Chapter 8

I hate myself for being so handy

The stepmother stood in front of Su Rui as if facing a formidable enemy, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming.

The man was dressed in a military uniform and looked upright. He was startled when he saw his mother-in-law, and then his eyes fell on Suri.

"The civilian woman and the daughter did not inadvertently break in, but they were driven by urgency," said the stepmother.

He signaled the soldiers to retreat, and when only the three of them were left, he asked, "Is she Hou Meiyu?"

The stepmother looked at him in panic: "Why do you know?"

He was not an outsider, and his stepmother didn't have to hide it, so she nodded in acquiescence.

"Mom, do you know him?" I had the impression that my stepmother was just an ordinary citizen in Banpo Village. How could she know someone from the imperial court? Su Rui thought secretly.

The stepmother hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "He is the Thunder Protector King of the Protector Yu Lei Mansion of the Kingdom of Yu."

King Lei Hu became even more suspicious and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little confused, King Leihu continued: "The Queen Mother learned that the eldest princess had given birth to a daughter. She searched hard and found that she was in Banpo Village. She sent someone to Banpo Village to take her back to the palace. It is estimated that she will arrive today.

"

Su Rui was shocked that Hou Meiyu was actually the daughter of the royal family!

She did not want to fight in the palace and be trapped in the palace.

When the stepmother heard what he said, she felt happy and worried at the same time. She said directly: "Meiyu was hunted down last night, and she fled here today to avoid those people."

King Lei Hu glared angrily and snorted coldly: "Those people are so arrogant. It just so happens that we are also going back to Beijing, so let us protect you back to Beijing."

Can she go back? She is being chased before she even returns to the palace. I am afraid it will be even more difficult and dangerous in the future. But they have all chased them here. How can she compete with them on her own? There is even the Empress Dowager and others in the palace.

Take care of.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Rui decided that it would be safer to accompany him back to the palace temporarily.

The stepmother hesitated for a few moments, nodded and said, "Well, then I'll trouble King Lei Hu."

Su Rui suddenly hated herself for holding so many leaves, causing so many troubles, she couldn't think of any more, and she would still be trapped in the palace in the future!

After they walked away, a man gently landed on the tree not far away, his eyes radiating cold light.

Soon, a man rushed over and said with a frown: "Master, Dao Lian didn't come back on time, he might be in trouble."

"Well, go back." With a voice, the two of them headed towards the camp of Dragon Country.

At the same time, three carriages and a dozen attendants came to Banpo Village and picked up Feng Xiaoyue and her family.

Song Ziyan and Chen also got on the carriage.

With everyone talking about it, he left Banpo Village.

And Suri accompanied the stepmother and King Leihu into the border camp of Yuzhi Country. The atmosphere was completely different from the outside. It was full of tension and the smell of men's sweat.

The generals are training, the fire-headed troops are smoking, and the soldiers are taking turns patrolling and not daring to relax.

Suri followed them and looked around, pondering.

The stepmother whispered: "King Lei Hu, it is still unclear whether the situation is good or bad, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Meiyu and I should go to Beijing in a low profile."

Those people were able to track down Banpo Village and find them first for assassination. As she said, they really needed to be cautious to avoid accidents.

King Lei Hu nodded in agreement: "What you said is true, so I have wronged the eldest princess for the time being."

So he called the soldiers and arranged a small tent for them to live in, claiming that they were the wives and daughters of his old friends.

King Lei Hu glanced outside and asked: "Shi Linyue, Lei Xiao hasn't come back yet?"

A middle-aged man in gray clothes bowed and said: "Young Master went to chase the infiltrator and hasn't seen him back in the city yet. Do you need your subordinates to look for him?"

He has not been seen back, and Shi Linyue is also a little worried whether he was ambushed by people from the Kingdom of Dragon.

While King Lei Hu was pondering, Lei Xiao and his guards had entered the general's tent carrying a bloody human head.

"Father, he was one of that man's personal guards. Unfortunately, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. The boy took his head back and planned to hang it on the city wall." He said proudly.

King Lei Hu stared at him and motioned to Shi Linyue to take it down and deal with it.

He said: "Just come back safely." Then he continued to study the terrain and formations.

When there were only two people left in the room, Lei Xiao asked: "Father, I heard that you brought back a woman and a girl today."

"Yeah." He responded smoothly without raising his head.

What Li Bao said turned out to be true!

"Why?" Lei Xiao didn't understand. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but remind him: "The Kingdom of Dragon is about to move. This is the border land between the two countries. Ordinary people will not approach it unintentionally. I am afraid that these two people will do something to me.

We are disadvantaged."

"Won't."

Seeing that he was still unmoved, Lei Xiao said bluntly: "I have never heard my father mention my old friend's wife and daughter. It must have been a long time ago or there may be some hidden secrets, but my father, let alone leading troops to fight, also brought his daughter with him.

This makes the soldiers laugh. These two people are really suspicious."

King Lei Hu put down his book of war and raised his head to look at his serious expression.

"Who dares to talk nonsense in my camp! Tomorrow we will be guarded here by General Zheng and Vice General Lin and then we will return to Beijing. If there is nothing else, go down and prepare."

His tone was irresistible, and Lei Xiao did not dare to disobey him.

"Yes, the child will go back and clean up right now." He took a step back and turned to leave.

"Shilinyue." King Lei Hu raised his voice to the outside.

Shi Linyue asked: "King Lei Protector, what are your orders?"

"Follow him."

Shi Linyue responded and went out. He was a confidant of King Lei Hu, so he naturally understood what his master meant.

He followed not far behind Lei Xiao.

Sure enough, Lei Xiao did not go back to his own tent but walked into the family tent.

Su Rui was slightly startled when she saw him. This was the military camp of the Imperial Kingdom. It was not surprising that he was there, but she didn't expect him to come to the door. Thinking of his disregard for his own safety and cruelty, he didn't have a good feeling towards him.

But Lei Xiao was different. He didn't expect that the wife and daughter of his old friend in his father's mouth were actually her. He frowned slightly and hummed softly: "It's you!"

Hou's mother had never seen him before, so she naturally didn't know his identity. She just looked at "Hou Meiyu" and him with confusion, wondering when Meiyu knew this person.

Su Rui came back to his senses. This was because he was not in his territory to care about his previous behavior. He smiled lightly, nodded and saluted, then turned around and said to his mother: "Mom, when I first went to find you, I was threatened by an intruder. It was he who saved me.

I’ll have the chance to meet you.”

He was a lifesaver!

The mother-in-law said gratefully, "I would like to ask the general, I would like to ask, what should I call her?"

"Lei Xiao."

Just as the stepmother was about to express her gratitude again, Lei Xiao poured a basin of cold water on her, looked at Su Rui coldly and said, "If I knew you would appear here, I would rather not have saved you!"

He doesn't believe in coincidences in the world.

Not long ago, I encountered her being kidnapped by people from the Kingdom of Dragon. That person actually did not kill her in that situation, and now she appeared in the military camp so coincidentally. What a coincidence! What an old friend, wife and daughter, it is simply ridiculous!

The more Lei Xiao watched, the more convinced she was that she and that man were acting together, and she must have a conspiracy!

She was still thinking about saying that people had to bow their heads under the eaves and not care about the previous things with him, but now she really didn't want to.

Su Rui wiped away his humility and said coldly: "Since General Lei is so blunt, I won't be tactful."
