Chapter 92 She is not the only one for him

"Where is the crossbow on the table?" Qiu Yao looked at Xi'er nervously. She just asked Xi'er to watch Bai Yichu practice shooting at the homemade target on the wall, but after walking away for a while, the crossbow disappeared.

"Here it is." Xi'er went to the table, picked up the crossbow behind the tea set, and handed it to Qiu Yao.

Qiu Yao felt a little helpless about her cup of bow and snake shadow. She took the crossbow in Xier's hand and curled her lips and said, "You see, I'm always so careless. I don't know how many more jokes I will make when I go to the army."

Seeing that Xi'er still bowed her head and was silent with a respectful face, an idea suddenly flashed in Qiu Yao's mind, "Why don't Xi'er come with me? There will be a care at that time."

"If you go back to your wife, it is not a joke to go out with the army. This matter still needs the general's consent."

"Of course I know it needs his consent. I'll tell him when he comes back." The smile on Qiu Yao's face gradually faded, and was replaced by a little sadness. "I don't know where I've been. I haven't come back for two days."

"Madam, don't worry too much. It's common for the general to have a lot of affairs when he is leaving."

Qiu Yao carefully put away the crossbow, looked up and asked, "Xi'er, how many years have you been working here?"

"In my wife's words, it will be a full 14 years after this year."

"Fourteen years? So how old are you this year?

"It's just twenty."

"Twenty..." Qiu Yao's eyes flashed, "Is there a betrothed?

"Ah?" Xi'er raised her head in surprise, and then quickly bowed her head, "No."

"It seems that Bai Qi is still not thoughtful. The girl in double ten years actually let her stay in the house like this." Well, she admitted that she has been practicing crossbow for two days and is a little absent-minded and looking for trouble... But a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, just take it as a good deed. "Is there any favorite partner? I'll help you talk about it for you. Say it?

"Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to stay in the house all the time to serve the general and his wife." Xi'er's eyes restrained, and her calm tone undoubtedly poured a large basin of cold water on Qiu Yao.

It's worthy of being a person in Baiqi's house. It's really close to the red, the red, the black...

"Well, if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know. You're welcome." Qiu Yao pulled out a bright smile and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar white shadow coming to the room outside the window. Then she walked to the door with Bai Yichu in her arms. After entering the door, Bai Qi first looked at Bai Yichu in Qiu Yao's arms, and turned to Xi'er and said, "Take the prince out first."

Xi'er said.

The door was slowly closed from the outside, and Qiu Yao went to the table and poured a cup of tea for Bai Qi.

"Is this an arrow target?" Bai Qi did not cut directly into the theme, but went to look at a round cake-shaped object hanging on the wall.

"Yes, the distance from the bed to the wall is about four steps. When I have nothing to do, I sit ** to practice shooting." This inspiration comes entirely from the dart dart board behind the door of the previous house.

Bai Qi's eyes stayed on the target for a few seconds, and then turned around and sat at the table. "The day of sending troops should be ahead of schedule. You should get ready as soon as possible."

"Good." In these days, Qiu Yao has gradually got used to Bai Qi's way of speaking. Obviously, he is a military general, but he is as thoughtful as a counselor.

What he really wanted to say was later. Qiu Yao followed his meaning and waited for him to get to the point.

"The housekeeper Fu you saw a few days ago is responsible for taking care of the affairs of other courtyards, and the person who lives in the other courtyard is my original match. She has always been weak and sickly, so she lives in a secluded suburb. The crazy girl's child you met on the street before was adopted by her, but now some things have happened there for her husband. What's your opinion on letting them move here and live here in a few days?

"Is it the original match? In this case, of course they have the right to move back. But if he just needs to go to the suburbs to recuperate because he is in poor health, why did you hide it for so long? That crazy woman should also have a lot to do with the general, right?

The resentful eyes, the sad and desperate voice, and the familiar feeling all explain all this.

At the beginning, Bai Qi mistakenly thought that she had recovered her memory because of this incident. Then, it became their tacit secret to each other. Others were very secretive about this, so she avoided talking about it knowingly, but she could see that Bai Qi deliberately wanted to confess a lot of things today, so she simply solved the doubt that once lingered in her heart.

"That woman used to be my concubine."

Although it is almost the same as the answer I expected, this sentence is still a blow to Qiu Yao.

And that day, she clearly saw how rude the domestic servants were towards the woman, even if it was an unfavored concubine. After all, she was pregnant. Such treatment was really cruel.

She was immersed in his tenderness for too long, and almost forgot that he was Bai Qi. Wu Anjun Bai Qi, who regarded human life like grass and carried millions of lives.

