In fact, it's no wonder that he failed to recognize the person at first, because his vision was dim just now, and he really couldn't see very clearly - but at this moment, Chang Kuo looked carefully through the candlelight in the car, and realized that this reason was not the most important.
The main reason is that this child has changed so much.
The war in the south had been going on for nearly two years, and he had not been home for two years, so his impression of the girl was still at the time when she was fourteen years old.
If we talk about the facial features, it is true that they have grown a lot and have changed quite a bit, but it is not just that, it seems that everything else has also become very different.
Is it because he is pretending to be a teenager?
Chang Kuo couldn't say much at the moment, but inevitably, his attention was focused more on the confusing situation in front of him.
"Dare I ask Prince Wei, what is going on?" Knowing that his little girl was not good at speaking and was weak and introverted since she was a child, Chang Kuo subconsciously asked Wei Shuyi first.
Wei Shuyi glanced at Chang Sui Ning and first explained the matter of his abduction to Hezhou.
"What?!" Chang Kuo was shocked: "There is such a thing!"
He was shocked and angry: "Why didn't that brat Sui'an send a letter to tell me about such a big thing! How on earth does this bastard behave like a brother!"
As he spoke, he slapped his right hand heavily on the side table placed in the car. There was a "bang" sound, and the weak and helpless side table split under his palm.
"..." The carriage shook a little, and Wei Shuyi subconsciously held on to the wall of the carriage.
Chang Suining looked at the cracked small table, but it was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Cracked very well.
Although he has become an old man, he is still a strong man.
Chang Kuo's heart broke when he saw the girl looking at the girl's cracks without saying a word. He raised his hands to help the girl's shoulders, but he didn't dare to touch them hard.
The sound could only frighten her: "How...how could we meet a kidnapper?!"
"Did they hurt you?"
Seeing that the girl didn't cry or speak, Chang Kuo was at a loss: "But you're scared?! Sui Ning... don't scare daddy!"
Chang Sui Ning had a thought in his heart: "Ah—Dad?"
Ah Li actually called him daddy?
Then she will...?
Chang Kuo's eyes turned red when he heard this extremely difficult "father". He nodded and patted the girl's shoulder. He looked at Wei Shuyi and said, "Your Majesty Wei, my child Suining has been weak since he was a child. He is very timid.
Xiao, I’d better bother Prince Wei to tell you the whole story..."
Wei Shuyi's eyebrows moved slightly.
Weak and timid...
Although General Chang is a military commander, he is extremely humble.
He looked at Chang Sui Ning, but did not elaborate on her heroic deeds. He only said roughly: "...Wei was also entrusted by Yu Gong's secret letter and found out that Chang Sui Ning was living near Hezhou, but he could not do anything to help her.
Busy, in the final analysis, it’s Mrs. Chang’s luck and good fortune that can avert danger into safety.”
The phrase "auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance" encompasses all brave actions.
As for whether to say it or not, that is a matter for the Chang family.
Chang Suining looked over subconsciously and saw a tacit smile in Wei Shuyi's eyes.
"What a blessing among misfortunes! This must be a palace...it must be blessed by the gods!"
Chang Kuo was overjoyed, but felt sorry for the girl in front of him: "Sui Ning blames my father for not returning home for two years and neglecting the family? It is indeed my father who is not good and makes Sui Ning suffer..."
As he said that, he became more and more ashamed and blamed himself, and then promised: "But don't worry, when I get home, I will teach that brat Sui'an a lesson, and I will have to break one of his legs!"
Chang Suining: "..."
Chang's way of expressing his shame was to break his son's legs?
"And that kidnapper who killed them with a thousand cuts! I must personally cut their corpses into thousands of pieces and chop them into pulp with a thousand cuts!"
Chang Kuo's state switches back and forth between rage and kindness.
It’s just that he really doesn’t know how to express this love appropriately. He is a rough person, and he has always been in a hurry when getting along with this delicate and frail girl in the past few years——
At this moment, I saw that although the girl had grown a lot taller than two years ago, she was getting thinner. I felt guilty and distressed. I took out a piece of dry biscuit from the side, opened the oil paper, and handed it over: "Here, eat.
A piece of cake will overwhelm you!"
Looking at the big cake that was suddenly taken out, Wei Shuyi had an idea - Mrs. Chang's family are all extraordinary.
Chang Suining looked at the dry flatbread and the big, chapped, thick hands.
After a moment, she reached out and took it, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
The dry food in the army is only for filling the stomach, and naturally it is not delicious.
But when she took one bite of the cake, she really felt... that she was home.
Only when she saw Da Chang and took this bite of cake did she truly go home.
There is a feeling of being carried back to one's hometown, laid to rest, and buried in one's hometown...
The girl lowered her head and ate the cake seriously, her lowered eyes slightly red.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Chang Kuo poured another bowl of water and handed it over.
Chang Suining took it and drank a bowl of water. When he raised his eyes, he met Chang Kuo's eyes that were filled with tension and worry.
The girl curled her lips and smiled at him.
After Chang Kuo was startled, his face, which had been torn by sand and war, quickly pulled out a naive smile in response to her.
This childish smile looked too silly. Chang Suining was amused, and the smile in his eyes became even deeper.
This will be her "father" in the future. Things in this world are really unpredictable.
In fact, she has never called anyone daddy.
Her original father could not be called father.
But Chang Kuo was much older than her, and considering his original age, he was indeed as good as her father.
And after living and dying together for many years, she has always regarded him as a trustworthy family member. Even if he really calls him daddy, she will not be at a disadvantage.
Of course, Lao Chang made a lot of money.
Chang Sui Ning endured the tears and continued to eat the cake.
Wei Shuyi saw this in his eyes and said amusedly: "Miss Chang is like this, I don't know how harshly Wei treated her like this."
Chang Kuo smiled heartily after hearing this, and then he even bothered to thank Wei Shuyi again and again.
"To report to the Governor, Prince Wei and a young man boarded General Chang's carriage. General Chang said that he had private matters that he wanted to discuss with Wei Shilang in detail, and sent someone to inform the Governor." Yuan Xiang was about to tell the Governor about this.
convey.
"I know." Cui Jing immediately said nothing.
"I wonder who the young man who is following Prince Wei is? He looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old." Yuan Xiang said curiously, "General Chang seems to be very nervous about that young man."
Cui Jing did not answer.
Yuan Xiang was accustomed to it, and the governor was always like this. He was not very curious about anything, let alone cared about it.
Oh, except for the Xuance army and the war, and... "that thing" in the Dayun Temple in the capital.
He didn't know exactly what secrets were hidden in Dayun Temple, but he knew that there were things there that the governor was extremely concerned about.
