there, still doing the same thing as before. She couldn't help herself any longer and threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly with tears in her eyes.

It turned out that when they were coming back, Gu Jinxuan was dissatisfied with the slow pace of the main group, so he left Wen Su to lead the others on their journey, and he himself took Wen Su and rode back to the imperial city at full speed.

Although he was exhausted from the journey, Gu Jinxuan's heart was filled with joy at meeting Lin Qingxue, and he did not feel tired at all.

Before entering the city gate, you can see the silver-covered ground all the way, with snowflakes fluttering down. The familiar scenery has a unique charm in the snow curtain.

He went straight to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, dismounted at the gate, and strode towards Xuanxue Garden.

He thought he could see the person he had been thinking about for the first time, but unexpectedly he learned that Lin Qingxue was taking a lunch break. Gu Jinxuan had to suppress his longing for her and asked the servants to prepare water.

After washing up, Gu Jinxuan was once again the handsome and elegant Prince of the Protectorate. He cut through the servants and entered the room. Seeing the familiar sleeping face, he could no longer contain his excitement and gently stroked the face that was deeply imprinted in his mind.

However, Gu Jinxuan did not expect that no matter how light his movements were, he still woke up the sleeping Lin Qingxue.

"Jinxuan, you are finally back. I missed you so much," Lin Qingxue said in a low voice. Except for the time when the second batch of food was delivered, they had not seen each other for nearly half a year.

When they are not together, they can restrain their longing for each other by being busy, but after meeting each other in person, they can no longer suppress their longing for and love for each other.

It was unclear who started the fight first. Clothes were scattered on the floor, and the bed was shaking, making a creaking sound.

The two of them were so immersed in the fight between the fairies that they had no time to care about anything else. After an unknown amount of time, the intense breathing gradually subsided.

Gu Jinxuan held Lin Qingxue tightly in his arms, gently combing her sweaty hair with his fingers, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

"The situation in South City has calmed down. I don't know how long you can stay at home this time," Lin Qingxue snuggled in Gu Jinxuan's arms, her voice a little hoarse.

"I won't leave easily this time," Gu Jinxuan said in a low voice, with a bit of fatigue and nostalgia. His lips fell on Lin Qingxue's smooth forehead and stayed there for a long time.

Lin Qingxue's cheeks flushed, and her eyes were filled with tenderness nourished by love. Her fingers unconsciously drew circles on Gu Jinxuan's chest: "Are you serious? No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to leave me alone."

Her voice was soft and a little coquettish as she expressed the grievances she had accumulated over the past few days. It wasn't that she had no feelings for Gu Jinxuan because he had been away for so long, but she knew what was important.

"I'll take you wherever I go from now on," Gu Jinxuan said softly, gently stroking Lin Qingxue's shoulder.

"It's only been a short time since I received your letter saying you would be back. How come you're here so soon?" Lin Qingxue said, feeling a little sad in her heart. She had no idea how fast this person was traveling.

"The main force is behind us. Wen Du and I returned ahead. By the way, Qingxue, I want to tell you something. The 300 elite soldiers I brought with me this time performed very well. Xiao Shan and Xiao Qi killed a lot of enemies. The emperor uncle will probably give them a promotion for the sake of me and the fourth princess. It won't be long before they are deputy lieutenants of the fifth or sixth rank."

Gu Jinxuan's tone was full of admiration for the brothers Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoqi. Not to mention that the two were his nephews, just based on their abilities and merits, they were worthy of being deputy captains.

"Are they that powerful?" Lin Qingxue asked with a smile.

"Of course," Gu Jinxuan said firmly.

The couple chatted sweetly for a while, then called for a servant to bring in some water for washing. After washing and changing their clothes, they went to Dongyang Garden to pay their respects to Princess Anyang.

The dinner in the evening was undoubtedly eaten at Dongyang Garden, and the family had a real reunion dinner.

Just as Gu Jinxuan expected, the twins, a boy and a girl, really didn't recognize him when they saw him. Fortunately, they listened to Lin Qingxue and knew that this was their father, so they were not opposed to Gu Jinxuan.