So how can the grace she enjoys now last? She thought she had known him, but at this moment she suddenly felt that she knew nothing about him. Then how can she be sure that the woman's yesterday will not be her tomorrow?

A chill invaded the limbs and bones, and Qiu Yao was speechless.

She doesn't have to ask Bai Qi why, because the answer she got later must not be sincere.

"So that the child is the general's flesh and blood," Qiu Yao looked straight at the bottomless phoenix eyes for a long time and smiled happily and angryly. "Qiu Yao knows, just take them over."

Bai Qi frowned and wanted to say something. He swallowed it again. "I'll go to the palace first. If you have anything, you can talk to Xi'er."

Put down the empty teacup and Bai Qi turned around and was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute," Qiu Yao got up and stopped him. "Can I take Xi'er with me when I go on an expedition?"

"Good."

He didn't want to explain anything more, and his mind was rarely confused. Since the hidden person in the dark deliberately broke through all attempts to create chaos for him, he simply made it clear in advance to prevent him from falling into an overly passive situation.

But even if it has been made clear, Qiu Yao's reaction still affects her more than expected, and according to his current situation, the more he cares about a person, the more dangerous that person is and his own pressure will be more.

What he needs to do most is to hide it from her.

Qiu Yao stared at Bai Qi's back disappearing at the door, and her heart was full of flavors.

Did she leave like this? She knew that she couldn't get an explanation, but there was not even a word of comfort. Was it too cruel?

She knew that she did not feel that she was the only one who was Bai Qi after crossing the time, but in the past few years, Bai Qi has given her the feeling that she thought there was no other woman beside him. However, now he has revealed his carefully hidden truth, and what kind of situation has this put her?

Qiu Yao took down the crossbow at her waist and sat down to do mechanical exercises on the target on the wall. Just as she went to the wall and pulled out the arrows on it one by one, Xi'er's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Madam, Mr. Hu Yang is here."

The movement of his hand paused slightly, "Didn't you tell him that Wu Anjun was out?"

"I said, Mr. Hu Yang said he came to you."

"Look for me?" Qiu Yao hesitated for half a second, and then put away the crossbow and arrow respectively. "Let him wait for me in the room next to the general's study."

Strangely, as soon as Bai Qi went out, Hu Yang came to visit and named himself. Is this planned in advance?

Re-tied the crossbow to her waist. Qiu Yao settled down, pushed the door and walked out. Bai Qi has never told her about the situation in the court, and it is not convenient for her to ask, but now that people have come to her, she will naturally bring out the appearance of Mrs. Wu Anjun.

Stepping into Bai Qi's yard, the door of the hut was not closed, and all the guards who were guarding Wen Ci also withdrew. Qiu Yao approached the door, but the people there drank tea calmly and shook the feather fan in his hand from time to time, which was romantic. It was not until Qiu Yao stepped into the room with both legs that Hu Yang got up and made a formal salute.

"Mr. Hu doesn't have to be polite," Qiu Yao smiled and sat opposite Hu Yang. Xi'er lowered her head and stood quietly. Sir, you are really elegant. It's late autumn, and you still fan yourself.

"It's just used to it," Hu Yang didn't pay attention to Qiu Yao's malicious jokes and smiled casually. "I heard that my wife will go on an expedition with Wu Anjun?"

Qiu Yao was slightly surprised. Is this Bai Qi's disclosure to Hu Yang or... The other party suddenly asked her so directly that she really couldn't react. As Xier said, going on an expedition is not a child's play. If the king of Qin knows that Bai Qi's expedition still brings a family, no matter what the reason is, it is more or less unreasonable. As a result, I said it was no, no, no, no.

"Madam, don't worry too much," Hu Yang said and looked up at Xi'er, who was silent, and then smiled at Qiu Yao. "I don't know if you mind talking to Huaiqing alone."

"Xier is not an outsider. You can speak freely." Are you kidding? She didn't even figure out the other party's foundation. How could she be alone with this kind of person with a gentle appearance and heart? What's more, Bai Qi said that Xi'er's work is not bad, and she can protect herself when necessary.

"Madam is worried about what's wrong with Huai Qing?" Hu Yang smiled cheerfully, and Qing Jun's face with a bright smile always made it difficult for people to be wary of him. "Huaiqing is just a scholar, and he visited alone. The guards outside the door are all people in this house. Madam can rest assured."

She won't be so stupid about him if she knows her face and doesn't know her heart.

"Sir, it doesn't matter. Xi'er's qualifications in this house are much deeper than mine."

"In this case, Huai Qing said it directly..." The feather fan in Hu Yang's hand paused, and his body leaned forward slightly. Just as he was about to open his mouth, all the words suddenly disappeared in a voice outside the door.

"Madam, the general is back."
