The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 418 Part 2

When the Chao army was finally driven back, Old General Qin began assigning blame. Lu Wu's dereliction of duty was enough to warrant execution by beheading. But out of consideration for Lu Zhenghe, Old General Qin had him beaten dozens of times with a plank. Lu Wu was beaten nearly to death. How could Lu Zhenghe stand by and watch his son be beaten to death? He knelt before Old General Qin, kowtowed, and begged him to spare Lu Wu this once, for his sake.

Lu Zhenghe had risked his life for Da Xia many times. In the end, Old General Qin kicked Lu Wu, demoted him, and let the matter drop. At the same time, a decree arrived from the capital, enfeoffing Qin Hengxuan as a first-rank marquis.

Chapter 418 

The Chao Kingdom had spent twenty years preparing for this attack. Unlike Da Xia, which was surrounded by predatory smaller kingdoms like Da Liang and Northern Qi, the Chao Kingdom had only one small kingdom to its north — nothing to fear — and its western border faced the sea. This meant it could throw its entire strength into attacking Da Xia. But Da Xia's main forces were split into two groups — the Qin family army and the Northwest army.

The Qin family army guarded the south, while the Northwest army guarded the north. The Chao Kingdom's strength matched Da Xia's. Facing an enemy force twice their size, no matter how formidable the Qin family army was, they couldn't drive them back in a short time.

After that, whatever Qin Shiyi asked, Old Man He stopped trembling and finally spoke clearly.

Qin Shiyi asked about what happened in the mountains that year. Old Man He had nearly died on the mountain back then, and the experience still gave him lingering fear. He remembered it clearly.

"I fell into a ditch at the time and couldn't move. I caught a chill that night, and by the next day I was drowsy and muddle-headed. I was about to slip away, but I heard someone shouting."

"Shouting what?"

At that moment, Guaizai was practicing martial arts in the tent for Gungun and Dandan to watch. Old Madam Qin peeled two oranges for Gungun and Dandan, and one more for Old General Qin.

His left hand was inconvenient, so he didn't break his into segments and just took a bite — but half the orange accidentally fell to the ground. Gungun saw it, picked it up, saw it wasn't dirty, blew on it, and as if making an exchange, handed his own orange to Old General Qin. The one that had fallen, he ate himself in a few bites. Then he clapped his chubby little hands to cheer Guaizai on.

"Brother is so awesome!"

Old General Qin and Old Madam Qin were stunned.

Chapter 417

Qin Hengxuan and Meng Ruqing were especially afraid Fang Zichen wouldn't acknowledge them. If he harbored resentment toward them but they didn't get the chance to explain in time, Fang Zichen would probably immediately send someone to take the three children back, and then hide far away from them. And a letter couldn't possibly explain things clearly in just a few words.

Some matters were urgent, yet they also left one feeling timid and uneasy. Clearly, a single letter could have cleared everything up, and all their troubling doubts could have been explained. Clearly, they were desperate to acknowledge their son and ask if the child knew what had happened back then. And yet they didn't dare put brush to paper, always finding one worry or another.

Old Madam Qin returned after a good while, the corners of her eyes slightly red and damp.

Everyone discussed things together for a long time. Though the fog was thick and some things were completely inexplicable, they couldn't suppress their curiosity about Fang Zichen.

They had only heard about him from the shadow guards and Guaizai. They'd never had contact with him, and now they were intensely curious.

Old Madam Qin already considered Fang Zichen her grandson. She called Zhong Momo to bring Uncle Tang over and asked him, "What kind of person is that Fang boy?"

Qin Hengxuan and Meng Ruqing were thoroughly defeated, speechless beyond words.

At first they really couldn't tell, but once Guaizai said it, it was vivid—yet they hadn't thought of it because they'd simply never seen it.

Dandan pouted and kissed Qin Hengxuan and Meng Ruqing, very suddenly. Qin Hengxuan asked in surprise why he suddenly wanted to kiss them.