The next day after returning to the mansion, Gu Jinxuan went to the palace to report to the emperor. His status was already very high, and since the Duke of Protectorate had not abdicated yet, he could not be promoted. The emperor could only reward him with some material things.

As the Firearms Bureau and the Granary made achievements, Gu Jinyu and the Lin family also came into the eyes of the powerful people in the imperial city. For the first time, they realized that in addition to being the second master of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, Gu Jinyu's own abilities were not inferior to Gu Jinxuan.

As for the Lin family, there is no need to mention it. The fifth master of the Lin family is the prince consort of the emperor. The fourth generation of the Lin family, the brothers Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoqi, have become sixth-rank military generals and have a bright future.

The fourth princess gave birth to a son at the end of the year. Not only did Lin Qingxue and her three sisters-in-law attend her during the birthing period, but they also visited her frequently during the confinement period and sent her all kinds of supplements like water.

Mrs. Lin and Aunt Lin moved directly into the rooms in the academy to help the fourth princess with her confinement and take care of the child.

Before the large army arrived at the imperial city, Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue spent a few sweet days together. When the large army returned to the imperial city, it was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, just two days before the Chinese New Year.

Gu Jinxuan led a large army to receive the imperial edict on rewarding soldiers according to their merits, and returned the three hundred elite soldiers to the barracks. He then took Wen Wen and Wen Su back to the mansion.

As for Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoqi, they naturally returned to the Lin Mansion to celebrate the New Year. The two brothers did not belong to the military camp, and were conferred the title of sixth-rank military generals. Although they did not have a mansion, they could go home and live.

At the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, after Gu Jinxuan returned with the emperor's reward, he gave all the things to Lin Qingxue and went to Dongyang Garden to bring back the twins.

At Xuanxue Garden, Lin Qingxue finished her account book and sat in the hall drinking tea when she saw Gu Jinxuan bringing the twins, a boy and a girl, back from Dongyang Garden, one in each of his arms.

"Mom, Xiaoqi/Xiaoba miss you so much," the twins rushed towards Lin Qingxue as soon as they were off the ground.

"Mom misses you too," Lin Qingxue said with a smile as she looked at the twins standing at her feet.

"Xiaoqi has to sleep with mom at night. I haven't slept with mom for a long time." Xiaoqi is the older brother of the twins. The twins have always been close to Lin Qingxue and are very obedient.

"Xiao Ba also wants to sleep with mother. Xiao Ba doesn't want to sleep alone." Xiao Ba is the younger sister, but she is braver than Xiao Qi and more lively. She has a bad temper because she is spoiled by the Duke of Protectorate, but she dare not act naughty in front of Lin Qingxue.

On weekdays, with the Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang protecting them, Lin Qingxue didn't dare to discipline them much. She was also very busy herself. Now that Gu Jinxuan was back, she wanted to take the twins in and discipline them properly.

"Okay, you all sleep with mother," Lin Qingxue said with a smile while holding the two children in her arms. Not only did the children miss her, she also missed the children.

The mother and her two children said this sweetly, but Gu Jinxuan, who was standing next to them, was unhappy. They were all family, and he couldn't be excluded by them.

"Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, what do you want to eat tonight? Daddy will ask the kitchen to make it for you," Gu Jinxuan squatted beside the twins and whispered.

"Meatballs/pork elbows," the twins shouted.

"Okay," Gu Jinxuan agreed without thinking. He called Chuntao to the small kitchen to pass on the message.

The young couple played with the twins for a while, and then it was time for dinner. Gu Jinxuan carried the twins to the inner room to wash their hands.

After washing his hands, Gu Jinxuan saw that Gu Huaiyuan and the other three had come over. He was secretly glad that he had asked Chuntao to go to the kitchen to tell them to order a few more dishes, otherwise there would not be enough to eat.

"Father," seeing Gu Jinxuan coming out holding the twins, Gu Huaiyuan and his two siblings stood up and called out.

"Come on, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" Gu Jinxuan nodded slightly and said in a soft tone.

Everyone washed their hands and sat around a large round carved pearwood table. The fireplace burned brightly, keeping out the winter chill and filling the room with a warm atmosphere.

Gu Jinxuan picked up a steaming meatball for the twins, and served a bowl of delicious chicken soup to Lin Qingxue.
